As The Kansan Sees It
You Got It Tough?
Students always catch it. If it isn't poor housing, it's poor teachers, or costly textbooks, or too much homework. University students are no exception.
Yet our worst troubles pale in comparison with those of our brother students in Europe and Asia. Their search for knowledge is complicated by such distress as we can scarcely imagine.
Ever attend a morning class without eating breakfast? Students in Poland miss lunch and dinner, too, day after day.
Hate sweating out that book line at the beginning of school? Students at the University of Athens copy out their textbooks in longhand.
Crowded at the place you stay? Students in India sleep on station platforms, shop-verandas, and on the pavement.
Miss a week of school with the flu last year? Students in Europe and Asia go through term after term of work crippled by active tuberculosis.
Not enough teachers? At least 60 per cent of Warsaw's professors died or were killed during the war. Teachers all over the world were thrown in concentration camps, sent into compulsory labor, punished for leading resistance movements, and now must teach on low salaries with inflation to boot.
What can be done? The World Student Service fund drive which is being held at the University this week is part of the answer to this question. Actually, five million dollars are needed to relieve the desperate situation of students in Europe and Asia. The World Student Relief organization, a war-born combination of student relief agencies, is asking for two million dollars. The students of America are asked to provide one million of this.
Why don't the students in Europe and Asia help themselves? They are. Chinese students, poor as they are, raised $1,000 (American dollars) to send to Europe. Students in Europe have set up mimeographing co-operatives to reproduce textbooks. Clothing and laundry co-operatives, as well as hotels and canteen have been set up by students themselves. Students in Charles University, Czechoslovakia, work in coal mines in the summer to get fuel to heat University buildings in winter.

But I gave last year and where did it go? Your money helped send 400,000 pounds of food to European universities. It gave study grants to 1200 displaced persons in Europe. From it $198,860 worth of books were sent to Europe, and Asia. It helped reestablish 72,545 Chinese students on the campuses from which war had driven them.
What does my money do? Two dollars will support a tubercular student for a week in a sanitorium. Twenty-five dollars will pay the tuition of a refugee student for one semester.
Now it's our turn to ask a question. Believing, as you must, that education is an essential to keeping our world at peace, why not give a generous donation to a WSSF representative this week?

Cafeteria Costs
Dear Editor
If a serving of deviled eggs consisting of three half-eggs and two slices (thin) of tomatoes costs 13 cents, how much should a salad plate consisting of one-half deviled egg and one slice (thin) of tomatoes cost? This sounds simple, even when one takes into account the leaf of lettuce which forms the base of the salad plate.
That's just one problem and its solution that baffles me. Here's another.
Here is the answer. The latter salad plate costs 12 cents.
It is simple. The Union cafeteria has solved the problem nicely for people like you and me.
At the cafeteria half a dip of ice cream in an inedible cup costs a nickel. Yet downtown I can get a complete dipperful and in an ice

The athletic department has indicated that it is "waiting to hear what the students want" in regard to seating at basketball games. How about sending in some ideas on this matter through the Daily Kansan?

Arthur Toch, Engineering senior.
Mrs. Mary W. Strain, Union cafeteria dietitian, said this in reply to Toch's letter:
Dietitian Says
"The Union cafeteria's chief desire has been to provide its students with high quality food at a nominal cost. Since it has always been its object to serve generously, any criticism directed along this line is taken quite seriously.
"We have often heard of the man who sees double, but we are wondering, in the case of food, if there is one who sees only half.
"From the standpoint of merchandising, we must have done a poor job—granting that a small size serving of ice cream perched atop the conical cone has greater appeal than a large size served in a sanitary container.
"In the case of the tomato-egg salad, we are wondering, if one ever appeared on the counter as suggested, what became of the other half?"
"Wouldn't it be grand to get back to the good old days when economists and mathematicians could solve this conundrum: 'If an egg and a half cost a cent and a half what does two-thirds of an egg cost?'
