PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCSE, KANSAS A WEDNESDAY, NOV. 24. THE KANSAN COMMENTS In-attempting to convert the board of regents into a department of public instruction for all educational institutions in Kansas, the state is spreading the group too thinly over a wide field of supervision. The regents would be expected to carry on their present duties with the universities and colleges, in addition to taking on new ones regarding elementary and secondary education in the state. Since the regents have been so close to higher education, they are not in a position to be well acquainted with the problems and needs of primary schools. In their effort to learn about elementary education, the regents might neglect the colleges and universities. Consequently, education in the state would suffer if this plan of the state legislature council is put into effect. KU Might Lose Regents Speak Out Against State Plan Certainly the University of Kansas would not profit by the change. Now greatly concerned with K.U. and with plans to develop it, the board would then feel duty-bound to pay considerable attention to lower education. Too, the personal interest that the regents have shown in this university, although it would not diminish, would nevertheless be buried under the new cares and concerns for elementary and secondary Kansas schools. The legislative council urges this adoption of the regents as the state lay board with broad supervision over the entire educational system to put Kansas education on a higher plane and to make the department function with unity and coordination. The council deplores the lack of coordination existing between the superintendent and the state board of education. ... Regents Oppose Proposition The opposing regents apparently intend to fight the proposal to the floor of the legislature if necessary. The legislative council, if it is wise, will seek to find another way to coordinate and improve the state educational organization, because it will find the drafting of regents a hot potato to handle. However, in the proposed change, there is no assurance that any more coordination will exist between the elected state superintendent and the regents. Several of the regents went on record Saturday opposing the placing of primary schools under their jurisdiction and the abolishing of the state board of education. They frankly realize the proposal would call for more work than they have the time or capacity to accomplish.

UL-FSTD Rock Chalk Talk By MARY MORRILL Life's little disappointments: Clark Henry of the Good Ship V-12 called the Pi Phi house Sunday night and invited one of the sisters to join him in a coke. She said she couldn't because she was in bed with her hair up. Being in a reckless mood, Clark insisted that didn't matter—she could leave it up and they would go somewhere where they wouldn't be seen. Prepared for the worst, Clark entered the Pi Phi house. However, having decided as long as she was going to get up at all she might as well do it right, the date appeared in a black satin dress, and with hair impeccable. Clark admits it was one of the great disappointments of his lifetime. 作，永 ★ Advertising the University: All on account of a frenzied mouse, Mickey Rowsey sat on her desk in the Theta house for two hours Sunday afternoon while Virginia Phipps and Nancy Teichgraeber brandished floor mops, Theta rushees punched each other with excitement, and Mickey's date burned. At the end of the second hour, the mouse finally found his hole and retired, Mickey was coaxed down off the desk, and things settled back to normal—except for the rushees who continued to titter. They seemed to feel that the Chancellor himself assigns mice to sorority houses for Sunday afternoon diversion, and the incident served as a plug for K.U. in their estimations. - * * Ah that it were not in jest: The "Annual Gamma Phi Homecoming Beer Bust—free beer to all" sign which adorned the front of their house Saturday, was, Gamma Phi's announcement, the work of Phi Gam neighbors, and even the thought behind it should be regarded as pure jest. Unfortunately, according to Mother Baldwin, several Homecoming Jayhawkers did not realize this and came in for the party. Accidents Will Happen: As roommates Georgia Wiggins and Persis Snook prepared to leave for meetings, Joy Miller lay down on the floor, threw a blanket over herself and announced she was going to take a short nap. The heap was still on the floor when Georgia returned, and remembering Joy had work to do, she yanked on the cover. The act of violence revealed only a stack of pillows with Miller slippers at the bottom and the Miller eye mask and flower at the top. Georgia replaced the debris and let Persis go through the same procedure when she arrived. Only Persis pulled off a bed room slipper first and put in several remorseful minutes before realizing she didn't really relieved her roommate of a foot. *** The Kansan Wishes You a Happy Thanksgiving Day Miss Marion C.
