PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1943 THE KANSAN COMMENTS Political Parties Need To Clean Up Now with freshman election all over but the counting, the women's political parties would do well to turn their thoughts to cleaning up the disorder they have created. Stickers pasted on buildings, statues, windows and every other object that will take glue, testify to the efficiency and enthusiasm of the parties. Posters attached to every conceivable surface show the earnestness and zeal with which party members worked to put their candidates before the public. Squad Needed for Clean-Up However, the man power shortage has hit the building and grounds department hard. The department employees perform good service in keeping the campus neat and orderly, but there are no extra men to detail to scraping off stickers or taking down posters. taking down posters. The removal of the offending stickers (now that election is over they have no further purpose) will be a long, tedious undertaking for buildings and grounds. On the other hand, a squad of women from each party could tidy up the campus in a very little time if they just pitched in. Stickers Litter Campus No one objected to the stickers being posted during the campaign, but now that the need for them is ended, the parties would be performing an appreciated service by removing them. Frayed, marked up, half torn off, the stickers are not conductive to the beauty or orderliness the campus tries to achieve even in wartime. The political parties have an opportunity to impress their constituents. It's up to them. KFKU PROGRAM Tonight: 9:30 p.m. Sportscast — presenting Dv, F, C.

(continued from page one) ties included both army and some seamen since Secretary of Navy Knox recently announced there were light naval casualties. Dispatches from the Pacific disclosed that a total of 4,000 Japs were entrenched in deep well-protected fortifications of Tarawa when the Marines waded in neck-deep water to storm the beaches. Officers said the fighting was the toughest and bloodiest of the war and that the Marines had more casualties in this action than in any other one operation in their history. It was disclosed that reconnaissance failed to show the exact strength of the Japs at Tarawa because they had entrenched themselves in deep foxholes and dugouts and remained under cover during aerial bombardment. Colby College Changes Curriculum For the first time in the history of Colby, N.M., Junior College, students are being enrolled in nursing and pre-flight courses. Have You Met Sammy?—Adv. Girls, Are You A C.M.B?—Adv. Rock Chalk Talk BY MARY MORRILL Shown for the first time in captivity: Admittedly duped by freshmen, Delta Gamma active, Carol Stuart, found herself cooped up in the little space outside a basement window with only a dinner bell for company—all during intermission from evening study hall. Crouched beneath the metal grating above and pressed by the window and the cold earth on either side, Carol tolled her bell frequently for help while the frosh poured water on her through the grating. The bell, although satisfactorily mournful, did little good. It was heard only by V-12's of PT2 who could get no farther than half-way out their upstairs windows. Another Valley Forge: With reports from Washington that a flu epidemic is on its way, army officials here have ordered ASTP men to turn off their radiators and throw open all windows before leaving their quarters, thereby giving migrant germs the cold shoulder. Evidently, testify shivering ASTP's, it has never occurred to the army that they will all die from overexposure - * * BEFORE the war Bell Laboratories' scientists put quartz crystals to work in such a way that twelve conversations are carried on two pairs of Long Distance wires at one time. Now with strategic metals so scarce, the Bell System is using only 6,000 tons of new copper a year instead of 90,000. And these tiny crystals are helping to provide more communication for each pound used. They serve on the battle fronts, too. Western Electric has manufactured some eight million quartz crystals for use in the dependable communications equipment Bell System research is giving the armed forces. In the better days ahead this experience will again be directed toward keeping this country's telephone service the best in the world. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM War calls keep Long Distance lines busy ... That's why your call may be delayed. * * He should stick to the high seas: Wally Grimes, Sigma Chi and V-12, reports with pride that he got "beat up" in Ft. Riley where the football squad went for its last game of the season. "Not that I got in the game," Wally admits good-naturedly, "I owe it all to a tank." Wally went riding in the turret of this tank with some unknown lieutenant who evidently had a grudge against the navy. At the end of a test course driven at over 60 per, Wally was bleeding in several places, and presented a problem to Trainer Dean Nesmith. LOST—Brown wool mittens with light brown leather palms.

Nadine Potter, Sec'y Diplomatic Moves Overshadow Battles For the second day in succession, developments on the battlefront took a back seat to diplomatic and political developments. Troops of the British eighth army smashed through the German winter line on the eastern flank in Italy, hurling the Nazis into full retreat, and heavy punishment was meted out to the enemy in Russia and Southwest Europe. event was Chancellor Malott, staunch Beta, who did not fail to take advantage of his opportunity. The Chancellor started off by telling Sigma Chi squad members he realized they were good rushers—but he really thought this was going too far.
