THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Status of Women Changed by War
The relationship between men and women in business and the home is altered irrevocably during this war. The lord and master of the home will return from the present conflict to find his erstwhile domestic spouse an esteemed riveter in an aircraft plant, soaking away more quid weekly in her rayon hose than he used to place in the family coffers for nightly.
In assuming an increasingly larger role in what was once called "a man's world," women have struck out on their own to gain new independence. It is true that many of the women employed in essential industry will leave their jobs the instant their men return, but a taste of freedom and self-sufficiency has probably left its mark on the most ardent believers in their place in the home.
Men trained for army life will come back to find their old technical jobs taken over by women who not many months before their specialized training, ankle-socked their way over the American campuses as typical coeds. And the disgusting aspect, from the male point of view, is that the little thing with the wispy bangs and round blue eyes is just as good at figuring tensile strength as he was.
It is not likely that the actual number of women remaining in industry after the war will create a serious problem of unemployment for demobilized soldiers. However, the change in the status of women in the business world has been affected surely and tangibly.
Barriers against women have been broken down in almost every field. Lipstick and unswept hairdirs are at home in the factory, the office, the laboratory. The future of the career woman looks very bright if individual ability and training will determine the status of the individual after the war.

PT life is just the sober side: Jack Jarvis, Sigma Nu, and Leonard Brown, alarmed their brethren of PT3 by suddenly becoming fired with ambition to be officers. The excitement died down, however, when the topic of a Naval organization lecture became generally known. The fellows had just learned in the aforementioned class that officers at sea are getting two quarts of whiskey a week.

Not a nurse's aide in the house: Splurging during a brief interlude between football and basketball seasons, Charlie Moffett, Delt man of iron, sat in his room and polished off 10 cigarettes and a black cigar. After approximately two years of abstinence, the debauchery was too much, and Moffett lost consciousness. Fellow Delta's hadn't the slightest idea what to do so, they took a stab in the dark and threw water, but they took a chance with the dash of cold water. Moffett promptly began to have convulsions. When the human windmill of arms and legs quieted down a little, the Delts lugged the body of their ailing brother to Watkins hospital, where, after customary treatment for nicotine poisoning, he quickly recovered

When Bill Munday, K.U. Beta, in the navy medic program in Kansas City, asked for his check at Martin's on the Plaza, there was a little delay. As finally delivered, the check had the name and telephone number of every waitress in the place scribbed on the back.

At least 50 service men attended the second tea dance given by the Union Activities committee last Saturday afternoon, Joanne Johnson, chairman of the committee, estimated.
Second Tea Dance Brings Larger Crowd
"We were well pleased with the number that attended, and from its success we are encouraged to continue having the dances every Saturday afternoon," Miss Johnson said. "It was stetty a 'girl-cut' affair, and there were enough women for almost everyone to dance all the time."
"The Navy outnumbered the Army last Saturday, but we hope the Army will be as well represented next time," urged Miss Johnson. "We want all the service men to feel welcome."
