Just to be corry for a change, how about changing the Chancellor" "Private Walk" sign to "This is Malott, and I don't want anyone walking through it."
Making an abrupt demarche from the usual dance managers' policy of not earning their salaries, Fred Littotoy has gone to work in a big way. And, lo, the fruits of his labor are be harvested—Charlie Barnett and his ex-soldier John Fletcher one of the year's happiest events. All he ill Littotoy! Providing, of course, that he gets Hoch auditorium for the affair.
Beautiful things all young college men should know: the Theta's color scheme of blonde Beth Gleason, red-haired Marge Reed, and brunette Kayo O'Dillan. . . the girl you'l all been admiring but perhaps did not know her. He cut little blonde tyke from the Ch Oman. Keep your betting eye on her when they start the beauty queen battles.
The Shin's word-picture of a nut-house: a crowded floor, girls in formals, and some head-wacky jitterbug kicking around like a horse caught in a wire fence.
And then there's the Kappa who won the blanket at the Tangonoxi fair. Preparedness seems to be in the air these days.

Kansas Chances For Loop Title Considered Slim
- Fow Experienced Men
In Line; Strength of
Other Teams Has Changed
Little Since Last Year
By Jay Simon c'40
I'd like to tell you that Kansas will win the Big Six football crown this year. But this is Sunday and it's against my bringing up to tell such stores on the Sabbath.
All this week they have been going like throughthreeds through the yearling squad. They have brought plenty of "ohs" and "aha" from an anxious gallery with the tricky "Henry system." They have shown a spirit the like of which Mt. Oreau has not seen in many a moon.
Wishful thinking might lead a few to believe the Jayhawks will go all the way to the top this year. But when you consider that seven regulars were lost from 1958's skier dwellling club and also that champion Okahanna is every bit as strong as the Jayhawks, it is stronger, it is hard to figure how the Jayhawks are going to do a great lot of climbing.
Not a half dozen freshmen with varsity potentialities moved up this fall.
Up To Henry
This means that Kansas' chances of elevating itself in the conference rest squally on Coach 'Gwinn Henry's ability to put his football legendary into operation as he has done in Enporia, Missouri, and Arizona.
Henry already has his men play-
ing their hearts out in practice
against the fresh. He's given them
a dazzling set of ground and aerial
plays that have the spectators as
well as the opposition wondering
who has the ball and where it is
going.
Again I say this club looks good. But do you this man-power to make a battle of it with the rugged Oklaahoma and Nebraska outfits?
But do they have the man-power to make a battle of it with the rugged Oklahoma and Nebraska outfits? Five letter-writing wingmen are battling for starting positions and with two fairly good looking sophomores also in the contention, one would think Henry was well-fortified in this department. However, when one compares the best of this crop to his own, he is like Chiwitt—again flankers like Shirk and Ivy of Oklahoma, Seeman of Nebraska, and Crumbaker of K-State, it makes one wonder.
the tackles have lots of heft but (continued on page three)

Malott Outlines Three Goals In First Address
- New Chancellor Stresses Scholarship, Tradition,
And a Free University
As Chief Points
Speaking before a capacity audience of students, educational leaders and faculty, Chancellor Deane Malott outlined the three main goals in his inaugural address in Hoch auditorium Friday morning.
The convocation opened with the singing of the doxology, after which Dr. William L. Burdick, vice-president emeritus of the University, led a responsive reading of the doxology and the University band and the audience joined in singing the traditional hymn, "Duke Street."
W. T. Markham, Mr. and Mrs. Fred H. Harris, Drew McLaughlin, Ralph T. O'Neal, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Muir, Dr. H. L.Snyder, Grower Poole, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Brighton, Lieut. Governor and Mrs. C. E. Friend, Mr. and Mrs. Lester McCoy were present, representing the board of regents. Other celebrities included Mr. F. D. Farrell, president of Kansas State College, and his wife; Dean L. D.

Grandenbury, president of Pittsburg State Teachers College, and his wife.
The first University graduate to attain the Chancellorship, Deane Malott proposed the following three goals:
"First, high standards of scholarship. I say this very deliberately.
"Second, a free University, a quality for which the University of Kansas has always maintained an enviable reputation. I stress free because it comes to us as a heritage of our people fought in the founding days of the nation, and again in the early days of Kansas.
"Third, and finally, I am interested in the perpetuation of the traditions of the University.
