Students Raise Faculty Disgust On Employment
Almost from the beginning of the war the weary home front has had a lot of fun I laughed at cartoons illustrating the change of attitude that will take place after the war between employer and employee, seller and consumer. The lady of the house who will no longer have to let the maid wear her fur coat to keep her, and the restaurateur who will have to take down his "customers we can get" signs are popular examples.
Everybody who has had contact with discourtesy, poorly done work, and the temperament of workers who take advantage of a labor shortage to be shiftless has made out a private black list of persons who won't get his patronage in the post war days when a choice is possible again.
It may shock them, but University students are going to find themselves on the black list of quite a few employers. They are the professors and staff members of the University who hire student help.
The students employment bureau,
in Miss Marie Miller's office, has
nanded many cases since the war of students who sign up for a job at a certain wage only to walk out on their employer when they find a job downtown with a five cent an hour raise. They usually do so in the middle of a term when the employer can not find anyone else to take the place. Students who might be interested in the job have already made out their schedules and have no time for the work.
If he stopped to realize what he is storing up for future University students who will need those jobs he is closing to them, the student might not be in such a hurry to work downtown. After every war there has been a depression when jobs are scarce. After the last one, students at K.U. were living in bare rooms with nothing but a cot and a small gas jet over which they heated the little food they could get to eat. National Youth Administration had to be set up to keep many students from starving. There just weren't enough jobs to employ all of the students who had to support themselves.
Rock Chalk Talk
The government is doing all it can to insure a postwar period without a depression, but there is bound to be come slackening off of prosperity. The students of five years from now are going to look back and curse the students of today for shutting off their opportunities to a college education if the present trend to take jobs lightly continues. —K.G.

Back to father and mother—K. U. students, deliberious over the thought of an 8-day vacation, groped their way through finals, boarded the nearest bus or train, and reeled home to bed. After parents succeeded in getting their offsprings aroused from their winter's naps, they saw little of them, for they were off to put their free moments to good use. Many couldn't stand separation from their buddies for a whole week, so they journeyed to neighboring towns to visit.

Rum and coca-cola-ing -Wichita seemed to be the hot spot of the state, with everyone drifting in from Hutch, ElDorado, Emporia, and all points north, east, west, and south. Blue Mooning were Marsh Fryer and ASC prexy, Persis Snook, Bob Stewart and Hanna Hedrick, Jason Dixon and Barbara Neely. Don Cousins and Norma Henry, Dottie Stodder and Jim Conard, Mike Kuklenski and Marjorie Snyder.
Basketbowl I — The team, en route to Ames, had its usual rolling good time off the court, and came home with tales of some cochques,
though the right one wasn't included. Charlie Moffett was startled by a girl in the Union Station in K.C., who marched up, said, "I know who you are. You're Charlie Moffett." Moffett blushed modestly and admitted she was right, and the girl, who said she was from M.U., proceeded to place one well-aimed kiss upon our hero.
Then, on the bus from Des Moines to Ames, the team was admitted first, then the servicemen, then civilians, who were seated on the laps of our big handsome players (just the women, naturally!). Kirk Scott refuses to talk about cuddling a coed, but just smirks knowingly.

Phi Sigh — Eddie Brunk, Phi Psi pledge, spent a gay Saturday evening in Kansas City, but was quite chagrined when he discovered Sunday that he had had a rip about a foot long in the seat of the pants that he had worn Saturday night. Obliging pledge brother Burris Jones informed him, "Oh, yeh, Ed. I saw the rip and meant to tell you—just forgot, that's all."

Started a quarter of a century ago, the annual contest for high school newspapers of Kansas is being conducted by the department of journalism with April 5 set as the closing date for entries.
High School Papers Hold Annual Contest
"Merit—not size—counts," is the slogan for the contest in which will include eight divisions of journalistic competition with winners of first, second and third places in each division.
The divisions are: news story, editorial, feature story, human interest story, interview, service to school, business management, and miscellaneous.
Because of war restrictions the high school journalism conference which for its 23rd year met on the campus in 1941, again will be postponed. At the close of the war and with restrictions removed, the 24th conference will be called.

Women are a pack of copy-cats.
Two years ago college cuties were happy if their sloppy-joe sweater covered up their skirt. Then Lana Turner spoiled it all. College girls put up a bold front and supported the new cling-tight regime—until one day a blonde strolled down the campus in blue jeans. Hawk-eyed coeds knew "this was it," and every "on-the-ball" collegian added a pair to her wardrobe.
The well-girled Grecian beauties threw on a stole and spied on each other at the Parthenon. Even Cleopatra lifted her mascara long enough to read what Elizabeth Hawes had to say in the Daily Papyrus, because she knew the way to Anthony's heart depended on which smell of Chanel he liked best.

Women are funny. They laugh at silly hats and then blossom out in some bird's nest idea, because "my dear, it's the latest thing!" If Veronica forgets her bobby pins and lets her hair cover an eye, it immediately becomes the criteria for glamour.
Women are funny, but the world would get awfully monotonous without their trying to outdo each other. —E.A.B.

Fashion magazines and newspaper advertisements, running ahead of schedule as usual, are reminding their readers that spring is just around the corner. This has been going on for years. Even the cavewoman must have worried about "what to wear." It is an eternal trait of the female. The drapeshaped Roman belles may not have chattered over a foursome about the toga Mrs. Caesar was wearing, but it is certain they were on the warpath to get their three yards draped at the latest classical angle.
