Midshipmen Get Water From '7 Seas'
The NROTC midshipmen at this spring's traditional Ring dance will have "Water from the Seven Seas" to christen their rings in.
Part of the traditional ceremony of the dance calls for the midshipman to dip his ring in water from the seven seas, so Comdr. W. M. Dickey, executive officer of the NROTC unit, sent to naval stations all over the world for water samples for the dance.
Since nobody really knows just what seven seas are referred to in the expression, the samples received will have to serve the purpose. Water was received from six seas and three oceans, so it is hoped that the historical seven are among them.
The samples received are from the Bering sea, the Mediterranean sea, the Aegean sea, the Black sea, the Caribbean sea, the Sea of Japan, the Atlantic ocean, the Pacific ocean and the Indian ocean.
A coincidence resulted from Commander Dickey's request when the water from the Bering sea was received with a letter and a picture showing two native Kansans dipping the water from the sea.
The two Kansans were Wave Lt.
Elizabeth M. Duve of Freeport and
Cmdr. W. J. Stuessi of Pittsburg.
The two were then stationed on
Adak island in the Aleutians.

Standards Are Changing Twente Tells Faculty Club
"It is difficult to say whether we have higher or lower ethical standards," Miss Esther Twente, professor of social work, told the Faculty club Monday noon.
"Our standards are changing, but we cannot definitely state in which direction," she said.
Miss Josephine Brayton, of the Girl Scout offices in Kansas City, will speak about jobs available in Girl Scout work at a coffee at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the AWS lounge.
All women students interested are invited. Miss Brayton will be on the campus all day Wednesday talking to other groups by special appointment.

responsibility, and the teachings or Sigmund Freud which make us measure values as slightly gray instead of black or white, are all forces causing our ethical standards to change, Miss Twente believes.
"Due to television, investigation committees, and better radio coverage we are now more aware when a breakdown in our ethical standards occurs, like the breakdown in the Internal Revenue department," she said.

"The way to improve our standards is to return to the old time religion, as Billy Graham is doing. We must also examine our values, as a group and as individuals," Miss Twente said.
A group discussion followed the speech.
