TODAY'S EDITORIAL Poles Carry On Secret Education
One of the most important features of the national resistance to the Germans by the subjugated Poles has been in the form of secret education. All stages of higher education in Poland, from high school through university work, are carried on underground. A secret school administration has been set up to direct and unify the work. The Polish Underground pays teachers' salaries and provides the necessary text books, printed by the underground press, and issues special school and matriculation certificates.
Secret education in Poland flows through two channels: strictly "illegal" schools and the secret extension of the teaching programs in those schools which are still allowed to exist. The second method is fairly simple in primary schools. Although history, religion, Polish language and culture are strictly banned by the Nazis, these subjects are taught even though the children themselves hardly realize that it is being done. Difficulties increase greatly at the secondary level of education.
In a nursing school, for instance, students were secretly given a regular medical course. A German inspector came to the school for the final examinations. Things went off fine, until the Nazi waved the teachers away and proceeded to examine the girls himself. He questioned the girls as he would have done medical students. The answers came smoothly, even as the questions grew more difficult. The inspector realized he had in front of him future doctors, not nurses. Enraged, he strode out of the school. The next day large posters appeared on the school's bulletin boards, doors, walls, practically everywhere: "The students are strictly forbidden to overstep the official teaching program approved by the German authorities."

Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
She Who Laughs Last—One morning last week when Dr. F, C. "Phog" Allen rode his bicycle to his office, he was met by Dorothy Hagland, secretary to Dean Stouffer, who asked to ride the wheel. A little dubious of the young woman's ability to stay on a bike, "Phog" played for time.
Dean Lawson and H. B. Latimer anatomy professor, came up and added their names to the riding request list. Faced by these demands, "Phog" had to let Miss Haglund ride. Much to the amazement of the three men, Miss Haglund, all dressed up in her spring finery, jumped on the bike and sailed off. Her answer to their astonishment was, "I wore out two tricyles and wo bicycles in my day."

In Memoriam — Chi Omegas are wearing long faces this week as proper mourning for the two inmates who have departed. Gus and Delmont have died, and now only Oliver is left.
For two weeks entertainment has been furnished on the second floor of the chapter house by the trio, Gus, protege of Betty Nichols, so named "because he looked the part;" Delmont, charge of Anne Young, who bore the middle name of a certain Naval Aviation Cadet; and Oliver (Twist), childpool of Neil Leger, who "looks picked on." But now
Gus and Delmont have passed on, from causes unknown (although it is suspected they are too much). Perhaps fate was kind in sparing Oliver at least, but, after all, what fun is one goldfish?
The Glorious State — Vinceum Christ is the self-affirmed victim of a practical joke that backfired. Last weekend the Navy medic went home to Leavenworth, and Sunday friends at KU received a wire announcing his marriage the night before to his home town girl. Vine even named the best man, Robert Smith, V-12 of PT 2.
Currently the medic has been seen camped on the steps of Joliffe hall, making avid explanations. Let's see, what is that old proverb about eating your cake and having it too?

BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY Kansas City Coca-Cola Bottling Company
To visiting Russian and British Allies, the good old American invitation Have a "Coke" says We're with you. And in your home, there's no finer welcome to friends than Coca-Cola from your own refrigerator. Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes,—has become a symbol of democratic friendliness to people around the globe.
It's natural for popular names to acquire friendly abbreviations. That's why you hear Coca-Cola called "Coke,"
