Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
Advocates of the proposal to establish universal military training in this country after the war should consider the negative aspects of the issue before making any bland endorsement of the idea.
A system of military training will not automatically insure security for our country. France, with her large standing army and millions of trained reserves, could not stop the Germans from overrunning that country in 1940.
Universal training of large populations in war tactics has been followed by increased resort to armed force within and between nations. The Russian revolution during the last war occurred in a large population which had been trained to use military methods.
The United States should not readily endorse such a system merely because it has been adopted in Europe. For more than 100 years, that continent has maintained universal military conscription. Instead of leading to peace and cooperation among nations, it has been the active basis of wars.
Adequate land, sea, and air forces will be necessary for collective security. A small, adequately trained, mobile army for defense and internal order will spell protection. But universal military training on the part of any nation is not consistent with the policy of establishing an international police force to preserve peace and order.
The experiment of postwar conscription, infiltrating the country's young manhood with ideas of force is a hazardous proposal for democracy to endorse.—E.B.

Dear Editor:
The All-Student Council has not yet appointed a student court this year. Apparently it is following in last year's foot steps. The court members for the 1943-1944 school year were not appointed until March, and they spent the next month debating the eligibility of one member.
Articles have been appearing in the Daily Kansan relating to the violation of smoking regulations on the campus. They threaten, on the authority of an ASC member, that offenders shall be prosecutor by the student court. Apparently the ASC believes the warning is enough to prevent the violations. It is not expecting to ever bring any such cases before the court.
The student court is supposed to be the highest form of student government on the campus. It has the power to decide on the legality of rules passed by the ASC and passage on students who break the rules, yet we go through half a school year without bothering to set it up. Imagine the uproar that would be created if the president of the U.S. calmly forgot to appoint new justices to the Supreme Court when there were vacancies.
After the recent controversy over the appointment of a faculty supervisor for school activities and expressions of fear for the disappearance of student government, it seems a little odd that such an important means of student government as the court should be disregarded.
A Student.

Rock Chalk Talk
Basketball practice was over, and Nancy Parshall and Bev Waters started the long trek home, when whose car but Johnny Stranberg's should be sitting outside Robinson gym. "Serves him right," said Nancy. "I bet he's watching some other team play. This will teach him." So since the keys weren't to be found, Nancy and Bev compromised on the seat of the coupe, which they carried home. Later that night Johnny called, and Nancy was heard to exclaim, "Why no, darling, don't be silly, honey. No Alpha Chi would take the seat out of your car. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. Now who do you suppose would do a thing like that?"
Johnny had lots of time to figure out the answer, too, because he was seen driving around the campus the next day bracing himself against the back of the seat since he couldn't see out too well sitting on the fifth of the car. Don't say it, Johnny, it isn't nice.

The other night the phone rang at the Sigma Kappa house, and after paying a nickel, a low mellow voice warned the girls that they should fill all the bathtubs and lavatories with water before it was turned off as a result of a break in the main on Tennessee street. Fifteen minutes later the phone rang, and pledge,
Shirley. Gunther, answered.

Cree Warden's psych lab class was standing in a circle holding hands to demonstrate how fast an impulse could be passed around the room. "As the person on your left squeezes your hand," instructed Mr. Warden, "you pass it on by squeezing the hand of the person on your right." Alice (Ack Ack) Ackerman understood perfectly. When Mr. Warden squeezed her hand, she squeezed his right back.
Wednesday night Chi O pledges were in meeting, which necessitated the great white mother's answering the phone. Donna Burkhead picked up the phone and said, "Chi Omega, start the conversation." a minute later Annie Young answered on first with, "Chi Omega, this end is ready. How about yours?"
Yes, Reporter Bintley.
"Good," he said, "we'll be right over in a few minutes—we want to sail our sailboats in your tubs tonight." PT8, maybe.
"Got your bathtubs all full?" the voice asked.
"Yes" replied Shirley.
