Cancer Drive Merits Support
When you attend your next class count its members. Divide that number by eight. The resulting figure is the number of your classmates who may suffer the agonies of cancer.
Unless concerted action is taken, it is estimated that one in eight Americans will die of cancer. The campaign against this killer merits the support of every one.
Sueh support is actually a matter of enlightened self-interest. Cancer is no respecter of persons, age, or sex. It is sound personal insurance to co-operate in the fight against it.
The Kansas Division of the American Cancer Society is aiming at a minimum goal of $120,912 in this month's campaign.
Sixty per cent of this fund will stay in the state. It will be put to work financing medical research, improving hospital facilities, and in an expanded program of public education about this disease.
The remaining 40 per cent of the fund will go to the national cancer fund to aid in the national research and education campaign.
Cancer deaths have risen from 133,000 in 1930 to an expected toll of 185,000 during this year. Medical authorities expect this yearly increase to continue unless concerted action is taken.
Scientific research is costly. But the dividends we can reap from such research will repay many times over any contributions we make now.
The campus office for this campaign is 107. Robinson Gymnasium. If you find it inconvenient to go to the campaign office, place your contribution in an envelope, mark it "Cancer Drive, 107 Robinson Gymnasium," and drop it in any of the boxes provided for campus mail.
Nine days remain in the current campaign. Join the fight now to conquer cancer!
Lesson In Texas
On Thursday of last week Hal Boyle flew over Texas City, Texas. When he landed he wrote these words, "In four years of war coverage I have seen no concentrated devastation so utter, except in Nagasaki, Japan, victim of the second atomic bomb."
Mr. Boyle's words are worth not ing. They offer food for sober thought.
In spite of the terrible destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the fact that they were enemy cities, thousands of miles away, served to lessen somewhat the impression those bombs should have had on the American mind.
The tremendous tragedy in Texas, however, took hundreds of American lives. It struck without warning. The entire nation was appalled at the results. Aid and sympathy from all parts of the country poured to the stricken area.
The comparison of this event with what happened in Nagasaki is worth thinking about. But should an atomic attack ever hit America, there would be one of the above elements lacking. Stricken areas could hope for little aid from the rest of the country. An atomic attack would strike simultaneously at many points. Communications
and transportation would be drastically crippled.
During the recent war, our nation was fortunate in one important respect. Americans were spared the experience of unheralded mass destruction of our civilian population. We now have had a taste of the effects of large scale explosions.
The Texas City disaster should provide added inspiration for the tenacious effort we must exert to secure effective control of atomic energy and to erase the problems that may breed World War III.

Barring A. and M.
The Daily Kansan of April 8 and 9 published letters concerning the admission of Oklahoma A. and M. that contained not only a bias but also outright and deliberate distortion of facts.
From time immemorial, the backward and evil forces of reaction have tried to suppress the growth of a democratic way of life. Today those who are attempting to make a democracy a reality here at the University are being subjected to the same old smear tactics.
Let us set the record straight on this matter. Oklahoma A. and M. will not allow non-white students from Kansas to participate in athletic contests held in Oklahoma. As a result of discrimination in Oklahoma and Missouri, Negro athletes at KU have been discouraged from trying out for athletics.
This means that Oklahoma and Missouri are forcing the state of Kansas to adopt some of the same discrimination for which they are so well known.
The problem is not merely the question of whether or not a particular school should be admitted to the conference; it is much larger than this. It is once again the age-old conflict between human rights and property rights, democracy and fascism, good and evil.

Palestine, Texas—(UP) — A pet Boston bull terrier claims the honor of being the nation's No.1 baby sitter.
Dog Is Tops As Baby Sitter
Nuisance, three-year-old terrier owned by Mr. and Mrs. Charles O. Miller, keeps a watchful eye over 300 baby chicks all at once. And lets no one harm a single pin feather in their fluffy down.
The dog has been a baby chick sitter since he was a pup and he not only goes to bed with them but spends his waking hours in the brooder as well.
Nuisance—wno is really misnamed for all the mother-her care he lavishes on his charges-takes over from the moment a batch of day-old chicks are dumped into the brooder house. He doesn't object if the little chicks snuggle up to him for warmth or play on his back.
He also patrols the hen yard and protects the flock of chickens against hawks and prowling cats. His owners find only one fault with their aithful dog. He must be tied securely before anyone tries to catch a fat hen for Sunday dinner.
Medical Supplies Flown to Injured
Texas City, Tex.—(UP)—Urgently needed medical supplies are being flown to hospitals in Texas City to treat an estimated 480 patients who were seriously injured in the explosions and fires Wednesday.
Flying debris caused multiple perforating wounds. Concussion and falling objects inside buildings caused crushing injuries.
The terrific blast also caused compound injuries from flying missiles to persons in the open.
