New One on Us
The St. Louis Star-Times has brought forth a new angle designed to cloud any issue that may be in doubt concerning the recent statement by John Chamberlain that President Roosevelt was aware of the imminent Pacific attack more than fifteen hours before its occurrence. That issue is not in question in these columns, however. We feel that, although the attack should have been prevented, and must not happen again, the question of blame is, if not dead one, at least dying.
The Star-Times, however, tries to prevent any reaching of a conclusion by publicizing the obvious fact that Roosevelt, "of course," knew the war was coming directly at us. Well, if he did not, he was unfit for high public office. The "benevolent leader" idea, however, is a little too Hitlerish to suit us; and if a new Japanese diplomatic code had only recently been cracked, proving the danger of an immediate attack, and, more important, the striking point, the fact that a great president is dead should not deter us from pointing the "accusing finger" at an appalling fact.
We are again in the midst of times that "try men's souls," but if students are seekers after truth, let us make sure that is what we get. even if it detracts from the glory of the dead.
Whistle - Stop
We hear by the grape-vine that students are grousing about the new whistle which was given to the University by an alumnus last May. A lot of them are saying that it can't be heard throughout the University area—particularly not in west Frank Strong hall. The old whistle could be heard at student rooming houses almost all over town. That was a distinct advantage, many students contend.
Now, we're not reactionaries, or anything like that, and we still think it was a magnificent gesture for a K.U. man to send a 200-pound steamboat whistle to Lawrence clear from Leghorn, Italy. But we would like to make the suggestion that if the results from the new whistle are definitely inferior to those from the old one (which was used for 22 years, by the way), we could add the German whistle to the War Mementoes collection which is being compiled by a faculty committee. This would preserve the spirit in which the whistle was given, and also the efficiency of class schedules. The Daily Kansan would welcome an expression of student opinion on the subject.
Rock Chalk Talk
What's in a Name?—By the end of the day of teas and rush week grind, Chi O president, Louise Hatch, was suffering from a rush week hang-over. She nonchallantly walked up to a guest in the house, Donna Sanders, and looked on the name card which had been pinned on Donna at the door. She had the intention of saying, "I see you are Donna Sanders." However, her tongue crossed her up and what came out was, "I am Donna Sanders."
By MARILYN STEINERT
"Oh, isn't that a coincidence!" said the girl. "That's my name too." Too weak for explanation, Louise commented on the weather, and made an exit.
Still No Books Dealers Lament

The Black Beauty—The Fijis are wondering if someone handed them a left-handed insult Monday night, seeming to indicate anyone riding in the car had to be up on his equestrian art of posting. When the Phi Gam's and their dates returned from a late snack, they found a large concrete post lying contentedly on the seat.
(continued from page one) in a small way, helped to meet the demand of the students for the books they cannot buy, he added.
Or Speaking of Names!—Another rusher, after "Howdying" guests all day met her Waterloo when introduced to Ruth Ann (Dunley) Dungren, G. d.gree. With the best of intentions she exclaimed, "Howdy Dudy!"
Mr. Baker added that because of the paper shortage many books that are needed are temporarily out of print, and it is uncertain when they will be available.

Books not now available at any of the three stores are as follows:

"Business Law," Lusk; Personnel Management," Yoder; "Government in the United States, Johnson; "A Critical Introduction to Ethics," Wheelwright; "College Logis," Castell; "College German," Evans & Roseler; "French Grammar," Carnahan; "General Psychology," Ruch; "Growth of European Civilization," Boak, Hyman & Slosson; "Basic Spanish," Barlow; "Hellenic History," Bothford; "Magazine Writing," Brennecke & Clark; "Organic Chemistry," Wertheim; "Marriage and the Family," Becker & Hill; "Outlines of Geology," Longwell, Knopf & Lint, and "College Physics," Mendenhall, Evve, Keys & Sutton.
Biography of a Picture—The other day when Elaine Thalman returned from Henley House, she found her room mate, Margaret Wenski, sprawled out on the bed with numerous volumes of photographic books and cameras everywhere.
Seeing her friend's flare for photography, Elaine remarked, "You should see that exquisite picture they have just acquired over at Henley House. I have never seen such an individual piece of art!"
Margaret rushed over to Henley and breathlessly asked Mary Wisner to see this unique picture they had received. Mary ushered Margaret into the room and pointed to a frame with tin foil neatly placed inside and calmly added, "Fog on Mt. Oread."
Upper Classmen on the Job—Along with the well equipped program for freshman orientation, the University might do well to work on an orientation program for seniors. Take the case of Alice Rose Shankland, Chi O, who, with another senior, attended a meeting during the first week and came home wondering why they had spent all evening giving class yells and singing the Alma Mater.
It seems "Shank" confused Frank Strong auditorium with Hoch auditorium and had attended the freshman convocation.
