THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Autumn Beauty Gives Campus New Recognition
"It would be worth being the Chancellor just to look over the valley from his home." An unidentified freshman's comment expressed the sincere feelings every one has had about this Indian summer weather. The autumnal coloring has always inspired poets, nature lovers, and philosophers, but even the most unphilosophical and unromantic citizens have mentioned the weather this fall.
The Hill has attracted admirers of nature during all seasons of every year, but this autumn will be remembered for its beauty as well as "the year that K.U. beat Nebraska." Skeptical Kansans have enjoyed the scenery yet added to words of praise the fear that the pleasant weather would not last. For weeks the beautiful foliage and changing shades of color have been praised in whispers rather than shouts, but the awe-struck admirers will remember when the weather is disagreeable.
The Indian summer weather of October has made up for the dark, gloomy, cold August and other unpleasant climatic conditions in Kansas. "The weather is always talked about," one homey philosopher observed, "but nobody ever does anything about it." Perhaps this is true, but appreciation and enjoyment of beauty does something to the observer. Call it morale, or a "lift," or a psychological reaction, but who is to say that this autumn has not benefited humanity more than is apparent?
The view from the campus has again given Lawrence a name for beauty, and artists as well as commoners have agreed that the view from the Chancellor's residence is unusually beautiful.
Schwitalla Stresses Value of Medicine Before 187 Graduates
The importance of the profession which the medical students are entering was stressed in the address, "This Changing Educational World," given at the 73rd annual commencement exercises Sunday by Dr. A. M. Switalla, dean of the School of Medicine at St. Louis University. He said that, although the training of medical students had been hurried, the services that they will perform are valuable.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott gave a farewell address to the group of 187 graduates and conferred the degrees. Fred M. Harris, representing the Board of Regents, presented the diplomas.
Lt. Col. Watson L. McMorris, professor of military science and tactics, presented the Army commissions; Lt. Arthur H. Buhl, commanding officer of the Navy V-12 unit, presented the Naval commissions; and Capt. John D. Bradley, medical detachment commander, gave the Oath of Office.
The Rev. C. Fosberg Hughes, of the Plymouth Congregational church, gave the benediction. Joseph F. Wilkins, professor of voice, sang a solo, "The Lord's Prayer," and led the hymn at the close of the exercises.
The exercises were opened with Chauvet's processional, "Processal of the Holy Sacrament," played by Laurel Everette Anderson, University organist. The invocation was given by the Rev. Charles W. Thomas, of the First Baptist church.
Forty-seven students were graduated from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; four received their Bachelor of Science degrees in Medicine; and two in Nursing.

Coincidence----
By JOAN HARRIS
Ask any Phi Psi what he happened to be up on to the haunting night of October 31st and he will say that he had a date with a dull book and spent his time at home by the fireside. Curiously, the Pi Phi porch swings mysteriously vanished, the Sig Alph front portals were painted purple, and the Delta Gamma steps assumed the appearance of a pink and white pole in front of a barber shop while the Phi Psis were deep in the exciting pages of chapter six.

Triangles John Sanks and Gabe Parks are the originators of the nations' latest "appetier" (Which, fortunately, is not sweeping the country). The two men of iron insides frequently adjourn to the Epsilon Alpha Tau (EAT) joint down on Tennessee street for a chili a la mode. On special days they indulge in a delicious chili sundae—that's with the ice cream on the bottom. As for the grease in the chili, Sanks says, "Oh, like Ivory, it floats!"
Soon the blonde sophomore entered, turned on the lights which wouldn't go on, then sat down on the bed which made strange noises. At last Saddy resolved to get ready for bed in the dark and she opened the closet door to find her jamers. Who should she meet instead but "spook" dancing in the eerie breeze. Saddy decided that "spook" looked like someone she didn't particularly want to meet and she ran howling down the hall leaving Francie, Marylou and the other spook to entertain themselves as best they could.
Professor's Son Heads Staff at Olathe Air Base
A skeleton came calling at the Theta house last night. He was first discovered sitting in the sun room with a outigie board in his lap, but then he began to get around in a big way. Francie Lawrence and Marylou Regier decided to take him upstairs to introduce him to Saddy Phipps but they didn't find her at home. Not being the bashful type, the partners in crime tiptoed into Saddy's bouoir, carefully removed the light bulbs, tied the spook to the clothes pole in the closet, and joined each other under the bed to await Saddy's homecoming.
A new version of the hot foot has been discovered by a prankster in the South Pacific area as a probable method of treating athlete's foot.
Lt.-Commander Robert Leon Flint, son of Prof. and Mrs. L. N. Flint, has been appointed executive officer of the United States Naval Air station at Oathe. Professor Flint is a faculty member and retired chairman of the department of journalism. Lt.-Commander Flint was graduated from the School of Engineering and Architecture in February, 1936.
Eighteen students were graduated from the School of Engineering and Architecture; seven from the School of Fine Arts; two from the School of Business; and seven from the School of Education.
Led Dive Bomber Squadron
A 30-year old flying veteran of the battle of Tarawa who has seen nine years of active service in the U.S. Naval Reserve, Lt.-Commander Flint has taken over the duties of Commander Carl G. Olson of Chicago, the retiring executive officer who will become staff officer of all Naval air stations in the Central Pacific.
In November, 1943, Lt.-Commander Flint lented his squadron of dive-bombers in blasting Tarawa during the victorious battle in the Gilberts. Previous to his appointment at the Olathe Naval Air Station, he was commanding officer of a carrier aircraft service unit based on the east coast.

After winning his wings in September, 1937, at Pensacola, Fla., and flying for four years with the fleet, he returned to Fairfax airport as a primary flight instructor. He taught cadets until February, 1942.
In the fall of 1942, Naval primary flight training was transferred from Fairax Airport to the newly-built Olathe Naval Air station.
