'Listen here daughter...'
"Listen here daughter . . . just 'cause you got a job on the Jaihawker staff . . ."
As surely as the first of the year brings long lines at registration and longer course outlines from ambitious professors, it brings membership drives from most of the campus organizations.
The Jayhawker, the KU-Y, the Young Democrats, the Young Republicans, the ASC, SUA, SPU, CRC and SDS are all out for new members and workers—for people to swell their ranks, to carry on the work of their organizations.
EACH ENCOURAGES people to belong, to become involved, to share in the work of the particular organization. Each vies for the student's time.
And each year a few students respond, often the same ones that responded the year before.
Actually, there is a real need for students to involve themselves in campus organizations both for the welfare of the organizations and the welfare of the individual students.
ASIDE FROM THE work involved, there is a very real benefit to the students who do take time to become involved. An organization—any type of organization—reduces to some degree the impersonality of the university by putting the students on the participation level.
Participating gives one a sense of belonging, of being an active part of the university. Organizations fill a need not filled in the classroom or in a living group—they make the student more
than the person being served by the university; they make him a real part of the university community.
A PERSON CAN hardly be justified in criticizing the university when he himself refuses to take any part in its functioning. Whatever the role he takes in an organization may be, a person who participates is interested—he has a desire to do something, to invest part of his spare time in a constructive activity.
Organizations have places for leaders and for followers. They need members if they are to function, and they have room for any seriously interested student.
The basic responsibility of the student, of course, is to use his university years as a means of formally educating himself. This must come first.
BUT THERE EXISTS another responsibility beyond formal education and even beyond the spare time spent in front of the television or at the Hawk. That responsibility is to participate to meet other students, faculty members and administrators outside of the classroom and outside of a spare time social life.
The well-rounded student participates in campus activities because he is interested. From this interest arises an important educational experience that is not offered in the classroom—the experience of working with other people for a common goal, the experience of being a working part of the university.-Eric Morgenthaler
The victorious team
One of the members of the football squad who made the trip to Arizona summed up our feelings about the game pretty well.
"Coming back, it was really nice," he said. "Sort of a different feeling—we'd finally won. We'd gone so long without an away win. After a while you get sick of having to come back to KU after losing a game. It was really nice this time."
The university community in general also feels that it was "really nice" this time. KU wanted to win and deserved to win. The team showed a remarkable display of strength and spirit; they overpowered and outplayed Arizona.
When a football team fares as poorly as KU
has these last few years, it usually loses fans. But the enthusiasm for this game showed that someone does care about the Jayhawks, especially when they're performing well.
There were groups clustered around radios in most of the houses—something unusual for a Saturday night. The Jayhawks had real long-distance support, fans had something to cheer about besides pom-pon girls.
The team plays away again this weekend. We can't be there in mass to cheer them on, but the support will still be here in Lawrence. We wish them luck—it's great to be winning.

Would you believe that now, thanks to the wonders of modern university scheduling techniques, you can enroll in a course in Philosophy of Science that runs from 1:30 to 2:45?
We view this as a valuable innovation and aid
to students planning their courses, unless, of course, you happen to want to take a 2:30 class.
As we see it, the only way around it is to be a second-year MBA student and enroll in Marketing or MBA Discussion II, both of which meet 2:50 to 4.

"Why, yes, I am," the former Miss America smiled.
"Are you Debbie Bryant?" a sophomore wonderingly inquired.
"Oh," the soph hesitantly continued. "I've been hearing a lot about you lately," he finished lamely.
