'Vote The Christian Ticket'
"Vote the Christian ticket" are the words of a recent Daily Kansan ad that has had students guessing.
They advertise and tell the theme of James Gunn's play "Thy Kingdom "ome," to be produced in Fraser theater May 14 and 15.
ne play is about a second coming of Christ and what would happen
* he were to run for public*
to him if he were to run for public office now. Would he be elected or would the voters, in effect, crucify him again by repudiating him at the polls? That's the question the play will answer.
The production is a collection of firsts. It is the first full-length, student-written production in more than 20 years, and the first play at the University whose direction will constitute a master's thesis. It is also Gunn's first play.
"After every war there is a revival of the quest for something basic to believe in and something (fundamental to build one's life around). Gunn said explaining the subject.
"It is a search for reality, a search which must sooner or later stumble across religion."
'Dangerous Subject'
Gum calls it a dangerous subject because its plain spokenness may be misunderstood or it may be considered blasphemous by some and
"But it will be misunderstood only by those who consider religion as static," he added, "and you have to risk misunderstanding when you write about such a subject."
heterodox by others.
And he said with a smile, "You know the difference between orthodoxy and heterodoxy, don't you? Orthodoxy is your doxy, and heterodoxy is the other fellow's doxy."
100 Hours Work
"I must have spent over 100 hours sitting at the typewriter alone," he recalled, "And that doesn't count the weeks of research and time spent thinking it out. Only the last scene came easily, and it wrote itself in spite of me."
It was rewritten during final week, which happened to be the week before Gunn's marriage to his wife, Kate. He enrolled at a University, student at that time.
His friends joke that married life will bring on a sequel, "Thy Will Be Done," but he denies this.

Little Man On Campus
"Social work derives its motivation, objectives, and principles from our religious beliefs," Miss Esther Twente, associate professor of social work, told the Y. M.-Y. W. Religious seminar group Monday.
Social Work Based On One's Religion
"Our religious beliefs motivate us to do things, not for but with other people," she said. "Real social service does something with somebody else not for our own personality or personal personality of the other person." she said.
"We believe each human being is a unique personality, extremely important, deserving respect, and having the right to make his own social role. To work the fulfilling and freeing of the potential capacities of each individual's personality so that he will lead a more satisfying life."
Senate Approves Labor Measure
Social work has the same objectives as the religions we know best—Hebrew and Christian, she believes.

Washington.—(UP)—The senate, heedless of last-minute indications of a veto, approved Republicansponsored labor legislation today. The vote was 68 to 24.
The vote came shortly after the Republican majority, with the help of some Democrats, killed a mild bill sponsored by 11 democratic senators as a substitute for the more stringent Republican measure. The Democratic bill was rejected by a vote of 73 to 19.
Indications that the bill was facing a veto came in the closing debate from Senate democratic leader Alben W. Barkley, who asked that it be defeated. He said he could not vote for a bill to "penalize innocent men."
The senate bill, which must be compromised with a more drastic house-approved bill, would outlaw the closed shop, prohibit jurisdictional strike and secondary boycott, establish a new independent court to handle complaints about the government to enjoy strikes endangering public health and safety.
Chairman Robert A. Taft, Republican. Ohio, of the senate labor committee made his final plea for passage with a denial that the measure was a "punitive" one.

Union Rejects Bell's $4 Offer In St. Louis
St. Louis. — (UP) — Negotiations between Southwestern Bell Telephone company and the union like a stone wall today. Union representatives flatly rejected an offer of a $4 a week increase.
D. L. McCowen, president of the Southwestern telephone workers union, said he had not studied the offer in detail. But he said, "the wage proposal is not acceptable to the union, as it does not meet the cost of living increase granted to workers in other industries."
Under terms of the rejected wage proposal, all non-supervisory employees would have received the in-house effective the date of the contract.
After the offer was rejected negotiators went into conference on fringe issues which McCowen said are "important." But this meeting broke up early today with nothing accomplished.
McCowen said the union is sticking by its 15-cent-per-hour increase demand.
Persons hired after the signing of the contract would be paid according to basic wage scale. Base pay would have increased $4 in the top brackets.
Another negotiating session was tentatively set for this afternoon.
Freshman YMCA cabinet members will go to Topeka next week for the second in a series of conferences with high school Hi-Y groups, Ned Linegar, YMCA secretary, said today.
In these conferences which are designed to stimulate interest in the Hi-Y organization, student leaders analyze various school problems and determine Christian methods of handling them.
Written problem situations are circulated among the cabinet group, individual solutions decided upon, and then presented to the group in a panel discussion.
The program was successfully used Thursday in a discussion program with 80 members at Liberty Memorial high school, Mr. Linegar said. Similar conferences will continue for the next semester. Future meetings will be held in Kansas City, Shawnee Mission, Ottawa, and Manhattan.
Members of the Hi-Y counseling team are Robert Thayer and Arthur Johnson, engineering freshmen; Hardy Scheuerman, Orin Wright, Jr., John Eberhardt, Robert Cheksy, Robert Davis, Don McIlrath, and Donald Wells, College freshmen.

Kansas Wins Rate Victory
Washington. (UP) The South and West have won their first victory in a long battle for freight rates on a par with the rest of the nation. They hope this victory will speed their industrial and economic development. This includes Kansas.
The triumph came when the supreme court approved a freight rate equalization order issued by the interstate commerce commission in 1945. The order raised rates in northeastern states 10 per cent and dropped them 10 per cent in the South and West as far as the Rocky mountains.
