It Looks This Way...
By Jack Harrison
People ask the stupidest questions. Sometimes they just seem to beg for a fist in the face or a swift kick in the seat of the pants.
HERE WAS THE TIME a young lady put her dainty foot down on a patch of ice, did a one-and-a-half front giner and lit solidly on her posterior.
As she lay sobbing on the wet ground, a big strong, chivalrous type strolled up, slowly took a
puff on his cigarette, leaned over her and inquired politely: "Are you hurt?"
THAT'S WHEN we'd like to see her leap to her feet, grab an umbrella from a passing professor and proceed to pound the inquiring gentleman's thick skull, as she screams at him: "No. I'm not hurt, you stupid clod! I like to crack my back-bone on this crazy ice! And I just happened to get a speck of dirt in my eye, that's all."
Then there was the friendly soul who stopped and surveyed the helpless efforts of a driver whose spinning rear wheels slowly were digging a ditch into a snowbank.
to a snowbank:
"Need a push?" the friend of man asked with a slow smile.
THE DRIVER SHOULD just as politely answer, as he hurls a tire iron at the meddler: "No, I don't need a push. I'm drilling for oil. And you better watch out — people sometimes get broken skulls around drilling rigs."
And there was the young genius who was flashing his paper, with a big bright 98 on it, around after class. He craned his neck over a fellow's shoulder to look at his paper, and remarked in a thundering stage whisper: "Flunked it, didn't you?"
WHY NOT CRAM that pretty 98 down his healthy throat? And inform him: "This is golf, you know, buster, and I happen to be below par."
Some people just talk too much.
Censorship?
Editor:
This letter is an answer to a previously printed charge against the 1960 Rock Chalk Revue on its alleged "smut." It is not our position to defend the ethics of the participating houses. However, we feel it necessary to mention that this year as in the past the Revue is not censored. We tell each skit's house director that their material should not contain anything that will offend the audience. In fact several lines were removed as a result of these recommendations. These directors are warned that the six judges will grade down on anything they feel infringes on the audience's sense of decency. This factor was obvious in the results of this year's show. It is only possible to censor material up 'til performance then it falls into the hands of the audience and the judges.
The area of censorship is a touchy one especially in the state of Kansas with their over-active board of motion picture review. When censorship is begun where does it stop? It is true that we do not condone obvious "off-color" jokes, yet there is such a thing as good sophisticated humor. When a line leaves the audience two particular interpretations it is then considered acceptable humor. The quality of amateur writing can easily be criticized, the realm of intent is entirely another matter. When the heavy hand of censorship is applied the hopes of having a spirited, creative student body is seriously hammered

Murphy Praised
With the news of Dr. Murphy's resignation, even the foreign students "on the hill" feel along with the 8,500 students at K.U. that their school has lost an eminent dynamic leader — one whom they have grown, in
Editor:
The continuous efforts of the Chancellor to develop K.U. into being a leading university in this country have been made obvious to us in the two semesters we have been here, and all too unfortunately we have witnessed the deadlock which can be precipitated by pigeheaded paranoic politicians in the fight for better university facilities. It has been said frequently of the Chancellor that he "has money on the brain" but, what some politicians — and indeed perhaps not a few Kansas voters — forget is that a school cannot develop without hard cash. New colleges, more staff, higher salaries, better instructional materials, Residence Halls, to mention only the obvious points — all need financing. It is to Dr. Murphy's great credit that he has championed all these points.
All KU students and alumni who are eager to see their Alma Mater rising to occupy a leading place among the great schools of this nation cannot but note with regret the resignation of a man who has given of his total energy towards making KU a great name in schools of Higher Education.

sponsoring organizations (Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity) representation on the board by two-thirds, and establish Alpha Delta Sigma, men's professional advertising fraternity, on the editing board.
'Spectrum' Bill
We foreign students are proud to be able to return to our respective countries at the end of this current semester having attended a KU whose chief administrator is a real force in advancing education in this country. We regret only that KU is losing such a devoted son. We cannot but join with many fellow-students in wishing the Chancellor the best in his new position at Los Angeles, where we pray, greater cooperation between politics and higher education exists.

In commenting on the bill as a whole, Miller said.
W. Hay Taylor Banffshire, Scotland Graduate Student
"I cannot object to an ASC publications committee member wanting to make a change on the editing board. However, I can and do object to the method that has been used by Fowler and Epps.
"Not one member of the editing board, outside Chaney, was ever consulted on this. The five members who were not consulted were those who were instrumental in the conception and birth of the magazine.
Three more engineering professors have left KU for better salary and research facilities. Soon the students will be leaving for better teachers.
"The ASC insisted that a special clause in the present bill be included establishing a governing board for Spectrum. This board was designed to handle situations such as this.
Never Consulted
Yet these gentlemen (Epps and Fowler) decided to ram this thing through without following procedure provided for in the ASC bill.

All Fraternity Brothers
"I wonder how much the fact that Epps, Fowler and Chaney are all fraternity brothers has to do with it. The Delta Chi men really seem to be moving in on the publishing game on the campus. Epps happens to be a member of the fraternity he is trying to get on the Spectrum board by this bill."
A movement to kill the bill was started shortly after it was introduced to the ASC.
Fowler told Kansan reporters last night that he would take steps to withdraw the bill, and re-introduce it through proper channels.
"I had no idea you would feel this way about the bill." Fowler told Spectrum editors last night.
When Chaney was called by reporters about the bill he denied any knowledge about it. Fowler admitted that he had been in error in putting Chaney's name on the bill.
Bobby Boyd has been told he will be tried at defensive halfback next fall by the Baltimore Colts.
O'Donoghue Asks Authority To File Charges On Hoffa
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Martin F. O'Donoghue, chairman of a court-appointed "watchdog" group, said today he will soon ask a federal judge for authority to file new corruption charges seeking removal of James R. Hofta as president of the Teamster's Union.
O'Donoghue, who heads the threeman monitors committee, said he is preparing charges of malfeasance against Hoffa for submission to U.S.
District Court Judge F. Dickinson Letts.
The chief monitor yesterday asked Letts for permission to file another set of charges alleging that Hoffa has failed to clean up the union since he became president two years ago
O'Donoghue, acting on his own initiative, asked Letts to direct Hoffa to show why he should not be ousted for failure to get rid of corrupt officials.
