Fickle Fans Are Funny
Sports fans are as fickle as a teenage girl.
Evidence of this is all around us, and we who attend KU athletic events are among the worst.
After KU had tied TCU in the opening game of the season KU fans whispered, "Chuck's got a good team this year." There were a few dissenters who thought we should have won that first game, but it was generally conceded that we were on the way to a good season.
It took only a week to change an enthusiastic body of KU fans into an effigy-hanging (although it didn't happen), swearing, condemning mob. The only reason for the attitude was a three-hour debacle with Oregon State.
Now these students and alumni who were at Chuck Mather's throat and who nodded and said smugly, "I told you so," are singing the praises of our coach and his fighting band of brain and brawn after the Colorado game. Funny creatures, we sports fans!
Away from KU it's the same story. An example
was the enthusiastic 6.000 persons who welcomed the Milwaukee Braves at the airport after they evened the World Series with New York at one game each.A little over 24 hours later there was hardly a Milwaukee beer-lover who would claim the Braves.
The day the Braves came to town everyone was imagining a World championship for Milwaukee. After the third game of the series everyone, save a small bunch of die-hards, was lamenting and saying, "We don't have a chance; they sure looked lousy."
But after Sunday's game things were bright and cheery once again in Milwaukee.
About the only place where this feeling isn't a weekly occurrence is at Oklahoma University, at least during football season. OU fans don't know what it feels like to get stomped 34-6. But they aren't invulnerable and we'd bet our senior pennant that if the day ever comes, OU fans will be just as fickle as we are at KU.

Are We Losing The Race?
Bouquets go to the Russian scientists for the first successful launching of an earth satellite. May we follow soon.
American scientists assure us that we could have sent up a satellite a year ago; let's hope that this is true and that we achieve the success of the Russians soon.
Russia has made tremendous advancements in the rocket field in the past decade. It should not be said that their scientists are more intelligent than ours. After all we got a good helping of the German rocket experts at the end of World War II which gave us a good advantage.
Perhaps this is because they have a specific goal to reach, not changed by the fluctuation of the nation's political and economical pulse. They do not worry over the amount of money they are allowed for a project as important as this one.
It is a great thing indeed when a scientist can know that he has an unlimited supply of money and labor with which to accomplish his project.
It is time the United States took a good close look at its plans for the future, especially in space travel. It is not the country with the fanciest rocket or nicest satellite who will be in the command seat in space, but the country who gets there first.
The country who gets to the moon first, the country who sets up the first manned satellite first is the country which will control the policy of the world. This is a terrible and fearsome race we are in. A race that may mean the life or death of our political and economic system. This is not the time to balk over how much money is to be spent on the space project.
No matter how much it hurts we are no longer leading the rocket field. Russia has beaten us badly twice in the last few weeks. First with their intercontinental ballistic missile and now with the satellite. At best we are neck and neck with Russia.
We must give the scientists what they need when they need it, not make them petition for precious months for the materials or the labor that they need.
In Russia when more money is needed, food and housing may be cut. Here in the United States the worse that could happen is that the family would have to put off buying that much needed new color TV set or new automobile.
Our foreign relations could suffer from defeats like this, for even countries like to be on the winning side and to countries on the border line right now Russia looks like the winner.

Checks And Fines
Editor:
Oregon the Beaver State, has no A train wreck at Wellington, official motto. Wash., in 1910 killed 96 persons.
My congratulations to Larry Boston and his associates on the University Daily Kansan staff. For lack of better things to do, it seems, their agile minds have dreamed up another plan on how to beat the University, in their Oct. 9, 1957 editorial, "Write Checks, Flee Fines."
Up till the time the editorial was written, persons who made the honest mistake of overdrawing their bank accounts by one or two dollars could expect some mercy from the University. After the editorial, what can the University do except bear down on the insufficient fund checkwriters. An idea of how to beat the University has been planted in everybody's mind.
How wonderful that Mr. Boston and his associates have never had the misfortune of having one of their checks bounce.

I'll do it. I'll just write it as is.
Wait, the prompt says "Maintain original document structure".
The image is a simple paragraph with no headings or subheadings.
So I should just provide the text as it appears.
Let's re-read the image.
"...the main part of the document was a paragraph about the benefits of online shopping for small businesses."
Actually, the word after "main part" is "about". So it's "about the benefits of online shopping for small businesses."
One more thing: the text starts from the top right corner. The first line is at the bottom left.
The second line is at the top right.
The third line is at the top left.
Okay, I'm ready to output.
...the main part of the document was a paragraph about the benefits of online shopping for small businesses.
