The A.V.C. Comes to K.U.
The formation of the K.U. chapter of the American Veterans Committee brings a new veterans' voice to the Hill. Headed by Russell Barrett, College senior, it is one of hundreds of campus chapters throughout the country.
The AVC is a fairly new organization, being born out of World War II. It was founded in 1943 when a corporal and a group of his friends in the service began exchanging ideas on how to provide the peace, jobs, and freedom they and their comrades were earning on the battlefields.
It is a group of young men that feel the veterans of World War II through their experiences have gained a new perspective and they desire to express it without interference from older and in some ways outdated veterans bodies. Its membership includes Harold Stassen, Bill Mauldin, Col. Evans F. Carlson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., Will Rogers Jr., George "Sad Sack" Baker, Richard Tregaskis, Barney Ross, and Merle Miller.
What is the AVC fighting for? Its statement of principles seems commendable. Among other things it is plugging for: a job for every veteran, under a system of private enterprise in which business, labor, agriculture, and government work together to provide full employment and full production for the nation; adequate financial, medical, vocational, and educational assistance for every veteran; thorough social and economic security; free speech, press, worship, assembly, and ballot; establishment of an international veterans council for the furtherance of world peace and justice among all nations; and above all, active participation of the United States in the United Nations to stop any threat of aggression and to promote social and economic measures which will remove the causes of war. At a time when many fly-by-night veterans groups are being formed, it is reassuring to find one with the motto "Citizens First—Veterans Second."
The AVC already has several notable accomplishments. It sent the only veterans delegation to the United Nations' San Francisco conference in 1945. It proposed and got an amendment to the GI Bill of Rights liberalizing farm loans and increasing payments to vets going to school. It pointed out shortcomings in the Veterans Administration and saw those faults corrected in some cases. It fought for the Wyatt Emergency Housing plan while some veterans organizations stood by twiddling their thumbs.
The KVA is already established on the campus but the appearance of this new group should provide no arena for conflict between the two bodies. Certainly that is not the wish of either organization. Since the two associations are organized on different campus lists, many of the Jayhawker vets will want to belong to both organizations.
What the K.U. chapter of the American Veterans Committee will accomplish in the matter of Hill problems remains to be seen. No one will deny that there are plenty of perplexing problems for this new group to tackle—J.C.

Rock Chalk
By JOAN HARRIS
Famous first words—While snapping shots for "life" on D-day, Mark Kauffman lined up a group of girls for "atmosphere" pix. Upon spotting Joan Joseph clad in shorts, he raised an eyebrow and said, "That's a good-looking girl—cute face, too."
Everyone appreciated Chancellor Malott's sage remark that Harold Urey, whose wife is a former Jayhawker, has K.U. for his alma "mater-in-law."
What'll ya' have?—Sig Ep's revived an old ya' tradition at their hay-ride rack Saturday night by selecting a "Hobble Bobble" queen. Dates were requested to stroll slowly around the bonfire, turning on all the old southern charm. For having all the qualifications plus being a strawberry blonde, Betty Emigh, SK, was winner. By way of booty, she was given her choice of ten-dozen toasted marshmallows or a shot of firewater.
Daaaa—An important point confronted the psych class and Dr. Coleman requested that each student keep his attention strictly within the windows. After stating the issue, he proceeded to give examples and explanations, drawing numerous diagrams on the board. Just before the whistle blew, LaVerne Keeven, Corbinite, waved her hand and said, "Dr. Coleman, what was it you said was so important at the first of the hour?"
Wallflowers—Fifi's got around the no-out-of-town parties ruling by having members of the highway patrol escort them to Topeka for an affair at the Jayhawk hotel Saturday night. There they held a big banquet with cigars and gardenias for after-dinner favors. The only blight of the evening was that many of the 17-year-old rushes present, who also received cigars, were too sick to participate in the dance which followed.
