Chance To Follow K-State Example
As this is written (Tuesday), a group of student representatives are about to drive to Kansas State college to discuss sportsmanship and the coming football game with a similar student group there.
For several years the student councils of the two schools have met annually to sign a peace pact. The pact hasn't really done much beside fix the financial responsibility for damage done by students on their student council.
Last year at the basketball game there, at least part of the K-State students tried to display a reasonable amount of sportsmanship. I can't recall a game here when the sportsmanlike segment of the K.U. crowd was large enough to be noticeable.
If Kansas State can do it, anybody can. We can try.
Inconsistent
Newspapers sometimes have a tendency to cry "Freedom of the Press!" whenever a situation arises that will restrict their activities, whether that noble liberty is really involved or not.
A trace of that tendency is beginning to show in the argument over President Truman's recent order tightening rules on release of security information by government agencies.
There is a possibility, even a probability, that some over-zealous officials will use the order as an excuse to keep non-security information from the press. It may offer some of them an opportunity to cover up mistakes.
But editors ought to remember that the President has to balance this danger against the danger of revealing military information. Obvious as that seems, some of them apparently don't realize it.
If the order turns out in practice to be a form of censorship, loud gripes will be justified, of course. Until that happens, it seems inconsistent for the same editors who have been complaining about poor administration security safeguards to complain about a move to strengthen them.

Frankly, we're amazed at how one of the newest fraternities on the campus has been able to get chapter rooms in so many different buildings. We know of at least a dozen places where Mu Epsilon Nu has its initials on the door.
Now that the government has balanced the U.S. by finding that the population center for the country is in the middle of an Illinois cornfield, do you suppose that they are ready to try to do the same with the budget?
If the lunch hour campanile concerts continue, we may be able to check the psychology theory of conditioned response. The test is to see if you become hungry whenever you hear the bells ring.
Yale men are having to do without maid service this year but it is doubtful that they will really miss it. The maids there are probably like those in hotels who only come around on the mornings you want to sleep late.

More Weird New Planes Planned For Air Force
Washington - (U.P.)- Flying aircraft carriers are being planned by the Air Force.
So are:
1. Convertiplanes for use in airborne army assaults behind enemy lines. They will take off and land vertically like helicopters and fly at high speed like airplanes.
3. Fighter planes that by 1955 should have speeds of more than 1,000 miles an hour and operating altitudes of more than 50,000 feet.
These are some of the Air Force research and development trends outlined by Maj. Gen. D. L. Putt, deputy chief of staff for development, in a paper for the society of Automotive Engineers at Los Angeles.
2. Guided missiles that will operate "over a period of hours completely unattended."
Putt said heavy transport planes now are called "logistics carriers"
He did not discuss the flying carriers further and air force public information officers could not elaborate. There was a time when the Air Force planned to carry a tiny parasite fighter, the XF-85, inside a B-36 bomber. The idea was to release the fighter for escort during the run over the target and then retrieve it. No fighter has the range to accompany a B-36 on its own.
Putt described the atomic-powered airplane now being developed as a "flying test bed that will have for all practical purposes an unlimited range." The first nation to have practical planes with nuclear power plants will have "tremendous advantages" of limitless range and endurance. The only limitation will be "tolerance of the crew."
and one mission of future types will be to "carry, launch, and retrieve 'parasite' fighter aircraft."

More Music Conscious?
Editor:
In regard to your so-called editorial of October 15 on the new program that the K.U. Sports network has under way—I can only say that as humor it is mediocre. In your attempt to put out your daily quota of words I feel that you have offended one of the few newly progressive phases of the University.
In so many of your recent articles you have harped about the outmoded conservatism of the University that to pick on a thing such as the Sports network seems hardly consistent.
For some 29 years KFKU has been ill, but when some therapeutic measures are taken the press ridicules the effort. I am not impressed, as you must be, that the plugs for K.U. are on the Del Rio, Texas, level to which you compare them.
As long as I am voicing an opinion I might also say that the comments which are printed in your paper and are supposedly from a cross-section of the students would be more convincing if their names didn't coincide with those of the Kansan staff
Don Christian College senior
The comments to which you refer were printed in Don Sarten's sports column and were not intended to be a "cross-section of the students," but only testimony to add weight to his claim that seats were not available for some students at the Iowa State game.
Museum Features Water Color Frieze
Editor's note: Sorry if the editorial offended anyone. It was not meant to "ridicule" or "pick on" KFKU at all, but only to lighten up the editorial page with a little (medioce) humor. I didn't mean to imply that the Sports network plugs weren't appropriate—I think they are.
The featured display this month at the Museum of Art is a frieze of water colors of the celebrated exemplar of modern dance. Isadora Duncan.
Author of the frieze is the contemporary artist Abraham Walkowitz. He portrays the famous dancer in a series of dance poses which are more studies in form than in detail. Several of the larger paintings, however, give more facial detail.
The water colors were lent to the Museum by Mrs. E. Haldeman-Julius of Girard, widow of the publisher of the Little Blue Book series.

Approve Bill For Flood Aid
Washington—(U.P.)A House-approved bill to provide $53,440,000 for midwestern flood relief has been approved by the Senate appropriations committee.
The group turned down a move to increase the amount provided by the measure. The bill, in addition to providing funds for stricken midwest areas, boosts from 40 million to 100 million dollars funds available to the Reconstruction Finance corp. for relief of flood-ravaged areas.
Ike Quiet As Taft Woos
Washington—(U.P.)-Sen. Robert A. Taft was out wooing the nation's Republican audience today while Dwight D. Eisenhower's backers scurried in the wings hopefully grooming the general for his entrance. The consensus was that Gen. Ike had better speak his lines and his mind quickly before the second act began.
Moderate Premier Named
Karachi, Pakistan—(U.P.)-Assassinated Premier Liaquat Ali Khan was buried today and British-educated moderate, Khwaja Nazimuddin, took over control of the Pakistan government.

Tehran, Iran—(U.P.)-Five Iranian planes, packed with high explosives, are standing by to suicide dive bomb any British war ships in the Persian gulf which attempt to reoccupy the huge Abadan oil refinery.

1,300 Convicts End Mutiny
Westover Air Force Base, Mass.—(U.P.)—An airsea search armada of more than 100 planes and ships converged today 490 miles east of Cape Cod where a blinking light and faint SOS calls gave hope for the safety of 11 men who vanished in an Air Force stratocruiser.
A public information officer said the light "was seen on and off by various aircraft" during the night. None, however, was able to determine its source, nor was the Coast Guard cutter McCulloch which also reported seeing an unexplained red light in the area.
Government Ethics 'High'
Search For 11 Lost At Sea
Washington—(U,P)—A Senate subcommittee on ethics reported today that the integrity of the federal government "is relatively high" but should be higher.
"Most public servants," the five-man subcommittee said in an 89-page report, "are honest and faithful." It added that the "ethical standards of public officials are probably higher than those prevailing in business and other walks of life." But the Senators said, the need for high standards of integrity "has grown even faster than the standards have risen."
