Letter to the Editor
Out of the six contestants in the Missouri Valley Oratorical Contest held here last week, four spoke concerning the maladjustments of race relations in the United States. This would indicate that American youth considers these problems as being among the gravest this country has to face. The winners of the first and second prizes both spoke on the Negro-White relations. The winner of the first prize was a Texan.
The winning speeches brought out the points that the Negro problem cannot be solved by denying its existence; it is absurd to deny Negros the opportunity to participate whole-heartedly and to their full capacity in the war effort; it is absurd to ask Negro soldiers to fight and die for democracy and at the same time deny them civil liberties and other privileges of American citizenship; and more and bigger race riots may be expected after the war unless extensive favorable changes in race relations take place now.
Kansas University, while training soldiers and sailors to fight for democracy and the four freedoms, persists in violating the principles of democracy and freedom. Kansas University is doing a good job of practicing what Hitler preaches. K.U. will not allow Negro girls to take swimming. K.U. discriminates against Negroes in the home economics department, in practice

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
Lots of people who have been wondering about the "$" are satisfied now! It isn't just a straight-laced junior WCTU with a special branch for men—it couldn't be and sponsor a carnival like the carnival Saturday.
***
One of the first attractions on the midway in Hoch was the tent of The Co-op Queenie. Inside, a very muscular gentleman dressed in feminine effects divested himself of encumbering garments all evening for a price. By way of props he used a glass of beer (different glass each performance) and a cigarette. The part of Queenie was played by Luther Buchele who would have been a very convincing lady if he hadn't kept winking so hungrily at the girls on the front row. Luther is the new president of the YMCA
Another mid-way attraction which started out on the up and up but soon developed was the Alpha Omicron Pi sleeping beauty tent. Marilyn Voth, the sleeping beauty, was supposed to be dead to the world within and (again for a price) her sisters were letting men kiss her. The rules of the game restricted all kisses to the forehead.
Wally Grimes, Sigma Chi president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, forged ahead once however, when no one was looking and kissed Marilyn on the mouth in the manner to which he has accustomed Hill women. For the first time in history, the technique failed. Marilyn didn't flutter an eyelash.
Graybill Parks, Clifford Kaarbo,
William Andrews, and Lewis Carroll
were the four Triangles who took
turns sitting beneath the bucket of
water which people paid good money
to dump on their heads. The four
boys, all suffering from colds, are
convinced the student body is made
up of a bunch of sads.

The Delts advertised that they were displaying the body of John Wilkes Booth, and inside their tent was, indeed, a man resting comfortably in a coffin. During the first part of the evening this man looked a great deal like Paul Hurrel and
during the last part he resembled Bob Jelinek—but other than that the stunt was very real. Said Jelinek later, it was an easy way to spend an evening and he had only one bad moment—when the lecturer told people he had J. W. B. branded on his left hip and some "doubting Thomas" female in the audience insisted on seeing it.

The Corbin Hall fortune teller told Leland (Finger) Bowl that he would have a great number of children. The Beta was relieved to learn a few seconds later from the same source that he would be married twice.

Two ducks quacked around the Kappa living room Saturday night shortly before closing hours spreading feathers, etcetera. Mary Louise Samson, pledge, the only person to ring the same duck in the Sigma Chi pond twice all evening had won the female of the pair. And at the end of the evening when the male was auctioned off, her date, Lee Siebert saw to it that the two were not separated. When Mary Lou's roomate refused to be a party to any duck housing project, Lee took the pets over to the Sig Alph house, where it is assumed duck was served for Sunday dinner.

Have a "Coke" = Sakabona
... from Bloemfontein to Buffalo
In South Africa, as in the U. S. A., the greeting Have a "Coke" helps the American sailor to get along. And it helps, too, in your home when you have Coca-Cola in your icebox. Across the Seven Seas, Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes—the friendly gesture of good-natured folks.
BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY Kansas City Coca-Cola Bottling Company
"Coke" = Coca-Cola
It's natural for popular names to acquire friendly abbreviations. You hear Coca-Cola called Coke.
