A 'Favorable Process'
In his address at M.I.T., Winston Churchill described the atomic bomb as "the deterrent" to war. Then he gave that time-worn phrase that is too often uttered as if the speaker didn't quite believe what he was saying, but was trying desperately to convince himself as well as his audience. Mr. Churchill said, "War is not inevitable." He told his audience that "many favorable processes are on foot."
The results of a census of foreign students has just been released. There are 26,759 foreign students attending school in the United States this year. During the last three years, the total has increased by approximately 5,000 students a year.
One of the most favorable of these processes is taking place on the K.U. campus, as well as almost every other university campus in the country. It's the mingling of foreign and American students and the understanding and exchange of ideas that goes along with it.
They came from 151 countries and are studying in 1,115 colleges, universities, and technical schools throughout the nation. They represent 152 religion faiths and range in age from 16 to 68, the average age being 25.
What more "favorable process" exists for world peace than the opportunity we have here at the University to help build "one world" by direct, friendly, everyday contact with students from all over the world?
age being 23. That's quite a cross section of the world in about all categories. Kansas has 275 foreign students, or one per cent of the total. K.U. has 85 of them.
world:
It's better than dozens of short-wave radio broadcasts or suspicion-infested, conference table gobbledygook speeches. Understanding and respecting the other fellow and his way of life is the big step towards preventing war. We need preventives, not merely deterrents.
How much better it would be to weld a peaceful world with friendship instead of tacking our hopes for peace to a bomb. How much better it would be to be able to say, "War is not inevitable" without mentally adding, "I hope."

Dear Editor:
Easter Vacation
Do the University officials really expect students to be back for classes the day following Easter? Is it that they are opposed to happy family reunions? Are they simply hard and mean? Are they trying to give the student body a taste of discipline, or is it that when they made out the semester schedule, they simply neglected to notice that Easter falls on April 17?
How does one get to spend the whole of Easter at home? Certainly the University officials are not too short-sighted to recognize the ridiculous set-up of the present arrangement. It is their duty to correct it.
It is certainly not too much to permit one to spend all of Easter at home, and give him enough time to digest his dinner and go for a ride with the family. Life is not long, and to some of us, to spend such a holiday is both a sacred and infrequent joy.

Man Finds Dry Milk
Louisville, Ky. —(U.P.) He got the wrong kind of charge from his chocolate milk. Albert Bryant said here when he filed an $8,500 damage suit against a dairy concern. Mr. Bryant said he found a dry-cell battery in the milk.
ISA Extends Voting Power
The Independent Student association council passed a constitutional amendment Monday allowing house representatives and appointed officers to vote at their council meetings.
Previously the house representatives and appointed officers could attend meetings of the council and enter into the discussions, but could not vote. Voting power was entirely in the hands of the eight man executive council.
These I.S.A. appointments were announced: Dean T. Collins, College junior, alumnus secretary; Nona J. Prettyman, fine arts sophomore, historian, and Verla J. Achey, College sophomore, publicity chairman.
The membership chairman has not yet been appointed.
Geologists Hear Anthropologist
Career Women Must Dispel Job Taboos
Geology has contributed more to anthropology than anthropology has to geology, Carlyle S. Smith, assistant professor of anthropology, told members of the Geology club recently.
"But in the future the anthropologist will be able to help the geologist more," he said. "When the history of man is completely worked out it may be possible to use tools of man and man himself as 'index fossils'." Professor Smith explained.
"The geologist and anthropologist are alike because they both have some interest in biology, and they are also interested in tested changes brought about by time."
He pointed out that while the anthropologist is interested only in the past million years, the geologist may cover the past two billion years.
It is up to women to attack objectively the taboos men place upon their wives who wish to work, Mrs. Kate Mueller, educational advisor for women at Indiana university, said recently.
Mrs. Mueller visited the campus for two days as a part of a survey study of women's education in various colleges. She chose K.U. as one of the schools because of the
research Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, has done on this subject.
levels object less to wives who work."
These taboos in regard to married women who work, Mrs. Mueller thinks, stem from the social disapproval that men who have working wives imagine. "However," she said, "men from higher social-economic
From her study Mrs. Mueller has observed that college courses and curricula need "more flexibility, especially for women." Marriage is the variable factor and a woman's college course should be adjusted to that fact.
Do you have room for someone in your car going home over the Easter holidays? This is the question being asked all students by Union activities.
Why Not Share Your Ride Home?
For the past two weeks the Union activity's office has been taking the names of people interested in rides home for the spring vacation. By co-ordinating the plans of a large number of applicants, the office hopes to obtain transportation for everyone on a "share-the-cost" basis." Some requests for rides as far away as New York have already been placed.
From the way the new repeal amendment reads, that old saying "You can't have your liquor and drink it too" is true in more ways than one.
