UN Telegrams Don't Stop War Prince Says
"Telegrams can't stop fighting," Prince Peter of Greece said Tuesday in referring to the action of the council set up in Greece for reporting illegal activities to the United Nations.
"Guerilla warfare goes on because the national Greek army cannot get to the Communist bases in the mountains." The five-mile frontier zone gives the Communists a resting place when returning to Albania and Yugoslavia, he added.

Berna and Faghman. The situation today is a repetition of an age-old struggle between East and West, he said.
"We Greeks consider ourselves originators of the culture which you call 'the American way of life,' " he said. The individualistic culture of the West developed in Greece because the country is "so cut up by high mountains, deep valleys and the Aegean seacoast."
The situation in East Asia is very different, Peter said. These people were "far from the sea and isolated, so they didn't progress as much.
The present government of Greece is a coalition of the Liberal and Populist parties, and was elected in 1945.

The Communists heaped enormous pressure on President Benes to make him *put the "official" stamn on their capture of Czechoslovakia. Their coup was in the mop-up stage, and they were rushing to consolidate it formally.
'Emblem Of Life Is The Zipper'
"The zipper is the emblem of modern life." Dr. John Ise told University women at the opening speech of the A. W. S. conference Tuesday. "Whether it can do its job or not, it must do it fast."
"We live scatterbrained, superficial lives. Nothing goes very deep. We are too busy to get anything out of anything. There is too much and too poor of nearly everything. The greatest need tday is for leisure.

"Love is the only thing in the world that doesn't do anyone any harm. Love is the only thing that has no diminishing utility."
"Emulation of the man who can get ahead may be the cause of unhappiness in modern life. Consider the savage, who, looking at his row of shrunken heads or scalp, considered himself a satisfie man. Modern man's achievements are accumulations of stocks and bonds in a strong box. Women display their achievements with a mink coat."
Dr. Ise condemned social snobbery as one of the worst effects of emulation.
"The best definition of a real gentleman is one who would introduce his shabby parents or shabby relatives to his swell friends with gracious pleasure and no blushes."
"Letters that the other language departments cannot handle are sent to us," said J. A. Burzle, associate professor of German. "We have been able to translate all of them so far."
Foreign Letters Are Translated

Persons from all over the state send foreign letters to the University. Usually the letters have been received in return for relief packages.
During the past year, the department of German has translated, or found somebody who could translate, letters from Poland, Hungary, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Lithuania.
"No definite system has been set up for translation." Professor Burzle said, "Natives of the countries or students and faculty who have adequate language training translate them."

Seven Negroes were refused service in tests of four Lawrence restaurants Tuesday as the Committee on Racial Equality continued its campaign to eliminate segregation in cafes near the campus.
4 Cafes Refuse Negroes Service
The campaign will continue with more test cases until agreement is reached with cafe managers, C.O. R.E. chairman Robert Stewart stated today.
The four restaurants affected by the action are the Cottage, Jayhawk, Rock Chalk, and Brick's cafes.
"As a result of Negroes being refused service in the four Hill cafes, C.O.R.E. will seek to negotiate with the managers in an attempt to end this discrimination," Stewart said.
The test cases Tuesday were made by Negroes who entered the cafes and asked for service. In each case they were told, "we cannot serve you," and left without further discussion, the C.O.R.E. chairman said.
Managers of the four restaurants have not indicated if they will be willing to negotiate with C.O.R.E. on the question of segregation.
Carl J. Clifton, owner of the Jay-hawk cave, said today, "I made my stand clear a year ago and my opinion will never change. I can't say about the other managers, but I don't believe in mixed service."
The four managers will be asked to meet with a committee of C.O. R.E. members tomorrow to discuss the campaign and attempt to reach an agreement, Stewart said.
