Kansan Comment
Tears Fall For Tradition
Sadly the University lament the passing of one of its finest traditions, Hobo Day. For seventeen years students have been enjoying this yearly festival of rags, but now the youth of Mount Oread must have done with the perpetuation of tradition.
No longer will we experience a nexpression of the idealism that is inherent in all youth. Keen athletics and clean sportsmanship, (so long an integral part of the halcyon days of Hobo town) must look elsewhere for wh-chearted support.
Student loyalty to the University will stagger under a death blow. The good of this institution to posterity may be blotted out forever. For loyalty is based on tradition, and loyalty assures the preservation of the school.
It is with streaming tears, therefore, that the student body sees in the abolishing of Hobo Day the first step toward a desecration of the sanctity of tradition. Boo Hoo.

Steel Should Go West
A Pacific coast steel industry is needed.
That was the thesis of President Roosevelt's short talk to an industrial group in Washington, D.C. recently.
The biggest reason urging a need of West Coast large scale steel production is the fact that, at present, demand for steel on the Pacific coast is far outreaching production. The United States Steel Corporation in the west now has three small plants which are producing around 441,500 tons monthly. Bethlehem Steel Corporation has one western plant which is capable of 380,000 tons monthly. Pacific coast demands call for over twice this present output.
The fact that the west coast is the number one aircraft producing area in the country assures a huge amount of steel consumption there. The Lockheed Aircraft corporation, one of the wealthiest if not the wealthiest airplane factories in the world, is located on the west coast. This company, however, is only one of several. Another important factor is that the expansion of west coast shipyards depends on steel coming through the Panama canal from South and Central America. If war ever involves Central America and the canal should thereby be threatened or damaged, Pacific coast shipbuilding and repair would come to a virtual standstill.
Yet the large steel corporations who now can ask any price for their products on the west coast do not wish to go into large scale production there. If they do wish to expand, they are not proceeding in that direction. In the public interest, expansion would mean setting up a safety precaution in case of war and the part-alleviation of three million unemployed in that section if the war possibility is not considered.
The big time industrialists have three puny objections to an expansion on the west coast. They claim that they would be duplicating existing facilities, that there are no coal or iron deposits near enough to make the industry logical, and that the cost of hauling raw materials would be too high.
These objections are best answered by a report of United States Army engineers. After a five year survey of the question the engineers reported it as feasible with definite suggestions for achieving it. The army proposes to replace coal with water power from the Bonneville dam. Instead of coal, electric furnaces could be used to process the ore into steel.
Three ways to secure the necessary ore are offered. One is to use Chilean ore, another to absorb low grade ore from the mountain states at low rail costs, and the third is to ship ore from the vast supply of the Philippine islands which now supply Japan with a million tons annually.
The proposed expansion of the steel industry has both a sectional and national interest. Army engineers have answered the objections of the steel industry. The president has urged it. It is the steel industry's turn to show cause as to why it does not follow the plan laid out.

Theater Manager States Case
To: Wilsen, M. M. Congress
To whom it may be used in an essay to your editorial of Sunday, November twenty-ninth, regarding the theater situation in Lawrences, it is only fair that the student body have a true and complete picture of the present theater set-up.
The Varsity is our theater and we closed it to give you the highest standard of entertainment at the low-
The motion picture industry has lost approximately thirty-five percent of its foreign revenue due to the European situation and economic conditions in general.
We have assumed our share of the industry's losses
In addition to this increased cost of doing business, our payrolls, taxes, maintenance and general operating expenses are also significantly reduced.
Lawrence has never been able to support four theatre increased admission prices in the theater when it was run.
With the closing of the Varsity, we are able to push the fence and begin our new picture. The Patee with first and second run pictures. The biggest pictures from the Gramada and Dickinson will be brought to the Patee, together with a major first-run attraction.
The Dickinson will continue under the present policy that the agency's managers will not develop our management, all types of produce played the role.
With the closing of the Varsity, we are able to reduce our Granada prices from 30 cents to 23 cents, with no change in the quality of the merchandise. We also the Granada so popular. There has not and will not be a single change in the quality of products. It is very clear that Granada is the week's best. We are able to double up and give you two of our reunite week and pictureus in the hopes that you will appreciate the experience.
Never in the history of Lawrence theater operation have admission prices been so low as they are today. This is why we are the third largest these major companies: Metro Goldwyn Mayer, 20th Century Fox, and New National; MRI Radiology, Paramedics and University.
I have had many unusual experiences during the years I have been in the show business, but this is the first time in my life I have ever been penalized for offending and better entertainment at lower admission prices.
Sincerely yours,
STAN SCHWAHN,
Your Lawrence Theaters.
Suggests Tooting Own Horn
Edition Della Kruseo
It seems that University of Kansas students have never heard of the Biblical adage, "Who toothest his own horn, the same shall not be toothed." At least they forget to forget it when they go to games here.
It is a peculiar thing that the Jayhawker rooter boom forth quite instantly when they go to games away from home, but being in a classroom as much as we do it does to help her to provide a professional service. Does it do to have cheer leaders if no one cheers? One sitting in the upper tier of seats in the student section at a basketball game emits a good strong "Come on gang," we were with you. Maybe the students don't give a hang, after all, how the team comes out, but just go to the games because it's fun.
If the deadwood in the student body and those who gripe about things instead of doing something don't want to yell, they should stay at home next Saturday, and let a few loyal supporters give their best for the day.
Will the K.U. horn be tooted next Saturday?
doubt it.

Geology Initiates 'Pan Gold' At Haworth Hall Before Lunch
Six Hill geologists who did that yesterday in front of Haworth hall were not panning for gold but their food depended on the success of their operations.
Subscription rates, in advance, $3.00 per year, $1.75 per semester. Published at Lawrence, Kansas, daily during the school year except Monday and Saturday. Entered as second class office at Lawrence, office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
Lots of gold miners earn their food until supervisor Raymond Whitla, by swishing a lot of sand around in gr., chapter president, pronounced a nan of water. The shot completely free of sand.
The six were being initiated into Sigma Gamma Epsilon, professional geology fraternity, and had to separate a handful of lead shot from a pan of sand before they could go to lunch. They gathered on the curt at 12:30 yesterday afternoon and alumbed water, sand, and shot around
Don Faurot Learned His Tricks From Present Kansas Mentor
By Mary Frances McAunow, c12 Gwinny hen is a Kansas. Nobody is more aware of the fact then neighboring Missourians. "The only cloud on the Missouri sky is the rain." As he explained in an opinion of the Kansas City Star.
In 1923 the Henry family moved to Columbia, Mo., where Henry coached the Tigers until 1932. While there he gave the Missourians an enviable record which they will not forget. For the first time in 23 years Missouri boat Nebraska; which they did three successive times. During his nine years at Columbia, Henry conquered three championships. For three years Missouri was second in the Bie Six conference.
A Texan by birth, he was graduated from Howard-Fayne College in Brownwood, Texas, where he set records in the 100-yard and 290-yard dashes, shotput, and discus. Gwinn Henry's first coaching job was at the College of Emporia, Emory University, from 1918 to 1933. The school played 40 games and lost only three of them during the five years.
In 1934 he become coach at the University of New Mexico. His team won the Border championship that year. As a director of athletics, Mr Henry has also proved his ability. When he went to New Mexico the athletic department was in the red, but before he left, it was paying its way with a new stadium completed.
There men, with Robert Dreyer,
instructor in geology, and John Deal,
c41, will be formally initiated into
the fraternity Thursday night.
While reminiscing Henry recalls the Missouri team on which Don Fauroit, present University of Missouri coach, played half-back. "Don was a good player," says Henry. "He was just like him when he started to play his first football, but he liked the game and was a better player for it."
The veteran coach says that to play good football the players must like the game. When asked about the much publicized "Henry system", he says that it's just a habit of the sports writers with its foundation in the fact that although there are about five standard forms-
tions, a "Henry coached team" does not use them.
Missouri, the Jayhawk coach says, hasn' good team," but I'm glad to be on the same side with the Rock Chalk vell."
"I don't have any superstitions,
but my boys may have," is his answer to the boys "good luck" query.
Staring in Kansas—enthusiastic for Kansas—yes, I am a Kansan, Gwinn Henry will tell you.
