THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Board of Regents Should Reconsider Ruling Against Neisi
In the bloody days before the Civil war, Kansas won a place for herself in history books as a hardy, pioneering state. The early settlers fought to the death for what they believed, and they believed in the freedom which our Constitution grants every man. Future historians need save no place in their unwritten books for the pioneering spirit of Kansas in this war, for we in Kansas are far behind our neighboring states in pioneering these days.
Our neighboring Universities of Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado have long since opened their doors to American citizens of Japanese descent. But Kansas, the state where the leaders of the people used to fight for moral issues, bars Japanese-American students from attending any of the state-owned schools.
Board Refuses to Reconsider
It is hard to believe that Kansans as a whole are prejudiced against the Neisi. these Neisi whose brothers are fighting abroad for America, their homeland. The truth is that the Board of Regents of the state took action nearly two years ago to keep Japanese-American students out of the state schools of Kansas. This was at the time of the furor on the west coast and the relocation of the Japanese-Americans.
Since then persons in the state, who see the issue in its significance as a future problem, have attempted to have the Board of Regents reconsider its decision. One of the more recent attempts was that of President Eisenhower of Kansas State College, who made the request on behalf of his students; but he also failed.
Surely such well-educated persons as the Board members aren't prejudiced against the Neisi, and surely they realize that in the long run discrimination against any class of persons is always a detriment to the peace of a country. What, then, are the Board members waiting for? What are they afraid of?

Rock Chalk Talk
By PAT PENNEY
It took quite some time for the significance of the occasion to sink in last week when Peggy Smith, Alpha Chi, put out V-12 Phil Butler's Sigma Chi pin. Since the housemother was out that night, the candy was brought into brand new Alpha Chi president, Joan Powers, who was seated for the first time in her new capacity at the head of the freshman table. The card "Peggy and Phil" was read, and everyone was thinking how nice it was of Peggy and Phil to send candy to the new prexy. Light finally dawned when the flowers were brought in and the ceremony got under way.
Holiday for spring: Clarence Engle, pride of the ASC and Beta Theta Pi, is now at home leisurely enjoying his spring vacation. Engle, indignant on finding that many other schools were having spring holidays, took matters into his own hand and left for parts unknown a week ago. Teachers and classmates are anxiously awaiting his return.
Imagine Pi Phi Betty Bredouw's surprise when the phone rang yesterday and a strange male voice
said, "Betty, this is Bob Seggerman. I'm on my way through to Fort Riley, and I'd like to come by to see you." All the amazed girl could manage to say was, "But you can't be!"
However, he definitely could—and did! The story behind the story is that Betty received a letter about two weeks ago from a strange soldier at Scott Field, Ill., telling her that two different boys in two different places had told him to be sure to look up a certain blond bombshell named Betty Bredow in Lawrence, Kans., if he ever happened to be passing through.
The letter went on to say that he was almost certain that he was to go to Ft. Riley soon, and he would like to write—then come by to see her, if the opportunity presented itself. Opportunity definitely knocked, and the man of mystery did call just as Betty sat peacefully in the Pi Phi smoker re-reading his last letter. Bob left last night for Ft. Riley, but Betty's sisters are betting that he'll be back—and soon!
The way to a woman's heart: Dick Parcell, former KU student and Sigma Nu, spent some time in Lawrence during the course of a recent furlough to renew a high school acquaintance with Jean Richardson of Jolliffe Hall. Every night after Dick left, he would call Jean up for a good night chat, and every night
Court Upholds NLRB Ruling
Washington, (INS) — The supreme court ruled yesterday that the employers must bargain with a labor union designated as a bargaining agent even though the union has lost the majority, and even though the majority have asked the employer to bargain independently. The high court upheld an order of the National Labor Relations Board to the Medo photo supply corporation of New York, to bargain with the union.

So the gallant Dick would hire a taxi, go back out to Jolliffe in the dead of night, and bring the girls food. How to get the food into the dorm proved no obstacle for these ingenious—and hungry—creatures, who tied a string around Cricket Stenger's toe, weighted it down with a clothes brush, then lowered it out the window to Dick who tied on the food. He even provided napkins and toothpicks—it must be love.
