THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Donnell Election To U.S. Senate Still Undecided
The election, of such major significance in times of emergency and of particular interest to foreign countries, is still in the headlines. True, by this time most of the national and state officers are considered elected, regardless of the relatively few votes uncounted. The election of senator from Missouri is an exception.
With some 21,000 absentee ballots yet to be counted, the Republican governor, Donnell, and attorney general McKittrick, are running a close race. Donnell is ahead by less than 4,000, although he seems to have fortune on his side.
The Missouri election does not concern us Kansans directly, although the political career of Forrest Donnell is of great interest. Four years ago when the election of our former governor, Ratner, depended on absentee ballots, the election of Governor Donnell was even more uncertain. Missourians had claimed his Democratic opponent was governor on the basis of early returns, but the trend of absentee ballots swung his election, too. His majority was only 3.613.
Now in Missouri, the opposite situation is true. Donnell is leading McKittrick by about the same margin in the Democratic opponent had over Donnell four years ago. The 21,000 absentee ballots may swing the election. Donnell may easily be the only Republican to win in Democratic Missouri. He won before, and it seemingly he will again.
In a recent cartoon, the election was pictured as a ship demanding opening of the U.S.A. bridge, which closed after it, resuming traffic with little delay. The ship was still in sight, with Missouri watching it still, waiting for the final decision.

Rock Chalk Talk
"The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men"--But Joyce McCoy feels the old proverb forges the rats —the rats who forgot her. Twenty-three new girls at Miller hall brought on plans for an "initiation service" late Sunday night at the hall, and Joyce was nominated to be "it." The idea was that, after various billfolds, jewelry, and so forth, had been mislaid, "Robber" McCoy was to leave the sleeping porch to the accompaniment of screams from those who knew, and make a mad dash from the house.
So, clad in a fur cap (and we presume other suitable attire, although eyewitnesses failed to mention just what), Joyce made her entrance and exit—and waited. As the cool dawn broke over Mt. Oread Monday morning someone remembered. They had forgotten to let her back in.

Just Call Her Smith---A Gamma Phi freshman seems to be having her share of trouble recently, too. The Daily Kansan is giving her unjust publicity, Marjorie Reich feels.
"Every night the paper carries something like 'Allies Hit Reich'," she complains. "And Monday night was the last straw."
Kansan head — "Pledge Reich to Death."
***
"Some" Resemblance --- Not all the time of Gamma Phi pledges is spent teasing Sister Reich. Shirley Otter guarantees there is dirty work afoot. A few nights ago she retired to find a wardrobe closet reposing in her bed. Undaunted, she turned to the adjoining bed and crawled in with Geraldine Nelson. She had told Gerry the whole story before she discovered her bedmate was a Gamma Phi—mon.

"We Can Dream" --- Saturday night in Topeka found Rosalee Erwin and Jeanne Shoemaker waiting on a corner for fellow YW-YM conference-ers Marge Wright and Patsy Creel, who had stopped to get their pictures taken. Time passed, and Jeanne and Rosie began to get impatient. Then, suddenly, they sighted their companions dashing madly down the street. Flattered that the girls were so obviously sorry to have kept them waiting, Jeanne asked where they had been.
The quartet looked. No soldiers, And Marge and Patsy, chagrined, are wondering if they ran too fast.
"Oh," the reply, "two soldiers were chasing us!"
