PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1952 The Kansan Comments Why Hire A Dance Manager In an effort to remove politics from the selection of the student dance manager for the coming year the Men's Student Council has become more and more involved. After two weeks of quibbling it is precisely where it started, with the prospect of doing nothing for one more week. Because the Men's Student Council had not followed precedent in the selection of applicants for this position, the committee failed to choose a dance manager Saturday morning. They retained the present slate of applicants and have opened the position to any male member of the student body. The council will not meet till October 3 to pass on applicants and may possibly take a week or two to make final selection. In the meantime the mid-weeks, the opening varsity, and the student-faculty reception and dance were arranged by the new Union operating committees, in cooperation with the business office. No one attending these affairs seems to have missed the presence of a dance manager. The dance manager's position is one that could easily be dropped by the Men's Student Council. The work he used to do could be as efficiently carried out by the various union operating committees. Dance bands can be hired by the business office—they had to O.K. the dance managers selection anyway in previous years. The advertising nad ticket sales could be handled by members of the Union committees. And when it comes to the Freshman Frolic, Sophomore Hop, the Junior Prom, and the Senior Cakewalk, the class dance managers, elected by the student body last spring, could serve in the capacity of the regular dance manager with possibly the president of each class acting as master of ceremonies. Doing away with the position of a dance manager altogether seems to be the only way of removing this job from Hill politics. It would also give the union operating committees a chance to do a little work and give the Men's Student Council one less thing to squabble about. "All nations have a primary interest in peace with justice, in economic well-being... and in conditions or order under law." When Cordell Hull spoke these words, perhaps his tongue was in his cheek. Independents Continue Organization "Scepticism as regards propaganda is one of the most vital necessities if democracy is to survive." - Bertrand Russell. For lo these many years the idea has been fermenting in the minds of various unaffiliated students that they haven't been closely allied with this social life at college. In bull sessions they've waxed indignant about the independent student's lack of contacts and backing in Campus activities. They've been vaguely disturbed about thumbing through pages and pages of group pictures in the Jayhawker. Occasionally sporadic attempts have been made to organize them. Last year a small group of students on the Hill realized that other schools had recognized independent organizations. They believed that if other colleges could institute such startling innovations as allowing independent students to use campus ballrooms for formals and running free book exchanges so could students here. Ever since that event they've been devoting a great deal of time to put this idea across to the rest of the "barbs." Accordingly, they made plans, which were submitted to faculty advisers and finally to students. They held an hour dance, attended by the interested and also by the merely curious. It was a success, so they held another and another, but they couldn't get around the fact that they needed funds. It is difficult enough to attempt to organize any group as unwieldy and large as the unaffiliated students on the Hill, but to attempt to do it without financial backing or previous experience seems fantastic. Money was not forthcoming, but an invitation to the Midwestern Independents' Convention at Oklahoma University was. After Easter vacation last spring, nine students trekked to Norman, listened to discussions about the success of tea dancing at the University of Colorado, about the Women's Group System at the University of Illinois, about the dance manager difficulties at Northwestern University. When they returned home the national secretary of the organization had been elected from their group. It finally turned out to be Tom Reams, e'uncl. In the bag also was the national convention, which will bring several hundred students to the Campus next spring. And that is something, considering that Illinois and Colorado have organizations that have been functioning for years, and that Northwestern wanted the convention too. "Without the support of the American people neither capital nor labor can thrive and prosper in this country. Progress will mark time until industry comes to its senses."—William Allen White. Spectators Desired To Buy; But Couldn't The Young Men's Christian Association made its debut in the concession business Saturday afternoon. From a monetary viewpoint, it was a successful afternoon, for the soda pop trade was booming. From the standpoint of 10,000-odd thirsty spectators, the concession was poorly managed. Much of the time, with the temperature 90 and no shade, no soda pop was available. After the first quarter, what soda pop the Y.M.C.A. could get was cold. It often was so warm that the pop surged up in foam when the inexperienced young men uncapped the bottles. Moreover, no vendors worked in the stands. The spectator had to leave his seat, elbow his way down a crowded ramp, then stand in line at a coupon office before he could reach the pop. Vendors should be allowed to work in the stands. The coupon office should be eliminated for it only adds to the confusion under the stadium. The Y.M.C.A. certainly can devise more efficient refreshment service than they offered at the Texas game Saturday.

Colleges Can Ill-Afford Awards; Summerfields Are Best Types of Scholarships Probably more former high school students attend colleges and universities on scholarships this semester than ever before. Their number has been increasing steadily since the depths of the depression earlier in the decade. The situation in itself is striking and at first glance highly promising. Appropriations and endowments designed to furnish the benefits of higher education to worthy students who otherwise would be unable to afford them began increasing by leaps and bounds at the very time when endowments were for every other "worthy purpose" were rapidly becoming extinct. Perhaps after all some of the idealism notoriously fostered in the college classroom had at last filtered into the business administration as well. The time, money, and energy formerly devoted to finding and securing better football material was being diverted into finding and obtaining better students, and much as forty per cent of their total endowment seed up in the scholarship law. He explains this by saying the when the depression started cutter the enrollments of the small colleges, and the more and more scholarships in ord But the story is not so simple after all. Investigation usually reveals more complex, more practical motives behind the sudden increase in free education. Donald Andrews, long associated with a leading mid-western college, even contends in a recent "Forum" magazine article that "the average application for a scholarship award is simply soliciting alms from people that can ill afford to give them. It is a peculiarly disingenuous use of the familiar tinn cup." notes and discords by John Randolph Tye Eighty-five thousand fish are kept swimming in alcohol in the University of Oklahoma biological science department. Poor fish, eh! The victory of Matt Betton's band at the Jubileus was certainly a surprise. You'd have thought that it would band would be as corny as Iowa. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ The Hutchinson news thinks the college are more democratic that they used to be. "Twenty year ago," claims Jack Harris, a KU critic of many year's standing, "an undergraduate who couldn't boast of a coon-skin coat was a nobody. Today the only sartorial demand for campus success seems to be coats and pants that don't match." And The Topeka State Journal thinks the trouble with most colleges is that there are too many girl guards and tackles and boy violinists and debaters. There is absolutely no truth in the rumor that Josephine, a blatant young model that got around this summer more than one would suspect, has been put on the Dean's black list. ☆ ☆ ☆ Isn't there any way by which the lusty souls who survive the battle of buying pop during football intermissions could be allowed at least two hours gym credit this semester? ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Probably it's too late to do anything about the "footballally speaking" phrase which appeared in Saturday's football program, but if Les Kappleman makes any more references to "trackologist" in his sport's column, we are going to start viewing with alarm. And in the interests of state harmony, we sincerely hope that the parties who originated the gag about keeping Kansas dry for Kansas youth haven't read the current Time which features a two-page book in colors in which the Kansas statehouse looms a bit too prominent. We'd feel a lot easier about the outlook for peace at home if there were another purge booked for this month. It would give the boys at Washington something important to think about instead of dispatching notes telling Europe how to run their business. ☆ ☆ ☆ This in turn means that funds which should have been used for laboratory equipment, new buildings, and faculty salaries had to be funded by scholarship funds. The schools, in many cases, were "scholarship poor." 10 bolster the number of students attending. The first evil led inevitably to further evils. Because the word "scholarship" connotes "honor" to most people, the serandrum to obtain scholarships was not limited to those high school students who needed more money in order to attend college. Nor were the colleges themselves careful to ascertain their loss of most money on the basis of grades, tuba playing, intelligence tests, or popularity. A well-to-do student might command more interest in his community than one driven by poverty to compete. This meant that more high school friends would follow the scholar to the school, or that the school would at least receive more publicity in the community. wanting a "scholarship" should be sidedered more a reproach than an honor. It has more than once resulted in scholarship-holders who had more money to start with than any of the faculty members who have been awarded these honors order to make the award possible in the first place.
