Bibler At His Drawing Board
Bibler Now Draws Cartoons Studies For M.A. At Stanford
Dick Bibler, the creator of "Little Man On Campus," whose "Professor Snarf" and "Worthal" characters are tickling funnybones of collegiate readers from coast to coast, is now working for his master's degree at Stanford university.
Bibler, a veteran, started to college in 1946 and after winning an art contest became a cartoonist for the University Daily Kansan.
Now his cartoon characters are syndicated in 117 American college newspapers. And the man whom Prof. Emil L. Telfel describes as
"one of the more bright and cheerful notes in my years of classroom teaching" is also drawing a series of special football cartoons for the Stanford Daily.
Telfel, an associate professor in the School of Journalism, also men- tured the librarian's layout work, even while a student, "was of professional caliber."
After receiving his master of fine arts degree here, Bibler studied at Colonado State college. He is now married and has a three-month-old daughter.
Guests Coming Up For A Weekend? Need Rooms? Here's A Solution
By NANCY GROSS
Do your parents or girl friends have trouble finding a place to stay when they come to visit you?
The University housing office under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Nash can help you find accommodations.
Mrs. Nash said it is much easier to find a room if you contact her only a few days before the arrival of your guests. Landlady hesitate to make reservations three weeks in advance because they do not know what they will be doing at that time.
Young women students staying in rooming houses are subject to university regulations.
because private bathrooms are usually not available," said Mrs. Nash.
"One of the reasons such housing is cheaper than motels or hotels is
Rooms to accommodate small children are more difficult, but not impossible to obtain.
"We have more requests for overnight accommodations during football season and commencement than any other time," said Mrs. Nash.
To ask about accommodations, come to the housing office in the dean of women's office. 220 Strong.
Snakes, Athletes Have Sought Heat From Steam Tunnels Begun In 1898
By JIM POWERS
Beneath the surface of Mount Oread an intricate system of tunnels weaves along underground resembling a giant ant hill.
It has been estimated that there are 14 miles of heat lines between and underneath buildings on the campus. Several more lines are being added which will extend from the old heating plant to the new field house.
A large tunnel emerges from the north side of the old heating plant and runs in a straight line northward, intersecting two other tunnels 150 feet from the plant. These two tunnels carry steam heat westward as far as the observatory and eastward as far at Watkins hall.
It is almost impossible to go from one building to another without walking over at least one of the tunnels. An important part of the University heating system, they were built with much planning and at heavy cost to the state. The earliest tunnel dates back to 1898.
The main tunnels, 6 feet square, contain the main heat lines, which are 12 inches in diameter. In order to have a constant pressure at the end of a long line, it is sometimes necessary to send the steam out at a much greater pressure from the plant.
The temperature of the tunnels remain at around 120 degrees during the winter, which makes repair work a trifle uncomfortable. Years
ago, athletes utilized the hot und ground passages for losing
Many snakes have been caught killed in the passages, after the crawled through holes in the mahole covers, located in convenience places above the deeper tunnels.
One of the KU. maintenance me told about the difficulty of keeping students out of the tunnels seven years ago. When a jar of capture snakes disappeared from a frater nity house, nobody knew where the went, he said. A short time late however, a snake of the same size and species was caught in one of tl tunnels.
German Student Urges KU To Support Freedom Drive

Everybody knows what "Crusade for Freedom" means. It means at Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia are going to broadcast truth behind the Iron Curtain.
It means that balloons will carry pamphlets with information about the democratic world across the lines which separate two different worlds, the world of free spirit and the world of slavery and tyranny.
Perhaps not everybody knows of what importance this is. Nobody can imagine what it means to live without freedom, if he has not lost his own or not seen this with his own eyes.
The man who now appeals to everyone's help in this Crusade has seen and felt what Communism is. Gen. Lucius D. Clay was military governor in Germany for several years and lived in Berlin during the blockade.
He arranged the air-lift which became the only real victory of the Western powers in that "cold war." It was a sad day for Berlin when Gen. Clay left. But he promised never to stop helping us Berliners in our fight for freedom on our outpost of democracy within the Russian zone.
Last year the mighty "Freedombell" arrived on our "island". Now its sounds are broadcast in every home in the Eastern zone of Ger-

Insects Seem To Have The Right Idea They Let Their Women Do All The Work.
The males of the other social insects are as useful as company who have overstayed their welcome. The drones are tolerated. When food becomes short, the ladies lower the boom on the men and out the latter go.
In underlining the frailties of the human race, don't go overboard in plugging for the industrious society of the ants. To cast man in the same mold of any of the "social" insects would be no improvement and the ladies probably wouldn't like their new-found responsibilities, either.
Those conclusions may be drawn from "American Social Insects," a new book by Dr. and Mrs. Charles D. Michener, Dr. Michener is chairman of the University of Kansas entomology department.
In all, the Micheners devote 267 pages to the story of the habits and life histories of the social insects The volume is the third in an "Illustrated Naturalist" series put out by the D. Van Nostrand company. The story is scientifically accurate but is told in a popular vein.
There's no doubt about it—the woman is supreme among the social insects. All of them—bees, wasps, hornets, ants and termites and any other insects that live in colonies—have a queen. With the woman's authority comes responsibility. The females do all the work.
Home owners find little cheer in this. The male-female worker society couldn't have belonged to the honey-producing bees! No, they had to be termites, so the little 'nasties can devour the household timbers quicker.
The exception is the termites. The lady termites manage things a bit better and permit the males to share the work. For their labors the male termites get a king who lives with the queen.
You probably didn't know it—all social insects, and all insects of any kind, are six-footed. Yes, even the caterpillars. Those crawlers have
One of the 109 illustrations in the book is a picture of a worker bee dragging a weak drone out of the hive. Apparently the ladies starve the men a bit before applying the push into the cold, cold world.

about it. The ladies have the stinger

many appendages that do help propel them along, but only six are legs.
After a long day in the kitchen, mother may think her lot is little better than that of a bug. Maybe it is not even every day is like that for the bugs.
The big activity in the nest of any social insect, the Micheners report, is the trading of food. For instance, he termites have a way of passing each bit of food through two or three of them before the morsel is finally put away.
Paul Malone, director of the bureau of business research, will lead a panel discussion Tuesday at the annual conference of the Association of University Bureaus of Business and Economic Research. Mr. Malone's topic will be, "Methodology."
And imagine the plight of mama bee. On its last day as a larva or rub, the baby bee must be fed about 2,000 times!
Little wonder that the Micheners say it is foolish for people to try to model their society after insect society—just as the insects would be foolish for copying humans.

many. By far the greatest part of the population of East-Germany listens to the programs of Western stations.
RIAS-Berlin is the refuge for many persecuted persons and it helps where it is possible. The Soviets know its importance and try to suppress it.
I smoke to many people who assured me that they would be desperate if they could not hear the West Berlin radio-stations. It is their only connection with the free world. It gives them the faith that they are not alone and the spirit to persevere.
There is no doubt that Soviet propaganda is extremely effective. I know from my own experience. If
one cannot hear the democratic sit after a while he loses his opinio and finally believes what the rigorous propaganda-machine is beginning him hour after hour, day after day.
The Communists use every or portunity to spread propagand. They are the active part—and we We only discuss the problem. This is not enough. We must do something against it!
The situation in Germany is bad but still more favorable than Czechoslovakia where there is no more personal contact with people on the other side and no democratic broadcasting system. We must help the Czech people too, we also must try to reach Poland, the Balkan and Russia itself with out stations.
We need powerful stations. For these we need money. Our money In a totalitarian state it would be taken from you without any questions—in a democratic state we have the right to donate it. That is why a democratic government some times needs more time for its actions. We may be glad that it is not yet too late, but it is time to act. Let us participate in the "Crusade for Freedom." It is a chance for each individual to help.
