"Regardless of how many times you've been strafed by ME-109's, and shelled by 88's there's always time to read the Kansan Review."—Pfc. James E. Jake, artist who contributed the above cartoon.
Students Responsible for Filling Servicemen's Request for Review
Postal officials sent out a request last week that newspapers not be sent overseas servicemen because they add valuable weight and space that can be utilized for more highly prized letters and vital materials of war: For this reason alone the value of the Kansan Review for servicemen is increased. Because it is enclosed in envelopes with personal letters, its rapid delivery is certain.
The Review was not designed primarily for convenience of mailing, however—the real reason for its existence dates back to February when the Kansas board decided to devise a way to publish a news sheet for the former K.U. students now in service—for those who yearn for news from "home." Because the Kansas board had no desire to make a profit on the publication, the Reviews were first offered at one cent a copy to pay the printing expenses. It was hoped that those who are on the campus now would be glad to send them with personal letters to their friends.
After a few of the issues containing condensed stories of campus events had reached the men overseas, "thank you" letters began coming in from the four corners of the earth; they thanked the publishers of the Review for bringing a touch of home—a bit of news that otherwise was not available. Those letters were the determining factor. Since Kansan Review is playing an important part in the happiness of our former classmates, the Kansan board resolved to continue publication — to try to convince the civilian students that the Review is appreciated and that it is successful as far as the persons for whom it is published are concerned. Of course, the news is old to those who are on the campus when the events occur, but to one who sees mud and death every day, a few reminders of cherished days at K.U. are valuable—and pleasant memories make the fighting more bearable.
Several campus organizations have agreed to pay for part of the expenses of publication so that the Review may be continued. Letters of reply and indirect words of approval have proved that overseas servicemen want to receive the Review. It is up to their friends on the campus to see that copies are sent to them regularly.
Letter to the Editor
To the Editor:
I received the February 12 issue of the Kansan Review, and I was more than happy to get it. It was sent to me by Rev Harold G. Barr, a member of the K. U. staff and my former minister at the First Christian church in Lawrence.
I didn't get to attend K.U..as I planned, and if it weren't for the war, I would have been in my freshman year there, but if and when I do get back, I still plan to enter K. U. Before entering the army, I was studying interior decorating and art at Haskell.
I am sending you a cartoon to let all you Jayhawkers know how good it feels to get the Kansan Review, and I know other Jayhawkers who have seen continuous combat will feel the same way when they receive it. Regardless of how many times you've been strafed by ME109's and shelled by 88's, there's always time to read the Kansan Review.
Yours truly.
Pfc. James E. Jake, somewhere in Europe.
