UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
By JOE HOLLOWAY, c'35
This Is a Real Letter . . . Pretty Long But Not Boring . . . We Have Peacocks in College . . . and What's Left.
The letter business is certainly getting better-or worse, just as you see it on television or in the mail. We have a well founded basis of protest to work on.
NUMBER 150
I have waited patiently for you to make some nasty crack about the way our young city's police department misheared last Saturday night, but as you have not done so I am suggesting that you do.
Although I was lucky enough to be out of town on that fatal evening, several of my dearest friends have been complaining of the lack of a mental guard department handled them. You know it isn't exactly a pleasant experience for a scholar to be grasped by his collar and jerked abruptly to the ground. But he is also a gentleman, and especially when he has been behaving as a scholar and a gentleman should. I believe that under such conditions I should have done! (You win so far my friend)
After all, Lawrence would hardly need a police department for the size of town it would be without the University, and the students make the University, for the buildings that they were empty; or perhaps they could be more profitably used as storage bins or something (Irrelevant to say the least, but it is a good idea anyway). Well why, without the students there would be a much smaller town than the University there would be a much smaller town and so in turn a smaller police department (if any) and some of our splendid, upstanding, officers who spend their time degrading themselves by collating students would have to suck
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
The conduct of a certain member of the force was particularly called to my attention because of his unwounded armenian body. He was also the sheep in wolfs clothing of the whole force, pretending to be the student's friend when he meets them on the street, and then acting in the disguise of the officer discussed in the paragraph above.
Well Joe, I guess that is all—I don't know whether you will do print this letter even if it would pass the Kansan's censors, not you? "do—hudaut" you heard my friend?) If you can and will you are perfectly free to use all or none.
One of your nearest roads
Sincerely yours.
One of your devout readers. Well, that is quite a letter friend XXX. Since the letter is the type that it is—even though it seems to express disgust at some kind of behavior on the present event—we might have some qualms about running it, but we've said that we'll publish letters and we still make good on it.
We have been requested to inquire about a couple of peacocks that were seen crossing Oread the other day. They were much alone and the observer insists that he has never before seen any around here and he's been here for four years—in fact the only one he has ever seen. He knows that he knows what peacocks look like and he couldn't have been mistaken. We wish that anyone who knows about these birds would let us know so we could tell Sammy Sas he wasn't crazy and seeing things—and he should know himself if he was

We have been asked that the Union, fountain men chip their ice a little smaller--Juniper Dickinson says that the men are hard to get out of a coke glass.
What's Left--Did you know that Dale Maxwell always takes a pillow with him when he goes on steak fries?
... and the lady who owns the house
where he stays is getting a trifle sore
because he wants her to come out.

it on the desk or in the closet?

Amelia Earhart Putnam
Adds Mexico City Flight
to Air Records
Newark, NJ, Airport, May 8 – (U-3)
—Amelia Earhardt Putman tonight completed the first non-stop flight from Mexico City to greater New York when she landed here at 10:30 p.m. eastern daylight time (8:30 C.S.T). The aviatrix and her single motored Lockheed monoplane glided down into the field of this airplane's lights ahead of sched-ing that had been expected 30 or 45 minutes later.
Police struggled in to vain to prevent the rush toward the big high-winged monoplane in which Mrs. Putnam calmly waited.
Aviators who waited at the administration building for Mrs. Putnam to arrive calculated her average speed at 140 miles per hour.
Despite the hazard of the trip—the mountains of eastern Mexico, the 700 miles over the gulf, and stormy weather over the southern part of the United States—she came in like an air liner on scheduled run.
Her husband bustled her into his au tomobile, then jumped into another car which sped across the field with goose sounding. The crowd rushed to the scene, and then discovered the subterfuge and crowded around Mrs. Putnam's car.
