FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1935
SWEETS AND BITTERS
Wednesday night the students of the University were afforded the exceptional opportunity of hearing one of the world's foremost violinists. It was a beautiful and inspiring concert and the School of Fine Arts is to be congratulated for securing the artist.
The School of Fine Arts is to be congratulated and possibly criticized—criticized because of what seemed unfair discrimination against students. Seats usually reserved for students were sold to outsiders, and many students were placed in seats in the top balcony and some few were forced to sit on anything convenient.
The Concert Series should afford students an opportunity to hear great artists for they are assessed money for these concerts through activity tickets. Students are grateful for the opportunity, but they want to hear these concerts and want to feel that they are partly responsible for the concerts, rather than just a necessary addition.
ARE YOU BEING EDUCATED?
With everything forgiven and a yearly pension of $15,000 a year in sight it would be hard for Jimmy Walker to think up any good reason for not coming back—Cincinnati Inquirer.
You students, are you taking advantage of everything that is offered at the University? Within the last few days two famous personages have been on the campus. They are individuals that perhaps most of you will be unable to see or hear again. During the school year many such people pass before your eyes, within the reach of every student.
Part of your college education is in the contact with unusual and successful people. They're here, you've paid for the privilege of seeing and hearing them, and to miss them would be to deny yourself an opportunity that would far outweigh any monetary loss. Attend these concerts and lectures, they're for your own good and only you yourself are the loser.

It is astounding to learn that in the part, one-fourth of the freshman men have controlled freshmen elections. This minority, composed of the fraternity men, has been so well organized that it has carried the election, while the 75 percent of non-fraternity men have had little influence in the matter.
This domination by fraternities has been the result of lack of interest in politics by the mass of students. A great percentage of the independent men have not been interested enough to vote.
u is true that the fraternity-controlled machine has, in some instances, placed non-fraternity men on the ticket. However, these candidates are merely figureheads for the frat men.
This year, for the first time, the independent freshmen are placing in the field a ticket composed entirely of non-freerunner men. If the independent freshmen, who constitute about three-fourths of the class, will support their candidates, they will gain for themselves some representation in class politics. E.S.

It's bad enough for the School of Fro Arts to sell part of the seats reserved for students for the Kreiker concert, but to me the most despicable part of the whole concert was the behavior of some of the students.
Wednesday night the University of Kansas entertained a world renowned artist. Now, everyone knows that when an artist is being entertained, that guest should have every bit of attention and respect that it is possible to give. What, dare you say? I don't care, if they do, in all men either, that felt the need of a cigarette so badly that they had to leave the auditorium during in-
termination, and wait to return to their soots until after Mr. Kreisler had begun to play his next selection?
There was so much confusion with mixed-up reserved seats that there was noise during most of the concert, but when the students of the entertaining school are so rude to interrupt the artist, we cannot expect our guests to
The middle western part of the United States, which includes Kamas, is often criticized for its lack of culture and music appreciation. Can the critics be blamed when an audience behaves as it did Wednesday; RF.
Editor Daily Kawai:
Well, it looks like the old mercury principle brings our educational system again. Why shouldn't it? The question is why should we be using mercury as a standard in the education system?
Quoting from the Kansas, Oct. 20, 1935: "All students should go early to the Krakoriser concert in order to get good seats. MANY OF THE SEATS, USUALLY RESERVED FOR STUDENTS, HAVE BEEN SOLD. The door will open at 7:20." Signed, Dean D. M. Swartouth, School of Fine Arts.
Why shouldn't they sell the seats reserved for the students? These concerts aren't for the students anyway. They're to make money. Sell the ticket to students by enforced activity tickets. Hall of the students won't come (and they can't resell or give away their tickets), then teachers can sell them. Can sell the tickets again, just not that tight!
It might have been, but a peculiar thing happened at the Kreisler concert Wednesday night. Most of all the students did come, and a good number of their seats were sold! Fifty or more were herded onto the platform, and the rest went to the last seats in the third balcony, or stood or sat on the cement steps in the aisles of the balcony.
This activity ticket is well worth all we pay for it. But should the students, who help make these concerts possible, be deprived of the seats they pay for? If we can't give our tickets away, the Fine Arts department certainly should provide them.
Why not be fair about it? If you sell the students' tickets, you are stealing their seats. You owe them a refund. One was turned away, but look where some of the attention was given to him. You should have a principle when you can make a dollar! Signed, B.E.

Such utterly unfounded claims as were printed on the handball put out by the group called Pachacamacs this morning, constitute an entirely new political device to my way of thinking. It has always been my opinion that at least a grain of truth should be present in any political charge. These charges and accusations of underhanded deals by our group are not distortions, for a distortion usually has its beginning in some scrap of truth—no, these are not distortions of any truth, they are pure and absolute untruths, with no basis whatsoever. The Pachacamacs district must keep their own members in the dark as to the real merit of our independent movement.
Purchasers ask if their opposition is an independent organization, and if so why did a meeting take place in their name.
Our answer is that the organization is independent of any political organization, and that if there was any sort of meeting having anything to do with our movement, in any fraternity house, it was entirely without the knowledge of our members. I can truthfully say that no fraternity has had anything to do with our organization.
They ask, with some sort of an allusion about "mysterious sources," where our money comes from.
The small amount of money required to finance our movement has been obtained from free-will offerings (of not more than five cents from each man) at some of our restaurants, stores and sources, any statements to the contrary notwithstanding.
The group called PS GL, did not come out into the open and present candidates, is more than I am capable of answering, as I do not understand the工作的 of "political minds." I know nothing of the activities of any political group in the coming election except those tactics employed by the Pacchacamacs.
To the question as to why certain freshmen removed their pledge buttons and attended our meetings I can answer only that to my knowledge there have been no fraternity nont at our meetings. As secretary of this independent group, I am in a position to know who is present with them. Is it possible that question better than any uninformed Pachacamea?
The question about the election of officers of our organization, and the rather positive, but entirely unfounded answer to my questions was to me a gross abundance. We were elected at one of our brief meetings by the entire group and were not radiofied. I should never be surprised.
There is one question I like to raise—who finances the Pachaacamacs, both lightmen and upperclassmen organizations, the fraternity or non-fraternity men, and who thereby controls the organization?
I sincerely hope that this letter sets alight any false impressions that may have been made by the silly handwriting.

The Freshman Independent Movement.

PAWNEE BILL WAS CRUSADER. GUN FIGHTER. AND SHOWMAN
One of the last links between the pioneer days of the saddle horse, the prairie schoenner and a quick trigger hand and the modern mode of automobile, airplanes and streamlined trainers, Major Gordon (Powell Billy Lillie)
Recollections When Pawnee Bill Lived in Kansas in the Days Of the "Boomer" Movement
The contemporaries of Favrine Bill in the old frontiers will—Wilson (Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild Bill Hickok, But Matern-ward before him, but the aged frontierman made the transition from the old days to the new gracefully. His stories of the old days were humiliates, and his happenings of the day were as great.
The prancing horses he rode when Kansas was little more than a wilderness and Oklahoma only an unsettled territory sacred to the Indians had been left untouched. He did most of his own driving. The transition also was noted in his dress, for when the occasion called he laid aside the high heeled boots and the cream colored gallon sumiromer for the dinner skirt and the black patent leather shoes.
An Indian fighter in the days of the Kansas "boomer" movement, Major Lillie became one of the best friends the reservation-bound Indians ever had. He was accepted into the Pawnee tribe and tarned a chief. His ranch was a popular hunting spot in Indian pow-wow, with hundreds of the Pawnee tribe camped on his acres.
Made Pawnee Chief
Paunece Bill was born at Bloomington, Ill., in 1816, of Scotch and Irish descent, and although boasting no physical he developed his body, be-wareed of its inner strength and burdened for the long days in the middle that were to come.
It was there that Pawnee Bill met Capt. David Payne, Civil War veteran, former bookkeeper of the House of Representatives and originator of the Declaration, who finally caused the government to open Oklahoma territory to settlers. Payne, many years older than younger Lifes, had a profound influence on his early
The western fever caught his fancy early and it was his constant persuasion that finally caused his parents and the family to push westward by prairie schoenner. They settled near the town of Wichita, lived in a log and ad cub, and planted their land and killed the wild game for their fresh meat!
Influenced by Payne
Lille was attracted by Payne's ability to lead men and his sagacious counsel; Payne admired the younger man for his vivacious vitality and his ever-lasting fond of ideas and plans. Payne's "become" already did more than the Kansas and settle in Oklahoma, but government troops lined the border and repelled efforts of the whites to cross. The country seethed over the question. It was in such times that young Lille now tucked on the door of the Buffalo Bill's Museum, an office of President Rutherford Hayes against invasion of the Indian lands.
"It is foolishness and cowardice to issue such a proclamation," said Lillie. "That land is public domain and if congress had any spine it would open it up and provide homes for thousands who would turn the land to vene use."
The challenge caught the fancy of the rough and determined pioneers. The words were repeated and the sentiments enlarged upon. Payne recruited new

Lillie still was in the East with his show when Payne died and the "bouner" movement, due to lack of constructive leadership, began to sack him.

Payne jumped at the offer, Bands met him on his return to Kanes and the campman went on. The goal was attained in 1889 when the government sent additional bands for additional landmass lands.

Teamed With Buffalo Bill
This time he was for more successful, for he traumatized with one of the greatest, Duffafta Bill. When he retired in 1913 he had ample wealth and the best and health to enjoy it. A ranch was purchased at Powness, Ohio. One of his first sets was to stock it with a water fountain. He knew the big animals were doomed to extinction unless protected.
On the highway, near here, is "Oma Town," "out where the west remains"—a couple of a frontier trading post. Thousands of tourists stop there annually to plunge a thwackle from the old days and buy carriages from the Pawnee Indians. In 1850 Lillie gave her husband Lillian. In a sense it is a commercial project.
