PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS MONDAY, JANUARY 3. 1944 THE KANSAN COMMENTS Polish Democracy On the March Today a similarity of purpose—that of political democracy—unites the organized Polish peasant movement and the Polish labor movement. These underground groups are already planning for the future of their country. The Polish people realize that reconstruction of their country will not be an easy matter. All organized society has been wiped out. At present German domination and the threat of later Russian influence make it impossible for Poland to establish political and social standards. The people realize that they will have to start from scratch, but they wish to maintain popular enthusiasm under conditions in which each individual will feel that he is working for himself and the rest of society, and not for the benefit of privileged groups. The majority of the Polish people wish to prevent history from repeating itself. They wish no landed classes, no dictators, no selfish interests of specialized groups. They want a people's Poland, and the peasant and labor organizations' union goes far to achieve this end. After the war many difficulties must be surmounted. International as well as internal conditions will be confused. But the Polish people are willing to go through the momentary failures and the political dissension to travel the hard road ahead in order to achieve a true democracy, a country of the people and for the people. Organized unity of the peasants and the laboring class is the answer for the Polish people and is already helping toward laying a foundation for post-war reconstruction.

North Africa a Cold Place, Says Former Kansan Editor "North Africa is too cold—never dreamed it could be such a cold place," wrote Pfc. William J. Feeney, in a V-mail letter to friends in the department of journalism. "We seem to be emerging from a rainy, cold season. Most of the merchants around here know some English, and my Spanish and smattering of French are enough to get by." Pvt. Feeney was managing editor of the Daily Kansan in 1942, and was president of the Kansas chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, journalism professional fraternity. FDR Still Confined with Influenza FDR Suit Confined With Influenza Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt was still confined to his bed today by a slight attack of influenza, but his temperature is normal and his personal physician reports he is on the road to quick recovery. Rock Chalk Talk By HANNA HEDRICK The Fleet's in: Luther Welsh, now a midshipman at Annapolis and looking like nothing less than an admiral, came back to pay his Beta brothers a visit. Luther, affectionately known by the Betas as "The Great Stoneface," "Uncouth Luth," and "Welsh the Belch," first observed that the Kappas haven't bought a new screen for the mail room window since the last time he was here. In one of his more daring moments and as a practical joke last year, Luther locked himself in the mailroom after closing hours. When certain authorities suspected a man in the house and went to investigate he dived out of the window, leaving only the imprint of his figure as he went through the screen. The human capacity is unsurpassed: To prove that the navy has tough intestinal fortitude, 300 machinist mates devoured 612 pounds The graduating class of 1937 raised $750 as a memorial gift so that Mr. Frazier could do this work, Dr. Lane said. Professional men would probably have charged $600 apiece for the doramas. A necessary evil: Virginia Thompson, Miller hall, planted a big juicy kiss on her roommate, Mary Turkington. "Turk" tried various and devious ways to remove the lipstick on the side of her face, to no avail. All of which makes one wonder how the boys get it off. From authoritative sources, it is said that the A.T.O. and Sigma Chi barracks are well-stocked with cold cream jars for our wandering boy who comes in after a heavy date. of chocolate on Christmas day. Paging Doctor Canutson. Dioramas Completed In Dyche Neanderthal man lived a hundred thousand years ago and was the first fossil man to become known. Having massive features, short, crooked legs, and a powerful build, this ancient man had as large a brain as modern man. Cro-Magnon man, the first known man of modern type, probably exterminated the Neanderthals. He possessed a high excellence of artistic skill. Some believe that the Basque people, an isolated group living in the Pyrenees, are the living descendants of the Cro-Magnon. Four dioramas showing four of the oldest known types of man in the scenes of his normal habitat have been completed by Bernard "Poco" Frazier, instructor of design. - * * - * * Washington, (INS) — President Roosevelt appointed a three-man board today to investigate the deadlock between southeast railroad and labor organizations on alleged racial discrimination in employment of Negroes. Mr. Frazier first modeled the figures in clay, getting his ideas from forms and literature supplied by Dr. H. H. Lane, director of Dyche museum of natural history.. He then made casts in plaster, painted the forms, and set them against the background in which these ancient forms of man lived thousands of years ago. Peking man was first found in a limestone cave, south of Peiping, China. He was the oldest form of man to have a culture of fire and tools. Java man is believed to be the earliest man in existence. Found sixty feet under ground in a deposit of river gravel in eastern Java, he was thought to be the "missing link" between ape and man. However, he is human, though not of the main line of human descent. Borneo has a species of poisonous snake that glides downward from trees like a flying squirrel. Board to Investigate Deadlock On and on into eternity: With a deep breath, we plunge into the latest of the "Pistol Packin' Mama" puns. Pistol Packin' Mama is now home with a little Colt. Another version would lead you to believe that P.P.M. is home having a beebee.
