Kansan Comments Discarded Clothing Welcomed By YWCA for War Victims
Next Sunday will be the beginning date for one of the most practical campaigns of this war—a national clothing collection for the deprived people of battle-torn countries overseas.
Many students attending the University through the generosity of their parents or working their own way through college do not have much ready cash to donate to the frequently recurring drives seeking monetary support. The coming campaign, however, does not ask for actual money, but merely for the old clothes which were probably destined for the next rummage sale.
Easter clothes, purchased only a few weeks ago, undoubtedly substitute for some of the outfits which have been worn since early high school days. Then there are the seemingly insignificant items, such as mittens and gloves—even those with holes which easily can be darned—faded head-scarves, sweat-shirts that have become a little too
baggy, saddle shoes that have curled up at the toes, now unfashionable ear-muffs, shirts with frayed collars and cuffs, and old sweaters.
Play Festival Termed 'Best in Many Years'; Many High Ratings
Some of this may sound like junk to those who have always been able to replenish their wardrobes at the first sign of wear, but to war victims who have not been able to rescue their clothes before bombs destroyed their homes, such garments will be exceedingly welcome. Surely we university people can afford to contribute this much for overseas relief—we, who have not even been restricted by clothes rationing.
Although you may think that you don't have any clothes here that aren't essential, if you go home this evening and cull your wardrobe with a really critical eye, at least one spare article of clothing is bound to be uncovered. It is this article that the Y.W.C.A. asks that you donate to the clothing collection when its solicitors come around next week.
"The best one-act play festival in many years," commented Gerald L. Pearson, principal of the University high school, today, on the annual University Speech and Drama festival here Friday and Saturday.
Of a total of nine Kansas high schools participating in the play contest, Prof. Allen Crafton, of the department of speech and drama, who acted as judge, awarded five first division ratings. The winning schools were Wyandotte, Turner, Washington Rural, Bonner Springs, and Rosedale.
More than a hundred participants were guests of organized houses on the campus, Friday night.
Thirteen schools were represented in the extemporaneous speaking, prose reading, radio drama, and oratory events. Arkansas City, Wyandotte, and Topeka high schools, in class A, won the greatest number of first division ratings. Bonner Springs and Washington Rural were awarded the largest number of firsts in individual events for class B schools.

Hannover were duplicated all along the Western Front. American troops were only 58 miles from the Czech border and the Russians were deep inside Vienna and fast overwhelming the German garrison. A break-out by Soviet troops from their Odor river bridgehead was expected shortly.
Student Undergoes Operation
This rising tide of allied victory in Europe enabled President Roosevelt to say that Norway and Denmark would be given their early liberation. On the fifth anniversary of Germany's Scandinavian invasion Mr. Roosevelt said very soon their period of martyrdom will be ended.

THE ARTIST--largely responsible for the artist becoming part of human society and not just a symbol of working force. He believes too, that the concept towards the college professor has changed in this manner explaining that 25 years ago Woodrow Wilson, a professor, warned that civilization would meet its downfall if the plan for a unity among nations failed. Then it was unthinkable as an idea, but now it is

Rock Chalk Talk
By CAROL STUART
Oh, ye cod—Liz Hodge, at Cutler House, got tired of the commonplace things of life such as putting rocks and such in people's beds. The other day, Liz went downtown and bought a cofidish, and put it in everyone's bed until the little fella' found one that seemed like home to him. Which just might explain the odor at Cutler House lately.

A trio grows in Lawrence-Hidden talent was brought to light when Dud Day, V-12, his guitar and trio, entertained Kansas City bound train passengers recently. The only trouble was that the passengers got a little tired of hearing loyal-to-his-home-state-Dud play "California" over and over again.
Bill Norris, come home—The following conversation was overheard between Pebble Beach and the obliging soul who cashed a check for Pebble at the Kansan business office the other day: "Single?" "Yes, darn it!" "Sorry to have brought it up."

Ale, ale, the gang's all here—Question of the week: Why did they refuse to serve John McGuckin, man
realized.
Integration between all kinds of men and all kinds of thought in days to come will change the greatest handicap of men, the separation of spirit from flesh, he emphasized. Toscanini Outstanding Leader
Another man who knew his art but could be with society at the same time was Paderewski, pianist and stateman. The former premier of Poland, Mr. Downes believes would have with his ideals saved the Polish nation from the disaster that Pilsudski brought it to. The critic believes that the Paderewski was the man responsible for the recognition of Poland in his time.
He concluded that the artist must not be a symbol of which we dream, but a part of our intreigate living, the seen proved by the unseen and the unseen proved by the seen. Radio and Phonograph Bridge Car
Toscaniini stands out in the world as a man who tried to get away from the gap between the musician and human society. This was the man who refused to play the Fascist hymn and when beaten and imprisoned fearlessly accused his dictator of being a murderer and a coward.
In an interview, Mr. Downes said that he believed radio and records have played a large part in bridging the gap and making music "accessible" to the people; also, that music has become an absolute essential in the life of our army.
"Toscaniini fought with open weapons as a musician, effectively using them," he explained. "He projected to the principles which he believes and pays allegiance. He cannot be swerved from his purpose and will fight for his art with a deathless purpose not aloof. And if he lives his art will be one of the working forces of the world about us. Paderewski Linked With Society
of the world and sophisticate, when he visited one of Kaysee's brighter night spots recently? McGuckin insists that it was all because he was with Bill Kanaga, who happened to be talking baby-talk when the waitress came along.

And that's egzactly the way to do it—The A.O. Pi's are going to make wonderful wives for some fortunate men. In a recent demonstration of how well they could cook, the gals boiled some eggs just like everyone else does . . . in the shell. Except that they put salt in the water to add a bit of zest to the shells.

Speak now, or forever hold your peace—Everything went off beautifully at the big wedding in Salina this weekend, of Jean Hoffman, Kappa, and Ed Read, Teke, except for the time when Jean was walking back down the aisle after the ceremony. 'Seems that Jean dropped her handkerchief at that moment, which made newly acquired hubby wonder if Jean was really satisfied with her choice.
