Kansan Comments Think of Tomorrow- What Does It Mean?
The soldier was sitting on the steps—smoking, and looking over the campus. It was good to be home again. Spring on Mt. Oread wiped away all the grim days of death and filth and foxholes.
It was then that Joe College, the crew-collegian, rushed up and joined the crowd in front of Ad, pulled out his cigarette, lit it, and threw down his match—hard. You could tell he was disregusted.
"Damn it, I'm in a bitter mood Tomorrow's Memorial day. So what? We go to classes. No mail; the stores close; but we gotta go to school.
"I'm sick and tired of this place. You come up here with just enough money to get board and room and cigaret, and then they beat your brains out from every side to get you to donate to silly stuff—some nursery deal over in England, some student service fund for preachers in China. And then you take your shirt off and give it to some dope in France.
"Sure glad I'll be out of this hole next year. No football games in the stadium; no football players. Another thing is the food up here. We've got as much right to steals as anybody. But where are they? Packed away in some big bastard's stomach, or else over in Europe.
"College is a hell of a mess. No fun any more—no big parties with name bands, Just books, and term papers, and quiz files. Those joes oversea—sure, they gotta take a lot, but they get a bang out of life."
rific bang out of life. Cartons to spare, plenty of beer and bourbon. And some other things.
He stumbled a little as he got up. It was hard to get used to a leg that wasn't your own, but he'd learn.
LETTER FROM—
(continued from page one)
He said, 'I am told it was because President Roosevelt had to do something to curtail unemployment, or have his party go out of power."
Nazis Belief Strong
Lieutenant Cavert said that the only significant thing that he learned that day was "that the middle aged, intellectual group of Germans have that staunch, block-headed nationalism which has been attributed to them; that they were and are enthusiastic Nazis. In my mind, it is no longer just the young people we must cope with, but everyone." Cavert Sees Some Alumni
In closing Lieutenant Calvert told the alumni secretary about some former University students that he had seen recently. They were Lt. Thomas O'Neil and Max L. Wymore, students in the School of Engineering from 1940 to 1943; Lt. Clare Colman, College student from 1940 to 1943; and George R. (Dick) Mankin, a graduate of the School of Engineering in 1943.

Counter Attack—The Chi O gals then stamped the Psi house and painted the white pillars in front pink and blue. Why do they always pick these two colors? Call 552!
BEACH
Only a Rose—Chi Omega's spent Thursday night staring out their windows while the Phi Psi's dug up a little dirt out of the front yard. One of the brothers drove up in a truck and the other Psi's quietly unloaded a box out of the back and placed it in the ground. They solemnly picked up their shovels and departed.

The Chi O' broke a couple of legs getting down stairs only to find that those pranking boys had cemented a "modern convenience" in the front yard. Since the Chi O spring formal Saturday night was the Rose Ball, Psi's had thoughtfully named it the Rose Bowl.
Water, water, everywhere - Carol Stuart, Delta Gamma, has done it again. Staying up from dinner Friday night, she called the president of the house and told her that due to the floods and lack of chemicals the water supply would be off from 7 p.m. until 10 a.m. The DG's were wise to the joke; they sent pledge Polly Staples to call the water company. "Stu" got hold of Polly and got her verify it.
All the gals rushed up stairs and filled everything that would hold anything with water. Carol thought she would be safe and out of the house by seven, but her face was

Martins and McCoys—or, the Sig Alphas and Sigma Chi's. For then big sweetheart dance Saturday night, the Sigs borrowed a hose from the Sig Alphas to supply their fountain in the back yard with water. About half of the party was planned outside, and the Sigs spent the afternoon working hard to get the yard in shape. Along came the big downpour about 5 p.m. and with it a phone call from the Sig Alphas saying, "Do you want to borrow another hose or have you got enough water over there?"
For the safety of women and children we suggest a stone wall between the two houses.
