PAGE TEN UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1948 The Editorial Page- Punishment Leonard Eilers, the Milwaukee man who was arrested recently for playing "Mule Train" on juke boxes at least 481 times in one wild spree, shouldn't have been given probation. He should have been required to drive a real, live 40-mule train across a couple of western states with no time off for applying linament. Yeeeeeeah! —The Columbia Missouri We noticed in one of the United Press dispatches recently one of the most startling bits of news we've seen in a long time. It seems that Princess Margaret has purchased a "wicked" dress Point Of View While we admittedly don't travel in quite the same social sphere as Princess Margaret, we're always interested to hear such fascinating tidbits of information about her. We also think it nice of the United Press to delay such trivia as news about the Russians' atomic bomb, revolution in the Balkans and bloodshed in China so we can be the first to know that Margaret's new dress has a plunging neckline which she was forced to sew up. We would like to ask the United Press to inform Princess Margaret that we have purchased a "wicked" new tie, which our parents won't let us wear until the hand-painted nudes adorning it have been decently attired.—D.R. in the Iowa State Daily Does a college education unfit women for their roles as wives and mothers? Men In Disguise Consider the question for a moment and think just how men "technical" training you are getting for your future role as a wife and mother. Not too much, eh? Are you getting gypped? Have you been slickered by the educators? Are you being made into a "man in disguise?" A graduate of Barnard, eastern college for women, had this to say about it: "No one would hire a stenographer who cannot type, but we expect men to marry us whether or not we can cook, no matter how little we know about children. It is appalling." The educational system is undoubtedly streamlined to fit men. Its unfortunate degeneration has resulted in the art of making a living rather than the art of living. Women have been swept into the maggot gag of commercialism. Domesticity is still the mainstay of civilization, regardless of the career "gals." Actually, no drastic change needs to be made in the feminine college curriculum per se, but a readjustment of college courses should be made to equip young women for their future roles. A kitchen may not be as romantic as the stage, but chances are it's a better way to keep a husband. Men who run from home are usually escaping an empty one. —J. R. in the Oklahoma Daily Supersonic Pilot Flies High, Wide, And Handsome In X-1 Hamlin, W.Va.—(U.P.)—The first supersonic flier has said that the air force's "obsolete" X-1 rocket ship has been flown by eight men at speeds of almost 1,000-miles-an-hour in tests to gather data for four improved rocket models. Charles Yeager, 26-year-old air force captain, disclosed at his home here that eight of the 12 pilots who tested the X-1 at Wright-Patterson Air Force base, Dayton, Ohio, flew the ship "more than 200 miles faster than the speed of sound." He declined for security reasons to disclose the maximum speed that the rocket ship achieved. However, since sound travels at the rate of 760-miles-an-hour at sea level it meant the plane at least came close to the 1.000-mile an-hour mark. Captain Yeager said the rocket ship is being junked by the aerial arm of the military and four new and improved models are coming off the drawing boards or assembly lines. Captain Yeager was the first flies to crack the supersonic barrier two years ago in an experimental flight at the Muroc, Calif., air base. A new X-4 already is being built by Northrup Aviation company, he said, and Douglas Aircraft company is blueprinting the X-3, Bell aircraft company the X-2 and probably the X-5. "We're practically with through the plane," he said. "We have about the data we want from it and push it up to about the most it will go." The aerial ace said the X-1 was not developed as a definite fighting craft, but principally "to get data on how to best build" supersonic Carlyle S. Smith, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology, will speak on "The American Indians" at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 5 before Phil Alpha Theta, honorary history fraternity, in the English room of the Union. Professor Smith explained that the term "American Indians" refers to all native people of North and South America, not just those of the United States and Canada. Smith Will Speak On 'Indians' Jan. 5 "In some aspects, a better term for Latin America would be Indian America," Professor Smith said. He said the physical effects of such flights were no different than "an armchair at home". Prohibitive fuel costs is one of the main barriers to commercial aviation in the supersonic, Captain Yeager said. Professor Smith, who is assistant curator of the Museum of Natural "It will be a long time before passenger liners can expect to fly at these speeds," he said. The X-1 burns up about 600 gallons of liquid oxygen and alcohol in about $2\frac{1}{2}$ minutes. combat planes. Movies Dear Editor: On other campuses, cooperation between students and the administration has brought about the showing of films which are not usually included in the programs at the regular theaters. We feel that there is enough interest among K. U. students to justify a similar program here. Such a program would provide an opportunity to see great movies of the past and foreign films which are not shown in Lawrence or in most of the communities in which K. U. students will eventually live. Won't you join us in assuring the administration that if they'll show the movies, we'll show up? Mabel Conderman Dale Judy Albert Roland Jim Webb Jean Francisco Elizabeth LeSeur Craig Hampton James O'Hara Barbara Nash Don Hull Betty van der Smissen Dorothy Scroggy Baird Beverly Jennings Nancy Smith M. David Riggs Marjorie Crane Marie Schumacher Bob Thayer Maxine Holsinger Editor's note: This seems like a good idea. If such a program is started, it would no doubt have complete student support. Let's hope that the above people and the administration can get together. Kitchen Sink Is Left When House Is Robbed He was accompanied by representatives of the Smithsonian institute and the National Park service. The professor plans to leave next summer with an expedition to excavate a pit on the cliffside on the Creek Indian reservation, north of Chamberlain, S. D. Memphis—(U.P) — When the big moving van pulled up to the front door of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Hicks' residence, neighbors didn't think anything was amiss. But the Hicks did, once they got home. Strangers carted away two bedroom suites, one living room suite, an ice box, a kitchen oil stove, a wood and coal circulation heater, a washing machine, tables and chairs, and the family clothes. History, recently returned from a trip during which he surveyed prospective archaeological sites for excavation in the upper Missouri river basin.
