THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Big Three Group Makes Plans; Ignores France
Nazi hopes may have been doomed with the report that the Big Three had reached complete agreement on military operations to wind up the war against Germany. However, they are probably smiling with satisfaction over evidence of the widening gap between France and the Big Three group.
Because France is still weak and a minor participant in the war, Gen. Charles de Gaulle possessed neither the power nor the prestige for negotiation with the other Allied leaders in the Big Three conference. Two major issues now separate France from Britain and America; supplies to rebuild France, chiefly concerning the United States; and the settlement of France's future relations" with the Reich, particularly in the Rhineland, concerning Britain.
General de Gaulle has already said that he would accept no decisions affecting France unless he helped make them. It has been indicated that most disturbing to the French is the report that Russia might try to establish a German government under Field Marshall General Friedrich von Paulus and also seek French recognition of the Lublin regime in Poland which the French refused to recognize when General de Gaulle was in Moscow.
General deGaulle also has stated that the French will not end the war "without being assured that French forces will be permanently stationed from one end of the Rhine to the other." A report from Washington concerning the Big Three conference has indicated that the Big-Three leaders have already discussed "plans for the occupation and control of Germany."
In addition to the Rhineland issues France has been arguing with the United States over lend-lease problems, and negotiations have come close to a breakdown.
Germany will undoubtedly enjoy these disagreements between the present conferring group and its uninvited former member. The awaited communique will determine who will smile last—France or Germany. —J.V.
Big Three Conferred In Yalta, Formerly Czar's Favorite Home
It is not a misspelling, it is Y-a-l-t-a.
Yalta is the place where President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin met, and in case you never heard of it, it is, or rather was, the favorite home of the Czar and his high officials in the Black Sea area.
Livadia palace, where the historic conference was held, is a hundred-room white stone structure built by the Czar at a cost of a million dollars. The Soviets now use it as a rest home for workers.

Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
Indirect Lighting—Sigma Kappas have recently unearthed a new kind of trouble, the result of an unofficial Quest for Health campaign. The girls on third, the report goes, who can't wait for spring and the sun deck, have acquired sun lamps and are going at it for an early start. A fine idea, but almost nightly a fuse gives up the struggle at the SK house. Quite undaunted, the girls gathered an assortment of candles. The drawback—not enough candle holders. But the navy can be very obliging sometimes—this time quite unsuspectingly. And pop bottles do lend quite an atmosphere, the Sigma K's add.

A New Approach-This one is guaranteed to work (he's too weak to struggle), and all one needs is an obliging bacteriology major. It was seen in action last week-three bac majors, out for blood (for tests, naturally), spent the evening at a sorority's door with needle in hand, and stuck each date that entered the door.
Sign of Spring—Alphi Chi's and navy dates offered the first picnic of the 1945 season. The boys, at least, are sure it was still a little early Saturday night—they spent the evening keeping a bonfire going. Norman "Frenchie" Blair, however.
PERSONAL RATING---sat down under a blanket and was little or no help. In answer to insistent requests for assistance, "Frenchie" explained that he couldn't see a thing, and had to keep his head covered to keep his feet warm.

Ohio State, Wisconsin, Purdue, Michigan, Stanford, and Minnesota universities wrote that they had found their systems of having all-university quiz files successful in most instances.

This Stuff. Culture—The little guy hasn't a chance, especially with a group of Fine Arts majors. Heard after the band concert:
"Their intonation was very good" from the first.
"Yes, and the military numbers were very interesting," from a second.
An Honest Nickel—Merideth Gear and Madelon 'Mc' MacGuire, Chi Omegas, were walking down Massachusetts street a few night aga- with the best of intentions of bothering no one. Then Mac realized that one of a group small boys who had been behind them had caught up and was eyeing 5-foot Merideth intently. Before she could say anything, he had shouted "wait a minute fellas, I will be right with you." Then he grabbed Merideth by the shoulders, put one squarely on her, and run off yelling, "Pay men, pay me, I did it—"
"By the way," from the little guy,
"who wrote the Nopupon Suite?"
Bewildered Merideth turned with, "And I didn't even see what he looked like!"
