Kansan Comments Letter to the Editor Five Alumni Acc
To the Editor of the Kansan:
I have noted with interest your editorial of April 30, regarding the wartime slumpers with their inactivity alibi here on the K.U. campus. I wish to give you a little information about the proposed student peace conference.
When we of the conference committee postponed the actual conference until next fall, we did it with the realization that this conference was something bigger than the time remaining in this semester allowed. The proposed conference is not to be a stunt night but a well-thought-out event with active participants, not performers. The period of time between now and then is not a period of inactivity, but a period of intensive work and study for all the students on the Hill. Miss Bettie Bixby will act as chairman of the conference next fall.
The Committee on Materials has received informative booklets and pamphlets on many phases of the peace question which will be distributed among the students so that they will know what they are talking about when they "sit" at the peace conference. We are pleased to announce that many valuable materials have been presented to the group for use in preparing for the conference. One of these is the contribution of the Manchester Guardian by Miss Rose Morgan, English professor now retired.
We also feel that the events taking place right now will have much influence on the conference next fall. I think that everyone will realize that if this conference is to mean anything—to have any actual value, it must be done thoroughly, and must be well-planned. The students must do some actual thinking. For all the students to take part in it, each organized house and each individual student must have a responsibility.
We hope to climax this conference with a convocation or like event with an outstanding speaker and student participation. By working on the plan this spring, we are sure that the peace conference next fall will be a worthwhile activity.
Get busy now, reading and thinking on the vital points that will mold the future of America.
Anne Stevens, Chairman Materials Committee.

All graduates and former students, no matter where they live, may vote if they are paid members of the Alumni association, Mr. Elsworth said. Last year votes came from European and Pacific theaters. A person, not now an active member, becomes eligible to vote immediately upon paying dues for the coming year, Mr. Elsworth explained.
Ballots must be returned to the alumni office by June 23. "Secrecy is insured by the fact that all ballots received are kept locked until the official counting committee, appointed by the president, opens them just before commencement." Mr. Ellsworth said.

The King's English — No one is quite sure where they came from, or where they were going, but two Harvard men wandered into the Chi Omega house for a social afternoon Sunday, and a confused time was had by all. Conversation troubles between the eastern Yankees and the mid-western Yankees climaxed when one of the strangers asked Margaret Ott if Chi O had a "pull-o" team as well as a baseball team. Undaunted, Ottlet explained, "No we don't, but we need only three more horses." It was slightly later when the Easterner gathered courage to say that he "didn't know you played billiards with horses."
This Thing, Art — The life of a photographer is hard. He stands in the rain to snap the parade, he risks near death to get a close-up of the fire, and he gets trampled by festive co-eds and dates as they crawls under tables of the Dine-A-Mite of a Wednesday night. But it's all for the sake of art, and Bert Kintzel, Jay-hawker photographer, guarantees it was, and would someone please pass the nerve tonic?

out a little once in a while, though.
Men Are Scare—Which may or may not be the reason for a letter from an unidentified "Charles, Phoeniz, Ariz:" received by the A.O. Pi house collectively. The letter begins "Dear A.O. Pi Sweethearts," and takes it from there, with emphasis on the fact that he believes in being true—to all of them. There's nothing like doing things large-scale.

believes. Among other things, you must remember to grab a candle before your roommate (Elaine Thalman) locks you in the closet. And what do you do until rescue comes? Well, Meg read her roommate's old love letters, deposited for safe keeping on the closet floor.
See America First—In fact, know your own community first—or better still, stay at home. Pete Carey and Rens McClure have adopted the policy wholeheartedly—until next time. They had finally saved gas to take dates Mimi Nettles and Beverly Stucker to Kansas City on a small party Saturday night, and even the addition to the party of Nancy Thomlinson and Martha Ellen Woodward, Bev's Theta sisters, who were planning to meet dates in the City, made little or no difference. But when the car broke down in Eudora, and got fixed just in time to come back to Lawrence, sans party, that did it. Nothing has been heard from two stood-up dates.
Molotov to Remain At Conference Longer
V. M. Molotov, Soviet foreign commissar significantly postponed his scheduled departure for Moscow from Friday to next Tuesday, May 8.
San Francisco—(INS)—The "Big Three" are in the midst of a major effort today to solve the vexing Polish problem while leaders of the smaller nations moved slowly toward moulding the machinery for a new world security order.
