Share Your Share
The next best thing to a "First" is a "Close Second" and K.U. has the opportunity to be a close second in a worthy project.
Cornell university has begun a "Share Your Share" program of food conservation which it believes is the first such campus program in the country.
Ninety-six per cent of the women at Cornell have voted to impose upon themselves a program of self abstinence in food consumption. Bread is not to be eaten at any evening meal and there will be one meatless day each week. They expect the same plan to be adopted by the men students at Cornell.
It shouldn't be necessary to point out again the seriousness of the current world food shortage. That has been explained fully over the radio and in the newspapers and magazines many times.
It's common knowledge that Americans waste enough food each day to feed millions of people and that we eat better than the people of any other country. Our moral conscience should cause us to do all in our power to give life and new hope to the hungry and discouraged peoples of the world.
Hunger has often been the seed of revolt, chaos, and tyranny throughout history. The world is in dire need of unity today. Widespread hunger and suffering will not help us to achieve that world unity.
There is common agreement that the world of tomorrow must be founded on brotherhood, and our brotherhood can't be sincere if we profess it and yet allow millions to die of starvation.
It may be hard to visualize the critical conditions that exist in Europe and Asia as long as we have our own well-stocked stores and restaurants. To dispel any doubt about the seriousness of the situation one need only talk to a veteran who has served in one of the war-devastated countries.
Personal efforts to prevent food waste and to eat less are laudable. But even better is a program that unites groups of people in a common cause to that end. We have the opportunity to set a precedent in the Middle West in a cause of the highest merit.
The students of K.U. can show their awareness of the critical food shortage and their earnest desire to do their part to alleviate that condition by embarking on a University-wide effort to prevent food waste and use less food from the world's insufficient supply.
Our reward would be the satisfaction that we had helped to save human lives. Who can ask for a better reason?

Kansan Open Letters
To Student Political Leaders:
Spring elections are approaching and there will again be a flurry of political activity on the campus. But after the election will the Hill parties again fall into apparent inactivity?
Why don't the parties remain active throughout the year? You can be of service not only to the student body but to the entire student body as well.
Parties should serve as a medium for reflecting student opinion to the student council and for crystalizing opinions into definite issues to be presented to the council for action. Continued activity throughout the year would help stimulate the interest of all students in Hill affairs and issues.
If there is any reason for student political parties, then that reason is sufficient for them to show an active interest in student affairs throughout the school year.
The Danforth chapel has been open only about two weeks and already the building and grounds department reports that students are ruining the grass around it by failing to use the stone walk.
THE DAILY KANSAN
To All Students;
We have already pointed out the unsightly path behind Spooner- Thayer museum.
If the beauty of our campus is worth anything at all, it is worth the effort and time that it will take on our part to preserve that beauty.

Number Please. Word was left on the phone pad at the Phi Gam house for Hank Logan to call 442 and ask for Chick. Hank was in for a surprise when he got a chicken hatchery.
By MARILYN STEINERT
During the same day, word was left for Dick Raney to call a number and ask for Red Dog. Dick's call was to the veterinary hospital.
Come and Get 'Em. About two weeks ago a taxicab driver delivered a bowl of three gold fish and a black one to Bill Shaeffer, Phi Delta. Attached to the bowl was a note saying, "I no longer am able to feed these fish and I know you Delts can take care of them."
The Phi Delts are now asking that the owner please come and change the water because they think the fish are dying.

You Can Tell Me. As Winston Karkew, Ben McKinley and Dan Gardiner, SAE's, were approaching the Chi O house they saw an ambulance out in front and a man at the door ringing the bell. They made a mad dash to the door, grabbed the man and shaking him asked, "What's the matter? Don't spare us, we live here too!" The man answered in an exasperated tone, "I came to get Shirley Crawford." Then he added, "She's my daughter."
Brotherly Love. The Sigma Chi pledges have been kept pretty busy the past few weeks. Don't mention to them about their dish-pan hands but since their cook left them they have to wash the dishes every noon and night.
But they're not taking it lying down. They've made it standard procedure to throw one active in Potter lake each week.
You Can Say That Again. The trouble at the Fiji house is summed up in this short sentence: "The little brown palace is so crowded that you have to go outside to change your mind."
The celebration of new year's, one of the oldest of festivals, was observed on March 25th in the Middle Ages, and in the American colonies until 1752.
Expiring League Of Nations Shower UN How Not To Keep World Peace
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
It is somehow symbolic that the last rites for the League of Nation should be in progress in Geneva at the same time that its successor. United Nations, is grappling with one crisis after another in New
The scene has shifted from the old world to the new; the problems remain much the same in pattern, although in many ways much larger in scope. The world is waiting in anxiety to see whether they will be handled more intelligently and effectively.
Even more, there is a negative value which might be the greatest of all. That consists of the lessons to be learned from the League's mistakes and occasional successes.
The League is dead, but it is passing on to its infant successor a legacy which is not all failure and idiosyncrasion. The valuable part of the legacy is a record of experience and of earnest effort toward a lofty goal, even if the effort failed. In addition, there is a groundwork of experience with the national social, health and related problems which should put the UN far ahead of what is would have been had it started from scratch.
Many reasons have been advanced for the failure of the League of Nations. The chief and most obvious is the absence of the United States throughout the League's existence, and the limited adherence of Russia, which was admitted on sufferance in the 1920's and expelled in 1939 after the invasion of Finland.
The League had vague provisions for collective action against an aggressor, but its members were not bound to take armed action and it had no intrenational military force. Economic penalties were tried, but failed miserably.
Italy invaded Ethiopia and was not punished.
The powers which subsequently became the axis wrecked the League by successive acts of aggression.
Germany kicked over the Verta-
lon who had barely bound into the League covement
Japan flagrantly violated the terms of her mandate over the Pacific is by fortifying them for war. and later with the annexation of Manchuria.
The League floundered helplessly in the face of foreign intervention in
the Spanish civil war.
With each successive step, the aggressor nations realized that if they could get away with one clear act of defiance, they eventually could get away with anything. Hence the second world war.
The fear among delegates to the present UN Security Council in New York has been that if the authority of the UN is flouted at this stage, the result would be weakening and dangerous to the world organization.
Every effort therefore is being made to preserve at least the semblance of UN jurisdiction over any dispute or question that might endanger world peace. Wide concessions were made to keep the Greek, Indonesian or Iranian issues within bounds.
The real problem has been for the big nations to pull together and so far it has been a terrific strain. If Russia, Britain and the United States can emerge from the present meeting without an open split, the smaller nations are likely to have a little of their confidence restored. The shadow of the atomic bomb may be somewhat less frightening.
Falls 15 Floors—With Interruptions—and Lives
Chicago, (UP) - James Anderson,
29, was working on a 15th floor sca-folding on the Dearborn hotel. He lost his grip and fell.
A rope hung down the side of the building, but Anderson's falling body was at least four feet away. His partner, Phil Walsch. 53, swung the rope toward the falling man. By what Walsch called "a million to one chance," the rope looped about Anderson's body as he hurtled past the eighth floor.
Anderson slid down the rope to the third floor. But there he lost his grip and tumbled to the ground
Attendants at St. Luke's hospital said today that Anderson's only injury was a wrenched back.
