THURSDAY OCTOBER 19.1933 ACTIVITY BOOK STAND Recently the Kansan has been criticized for its stand on the compulsory activity plan. Some of these charges have revealed that its position is not understood; in order to clarify the situation we here state our position. The Kansan is not fighting the activity ticket. The criticisms it has offered have been made in good faith and in the hope that the injustices and imperfections of the plan will be remedied. For example, students were not informed before they voted on the new plan that they would be required to take second-choice seats in the stadium and auditorium. If they had been we doubt seriously whether the plan would have passed; in justice to the student, therefore, he should be given the same choice of seats he is supposed to have had formerly The Kansan realized before starting to discuss the subject, and has been reminded several times since, that there are two sides to the question. Problems of financing aside from the revenue from the activity ticket will arise, naturally; but why were they not made clear when the plan was under discussion last spring? We cannot agree that the plan is solely a boon to the students for without the compulsory fee some of the activities included on the ticket would have been unable to continue this year. Yet, in spite of these difficulties the Kansan is more than willing to see the plan given a fair trial. But it will continue to call attention to such weaknesses as it may see in the administration of the plan. This is a difficult year to try to start the compulsory fee plan, as evidenced by the number of applications for exemptions both here and at other schools. The University had more than 600 such applications, Missouri and Kansas State had approximately 500 each and Indiana more than 600. Quantrell would never be able to make his raid on Lawrence today. He would be run over before he got down the Hill. OLD SNOW The ivy-covered walls of old Snow hall that sheltered twittering sparrows last fall, and its quaint chateau-like turrets protruding from its roof, have fallen in ruins under the hands of workmen. A few years ago Old Snow was condemned. Its dilapidated classrooms were emptied of equipment; its battered old doors were locked. No one crossed its stepgrooved threshold any more, and only the echo of trampling feet filled its halls as medical science students passed by on their way to New Snow. Last fall the workmen came. With pick and hammer they tore the old building down. Trucks carried the debris away. To the materialist, the place where old Snow stood is now an eye sore, marring the beauty of the Watson library rearing itself behind the ruins. To the idealist, the ruins of the old building are a symbol of change and civilization. In a little while the ruins, too, will disappear. Winter snows will cover them; spring rains and sunshine will mingle with its stones. Then new life, another symbol of change, will spring from the crumbled foundations. "Teeth for NRA" reads a newspaper headline. The NRA is pretty young to be having teeth already, isn't it? AUTUMN FEVER Though the pages of every medical book were to be scanned, no mention will be found of "autumn fever." Yet none will leny that it exists. At least no one who has lived under the spell of Kansas autumns will do so. Americans, Kansans not excepted, have ceased to walk since the advent of the automobile, but when autumn comes—well, it is different. The tinge in the wind seems to stimulate an urge for activity. The hazy blueness of Blue Mound calls enticingly to the hiking spirit in every student. The colorful hillsides that flank Mt. Oread invite adventurous tramps in solitude or in company Looking down in the surrounding valley that lies like an enchanted wood, spirals of smoke point to the sky, luring the observer with their romantic suggestion of gypsies on the road or Indians on the trait. Even the sluggish Kaw seems enchanted, and its muddy waters reflect the infinite blue skies. Along its cottonwooded banks where little trails wind in and out, and muffled lapping of waters is caught by the listening ear, the lonely hiker will find rest for his wandering feet. Vagrancy dominates the heart, setting wings upon the lagging spirits and magic sandals on these shuffling feet. For this is October, and who is not blessed with "autumn fever"? Campus Opinion POLICY STATEMENT Editor Daily Kansan: Several years ago I went to Columbia, Mo., to the K.U.-M.U. football game. Missouri gave Kansas a terrible beating. They even ran a kickoff through Kansas for a touchdown. The Kansas crowd was chagrined at the showing made by the football team. BUT the Kansas band, under the direction of Mac, was glorious. It took the field marched and moved down the Mississippi. It played Missouri's own song "Dear better than the Missouri band played it. It was the better band in every respect. Every Kansan there was proud of the K.U. band. I have seen Mac in action recently and know that he has not lost his power. He is one of the best, if not the best band director in the "Big Sick." His bands are able to compete with the best in every field. The most distinctive piece is an exacting task master, but he has the love and respect of all the men who have played under him. The K.U. band is one of the finest organizations in Kansas University. It merits the wholehearted support of the student body and officials of the University. Too frequently it has been neglected and compelled to struggle with the challenges of instruction. It has never received the support and recognition it justly deserves. The idea of a prancing drum major is unnecessary and uncalled for. When last year it was announced that Mac was relieved and a "hired drum major" employed to lead the K.U. band, I could hardly believe it. Such is not in keeping with the dignity of Kansas University or the K.U. band. If the officials desire a show let them hire a jazz band and some tap dancers. The demands of the band as indicated by the papers are reasonable and should be granted. No good reason can be advanced for a refusal to meet them. They should have been given to the band as their bandmate, but the band as only Mac can run it and give the band boys the things that they are asking and should rightfully have. Don H. Postlethwaite, 1'26. Editor Daily Kansas: In the Kansas City Journal-Post of Tennessewere appeared a small news item that is significant of something, whatever it may be. Editor Daily Kansan: OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN CHESS CLUB: Notices due at Cancellor's Office at 11 a. m. on regular afternoon publication days and 11.30 a. m. for Sunday issues. The University Chess club will hold its first meeting tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 at the Astronomy building. Everyone interested in chess is invited.

This meeting will be brief. CLYDE COFFMAN, President. PI EPSILON PI: There will be an important meeting of the Ku Ku's tonight at 7:30 in fraser hall. HAIRY F. JOHNSON, President. COSMOPOLITAN CLUB: Members and friends of the Cosmopolitan club who are planning to attend the joint picnic of the K, U, and K, S, C. Cosmopolitan club chapters o be held at St. Mary's are expected to be in front of the Robinson gymnasium at 9:00 o clock sharp, Sunday morning, Oct. 22. The gist of the article is that the University officials at Tulsa have agreed to pay the expenses of our band to the Tulsa game, provided that the Kansas share of the gate receipts do not amount to more than $5,000. If our share of the gate receipts should amount to more than this amount, the Tulsa officials are willing to halve the band expense with our athletic department. This sounds like a proposition on which the athletic department could hardly lose, and in which it could afford to invest a little, but the news item states that the athletic department turned its thumb down and its nose up because our band seems to be in a little muddle. It is granted that the band is in a mess, but whatever breaks it may get will be far from the reward it deserves. If the band is in a little trouble it should receive a helping hand. The band has been extending a helping hand for years and has had little in return, but now that it has the nerve to ask favors, people seemed shocked. It seems like the athlete has passed up a chance to help a friend in need that has always done its little bit to add to the athlete at athletic events. Beguiled persons once thought that K. U. is operated for the benefit of its student body, but attendance there has disillusioned them. Now they are ready to argue on the same premises that the MIGUEL R. AGUILAR. nickel-smatchers and advertising agents use. Here is the argument: Would not the appearance of the K.U. band at the Tulsa game be worth a little in advertising? There are still some people in this world that are interested in bands, though it is doubtful if anyone would come out just to hear a university band. Now for the alumni—don't you think that there might be an old grad or two in Tulsa that would be proud to brag to his friends at the game that he once played the cymbals, or the fifth peek-knin, in that band. Well, the writer of this feels better now, and it is hoped that there must have been some mistake in that article in the Journal-Post. Surely the athletic department would not be so rudely ungrateful. However if such is true, the band boys could not be blamed for striking just before the Kansas State game. Yours, but with my name John E. Avers Editor Daily Kansan: "Jake" says Cynicky Phin is a woman. I say he isn't. Joke bases his argument solely on Cynicky Phin's name. No woman would choose herself a name like that anymore than she would paint crow's feet on her face. She could add remarks about potatoes and tomatoes, but she would give herself a prettier name.

Here local dealers are listed beneath the trade-marks of advertised products—such as Plymouth, Greyhound Lines, Exide, RCA Victor. This service helps manufacturers to reduce substitution, helps dealers to increase sales, helps you to locate the brand you want. Today's intense competition calls for new and more effective merchandising methods. Several plans pioneered by Bell System men are proving helpful.
