THE KANSAN COMMENTS
The Underground Press in Europe is a concrete example of one freedom is we are fighting for. It symbolizes the thoughts and actions of free men, and serves a twofold purpose to thwart the reign of terror and destruction in Europe. It informs the people of outside affairs and true war events, and it defies the usurper by showing the downtrodden people a spirit of democracy and freedom.
Though not as spectacular as in movie portrayal, the activities of the underground press are dangerous and courageous. From the school child to the priest people receive their copies of forbidden papers and pass them on. The organization of underground presses form a chain so that one captured member cannot reveal the whole organization.
Underground presses are most numerous in Belgium, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. France is behind other countries because of a tremendous shortage of paper. Belgium alone has 200 underground presses. This small country had experience in secret publication while occupied by the Germans in World War I and so, stowed paper away in every available corner to prepare for underground presses when an occupation by German troops was imminent.
Underground Press Defies Nazi Usurper
Copies of papers printed by the underground are smuggled out of the occupied countries in various ways. Perhaps the most common way is through boys escaping to join the allied forces. These boys bring many such papers with them. Contrary to popular belief, there are no underground presses in Germany. Of all the thousands of such papers to come out of Europe, not one has been printed in Germany.
It is the people of the occupied countries who hate Germany and its tyrannical rule who defy the government and dare to print the truth. The Underground Press is preparing its people for freedom and will prove a valuable aid in any allied invasion of Europe.
Thursday's Kansan carried a story of interviews of college girls on the campus concerning women serving in the armed services.
Letters to the Editor
After reading such an article I felt depressed and somewhat angry. I doubt whether many other soldiers would feel otherwise about this article.
I received a strong impression that the girls attending K.U. hardly know there is a terrible struggle on for survival. The Germans and Japs would laugh themselves sick reading that the girls "like civilian clothes better" or "I'm just a little bit selfish. I have a few plans of my own and they don't include the women's auxiliary forces," or something like "both girls said that if the war is still on when they are out of school, they would consider joining an auxiliary if women are needed badly enough."
The hardships these darling coeds are enduring are really lamentable. If all military personnel were suddenly removed from K.U. the girls would consider that a hardship and many would transfer to another school. Their luxuries mean so much to them. Would you girls consider joining a service to do your part? Dear me NO.-Pvt. H.M.
Newcomers Club to Meet Thursday
The Newcomers club will meet at 3 p.m. Thursday at the home of Mrs. Paul B. Lawson, 2215 Vermont street. Mrs. T. D. Jones will give a talk on "Toys for Children."

Home was never like this: Merle Baker, radio enthusiast of 1332 Louisiana, hooked a loud speaker up, the other night, to the bed springs of Walter Stueckemann's bed (third floor, 1332 La.) Then, shortly after the victim retired, Merle, urged on by Don Crawford and Bill Hare, wailed "W-aaa-lter, W1aa-lter, can you hee-ar mee W-aaa-lter?" into his transmitter. Walter, who comes from a farm near Ellinwood, thought he was having a real visitation from the spirits and bolted downstairs hair on end.

--nuisance. But over the weekend the situation became tragic, and Lassie was demoted from her comfortable quarters in Jim Bridgens' room to the basement. According to an ultimatum from Larry Johnson, Phi Bete president, if, after a reasonable period of pledge training, Lassie hasn't mended her canine ways she goes back to the pound.
The sub couldn't have put up a tougher fight: Claudine Scott asked Dave Long, PT8, to find a date for Nadine Scott, last year's president of Corbin, who was going to be in Lawrence over the weekend. Several nights later Dave called to report, "Sighted date, secured same," he chirped victoriously. Ken Shannon, also of PT8, was the casualty.
In which even the medics are stumped: Phi Bete brows are clouded with domestic difficulties arising from the fact that the one woman in their menage isn't exactly what you would call housebroken. At first the fellows got a terrific charge out of the fact, then it was just a

Subversively speaking: No one knows how a bottle of "stink perfume" came into the possession of the masculine Jean Moore, but the fact remains that it did. Recognizing his opportunity, Jean made elaborate plans to splash the unsavory concoction on the floor of one John Moore Co-op dorm and then retire peacefully to his own bed on the other side of the house. Which was a very clever trick and would have undoubtedly resulted in the successful asphyxiation of several persons, had it not been for Bob Campbell. Campbell got wind of the treachery, exchanged the "perfume" for corn syrup, and then retired while Jean carried out his fiendish plans. Campbell stayed in this convenient state of retirement through the next morning which Jean spent developing a case of housemaid's knee in a sea of stickiness and soap suds.
