THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Death Enfolds A Brave Woman
Death came to Dr. Florence Brown Sherbon as it does to a hero on field of battle. The soldier fights for weeks in the shadow of the Angel of Death and hears the beating of His wings, but he holds his post, fulfills his duty, and serves his country till the shadow descends. He is a hero because he dies with valor, with honor, with nobleness. Dr. Sherbon was as ready as he; the shadow enfolded her in the same way.
Only a few days ago, scores of friends presented her with a book of greetings and declarations of esteem on her seventy-fifth birthday. Every one who sent greetings understood how clumsy and drab are words when one uses them to convey emotion, feeling, respect, and love. Not one but knew that Dr. Sherbon would never have another birthday. Not one but strove bravely to keep words of greeting from sounding like eulogy. They might have spared themselves their concern, for Dr. Sherbon knew she was soon to be called, and she was ready. To the last, she remained cheerful, friendly, and resigned.
Persons like Dr. Sherbon elevate man's respect for men, for she was liberal, tolerant, noble, charitable. Citizens like Dr. Sherbon raise the country's hopes for a better time coming; for she assumed public duties, she accepted civic responsibilities, she bravely led others to accomplish deeds of public benefit. Professors like Dr. Sherbon make a university great, for she had the courage of a scientist to follow wherever Truth seemed to beckon, she had the patience of a great teacher to encourage students to keep striving, she had the benevolence of a good woman to shed tolerance and virtue upon those who sought her counsel.
The University of Kansas will miss Dr. Sherbon-yet, she will always be part of it.
K.U. Group Largest At Topeka Forum
The University of Kansas had the largest delegation at College Day, in Topeka, according to Dean Ulmer, dean of the School of Liberal Arts. Representatives from colleges all over the state were present, also a representative from Yale, and one from Chicago University.
College Day, at Topeka High School, is a day set aside by the high school for students desiring to enter college in the next few years. Representatives from colleges in the state are asked to attend so that they may give information to interested students concerning their respective colleges.
The day began with a convocation, at which Professor Hill, head of the speech department of Kansas State College, spoke to the students on the advantages of continuing one's education. Following a luncheon given for the school representatives, the entire afternoon was given over to conferences with students, and sometimes their parents, who were interested in attending certain colleges. Dean Ulmer said that there were many students who seemed to be interested in KU.

The All-American Girl: Students in the art school made a weird looking product of perspective by taking a mask, hanging it in front of a sheet of paper, and drawing earrings, hair, and clothes on the paper immediately behind it. To add complexity to the study, the Pi Phi arrow was adorned to this "sweater girl," chained to Beta, Phil Delt, Phi Gam, and Gelt pins.
Jerome "Toio" Wildgen, feeling that the boys of PT8 have needed a quieting influence such as he himself might be able to exercise, has been rigorously laying down the law in regard to quiet hours, women, spring, and any matters pertaining to love. After he had virtually chased cupid from the PT unit, and while this new "Wildgen regime" was still at its height, Jerome was found deeply absorbed in social survey class, writing sweet love notes. Which shows that even the best of men succumb in time.

Twente to Conduct Local Zone Schools
Bridge Party Given in Green Hall
Bennett, Theta. Thinking to play it off quietly, she put the record on a borrowed "vie." Several rooms away, the other girls picked up the tender words as they drifted over the ether, on another radio.
On Dean Twente's program are discussions of "Work of County Teacher Associations," "Interpretation of Schools to the Public," "Legislative Program for 1945 on Education in Kansas," "The Program of Activities of the Kansas State Teachers Association," and a talk on "History and Achievements of the Kansas State Teachers Association." The same program is to be given at each zone school.
Dean J. W. Twente of the School of Education will conduct zone schools for local Teacher Associations of those areas in Meade and Oberlin this week. Dean Twente is the chairman of the board of directors of the Kansas State Teachers Association.
E. O. Stene, associate professor of political science, and Mrs. Stene, and J. D. Stranathan, professor of physics, won prizes at the bridge party given by the University club in Green hall Friday evening at which D. D. Haines, assistant professor of civil engineering, and Mrs. Haines were hosts.

Virginia Schaeffer, Pi* Phi, received a box of chocolates from John Conard, half empty. The explanation was that since they enjoyed sharing so many things, John wanted to be sure he got his half in advance.

Wars have been caused by things like this: Kappa pledges challenged their actives to a snow fight after dinner Monday night. Just at the peak of the battle when the actives were slowly but surely losing ground, about 100 sailors from PT's 7 and 8 came swarming down the back steps on their way home from dinner. All of the Kappas beat a hasty retreat, but after 15 minutes of melee, sailors were snowballing each other besides the girls, who never hit anybody, anyway. Two lone soldiers who wandered into the fracs were almost exterminated.
Los Angeles, (INS) — Medical exoneration of Charlie Chaplin as being the father of Joan Berry's four-months-old daughter will have no effect on federal prosecution of the screen comedian, U. S.

The group will meet with two objects in mind; (1) to discuss opportunities, and (2) what collegiate work constitutes for best foundations for law.
