THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Religion Is Important In War-torn World
This week is religious emphasis week and University students will at least be exposed to the deeper meanings in life. Religion in war means different things to every one; in wartime especially, each individual has his own religion.
In war religion serves in many ways. Those in the service pray when perhaps they never have before, or their prayers have a deeper significance. Many think back on their Sunday School training when they are in some distant land — away from home and all the phases of daily life and precious memories—and this training is more valuable than ever before.
Others may feel that there is no God when such ravages of war tear the world. Innocent people are killed, religious people are killed even those who have given their lives to religion are killed. But God didn't start the war. If the example of Jesus had been followed, and He was to many the most perfect man ever on earth, there would be no war. But His teachings were not followed. Because the greed and hate and love of power in men's minds overcame love which is God personified, there is a war.
Religion cannot stop the war, it cannot prevent wars because it is not in the heart of everyone. But religion today is important because it provides a port in the storm of sorrow and disappointment, because it will prevent more hate and revenge after the war, and because it will be necessary in the peace to guide wartime nations.
Students here at the University, both civilian and those in uniform, feel the need of religion. At this period in life, uncertainties crowd into the mind and many times obliterate religion of any kind. During this week, fine speakers brought to the University provide an opportunity for students to hear various ideas and obtain different slants on an ageless subject.
By listening to religious discussions this week, students will give more thought to their own individual feelings. Nothing will be lost and there is a great deal to be gained, if only the realization of the importance of religion in the world today.
The following verse was written by Clifford H. Nowlin, a former student of William Carruth. It is interesting to read this tribute at a time during the Carruth poetry contest.
Re-appraisal
Upon re-reading the poems of William Herbert Carruth
Now after sixty years have gone apace.
apace,
Again I sit at my preceptor's feet
And as I read his lines I see his face
And hear his voice in accents clear
and sweet.
His dear "God Bless You" coming
Rings true as in the golden days of old.
old,
To me it seems a melody apart
As when a chime of silver bells is
tolled.
Froudly I count him as my teacher still,
His figure growing taller with the years.
A dreamer and a prophet, if you will.
A bard whose faith was master of his fears.
It was as if he walked the common sod
And seeing, spoke a parable of God
"A common blot is held no stain."

Sheep in wolves' clothing: After waiting impatiently for a coke in the Union fountain for a half hour, a group of Fine Arts girls donned heavy army overcoats and raised arms with PFC stripes on them. They immediately lured a waitress into their trap.

The Chi Omegas entertained their pledges with a masquerade party, and to keep in the spirit of the thing, Margaret Gurley doned long red sleepers and horns to pass as the bull moose. As official welcomer, Margaret let the pledges in the house. Hearing one last ring, she threw up the latch in a most welcoming manner only to find two servicemen on the front stoop. All that could be seen was a red streak as "Bull Moose" ran for cover—any kind.

And then there was the case of the freshman, who, when her blind date called to find out where she wanted to go, didn't realize whom she was talking to, carried on a lengthy conversation, and almost ended it all by telling him (her tone drops almost to the level of disgust) that she has a blind date and can't go out with him. Fortunately, he was one for the more "understanding" men.
On the Union Activities committee were Eugenia Hepworth, chairman, sophomore; Anne Zimmerman, junior; Edith Marie Darby, freshman; Catherine Foster, junior; Helen Gardner, $pecial; Marilyn Maloney, sophomore; Mary Nettels, sophomore; Jane Atwood, freshman; and Dick Beach, senior.
Betty Jo O'Neal, major in the CVC, said today that the students are to be congratulated on the interest shown in the drive. She said, "They came through wonderfully and really dug down to make the drive a success." She also added that 90 percent of the entire sales at the dance were made by students themselves.

Besides Miss O'Neal, the CVC War Bond committee was composed of Mickey Rowsey, junior, Patsy Creel, freshman, and Hazel DeWald, sophomore.
Purely coincidental: "Dean Lawson" is appearing over a soap box opera every morning, sponsored by a nationally known company.
