THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Subsidies Banned Inflation Inevitable
The house by an overwhelming vote Tuesday, passed the bill to ban subsidies, and the senate is expected to concur. By that one act the American people were consigned to years of inflation, perhaps starvation.
In order to slap at the President and his administration or to get some of the money which seems just so much "surplus," Congressmen put their sign of approval on a bill which might mean the loss of the war on the home front, the serious handicapping of our youth by malnutrition, and universal starvation, since the United States is embarking on a plan for helping the world feed itself.
Families Cannot Cope With Prices
Families Cannot Cope With Prices
Just what difference does it make if there are no subsidies? First, prices will take a gigantic leap. Economists predict a 10 per cent rise immediately after subsidies are killed, and a doubling of prices within the year.
Second, if prices rise, the stability of the dollar disappears, the value of savings becomes negligible, living costs soar, the cost of the war increases. The average family cannot begin to cope with the rising prices. Subsidies Stop Price Rises
The subsidy program would have stopped the rise of prices after the initial concession to the farmer, preventing increases in marketing, retailing, and labor; thus, benefiting the consumer as well as the producer.
The cost of government subsidies is enormous, but not nearly so large as the cost to the nation after the 10 per cent price rise takes place immediately following the ban of subsidies. It is better to pay slightly higher taxes and let the government roll back and maintain prices of essential commodities, than to pay the inflated prices outright on the market. The saving to the individual and the family is tremendous.
Prices Will Double In Year
To put the problem down in dollars and cents, consumers may be paying $1.04 a pound for butter, 94 cents a pound for round steak, or 30 cents a quart for milk from now as the result of the subsidy ban. Prices are expected to double in less than a year without the subsidy.
The house has made its decision, and if the disastrous effects of the ban were visited only on its members of that august body, no one should mind. However, when such a decision involves the very existence of the working man (considered so outrageously overpaid by the house), politics and petty jealousies should be forgotten.

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
How to get sued: Frank O'Connell got on the good side of his many women by asking them all to the Battenfeld Christmas formal. The strategy worked well (since there isn't going to be a Battenfield formal, anyway, on account of the war)—until a Kansas City candidate wrote she had just spent her life's savings on a special formal for the occasion. Frank, with a "be-prepared" attitude, now welcomes all suggestions about wriggling out of breach of promise suits.*

Even so, they were good: Unidentified serenaders entertained girls Wednesday night with long performances which usually included the theme song of some rival sorority and many timely observations. Among the more timely of these was voiced by the leader, who—upon the pending departure of the vocalists—announced "We also sing."

Added attractions: There are few men on the Hill who wouldn't give a great deal to be entertained as the Pi Phi freshmen were entertained recently by their actives. The older girls threw a circus party and

productions, will appear as Louisa, a half-pathetic, half-comic elderly woman. Louisa's sister will be played by Roberta Sue McCluggage, who has also appeared in dramatic activities.
The one man's part in the play will be taken by Ted Lehman, known to service men and civilian students for his participation in various performances. Lehman will portray Albert Feather, a cad and petty criminal. Faya Gaba, who acted in the Resident theater in Kansas City, last year, will play the role of Leonora Fiske, a broken-down chorus girl who is strangled to death in the play.
The murderess in the play, Ellen Creed, is portrayed by Shirley Wagner, College freshman. Miss Wagner has won a number of acting awards during a high school career at Bonner Springs.
Shirley Rauch, College senior, will play the part of Lucy Gilham, a flighty, weak-willed maid. The role of Sister Theresa, a middle-aged nun, will be taken by Lois Wilson, a member of the cast of last year's production "Distinguished Service."
Costumes for the play have been obtained from Martin Giesen, St. Paul, Minn., one of the top-ranking costumers in the country, Professor
came in everything from clown suits on down to hula skirts. Among the special features was a tatooed lady, Nancy Nevin. Nancy's makeup met with the song's every specification, a "fleet of ships around her hips," the "Congo river over her liver," etc. (All, of course, in conjunction with a perfectly respectable bathing suit.
The servant problem: A male voice answered at the Chi O house when a faculty member called asking for President Beverly Bohan. "Sorry, she's on out a date," the voice said.
--the "COLLEGE JEWELER"
"Yes, ma'm," said the voice, a southern drawl suddenly distinguishable. "Dis am de houseman— but I so' couldn't tell you when dat Miss Beverly will be back—Dese gals, dey go out, and sometimes dey don't seem to niver git back—not till early in de mormin' and den when dev do come in—oh,oh."
"Oh! Well, is this the house man?' the faculty member asked. "Couldn't you tell me when she'll be in?"
Having been young once herself, the faculty member says she is giving the Chi O's the benefit of the doubt and supposing the houseman was a playful V-12.

Basketball Season Gets Under Way Since Football Ends
With the football season a matter of record, sports attention today turned to basketball which will open its season next Wednesday with the Herington AAB's as the opposition.
Service teams will provide the greater part of the opposition this year because of the decision to reduce travel to distant points.
In addition to the members of the squad who were given tryouts in the pre-season game against the Army, Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen now has the services of those who were on the football squad. George Dick and Harold "Sparky" McSpadden are two of last year's letter men who are now available and Charles Moffett, of Peabody, and Don Barrington of Kansas City, are talented prospects.
The schedule for the season is as follows:
