THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Lewis Threatens Final Victory
Enemies of democracy should constitute a clear-cut group. They should, perhaps, all wear fascist badges and "sieg heil" at three-minute intervals. It would make every thing much simpler.
Unfortunately, not all enemies of democracy live in the aggressor nations. They do not all wear fascist badges and "sieg heil" every few moments. In fact, just to make everything more confusing, they sometimes call themselves loyal citizens and insist they are devoted to bettering the interests of the common man.
John L. Lewis Is Peevish Caesar
Take the case of John L. Lewis.
This beetle-browed genius, apparently unconcerned with the number of soldiers he is killing with his general coal-mining strike, is calmly negotiating with the government he tried to stab in a vital artery. Yet Mr. Lewis is telling the miners he's trying to help them.
If times were not so desperate, the situation would probably create vast amusement for the rest of the world. The thought of one peevish labor Caesar standing between his nation and the coal production which could mean defeat or victory, would probably be rib-tickling in its utter absurdity.
Nazis Use Coal Strike
But it isn't funny now. Men and freedom slaughtered on one man's altar of opportunism, avarice, and lust for power, is not amusing. Miners in Russia and England coming home after long hours of work for much less pay than the American miners are receiving, must feel contempt for their fellow-workers in this country. Their nations are fighting for their very existence, and miners worry about a raise.
The Nazi propaganda machine is probably using the strike as an illustration of the social and industrial disintegration taking place in the United States. And how can the

little countries of Europe, looking toward this country for help and leadership, be favorably impressed by democracy when it takes such ridiculous forms?
Handy Men: Gordon Stucker, Nelson May, Vie and Mark Costello, and Bunch Davis stomped into the Kappa house last Thursday evening and informed an amazed freshman on phones that they were the coke men and would now fix the house's broken machine. After considerable thought, the freshman led the five to the machine. But the boys' zest was considerably diminished when they found themselves in the basement with their tools and cokes. After failing to get anywhere with repairs, the Phi Gam mechanics admitted they didn't know a thing about coke machines. They had
Lewis Needs Trouncing
The petulant, precocious Mr. Lewis will continue getting what he wants until the government can discover the best child psychology to use on him. If being locked in a dark closet is too unhealthy for his mental attitude, there is always the reversion to the old-fashioned, but sometimes practical, method of spanking.
Unfortunately, Mr. Lewis is not a fool. He is also a powerful man, much too powerful for the country's good. Because at a word from him 530,000 miners drop their tools to bring the great coal-mining industry at a standstill, the government, realizing the overwelling need for topnotch coal production, must give in to his every whim. No matter what he does, Mr. Lewis seems to get his own way. The government's seizure of the mines was part of his plan to bring about negotiations for wage increases.

Love is blind: Now that Tom Messplay is able to talk about it without unintelligible gnashing of teeth, the facts are clear. On his way back from a pinning celebration in the City, Bob Minich, Sigma Nu, discovered he had a flat. Marge Pollack and Sam Cook (the pinned) looked; Jackie Hanson, Bob's date, looked—even Bob looked, but there was no jack. So the four hitchhiked back to Lawrence.
volunteered their services only because word went around that the Kappa coke machine was on second.
At 2:30 after depositing Jackie, Minich woke up brothers Deane Banker and Tom Messplay and the four drove back 10 miles east of Eudora with a jack to change the tire. Which would have been all right ("anything for a brother"—Messplay), BUT-upon poking around the Minich machine (it was now 3:30) the first thing Tom ran across was another jack.
A Charles Atlas Fan: Friends and relatives were astounded to learn in a recent column that medic Chuck Hunter fainted dead away when a needle to draw blood penetrated his arm. Hunter is a rabid physical culturer and is in constant training against such shock. He sits in hard chairs because they are better for him, eats only vitamin candy bars, opens windows in zero weather, and brushes his hair 100 strokes nightly

The Eighth Wonder: Boyden Crouch with four dates (two blonde
and two brunette) at the Southern Pit. And we weren't just seeing that way.
Mistake of the Month: Bob Enyart can't understand himself. He drove the Navy Day queens in the parade and became quite attached to all three of their royal highnesses. Then afterwards he took the girls to the Union as instructed—and left them. Bob didn't know at the time that the party had ended and the girls had to shift for themselves to get home. But he knows now—and is spending sleepless nights planning a blowout (for four) to make up for the slight.

Cap Custom---editor-in-chief ... JOY MILLER
(continued from page one) Senate and nearly changed the whole student government.
In recent years the K-club, athletic club, has been in charge of the freshman cap tradition. Would K. U. freshmen care to be capped this year?
In 1935 upperclassmen suspended the tradition, and the freshmen protested. They took the situation into their own hands and proclaimed that all freshmen would wear the caps voluntarily to preserve a K.U. custom.
