THE KANSAN COMMENTS Gas Black Market Is Nationwide Cheat Last week the OPA announced that gasoline allotments for holders of A-cards would be reduced to two gallons a week. In commenting on the cut, Price Administrator Bowles stated that the allowances would have been a fourth greater had not chiselers drained 2,500,000 gallons a day from the domestic supply or approximately three gallons a month from each motorist. The gasoline black market, represented by an uncontrolled supply and an excessive amount of coupons made by a large-scale growth of counterfeiting and robberies, has grown to the proportions of a nationwide cheat. Cheat Hampers War Operations Motorists patronizing black markets are robbing the war effort of its possibilities. With increased war activities, the demand for gasoline in battle areas and on the home front has grown. If motorists continue to draw illegally on the nation's reserve, production and military operations are likely to be hampered. By finding a filling station attendant who will put more gasoline in the tank than the coupon calls for or by buying counterfeit coupons, the motorist strips the nation's gasoline pool. The decreased supply results in other people's being denied an increased amount of gasoline for each coupon. In a democratic country each person is entitled to his share, and any attempt to rob him of his share is an offense against society. Unless this selfish and thoughtless minority is checked and demoralized business practices stopped, the war effort will continue to be hampered. Imposition of heavy penalties, including large fines and the confiscating of ration books, might solve the problem. Accompanying these measures should be a complete squelching of the prevalent attitude that it's "smart" to outwit the ration board and get a few extra gallons.—J.J. Money Is the Least Civilians Can Give As civilians living in an ivory tower far away from the realities of war, it is too easy for us to forget about the stark horrors we see in the Saturday night newsreels. We like to dismiss from our minds the tragedies which we know are occurring hourly. It is true that there is not much sense in dwelling constantly on the brutalities of the war, but there is something practical which civilian students can do right now.

Hardware Rock Chalk Talk HEDRICK HENNA Things like this used to occur only on Monday morning, when men were in the department: After two women had fainted in the Shack, members of the Daily Kansan staff were ready for anything. It came Tuesday morning when Virginia Gunsolly, managing editor, roared around the corner from the news room and couldn't keep up with her feet. A resounding crash echoed throughout the building. Some, galvanized into action, reached out for the papers flying through the air while others stiffly sat and wondered if Gunsolly would come rolling out on the press downstairs. Investigation revealed the only thing injured was her . . . ah . . . pride. on the top of some bushes several feet down, and Jim and Bud were to hold him. The two, from the confines of the second floor, thought the whole affair was excruciatingly funny, and kept loosening their grip until "The Squid" was literally hanging by his toes from the window ledge. Noll or nothing at all: The navy almost lost a prospective member (Bob Noll), and Aldra Smith Whittenburger might have been without her better half (Bud Whittenburger) recently, when Jim Richey's coat went out the window. Willing to sacrifice, (here's to dear old Delta), Noll, known more intimately as "The Squid," volunteered to lean out of the second floor window on the Fiji side of the Sig Alph house and retrieve the coat. It was lying Screaming mightily that all the blood was rushing to his head, he insisted that he would be smashed to a pulp if they didn't haul him back in. After Bud had almost lost his hold on "The Squid's" shoe string and followed suit, they decided their chapter was dwindling down fast enough, anyway, and they might as well haul him back in. By this time "The Squid" was true to his colors . . . purple. G. I. knew that: "What's your name? Do you belong to a sorority? If so, which one," fired an ambitious naval air cadet at Ruth Stallard, AO Pi, at the Dine-A-Mite. She pacified him by saying sweetly that she was a member of the OPA sorority . . . just call her any time. He presumably tried. "OPA," muttered a disgruntled voice behind her in the show a week later. Same boy. A little wiser. to the men overseas who are enduring a kind of life we only hear and read about, we can do it best by giving all we possibly can to the organization they swear by, the Red Cross.
