THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Foreign Scholars Look to America For Post-War Study
The universities and colleges of the United States, with their army and navy training programs, are surviving this war in better condition than any other seats of higher learning in the world.
Ravages of war have caused higher education to be virtually abandoned in Europe. Early in the war, both China and Russia moved their schools to the comparative safety of their hinterlands. The story of the trek of Chinese students, carrying their universities with them as they retreated into western China has become well known to students everywhere.
Education Still Accessible Here
Education Self Accessible Here
Through the World Student Service Fund, students of all nationalities and even refugees and prisoners in camps have been able to continue their quest for knowledge in spite of the war.
As usual, Americans are the lucky ones in comparison with others in the world. Only a few of our colleges have been forced to close. It is still possible for civilians to get as much education as they wish, and the navy gives its future officers a college education through the V-12 program. There have been changes in colleges, all right, but they have been comparatively slight. Competition Should be Strong
Competition Should be Strong
Because the scholastic halls of this country are standing up so well under the war, prominent educators are predicting that there will be a run on United States colleges by foreign students after the war. It is not at all unlikely that governments of foreign countries will send their most intelligent young people to America to become educated in order that they may return to their native lands to rebuild their own colleges.
The foreign students who will come to America to be educated will be scholars, and competition in the postwar college should be strong enough to satisfy the most exacting professor.

Embarrassing Moments Department: Don Diehl, Beta V-12, leaving a sorority house at closing hours, went out to the back driveway and climbed into a parked car which he thought he recognized as Purple Passion, pride of Brother Tuck Sifers. (Tuck was still saying goodbye). Once in, Don had a feeling that he was not alone—in fact that he was sitting on someone's lap.
After some confusion, the three (a soldier, Don, and the soldier's date on whom he was sitting) got disengaged in time for the latter to make closing hours. All this time, the Purple Passion was two cars down.
The latest in mimeographed lines: Corbin girls have been receiving lots of strange letters, all from the same soldier. So far, none of the recipients has been able to figure it out.

Court Decides Schaefer Case
John Scurlock, justice of the Student Court Advisory Board, recently handed down the following decision on the appeal by Virginia Schaefer, College senior, who was declared ineligible to sit on the All-Student Council by the Student Court.
Naming cadavers has always been a popular practice among medical students, but no name has ever before provided the inspiration that Bill Mowery, Dick Dreher, and others seem to get from calling their blonde female specimen "Joyce" after a comely Theta.
The Combined Court, consisting of the Student Court and the Faculty Advisory Committee, has heard the petition of appeal from Peterson v. Schaefer and unanimously affirms the decision of that case. It is felt necessary, however, that we here consider one of the several arguments which were presented because of the particular relevancy of that argument to the power of the Court.
Any intelligent student upon carefully reading this constitution could rightfully conclude that the American principles of judicial review had been embodied. These principles are so fundamentally amalgamated into American thinking that, unless the contrary clearly appeared, the students who voted to accept it must
It was contended that the intent of the framers of the Constitution, the Men's Student Council, and the Women's Self-Governing Association, to deprive the Student Court of the power to declare Council legislation unconstitutional must be binding upon the Court because those bodies were sovereign in their own right. That they were duly elected and within their proper scope of authority in proposing a new constitution we do not presently deny, but the student governing bodies of the University of Kansas are not and have never been sovereign. They are elected by and subject to the will of the Student Body. When revising Student Constitutions, they do not acquire higher or greater powers; for this purpose they occupy the status of constitutional conventions, and their proposed constitutions must be submitted to and be accepted by the Student Body. The intent of the Men's Student Council and of the Women's Self-Governing Association is interesting to the Combined Court but not conclusive. That intent was never communicated to the Student body.
Hilton Makes Plea For Racial Tolerance In Safeve Club Speech
In the human relation problem of whether or not we can live together as human beings, Anti- Semitism has become a weapon chosen by Fascist groups as well as foreign groups to drive a wedge to divide Americans, the Rev. Randall S. Hilton of Chicago told members and guests of the Sateve Club Saturday night.
One of the hypocrisies of American Christian democracy is that we ask people to lay down their lives for us that we might persecute them Rev. Hilton stated. There are many Jews serving in our armed forces, and yet we continue to persecute them in various ways. We have no right to utilize our freedom to persecute them or deny them equal opportunities.
The answer to the problem, Reverend Hilton believes, lies in individual counter-attacks against race hatred. We do not think intelligently when prejudices are involved. People find what they are looking for in others, good or bad and the question is what they are looking for and its relationships to themselves.
"In America every man has the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Jews are entitled to be respected and judged for themselves as individuals. Don't condemn the whole race for one man."
Reverend Hilton called for counteraction against race hatred by all people.
have assumed this Constitution was modeled upon American constitutional principles. The formal amending procedure dispels any logical conception that the student government was to be patterned upon the parliamentary government of England and France. To discount the intent or the understanding of the Student Body would be to abrogate the Student Body's constituent powers and to declare that it interpreted the provisions of the Constitution contrary to the only philosophy of government with which it was thoroughly familiar. We are not prepared to do this.—Adv.
K.W. Davidson Takes New Position Today
No crepe was hung, but in the eyes of University faculty members and students, particularly those associated with the department of journalism, when K. W. Davidson, retiring director of information, closed the door of his office Friday the occasion was almost that solemn.
After four years of jovial service to the school, Mr. Davidson put in his last day Friday. Today he will assume his responsibilities as manager of the Arllee Advertising Agency in Kansas City, Mo.
The former director of information will be in charge of advertising and promotion for the United Farm Agency, farm sales brokers, in his new position. His office is in the Business Men's Insurance Building, the Plaza, Kansas City, Mo.
Mr. Davidson investigated the possibility of buying a home in Kansas City Friday. He couldn't find a residence, so the Davidson family will remain at their present home at 2244 New Hampshire and Mr. Davidson will commute daily between Lawrence and his new office.
Mr. Davidson came to the University from Emporia where he was business manager of William Allen White's Emporia Gazette for eight
