World Shocked When France Refuses Allies
France shocked the world this week with her refusal to participate in the United Nations conference to be held in San Francisco. April 25. Because France was not a party to the Dumbarton Oaks conference at which a preliminary outline for a world security organization was drafted, she declined to join in sponsoring the conference called to consider the Dumbarton Oaks proposals.
United States-French relations have been strained since the first week of the invasion of North Africa. Friendliness was not stimulated with the liberation of France, and General Charles de Gaulle's failure to meet President Roosevelt at Algerians, on his way home from the Crimean conference, widened the gap of disagreement. Although it has been emphasized that France's
refusal to join as a sponsor for the San Francisco conference would not affect her prospects of becoming a permanent member of the world security council, it is surprising that any Allied nation would decline an opportunity to aid in preparing a charter for a national peace and security, which is the goal of the meeting.
France has by no means regained her former strength and prestige and cannot yet hope to be classed as a major world power. For this reason she was overlooked when the Crimean conference was planned by the Big Three. General de Gaulle cannot afford to be too haughty. A tentative United States program for $2,500,000,000 is a very necessary factor in the reconstruction of France. An extensive reconstruction program must be carried out by General de Gaulle before his nation can be recognized as the Big Fourth. However, sulking in a corner, refusing to participate in solving problems of prime importance to her welfare and the welfare of the world, is setting up a barrier to France's international recognition as a powerful member of the Allied Nations.
Rock Chalk Talk
By PAT PENNEX
O Captain, My Captain — Eileen O'Connor, Theta plodge, was aroused yesterday morning by a long distance call, which she thought was from a boy stationed in an Alabama camp. Picking up the phone, she said breathlessly, "Brick?" only to have a deep-voiced man reply, "No, this isn't Brick. It's Captain Coand-So, his commanding officer."
Eileen gasped, and stood hanging onto the phone, while the captain informed her that Brick had been chosen the outstanding cadet in his class, and that he could invite anyone he chose to his graduation this week with all expenses paid. Poor Eileen, absolutely sure that she had been dreaming, finally had to call on Brick's father, who had to call the Captain back to reassure Eileen. Now she's off to Alabama, her holder'd to see.

The vice-versa still prevails: Sam Harris, Phi Delt V-12, was heard giving a 20-minute dissertation during vacation about how terrible it is at KU. because all the girls chase the men so. To quote Sam: "It's just not safe out for any V-12." Bet Mary Margaret Morris, Sam's Kappa pledge, loves that!

Doesn't affect me, affect me, affect Me — The Jayhawker office stayed open all day Saturday. Feb. 24, to enable students to get the new issue of the Jayhawker. With only a few helpers available, relief for the office staff was just not to be had, and after so long a time of looking at cards, and more cards, the girls began to show signs of wear and tear.

The usual procedure is for some-

More on Moffett: Mr. Beth was conducting his first class in Editing I yesterday, and he asked Charlie Moffett to explain what a case is. Moffett queried, "You mean a type case?" To which Mr. Beth knowingly replied, "Well, not a beer case, Charlie." That hurt!

The Professor points out—Mr. Gibson, department of social science, got his new class in Social Science Survey off to a bangup start by admonishing them about being lax during the course, then coming and weeping on his shoulder after receiving grades.
"It's all right if it's a cute, curvesome blond." said Gibson, "but I can't see this 200 pound football player stuff." Professor Gibson went on to say that if anyone felt the sudden urge to bubble over with information, especially in the ear of the cute coed sitting to the right, not to be a piker, but, "take her over to the Union and buy her a coke," he proposed.

Terre Haute, Ind.—(ACF)—When the Sycamores of Indiana State Teachers college defeated Crane Naval depot on Jan. 23, Coach Glenn Curtis chalked up his hundredth basketball victory.
Coach Glenn Curtis Records 100th Victory
This total was achieved in a little more than six years, for it was in 1938, after a disastrous cage campaign which produced a lone victory in eighteen contests, that Mr. Curtis was brought in from Martinville High school where his teams had established one of the outstanding scholastic records in the state. The new coach faced little difficulty in improving the mark of the previous season, but his success beyond that was remarkable. He quickly developed State's previously mediocre teams into aggregations respected throughout this section.
In the six and a third season he has been at the helm, his teams have won 98 of their 135 games for winning percentage of .726. Never has one of his squads finished on the minus side of the won and lost ledger. One of the best records was piled up by last season's outfit, which won 17 and lost 4. Asked how he ranked his present squad with those of past years, the Coach opinioned, "Well, this team certainly had courage and spirit; in the last two weeks it has shown as much of this as any squad I've ever had."

Coeds Win in Wit Quiz
DePauw boasted that it was a school where students could challenge their professors in a battle of wits and not be afraid of the after-effects—the climax was a quiz show, "Profs vs. Co-eds." Finally the coeds won, but the professors claimed an indirect victory, as they had taught the coeds.
Apple polishing at Mary Baldwin college in Staunton, Va.' is very simple—mainly because the college owned an adjoining apple orchard. When the president recently sold the orchard, he did so with the provision that students could still have the daily apple basket.
