THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Red Cross Unit Would Benefit War. Students
"What can we do to help out?" hundreds of University women students are asking. Although they are boosting service men's morale by writing letters, there seems to be little war work they can do on the campus.
Nurses' aides are doing a creditable job, but not all women can spare the regular hours which must be devoted weekly to this project. Bandages can be rolled at the Community building, but there is little incentive for a coed to go down town to work two or three hours with perfect strangers.
Why not establish an auxiliary Red Cross unit on the campus? Organized houses would be glad to take turns sponsoring the unit and entertaining members.
Such a rotation among houses might eliminate the increasing tendency of Greek and independent organizations to "clique" among themselves. Aworth-while war effort where women from every house could become acquainted with each other might break down the walls between houses.
The campus unit could promote blood donor drives, back book drives, make scrap books, knit sweaters and roll bandages.
An organization of this nature would add another to the list of badly needed campus activities. More important, it would give students the chance to make direct contributions to the war. Playing cards and dreaming about "when Joe is back" is getting them nowhere

Rock Chalk Talk
Just to break the monotony of histology class, Chester Klein, freshman medic, has the habit of standing up in the middle of class and giving his impersonations of cows, roosters, chickens, and hogs. Friends claim that he's homesick for the farm.

Monday night found the D.G.'s without a housemother at dinner, and suppressed desires won over manners when the culture chairman stood up and announced that all manners were off for the evening. Rolls flew through the air, silver ware was laid aside, and general havoc reigned. The height of it all was when Pebble Beach sat in the middle of the table and announced that she was a centerpiece.
Just to let everyone know how sweet they are, Dave Whyte and Bill Jenson call each other "Dextrose," and "Glucose," respectively.

For all those who have been trying to locate Patty Armel, she may be found in the Theta bathtub. Unbendable Armel could stand it no longer and announced she was just going to sit and soak until her taped back became untapped.

Speaking of bathtubs, Prof. W. W. Davis suddenly sat down on the floor in the middle of his United States class, and demonstrated the technique of bathing.

Don Moseley has been dubbed the "Hiawatha" of the Phi Delt house. In attempting to help Mrs. Kreamer solve some of her worries about meat points, Don took his shotgun and shot a rabbit from the second story window of the Phi house.

Everywhere that Jim and Helen go,

Topeka—The council of administration meeting of the State Teachers association scheduled for Feb. 1, 2, and 3, at Emporia has been cancelled in compliance with the request of James F. Byrnes, war mobilization director. One thousand school leaders would attend.
Laski's Grammar of Politics? 'Either we have to make a world by deliberate plan, or we court disaster. It is a grim alternative. It makes men feel how near their feet lie to the abyss. But it is also an alternative that may prove the pathway to their salvation.' How much more crucially true today than in 1925 when he wrote the words!

Must Get Along with Russia
Human Race Faces Crucial Test, Prof. Littell Writes from Cornell
"I will go further by way of specific statement. Either we find a satisfactory way to get along on this planet with Russia, or we go over the rim into the abyss, and we deserve to. If the world is not large enough so that two great powers can still live on it in peace, even though their political and economical systems may not be alike, then it is too bad. But neither will learn an iota from the other unless both set the example through the banishment of distrust, fear, and hatred. Russia, through her unbelievable successes in this war, has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of American boys, and we must not throw the same lives, or those of their children away in a foolhardy attack upon the nation that has borne so much of the brunt in the destruction of Hitler's war machine."
An attitude on capitalism and the economic era toward which this war is advancing, similar to that brought out in Dt. John Isse's "The Coming Dark Ages" was expressed by C. F. Littell, professor at Cornell college, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, in a recent letter to Prof. L. J. Pritchard, department of economics.
"Never, it seems to me, has the human race faced so crucial a test as that lying ahead in the next few years, writes Professor Littell. "The terrible losses everywhere have made all sane people utterly sick of war."
"The handling of the crisis is in the hands of our own country and the Soviet Republics, with Great Britain a 'broken reed' except for our contribution of having saved her from destruction a second time within little over a quarter of a century.
"Britain is still playing the game of power politics rather cleverly, building up a Moslem entente; endeavoring to restore the pre-1939 elements to power in all of the countries that Germany over-ran; and courting the favor of Rome by helping to perpetuate the hideous regime of Franco in Spain.

"So we stand again at the crossroads. Something tells me that this is the last chance, so far as our culture and civilization are concerned. Remember the closing words of

Citation May Be Awarded Posthumously to Graduate
A posthumous citation for having completed his mission in spite of difficulties has been recommended for Maj. Dan Flam, who was graduated from the University in 1937, and was killed last September in Holland, when the troop transport plane of which he was pilot overturned and exploded on landing.
Major Elam had completed the dropping of paratroopers over Holland even though one of the plane's motors was shot up and the landing gear damaged.
While at the University, Elam was a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity, Scabbard and Blade, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Tau, and Pi Epsilon Psi. He received his bachelor of science degree in civil engineering in 1937.
He is survived by a wife and two children who reside at Duncan, Okla.
A rifle club at California university was revived last week.
