STUDENT OPINION
Opinions in this column are those of the Individual writer and not
necessarily those of The Dally or the University
Sincp W 1 n t o n Churchill's
speech at Fulton Mo lust March
o the chasm in-tween the western
ixiwtrs and Russia has been open-
ing steadily wider American press
anil officials denounced the ad-
dress of Sir Churchill at the time
but they are following sulwtanl tal-
ly the jioliry that he advocated by
the “get-tough-with-Russia” cam-
paign of Secretary Byrnes
The position of the vnited
States under President Roosevelt
(luring the war that of mediator
between the conflicting forces of
Britain and Russia lias been
abandoned and we have entered
the struggle on the British side
with such completeness that we
ourselves have become the leaders
of the anti-Soviet coalition

Victory In Defeat —
Sooner fans were very disheartened in losing the Army
game 21 to7 after watching the OU team outplay the Cadets
in most departments
Perhaps bowing to the strong military aggregation wasn’t
as bad a streak of luck as most Oklahomans would think
Sav the Sooners had beaten Army The OU team would
be battling under strong pressure in its remaining nine games
This could certainly lie a liability to the Sooner eleven since
there are many other grid powerhouses on the Oklahoma
schedule some of them appearing stronger than Army
A victory over Army may have bloated the Sooner grid-
sters with confidence and egotism This would certainly en-
danger the fine fighting spirit displayed Oklahoma at Vest
Point and would eventually undermine the heads-up ball play-
ing of the team
As it stands now the Sooners have tasted defeat the hard
way and will undoubtedly be consistently on the guard from
the experience with the Cadets
By the close of the current grid season Sooner fans may
realize the Y'alue of the Army game as it was The Cadet in-
cident may spark the OU team to the Big Six crown along
with a few important other victories on the side

of Dr Goehbels Given thin
chillier that it has long hoped
for n division between rant and
west there in little doubt that-
Germany would again return to
menace the peoples of the
globe
Mr Wallace has watched with
increasing alarm the slow and er-
ratic unfolding of this fatal policy
At New York he advocated the
only risible alternative an attempt
at conciliation with Russia rather
than all-out alliance with Britain
a return to the role of mediator
Russia might or might not he

eonellkitiiin failed there would
Mill le lime to revert to unyield-
ing opposition The possibilities
for mbit are problematic)
but at least Mr Wallare's course
offers a chance of escape front
the approaching untold horror of
an atomic war
Expenses Vs GI Bill
While much has been said alxrnt the benefits of the GI
bill for the Y'eteran in school the time has come when every
veteran realizes that $90 a month is only a help towards edu-
cation and not a complete expense account
Take into consideration the plight of the married veteran
living at tjie south base Rooms rent at the very reasonable
rate of $13 a month However both veteran and wife ate
forced to eat out at a minimum cost of $90 a month Add to
that $13 a month for bus fare in the case of couples and your
veteran lias already spent $120 just $30 a month in the red
Of course this does not include expense for clothes recreation
and other incidentals which run from $30 to $50 a month
Even more worse is the plight of the veteran with
children If he nets bv on $200 a month lie’s watching his
w- n j
pennies Veterans have met the situation well with part-time
work for themselves and in many cases full time for their
wives There have lieen few complaints Most ex GI’s apprcc-j
iate what help the): are getting
But a public that is still'suffering under the illusion that
the government is paying the veteran’s way through college
must realize that such is far from true -
For the self-supporting Y'eteran it is safe to say he is pay-
ing just as much of his own way through school now as he
did liefore the war without government sulisistcncc and post
war inflated prices
Harry Culver
Countless millions will rile if the
prospect of war heroine reality
and no stone should be left unturned-in
attempts to avoid a con-
flict which this time frightfully
enough promises to be the last
— Truman Richardson
hoards Increase the inflexibility of
the state constitution which has
always been notorious in this res-
pect No one denies that highway
administration in Oklahoma has
been a political football but there
is no excuse for going to the other
extrnie and l-elieve a htghway
cciiimission of substantially all ac-
countability or responsibility to
democratic forces ' y
Must we proceed to place other
normal functions of the state under
liolltically irresponsible boards —
such functions as health police pro-
tection etc?
In thr second place thr plan
proposed will Impose an exces-
sive cost for overall highway ad-
ministration — four rommlsHloit-
ers at MJMO per annum nr a to-
tal of 823JMM A first rate high-
way engineer will demand a sal-
ary of 8S0JNM nr 823000 Forty-
five of fifty thousand dollars is
a significant figure
Finally the proposal violates ail
experience and all principle of
administrative organization It is
more thon strange that business-
men who understand the value of
unity of command in day by day
administration in large or small
Imsircss ente-prlse would propose
four bosses and a “straw lioss” for
highway admin: ration in Okla-
homa Such divided command must
result in h stalmate often per-
haps on u purely partisan basis
since not more than itvn mem-
bers ran hr of the same party
Y need n highway commission
which would serve on a per diem
basis fni m anti plan highway pol-
icy and submit the execution of
such plans and policy to a proper-
ly qualified highway engineer ap
pointed by the hoard
The proposal ought to be defeat
ed because it will not serve th
worthwhile puiKica of those wh
sponsor it
