"Rhythm of the Rain Drops" to Morrison but Just Plain Betty to You . . . We've Found Mama's Child . . . and Thanks Jesie.
It seems only fitting in these days a cloud, clouds, and showers that a mail story should start things off—you can decide whether there’s a bang to it. It’s a little unsettling when the week ends and we just hear about it one-up our underground system seem to be slipping somewhere but we also know that the participants in the plot wouldn't want us to overlook it so—do you know? You're not going to be talking about the tale of how she got her name. "Twas a storm and darky night without (what)? and Heaton and Dalyplum hid themselves off to make woo in that same darkness amid surroundings in the town. They were hiding side in general and, last but not least, Kansas mud. Came the time to drive back the five miles to the pavement and the car shied into a ditch, made up its mind to stay, and what could happen if they tried to hitch-hike the rest of the way into town and the Pi Phi House. Once more, we ask, do you know "Rhythm of the Rain" ete?
Have you heard the sad tale of Becky Richardson of Corin Hall Castle? The other day she very nicely danced with lotion, went to the mirror to look herself over, and discovered that the lotion was really white sheeer—stranger things have happened probably but that should hold her for a moment.
And in much the same vein as the above, two of the Alpha Gaps betroth themselves to the Jay-Jane rush teeth thinking it was the last W.S.G.A. teef of the year--don't know whether the got themselves all pledged up or not
Comes a tale of true Theta hospitality or what ever you will have with yours Gracie. Barbie Bramwell issued the gracious invitation to a student-lady on the bill (and the chance of her own where she could have eaten free also) and then went off to Kansas City and was nowhere to be found when her guest arrived. 'Tis known as a real waba southern (Kansas) hospitality.
the brethren
Sat next to one of the local "I'm my own mother's little boy" students in the library Monday night. Everything he did he looked around to see that it was really going over with a bang which he in his grown-up glory expected and then he tippaed into a chair moving all evening and moving around in his chair like an old Jersey cow backed up to a rough树 trunk. Looked like the itch was really giving him a fit—much nicer than studying though. We're thinking of trying to get him included in the next musical comedy cast. Wonder if he would suit it with those. Just for the hell of it or if he was one of the brothers.
Wonder just exactly how many of the ladies we heard about objecting to "a uniform divorce law for all the women who were married that all divorced women would have to wear the same uniform of some kind or either other do at one time" could afford, and that we don't know for sure that any of them did but some things we've seen—
Since we're in the wondering mood—wonder if the success of the Kansan depends largely upon one of the journalism majors who constantly walks in on the writing and spends most of his time telling someone else how it should be done but never writes himself, as his manner indicates, the success is due to him, we wish to dedicate this book to prodund thanks for an interest.

VOLUME XXXII
Speakers Disagree On Useful Methods In Ending All War
Propaganda on War and Peace Is Discussed at Last Meeting of Year
Differing principally on the method to bring about peace through peace propaganda, if, as some of the speakers asked, it is not a means for them, the panel and audience of K.U. Peace Action committee roundtable discussion brought to a close the final number of participants with the topic, "Propaganda on War and Peace," last evening
The speakers of the evening at the meeting in central Administration auditorium were Noel Gist, assistant professor of sociology, Charles Brown Broth (Faith College), and Wohl of Hoflein, executive secretary of the Kansas Peace Action committee.
Mr. Hoff's contention was that by electing men who are known to be pro-peace we will eliminate war. He advocated the organization of all peace actionists in each present for the purpose of wounding civilians in the so-called peace groups. The other members of the panel disagreed with Mr. Hoff on the point that war can be abolished by his method, maintaining that we must strike first at the economic basis of our existing social condition and eliminate those groups whose core have been the virtual dictators of our political and governmental policies.
Speaking on the subject of war propaganda, Professor Glist stated, "We are being victimized by war propaganda and we are in time of peace and almost as much as we were during the time of the World War. Our newspapers, most of them, contain stories about the monkeyed interests are instilling in our guildible public a ground work of emotionalism which can be utilized equally to the advantage of those in power."
Charles Brown, who added to and confirmed Prof. Gist's arguments, attempted to convince the audience that we will never end war and our economic evil until we eradicate "misludous capitalism" and closed with the statement that "For anyone who doesn't want to change the economic system, you must be able to handle two things, ardent prayer or revenge in some south sea island."
Prof. Olin Templin of the departmen of philosophy was chairman.
The following questionnaire wa passed out at the meeting with the results given:
Do you believe it possible to remain unprejudiced by propaganda just before and during time of war? 38 per cent, 62 per cent—no.
Will propaganda methods help the cause of peace? 87 per cent—yes. 13 per cent—no.
Do you believe that men like Heart threaten the peace and good neighbor policy of the United States? 100 per cent - yes.
Do you think there is any solution to the problem of false propaganda? 86 per cent-ves. 14 per cent-no.
Is political peace action (as described by Paul Hoff) the best means of preventing impending war? 76 per cent-ves. 24 per cent—no.
"Propaganda on War and Peace" was the closing number of a series of roundtable sponsored by the KU. Peace Action Committee. The organization is planning to conduct another similar series next year. KU will be presenting the roundtable this year are Elizabeth Casswell, chairman of the Peace Action committee, Margaret Jernings, Guy Omer, Nelson Fuson, Crichton Miller, and Dale O'Brien

Noted Blind Astronomer Dies Following Operation
Amazing Memory Made Conclusions Confirmed Later by Others
By the United Press
Chicago, May 14—Dr. Ewin B. Frost, 68, noted bilateral astonomor and director emeritus of the Yerkes observatory, died at Billings Memorial hospital late today after a major operation. He submitted to this study his $ 9 million gallotons, and peritonitis developed.
Dr. Frost retained his standing as one of the country's outstanding astronomers despite the fact that he had been blind for more than 15 years.
His blindness set in after he had completed a 15-year program of stellar observations at the Yerkes observatory at Williams Bay. Wis. In the ambitious program he undertook to map, classify, and observe the stars, of the stars, in the Orion constellation.
Assistants made observations, his wife helped him with scientific notes, and as a mentor he provided new conclusions—corroborated by the subsequent findings of others. He retired as director of Yerkes Observatory in July, 1982, and was succeeded by Dr. Larry Gansel.
Specialists aid the strain of constant peering through the telescope might have contributed to his loss of sight.
His theory was contrary to the commonly accepted "plantless" hyphosthesis suggesting that a dead star passed into space, then fell back into matter which cooled into planets.
He continued to live and work near the mammoth telescope, and recently informed the scientific world that the solar system may have originated as a result of an explosion of a star, probably the sun.
Dr. Frost came into world prominence at the beginning of the century when he made startling discoveries by means of the spectroscope.
He came to the University of Chicago in 1898 from Dartmouth, where he had been director of the college observatory. He was born at Brittleboro, Vt., and studied at Dartmouth, Princeton, Potsdam, and Strassburg.
