Kansan Comments War Memorial Should Be Chosen On Basis of Educational Benefits
A committee is at work to choose a suitable war memorial for the University. It is considering a number of suggestions, among them a memorial driveway, an addition to the Memorial Union building, a field house, a swimming pool, a carillon, and a group of new scholarships.
The primary function of K. U. as of any university, is its function as an educational institution. This is a point which the committee must keep in mind in making its choice. The war memorial should be something which will contribute to that phase of the University's activity which is most important.
Any number of things could be done to enhance for social activity, but the mere fact that there is money to be spent for a memorial does not mean that the committee must fall in with the traditional conception of what a war memorial should be. For example, the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City is now regarded by many Kansas citizens as a colossal waste of money, for it does not seem to contribute materially to the life of the city.
Another basis on which the memorial might be chosen is how many students would be effected by it. For example, if the number of students eating in the Union Building is greater than the number with cars, the Union building addition should be chosen rather than the memorial driveway. This may or may not be a justifiable criterion.
The important thing—the most important—is that the war memorial be something which will in the future add something materially to the educational life of the campus and to the lives of the students. If the committee makes its selection on this basis, it can receive no complaints—N. W.

STUDENT----
(continued from page two) when speeches from the Governor and the welcoming committee gave him high acclaim.
Omar Bradley still has the same shy, humble ways his classmates remember, even though he has been honored by royalty," they say. And they also find that he still has his quiet sense of humor.
"Let's take down our hair," he grinned, and brushed his partially bald head, "and talk over old times." Attends Class Remunion
At his 1910 class reunion there was a call for each member to give changes in address and title or name.
"Omar Bradley, still Omar Bradley," he stated slyly when his turn came, "address, Gelsenkirchen, Germany."
His greatest admirers and those most in awe of him were the grade school boys. Fifty or more of them hung by his side staring at the four silver stars. The General took time to give them the autographs they begged for.
His friends say you can't hurry Omar. When the welcoming committee tried to rush him through the crowd after his speech at the park the General ignored them and stopped to speak with everyone and shook the many hands reaching out to him.
Moberly's B-Day is over but will never be forgotten, for their hero's return was the biggest event in the town's history. Their General has gone back to Europe to do a two months job, and then will return to be head of the Veterans administration.

Last week, Mr. Buchler's extem class; which was studying microphone speaking, put on a little radio program. Orville Roberts, star debater, was master of ceremonies, and he began the program with the surprise announcement, "Eat Hokey Pokey ice cream—freeze your teeth and give your tongue a sleigh ride." As the program progressed talks ranged from Lee Baker's rendition of Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address" to "Gee-Gee" Davis's excerpts from the K. U. favorite, "Barefoot Boy With Cheek."
"Real life drama"—(She) "You brute, you've ruined everything I had saved for a rainy day." (He) "Gee, honey, I'm sorry I broke the umbrella."
In the middle of the program, the audience was dealt a low blow. Joe Bukaty, Sigma Chi, rose to speak and found that "to due to atmospheric conditions" all he could utter was a shrill squeak.
Orville kept the radio audience in an uproar at commercial time with "Hokey Pokey brings you variety."
"Weather report—Thursday, showers; Friday, showers; Saturday, no soap."
Orville's concluding remark: "Buy war bonds and beat the Jap; buy Hokey Pokey and freeze your yap."
"Market reports—Flash! Consolidated suspenders have broken. Amalgamated pants have slipped!"
"Better late than never" is the motte of Bobbie Thiele, DG, and Tommy Clark, West Pointer. When they arrived at the DG house last Friday night for their pinning, they found dinner was over and everyone had gone upstairs. With undaunted determination, the two felt that the show had to go on. They called the audience back to the dining room, and proceeded as scheduled.
"Is everybody here?" Gordon Reynolds wanted to know last Saturday night when the Signa Chis and dates were ready to start home from their picnic. Heads were counted in the moving van hired for the occasion, and it was discovered that Janet Sue Hobart, Pi Phi freshman, and Clyde Morrison, M. U. SIGma Chi, were missing. In a quiet and determined voice, Gordon volunteered. "I'll find them."

And he did, too—playing tit-tattoe.
Okay, I don't believe it either.

Contrary to the usual run of things at K. U., the army (West Point, too) has taken over the campus. Despite the attractiveness of K. U.'s 300 V-I2', four army "A" pins went out on the campus this weekend. The new cadet sweet-hearts are Lettie Gibbs, Gamma Phi, Bobbie Thiele, DG, Barbara Prier and Sara Jayne Scott, PhI Phis.
