Nations Need 'Rule Of Law' Says Hancock
The nations of the world need a 'rule of law' before there can be an effective control of atomic energy, John M. Hancock, United Nations delegate, said today in an All-School of Business convocation.
"We wanted a rule of law to provide safeguards to complying nations and to insure only peaceful uses of atomic energy, but Russia has not recognized these," Mr. Hancock said.
He likened the Baruch atomic energy commission plan to an ordinance in his home town.
"We passed an ordinance prohibiting parking of automobiles in front of the fire station," he said. "Everybody compiled or he was fined. We had an effective police force to back up this law.
"Now, suppose there had been a 'rider' to that ordinance saying that all members of the city council were excused from this as well as any of their friends. What good would the ordinance have been then? None, and that's the kind of control that Russia wanted."
"We did not want to do away with the veto altogether. We wanted only to abolish it in connection with atomic energy control. If we did not have some veto power we couldn't even oppose Russia if she wanted to start colonies in South America," he said.
How about the atom bomb in international relations?
"If it had not been for our possession of the atom bomb, Russia would undoubtedly be occupying the Dardanelles today. Also, Russia wanted the rich oil fields of Iran. But when the U.S. got behind Iran, Russia got cut.
"I do not believe, therefore Russia will risk a war over a pile of rubble in Germany."
What are the possibilities of world disarmament?
To date, not one nation has offered so much as to give up one hand grenade. That's why, in 1946, I advised the president to make atomic bombs as fast as possible. And that's been this country's policy ever since.
"The aim of the United States is peace." Mr. Hancock said. "We are keeping far ahead of the rest of the world in atomic research so that there will be international peace."
YMCA Begins Seed Project
"Seeds for Europe" is the new project of Y.M.C.A. to help Europe raise part of its own food supply.
Ned Linegar, secretary of Y.M.C.A., said that students and Lawrence residents will be asked to help provide money for the seeds.
The Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe will provide the seeds. This type seeds will grow best in European areas. From the seeds, a family of eight could live for several weeks on the vegetables, if moderate success is achieved during the growing season.
Each seed packet is printed in 14 languages with pictures. The seeds will be delivered by CARE. The Y.M.C.A. will act as the agent for students and others who wish to send seeds to Europe.
'Man Wanted'Says 1849 Valentine
Leaflets will go to organized houses explaining the "Seeds for Europe" plan. Independent students may inquire at the Y.M.C.A. office at the Union for further details.
Despite the generally accepted belief that women today are more aggressive than ever in their chase after men, proof exists that they weren't too timid about it 100 years ago.
Miss Carlotta Nellis, Battenfield housemother, received the following poem from her cousin, Robert A. Gow, Buffalo, N.Y., who noticed it while leafing through an old scrapbook. It was sent to his great-uncle, Dr. Archibald Gow, Schuylerville, N.Y., on Valentine's day, 1849. But in spite of its appeal, Miss Nellis believes that it accomplished nothing. Dr. Gow remained a bachelor.
I wish I had a handsome beau With whiskers round his face. And mustache on his upper lip To add to it a grace.
With curling locks upon his brow
Of brown or jetty hue.
Or any shade have odious red—
And optics black or blue.
These token temper sweet and mild,
Those flash with sparkling wit,
But e'en were they of leaden grey,
I would not care a bit.
So easy I to suit would be Methinks 'twere no great task Since men are plenty in the world To get the beau I ask.
He may be either tall or short A portly man or thin. But with a forehead full and high
Newton debaters took top honors in the class AA division of the Kansas High School debate tournament here Feb. 11 and 12 and Winfield won second place.
Newton Takes Debate Honors
But he must on the other hand
Be gentle, loving, kind.
Must think me all that he could ask
And to my faults be blind.
Other competing schools in their placing order were, Class AA, Wyan-dette, Hutchinson, Russell, Topeka, El Dorado, and Coffeyville.
For if he should be cross and fret,
Stay out till half-past ten
And keep late hours, he'd surely get
A lecture now and then.
To such a one I promise fair
To make a pattern wife
To let no discord ever mar
The comfort of our life.
Fredonia speakers were winners in the class A division with Olathe as the runner-up.

Former Student Killed In Wreck
W. C. Morrow, '16, M.A.'34, and father of three sons now students in the University, died in his overturned car near Lebo about 1 p.m. Sunday. The car apparently rolled over several times but it was thought that a heart attack might have been a contributing factor.

The sons are Kenneth A., education junior, Oread hall; Malcolm M., freshman pre-business, and Duane C., College freshman, both of 1016 Illinois street.
Mr. Morrow is survived also by his mother, Mrs. Mary Morrow, a daughter, Wauneta, and a brother Harry, sports editor of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World, all of Lawrence, a sister, Mrs. William Crowell, Blue Mound. His wife, Laura Morrow, was also a graduate of the University in 1916. She died in 1944.
Mr. Morrow had been connected with the schools at McLouth and Tonganoxie and at one time resided in Lawrence. For a few years he published the South Haven New Era. The three sons, Duane, Kenneth, and Malcolm are all student employees of the University Press.
