PAGE SIX UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1940 The Editorial Page- Armed Forces Unification We wish the armed forces would stop trying to cut each other's throats and start getting unified. Up to now, unification of the armed forces has been a surface job. Officers of the various services have stood beside each other on reviewing stands, "chummy" press releases have come from Washington, plans have been made to combine the different service days into one "armed forces day." Jealousy and one-track minds have predominated on matters of real importance, however. The latest fight between the Navy and the Air Force over aircraft carriers versus long-range bombers is an example. It would be hard to name a winner of the dispute. The Navy succeeded in getting construction started on the 60,000 ton carrier U.S.S. United States, but they also had 300 million dollars whacked off of their appropriation for new aircraft. Nor can long-range bombers fight a war and win victory alone. There's still a place for the foot soldier, and there's still a place for the aircraft carrier. A bomber recently took off from a carrier deck and flew non-stop across the nation and back to the carrier. One thing certain is that the American people aren't the winners in intraservice competition. Disastrous policies of the past should provide a guide. No one service is going to win a war. The atomic bomb and guided missiles have changed warfare, but the age of push-button wars hasn't been reached yet. The atomic bomb and its carrying agents aren't going to win any future wars alone. The establishment of one big service branch with several satellite branches won't deter anyone with aggressive ideas for long. This business of reading about the great strides made towards unification one day and the next day reading about military and naval lobbies which are defeating unification is discouraging. We hope unification is successful soon, but until it is successful we can do without the pretense. So many ways in which students can invest their time are presented while they are in college that few of them find the energy or hours for a hobby. This is regrettable. A Hobby Is A Hobby A hobby is, or should be, a means to get away from daily routine, a means to relax the mind. It should be a way to happiness, also, for working at a hobby is not work at all. We can do as we wish, without compulsion, sheerly for the pleasure of doing. A hobby can be anything that affords enjoyment, because when we have a hobby, we have it for no other reason than for the satisfaction it gives us. When it is no longer a delight, it should be discarded like a blown-out tire. Perhaps after graduation more of us will find the time and the need for a hobby again. Having a hobby is a hobby in itself—that of making the most of time. —Douglas Jennings.

Tel...Kay Dyer Society Editors...Mary James Norma Hunsinger Goethe, said to be Germany's greatest poet, spent 60 years in writing the two parts of "Faust." He began the first part in 1774 and completed the second part just before he died in 1832. The man Faust is a scholar who loves power and knowledge too well and not too wisely. Into the character of Faust, Goethe wrote his own spiritual problems, of joy, and tragedies. In the play he tried to discover the ultimate meaning of life. The presentation of "Faust," brought here by the department of German and the department of speech and drama, will mark one of the closing phases in commemoration of the Goethe bi-centennial, which has been celebrated at the University of Kansas throughout this month.
