ANNE SCOTT Behind It All Sharing top billing with industrial disputes on the current national scene is the Pearl Harbor inquiry, supposedly designed to place responsibility for the American errors contributing to the disaster. It is obvious today that the investigation is being influenced from many angles by powerful interests, who seek not to reveal the truth but to create such public impressions of the Pearl Harbor debacle as will further their own selfish policies. The emergence of a factional political trial such a public examination as the Pearl Harbor inquiry is not surprising, but it is necessary that the public be aware of the possible surface effects of this situation and evaluate them carefully. Apparently, the proceedings in Washington are developing on two levels—that involving the apportioning of actual blame, and the plane of inquiry on which the very basis and intent of our war with Japan is being questioned. It is on this latter level that the more dangerous implications of misleading information should be recognized. Irresponsible minorities in the U.S. press, plus Republican and Democratic lobbies primarily set upon inflicting damage to each other through the investigation, have rendered impartial fact-finding difficult. An undercurrent of emotion being stimulated by these prejudices has played its part in the growing disillusionment. So the drama in Washington is rapidly losing sight of its established purpose through the adverse actions of certain parties, intent upon laying the blame where it will promote their own interests or goading the American people into assuming that their participation in the war was a mistake. Americans desiring the unabridged truth must keep in mind these difficulties now blocking complete revelation of the facts behind Pearl Harbor.-F.F. Last year a K.U. professor said that college was characterized by fraternities, football, and funny papers. Within six years the University of Chicago, more heaped on education than college, has banned football and fraternities. Funny papers haven't given much trouble. A survey of the bottoms of the theater seats indicates that the chewing gum shortage is over. Letters to the Editor Scenic Drive—'Beautiful But Not Practical' University Daily Kansan To the Editor: The beauty of the proposed memorial drive probably shouldn't be questioned; but, on the face of it, the practicality of the plan should be examined carefully. Pike's peak would look nice between Lawrence and Topeka—and it would make a nice memorial; but it is impractical to move Pike's peak. The memorial drive might add beauty to the campus—and it would probably be all right as a memorial; but it doesn't add to the physical teaching facilities of the University. In the first place, the present buildings of the University are not architecturally designed to be approached from the hind side. In the second place, the present drive serves its purpose well—furnishing a quick and easily accessible approach to every building. In the third place, the apparent cost of the memorial drive makes it a luxury that the University can ill afford at this time. There are many other necessities that are now needed, expenditures for luxuries seem like sheer foolishness. Wouldn't a new chemistry building or physics building be a wiser investment of the memorial fund? Is it fair to tomorrow's scientists to train them in 1900-model laboratories, while a few aesthetic-minded individuals gaze at the alley-side of the buildings from a paved road? A friend of the University University Daily Kansan Dear Editor: Why Not a Bowl Game At K.U., Student Asks With sports followers and scribes bickering all over the state as to which high school team is tops, what better way could this argument be decided than to have a play-off or post-season game in the fine University of Kansas stadium? It would definitely be a paying proposition. This game would be an incentive to every team in the state to give its very all in the season play. This type of game would also end the habitual post-season arguments and would aid sports officials in getting a line on all-state team selections. Such a post-season game would introduce many of the state's best athletes to the sports layout here on Mount Oread. They would get an actual chance to test the firm footing of the K.U. gridiron. Besides the athletes themselves, other prospective students would be present on the campus. The Buildings and Grounds commission is repairing the ceiling of the women's lounge in the Union. Water from steam tables in the ballroom soaked the ceiling and caused the plaster to fall Thanksgiving day. In other words, this attraction could be a colossal promotion idea for K.U. and Kansas athletes' in general. Texas has such a playoff. Maybe such a sports extravaganza would have the effect of putting Kansas football at the top of the heap with Texas—R.R.M. A specimen of the cotton rat believed to be in the most northerly range of its habitat was trapped near Muscotah by Dr. A. B. Leonard, associate professor of zoology, and his students, last week. The two-day field trip to the marsh was made primarily to study mice called microtines. Dr. Leonard, Students, Trap North-Bound Cotton Rat Repair Women's Lounge Everett W. Jameson, Jr., and Henry W. Setzer, graduate students, worked with Dr. Leonard. One-third of all the people in Ulster live in Belfast. Rock Chalk Talk WHATTA GAME, WHATTA GAME During the friendly encounter which we had with Missouri over the weekend, Alberta Cornwell was giving orders to Joan Woodward about the next cheer. "Let's yell Fight Team Fight, Woody," she said. She was soon helped out with the cheer by an old grad who was high in school spirit-or just high. He leaped to his feet and yelled, "Fight team fight Woody, Fight team fight Woody." By KEITH WILSON It was a little bit crowded where we were sitting. Every time the lady next to us took a deep breath, three people fell off the end of the bleachers. The traffic was thick after the game, too. We heard one man wall after driving home. "Anybody want to buy a tall, thin Buick?" Later that night most of MUJ gathered in the Plaza Royale. The thing that we enjoy about football games is that they are so friendly and conducive to good sportsmanship. As we left the stadium we overheard this conversation: Are you from Missouri? No, a horse stepped in my face. 3. If the occupation zones are to be merged and Germany placed under a central administration, there must be clearly-defined limits beyond which the central authority shall not extend. France therefore is sticking by three main demands in the present situation, and has temporarily sidetracking efforts of the other occupying powers to re-constitute Germany as an economic and political whole. France has her fourth republic; she is adamant against a fourth Reich. 1. The Rühr, which is the heart of Germany's industrial and warmaking power, shall be placed under international control. Since decisions of the four-power control council in Germany must be unanimous, France so far has blocked successfully the efforts of the other powers to unify the administration. The treaty of Versailles was intended by the old tiger, Clemenceau, to insure that it would not happen again. He did not live to see it, but other Frenchmen watched the treaty torn to pieces and France overrun in an invasion that dwarfed the other two. Pres. Charles De Gaulle is determined against a repitition. 2. The Rhineland, compromising areas on both sides of the great river, shall be made a separate state—presumably subject to French influence if not control. The three points insisted on by France are: French Opposition to Government In Germany Makes Things Touchy DeGaule also made it clear in his statement of policy to the constituent assembly last week that France By LOUIS F. KEEMLE (United Press Staff Analyst) Kekeris rose to his feet (what an effort) and led the mob in singing Missouri songs. He kept time to the music by beating his head into the wall. As the crowd reached the third verse of "Missouri, Missouri, how I love thee, Fairest Flower," they were interrupted by Bunny Lawler who led six valient Jay-hawkers in roaring out a "Rock Chalks, thus saving the day for our side. All in all, however, it was a great game, especially from where we sat. here is a worm's eye view of how he game looked to us: French opposition to the establishment of a centralized government for Germany has created a touchy situation among the four powers administering the defeated Reich. "Bertuzzi snagged the ball out of the air just as it was about to be intercepted by the feather on the hat of the lady in front of us. He then starts a line drive down the arm of the gentleman to our left. He is blotted out for a moment by a passing coke bottle but emerges safely to the left of a hot dog. It looks like he is away. But no, Jim Kekeris suddenly emerges from under an uplifted bottle of Seagram's Five Crown and after defly sideesteping a poised handkerchief, he tackles Bertuzzi on top of a plaid muffler. The crowd goes wild France plainly would like a dismembered Germany, one that would never rise again as a central European power, although there has been no official utterance as bald as that. Nevertheless, France has been thoroughly disillusioned about Germany. She has been invaded by the Germans three times in the 70 years between 1870 and 1940. WHATTA GAME! WHATTA GAM will not consent to any further international arrangements in Europe on which she has not been consulted on an equal footing with the other powers. De Gaulle's stand means that France will have to be persuaded, not coerced, in the matter of Germany.
