"Believe it imperative that Truman and his gang be removed from office. Impeachment proceedings should be in order for safety of nation."
What Do You Want, Mac?—
This is an example of letters and telegrams which poured into Washington after President Truman fired General MacArthur.
What's the matter citizens, don't you read any farther than the headlines or the editorial page in your newspaper?
For a peace loving nation we certainly are raising a lot of whoop-tedo in favor of a man who wanted to expand the war in Asia.
MaeArthur wanted to bomb Communist bases across the Manchurian border from Korea and assist the Nationalists of Chiang Kai-Shek to open a second front on the Chinese mainland.
President Truman said that to do these things would be to run a grave danger of starting a general war—the situation we are trying to prevent. Even after Truman told MacArthur to stop making statements concerning policy in the East, the general refused to comply.
You. who will have to support a Third World War with muscle and money, sharpen your wits. We want peace don't we?

High Honor For Lonborg一
Lou Gehrig once hit four home runs in one game. John J. McGraw, the immortal manager of the New York Giants, died the same day and Gehrig's phenomenal feat went practically unheralded because of the import of the day's news.
Last Thursday the Kansan carried two of the biggest news stories of the year—the death of a K.U. professor in an automobile accident and the victory of a new party over the usually strong Pachacamac party.
As with Gehrig, the selection of Arthur C. "Dutch" Lonborg to the Helms Hall of Fame was shadowed by the import of the news of the day.
No greater honor could come to a man in the basketball world. The Helms Hall of Fame has a total of 38 coaches, players and contributors to the game including the 1951 selection of two coaches and two players.
Lonborg was chosen "Coach of the Year" in 1946 and that same year was named dean of Big Ten coaches, after 23 years as coach of Northwestern basketball teams. The past summer Lonborg, a native Kearns, returned to his alma mater as athletic director.
native Kansas returned to Indiana. Lonborg joins three other famous Kansans on the Helms Hall of Fame—the late Dr. James A. Naismith, originator of the game of basketball. Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, K.U.'s present coach and Paul Endacott, K.U. All-American who played at Kansas from 1921 to 1923.

The Trinity Times, Trinity college. Washington. D.C., recently polled female students on the following question: What is your opinion of the proposed drafting of women? Here are some of the answers:
"They might as well take us too because we're going to be awfully lonely without anyone around. If it's the choice of that or a gun factory, I'd rather be drafted."
"I don't think women should be drafted, because if they were, who would write letters to whom? Who would be waiting to welcome the boys home?"
"I don't believe in it. Women don't have the courage and stamina for such jobs. We have to take care of civil defense and the 'little things' at home."
"I'd go if they called me, but it's a little impractical. They could never take care of all of the women . . . I'd prefer the lady marines to the WAC's—their uniforms are so much cuter."
"The only way they'll get me is to draft me. We don't want to win a war and show up the boys. I'm too young to die for my country, but if it comes to an all-out war, I will volunteer."
"I don't think they ought to draft women. . . I'm all for drafting into industry though, but don't break up the home."
There are two reasons why some people don't mind their own business. The first is that they haven't any business. The second is obvious.

Henry Aldrich In Italy?
The Cambridge-K.U. debate held here April 13 reminded some of us of a fact we tend to forget—that Europeans see "the American way of life" as something less than perfect.
by Bibler
Hollywood's role in developing this attitude by depicting American life as artificial has been pointed out before. The effect of the quality of our motion pictures upon the people of other nations has not been as widely considered.
A comparison of two motion pictures may serve as an example.
"Monsieur Vincent," a French picture, takes as its theme the suffering of the common people in 17th century France and the work of a devout priest in helping these poor. The tone of the film is consistent with this theme, and in spite of its essentially emotional appeal the picture is free from "schmalz."
If Europeans gain their concept of the American way of life from the films we export,we'd better try to get Hollywood to raise its standards.—Lee Sheppeard.
"Up Front," a Hollywood production, is supposedly based on Bill Mauldin's fine description of the combat G.I. in World War II. But where the book dealt with the impact of war upon America's citizen-soldiers, the film is a sequence of supposedly humorous contrived situations. Instead of stealing the title of Bill Mauldin's masterpiece, the producers might have named the film "Henry Aldrich in Italy."
