THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Ad Astra Per Aspera
And He hath said, "In the sweat of his brow, man shall earn his bread" — a wonderful expression which, if interpreted properly, sharply delineates man's whole existence. A joyful philosophy is shown in the phrase "Ad Astra Per Aspera." Confident optimism says, "Every dark cloud has a silver lining."
The philosophy of many is that there is beauty in life and in after life which may be attained through individual and collective striving. Many look beyond difficulties and trials to see what is beautiful; they worked for it, and long for it.
A Great Redeemer saw far beyond his enormous trials into a beautiful future. He carried a cross patiently, endured endless pain and mortal wounds, that all mankind might share the felicity He was desiring for them.
Determined cruders crossed Europe and fought many great battles that they might rescue the Holy Grail from barbarians who held it.
Puritans crossed what was to them an enormous and dangerous waste of water to a strange, cold, wild new country that they might have the happy freedom to worship their God as they pleased.
Rebellious and idealistic Americans stood and marched barefoot on icy snow that cut their feet, starved fought, wept, and died to make America a great, free nation.
A President who will always be remembered with gratitude in our nation led a confused people through a period of great strife, holding them together through a powerful will and sheer determination, and finally giving his life to bring them and their descendants a step nearer to equality.
Far-seeing women marched and made demonstrations to forward a great cause. They endured criticism, contempt, and sometimes even social ostracism that their sex might no longer mark them as inferior. They fought for and earned woman suffrage.
Today, free men all over the world witness and experience incredible hardships; they fight, starve, sicken, and die that the world may be made more perfect. Always, man seeks what is better—always, he looks beyond immediate trials to see what he is struggling for.
Always, man reaches toward the stars through difficulties—F.C.A.
Book Drive Into Final Days
With only three more days to go in the World Student Service book drive, Eloise Penner, drive chairman, urges all students who have not contributed at least one book to make their donation by next Monday. Receptacles for books have been placed in Frank Strong hall and in every organized house.
No check has been made on the number of books contributed so far, said Miss Penner, however, it is evident that all students have not yet made their donations.
College text books on any subject, preparatory text books, language study books, and standard works of literature are being called for by the WSSF. The books may be in any of 10 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Serbian, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Dutch, and Spanish.
The book collection is one of the most important parts of the appeal by the WSSF, said Miss Penner. In the 1942-43 period more than six thousand text books were collected and sent to students all over the
Rock Chalk Talk
STAN HAGLER
Everybody's talking about that tone poem of Ted Lehman, entitled "The Tragedy of Binswanger Drinch." It seems that Mr. Lehman has whipped up a worthy successor to Binswanger, the leading character being one Agapantha Strangliott, the only woman tobacco auctioneer. Best lines: "... and the way in which Agapantha held a gay young blade in the stare of her left eye while her right eye who roamed amlessly about the room broke more than a few hearts that night ... her courageous little chick receded from a point into an admirable Adam's apple flanked on either side by gnarled chords." Question of the week: where does he get his inspiration?
Pity the young and good-looking teacher who had a call from one of her students. She gave him the information he desired and said, "Goodby." She then turned to a few of her friends who were present and said, "He's real cute, too." Main trouble was that she hadn't hung up the receiver. A long low whistle was emitted from the earphone and it wasn't the operator.
Over at Lindley hall something new has been added. No longer do the AST's arise with the drab call of one bugle. Now seven bugs and a

few drums thrown in for good measure play the familiar "You gotta get up, you gotta get up . . ." By way of innovation last night replacing the familiar taps was Brahm's lullaby, with an arrangement for seven trumpets and odd percussions. And there were odd percussions. The boys refer to the musical group as "the pauper's Spike Jones."
The service men-student class of the First Baptist church will discuss "Jesus, Testament of Human worth," lead by the Rev. Charles W. Thomas. Dr. Raymond Schwegler will speak on "The Targets of Destiny," at the morning service. The young people's group will discuss an American opinion poll on post war issues.

Over at the Theta house all the gals are reading "Barefoot Boy With Cheek" a witty expose on college life. Seems that they hope to find out what goes on in the frat houses. . . Someone should tell the A-12's that the girls who wear arrows on their sweaters are not necessarily members of the archery club. . .

Henry Asher Dies Of Pneumonia
Henry H, Asher, Jr., of Lawrence who received his bachelor of arts degree from the School of Medicine in 1930, died of pneumonia yesterday morning at Manistique, Mich.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Asher, 2209 Vermont street, were unaware of their son's illness until they received notice of his death yesterday noon. The father has gone to Michigan for the body. No funeral arrangements have been made.
Dr. Asher received his bachelor of science degree in 1932 and his masters degree in 1934. He was a member of Delta Upsilon fraternity, Ku Ku club, the Bacteriology Club, and Delta Sigma Rho, a debate fraternity.
He went to Michigan last August where he was director of health for three counties near Manistique. Before holding this position, he worked in the office of the state board of health in Topeka.
He was active in establishing the Douglas county health unit while a member of the Kansas board of health.
Besides his parents, Dr. Asher is survived by his wife, Mrs. Bernice Asher; two sons, Henry and Robert Alan; and one brother, Cpl. Alan Asher, Mineral Wells, Texas.

At 7:30 the Sateve club will participate in the Co-op Clean-up.
Holy communion will be held at the Trinity Episcopal church at 8 a.m. The Rev, D. O. Weatherbee will give a morning prayer with his sermon.
The First Christian church student class will be led by Mrs. Harold G. Barr. The sermon topic will be "Learning to Live."
Student Justice Continues Decision
The decision of the student court continues;
If the purpose of the adoption of this constitution was, as alleged, to create a Student Council having supreme legislative authority, this constitution is ill adapted to that end. The student court and the Student Council are both created by the constitution and neither is subordinated to the other. The student court is co-ordinate to the Council, and, when in a controversy before the court, a legislative enactment conflicts with the constitution and either one or the other must fall, the court must be bound by the superior law which created it and find against the legislation. We do not hold the court to be supreme to the Council, but merely that the court must respond to the will of the student body as expressed by the constitution and disregard legislation in conflict thereto.
Reduced to its simplest terms Mr. Engle's contention is that legislation of the Council becomes part of the constitution, that is, that the Council has unlimited amending power. If this were true, why did the student body expressly reserve to itself in Article VIII the amending power? The students who accepted this constitution would be astonished to
