Co-Eds Drop Sophistication Comfort Over Glamor
By MARY MORRILL
So this year's crop of freshmen was to be different? Not the usual combination of skirt, sweater, and nature-take-her-course hair; something new, something which floated in an aura of glamour, passing out A recitations and civilian morale! Seasoned Jayhawkers sneered at the idea, but nevertheless they worried.
All summer, the atmosphere surrounding Mt. Oread's peak was charged with anxiety. doubt and suspicion concerning Miss co-ed of fall '42. It remained charged until approximately Sept. 22. At that point rain fell from the Kansas skies, veteran Jayhawkers uncrossed their toes and fingers and mid-west fashion authorities crept back into their shells. (The actions were simultaneous.)
The why-for runs as follows: Upon the advent of damp weather impeccably groomed coeds abandoned their first impression finery and denned revesibles. The reversibles were mussed up, very mussed up, Jayhawkers told fashion authorities who had advocated the serious and sophisticated co-ed to go to. As any fool could plainly see, KU gals were going to be their comfortable old selves this year per usual. And that was that.
Per usual the Jayhawkers were right. Skirts, sweaters, saddles and moccasins are again law. No broom stick back uniforms or matronly frocks for Mt. Oread women, war or no war. Co-eds here will do their bits in ordinary college array and the nation will be so much the better.
But don't take it from this that campus fashion for the current year is a steriotyped reproduction of the 1841 fads. The influx of new students brings a myriad of bang-up odds and ends.
One innovation which crept out of the closet for good that first rainy day is the jeep hat. A crumpled up specimen of millinery, the jeep hat doesn't exactly shed water, but it is heartily recommended for whenever the sun isn't out.
If your roommate's up and coming she'll be wearing a heavy gold or silver chain with sweaters. Be sure to borrow this chain. It's tops in campus trinkets. If said notion has a heavy bracelet to match, so much the better. You can borrow that, too.
Then there are those ever popular odds and ends. Such as: large velvetene bows in one's hair, lapel pins on sleeves instead of lapels, brothers plaid stockings, ear rings, and so on down the variety counter.
JAYHAWKS TRY—

sophomores, and one freshman will probably make up the start lineup for the Pioneers tonight. One of the seniors, big Don Carlson, was chosen as an all-Big Seven tackle last fall, and is expected to cause the Kansas forwards no end of trouble.
Kansas Heavier
Should the injured Kansans be able to start, the Jayhawks will carry both a weight and experience advantage into the game. The Kansas line would average 200 pounds, while the Denver forwards average 189 pounds. The Kansas backs average 185 pounds and the opposing backs tip the scales at an average of 175 pounds.
Experienced lettermen will start in six of the seven line positions. Holding down the center post, however, will be the sensational freshman, Joe Cribari, who last fall was an all-state Colorado choice while at Salida High School.
Four experienced men are likely to be given the starting call in the Pioneer backfield. They will be headed by Howie Schechtel, 164-pound scooter, who whips a mean pass with his left hand.
Frosh May Star
Expected to enter the Denver line up early in the game, however, are two sensational freshman backs who already this year have given Pioneet opposition plenty of headaches. The rookie backs are Jack Gittin and Tom Saracino. Both were given all-state ratings during their high school careers, and both men are dangerous passers as well as hard runners.
Last week, before bowing to the Iowa State Cyclones, the Pioneers pushed their rivals all over the field in the first half of the game. A brilliant last half Iowa State rally, led by Royal Lohry, spelled defeat however for the Big Seven aggregation. Iaithawks Back Saturday

GRAD WARNS—
(continued from page one) equipment was added, until we were doing all of these loaded with full equipment. The obstacle courses were very much like the ones you have here at KU. These fellows ought to take a couple of hours of conditioning every day to get in shape."
About discipline, Kanaga says, "I learned early to keep my mouth shut. We have to shine our shoes about five times a day. One sergeant found a boy who didn't have his shined, and when he looked at mine I said 'I've got mine shinned up pretty good.' I think this irritated him, because he said they didn't look too good to him, and I was given two hours of heavy marching orders just for mouthing off.
Sergeants are Tough
"Another time I was sent around the field (a half mile) in double time because I looked down the line one morning after we had been drilling for several hours. One time we stood at attention for 45 minutes, and during that time I looked down once and up again, and spent three hours copying the rules on how to stand at attention. I had to sleep with my rifle for two nights, and one fellow had to carry his rifle with him everywhere for a whole week because he didn't have it cleaned properly.
"Another time the sergeant came down the line and noticed one fellow with a shirt pocket unbuttoned. The guy had to take the button off, sew it on a towel, take it to the sergeant who tice it off the towel and told the fellow to sew it on is shirt again, and repeat the process ten times.

Marine Always Busy
"We are always kept busy. The place is kept spic and span, cleaner than a hospital. We never have time
to do much else—about an hour during the day to glance at the papers or write letters. When you get away you really appreciate and enjoy the letters from home. Sometimes on weekends7 we can catch up with the news, but that is the only time."
About future training Kanaga says, "We do not feel we are in as good shape yet as we want to be. We want to be able to do double time all day long, and we probably will be by the time we push off."
Kanaga is a former Kansan sports editor, Ku Ku, and was chairman of the Kansas Relays committee last spring.
NEW RESIDENCE-
(continued from page one) when he came here as a professor of English.
Early in the fall of 1899 a vacancy in the department of English at the University was reported to Princeton's five graduate students in English. Four of them considered Kansas as too far west and the dangers from Indians too great. When the others declined, Hopkins came with the instructions that if he did not like Kansas he could return to the East.
Graduates Feared Indians
Hopkin's contributions to the University during in his 48 years of teaching in many and various fields. In athletic activities he helped to organize the first football team. When he came to Lawrence, football had never been played at the University. In 1890 groups of students chose sides and played so-called football with Baker and Kansas City YMCA. At the end of the season it was decided to organize an athletic association and have an official football team. Hopkin Managed Team

coach of the new team. The University went through the season without a defeat. In 1892 the team journeyed to Denver, where it won a 20-6 victory over the Denver Athletic Club. Hopkins was also one of the group who organized the Inter-state Football Association. This organization developed into what was later known as the Missouri Valley Conference.
Professor Hopkins work in the English department included substituting contests in debate for the traditional oratorical contest and the establishment of courses in journalism. Through his endeavors, both speech and journalism were established in independent departments.
Founded Teachers Association
Hopkins founded the Kansas Association of Teachers of English, and established the Kansas English Bulletin, of which he was editor and publisher for five years. Later he helped with the organization of the Association of Kansas College Teachers of English.
In 1900 Hopkins was the god-father of a literary organization of college students. This organization, the American College Quill Club, became a national society in 1914 with branches extending at the present time from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He also named and helped with the christening of the Rhadamanthi Society of the University.
Was Popular Lecturer
Hopkins has given educational addresses in ten states besides Kansas. He was one of the first lecturers on the subjects of American literature and literary criticism when extension work was introduced at the University.
A member of Phi Beta Kappa, he was also a charter member of the American Association of University Professors, a member of the Modern Language Association, and of the

Freshman May Volunteer
Upper classmen cannot take part in the plan without consultation with federal officials because of the fact that the University is cooperating with the government in speeding up training of men who have enlisted in reserve groups, and many of these men are now attending school on deferments.
"At the present time it appears that the freshmen would form the likely volunteer relief labor pool," said Chancellor Malott, "because the majority of them have not enlisted in the navy or marine reserve."
Wayne Replogle, head freshman coach, and Dr. Forrest C. Allen, basketball coach and head of the department of physical education, approved the proposal as a good conditioner.
