Letter to the Editor
A new interest in student government has been developing on the campus and with the approach of a general election has brought many questions into the minds of the hill politicians. Chief among these is the question of whether or not the Navy shall be allowed to vote in the men's election.
To one who was a former student and is now a member of the Navy this question is absurd.
The constitution of the All Student Council says "This Association shall be composed of all students regularly enrolled at the University of Kansas. No regularly enrolled student of the University shall in a discriminatory manner, be denied the privileges of membership."
Are Navy men regularly enrolled students of the University? Regularly enrolled is defined to be "any student enrolled in twelve or more hours of residence work at the university." The Navy men are in residence here! They are all enrolled in at least seventeen hours of work!
Why then has there been an attempt on the part of the party in power to block Navy participation in student government?
They have been willing to have us represent the student body as a football team, a basketball team, a track team, be elected to the honorary societies and participate in all extra-curricular activities, but they are now, three weeks before the election, of the opinion that we are not members of the regular student body.
The purpose of the student association is, " (a) To unite in a single self governing body the students of the University of Kansas and to promote and regulate their extra-curricular activities." We are in every phase of men's extra-curricular activities and in many cases we are that activity. As I have shown you, we are students of the University but to further support and quote from the "Summer Session Kansan," June 8, 1943. "V-12 students will have the same privileges of regular University students, as they may take part in athletic and other University activities which do not conflict with their studies."
But, yet, they say we cannot vote because we do not pay an activity fee and because we are not free agents but are subject to Navy jurisdiction.
Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
Added Apepal—When the Hollywood WAC show descended upon us over the weekend, one of the first requests was for several articles of furniture to be used in Sunday night's production. Miller hall, out of the goodness of its heart, responded immediately, and offered nearly all of the hall furnishings to the group of stars. Perhaps the girls might have dreamed of the possible glory of watching Lon McAllister sitting on one of their chairs, but not in their wildest fits of fancy did they dream the actor would demonstrate the fine points "de amour" in their love seat.
Now the sette is back in the Miller parlor, and Shirley Kelley is hard at work on a sign of explanation—"Lon McAllister Made Love here."
Next?
The Call of Duty—Fi Phi's grand president paid the chapter here a visit last week. The meeting in her honor was duly proper. The gathering became quiet—the G.P. rose to begin her talk—and the phone rang. Pat Williams, who was nearest the disturbing element, picked up the
- - receiver to hear a masculine voice ask, "Is Pat Williams there."
Is this what the constitution guaranteed students or is this a discriminatory attempt to deny five hundred University students of their right to vote?
Wallace Grimes, A/S
Dutifully Pat told the voice, "I'm sorry, she's in meeting now. Would you call back later?"
Are these two points the evidence to bar Navy men from voting or are they the excuses of the majority party to prevent the Navy from voting? Sinceely Yours.
Nowhere in the rules governing the right to vote has a prerequisite of an activity fee been given, nowhere have we been told to cast off our obligations to others and give ourselves over to the complete jurisdiction of a student government. Because we must obey, not only University regulations but also Navy regulations is not reason enough to deprive a man of his right to vote.
(Ed. note: Eldon Means, Pat's ATO steady had left for the west coast with the V-5's a few days earlier).
Just a tip, fellows. Next time trace the call. It isn't often the colonel calls from the Kapna house.
And could you tell us, Miss Williams, what the meeting was about?
Oh, the Cruelty of It All—A good game of—ah, dominoes had progressed well into the heated stages Saturday night, when Maurice Jewell answered the Barracks 'B' phone to hear the well-known voice of an equally well known colonel on the other end. The officer asked, in proper military form, if it would be possible for the medics to send in an overdue report at once. Jewell, caught off guard, stammered some explanation and promised immediate results. The game was forgotten, and the work done before the Army discovered they had been the victim of an imposter.
Anne Nettles Begins Air WAC Training
Anne Nettels, a former member of the department of journalism and a graduate of the University in 1942, left Kansas City last Wednesday to begin her basic training with the Air WAC at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa. After six weeks training in Iowa, Pvt. Nettles will be sent to any army air base.
While a student at the University, Pvt. Nettels was a member of the Quack Club, Tau Sigma and Theta Sigma Phi. She was secretary and historian of Pi Beta Phi. She was also a member of the staffs of the Daily Kansan and the Jayhawker.
Prior to her enlistment in the WAC, Pvt. Nettels was an employee of North American Aviation Company in Kansas City.

NOW SHOWING
Washington, (INS)—Red Cross of officials said Monday that willingness of Japan to accept relief supplies and mail for American war prisoners will result in the release of 1500 tons of food and medical supplies which have accumulated at Vladivostok. Food and medical stock have been sent from time to time to the Russian port, but to date have not gone any further because of the refusal of the Japanese government to permit further transportation to areas where they could be obtained by imprisoned Americans.
