WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20,
THE KANSAN COMMENTS
A seven-year-old boy, son of a Baptist minister, has been denied the right to study in the public schools of Kansas City. Kansas. It seems the father was born, 35 years ago, in Japan.
For more than 10 years the father has been in the United States, where he received an A.B. from Texas Christian university, served as pastor of the First Japanese Baptist church in Sacramento, and organized churches in San Francisco. When the war came, he was interned with his American-born wife and child in a War Relocation Authority center, and then offered a chance to get his master's degree in theology by the home mission board of the Baptist church.
To help support the small family while the father is learning more about God and the American beliefs, the mother works in a college dormitory. It must be very baffling to the Christian parents that their son can be denied public schooling in a Christian country.
Citizen Has Right To Attend School
The school superintendent refused to admit the boy on the grounds that it would cause dissension in the school room and that the boy would likely be subjected to persecution. If this be true, now is the time for the young students to learn that democracy is not just something they read in books.
Many schools, including this University, are similarly shirking their responsibilities to Japanese-American students who want to continue their education, and to their own regularly enrolled students who need to broaden their knowledge of people and the world.
No free world can ever be attained if those who love liberty, equality, and fraternity, have not learned to break down the barriers effected by race and creed, and go hand in hand to new understanding and cooperation.

Rock Chalk Talk
By HANNA HEDRICK
The Early Bird: All because the bridegroom failed to observe what has became almost a precedent among bridegrooms, Kaw Koettes are now neglecting their studies in an attempt to get Maurine Blair ready for her marriage, which, she has learned, is coming off in McPheron rather soon. Instead of holding up the services for an hour with his absence or even not getting there at all, Sgt. Charles Zimmerman wires he will arrive at the church two weeks ahead of schedule due to a change in furloughs.
The Typical Freshman: Dean Froebinius, freshman, was converted into an apple-shining detachment when preparations were being made for the Carruth party Saturday night. Dean and the apples disappeared into the basement. Ten minutes later Dean emerged, knocked on the door of Miss Nellis, housemother, and apologized in all seriousness for bothering her. He was sorry, but he couldn't seem to find the apple polish.

Why the rush: Liz Niven had forgotten her activity book so she went downstairs in the library to call Roommate Shirley Rinker at Corbin. After some confusion with central, a distant female voice answered and Liz began explaining how she was terribly sorry to have left the book in the bureau drawer but she dressed and left in such a hurry that morning——. The voice
was cool and unsympathetic. By some supreme mixup, Liz had been connected with a men's rooming house in Emporia.
"As Pants the Hart": Nine freshmen of Battenfeld are men of the world as of last Saturday and initiation. Early in the morning the youngsters were routed out of bed, blindfolded, and marched in their pajamas (no coats) up to Watkins hall where forewarned girls muffed their instructions by drowning upperclassmen and all with individual Niagara falls from every upstairs window.
Sounds like a good deal: A certain housemother in a certain hall on the hill almost resigned her position when she was inspecting rooms and found in one a large commercial sign saying "Service Men Welcome."

Anne Louise Rossman, College senior, will be the editor of the student directory this year. Peggy Davis, president of the All-Student Council, announced today.
He thought is was funny: The world's worst joke has just been invented by a journalism prof in the "Shack." It goes:
She: "My father is a mail carrier.' He: "Oh! Just a postal packin' pappa, eh?"
Everett G. Stith, composing room foreman of the University Press, suffered a slight concussion of the brain, and abrasions and cuts to the head in a fall at his home last evening. While he was sawing a limb from a tree, the limb knocked the ladder from under him and he was thrown heavily to the ground, a distance of 18 feet. He is being treated at his home. A cut over the right eye was inflicted by his broken spectacles.
"The directory will not be published until after the 16-week semester begins, when the new civilian and A-12 students may be included." Miss Rossman said.

No Tax Increase Expected By House
MOM'S CAFE
Washington (INS) — Republican members of the house ways and means committee issued a statement declaring that "a further increase in the federal income tax burden at this time would be unwise."
1022 Mass.
The statement is interpreted to mean that there will be no substantial increase in federal taxes, and possibly that no new tax bill will be passed at all.
Opposition of both Democrats and Republicans on the committee has already killed the treasury tax program intended to raise an additional 10 billion 500 million revenue a year.
Technical Sgt. John A. Lovold has been promoted to 1st sergeant, Sgt. Lovold is stationed with the ASTP at the University.
