Organized Houses May Purchase Inscribed Memorial Carillon Bells
Carillon bells for the World War II Memorial may be purchased by organized houses as a memorial to their own veterans, Bruce Bathurst, said Thursday.
Mr. Ken Postlethwaite, organization director of the Memorial associa-
Any inscription that the house may wish will be cast on the bell they purchase, he said. The price of the bells will be 1,000 dollars.
both said that two houses have an interest in making such a purchase.
The price of the bells range from 2,00 dollars for the smallest to 25 thousand dollars for the large Bourdon bell. Bells which cost less than 1,000 dollars are being reserved for families who want to buy them as a memorial for individuals.
A spiral stairway from the base of the bell chamber to the tower will insure that the inscriptions will be seen. An elevator will take visitors from the ground floor to the base of the chamber.
"We feel that organized houses are better able to raise the 1,000 dollars then most individual families." Mr. Postlethwaite said.
The millions of dollars needed to acclimate marshlands along the Mississippi river would be an unsound investment. Dr. Walter Kollmorgen, associate professor of geography, told members of the Geology club at a meeting Thursday.
Reclaiming Marshland 'Would Be Unsound'
Dr. Kollmorgen, who investigated conditions along the Mississippi for two years for the department of agriculture, told of his findings during this survey. He is writing several pamphlets on this subject for the federal government.
"The subsidies we spend to reclaim this swamp and marsh land could be more profitably used on reforestation, elimination of slums, or a number of equally important projects." Dr. Kollmorgen said.
Oyron Chronic, president of the Geology club, announced that the members will go to Topeka Saturday on a field trip.
'India Must Solve Four Problems'
When the British leave, India must solve four problems before she can rise to the status of a world power, Dr. S. Chandra-Sekhar, Hindu lecturer said Thursday in Fraser auditorium.
The problems are:
ONE. What will happen to India's frontiers and sovereignty after the British withdraw?
TWO. How will India avoid civil war?
THREE. How will the princes and the feudal system which they represent be eliminated?
FOUK. How can the new Indian government lift the people from their centuries of poverty? British No Protection
Dr. Chandra-Sekhar said, that he had no fears for India's independence. "The British myth of invincibility has already been shattered, and they have been of no protection to us for some years."
Japan as an aggressor is out of the picture he believes. Russia the Indians do not fear because of their natural boundaries to the North secure even against aircraft.
The greatest problem facing India is that of composing the differences between the majority Hindus and the minority Moslems, the former president of the Indian Youth Congress said. Only a constitutional guarantee of minority rights will solve this problem, he added.
Rejections Lead To 'Wings' In Magazines For Connell
Had you ever thought of papering your room with rejection slips from magazines?
It is inspiring, said Evan Connell, College senior, that is if you are an amateur writer, and the type who regards these frigid notes as stepping stones rather than the swan song of your pipe dream career.
According to this erstwhile navy flight instructor, there are three steps the earning of "wings" in the®
According to this exercise, have in the earning of "wings" in the magazine writing field. The first is the rejection slip period, corresponding to pre-flight training. When you begin receiving "sorry-keep-trying" notes from associate editors, you have moved up to primary flight. Your first check is your "wings" and you have become a "boot ensign" in the profession, Connell said. Corps Wings With Check

Farns Wings With Check
He earned his wings recently when he received a check for $25 from Foreign Service, a Veterans of For-ign Wars monthly with about two million circulation, for a 1,000-word sketch, "A Cross to Bear." It was a rewrite of *a* class theme about a young officer who found himself the sole heir of an ensign whom he had accused of cowardice and who was posthumously awarded the navy
"Any fool can learn to write and can sell his stories." Connell said.
He said that he convinced himself of this after being released from the navy a year ago. A friend whom he sold on this idea last summer gave up a partnership in a lucrative jewelry firm and went to California to try his hand at writing, Connell said. Friend Pays Off Bet
"It really burned him up when I got my first check because he had to pay off a $5 bet that he would be the first to get his wings," he said.
$500 check. This much for a story will make him a "full lieutenant," Connell figures. Now an "ensign," he will promote himself to "lieutenant (j.g.)." when he gets his first $100 check.
He has also tried his hand at art and for several months was art editor of Flatbatter, a publication for navy and marine aviators, published at New Orleans. Recently he began selling spot drawings to a dance magazine.
A take-off on international armament races is his present brain child. It is a fantastic story about Waldo and his pal, Gismo. Waldo hadn't any arms and was happy until he became aware of his lack. Acquiring arms, he began hitting everyone and with each blow his arms became longer and longer and Waldo more and more unhappy. Finally he begged Gismo to help him get rid of them. What did Gismo do? That is what is puzzling the boot writer.
Writes About Armament
If you are thinking of submitting your first article to a magazine, don't send it to Esquire. Connell advised, because it can say, "Tough, bud" in "six words or less." Saturday Evening Post slips let you down the easiest of any, he said.

His mind is on international problems most of the time and he often speaks at various meetings and clubs on the campus and down town.

Lack Of Competition Causes Bad Relations
Lack of competition in government service is responsible for bad relations between business and government. Mr. Lowell B. Mason to the General Trade commission told students at a special convocation today.
"Because bureaus don't have to compete for public favor, they are content to go along doing things in the same old way," he said. "This leads to stagnation. Our methods of handling fair trade problems are 33 years old. It is a hit and miss system of individual prosecutions.
"Confusion in government policy leads to confusion in business practices. The government jumps first one way and then another. The anti-trust laws say it is illegal to fix prices. The government had a change of heart during the NRA and put a pants presser in jail for not entering into a conspiracy to fix prices."
The only way to correct this is to get universal acceptance and understanding of the law, Mason said.

Lt. Gov. Frank Hagaman, president of the Kansas senate, will summarize the 1947 session of legislature in a broadcast over KFKU at 9:30 p.m. today.
Hagaman To Speak On KFKU
ONE. Will King Paul follow the policies of the late king?
TWO. Does Paul favor any European alignments?
THREE. What is Paul's attitude toward the Greek guerillas?
Has Not Same Problems
Has Not Same Problems
H. B. Chubb, professor of political science, said that "Paul isn't confronted with the same problems that George had confronting him. Paul comes in without the opposition since George had twice before been refuted by the Greek people.
"Paul naturally has to play along with the British. If the internal, political, conditions in Greece have any chance of getting better, then Paul should be able to do the job.
"He will take more vigorous action against the guerillas. In fact, he already has. A new large scale offensive has been started by government forces against the guerillas."
Agrees With Chubb
"As far as favoring any European allignment, Paul has to favor the English as a matter of necessity. I do believe that he is more susceptible than George had been to the guerilla elements in Greece, but he is in an ambiguous position because of the pressure put on him by the Western powers."
Prof. F. E. Melvin, associate professor of history, agreed with Professor Chubb except on the guerrilla question. "The guerillas, after a vigorous campaign, probably figure on getting fairly honorable terms from Paul." Professor Melvin said. Naturally Paul's interests lie with the United States, but the guerrillas offered very little opposition to the new king which makes me believe they will get concessions.
James R. Yoxall, College junior and political science major, said that "King Paul will follow George's policies to a certain extent. He w have more leeway and will under take policies of his own that w have been impossible for George.
Now is the time to register for vocational guidance, Prof. A. H. Turney, director of the Vocational Guidance bureau, said.
"During the rush last term there was sometimes a month's delay between registration and appointments" he said. "We are caught up now and we can handle a few more persons."
Students May Sign For Vocational Help
The bureau, whose services are free to all students, is in the basement of Frank Strong hall. It is open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
All bureau counselors will attend a meeting of the Kansas Vocational Guidance association at Manhattan Saturday. These are Professor Turney, E. G. Kennedy, Thomas Christensen, and Ruth Schillinger. Dean George B. Smith, of the School of Education, also will attend.
Meeting for the first time since the war, the association will elect officers and discuss guidance problems. Dr. E. L. Harden, of Michigan State college, and Marlin C. Schrader, state supervisor of occupational information and guidance will speak.
