KU Tourist Proud Of U.S. Fair Show
Some people who have been to the Brussels World's Fair think the United States sold themselves short by displaying "The American Way of Life" in contrast to Russia's show of strength, but a KU senior who has been there doesn't think so.
Dick Jones, McPherson senior, who toured Europe with his family this summer, said he was proud of the American exhibit.
"We followed the theme of the Fair," he said. "Each country was to show its way of life. We did and Russia concentrated on armed might."
"Many Europeans and Americans I talked to felt Russia had outdone us. Their display was very impressive," Jones said, "but it is my opinion that all people who were conscious of the Fair's theme could see through Russia's propaganda."
Jones rates the fair as the top stop on his trip which covered 15 countries in Europe and North Africa.
He termed Rome "the most fascinating city in Europe. It is a place where history surrounds you. There is more to see and do there than in any two other cities I was in."
Other places which stood out in Jones' mind were the fjord country of Norway, and Rome.
The Jones' experienced few of the hazards normally associated with touring strange countries. Being well briefed in the misadventures of Americans in Europe, the family took pains to avoid lost luggage and similar pitfalls.

However, a cab driver in Lisbon took them on the most harrowing trip of their lives. Jones said.

Cabbies excluded, Jones said the European people were very friendly and pro-American.
"The driver's only thought." Jones said, "was to get rid of you as soon as possible and pick up another fare."
ned to "Do as the humans, we got along fine," he said. Jones' greatest surprise was the smallness of the world. While on the continent he met 19 KU students, most of them on sight-seeing trips.

Since KU has so many students from the Near and Far East studying under various exchange programs, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy invited the officer-artist to show his work at KU, Prof, Maser said.
Most of the works depict scenes and subjects of the artist's native land. Exhibitions of his work have been held in Djarkarta, Surabaja, and Malang.
Museum hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Don't tell me: I know how busy you've been! I know all the things you've had to do in the opening days of the school year—registering, paying fees, finding lodgings, entering a drag race, getting married, building a cage for your raccoon. But now, with all these essentials out of the way, let us pause and join hands and take, for the first time, a long, leisurely look at our campus.
HOW GREEN WAS MY CAMPUS
We begin our tour over here on this lovely stretch of green-sward called The Mall. The Mall, as we all know, was named in honor of our distinguished alumnus Fred Mall, inventor of the opposing thumb. Before Mr. Mall's invention, the thumb could not be pressed or clicked against the other fingers. As a result, millions of castanet makers were out of work. Today however, thanks to Mr. Mall, one out of every three Americans is gainfully employed making castanets. (The other two make croquet wickets.) Mr. Mall is now 106 years old and living in seclusion on a sea cliff in Wellington, Kansas, but the old gentleman is far from idle. He still works twelve hours a day in his laboratory, and in the last year has invented the tuna, the cuticle, and lint.
Ready? Let's go!
...the old Gentleman is far from idle...
But I digress. Let us resume our tour. At the end of The Mall we see a handsome edifice called The Library. Here books are kept. By "kept" I mean "kept." There is no way in the world for you to get a book out of the library... No, I'm wrong. If you have a stack permit you can take out a book, but stack permits are issued only to widows of Presidents of the United States. (That lady you see coming out of the library with a copy of Girl of the Limberlost is Mrs. Millard Fillmore.)
Next to The Library we see the Administration Building. Here one finds the president of the university, the deans, and the registrar. According to ancient academic usage, the president is always called "Prexy." Similarly, the deans are called "Dixie" and the registrar is called "Roxy." Professors are called "Proxy" and housemothers are called "Hoxy-Moxy." Students are called "Algae."
Diagonally across The Mall we see the Students Union. It is a gay mad place, frankly dedicated to the fun and relaxation of we undergraduates. Here we undergraduates may enjoy ourselves in one of two ways—with filter or without. We undergraduates who prefer filters, prefer Marlboro, of course. Oh, what a piece of work is Marlboro! The filter filters, the taste is smooth but not skimpy, mild but not meagre.
We undergraduates who prefer non-filters, prefer Philip Morris, of corris. It is a natural smoke, a clean smoke, a flavorful, zestful, pure and peaceful smoke . . . Now hear this: Philip Morris and Marlboro each come in a choice of two packs—crushproof Flip-Top Box or the familiar Soft Pack.
So now, as the setting sun casts a fiery aura over the spires and battlements of our beloved campus, let us lie us ourselves to our tobaccoist's and lay in a night's supply of Marlboro or Philip Morris, and then let us, lowing, wind slowly o'er the lea to our dormitories and sit upon our army surplus cots, spent but content, and smoke and dream and hark the curfew toll the knell of parting day. Aloha, fair campus, aloha!
