War Loan Drive To Hit Students For More Funds
"My Thinking — My Money — My Time—will stay in this war to the finish" is the theme which has been chosen to epitomize the three phases of the Sixth War Loan drive, begun yesterday. With the Coed Volunteer Corps leading the campaign on the campus, K.U. hopes to reach its share of the 14 billion dollar goal before Dec. 16, the date the drive is to end.
Good war news from the various fronts has been reassuring; yet, in a way, it is almost a handicap at home. As our men close in on Germany and strike increasingly forceful blows against Japan, the thoughtless are inclined to believe the necessity for war-financing is ended. The facts tell a different story.
Military and naval authorities recently stated that it will take at least a year and a half to defeat Japan after Germany is beaten, and this will be accomplished only if we put every bit of American strength behind the effort. The cost of a full-size war must be borne until the enemy who attacked us at Pearl Harbor is completely knocked out.
Freight transportation costs alone are 25 per cent more to the Pacific than to France, according to military economists. In addition, it takes twice as many cargo ships in the Pacific to support a task force of a given size, due to the tremendous distances.
America still has an army and navy of between 11 and 12 million men and women to maintain, house, clothe, and transport. Millions of dollars will also be required for mustering out pay and for various benefits and services to get the boys started in civilian life. A number of these veterans have already returned to enroll in the University of Kansas.
When all these aspects of the war's future are taken into consideration, it is plain to see why the government is urging all Americans—that definitely includes University students—to invest in war bonds to the limit of their buying capacity during the next four weeks.J.F.
For many years, sick, wounded, and otherwise disabled veterans will require medical care and attention. That is the least the United States can do for them in appreciation of what they have done for her.

Rock Chalk Talk
By JOADY HAYDEN
Bottled in Bond: Here is conclusive proof of the theory that the longer you go to school, the less you seem to know. While pinch-hitting for song leader at dinner, Bev Frizzell, Kappa, was asked to start the Phi Gam drinking song. Absorbed in her 3-inch steak (nice dreaming), she poured for a minute, cleared her throat, and began, "Drink, drink, drink, drank, drank, drank, drunk."
Standing on the steps of Frank Strong hall in the grey dawn before morning classes, Anne Young greeted her Chi Omega sister, Neil Legler, who was entering the building with a cheerful, "Hiya, Roommate!" Roommate, lost in concentration, didn't hear her—but "Danny" Dannenberg did. He obligingly replied, "Hi!"

The strain of a pinning on the "pin-eee" can have a remarkable effect on the English language. Take, for instance, the night that "Pebble" Beach, Delta Gamma, announced her engagement. Everyone was rushing through the ice cream with the usual enthusiasm. But "Pebble," anxiously awaiting the appearance of the customary candy and flowers, hid purposely lost her appetite in

Letter to the Editor
Tradition may sound like a lot of hooey to you, but actually it is the one really important element in an institution like the University of Kansas—the one factor that makes a school individual, giving it personality and prestige.
Because of the war, much of K.U.'s tradition — the nightshirt parade, compulsory wearing of freshman caps, the new student indoctrination ceremony, and so on—has been shelved. It remains for those of us who are fortunate enough to be in school in these times to maintain whatever tradition prevails. And are we fulfilling our obligations?
The reason we have failed and are failing to preserve our K.U. traditions is because we—you and I—forget. We're careless. We're even indifferent.
Students at the University know that it is traditional for everyone to remain in the stands after the final gun has sounded at an athletic event to sing our Alma Mater and to give the world-famous Rock Chalk yell. Yet, at Saturday's game, spectators — freshmen, upperclassmen, faculty, alums — began streaming from the stadium five minutes before the end of the game.
Where would K.U. be without its traditions? Stop. Think. And when you do, you will realize that tradition is what makes our K.U. the tops. And what are you doing about it?—Fat Penney
What kind of an attitude do you call that? It would be great if the coaches and team adopted the same policy and left the field because they didn't think that anything exciting would happen in the few remaining minutes of play. The close communication between students and football squad Saturday had been unequaled until the last moments of the game—school spirit was at its height even in the face of overwhelming odds—but at a crucial point we forgot. We laid down on the job. We quit.
Entering the University of North Carolina at the age of 44, Silas O. Nicholson is, with one exception, the oldest freshman Carolina has ever had. Some 20 years ago, Judge Robert W. Winston entered the University as a freshman at the age of 60.

hopes of prolonging the meal. To avoid suspicion, she frantically nudged Carol Stuart, with the remark, "Keet eaping, Keet eaping."
Letter-writing has developed into a major problem. All the complicated abbreviations and titles were cooked up by the armed forces for the puzzlement of the conscientious female. That is the conclusion of Winnie Ice, Theta, anyway. Notice to a kind post office clerk: Please see that a letter addressed to John Dewell, Seaman "1st half," reaches its destination!

The Plot thickens! The childhood practices of looking under beds and avoiding the dark have been renewed since the KKG robbery Monday. It seems that the Gamma Phi's had a similar experience last year and heroine Bobby Sue McCluggage identified the woman who had asked to use their phone one evening as the thief. On being sent to the state "rest home," she vowed revenge on said McCluggage. So Monday night when the French doors began to open and shut by themselves and the "always" locked pantry was suddenly very unlocked, Gamma Phi's concluded that the prodigal had returned.
Coincidence Unites Former K.U. Men
Coincidences do happen, even to former students of the University. Just before they participated in the Philippine invasion, five boys met and discovered that they all had attended K.U. together. These men were Sgt. Elbert E. McGow, Osawatomy; Sgt. Ned A. Martin, Durdett; Lt. Clarence (Bud) R. Peterson, USNR, Larned; Lt. Dan Hamilton, Coast Guard, Topeka, and William Firner, gunmatermate second class, Coast Guard, Lawrence. A picture has been featured in several of the newspapers of Kansas.
