UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, MARCH 22.1945
Letter to the Editor
(Editor's Note: Early in November a telegraphist of the British navy requested, in a letter to the dean (addressed to the "rector") that his address be distributed among the University coeds who he hoped would consider starting a "strictly platonic" correspondence. The sailor faithfully promised that he would "write regularly if some kind young lady will take pity on me." Dear Sir:
Would you please oblige me by returning my sincere thanks to all coeds at your university who offered to correspond with me. I regret that I cannot thank them personally but, believe me, I did appreciate their open-mindedness in being willing to write to a total stranger.
I would also like to add my apologies for addressing my letter to "The Rector." Please excuse this slip on the grounds of my unfamiliarity with American terms. I am, yours sincerely—Bill Ford.

One of the first questions, following Mr. Daniel's lecture, was "What about Russia?" The lecturer had not mentioned the Soviet Union in his analysis and prediction of world economies.
Russia, Mr. Daniel's answered, will figure along side the United States and the British Empire in world trade. These three powers should be able to establish a balance and maintain peace. The one difficulty will be the fact that Russia maintains an economic system which is so different from that of the other two powers.
"The Soviet, however, is coming in our direction," he said. "This makes me very happy."
Then after some thought, he added, "And we are going some in the Soviet's direction. With this, I'm not pleased."

Absent-minded professor — The other day Liz Baker, Chi O, was pondering over an Editing II quiz—in an empty class room. Suddenly Gordon Sabine, new journalism instructor, burst in, asking to borrow her pencil. Hastily writing this note, he tacked it on a nearby board: "Elizabeth Baker, please see me immediately." Well, he isn't quite that absent-minded—you see Mr. Sabine had never met Liz!

In their interesting war work Bell Laboratories' scientists have been on a new kind of hunt. They have tracked down different materials for those now hard to get, found others that would serve in special conditions, and have detected in captured equipment the kinds of material the enemy uses.
This laboratory, ready to move anywhere on short notice, runs down "crimes" against good telephone service. Finding these threats is one of the many jobs of the Bell Telephone Laboratories' scientists.
TRACKING DOWN TROUBLE
The "criminals" are such things as threads of lint, traces of acids, or sulphur compounds in the air any of which might damage telephone equipment.
These are some examples among many of the ways Bell System research is helping to serve America at war.
