Traffic Test
The biggest test for campus drivers and pedestrians is about here.
That biggest test is the traffic problem just before and after basketball games in Hoch auditorium. With more cars and more pedestrians than ever before, every bit of care possible will be needed to prevent serious accidents.
Most campus drivers are fairly proficient in the mechanics of driving and most pedestrians can walk a straight line if they have to. But anyone watching the flow of traffic on Jayhawk drive can see that many drivers and pedestrians don't realize that carefulness is as important as dexterity.
Next Wednesday night's test probably won't be complicated by ice streets or sleeted-over windshields. If campus traffic officials will give a few "shotguns" in the form of traffic tickets for reckless driving or thoughtless jaywalking Wednesday, they may prevent flunks when the test gets rougher.
A good child psychologist would find United Nations problems very simple.
Just Kids
For instance, he'd say that the United States and England are like parents of an ornery little boy, played by Russia. The parents suggest something and the little boy protests violently, "I won't, I won't, I won't."
Russia declared for months that she'd never give up the veto on any matter. Some unpublicized pressure was applied, and suddenly Russia changes her mind and says that she'll relinquish the veto power as far as the atomic bomb and arms control committee is concerned.
Then, just as a razor strop seems the only solution, the little boy suddenly gives in and the domestic scene once again is peaceful.
And, don't overlook this. Neither the parents nor th little boy are always personified by the same countries. The English - speaking countries have played the stubborn little boy role, too.
We've Learned
Five years ago tomorrow the United States was dragged completely out of its isolation by the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor.
Many reasons were given for the attack, but the basic reason was that we, the American people, had shirked for 20 years our responsibility as the potentially most powerful nation in the world.
We sponsored the idea of the League of Nations, then refused to dirty our hands by co-operating with other countries. We thought we could live in our own land and ignore the rest of the world.
We were wrong. Pearl Harbor proved that.
We learned the inevitable companion of power is responsibility.
We sponsored the idea of the United Nations and so far we have stayed in there pitching. Right now, UN seems to be getting slowly ever closer to the goal of a strong international ruling body. If it achieves that goal, it will because the United States has this time accepted responsibility and worked with the rest of the world.
With a strong United Nations organization, the United States need never fear another Pearl Harbor.

Dear Editor---

Skeptical Of "Suspension"
In your editorial in Tuesday's Daily Kansan, you mention that, "Dean Henry Werner said... no student has been expelled from school this year. . students have been suspended; none has been dismissed. . the two ticket-sellers are still suspended, but they will be reinstated as soon as they show that they can live under the rules set up by our society."
It is a fine thing to see that the worthy dean is taking cognizance of the great injustice done to these two men; however, it is not true though, to all practical purposes that the two students have been dismissed, rather than suspended?
Is it not true, also, that both men have lost their benefits under the "G.I. Bill" and thus been denied the means with which to go through college?
Furthermore, is it not true that an unduly long delay in allowing these men to continue their education, will, at their ages, be an insurmountable barrier for them?
It is very naive to think that an indefinite suspension is only that; it really is a dismissal, regardless of what the good dean chooses to call it.
In this case, true justice can not be achieved unless both men are reinstated immediately. The University owes at least this to these two men who fought and bled for the principles of true justice.
William Scheinman College freshman
(Editor's note: The two students got off with a temporary suspension instead of a possible jail sentence; they have not lost their G.I. benefits; many men older than these two are still going to school. Because a man fights for principles of justice one day, is he thereby entitled to dodge those same principles when applied personally?)

Students may vote for "Miss Student Union" by dropping pennies into a Christmas seal box. No one will be criticized for trying to buy the election.
Telephone hours for women's houses have been extended another half hour on Sunday night. This means the first guy in the phone booth will get an hour's chat with his o. and o.
Accounts of the exchange between John L. Lewis and Judge Goldsborough somehow are reminiscent of a buck private daring his first sergeant to give him another tour of Saturday night guard.
An airport executive accuses Leo Durocher of stealing the affections of his wife, Loraine Day, who denies the charges and intimates the wrong man is named "Lipy."
This close after Thanksgiving, this headline struck us as particularly appropriate: "Finally Fill School Staff."
