UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE SEVEN
On the Shin
By BUXTON, MEININGER
A new columnist on the Pittsburg student paper says he hopes to write column comparable to The Shin. See, we got fans!
We have it on fairly good authority that the University, despite courses in the Motion Picture and Equitation, is getting tougher. No less than 500 students were busted out this past semester. As far as we know this is something of a record.
George, the campus constable, has a new role. When the money taken in during fee collection goes to the bank, George goes along, sans uniform. Secret service has come to the State U. Our sheriff dons plain clothes, keeps his head covered so nobody will recognize that stall-tale shine, and watches that money with whistle in mouth.
Which probably isn't such a bad idea after all. If the average fee was $30 (and it's considerably more), at least $20,000 comes into that little office in seven days. Which means that collection must average around $17,000 a day. We've figured on a basis of only 4,000 paying their fees. Seventeen thousand iron men per day is pretty good averaging.
If you carry that a little further you can realize that if $120,000 dollars is collected each semester and each time within seven days the University picks up close to a quarter of a million in 14 days each year. That's probably faster than the majority of huge corporations rake in their chips
Not all coeds are throwing their old man's rocks around carelessly. Witness Alpha Chi Mary Christianson's attempt to get a Red Cross Christmas seal by the postman disguised as a special delivery stamp.
Something of a record: 22 out of 28 Sigma Chi pledges are rumored to have failed to make their grades this semester. Just too many "Sweethearts of Sigma Chi."
Shadow, the dog that has long been an institution at Brick's, should lose some of that sad expression today. Big plans have been taken under advisement to hold a party in Shadow's honor in booth 23. The accent will be on ice cream, the pup's favorite dish, and Bill Lunt will dip.
Bill O'Shea wasn't exactly the life of the party when he slipped and fell under the table at the Pig Dinner the other night. It's a wonder he wasn't cut to ribbons under the special festive board set up in the back of the dining room for the unpleasant element that just will crop up at that type of function. It's often been said that there is more glassware under that special table than on it.
Now comes the rumor that a Pi Phi was married before she pledged. That's what we call having your cake and eating it too.
And Huck Wright practicing with a typewriter and a napkin before going to his Child Care class for the first time. Pretty good, too, but typewriters don't squirm.
Malott To Speak In Kansas City Chancellor Deane W. Malott will be the principal speaker at the Wyandotte high school, Kansas City, Kan., P.T.A. meeting in the school auditorium at 7:45 o'clock tonight.
Haskell Students' Display Of Indian Life Is Colorful
The University's neighbor, Haskell institute, has added another scalp to its belt in the form of a vast display being made to depict the deep philosophy and fascinating life of the Navajo Indian tribes.
Directed by George A. Boyce of the Indian government service, nearly 30 Indians are putting finishing touches to the work. The display will be exhibited at the annual convention of the Progressive Education association in Chicago Feb. 21 to 24.
The theme of the work is to show the resource and cultural differences of regions, according to Boyce.
Denet Susie and Van Tshinahjimh,
both Navajo artists have assisted
Boyce with the display. The mural
painters for the job were: Cecil Murdock,
Kickapoo; Franklin Gritts,
Cherokee; Black Owl, Cheyenne. All three are government employees.
The first room pictures the people in the land of the Navajo. Against walls painted in a desert scene, Indians will be at work grinding corn, making jewelry, or weaving rugs. One of the Navajo's who will demonstrate the Indian method of corn grinding speaks no English, only the Navajo tongue.
Section two will demonstrate Navajo country resources. Murals will illustrate the grass, the desert, and soil wasted by erosion.
Part three by pictures will take the audience through the workings of the Indian mind as contrasted to the
