THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Allied Setbacks Give New Year Serious Aspect
As the important and unimportant victories and defeats of 1944 fade slowly out of the limelight, the eyes of the world are focusing on the new center of attraction—1945. This new year takes the stage in much the same grim setting as did 1942.
Then Pearl Harbor had been bombed and the nation was struggling to awaken from its lethargy. It did awaken during the following months, and unity resulted from a strong determination to back the war effort 100 per cent. Immediately war plants sprang up from coast to coast; men enlisted by the thousands in the army, navy, and marines; government agencies organized to carry out rationing; and colored and white employees volunteered to roll bandages, serve as nurses' aides, and work in canteens.
Victory seemed a certainty as a result of this unity of purpose, and too many sat back to wait for the peace they thought we had earned by a few months of work. Interest in matters other than the war soon caused race riots, strikes, and black markets.
This discord which still remains unchecked, combined with the recent Allied setback in the European theater, has once again shaken the nation from its complacency and self-satisfaction, giving 1945 an even greater seriousness than 1942 possessed. Today, instead of making personal and selfish resolutions for the new year, every American should renew his determination to back the war effort in every way possible, not letting up until victory is achieved.
Geltch Will Feature The Volgrich Concerto
Opening the program, Mr. Geltch, accompanied by Winifred Hill Gallup, will play the sonata in B flat from Mozart. His final group will include selections for violin from Ernst, Albrechtsberger, Schumann, Novacek, and Sevcki.
In his annual recital at 8 p. m. Wednesday, Waldemar Geltch, head of the department of violin, will present the little-known Volgrich Concerto, a work of four movements in modern style. This concerto was recently played by the violinist, Mischa Elman.
The recital will be given in Fraser theater.
Flavia Stone Visits Campus on Furlough
Pvt. Flavia Stone, Marine Corps Women's Reserve, and former student in the College, visited the campus this week-end while on 15-day furlough. Her home is in Vinland.
Majoring in English at the University from September, 1941, to March, 1944, Private Stone enlisted in June and has been attending aviation instrument school in Chicago. She will be stationed at Cherry Point, N. C.
Private Stone has a brother and sister in service, both of whom attended K. U. They are Lt. Thomas W. Stone, former Engineering student, who is now a Marine flyer, and Maxine Stone, former College student, now in the Spars.

Rock Chalk Talk
By JOAN HARRIS
This Younger Generation—A junior commando was seated by the Beta housemother in a K. C. street car one holiday. After recounting all his latest cunning little tricks to Mrs. Ogden, he queried, "Do you have any wittle boys wike me?"
Mrs. Ogden replied, "Why yes, I have almost fifty."
Incredulously—and quite loudly—the "wittle boy" said, "You mean you wealy borne all those?"
Fashion Note—Over at the Sigma Kap house Betty "mighty Mite" Emigh proudly displays her new 'jamers fresh from West Point. Seems that one of the Kdets—"Cactus" Lawson by name—got tired of sleeping in his zooo bleep suit and donated it to his favorite five-foot redhead (besides- it's traditional).
Sandy Klawz Visits the Fie Delts—Sam Harris is no doubt getting a big bang out of the water gun his PD brether gave him, for Christmas—"2-Gun Sammy" he was known as in them days—
Corky Baker must find his nice new baby bottle a practical gift—
The prize package of the rather anti-social event, however, was presented to pledge Mat Zimmerman. The Fie Delt fellows gave their fledgling a precious piece of paper with the names and sample lipstick shades of about a dozen Thetas.
This new Theta data establishes Mat as a full fledged Fie Delt connoisseur
Get-acquainted games and refreshments preceded a candielight worship service held just before midnight. Julia Ann Casad had charge of the program, and Miss Erwin lead the service, assisted by Dorothy Wynne, Marjorie Stroup, Kenneth Oldham, and William Swisher. Kathleen Jones read "Ring Out, Wild Bells."

Ideal Girl Is Panned In Poll
Bob Tucker, Carruth hall senior in education, reports that out of curiosity as to how the K. U. man's ideal girl would dress and act, Carruth hall has polled a male cross-section of one-third of the 66 men living in University cooperative halls. Each man was requested to rate, in order of his individual, predetermined preference, nine personality traits, six types of girls' clothing, five dress patterns, and eight dress colors.
When the results were tabulated, certain distinct trends were noted. The final group preference ratings are listed below. The greatest point of agreement was on the subject of blue jeans and shirt, which received a unanimous and emphatic thumbs-down. On the other hand, it would seem that fame and romance lies just around the corner for the sincere, unenlightened girl who ventures out clad in a blue sweater and blue plaid skirt.
Carruth men are anxious to learn the results of similar polls taken among the girls of K. U. or among other groups of men.
The results of the poll are as follows:

cheerfulness, (3) kindness, (4) app
