Business Manager BETTY BEACH ... Advertising Manager In demanding the dissolution of Shintoism as a state religion in Japan, American authorities have not violated or abridged any principles set forth in the recent Potsdam ultimatum. Rather they will, by adhering to this demand, be taking an unprecedented step toward reform in Japan, where Shintoism has long held sway as an ignition spark to an often ugly Nipponese temperament. Jap Religion Through its inseparable connection with Jap nationalism and associated educational doctrines promoting it, Shintoism has become basic in its influences upon the Japanese character. This pseudo-religion has transgressed all religious restraint in its exaggerated exaltation of the state to a "place in the sun". It has created in the state an outlet for Japanese fanaticism, a characteristic inherent in those people and extremely susceptible to such stimulus as afforded by Shinto worship. Although not all Japanese are professed Shintoists, all are exposed to its influences in state-supported schools. It is the eradication of these conditions that is the immediate goal of the American officials in charge of re-education in Japan. In no sense do they intend ever to attempt an abolishment of the Shinto creed as a religion; rather they are insisting upon a dissociation of all such principles with the state, which must be founded on understanding instead of mass disillusionment. The world has borne witness to the effects of a bloated nationalism motivated by a religious stimulant. In Japan's defeat it has learned much. Religion as religion is a primary principle of peace and Shintoism in Japan will be honored as such, an instrument through which man can find his place beside other men—F.F. Leftist Hypocrisy The American communist party last week gave some amusing, if slightly inaccurate and unbalanced testimony, before a congressional investigating committee. The party's public relations chairman asserted that the Soviet Union, alone among the coalition known as the United Nations, was the true champion of freedom, and the true democratic state. Now, it is up to us to do our best to get along as well as possible with the Soviet Union. That duty does not entail the closing of our eyes against the human indecenties and Rock Chalk Talk They Cleaned Up At the eleventh hour the Watkins Hall freshmen, fired by aspiration, ambition, and upperclassmen, patterned over to scrub Carruth's front porch. Momentarily frightened by a flurry of bathbed, nightie-clad males scattering from the spirea bushes, they were spurred on by upperclassmen. They scrubbed to the tune of Volga Boattmen, and to the lyrics, "I'm a Freshman." En route home they dropped casually by Battenfeld. They scrubbed—the sidewalk. Home again, they were appraised, measured and judged by anatomy prof. Dr. Sacroliac (Virginia Van Order) and Senator Smoot from Yoot (Viiolet Conard), who with the aid of a bag of bones, a protractor, and a T-square, were searching for the perfect 36. They found it on Miss Argentine (Carolyn Crocker). What Happened? Elaine Sawyer, Miller hall, went with Dud Day, V-12, to a barn dance, PT-9, and came home with Bugs Bunny, one of the super-life-size caricature decorations. She says she almost got away with half a horse. Why. Don't You Know? ** Miss Meguiar, adviser of women, was acquaintin' the new residents of the Hearth, recently converted into a women's dorm, with the house rules. "Now in regard to smoking, I want you to be very careful where you put your —uh— what is the word?" Scab --violations of individual human freedom which have been perpetrated in the name of the state and communism in the Soviet. Beverly Good, Miller, kept her phone shift consciously last Friday while all the other operators were "resting." Allah, Allah! At the game Saturday, V. D. Swartz, Nu Sig, high in spirits, waxed eloquent with his applications for deliverance from our enemies during the critical moments of the game. *** Wanted, a pickup truck. Nothing smaller than a Chevrolet. Phone 860, ask for Lee. Because of constant phone calls pertaining to the above ad, "Lee" Four Will Attend Pharmacy Meeting Four faculty members from the School of Pharmacy will attend a "little convention" of the Kansas Pharmaceutical association at Ottawa tonight. Dean J. Allen Reese, Prof. L. D. Havenhill, Dr. D. C. Brodie, and Miss Frances Blair will hear an address by Mrs. Clara Miller, Topeka, state secretary of the association. Mrs. Miller recently returned from Chicago where she attended the national meeting of state secretaries. She will discuss legislation and other coming developments affecting the druggist. By GRACE PIROS The meeting is one of 16 conventions scheduled in October for various sections of Kansas. Representatives from Lawrence drugstores will also attend. One of the most recent estimates is that there are 20,000,000 people enjoying that "freedom" in the labor camps of Siberia. The fact is, that the Soviet Union is as totalitarian a state as has been seen in world history, and it is the duty of any true liberal to recognize the fact. Van Achen accused fellow-Corbinites Edith Boehmer, Barbara Barto, and Marguerite Kaaz, of instigating its appearance in the Journal-World. Later developments brought forth a flustered Edgar Lee, Corbin houseman, still without a truck. Don't They. Though? Lola Welch, Sigma Kappa, had as her guest recently her twin sister, Margaret, and early one morning she took her into the dorm to introduce her to the girls. "Stew" Stewart peered out of one eye at the two, turned back toward the wall, and muttered, "You two look enough alike to be twins." Design Department Displays Sculpture By Former Student A sculpture of an imaginative jungle cat, carved from a log found in the Netherlands East Indies by Sgt. Elden Tefft, former student in the University, is being exhibited this week by the department of design, Miss Marjorie Whitney, director, announced today. After finding the log on the beach, Sergeant Teft rolled it to his quarters and with a borrowed axe cut out a rough shape. The cat, named "Harriman" by Teft, was finally completed aboard ship. The sculpture is about 2 feet by 3 feet and is carved from dark brown wood. Sergeant Tefft was a student in the department of design from 1939 to 1942, studying art education and sculpture. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Tefft, 1333 Connecticut street, Lawrence, and is on a 30 day leave from Harrison General hospital, Long View, Texas. He has served more than three years in the army air corps, having participated in the campaigns of New Guinea, and the Philippines. Miss Fleeming Visits K.U.
