UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1948 PAGE SIX The Editorial Page Tweedle Dee vs Tweedle Dum Ben Foster's resignation from presidency of the Progressive party is another reminder of the old and absurd Greek-Independent feud. It's hard to blame anybody for throwing the political towel into a ring in which asinine rules prevail. The referee places the Greeks in one corner, the Independents in the other, and tells them to get in there and fight. They do. One lives in a house with funny looking letters on the front. The other lives in a house with no letters on the front. One wears a pin denoting his group. The other wears no such pin. One chooses his living companions and doesn't mind a bit of hazing from his superiors. The other values independence from too many obligations and interferences into his personal life. There you have the difference between an Independent and a Greek. Yet it is the basis for wrangling and dissension in many activities. Most insidious of all, the system can result in social isolation. Though the causes are stupid, we might as well admit the problem exists. There is social discrimination on both sides. There is often friction because of fancied favors to the "other side." Why should many campus issues be clouded by talk of Greek-Independent differences? What is the difference between a Greek and an Independent? Like Republicans and Democrats, there's about as much difference between a Greek and an Independent as there is between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Thus rages the battle of campus politics. Soft Soap Cleanliness may be next to godliness, and soap may be the best way to obtain the near godlike quality, but what a change this commodity has gone through. Remember grandma standing over a big kettle with a stick in her hand, stirring the boiling mixture of lye, water, and fat that would produce the family's yearly supply of yellow, all-purpose soap?

Dr. Clayton Classifier Adv. Man ... Sally Rowe National Adv. Man ... William Nelligan Today it is different. There is soap for baby, soap for papa, soap for mama, and soap for Sister Sue. For the young in love there is the soap "with the fragrance men love," the "floating lift," the "extra lather." "It makes the skin fresh as laurel blossoms, and in 14 days you, too, can have lovely skin." Don't cheat yourself of romance; soap does everythink. Besides having the clean smell after using soap, there is the pine smell, taboo smell, spice smell, and B. O. if the right kind is not used. Bottles, boxes, bars, and tubes—take your pick—soap is found in every form. There are big bars, gift bars, guest bars, giant boxes, economy boxes, tall bottles, short bottles, fat tubes, and thin tubes. It comes in flakes, square and sound, or as powder. It's pink, green, black, blue, and white. There are soaps that fit the hand, are tied on strings, and have the owner's name imprinted. For this passion for cleanliness there is soap that floats and is pure and mild, and there's soap that isn't soap. Some prefer the "soap cocktails," "mild diet soaps," or the "super cream blend." This body refresher, health giver, perfuser, and time saver full of atomic marvels is only incidentally a cleansing agent. It has been tested in every way to be appealing to the eye and nose. As for the taste, eggs and oatmeal have been added to its ingredients. To heck with the dirt—the smell's the thing—Barbara Felt. Some centuries ago, in the Scandinavian countries, men fought their duels strapped together and armed with daggers, and consequently, even the winners rarely survived. Instead of the usual Republican and Democratic conventions just such a duel should be substituted. It would tend to eliminate so many presidential hats in the ring. There would be no heads for them to go on During the past century, the science of mathematics has become so specialized that today no one man can understand and employ more than five per cent of his knowledge. Remember that the next time you cast any aspersions on any University profs. After all, they only understand about 5 per cent of what they know.

Dear Editor, The Duke and his band ran the gamut from the gutter to the pent house, the battered derby to the top hat. It was a vivid interpretation of the American scene, and it often thrilled an appreciative audience, In Hoch auditorium Monday night jazz left the class of maudlin, banal triviality and soared to artistic heights that I thought impossible for that form of musical expression. Duke Ellington presented a concert that any real music lover could not help but enjoy. The English dictionary defines art as the embodiment of beautiful thought in sensual forms, and that's what Ellington put across. His originality and technical perfection can only be a great contribution to the American culture. The American Veterans committee is to be commended for bringing to Model No.15 - It's a joy to own!
