PAGE SIX UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1949 As The Kansan Sees It Chalk Talk Reporting students who have been interviewing other students on the campus to obtain a cross section of opinion regarding the proposed building program are appalled at the number of people who were not even aware that there was a proposed building program. Perhaps he doesn't realize the difficulty a college student would have in finding time to become bored. One professor recently stated that the "greatest battle a person encounters in life is the battle to stave off boredom." A male student recently remarked after the singing of a sorority song, "Those sorority songs are nothing more than a series of pants and sighs." No wonder the membership in this society is secret. It has done publicly what men on the campus have been trying to do for years—decide what women's organization had the largest number of beautiful women. The Whoozlefinch society, a group of students bound together for the study and criticism of modern drama, music, painting, and the dance, has selected the Chi Omega sorority as having the most beautiful coeds on the campus. A record company is coming out with different color records for each of the seven classifications of recorded music. The colors supposedly are assigned according to the psychological and aesthetic color connotation of the particular type of music. Classical music will be ruby red, semi-classical will be midnight blue, popular music will be jet black, children's music will be lemon-drop yellow. Western songs will be grass green, international numbers will be sky blue, and folk music will be cerise. One wag was trying to guess what color the under-counter records will be. He decided they would be off-color. Firemen Must Take Daily Dip In Bay San Diego — (U.P.)—San Diego firemen attached to city fireboats begin every morning's work with a brief swim in the bay, no matter how cold the water is. They do not do it for fun, however. Lt. R. W. Stephenson explained the daily "water treatment" is given the firemen so that in case they are required to dive into the bay to rescue someone, the chances of shock would be lessened. None of the men has had a cold since the morning dips began. Is It A Bluff? Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) is one of the growing number of persons who favor throwing our weight around with regard to Russia. He says Russia won't fight until she feels strong enough and that time is not now. McCarthy says that if Teddy Roosevelt were running the show he would serve notice on the Russians that we were going to start running trains into Berlin on a certain day, and then do it. It would be fine if we could depend on the senator's diagnosis. But we are far from sure that Russia would not fight if she found that she could not get what she wants without fighting (as is now the case.) No matter what else they are, the Russians are not stupid. They surely realize that many of their aggressive moves in the past year or so could have precipitated an international incident which would have led us to war. So they must have accepted the chance with the knowledge that they were prepared for that eventuality. If not, then we are the victims of the most audacious bluff in history. Apparently our espionage agents have not uncovered any evidence of this.

We wish to thank Mr. Hines for his opinion of the petition to the Kansas legislature that the United World Federalists are sponsoring. However, we feel that in some respects his thinking is somewhat misguided. We made no claim that a resolution passed by the state legislature, in and of itself, will change the course of the United Nations. We simply are trying to use this method to let our national government know that the American people are behind a program of strengthening the U.N. to transform it into an effective world government. Business Manager Done Welch Manager Charlotte Chang Nat1 Adv. Mgr Bob Boultho Circulation Mgr Dean Knuth Promotion Writer Witty Promotion Mgr Ira Gissen A few months ago when Secretary of State Marshall was asked why he did not actively work for a real world government in the U.N. He replied that he did not believe the people wanted it. How can we change the minds of our officials except through such small things as petitions and resolutions? If we were addressing our petition to congress, the U.N. general assembly or security council, all of which are more directly concerned than the Kansas legislature, Mr. Hines would probably laugh at us for our audacity. Going further, Mr. Hines suggests that the resolution itself is not sound. He says that increasing the amount of democracy in the U.N. eventually might work to the disadvantage of the Western Powers. By abolishing the veto we would perhaps he abolishing what might become "our only effective block against the programs of Russia." Just Like Home Cooking In spite of the recent Communist victories in China, we see no reason to assume that Russia ever could dominate the U.N. under such a formula as we propose. Besides, if we become so devoid of allies in our cause and so morally and spiritually bankrupt that the veto is all we have to oppose Russia, heaven help us! For a homelike meal away from home, served graciously, eat with us. Tastefully prepared, our food is sure to please. DUCK'S 824 Vt. The reforms we propose in the UN are made with the idea of making that body more effective as a functioning governmental institution. They are not made with the idea of strengthening either side. Obviously, if they are proposed with the idea of strengthening one side or the other, they won't be adopted and would not work if adopted. John Rix, Business senior; Lawrence Morgan, Special student. Dainty Foot Proves Fatal Syracuse, N. Y.-(U.P.)-A small, slim foot is usually considered a feminine attraction. But Miss Mary Kratz would have liked the cloathopter size better when she slipped on a catch basin and her right foot went through a three and one-half inch opening. She suffered a possible leg fracture. Coe's Drug Store WE DELIVER 1347 Mass. St. Phone 234 Patronize Daily Kansan Advertisers.
