Bad Psychology Used In Naples Bombing
The Nazi psychology is slipping.
The Nazi psychology is slipping. Although it is probably only the party leaders who make such a to-do about their psychology, the destruction of the Naples post office with a delayed action mine during its busy hour could not have been calculated to foster amicability between the former allies.
Some Nazi general who probably never quite understood his Italian cohorts had reasoned that since they were now enemies the fewer the better, and gave the command to plant the mine. He could not help but know that the majority slain would be civilians and a large number of those, women and children.
Regrettable, he probably thought to himself, but women are useless unless bearing potential soldiers for the Reich, and these Italian children would grow up to be enemies of the Great Nazi state. Might as well be dead now. It doesn't really matter.
And so the order was given.
The mine went off as scheduled—it was a well-made, precise mine, bearing a "Made in Germany" label and legs and arms and ribbons of flesh mingled with the broken stones of the post office and the buildings around it.
Italians are sentimental about their homes and women and children—sentimental as only a sunny people who consider music and art the most important things in life can be. They have just thrown off the yoke of dictatorship and oppression, so incompatible with their joyous open nature. They are now waging war against that dictatorship to bring back their happiness and peace.
Soldiers lying dead on the battlefield have at least died for the cause of freedom. Civilians, women and children lying piecemeal in the streets, have served no purpose, not even that of the Reich.
So the Italian reasons as he searched among the carnage for his own child or wife, and he sweats in his heart an undying hatred for those who have perpetrated this outrage.
Kuersteiner Studies At Michigan U.
The directorship of the University Symphony orchestra has been assumed by Prof. Russell L. Wiley, who is also director of the University band. Professor Wiley's teaching load has been absorbed by other members of the School of Fine Arts faculty.
Karl Kuersteiner, professor of violin and director of the University Symphony orchestra, has been granted a year's leave of absence to study toward his doctorate at the University of Michigan, according to a statement from Donald M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
Professor Kuersteiner was associate professor of violin at the University from 1925 until 1940 when he became full professor. He is a graduate of the Chicago Musical College and received his master of music degree from the University of Michigan.
Engineers Receive Testing Machine
A new hydraulic testing machine was received last week by the School of Engineering and Architecture. The machine is capable of exerting a pressure of 300,000 pounds. This is more than the two testing machines the school already had can use, Dean J. O. Jones said.

Rock Chalk Talk
In the deep dark recesses of the med lab: A fly took a drink of some preserving fluid, namely, wood alcohol, and found it intoxicating. With malicious forethought, four medics, Dan Huebert (the army half of the twins), Bud Stockton, Metz Wright, and Steve Phelps began to watch the results. They helped the fly to another drink; it was now chug-a-lugging it down with zeal, and showed signs of becoming soused. It was having difficulty propelling in a straight line. After the unfortunate fly reached the stink stage, the boys got out their electrical apparatus and applied a little artificial stimulation to revive it. A few more drinks and it departed for the hereafter. The medics were so fascinated by their intellectual experiment that they have decided to perform the same experiment, (modified, of course) on themselves, substituting a more suitable beverage for wood alcohol.

Vic Layton, ASTP, is the man from Brooklyn who says, "Nobody here likes my accent." It is hard for a Kansan to tell what he's saying most of the time. Vic says his accent is more typical of Massachusetts than Brooklyn. He has lived in both places.
Working days in a defense plant and going to school nights at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute kept Vic busy before his life in uniform began. He has been a tool designer and a commercial photographer. In school he took a sideline in philosophy. He was the roving photographer for the school paper while in high school. Later his work as an Associated Press photographer took him over all of New York city. He was on the 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. beat.
Washed-out of the air force because his eye sight is defective at high altitudes, Vic still wants to fly. After the war he plans on selling airplanes cheap enough for the average citizen to buy. He's also interested in developing the national youth hostel movement in this country.
Commenting on the people of Lawrence he said, "There are more people here of the New England Puritan type than there are in New England. Some of them are okay when you get to know them."
The Kansas State Board of Regents were guests at the KU-Iowa State football game Saturday afternoon, following the board's fall meeting in the office of Chancellor Deane Malott in the morning.
Regents Attend Game After Board Meeting
Members of the board present were Lester McCoy, chairman, from Garden City; Hubert Brighton, secretary from Topeka; Willis N. Kelly, Hutchinson; Dr. L. B. Spake, Kansas City; J. B. Driscoll, Russell; Drew McLaughlin, Paola; and Oscar Stauffer, Topeka.
Dr. L. J. Cooke, "grand old man of Minnesota U. sports," died August 19.
in the Gamma Phi house, it just sounded good. At any rate, they spent an enjoyable afternoon with Betty Learned.

Another way to get acquainted. Peggy Ann Small, Sigma Kappa pledge, and Clara Lee Oxley went to Frank Strong to get their K-books. Upon arriving at the supposed place at the supposed time, they inquired for the subject in demand, of two boys who looked efficient and a trifle intelligent. One of them immediately took Peggy's name, address and telephone number. Upon completing this vital information, the boys said thanks and left.

It was a rough night: The Kappa pledges, as customary, were tossed in the basement window upon returning from their walkout last week. Actives who happened to be on the premises around 10:30 p.m., were unwontunate. Phi Gam's and Sig Alph's chased Virginia Gunsolly up the Hill until she surrendered and showed them not only her key but also a Phi Delt pin. Slightly chagrined, the boys took out after dignified Doris Shepherd, who failed in explanation and was tossed in none too gently with the pledges.
