THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Dec.7 Means Lesson From Pearl Harbor
December 7 is not a date to forget easily.
It was two years ago tomorrow that the northern half of the western hemisphere — a pink-clouded little world all to itself, so preoccupied with climbing out of a depression it didn't know or care what was going on elsewhere on the planet—received a jolt into reality.
It was a tragic, costly reality. Three thousand men living and warm and laughing that Sunday morning lay lifeless moments later on the field at Fearl Harbor. The Niponese planes which had blackened the peaceful Hawaiian sky to rain death accomplished their mission with fiendish efficiency. The navy base was a holocaust.
People Ask Questions
Symphony listeners in the United States heard the first announcement. They couldn't believe it. But that afternoon and for days and weeks to follow, America had to make a difficult adjustment. That the adjustment was made is evident by our all-out war effort.
However, it wasn't as easy as al that. The shambles of Pearl Harbor haunted the public conscience. Questions kept rising unbidden in the public mind—questions such as why the navy base wasn't prepared to resist attack, why persons who had access to what was happening in the world didn't try to lead public opinion in cognizance of reality instead of following it into isolation, why American business found it expedient to sell scrap metal to the Japanese for war with China, and later with our own men.
War Is Bitter Price
Japan's greed for power, her overwomen pride in a glorious destiny, and teacherous, back-hand methods. It is no less an indictment of the United States' lack of foresight, isolation, and primary consideration for the Almighty Dollar.
The Japanese stand convicted, and their punishment is already being meted out to them. The United States is paying, too, by every single man killed or wounded in this war. It is a bitter price to pay. The lesson must be well learned to justify the cost, and it is up to those for whom December 7 is more than the day after December 6, to make sure it will not have to be paid again.
(continued from page one) that the purchase of Christmas Seals is not to be made coercive. Students are being asked to give only if they feel they can. Although a definite quota has not been set, the public relations committee of the student council, which is sponsoring the drive, says around $500 should be raised on the Hill this year, according to Mary Morrill, chairman.

This is the army: Its sounds just too stupid, but this is the way the story circulates among students. Prof: Leland Pritchard, now back on the Hill teaching economics, was taken into the army awhile back and given the customary aptitude tests. When it was all over, a self-satisfied army screening staff shipped the professor to California for a course in beginning economics. His first assignment was three chapters in a book he had written himself.

Why to study German: During the dinner part of the Phi Bet dinner dance Friday, Harry Jennison rose to sing his now famous revival solo, "Put a Nickel on the Drum". Boyden Crouch voiced frequent and fervent "Amens" and the number was a big success. With the party so well started, Howard Fink was encouraged to sing his German "Sailor's Song"—the moral of which is evidently questionable. After going around to every table to inquire if the girls understood German. Howard began. But he had overlooked

Elsewhere on the Soviet front Russian troops struck with unabated fury and heavy new casualties in the German lines were announced. In anticipation of the second anniversary of Pearl Harbor tomorrow, Gen. Douglas MacArthur unleashed a terrific air attack against a 50-mile stretch of the New Britain coastline. Tons of bombs were dropped on Japanese installations.

The vice-versa of getting stuck: With such admonitions as "Don't lean on this wall, flower" tacked around to discourage the Casper Milquetoasts, Jay Jane vice-versa-activities went over in a big way Saturday night at the Union. In the opinion of Hill women, the evening was "god" for the inclined-to-be-self-satisfied Hill male. In spite of good cutting every man present at one time or another experienceeled the sensation a girl gets after three uninterrupted dances with the same boy, and came to know the heart-break of having a stag look him over and then move off to another section of the floor.
He believes Burma will become a dominion after the war, and that

Good Neighbor: "Thank Your Yank" night at the Jayhawker theater Nancy Nevin, Pi Phi, was sitting with her mother, when a strange man on the other side poked her in the ribs. He didn't know anybody in the service and he wanted to give his ticket to her for the drawing. Nancy was a little annoyed but to save confusion, she took the ticket. The next minute it was drawn. Nancy used her call on one and only Jimmy Murray at North Camp Hood, Texas.

Reception and Dance Open New Building Friday Night
Visitors, accompanied by military guides, will be allowed to make a tour of inspection through the new military science buildings at the grand opening to be held Friday night. Dec. 10. The public has been invited to attend a reception beginning at 8 o'clock, and to stay for the dance in the drill room from 9:30 until 12 p.m., Dr. Gilbert Ulmer, chairman, said. Music for the dance will be furnished by the ASTP dance band. Mrs. Paul B. Lawson and Miss Elizabeth Meguiar head a committee in charge of refreshments for the reception.
Although some equipment must yet be secured, military science classes have already been transferred from Fowler shops to completed rooms in the new building. The rooms serve as study halls for ASTP and A-12 units each night. The large drill hall is now being used 30 hours a week for physical conditioning classes.
Construction work on the $250-000 structure was completed in October, well ahead of schedule. Located on the south slope of Mt. Oread, the new building was made possible by federal, state and University funds.

China will get back all of the possessions that have been taken from her since 1894. He would like to know why people in the United States object so to British imperialism and not to French and Dutch.
Backward? Dance, But Not Women
So they planned, while still fair weather.
Cheerful Jay Janes got together And thought girls should have a chance
For a vice versa dance.
The girls asked boys for dances, (And I guess that was the plot.) Though the dance was really backward
The girls were surely not.
Then some girls soon borrowed money
Now because of late restrictions, And because our tires are wore, The band played, by their convictions.
"Don't Get 'Round Much Anymore."
From their boy friends. 'Twas a joke
'Mid female chatter, all went home,
This, Kipling, seldom fails.
'Few females of the species
Are more deadly than the males."
