AN EDITORIAL The big bite
It looks vaguely like a high school yearbook we had foisted upon us for three years.
It has more spelling and syntax errors than a freshman "bonehead" English theme.
It costs $1.50—enough money to buy something worth-while.
It is the "Fall" edition of the 1967 Jayhawker Magazine Yearbook, released today, late winter, 1967.
And, as a supposedly representative survey of life at KU, it is something less than worthwhile.
As a brilliant satire, however, it succeeds well.
Chocked full of vignettes of students doing such interesting tasks as spinning film in Bailey Hall, the Jayhawker tells the story of life at KU—as the Endowment Association might write it.
It sings the praises of our football coach, Jack Mitchell, who is beginning "his ninth campaign as KU's football mentor."
Even the fold-out picture of two students contemplating sex by Potter Lake is funny.
As a satire on journalistic "faux pas," it more than succeeds, it excels.
But the humor that should draw the guffaws is not found in the "Fall" 1967 Jayhawker. It is found in the fact that one man gets paid well for taking over six months to edit it—and if the advisory board or the ASC, who are responsible for it, approves, the same man could get a $1,000 bonus.
Perhaps the only people who aren't laughing about the "Fall" 1367 Jayhawker are the ones who now own the thing.

CIA-linked structure no longer here at KU
Bu' CHIP ROUSE
"The National Student Association voices too many political views, and, obviously, there is no place for such influence in student government at KU," Bill Robinson. Great Bend senior, said.
The NSA was one of the first national student government organizations to be formed. It boasts

a membership of over 350 colleges and universities across the nation.
ROBINSON SAID that the NSA started out fairly strong on Mount Cread, but began to weaken as they started taking political stands on issues of international and national importance.
According to Robinson, this is when KU student officials began to lose interest in the program. Kay Orth, El Dorado senior, said
KU once subscribed to the NSA, but disaffiliated during the 163-64 school year. (The exact date of its founding was unavailable at press time.)
that student officials at KU did not feel it was right to belong to such an organization, and besides, nothing was being derived from it.
Following the break off in 1963, KU student government joined forces with a new group known as Associated Student Government. ASG was started at the University of Oklahoma, and was formed by a group of student government officials who disagreed with the policies of the NSA.
There has been much talk lately on how the NSA is being subsidized by the Central Intelligence Agency. Reports state that the subsidizing has been going on since the early 1950's.
Richard Sterns, NSA vice-president for international affairs, said, "Association officers and a few staff members knew of the link with the CIA, but most of those who participated in the organization's programs did not." This was true of KU officials before disaffiliating in 1963.
The ASG is set up much like the NSA, in that it also serves as a sounding board and clearing house for student government. The only difference is that the ASG does not take firm political stands.
ROBINSON commented that the ASG is still trying to get a firm grip on student government at KU, but is continuing to improve. Robinson is an ASG representative.
still claims affiliation with the NSA. No one was available in ing school in the Big Eight which Nebraska for comment on that report.
Hawker board to meet
The Jayhawker finally tries its wings today.
But the success of the flight may be determined Friday.
Delay in the distribution of KU's magazine yearbook will be a topic under discussion Friday afternoon by the Jayhawker Advisory Board, according to Raymond Nichols, vice chancellor for finance and Board chairman.
The Advisory Board elects the editor and business manager and determines the policies of the "Jayhawker."

"I CALLED THE meeting for reports by the editor and business manager, and because I am concerned about the delay in the distribution of the first issue," Nichols said.

Get those alarm clocks ready,
students, because on May 1,
classes begin at 6:30 a.m.
"As far as I'm concerned, the second issue should also be out."
Beginning May 1 at 2 a.m., KU and the rest of the state—may go to Daylight Savings Time.
The subject of salaries and bonuses will be discussed by the Board.
Yesterday, the Kansas House of Representatives rejected a bill introduced by the House State Affairs Committee to exempt Kansas from the Federal Uniform Time Act.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly towards Daylight Savings until the House State Affairs Committee drew up a bill exempting Kansas from the act.
ESSENTIALLY, THE federal act provides that all states, unless they decide differently, go to Daylight Savings from 2 a.m. May 1 until 2 a.m. Oct. 2.
"The agenda calls for voting on bonuses for last year's edi-
Plan move to Fraser
To facilitate moving, those departments affected are asked to schedule conferences in their present offices until March 6. After March 5, and automatic intercept will transfer incoming telephone calls to their new offices.
The move to new Fraser Hall begins Monday, Feb. 20, with first classes in the $2.2 million, 7 story building for the behavioral sciences scheduled to begin Monday, March 6.

tee for exemption were unsound. At a press conference last week he told newsmen that he would not be "too unhappy if it never came out of committee."
THEN PEOPLE started thinking about it.

"... But the drive-ins won't open for another hour, and I have to be in at 1 a.m. . . . I don't need more time to do my work. Got enough as it is. . . . We've always had it the other way, and got along just fine. Why change? . . . But I work in Kansas City, and I'm not going to get up an hour earlier just to drive across the state line. . . . I don't know, but what about the banks? How's anybody going to get their money? . . . And what about all the TV programs. . . ."
THE FARMERS ARE up in arms. This means a longer work day for them—something they are not looking forward to.
But the bartenders have the most legitimate gripe. After all, Daylight Savings will move the entire "day" toward morning. When people usually don't start drinking until after dark . . . well, that just means less time spent in the bar.
The bartenders, the farmers, the commuting workers and businessmen, and the housewives were all happy to see a bill against Daylight Savings introduced.
But opposition to the bill, introduced by Rep. Jess Taylor, (R-Tribune), chairman of the House State Affairs Committee, was high.
Gov. Bob Docking felt that the grounds specified by the commit-
Debbie has the KU beat
By PAULA MYERS
And the beat goes on...and the
beat goes on...
DEBBIE BRYANT, Overland Park junior, is a swinging with the Jayhawker beat like all the other Jayhawkers, but with an added crescendo.
Miss Bryant has declared an English major and has a minor in chemistry.
This spring she is taking Western Civilization, International Politics, English, History, and English 98, an honors reading course.
She has filled her requirements for medical school, which she plans to attend in three semesters. Medical school will require four years.
"My wanting to be a pediatrician stems from a feeling of helplessness when I am around someone ill. I feel extremely uncomfortable because I cannot help." Miss Bryant said.
She will continue to be mistress of ceremonies for many pageants and banquets. She will emcee the Miss Michigan and Miss Kentucky televised state pageants this year.
"I have lots of fun being mistress of ceremonies for pageants. It is hard to get the studies done, so I confine my engagements to the weekends," Miss Bryant explained.
DEBBIE BELIEVES the greatest thing resulting from her position is that she meets some "really wonderful people." She meets radio and television personalities.
"It is an educational experience to know such a variety of people." Debbie said. "Since no immediate past Miss America ever goes back the following year, I won't be attending this year's pageant. But, I hope to go back the next year because it is a ball during the week."
Miss Bryant through her counseling position at Gertrude Sellards Pearson (GSP) meets some "wonderful girls." This semester she is not a counselor.
"I wasn't fired. I am not getting married. I was not able to be in the dorn much, especially on the weekends. I wasn't there enough to help the girls. They were tremendous," Miss Bryant said. "It was an experience. I feel
I learned more than the freshmen that semester."
DEBBIE IS NOW an apartment dweller. She lives with Tonya Lewis of Kinsley. Miss Lewis is attending the Patricia Stevens modeling school in Kansas City.
Debbie is not in any college extracurricular activities. Though she does belong to the Collegiate Young Republics.
She loves to read, which she says is a good thing, because this semester she has from seven to eleven books in each course, including the Russian novels by Tolstoy and Dostoevski. For a long time her favorite novelist was Thomas Hardy.
This summer Miss Bryant hopes she and her mother will spend a month in Europe. She wants to visit Germany, where her brother Doug is stationed, Austria, and Switzerland.
Miss Bryant is dating Rod Wilson, first year law student from Paola. They met through a mutual friend.
