Peace in Europe Is Assured Only By Efficient Rule
With victory in Europe and all eyes turned toward the Pacific, problems concerning the occupation of Germany and other liberated areas seem to be forgotten. We apparently take for granted that the end of the war in Europe meant the end of all Nazi activities, that our strict military rule in occupied areas would check all uprisings that might threaten our敢win peace.
In Salzburg, Austria, three different military government teams have operated since the city's capture May 4. The original team which was trained for the area still has not arrived, and none of the fluctuating teams have been able to cope with the problems created by the Nazis' burning of all the city records and food rationing files. They also are faced with controlling the bands of fanatical Nazis who have taken to the mountains with food and arms. Already there is evidence that the activities of the Nazi underground are in full swing.
It is embarrassing to compare the records of American occupation in Austria with that of Russia. Weeks ago Russia established a national government in Vienna with the possible result that Germans and Austrians may have gained a new respect for Russians whose speed and order were more admirable than the dawdling actions taken by Britain and the United States. The Americans have occupied Austria for three weeks and offer only confusion instead of any long-range plans or clear-cut programs.
The first numbing effects of violent war are wearing off and Austria must soon know what is planned for her future. Austrians will want to know what part they are to play in their immediate government and how they may as a nation become independent once again.
Unless we are to sit idly by while the enemy regains his hold in European soil, we must follow up our victory with well-directed administration. The war is not won in Europe. Many potential sources of war are yet to be destroyed. Coordinating our occupational governments with those of the Russians by a firm, coherent, policy would be a step in the right direction.-J.V.

University Daily Kansan:
In his recent criticism of the library, T. M. mentions two cases of alleged unfair fines. Since he gives no names the Library is unable to reply to these charges. It is possible that T.M. has heard only the students' side. If the aggrieved parties will call on the Director he will be willing to review their cases.
The library has all the expense labor, and headache of collecting fines to encourage the prompt return of books for the benefit of other students but the money collected goes to the General Fees fund of the University. Only money to replace lost books is credited to the library.
As for the regular staff, for the most of the school year this library has been obliged to operate with two positions unfilled and those duties spread over other librarians.
The student assistant problem has been far more difficult. A few figures must suffice to set it forth. In the year 1939 the library appointed 27 new assistants. From July 1, 1944 to June 1, 1945 90 persons were hired. In the same period 52 stopped work, some after less than a week. In May, eight quit. Of the assistants on the five circulation desks, one third have been hired since March 1.
Sickness and social obligations have greatly increased absences. In one week in May, five assistants at one desk failed to report for duty.
It is never possible to predict the student use of the library; this depends on class assignments, weather conditions, campus activities, and the nearness of examinations. On Thursday afternoon one week the demands will be heavy; on the following week only a few students will appear. The library has tried to staff for the load and it has had difficulty finding assistants who can work at hours that usually are busy.
The war has affected the library both in its purchase of books and in its maintenance of service. The wonder is that in spite of present conditions it has been able to continue giving 14 hours a day service to the students.

Rock Chalk Talk

Freshman Farce Day was hele yesterday with Pi Phil freshmen, the only contestants, taking all honors (if they may be called honors.) The dear little fresh tripped merrily over the campus serenading as they went. The Phi Fsi's, Phi Gam's, Phi Delt's, Sigma Chi's, and Sig Alph's went out of their way to make the jauist as pleasant as possible. By the time the girls reached the vicinity of Potter Lake, via moving van, they appeared as octoorons, easter eggs, and a conglomeration of (purple). The freshmen seemed well rehearsed and calmly took turns at bathing in the cool waters of the lake. Latest reports are that many fellows remained at home today; they could not bear to gaze upon those that survived.

LaRue Johnson, D.G., was the cause of much argument Sunday afternoon when the announcement of her pinning was made at the Sigma Chi house with Gorden Miller, lucky lad. The Sigma Chi's rushed to the D.G. house and formed the usual line for congratulations, but the first three, Mike Nichols, Jim Conard, and Bill MacGregor argued as to whom should be first. Being true gentlemen, they let Jim step forward and returned to the rear. LaRue still can't understand about that long line.
We wondered Saturday night when we saw Nancy Tomlinson sitting with a young Lochinvar at one of the local nightstops. It seems that

Chicago U. Faculty Housing Project
Plans for a $1,500,000 faculty housing project have been drafted by the University of Chicago administration and were presented to the board of trustees for approval last week.
If construction is approved, it will get under way next fall, and when completed, the project will house at least 150 faculty members and their families.
Preliminary plans outline the erection of three apartment buildings, thirty-two group houses, and a building combining garage facilities and studio apartments. The unit will embrace an entire city block, official estimates say.

Mrs. Skinny Ennis, Former K.U. Student, May Visit Campus
Among the persons in the Bo Hope show which arrived in Kansas City yesterday for the bond rally last night at the Municipal Auditorium was Mrs. Skinyn Ennis, a former University student.
She wanted to know how far it is from Kansas City to Lawrence and hoped to make the trip here today but Mr. Ennis, the program's orchestra leader, said it was doubtful it could be arranged.
