Failing To See Something Worse
By Daniel Bishop, St. Louis Star-Times
Quonset, R. I.—(UP)—Ensign David E. Smith, a pilot at the Quonset Point naval air base, didn't need a gun to bag the first wild goose of the 1948 season.
Smith made his kill involuntarily while trying to fly his Corsair fighter plane out of the path of a southbound flock of geese at 2,000 feet.
One goose zagged when it should have zigged, he explained when he landed his Corsair with its radio aerial missing and a feather-spattered dent in one wing.

Oil is commonly believed to be a good lubricant but it doesn't seem to ease the friction in Palestine.
Unauthorized posting of S.O.B. signs brought a $35 fine. Addition of an exclamation point is now in order.

Haven't heard anyone say so, but one of Harry's great motivating forces in the recent campaign must have been a desire to use his new back porch on the White House for a full four years.

With the housing shortage a mother no longer needs to cry about losing a daughter when she marries. Chances are the mother will gain a family.
The army now informs us that sergeants will not be allowed to swear at the new draftees. This will leave certain sergeants we know with approximately a 20 word vocabulary.

The Daily Kansan has been asked, by way of a letter from a reader, to "campaign" against the discriminatory practices of the Lawrence theaters. This reader has pointed to the effectiveness of the press in getting information published concerning the Union and the criticism of law enforcement that led to a banning of parlay cards.
However, we believe it is well to point out here that the two instances mentioned do not compare in a favorable light with the problem of racial discrimination. The racial question is a much deeper sociological problem and tied up with the emotions and customs to a greater extent than is such a problem as parlay cards.
It has only been a short time since the Daily Kansan tried to exert its influence in an effort to end segregation in the Lawrence theaters but came out of the engagement with nothing whatsover accomplished. In fact, it seemed to make conditions worse as the pressure led to a near riot in one of the theaters.
Regardless of how galling the situation may be and how much it offends our sense of fairness and how impatient we may be for a correction, we still have to look at the situation in a realistic light. It is an issue that is going to take years and generations to iron out. This is not a very comforting statement for those being discriminated against but if pressure brought to bear is to result in increased ill will and hard feelings, there has to be a different remedy for the injustice.
The Daily Kansan, in the past, has given much space to news concerning activities of organizations promoting racial equality, and will continue to do so in the future. It is our belief, however, that an all-out crusade would cause more trouble than good. -M.C.L.
As we see it, the trend is in the proper direction, however slow it may be. The racial bar has now been broken down to a great extent in professional baseball and other sports. A chapter of a fraternity has recently been cut off from the national organization because it saw fit to break the racial rules. These, and many other similar incidents point to a better understanding of the problem and the expression of desire by many groups to do something about it.
