THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Senate Takes Up Juvenile Problems
Juvenile delinquency, one of the biggest problems on the home front, is at last being given a much-needed investigation by the government. Conscious that juvenile delinquency is threatening to retard the war effort and break down morale on the home front, the sixman senate sub-committee is prepared to devote funds and concentrate activity to cope with the problems.
It is amazing that such a move has not been made before. Fathers overseas and working mothers, or families with both parents working have created a situation where thousands of children are left during the day without any normal home supervision. This is especially true in the congested war areas.
The chief of the children's bureau of the Department of Labor has at last discovered that the drain on manpower resources has also led to the employment of boys and girls in what she terms "unwholesome surroundings." In Lawrence alone, many children under 12 years of age do the work of grown-ups, work that requires them to stay at their job until long after midnight, civic authorities have declared.
Europe has its hungry, aged children who have known neither youth nor freedom from fear of death at any moment, but the United States has its own peculiar kind of abnormal childhoods—that of children left alone at home or on the streets to fend for themselves while their parents work. Small michiels done for amusement lead to bigger ones, and the child is soon off on a pastime of crime which will make him a menace to society.
Multiply such cases by all those happening over the country and the results are not only appalling but an actual challenge to the government as well as the parents. The government is now responding. Have the parents done as much?
Juvenile delinquency must be stamped out through the home. The government can appropriate, legislate, and set up bureaus until eternity and accomplish very little if the parents will not cooperate or make an effort on behalf of their own children. Parents resent outside interference in the lives of their children, but if they will not take the responsibility of giving their own offspring normal lives, the government has to step in.

What a happy ordeal: It is rumored that the only time Metz Wright, Beta, was at a loss for words was the night he put out his pin to Shirley Rauch and "went down the line" at the Gamma Phi house. He emerged in a cold sweat and was recognizable only after an inch of "warpaint" had been removed from his face. He regained full consciousness after the loving cup had been passed around by brothers in the bond sometime later.
Money drives a man to drink—and other things: Down to his last penny, Ivan "Skavinski Skavar" Cherry, one of the PT8 boys, gathered his chums around and wagered small sums of money that he could eat anything they gave him. Which brought on drinking glasses, light bulbs, and razor blades. While they watched with extreme astonishment, Ivan carefully chewed the glass and light bulb into little pieces, swallowed them, polished off the razor blade, and departed, well-heeled. To explain this phenomenon, our hero is a believe-it-or-not character who used to do it professionally.

BILL NO.13
A Bill on the All Student Council Book Exchange
groups of fraternity men, soldiers, and sailors lustily serenaded the sororities and organized houses. As the night progressed, the serenades also progressed, from the "front door" variety to the "shtop, r can't remember that damn song." kind.

Be it enacted by the Associated Students of the University of Kansas;
Miss Fortune: The gal who claims the song, "Everything Happens to Me" is Kappa freshman, Gloria Gray. Her friends are seriously considering handcuffing her to her bed lest she really seriously injure herself. About a month ago, there was a slip twixt the knife and the thumb while preparing bugs for entomology. It proved by actual experiment that she had a quantity of red blood, and six stitches were taken to sew up said finger. Sometimes later, Gloria got a cramp in her leg, which worried 10 pledges and as many actives for an hour before they relieved the situation by lifting her (as one would lift a plank) and dumped her into a tub of hot water. The latest also involves a limb (of a different sort) and a horse erroneously named Lady Luck. The limb was just high enough off the ground to hit her in the eye as she rode under. That should have necessitated a respite from studying for several days, but didn't.
Sec. 2. That the ASC Book Exchange shall be under the supervision and regulation of the Auditing Committee of the All Student Council.
Sec. 1. That the Women's Self-Governing Association Book Exchange be transferred to the jurisdiction of the All Student Council and be called the ASC Book Exchange.
Sec. 3. That the Auditing Committee shall choose each spring two faculty members plus the present Book Exchange manager to sit with the Auditing Committee as a Book Exchange Board to select the manager for the forthcoming school year.
Sec. 4. That said manager shall be a woman chosen upon the basis of initiative and ability. That the Board shall meet and interview all candidates and shall obtain references from at least three sources to include one past employer, if possible. The present manager shall submit at least two recommendations to the Board for the position of manager.
Sec. 6. That the Board may authorize the manager to hire such additional help as may be needed, their salary to be fixed by the Board.
Sec. 5. That the salary of the manager shall be forty dollars ($40) per month.
Sec. 7. That the policy of the Book Exchange manager shall be to allow only such profit to accrue to the Exchange as to pay all expenses and maintain a reasonable balance for new purchases.
Sec. 8. That a permanent reserve fund be maintained in the name of the All Student Council Book Exchange into which fund shall go all profits of the ASC Book Exchange over and above a reasonable amount to be maintained as an operating fund, said amount to be determined by the Auditing Committee. That this reserve fund shall be used for the purpose of establishing a cooperative book store.
Sec. 9. That this bill shall be in full force and effect from and after its publication according to the Bill on Legislative Procedure.
Passed Nov. 30, 1943.
