THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Library Loafers Forget Purpose Of Study Room
Screaming, laughing, giggling, whistling, and whispering—could this be the library? Often thoughtless students forget to cease their audible conversations when they enter the front door. Between classes for 10- or 15-minute periods scores of noisy students swarm in and out of the building, not realizing they are creating a disturbance.
Meanwhile, those intently concentrating on their lessons are annoyed, and the more facetious ones probably murmur to themselves, "Is that trip really necessary?" In a way those who retire to the veranda for a smoke or to talk are to be commended. It is worse when they stay and continue their conversations.
These library loafers who go to a study room to meet their friends may have a misconception of the purpose of the place, or more likely they just don't think that they are bothering anyone. Just a little cooperation on the part of everyone would change the atmosphere of the library from a social gathering-place to a serious study room.
Next time you pull open the heavy outside door to Watson library, try to remember that some of the students have quizzes the next hour, even if you don't, and that silence is golden—especially in libraries.
Letters to Chancellor
At the All Student Council meeting that was scheduled for last night, these letters were discussed and sent to Chancellor Malott. They reveal the council's view on the publication.

Dear Chancellor Malott
In view of the trouble caused by the publication of the most recent issue of the "Sour Owl," we feel it incumbent to make the following statement to you.
At a meeting of the All-Student Council on August 8, the following resolution was passed: "That a committee be appointed to investigate and, if possible, to publish the 'Sour Owl' again." The committee was appointed by the president of the All-Student Council on the date the action was taken.
The committee later reported to the Council that publication of an issue of the "Sour Owl" was feasible and announced a possible publication date.
The All-Student Council freely confesses that it was remiss in its responsibilities in at least two important aspects. In the first place, it made no provision for the "Sour Owl" in its Bill on Publications. In the second place, it made no provision for faculty supervision in setting up the special committee which was authorized to publish the magazine. These failures were due to oversight rather than a deliberate attempt to evade administrative control.
The Student Council deeply deplores the embarrassment which has resulted to the University because of the edition of the "Sour Owl." Though the Council feels that the responsibility for the content of the magazine rests primarily with the staff, nevertheless, it is not desirous of evading the responsibility of ultimate control of the publication which did after all lie with the Council.
The staff of the "Sour Owl" has prepared an apology to the All-Student Council and through it to the persons who have felt injured as a result of the publication. That statement is appended herewith.
Rock Chalk Talk
By HARRIS and KEEVEN
Last night when the Gamma Phis were seated at evening chow, the Fsi Kittle car drove and halted at the front door. Soon a little lad (under-nourished pledge) was running up the walk, burst through the door, and deposited five bunnies on the dining room floor.
The Geepees took it in their stride, Psi antics being nothing new to them. They dubbed mother bun Sigma, with baby buns Gamma, Phi, Beta, and Psi. Ironically, Psi was the first to die. He passed out this morning probably from the shock of being the only Psi in a houseful of Phis.

Ode to a loved one--dent Council and through it to the persons who have felt injured as a result of the publication. That statement is appended herewith.

There were no financial remunerations to any staff member of said staff and the responsibility of editorship rests equally with each member. To the University, we of the staff would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere apologies.
P. G. Wodehouse, Humorist,
Charged With Aiding Enemy
Ralph Kiene than Jill Lauderdale and Ralph Kiene. After it was all over, Ralph suggested that practice makes perfect, and that the act could use a little more perfection.
Jean Hollis, Corbinite, was celebrating her -th birthday in a big wav.
Because of the trouble which has arisen regarding the recent issue of the "Sour Owl," an explanation from the staff seems in order. The staff, acting as a committee of the All-Student Council, was given the job of publishing the "Sour Owl." In the performance of this job it set about to pattern the publication after older issues and after magazines of similar type published at other universities. We assure the Council that any discredit to the University, and any personal injury resulting from this publication was not the result of any malicious intent whatsoever. We were perhaps thoughtless for which we are extremely sorry, particularly because that thoughtlessness seems to have resulted in hurt to particular individuals, but we had no intention to offer hurt to anyone.
London—(INS) — The arrest by French authorities of P. G. Wodehouse, famed British humorist and author, and Mrs. Wodehouse, was confirmed in London today. The author is accused of collaboration with the enemy, but specific charges were not revealed although it is known that he broadcast from the Berlin radio on a number of occasions.
Sincerely,
Staff members of the Sour Owl.
The All-Student Council Persis Snook, President Jack Button, Secretary
To President of the All-Student Council and Members Thereof;
After she opened many lovely gifts, a huge angel food cake was served. The custom is to have only the candles lit. But not this time! The doily on which the cake was placed was fairly going up in smoke along with the candles by the time it reached Miss Hollis.

It is a fact----

It was also uncertain whether Wodehouse would be tried in France or Britain.
Prof. Melvin was discussing the types of fowls consumed by the civilization during the feudal age in Modern European History class. He informed the class that guineas were originally from Guinea. They he asked where turkeys had their origin.
James McBride, freshman, responded immediately with the answer. "I should think from Turkey."
We'll drop the subject for the present, but it is a fact that "turkeys originated in the southern part of Mexico."

Campaigns Separated For White Memorials
Separation of the two campaigns for William Allen White memorials was accomplished at a meeting of committees attended by Chancellor Deane W. Malott at Wichita early in the week.
Through the new arrangement one corporation will seek a $250,000 fund through which the William Allen White School of Journalism will benefit, and the other corporation will try to obtain $50,000 for a memorial at Emporia.
Before the meeting, the funds were being sought by the committee for both funds, which caused some uncertainty and confusion. The William Allen White Emporia Memorial Foundation, Inc., already has substantial gifts for a shrine at the home city of the late editor. The William Allen White Foundation committee is now obtaining a sum through which Kansas journalism may be improved by lectures, awards and similar services. The foundation will be national in its scope, with a board of trustees authorized to accept gifts, grants and bequests to continue activities of the foundation and the School of Journalism.
