Thought for the Day
Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side. —James Russell Lowell.

Alice In Wonderland
Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R.-Wisc.) has again accused the state department of harboring Communists.-News Item.
"Very true," said the Duchess; "flamingoes and mustard both bite. And the moral of that is—'Birds of a feather flock together.'"
"Only mustard isn't a bird." Alice remarked.
"Right as usual," said the Duchess, who seemed ready to agree to everything that Alice said; "there's a large mustardmine near here. And the moral of that is—'The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours.'"
“Oh, I know!” exclaimed Alice, “it's a vegetable. It doesn't look like one but it is.”
"Oh, don't talk about trouble!" said the Duchess. "I make you a present of everything I've said as yet."
"I quite agree with you," said the Duchess; "and the moral of that is—Be what you would seem to be'—or if you'd like it put more simply—Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."
"I think I should understand that better," Alice said very politely, "if I had written it down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it."
"Pray don't trouble yourself to say it any longer than that," said Alice.
"A cheap sort of present!" thought Alice. "I'm glad they don't give birthday presents like that." But she did not venture to say it out loud. —E.J.C.
Polio Drive Continues
The March of Dimes needs everyone's support. Right here in Douglas county there were 15 polio victims during the past year. Two of those afflicted were in their early twenties and both died. No more tragic evidence is needed to show the vital necessity to eliminate this disease. Your dimes will go a long way in helping the National Foundation reach this goal.
No solicitation has been made on the Hill because of finals' week. During this week and next, a booth will be in the Union lobby where it will be possible for students to give to this cause. If you don't happen to stop in the Union, mail your contribution to M. C. Slough, chairman of the University polio drive, Green hall.
Kansas State wants $110 to do $30 worth of repairs on their goal posts. We're glad to know someone's making inflation pay off.
Little Man On Campus
"Worthal, it appears to me that if you have taken the assignment ready—you could."
Museum Of Art Is Being Redone
An American wing will be one of the features of the Museum of Art after present remodeling by the building and grounds department has been completed.
John Maxon, director of the museum, said the building will be in the best condition since 1941. The entire building is being remodeled and complete new wiring, heating and plumbing are being installed.
The American wing, which will feature American paintings, furniture, decorative arts, textures, China, glass and metal works will be only one of the new features of the remodeled building. Many of the exhibition rooms are being re-arranged and new rooms added. The former Glass room will be reserved for sculptures. The China room is now set aside for Roman provincial art and the Oriental collection will be on the lower floor. A temporary exhibition room has been added.
The main floor of the museum will be completely reconstructed and refinished. Screen walls will be used for hanging pictures. The sun-ash woodwork trim in the main and upper halls has had the paint stripped and is now finished with a natural surface. The galleries on the second floor have new ceilings and new lighting. The lower floor which formerly consisted of small classrooms will have a lecture room seating 200.
The Public's Pulse
A Sweetheart
Dear Editor:
Being a former student of the University of Kansas, I know that the UDK, as always, has the latest news. So I thought I would send you a little news from the Air Force.
Our Flight, 602, picked a sweetheart from the pictures the boys have of the girls back home. Our Flight picked Miss Sue Taylor, a Gamma Phi Beta, to be our sweetheart. Her picture was chosen by the Flight chiefs of more than fifty Flights. The K.U. boys here are very proud to have our sweetheart be a K.U. girl.
About eight men of the 70 in our Flight are from K.U. I feel very fortunate that it was Sue that was chosen to be sweetheart of Flight 602, Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.

A Good Reason
As the Chi O snow float went by in today's homecoming parade, with its scantily clads, a little boy standing with his mother on the corner of Massachusetts and Ninth streets was overheard to say, "Now I know I'm going to K.U."
(From the UDK Nov. 23,1941)
