THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Many Women Fail To Take Active Part In Winning War
Because of the comparative good fortune the United States has had so far in this war, the government has not been forced to draft women as the British government had to do. But by all the propaganda devices known, the government continues to urge women to join in the war effort by either enlisting in one of the services or working in an essential war industry.
True, many women have enlisted and many others are working in defense industries, but the need is still great. Part of the lack of mass response to the government's requests can probably be traced to the fact that this war still isn't a do-or-die, all-out affair for the American people.
Even though Americans realize that the biggest battles lie ahead, they are confident of victory, and all-out sacrifice doesn't seem vitally necessary. So, instead of being a direct aid to the war effort, many American women are "waiting it out." Wives, who follow their husbands from camp to camp, are good for morale all right, but they only add to the confusion around army camps. Some of these women find work in the different camp towns, but most of them don't bother.
Another group of women, not so large as the first but equally guilty of doing nothing, are those women who come to college with no special ambition, but just because it is "the thing to do." College men have long laughed at the woman who comes to college for her M.R.S. degree, but the funniest thing is that the man who laughs, often marries her.
The average person guides his actions by the standards set by public opinion. Accordingly, the average woman guides her actions by what her neighbors and friends will think of her—and especially by what her masculine friends will think of her.
So while the government is propagandizing, it might profit well by taking the masculine opinion into consideration. There are still many men who don't believe their wives should work and who don't approve of women in uniform. Such a roundabout propagandizing of masculine opinion, if effective, would probably get much better results than present methods.

Rock Chalk Talk
"Shall We Gather at the River?":
A number of students went down to Ol' Man Kaw Sunday night to see what they could do to keep things under control. Some boys helped pile sandbags and some girls served coffee to the workers. Among the girls who went were Pollock, Burkhead, Kreider and company, Chi O's, who will probably be awarded medals by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. When the dike broke endangering some live stock, these girls heroically rescued some pigs, carrying them out of reach of the water, and drove some cows to safety. Carrying pigs—that's what we call patriotism!

It Started All Over Again: DG's and Phi Psi's had another run-in Sunday morning, with the Delta Gam's taking the initiative this time. About 6:30 a.m. the girls proceeded to the Psi house and posted a sign over the door, "Ladies' Rest Room—Furnished by Phi Kappa Psi."
***
Inside the girls found five cases of coke which the boys had ready for their picnic that afternoon, and these the pranksters carried to the Delta Gam house.
By the time the Phi Psi's arrived in West Hills, the cokes were out of the cases, tied together, and placed in out-of-reach positions. When a Psi would reach up on a shelf to retrieve one coke bottle, a string of them would come tumbling down on top of him. After a mad chase around the house, the Psi's left with a clock and several vases. At the picnic that night, the Delta Gams had to beg—and on bended knee, too—for cokes. And they got the ones that were tied together.

There Are Such Things: Clarke
Henry, DU, and Jason Dixon, Teke
were seen walking on the campus the other day. We don't know where their cars were, but we'll warrant that it was the first time this year that such a thing has happened. Bystanders were so startled to see these two moving under their own power that such gasped remarks as "I can't believe my eyes," and "Pinch me — I'm dreaming" were heard on every side. Must be spring!
***
Where's the Fire??. A great deal of noise and confusion were heard upstairs in the AD Pi house Sunday night; so Bobette Sellers and Betty Isern took it to mean only one thing—fire! They picked up their cigarettes and dashed madly out of the house screaming at the top of their lungs.
Imagine their chagrin when they were told that the confusion was only Bonnie Stutz telling the girls that the man of her life, Skeets, was back in the States after a 13 months' absence. Bobbie and Betty were evidently worried about their cigarette supply, for cigs were the only thing they thought about salvaging from the "burning" house.
