Ku Ku's To Meet Tonight
Removal Of Storm Doors Welcomes Spring To K.U.
Ku Ku's will meet in the Pine room at 7:30 today, to make plans for the "Evening in Paris" party to be held Friday night.
Spring was officially welcomed on the University campus—not by the first robin, not by the budding bushes, but by the removal of the storm doors from the buildings. The change was made during the Easter recess.
Along with the removal of the storm doors came other changes. Returning students found that the front foyer floor of Watson library had a new coat of gray paint. Gravel roads on the campus had been soaked with their spring smear of oil. Racial Committee to Me
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of building and grounds, commented that the only dark cloud in the recess work schedule was the one that dropped about three inches of rain on the area.

"We just finished putting in grass at Sumnyside, but with that rain we'll probably have the job to do over again," he said.
'UN Can't Exist In Defeatism,' Mrs. Rohde Says
The United Nations organization cannot exist in an atmosphere of defeatism, Mrs. Ruth Bryan Robde, former United States minister to Denmark, told a convocation audience this morning.
"The U.N.O. will accomplish only what the people believe it can accomplish," she stated. "Faith and determination must be behind the charter."
Mrs. Rohde has been a congresswoman from Florida. She attended the San Francisco conference and her outline of the United Nations organization has been published. She has been attending the United Nations meetings at Lake Success, N.Y.
Public Hears Disagreements
"The public cannot visualize the wide areas of agreement in this organization if they only hear about disagreements." Mrs. Rohde declared.
The general assembly has dealt with almost 1,200 documents,but the news centers around the disagreements and arguments of the security council, she said.
"When one looks at all the bodies that have been set up and are functioning, one cannot feel pessimistic about the U.N.O.," Mrs. Rohde believes.
U. N. Committees Agree
"In the last meeting of the narcotics commission before Christmas, a widely divided group of nations will hand bouquets to each other."
The United Nations committees and commissions deal with a wide area of problems of social and economic importance to the world, and those groups are usually in agreement, she said.
If the people of the world can learn to adopt an attitude of cooperation, the United Nations organization has its main objective. Mrs. Rohde said,
"We have a choice between cooperation, though difficult, and unthinkable atomic wars."
