STUDENT NEWS PAPER
Opinion Strong Force, Kansan Speaker Says
American public opinion is forcing us toward war faster than Russia, John P. Harris, editor of the Hutchinson News-Herald, told 125 persons at the annual Kansan board dinner May 19.
Russia doesn't want war. They're waiting for us to collapse economically," Harris said. "But if we took a straw vote today, the American public would say "We've got all these atom bombs, planes, guns, and ammunition; let's go ahead and use them."
Harris characterized the American people as too impulsive, too impatient with restrictions and sacrifices.
"Look how much better the U.N is than the League of Nations," he said. "If we have patience, we may get somewhere."
"We don't think of war beyond terms of someone running up the white flag" he said. "We still don't have a program for Germany or Japan.
Harris said, however, that we are slowly defeating the idea of nationalism and the world may someday have a really effective international government.
Harris, who has visited Europe several times since World War II said he used to be an isolationist, but he has reversed his feeling and whole-heartedly supports the Marshall plan.
"We seem to be seriously contemplating war with Russia but what is our Russian program? Why, to bomb Moscow. But after bombing Moscow, what have you got? Six or seven million hungry people to feed."
"We are not strong enough to beat Russia alone," he said. "Within 18 months Western Europe should have an army which will give the Russians pause in any war."
Harris also opposed extension of the war in the Orient. The United States is not fighting Communism in the East but rather a revolutionary condition, he said.
"It would be almost impossible to win a war in the Orient," he said. The Japanese tried it, and after years of war and many miles of advances they were still a long way from the Chinese government, he went on.
"In World War II we had a decision to make and we decided that the Atlantic theater was more important than the Orient. We should stick to that decision in the present crisis," he said.
Tau Sigma Recital Well Received
Bv JOHN PATTINSON
"The Lamp Post," annual spring recital of Tau Sigma, dance fraternity, was well received by a small audience in Fraser theater May 16. The production was repeated May 17.
Mourners, Remberance, and New Orleans Nocturne were the scenes most popular with the audience. Uncertainty and raggedness detracted feeling from the Mourners but the silhouette dance by Miss Elaine Kutschinski, Tau Sigma's sponsor, and Terryl Francis, College senior, added strength to the production.
The Morning Rush scene gave a lively beginning to the recital, however, the program slowed down considerably in the next two scenes. Vivid feeling was best expressed by The Neighbors, a scene which showed neighborhood women exchanging the latest gossip. It was executed smoothly and cleverly.
The production was adapted from the story by Hans Christian Andersen. It depicted life as seen by a lamp post on a New Orlean's street corner.

Ronnie's Fund Is Only $101 Short Of Goal
With a Kansan board donation of $1,000, the Romnie Ewert Scholarship fund now stands at $2,899, only $101 short of its goal of $3,000.
Announced at the Kansan board dinner Saturday night, the contribution came at the close of the second week of the drive to insure a college education for the orphaned son of the University Daily Kansan faculty advisor. The 6-year-old boy's parents, Prof. and Mrs. Walter E. Ewert, and his sister Sylvia, were killed in April in an Iowa automobile accident.
Gov. Ed. F. Arn contributed $10 to the fund Friday. Over the week-end the Inter-fraternity council's donation of $50 and contributions of $ from Doris Greenbank, '51, and Henry Bubb, past president of the alumni association, were received.
Ronnie is recovering from his accident in Watkins hospital, and is reported happy and coming along well. Professor Ewert's mother is here taking care of the boy.
Once the goal of $3,000 is reached, the money will be placed with the Endowment association to be invested, Edward Chapin, chairman of the drive committee, said. In 12 years the fund will grow to more than $4,000, which will be available to Ronnie when he is 18, wherever he goes to school. He will probably get $1,000 a year for four years, Chapin said.
Contributions to the fund can be brought to the business office of the University Daily Kansan or sent to the Ronnie Ewert fund, Journalism building. K.U.

the Daily Kansan Will Tell The Malott Story' In Tuesday's Issue
The "Malott Story" will appear in the University Daily Kansan Tuesday, May 22.
During the 12 years that Chancellor Deane W. Malott has been head of the University, new buildings have been constructed and administrative improvements have been introduced.
K. U. is richer by 10 buildings: Battenfeld, Templin, Jolliffe, Foster, and Lindley halls, the Military Science building, the Engineering experimental building, Danforth chapel, New Fowler shops, and North College hall.
Construction of the new fieldhouse and the science building will start in the near future. Addition of the west wing of Watson library, expansion of the Memorial Union now in progress, construction of the Memorial campanile, and rebuilding of Old Fowler shops to house the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information have come during his administration.
Since 1939 the School of Journalism has been created from the old department, the requirements of Western civilization, biology, speech, and four semesters of English introduced, and the Navy R.O.T.C. unit established.
But these things are known to most of the students. The buildings and curricula are only part of the story.
The man who dug dandelions in front of Strong hall, who skied on his front lawn, who rode in the nightshirt parade, even the man who was hanged in effigy—this makes up the "Malott Story."
Victorious Allied forces smashed at the retreating Reds in hot pursuit on the western and west central fronts.
Allied tanks and foot troops thrust back into Munsan and Uijongbu on the Seoul front. On the east central front, where 24.700 Reds.were killed or wounded Sunday, the U.S. Second division reported finding only platoons and companies where battalions and regiments were attacking before.
In between, on the west central front, a Red withdrawal turned to virtual flight. Communists aban donned their Pukhan river bridge-head 20 miles northeast of Seoul and streamed north with the Allies hot on their heels.
Scattered rearguard clashes broke out as the Reds turned and fought occasionally to keep the pursuing Allies from overrunning their retreat.
The enemy withdrawal heightened speculation that the Reds were satisfied to have driven United Nations forces from their last foothold in North Korea and now were pulling back north of the 38th parallel.
2 Appointed To Faculty
The appointments of William W. Hambleton and John Imbrie as assistant professors of geology to the University were announced today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.

A native of Pennsylvania, he holds the A.B. degree from Franklin and Marshall college and the M.S. degree from Northwestern university. He will teach courses in petrography and economic geology, formerly taught by Blakemore E. Thomas.
