Austrian Law Graduate Admits She Has No Interest In Politics
By ROGER YARRINGTON
One law student who definitely doesn't have her sights set on politics is Ellinor Loeffelmann of Graz, Austria, who says, "Anyone who has a little sense, and wants to live in peace, stays out of politics in Austria."
Miss Loeffelmann has a law degree from Graz university and is now enrolled at Kansas university as a special student in journalism.
She explains that when one is interested in politics in Austria, he usually suffers because of the constant change in government. "One year your party is in office and you are all right. The next year another party is in office and you may be a criminal for your politics."
At present, she says, the people of Austria are especially disinterested in politics. "Although it's hard to generalize, most of the people are so tired of war, politics and conflict they just don't care; they just want to avoid another conflict." She believes the situation is particularly sad because Austria is in a geographic position to suffer first if there is another war.
"Austria is divided into four zones of occupation by the United States, England, France and Russia. The
Extension Director Speaks In Memphis
Gerald L. Pearson, director of University Extension classes, spoke at the national fire department conference last week in Memphis, Tennessee.
His speech, "Can In Service Training Benefit Firemen?" was heard by representatives from 38 states and Canada. Mr. Pearson has received our requests to give the talk in individual fire schools.
Charles D. McMurray, instructor of remainship, and Clyde Babb, Extension representative, also attended the four-day meeting.
The conference was conducted by the western actuarial bureau. The bureau is the parent company of all late inspection bureaus.
The purpose of the meeting was to set up a pattern that can be followed by individual states. New ideas and information about fire prevention and modern equipment and practical methods for combating fires were discussed.

people.” Miss Loeffelmann says, “are generally glad to see a ‘turn for the West,’ but because of their position they must deal with both East and West and not offend either. It is a situation that calls for great diplomacy. As a whole we don’t mind the occupation too much,” she said. “We have had it for almost seven years now and have gotten used to it. We are accustomed to Russia saying ‘no’ when all the others say yes,” she added with a smile.
Miss Looefelmann said most of the people in Europe would not like General Eisenhower to leave his SHAPE job for a political campaign in America. "We are glad to see such a man as Eisenhower who is particularly interested in us heading the Western powers," she said.
When asked about the United Nations, she said, "The people of Austria naturally are not too interested in it because Austria is not a participating member. We appreciate the United Nations' efforts and would like to have faith in the UN, but most of the Austrian people are waiting to see if it will succeed before they place their hopes in it."
Miss Loeffelmann, who lives at Watkins hall, left Europe for the U. S. July 19. She is studying at KU under the sponsorship of the International Institute of Education. She will return to Austria in the fall to resume her law study at Graz for two years, after which she will be graduated with a doctor's degree.

Most Breakfasts Inadequate
A recent survey of eating places at K-State indicates that many students there are not eating the right kind of breakfast. Pancakes and eggs are the favorites for those who eat a big breakfast, while rolls, doughnuts and coffee are eaten by those short on time. Nutritionists advise that one-fourth of the day's calories be supplied by breakfast.
