Comment
Pleuros are very observant creatures.
Pigeons off the Grass
Up on the roof and ledges of dear, dead Dyche innumerable pigeons alight, investigate, leave again. What they see they they find uninteresting.
Upon settling, they peer in the windows and cracks of the deserted building, and their keen eyes see a number of things. Mice scamper across the dusty floor, glops fit about, avoiding the tiny slits of light which manage to sweep through the interior. Here and there they seeming at the MC covered with shroud-like clothes, outroom or in, with a dismal scene.
major of the library fly away, they must wonder what has a womense of the students who used to come to visit the museum—if any of them are old enough to remember that far back. In their own small minds they must come to the conclusion that it would be better if the museum were open.
were open.
But of course they can't know what a brilliant thing is the human mind. Nor can they realize that a thing called money is more important to a human than any other earthly goods.
Nevertheless, pigeons are very observant creatures.

Now that the athletic board has set why don't you fellow get away from the fact that you have to crush and have to tear things down or be howling about something? If you want to win, you're not too sure or not try a change? From the way your paper has been healing, the alumni in this section are beginning to place you in the same class with William Randolph Hale.

Editor Daily Kansan:
The most entertaining highlight of the fall season was held in the University Auditorium Tuesday evening. It was a treasured occasion accorded the University students; it will be held every Thursday, and will remain part of each year's entertainment and be perpetuated. From the moment that the capable maestro Louis Foreman wavied his band to last bow, it was an hour and a half of dramatic entertainment with all the sophisticated expression in the opening chords of Duke Ellington's
Delicately and with an impeccable style, Masiero Forane slow and deliberately took his audience on an evolutionary itinerary that included a stop with an old routine "Maple Leaf Ring" to the final stop with Benny Goodman's "Sawyer," Benny Goodman not have been a more entertaining master of ceremonies than Forane.
The entertainment did not stop with the fine arrangements of combined bands of Red Blackburn and Lone Kuhn but, Ross Robertson and Ed Dillen. If Den Swarthout can extract delicate and smoothness from his choir, Robertson with equal grace and fitness brought this album to life. The Alba Delta Pi trio came in for their share of

the applauds. With the finale of "Crimson and Blue accompanied by the Trio and Robertson's male chorus the crowd was suddenly brought out from their attentiveness to become aware that they were overcome with emotion, and it was time to leave all of this welter of athletic controversy and student book store adoration this concert came as a delightful oasis and the concerts that we have done we do have something to attend here that is not on the activity ticket.

Editor Daily Kansas:
I have road and have seen so much of the performers of the athletic department at university this semester. I am a faculty member.
I am the first thing that strikes me is the deficit of the athletic department. One cannot help but wonder what there should be a defect judging by what there is on the floor from the paid office. The athletic director will say the first thing, that it is due solely to broadcasting the therein does not appear, and I can know where there are several miles in four weather and fair, he wants to see a game regardless of the outcome, being a loyal ally. I have made several trips to it to observe it.
I must say that the team, taken as a whole, is to be equipped in playing out its schedule, knowing beforehand that it was in for a trousing. Our boys are not dumb but are as fine a group of men as can be found at any university. Given proper instruction training they will give away to the Big Six keen students. If I don't think the student Kansas is a bad lover but does hope to have a good average team.
good average teacher. If he wants to about subsidization; What difference is it to anyone just who pays the expenses of these football players or any athlete whose equipment is properly stocked, properly stocked, enrolled and making his grades? If the University of Kansas should go out and get these players as has Nebraska—and I know wherered I speak—the situation would be in
I don't say that we would need my change in the athletic department if these men were given to understand that we want them to do what all of the other Big Six officials are doing and getting away with—going out and getting these promising high school students, and if they won't do this, well, M.D. Courtland Kan.

Performance
The clouds were splitting snow for a wind to frolic with and the thermometer was dropping, but shoppers still shopmed. The children must have been subsidized by the store owners, but they had down to see Santa Claus and incidently to see the toys that would be acceptable as Christmas gifts. They passed the less dazzling Santas who stood on the streets, of whom Fletcher was one, of whom Flechet was one, of whom sewn up and met next to meet more munificent (the gave away candy) Saint Nick in the department store.
Fletcher was disgusted at this sophistication in the youngest generation and suddenly remembered with a pain in his throat that his kid, his Chubby, had never been skeptical. No sir, not him. He always hung up his sock and had to have a Christmas tree all decorated with
Jerome P. Fletcher rationalized in that way not because it was logical but because it broke the monotony of thinking about his troubles. He had plenty of them and they were bona fide fide. A number ones but he was getting tired of review. The worries had taken when his wife had taken his kid and left him, his parugue had burned down, and his husband had lapsed and kept him from committing suicide. His troubles had multiplied like fruit flies and had been as inspiring as Hamlet's father ever since.
shaw and balls and tinsel and, and—God, he'd like to see Chubby. He wiped snow flakes out of his eyes and ran his bell viciously.
The snow thickened and Fletcher hunched his shoulders. The twilight before the lamps came on made thinks look dim and mydread. A lampshade rolled across him, near him and spoke to him out of the side of his mouth.
"Hy ya, kid." Fletcher answered with sad humor. "What do you want for Christmas?"
"Why Cripes, there n't nobody goin' around give 'um sainthi' for muthin'," snorted the lame newsboy, and then he added dardonically, "and then I put the fella nona. I want a, b, let's see now, a bicycle so' i can save me legs. And my address in case you got it it down is 12 North Cherry basement. You got that now? Okay." And he laughed and limped

"Whee, that's a pipe, you don't
think I believe in none of that hoosy
to you?"
It was near 6 o'clock and Fletcher was about to *leave his* post when a couple, not drunk but pleasantly stepped from a limoaine and into the street.
"Santa, we have reached a decision. You give to every one else." Here the girl tittered, but the man asked, "So we have decided to give to you."
Christmas Eve, wonder what Chubby's doing? Probably laughing with his mother—better off with his mother. Maybe she'd show him his picture. That would have been taken. Still a man. Why even if he was in Denver he be ashamed to let Chubby see him now. A ticket would cost only $15, but even if he had it he couldn't let Chubby see his old man looking like a tramp.
"Hv va, Santa Claus."
"No, I guess you don't." His face looked a little like Chubby's when he was trying to touch.
He folded Fletcher's hand around

The station was jammed and he had to fight his way to the ticket window. He asked for a ticket to Denver. The agent turned to get it and then they trooped themselves on the man's face. At first there had been joy over-coming pride, then came a balance between the two, then resolution and at last determination and self-reliance. The agent turned back, he was gone.

The lame newboy came home very late that Christmas Eve. In the hallway he found a red and white bicycle with a tag on the handle, "What do you mean there isn't no Santa Claus?"
