Guy Fawkes Case A Lesson For Now
Last Saturday passed without much mention in the United States, but it was Guy Fawkes Day, a nationally celebrated holiday, in Great Britain. On Nov. 5, 1605, Guy Fawkes was caught beneath the assembly hall of the House of Lords, preparing to fuse barrels of gunpowder which would destroy the King and Lords. He was a key member in the Gunpowder Plot, supposedly conceived by Catholics in protest to laws restraining members of their church. Fawkes was put to death and Britishers still burn him in effigy on the anniversary of his arrest.
Americans haven't yet named a holiday for a traitor, but we certainly have drummed up a lot of sensationalism about getting them out of key government posts.
Yet there is something about the Fawkes case that seems to ring a little truer, to smack a little more of quick, sure justice. Fawkes was put to death for conspiring to blow up the House of Lords and assassinate the King. He was not arrested for conspiring to advocate killing the King, or for conspiring to advocate to teach to advocate to kill the King.
Guy was caught red-handed, almost with the punk in one hand and the fuse in the other, a good case of "clear and present danger."
And while dummies of Guy Fawkes are being burned, the orators in Hyde Park can still say whatever they please, as long as they don't take action.

It looks as if winter has hit the University for sure this time, and soon the saddle oxfordes and loafers will be replaced by galoshes and boondockers. Style gives way to good old common horse sense when cold weather hits.
A charm course for coeds is being offered this semester at Oklahoma University. They'll learn voice modulation, posture, manners, beauty hints and "how to select a husband."
The society desk of the UDK is really living up to the role. Perched bravely in a coke bottle on the desk are some wilted lilacs.
“Ah well.” comments the perspiring cop trying to beat the heat, it won't be long till he'll wish again he could heat the beat.
It looks is if automation is here to stay. Nothing will stop its progress. But automation is progress of a unique sort, promising Utopia on the one hand and jobless hordes on the other.
Automation: It's Here To Stay
The change is more in the nature of an evolution than a revolution. History cannot be changed, however. Many labor leaders can recall the loss of work caused a few years ago by sudden mechanization in certain industries.
Today union leaders are asking that industry provide for those workers who would be affected by increased automation.
Automation, say many leaders in industry, must be increased within the next 10 years or this country will face a decline in the present standard of living.
So far, however, nothing has been done by industry on a sufficiently large scale to mitigate the condition of the worker who will find himself out of a job with only obsolete skills.
It's simply this. Automation must be stepped up: displaced workers need retraining.
Otherwise, the worker is going to lose time and wages when the new production techniques move in.

Editor:
I have two questions:
1. ) How many copies of the UDR are printed daily?
2. ) Where are they?
In the past three weeks I have succeeded in finding five issues of the paper, of which three were during the past week when I happened to be on the Hill at the exact time the papers were published.
Naturally, not everyone of the 8 or 9,000 people on the Hill wants to read every issue of the UDK, and printing 8,000 copies daily would be foolish. However, when it becomes impossible to find a copy of the day's paper at 5 p.m., it's obvious that not enough copies are being printed to satisfy the demand. I find this particularly annoying when I am reminded that every student supports the paper as every student is required to pay for an Activities Ticket.
(Ed. note—The UDK prints 6,700 copies daily. This number has been arrived at largely by observing
I hope I shall be able to find the issue of the paper that answers my questions, but if not, thanks for your consideration anyway.
Just in case you can't find a paper at the boxes which you have tried and would like to try others, a listing of box locations follows: in front of the library, Marvin Hall, at the corner of Jayhawk Boulevard and 14th, at the Student Union, three in Strong Hall, at the Science Building, at Snow Hall, and in Flint Hall.
the number of copies left in various distribution boxes during the year. The aim is to make sure that every student who wants one has an opportunity to have a Daily Kansas for his very own, without having too many copies of our very own left over. Certain of the distribution boxes on the Hill are used more than others. The box in front of the library is an example of this overloading of boxes. We are now in the processes of ordering new boxes with a greater capacity for these points, but as yet have received no word on our order.
Incidentally, we'll try to push those new boxes out as soon as we get them.)

Here's A Terrific Parking Solution!
Since their is plenty of room in the basement corridor of Strong Hall, convert the long room into a one-lane parking area. We can also put students to work handling the parking, therefore killing two birds with one stone.
Next, and this is the colossal idea, move out the campus police, the director of athletics, the physical education department and the swimming pool, then convert dear old Robinson Gym into a modern two or three-story parking lot.
There Robinson would stand—right in the middle of the campus—a noble solution to all our parking problems. The whole solution was really simple enough when you look at it.
Hold everything! Stop where you are! The solution to our parking headache has been found. The solution was so obvious, we almost got bowled over when we thought of it. Here's the answer!
