PAGE SIX UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1949 As The Kansan Sees It Martyr For Freedom The Christian world awaits with moral revulsion the announcement tomorrow of the fate of Josef Cardinal Mindszenty, leader of the last remaining force behind the Iron Curtain which is strong enough to stand up to the Russians — the Church. The freedom loving peoples of the world may gain some solace from the martyrdom of this man of God. It comes through the realization of the uncertainty the Russians must feel in their satellite countries of Eastern Europe to have deemed such desperate measures necessary to discredit the Church. For this travesty on justice is clearly a political maneuver to achieve a definite political end. The Russians do not care if the rest of the world knows the trial is a fraud. They realize they have long since "lost face" among free men. They also know that even the Hungarians may not now be convinced of the guilt of the Cardinal. But they figure that if, through strict censorship, the Hungarian people hear only one side of the case, they will probably come to believe the truth of the charges even without knowing they are believing. The psychology of this reasoning has been upheld time and again in totalitarian states. The only hope that this courageous man may not have sacrificed himself in vain rests in the already evident signs of rents in the Iron Curtain. The Russian cause is doomed once the light shines through. It'll Outlive Us More than mere wolf whistles have come out of the windows of Fraser hall the past semester. Several keystones, wedge - shaped pieces of Manhattan stone trim above the windows. have fallen. These boulders out of the blue, plus several ugly cracks in the north and east walls of the oldest building on the campus, have led many to believe Fraser is not long for this world. But, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent of the University building and grounds department, the 76-year-old structure is in no danger of collapse. In fact, Mr. Bayles recalls that one of his first jobs upon coming to the University 22 years ago was to re-cement several fallen keystones into the window arches of this once largest educational building west of the Mississippi river. Although the children of the present students w i l l probably struggle through English, Latin, and Greek, within the stone walls of the campus landmark, it can not be expected to last forever. For one thing, it is standing over the site of four abandoned wells. That is why the foundation has cracked. A replacement for Fraser hall is not on the current list of building requests. And since it will cost approximately one million dollars to replace this building which originally cost $146,000, it appears likely that the flag will fly from the north tower for several years yet. Fred Kiewit Due to active and large irrigation program the state of Montana is producing large crops of standard fruits, orchards and small. Agricultural production is increasing and its mineral production includes gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and petroleum. Public Postcard The University Light Opera guild will present Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Gondoliers" tonight, tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday, in Fraser theater. The cast has been working hard to make their second offering as successful as "The Mikado," which was presented the past winter. All the profits will be put back into the organization to cover production costs of future operetta. So, if you like to hear your favorite music right here on the campus and also give students a chance to gain experience and pleasure in presenting it, save one night this week to hear "The Gondoliers." DearEditor If That's Luck— Riding downtown from the campus the other morning, we overheard two students discussing the racial question. A blond-headed boy was telling his buddy it was 86 years since "Honest Abe" made his Emancipation Proclamation. His buddy answered, "It just shows this racial business is hot air. If the Negroes have been free that long, why haven't they got more to show for it? "I think the Negroes are lucky to have what they've got." Hearing this inane remark, I asked myself, "Just how lucky can you get? "I refused because the theater does not allow us to sit with white people. However, I felt lucky just to have been invited." I thought back to the time a Negro boy in a speech class told of one Thanksgiving day when a childhood friend invited him to the show. I also thought of the Negro boy shot during the war by an M. P. because a French girl had dated him. And I thought back to the time a Negro family tried to settle in our New England hometown. The father was almost lynched. He was saved when the state police arrived and gave the family a ride out of town. The belongings of that family were left behind to be stolen. And then I remembered the time I was studying electricity in the army. A bunch of us were hopelessly lost until somebody discovered the Negro orderly had a master's degree in physics. He helped us out. When we would thank him, he would say, "That's all right, I'm glad to have the chance to use what I know." University Daily Kansan Member of the Kansas press asses.
