Kansan Comment
Hollywood And War
War dispatches may lack the verve and drama of an Orson Welles radio play, and horror-starved neuroties may crave more emotion in their news communiques; but Hollywood will not let such an emotion rousing opportunity slip by the box-office. While the war in Europe has settled down to a quiet winter of verbosity, deeds of hair-raising bravery are occurring on the California coast.
Every movie company is producing war films and reviving war successes of 1918. Suh a trend has both a mercenary and hyper-patriotic tinge at this crucial point in international affairs. Curiosity and memory draw the young and old to see such invaluable propaganda as "All Quiet on the Western Front," "The Road Back," "What Price Glory," "The Big Parade" and "Things to Come."
The public has expressed its desire for neutrality, but is such a public impervious to a consistent diet of war-hash favoring the Allies? The movie-audience is made up of average and below average intellects, and exposure to a season of flag-waving, bugle-tooting doughboys and their adventures, will not help sustain the calm unemotional feeling that now pervades the country.
Hollywood's desporate campaign last year to find out what was causing its decreasing income was a fruitless effort in the face of World War II. Now with British and French movie competition eliminated and a booming local market, demand is guaranteed to the dramamongers and self-criticism is drowned in a wave of prosperity.

Wage and Hour Anniversary
Tuesday was the first birthday of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, better known as the Wage and Hour Act.
With its first anniversary the minimum wage becomes 30 cents an hour and the maximum work week is shortened to 42 hours. Following the provisions of the Act, on October 24, 1940, the work week will automatically be reduced to 40 hours and the minimum wage to 40 cents.
While various amendments and disputations regarding the Act have arisen in Congress and are pending now in court, the major objectives of the bill are being realized. Officials assert the act has so operated that production has been maintained in most responsible industries and labor turnover has been less.
By defining exemptions carefully and attempting to make the bill flexible, care was taken in preparation of the Act to avoid the pitfalls of the National Industrial Recovery Act. These precautions have proved wise, as the lack of serious stride and public discussion regarding the Act testifies, and It starts its second year following the normal lines of a new statute.
The number of employees affected by the first year of the Act was not proportionately large in comparison with the total number who come under its provisions. Naturally it will affect many more this year and reach its highest number in 1940. Success of the Act is not reduced by this consideration, however, as the provision for one and one half times the regular rate of pay for overtime, does affect many more employees than the minimum wage.
The course of the Fair Labor Standards Act ran smoothly in contrast to the stormy attacks on the Wagner labor act, which has been assailed both by employers and the two big labor organizations.
The United States has been slow in comparison with other democratic countries in its protection and regulation of labor nationally, a fact partly attributable to constitutional barriers. In overcoming this lag, the first anniversary of the Fair Labor Standards Act marks a substantial step toward eventual solution of the labor tangle.
Half of U.S. Collegiates Flunk
Half of the undergraduates in the United States flunk out of college. Such an indictment seems to add weight to the wide-spread opinion that too many people go to college, but such an arbitrary rationalization solves nothing. The problem is to meet adequately the needs of the huge army of college students most of whom are lost in the shuffle of highly specialized courses.
Originally universities were the haunt of scholars, but democracy has widened the scope to include everyone with the price of tuition
Such a leveling has not been appreciated by many curriculum-arrangers who seek to maintain a standard above the ability of student body.
Most colleges turn a cold and stern face to those who flunk out of school, but a new trend has been introduced at the University of Minnesota's General College. Here the belief is held that though the unfortunates who flunk may never be competent doctors or lawyers, they should be made competent citizens.
The Dean of General College, havenn of flunkee, wanted to know what his charges needed to prepare themselves for life. He questionnaires 1600 Minnesota alumni about his University of Tomorrow. Shocked but undaunted, McLean commented:
"It is appalling to discover that there are few, if any observable differences, in other respects than earning power alone, between the graduates and non-graduates and between those who in college were known as "good" students and those who were known as "poor students." They are culturally much alike: they listen to the same radio programs, read the same magazines, go to the same movies, feel much the same about their jobs and families and almost uniformly find democratic participation in social and civic affairs dull as dishwater and comparatively unimportant."

Dramatic Difficulties Met And Conquered by Craftons
Well, is there anyone in the house who speaks this language?
No one at all?
Is there an Armenian in the house?
By Bill Fey c'40
Now, that is a shame. You see over at Fraser theatre they're looking for any and all Armenians who might be hiding out on the Campus. One of the main characters in the play "My Heart's in the Highland" speaks nothing but Armenian. Perhaps you raise an eyebrow at that, but the author, William Saroyan, is an Armcnilian and when he felt the urge to inject a foreign language into his script, he chose his native tongue. Written, it looks like shorthand in surrealism. Snoken, it is even worse.
At the end of San Benito avenue in Fresno, Calif., stands a tumbling house. It is there that Ben Alexou (a former menican complex) and his son Johnny live. A frequent visitor is a Scotchman by the name of Mac-
Prof. Allen Crafton, who is directing and acting in the show pondered over the script, calling for Armenian, for a long time. Then he and Mrs. Crafton, who plays the part of the Armenian grandmother, started on a search for the nearest Armenian. It wasn't an easy task. They finally located an old man, a former native of Armenia, in Kansas City, though, and explained their trouble. They gave him the money he needed to help him. Mr. crafton equivalent, while Mrs. Crafton took the sounds down in phonetics. Preset! The problem was solved.
ON THE OFF B-E-A-T
By Roderick Burton
Von Bribnentbrop says the war will be fought to a bitter finish. It was merely a coincidence, we are assured, that in the next paragraph he mentioned that the security of the Ger- Reich would be assured for all time.
And then there was the story about the American college student who was thrown out of Germany by the French, and the water to go easy on the hail.
Campus note: One student is initiating a new plan of not opening his textbooks, in order to receive more money for them when he sells them second-hand. He was still cheerful when we pointed out the plan might fail if he failed. "That's all right," he said, "when I won't have to buy any textbooks for the next semester."
This week's man of spirit award goes to Ernest Vincent Wright, whose 50,110-word novel without an "o," "Gadisby" is now being published. As we couldn't write a paragraph without using the letter, we can truly say that writing "Gadisby" was not an easy job.
Add to scrapbook of interesting phrases "The description—a spiteful evil who would make fun of anything"—hitted him to a tease.
Gregor (Prof. Robert Calderwood, who once played Shakepeare an now plays a bugle. MacGregor says that his heart is not in America a all but back home in the Scottish highlands. The neighbors all bring groceries to pay for the privilege of hearing the old Scotman play a sad melody called "My Heart's in the Highlands."
As the second half of a twin bill-of-fare, the Kansas Players will present the well-known Eugene O'Neill one-ater about the life and times of "The Emperor Jones." The play is in seven scenes but uses only two different sets. For the jungle scene a unit set is used and the various stage props most trees in this case, are merely moved about to give the appearance of a different locale. The other set is Jenne's palace with his brilliant red throne.
"The Emperor Jones" is the story of an American Negro convict who has established himself as the emperor of a West Indies island. He has yapped the natives to his own advantage and is planning his escape when the play goes into the jungle scenes. With weird lightning effects, beating jungle drums, and ghostly figures, stage manager Dor Dixon has achieved the effect of unreality as the dethroned "emperor" struggles through the dens forest.
For "My Heart's in the Highland" a revolving set has been constructed. On one side is the house where Alexander and his family live. Back to back with this set is Kosak's grocery store. The seven scenes are changes from one to the other of these sets. This is accomplished quickly by merely revolving the two sets, which are equipped with
