Finland Snubs Peace Proposals
Many Americans feel sorry for Finland, few understand that country's relationship with Russia. Finland has been built up as a small sturdy nation, conscientious, in paying her debts to the United States, as gallant in her struggle against Russia, and now as helpless against German troops in her territory. But today Finland is stubbornly refusing to accept Russian terms, stubbornly refusing to help end this war.
As a result of the first Russo- Finnish war of 1939-40, Finland lost eleven per cent of her territory. During the recent armistice negotiations, Russian demands no more territory. She asks for no change in the Finnish government. And she promises removal of Russian troops after military operations cease. Demobilization and the question of reparations are to be discussed at a later date.
Russia asks that the German troops be interned. But this is not unreasonable. She has offered the aid of Russian troops to control the Germans in Finland, if Finland so desires. Those persons in the United States who say Finland is afraid of the German troops in her country, have no argument left. Others think the small country might starve if Germany withdrew her food supplies, but Sweden has more than once offered to help her neighbor in such a situation.
Poor little Finland has no friends. How untrue! Helpless little Finland will be swallowed up by some big power. Russia's fair negotiations and terms disprove this statement. Perhaps Finland is too proud to admit her mistake, and too stubborn to remedy it. It can only be hoped that German-occupied countries in Europe respond differently to an allied liberation—A.LR.
War Accelerates Development
Scientists say that the war has condensed fifty years of normal development in the technique of weather forecasting into two or three years.
Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
The Army Is So Inconsiderate—Sigma Chi moved back into the chapter house last weekend. The redistribution process seemed to the Thetas a fine chance to illustrate their good neighbor policy, so Friday night three pledges, armed with the handiwork of Kappa Alsha Theta-s inscribed "Woglin Beta Theta Pi," and "For Sale Cheap. See proprietors at KAT" headed for the house next door with the very best of intentions.
Busy at work (the time, near closing hours) the pledges did not realize they had an audience until they heard a noise from within. It couldn't be the S Chis, happy somewhere with their dates, reasoned the three; no, it had to be army—troops and troops of it. In haste the decoration job was completed, and three trembling KATs made a beeline for home.
Came the dawn over Tennessee Street, and expectant Thetas peared from their windows to find—every sign face down on the ground. And, to add insult to injury, further investigation has disclosed the troops and troops of the U. S. Army were two stray medics, plenty noisy and handy with tools.

"Just Walk Right In" — While Thetas on the hill struggled with weighty problems, two other Theta pledges managed to work themselves into a state of confusion in Ottawa. Elaine Wells went home for the weekend with the understanding that sister, Nancy "Sashie" Freeto, was to join her there Saturday afternoon. The 3:30 bus arrived, and Sashie was not on it. Knowing there was not another until evening, Elaine spent the afternoon with a
friend, and returning home about dinner time, unlocked the front door, leisurely wandered to the kitchen door, and unlocked it also, in the quest of something to eat.
There at the kitchen table sat Sashie, covered with dust and calmly studying. In answer to Flaine's gas she explained, "There was a special bus that got in at 4 o'clock. The house was locked so I climbed in a basement window, but the kitchen door was locked too, so I've been studied."
We're glad she was studying!

To Those Concerned — It's not blackmail—yet—but in case the information is of value, his name is Rex Goudy; he lives at PT-8. It might be blamed on a very good camera. Or it just might be blamed on the very good sunbaths the Kappa and Watkins hall girls take. It might also be said, they're very good pictures!
The Meaning of Dreams — But perhaps it is just a little obscure in this case. Several people, and especially her Gamma Phi sisters, noted that one day last week Mary Ann Glad, new G Phi prexy, was sporting unusually straight hair. The reason? It seems that sometime along about the middle of the night Mary Ann dreamed someone told her the boys were all coming home from Australia, and she should be sure to look her best. Eager to comply, Mary Ann sat up, took all the pins out of her hair, placed them in a neat pile beside the bed, and went back to sleep.
