Kansan Comment
Despite the fact that Mount Oread is shrouded in a deep blue gloom today there is still one bright spot where our honor has remained unsmudged. The University Band continues its even ranks unbothered by defeat, undisturbed by its opponents.
The Band Is Still
The Best in the West
Wednesday the Band goes to Washington, carrying on high the standard of the University of Kansas, showing to the whole nation that Kansas has the best band in the West, if not the whole country.
Between now and Wednesday, however, there still remains to be contributed about $300 to the "On To Washington" fund. If you haven't made your contribution to this worthy cause, do it today or Monday so that the Band may make its plans with the assurance that it won't have to face a deficit when it returns. Do your part towards helping the Band "On To Washington."
Perhaps Music Students Make Better Politicians
A new era of respect for male songbirds and such like disciples of the musical Muse is heralded by the revolutionary discovery that the New York battle axe of politics, Thomas A. Dewey, once held a musical scholarship at the University of Chicago.
And to make it worse, Mr. Dewey was good at singing. He was no mere barber shop amateur. He won a contest with his deep bass voice at the end of his six weeks' scholarship. Furthermore, when he went to New York he earned $15 every Sunday (that was in 1924, of course) by singing solos in Gothic churches.
Perhaps it is only political publicity calculated to win the votes of the large number of musical aspirants in New York in the coming election. But if the fine arts devotees realized the good will such news creates for them, they would lose no time in hastening to the polls.
Hereafter, music students may pursue the Muse unheckled, for in every one of them their fellow men will see a potential Thomas A. Dewey. And their exasperated parents and friends may be comforted that if they must starve at music they can always turn to politics.
Little Red School House Has Had Its Day
The day of the little red or white one-room school house is fast passing away in Kansas. Surveys made by the office of the state superintendent of schools reveal that at least 1,035 such school districts in Kansas are not maintaining their own educational facilities this year.
Elimination of most of the one-teacher districts would give better schools and more efficient schooling, believes Superintendent Markham. He advocates reduction of the number of state school districts from 7,252 to 3,000, in order to give the pupils in the weak districts better educational facilities. That way, tax money would not have to be split in so many small portions, many of them now inadequate to support in one-room, seven-months schools.
And although the passing of the one-room one teacher, rural school, with its cozy air of informality and personal interest, may be mourned by hundreds who received their early schooling in such modest temples of learning, yet the passing is a healthy sign for education in the state, according to W. T. Markham, state superintendent.
The reform could easily be effected, now that modern highways and school busses have reduced the distance to school, measured in time and expense, immeasurably.
Shadow of the Tie's Noose Foretells Man's Doom
Woe to the luckless male whose wife or sweetheart presents him with a subscription to the "Tie-of-the-Month Club" Ties, Ltd., newly organized by—you might know—two women, is playing on the old man vs. woman feud of taste in ties.
Ties, Ltd. surely does not realize the grave sociological consequences inherent in its unique plan of sending one tie per month to the hapless man who is fortunate enough to have one of its $30 yearly subscriptions.
Man, after a dire, bitter struggle of—well,
decades at least—is just getting woman to the point where she admits that it might be best that he be allowed to pick his own ties. Now,
under the benevolent protection of Ties, Ltd.
woman may regain at one fell swoop all her lost ground in the battle.
And what about Christmas and birthdays? The ties which man is always certain to receive on any pretext of a holiday or anniversary, added to those which he will receive from the
"Tie-of-the-Month Club" will more than eliminate any freedom of choice for the wearers.
But what should the poor male do? Certainly he should not be lured into wearing these scandalous creations of imported-tapestry fabrics because they are coating the little woman $2.50 a shot. Once his neck is inside the moose of the colored cavat, his days as an independent man are over. Possibly he could begin hinting for a lounging robe for Christmas. And in the meantime should certainly help create a fund that would gain control of Ties, Ltd.
Corn' Horseshoes And the Machine Age
Reading the newspaper accounts of the national corn husking contest raises wonder what the future of the sport will be.
Already the sport is growing useless, from a practical point of view. Machines that husk corn have been invented, and have proved to be successful. A special kind of corn is being developed—a kind that will grow its ears a certain height from the ground—for the mechanical corn gatherer. The trend toward industrialization will soon make husking by hand obsolete.
The corn husking contests will be continued, though, even as the game of horseshoes survived the automobile's coming. And now horseshoe pitchers throw implements that were never made to catch horses, but designed merely to catch and cling to a peel placed 40 feet away.
Perhaps the sport of corn husking will undergo a similar evolution. In 1958, or so, the national pastime will probably be stripping from artificial stalks make-believe ears of corn equipped with zippers for easier husking.
Through the co-operation of the Foundation des Etats-Unis of Paris, France, Rollins College will inaugrabe a Foreign Study Plan in January. 1939. The plan provides for six months of study in France for undergraduate students of exceptional merit. This plan is outstanding in that it involves no additional cost o the student. Under the Rolls unit-cost fee, transportation to and from Europe, living expenses while in France, and the cost of instruction will be provided by the college.
The maximum 44-hour week should bring comfort to lots of people. The unemployed will be real happy to learn that they are unemployed only 44 hours a week now.

Students' Remarks Reflect Hope and Dispair at Game
A roving reporter stepped on coke bottles, blankets, feet, people, and hats in an effort to jot down comments on the game. The results of a quarter by quarter conversation with students:
By Agnes Mumert, c'40
LOIS LIOPUSKY, c'39: "I don't know which side they're playing for. We might win if they get warmed up enough."
First Quarter:
JEAN PERRY, c'40: "Oh, I feel awfully heartstick. I think we'll win We're bound to. I'm just holding my breath."
Second Quarter:
WAYNE WHELAN, c:41 "Very colorful. I'm pretty sure we'll win—my intuition. I wish they'd do it without the splinters in these soats."
REX DARNALL, e41: "I think it's wonderful." (a bit hosem from yelling for a 'free for all') " they're getting some spirit. That's what you need for a game. We've got a good chance now to win."
GWEN EUSTACE. "fa38: 'Saw game, except for the wild pass I'm sure well win. I'll feel that way even up to the last minute.'
Third Quarter:
KATHRYN KRAINBILL, c'uncle!
"I kathryn it's awfully warm. I'm just waiting for something to happen."
(Someone remarked that a blonde
BOB MESCHKE, c'uclc: "It's plenty good, and the score will be 7-6 in favor of Kansas."
LILLIAN ROE COLOD, c:42. "Oh the aerial attack is fine when it's complete." When asked to elaborate she insisted. "Eet is no o-o-thing. Forgat me. But we've got to win, we get 130 closing hours to night."
notes 'n discords
by John Randolph Tye
Anyway Kansas ruined the Aggies Homecoming last week.
--like this one shouldn't wait for something to happen.)
Fourth Quarter:
There must be an interesting political campaign in progress in Athetison for the Globe is advising anyone who wishes to find out just how ornery his grandfather was, to run for public office.
Headline from the semi-weekly S. M. U. Campus: "Journalists to gather at White Rock on Wednesday night to hear speeches and journalism interviews and think of a better place for journalists to gather at better around White Rock.
As far as we can determine, the worst thing about Homecoming is the coming home.
Ah, *had* Just as you predicted, nothing good came from Fint Hill Peggy's comparison of the K. U. team to "a poor little ragged barefoot country boy who triumphs over the self assured, warmly clothed kid from town." One of those self assured, warmly clothed kids from town by the name of Merril (2 to 1) he spends his vacations putting in the wheat crop on the lower forty (authors a column a-la-robertson in the Kansas State Collegian. After quoting with gusto of Peggy's column, Merl will sheds a few imaginary tears for "the barefoot relations down the river" and breathes refers to us as "just white trash". All of which is a good example of what happens when a paper allows a woman to cover a football game in the first place, and when the state allows journalism and agriculture to be taught in the same institution in the second place.
. . .
After reading the Kansas exchanges for the past several months, we find it difficult to remember just what editors wrote about when there was no political campaign in progress.
In one of the southern states it is against the law to put salt on the railroad tracks. That doesn't worry you, but it does better. It better to catch a train anyway.
**BETTY BLAKE, c'41:** "Now it's a good game. It takes Amaterine. No, I don't date him." (Yes, everyone lauded).
The Minnesota Daily Student defines peace as a period of minor wars between two major conflagrations.
England and France have not yet guaranteed Czechoslovakia's new frontiers because to date they haven't found them.
JIM CUSHING, c. 42: I'm dispa-
pointed. I had hopes after we had
a one point lead and all the advent-
nances"
...
LEO FEED, c'40. We I thought at first we were just about lost. But when Brother Amerine started going I knew it was just like trying to hit a rack rabbit with a knapsack. Then I slipped into the way he took that Nebraska man."
LYMAN TERRY, gr. coke bottle in hand: "If the field were a little more dry, we'd win. But it's wet. Really and truly, that's no foolin'. I think everybody will agree that Kansas is outplaying Nebraska."
A parachute jumper who was killed at Augusta, Ga., had sent a telegram to his father that morning to say he had been storming after the show today.
SOLON GILMORE, c'41: "It's been very interesting—exciting in spots. I think we need a little more basketball in the backfield."
BILL MacFARQUHAR, gr.: "Mum is the word" he said determined, but finally loosened up with "So far I think KU. has played a pretty good game, but it isn't as good as last week's."
GENEVIEVE HARMAN, c42: "I think it swell. We'll win. The queen is gorgeous, and KU's hand. And after that last touchdown."
RUTH ALVORD, fm. 42: "Oh-ha-h!
It was good fighting, but very disap-
pointing."
MARY ROBELEN SCOTT, c. uncle: "Anyway, we had spirit. We was exciting just because it was Homecoming." (And that is that. It appeared unusual that there weren't any allibis floating around.)

by jimmy robertson
Herman Addington slammed his geology book shut with a bang and said "Shucks!"
You could tell Herman was mad because he swore so violently, and ordinarily Herman never said anything worse than "fudge."
It was homecoming and the boys downstairs in Mother McGeese's boarding house were whooping it up Herman tipted to the head of the stairs and what he saw made him stand againt. He staggered back into his room and sat against. He quivered like a man who has just had a dead fish thrust under his nose.
The sight of liker repelled him. Ficking up his geology book, Herrman went to the garage where he could study in peaceful solitude. This homecoming business sort of disturbed Herrman's study routine. Here he would already and he didn't even have his lesson for Nate day prepared yet.
He peered out of the garage window. The bushes were so thick and the light from the street lamp so dim that he couldn't see her at first. Then she saw her. One of her eyes was closed in a significant wink.
Seating himself on a board put across a couple of sows heroes, he soon became lost in the precambrian age. A rock hit the garage window and a feminine voice called soily, "Hey, Herman!" Herman winced. It was Josephine, that rich girl from Kansas City whom Herman liked but never went out with because Mother McGeese didn't approve of his spending his money on girls when he couldn't pay his room rent.
"Where's Mother McGeese."
"Sssshh!" she said.
"Secrecy and Silence."
"Oh, she's up stairs putting the bathroom door back on its hinges. The boys have been celebrating homecoming, you know."
"O. Herman," she said coyly in a croppy whisper, "why don't you take me to the varsity tonight . . . or maybe we could go out to Smillers . . . or maybe just out for a ride in my Buick phaeton."
"Well, gosh. I'd like to but get, what if mother McGeese should get us?"
From the house came a sound that awakened the aparrows in the garage raffers. Turning, Herman saw another McGeese leaning out a window.
"Herman Addington, what are you doing?"
It was a situation which demanded wift and constructive thinking.
"I'm just looking at a beetle," he
"A beetle, I'm looking at it."
