'U.S. Profited As Russians Died,' Red Accuses
Paris. UP) — Andrei Vishinsky, Russia, alleging American "statistical juggling on Balkan economic issues, today indirectly charged the United States with "making money" during the war while the Soviet Union was spending its blood to halt Hitlerism.
"Not even in a fraternity?"
The conference secretariat called a plenary session for tonight to act on Big Four injunctions to speed up the peace conference machinery.
vishinsky's attack was made in the Balkan economic commission where he objected to American demands for compensation for property damages in Romania.
"Some countries," Vishinsky said, "might be able to say how much the war cost them. Maybe it is because in our country we had no capitalists reaping profits while our soldiers died on the battlefield."
he accused Willard Thorp, American delegate, of "statistical juggling" were taking vast sums from Romania while the United States sought very small amounts.
Thorp had attacked Russia for opposing United Nations requests for property compensation amounting to less than $100,000,000 while Russia and her satellites demanded upwards of two billion dollars from Romania in reparations and occupation costs.
"While our blood flowed," Vishinsky said, "you were making profits. That is why your declaration is unworthy of a friendly country.
'The Greatest' Didn't Last Long
"the Pioneer," that hard-working shoveler just east of Fraser hall, didn't last long in his impersonation as "the Greatest" today.
The statue was discovered this morning wearing an iceman's back pad labeled "The Greatest" (who incidentally was eaten Sunday by the Wolf Gal). By 9 o'clock, however, workmen were planting flowers around his pedestal and the back pad had disappeared.
Sic transit gloria mundi.

Closed, Limited Dates Are Out This Year
We are wondering how we can get lunch, with so many others
We need so much.

The closed nights are open. We can party every weekend. What a return to peace. The wolves will howl. And the University tells its night watchmen not—repeat not—to patrol Potter lake or the stadium at night.

We need books.
Social chairmen who have been fretting over the ten closed nights on the K.U. social calendar need not mop their foreheads longer. All nights for the first semester have been opened for parties.
Begin it, you mean.
End rat race?
Officers from several organizations meeting with Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, and Willis Tompkins, assistant dean of men, this week decided to open all dates on the calendar for social activities this semester.
Limited date events which permitted one other party on the hill the same night also have been opened to additional parties.
However, Miss Habein cautioned, this does affect the ruling requiring all parties except hour dances to be authorized by the dean of women.
By mid-semester, a plan for the second semester closed events will be adopted.
Those meeting with Miss Habein and Mr. Tompkins were Howard Engleman, president of All Student Council; Lorraine Carpenter, president of I.S.A.; Larry McSpadden, Varsity manager; Joan Woodward and Keith Wilson, president and vice-president of Union Activities committee; J. R. Danneberg, president of the Inter-Fraternity council; Kathryn O'Leary, president of Pan-Hellenic; and Ned Linegar, YMCA secretary.
Dates which were opened by this ruling included the Homecoming celebration, Oct. 18; Pumpkin Prom, Oct. 26; Carnival, Nov. 16; Sophomore Hop, Dec. 7; Christmas dance, Dec. 14, and a Varsity dance, Jan. 11.

day.

In case of rain, the entire service will be cancelled. University authorities said.
All Must Work For Future Malott Declares
Gov. Andrew Schoopeel and Fred M. Harris, reagent, also spoke.
It will take everyone's best to give this country a "confident future," Chancellor Deane W. Malott told a packed Hoch auditorium of students in the University's 81st opening exercises today.
To be a citizen of America today "requires time, effort, and thought, not only to crystallize one's own thoughts, but to influence others," the chancellor declared.
"The strength, solidarity, and venturesomeness and honesty of American youth are needed. Without it, the country may be slithering into political and social problems which will lose us the hard-won freedom of our forefathers.
"It it is not then the material surroundings, the scientific achievements, the fast, mad pace of a mushrooming technical world which poses our problems, but rather the continuing problems of human relationships," he said.
If labor is advised by its leaders to slow down, if labor's production declines as its wages increase, "the political and economic standards of this country are in serious jeopardy," the chancellor declared.
He called for straight thinking on the part of students, pointing out "we cannot have a sound opinion of Russian policy if that opinion is based merely on a dislike for the able, shrewd, and liberal former secretary of commerce, without a careful reading" of his July 23rd letter to the president, or his Madison Square Garden speech.
Gov. Andrew Schoeppel greeted the students, saying, "You are beginning a great career in a great era preparing yourselves for the utmost in living and striving to be of greater service to your community, state and nation."
Fred M. Harris, who represented the Board of Regents at the opening convocation, was impressed with the ratio of men to women when he drove on the campus this morning.
Regular Closing Hours Start
Regular closing hours go into effect with a 10:30 deadline tonight for University women.
Chi Chow's Subsistence Allowance Will Be $160,000 (If He Gets It)
By CHARLES ROOS
(Daily Kansan Staff Writer)
It's going to cost someone several million dollars to send him through K.U., Chi C. Chow, of Hangchow, said today. He just hopes the money doesn't come out of his pocket.
The 23-year-old Chinese student, a sophomore in chemical engineering, is hoping the Chinese government will chip in about $160,000 a month to help him out.
The dollars mentioned, of course, are the highly-inflated Chinese variety.
"The last time I heard from home, the ratio was 2,000 Chinese dollars to one American." Shi said. "It may be even more now."
Chi's higher education began more than five years ago at Chekiang university in China. He entered the war against Japan at 18. Because of his knowledge of English, he became a liaison officer between Chinese and U.S. troops, most of the time with portable field hospitals near the Burmese border.
early in 1945, Chi came to America as a civilian expert to assist in training Chinese army officers in U.S. camps. In the course of this
"The customary amount is about 80 American dollars a month to students," he said. "We expect to get that amount eventually, but in the meantime we're living on our savings."
Chi and the 90 others who decided to study in this country expect their government eventually to pay them an educational allowance.
work, he and other Chinese in similar positions got a chance to continue their education in the United States.
A former K.U. student, whose name he can't remember, gave Chi his first introduction to the University when both men were stationed at a Florida air field. Chi resigned in June, 1946, and enrolled here for the summer session.
Universities—whether Chinese or American—are pretty much alike, he said. The University of Chekiang is larger in area than K.U., but has about the same number of students. Like most Chinese institutions, it lacks schools of fine arts and medicine.
These schools are independent of regular universities in China, he said.
