Come On Pa, Get Up
If Pa Rents has been reading the newspaper, he may have noticed that nearly 50 large cities have banned comic books because folks are beginning to think arson, bloodshed, murder, and crime are somewhat uncomical. Pa may have heard folks in many cities are getting up censorship committees.
Pa also may have noticed folks in a few cities permitting dealers to do their own censoring in this 40 million dollar a year business. Pa is waking to the fact that the dime Johnny gets for drying the supper dishes is spent for comic books.
But wishing to go right back to sleep, Pa is glad the civic-minded folks have decided to censor what Johnny reads. Pa finds it simpler to let other folks tell Johnny what not to read than to get up and show Johnny what to read.
Pa Rents could do much to teach Johnny that life is not just a library full of comic books. Instead of giving Johnny a dime to dry the supper dishes, maybe Pa could dry them himself and send the 400 million dimes he gives Johnny every year to the community fund and provide more wholesome recreation for Johnny. Or if Pa wanted to be real nice to Johnny, he could give Johnny 10 minutes of his time.

Rumors
Dear Editor:
It would be appreciated if the Daily Kansan would either confirm or deny the current rumor that the University administration is requesting all departments to re-arrange their schedules so that more classes will be held on Saturday.
Along with the confirmation, or denial, I would appreciate a reason (or reasons) for such action if the rumor is true.
Myron McNown Fine Arts junior Editor's Note: See yesterday's Daily Kansan.
SLEPT 20 YEARS
R. V. Winkle, Tarrytown, N.Y., care fully avoided NoDoz Awakeners and slept 20 years. You can do the same Only 25c at your druggiet's and harmless as coffee, but who cares about that?
Educate and Act
With all respect for your right to campaign editorially for improvements which seem most desirable to you, I should like to comment on your recent editorial on "Discrimination."
The statement regarding a "near riot" in a theater seems to need clarification. The only incident we can recall in the past five years
Dear Editor:
which received much attention was when a group of Negroes and whites sat together in the first balcony of one theater. Although the manager stopped the picture to speak to the crowd, there was no violence.
The problem was taken up by local groups interested in racial equality and representatives discussed the problem with the theater manager. The latter agreed to permit non-segregated seating in the last three rows (or more after these were filled) of one theater where Negroes had not been admitted previously because there was no balcony.
Lens Replacement
Your statement that this issue will take years and generations to iron out is probably quite true; but it sounds uncomfortably like the cliche "it will take education," which is usually accompanied by the folding of hands and the waiting for education to happen. A similarly easy thing is to avoid friendly relations with Negroes one
