Letters to the Editor
Chalk Talk
Last night I kibited on a freshman bull session, to see how some of our fledgling Jayhawkers feel about things in general, now that they have survived rush week, been officially "oriented," and have attended more than a week of classes.
By CATHY PILLER and BETTY BERRY
They enthusiastically agreed that college is a wonderful place, and that Mt. Oread is tops, in more ways than one. They praised the campus, the view, Potter lake, the rallies, the friendliness.
Eager Pledge—I always though most pledges usually tried their level best to find some way or means of keeping out of study hall, but—Mary Pat Yingling, Theta pledge, was walking down the campus with Anne Scott one day when she suddenly noticed that the hill was bare of other students.
- * *
With a sudden start, she took a quick glance at Anne, bolted in no little hurry down the walk, and swished behind the doors of the library. I guess there's an exception to every rule!
Dear Editor:
The Daily Kansan Dear Editor:
"But everything can't be perfect," I protested. "Isn't there anything you don't like?"
An unbeliever—One young lady on the hill didn't seem to believe that the whistle keeps the correct time, so she took to carrying a huge alarm clock around under her arm. In Spanish last week, Virginia Shuss set down her clock and had just settled down to work when suddenly "Little Ben" began to ring wildly.
Some Mixup—Alex G. Bell never dreamt that his machine would be the cause of so many embarrassing situations—like the one at the Chi Omega house the other evening. Fiji Bill Sharp called at the house for his date, Joan Larson, and was told she wasn't back from Topeka vet.
It was a very crimson-faced Virginia who stopped the clock and vowed silently that she would never doubt the whistle again!
When the Chi O's found Joa upstairs, coolng her heels while waiting for Bill, and told her about the mixup—Joan hurriedly phoned the Phi Gam house.
AKORN Lunch—Beef, cheese sand,
10c; hot dog and hamburger, 5c;
cigarettes, 16c. Open 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.
Monday through Saturday; evenings,
7 p.m. to 11 p.m., all day Sunday,
420 Ind.
Animals die more quickly from lack of sleep than from lack of food.
FOUND—Silver identification bracelet with name engraved on face. Owner may have same by identifying and paying for ad. Call at the Daily Kansan office.
"Why don't the teachers let us know how we're getting along?" I'd like to know, before final week, whether I'm flunking chem."
Fun in the Library-The hours AND hours in the library aren't really as dull as all the freshmen try to make the actives believe—
- * *
FOR SALE—Suit-size 37, sport coat size 37, slacks, waist 33, sport coat size 40. All practically new. Call 1387J.
OPEN all day Sunday. 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Akorn Grocery, 420 Ind.
Last week a note (one of the most popular means of undercover communication) landed on the KAT table from the Phi Delt's. "Twas a kind invitation to the pledges to come and sit at the Phi Delt table, but "not enough chairs" the Theta's replied. So—those eager-beaver boys promptly moved to one with pulity of chairs. Yes! Studying CAN be fun!
"Why don't they give us more definite assignments? I haven't a thing to do in study hall, and how will I learn anything?"
By chance (and what a chance) she was cut in on another conversation—the maculine voice sounded familiar- None other than Bill negotiation with a Gamma Phi for a date that night! What a coincidence!
The eyelids blink from three to six times a minute.
Sincerely, M.T.
NOTICE—To the University Students, Friday, Saturday and Sunday there will be a Taxie from Hunsenger. Phone 12. Located on or near the campus from 8 a. m. to 7 p. m.

There it is. We are proud of our university and our teachers. But our young minds need young viewpoints, as well as experience. We need teachers who can stay three jumps ahead of us, instead of limping behind on crutches.
just question any of the Theta pledges on the subject!

"That's not as bad as one of my old professors. He told me that absent-mindedness is part of his profession, because it's the easiest thing to do. He doesn't know what he is going to say, then doesn't remember what he said, after he has said it."
"Why don't they use simpler words, so we students who came straight from high school can catch on, until we learn their language? My physiology professor talks as if we all had doctor of philosophy degrees in chemistry and physics."
"That's right! Some of them can't even see the front row. In one class this morning the professor said, 'It's a little hot in here. Will one of you men in the back row please open a window?' And the back row was full of girls!"
"Why don't we ever have a chance to talk to them?"
1025 Mass.
"Why don't the old teachers retire?"
