KANSAN COMMENTS
Kansas Beauty Is Insulted By Texas Male
Appearing in the October 2 issue of Life magazine is a "Letter to the Editors" written by a Texan who is apparently being "compelled' to reside in Lawrence.
This young man, in commenting on Life's recent photographic survey in which several debutantes from Dallas were judged to be more beautiful than girls from other sections of the country, offered a further insult to feminine pulchritude in this state by saying that he was "grateful to see the pictures of some beautiful girls after having to look at these corned Kansans here for six months."
what we want to know is—what is wrong with being cornfed? Don't they eat corn in Texas? More than one Kansas girl has reached the top in the modeling profession or has achieved a stage or screen career on her good looks. Most men evidently don't find them so repulsive, either, judging from the marriage rate which is considerably higher than in some eastern states where "old maids" seem to abound.
If David Borst, the letter-writing Texasphile doesn't appreciate the local beauties, he can go back to his wonderful Texas until he's ready to join the Union, as far as we're concerned. How about this. K.U. coeds? Are you going to let a "foreigner" get away with such remarks?
Lt. Bradley Receives Air Medal for Service
2nd Lt. Jack R. Bradley, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Bradley, Litchfield, Ariz., a 15th AAF P-51 Mustang fighter pilot, has been awarded the Air Medal for meritorious achievement in aerial flight.
Lt. Bradley left the States for foreign duty in August and was assigned to a veteran Mustang fighter group which has the outstanding record of having destroyed 452 enemy planes in aerial combat on 300 missions. He has completed five successful strafing and high altitude heavy bomber escort mismissions over Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Austria, and is credited with the destruction of a German fighter plane while participating in a strafing mission on the Beka airdrone in Hungary.
Lt. Bradley was enrolled at the University at the time he entered the service. He was awarded his pilot's wings at Eagle Pass, Texas, on March 12.
Arthur Nelson Enters Navy
Arthur Nelson, a graduate of the University, has left after visiting his parents and friends, for Plattsburg, N.Y., where he will be indoctrinated as an ensign. Since his graduation from the University he has been working in the radiation laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology doing secret atomic research.
Letter to the Editor
to the Editor of the Daily Kansan: Hurray for "The Defender!" He's got the word! "Them's my sentiments," and the sentiments of every other red-and-blue blooded Jayhawker at K.U.
Editor's Note: All "Letters to the Editor" must be signed. The name will be withheld from publication upon request, but the editor must know who wrote it.
A Heavily-Lipsticked Sorority Sister.
Ed. Note: The letter from "The defender" appeared in last Thursday's issue of the Daily Kansan, upholding the University's tradition of having freshmen wear caps.

Winning Posters Shown In Thayer Art Display
Hotel Eldridge Lawrence, Kansas
Winning posters in the 19th annual Latham Foundation Victory Foster contest are on display this month at Thayer art museum. The contest, open to high school and college students in this country, awarded scholarships in 17 leading art schools to winning contestants.
Variations in subject matter, color effects, designs, and slogans were developed in the posters. A similar exhibition was shown at Thayer museum last October. Posters featuring novel patriotic themes constitute the display.
LAWSON SPEAKS - as his little playmate, however—he didn't show up at all. He lost all the money he had made shooting cramps by hiring a taxi to "fly" him to the next village where the train stopped, in order to join the gang. It was the sites of historical significance to tourists which delayed the boys, no doubt.

A full appreciation of the common things of life, and the ability to remain tolerant are, in the Dean's opinion, indispensable parts of real learning.
"An educated person has learned to believe in his fellow men. He realizes there are plenty of things wrong, but at the same time, there is much that is right in this world. He has the right attitudes about life, and continually strives to do the correct thing."
Attendance at the convocation was somewhat dampened by rainy weather. Preceding Dean Lawson's address, the University band, directed by Russell L. Wiley, played two numbers. Prof. Joseph Wilkins led the audience in singing the "Crimson and the Blue," at the end of convocation. The famous rock chalk yell was led by Jim Conard, head cheerleader.
Stringfellow Barr will still address the faculty at 4 p.m. today in Fraser theater, Chancellor Malott announced. His topic will be "Academic Business As Usual." The meeting is open to the public, Malott said.

The "Beta Butch," otherwise known as the "Royal Beta Buggy," no longer sits neglected at the bottom on Edgehill. Sigma Kappa pledges grew peeved at their brethern who had obviously parked the limowsine in the SK front yard for the duration, so, they rolled up their sleeves and adjourned to the scene of the crime.

Memories — It's probably a good thing that the Nebraska game is going to be played off in our own backyard this year because the last time the Huskers and the Jayhawkers got their heads together in Omaha the latter found that they simply loved the place. Charlie Moffett barely made the Lawrence-bound choo-choo. He showed up two minutes after the train had pulled out and resorted to running down the track waving his heroic arms and yelling "Stop—STOP" at the top of his heroic lungs. He finally caught up with the last car and leaped aboard just before it picked up speed.

With fingernail polish, they painted epitaphs on the fuselage, then pushed the tin cup up the hill. At the top, everyone piled in for a beautiful ride down the other side, and then there came the man with the real, honest-engine car who pushed them up in front of the chem building. There the SK's nonchalantly disembarked to leave the pride "of Beta Theta Pie" in all its fingernail-polish-painted glory.
PT-7 joined them in their ulterior designs while PT-8 approved from their windows in loud whispers. Bueth was sent rolling down to the foot of the Battenfeld steps where it remained 'til approximately 8:30 the next morning. Now no one knows whither it hath gone or how it could have gotten there without a battery—least of all the Sigmas or Betas.
Big Bergin was not so fortunate
Some good sport immediately gave the Betsa a buzz and within 15 minutes, there was Butch, sitting serenely in front of the Beta barn. The Sigmas bided their time 'til sundown; then, when the Beta house was darkened and deserted, they tiptoed down the street with the intention of getting intimate with Butchy again.

Poor boy—An enthusiastic pledge, explaining the SAE raid on the Chi O house:
"Ten crawled up to the front door, 10 crawled around to the back door. 20 were on the firse escape—and there I was—locked in a bedroom with that blonde."
***
Pandora and the salty suitcase—Following a short sojourn in the City Hank Waller, PT-8, intrusted his suitcase to Martha Neuer, since she was going by train and he, the way of all good hitch-hikers. She beat him by a couple of hours and found herself with plenty of time to wonder what the suitcase contained. At last, not at all discouraged by her Alpha Chi sisters, she opened the forbidden box and therein she found boxer's teeth protectors, an assortment of sox and ties, and a complete library of little black books with rather interesting comments concerning his feminine acquaintances.
The phone rang when she was in the midst of her dirty work—'twas Hank, who announced that he was lonesome without his suitcase and would be right over. In alarm, Marty hurriedly replaced every little thing

First to have new sweet corn in the faculty gardens this year, Prof. Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the department of journalism, will have peas from a crop this weekend along with many other springtime vegetables.
in the disorder in which she remembered them to have been and slammed the lid shut.
Then she glanced down and saw a clipping from the Daily Kansan, listing those who had made the honor roll. She did not remember having saved that herself but she also did not remember having seen it amongst Hank's belongings. Finally she decided to leave it out, since it somehow did not seem to fit in with the environment of the suitcase. Who knows!

Have a "Coke" = Welcome back
... or giving a returned soldier a taste of home
There's an easy way to make a soldier on footlaugh feel right at home. It's to offer him refreshing Coca-Cola. Have a "Coke" is always the hospitable thing to say. In many lands overseas, as in your own living room, Coca-Cola stands for the future that refreshes, has become a happy symbol of hospitality, at home as everywhere else.
