Kansan Comments Military Government in Marshalls May Be Key to Pacific Peace
With the European armistice near, and ultimate victory in all combat theaters a certainty, peace-time planning takes the spotlight. The world depends on such planning to restore rights to liberated peoples.
For that reason, problems of international organisation are being hammered out daily in the very workshops of war. Disarmament, relief, rehabilitation, and government stabilization are insistent controversies which meetings such as Dumbarton Oaks, Bretton Woods, and the pending San Francisco conference will help decide.
Most Americans have a vague knowledge of such peace problems. They realize that sections in Europe already in the post-war classification are attempting to solve these very difficulties. But few know what is being done in the Pacific.
In that region, the initial phase of peace planning began last year with the installation of military government in the Majuro Atoll of the Marshall Islands. Five proclamations were posted to lay down fundamental rules of governmental supervision on the Islands. Framed especially for the Marshalls, the proclamations were a synthesis of
Allied experience in the Caribbean, North Africa, and Italy, and knowledge gained from international law and treaties.
The Japanese penal code and native customary law have been retained. Offenders of existing laws are punishable by a military court which has the power to try all civil offenses and crimes arising from the war.
The proclamations cover commercial practices, set up a currency system, provide for a moratorium on debts, and forbid transfer of land or buildings without the consent of the military government.
The degrees provide for the suspension of all Japanese authority in the Marshalls, with Admiral Chester W. Nimitz exercising full civil authority as military governor. The natives have been assured that their customs, laws, and property, will be respected.
Insignificant as the Marshalls may seem to the average reader, the proclamations open a new era of American history in that region. The introduction of Military Government points toward security in the Pacific.-E.A.B.
50 High Schools Enter Journalism Contest
Fifty Kansas high schools have entered the 25th annual high school newspaper contest conducted by the department of journalism. Exactly 353 entries in the eight divisions of the contest have been received. Last year, 52 schools submitted 218 entries.
The Kansas contest does not consider the size of the school as a factor because the whole newspaper is not judged. Each school newspaper staff selects the best articles it has published during the year and enters each in the appropriate one of these divisions: news story, editorial, feature story, human interest story, interview story.
Entries are being judged by faculty members of the department of journalism. Announcement of winners will be made in about two weeks; a broadside containing the complete list will be sent to every school and to many newspapers in Kansas.
Two divisions, service to the school and business management, are judged on the basis of special reports on activities and accomplishments of the newspaper. The eighth division is for miscellaneous entries, such as columns, cartons, humor departments, and illustrations.

Rock Chalk Talk
By ELAINE THALMAN
Life's embarrassing moments—While walking to an 8:30 class in Frank Strong with Mo Marshall, Beverly Mendenhall noticed that her companion was carrying an interesting looking can labeled "Adam's Peanut Brittle, a Real Nutty Surprise"—it turned out to be quite a nutty surprise! Just as the two reached the rotunda, the lid accidentally popped off, and out sprang three green gingham snakes, each measuring a yard, no less. Two went wild and fortunately did not hit anyone, but the third draped itself gracefully over a slender stem of the ornamental grass decorating the center. The snakes are now back in Mo's zoo at 1234 Oread. Visiting hours, 4 to 6.

The thorn among two dozen roses—Vic Pirnierie the alarming news when he called Jae Shaw, Alpha Delt, that she had fallen down the steps and was in the hospital with a broken toe. He was crestfallen, until the hospital called saying that Jac requested his presence. Sentimentally, he sent her a dozen roses, only to discover later that she had answered the phone, revealed the phony story, and had called him again, impersonating a hospital attendant. The roses were lovely.

Quill Club to Hold Initiation Thursday
The long and short of it—When Ruth "Rocky" McCurry, Sigma Kappa pledge president, announced that there would be a short pledge meeting, tiny Jill Lauderdale begged, "Can we tall pledges come, too?"
The group will meet at the home of Professor John E. Hankins. The exercises will be planned and supervised by Professor E. M. Hopkins, founder of the national society.
The society employs as symbols the Runic letters of the old English and Norse alphabets instead of the more usual Greek letters. Professor Hopkins, who devised the system, felt that the English alphabet
