Captain Reveals Bolivian Attitude
"What Bolivia and the South American countries really want is more understanding," said Capt. Jose Guzman, medical officer of the Bolivian army, in a lecture yesterday afternoon in Fraser theater, "and it is not achieved by sending second-rate movie actors."
Captain Guzman pointed out that the intelligent people of South America were often insulted by our attitude. He compared Bolivia in its economic problem to a "beggar sitting on a bench of gold," and it was suggested by him that she need our help as she does not have our education or background. The good neighbor policy, he said, did not prove a success, as it only led to fighting among the Latin American countries as to who should receive the most money from the United States.
"Most of all, Bolivians want to fight. They feel cheated because they are at war with the Axis, and yet they are not allowed to fight," Captain Guzman pointed out, "They want to be trusted with some responsibility."
Former Students Get Commissions
Two former students of the University have been commissioned second lieutenants in the Army Air corps after, completing the Army Air Forces advanced flying school training at Williams Field, Chandler, Ariz.

Less than $300 short of the civilian goal of $1,000,the Red Cross total was brought up to $702.37 today, announced Miss Marie Miller, coordinator of the University civilian Red Cross drive.
"The Red Cross is the only agency operating overseas for the boys' comfortable living." commented Miss Miller. "and $1,000 is not too much to ask from this campus. We are not forcing the students to contribute, but merely asking, and in view of the emergency of the situation we should make our full quota."
Red Cross Nears Goal Needing $300 More
Members of the Co-ed Volunteer Corps, under the direction of Betty Jo O'Neal, major, collected $12.03 yesterday from the workers at Lindley hall. Several students have made individual contributions of $2 and $3 in Miss Miller's office.
However, many organizations are still unreported, said Miss Miller, and the CVC members are contacting these houses in an effort to get the figures tabulated as soon as possible.
Chancellor Reports Inter-Faith Fellowship To Honor W. A. White
The William Allen White interfaith fellowship has been established at the University of Kansas by the National Hillel Foundations, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today. The fellowship will be an annual award, in the amount of $300, assigned preferably to a junior student who has done most to promote inter-faith amity on the campus. Chancellor Malott said that with the permission of the Foundation he would appoint a selection committee to choose the recipient of the fellowship.
The fellowship has been set up by the Hillel Foundations under the auspices of B'Nai B'Rith, the nation's oldest and largest service organization. With the announcement of the fellowship, the Foundation also made public an acceptance statement from Chancellor Malott in which he said, "We accept the fellowship with deep appreciation and are very much honored by your confidence in the University of Kansas."
The establishment of the award at the University follows the pattern created by the Foundation at the University of Alabama, Illinois. Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio State in honor of great personalities who have made a distinct contribution to civilization.
In its announcement through Chancellor Malott, the Hillel group referred to the great Kansas editor as one "whose journalistic career was marked by a life-time crusade against bigotry and intolerance."
Students May Have Jayhawkers Today
The new issue of the 1944 Jayhawker appeared on the campus at 1:30 today, with students obtaining their copies at the Book Exchange in the sub-basement of the Memorial Union building.
Much of San Sebastiano already had crumbled under the molten lava stream.
The Book Exchange will be open from 1:30 until 5 this afternoon and Thursday and Friday afternoons of this week to students wishing to obtain the magazine.
Only students who have subscriptions can obtain the magazine now, Mary Morrill, editor, has announced. Although it will probably be possible for students to purchase single issues of the current number later on, she said, none will be sold until all subscribers have called for their copies.
Students who have subscriptions are urged to call for the magazine as soon as possible.

Marching to the cadence set by the AST Unit's Drum and Bugle Corps, the ASTP trainees who are leaving for duty with the troops this week, gave their last military review at 10:30 this morning before Cancellor Deane W. Malott and Lt. Col. Watson L. McMorris, commandant of the local ASTF unit.
The review was scheduled to be held on the athletic field south of Lindley hall, but owing to the muddy condition of the field resulting from the recent snows and rains, the men paraded through the campus on Oread Avenue.
Students hurrying to classes stopped to see the review and office personnel ventured out into the misty weather to view the impressive sight. This was the first review to be given on Oread Avenue in this war. All military reviews of both the Army and Navy have been given in the stadium or on the athletic field south of Lindley hall. Today was the first time that students, faculty members, and office workers have had the opportunity to witness one here on the campus. Transfer Effective This Week

Hike in Postal Rates Is Effective Sunday
Starting Sunday, March 26. increased postal rates will go into effect, announced R. C. Abraham, superintendent at the University post office.
Of particular interest to students on the campus will be the increase from two to three cents on all local mail, and the extension of domestic air mail rates from six to eight cents per ounce. Domestic air mail includes mail sent to any post office in the United States itself or Canada. Postage on overseas air mail will remain the same, six cents for every half ounce.
The cost of money orders will be almost doubled, according to Mr. Abraham, and book rates, C.O.D. parcel post, registered and insured mail fees will also be considerably higher.
No changes are to be made at this time on the regular three cent postal rates, in which classification the majority of campus mail falls.
