This was a natural result of the difficult world problems that have faced it from the beginning. But during the past week the real agency for the furthering of lasting peace began its meetings in New York with little fanfare. That agency is the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural organization. While the Security Council is charged with the settlement of international disputes, U.N.E.S.C.O. is pledged to the all-important job of preventing such disputes by the promotion of world understanding and respect. The preamble to its constitution reads in part as follows: "The states, parties to this constitution, believing in full and equal opportunities for education for all, in the unrestricted pursuit of objective truth, and in the free exchange of ideas and knowledge, are agreed and determined to develop and to increase the means of communication between their peoples and to employ these means for the purposes of mutual understanding and a truer and more perfect knowledge of each other's lives." The constitution clearly states that this organization has no authority to interfere with national educational matters that are purely domestic. However, it does pledge to "give fresh impulse to popular education and to the spread of culture; by instituting collaboration among the nations to advance the ideal of equality of educational opportunity without regard to race, sex, or any distinctions, economic of social; by suggesting educational methods best suited to prepare the children of the world for the responsibilities of freedom." U. N.E.S.C.O. has cut out a big job for itself and yet it is a job that must be done if we are to have any assurance of lasting peace. Ignorance and lack of understanding have been great contributors to wars in the past. Even in America, with our comparatively high level of education, there is wide-spread misunderstanding and suspicion. The work of this organization must of necessity be planned on a long-range basis and its activity will be inconspicuous in comparison to the more explosive issues in world affairs. But this in no way decreases its vital importance. We will do well to keep an eye on U.N.E.S.C.O. The success or failure of its program will determine to a large degree whether the world will achieve a permanent peace based on universal understanding and respect between nations. The University of Oklahoma's threat to withdraw from the Big-6 if Negroes are allowed to compete in conference athletics reminds us of the spoiled little boy who picked up his marbles and went home because the boys wouldn't use his rules. The report of the mill fire in Atchison last week made no mention of the loss of life. No, there were no lives directly lost but we wonder how many hungry Europeans may die through the loss of $25,000 worth of already very scarce flour. The Last Straw The nation has been plagued by much labor strife during the past several months and conditions have often been described as "very serious." But somehow through it all Americans have tried to maintain a feeling of confidence that all would turn out all right. Call it morale or call it a firm belief in the American way of life, it has helped pull us through some difficult times. However, the present coal strike has so disrupted our economy that our morale is beginning to sag. And now, when we are in need of higher spirits, we are about to lose one of our morale boosters. The creator of the famous Varga girl is about to go out on strike unless he gets higher wages! That would be too much. Somehow, in spite of all the inconveniences of strikes we could always look to the lighter side of life to keep our spirits up—and who has done more to keep up morale than Mr. Varga? In case of doubt, ask any G.I. who went abroad through the courtesy of Uncle Sam. If Varga quits work, what will G.I.'s and collegians paper their walls with? Please don't quit, Mr. Varga. What's happened to the Atlantic Charter? President Truman and the state department seem to have completely forgotten it. We refer to the proposal for a virtual military bloc of the Americas. As if international suspicion was not great enough, new fuel has been added to the fire. It is hard to see how they can reconcile this new proposal with the Atlantic Charter and the spirit of the United Nations. Tenting On The Old Camp Grounds The business placement bureau has scores of contacts with firms located in all parts of the country. Representatives from two or three of these firms visit K.U. almost every week to interview students and make job offers. Also the demand in the midwest, especially in Kansas City, Topeka, Wichita, St. Joseph, and St. Louis, is increasing due to a general movement of certain types of industry from the east to the midwest. —From the St. Louis Star-Times Jobby Lobby (VII): Dean Stockton Says Demand for Business Graduates Will Exceed the Available Supply By F: T. STOCKTON (Dean, School of Business) The work prospect for graduating seniors in business is very good this year. In fact, the demand for graduating seniors will exceed the supply available. There will be positions for all who want them and are qualified. The reconversion to peace has increased the demand for all college graduates in the field of business. The increase is in evidence this year and will continue, we believe, for several years. This spring there are approximately 45 graduating seniors from the School of Business, 10 economics majors from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and 12 graduate students, who will be available for jobs. By June '47 there should be close to 200 graduating seniors. It is our belief that business will have a growing demand for well qualified K.U. graduates in accounting work, sales work, production work, merchandising, industrial management and personnel fields. Specific fields in which the demand far exceeds the supply are the public and industrial accounting fields. One reason for this is in the increased complexity of accounting systems necessary to give full information in view of present government controls and the complex tax laws. There is a very good demand for graduates in all sales fields. This demand will undoubtedly last for the next five to ten years. When production of consumer goods gets underway, normal competition should be resumed and increase the demand for graduates in the merchandising and marketing fields. With the increase in competition and the increasing demand for a better understanding between labor and industry, a new and very important work is open to graduates in industrial relations and personnel work. In conclusion it is our belief that well trained students in business administration and all areas of business study have an excellent opportunity to get good jobs in 1946 and for many years to come. Litchen Will Teach Citizenship at K-State Miss Ruth Litchen, University High school social studies teacher, has been added to the staff of the workshop in citizenship education at Kansas State college June 24 to July 20, Dr. R. A. Walker, director of the Institute of Citizenship, announced today. Miss Lichen is a former president of the Kansas Council for Social Studies. Other members of the workshop staff will be Robert E. Keohane, University of Chicago and senior author of the state approved civics text, Evan E. Evans, superintendent of schools at Winfield; and Charles E. Hawkes, superintendent at Salina. The workshop is designed to help teachers of the social sciences in high school and colleges improve their teaching for better citizenship. Some high schools in the state are planning to send their civics and social science teachers to the workshop, Dr. Walker said. Shenk Heads Recreation Henry Shenk, professor of physical education, has been appointed one of the city recreational commissioners. This committee of five will be in charge of all supervised recreation in school district 60, which includes Lawrence. Rock Chalk By PAT FOSTER Life is just like a guessing game. Some people simply don't believe in studying for quizzes. Alfred Seelye, assistant professor in marketing, gave a true and false test recently. There wasn't a sound in the room until a loud "clunk" came from the back of the room. Who flipped that coin anyway? Steaks are hard to get, too. Four Sigma Nu's and their dates were all set for a big steak fry at Lone Star lake. Dick Parsell and Bob Dougherty could hardly wait to get there as they had been anticipating the steaks for days. They even thought they knew of a short cut. Ray Binnicker and George Polk waited in car with the food for over an hour. Dick and Bob were seen at the "Mite" about 10 o'clock eating their seventh hamburger. Whoops, a close call. In a capella practice Monday, Dean Swanhorn asked a few students to move the piano for him as he sorted some music. They gave the huge grand a push and it went rolling across the floor. Luckily they were able to stop, it a few inches from the Dean just as it a stopped to pick up some music. Hubba, Hubba. Why is it that there are so many K.U. women standing in front of one of the side shows at the carnival? Their dates couldn't be inside the show "Tempation and Peaches" or could they? Do or die. Tommy Thompson, ardent student politician was "positively furious" Monday morning. She went around all over the campus tearing off Boyd Raeburn stickers. That other political party had its nerve pasting them everywhere. Wonder where Tommy has been keeping herself these days? Paris. (UP) — Gen. Charles De Gaulle today refused an invitation by the French government to take part in the French victory celebrations May 12. He said that instead he planned to go to the grave of Georges Clemenceau at Cerne Des-Colombiers near Mouchamps next Sunday.
