Kansan Comments City Day May Have Possibilities As Training for College Students
Wednesday was City Day in Lawrence. Thirty-eight high school girls and boys took over the city offices for the annual day of rule.
The city chiefs learned the students' slant on municipal government. The young participants in the American Legion-sponsored program got new ideas on the workings of our city.
Movements such as Boys' and Girls' City Day and Boys' and Girls' States, in which high school representatives from all over the state meet for a week of political training in state offices, are invaluable in giving future voters of this country a living lesson in civics. Many of them say, "I learned more about government from that experience than I ever not from any book."
If it does a constructive job for high school students, why wouldn't it enlighten college students on several subjects. How many average men and women on this campus know the duties of city officials, or even who they are? How many know where the city government buildings are located, where court is held, and where the mayor's office is?
Unless they have had actual contact with the city, few students are informed about the town they live in. Why not let enrollees in college courses get down-to-earth experience on the matter? Anyone can visit city offices, but unless there is an incentive, few students will take the time to learn.
It is an idea. Meanwhile, the American Legion is to be commanded for its sponsorship of a worthwhile project.-E.A.B.

Rock Chalk Talk
The eyes have it: Then there's the coed, who, when sighing over her sailor's big black eyes, says she just can't get over their "jet compulsion."

Close shave: Dauntless Dan Westerman, Sigma Chi, had a date with mischievous Meredith Gear one night last week, and was foolish enough to make a bet with her. Driving home, Dan stopped in front of "Ad" in his jalopy, and said to Meredith, "Bet you can't drive my car from here to the Chi O house."
Meredith took him up on the bet, and successfully drove to the house. Sunday found her at the Sigma Chi house to collect her bet wins.
Rather odd, to say the least, but Meredith's end of the bargain had been that if she won the bet, she would get to shave Dan's legs. So, over she went, complete with towel, shaving cream, and razor, and performed the delicate operation in the living room of the Chi house, while amused guests and parents wandered through on Sundav visits.
This is what Dan would call "bet repulsion."
Were you speaking to me?—Yours truly was giving her dog a run in the local park one Sunday, when to keep the pup from running in front of a car, she was forced to call, "Here Honey!" Honey is the blond cocker's name. At that moment "Luscious" Luehring, Sigma Chi, was driving by-and almost wrecked the car to see who was calling him. The
I had to call you on the phone:
"Dainty Small," DG, was delighted one night to get a call from Bill Kanaga, PT-5, her steady, but somewhat chagrined when the conversation began to dwindle and finally ceased. Heavy breathing on the opposite end of the line made her gasp to amused sorority sisters, "Why—Why, he's asleep!"

**Pinning by proxy:** Woody Runyan Phi Psi, lost his Phi Psi pin not long ago. Calmly ordering a new pin, and overlooking his carelessness, Woody forgot the loss immediately. But one day, Dick Stevens, high school boy who works at a local shoe store, reported to Earl Crawford, Phi Psi, that a high school girl classmate of his was sporting a Psi pin. Investigation netted the following facts:
Woody had sent the pin to the laundry, where the girl worked. She liked it, took it, wore it, and was the envy of the high school girls. Woody looked her up (and down), got his pin back, and remarked, "Hmmm. Not a bad looking chick either! I must look into this" Just reverse of the normal procedure, we'd say.
