THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Could Ski Trip Be Postponed For Duration?
The campus winter sports club has already outlined quite an ambitious schedule for its members. The ski trip to Colorado is by far the most exciting venture yet suggested, but is it such a good idea, after all?
From the standpoint of time alone, a vacation of six days is scarcely long enough to give students ample time at home for Christmas, to say nothing of an extra trip of 600 miles or so. Chances are good for a white Christmas in Kansas this year, so why not content yourselves with skiing on the slopes of Mt. Oread some weekend, and postpone the Colorado trip?
Transportation is certainly not easy at this time of year. Trains will be crowded, and sufficient gasoline for automobiles would be almost impossible to get. How could the skiers answer the eternal question, "Is this trip really necessary?" Even if they had train reservations, would they allow their pleasure trip to interfere with, perhaps, a serviceman's furlough?
Christmas is a special time of year, when everyone wants to be home with those he loves most. Why not stay at home this Christmas, and save the Colorado plans for some post-war year when vacations will probably be longer than six days, when transportation will be easier, and when students can take time to enjoy themselves sincerely, without depriving anyone else of possible pleasure?
The idea is a good one, and it has attracted comments from a large percentage of the student body, but wouldn't it be better to wait until the winter after the war? The skiing and skating on the campus planned by the club sound like fun for everyone, but the ski trip is just a little too ambitious.

Rock Chalk Talk
By PAT PENNEY
The Phi Psi-Theta feud continued:
Theta lips weren't smiling, and neither were the Pi Phis for that matter, when the illumined Theta kite was found hanging over the Pi Phi front door one morning early this week. The Phi Psi had gotten possession of the huge kite the last time they served dinner at the Theta house, and in the dead of night, they hung it over the Pi Phi portal, attaching it to the porch light, so it was shining brightly when the girls left for school the next a.m.
To retaliate, the Pi Phis descended upon the Psi ensis at dinner the next day and a battle royal ensued. The furniture flew, and so did Marilyn Erway when Bill "Gargantus" Ritt drew her out the window of the Psi sun porch. Pi Phis managed to escape however, with only a minimum of bruises and numerous trophies, lamps, ash trays, and most of the Psi silverware. A vengeful visit is expected at the Pi Phi lodge any time. Consequently, the from door is locked during meals—the housemother's idea.

Miller ala Mode: Bob "Precious"
Miller has been seen in the Union
lately, printing on all the menus in
bold print: "Precious Miller, V-12.
Phone 2041. If Miller can't do it, no
one can." Well, he's gotta run his
stock up someway.
Meet me in St. Louis: Patsy Nees,
Chi O pledge, received a long distance call at 3 a.m. Friday from an army flier whom she hadn't seen in two years, nor heard from in six months. The flier called from New York, where he had just arrived from Switzerland, having been a German prisoner of war. Pat is on her way to meet him in St. Louis, a broad smile on her countenance.

Gypsy Rose Lushring: The boys in PT's 9 and 10 are withdrawing their nomination of Lush Lushring for 100 per cent Goodness Man. Maybe Lil' Abner can survive the perils of the big city, but not Lush. Lush saw his first follies in K.C. last weekend, and now, they say, he's a changed man.
"Plans are being made by the ISA
Chaperones for the dance will be Mr. and Mrs. Harry H. Sisler and Mr. and Mrs. Calvin VanderWerf. Refreshments are to be served during the evening.

An apple for the teacher: Restriction has rather shackled Dan Chase, but he has his "moll" working for him. The other day, Dan had Jane Woostemeyer give Captain Michelman a ride home, in the hopes that he could get off restriction for the Beta turkey pull. Did it work, Dan?
Dorothy Helene, vocalist, will be featured, as will Gene Johnson, on the piano, and Bill Brazier, trombone player, said Dick Hartzell, member of the I.S.A. council.
Doesn't affect me, affect me, affect me; Eric Eulich, Fiji, seems to be going around in somewhat of a stupor. At dinner one night, he poured vinegar instead of syrup on his bread. Is it the long distance romance or the KU Alpha Chi that has him in this state of mind, we wonder?
I.S.A. Will Swing Out At Formal Saturday
The Wyandotte Swing Masters will provide the music for the Independent Student association's Christmas formal, from 9 to 12 p.m., Saturday, in the Union lounge. Appearing on the campus for the second year, the Kansas City high school dance band will be directed by Wallace Snoderly, trumpeter.
Stockings Production Down
Britains's stocking production is now only about one fifth of what it was in 1939, according to a leading British hosiery manufacturer. Where en pairs of stockings a year for every they once produced nearly two dozoman in Britain, they are fortunate if they can keep up to an average of five pairs per woman.
council to make this party an annual affair if this first party draws a large enough crowd." Don Alderson, president of the organization, has stated.
Admission Saturday evening will be by membership card, but non-members will be admitted at the usual rates.
With approximately 400 students belonging this semester, the I.S.A. now has its largest membership since the beginning of the war.
