Peace Attainable If Nations See Mistakes Made After World War I
Although recent reverses on the European front have caused thoughts of peace terms to be subjugated to plans for defeating Germany and Japan, the war's aftermath still looms as even a tougher battle than the one in which we are now engaged. However, if we could only profit by the mistakes of World War I and not so misuse our victory that the war must be repeated in a decade or two, the problem might be an easier one. Let us examine, then, the causes of our previous failure.
Americans have a strange obstinate belief that salvation is to be found in the right kind of constitution or document. This, however, is not true for what many of us fail to realize is that constitutions often fail to bring peace even to persons of the same nation. In the 19th century, there were republics in the western hemisphere which, for whole generations, were racked by revolution, bloodshed, and chaos. These Latin American republics which knew no peace all have very good constitutions, many of which were modelled after our own. The mere possession of such a constitution, however, did not give them the peace enjoyed by the United States.
The failure of the League of Nations was due not only to the fact that the plan was defective, but that the governments and the people refused to fulfill the obligations necessary if any constitution was to work
If certain principles of living together in the world had been recognized by America as well as other nations, peace could have been maintained without any league at all. The most important of these principles is the right to live, which applies to nations as well as persons. This right, however, can be made secure only if men recognize and act upon the obligation to defend others. Unless the right is defended collectively, it can not be defended at all because those threatened by aggression do not act collectively, some strong attacker can defeat them one by one, knowing he will not have to face their combined strength. If aggressor nations knew beforehand that collective forces will fight against them, the aggressors would realize they were beaten before they began.
We must realize, then, that the right of a person or a nation to live involves the obligation to defend that right on behalf of others. If we don't defend others, in the end we won't be able to defend ourselves. It is only through realizing and understanding our weaknesses and mistakes that we will be able to bring about a lasting peace. This cannot be done, however, until every person and every nation is willing to accept the responsibilities that go along with peace-making.
Workshop Choses Ten New Members
Ten new members of the Dramatics Workshop have been chosen from recent tryouts. They are Joan Harris, Patricia Cloud, Marjorie Dinsmore, Clyde Jacobs, Lee Baker, Grace Piros, Rebecca Vallette, Joan Woodward, Patricia Graham, and Louise Brown.
A short meeting of the Workshop will be held at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon in the Little Theater of Green hall, Roberta Sue McCluggage, president, announced. "It is important that all old and new members are present," said Miss McCluggage.
Journalism Graduate Visits
Miss Lucile Kadel, Kansas City, Mo., a graduate of the College in journalism in 1943, spent the day on the campus.
Work of State Office Explained on KFKU
The duties of the office of secretary of state of the state of Kansas were described last night on the "Your Kansas Government" program over KFKU by Miss Frances Ryan, who spoke for Frank J. Ryan, Kansas secretary of state.
Prof. W. E. Sandelius, of the political science department, acted as interrogator.
The functions of the secretary of state are administrative duties and do not involve the determination of policy. Miss Ryan said.
A few of the varied functions of that office include the preparation of a list of all members duly elected to the state legislature, to call the legislative to order at the beginning of each new session, to receive and file all bills, resolutions and petitions introduced, and to have custody of all state records.
Floyd Shoaf, director of the budget, will be interviewed over KFKU at 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 9.
Malin Returns From Meeting Of Historians in Chicago
Prof. J. C. Malin, of the department of history, returned Saturday from Chicago where he attended the annual meeting of the American Historical association held Thursday and Friday at the Stevens hotel. He presented the report of the association's nominating committee.
Carlton J. H. Hayes, professor of history at Columbia university and until recently U.S. ambassador to Spain, was elected president. The convention program dealt principally with contemporary historical topics.
School of Fine Arts to Have Nine More Practice Rooms
Nine practice rooms for the School of Fine Arts are now in construction on the third floor of the west wing of Frank Strong hall. The walls of these rooms are being insulated for sound. This space has been used by the Navy for the past two years.
Rock Chalk Talk
Dr. Joseph Tiffin, Purdue university psychologist, collaborated in development of the rho-rater, a master-machine for testing the eyes.

Thanks to the Navy bigwigs, the V-12's spent a gala New Year's eve shooting firecrackers, throwing mattresses, drinking cokes, and playing tag, while their gals spent a dull evening at home. It's probably the first time in history that so many men, ranging in age from 18 to 25, were all at home at 10 p.m. before the new year.
All this meat: Earl Crawford and other Chanute students seem to be getting a large charge out of the fact that the local meat market of that city has the telephone number 267. Leave it to Crawford to discover that.
Knittin' knotes: Mary Gayle Marsh, Pi Phi, spent just months knitting and ripping out and knitting and ripping out and knitting on a pair of gloves for her Oliver, a former, student at KU. She finally completed the gloves—a lovely shade of olive drab—in time for Christmas, purchased a scarf to match, and took the set with her to the cold Texas panhandle to visit Olie. The gloves fit perfectly, and M.G. returned after vacation all aglow over her domesticity. But, last week, the luckless lass received a long distance call from Biliox, Miss, on the balmy gulf coast, and needless to say, M.G.'s labor of love is packed away, awaiting a transfer to a colder climate.

Typical Freshman
The girl gazed nervously about her as she waited to register in Wait hall at Wake Forest college. Seeing some pictures of Wake Forest buildings on the wall, she picked out one which looked familiar and said to the upperclassmen who stood in front of her, "Oh, I know where that building is!" "That's fine," he remarked cynically. "It hasn't been built yet." (Associated Collegiate Press)

Dr. Ise to Interview Manufacturer Over KFKU

Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt completed plans today for the second great Allied war conference with Marshall Stalin and Prime Minister Churchill. He repeated that the conference would be "soon", probably within the next month, and it is expected to take place near the border of Russia in view of Stalin's insistence that he is unable to leave Russia for any extended time.
