THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Plan Suggested For Revamping Of Congress
One of the main issues for debate at the opening of the 79th congress in January, probably will be the advisability of revamping the organization of the entire legislative body. Sen. Sam Rayburn of Texas gave the move its biggest impetus by signaling the house rules committee to consider a senate-approved streamlining bill.
At the same time, proposals for a modernization of congress were made in a report by the house committee to investigate executive agencies. Many other changes also have been suggested by critics who state that the executive power can not be checked unless congress too, modernizes and expands. Among the outstanding proposals which undoubtedly will be considered in the 79th congress are the fourfold program of the committee report, the increased salary issue, "rider" bills, and staff assistance.
The fourfold committee program included creation of a joint legislative staff service to supply technical information to congressmen; a joint appropriations committee to investigate expenditures; a joint committee to investigate the practices of executive agencies; and a committee to study congress and recommend even more improvements. John W. McCormack of Massachusetts, house majority leader, indicated his support of congressmen who advocate a pay raise for themselves. McCormack suggested voting for an increase in the present $10,000 salary to offset increased living costs. He also favored making expenses of congress members' Washington living quarters tax-deductible.
Sensor Andrews of Florida wants to stop the use of "rider" amendments, which would never pass on their own merits but are tacked on to important bills. Those who ridicule house and senate members want a solution to what they consider a dire need for good men with more information.
With the realization of the need for these changes in order that congress may keep up with the White House, the nation, soon will witness a major change in its governing legislative body.—J.V.
It has been pointed out that congress never has been willing to vote itself an adequate staff, being satisfied to allocate only $20,000,000 a year for all costs, including the salaries of all workers hired by the 551 members.

Lost, Strayed—and frantic. Chi Omegas called out everything but the marines last night, when someone discovered the unfortunate truth that 53 cartons of cigarettes brought back by Sister Ernie Karr for sale in the house, had disappeared. For an hour a search ensued which unearthed articles lost for several decades, but no cigs. Today the police took up the trail, but so far without results.
Fag-less Chi 's are in mourning.
Sax or No Sax—The New Year's dance may yet be a success, Union Activities sponsors are hoping, in spite of the rumor started before the holidays. Quote, Rudy Carl, "The band won't be very good. The star saxophonist won't be there." But since then, reliable sources have announced that the band sounds pretty good, even without Rudy and his sax.
There's Nothing Like Vacation or at least nothing like the aftermath, according to a local sorority. It seems the housemother, detained by lost train connections, did not ar-

How to Start a Trend — A Jayhawker with a stiff neck would have died of curiosity yesterday morning during the 9:30 trek down the campus. Someone looked up, and it spread from there. All that, and it was only a vapor trail.
Mutual Admiration—Friends of Sigma Kappa sisters Joan Harris and Helen "Toddy" Todd have long been amazed at the striking resemblance of the girls. Some friends are now wondering over the sincerity of such statements as "My, but you're looking beautiful, Toddy," from Joan, and "You look so nice, Joan," from Teddy.
