Year of Change
A prayer written for the New Year included a statement that went something like this: "Give us the serenity to accept those things which cannot be changed, the courage to change those things which can and should be changed, and the common sense to recognize the difference."
It is a prayer that might well be repeated often during the year. Certainly, 1946 is destined to be a year of change—changing the right things at the right time in the right way will make 1946 the year marked as beginning the era of world peace.
To be able to accept the inevitable, to take the bad with the good, and to meet and bear the difficulties which are bound to occur is of investable value.
On the other hand, a tendency, all too prevalent in our country and with our people, to take the "we can't help it" or "it's been this way for years" attitude is one we must guard against in 1946.
Too often we are so blinded by what has been and what we have to see what should and must be done. We do too much looking back to recognize the immediate importance of what is happening in the present. Mistakes, delays, and conflicts must be dealt with according to today's standards instead of yesterday's.
Consider the possibility of the next war. To avoid another world conflict, we're going to have to make some changes in our thinking, our plans, and our ideals. We may have to be ruthless in our action and at the same time sensible in our thought. We must accept the changed and changing concepts and make use of the lessons we have learned.
We are in a new age; we must have common sense enough to recognize it. Those things that are meant to be "for all ages" will endure. There will always be someone to guard them. It is for our generation, the youth of today, to provide the leadership, the wisdom, and the courage in a world that must be changed in order to survive.
The World and 1946
The world, free from war for the first time in six years, greeted the new year on a note of hope last week.
In many lands the celebrations were tempered by hunger, cold, sorrow, and strife left in the wake of marching armies.
In the great capitals of the United Nations throughout the world—Moscow, Paris, London, and Chungking wine flowed freely and toasts were drunk to friendships.
In Germany and Japan the day was observed with sobriety.
Berlin newspapers hailed the new year with hope that it would be a turning point for a "better Germany" while the Japanese heard their emperor admit in a new year rescript that he was not divine and inform them that they were not destined to rule the world.
Despite the problems which beset the world, messages of hope were voiced from many quarters.
Pope Pius XII, in an address to the papal guards, expressed optimism for the future—the optimism that was the keynote of nearly all
Rock Chalk Talk
Hanging over—Today is being a bit sudden after the holidays, so much of this stuff may be seeming to have a 1945 dateline. But since so many things (and people) are hanging over from something now post—why can't we use some hang-over copy?
By RODNEY MORRISON
Pick-Up Stuff—A cold morning on Mt. Oread and some Joe shivering across the campus whistling "Easter Parade." "A girl at the Chi O house haws voices in her sleep, they tell her to fluff out her hair more; so she removes the bobby pins, tousles her mop, puts the pins under a pillow and keeps sleeping. Before the holidays blocks of seats were reserved for K.U. women who went en masse to drolat Van.—The K.J. p.o. was so rushed right before vacation that the man at the window didn't have time to get detailed information on the scent, size, and price of the perfume you were sending Aunt Mabel.
Desperate—Earl "Howl" Crawford originated the following plan for getting a date.
War on Mt. Oread—If, per chance,
you fellows at Lindley are wondering
about new instructions in your
manual—forget it. It happened when
四 gals, strolling through your
residence, found the fellow at the
desk missing. It was they who
grabbed the manual and wrote—
along with the list of watch calls—
"0.800—sub off starboard bow."
Earl--May I speak to the most beautiful pledge in your pledge class?
She—This is she speaking.
Dean Claus. Santa, dropping in unexpectedly on a Watkins hall party, got quite a charge out of pajama and nightwear styles . . . after distributing presents and sticking around as long as good taste permitted, he left. Minutes later, he called the house and asked if someone would bring his gloves to the College office.
Earl—Are you busy tomorrow night?

Earl-I'll be over at 7. Who is this?

speeches that ushered in the new year.
In the United States homecomings and hangovers mingled with the shouts of Happy New Year. The celebrations that swept the nation were estimated as the biggest since the roaring 20's.
And now that everything, including the shouting, is over in the way of celebrations, the world must cling to that hope which was proclaimed in welcoming the new year to lay the foundations for a new world in which all nations may have many happy and prosperous new years.
rassed look on a French instructor's face the other day was due to the translation of an example sentence. In French it went something like "Il s'est habille comme un ours," which means, "He dressed like a bear" or "He dressed in bare form."
Quoting a Quote. Pope said, "You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come." Knock all you want around here, Bud, there ain't nobody to home.
Question of the week. Who said— You can always use an axe for a splitting headache?

More Apartments Available for Vets At Sunflower Village
About 30 veterans and their families are now living in apartments in the student "veterans village" area of Sunflower village near Lawrence.
Only about 10 of the veterans are enrolled in the University. The remainder have moved, to await the beginning of the spring semester Feb.11.
Veterans share rides to the campus which is about 15 miles from the village, or they ride the bus which makes four trips daily to Lawrence.
A total of 100 apartments, furnished and unfurnished, are available to K.U. student veterans in the central area, near the recreation and business district of the community, built during the war to house workers at the Sunflower Ordnance plant nearby.
