"It's All Right—I've Got Him On A Leash"
Kansan Comments...
Will We Have A Real Peace?
With representatives of the world' leading powers conferring in Moscow on a peace plan, it is well to pause mementarily and consider what it takes to make a peace successful.
Peace is certainly not won at peace conferences, for there nations bluff and bluster, maneuver for advantage, agree to compromise and then repeat the process.
They sign what we call a treaty of peace—but it isn't. It is a truce, born of expediency, and fashioned out of mutual distrust. It is a document full of high-sounding rhetoric which camouflages conflicting nationalistic interests. For all the glibtongued oratory that goes into its making, there is not one grain of Christian humility.
If there were delegates would never have to go through the formality of signing a treaty.
It takes humility to make peace Christ said, "blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." They shall inherit it because they alone have enough individual humility to get along with each other.
The threat of the atomic bomb ought to make men humble enough to write a lasting peace. But the world's statesmen seem blind to reality and swap the present good for the future evil. They have reduced peace drafting to bargaining with time and death.
The present peace is being written under the shadow of militarism by the dim light of national self-interest and arrogance. Permanent peace can be written only of statesmen and the people they represent learn to live as humbly as their soldiers died.
When humanity has learned that lesson, the individual dignity of man will flower as the rule rather than the exception and the world will at last achieve peace.

Dear Editor----
3arring Aggies
I would like to inform those who favor barring Oklahoma A. and M. of a few facts regarding the Big Six (Mid West) conference. Two schools are in states that are, by tradition and custom, anti-Negro. These are Missouri and Oklahoma; and as long as these two schools are members, there will be racial discrimination. No drastic steps will alleviate such discrimination, but it must evolve through the slow change of years.
Regardless whether you consider this good or bad, these are the facts and we must face them. Since there is no conference without Missouri and Oklahoma, there is much to gain and nothing to lose by adding the Aggies.
Oklahoma A. and M. is one of the best sports competitors in the Midwest, and it is certainly as clean as some of the Big Six schools as far as recruiting and subsidizing are concerned. They would add greatly to the prestige of the conference, and since it would be impossible to eliminate racial discrimination anyway, why not build our conference strength?
Of the groups that are petitioning to have Oklahoma A. and M. barred from entrance, how many have taken votes from their members on the issue? I don't know about the rest of the students on the Hill, but I rather dislike for the organizations that I belong to advancing opinions for the group without the approval of the majority. This appears to be an active lobby of a minority group overriding the opinion of the majority.

Discuss Sun, Politics At Speech Meeting
Talks ranged from Communism to Sherlock Holmes at the regular meeting of the Forensic league Thursday night in Green hall.
Kenneth Beck, discussed "Is Communism a Threat to America?" He advanced the idea that the real threat lies not in the acts of communists, but in the acts taken by us to combat them.
"You and the Universe" by Beth Bell, College senior, was a discussion of the scientific origin of the sun, earth, and other planets.
A need for high Christian morals in business if we are to attain a peaceful world was presented by Elaine Sawyer, freshman.
If American teachers could get portal-to-portal pay they'd forget agitation for salary increases.
Robert Davis, with a talk entitled "Sherlock Holmes", gave a biographical sketch of the author, Conan Doyle, and his fictional character, Sherlock Holmes.
Be charitable with your instructor; after all a man's "bore" is no indication of his caliber.
The Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. will sponsor a May Day party May 1, for students of North Lawrence schools.
Herbert Coles, business junior was chairman of the program.
'Y' Groups to Sponsor Party
The two University organizations are sponsoring the party with the cooperation of the Lawrence Community group.
The world's smallest post office is at Bill's Place, Pa.
