TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1944 THE KANSAN COMMENTS Students Work For Free World On Anniversary Friday will mark the fifth annulary of the massacre of Czechoslovakian students in Prague, now observed in free nations of the world as International Students' Day. That day in 1939 all people who believed strongly in freedom of education were shocked to hear about the brutal killing and imprisonment of the resisting Czech students and professors. As college students and freedom-loving Americans, we owe these martyrs more than a pledge and a passing thought. Perhaps their courage and faith to fight and to die for their privilege of seeking truth will clarify our chief purposes for "staying in school while there is a war to be won." International Students' Day is one of the special days, like Thanksgiving, set apart on which noble thoughts and plans are, or should be, concentrated. But it must not stop there. Action is needed now as never before. Education has a deeper meaning for us in these days. Perhaps the American youth will use his knowledge and understanding in the post-war world planning, but possibly he will have also some other job cut out for him before the final victory. Friday will be a day to think, not just that freedom is an American birthright, but that it is a duty and a privilege for which we must fight. We must prepare for the tasks ahead. As President Roosevelt praised it, "In the victory now to be wot and the peace to be secured, there is a practical task for the young people of all countries . . . with the clear eye and firm hand of youth they must help create that better world towards which we strive." International Students' Day and the cooperation it stands for must not be ignored. Mrs. A. J. Mix Has Story in American Writing under her maiden name of Katherine Lyon, Mrs. A. J. Mix, wife of Dr. A. J. Mix of the botany department, has her story "The Altar Cloth" in the December issue of The American magazine. The story is that of a Norwegian pastor who sought to appease the German conquerors in his village in order to keep the church free for his people. He found that there could be no peace in his conscience as long as he compromised. Although she has written for the New Yorker and other publications, this is the first time her work has appeared in The American. Extension Class Gives Dinner in Kansas City Mr. Roy Browning, field representative of the Extension Division, and F. T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, attended the dinner in Kansas City Saturday night at the Muelebach hotel, which was given by the extension class in industrial counseling.

Sixth Loan Quota 98 Million Sixth Loan Quota 58 Million Kansas' quota for the Sixth war loan will be $98,000,000. W. Laird Dean, Topeka, chairman, announced last night. Rock Chalk Talk Mike "Irish" Kuklinski, Phi Delt pledge, answered the phone the other night, and in response to an inquiring Rock Chalk column writer's query for something newsy, decided to play a little joke on pledge trainer, Art Nussbaum. With great gusto, Mike elaborated on the cruel Art, telling how he made the poor, innocent, little dangles hang by their eyelashes if they so much as forgot to curtsey when leaving the house. Tragedv---- With a fiendish chuckle, Mike hung up and turned around to face—you guessed it—Art! Have your eyelashes felt different lately, Mike? * * * Just a gambler at heart---night, and from all reports, it was just GOPs of fun! The Pi Phi's have decided for Dotty Rose Stodder, that she is just going to have to give up her career as a gambler. Dottie made a bet with Jim Conard, Sigma Chi, that if Dewey didn't win the election, the Pi Phi's would serenade the Sigma Chi's. CAROL STUART The pay off was last Thursday IN THE Alum-Lite Abel Stationed at Coffeyville Miss Miriam Abel, journalism graduate of 1942, who resigned her position on the Ottawa Herald to join the Air-Wacs a few weeks ago, has been sent to the Coffeyville air base.

Lieut. Paul L. Smart, class of '36, in the Air Transport Command, is flying transports over the hump, between India and China. He and Mrs. Smart just became parents of a son, Paul Leonard Smart, Jr., and call him Lenny. "We manage to keep busy over here. We have been doing some work in China that took us too darn close to the Japs. We have been playing hide and seek elsewhere," he writes. Howard M. Weindel, a graduate in bacteriology in 1937, and who has been serving as sanitarian for the Douglas County health unit, is being considered for an appointment by the state board of health as chief milk sanitarian.

And did you know that--and Football affects him that way---and If you hear Bob "Precious" Miller, Sigma Nu, running around saying such peculiar things as "Nateh, Ob, Cert," or "Ofca," don't be alarmed. He has an Oakland vocabulary all his own. Also, in answer to a perfectly normal, "Good-by," Bob will never disappoint you in answering with "Ta-Ta." Sweet, isn't it? Dr. John Ise, professor of economics, is four years ahead of everyone else? He walked into class the other day, with a "No Fifth Term Roosevelt" button on. Bob Henry, Fhi Delt, is our candidate for May Queen, and campaigning operations have already begun? For prompt delivery of May baskets, see Bob, but get your orders in early! With so much pulchritude in the family, we hate to see Bob neglected. ROTC Plans Rally For New Trainees Lt.
