TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1944 KANSAN COMMENTS Question of United Nations Council Discussed by Political Leaders Recent military gains against Nazi forces have brought the issue of a United Nations council into the political spotlight in the past few weeks. When queried as to whether such a council, if it be formed at all, should be organized now or after the war, nine of eleven leaders of peace and political organizations have replied "Now." The answers, which were gathered during the summer by the United States News, national news magazine, emphasized the advantages of forming an organization while the problems and the costs of the war make the recognition of the need outweigh the petty and divergent interests which keep nations apart, and pointed out that actions and decisions are already being made which affect the character and possibilities of an international organization. Adopting this opinion as their policy was the Federal Union of Democracies, a group which has as its goal "The Strongest Possible World Organization." Clarence K. Streit, president of this Federal Union, answered: Letter to the Editor To the Editor of the Daily Kansan: Editor's Note: All "Letters to the Editor" must be signed. The name will be withheld from publication upon request, but the editor must know who wrote it. Congratulations on telling "our friend" from the most noble (?) state of Texas just what K.U. really thinks of his letter to Life. I'm from out of state myself, but I haven't found anything "wrong" at all with "these corned Kansans" as Mr. Borst puts it. It would seem that all the Texan acquired from many years of eating Texas steer is just a good share of bull-headedness. Couldn't this be possible? Appreciative Sailor. Ed. Note — This reply was received in response to Monday's editorial on a comment made by a Texas lad about Kansas girls. Quigley to Speak At YMCA Dinner The annual YMCA fellowship dinner will be held Tuesday evening at the Plymouth Congregational church, Luther Buchele, president, has announced. The speaker will be E. C. Quigley, University director of athletics. All members of the YMCA are urged to attend, Buchele said. They may get tickets by presenting their YMCA membership cards at the Y office in Frank Strong hall. There will be no charge for the tickets. The dinner will begin promptly at 6:15. Former Student Returns After Reported Missing Lt. Jack Brownell, former student at the University, is at his home in Wichita on a 30-day leave, after serving overseas in the European theater. Brownell, who is in the Air Corps, was reported missing in action after having been shot down over Rumania this summer. He was visiting on the campus Sunday and expects to return before he reports for duty. "It should be established during the war. . . The Big Four this time are even harder to lift than the Big Four of 1918, whom we tried to weld after the heat was off. But even though formed, the proposed World Council will go Geneva's way if it is not made effective by the Atlantic democracies in it uniting much more closely, in one Great Federal Republic. "And now, now when we, the British, French, Dutch, Belgians, Danes and Norwegians, must together invade Europe, now when both our future peace and the price we pay for it in life depend on how tightly we unite, now when the Russians, Chinese, and others have so much to gain from a Federal Union of the West—now is surely the time to form that Free Union." BUY U.S. WAR BONDS BUY U.S. WAR BONDS Whether this stand is taken by the majority of American people, or whether they believe that any decisions made or policies established at this time would be grossly unfair, prejudiced and short-sighted, consequently leading to another outbreak of universal hostilities, has yet to be decided. Soldiers Overseas Nervous in Movies With War Theme American soldiers in foreign service are so used to falling prone at the whine of a shell or the whistle of a bomb that the realistic bomb noises in a movie wreck their nerves according to William Feeney, Daily Kansas managing editor in 1942, now in Belgium. "When I heard the too-familiar whistle (during battle front movie) I could feel myself tighten, and it took considerable effort to keep from flopping to the floor." Feeney wrote in a letter to Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the department of journalism. "Some of these things won't be easy to forget, and a lot of boys have seen much more than I have." Feeney said the reception of the Yanks in Belgium was marvelous. People stood in the cold, pelting rain to watch them come in. He said he met a realative of the editor of an underground paper, and he has obtained copies of the paper. "The Belgian girls are beautiful, almost without exception," Feeney added. William Norris, former student at the University, president of the Sigma Chi fraternity in 1943, and active in Pachacamac, has been commissioned a lieutenant in the Marine Corps. He received his commission Sept. 29, and was graduated in the upper 10 per cent of his class.

Rock Chalk Talk By PAT PENNEY A few days after classes began, Don German, Army Medic, was sitting over at the Chi O house, chatting with Marg Kreider. Some of the other girls came into greet Den, whom they had not seen since last spring, and Don, being politely conversational, inquired: "Well, how was rush week? Didja' get a fine bunch of girls?" "Sure did, Don," replied the proud Chi O's. "Have you met any of the girl's?" Unthinkingly, Don exclaimed, "Oh yes. I saw 'em all over at the hospital, and they sure are a good looking bunch!" Dead silence— while Don quietly blushed. At the second try-out for Dramatics Workshop, Mr. Crafton, head of the Speech Department, was explaining to B. Ann Brown, Gamma Phi pledge, that she was to say, as best she could, the line, "You've found out a lot of things, but you'll never find out who's the father of my child!" B. Ann ascended to the stage, composed herself, and cried out dramatically, "I've found out a lot of things, but I'll never find out who's the father of my child!" We'd say Miss Brown was a bit confused. Freshman walk-outs hit a new high this year, with frush throwing tradition aside and introducing the most diabolical of ideas yet to hit the campus. The Theta pledges walked-out at 7 a.m. on Monday KANSAS FIGHTS KANSAS FIGHTS Miss Ellsworth to Address Iowa Teachers' Meeting George Price's new omnibus of cartoons Fewer Fraternities at Wisconsin Since 1925 the number of fraternities at Wisconsin has dropped from 52 to 36. Miss Maude Ellsworth, assistant professor of art education, will leave Lawrence this evening for Council Bluffs, Iowa, where she will take part in the Southwestern Iowa Teachers' Association program. She will speak before both kindergarten, primary, and elementary sections Thursday afternoon after appearing at a luncheon meeting that day. She will speak twice Friday. The Southwest Missouri Teachers Association, meeting at Springfield, Mo., Oct. 11 and 12, has engaged Miss Ellsworth to speak to its meeting before a general session, and in the art department. Seventy officers and men of ships company of the Navy V-12 unit and naval training school of the University of Kansas were guests of Lt. A. H. Buhl at a dinner and decommissioning party at the Dine-A-Mite last night. (continued from page one) Robert Turner, William Kanaga, Lloyd Eisenhower, Lois Harkerloo, Clark C.

H. Buhl Gives Navy Party ASC PLANS---with the Phi Gam pledge class, leaving a trail of destruction behind. THE BOOK NOOK IS IT ANYONE WE KNOW? (continued from page one) Tel.666 Among other things, they filled the bathtubs with molasses and threw all the actives' tooth-brushes in, discharged the kitchen help, cut the water off, removed all fuses, and, in general, messed things up. The wise actives, having learned of their planned walk-out the night before, woke the pledges at 2 a.m. and removed all their bobby pins from their hair—then carefully locked themselves in their rooms. The Phi Gams threw water in Mark Costello's face, put honey on Vic Costello, and ran out of the house yelling "Fire!" They descended on PT-4 and routed Granny and Sparky from their well-earned Navy sleep with douses of cold water. Having met and had breakfast with the Theta pledges at the Eldridge, the kids all drove around the campus wildly announcing their freedom by the unreserved blowing of horns. Just to show how confused and excited they were, George Waitt, Fiji pledge, confessed to having driven around the campus in the rain with his windshield wipers on and the top of his car down! The rest of the day was spent at Lake Linge outside of Topeka, where a great, large-sized time was had by all. The Theta arrived back in Lawrence Monday night, but the Phi Gams did not show up until class time Tuesday a.m. Retaliation of the various actives will, no doubt, be quite sufficient! Miss Scotthorn Is Recovering Miss Margaret Scotthorn, who was injured in an automobile accident Monday, was able to go home from the Lawrence Memorial hospital last evening.
