Dr. Bert Nash
Kansas youth has lost one of its best friends. Dr. Bert Nash could have chosen no more significant last words than his appeal to responsible adults to help prevent juvenile delinquency, since his greatest interest in life was to make conditions better for children.
Since the Kansas Council for Children was formed in 1942 to coordinate efforts of some 50 organizations in the state, Dr. Nash has been one of its most active members. As chairman of the legislative committee, he helped draft bills for the benefit of Kansas young people; he worked with the Kansas Legislative council and with individual legislators to show the need for such laws. In 1945 Dr. Nash was president of the Council for Children.
One of the goals toward which Dr. Nash worked tirelessly was a system for more appropriate treatment of Kansas problem children. His discoveries in testing the young inmates of institutions, and his laboratory course for graduate students in education, showed that apparently some juvenile delinquents were not receiving the type of treatment appropriate for their cases.
This condition was recognized when the Receiving home was established at Atchison in 1943 by the Kansas Legislature. Dr. Nash, who had been instrumental in getting the home, was made its director and served until the summer of 1945. The home, a facility which few states have adopted, is a diagnostic center for children who have committed delinquent acts; it gives special attention to, and recommends final disposition of, each case to the proper authorities.
When words were most efficient, Dr. Nash talked about improving society. But even more of his time was spent in doing the things in which he believed. By continuously pushing education, concrete action, and new plans, he set himself to the self-sacrificing task of strengthening society at its foundation.
Because of him, youngsters of tomorrow will find a sounder base on which to build.
Brotherhood
The National Council of Christians and Jews, Inc., which sponsors the week's campaign, is to be commended for its intensity and thoroughness. But a week isn't enough.
National Brotherhood week started in South Carolina Monday with the lynching of a Negro. The man whom the Negro was alleged to have stabbed had not died. This isn't even fair retaliation according to the old law of an eye for an eye.
You Can Help
How about starting now to make 1947 National Brotherhood year?
Resentment against such injustice isn't enough, either. Until the idea of brotherhood feels like something more to us than a halo around our heads, it won't be very effective.
If you found your organization publication stacked on the ground, it is because our carriers are hired to leave a specified number of Daily Kansans at each place and they haven't time to hunt up owners of material which overcrowds the box.
Please don't use Daily Kansan distribution boxes for private publicity.
Since distribution boxes were constructed and are maintained at the expense of the Daily Kansan, posters tacked to the outside suggest that the paper sponsors whatever activity is being advertised. An all student publication cannot play favorites, so please help us be fair.
Montana State university men have organized a tuxedo exchange. As if a man didn't already have enough trouble proving who wears the pants.
Kansas City eighth-graders flew to Topeka recently to see how government works. American politics often puts adults up in the air, too.
Robert Van Citters, who heads the honor roll in the School of Education, is an athlete. He would have had a straight A average, but it seems that someone in the Physical Education department gave him a B in football technique.
As We See It, Or The Inhuman Side Of The News
Meanwhile, over in the ping pong department—which was on her beat but which she didn't get to cover because of the Roll Em Baby club—the head professor made an important speech on "Price Inflation and Its Effect on Ping Pong Balls" in a distant city. Obviously the sad little reporter didn't know anything about it. But the big mean editor did and

Mrs. Ivory said the story couldn't be released yet, and the sad little reporter ran all the way across the campus to get to her class on time. The professor wiggled his nose under his glasses when she slid in late, and promptly counted her absent. In spirit she was.
Once there was a little Daily Kansan reporter who worked extremely hard and ran all over the campus, but try as she would, she couldn't be anything better than a sad little reporter.
One rainy morning, her assignment read, "see Miss Seven Eleven in the Dice department about the monthly meeting of the Roll Em Baby club." Diligently she called Miss Eleven. Miss Eleven said "Call Mr. Hot Shot." Mr. Shot didn't know either. He suggested Mrs. Ivory.
Then the professor of the Pool Playing department called up the big mean editor and told him the sad little reporter had the wrong date on a meeting. The sad little reporter was sure the Pool professor had told her one date, and he was sure he had told her another. But the big mean editor, as all editors will, sided with the old cue ball and the sad little reporter simply couldn't be any sadder.
Between classes the sad little reporter ran quickly over to see the president of the Society for Prevention of Night Watchmen on the Campus and got a story from him. Then she ran quickly to class for two hours. But alas, her notes got cold and the sad little reporter could not read two words. Back she trotted, and the president of the Society for Prevention of Night Watchmen on the Campus was testy and graffu and she got two words Now she was even sadder.
he gave her H E double hockey sticks. She was even sadder.
Then the final blow fell—she had to cover a night meeting, and her boy friend went out with a blonde. Moral: Don't major in journalism.
