---The Kansan Comments----
Faith Must Be Kept With "Little Peoples"
Chief contender for the title "Pistol Packin' Mama" should be the 22-year-old Dutch coed recently arrested by the Nazis for the assassination of the police president of Utrecht, a Nazi collaborationist. The young woman was carrying three pistols at the time of her arrest, British newspapers stated.
Such an act by a student and a woman shows the rising flood of opposition to Nazi control in the occupied countries brought about by the heartening battle being waged in Italy and Russia.
The "little peoples" of Europe are stirring more and more restlessly in their bonds as hope of rescue becomes no longer a question of "if" but "when." They feel the strength welling up in them, a strength which enables them not only to keep life going until succor arrives but which prompts them to struggle with their chains.
gie with their clothes.
Sometimes in seeking to throw off their fetters, the enslaved peoples of Europe find that the chains cut even more deeply when they throw all their weight against the iron bonds. But with release in sight, the pain only goods them on to new attempts. If they cannot free themselves, they can at least make their jailer extremely uncomfortable.
It is with these bent but unbroken peoples that the United Nations must keep faith. The war will have been fought in vain if these people who have kept freedom burning within them cannot again take their places in the sun of liberty, equality, and fraternity. ___

A man's best friend: Prof. Elmer Beth of the journalism department took pity on a small dog which followed Clara Lee Oxley, Sigma Kappa, up on the hill and to the Law of the Press class. Said Beth (seeing that the dog was bored, and might as well be let out) "I know this isn't very interesting for you so we'll just let you be excused." The door was opened and closed on the pooch—who sat outside and howled for the next 20 minutes. An attache was dispatched to let the unhappy creature out of the building completely. But when the door opened again, the dog rushed in the class room and sat at attention in the front row.
editorials on how there are weak-minded even among canines, Prof. fessor Beth recalls the incident with pride.

We're all young once: This summer before she became such an authority on men, Hazel DeWald admits she used to get in too much trouble. For instance, there was the time two old acquaintances home on furfurlough—neither knowing the other—approached her at a party, and she had to introduce them. Their ranks baffled her, but finally after some fast mental arithmetic, she concluded one was a sergeant because he had three stripes on his sleeve and the other was a private because he had no stripes. "Sergeant—this is Private ...” said Hazel. But the private had a bar on his shoulder.
Why open houses are never forgotten: Leading out among hill sororities, the Chi O's announced in the Kansan that they would entertain from 9 until 12 with open house Saturday. Saturday morning promptly at 9 what seemed to be all of Lindley hall began pouring into the Chi O. front door. Even though blue jeans, put up hair, and house coats and pajamas, were very apparent, it took the boys a surprisingly long time to leave.
Out of respect to an unpredictable strapless evening gown, Beverly Bohan sat down and played bridge all evening.

Signal Corps engineers working with Western Electric and Bell Telephone Laboratories developed this new all-purpose military headset.
Here is another instance of Bell System service to our nation at war.
SIGNALMEN formerly saw action without helmets because old-style headsets were too bulky. Now miniature receivers with earplugs are being used for both radio and telephone work.
Fitting snugly under the helmets they give better reception by keeping out battle noise . . . they are cooler, more comfortable.
NOW signalmen can wear helmets with this new headset!
Margaret Ott and Clark Hilton, Sig Alph, caused some confusion by falling flat on the floor in the middle of the evening. Margie later explained in all seriousnes to Margaret Euler, (to whom Clark is pinned) that, even though Clark was wonderful, she hadn't just swooned away. Someone really tripped her.
War calls keep Long Distance lines busy . . . That's why your call may be delayed.
