Just a Phase?
The announcement that 85 per cent of industry has already been converted from war to peacetime production probably comes as a surprise to the reading public which has been deluged with strike news, and to the consuming public which finds it impossible to supply its wants and needs.
The fact that strikes affect large mass production enterprises has centered attention on those disputes and obscured the other fact that unemployment has been surprisingly small, considering the number of returning veterans and displaced war workers.
The shortage of goods is explained on several grounds — the natural inclination of manufacturers to withhold goods from sale until the passing of the first of the year to avoid the excess profits tax, the necessity of rebuilding a nation-wide distribution system, and the urge to build up a reserve of goods that will make possible their steady flow into the markets.
A survey of the editors of business magazines shows an unusual unanimity of opinion that the current year will be prosperous, with production and employment steadily increasing.
These editors regard the strikes and threatening strikes as a passing feature of industrial readjustment, and offer the opinion that the economic interests of both workers and employers will force settlements before long.
Week for Religion
The 52 weeks of the year have, in these modern times, taken on a calendar pattern which would amaze the early citizens of our country. Instead of saying, "the week of February 25," we may say, "national dog bissuit week or American fish bait week." With all our specially dedicated weeks, we come next week to one which is for something more than publicity or recognition purposes — Religious Emphasis Week.
Since you've entered the University, you've changed your mind about a number of things. Maybe it has been the result of more information on a particular issue, maybe those with whom you associate have made you see things differently, or perhaps you've decided on your own that something you thought a lot about in your high school days is not very important on the Hill.
Very often religion is the victim in this "readjustment" to be in step with friends and current trends. Remember how you didn't miss Sunday school once in three years, and how you laughingly tell about it now? Remember how you used to give church meetings and services top billing, and how they gradually slipped to the bottom of the list after you found "more important" things to do at K. U?.
Maybe a little pop-talk on religion wouldn't be so far off. Everyone is invited to attend the religious week activities, beginning Tuesday. If you're one who has dropped religion temporarily, the religious programs planned by student leaders may convince you that there's still something in religion.
Don't take life so seriously--you'll never get out of it alive, anyway.
Rock Chalk Talk
By KEITH WILSON
Leg Art. Like many other students, unthinkingly and unarmed, we ventured to the basketball "game the other evening. We are never ones to complain about places being crowded, but we became a little annoyed when the man sitting in front of us kept scratching our leg by mistake all evening. Brother, was it packed!
Sardine Serenade. We didn't mind the band being seated right in the middle of the bleachers, but we got a rather blurry view of the game after peering between two bars of "Onward Spirit of Kansas" all night.
It was so crowded in the bleachers that when the tuba player would blast out a note, the band members in front of him would have to stand up to let it pass by.
Now You Tell One. Things really weren't so bad except one time near the end of the game. A gentleman in the row back of us became carried away by the excitement of the competition and forgot where he was. In a rash moment he expanded his chest to take a deep breath. As a result, three heads were fractured, six faces were slapped, and 12 people fell off the bench.
The Truth Hurts. The lives of many
students will never again be the same. In Snow hall several days ago, Dr. L. C. Woodruff began one of his daily biology lectures by casually remarking, "Most of you know the old story about the birds and the bees. Well, it isn't like that at all." For a moment a bleak silence really reigned as the students heard this startling news; then Dr. Woodruff was drawn out by the choked up sobs of his disillusioned audience. We noticed one girl over in a corner beating her head against the wall and crying out, "I'll never smile again." Unable to stand the sight we fed through the door. We spied one small boy sitting at his desk chuckling madly to himself. "What's wrong sonny?" we asked. Laughing gleefully, he replied, "Birds and Bees spelled backwards is Seeb and Dibir!"
Naws Gnos. We could shoot the guy who started the idea of spelling everything backwards. We can't get out of the habit now. All during vacation we dutifully spelled every sign we saw, beginning with the last letter and proceeding to the first—that is until we passed, "Percival Pifflen-gigg's Pastry Pantry," doing 80 miles an hour. We've had brain fever ever since.
