Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
We have been shocked by the number of flagrantly unpatriotic letters which have been printed in the Kansan concerning the shortened Christmas vacation. We are dumbfounded to learn of the number of "Axis-sympathizers" we have in our midst here at the University.
We are becoming suspicious of our roommates, fearing that they are fifth-columnists. They want to go home for Christmas, thus forfeiting the war to the Japanese. They blame the administration for the decision, when we all know that it came straight from the MSC. Why in these normal war times should they want to spend Christmas with their relatives before they are drafted? Ridiculous!
As fine arts majors, some of them cannot see that their services are more vital to the war effort than the officers in training at Annapolis, the vets at Kansas State, and the engineers at Purdue, who have been subjugated to the mistreatment of extended vacations.
Further exhibiting their narrow-mindedness, they have refused to believe that the "cramming" to be caused by the shortened semester will increase their efficiency. They seem to bellieve that a two-weeks period might have provided them with some time to catch up in their studies.
Thankfully, we do not have so many of these students who are disgruntled. We think it the duty of the great majority of us students, who would rather go to class than eat, to make the others see the light. We are willing to take the initiative in the formation of a Union of Harmonious Thinkers to Win the War With No Vacations.
Such students would concentrate mightily upon their commando training during Christmas week so that they might realize some value from remaining in school during the holiday season. Surely, then the Jap will tremble and Hitler will throw his hands up in despair.

P. S. All thinking students and faculty members should make it a point to crowd on the same trains Christmas, because the service men are probably tired of sitting, anyway.

RATHER BE RIGHT---ward trip Christmas Eve. Servicemen and civilian travelers are expected to fill trains and busses to capacity.
Abraham Lincoln was a noted humorist as well as a great president. It is to him we shall ever look for the palatable way of expressing an eternal truth. When a friend inquired as to how he felt about being president, he compared himself with the man who was riding out of town on a rail after having been tarred and feathered. A voice from the crowd asked him how he liked it and he replied: "Were it not for the honor of the thing. I think I would prefer to walk."
(continued from page six) were the ill-assorted rocks and bricks with which the myrtl was stoned. Ay, pity the president!

Kansan Poll to Help Students Ride Home
Five boxes are located at convenient spots on the University Campus ready to receive the "Travelers' Poll" blanks of students, so that transportation officials in this city may receive advance information on the Christmas holiday homeward sojourn. The boxes have been placed in Fraser hall, Frank Strong hall, Marvin hall, Watson library, and the Journalism building.
Transportation officials have estimated that unless some steps are taken, approximately half of the student body will have to stand on their home.
Indicating the expected trend in Christmas travel this year, some of the railroads have already limited the use of company passes as one means of relieving some of the congestion.
Transportation officials in this city have indicated that if the Travelers' Poll receives sufficient response from the student body, that steps will be taken to bring additional rolling-stock here for the more crowded hours and routes.
They have, however, emphasized that such a move can be made only if the students cooperate wholeheartedly in the attempt to secure the necessary advance information.
The blank to be filled was carried in yesterday's issue of the Kansan and is reprinted today. In those houses in which there is an insufficient number of blanks for all occupants, the residents are asked to make their own blanks patterned after that printed in this paper.
