THE KANSAN COMMENTS
THE K ASC Busy Building Student Power
The All Student Council has been busy this year. As in every new organization, formation of by-laws and additions to the constitution must occupy a great deal of time. A workable and useful Council with real student power is the goal. Besides this kind of work, the Council finds time for other projects directly benefitting students.
The ASC has sponsored various drives this year, the most recent the one against tuberculosis. The Council appointed a committee to investigate discrimination against Negroes in musical activities, which resulted in a new Negro member of the band. The ASC is sponsoring activities for service men's wives at the Union building. Also, steps are being taken toward the establishment of a student cashing-checks bureau.
War-time conditions have prompted the Council into other actions. For example, the recent appointment of class officers took the place of the less expedient and always cumbersome election by the student body.
The ASC is advised by the Student Court, a body whose judicial power hasn't been determined. Faculty advisers on this court help students in working out their problems.
The ASC is forging ahead this year with projects and plans and is more active than student government has been in many years. The start of such an organization is difficult during a war, but the ASC hopes to have laid a solid foundation for future student government at the University after the war.
Letters to the Editor
I would like to say that the letter by Pvt. H. M. in Monday's Kansan was a fine job and I think he did a magnificent job of telling off the KU coeds. They shouldn't complain because in their interviews they asked for it.
I agree with Pvt. H. M. when he says that we coeds haven't endured or are enduring any hardships at all. We have practically all the same luxuries we had before and what's more important, we are able to continue our education. The latter I think is a valuable contribution to the war effort if it is used constructively.
The only point on which I disagree with Pvt. H. M. is that he classed all the KU coeds as being girls that "hardly know there is a terrible struggle on for survival." There are a large number of us coeds who are aware of this struggle. We think the women's auxiliaries are fine things and an admirable career for a girl to follow. We have born out these convictions by already enlisting; furthermore, we didn't enlist for the glamour of the uniform. We enlisted to do our part as American citizens. There are also a considerable number of girls seriously considering enlisting after graduation. Also, we don't feel that you have to wear a uniform to do your part. If, after graduation you secure a civilian job that is connected with the war effort, then you are doing all that can be expected of you.
Yes, Pvt. H. M., there are some of us coeds who really want to help you fellows, despite the impression given from the interviews in the Daily Kansan.-C.S., USNR.
Production Cut on N.U. Paper
War time conditions have forced the Daily Nebraskan, student newspaper at the University of Nebraska, to publish only three times a week. The paper, the same size as the Daily Kansan regular issues, is published on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Rock Chalk Talk
By HANNA HEDRICK
As an incentive to better living conditions and graceful behavior, V-12's have the "awkward squad." Leaving cigarette butts in the insh tray, dust under the bed, clothes not hung up, etc., calls for the meting out of due punishment through the "awkward squad." Last Saturday, 38 members of this new group traveled six and a half miles around the Robinson gymnasium track.

Cat in the "Doghouse": Jim Zielge r, first-class veterinarian and freshman medic, was about to show the proper way to inject a cat with a syringe. The suspecting cat leaped out of his hands, raced around him a couple of times while Jim stood frozen to the spot, and then left for the wide open spaces.

Women on Council Is News
Recruits Encourage Air WAC's to Stay
Although unable to disclose the number of recruits which have been received by the mobile recruiting unit stationed on Massachusetts street since Wednesday, Air WAC Lt. Alice Pechner today disclosed that an unusual number had been recruited. The response has been so good that the unit will remain in Lawrence until Saturday, she said.
"The people of Lawrence apparently are beginning to realize that it is very important that women answer this call and become a valuable part of the army." Lt. Pechner stated. She also said that quite a number of college students had been recruited.
