Separation Plan May Be Basis Of Another War
That Germany will be partitioned after the war is almost a certainty, according to some authorities. They approve Churchill's plan to separate the Ruhr and Rhineland and perhaps industrial Silesia from Germany and place them under the economic and political control of the United States, Great Britain, Russia, and France.
The object would be to make sure that the sinnes of war in central Europe would be kept under control. It must not be forgotten that one of the reasons for the present war is the overdose of partitioning Europe has swallowed during the last century.
The Alsace-Lorraine trouble should be proof of enough of this. That small portion of land has been partitioned so many times, first from France and then from Germany, that it is not quite certain to whom it really does belong. If the Allies took the Rhine and Ruhr from Germany, to whom would they belong?
France would want them, that is certain. But France could not be counted on to administer them for the general good. Russia will be content with taking over countries closer to the homeland. This leaves England and the United States. Heretofore, the U.S. has declined to own parts of Europe. Yet all of the other Allied countries would not be willing for England alone to have the rich industrial section.
Taking away Germany's manufacturing sections would leave her a top-sided agricultural country, unable to support her millions.
Disarm Germany. Re-educate Germany. Change her form of government, scrutinize her new rulers, and supervise them closely. But for the sake of peace, let's not partition her.-K.G.
Jan Karski to Tell Of Polish Campaign
Jan Karski, author of "Story of a Secret State," will be in Lawrence April 16 to speak on his experience in the Polish campaign, as a Russian prisoner of war, and as a member of the Polish underground movement. The lecture is included in the Community Lecture course as a replacement for the lecture by Cecil Roberts which was cancelled last December. Activity tickets will admit students.
Mr. Karski is a first-hand witness of the events in Europe of the past few years. A week before the war began Mr. Karski was waltzing in a Warsaw drawing room, making gay plans with a lovely young girl and her friends. That same night he was mobilized and sent off to camp. From then on his life became one of intrigue and peril, beginning with his part in the 18-day Polish campaign, through his experiences as a courier for the underground and his capture by the Gestapo, and ending with his escape from the Nazis and his subsequent escape from Fortress Europe.
Five Victory Speakers Scheduled to Tour State
"The Victory Speaking teams are planning a number of engagements," announced E. C. Buehler, professor of speech. The schedule includes appearances at Iola, the Kansas City, Kan., Kiwanis club, and high school assemblies at Valley Falls, Holton, Washington, and Chanute.
Speakers who will take part are Patsy Creel, Lecta Marks, Sarah Marks, John Gunther and Richard Stutz.
Y.W.C.A. Will Hold Meeting Wednesday
An all-membership association meeting of the Y.W.C.A. will be in Kansas room Wednesday afternoon at 3:30. This will be the first business meeting of the year.
Plans will be made concerning a miniature world organization and the representation of the Y.W.C.A. in it, with Mignon Morton as chairman of the committee which is sponsored by the Student Religious council.
Each local Y.W.C.A. chapter has been asked by national headquarters to hold a campus convention this year to discuss national business, since the national convention has been cancelled for the duration. Plans for the meeting, which will be held April 14, will be discussed. The chairman of this group is Fronzena Jackson. Lonnie Kelley, president, will preside.

Attended Chicago Meeting
He attended, in Chicago recently, a meeting of the Music War Council of America of which he is head of the music in education committee. It was there that he made a plea for the democratization of music, providing for music instruction in schools without payment of private lessons, so that it may no longer be "a luxury for the privileged few in a country where mass education is an accepted fact."
WAR CONVERSION----
(continued from page one) and experienced men from government and industry, and at each meeting there will be opportunity for questions and discussion of specific cases and individual problems. Outside speakers are coming from St. Louis, Chicago, Wright Field, Washington, Baltimore, and Detroit, in addition to participants from this area.
Speakers All Well-Informed
Since this course is for an actual situation, the speakers are all directly and presently connected with contract readjustment and settlement, according to Guy V. Keeler, assistant director of the University Extension Division.
The meeting Tuesday is the first in a series of lectures to be held at weekly meetings for 10 consecutive weeks. In order to accommodate the expected 225 business men, lawyers, and accountants, who attend from the Kansas City area, each meeting will be divided into two sections to be held on Tuesday and Wednesday of each week. The Tuesday section is closed to further registration since a maximum enrollment has been reached.
The Extension Division is handling the promotional activities and the educational direction is under the supervision of the School of Business.

Rock Chalk Talk
By ANNE SCOTT
The Wandering Wolves — In the spring, a young man's fancy turns to--- well, shall we say love or baseball? In this case it may have been both because one lovely evening last week the Sigma Chi boys wandered over to the Gamma Phi house. There they became engrossed in a fast game of baseball with Ann (Babe) Moorehead, Shirley (Slugger) Otter, and Jerry (Dizzy Nelson). The girls must have great drawing power or maybe it was the thought of good food, because four of the he-men managed to invite themselves to dinner. Yes, you've guessed it—Ival Wantland was included accompanied by Owen Peck, Mike Rake, and Joe Bukaty.
Camera trouble—The Shive-Cody pinning at the Chi O house Saturday night was slightly sensational. Bert Kintzel and his ever-ready camera added to the enjoyment of the evening. Bert seemed to be eager to record the events and Jean and Ed were willing to cooperate. In fact, the Phi Gams and Chi Omegas all were cooperative. But every time Bert attempted to snap a clinch something happened to the camera, and there was nothing for Ed and Jean to do but to hold it. Other difficulties included tiny Meredith Gear's attempts to congratulate six-footer Shive with a kiss.

Freshman Woes — Along with the new semester come the inevitable initiations of various sorts. Saturday, after their party, the new residents at Tippery are introduced to the wonderful dorm life at the University. They went merrily off to bed only to find the cold, hard springs staring at them. Oh, the life of a freshman.
Was his face red—For the lack of something better to do, the Pi Phi's played a game of pinch winch. Time: Friday afternoon. Place: Pi Phi porch. Characters: Erway, Godbehere, Scott, Armacost, and Aylward. Victim: Kirk Scott. Poor Kirk—he didn't know what it was al labour, but he thought it was LOTS of fun. Then came the dawning—was his face red. It was even redden when he walked out the door to face the O.A.O., Dottie Warren.

Perilous Journey — Gamma Phi's B. J. O'Neal and Jane Owen, decided to trip down to Pratt to visit expressent Marianne Glad The only catch in this beautiful plan was the lack of funds. Their solution to the problem was a benefit performance before the chapter. The chapter hasn't decided just who got the benefit, but anyway the show netted $1.98. It must have been enough, because they made the trip.
