Schultz Misquoted In Article
A statement in the current issue of Ladies' Home Journal which has attributed to Jim Schultz. ASC president who appeared on a forum for that magazine, stirred up some angry remarks among members of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, co-publisher of Sour Owl humor magazine.
The statement read as follows. "There are also college magazines in bad taste. At the University of Kansas, there was one that said ugly things about the president of the University and the dean of women and some of the students, but it ran for years. Finally it was banned by the Student Council."
The statement read as follows:
not quoted him accurately, and had combined his testimony with that of another student from another college appearing at the same time on the forum.

However, Shultz said that the magazine had
What actually happened to Sour Owl is this: A University faculty committee took appropriate action after investigation. Participating fraternities were placed on disciplinary probation. The statement would lead one to believe that the Sour Owl has consistently published articles of the nature which last year drew criticism. This is not true.
We feel that Schultz should query the magazine as to why his testimony was confused with that of another to mislead the reader.

Take Smog Action Or Turn Mole
In our country today communication media daily relate stories of what the toxins of expanding industrialization are reaping. Discomfort, illness and even death due to smog are becoming commonplace in certain areas of our nation. More and more smog warnings are necessary to prevent serious traffic tieups, accidents, injuries and death. In recent days suicides have been directly attributed to the choking smog.
Entire cities constructed beneath the surface of the earth? You think that's absurd? Such may be our fate in the not too distant future if we remain content to sit idly and permit—not nuclear weapons—but smothering, industrialsmog to drive our civilization underground.
For some time science fiction writers have described societies forced to exist underground because of toxic atmospheric conditions on the surfaces of their planets.
Because there was no forethought, no planning to solve this serious problem, oppressive smog, while there was yet ample time.
Should we stop industrialization and return to an agarian way of life as has been suggested by one school of "thought"?
Why?
On the contrary, it is possible to view with certainty the necessity of continued industrial expansion and, more pertinent, the centralization here in the Middle west of American industry.
Already we have some of the most modern industrial areas in the world in Kansas. The Fairfax industrial area of Kansas City, Kan., and the aeronautical industrial areas of Wichita are tangible proofs of the great industrial centralization which has begun in the heart of America.
"But Kansas is the wheat state. How can this
happen when it's possible to drive through miles of nothing but wheat fields and dairy farmland?" is common talk with some, but for how long will this be true—50 years, 100?
A few years ago these smog smitten areas we've heard so much about were nothing but agricultural lands and even deserts. But today they are residential and industrial real estate—with smog.
We have a problem—smog. The time to solve it is NOW, before it is upon us.
First of all, THINK!
"But what can I do?" you ask.
Steps, expensive ones, are being taken on the coasts to alleviate the smog problem. Engineers and other experts are being employed to attempt to purify the smog polluted air. Attempts at lessening the toxic fumes from industry are being made. This is all taking much time and money and all the while the problem is becoming worse. But these are all cures, not preventatives.
Write to your Congressman and find out what plans are being made to prevent this problem here in the Middlewest. (NOW is a good time to do this.)
Discuss the problem with your family and associates. Talk about it. The more interest and talk concerning this problem, the more sure are positive results in solving it.
Thinkers and doers are both important in the solution of any problem.
City, county and state planning commissions should take this problem to task—NOW.
What you think and do about this problem can determine whether of not you, your children or grandchildren will be forced to exist as moles.

Punches Unpulled In That First Presidential Race,Too
NEW YORK—(UP) — The trail left by American political campaigns throughout history suggests that even in George Washington's day the punches were unpulled.
The New York Historical Society has dipped into its collection of 5,000 political cartoons and other campaign musketry for a special exhibition. It runs from Washington to "Wilkie or Bust" buttons.
One of the exhibits is an 1807 poster depicting Washington as the "good guy" and Thomas Jefferson as the bad. Beneath a drawing of Washington is the Shakespearean quotation: "See what a grace is seated on this brow."
The 1840 campaign of log-cabin, hard-eider fame provided cartoonists and jingle singers with plenty of material. One poster shows "an authentic view of the bar room, in the log cabin, Broadway, New York", in which men at the bar are drinking "Tysler Punch" and "Harrison Juleps." Underneath is a lecture on the evils of drink.
Beneath Jefferson is a quotation saying he is "like a mildewed ear, blasting his wholesome brother."
Songs About Lincoln.
In 1864, the "President Lincoln Campaign Songster" contained such sweet songs as "The Southern's Call," which begins:
"Come out, you sumy hussies,
"Forget domestic musses,
"Ambition now more cusses
"On abolitionists
"(Wake, enakes)"
Another song of Lincoln's time
alleges that "Uncle Abe" once was "Great at splitting rails,
The songs continue through the years, including such wows as "Prosperiy, Protection, and McKinley" and "Keep Cool and Keep Coolidge."
"But 'twas very long ago, long ago.
"But at both he made a very sorry show."
Ezio Pinza was a champ bike racer before taking up singing.

The first in a series of lectures, sponsored by Sigma Xi, national honorary scientific society, in connection with the International Geophysical Year, will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Oct.18 in Strong Hall Auditorium.
Who are these gentlemen. Brad Lashbrook and Dale Tompkins, to set themselves up as judges of individualism. Many times the so-called "artificial individuals" mould the culture of the society of which these gentlemen are members. I would rather be called a radical than a parasite of the dictates of convention. I would rather be a John Ise than an uninformed advocate of text book knowledge.
Sigma Xi Society To Sponsor Geophysical Lecture Series
The International Geophysical Year is a major research undertaking in the earth sciences, in which 38 nations are participating.
I will let history judge as to who will be most remembered, the "Appolio of the Sod" or the academic conformist.
Sigma Xi, assisted by the Midwest Research Institute and Linda Hall library in Kansas City, Mo., will bring a speaker to the campus every third Thursday of the month from October until May.
Max Dresdon, professor of physics, will speak on "Modern Physics and the International Geophysical Year." Oct. 18.

Beards are now selling for $5,000 per ounce.
Yeah, that's right, we said $5,000 At least thats what it says in a letter we got the other day.
It seems this shaving company has offered $5,000 per ounce for the privilege of shaving three-month-old beards off the men selected for a shaving commercial.
An incomplete schedule of speakers and their topics: Frank Rowland, assistant professor of chemistry, "Geochemistry." Feb. 21, 1957; Prof. Gerald P. Kuiper, University of Chicago, "Astronomy and the International Geophysical Year," April 21, 1957; Prof. Roger Williams, University of Texas, "Vitamins and Nutrition," May 7, 1957; Prof. Detiev Bronk, Rockefeller Institute, New York City, N.Y., "Philosophical Implication of the International Geophysical Year." Mav 23, 1957.
What a racket!
All these World Series television commercials to the contrary, shaving is really quite an odious function, particularly when you're in a hurry.
Colorado had 58 men turn out for football this season.
It's during times like that—when you're rushing to make that 8 o'clock—that your hand will become shaky and you will wind up gashing your throat. (At times this seems, like a perfect solution, but after reconsidering, we've decided that we're too young to die.)
And electric razors—sure they'll shave you, to a certain extent, but there's always that infamous five o'clock shadow. And besides, electricity is darned expensive.
In fact, the only good thing about shaving at all is the tremendous battles you can have with those compressed-air shaving lather bombs. But there's never time for such frivolities early in the morning, and in addition to that, no one ever feels like playing such games so soon after awakening—bad on the heart, you know.
As far as that goes, there's nothing that's very much fun in the morning. Just thinking of the horribleness of it all reminds me of an equally-hideous poem. We recite:
The a. m.
Is mayhem.
And speaking of football, which we should have done in the first place, we were sitting over behind the lawyers' section the other day, and one of them suggested a peachy new formation for Coach Mather's gridders.
He called it "split hyperbolic-paraboloid with a man in motion and a flanked waterbucket."

Hill Greets Fall Despite Heat
Although the weatherman advises Kansans to prepare for 30 more days of "abnormal heat," many signs of fall can be seen on the campus.
