THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Inter-Sorority Song Contests Not Forgetten
Fraternity serenades and inter-
soriority song contests only a few
years ago held a prominent place in
the college life on Mt. Oread. Al-
though it was voted to discontinue
these song-fests for the duration,
Jayhawkers do not want the tradi-
tion to be forgotten and permitted
to die out.
The last one of these song-contests was held three years ago this coming spring and Kappa Kappa Gamma was tjudged the winner. At the annual spring festival, each sorority sang three songs—one popular or semi-classical, one sorority or fraternity song, and the "Crimson and the Blue."
Members of the Fine Arts faculty served as judges, with Prof. Joseph Wilkins or Dean D. M. Swarthout usually introducing the song leader of each sorority as they appeared to take their turn. A silver trophy in the form of a loving cup was awarded to the group with the finest singing ability; the second place winner received a silver tray, while honorable mention went to the third place winner.
Preceding the festival, sororites "practiced up" on their songs by serenading the various fraternity houses on the Hill, who, in turn, appeared beneath the sororities' dormitory windows a few nights later with a well-trained male chorus.
When the University adopted the speeded-up war-time schedule, however, representatives from each of the houses voted to discontinue the custom for the duration of the war as the students no longer had the time to spend on long hours of practice evening after evening as they formerly did.
It is hoped that this tradition will not be forgotten in the intervening years as such serenades and intersorority contests constitute one of the most enjoyable parts of college life, according to the older members of these organizations.

To the Editor:
In reply to the letter addressed to us by "A Disgusted Co-Ed."
We would like to address this to "The Perfect Co-Ed." We wish that they would understand that this army isn't running a school for a bunch of playboys. We admit that some of us do go around in a somewhat unimilitary manner but please look around at some of the civilians. The ASTRP's have a personal inspection once a week which some of the civilians would benefit greatly by if they also had to pass it.
In our estimation, an accumulation of dirt under the finger-nails is no worse than messy finger-nails with peeling polish and a variety of colors. We also have a few objections to the type of clothes that some of the Co-Eds wear. A very disgusting sight is to see a group of girls dressed in overalls with their hair tied in pigtails and blowing every which-way. Sloppy skirts and sweaters aren't to be complimented, either.
We would also like to have other students examine our curricula and compare it with their own; compare the amount of time spent for study with ours. Two hours of supervised
In regard to our wearing apparel, we were issued two winter uniforms and it takes from one to two weeks to have them cleaned.
Rock Chalk Talk
By PAT PENNEY
Duke D'Ambra, local photographer, went up to the Kappa house after the game Saturday in search of Granny Riegle, Phi Gam and star superb of the Cornhusker tussle, on the orders of the AP. Granny was there (naturally), chatting with Marty Metcalf, and Mr. D'Ambra, seeing his big chance to work the romantic element into his picture assignment, begged and pleaded with tears in his eyes to get Marty to let him snap a picture of her rewarding Granny with a post-game, congratulatory kiss.
Granny was willing (naturally), and we might add, quite anxious, too, but Marty put her foot down—and hard! So Duke took the picture minus the kiss and plus a demure and platonic hand-shake. And the sad thing is, that it was Granny's last game, too!
Did We Beat Nebraska!
Started screams literally pierced the night, as Sara Jayne Scott and Lou Schwartz, Pi Phi pledges, dashed into active Jean Saffell's room, gasping, "There's someone outside our window!" Jean walked calmly over to her dresser, carefully applied lipstick, ran a brush through her hair, then turned and leeringly inquired, "Well, where are they?" What?
Mike "Irish" Kuklenski of K.C. pride of the Phi Delt pledge class, proudly entered the Mite Friday night with a date on each arm, Mike, minus a date at 9:30, found himself running back and forth from blonde to brunette, both of whom had come up from Kansas City to see him. We'd say it it was rather a confusing evening.
Charlie Moffett, better known as "Magic" (a la Ames, Iowa, radio commentator), was making a valiant effort to keep things quiet the other night on the Kappa front, but found himself in hotter water than usual. Charlie, while awaiting his date, overheard the Kappas beaming

the fact that they had so many Homecoming guests and that they still had the high school debaters coming to complicate things.
When the doorbell rang, and our Boy Charlie answered, he saw strange faces, and, jumping to conclusions, he refused to let them in; that is, until someone informed our well-intentioned friend that these were not the debaters but Kappas from the Nebraska chapter. Charlie's face wasn't very red.
The song?—it ran something like his:

Gene Kittle, Phi Psi, was somewhat embarrassed on the train back to Lawrence, from Wich where he and Peg Sanderson went to see Harry James. Gene had to sit by a woman with a child who persisted in throwing his arms around Kit and gurgling "Daddy" every few minutes. And across the aisle, Peg sat with a soldier whom the candy man referred to as her husband. "Ain't ya' gonna buy nuttin' fer yer wife, bud?" the vendor asked.

Fifty students were featured in a "Football Frolics" show at Louisiana State University last week preceding the LSU-Texas A.&M. game.
LSU Features Football Frolic
One of the most successful pep rallies in the recent history of K.U. last Friday night demonstrated that co-operation of the entire student body can produce results that are truly amazing.
Pep Rally-Possible Incentive For Victory Over Nebraska
An exceptionally large percentage of students joined in this well-organized celebration and the general opinion is that all present had "the time of their lives." No damage or injuries of any extent were reported and that proves that it is possible to have fun safely and sanely.
And who knows—maybe the incentive which drove our football team on to a 20-0 victory the next day was gained from this very rally when the students showed they were behind their team.
Physics Professors Change
Dr. L. N. Liebermann, assistant professor of physics, has been granted a year's leave of absence to do war research work.
C. H. Long, now an instructor in the department of physics, will teach in the department of electrical engineering beginning Nov. 1.
