The court which on Oct. 9 handed down its condemnation of Pierre Laval was so incompetent, so permeated with the sense of guilt which fills all France today, that it unwittingly permitted Laval to die a martyr's death—a martyr to the cause of democratic justice which the political hypocrites of republican France have always professed, yet seldom practiced. The obvious and vocal prejudice of Mongibaeaux, the vile epithets hurled at the implacable Laval by the "citizen" jurors all testified to the fantastic travesty on justice. It is not argued that the fate which Laval met is unjustified, for he was a traitor in the eyes of his countrymen. But this man, condemned by his people to die a traitor's death, personified much that is typical of republican France. He epitomized the excessive individualism of the modern Frenchman, placing his personal advantage before his country's welfare. He represented, indeed he was a leader of, those men of mean capacity who have attempted to break with the glorious traditions of the France of yesterday, thinking only in terms of the political expediency of the moment, and refusing to recognize that a nation's greatness can be assured only by a recognition of its past and an anticipation of its future. Possibly history will judge Laval as a traitor because his policy of rapprochement with Germany led to the degradation of France. Possibly he will be hated for the cynical nature of his pre-war politics, but regardless of these considerations, we can but pause for a moment to consider the rise and waning of this man among many men, this Pierre Laval, sometime provincial lawyer, sometime premier of France, and subsequently the genius of a nation's sorrow—O.R. A traditional pre-war homecoming celebration is being planned this year. The war is over, and college life is reverting to normal. But among those students whose constant complaint has been, "If only I could have gone to school during normal times," how many will fail to participate in the homecoming festivities? Rock Chalk Talk By MARILYN STEINERT Advice About Low Red Points—If anyone runs short on red points, just ask the Sig Alfs what to do. They had trouble last week and wondered when they would ever see meat again. Going primitive, they all went hunting. For Sunday dinner, they ate meat again. They had killed eight squirrels and four rabbits. *** Stinky-Just ask Art Hoffman, Phi Gam, if you wonder what perfume is best to buy a girl. Art had the best intentions when he went to buy his sister a birthday present. When he re-entered the Phi Gam house he smelled like Chanel No. 5, Dangerous, Tigress and a few other fragrances combined, thus the new name, "Taboo" Hoffman. \* \* \* Blackout—Don't be surprised at what the Phi Gams are wearing this week, or if there is wax covering their attire. Something has gone haywire with the lighting system BARS and STRIPES News of K.U. Men in Service and the boys are using candles to light the way. Lt. Victor Rink, a junior at the University in 1942, spent the past week in Lawrence visiting his sister, Lorna, College freshman. He has been with squadron VF47 in the Pacific theater nearly a year. He will return to Chicago as an instructor in flying. Maj. Domenico Gagliardo, on leave from the School of Business, has been made acting chief of the civilian branch of the personnel division in the office of the Quartermaster general, Washington, D.C. He formerly was chief of manpower in civilian personnel. Lt. Victor Rink Visits Campus Novelty—Johnny Beach, TKE, has lost his white coveralls and wants them back. Johnny explained, "I like to walk out when the band is playing someplace wearing my white coverals, and just before we start to play, I like to take them off and surprise everyone by having on a suit, too!" Lt. Rink majored in chemical engineering and was a member of Alpha Chi Sigma fraternity. Major Gagliardo enlisted in January, 1943, and has been stationed in Washington. Mrs. Gagliardo lives in Lawrence. *** Old Timers—Jack Greer, Phil Dhi, was double-dating with Sid Gil- christ, who is transferring from the Washburn V-12 to K.U., and Nancy Slater. Kappa. Jack commented on how nice it was that Sid would be on the hill soon. Without further ado Jack turned to Nancy and asked, "Why don't you come to K.U." It just happens that it is not only Nancy's second year at K.U. but that Jack sits two seats from her in geology class. Major T. C. Reid, recently appointed director of Vocational Rehabilitation and Education for the Veterans of Foreign Wars, is not a stranger to the University. Major Reid was graduated from the School of Engineering and Architecture in 1921, with a major in mining engineering. He was business manager of the Maryville, Mo., State Teachers college when he entered the service. With the army for three years, Major Reid's most recent assignment was that of post engineer at the army air field, Great Bend. \* \* \* ** ** Pfc.
