THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Forums Board Acts To Promote Interest In World Affairs
Acting on the authority granted it in 1937 by the Women's Self Governing Association and the Men's Student Council to sponsor lectures, debates, political unions, or other means of public discussion and education which would facilitate the examination of world affairs and local and general social problems, the Forums board has become one of the more active organizations on the campus.
With a membership of six students selected from representatives of the All Student Council and campus discussion groups, the board is qualified to determine the best method to employ in carrying out the objectives outlined in the 1937 charter.
One of the first programs launched this year by Forums board was free movies. Motion pictures will be shown on alternate Thursday nights for the rest of the semester. Since the movies were selected for their educational as well as entertainment value, they have supplemented classroom work in several courses.
Unable to present a series of lectures by prominent men because of wartime conditions. Forums board was able to bring Norman Thomas, former Socialist candidate for president, to the University recently for three speeches.
Plans to sponsor panel discussions were abandoned when lack of student body interest made them inadvisable. Radio programs, which had been an important part of the Forums board's activities, were discontinued this year, also.
In the face of abnormal conditions, Forums board has done a remarkable job of educating the student body in world, national, and local affairs and problems. Capacity crowds at Forums board programs indicate that students appreciate the advantages offered them by the organization and are willing to cooperate with the group.
The Forums board has potentialities as an important educating influence on the campus. Its program should be expanded—J.J.

Rock Chalk Talk

Just Never Judge a Woman: Gamma Phi pledges took vicious satisfaction in a stunt night they put on for the amusement of their worthy actives. At the conclusion of one number, it was announced that the next number had just started in some far corner of the house, and when an announcement is repeated from some 20 pledges it can be rather wearing on the constitution. To add to the actives discomfort, their "model pledge," Letty Gibbs, "one of our sweetest, most lovable pledges," portrayed a drunken you know what.

Oh. Lovely Faith!: In Money and Banking class, Professor Pritchard was attempting to impart the advantages of credit to his doubting students. On the following definition Professor Pritchard rested his case: "Credit is just plain faith, like faith at the altar, faith for things you hope to be and for sights unseen."

Fetchingly attired in tux coats, bow ties, cords, and saddles, the Phi Psis brought out the traditional feudin' hatchet and proceeded over to the Theta house to serve dinner Friday night. The fellows did up the annual occasion with true Psi technique.
Early in the evening, Gene Kittle covered himself with glory when he courageously and coolly killed a huge bull snake (now how did it get there!) bare-handed—with only a gun. Later on, this same fine lad
avenged the honor of old Phi Psi by firing pointblank at Barbara Barber, who sacrilegiously led the Thetas in singing the Beta lullaby.
During a lull Earle Crawford, dashing man about campus, loudly called for a certain girl to stand up. Timidly, a rushee rose to her feet, whereupon the great Crawford muttered "Just wanted to see what you looked like before we started our date."
Climax of the evening came when R. J. Atkinson carried in the chocolates and conducted his own pinning ritual with Betty June Sullivan.

War Casualty: George Downing, V-12 who is famous for his jivin' feet, startled friends and admirers at the recent Gamma Phi formal by dancing according to Emily. It finally came to light that poor old George had just spent a day in the awkward squad which, as every good sailor knows, is a fiendish punishment including callisthenics, marching, etc. But came the last number of the evening and George was prevailed upon to give an exhibition number to put all would-be jitterbugs to shame. The latest bulletin hopefully promises that Downing will recover the use of his limbs.
