There'll Be Some Changes Made
One of the possibilities is that Hess will spill some of the Axis plans for the conduct of the war. If this happens, the British will have a great advantage in the future. But even if he doesn't squeal, it would seem that the Nazis must suffer nightmares fearing that he will. The threat of such action will probably cause a shift in German plans, and that change will consume time, which the Allies need more than anything right now. Elaborate plans for military campaigns are not made overnight, as the British have learned to their regret, especially such plans as the Nazis make. Two possibilities loom large. Either the Germans will waste the time so precious to their success in building new plans, or they will whip up new plans with less care than is their custom. Either way, the British are the beneficiaries.
The flight of Rudolf Hess to Scotland is certainly the most unusual event of the war so far, if not the most important. The possibilities the event brings to mind are innumerable. Of course, the reasons for his flight are not known for certain as yet, but the mere fact that such a high mogul of the Nazis is in the hands of the British is a morale builder of no small importance.
Of course, it may be that the Nazis will be confident enough in their strength to go ahead with their original plans, knowing that the British are so hopeless outnumbered and badly equipped that they might not be able to do anything about it. Even in this event, the British have the advantage of knowing what's going to happen next, even if they can't stop it.
For the first time since the war started, the British seem to have the upper hand.
Il Duce has ordered that bachelors may henceforth receive promotion in army and navy. He has found, presumably that they fight no worse than married men and are possibly not as eager to "get away from it all."
Americans who are proud of their health, and look fondly at the drop in contagious and infectious diseases in the twentieth century, are being upset by the doctors of the Selective Service Act.
Tin Soldiers
This indication of poor physical condition throughout the United States is bad news for the American Medical association. A need is plainly shown for a large scale public health drive, which, in turn, points to the need of socialized medicine in the United States. The opposition of the association to socialized medicine is well known to everyone who reads the newspapers. A national health bill introduced by Senator Wagner of New York in February, 1939, was opposed by the Association. Earlier, it had shown its disapproval of socialized medicine by boycotting the Group Health association organized in Washington, D.C., in 1937 among federal employees.
Examining physicians report that 40 per cent of all young men being examined for the Selective Service Act are being rejected because of physical unfitness. Most of the trouble seems to lie in defective teeth and eyes, and a general condition of physical unfitness caused by soft living, the depression, and mental disorders. One Board doctor even blames the automobile for the high percentage of non-durable draftees.
The latest milestone in the quarrel has been the conviction of the association for violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
Now that a need for socialized medicine in the United States is clearly shown, it looks as if the Association is going to have to back down in its opposition. Both public opinion and national defense clearly show the need for an organized health program in the United States which apparently cannot be offered under the existing scope of medical service.
All during the war, foreign newspaper men in Rome have been forbidden to tell of Italian troop movements even when they are pretty sure the troops aren't going far.
ROCK CHALK TALK
By HEIDI VIETS
There was a knock at room 302, Corbin hall. "Corne in," called the girls.
"All clear?" inquired a masculine voice. The girl tense wondering.
In walked the delivery boy from the Hillside with an order. They had phoned for it several minutes before, and since the lad was new at the Hillside, he thought his duty was to deliver it to the room. He had walked by the desk and right up the Corbin steps without qualm.
First to turn in his string book of correspondence to the home town paper under the Student Statewide Activities Commission was Lee Huddleston, whose column, "K. U. Komment" in the Oskaloosa Independent must have made many friends for the University. Under a by-line of "by Lee" he gave the folks at home college chitchat that should set an example for every Kansas paper in a town which sends students to K. U.
Pleasure riders driving by the Phi Psi house last night wondered what was going on. The answer—the boys were having a bit of a golf game at the south side of the house.
Bill Allen has imported a midget golf course from Kansas City, and installed it on the Psi lawn.
City and Installed It on the City Blow of blows came to former Varsity golf captain Bob Busler. He laboriously made the pee wee course in 68. Par is 36.
The other night Hubert McCall phoned Dean Paul B. Lawson.
"It's all off," he snapped when Lawson answered.
"What?" asked the dean.
"Your hair," said Killer McCall.

Don't Need Creams
Her opinions about college girls in pursuit of good looks may be taken from a contemporary viewpoint, since her own husband is just finishing law school, and she is constantly in touch with college people only a little younger than herself.
definitely to Kansas beauty-seekers.
"I like the beauty parlor business," she sighs, "but I do wish it could be done sitting down. My idea of the ideal job is anything that includes sitting in a chair. I start to work at 8 a.m. and don't finish my appointments until about 6 p.m. My own personal union happens to operate on a 60 hour week."
She believes, too, that upsweat hair is definitely out, because it is too hard to put up, and so hard to keep up. "I agree with Orson Welles," she laughed, "who says that a woman
Here are some of the views of a young woman who has been setting college girls hair for eight years. She's a Lawrence product, so her conclusions apply
"The elaborate hair styles that look so well in the magazines or the movies, are always impossible to do at home," she continues, "and my customers soon get tired of trying to struggle with them, and go back to some old standby which they know they can put up themselves."
Getting in other people's hair is the business of most beauty parlor operators. Some of them do it figuratively as well as literally, and it's the customer who suffers. Most of the time, however, the opposite is true. It's the customer who drives the beauty operators mad.
and since men favor simple hair-dos, nearly all girls keep their hair styles elementary. Their only concession to frivolity are a few bangs. The page boy, she believes, is not going to be a standard, leading hair style, since it is so hard to do successfully at home.

Use Simple Hairdress
Coeds Have Natural Beauty
One woman here likes the glamour business, and plans to stay with it for years. As a grooming expert, she disagrees with critics who say that college girls are sloppy.
"My pet peeve, and I know it is the chief complaint of beauty parlors all over the country, is women who are always complaining about their health. They seem to think that fate put me in this booth to listen to their latest symptoms. I get awfully tired of it," she sighed.
"I frankly don't see how they tear around so much, and managed to look so well groomed," she marveled.
with her hair up either looks as though she were going to the opera or to take a bath, depending upon the woman."
One operator here thinks girls have their hair done to please men,
Don't hesitate because you think you haven't got a chance. Charles Wright chairman of the commission, stressed that the size of the paper and the number of publications would be taken into consideration in judging the amount of material printed.
String books will be judged on amount of material which was published, the quality, and the style of the work.
A prize of $25 will be given to the correspondent whose string book best fills these qualifications. Fifteen dollars will go to the second place winner, while the correspondent placing third will receive ten dollars.
Get out the scissors and paste and get to work. All string books which will compete for the prizes given by the Student Statewide Activities Commission must be in the alumni office by 5 o'clock tomorrow night.

Moreau To Deliver Commencement Address
Clippings Deadline Tomorrow
"Blondes are less popular today than they have ever been," she went on to say, "and I think it is just part of a natural reaction. Red heads and brunettes are way out in front."
College girls do not gossip nearly as much as older women, and they are less inclined to be malicious and petty about their own personal likes and dislikes. Neither do they "sucker off" on expensive creams, lotions, and astringents. "I think this is because they have other places to put their money, and besides, their complexions don't need the added care that older women's skins need," said the operator.
