Fear of Fear
America is riding on the crest of a fear epidemic. Like most epidemics it becomes more virulent and dangerous with its rapid spread.
On every hand our leaders, both military and political, are warning us of the great annihilating war that we may some day face. Some say that it is inevitable.
In a country that has been thinking in terms of death and violence, these hysterical warnings of the atomic bomb, international disagreements, and future wars find fertile ground. The average citizen, sick from the last war and feeling helpless in solving the problems, is left bewildered and fearful.
The raw nerves of our nation are kept from healing by such troubles as strikes, threats of inflation, loss of loved ones, and revolt and unrest in other countries.
Back in the dark days of the American Revolution, Thomas Paine wrote "The Crisis." This appeal gave the soldiers and civilians new courage and faith and was a strong influence in turning the tide of the war.
Have we no leaders today to come forward and give us the same courage and faith so that our crisis can be met proudly and valiantly. We can lead the world into a new era of peace if we are first led from our fear at home. As the late President Roosevelt said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."-C.O.
Never Again
As 3 o'clock in the morning rolls into 4 o'clock any night about three weeks from now, all over the campus weary students with bloodshot eyes will be pouring themselves another cup of coffee and cursing finals. They'll not be condemning the final system, however, so much as the way they're preparing for it.
It's top late in the semester for the usual editorial number on keeping up on daily assignments and avoiding the final rush. It's too late to scare you into changing your ways by recalling the terrors of past final weeks—maybe you remember them anyway—
Fighting off sleep with coffee and pills which are guaranteed to keep you awake—reading books assigned six weeks before—writing term papers—deciphering almost illegible class notes—and learning very little anyway.
So you live through it and promise, "never again" enroll for the next semester, take things easy for 12 or 13 weeks, and there you are again with that old feeling that once again you'll regret letting things "pile up."
In three weeks you can do a little—if it's no more than to keep from slipping farther behind. You might think about declaring yourself a special new year—one that begins Feb. 11. And there's no reason why you can't use those final week wild nights and hangovers as the new year's eve celebrations.
A Nebraska U. coed, veteran of three war years in college and many lonely nights playing cards with the girls, has several ways of explaining the manpower shortage. One is that too many couples think a pair beats a full house.
Rock Chalk
By JOAN HARRIS
It must be "magnetism"—George Cox, Psi, trekked to Wichita to spend a short spell with g.f. Nancy Love during the holidays, but what with the Triad, Pan-Hell dances, a host of parties and receptions plus New Year's eve, he decided to make the place his permanent address and visit home awhile before returning to school. The party wound up at Hutch, where Betty Lay, Nancy, and Georgia were the houseguests of "Ace" Dillon.
Queen of the islands—When the commanding officer at Attu in the Aleutians caught a glimpse of Gwen Harger's profile in the Star around homecoming time, he was much impressed and proceeded to improve the morale by passing the picture among the boys. A few weeks later, Gwen received an official bulletin informing her that she had been elected queen of Attu, signed and sealed by the C.O., and containing the signatures of the voters.
The morning of Jan. 1—Gamma Phi's, gathered at the home of La-Juan Braden for an "eve" bull session-slumber party, slept the day away with the alarm clock buried in the backyard and the phone off the book.—Marilyn Watkins and Harry McClure strangely had colds—Howard White and Ted Amberg had hot water bottles on their heads—The Rosie's had classes—
All that and he dances, too—among his many other talents, at last it can be told that "Odd" Williams is also a gifted hoofer and ballet instructor. He has all the hard working girls in the Union Activities office busy learning his latest routines (shuffle, step, slap, shuffle).
Was your stocking full? -Pi Phi's report that Dottie Rose Stodder was most favored by Santa this time what with a shiny new convertible to her credit, Kappas' Morris and Zeller came back in sleek furs, while Westminster's Betty Faust now wears a diamond. Best of all, though, were the nylons bestowed on SK's Sally Rothrock and the teddy bears now sitting in the rooms of Joan Joseph at Theta house, and Caroline Merritt, Gamma Phi.
Should auld acquaintance be forged—Len Hartigan, Fiji, is the lucky boy who received the glamorous pin-up picture with an inscription "from Blondie."
Time will tell—Joy Godbehere insists that the dance being given by Hill frat men this Saturday is a Pan-Hellenic affair; no matter how often she is told that the name is Inter-Frat.
The largest enrollment in K.U. history is expected for the 1946 University of Kansas summer session, Raymond C. Nichols, executive secretary, said today.
Summer Enrollment May Set a Record
School officials expect most of the more than 500 veterans now enrolled to continue through the eight-week summer period, June 18 through August 9, and many public school teachers who have been in war jobs will be returning to summer school work.
Announcement of summer session courses will be made early in June, Nichols said.
Malott to Speak
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, University of Kansas, will speak at ceremonies Friday afternoon when the Winter general hospital will be dedicated formally as a Veterans Administration facility.
It's Really Peace We All Will Enroll At the Same Time
For the first time in three years, all University students will enroll at the same time and take classes under the same schedule, when the second semester begins Feb. 11, L. C. Woodcruff, registrar, said recently.
Courses of different duration and begin at unusual times were established during the emergency to accommodate army and navy programs and to provide accelerated work for students before entering the service.
Both the 16-week term begun in September and the 12-week session which began Nov. 1, will be terminated in time for simultaneous enrollment Feb. 11.
V-12 trainees will complete their 16-week term Feb. 8, instead of Feb. 27, as previously scheduled, enabling this group to enroll also on Feb. 11.
International Relations Club May Revive
The International Relations club, which has not been functioning during the war, will be organized again soon, Professor H. B. Chubb said today.
During the war there was little interest in such an organization, Professor Chubb said, but after receiving literature regarding it from the Carnegie endowment, he talked to a group of 25 students who will form the nucleus of the new organization.
