PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS MONDAY, MAY 8, 19 TODAY'S EDITORIAL ☆ ☆ ☆ Food Supply Cuts Home-Front Problem Man's heart may not really be in his stomach but the two are close together. Doubtlessly one of the most widely discussed topics during wartime is food. Especially in these times the subject of food has become almost a mania with people. The huge sales of vitamin pills of all varieties is indicative of the general concern over diet. The O.P.A. announcement last week that most meats will no longer be rationed lifted questions from the minds of all those made happy by the surprise. How is it we suddenly have meat in plenty? The problems of rationing food, supplying our armed forces overseas with food, and lending our allies food are by no means problems of only this war. It is extremely difficult to estimate the amount of food necessary for different populations, civilians, and fighting men. After the last war, thousands of dollars worth of food from the United States was left as a surplus in France. This war is being fought on a much larger scale. Also more is known and been published about balanced diets. Civilians and men in uniform are fed more scientifically today. The present surplus of meat is chiefly due to an over-estimation of the needs of our fighting forces and allies. How much better it is, however, to have extra food than to want for enough food. Now that we can have all the meat we want, all the coffee we want, and sufficient sugar, perhaps our griping and greediness will cease. At least one Black Market will be eliminated and its participants ruined by the new O.P.A. rule. Americans should indeed feel fortunate for, in a world of starvation, they have only to choose what they want for their three square meals.—A.R. Get Tax Exemption Too WAVES and WACs get the same income tax exemption as men in uniform. Rock Chalk Talk Some work had to be done on the Jayhawker, so Editor Mary Morrill and Chi O Bev Bohan donned jeans and pigtails Saturday night and went to the office in the Union. (May it be noted early in the story that the ISA formal was an event of Saturday night.) About 11:30 Mary and Bev rubbed their eyes, and decided to call it a day. They pulled their lumberjackets around them, and made a mad dash for the basement entrance of the Union. It was locked. Meanwhile the intermission of the ISA dance had begun. Couples streamed into the Union fountain for a coke. Avoiding stares flashed in their direction, the two tore upstairs for some avenue of escape. At the top were Phi Psis Earle Crawford and Wayne Hird, just breezing in for a coke, who saw Mary, rushed over and said in unison, "What a lovely formal you have on this evening, Miss Morrill; may we have this舞?" By LIZ BAKER. How to Play Bridge in Two Easy Lessons. Lesson number I. (It may be added that the door seemed far, far away). V-12's Jack Schroll and Wally (Boomer) Grimes play bridge together, but rarely. It seems that Wally is addicted to some sort of personalized bidding. (He picks out every card numbered between the deuce and seven, throws them up in the air, and the suit he picks up first is the one he bids. After several futile attempts at the conventional style, earnest partner Scroll threw up his hands in goshawful horror, and with a stricken whisper, remarked, "Look here old boy Boomer. I hate to be obvious about this but why don't you bid your strongest suit???" after which there is no record. *** Lesson number 2—June Ashlock, Corbinite, has been understandably excited since she learned that her man of the moment, Jerry Dick, was back in the U.S. from foreign duty. She has since been hoping that he would arrive in Lawrence before long. Dick hasn't as yet, arrived. But June is still hoping. So the other night, while playing bridge, June dealt out the 52 cards, picked up her 13, looked at them, looked around the table, and calmly stated, "What is trumps, please?"
