THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Student Election Gives Challenge; Vote Tomorrow
Tomorrow is "election" day on the campus. Tomorrow the poll on national politics sponsored by the Student Forums Board will be held. This event presents an opportunity which few of us may realize.
A great deal has been written and said concerning the great American right of franchise. Most of us students have not reached the age at which we can exercise that franchise. This student poll gives us an opportunity to do so, even though we may not be able to register an opinion officially. It gives us the opportunity to register our political opinions individually.
Possibly the most important thing about this election is that it gives us, as a student body, a chance to prove (to a great many people who scoff at what they call the frivolity of colleges) that we are really concerned with the future of our country, with the vital issues that we see today, with truly intellectual ideas. It gives the opportunity to prove that we are concerned with things more vital than whether Texas girls are more beautiful than "cornfed Kansans" or not. It really provides us with a challenge.
Directly concerned with that challenge is the matter of voting seriously. No doubt, it would be a great joke to say, over the beer-bottle-covered table, that you voted a straight Prohibition ticket. But the possession of such a joke is nothing when it is compared with the honest and serious registration of your political opinion.
This poll affords a serious challenge and a number of opportunities. We must avail ourselves of all of them—N.W.

BRITISH SEIZE---minded in Wichita Saturday night, forgot where he had checked his suitcase, and as a consequence. Hoov and several of his not-too-happy-about-the-whole-chums spent a nice quiet evening on a city-wide scavenger hunt for his belongings.

American troops on Leyte island continued their advance toward the north coast pushing the enemy into the Zarigara sector, only escape route to Ormez bay.
The important towns of Zarigara was their objective and a pincers move was under way to cut off all avenues of retreat.
NEW PARKING---minded in Wichita Saturday night, forgot where he had checked his suitcase, and as a consequence. Hoov and several of his not-too-happy-about-the-whole-chums spent a nice quiet evening on a city-wide scavenger hunt for his belongings.

Seniors must pay their fines as a prerequisite to graduation. Any student penalized for a violation of the traffic rules has the right of appeal to the Student Court. All rules governing traffic were formulated by the Associated Students of the University and were approved by the chancellor.
The tagging of cars for violations of any of the traffic or parking regulations will begin Nov. 10.
'LIMEY' BILL--minded in Wichita Saturday night, forgot where he had checked his suitcase, and as a consequence. Hoov and several of his not-too-happy-about-the-whole-chums spent a nice quiet evening on a city-wide scavenger hunt for his belongings.

letter was addressed to Kansas University in Kansas City, Kansas, and was forwarded to KU from there.
An interesting sidelight was his notation at the top of his letter: "On active service affoat." The letter was dated Oct. 3, 1944.
Johnny Doughboy in England writes home lavish praise upon the English girls, but has cagily never written much about Bill and the other fellows over there. This "lilmy" sounds plenty okay and he's one of our staunch allies, so how about it, KU co-eds? Wanta' give the guy a break?
Rock Chalk Talk
By PAT PENNEY
The Betas gave the Phi Psis a run for their money in Halloween prank-stering Tuesday night. All was quiet and peaceful on the Kappa front, until the Beta pledge class descended in a body upon the house to present the newest member of their group—one slightly emaciated, Sinatra-ish fugitive from some anatomy class. The new addition, Joe S. College (S for Skeleton) was carried lovingly in arms by Bob Mosser, and just to announce their arrival a little more emphatically, a few lighted firecrackers were tossed into the front hall. Well, boys will be boys!

Kenny Nohe, Sig Alph, was enjoying a pleasant visit at his old Alma Mater, Shawnee-Mission, in Kansas City over the holidays, until the principal himself took the pleasure of showing him the shortest and swiftest way OUT! It seems Kenny was smoking in the hall, and the new principal either mistook him for one of the students or totally disregarded the fact that Ken is an alum. Among other things, Ken's pride was a bit hurt. After all, an alumni is an alumn, you know.

Sara Jayne Scott, Pi Phi freshman,
is in search of one John Kenehan,
whose handkerchief appeared yesterday
in her laundry. Naturally,
Scotty wants to find the owner and
return his property, which couldn't
have anything at all to do with the
fact that she was overheard murmuring to herself, "John Kenehan—nice name." Well, John?

It is said that a good time was had by all at the Blue Moon Saturday night, when KU took over and few outsiders were able to push a way in. The Betas and Phil Deltis, among others, held forth with their dates, and Sigma Chis Mike Nichols, Jim Conard, and Bud Eisenhower journeyed all the way from Hutch just for the Beta party. "Tis also said that even the WU gals had dates that night, which is a rarity when the beauteous KU co-eds are in town. (Paid advertisement)."

Dean Lawson is running Dr. Wheeler a close second for being the best faculty member on the Hill. Freshmen are always informed. "You can't miss Dr. Wheeler—he's the one in the LOUD suit." And now Dean Lawson is claiming distinction as being pointed out to all comers as "the man with the shiny bald head." It's no wonder that the KU profs are well-known in such short periods of time, what with adequate descriptions like these.
Graduate Takes New Position
Wesley Gordon, a graduate in journalism in 1935 and former city editor of the Topeka Capital, has resigned his position with the American Red Cross to become publicity director of the Dayton (Ohio) Chamber of Commerce.
