TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1945 THE KANSAN COMMENTS New Wage Plan To Be Important In Post-War Era In his 1944 Labor Day message, Philip Murray, president of the C.I.O., listed among the major objectives of organized labor, a guaranteed annual wage. Under such a wage, he said, working persons would have some assurance of a livelihood throughout the year. Also, it would create a steadier demand for the goods and services of farmers, professional men, and business men, he added. . This movement to obtain guaranteed wages is essentially an organized effort to minimize or eliminate the risk factor in connection with man's earning a living through making and exchanging goods. There has been a great deal of comment for and against the proposed plan. A recent survey, however, revealed that three times as many workmen believe that guaranteed annual wages are important as those who believe that a voice for labor in management is important. The survey also showed that steady employment is a vital consideration to 10 times as many workers as is high pay, and to 25 times as many workers as are short hours. This idea of job assurance, which is being discussed more and more frequently along with post-war plans, is not a new one. Since 1931, many large companies have been devising and trying various plans. In 1938, in the Fair Labor Standards acts, employment stabilization was definitely encouraged by a provision granting partial exemption from overtime payment to companies signing an agreement guaranteeing 2060 hours of work a year. The future and importance of a guaranteed annual wage was discussed by Richard R. Deupree, head of a large manufacturing company, at a meeting in New York. He said, "I feel that stabilized employment is one of the great needs of American industry. I think the most necessary thing that any employer owes his employees is the assurance of steady work." Such a plan as guaranteed annual wages, he said, will become increasingly important in the post-war world. A farmer's ball is being sponsored by the Girl Reserves at the Emporia High school this week.

Rock Chalk Talk By PAT PENNEY The trailways troop: Friday afternoon some 15 students boarded the bus for Manhattan, and for 3 solid hours this crew kept up a singing session, rendering everything from "God Bless America" (requested by a passenger on the bus) to "Flamin' Mamie" (requested). And a new response was arranged for the inevitable question. "Are we gonna beat K-State?" Now the proper answer is, "Match!" And then there was the basketbrawl game: We were wandering around the "Crackerbox" court before the game, seeing if there were any stray Jayhawkers around, when one of the Manhattan Purple Peppers shouted, "Are there any more of you characters over here?" Fifteen rooters put up a hard fight against 3000 of the Aggie aggregation, but with the incessant ingring of cow bells and chants of "Rock Chalk rough. Finally when the K-Staters had been drowning out all our yelling efforts for a full quarter, it was just too much, so we put in an appearance at the other side for a conference with the head cheerleader. The conversation ran something like this: "We think you should give us a fighting chance by letting us finish our yells before you start." And did this comeback, kids. The cheerleader replied, "Oh, have you been yelling?" Half-time laughtime: At the half, alumni of the college were being introduced, and the last celebrity to take a bow was Lt. Someone-or-other, whom the announcer said, "played on the 1937 basketball team the last team that beat KU." The crowd cheered, and in the silence that followed the applause, Earl Barney shouted, "That's right—the very last one!" The caissons came rolling: A row of Ft. Riley lieutenants were the mainstay of the K.U. cheering see- tion (?), yelling their loudest on the less complicated of the yells. After the game, they formed an armed guard to the dressing room for the referees. Someone evidently thought referee John Lance was Frankie Sinatra, for when he got to the showers, he found he was minus most of his striped shirt. Phog Allen was surrounded by every K. U. coed present, who deluged him with hugs and kisses. Later, someone rushed up to Schaake and asked, "Who hit Phog Allen?" Schaake replied, "Why, no one that I know of, why?" The frantic spectator answered, "Well, his face is all bloody." After-wrath: The story of the objections raised after the game are well-known by now, but did you know that when the final whistle blew:— The kissing continued when the team emerged from the dressing room and were put through a congratulatory line by the girls. Reynolds beamed happily, and said, "Can I go down and come back up again?" The final blow came a few minutes later, when the coaches and team found that all the air had been let out of the tires of the K.U. cars. We travel on to the Avalon: The team went over to the Avalon ballroom for a short celebration before returning to friendly territory. At the dance, team members found the admission price a little high for the short time that they could stay, so Corder and Reynolds went in as a couple. Later Gordon cut one of the girls, and said, "My date's very nice but he's not a very good dancer. He keeps trying to lead!" Going our way? Yep, it was one big riot, from start to finish, but a good time was had by all. And BIG SIX, HERE WERE COME! Slogan of the Minnesota Daily's "Sally and Bud" column is "Many are cold, but few are frozen." Gee! You didn't tell me you were a Kiltie! I ain't — My trousers are at the cleaners. This just doesn't happen in the army. With us the army comes first because soldiers need their clothes returned on time. You too, will get your clothing back when promised — expertly cleaned and ready for spic and span wear.
