Kansan Comment
The Star Comments On Smoking Jayhawks
A cloud somewhat bigger than a man's hand ha sapposed on the horizon for the new chancellor of the University of Kansas, and it's no rain cloud. Neither is it a tornado cloud. It's somewhere betwixt and between—a cloud of tobacco smoke, to be specific, exhaled from the lips of pipe and cigarette smoking students in the halls of learning on Mount Oread.
The first real issue in the new chancellor's administration is over whether or not students shall continue to be permitted to puff the pleasant flag. It's no malice novel. Chancellor Malott hastens to explain—it's an effort to clean up the appearance of the university buildings and eliminate fire hazards.
That ought to be an appeal which would stir the heart even of the most case-hardened sophomore—but tradition is a tough hazard to surmount, as the new chancellor is finding. For years K.U. students have smoked in the college buildings, with three exceptions. The engineering school has long enforced a non-smoking rule in its hall; smoking in the chemistry building is prohibited because of obvious danger due to inflammatory gases; and the students themselves have refrained from smoking in Fraser hall because it is a fire hazard.
Elsewhere the cigarette and the pipe, and occasionally even the cigar have been seen in open abandon. Other state schools are under a smoking prohibition, but the Jayhawkers say tradition establishes their exemption.
There is a division of opinion among the students. In spite of Chancellor Malott's personal popularity he is finding opposition to his proposal. Those congenial rebels, the law students, lead the revolt. Sachem, a men's honor society; also is fighting it. On the other hand, five organizations have given the chancellor votes of confidence by indorsing the ban.
The sky won't on Mount Oread if smoking is banned in the buildings. After all there are plenty of other places for smoking. So we're betting that the chancellor's obviously logical position and his well known way with the students will win. And Kansas university, like Kansas State and the teachers' colleges will no longer lift a smoke screen before the doors of its class rooms.-The Kansas City Star.
Co-eds Search For Beauty
Modern Co-eds concentrate on their powder-puffs and lipsticks for the benefit of professors and Joe College. Feminine collegates are only following in the foot-steps of their older cosmetic-conscious sisters, for American women spend $500,000,000 each year for beauty. Approximately $200,000,000 of this total is received by 78,624 beauty shops, more than half goes for coiffures according to Miss Frances Martell, secretary of the American Cosmetics Association.
The old saying, "Vanity, thy name is woman" seems to be verified by the half-billion dollar annual expenditure of American women. University women spend from eighteen to one hundred dollars a year for cosmetics, hair-do's, manicures, and other intricacies. The range in amount spent depends upon the income bracket and the natural equipment of the beauty-seekers.
The fact that the beauty trade is the sixth largest industry in the United States shows that so-called non-essentials have elbowed their way into the profit markets. Beauty and Fashions compete with the heavy industries, Steel and Oil, for the investor's dollar. If this is indicative of a trend it is a problem for some psychologist to analyze.
College girls are the best dressed and best groomed group of women to be found anywhere, they combine casualness with appropriateness in ward-robe and make-up. Criticism cannot weaken the hold of the beauty business on American women, co-eds included. If the weekly trip to the beauty shop and a collection of lipsticks brightens the educational picture as well as magazine advertisements, we're in favor of the search for beauty.

Turkeys Take Triple Beating
Surrounding states will celebrate Thanksgiving on different dates this year. Some are celebrating with President Roosevelt on November 23, and others are celebrating on the traditional last Thursday in November. Colorado, however, is going to compromise and celebrate on three dates.
Residents of Colorado must have much to be thankful for this particular year. Governor Ralph L. Carr has announced that there will be three official "turkey days" this fall: November 23, proclaimed by President Roosevelt; November 30, the traditional day for Thanksgiving; and October 18, a promotion day event. Evi
dently the governor is trying to make everyone happy.
Kansas is sticking to November 30 for her day of thanksgiving and Missouri is celebrating on the twenty-fifth. Such a schedule upset the annual grudge-battle between Missouri and Kansas Universities, as a result students who wish to celebrate a Republican Thanksgiving will have to hurry back to Lawrence for the game.
Roosevelt began the Thanksgiving mix-up stating that business would be happy about the change. Governors of various political complexion decided when their citizens would eat cranberry sauce, football schedule-makers tore their hair. As November comes closer, only theoor turkey fails to see the silver lining in the break in tradition.

Handball Courts
To The Editor:
Four handball courts were razed last summer and with them went a curtailed intramural handball program and a minimizing of play for the surprisingly numerous handball enthusiasts the Hill over.
Four courts are left and these are in mediocre condition to say the least. K.U. has a great many handball lovers who play to year round and eight courts, good courts are not too many to ask of the Athletic department.
Four new courts can be built and the old ones repaired for about $800. Is this too much to ask for furnishing desired recreation and competitive sport for a large number of students over a long period of years?
Pen Rallies
To The Editor:
Our 10:30 pep rallies on Friday morning are becoming less peppy as the weeks go by. It seems that too many of the students must hurry to their next classes and just pass the rally by. These gatherings are an important part of college life. Rallies allow the students to express their energy, encourage the team, and promote school spirit.
It would seem that they are worth a little more recognition from the administration. If 15 minutes were allowed, the cheerleaders could cheerleaders an opportunity to put on a worthwhile pre program, and the students would have time to attend.

Roving Reporter Asks How Not To Grow Old
Struggleging under a spell of melaninholia induced by two quizzes for Friday morning, your Inquiring Reporter moped about the Campus asking this question: If you were to die, how would you prefer to die?
George Crowl, c'41, said, "I prefer to drown, since it requires little excretion." Lucas Parek, c'40, also preferred sinking in water.
George Powers, 'c41, cheerfully said, "Tid' prefer to jump off a place high enough that it would do the trick, but not so high that I could have time to think too much while falling."
Bruce Zink, c'40, said, "Td like to die of heart failures—nudely, with no warning" Irine Nea, c'41, said, "Irine Nea is the one station bering if she had to die today."
E. C. Haines and Bill Vickers both said they'd prefer to "take off" with carbon monoxide. Olivia Cole, c41, wasn't so sure. "Tid'er prefer carbon dioxide gas. It's painless and gives me time to change my mind."
Owler Jim Robertson came up with this quip: "War fascinates me. If I have to die young, I'd just as soon die in a win." Date Henkon-ku was messed in his usual cheerful manner "I just want to die hammy."
A. Zbrane, c'40, said "I would like to be taken for a ride in a ferry chair!" I wander if he means a paroline buggy! L. E. Bell, c'40, "I would like to do from a gun, but it makes so much noise."
Mary Madge Kirly, c'40, was an other who wanted to die locally. "I would prefer my heart just to stop bleeding and make me jobs of trouble," she said.
With malice toward none, George Sitterly answered the question thusly: "Td like to die on Friday
Your reporter isn't a bit particular. Right now, he'd like to acquire that disease that turns bodies into stone. Then his remains could stand up in some Hall hillway, 'with this inscription written on his left tocap: "Here stuns a martyr to Friday quizzes."
Exhibit To Show Church Models
A luncheon, open to all students, was held Saturday in the Memorial Union cafeteria. Guest speaker at the luncheon was Stephen Fritchman of Boston, whose subject was "Unfulfilled Business at Liberals." Mr. Fritchman is director of the Tuckerman School and executive director of the Unitatian Youth Commission.
An exhibit of small architectural models of functionally and structurally modern church buildings are on display at the Conference of Kansas Religious Liberals, today at the Union Christian University. The display, under the supervision of Prof. Geo. Kim, represents the work of advanced students in architectural design.
Saturday evening, at 6:30, a dinner was served in the dining room of the Unitarian Church, Prof. W. B. Maxwell, chairman of the department of political economy at Washburn College, spoke.
