40 Years Plus -
A Tribute To Karl Klooz
Forty-five years ago a young man began working as an office employee in a University office. It didn't take long for administrators to nod their heads approvingly as they watched him work.
"Responsibility plus," they said, "he'll do well and go far."
That man was Karl Klooz.
This year marks the emerald anniversary of Mr. Klooz' service as bursar of the University. Always efficient, but relaxed and friendly,Mr.Klooz has met the myriad complex duties which have faced him.
Mr. Klooz began his career in 1912 working in the University office. Then he worked elsewhere for about three years to return in 1917 to the University to hold one of its most responsible positions—Bursar.
During his 40 years as bursar Mr. Klooz has handled millions of dollars in preparing the University pay rolls and purchasing and inventorying supplies. Bookkeeping and accounting for these transactions have been a major part of his job.
Along with these major functions Mr. Kloooz has offered services to students such as handling
funds for student organizations and a check cashing service.
This year also marks Mr. Klooz' 65th birthday anniversary. Since 65 is the mandatory retirement for administrative personnel he will be replaced by Keith L. Nitcher, new University comproller, July 1, and will remain in the business office in a non-administrative capacity.
"The University will always be grateful to Karl Klooz for his loyalty and dedication to the work of the University," Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said. "Everyone recognizes that he's given his entire career to the University and that such loyalty and dedication contribute to the strength of any organization.
tribute to the struggle.
Besides being a devoted KU alumnus Mr. Klooz has been treasurer of both the University and many related organizations such as the William Allen White Foundation, the Athletic Assn. and the Memorial Corp. For many years he has been chairman of the advisory board of the Jayhawker.
The University offers tribute and gives thanks to Mr. Klooz for his continued interest, loyalty, dedication and friendship to the University.
College Fee Increases -
—Jim Tice
We have always said that what this generation needs is another depression. Well, the day of the soul-stirred individualist is dawning.
Gosh! Another Depression?
When the Board of Regents increased board and room rates from $292.50 to $310 a semester we should have rushed into the streets and shouted with exuberance. Next year's expenses for the University boarder and roomer will be $700, at least!
We wouldn't have even recognized it as the coming of a Great Student Depression if it hadn't been the second wallet-smashing increase in less than a month-only a few days after semester fees were upped. Also, we just happened to stick our hand in our pocket to feel the four coppers we had stashed away for an emergency.
It's as slow as a turtle, and a little obscured by mud, but by gosh it's coming! Next year and the year after a few more of us will be living in garrets, undernourished, and maybe coughing with tb. in our undying struggle for an education.
It will get better, too. Later, when we're gaunt graduate students, we'll be walking to classes with coffee stains on our trousers, cardboard in our shoes, and holes in our socks.
But we'll walk proudly; and our steps will be
firm with purpose. We'll be burning with a thousand odd convictions about the kind of social order we ought to have. There'll be riots in the rotunda of Strong Hall and we'll burn the Federal Reserve Board in effigy. We'll look wistfully to Russia, where the students are atheistic, but eating well. We'll have a cause!
Academic standards will skyrocket out of sight. The student who's nursing a minus one point grade average will make the honor roll in the onslaught of that inexorable cause. The Board of Regents will resign, one and all, having failed to palliate the crowded classrooms problem by increasing the cost of education.
Then, just as slowly as it came upon us, it will be all over. Kansas taxpayers will self-righteously sacrifice their second Cadillac and reduce board and room rates to $100 a semester. Fees will plunge to nothing.
And once again, we'll all live like a Lewis Carroll character: as if we expected to stride off into something inexplicable. We won't feel like thinking on a full stomach and we'll forget all about the cause. Another revolution will have passed and we'll be ready for McCarthyism again.

Job-hunting will be in the offing for seniors ere long, and our good friend Elrod has letter-writing and interview suggestions for senior perusal. He says:
"Be aggressive. Attack your prospective employer as being old-fashioned, and hypnotical. Denounce

him in vindictive language, and tell him that only by hiring you and your progressive ideas gained from four years of stellar study at this noble institution can his firm avert bankruptcy. This always leaves an impression.
Dawson
"Appeal to his sense of duty. Lay before him your plan of bettering his organization. Tell him you believe strongly in unions, and that you believe in the 24-hour week and high wages. Tell him that only through incorporation of his business can the true spirit of worker participation be realized.
Tell him that you believe in high degree job protection, that strikes are your second nature, and that your sympathies lie with the labor bosses. This, too, never fails to leave an impression.
If you are interviewed, Elrod suggests:
"Appear in threadbare jeans
"If possible, break your leg, and make a big thing of dragging your crooked foot behind you. Don't buy crutches, but get an old tree limb to lean on.
and an athletic department sweat shirt. This will make your interviewer think you are aggressive and an athlete.
"If you are married, take your wife and any children along, dressed as shabbily as possible. If your are not married, have someone pose as your wife, and grab three or foururchins as they leave Cordley just before your interview. (Note: Investigate thoroughly the Lindbergh Law prior to this latter action.)"
"Make a mental note of any wages the interviewer promises. Better still, take a pocket size tape-recorder with you, so that legal action can be sustained if you later decide to sue for breach of promise.
"Perhaps it would be wise to take your transcript along, if you are an 'A' student, and if not, make a fake one showing all 'A's."
"Don't take just any old job. Insist on an expense account and a new car. If possible, investigate your employer to see if he is on good terms with Drew Pearson."
Elrod testifies that all of the above mentioned devices will get quick results. For further advice, Elrod may be reached at the Acme Ditch-Digging Co.

On Chilean sheep farms at the Strait of Magellan, the most serious losses are caused by thick fleeces. In rainy weather the wool becomes so wet and heavy that a sheep rolling on its back may be unable to get up. There it lies until it's rescued or dies.

TWO CAN LIVE AS CHEESILY AS ONE
Now in the final months of the school year, one thing is certain: you and your roommate are not speaking.
But it is not too late to patch things up. Examine the rift calmly. Search your soul with patience. Perhaps the fault is yours. Perhaps you are guilty of violating some of the basic rules of roommate etiquette.
For instance, in decorating your room, have you forced your preferences on your roommate without regard to his or her tastes? This is a common cause of friction. Indeed, it once happened to me back in my freshman year when I was sharing a room with a boy named Rimsky Sigafoos who covered every inch of our wall with 850 pictures of James Dean.
"Rimsky," I said to him in gentle reproof, "please don't think me unduly, but I had hoped to put a picture of my fiancée Mary Beth Thermidor on the wall."
Well, that got my dander up, and I was mad as a wet hen till Rimsky gave me a Philip Morris Cigarette.
Rimsky examined the picture of my fiancée Mary Beth Thermidor. "You're kidding, of course," he said, and dropped the picture in the wastebasket.
As we all know, there is nothing like a mild, natural, Philip Morris. Treats a man right. No filter, no foolin'! Anger melts and frowns become smiles with Philip Morris, all seems right in the world, and no man's hand is turned against you, nor yours against any man.
So, puffing a pacifying Philip Morris, I forgot all about Rimsky's slight to Mary Beth Thermidor. In fact, with her picture out of sight, I soon forgot all about Mary Beth Thermidor, too, and one night at the Freshman Frolic, spying a round young coed over in a corner, I came up to her and said with a fetching leer, "Excuse me, miss. We don't know each other, but I would like to rectify that sad omission." And she said, "Oh, you horrid, horrid youth! I am your fiancée Mary Beth Thermidor." With that she stomped furiously away, and though I tried to win her back with Philip Morrises, she was beyond recall. I, utterly shattered, signed on as a cabin boy with the Cunard Line and am today, aged 53, the oldest cabin boy on the North Atlantic run.
But I digress. We were talking about roommate etiquette. Let us turn now to the matter of share and share alike. Have you shared everything equally? Drawer space? Closet space? Study space? And here's one that often causes trouble - hobby space.
it took two or three Philip Morrises to restore my native sweetness
When, for example, I roomed with Rimsky Sigafoos, my hobby was stamp collecting. I did not take up much room. All I needed was a small corner for my stamps, my album, my magnifying glass, and my tongue. Rimsky, on the other hand, was by hobby a cat burglar. Hardly a night went by when he didn't burgle twenty or thirty cats. You can imagine how crowded our little room used to get! Many's the time I got so exasperated that it took two or three rich, natural Philip Morrises to restore my native sweetness. © Max Shulman, 1957
We, the makers of Philip Morris and sponsors of this column, know that you and your roommate are getting along just fine. But if you ever do have a little tiff, don't try a peace pipe. Try a good, natural smoke - Philip Morris!
