THE KANSAN COMMENTS Salvage Drives Need Citizens' Support Rock Chalk Talk
Although they mass their energies and resources to work at war-time jobs and support bond drives, a large percentage of citizens lapse into a lethargic state whenever salvage drives are launched. Too many people every day throw away tin cans, bottles, old newspapers, the things which if delivered to the right sources would be a direct aid to winning the war.
The most notable failure of Americans to meet their salvage quota has been in the case of newsprint. In November, the War Production Board set the goal at 155,000 tons a week, and not once has this goal been reached. Considering the number of circulars, newspapers, old letters, and cartons that are burned as trash every day it's ironic that the United States should fall short of her quota. The unsalvaged paper that might put the campaign over the top depends on little items contributed by each family. An all-out participation is needed to make the drive a surress.
Calls for used fats and greases have met with the same response. True, there are those who salvage all the greases they can, but others habitually pour grease down the sink when it is of no further use to them. Yet, the need for glycerine made from fats increases.
A new drive for tin cans is in progress. Will people follow directions and do their share, or will they throw their tin cans in the trash barrel for the garbage man to haul away?
The reason for the public's passing up an opportunity to contribute directly to the war effort may be due partly to laziness. Certainly, it takes time to drain fats, bundle newspapers, and flatten tin cans. Need More Contests
Tin Can Drive in Progress
On the other hand, citizens may not have the incentive they need for participating in salvage drives. In such case, some public-spirited citizen should start a contest which would arouse interest and excite citizens' imaginations, play on local pride, even pit town against town. He might also be responsible for putting waste paper cans in public buildings and along the streets so that persons might throw candy bar wrappers and other papers in them instead of on the street.
True, salvage drives aren't glamorous. They require time and effort for which the usual compensation is merely the good feeling of having personally contributed to victory. Each of us is in this war, and each individual can help determine the result. The enviable records set by the public in the steel and rubber scrap drives and war bond campaigns have proved that citizens can rise to the occasion. They can't afford to fall down now.J.I.

Cest La Guerre—An anonymous female Voice called the Chi Omega house Monday night and asked for Bev Bohan.
"I'm sorry," Aloise Brown told her, "She hasn't come back from Coffeyville yet."
"Well, do you know when she'll be back?" the Voice asked.
"I suppose when the flood waters go down," was the reply.
"Well, eh---" was the dead-earnest request, "Do you know when that will be?"

The way these big business financiers, led by president Dick, are going at the project the game should bring in decidedly more than a Small Fortune.
(P.S.) The football fracus at Haskell Saturday, sponsored by the University "K" Club, should be a good game.—Adv.

Rest in Peace—John Marshall John Moore Co-op, was having a hard time getting his required allotment of morpheus last week. It seems his bunk sagged in the middle, causing bed-mate, John Scurlock, student court justice to roll over and entwine himself about Marshall in a most unwluerly-like fashion. Finally the desperate Marshall approached the dorm with several cans of tomatoes in his arms and a gleam in his eye. Propping the cans under the drooping middle of the bed he proceeded to enjoy his first good sleep in some time.
In Memoriam—It came originally from the physiology department. It has seen changes since then.
'IT' is an aged manikin, slightly
beat, which was stored some weeks
ago in the bacteriology storeroom. Ingenious students discovered the Hidden Talent recently, and, after swathing the model in a white surgical dressing gown and towel turbin, dubbed their masterpiece "Hector Heartbreak." The name changed almost immediately to "Hector Hoak, Carl's Little Brother," in shining tribute to Carl Hoak, freshman medic, and instructor in the department.
Daily the shrine grows, by the addition of signs expounding the Works and Discoveries of the renowned medic (most specifically, recent experimental difficulties with a certain black rabbit).
The unappreciative attitude of the toasted Hoak has been interpreted by bact designers as mere modesty. Anyone in the department can tell you the masterwork is done with extraordinary skill!

At Long Last-The department or journalism has been rendered a great service by the Press Club.
Hong East—The department of journalism has been rendered great service by the Press Club. For decades Samuel Bowles II and Charles A. Dana, pioneer journalists, have been gazing from their gilded frames in room 102 of the Shack at obscure points on the west wall of the room. Generations of students have watched their cold-shoulder attitude. And in all that time, Sam Bowles has never even as much as cast a glimpse on "Chuck" Dana and vice-verse.
So, for their project of the month Press club members remedied the situation. With deft precision they reversed the portraits, and for the first time Mr. Dana is able to look Mr. Bowles in the eye. The observer must bear in mind, however, that the picture on the right labeled Bowles is really Mr. Dana who was originally on the left, and the countenance on the left is really that of Mr. Bowles who was on the right, and not Mr. Dana as labeled.
John Blocker Is Editor Of Accountants' Handbook
John G. Blocker, professor of accounting, is listed as a contributing and consulting editor of the "Cost Accountants' Handbook" which was published this month by the Ronald Press company of New York.
The handbook, comprising 1,482 pages, is the first comprehensive and authoritative codification of the principles and techniques of cost accounting. It deals primarily with cost accounting for manufacturing industries, and its usefulness will extend to the engineer, the production staff, the general accountant and the management of both large and small business concerns, Professor Blocker, said.
