---The Kansan Comments---and prepared to drive the Express, on its rims, down the cement steps. Evidently they made much noise because the Theta's thought they were two Sigma Chi's and drenched the policemen as they bumped down the steps in the brakeless Express. The Sigma Chi's found it again and expressed it back to the front lawn again.
—An Editorial—
An Editorial Italy, Not Badoglio Will Be Good Ally
War makes strange bedfellows. Yesterday Italy crawled in with the Allies, and now it will be a scramble for the covers.
Not that it isn't wonderful to have the Italian people with us in fact as well as in spirit after all these years, but to have down at-the-heels militarists like Marshal Badoglio placed alongside Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin in a council for the conduct of war and the peace, makes one wonder if all the fascism is arrayed on the other side.
Badglio, who made the declaration of war against Germany because he could stand no longer against public opinion or because he decided butter for his bread was less rationed on the Allied side, does not seem much of an improvement over Mussolini except that he hasn't had as much to swell his head. And he isn't as amusing.
Although a self-admitted fascist-hater, Badoglio was quite useful to Mussolini during the Abyssinian campaign. His methods of slaughtering the defenseless Ethiopians might prove handy in this war, too.
Of course, the entrance of Italy into the war has all the material, strategic, and military points in its favor. Instead of having to guard the Italians, Allied troops will fight alongside them. The productive capacity of Italy will be added to the attack.
Since we have been trying to take care of the impoverished Italians, anyway, their changed status cannot put any more drain on food-stuffs and materials than has already developed. By the time the war is over, the Italians ought to be pretty well along toward self-support, thus allowing more attention to the long-suffering occupied countries of Europe who are as much our allies as spirit and hope can make them.
On the whole, Italy will make a nice ally even if her help is nominal, and probably Badoglio will not break faith with the United Nations. We can keep on holding our noses until the war is over and the Italians can get a real leader at last.
Jap Brutality Is Not Imagined
Miss Gwen Dew, who lectured to a capacity crowd in Fraser Theater Tuesday afternoon, told interviewers of many atrocities suffered by herself and her friends while she was a Jap prisoner for six months.
The experiences of Miss Dew have been incorporated in the motion picture, "Behind the Rising Sun," which opens at the Granada with an Owl Show Saturday night, and runs through Sunday for five days
Miss Dew is emphatic in her statement that the many incidents of brutality shown in the film are not figments of imagination but are all based on fact.
The Japs now control an Empire of over a million square miles, conquered sines their conquest began, and it is the richest in the world, containing practically every resource needed for a long and costly war, Miss Dew pointed out. These facts prompted her to caution Americans against laughing at the conviction of the "little sons of Heaven" that they will ultimately rule the world, until after we have whipped them.-Adv.

No parking—restricted area: Sigma Chi pledges generously donated a present to members of Kappa Alpha Theta, after walking out with their pledges Tuesday night. The gift was the Jolliffe hall Express, a stripped-down buggy which has long since lost its "get up and go." Theta's found it on their front lawn.
Since the thing was so unsightly, Mrs. Little, housemother, summoned a junking committee of two policemen who arrived around midnight

Don't get around much any more: Phi Delt pledges were discussing college in general one night at the dinner table when one mentioned that Deane Malott's son was in his class. "Who's this guy Malott?" asked freshman Arnie Nye in all seriousness. "Some big shot on the campus?"

They're rough and tough: Alpha Chi's went up to the gym to practice volleyball ball and came back a "beat" group. Included among the injured were Sarah Wills, Peggy Smith, and Beverly Walters, all of whom sprained their fingers. If the Alpha Chi's are so rugged on themselves, what will happen to their real opponents in intramural games—besides mass murder?

Milton Boyd is from Freeport, Ill. You may remember from your American history that Freeport was the scene of the most important Lincoln-Douglas debate and the home of the Freeport Document. There must be something in the air there that makes people argumentative. Milton will argue about anything. His favorite subject of late is the unsocial attitude of civilians toward soldiers.

Plans to go to Illinois U. and Northwestern to study psychology have been temporarily thwarted, but he expects to take them up again after the war. Milton wants to be a psycho-analyst.
In about two weeks, he will play a violin solo in Hoch auditorium. He burlesques imitations of famous violinists. Milton will be one of the tallest violinists ever to perform here.
Right now he wants to see a little fighting before it's all over. He has a special incentive: his brother, a captain in the Army Air Corps, was killed during the first week of the war.
