Travel Broadens Our Chances
These young people will be in Europe this summer living in camps and studying in seminars sponsored by various international youth organizations. They'll be riding their "bikes" all along the picturesque roads and highways of Europe, Part of their work will be to pitch in and help rebuild some of the shattered universities and youth hostes on that benighted continent. At other times, they'll be studying with French and English students or arguing with Czech and Danish ones. They'll be swapping ideas and forming new opinions. They'll lose a lot of prejudices. They'll come back with a wealth of understanding.
Peace, like the weather, seems to be one of those things we are always discussing but which nobody does anything about. Yet there are some of us who are doing more than just leaning over the conference tables of the world and arguing that it would be a fine idea to stop killing each other. These persons are mostly young students with a zest for travel, a knack with bicycles, and a belief that they can personally do something about building a better world.
Students In Europe
Perhaps the only way we can achieve the understanding that it necessary for world peace is to take advantage of every opportunity to bring various nationalities more closely together. What better place to start than with the youth of the world? Too often the barriers raised by platform speakers, stacks of reports, and complicated devices to speed language translations are too great to be surmounted by the most earnest diplomats. However, these white-haired men of the round tables could do a lot to smooth the way for a greater intermingling of the peoples they represent.
Agreements to liberalize and speed the exchange of students and professors from one country to another should be quickly adopted. Our government could lead the way in devising a plan to make travel for students cheaper and easier to obtain. Unfortunately only a few boatloads of American students are able to make trips abroad each summer. These students are tomorrow's leaders. By working and studying with students abroad, they'll be more able to cope with the world's problems when they gather around the international discussion tables. They should be given a chance to make the trip.

Eyes
During the war there was a cliche going the rounds that went something like this: Morale is a lot of little things. When those little things were all added up, the result was a winning combination of team work, co-operation, and self-restraint that made working with each other a pleasant task.
Sportsmanship
The conscientious voter thinks the 1948 presidential election will be like dunking for apples as you can never put your finger on what you'll come up with.
Good sportsmanship is also a lot of little things. One of them is the courtesy that causes us to hold back a long, howling "boo" when our team seems to be getting the worst of a referee's decision. Another is the self-control we show at a basketball game when we remain silent just as the opponent gets ready for a free throw. Another is the respect we show when we remain at our seats at the end of the game for the playing of the alma mater instead of streaking for the nearest exit. All added up, these things determine a university's reputation for good conduct and clean sportsmanship. Unfortunately, some of the student spectators at the University basketball games seem to have forgotten a few of these points.
A good time to start remembering them will be next Monday night, when the Jayhawker basketball team meets the Kansas State Wildcats in Hoch auditorium. When K. U. last met Kansas State in Manhattan, the students there put on a show of sportsmanship that won them a lot of praise all over the state. If we can remember a few little things, we'll all be feeling pretty good after Monday night's game — win or lose.
