THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Allies Announce Plan To Divide Germany When War Is Over
According to the report, the vanquished land will be divided into three occupational zones. Russia will administer the rule of eastern Germany to the Oder river; the Britons will occupy northwestern Germany; and the United States will send its military government into Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtemberg. The Rhineland will be controlled by England and the U. S., while the affairs of Berlin itself will be jointly supervised by the Big Three.
Probably the foremost question in the minds of the American people besides actually defeating Germany and ending the war in Europe, is what we are going to do with Germany after we beat her to her knees. It is now announced from London that the Russians have finally agreed to an Anglo-American design for the military occupation of Hitler's domain. This can be taken to mean, obviously, that Russia has agreed to a deal in which she will wield a great whip over a large portion of Germany.
This plan completely ignores the problem of reorganizing Germany to take a respectable place among the nations of the world, so that she will not again become an obstacle to world-wide peace. To ignore this point is to leave hot coals in Europe for another conflict to burst into flame.
As the plan stands, it is not going to be especially the tyrannical warmongers, who have usurped the positions of leadership in Germany, who are going to be punished but the common people of the country themselves. By destroying the present leaders of the dominated country it is possible that the common people can build Germany to take a useful place in world society. If, on the other hand and like the plan announced by London, the Allies divide and subdivide her into three separate dominions the commoners of the country will be held to their knees — martyrized — and given merely more thirst to "conquer the world."
Keeping the nation of Germany whole and dictating any plan of social and political reorganization to her as such is the only logical reason for triumphing over her. To divide the nation of now unified Germans, then to divide the dictatorial authorities to rule over these divisions, is to say that a nation can be dissolved by simply cutting her into three parts; a historically proven fallacy.
If the postwar plan coming from London is authentic and is actually the plan agreed upon by the Allies, the framers of the program should tear it up and start all over again since they've missed the real objective in winning the war-DS.
Students' Patterns Will Be Purchased
Five design students received word yesterday that patterns they submitted to the Iroquois China company as suitable for plate designs on hotel dishes had been accepted and would be purchased.
The students are Anne Boltz, Fine Arts senior; Heloise Hilbrand, College senior; Joyce Shook, Fine Arts senior; Jean Porter, Fine Arts sophomore; and Margaret Whitfield, Fine Arts senior.
The Iroquois company wrote the department of design nearly a month ago asking that students who were interested submit designs for hotel ware.
Rock Chalk Talk

Sugar Is Smart, Too: Little Merrill "Sug" Ellsworth, 19 old years, descended upon the Sigma Kappa's last weekend with a beebee-gun and a brain buzzing with brilliant ideas on the finer art of blackmail. From the Navy, "Sug" accumulated quarters and caps; from the Sigma Kappa's themselves, cream puffs, gold-fish, gum, and chocolates.
The escapade came to a climax when "Sug" threw open the door of PT8 and shouted "Is there a sailor in the house?" After gathering them all around him, he told them he had decided to let one of his "mates" take him to see Tex Ritter and buy him popoorn.

Glancing through the Heart Mountain Sentinel of Heart Mountain, Wyo., with its draft stories, PTA notices, church announcements, society column, Letters to the Editor, Round-Up column, One Year Ago This Week column, Leaves, Visitors, and Sport columns, one finds life in a Japanese American relocation center similar to that anywhere else in this country.

During the two months that Maury has been in midshipmen's school the two Muskets have received one postcard, whereas Jody Moore, (a mere female!) receives on an average of three fat letters per day and keeps both the florist and confectioner of Maury's new town working overtime.

In the spring a young man's fancy often leads to the guardhouse: Once upon a weekend there were two very resourceful GI's who found themselves without funds. Said one to the other, "Tis spring, the time of the birds, the bees, and the boys—it's a crime all these sissies are wearing overcoats."
"I see what you mean," said the other. Accordingly the bright boys stacked all the army hangers in the army truck and transported them to the nearest laundry where they were sold for a nominal sum. The fellows have lived happily ever since--between washing dishes.
Lt. Donald Welty, Jr. Says Alaskan Post Fine Place to Be
"A fine post with all the facilities a guy could ask for," is the description which Lt. Donald R. Welty, Jr., a former College student in '42 gives of Sitka, Alaska, where he is now stationed.
With him in Alaska, are Lt. William Monroe, graduate of the School of Business in 1940; and 2nd, Lt. Philip Carder, former College student in 1942, who is now in the Quarteraster Corps in Juneau. Jack Butler, '39, was there but recently rotated to the states, Welty said.
"Not too much work—plenty of time for everything," Lt. Welty declared in his letter to Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association. He said that he was making use of the equipment provided by the Army and Navy for basketball, handball, bowling, skiing, fishing, and hunting.
Lieutenant Welty's address may be secured at the Alumni office, Mr Ellsworth said.
Lt. Robert Wells, a graduate of the University in 1939, received the first commission ever awarded in the battlefield to a member of the Armored forces.
He received his commission as a second lieutenant after action at Bizarre where he captured a German general.
Commission Is Given Grad on Battlefield
Serving in a reconnaissance unit of the first armored division, Lt. Wells received his promotion to first lieutenant while on Anzio beachhead. At that time he was also made company commander.
In February last year, Lt. Wells escaped captivity at Kasserine when his unit was captured by coming through 100 miles of German territory to safety.
