Kansan Comments Students Who Do Not Participate In Conference Fall Short of Duty
Who would even have dared to imagine that the students would lose interest in securing world peace? Many have! Last week it was announced that 15 houses had failed to take part in next fall's mock world peace conference at the University. Fifteen houses do not care to participate in a problem more important than any issue which has ever faced the entire world.
The administration and the Y. W. C. A. are giving full co-operation to the now famous Americans United organization which is providing plans for the conference. Here is a chance to become informed—to walk clearly, by full knowledge of the issues involved, down a road to peace, where the last generation stumbled blindly, fell, and failed.
We, the students of the University of Kansas, and this means each and every student, hold in our hands the trust of every boy that has been and is fighting for us. Participating whole-heartedly in the mock world peace conference is the best thing we can do to find out what our future has in store—to making possible a real peace.
Everyone can participate in the conference. Participation means conscientiously studying a country that will be represented at the conference, so that we can become better acquainted with the actual interests of those countries involved in planning world peace. Each organized house is allowed to study the country of its choice and is represented by a permanent delegate at the special conference meetings.
Students who are not members of an organized house should review the list, choose a country to study, then ask to aid members of the house which is studying the corresponding country. At the same time, members of organized houses should extend an invitation to independent students who do not live
in organized houses to feel free to join them in their study for world peace.
The mock world peace conference isn't an extra-curricular activity; it's part of your life—it's big! Take on your responsibility of participating immediately before you betray your sacred trust to your country and to those who fight for it. J. V.

Rock Chalk Talk
By PAT MAXWELL
The initiation of the younger "Batts" followed the usual lines, involving heavy paddling and autographed pink lace (pants, this time). Frosh were put to bed at 1 a.m., yanked out 15 minutes later. After crawling downstairs, clad only in their pink lace, underclassmen were led outside by the "old boys," who proceeded to shock their young friends with hot electric wiring.
In the confusion that resulted from the Battenfeld freshman initiation Sunday morning, Stew Lambers, non-initiate, misplaced his razor. In a heart-rending plea to devilish underclassmen, Stew tacked a sign on the bulletin board advertising his loss which read, "Please return razor—will need in another month." Of course he's just bragging.
Blindfolded, the initiates were led over to Miller where they were to serenade and pray for rain. Due to a misunderstanding, Miller girls turned on the hose in the middle of "Let Me Call You Sweetheart."
"You don't get down off an elephant, you get down off a duck." And people say it's chem that's hard to take.
Next morning (or rather, when the dawn came) there stood the statue of Jimmy Green—veiled, and was his face pink! (... lace?)
Dr. Davidson, chemistry, evidently has been saving jokes all semester, realizing that he gets a bigger laugh as the end draws near. Lately he's been cracking some to his Chem II lecture class. Example: Dr. Davidson says, "How do you get down off an elephant?"

Just ask the surveying class for Betty June Craig's complete measurements! Chi O Craig was strolling blithe across the campus the other day, completely unaware that the group of students stationed around were taking a surveying final. One overly-ambitious surveyor squinted through his apparatus, and surveying what had just walked by, yelled, ankle 5", hips 34", waist 24" and so on.
Locksley hall, home of the late Hemidemisemiquaver, seems to be overflowing with turtles since Hemi's obituary notice appeared in Rock Chalk two weeks ago. On Sunday morning following, early risers were greeted by a huge turtle, wearing a ribbon and a note around his neck. The monster, Hemi's moma, was a
