Letters to the Editor Pep of Students Is Questionable at Game
The Daily Kansan Dear Editor:
The recoronation of King Pep evidently failed to impress some of our "loyal" student Jayhawkers. During the Iowa State game, the cheer leaders, with the aid of the Ku Ku's, Jay Janes, and a handful of students constituted the entire cheering section. I saw several at the game who didn't open their mouths except for a hotdog; two Kansas students even remained silent during the Rock Chalk. Of course there were many more silent "supporters" whom I didn't try to see.
I don't know what the trouble is with those poor saps. Maybe they consider themselves above such "silly" demonstrations of school spirit. If that is the case, they may as well sit at home and listen to the radio, for all the good they do the K.U. eleven. It's hard to play your heart out for a school that doesn't give one whether you win or not.
For this reason, every K.U. student and every substitute on the bench has a very important role in the playing of every game. A good ball club which is backed up by every student, and knows that it has that support, will will its games. K.U. has the first of these requirements, but falls short of unanimous support.
A revived school spirit has dawned and there is no place at K.U. for the student who hasn't enough school spirit to yell for his team. These had better loosen their tongues from now on, and back that Jayhawk.
Sincerely yours, D.O.
Labor Side Presented In Student's Letter
The Daily Kansan Dear Editor:
It is my opinion that K.U. students are entitled to have both sides of important controversial matters of national interest. This is, of course, impossible in the current labor-industry disputes which directly concern every one of us. It is only natural that the press, which depends upon advertising from big business for its very existence, is not going to present labor's case. Therefore, I have collected the following documentary evidence, not to express a personal opinion, but to illustrate the familiar adage that there are two sides to every question.
Before condemning' as unreason-
Rock Chalk Talk
She didn't even get to first base—Patty Armel, Theta, received word Thursday that she would get a call from Capt. Jimmy Waugh, formerly of K. U. and now of Rome. The big day dawned, and Patty's blood pressure soared, but she forced herself to listen for World Series scores so that she could pass them on to Jimmy.
By JOAN HARRIS
Consequently, when the call finally came through, she nervously began reeling off big league numbers until Jimmy shouted, "Please be still, honey!" It seems that Jimmy can get the ball scores from Rome and he was more interested in finding out what the score was with Patty.

with Patty
**Round Town**—Caught a glimpse of several sailors "in the huddle" with Pat Penney as the "Tiltawhirl" whizzed around at the carnival Friday night—What's this about "Mother" Mike Kuklenski supervising the Phil Delt fall housecleaning!—Bout this time Hill women are getting in trim for the volleyball season which will start off the year's sports. Those little loving cups do brighten up the house so. Elaine Thalman must have been tired that day she tried to tear the table apart in the Independent office. She seemed to think she'd left something in the drawer but there wasn't a drawer in the desk.
Step down—On rally night when Jayhawkers were out "Rock Chalking" up the town, a pair of Jay
able labor's request for a 30 per cent increase, let us examine the war profits of leading corporations after taxes were deducted. From the government pamphlet issued by the WPB, "American Industry in War and Transition," we obtain the following information: "Net profits after taxes, incased from $3,000,000,000 (1939) to $6,400,000,000 (1945)." That is 113 per cent. And from an OPA pamphlet: "All major segments of American business, every industry, and virtually every company, achieved a tremendous increase in profit during the war years . . ."
Some additional statistics from the OPA: 1944 Profits Higher than Prewar (1936-1939 average) by: motor vehicle parts, 896 percent; lumber, 1064 per cent; engines and turbines, 2431 per cent; food, 150 per cent; bituminous and other soft coals, 1148 per cent. This list, though incomplete, indicates the average.
It is upon these data that labor maintains a 30 per cent increase
Janes became slightly put out by six sailors.
It seems that each time "Ette Bennett and "Mmm" Morrill will try to march around six salts and get to the front of the parade line where they had been told they belonged, the boys would neatly put them back in their original places again.
Several shoves and a few kicks later, after the JJ's had tried to find a hole in the line without gaining any yardage, a spokesman of the "big six" turned around and said, "Lissen, ladies, all we know is that we play football for Kansas and please don't kick us outa line on the night before the game!"
---
They don't bat in the same league—A couple of characters from Michigan dropped off in Lawrence Saturday. Their spirits were high; in fact, their pockets were literally bulging with them! At the game they had great times cheering for Michigan whenever there was a little lull, and they seemed interested in finding out if the "red-headed yell leader" took vitamin pills.
After the alma mater had echoed through Kaw valley one was heard to remark, "In Michigan we always play another inning when the score is tied."
Baby talk—When Ev Ableson told Frank Stalzer, Battenfeld, that she had a surprise for him, he frankly forgot all about it before long. At noon chow, however, he was rudely reminded when a waiter carried in a baby rattle on a tray and set it down before his place.
Crowd Hears Wilkins
A capacity crowd heard the recital by Prof. Joseph Wilkins, department of voice, in Frank Strong auditorium last night. The tenor received several curtain calls, but sang no encores.
Let me repeat, I write this as an impartial observer. It constitutes, not a personal opinion, but rather an effort to bring to light facts which the NAM-supported newspapers are forced to suppress.
Sincerely yours, Axiomen Veritas.
Editor's Note: Veritas bases his material on information in a weekly publication, In Fact, in which no advertising appears. Although In Fact, under the editorship of George Seldes, is admittedly left-wing, it does, nonetheless, make an effort to bring to light such facts as it assumes are forced from publications supported by advertising.
