An American public overly optimistic and still on edge after the war's sudden cessation is beginning to realize with mounting anxiety that peace on the war fronts is not a forerunner of immediate international stability. This "morning after" sensation was manifested and exaggerated recently in the stalemated London Conference, where, it seemed to this country, hopeful expectations failed to mature, and and honest efforts were wasted in a maze of detailed but indefinite discussion. Frankly, Americans were disappointed.

Better to Wait
On the surface, it appeared that settling the big fuss on the battlefield had produced only another war-breeding case of maladjustment in the Big Three family. Well, the Big Three are having family troubles and they are learning fast that the settlement of those difficulties is no immediate and well-defined process.
The end of actual fighting solved no problems of lasting importance; rather, it accented the imperative need for a well-tempered understanding between the Allies. As forcefully shown in the London conference, this harmony of action cannot be evolved from the instability of the present, nor can it grow out of rushed and incomplete compromise on issues which must be settled on a solid basis of accord if they are to endure.
On such a shaky footing did the London parley meet. Its outset found Allied policy still indefinite and inadequate, affording the conferences no basis for the international action which could and should be expected from such a conference under reasonable circumstances. With the expectant eyes of the world focused on them, the delegates rushed into the analysis of matters which have not yet produced sufficient trends in any direction to warrant final judgement.
In this interim of general domestic turmoil, political unrest, and the groping search for a return to normalcy, the forwarding of recuperative processes should be the immediate objective. World-charting blueprints, such as those considered at London, must wait until they can be approached by a rational world.
In any event, we must not concede all hopes as lost in the frantic game of international politics. A permanent solution to problems usually develops logically after a period of composed contemplation; furthermore, perspective, another valuable component of peace formulas, is acquired through long-run thinking. The London fracas can be marked off as only a valuable lesson to all, not as a failure. It achieved a purpose. F. F.
In view of this, maybe the delay at London achieved a purpose. Possibly there was a well-founded motive behind the stalling of the impassive Russian, Molotov, who surely realizes that Russia and the world could profit by more time between acts.
Rock Chalk Talk
By MARILYN STEINERT
Take the Good With the Bad -We hear that Charlie Moffett, Delta Tau Delta, is keeping up his normal pace on the West coast. It seems that Charlie and a bunch of his buddies were watching Earl Carroll's Vanities at the camp and after the floor show several of the service men, including Charlie, were asked to help the chorus girls dance the hula. To their dismay, they were "forced" to kiss the chorus girls afterward. Keep up the good work, Charlie!
Just One of Those Things—After one of the Mid-Weeks, Don Flicker and Ann Scott, Theta, went to what they thought would be a less crowded rendezvous, the Hawk. Quite a few people had the same notion. Finding his idea was wrong Don said in a very disgusted tone, "I wish the hawk would lay an egg and have some little hawks!"
***
Lost!-We admit there is a lot of excitement going on during a walk-in but this is going too far. Mary Pat Yingling, Theta aple, became so excited when the group walked in that she jumped out of the car
she was in and ran up to the house. To her surprise she had no shoes on. While running up to the house she had walked out of her shoes, and still cannot find them.
Letters to the Editor
The Name's the Thing—During rush week a Gamma Phi active was looking over the name tags, pinned on the rushees as they entered the house. One of the Gamma Phi's addressed a girl, with a name tag on of Normie, by mixing it all up and coming out with "Know me." The rushee was taken by surprise but calmly replied, "No, but I'd like to."

The Daily Kansan
Mistaken Identity—At a meeting of the Student Council, which is mostly composed of girls, Tuesday night, the members were asked to rush through their meeting so that another meeting could begin promptly at 8 o'clock. About 7:55 two sailors came hurriedly walking in and stood there stumped, to say the least. Finally one of them boldly remarked, "I guess this isn't the Inter-Fraternity meeting!"
Mr. DeMott, and other who would clear themselves of their responsibility to their government by lamenting the incompetence of the students whom they themselves put in office, should examine themselves for signs of infantilism.
A few more signs of adulthood and a little positive support on the part of the student body and the daily publication of the University
Dear Editor:
One of Mr. DeMott's questions, which he left unanswered, was "Does the student governing body lack support?" The answer is an emphatic YES! Has Mr. DeMott, and many others like him, bothered to inform himself of what is currently before the council, and offered any constructive suggestions as to the way he thinks certain problems of the rank and file of the student body should be settled? His district has several representatives, of whom the writer is one, who would be glad to present any constructive ideas he may have before the Council. Has he ever visited a Council meeting?
Mr. DeMott, whose letter appeared in Tuesday's Daily Kansan, expressed his disgust for the "infantile antics" of the student governing body. That governing body is made up of representatives from the "rank and file" of the student body, elected by that body (that is, by those who concerned themselves enough to vote, and we trust Mr. DeMott was one). We wonder which of the "childish" representatives to the ASC Mr. Demott helped to elect.
Vets 'Guided' By K.U. Bureau
Through plans made by the Veterans administration in Kansas City, Mo., two or three veterans are sent to the guidance bureau daily to receive vocational guidance, Dr. A. H. Turney, director of the bureau, explained today.
If a veteran seeks education under Public Law 16, he is required to have the vocational guidance bureau counsel. If the veteran is under Public Law 346, obtaining vocational advice is optional.
"Our bureau is on a definite functional basis now," Dr. Turney said. "These veterans are sent to us from 10 northeast Kansas counties.
would accomplish much toward maturing the actions of the ASC.
Sincerely,
Helen Howe
Editor's note: Miss Howe's remark in the last paragraph illustrates exactly, however, what the Daily Kansan was fighting for last week; that is, the right to sit in on Council meetings, and report what takes place to the student body, instead of waiting for two or three weeks while the ASC decides what it wants to tell. We honestly feel that the Daily Kansan last week did much toward "maturing the actions of the ASC" by insisting that its every action was open to publication.
