Advertising Manager Assistants: BONDE BORKERA, MARY BRAN- GAN, ANN REDING, ANNE SCOTT, SOLVIA *In Small, ELANGER THOMPSON* *In Charge This Issue* *Sylvia SMALL* You're Invited After the Olathe-K.U. game Friday night, 17 persons met at an organized house to discuss the influence of the atomic bomb on world relations, the establishment of a world federation, and the ways in which student groups could be a factor in building the new world and the peace which must accompany it. In the group were 15 students—some of them well-known on the campus, some of them virtually unknown, some campus leaders, some not—and a professor of political science and an astronomy professor. There was no special program or featured speaker. The group got together more or less spontaneously for a discussion which they hoped would lead to something that could represent the University of Kansas among world relation groups of other colleges and universities. When the heads of several campus organizations began receiving letters from student organizations at much less pretentious institutions of higher learning than our own, asking, 'What is your world relations group doing to contact student groups in foreign countries?'—'Do you have a world federation commission on your campus?'—or "What is your school doing in the way of learning about the influence of the atomic bomb?" some students began to wonder if we were so up and coming after all. You'd probably have more fun over a malt or a game of monopoly. And maybe your two-bits worth in a conversation over Kansas beer is more significant than a lot of small talk about world relations, anyway. While Rudolph Hess rises to accept full responsibility for his acts before the war crimes tribunal, civilized people are interested in how one man is going to pay for all those acts. The meeting Friday lasted over two hours—there were no refreshments. All in all, it wasn't very flashy. Nothing you'd want to write home about. Nothing that'd make your kid brother say, "Hot dog!—when I go to collitch!" At every pop rally the indecision with which students grope for the words of school songs would be humorous if it were not at the same time pathetic. Organized houses give their freshmen weekly assignments of fraternity, sorority, and dorm songs. Why couldn't "I'm a Jay Jay Jay Jay Hawk" be included in next week's lesson? The same group is meeting Friday night in the Union lounge. The meeting is open to everyone-you can go to listen, to contribute, or just to be going. More Bone Than Steak If Price Controls Are Ended —Cartoon from St. Louis Star-Times Journalism Grads Get New Positions New jobs in journalism have been taken by several graduates and former majors, records in the University department of journalism reveal. A well-known university president, not above a bright remark now and then, told several undergraduates that, while he was in favor of courses in sex hygiene and marriage technique, he doubted the advisability of offering them toward the bachelor's degree. Miss Elizabeth Baler, '45, is writing news broadcasts for the New York Daily News, morning tabloid newspaper with more than two million circulation. She had been working in the New York office of Newspaper Enterprise association, a feature syndicate. She was editor of the Daily Kansan last year. Stanley Stauffer, 42, has returned to the news staff of the Topeka State Journal after three years of service in the army air corps. Roscoe Born, a journalism student in 1940-41, is on the same paper, after military service. Both were managing editors of the Daily Kansan. Miss Kelma Smith, '45, is assistant editor of Household, a national magazine published in Topeka; she formerly was in the advertising department of Sears-Roebuck in Kansas City, Mo. William R. Hage, who entered the army in 1943, began news work for the Garden City Telegram the day after he reached home on terminal leave. He plans to enroll next semester to complete degree requirements in journalism. David Whitney, '42, has started work in the New York City office of United Press associations, after having served as a navy lieutenant aboard the U.S.S. Schroeder, a destroyer, in most of the Pacific campaigns. His wife, Betty West, '42, has been a script writer for Station KANS, Wichita. Both held executive positions on the Daily Kansan in 1941 and 1942; Mr. Whitney was a reporter on the Topeka Daily Capital before he entered the navy. Germany Is Alarming Liability, Not A Reparations Paying Asset By LOUISE F. KELLY United Press Staff Correspondent By LOUIS F. KEEMLE Defeated Germany has become an alarming liability to the Allies, rather than an asset from which reparations can be extracted That is the tenor of recent American and British official reports, urging action to prevent a physical and economic collapse in Germany this winter which would have a serious effect on the post-war recovery of all Central Europe. The latest of the American reports came from Byron Price who toured Germany as a special representative of President Truman and Lt. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, deputy American military governor in Germany, reporting in the absence of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Both warned of the possibility of starvation, lack of warmth and housing, and disease epidemics in Germany this winter. It is not a question of a "soft" or "hard" peace. It is the practical one of putting the Germans back to work so that they may not only be self-supporting, but contribute to the welfare of their neighbors Price implied that the United States should ship food into its occupied zone of Germany to prevent chaos this winter. Gen. Clay also presented a picture of extreme privation in Germany and neighboring countries. These reports are not startlingly new. Gen. Eisenhower and others sounded the warning in statements weeks ago. Ernest Bevin, British foreign secretary, told parliament late in October that Europe is faced by mass starvation this winter unless the allies can cooperate on a relief program. "Hunger and privation may bring further terrific loss to Europe more devastating than guns or even the atomic bomb." Bevin said. The root of the trouble is evidently the inability of the occupation powers to decide on a unified policy in Germany. Both the Clay and Price reports placed a large share of the blame on France for refusing to agree to a centralized government for the prostrate Reich. France considers the charge unfair. The French, who have been invaded by the Germans three times in 70 years, are determined to cement their security this time. A spokesman of the French foreign office was quoted in a United Press dispatch yesterday as saving: "All the Byron Prices in the world will never make us agree to putting the Saar, Ruhr or Rineland again under a central Berlin administration." The spokesman added that France, "in a spirit of conciliation, although reluctantly," might eventually agree to a central administration in Berlin, provided it did not have authority over the three key industrial regions.

Rock Chalk By JOAN HARRIS Bell and Co.-The Pi Phi maid just can't accustom herself to unusual nicknames around the house. When the phone rang recently she was requested to call a certain "Ace" Dillon. She shouted the name on first and second floors, but it was not until she was on third that a bevy of slightly shocked actives explained that "Ace" and all other male guests could always be found on the ground floor only. More Bells—Bill Quiring, Sig Alf, trekked over to the SK house Sunday at least 15 minutes before the gals had finished dinner. He was met at the door by a frosh who explained that Betty Sargent couldn't see him 'til desert was downed. Bill amused himself by answering the phone. One of the best calls he took was for Betty from a deep masculine voice. Bill glared at the phone and slyly said, "Sorry sir, Betty can't be called 'til dinner is over and then she'll be out." No Campus Cross The professor was being big about it—letting the students ask each other questions, a la radio quiz shows, instead of giving them a scheduled test. Then a future American negotiator in the class suggested the prof be master of ceremonies and give prizes to those who answered the questions; a la some other radio shows. For several years before the war, building and grounds electricians effected a lighting trick which made the usually formidable back of Watson library one of the best things about Christmas on the campus. blocking out some windows and lighting others they arranged a huge white cross which lighted the southern approach to the Hill. Those who had something to do with the cross in the past are already thinking they probably won't have time to "too with it" again this year. We seem to be a little slower up here about returning to Christmas decorations than the downtown citizens. - M.M. Marriage by Proxy — Preacher Nelle Claycomb had just pronounced Nancy Love and George Cox "balled and chained" in the marriage booth and suggested that the Phi Sigh boy could kiss his bride, when a strange fellow dashed in, swept Nancy into his arms, and kissed her thoroughly. The intruder proved to be Corky Baker, courtesy of Phi Delta Theta, who had been put up to tricks by the bride's sorority Round Town—Cathy Fillar and Cluck Ball played stand-in for a locomotive on the Kappa choo choo twain Saturday—"Cornie" Cornwell had fun announcing that "ezirp" spelled backwards was prize and it was going to Sandy Claus and the Thetas for their classy booth—Connie Waggoner perched on the SK piano to sing her version of the Lauren Bacall number at the traditional paddle party (all pledges coming clad in diapers). Drinkin' Again—The K.U. victory over Olathe was celebrated by Joy-cie Rule, Dewey Adsit, Elaine Thalman, and Paul Packard, who called at a local joint for three quarts—of milk. Tincly Topics—The class turned in their first list of ideas for feature articles. The prof was reading them to the class to see how they rated. Some of the suggested topics“What do you eat for breakfast, teacher, that makes you so bitter?”“What K.U. coeds wear in winter to keep them warm, and why not?”—and “Why is Odd Williams called Odd?”
