A Campus Challenge
Driving can be fun, especially on the KU campus. The campus is quite a challenge with its blind corners, signless intersections and "who first" corners.
Driving along Louisiana street one wonders who has the right-of-way at the intersections of 12th and 13th streets. Granted, Louisiana street is a oneway street, and should be through. But try to bluff a car coming up 12th or 13th when the streets are slick. Both streets are blind from the left, and some drivers don't look too long before crossing Louisiana street.
Where Oread Avenue meets 12th street, another problem arises. Who goes first when a car arrives
from each direction at the same time? There has been one accident there already this fall.
Out in West Hills, the trees and shrubbery make several corners blind. Most notable of these are the intersections of University Drive and West Campus Road, University Drive and Emery Road and West Hills Terrace and Stratford Road on the east side of the "Y." There has also been an accident at the University Drive-Emery Road intersection this fall.
Trees and shrubbery are nice and add beauty to the campus, and stop and yield right-of-way signs cost money. But the elimination of a little greenery and the erection of a few signs could very well save on bumps, bruises and repair bills.
Tuition Blues
—Del Haley
John J. Xyerez was a normal student, a gentleman and a scholar. At least he tried to be a gentleman and he had a few books bracketed on his shelf, although he had never read any of them.
One morning late in September John awoke with a sinking feeling. At first he couldn't identify the source of this feeling. Ten it hit him! As he dragged himself off the floor, he repeated to himself those three ominous words, "Tuition due today."
As he partially regained his composure, John realized that the little trip to the business office would virtually eliminate him from any form of social life. He had to think of some way to keep his bank account from shrinking away to nearly nothing. Suddenly, like a light, he had it. His gift of gab was his most valuable asset. He would use it to keep his roll from becoming too thin.
With his feet dragging reluctantly, John made his way to the business office. While standing in line for three hours, he had plenty of time for reflection. But he still hadn't formed a definite plan of attack.
When the cashier took his fee card, she smiled and said, "$103 please." John paled, stammered, thensaid. "Now wait a minute, let's check this out."
"First, let's take this item, incidental $70," John said. "I don't see anything so darn incidental about $70. I don't soak up too much of the lectures, in fact I sleep through most of my classes. Couldn't we cut that down to about $25?" "I'm sorry," said the cashier, "its still $70." After more futile argument, John gave up on that item.
"Well what about this $11 activity

Answer To Anthan
One must behold with awe the skill with which George Anthan dealt with Mr. Bennett's criticism of the KU coach and school administrators for permitting members of its football team to be subjected to one of the greatest indignities last weekend. And for presumably having permitted these actions to occur in the past.
Trodding surely along what past action or inaction has certainly shown to be the Jayhawkier Trail, he skillfully manipulated and circumvented the appeal to simple human decency which Tuesday's letter contained. It was apparent that the noble appeal to thought and timely action had fallen upon ears not quite as sensitive to the sufferings of others as the exigencies of one of
fee." John said. "I get all the exercise I need walking up this blasted hill." Still no mercy. "Well this 12 bucks for the health fee is way off, I wouldn't be caught dead in Watkins hospital," he said. "No luck. 'I never go into the Union.' John pleaded, "the coffee is terrible." He got nothing but a cold stare.
With tears rolling down his cheeks, John doled out the $103. Blinded by his tears, he stumbled down the hill to this humble abode, a broken man.

Three years later, John sat twirling his Phi Beta Kappa key, looking over his acceptance to graduate school. He hadn't had a date in three years, but he was happy. Penneless, but a true scholar.
Del Haley
this country's, gravest internal problems might demand.
Regardless of his disposition to put primary import upon convenience and the all-important matter of "winning a football game," there are some people, fortunately, whose minds are more nobly orientated. They realize that the segregation of an individual solely because of color is the insult to one's human dignity that it is. These people feel that it should be the paramount responsibility of responsible school officials to make certain that all team members, wherever they play, get humane treatment.
Our annual game with TCU is a wonderful affair, and has certainly become a respected tradition. But I too ask, must we honor tradition regardless of the extent to which we must sacrifice our principles?
On the real issues involved Mr. Bennett was quite adequately informed. It is not a misconception that five members of the team were segregated. Mr. Anthan missed the point altogether it would seem.
"...and now we go after the story of Professor..."
Of course the problem will solve itself in time, at least for us, for there exists one immutable law of nature which we must all obey. But I though that perhaps, this being a university dedicated to the improvement of individuals, their thoughts and their actions, it would not be too great a deviation from that which is within the scope of its purpose to suggest to the schools of our opponent teams, that if we are to have such interrelations, the human dignity of all our representatives must be respected at all times.
This, I think, would be one step in the right direction, a step toward solving difficult problems which characteristic Jayhawker apathy will never solve.

Glad to see that the SUA hires a band every Wednesday night to play at the Hawk's Nest; we sure save on nickles that way.
