University Band Goes 'On to Washington'
Successful culmination last night of the campaign to send the University Band to Washington, D. C. was important not only because of the trip purse, but because it demonstrated that the student body definitely appreciates the extensive services of the Mt. Oread musicians.
When it was learned there was an opportunity for the group to make the trip, student leaders at once took up the campaign with enthusiasm.
Several of these students, not members of the band and standing little chance to gain personally should the team be sent, gave valuable hours to the work. They deserve not only the thanks of the band but also the pluuds of their fellow students for unselfish service.
Regardless of the amount of their unselfish work, however, the campaign pushed by these students and those who solicited, would have failed had not fraternities, sororities, Hill organizations, faculty members, independent students, alumni, and other interested persons donated generously to the cause.
In past services, the band has repaid these gifts times over. It will be to other channels, therefore, that the long list of donors must look for direct results from their gifts. There is the signal honor, for instance, of belonging to a student body which unhesitatingly rallied behind a proposal that could not possibly benefit them as individuals.
Secondly, a certain distinction will be derived from such a trip by an University organization. Few college bands are afforded the opportunity of a cross-continental trip. Still fewer ever have the honor of performing in the nation's capital. By the splendid showing it will make the University Band will be a credit to the University of Kansas.
The campaign just concluded produced $892.42. With such a record behind it, it never can be said that University students, faculty members and patrons are ungrateful.3.
"K. U.S VICTORY."—The Emporia Gazette
Not an Alibi, But in Consolation
At the end of a week of rather exalted academic exercises in Lawrence, the Kansas State University climaxed its celebration of seventy-five years as a tower of light and a repository of the good, the true and the just, by going down under dramatic defeat in the Nebraska football game.
Thus K. U, upholds its tradition as an institution of learning and not as a sporting colseum. It was unfortunate this year that K. U, defeated Manhattan. We had come to hope that the football college in Kansas par excellence, ne plus ultra, multum in parvo, ad astra per hoottnanny, would be Manhattan.
We had hoped that any young man in Kansas who desired to play football or cheer for a football team or had any pride or interest in football would see Manhattan as the glorious victor in every gladiatorial struggle in Kansas and would go there. That would leave K. U. a cloister in which students might lay the foundation for those mental habits which, for want of a word, we call an education.
In which connection, we wish that the Kansas boy who was benched for socking the Nebraska slugger had punched the whole cornhusking bunch in one fell sweo, right on the smacker. They had it coming!
We are glad, therefore, to see Nebraska lick the everlasting pants off Kansas with one hand tied behind her. It will do something to polish up the mirrors and lenses of the Lawrence lighthouse and throw a little illumination across the pleasant fields of Kansas in the way of academic enlightenment. The K. U. celebration of its seventy-fifth year ended by a football walloping in a fitting triumph for that institution as a purveyor of sweetness and light.
Are Self-Supporting Students All Liars?
"If there is one thing that instantly arouses my suspicions about a man's sense of honesty, it is the smug statement. I worked my way through college.' . . . Show me ten men who allegedly worked their way through college and I'll show you nine out-and-out liars and one equivator."
Thus, startlingly, begins an article in the current American Mercury, supposedly written by a college student who tried to be self-supporting and now explains, "If my wife continues to make me a living, I will receive my degree next year, after seven years of disillusionment."
Is there another aspect after all, to the situation of the student who tries to be self-supporting while in school?
Setting the individual minimum expenses at a state-operated university, including fees, books, school supplies, board, room, clothing, recreation, transportation, cleaning and lau-dering, and toothpaste, at $600, the author asks "How much of this can our hypothetical hero earn in his sparse time?"
Then he delimits an average student's spare time, by setting aside twenty-one hours a week for classroom and laboratory, twice that amount for study at home, eight hours of sleep each night, an hour and one-half per day for meals, and time for an occasional bull session, bottle of beer, movie, date, or letter home. This leaves the poor student only thirty hours a week, at most, for outside work.
Multiplying this by forty cents an hour, admittedly a lavish estimate, he finds the student "still a hungry, sacrificing eighteen dollars per month short of minimum requirements."
As for making up the deficit in the summer: "by the time summer rolls around, the genuine working-student will be so exhausted from the long weeks of lost sleep, penny-pinching, and starvation fighting that he will likely not give a damn whether he works through the summer or sleeps through it."
In conclusion, the author contends that only a born entrepreneur can really work his way through college without some assistance and even he is likely to permit his entrepreneurship to overbalance his scholarship.
"The students who stand by far the best chance of emerging from college unwarped and equipped for a real future, are those who receive moral and financial support from their parents."
Well, that's one man's experience. What do you think?

Thanksgiving Of 1738 Compared With Today
Thanksgiving Then and Now
1728--Rugged men muffled in heavy clothing tramp over the Eastern hills in search of a strutting turkey. The sun glims on the muzzles of their guns and only the footmarks of their guns are visible. The solid expanse of glittering white. If one were to retrace those footprints in the soft snow he would soon come upon a rise and in the distance, see the curling smoke of a snug little house, and hear the farking balk of the dogs. Inside the cilden children from the countryside would be playful, with the kids, but be near the fire learning their ABC's They Gave Thanks
A dozen women would be preparing the meal, cranberries and corn, and perhaps some pumpkin. The turkeys would be there soon, as soon as their menofels discovered turkey tracks in the snow. They would run around the place when they heard the sharp cracks of the guns echoing across the silent countryside. Soon the entire company would kneel in a circle and the preacher would ask the blessing of the Lord. They would offer thanks for their survival in this new land, for their prosperity and good health. They promised land and had given them the strength to live in happiness.
If one were to retrace those tire marks he would come upon the best residence section of the city and in one corner see the towering splendor $100,000 home and hear the pair of lifesavers edging up to the front doors.
1988 - Belfontaine Drive — Fat men smothered in expensive clothing race their Packards down the New York steel and concrete valleys in search of guests for a dinner party. The sun glistens on their expensive suits. The Packards marks of their ties are lost in a sea of slush and mud.
Inside the mansion, home-from-college collages of the rich would be gulping old fashioned and silently thanking the board of regents for their work. The mother would be just getting out of bed to welcome the guests and Fa-
They Drink Champagne
notes 'n discords
Monday evening there was an eclipse of the moon. The same thing happened to a lot of candidates the next day.
The mother would throw another log on the fire—if she had a log to throw. When father got back, they would sit down to a Thanksgiving Day meal of cold mush and beans, the everyday diet.
Now that the election is a thing of the past, we hope the newspapers of America will give the trial of the young sculptor, Robert Irwin, the coverage and attention it deserves. There is nothing like a good murder trial to take away the taste of an election campaign.
by John Randolph Tye
If one were to retract their steps, he would soon come upon a dingy tenement house and upstairs see the cockroaches and lice. Inside the room, not rooms, but room, babies would be squalling and young men and women rubbing their hands together to keep them warm.
driving down the slushy street, would be swearing because the latest business deal was hanging fire. Soon forty of the most prominent personages of the city would sit down to caviar, steaks, champagne and gossip. They would throw another drink down the gullet when they heard their host return. And before hurrying to the Turkey Day game between Columbia and Yale in 1985, they went to chestra at the Biltmore, they would cuss the weather, the market, and their friends.
It is truly a pitiful condition that one poor Archison family is in. The roof of their house is so full of holes that every time it rains they must go out and sit in their new sedan to keep dry.
1938 - Middleclass Street —Here on Middleclass Street, if anywhere, is one the most likely to find the counterpart of the 1738 Easterner. Enjoying the crisp weather, eating food for the taste and not for the cost or lack of, thankful for his job, his family, and his health is his Mr. Average Man.
This day would be no different from 364 other days that year, except that some days would be warmer and some colder. They would see fit to thank no God, if they still had one. He had led them to a hole hell and had given them barely enough strength to withstand the tortures of the economic system and a gnawing stomach.
1038 — Ash-Can Alley — Ragged men trudge down Ash-Can Alley in search of a job. The sun glistens on brass overall buttons, and their foot-prints are lost in the squarer and misery of the district.

Writes Charlie Townley in the Great Bend Tribute: In view of how a girl spells her name after she goes to college, christening the little creature in front of the congregation is more or less a wasted effort.
But it is not entirely the girl's fault that they change their names. There should be a law against parents giving a girl a name like Robert-ellen. Ever since we ran across the name in one of the exchanges last week, we've been trying to pronounce it.
At least the young man in Washington, D. C., who fainted at his wedding was original.
If all the students who slept in class were laid end to end they would be a lot more comfortable.
...
He knows that there are a few happy persons on Bellfortone Drive and a few happy persons on Ash-Car Drive. The majority of the happiness is on Middleclass Street.
Mush and Beans as Usual
Great Bend must have a quota of Maybelle's, Edythe's, and Nellyye's too.

'Y' Bowl of Rice Supper Tonight
★Proceeds Go to Fund
For Relief of Chinese Students
A bowl of rice supper will be this year's Armistice day observance instead of the regular memorial service. This supper is one or the many which are being given throughout the country. It is sponsored by the Current Action Commission of the W.Y.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. and will be held tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. in the auditorium of Myers hall.
A Chinese meal of rice, tea, and chopsticks will be served. The proceeds of the supper will go to the Far Eastern Student emergency fund which is designated to aid Chinese students who have been forced to move into the interior of the country in order to continue their studies.
An urgent situation has been created by this mass migration of students under war conditions into cities unprepared to receive them. The students are in need of lodging, food and clothing. The Far Eastern Service Fund is an afferunt to raise $30,000 which will make it possible for the destitute students to complete their training for leadership in reconstruction work.
A dramatic skit entitled, "You Can't Take Me With You," will be given following the supper. The program committee consists of: Mary Gershner, chairman, Brosco Rose; Bc1; Gerald Banker, c. 48; and John Piercy, c. 39.
Jean Steele, c'41, is chairman of the supper committee.
This supper will take the place o the regular Wednesday meeting o this commission.
New Courses By Correspondence
The bureau of correspondence study is sending out letters to elementary teachers in the counties of Kanasa, explaining the courses available for renewing certificates or for achieving others.
Credits thus earned are not only applicable for a state certificate but also may be counted toward a degree from accredited colleges or university.
sities. New required courses for the
30-hour or 60-hour certificate have been prepared and others will be added later.
If desired, definite suggestions are given as to the selection of courses and the planning of a study program. Teachers who are earning salaries
equal to or less than the security wage paid in their counties are eligible for the special fee for CCC enrollees and WPA employees. This will provide opportunities of correspondence study within the reach of all teachers.
