TUESDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 26.1935
A WORD TO THE WISE
Books will be tossed aside Wednesday morning while a varied array of hilarious trumpst storm the campus, rally all over Lawrence and generally stir up a commotion that will reverberate clear to Kansas City. Old Doe Yak as head hob will dish out generous portions of his unadulterated Tiger poison, and even old grads who have arrived early for homecoming will find themselves drawn into the celebration. It is bound to be a great day when 4000 students cut loose.
Now without being a wet smack, or any ally form of joy-killer, the Kansan would like to offer a plea that students be orderly in their disorder. Of course it's all right to make of yourself any type of spectacle that you wish, for, after all you will be only one in a thousand, but lets give this celebration that collegiate touch, that sophisticated flavor that will make it something more than a mere display of uncontrolled rowdyism. Lets be hobos, not roughnecks.
BEING THANKFUL
An Indianapolis plumber found a jug of colorless liquid in a vacant house. Five persons drank and the first returns showed two dead and three critically ill. It developed that the liquid was a paint remover, which could easily double into the role of fool remover—Pittsburgh Headlight.
The Pilgrim Fathers in an effort to show their gratitude for being able to escape the privations of their time set aside a special day for praise and giving thanks. While the exact procedure that was carried on is unfamiliar to us, we yet celebrate a similar holiday.
First, he is thankful for the Pilgrim Fathers, without whom this brief respite from studies might not have been possible.
Although the college student does not spend his day in the same manner as they, he is equally thankful for many blessings. Blessings that are peculiar to his special group.
Secondly, he is thankful that the mid-term quizzes and notebook preparation are over and he may again assume his intellectual tenness.
Then he is thankful that the administration saw fit to give us Wednesday morning for Hobo Day, thus extending the vacation.
Finally, he is thankful that he may soon return to the old home town and command the admiration of those who consider the college man or woman an idol.
Perhaps before the day is past he may be yet more thankful. Maybe Kansas will beat Missouri and the administration will grant a further extension of the vacation to Tuesday morning or the mid-messtern grade that was expected to be unsatisfactory might be otherwise. For these things he could be truly thankful.
Our Contemporaries
THE NATIONAL, YOUTH ADMINISTRATION
The Vermont County
We hear a lot about the N.Y.A. these days. Many of us are glad to avail ourselves of money which comes from no one knows where, but which is available for jobs from endowing to raking leaves. But most of us don't realize the amount and source of this supply of funds.
Under the National Youth Administration, financial and
over to 100,000 students in 1,344 schools and university
offices. The monthly cost of this aid is $1,563,795 and is divided
according to coefficient and number of institutions it
Of this total, the eleven institutions in Vermont, aiding 533 students, receive $5.28 million, more than half of these students are on our campus. There is an or-ganizational base under the chairmanship of Professor Butterfield.
The quota to receive aid at each college is 12 percent of the enrollment as taken on 15, 1934. Selection of
three to receive the jobs is from those who otherwise could not remain in college. One student can earn as much as $820 a month, but the allotment of funds is on the basis of 313 a month for the 12 percent of its enroll-
Last year there was considerable agitation on various compulsions against such so-called "hand-out". The prelident of Williams College, for example, refused to take this money from the government for some time.
There is a great deal of criticism of the present government's spending splurge. The billions of the public debt make thoughtful citizens wonder what the future will bring. But as long as the government does find it worthwhile to invest in programs justified in claiming a small portion of it for just such a thing as this N.Y.A. fund. Everything is being done for the fellow who wants a job on public works, but not much is being done to encourage young people to continue their education. Therefore, we feel encouraged by this initiative from West Virginia. We want to help them stay in college all over the country, we feel that at least one part of the New Deal is more than a political move or a noble gesture.
Campus Opinion
Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daly Kenan. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions on any subject are invited.
The cops are coming! Back home the student's parents read with horror these terrifying statements. Why should the athletic department need to hire detectives? How can they avoid a backlash when the statement "Now that someone is attempting to make a profit for himself, at the expense of the athletic department, we must withdraw this privilege of exchanging their names for publicity."
An innocent enough statement on the face, but much has been left untold. Whether the students go to the game or not, matter little to the athletic department—who knows what is going on at the university. Students have no choice in buying the season football ticket; these tickets are forced upon them with the rest of their fees. The choice of student seats is marvelous—another gift of the generous athletic department and a welcome addition to the school's identity with the sum at his back, or between the one to 50 yard line, with the sun in his face. The choice seats are saved for the "paying customers." The students don't pay the money is taken from them—a typical demonstration of how the college office in its dealings with the students at the University.
Now when some of the students, who didn't want to buy the tickets in the first place, try to redeem a small part of the money they have poured into the muew of the athletic department, by selling the tickets for $5e or so at the Homecoming game, Dr. Allen cracks the whip- and all heads bow. Well, don't forget this," Our Director", the Cars of Russia did the same thing for certain teams. "They are handcuffed of the athletic department and Dr. Allen will go a little too far one of these days, and then . . .
And so it is fitting that *opn* "Savir" Allen should go crying to the cops, and spend a large amount of money to keep the students (the big brutes) from taking ad-dress to the dressing room. The dollars—the unappreciative racketeers. Just imagine the student trying to make money off the athletic department! Of course nothing can be said about the complimentary pass that is given Dr. Allen by one of the students. And so we just attend the theater, drive around the track inside the stadium.
How about the police who are given complimentary tickets? At last Saturday's game instructions were given to the boys on the gate to try and get tickets out of the back of the basketball hoop in the athletic department, BUT MANY OF THEM HAD GIVEN TICKETS AWAY IF THEY (THE GOODGE GIRL) LITTLE BACK, LET THEM IN WITHOUT TICKETS!
Yes, it is a great democratic institution which we at-
tend. -M.M.

Embryonic Politicians Have Their Troubles
WANTED: GATEMEN: Ten men wanted to work at the Missouri-Kansas game on Thursday.
Battleground Is Not the Same Old Fighting Roman Arena
The empus political groups have refuted the old belief that a leopard cannot change his speex. Several of them were killed by a deputy, decided that there was more ploy, and possibly more preminary reward, to be won on the battleground of national politics, so they emerged under the leadership of one on the other national parties.

W. A. A. MEETING. There will be a meeting of W.A.A. this afternoon at the gym. Large Mattress, gym
This metamorphosis was not accomplished without a considerable strain on the bonds of membership, and numbers of benchmen spilled over the sides of the political table and into the room where they were lurking underneath. The meetings of the new organizations are some what reminiscent of the saloon under the repel act, with the leaders fearfully peering out from barred doors, although the administration is willing, though the administration can't get their opinions off their chests.
The old arena just doesn't seem the same, with the political nobles neglecting the cures of local squabbles to assume the burdens of straightening things out in more widely scattered parts of this vale of tears. There are now four separate and distinct capitals, enouncing the cause of free thought.
Charles Anderson, erstwhile leader of the PSGI party, is now in control of the destinies of the Young Democrats on the campus, having bequeathed his old job to his friend Meienlau Latrus. He now accuses the young man under Quentin Brown's banner of being Reaganian favorites, and his foresees an early coalition of the Young Republicans and the Landon Club, headed by Schiller Shore.
Logan Lane, the harried treasurer of the Men's Student Council, has been kept busy guarding the council's moneybags from Hill organizations feel that the MSC is an ever-flowing fountain of funds. He did not contemplate several items in his budget which have now appeared and demand attention. The Homecoming committee wanted some for prizes for decorations at the annual fundraiser to have award prizes to students who write the best Hall correspondence.
The Pachacamacs are making a diligent, but dilatory effort to gain control of the Council. They received a challenge from three of their legislators were ineligible, and now they are striving to insert substitutes of their own political faith in the breach. In the absence of a strong opposition, that pPSL has the majority, so the Pachacamacs are worrying John Murray, to see if they cannot shake him loose from his position. He insists he cannot counter him, however, that he is still vulnerable.
The recent activities of the freshmen remind one of the story of the small boy who was forcibly introduced to a bottle of oil liver lilow. When she started diminishing, her mother day discovered the lad with the bottle on high. The freshmen, now that they are no longer forced to wear the cap, are agitating for permission to wear it and attend football games in a body composition so the Council slightly but ity granted the strange request.
One youth, suffering from just-killer an-exeminis, said he felt "like h had butterflies in his stomach." Pretty aptly, we call it, he

Two men students attending the K-U-M. U game got caught with their—(shoes)—off. You see when boarding the train at Columbia they had to wade mud. Then their shoes were put on the wrong train and the boys found themselves without them when they boarded the correct train. Arriving in Columbia, they met the lobby of the station to prove that they had none on their feet. The end of the story was that the boys both had an extra pair in Lawrence.
Country clubs are being formed at the University, the object of which it to provide social gatherings of the perennial at the University from the same county.
Staff members of the Kannan and journalism students have decided to wear overtrousers pants to distinguish themselves from other members of the team. They are also wearing when the Kannan printed what they wanted to print and it would be an honor to be distinguished from others. Staff members now fly dressing like other people.
Boxing matches will feature the Football smoker hold annually after every football season—Ten plays have been turned in by students in the University of Texas. The play will be produced in the Spring by the group—The Kanan says that the University is too small and inadequate compared to the fine building that Nebraska has. (Miss. Walkins pretested that situation, Thank you.)
A movement has been started to put the golf links in playing condition for next spring. (1955—We have given up —The links hasn't been in playing condition for years. Fidelity the process, because for many years the course was open—Now it is nothing more than a few rather un-beautiful acres.)
Huge Birds Once Flew Over Oceans in Kansas
Beasts of Enormous Size Left Their Marks on Fossils
Flying creatures with a wing-spread of 25 feet live in what is now Kansas, together with many other beasts of marvelous size, and of horrifying appearance. Something of the story that probabilistic fossil fell was related recently by Norman D. Newell, instructor in geology at Iowa State University, for the university's station, KEKI.
Over the ages, Mr. Newell explained, Kansas has had all extreme soil climate, from the warm humid climate of the sub-tropic jungle to the extreme acidity of a Sahara, and the bitter cold of the arctic. These variations in climate had brought their corresponding changes in the sorts of animals that have inhabited the region, including the monkeys. Some are world-famous for the variety of specimens they afford.
Near Elmo, south of Abilene, was dis
Far western Kansas has the most fowl birds of any place in the world. Curiously enough, these fowl birds have a beak that is flat and broad, both obviously able to swim. One was a there bird with powerful wings, another was a there bird with diving bird with a length of about
The giant flying creatures with the 35-foot wingspread were more likely a form of witted reptiles. The fossils, Mr. Newell suggest, may be more venturesome than some who get it wrong. The fossils that covered Kansas at the time, their bones settling into the bottom that later became stone. Large turtles of kinds which live in the sea are occasionally found in western Kansas formations. Some are of enormous size. One complete specimen is feet long and 12 feet across the flippers.
Horses in now known are descendants of horses brought by settlers following Columbus, but the rocks of Kannas contain fossils of horses extinct before the coming of the white man. The oldest of these was a small-signee animal, named Giraffe, who had been grazing, its kind feet had three toes and its front foot had four toe scars.
Such animals as the camel, elephant,
and rhinoceros, now found only in
Asia and Africa, were formerly abund-
ing mammals, were their unmistakable
