Kansan Comments Appraisal of Gain at Conference Is Obligation of Every American
With the San Francisco conference rapidly drawing to a close, it should be the duty of all citizens, of all political faiths, and, indeed, of all countries, to sit back calmly and appraise the results actually achieved. The tendency has been for Americans, and students in particular, to overestimate the delays, the ponderings over seemingly insignificant details, the compromises, and the failures, without giving due attention to the work produced in spite of these delays.
We should realize, as Professor Chubb so effectively pointed out in convocation, that a deliberative body of this sort necessarily operates along these lines. It does not follow that the document produced is of lesser value because of this procedure, and the fact is that argument, debate and compromise now are infinitely better than repudiations later.
Another point that isn't generally recognized is that because of the freedom of news releases from San Francisco, people have fired of daily reports of actions taken and progress made. The situation has been contrasted to the writing of the American constitution. The convention met behind closed doors, and the secret of the work going on was jealously guarded until the document was ready to be released.
That sort of news break is impossible from San Francisco, because all those intensely interested in the outcome are well prepared for it by having read the daily reports. The fact is, however, that many who have not kept up with the daily progress will be certainly interested enough to read the finished chapter, and, if the result is pleasing, will be as ready as the eighteenth century Americans were, to support the charter.
The time to worry about the Senate action is NOW. If Americans are well enough united in support of the organization, there should be no doubt of Senate approval. It is partly our job to see that such unity is achieved. The United States Congress, in spite of propaganda to the contrary, is a pretty representative body, and also fairly responsive to constituent opinion. It not only sounds undemocratic, but also is suggestive of the tail wagging the dog, to complain of a small minority having power to block approval, if acceptance is not widespread enough to form the requisite majority. The completed charter, after all, has yet to be seen—T. M.
House Votes Salary Increase for Itself, Federal Employees
LAWRENCE
TYPEWRITER EXCHANGE
A $50,994,481 legislative appor-
poration bill carrying a $2,500 expense allotment for each member of the house of representatives became a law today when it was signed by President Harry S. Truman.
The operation of this bill established by the legislature will begin for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
The Senate declined to vote a similar allotment for its members, and this bill is not applicable to the Senate.
After the House had voted approval of the $2,500 each for themselves last week, they also, by a vote of 317 to 26, approved a bill increasing the salaries of Federal civil service employees. This increase will total $750,000,000 or more a year. The increase for postal employees will total some $155,000,000 annually.

Little support was given Rep. Ed H. Rees, fourth Kansas, who led a hopeless fight to cut down the increase by $200,000,000. He wanted to postpone the full one and one-half overtime based on a 40-hour week until after the war, when it is intended to put government employees on the 40-hour week. Most departments are now on a 48-hour week. Rees wanted to base the overtime payments on the present basis for the duration.

Rock Chalk Talk
Shiela Stryker, Gamma Phi, was found Sunday night hanging by her neck in the basement of the house—at least that's the way it appeared to sisters who found her. In reality, she was hanging by her waist—and with the rope brought up around her neck to make it look authentic. Seems Shiela threatened to end it all by hanging if B. J. O'Neil wouldn't stay up and study with her. B. J. wouldn't so Shiela did.
By PEBBLE BEACH
Sara Marks, Delta Gamma, decided what with finals coming up she ought to start studying. Accordingly, she worked out an elaborate plan so she could get plenty of sleep and have more time to study than ever before. The schedule ran like this: go to bed right after dinner, sleep until everyone also goes to bed, and then get up to study the rest of the night. Sara was to get up when Doris Bixby came to bed. It didn't work though. Doris and a quiz and stayed up all night.

On same affair Mary Lou Sampson, Kappa, bawled Quigley out for calling a ball on her when the ball was way above her head. She was thinking of girls' rules.
On the Sigma Chi picneck Saturday afternoon Sigs decided to stand their dates in a rough and tuff game of baseball. Polly Staples, D. G., was assigned the task of pitching for the gals and Gordon Reynolds for the blue and gold. Neither one could hit the ball when it was their turn to bat.
Note: You're supposed to keep your eye on the ball, not the pitcher.

Audience Appreciates Moreland's Selection In Final Concert
The eleventh and final senior recital sponsored by the School of Fine Arts was presented by Leona Moreland in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall last night.
Favorite selections of the audience appeared to be the lively Scarlett song and "Per Pieta." Considered the dramatic high point of the evening was Schubert's "Young Nonne.』Equally liked was Miss Moreland's lieder group. "Der Tod, Das ist Die Kuhle Nacht" (Brahms); "Waldesgesprach" (Jensen); "Ein Traum" (Grieg); and "Die Junge Nonne" (Schubert).
Miss Moreland wore a grown with a flowered crepe bodice and appliqued skirt of marquisette, and an orchid. She received many flowers throughout her performance.
The English group consisted of, "The Answer" (Terry); "A Song for Lovers" (Taylor); "Tell Me, Oh Blue Blue Sky" (Giannini); and "The Cuckoo Clock" Grisell-Young). Her concluding number was "Sea Moods" (Tyson), a tangy British ballad.
Ushers for the recital were, Lillian Beck, Kay Townsend, Lora Smith and Norma Jean Lutz. Seventy-five guests attended the reception for Miss Morland in the Kansas room of the Union building after the recital.
