PAGE SIX UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS MAY 21, 1947 Kansan Comments Suppose You Were In Europe Today— World peace, James F. Byrnes has warned, depends on what is in the hearts of people more than what is in their treaties—and most of all peace must lie in the heart of youth. But what of the youth in war-devastated countries? It doesn't make much difference what nationality a boy or young man is, his struggle is universal—how to lead a decent life when plagued by hunger, confused by propaganda, and embittered by hate. Wherever war struck, boys and young men face a common problem. Their homes have been destroyed, their schools shattered, and their churches bombed out. For many of them their fathers, mothers, teachers, and pastors are gone. In Europe, the war toll physically has been terrible but the spiritual effect has been even more ghastly. Young people have lost faith in themselves, the future, their families, and even God. Still faced with the effects of war, pestilence, famine, and death, the youth of Europe is hungry ragged and disillusioned. They must be retaunt the principles of decency, honor, and honesty. During the war they were taught to lie, cheat, steal, and kill to keep alive. Those lessons were well learned and not easily forgotten. Yet from these youths must come the men, good or bad, who will be the future leaders of the world. The same is true in Asia. Police in Manila estimate that 60 thousand war-made young hoodlums roam the streets of that city. Racked by civil war and invasion for years before World War II broke out in Europe, the people of China probably have suffered greater hardships than any in modern times. To help to meet the tremendous needs of these young people that have felt the full effects of war, the YMCA is currently engaged in a campaign to raise money for its World Youth Fund. The Fund has two broad aims: first, to help lead the young people of war-devastated lands back into paths of moral decency and constructive living; and second, to help restory certain key facilities of the Student Newspaper of the UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS The University Daily Kansan Member of the Kansas Press Assn., National Editorial Assn.

Brooks Association in places that suffered most. This campaign merits the earnest consideration of the youth of America. We are rather jealous of our so-called "right to gripe" and we exercise that right often. But it is time we stopped to compare our lot with that of thousands of young people in Europe and Asia. Such a comparison should make us truly grateful. But, even more important, it should inspire us to lend a helping hand to those who are less fortunate. If you are allergic to sentimental humanitarianism, look at it from a purely business viewpoint. Those embittered and disillusioned young people are the citizens of tomorrow that we will have to deal with in this One World. It is good common sense that we do what we can now to aid them in their struggle to straighten out their lives, physically and mentally. The "Y" is planning a large campaign to enlarge its foreign facilities and do its best to rehabilitate the bewildered youth of the war. The K. U. YMCA office in the Union building will welcome contributions to further this work. Their program is a worthwhile one that will help to re-establish understanding and the principles of decency, justice and honor among those who will be tomorrow's citizens and leaders. It deserves your support. Dear Editor---floor is covered with a greasy grime, and the place is generally filled with an offensive odor.

Men's Shower Rooms Need Better Care The unsanitary condition of the men's locker and shower rooms in Robinson gymnasium is a disgrace. The shower room shows almost complete lack of janitorial care. The The Rev. Dr. Edwin Price Monday told Tau Beta Pi members that "a slide rule cannot measure or evaluate spiritual things. Its use is limited to physical evaluator." Price Speaks To Engineers Twenty-four students were initiated into the national honorary society. They were welcomed by Perry T. Schuerman, who was introduced by Tau Beta president Harry Johnson. New members are Robert Bessier, Morris Borene, Thomas Bryant, Lowell Case, Jack Daily, John Dornblaser, John Ellis, Carl Gratny, Charles Green, Paul Hare, Jack Hollingsworth, John Hunt, Duane McCarter, Norman Miller, William Nale, Dale Rummer, Harry Reed, Charles Schuler, Joseph Sciandrone, Clyde Shockley, James Waugh, James Williams, Forrest Wilson, George Worrell. In view of the fact that inadequate Robinson gymnasium is called upon to serve a swollen University enrollment, it appears that special efforts should be made to keep the place clean as a health safeguard. I suggest that the locker and shower rooms be given a thorough cleaning and that they be inspected at regular intervals in the future to be sure that they stay that wav.
