asf Q 'zive Page 13 To most of us Hforeignersl' in the years pre-September, 1948, Kansas was a state of climatic anomalies, Alf Landon and the remnants of the Republican party, the drys and the great rolling plains on which was grown the grain for the empty mouths of European children, and finally, K. S. T. C. Four months of orientation served to dispel many of our illusions-not those, though, in regard to the climate or the Republican party. And those same four months have persuaded us that Kansas, though somewhat isolated geographically and by virtue of the KCS's Blackbird, is both sincerely concerned with the tenor and tempo of the rest of the world and certainly the friendliest and warmest-hearted people in this sprawling nation. In this regard, we newcomers, are convinced that K. S. T. C., as an educational institution, and through its student body, is playing an increasing role. We are, though still in the process of acclimation, as a group of instruc- tors, appreciative of the faith and interest the College's administration has evidenced in us by asking us to come here to teach. And we are just as grateful for the courtesy and sympathy with which our arrival has been attended by the community and particularly, by the student body. Certainly this recent immigration of instructors should do much to heal the wounds caused by the great political debacle of 1932, as well as to per- suade a group of untried educators that Kansans are to be a potent force in the world of the future.
