Letters to the Editor
To: EDITOR, UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN.
Since vacations have been cut or done away with entirely, I have been wondering what I can do to help student morale. From various articles in the KANSAN, and from letters from friends, I gather that the situation is getting critical. Being and aged veteran of three months and having various and sundry experiences in problems in morale, I have a suggestion to make.
Suggestion: That you get up at 5:00 A.M. every morning, dash down to the next block for a shower and a shave, if necessary, (women weren't shaving the last time I saw one) back to the room, dress in two minutes (as most of you do) fall out for thirty minutes of exercise, sweep your floor, make your bed, etc. eat breakfast, and then clean up the yard. You are probably wondering by now just how this is going to help your morale. Well, I think that after one week of this, you'll be so glad to go back to the old routine that you'll eat your breakfast in bed, in the usual manner, get up at 8:15 (if you are so unfortunate as to have an 8:30) and go about your business as usual, with never another gripe.
Seriously though, the morale here is very high and the football team couldn't help but win if they were backed up by the kind of enthusiasm that we have here. If we can awake each morning wondering if we'll get ordered to combat that day, never knowing and always wondering, enduring that nerve-wracking uncertainty, being constantly reminded that we're "playing for keeps"—if we can stand that and still keep the morale at the ultimate, then I think you could at least endure where the worst thing that you have to face is some prof. in need of a dose of well-known liver medicine.

Five Undefeated Teams Lead Intramural Race
By a lean score of 2 to 0 the Tennessee Club six-man intramural football team was edged out by the Jayhawk Co-op gridsters in Saturday's top attraction.
The Hawks cashed in on their defensive talent which shined much brighter than their offense when Brazier broke through the Tennessee line to score a safety. The defense of the losers looked good and it was a battle for defensive supremacy.
Alpha Chi Sigma showed power in their six-man fray Saturday to triumph over the Ramblers 13-0. Walter Krattlie raked in all of the Alpha Chi Sigma scores, assisted by the keen pasing of Carl Sutton.
The Bullfrogs forfieted their game to Battenfield.
In Friday night's battle between Pflugerville and Sigma Phi Epsilon, the latter came out victorious to a 19-6 tune. The game was comparatively smooth with Pflugerville giving the determined Sig Ep lads little trouble.
More than 200 persons attended the vesper organ recital of Laurel Everette Anderson, university organist and professor of organ, Sunday in Hoch auditorium.

WSGA Election Tea Tomorrow
BY LUCILLE KADEL
WGSA Election Tea Tomorrow
A freshman election tea will be given tomorrow from 3:30 to 5 p. m. in the men's lounge of the Memorial Union building, Marybelle Long, W. S. G. A. social chairman, announced today.
The famous Thames series of etchings by James McNeill Whistler is now on exhibition in the north gallery of Spooner-Thayer museum, with 25 etchings of other artists. Although one usually thinks of the "Study in Black and White" or "Whistler's Mother" in connection with the artist, Whistler is equally famous for his etchings. The "Black Lion Wharf," "Thames Police," and "Whiteley and Co," portray life and atmosphere of the Thames river area.
Not only in drawing was he particular, but also chose his inks with great concern. He was so particular in this respect that he made one of the black inks from dregs of port wine.
Whistler became known publicly, in the field of etching, chiefly through this Thames series done in 1859. He was only 25 years old when he began this particular group. In minute detail and with spirit, Whistler recorded the barges, the idlers, the workers, the warehouses, and dock taverns.
All of these etchings were bought by Mrs. William Thayer, dedicator of Spooner-Thayer museum.
Also included in the exhibit is an etching by Seynour Hayden, a brother-in-law of Whistler. Rembrandt is represented by "The Alms Givers," created in 1648. Other artists are Meryon, Cameron, Durer, and Moran.
