Rise Up, Seniors!
The Seniors have been challenged!
The administration, for the first time, has allowed the Senior Class to miss two classes to attend the annual Senior Coffee from 10 a.m. to 12 noon Wednesday in the Kansas Union ballroom. This is with the provision that the Coffee will be a success.
All Seniors are challenged to be there!
There is a reason behind the near madness in letting the Seniors have a two-hour coffee break. The Senior Calendar Queen must be selected; class pennants and badges and free Senior section tickets for the KU-Oklahoma game will be distributed; tickets for Senior functions must be circulated; a class gift must be chosen; speeches must be heard; and free coffee and rolls must be consumed.
In short, much is to be accomplished.
The class officers have set aside many days as Senior functions. At this Coffee, all of the tentative plans will be revealed. This will be the first of many meetings for this year's Senior Class. Complete cooperation is necessary to make these events material and spiritual successes.
Darn right! You're Seniors. Be proud of it.
See you at the Coffee. —John Husar
Summer, Anyone?
Sitting in the office, swatting at a pestiferous swarm of late-season flies, we had almost decided there may be something to be said in favor of winter.
Science is halfway toward conquering the common cold, one of the main reasons winter is so detested by right-thinking people.
Our peerless textile factories and chemical works have produced any number of lightweight winter fabrics which are supposed to keep the wind from our knobby knees. Portable electric blankets are just around the corner, and there are already low-cost hand warmers for duck hunters and other cold-weather masochists.
But they'll have to get some more goodies before we will be seduced into invading December's ice palace.
So far, the weather tycoons have almost entirely ignored the nose, which is the most vulnerable part of the winterized body. A few flyby-nights have developed nose muffs, but they haven't solved the condensation problem, which leads to icicles of the nares.
Nor has anyone developed any way to really warm the hands without turning the fingers into so many sausages.
The winter industries, those exploiters of human misery, have given little consideration to the feet, which must still be protected from the ravages of zero by bulky wool socks and 20-pound boots.
No, the more we think about it, the more delightful it seems to walk around in a dirty old T-shirt, sweating lightly, and swatting those flies. Al Jones
Filstrup Writes Home
Dear Jim,
Well, heres your old buddy, going to college like I said I would. I have 15 hours this semester, which is the usual "load" for a freshman, but believe me boy it's plenty.
You remember when Mort came back last Christmas from KU and said how tough it was, well he was right. We have to study every night.
Of course, the week ends are real good because nobody does anything but have a ball, if you know what I mean. Nobody ever asks for your ID card when you want a beer or nothing, and the frat brothers can get you a date when you want one. Of course, I shouldn't call them brothers yet as am still a pledge, but theyre really a swell bunch. I mean, they can really help with the old grind.
They've had some convacations here, where all the students go listen to the chancellor or somebody, but nobody goes. We always go to the Union and drink coffee.
Look, Jim, I forgot to pack my white bucks. Could you get them an dsend them to me?
You should see what they wear up here on the "hill." Everyone has ivy league clothes, real cool. I bought a shirt the other day that really makes it. I mean, button down collar all around and it's a real good color. Sort of a dark brown, with black and purple little stripes running up and down, and just a little mustard brown in there. It drip dry, so I can wear it every day.
Well I got to close this up, am dating tonight with a sorority girl. She isn't to good looking, but you have to take a few dates with some of those to get good dates. The house sets things like that up for you.
The only trouble are closing hours, which are one o'clock on week ends. The university is very narrow minded about that.
Send my black knit tie too, will you?
Filstrup

It Looks This Way ...
By Donna Nelson
In an interview yesterday, October spoke gently and quietly and was calm. She spread her coloring leaves over the tree tops and her laughter rippled over the hill in the guise of a soft breeze. For two hours I listened to her and watched her. It was obvious that her favorite colors were deep reds, rich browns and golds, as her wardrobe was basically made up of these hues. Although she has been here only a few days, she has been warmly received and highly complimented. She plans to visit us for a few more weeks and will return here again at this time next year. In her remaining time here, she plans to shorten the days, finish coloring the leaves, encourage, even flirt with frost and incorporate beauty into everything. At the time of our interview, she was busy arranging some branches so the bright afternoon sunlight could filter through the multicolored leaves and splash lace designs on the ground below.
"I plan to create exquisite settings for landscape artists," she said, "...to make the scenery breathtakingly beautiful for the old, who will not be here when I return and for the young, so they will look forward, eagerly, to the time when they will see me again ...and for those in love, so that I may be a part of their memories."
WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY PURPLE PIZZA EATERS.
Just Happy Ones.
