---The Kansan Comments---strategy, or force of numbers. That reason is the omnipresent sense of humor peculiar to the American people, which the servicemen didn't forget to take with them to the South Pacific, Africa, and Alaska.
Truman Bares Oil Field Deal
Since the beginning of World War II, many reports of large profit-taking and swindle have found their way into headlines. Undoubtedly, before the war's end, many more will be brought to the attention of the American people-signers of the bill for this war.
One of the choice bit of profit-taking under the guise of war expeditiony was unearthed by the Truman committee last week in Washington after an investigation that carried them to Canada's Northwest Territories, some 100 miles south of the Arctic Circle.
Here, buried in the Canadian wilderness, at a cost estimated between one hundred million and a quarter billion dollars, the U.S. Army is developing an oil field complete with 1600 miles of pipeline, refinery, tank farms, and new roads.
Gasoline and oil is needed for planes of the Asiatic fighting force; developing it on the spot is more convenient than transporting it by trucks, tank cars, or ships. Perhaps, the need being urgent, the United States can afford to foot such a bill.
The catch in the huge development is this; a Canadian Order in Council provides that six months after the war's end half of all wells and developments will revert to the Dominion, the other half to the company developing the project, in this case Imperial Oil, Ltd, Standard Oil subsidiary.
For the use of the oil field it developed, apparently the United States Government gets the privilege of losing it all at the close of the war, half of it to a private corporation.
Can this loss be excused on the grounds of expediency or for the sake of private enterprise? — E.E.K.
Humor Is Salvation Of US Forces' Morale
One reason why the United States will win this war has nothing to do with superior equipment, military
Frenchmen fight valiantly because it is for "la belle France," Englishmen because they are well-trained, and Americans because they make the best of a bad situation by making a joke of it.
One of the best illustrations of humor under fire was reported by the Associated Press. Somewhere in New Guinea a battered relic of World War I's air force was putting its last putt, and smoke poured from its wings.
The Australian pilot advised his passenger, an American colonel, to jump immediately. Engrossed in a hair-raising magazine story, the officer yelled: "Hold her nose up a minute more, Smitty; I have just one more paragraph of this story to read and I don't want to crash until I finish it."
Safely on ground, the American was furious about the whole thing. He didn't mind the crackup, but the article had turned out to be a continued story.
WILKINS SINGS---by Don Jose in the second act of the opera, "Carmen", by Bizert. He is rejoining his military unit when the rendezvous with Carmen takes place. He shows her the flower which she gave him in their first meeting and tells her that he cherished it through his long prison term.

English Numbers Pleased Audience A group of English and American numbers concluded the program. A light, humorous song, "Long Ago in Alcala" (Messager) delighted the audience. It told the typical story of all love songs—the lovely maid, the handsome man, the kiss, and the wedding bliss—ending with words to the effect that as long as the melody was good, the lyrics didn't matter. "Go Lovely Rose" (Carpenter) and "The Temper of the Maid" (Head) were included in this group.
The second faculty recital will present Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano, at 8 o'clock Monday evening in Fraser theater.

"The girls here are very unfriendly," he says. "Putting a man in uniform doesn't change him overnight in spite of what some people say. There should be some way that servicemen can meet the girls here. I don't think a date bureau would work.
Bill "Dude" Dooley, ASTRP, from Minneapolis, wants to get back "north." Kansas is too far south for him. That, in spite of his being born in Savannah, Ga., and spending the first six years of his life there. The location of Kansas isn't the only thing that's wrong with it either, according to Dude.

"Too much partiality is shown the Navy on the rampus. At the opening revocation they played 'Anchors Aweigh.' We sat and waited for them to play the 'Caisson Song,' but they never did. That's a small thing, but it's just an indication of the way everything is."
Dude wants to have a dance band or be a music critic after the war. He plays the piano, strictly in the modern style. "I don't want to have anything to do with classical music," he said.

Kansan Board Votes To Authorize Staff
Because of the decrease in the size of the paper, the board decided that a feature editor would no longer be necessary, so the office was eliminated. Frances Abts, managing editor of the Kansan, was elected secretary. Pat Foster was named regular wire editor, and Bill Kanaga, Army-Navy sports writer. The board elected Jeanne Shoemaker campus editor.
Owing to the absence of the president, Betty Lou Perkins, Joy Miller acted as chairman.
A report on the Summer Session Daily Kansan was given by Prof. Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the department of journalism.

Abernathy's Advice Aids in Drilling Well
As a result of the advice of D.G. E. Abernathy of the Geological Survey staff located at the University, the Jayhawk Ordnance Work recently drilled a deep bedrock water well and used a successfu acid treatment which increased the capacity of the well more than four times, the State Geological Survey of Kansas reports.
The Geological Survey office has offered to send copies of this report for mailing costs.
A report just published by the Survey gives a description of the rocks penetrated, their solubility and the quality of the water they contain. The pumping tests made on the well and its acid treatment are described.
