PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, MAY 17, 195 Marvin Arth the editorial page . . . New Portrait Of Malott?— We decided to go look at the new portrait of Chancellor Malott after running Allyn Browne's letter to the editor Tuesday. It isn't very good. The portrait now hanging in the second floor hall of Strong just doesn't measure up to the calibre of the portraits of former chancellors hanging there. A portrait for such an outstanding chancellor as Deane W. Malott should be a true and flattering likeness—a lasting memory. The present portrait isn't. In fact, we believe Mr. Browne has a case and would like to see a fund started for a new portrait. We called Mr. Browne and he said that he would be glad to head such a drive. Chancellor Malott's portrait will be the principal personal memory left for those students who come after us. Buildings and achievements will revere his memory, but the portrait will show them the man behind it. This portrait should be an exacting representation It's getting late in the semester to start a regular drive for such a matter, but after talking to Allyn Browne he has consented to see such a drive through. It would be a spontaneous one, moved by students themselves. Action now is the essential thing. Contributions may be sent to Browne at 1020 Maine in Lawrence. You Never Know — You never know what will result from an act that was originally well-intentioned. The other day I wrote a letter to the editor criticizing the tone of the "Declaration against War" adopted by the Socialist Study club. Several people have commented to me on the letter, saying they agreed with it. I didn't mind that at all—but they added comments like "Damn Reds" and "They ought to do something about that Socialist Study club." Yeah? Do what? Why? The implication behind the remarks was obvious—that we have a cell in our midst, a group of budding William Z. Fosters. That's a brilliant job of critical thinking by young men who are being trained as future leaders of our great democracy. It's not surprising, of course; these cerebral nonentities have plenty of inspiration. Senator Joe "The white and blue are O.K., but no more red" McCarthy and the Anti-Loyalty committee are having jolly sport kicking reputations around and trying to convince us that firemen wear red suspenders because of their subversive tendencies. Those unfortunates who signed leftist petitions back in 1931, under the impression that they were promoting repeal of prohibition, are beginning to look apprehensively over their shoulders. But college students should have more sense. Twelve-plus years of education should at least teach the ability to distinguish between Communism and socialism. If students in a university aren't developing enough judgment to learn something about an organization before they boldly condemn it, what hope is there for an informed public opinion 20 years from now? The kindly citizen who supports Aid to Starving Patagonians may be in grave danger if we ever go to war with Patagonia—Lee Sheppeard. Francis Kelley galley-west I'll lay odds that at sometime or other your name has been misspelled. And I'll also lay odds that when it happened you did a slow burn for a while. It's downright exasperating to find that the one name you can spell correctly every time is misspelled by others so much of the time. I know just how it is. . . . . Take my name, for instance. I've never had any trouble spelling it. F-r-a-n-c-i-s J. K-e-l-l-e-y. Simple, isn't it? In a pig's eye it is . . . Every school month for the past four years, I've been getting a subsistence check from the federal government. How is it addressed? Why, Francis J. Kelly, of course. And only yesterday I was glancing through the last section of the Jayhawker yearbook. The Jayhawker staff roped off a corner of one page and donated it to the infamous Sour Owl. My name listed there was Frances J. Kelley. Last year after I successfully passed the almighty English proficiency examination the English department listed my name as one of the survivors. At least I think it was my name. They spelled it Frances J. Kelly. But the topper of them all came last week when replies to Kansas Board dinner invitations filtered in. One upstanding editor, who shall remain anonymous here, addressed his reply to Dean Burton W. Marvin of the School of Journalism. Said he: "... I want to thank you and Miss Kelly for your kind invitation. ..." That's all, brother! by Bible You know, there's only one guy I know who hasn't had his name misspelled in the past five years. He's a former army acquaintance now doing 10 years in Alcatraz. I got a letter from him a while back and he was mad as hops. Seems that someone transposed his number . . . (Because of space limitations, the editor reserves the right to condense letters of more than 100 words. Anonymous letters should be published, but names will be withheld on request. Letters should be addressed to the editor of the Kansan.) Letters— Agreement On Malott To the editor: After reading Allyn Browne's letter to the editor in Tuesday's Kansan, I felt compelled to add my support to the movement for placing an appropriate potrait of Chancellor Malott in Strong hall. K.U. students, past and present, who see the potrait which is now serving as the only physical reminder of the fine man who is leaving us in June, will not see a true representation of Chancellor Malott. I would be willing to contribute money to have a new potrait painted and I am sure many of you would also. Mary Louise Fischer Education Senior Duce Likes Twain Yestervears (From U.D.K.

Nov. 19, 1825] Premier Beni Mussolini of Italy today sent his check of $230 to the Mark Twain Memorial fund as a contribution toward erecting a Mark Twain memorial in St. Louis. Mussolini, an honorary president of the fund, said in an accompanying letter that "Mark Twain has been, and remains one of my favorite authors." What Else? (From U.D.K. May 5, 1936) (From U.D.K. May 5, 1926) A former president of the Triangle fraternity had to make a speech at the annual Parents' Day dinner last Sunday. Desiring to be impressive he went to the library to get some material on the subject of Mother's day. What should the librarian give him but a book on maternity. He decided to change his subject.
