THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Red Cross Fails To Take Issue On Nurse Draft
Testifying before a Senate investigating committee in Washington last week, a spokesman for the American Red Cross refused to go on record for or against the proposed national draft of nurses. She said that because the Red Cross is composed of people of so many different opinions it could not take a stand on any question.
Before passing a bill of such import, the congressmen want to be sure it is a necessity for the successful promotion of the war. The only way they can determine this is by asking the people who know. Army and navy officials have testified that they need more nurses. The American Red Cross is the only other organization that is in a position to know how serious the situation is. Red Cross field workers are on all battlefronts. Many of the nurses overseas are Red Cross nurses, and others were recruited by the Red Cross for the army and navy.
The nurses' draft bill, if it is passed, will be the first law in our history to single out the people of one particular occupation for conscription. It will be the first step toward the drafting of all women. It will set a precedent for future law makers and will be one more step in the ever-tightening control of the government over private lives.
If every institution composed of persons of different opinions took no definite stand on matters of national importance, little progress would be made. Unless the Red Cross takes a definite stand in regard to the issue, its lack of unity will prevent an intelligent and fair consideration of the problem. Red Cross leaders, who are best qualified to judge the probable results of the proposed draft of nurses, are handing the responsibility to legislators who must blindly make a decision for the organization that will not speak for itself.

Guess what Delt is back visiting? That's right—Bob Moore, from Wichita. And so last night all the women's houses were honored with a serenade. Of course, the serenade was by a small representation of the entire chapter, and the words of the songs were hardly distinguisheable, and no one sang back, but it was a serenade. Hope you enjoyed yourselves, boys.
For the most sentimental valentine, our vote goes to the one sent to "Dainty" Small from Bobbie Thiele, her roommate. The card was trimmed with hearts and flowers, and the verse went something like this: "A feller once said that yo' weren't fit to sleep with th' hogs! But I stood up for yo' yo' . . . I said yo' were."
Everyone was busilly whacking away on their sharks in Comparative
Anatomy lab. They had to remove the eyes and find the nervous system. Suddenly some bright soul said during a lull, "This reminds me of an old Russian ballad—Shark Eyes."
Babe Donovan and Dorthe McGill got off the train at Kansas City and toward them came two sailors. Babe and Dorthe walked along with their noses up in the air, trying to impress the sailors that they didn't know them and had much more important business elsewhere. Suddenly one of the sailors said, "Hey, babe, what town is this?" Babe was so startled that she turned around slowly with a dazed expression on her face and said, "Kansas City."
Dorthe, have you ever explained to her that they meant babe instead of Babe?
Oh yes, I almost forget—A Happy Valentine's day.
