UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE SEVEN
★ Letters to the Editor
Editor-in-chief:
It seems to me that among the few pleasures remaining for us during these times is being able to read the Kansan; it has become a "must" with me, four nights a week. Two points in particular about this year's Kansan are worth mentioning.
First, the staff of the Kansan should be commended on their excellent coverage of foreign and local news. The facts are accurate and written in a concise yet interesting manner. I enjoy the news of "coming events," (and incidentally, such a column in calendar form would certainly be convenient), the frequent feature articles, and of course the regular sport and "gossip" columns. The recent contract with INS is also noteworthy.
Secondly, the editorial page shines above all. With reference to the recent article, December 13, in which the editor and Dean Sims give an excellent first-hand report on conditions in restaurants surrounding the University, the editorial staff places the Kansan in the category of "progressive" newspapers. Articles such as this, and those dealing with the recent MSC "controversy," and the up-to-date news regarding the status of reserves all serve to reveal assuringly that the Kansan is more than a social "rag."
Finally, taking into consideration the adverse weather conditions and shortage of labor, I'd like to comment on the comparatively good delivery service. It is consistent with the fine work being done by the Kansan.
Le Cercle Francais Holds Annual Christmas Party

HOLD JOHNSON--sung by Robert Jenkins, Floyd Krehbiel, and Harry Johnson.
(continued from page one)
16, 1877, at Portsmouth, Ohio. His family later moved to Meriden.
Conn.

He had several poems and prose writings published. While at Yale Mr. Johnson won the Cook Poetry prize in 1905 with a poem entitled, "Ostia." Other poems were published in the Yale Literary magazine, Yale Anthology of Verse and in volumes of Kansas poetry.
Prose writings by Dr. Johnson were book reviews in the Saturday Review of Literature and a volume entitled, "Thomas Carlyle: A Study of His Literary Apprenticeship, 1814-1831."
Organizations Professor Johnson belonged to and offices held were president, University chapter of Phi Beta Kappa; president, Kansas College Teachers of English; Modern Language Association of America; Modern Humanities Research association, American Association of University Professors; Society of Midland Authors; vestry of Trinity Episcopal church; Lawrence Country club; University club; and Fortnightly club.

CONCERT TO RODEO---sung by Robert Jenkins, Floyd Krehbiel, and Harry Johnson.
(continued from page one) spring concert will be played next March."
Lawson Sings "Old Man River"
The program was divided into three parts. The full concert band contributed the first part, high lights of which included the Celtic "Northward March" of Eric Coates, the clashing "Jericho" of Morton Gould, and Louis Alter's "Manhattan Serenade." David T. Lawson, baritone, scored in "Old Man River."
A comedy skit, "Little Brown Jug Goes to Town," was the dramatization of a rehearsal full of many mishaps, missed cues, and wrong entrance. The whole band seemingly has a peeve at Conrad Crocker, and wouldn't let him perform on the niccolo.
Because of illness, Allen Crafton did not appear in two songs of the first world war, but as a compliment to Mr. Crafton, the band played one of these songs, "Over There."
"White Christmas" brought out an unaccompanied alto trumpet solo by Wallace Kunkel, a soprano solo by June Hammett, and "Sister act" harmony by the Misses Hammett, Gerry Shaw, and Barbara Hahn. Scars. Rhodes Twirl Batons
A variation came in the exhibition of electric and fire baton twirling by William Sears and George Rhoades. Sears produced patterns of kaleid-osopic beauty with his electric baton, while Rhoades twirled the fire baton keeping alert through side-stepping of apparent danger.
Mr. Wiley's players next quieted immediately the noisy audience with Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor." "Toccata" is admirably suited to symphonic presentation.
Part three featured the K U Cowboy band, a picked group which has played for rodeos throughout the west and southwest. They gave a sample of the music they presented for these events, a snappy, blue-streak type of music. The boys were garbed in colorful cowboy outfits, and Mr. Wiley wore a tan costume and gave a step-by-step description of the several events of the redeoMr. Lawson had two featured spots in this portion of the bill. He sang "Wagon Wheels," "Empty Saddles," and "My Buddy." Another popular item was "Jingle, Jangle, Jingle,"
Part two consisted of just one item, the depiction of a circus entirely by percussion instruments. The performers responsible were Rod Weltmer, Joe Beeler, Robert Jenkins, Maurice Beardmore, and Melvin Zack.

Representatives Of State Civil Service Interview Applicants
Two members of the state civil service have been on the University campus all day today giving interviews to applicants for clerical positions at the University. All persons being interviewed took the examination on November 28. The civil service members have had their headquarters for the day in Room 6 of Green hall.
Bailey Laboratory Halls Are Renovated
The most recent improvement in the pharmacy and chemistry building, Bailey laboratories, is the complete renovation of all the halls. The walls have been painted pale green and the ceilings white. All staircases and hall floors have been refinished.
On the first floor, the pharmacy and biochemistry dispensing room has been partitioned off for the two departments, and each half of the room has been remodeled.

NOCTURNAL ORDEAL--sung by Robert Jenkins, Floyd Krehbiel, and Harry Johnson.
Types of Hair-Putter-Uppers
The way in which a woman puts up her hair is usually character-revealing. The man-catching, aren't-I-cute kind will spend long minutes, even hours before a mirror carefully screwing each piece of hair in place and noting the geneal effect after each pinning. She often utilizes her time by practicing dimples, smiles, lash-lowerings or -flickerings in the mirror before her.
The busy I - haven't - got - time

- I've - got - to - look - halfway
- decent - tomorrow type will often
place the box of pins within reach
of her desk or chair and go right
on working, occasionally fixing a
curl. This process sometimes covers
an evening, but the loss of time is
negligible.
Beautification Is Not All
Varying shades of personal interest and energy fall between these two extremes. Every hand motion, every look reveals the woman. And blow that it is to masculine ego, woman do not put up their hair exclusively for them. Men might enter into the scheme of things, women preferring to look as good as possible to the men they work with or date, but if all men were transported far beyond the northern sea, as Rachel suggested, women would still put up their hair.
This evening ritual is more than a matter of beautification—it is inextricably tied up with pride, self-confidence, and keeping up with the other woman. Women put up their hair at night and go to bed looking like a Zulu with a hangover, emerging the next day with an immaculate, becoming hair-do. They think it's worth it. And so do men.
BUY WAR STAMPS
The program reached a patriotic climax with the official songs of the army, marines, and navy: "U. S. Field Artillery," "Marine Hymn," "Anchors Aweigh," and finally "America," chanted by Danny Bachmann to an organ-like accompaniment.
No Extra Buses Unless Information Is Complete
Kansan travelers' poll returns are not yet complete enough to warrant requests for additional buses or railroad cars. One hundred per cent cooperation from students intending to use public transportation facilities during Christmas week end must be obtained in the poll before congestion can be relieved to any great extent.
Transportation officials say that if they can have an accurate check of how many students are going home, how they are going, direction of travel $ \textcircled{*} $
WANT ADS
and approximate hour of departure, requests will be made for adequate equipment.
Tomorrow is the last day of the poll. Tear out the coupon or write your travel information on a slip of paper and drop it in boxes provided in the Library, Marvin hall, center Frank Strong, Fraser hall, or the Kansan newsroom. Do it before 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and may all your Christmases be on unblistered feet.
