Pact Bolsters UN
A British Broadcasting company news commentator was spaculating Tuesday night on the reasons the British people were not very excited about the proposed North Atlantic pact. He thought one reason was because the pact posed no new problem in 1940 that hadn't existed in 1948.
The West decided to stand firm against Russian expansion with the start of the Berlin air lift. After that the North Atlantic pact was a neutral thing to follow, according to this commentator.
Whether the British and European people are excited about it or not, their chief interest in the pact seems to be that the United States has decided to abandon a policy of 160 years: that is, the policy of not becoming involved in European affairs.
While there is nothing in the pact that definitely commits any of the countries to aid the co-signers of the alliance with arms, there is an article that strongly implies such aid.
It is comforting to note that the whole of the proposed North Atlantic pact has been framed to work within the United Nations. The way the pact is worded, the signing nations do not admit that the U.N. is dead. Rather, the pact is designed to bolster that organization and to make it more effective.
The article concludes by saying that any such armed attack and the measures taken to combat it shall be reported immediately to the security council of the U.N. The combative measures are to be terminated when the security council has taken the necessary measures to restore and maintain international peace.
It is possible to see the pact being used in the future as a means of giving power to the security council's decisions. It is conceivable that the pact can eventually become the basis for an international peace army that will work under the direction of the United Nations.
Article five states that "the parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all; and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defense recognized by article 51 of the charter of the United Nations, will assist the party or parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."

Everyone's Happy?
We presume that there will be few complaints about the new addition which will be added to the Union. The cause of this conclusion is a meeting which was held in the English room Tuesday night.
The meeting was held to explain the tentative building plans and to give students an opportunity to present their ideas on what the new additions should include. It was open to all students. Union officials were on hand to hear and consider all suggestions.
In the past, many students have felt that their opinions on matters pertaining to certain aspects of the University should be considered. The Union, in particular, has been a sore spot.
This meeting Tuesday was for these students. It grew out of the recent student-faculty conference. The fact that students should have some voice in such things as building plans was accepted.
We presume that there will be few complaints about the new Union addition. There shouldn't be; not more than one anyway. Because that was the total student body representation at the meeting—ONE.
"Candlelight With Dinner is Key to Pleasant Marriage" was the headline over a recent Daily Kansan feature story.
Readers learned that Simon, "suave, genial" restaurant owner in New York, rcommended candle-light, polished silver and clean table cloths as the way to keep romance alive.
If Simon runs his restaurant on this theory, he probably won't be running it at all before long. Nevertheless, he has unconsciously hit upon the main failing of modern woman; more specifically, the modern college woman; even more specifically, the current crop at K.U.
They can't cook, and they don't particularly want to learn how. Despite the fact that modern women have entered business and the

Fat Gals Walk Lightly
Chesaco Park, Md.—(U.P.)—When buses arrive at the Chesaco Avenue bridge here, they stop and the passengers get out and walk across the bridge. Then the buses cross the bridge and pick up the passengers again. The bridge is on a vital artery, but its weight limits has just been cut to three tons.

home the expected paycheck—why can't the women prepare, just a little, for their future occupations? This is not to say that all women should be driven to take straight home economics courses. A few hours would suffice. If mamma was too busy playing bridge to teach Betty how to bake biscuits, why can't Betty learn while looking for a husband at the University?

Article Describes Ex-Student
James Murray Davis, University student from 1921 to 1924, is the subject of an article in the April 2 issue of the Saturday Evening Post. The article, "Newspaper Reporter," describes Mr. Davis' experiences as a feature writer for the New York World-Telegram.
Tacoma, Wash. —(U.P.)—The pay of doctors appearing in sanity hearings has been raised 50 per cent by county commissioners. They said fees were increased because of the difficulty of obtaining doctors' services to form insanity committees.

HE HAS BUILT A BRAND NEW CITY
The "telephone man" is mighty busy these days!
Since the war, among many other things, he has built or enlarged 2,800 buildings . scores of them large enough to fit into the skyline of a modern metropolis.
These buildings are more than brick, mortar and telephone equipment. They are jobs for thousands of men and women . . . more and better telephone service for millions of people . . . more business for the towns and cities in which they are located.
But most important of all, they are an indication of the Bell System's earnest efforts to keep up with the nation's ever growing needs for communications service.
