Bud Wrote It . . . Bless You Can
. . . Things and Stuff Mixed
With Thoughts While Scrawling
Buddy Boy Evans wrote the column yesterday, so you can send him the roses. Speaking of roses reminds me that a letter came from a group of friends who had been sending tea roses under had been sending tea roses to that girl for quite some time now.
Would like to remind the next columnist "but if he ever sees Carl Smith, beta making a statement for heaven's sake and his ability he deserves and stop at nothing.
All the modern romes swear by that old proverb, "To the victor belong the gods."
During guest week for the column, Professor Dill's twelve-year-old son knew that the *regular writer* wasn't thinking that he believed that "Child Life" might use me.
The Alpha Chi's have a letter for this column. In fact, they've had it for a month, and it hasn't been delivered. I'll bet it has something to do with the article that Woods wrote about Woods. Wouldn't you know?*?
Bobby Wells, Sigma Chi's gift to hospitals, has taken up ink painting for a pastime. (That is, since he has started going with Feees). You just wait, the next step is getting ready for school. They will start a sewing circle and go all the gossip before the column does.
Things have come to a pretty pass around here. After we hear those lectures about school spirit and all that stuff, who should we see at the show on the night when King played Nebraska, but some of our high-tech gear will be mentioned. Our parens will not be mentioned. I visit with them made me a believer.
If Wray Choate ever sees that squid about the Ethiopians and Indians in the engineer magazine, there's going to be trouble for some humorists. Wray doesn't that international stuff and those racial problems as we see them now. He's got to get into the discussion about this, you had better hurry or 'won't be here to enjoy it.'
NUMBER 84
It must be a step toward Hades to perform for a play at the locals. Anyway that was my impression at the performance given by Trio Schloep at an audition that takes some people back to their high school days.
There's one thing that has had me baffled all year. Have you seen that fellow on the Hill who has the long hair? Well, is he in the Fine Arta School, or is he waiting for some one to buy him a violin?
Kenny Born is going to lead hunger strike in Topeka before long Now the Men's Student Council is debating whether to follow him or not. Why don't you take them over and for forget to bring them back, Kenny?
In conclusion, and after much serious thought concerning the matter, we find that more people are killed by death than any other way.
Tulsa Co-eds to Pay Bills
Men Students To Be Given Free Leap Year Dunge
The co-eds at the University of Talisa are having a leap year dance tonight. The girls decided that they would really do it right.
"If I take a date, I'll do it right," declared one co-ed "Tell for him in my car, go up to the door, do the driveway, tell the chair him somewhere to afterward."
Other girls are going as stags, and are making plans to cut in on each other's dates. One girl said she might call for a date the last minute.
It's the girls' turn. The boys will have to make the most of it.

"Community Inn"
Shelters Young People
Of All Races
London—(UP)—An experiment in community living is being conducted in London by a group of young people of both sexes.
Their home, in Camden Town, North London, is called "Youth House." Anyone under 30 can live in the bgease if he is bdiminded, does not object to rule, or creeds, pay them from $1 to $5 cash, and contributes labor in some form.
So far the experiment has been successful. People of 36 nations live at the hotel in perfect harmony.
Almost all the work at the house even to repairs and decorations, is done by the residents, who include clerks musician, accountants musicians and artists.
It is the ambition of the group to alve a chain of Youth Houses in every town and city.
Reed's Attack on West Causes Worry for G.O.P.
Former Governor Rape Landon Organization in Editorial
Topeka, Kan, Jan, 23—(UP). The Kaness gubernatorial race is going round and round and nobody is quite sure it will come out here or there!
The latest quirk in the impending race which may be extremely complicated by Kansas Day is the apparent right-about-face by former Governor Clyde M. Reed, publisher of the Parsons Sun.
On January 13 in the editorial columns of the Parsons Sun, Reed took the Landon organization to task for attempting to push the gubernatorial hopes of W. G. (Bill) West, clerk of the supreme court and crown prince of the Landon group Reed declared then "doubted the wisdom of going to the people of Kinsma with a candidate for governor" while primary came from office holders within and without the state-house."
Three days later he followed this up with a statement that West, his private secretary when he was governor, was a "fine gentleman, honest, honorable, intelligent and most loyal to his friends and his party." He further explained there were no hard feelings between him and West.
At a meeting the Kansas editors in Wichita last Friday, West smiling admitted he was "thinking" about making the gubernatorial race and readily agreed his "good friend Clyde Reed is in the picture."
So instead of snarling and snapping at each other as appeared unavoidable last week, the two potential political anarchists took to the streets and sweet words about each other.
The gubernatorial race probably will not be confined to West and Reed Harry Doryk of Kansas City, Kan. state highway direction, is considered a strong
Many political observers predict that Reed and West may impair each other's chances and Derby may step in to garner the nomination.
Others prominently mentioned in the impending races are Dr. James Scott of the parole board, Lt. Gov. Charles W. Hancock (Chiok) Haacke and Gale Ridley.
R. C. Abram, of the University mail station, gave the following figures for the University postal receipts for the past year: For the year ending December 31, 1955, the receipts were $6,045.23, and for the same period in 1934 they were $18,790.65. This shows an increase of 35% over the period for the receipt of the month of June, 1955, were low with $1,601.08. October was high with $3,269.13
Announcements of candidacies are expected to be made at the Kansas Day celebration here Jan. 29.

--under the "strength of the federal people," and military appropriations could be used for reserve he said, charging that less than 500 of the 3000 reserve pilots on whom the government spent $1,000,000 dollars to train at the close of the war may rely on protective war purposes now because of ineffective reserve policies.
Plan for Building Air Corps Reserve Offered Congress
Measure Would Authorize Training Young Men as Pilots and Mechanics
Washington, D.C., Jan. 23.—(UP) Tentative administration plans for building a huge air corps reserve for young men were revealed today to Congress working on legislation to keep the country out of war.
Vidal was reluctant to reveal the details of the proposed program but he said he would like to "talk it over later with members of the Committee." He assured the Committee that the McSwain Bill "is a step in the right direction," he added, and concentrated on the development of the number of planes and arms."
The House Military Affairs Committee, considering the McSwan Bill for organization of a junior air corps reserve heard from Eugene T. Vidal, director of the Commerce Bureau of Aeromotorism to possible civilian corps troops. The purpose already had been discussed by "interested authorities."
Proposed moving of the more than 425,000 youth enrolled in the 1500 CCC camps as a basis for developing this reserve "has some assumption," Vidal said, "because it primarily is a civilian group rather than military."
The measure would authorize the Secretary of War to develop a reserve air force by training 18 to 20-year-old youths as pilots and mechanics.
The civil conservation corps youths are enlisted for six-months periods and are employed in road building and forestry and similar work.
There is a direct connection with the War Department already however, with regular army and reserve officers organizing and supervising the camps.
Vidal indicated the program would involve giving the CCC youths opportunity to study aeronautics and with present vocational training courses.
In another Committee hearing—that of the House Naval Affairs Committee on a measure to make the naval reserve more capable, Waldo Brown, war-time pilot, urged that the strength of the naval air reserve be increased to at least 10 aircraft.

The haze of fog is slowly lifting from the goal toward which all students on this campus has been struggling for the past four months. From now on all will gradually find out whether they have been successful, or not; it was better to go to class every day and take notes, or to cut and take a chance on the professors' not caring; whether it was better to keep up in the class and get their lessons every day, or to allow them to bat, and then cram like the very dickens at the

"Castor oil was used by patrician women of Old Rome. They applied it to their faces to improve the complexion."
The Italian drive to the south towards Emperor Halle Seleasia's war headquarters at Dessy had advanced nearly 40 miles at one point and had averaged nine and one half miles along Cambeia battle front, the reports said.

When finals are over and these little postcards which students so kindly left at the desk with their papers come back, they will all be able to point out jetties that are low on sandbars and they will take a solemn oath never to make them again, but June will find the same students doing the same things and swearing the same oath. It has been done ever since people started going to school and will continue for a century.
Noted Japanese Visits U. S.
Kagawa, Japanese sociologist, philosopher, humanitarian, and author, is in the United States where he has been lectures throughout the country.
Kagawa, Considered Outstanding Christian May Speak Here
He is considered the outstanding Christian in the world today, and has been instrumental in bringing about the co-operative movement in Japan. The 47-year-old philosopher gave up the wealth and security of an ancestral home to go down-trodden lower classes for whose betterment, he has always worked.
He has published more than 56 books, but although he receives more than $10,000 a year in royalties, his wife and three children live on $400 a week.
While living in the Japanese capital, Kagawa became convinced that the evils of the present social order were preventing the elevation of the lower classes and he has devoted himself to overcoming these obstacles.
Kagawa will deliver a series of addresses at Duke University the latter part of February, and probably in the summer. She will teach to the university students.

Alfred, N. Y—(UP)—The Student Life Committee of Alfred University has cracked down on student festivals. No longer will big-time bands beat out the dancing rhythm at their social functions.
Victoria records will supply the nurse at all student dances except the Inter-fraternity Ball and the St. Pat's College Dance-Prize-priased "occasus will be hired.
“If the coat of the dance is reduced, the strain on the average student’s budget is relieved, and more men and women can attend.” The committee explained.

Percentage of Men At This University Increases Steadily
The proportion of men at the University of Kansas has been steadily increasing the past ten years, a study of registration figures from the office of Registrar George O. Foster shows. Whereas in 1925 only three students enrolled in the University, the current year there are 14 men to every six women.
Ratio In 1925 of Nine Men For Every Six Women Rises to 14-6 This Year
In the intervening years there had been slow increase, then decrease in 1932 and 1933, and then increase in both ages, with far greater in age far greater in the enrollment of men.
The registrar each year makes registration studies as of Nov. 1, that date representing the maximum enrollment for new students in 1985, the number of men has gone from 2432 to 2191, an increase of 20 percent. The number of women in the University I, Nov. 1, 1925 was 1461, while the number of men in November was 1327, an actual decrease.
Two reasons for this increasing proportion of men are suggested by Ray Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor. For one thing, men are more likely to attempt a college course "on a shoe-string". Some men come to the University with barely enough money to pay fees and buy necessary books, with perhaps room rent for a month, trusting in their own ability to how. Women are more likely not to attempt a college course when money is too scarce.
Another reason suggested is that in many instances the sister remains at home so that brother may go to college, if "the times" make it important for Oleander to study. Secretary for the CSEP students employed on government projects, shows a number of students here this year who are going out been out of college four and give years.
Following is the registration Nov. 1 of each year, and the proportion of men and women:

Nash To Speak at Holton high School Students Interested in Mental Hygiene
Dr. A. B. Nash, head of the psychology department of the department of education, and director of the educational clinic of the University, will visit Holloway at Holton, Kunz, Friday, Feb. 7, to help organize a course in mental health.
Dr. Nash is going to Holton at the invitation of the school authorities. A great deal of interest has been shown in the field of mental hygiene and the need for students with great interest. The fact that 75 of the high school students had requested permission to go through the psychological clinic with Dr. Kelly, a few days ago, indicates the enthusiasm and interest in the mental hygiene and personality adjustments.
D. Nash will speak to the mental by-
gene class during the morning of February 7. He will also give an address at the Rotary luncheon, and at 3 p.m., address a combined group of teachers and parents in the high school auditorium.
He is interested in the growth and personality adjustment of the youth of the nation. His lectures will undoubtedly be of that nature. Dr Nash had had much experience in mental hygiene work.
He has been at the University since 1932. Before that time he had been at Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia for ten years and in time Dr. Nash is president of the Kansas Psychological Association and of the Kansas State Society for Mental Health.
He is chairman of the state P.T.A. committee for Mental Hygiene, and is also chairman of the Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas district Kwansi committee, which is directing some very explicit cases among under-privileged children.
