Now Is The Hour
Recognition of Communist China by the United Nations poses one of the most important problems facing both the U.N. and the United States.
While China's Nationalist government clings to its bastion of Formosa—held for them by the grace of the U.S. seventh fleet Moa Tze-tung is consolidating China into what Chiang Kai-shek tried to do and failed—a unified nation.
Britain is the major Western power to recognize Red China. India has sided with Russia in the General Assembly of the United Nations in requesting that Red China be admitted to the U.N.
The United States is not only opposing states of the world when it refuses to recognize Red China, but it is also violating a fundamental rule of international law. Nationalist China no longer represents the hundreds of millions of Chinese. It is Mao's regime which is the spokesman for the Chinese people. Mao's China possesses the four main attributes of a state—defined territory, population, sovereignty, and government. And Mao's Communists represent that government and control four-fifths of the territory of China.
According to international law, Red China, not Nationalist China, is now a state. To continue refusing recognition of it is pure folly.
This aspect is not the United States' only perplexity. Until one nation has recognized another, international disputes cannot be mediated or settled. If the United States does not recognize Red China as a state, it cannot argue a case against it in the U.N. or negotiate with it concerning civil or military incidents, which may surely come if the Korean war spreads to include use of Chinese Communist troops. And in the light of events of the past few days this is more than a probability.
State department policies and military planning have pushed the United States into this position. Chiang, once before discarded by the West, will again be unceremoniously dumped by the U.S.
Both international law and the present status of the United States-Red China relations indicate that Red China will be admitted to the United Nations. In a speech on Sept. 30 to a Republican convention of the state of Washington, Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley declared that the Truman administration will move to recognize Communist China immediately after the election, and then seat Red China in the United Nations. Added impetus from Britain and other Western powers will undoubtedly keep the U.S. from vetuing the admittance of Red China the first time the issue arises in the U.N., after the election.
Thus Russia will have its Asiatic partner in the United Nations. This will enable Russia to put the burden of vetoring and the publicity for doing so on Red China. Inasmuch as it will improve Russia's position, the U.S. will have to consent to Red China's admittance to the U.N.
United States prestige will drop in bowing to the Communists, but China's sad situation will be past and the U.S. will be relieved of the ridiculous position it has occupied in this controversy. Marvin Arth.
Vive La Video
Dear Ma and Pa,
This place called K.U. is bout the most excitin place I've ever been in. Gosh knows it ain't cause of my teachers, or text books, or that there's so many places to go at night. But I just saw Notre Dame beat South Carolina by a touchdown, and I mean saw. Next week I'm gonna see the world series, and that ain't all. Every night, and all day when I ain't goin to class I can see movie stars, famus bandleaders, mystery thrillers, old-time vauduiville shows, and even them soap-operas you listen to, Ma.
You probably don't believe me but, you see, it's like this. Last Saturday they got some kind of a cable rigged up between Kansas City and New York that brings all them top-notch eastern television programs clear from New York city in a thousandth of a second. I don't know how they can stuff their pictures into a cable and get them out here in that short a time, but they're gettin em here anyhow, and that's all I'm worrying in about.
This little eaf-aye where I spend all my time now has a television set, and anybody that wants to can go in an just sit an watch it, long as you buy a cup of coffee every now and then. You see, there wasn't near as many good programs on before they got this cable fixed up, but now there good all the time.
All them books I payed so much money for last week is gettin kind of dusty this week. I don't know when I'm gonna find time to study with all thin goin on up here. I still ain't doin so good in that French course I takein, but what the heck, Ma! I learned enough last week to say all I want to, and that's vive la video!
Your lovin son.
Will.

During a discussion of politics, a student asked, "What about statesmen?"
"Statesmen, what's that?" scuffed the professor. "A statesman is nothing but a dead politician."
B. M.O.C.: Do you know why they call Hadacol, Hadacol? Sweet young thing: No. Why? B.M.O.C.: Well, they Had-a-col it something.
Worth Its Weight In Gold, Maybe
Dear Editor:
The confiscation of the I.D. cards of the students who give their cards to friends for a football game is downright unfair. I have talked to a number of students, and without exception each one has agreed with me.
I will cite my own case as an example of the injustice of the plan. I work every Saturday and when I came to K.U. to pay my fees I knew that I would not be able to see a single football game. And yet I had to lay cash on the line to purchase an activity ticket. I bought a seat for five games—none of which I would be able to attend. Does it seem a crime then for me to allow one of my friends to occupy the seat that I have already paid for?
My roommate wanted to bring a girl from a neighboring college to the homecoming game. In order to be able to sit with her he had to buy two tickets on the opposite side of the field for $5—and yet, my ticket will not be used.

'Four-Way Test'
Title Of Desk Card
"Four-Way Test" is the title on a small card sitting on the desk of Karl Klooz, University bursar. Under the title are listed four questions.
They are: Is it the Truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good will and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Mr. Klooz said the card is one of many printed and handed out to all members of the Rotary club of Lawrence by Riley Burcham, vicepresident of the Lawrence National bank, when he was president of the club two years ago. The idea originated with a Chicago manufacturer, Mr. Klooz thought.

Kansas Educators Study State Primary Schools
What are the distinguishing features of an excellent elementary school in Kansas?
The answer to this question is sought by several Kansas educational agencies working under the direction of Dr. Cloy S. Hobson, associate professor of education.
Two years ago the curriculum commission of the Kansas State Department of Public Instruction initiated a study to determine the definition of a good elementary school.
Working with Dr. Hobson on the University of Kansas campus for four weeks during the summer, a workshop composed of 12 elementary school principals, teachers, and directors began developing a preliminary check-list of features found in the better elementary schools. This workshop, in continuing its work through the year, will send the preliminary check-list to approximately 800 elem en tary school teachers Wednesday, Nov. I. One hundred and fifty schools have volunteered their services in this preliminary evaluation.
The members of the workshop will attend sessions of the Kansas State Teachers association meetings throughout the state on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Nov. 1, 2, and 3. Two members will be at each meeting in Topeka, Wichita, Hays, Salina, Chanute, and Garden City to discuss the program for the study with elementary school teachers.
This check-list gives an opportunity for teachers to express their reactions to the listed features and the place of each feature in their respective school. Under consideration are: philosophy and objectives, curriculum, staff, school plant, and school and community inter-relations.
On the basis of these returns a second check-list will be submitted to all elementary teachers in first and second class cities of Kauai Dec. 1. The information on this second check-list, which will be collected during the months of March and April, will then be used for the establishing of criteria for school evaluation.
