Service -- Forty-Five Years
Forty-five years of service.
This is the total chalked up today by George O. Foster, our registrar.
An impressive record in itself, but these figures do not begin to tell the story. They do not for instance, take into account the innumerable times his advice has smoothed the path for a bewildered freshman and has shown the way to a troubled upperclassmen. They do not reveal the qualities of sympathy and understanding which have won him the respect and admiration of the student body.
It is never necessary to pass inspection of rows of cold-hearted secretaries when one has a problem needing his counsel. One just walks in and talks to him about it.
No, mere figures cannot tell the tale. But the students know the rest of the story, and today they unite, with the Kansan as their spokesman, to congratulate Mr. Foster and to wish him many more years of the work he loves so well.
Once, we take it from an old song, crickets were confined to the hearth. Now, like political misinformation, are found everywhere.
Why Goldbricking?
On Mt. Oread there are now 625 students receiving work allotments under the College Student Employment Project who probably would not be attending school otherwise. Of this great number, there is a small few, unfortunately, who are either "sitting down on the job" or accepting aid which they do not absolutely need.
- Topeka State Journal.
Although the administration of the CSEP is probably the best in the country, there are a few means of getting the jobs who one doesn't need it badly. Moreover there are a few who "gold-brick." These few are giving the CSEP a slightly black eye, but an entirely undeserving one. They err.
To those students who believe that the CSEP is a sinecure, there can be but one answer. They are grossly wrong.
In the spending of public moneys, too much prudence and care can not be used. To take money from the public chest without the greatest regard for how it is to be spent, is wrong. To use such money in this fashion, is a crime, common elsewhere as it may be.
On the other hand, if the funds are to be looked upon as a payment to students who will undertake higher education, without the entailing of outside work but as a reward for high grades (and we see no reason in the long run social good why this should not be so) then let us forget about the work.
There is, we hope, no question raised as to the absolute worth of the CSEP. That this money is being invested soundly can not be denied; that it ought to be maintained permanently can not be denied. However--older body than you are for HAM! She has opened fire on the 8 count date rule. Are you couds going to fight for the issue—or are you going to let it die? The least you can do is to voice your own opinions on the matter.
If the project is to be looked upon as a temporary measure for the financial aid to students until they can find another job, or, if it is to be looked upon as a means of providing work by which students may make their way (while the lucky ones live in comfort on parental remittances), then it can only be fair to the earnest ones working sincerely, that the dilatory few do their part in preserving not only the spirit but also the dignity and equity of the National Youth Administration, and the prestige of the local organization.
Otherwise, some overzealous politician in the best of faith may succeed in cutting off the CSEP for the "public good" because of some malimpresSES he may have received.
Closer Parking
Again the little word IF may be the pitfall in a perfectly good idea.
IF the students who drive cars to school will park as closely as possible to the other cars in the zones, there will be plenty of room for all of the cars assigned to the various zones.
It might be wise to consider the other fellow, because some day you may be the driver of a car, with only half enough space in which to park. The vile words will probably float through the air; but still you'll have no place to park in your specified zone, for the simple reason that the other cars are parked with more than ample space between them.
All students who drive cars on the Hill are urged, by the parking committee of the Men's Student Council, to park as closely as possible to the other cars in the zones.
"Even though the ones are all filled except zone four, there is still room enough for all the cars in the different zones providing the students do as requested," said Vee Tucker, chairman of the parking committee.
The Student Senate must have accomplished great things in last night's meeting. The presiding officer pounded so forcefully with his gavel that the plaster shook loose from the ceiling and dropped in the typewriter of one of the deskmen.

It Can't Happen Here
In Wichita it is issued a publication, by Gerald B. Winnrod, called the "Revealer" which describes itself as "A Christian News Journal." It is a rabbiily reductive paper which is devoted to fighting the Jewish and so called Communist menace in America. The caliber of this publication is gauged from its two page spread in the September 15, 1936, issue, in which are printed pictures of prominent New Dealers who are all labeled as "A Few of A American's Jewish Masters."
This type of publication is not new to America. It is one of the prices we pay for our belief in freedom of the press. But it should be a source of regret to us, as Jayhawkers, to find an article in the paper by one of our own graduates, Clarence P. Oakes. For a long time Mr. Oakes' fascist sympathies have been quite apparent. He is known to us for his allegation, in a letter to the Peace Forum, that most of Russia's children don't even know their own parents.
We didn't expect to find this distinguished foreign correspondent descending to such a level as "The Reveler" maintains. Last year Mr. Oakes was a contributor of feature articles to the Editorial page of the Kansan. It is unfortunate that we have, at so recent date, permitted one who holds views so violently opposed to the American traditions this University stands for, to contribute to its student organ. For the "Reveler" on the very next page from his column, "Short Waves from Europe" carries the spread article on our "Jewish Masters." In it we discover that President Roosevelt is a Jew, (Rossewell), as is Charles Michelon, head of the Democratic Public Committee, to give some others—Frances Perkins, and William C. Bullitt.
Perhaps the time may come when our love for freedom will not intrigue upon our sense of decency. But so long as the phrase "freedom of the press" remains such a fetish we can do nothing but deplore this American version of Streicher's "Stuvermer."
We deploy the fact that this gutter press numbers among its writers one of our graduates, a recent contributor to our columns, and that it is published in the Jayhawke state whose founders had an entirely different view of the rights of the minority peoples in America.

Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan
This business of having to entertain one's dates on the front porch, even when housemothers and landlords are so 'operaverse' as to allow it is not what it is created for, will have an effect. We must open to the public, (especially when they are close to the street) and in the second place, wet and anoxy weather do not make them the most comfortable place to spend their time.
What's the harm in taking one's date into the house between library hours and closing hours? It's only a few moments at the most. And what's wrong with being allowed to ask one's friends in to study or to spend an hour or so in the pleasure of that company? Even the housemates have discussed the matter in their own
nature, there nothing that can be done to help the cool toward the heat, a respectable place in nature with her friends.
I suggest that we dispense with the football team and let the University Band play next Saturday. It would be easier for the band to present the pleasener for Governor Landor, who will attend the games his last before the great election day. Sir, will you announce this game? I should like action, color and pleasant sound, all of which the Band can provide. The Rock Chalk yell afterwards just the same, could give the Rock Chalk yell afterwards just the same,

There would be more interviews, but we lost our nerve—there was a hollow feeling within us when one guy we asked told us he was not a freshman, who had taken his degree in diving, anyone, playing a game? Things like this make life difficult.
"The school has grown some," he chuckled. In place of four small buildings, there are 27. In place of 474 students, there are over 4,600. And in place of 35 faculty, members there are 250 full-time instructors.
that students today are just as willing to work and haven't as much to work with as they ever had.
"It has been a great experience for me," he said. "I have enjoyed every year." George O. Fuster is one man who likes his work. He wouldn't change places with an assistant. As he an simply yet astonishing act, he "The University is a part of me."
A quiet, unassuming man, he was reluctant to talk of his work and service to the University. But he has worked, and worked hard. What is his reward? He is a professor of history, an army of friends all over the world. Nothing more than the respect of every student enrolled in the University. Nothing more than the satisfaction of knowing that "us can do a lot of things," and that he doesn't care who gets the credit."

In Rhetoric Class
It is very probable that the publishers of the "Bower" books have ample material for a new volume. If they have not, the following quotations from papers in Professor Hopkin's freshman rhetoric class deserve a place therein. The assignment to the class was "A Matter of Style," wayard by Alfred Noyes. Sentences gleaned from first one paper and then another produce this result:
It was at knight—a wicked night. The moon was shining brightly in England on the Moors. It was in the mitten. A robber road down the moon

This time has been whittled down gradually, so that now the connection is made in an average of 1.4 minutes—nine out of ten of them while you hold the line.
WHEN the class of 1917 was at college, a long distance telephone call took (on the average) more than ten minutes to be put through.
But this is only one phase of the relentless effort to improve. Your service is better today because voice transmission is clearer—interruptions and
errors less frequent than ever before.
America demands fast but sure telephone service—and gets it.
