Of course, Sunflower Village doesn't have to be "messy."
Re-Deal the Veterans
After the Daily Kansan's news department printed the Sunflower feature article, with the headline that said "Sunflower Village: Messy. But a Haven for Students," several veterans who live at Sunflower protested.
The cry, of course, has been "don't segregate the veterans." OK, we didn't do it. A veteran lives at Sunflower sandwiched in between a plant worker and the family of a sailor whose duty is at Olathe.
"It isn't our fault," they declared. "Surely, there's trash and rubbish lying around, but why blame us? It's the only place we could get to live."
What we question is the system under which our 300 or more ex- servicemen and their families were assigned to live at Sunflower.
Even though Sunflower is a temporary solution to the veteran's housing situation, student families may call it home for one, two, or three years. And as their semi-permanent residence, they deserve more than a hodge-podge community.
It seems to us that sometime before next fall the veterans should be grouped together. Give them a section of the village for their own and give them the authority to run it.
So what happens to the trash and rubbish in the area? Nothing. No one family feels any responsibility. Why should they pick it up, it's not theirs, is it?
Then and only then will they be able to be proud of their surroundings.

She Can't Use Her Own Sink In Egypt
...
中 宋
Public is invited to the Sigma Xi lecture at 7:30 Thursday in Fraser theater. Dr. G. Baley Price, mathematics department, will speak on "A mathematician describes his work as operations analyst with the Eighth Air Force in England."
There are no dishpan hands in Egypt.
Mrs. Fred Krieg, '33, wife of an Associated Press correspondent in Egypt, is in her seventh heaven because the chore of dish washing is strictly a man's job in this paradise along the Nile.
Mrs. Krieg, the former Marjorie Luxton, was reared in Topeka and lived for a time in Lawrence.
Having grown up in a country where men are men and the household tasks fall to the women, Marjorie can't get used to her majordomo, Mohamed, doing the cleaning, marketing, and cooking, as well as polishing the dirty dishes.
Mohamed does the housework so easily that he makes her feel ill at ease even in her own kitchen. If an American woman tries to muscle her way into a kitchen in Egypt, she is likely to meet the protest that "it is too warm in here for missy—you will catch cold." The boys just don't like women cluttering up their domain.
Marjorie's only worry is that she doesn't know just how Mohamed cleans the dirty dishes that no woman wants to polish herself.
"I don't know how he does it, because there's no hot water," she exclaims. "But sometimes I think it will be better if I never learn. There are some things about Egypt you just don't want to know."
The 40,000 horse-power electric motor in the Wright field, Ohio, wind tunnel is believed to be the largest in the United States.
