'Dancing' Goes To Court
Over a desk littered with legal and semi-legal papers and memoranda, the Douglas county commissioners last February 20 quietly passed a resolution to prohibit dancing in places which sell beer. Young people of the University and the county were deprived overnight, as it were, of a favorite form of casual recreation. Fires of indignation flamed, and expressions of extreme displeasure were fired at the county lawmakers: complaints on the streets, petitions in the mail, formal missions of protest to the little room off the north corridor, first floor, courthouse.
Nothing happened. Then the flames of wrath died away to little more than lantern's glow. The dance-ban resolution was amended to allow dancing through certain hours, providing no beer was sold during that time. It seemed that the synthesis had been reached, and a feeling of vaguely discontented resignation prevailed.
One recourse remained. in an early fracs over the resolution, Commissioner Lou Griffith had said, in effect, "If you don't like this resolution, you can take it to the courts." Now Roy Borgen, owner-manager of the Dine-a-Mite inn on West 23rd street, has done just that. His petition, on which Judge Hugh Means will hold a hearing in district court May 9, asks for an injunction preventing the county commissioners, the county attorney, and the sheriff from enforcing the resolution in question.
John Brand, attorney for Mr. Borgen, says that there have been no Kansas Supreme Court decisions bearing on this subject, and to his knowledge, the issue has never before been presented to the courts of Kansas. That leave the decision entirely to the interpretation of the law by Judge Means, who has long enjoyed a reputation of strict fairness, honesty, and high legal acumen.
That the Feb. 20 regulation deprives Mr. Borgen's customers of a normal and generally accepted form of recreation cannot be denied, and the court again finds itself functioning in a manner so well foreseen by the framers of our constitution. When the elected legislative and executive officers of a democratic unit fail to perform in conformance to an individual's conception of his constitutional rights, that individual may petition the courts for specific interpretation.
Kansas law vests power in the county commissioners to regulate hours of closing, standards of conduct in retailing beer, and matters relative to the moral, sanitary, and health conditions of such places of business. Whether or not the divorce of dancing from beer retailing is within their jurisdiction or was intended or implied by the writers of the Kansas law will be decided May 9.
If this resolution is found to be within the law, the people of the community will have still another voice in the matter: the ballot —J.C.

Let some praise the honored victor. Chant his name unto the skies,
But let me sing of the forgotten one Who falls down on the field and dies.
Some sing of the carefree hero.
In kings some put their trust;
But I shall sing of the defeated man
Whose banners trail in the dust.
For there is a greater triumph than victory In the will to try again.
And those who fall short, but still fight on Are the nobler, strong men.

'It's A Good Time To Consider Teaching School As A Career'
By H. E. CHANDLER
(Director, Teachers' Appointment Bureau)
Seniors in the field of education have no worries this year as far as jobs are concerned. Already nearly 1,000 vacancies have been listed with the teachers appointment bureau, and it is likely that by September first at least 1,500 more will be reported. Kansas faces this year the most serious teacher shortage in the history of its schools, due primarily to four causes:
ONE. Military service, Red Cross, U.S.O., and various government activities took large numbers of teachers out of educational work. Probably half of these may not return to teaching.
FOUR. Married women who have been teaching during the emergency are returning to their homes, and single teachers engaged in returning servicemen are resigning to be married. The number of teachers thus lost to the schools will greatly exceed the number gained through return of service men to teaching.
THREE. Kansas colleges training teachers will graduate this year only about one-fourth as many prospective teachers as in prewar years.
TWO. War industry with high wages attracted many others. Practically none of these are returning to the classroom.
Any person of good health and character who can meet certification requirements of the Kansas state board of education can get a position any time. It will be at least five years and perhaps longer before a reasonably adequate supply of teachers is available.
With initial salaries for women ranging from $1800 to $2100 and for men from $2300 to $2600, with additional pay for those in specialized subjects and in coaching, teaching salaries are now comparable to those rein the new colorings and patterns—

ceived in other fields. All present indications are that these better salaries will continue. The increased emphasis on schooling in the postwar period has set up a demand for good teachers definitely interested in education as a career.

The dinner will be held at the Eldridge hotel, and journalism alumni will be invited.
