Entered as second class matter Sept. 17, 1910, at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kan, under act of March 3, 1879. The state of Missouri has paid over $500,000 to graduate one Negro student in law and ten in journalism, stated R. I. Brigham in an article, "The Price of Segregation," in Survey Graphic. What Price? A graduate school and schools of law and journalism were established at Missouri's Negro Lincoln university when the United States supreme court ruled in 1938 that all states must provide "equal educational facilities" for all qualified students. It also ruled that the obligation could not be met by paying tuition in colleges and universities outside the state. The war postponed action in the 17 states affected by the supreme court decision. All must now find a solution. There were no particularly compelling reasons for abandoning segregation as a policy before. A realist would hardly bet on common sense and humanity against prejudice. But money is a powerful persuader. If segregation is ever to go, it will probably be for economic reasons. Segregation, at the rate of over $40,000 a student, becomes an expensive luxury. Even the southern states may not be willing to pay the price. The picture of hundreds of students getting their homework on the campus lawn creates an idyllic scene. But it also poses a problem—when winter weather drives them indoors, will there still be enough air to breathe in the Union? Cars at the University seem to be of all descriptions from sleek convertibles to converted and embellished jeeps. But we never thought we would see anything like the ancient Buick that stopped in front of Green hall the other day. Checks are still not being cashed at the University business office, we find by bitter experience. Heading the list of future campus improvements—a ski hoist for 14th street. One thousand new members is the goal set by the Y.M.C.A. for its coming membership drive which will begin Wednesday and continue through Oct. 2 under the direction of Glen Varenhorst and Roger Arnold. Y.M.C.A. Membership Goal Set For 1,000 Men One out of every five men who enrolled this semester indicated an interest in the Y, so the cabinet expects the goal to be within reach, according to Dean Smith, president. Letter to Editor See Here, Dr. Laudon, Says Ex-Army Engineer To the Daily Kansan: My pride is stung by a sentence in your Alcan highway story of Oct. 2. You say 600 miles of the "road," from Dawson Creek to Edmonton, is gumbo mud requiring up to three weeks to travel. I was up there with the Army Engineers who built it, and you can't talk about our handiwork that way! All of it is "permanent, wide, graveled, devoid of steep grades, safe." The Alcan highway, built by the U.S. Army, on a route which before the war was trackless forest, muskeg, and mountains, has its southern terminus at Dawson Creek. The 600 miles of poor road from Dawson Creek south to Edmonton is a Canadian civil highway which existed before the war and is no better now than then. We never used it or worked on it because all supplies and personnel could be brought as far as Dawson Creek by rail. Of course the matter is merely one of definition, but to any man who worked up there, calling anything this side of Dawson Creek "Alcan" is unthinkable.

' Orange. (UP)—Some people just won't learn that Texas is big. Comm. A. O. Rabideau, commander of the naval base, here, received a letter from his wife in Duluth, Minn., rejoicing that their son had been assigned to an army base in El Paso, Texas. The commodore had to tell his wife that he was about as close to her—in Duluth—as to their son in El Paso. "Isn't it nice," the letter read, "now you two can be together on week-ends." Committee Says First Defense Must Be Intelligence System Washington, (UP)—A special congressional committee said today the nation must have as its first line of defense a worldwide intelligence system capable of gauging the "strength and weaknesses, the capabilities and plans of foreign powers."
