Air Corps Reservists Choose Full Fees Rather Than Credit
In conjunction with the announcement of the ordering to active duty of all Army Aviation Cadet Enlisted Reservists, Laurence Woodruff, registrar, announced Tuesday that the reservists might withdraw immediately with no credit and a full refund of the incidental fees or (he emphasized) they might remain in school through Tuesday, Feb. 16, and draw one-fourth credit with a refund of one-half the incidental fee.
In addition, the University authorities are urging all students so affected to remain in school for one more week in order to obtain credit for the work done so far this semester.
Although, on the surface, this attitude may seem almost hypocritical, it really is not. The announcement is in line with the plan published at the beginning of this semester. It is unfortunate that the reserves are being called up at a time when they seem to be faced with a choice between one-half of their incidental fees or one-fourth credit. In the short space of a week and a half, it would seem, they must lose twenty dollars if they wish to remain in school. Many students, balancing fees against credits, have already dropped out or are planning to drop out.
In reality the University can do nothing else. No college or university may give credits without the payment of fees. In its desire to be generous in the matter of credits, the University must penalize the reservists in regard to fees.
It is to the reservist's best welfare to secure what credits he can get now. After the war is over, there will be a rush to finish college and to find a place in business and industry. Those three or four credits may mean the difference between being able to finish in two semesters instead of three, or four semesters instead of five. One semester may mean the difference between success or failure in one's chosen profession or business.
It is unfortunate, also, that the adjustment between fees and credits cannot be made more equitably. Perhaps more reasonable would be an arrangement whereby three-fourths of the fees are returned and the remaining fourth exchanged for one-fourth credit. Although it is true the expenses of the University are, for all practical purposes, the same for the student who remains in the University for four weeks or the whole semester, one week should make little difference.-J.G.
Stassen's Post-War Police Plan Is Different, But Not Fool Proof
Governor Harold Stassen of Minnesota has joined the ground ranks of the post war planners in presenting an outline for world organization to maintain permanent peace. Stassen's plan—based, as most others, on a liberal concept of internationalism—has one distinguishing characteristic.
The extreme idealists among the post-war planners advocate placing the entire military strength of the world in an international police force and eliminating the military forces and military production of the individual nations.
Just Wondering
If Russell Wiley and his band aren't entitled to a big hand for the way they pinched hit for Governor Stassen Wednesday morning.
Governor Stassen, on the other hand, is realist enough to realize that such a procedure could not immediately work. He knows too well that the American people would never willingly give up the U.S. navy. Instead, he proposes that the United Nations Legion, a world police force consisting of air, naval, and land forces, be backed by the armed strength of the individual United Nations. The governor said we should not place all reliance on the international police force system-at least, not yet.
Such a supplementary world army as he proposes, however, would also bring its problems. How could such a group achieve the sense of unity without which it could not be effective? Where would the manpower come from? Where would they be trained, and by whom? Which nation or nations would furnish the munitions?
Governor Stassen has taken a great load on his young and wide shoulders by stepping into the guessing game of world planning. We admire him for his grit in tackling the problem with a liberalism that is probably offensive to the isolationist elements.
But we hope Governor Stassen can answer questions like the ones above. He will hear lots of them.
Walter Winchell and Drew Pearson, the New York Post claims, were censored in recent broadcasts by Blue Network authorities because their scripts contained criticism of U.S. senators in connection with the prosecution of 33 seditionists.

Since when are senators immune to criticism? Is this America, or isn't it?

That's their story: There seems to have been a veritable epidemic of "accidents" in the last few days, two instances of which came to the attention of your columnist.
Rosemary Schrepfer has been seen around the campus lately sporting a black eye. Her story, strange as it seems, is that she wanted to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to study (whatever one studies at 4 o'clock in the morning) and set her alarm clock accordingly. When, at 4 o'clock, her clock rang, she was so startled that she fell out of the top bunk of a double-decker bed and received the black eye in the process.
The next story is also connected with the top bunk of a double-decker bed. (Perhaps it will replace the doorknob.) Oliver Hughes suffered a broken arm Sunday night. He fell out of the top bunk of a double decker bed.

Hill society: It is reported that Wolves Unlimited is growing by leaps and bounds.
The president, Earl Pickerill, will be leaving soon with the rest of the Army Air Corps reserve.
The organization is thinking of starting a women's auxiliary to be known as the Werewolves. They are trying to persuade Averell Keroher to become president and organizer of the affiliation, Averell, unfortunately, has her own society, "the society for the collection and preservation of 4-F's."

Why don't you get a horse: Prof. L. N. Flint, of the journalism department, was stuck up on the Hill when his car would go only backwards. How he made it down the Hill with the recalcitrant vehicle is a mystery, but he managed to get it to a garage. Now the thing will go in every gear but second.

The spice of life: I talked recently to the Sage of Mt. Oread (sometimes referred to as "ole man Mose"). The weather was spring-like, and the old man turned to thoughts of love. I waited patiently while he ruminated, for I knew that soon pearls of wisdom would fall from his lips. I was not mistaken. He spoke to me of marriage, and these were the epigrams he threw to me:
"Marriage and hanging," said the Sage, "go by destiny."
"Marry your sons when you will," said the Sage, "your daughters when you can."
"If marriages are made in heaven," said the Sage about a mutual friend, "he had but few friends there."
"Marriage," concluded the Sage, shaking his head sagely, "makes strange bedfellows."
No Career For Jill Peck Army Her Life
They call her "the army brat" and she simply hates the navy. That's Jill Peck, Pi Phi, and the daughter of a colonel in the U. S. Army at Fort Leavenworth.
Born in Hawaii, Jill can boast of having lived in twelve states and also includes Panama on the list. She claims the army is the only life for her and plans to marry back into the army after she has worked for a year or two. ketball is best to watch, she claims. Jill especially enjoys the bridge tournaments held at the Union. Liber Sandhagen's Postur
Jill is majoring in chemistry and hopes to get a job in industrial chemistry upon graduation. She still insists that she is not a career woman, and will go back into the army. On Dean's Honor Roll
Jill has been on the Dean's Honor roll every year since she has been here. She manages to take place in a great many activities in addition to her grades. Jill is point system manager of the WSGA council, business manager of WAA, intramural manager of Pi Phi, and also secretary of Pi Phi. Until about a month ago, Jill was major of the CVC. She has been on the YWCA council, a student advisor, and writer. She now handles women's intramural articles for the Jayhawker magazine.
She prefers golf to any other sport,
that is, in which to participate. Bas-
Jill likes Carl Sandberg's poetry, Spencer Tracy's acting, and Italian Spaghetti. She also enjoys going to the Union for a coke. If she has any leisure time, Jill wanders up to the gym and gets into a fast game of bad-minton. Outside of Hill activities, Jill prefers to attend the plays in the Music hall in Kansas City, Mo.
Jill is really saving for the war effort. She puts her hair up with colored cloth instead of bobble pins. She is a hard worker as evidenced by determination to get the ten points needed to get a letter in WAA. She walked ten miles in one of the blizzards this winter to get those points.
