PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, JANUARY 25. 1944 THE KANSAN COMMENTS Can Dewey Win For the Republicans? Rumor has it that Chicago Republicans are in favor of Dewey for President. Chicago is the convention city for this June, and the Chicago Republicans will have a large representation, at least in the gallery. Let us consider this man Dewey. Four years ago he was thought by some to be too young and inexperienced for the chief's job. Even so, the Gallup poll revealed that 60 percent were in favor of his candidacy in January, 1940. Since that time, he has increased his experience in the New York Governor's chair, from which many a President has risen. Thomas Edmund Dewey is a man approaching 42. He has a character remarkably free from stain, and may be considered "typically American." As a boy he sang in a church choir, debated, joined the Boy Scout organization, and had the distinction of never being late to or absent from school. He received the bachelor of arts degree from the University of Michigan in 1923, and his bachelor of laws degree from Columbia in 1926, completing a three-year course in two. Dewey's father, George Martin Dewey, was a Republican county chairman for many years, and there is no reason to suspect his son of party disloyalty. G. M. Dewey died the year before his son's marriage to Frances Hutt, whom Tom had met in music school. She encouraged the growth of his famed mustache, which will delight the cartoonists especially if Dewey should be selected Republican presidential candidate. In 1931, only six years after he received his degree, he was making $8000 a year in private legal practice. From 1933 on, his life was connected largely with the investigation and punishment of crime. Appointed chief assistant to the U.S. attorney in the southern district of New York in 1933, Dewey began a more public life. In 1935, Governor Lehman appointed him special prosecutor in the investigation of racketeering and vice in New York. His first elected office, district attorney of New York county, was won in 1937 by a margin of more than 100,000 votes. From that time on, he became nationally known for his "cops-and-robbers technique." He created the Volunteer Defenders, a panel of legal talent which tries a certain number of cases each year without pay. A family man, Dewey's honesty and morals have never been questioned. With his two young sons, his wife, his Mason and Episcopalian membership, he seems the ideal traditional American in many ways. A spiteful Democrat said of him, "You must know Mr. Dewey very well in order to dislike him."—R.T. Letters to the Editor I was somewhat surprised to read Pvt. H. M.'s letter in last Tuesday's Daily Kansan criticizing KU. women for doing something he, too, is doing—namely, continuing their education. Granted, that women's auxiliaryes are doing a fine job, and if any coed is convinced that she can be of service to her country by joining one of the branches, she should enlist immediately. However, if a women sincerely believes that she can aid her country best by completing her college education so that she will be better prepared to help in the war effort, then she certainly should not be branded a female draft dodger. Pvt. H. M. made the statement to the effect that if military personnel Rock Chalk Talk BY D. J. GILLILAND Blinding Beauty — When Bill Woods called for his blind date, a Delta Gamma rushee. Saturday night, he was not prepared for her blinding glory. As the couple descended the walk in front of the DG. house, the rushee slipped and started to fall. Bill galantly caught her—in such a manner that she stuck her finger squarely in his right eye. When last seen, the bd., evidently impressed by Bill's attempted chivalry, was considering the adoption of "I'm Falling in Love" as her theme song. - * * Chemistry and Love—Now that Ann Seipes, Corbin half-pint, and Vance Reynolds, V-12, have made it official, the story can be told. Recently when Vance was having more than the usual amount of unknown trouble in chemistry lab, petite Ann furnished inspiration aptenity in the form of a large photograph of herself, placed squarely in the middle of the budding chemist's desk. At present, other members of the qualitative analysis lab, prompted by their colleague's musical talents, are calling Vance, Frankie — short for Frank Sinatra. Always Prepared—Another Corbinite, Lou Taylor, also seems headed for the position of Guiding Light in the two-some to which she is immediately concerned. After the Corbin belles had tired of a mob scene centering around Jay Catalina, Triangle, following Lou and Jay's pinning Sunday, Lou demurly descended the stairs, armed with a jar of cold cream and a box of Kleenex. *** --were removed from the University, K.U. women would consider that a hardship, and many would leave the campus. Is he congratulating himself on being a female morale builder or a good soldier? Something New in Figures—Aroused from a sound sleep in sociology by Miss Elliott's problem, "If we have 100 men and 95 women, why won't all the women be married?" Bev Bohan calmly stated that it was because fewer men married than women. And we thought it was a 50-50 proposition! Some women are convinced that they can do their part only by joining one of the services. Others are equally confident that they can best serve their country by carrying on on the home front. Can a coed be criticized for doing he thing which she thinks is best? I'm wondering if Pvt. H.M.didn't unwisely criticize the K.U. coeds in his letter which appeared in last Tuesday's Kansei. I was very much surprised to hear that an A.S.T., stationed here at K.U., enjoying the same luxuries as the coeds here, feels that we coeds hardly know that there is a terrible struggle on for survival. In fact, I was wondering if the servicemen here are aware of a war being fought by some of our American boys on the other side of the ocean. Most of us coeds have brothers and boy friends who are fighting overseas, and some of them will never return. Most of us coeds have seriously thought of joining a women's auxiliary, only to be reproved by these same fighting men for considering such action. They give a number of reasons, such as the Guadalcanal sergeant who doesn't want to come home and visit his girl friend in any army camp. These fighting men say that there are many jobs on the home front that are as necessary to the war effort as bullets It will be interesting to see how many servicemen, who really don't want to be here, apply for immediate active service. and planes. The coeds of K.U. are trying to fit themselves for these necessary war jobs. TB Goal Neared, Drive Needs $183 "A War Conscious Coed" Contributions totaling $2,817.12 have been made toward the $3,000 goal in the Tuberculosis Bond and Seal drive on the campus, Prof. E.L. Trecee, associate professor of bacteriology and associate chairman of the drive, announced today. The student drive, under the direction of Joy Stapleton, closed with a total of $332.26. The faculty drive, however, is not completed. So far, members of the faculty have given $438.15. The remainder of the $2,817.12 was contributed by persons outside the University. Faculty members or employees who have stamps should return the money or the stamps as soon as possible, Professor Treace urged. Prof. E. F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, is ill with the flu and could not attend his classes today. His wife and daughter also have the flu.
