Thought for the Day
There can be no defense like elaborate courtesy. Edward Lucas.

From the March 17 issue of Collier's magazine which named Clyde Lovellette a an All-American basketball star:
A GOOD CLIMATE FOR ASTHMA
How Indiana's other All-American, Lovellette, strayed all the way from Terre Haute to Manhattan, Kansas, to play basketball has never been adequately explained. Dr. F. C. (Phog) Allen, the Kansas coach, once informed an inquiring reporter that Lovellette, who allegedly received scholarship offers from 52 colleges, matriculated at Kansas "because the altitude helps his asthma." Pursuing this matter further, the reporter discovered that the University of Kansas is built on a hill which towers 180 feet higher than downtown Manhattan.
Any fool knows that 180 feet is just not correct.—E. J. C.
Perhaps An Answer
The philosophy of Jesus Christ has tried to fulfill that need by giving a purpose to life. This week has been designated as Religious Emphasis Week at the University. Many outstanding speakers will lecture and hold discussions to help students understand how to meet the confusion and frustration that so characterizes our time.
Religion is a very personal matter in our lives. It can play a quiet, unobtrusive part or be a tremendous force in our actions. Many of us may have given it little thought.
There are times, moments in our lives, when strain or danger is so great that we feel unable to cope with the situation. There are moments of great personal grief that cause us to seek help. In many cases that help can come only from a faith or belief in something higher than man.
meet the confusion and illustration In Christianity, some of us may find the answers to our problems all of us should at least consider it.—E. J. C
Don't become alarmed if the University seismograph records a large tremor on March 15. It will just be John Ise blowing his top because he has to pay so much income tax.
What's that old pitch about K.U.?. . . Bailey Chem lab stinks, right next door it's still Strong, and right across the street it's even Fowler. . Something like that.
Basketball coaches in Hoch are known for jumping off the bench frequently which all goes to prove the inadequacy of Hoch restrooms.
Income tax time again, and we wonder how many rocks itll cost the geology profs.

United Nations flags are displayed in the rotunda of Strong hall
Rotunda Displays Flags Of All United Nations
Flags of 54 nations hang in the rotunda of Strong hall. To the 133 foreign students who attended the University during the fall semester these flags are more than a piece of cloth on a standard. They represent a symbol of a way of life.
"A thoughtful mind, when it sees a nation's flag, sees not the flag only, but the nation itself, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the nation that sets it forth." Henry Ward Beecher once said.
University students should have a clear understanding of what each flag stands for. This is essential not only to an intelligent approach to the world's problems, but to the understanding of the attitudes of the persons who live under each of these flags.
Of course, to the American there is only one flag—and this is probably rightly so. For a national spirit is about all that we have left of our tradition of the "best in the world."
And the truth of this statement in view of the pending world conflict should be more evident now than at the time the flags were first displayed in 1944.
One nation's flag, when it was hung in the rotunda, was viewed as radical. This is the ensign of the U.S.S.R. But it is now evident that we can no longer merely dismiss as radicals those who fight under the flag of the U.S.S.R. Changing conditions must of necessity bring changes in thinking.
Another ensign bears the hope of the entire world. It is a flag whose history has, we hope, only begun. This is the flag of the United Nations. Written in its folds is the

story of the efforts of the nations of the world to establish an organization for the maintenance of world peace.
It is perhaps symbolic that the flags of 54 nations should fly, side by side, with that flag. And it can only be hoped that the peoples of the world might someday walk side by side in a united world in the same dignity with which these flags repose in the rotunda of Strong hall.
