University Daily Kansan

Lately, People-to-People caught quite a number of headlines in the Daily Kansan and evoked a sudden interest on campus. All seems so rosy about it: 14 international-minded, hospitality-and friendship-spreading form a board and direct with temperament and vigor international relationships; they even publish a newsletter (at least once in a while).
And the parties they give: swinging, and free beer, just think of that. On top of that you meet all sorts of people, too: members of other Greek groups, and all have so much fun.
It is such a worthwhile opportunity to show your interest especially when you are in a fraternity or sorority. Nothing probably adds more to one's social prestige than your membership in P-t-P.
Only foreign students are not too frequently met, at least not at more private entertainments of P-t-P. If you are not one of those lucky fellows who is cradled in the arms of a well-looked-upon sorority or fraternity where your brothers and sisters take care of you, or if you are not a "swell guy" who fits into the group, you may be given a sister or brother by P-t-P, someone who never shows up and who does not care what you are doing and whether you find your way or not.
If only ASC loses its supervision over P-t-P —yea, then life really begins to be great for this all-loving group.
Only if he comes to show his merits you'll be invited to some dinner and have to say some words of appreciation and off you go again. Maybe that's what you really want: choosing your own friends. But in the beginning it is very hard to do that. P-t-P certainly has done a great job in exchanges to other countries but in helping any foreign student to get acquainted it has failed.
Failed not in the eyes of those many committee members; they love it. And for that reason one should probably rename it into A-t-A: American to Asian (which happens pretty often); or into G-t-G: Greek to Greek (which happens even more often); or Guy to Girl (which happens most of the time.)

On January 1, 1945, a new academic schedule was approved at a meeting of the University Senate, composed of all faculty members who were associate professors, professors and deans. The schedule called for two 18-week semesters and an 8-week summer session each year at the University.
The accelerated program which had been in effect since July, 1943, was necessitated by the establishment of military units on the campus. Proposals for the new schedule were drawn up by the University calendar committee and presented by Verner Smith, chairman. They were passed with minor amendments.

I must disagree with Tim Miller's protest of the annual Military Ball. I, too, feel that killing in any form is immoral and, as an institution which teaches and attempts to justify killing, the military is immoral. I do not feel, however, that protesting the Military Ball will in any way help the situation.
Most boys do not join ROTC for the glamour that institution is supposed to bring; they join because
if they don't they will be drafted sooner or later anyway. I'm sure Mr. Miller could find some better way to combat this great immorality than picketing the Military Ball, which, instead of being a deceptive trap for luring unsuspecting young men into the machine, is probably only an excuse for having a party.
