Kansan Open Letters
Dear Pierre Laval:
it would have been so much easier to make the "V" for victory sign, being shot as a patriot, than it will be to make "F" for fuerherr, or "R" for reich, being shot as a traitor.
THE DAILY KANSAN
Dear Mr. Bayles;
Thanks, much thanks, for restoration of the old whistle. And it's American.
THE DAILY KANSAN
Dear Professor Sandelius:
You and your committee did excellent work, and lots of it, in planning for the Western Civilization course. Thank you.
THE DAILY KANSAN
Dear Miss Hoopes:
Couldn't you get the young lady to move from between you and the handsome lieutenant, out on the south hill steps?
THE DAILY KANSAN
Dear Avenuisances:
Two abreast on sidewalks should be the maximum, particularly those to and from the library, which are the busiest. Four or five walking together indicates both rudness and selfishness.
THE DAILY KANSAN
Dear Dr. Robert Taft:
Your "Across the Years on Mt. Oread" still is the best campus history we know. Thanks.

Letters to the Editor
The Daily Kansan Dear Editor
Last Saturday, a businessman from a small Kansas town drove 135 miles to Lawrehe, paid $9 for tickets for himself and three companions, to see the Iowa State-Kansas game.
Dear Editor:
He and his party went early to the stadium, to obtain good seats, to see the game.
They sat near the 50-yard line. Then the Jay James and Ku Kui's came in to occupy the seats held for them, and when the game started, they started standing up.
The visitor's party was behind them, so were unable to see many interesting plays made by the teams.
Before the next game, might I suggest a remedy for such manners? Seat this group on a side of the stadium unoccupied by guests, or give these rude students a book of etiquette to read.
Sincerely, A Visitor
BY GEORGE CALDWELL
Blue Wednesday (or was it Thursday?) No doubt the freshmen of Carnrith Hall felt a little blue upon being rudely hustled out of bed in the middle of the night a week ago Wednesday. At least they probably had a few doubts as to whether it was a red hot idea to be blindfolded and marched around the campus at that hour.
But they seemed willing to forget those doubts for the moment. After all, doesn't everyone have to be initiated sometime? So, like stalwart Kansas bluebloods, they braved successfully their nocturnal jaundit into the wild blue yonder. Now they have behind them an important step towards membership in the true-blue brotherhood of Carruth.
Blue Boy. There was one little Carruth man whom you wouldn't call Blue Boy because of any posing for a famous portrait by Gainsborough; nor would you call him Boy Blue for being asleep in the hay. But you might justifiably have termed him a blue boy on the blue Wednesday of the Carruth initiation.
This blue boy didn't want to march into the midnight blue; he wanted instead to sleep in his own cozy little bed. So the initiation proceeded without him. However, when his brother freshmen returned from their initiation journey, they promptly went into action, performing a feat that made this Blue Boy a real blue boy. The other freshmen gleefully dressed in a tub of icy midnight water and watched him turn various shades of indigo.
Shenk Says Ichabods Will Be Tough Foe
Blues In The Night. This column is willing to wager that the flesh of certain people wasn't all that took on a blue tinge in the Battenfeld sleeping dorm Thursday morning. It's a good bet that the air also turned slightly blue from words employed by the Battenfelders when they arose that cold and windy morn. Why? The boys evidently were both uncomfortable and unhappy because all their bedroom slippers were mysteriously missing from the sleeping dorm.
It seems that the Carruth freshmen, eagerly participating in a scavenger hunt as part of their initiation, had crept into the Battenfeld dorm in the wee hours Wednesday night, removed all the bedroom slippers, and carefully distributed them in sundry places downstairs.
By HENRY SHENK Head Football Coach
Raymond M. Nichols, College sophomore, Phillipsburg; and Conrad E. Miller, College junior, Salina; received minor lacerations and bruises early today in an automobile collision north of Lawrence.
They Once Blew Blue. The men of Jayhawk Co-op are aware that bluing is helpful in laundering for obtaining a finish on a white shirt that begets the approval of society. However, the same men are not so positive that words and phrases tending to turn the ozone blue are helpful in obtaining a finish on personality that begets the approval of respectable society. So, to make the air a little less blue, the men have placed a fine on every piece of profanity used in the wrong place at the wrong time. The rapidly swelling proceeds are expected to finance a gala party sometime in the future.
Tonight we meet our ancient foe Washburn.
The Ichabods have one of the best teams in years and will present the hardest running attack that K.U. has faced this season. Washburn, which uses both the single wing and double wingback formations, has a fine assortment of plays from each. In addition they will be keyed to the limit in this their last game of the season.
This will be the first game this season in which the Kansas team will not be outweighed. The two teams are approximately equal in weight. If the Kansas line, aided by the smooth working of the backfield, can stay the hard-charging Washburn men, Kansas will win. But it will be a hard fought, close contest.
Miller was given first aid at Lawrence Memorial hospital. Nichols was admitted to Watkins Memorial hospital; his condition is not serious. Both men are members of Sigma Chi fraternity, 1245 West Campus.

TWO years before Pearl Harbor the Government asked Bell Telephone Laboratories to help perfect radar as a military instrument. The Bell System, through the Western Electric Company, its manufacturing branch, became the nation's largest supplier of radar systems.
50,000 RADARS
Bell scientists designed and developed many different types of radars—each for a specific job. One particular type was standard for B-29s in the Pacific for navigation, target location and high altitude bombing. Another directed all Navy guns over five inches.
This is not surprising, for radar development and production stem from the same roots that produced and continue to nourish this country's telephone system.
