Unanswered Questions
Where are we going? What are we doing? What should we do next? How are we going to break out of this mad whirlpool headed toward destruction of ourselves and the world? How can we steer our ship of state into calm waters and keep out of another World War?
The Korean conflict is now three months old and its end seems near—but what will its end, an American victory, do to thin skins in the Kremlin? Will Indo-China, Iran, or Germany be next? When will it all stop—and what will be left when it does?
We're arming ourselves to the hilt, taxes are screaming upward to nobody knows where, 19-year-olds will be in the army by the new year. Our economy is booming because of huge war orders. Who's going to pay for them, and what are we going to do with the arms after we get them?
The world is rapidly becoming two camps armed to the very teeth on both sides—something must break to keep things going. Someone once said, "You don't build a house unless you expect to live in it."
No economy can support a huge military force for long if it remains idle, albeit in readiness. Something has to be done with all those men, machines, medical supplies, foodstuffs, etc. The orders have to keep flowing to balance the economy.
This all leads to one thing—a war to end wars. We don't know what most people think about these questions, but maybe most people aren't as close to the draft as some of us are.

Freedom of the press is a glittering generality which Americans take for granted, seldom realizing the occasional struggle which spokesmen of the media must undergo to maintain its status. A contemporary example of such a struggle can be found in the minor clash of ideas arising at K-State. It is a small scale threat, of course, but still not one to be ignored.

A proposed constitution recently drawn up by the student planning council for acceptance by the student body included a provision which would require the Collegian, student newspaper, to publish such information as the student president might deem necessary for the proper functioning of the government or the general well-being of the student body.
Wow! Here, buried among scores of other provisions in the proposed constitution, was a clause which could in effect make the student newspaper a personal organ of an all-powerful president.
Quick to react, the student publications board met with the Collegian policy board to formulate a protest. They objected to the articles which seemed to be taking away their freedom of the press.
Imagining the A.S.C. on our own campus trying to monopoize the Kansan by using it as a mouthpiece for the A.S.C. president enables one to realize the challenge confronting K-State journalists to maintain their independence.

Nazism: You keep the cows and give the milk to the government; then the government gives back part of the milk.
Nazism: The government shoots you and takes the cows.

An indignant professor who found that no student in his class could answer a vital question in a shotgun quiz reluctantly threw out the test papers when one alert student noted the information was obtained from chapter six in the text. Assignment for the day had included only chapters one, two, three, and four.
During a discussion of the League of Nations, a co-ed's condemnation of the Republican party as the agent responsible for the league's failure was terminated by this question from the professor: "When did you say your family moved to Kansas?"
World In Crisis seems to be the University's only course in which students may read a preview of each class session before attending and obtain lecture notes afterwards merely by reading the University Daily Kansan.
Undoubtedly the most realistic reproduction of a student's appearance is the photograph attached to his activity card, but no uproar of satisfaction has been heard concerning the little gems.

Newspapers are just like women—they both have forms, back numbers are not in demand, they always have the last word, they are well worth looking over, they have a good deal of influence, you can't believe all they say, there's small demand for the bold faced type, and every man should have one of his own and not borrow his neighbor's.
