PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LAWRENCE, KANSAS --- FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1939 Kansan Comment The Politicians Wait--And Hope At the meeting of the Men's Student Council next Monday there will probably be little or no discussion of election reform. The new Council will avoid mention of the bill introduced in the last meeting, for the technical reason that the bill was introduced in the old Council, and the membership has changed. Council members will also point out that there is no use introducing another bill, for it takes at least two Council meetings to pass a bill, and this will be the last meeting this semester. Politicians will doubtless be glad over this series of circumstances. They are probably figuring that, if the Council for various reasons can stall action long enough, perhaps the students will forget about election reform. It is the same tactics—a little more subtle—perhaps as the Pendergast legislatures are using to stop Governor Stark's police bill from passage in the Missouri legislature. No valid objection has been raised against the basic reforms—that campaign expenses of parties, candidates, and other organizations or individuals engaged in Campus politics be filed with the Secretary of the Men's Student Council, that the amount of money a party or candidate spends should be limited, that anonymous hacks shall be prohibited. The election is a matter of public concern and information; the campaigns should be made so. A man running for public office should have the white light of publicity upon his campaign actions even as after election it is upon his actions in public office. The politicians wii wait—and hope. They probably will be surprised, for next fall students still again demand election reforms. One thing is certain: politicians will refuse to pass election reforms until the student body demands that they do so. For politicians, strange as it may seem for publicity hounds such as they are, seem to want to keep some of their actions undercover. You Too Might Get a Job Two commonly held assumptions regarding the problem of job hunting have been blasted if the recent survey made by the United States Office of Education can be taken at face value. The report seems to show that (1) there is not a dearth of positions for college graduates, and (2) the college graduate is not necessarily going to have to have "pull" to get a job. Job-catching should not be a next-to-impossible problem for the graduates to solve, for 95 per cent of the students in the survey of some 46,000 alumni (1928-35) of 31 colleges and universities were either temporarily or permanently employed. Neither need the occupancy of the bread line frighten the graduating class—only two per cent of the men and one per cent of the women had ever been on relief; furthermore sixty per cent have had some kind of work the entire period since graduation. It's not knowing a friend who knows a friend who knows someone who has an opening that gets the most jobs. The largest single group used the hunting method to get their first job. Only ten per cent obtained positions through family influence. Fraternity contacts netted two per cent with jobs. Students working their way through college will be encouraged to learn that experience gained in the self-support while in school resulted in one-fourth getting positions. School placement bursaeaided about one-fifth of the ninety-five per cent. A tenth of the men started their own business or professional practice. Few graduates find the type of work they prefer immediately after graduation, according to the survey. One man in four and one woman in three found their first position to be the job they wanted. A third of the men and a fifth of the women took unsatisfactory work in place of nothing. Graduates should not expect a large beginning salary. The average salary for men and women for the first year was $1,314 and $1,092 respectively, and, after eight years $2,383 and $1,606 annually respectively. Alumni of big colleges, incidently, are usually higher paid than those of smaller colleges. This survey seems to show that the outlook after graduation is not as bad as it has been painted. It couldn't have been, anyway. Censorship Of the Arts Sculptor Louis Slobodkin joins the ranks of the artist-martyrs whose works have been removed from the public eye by persons who know little about art. Edward J. Flynn, United States commissioner for the New York world's fair, and Theodore T. Hayes, executive assistant United States commissioner, have removed Slobokin's Abraham Lincoln statue from the statuary group in the federal building. Mr. Slobokin was not notified of the act. Mr. Hays, officially responsible for the action, did not help matters any with the statement: "I don't care what all those artist fellow think. It shouldn't have been placed there at all." With these words he defended the depriving of world's fair sightseers from seeing the statue that won second prize in the sculpture competition at the federal building. Censorship is a disreputable term. Yet what term more aptly describes the removal of a work of art in order that the public cannot see it? Though there can be an argument for censorship by qualified critics, there can be none for censorship by unqualified critics. If American art is to progress or keep step with the times, it must be presented to the American people by the artist and not by the layman. The artist contributes his art to so society. It should be society's decision, not that of some intermediator, as to whether a piece of art is acceptable. Open Season Sunday morning two Kansas City policemen shot a young mechanic who, they claimed, was speeding and wouldn't stop. The man was killed. A lieutenant of the police force has announced that, in his opinion, the two detectives were perfectly justified and that there would be no further investigation. Is it now no exaggeration to insinuate that Kansas City police are "getting away with murder?"

(Continued from page one) Football-playing Monte Merkel was the only mon invited to the A.D. Pi hayrack rise last evening. That is, he was the only man besides the guy who drove the tractor. Monte's main duty was keeping cows shooed away when the girls got out to eat fried chicken. Tired of being kept from five to ten minutes after the whistle has blown, a wily student thwarted the professor by setting an alarm clock at exactly 10.20. The changing alarm sounded back rumorously awakened and Professor Chath suddenly took the hint because he dismissed the class. Prof. H. B. Chubb's 9:30 class was saved by the bell this morning. Hill professors are becoming men of letters, whatever that means. Anyway, Prof. Joseph Taggart comes through with something titled "Vignee in Spring" for the current issue of the Biz School tabloid. And a pre-view of the next Sour Owl shows the features by Prof. R. W. Wheeler and Prof. E. C. Buehler to be on the funny side. Authorized Parties--- American Institute of Electrical Engineers, K.U.

Why not buy more ivy plants for the north and south sides of the Union building so as to hide completely those terrible red brick walls? by John Randolph Tye Barbara Daniels wonders whether students next year will refer informally to Chancellor-elect Mallot as Gunga Deane. Are there any others who believe Glabe Musette's recordings of "Beer Barrel Polka" the best buy on the nickelodeon market? It does seem that the public officials of Kansas City, who have resigned likely can think of the nicest resignations in their resignations at this time. Sunday is Mother's Day. College students will show their appreciation by going home for the week-end and then go to college to get a harder书 to entertain them.

"Gee, but I feel intellectual, carrying all these magazines around," said a coed yesterday, as she shifted from one hand to the other her copies of Look, Cosmopolitan, and Good Housekeeping. Election (Continued from page one) Since Ripley won the election by the close margin of nine votes over Bounds, it is the contention of the social frat engineers that had Young's name not been on the ballot. Bounds would have received enough of Young's 18 votes to give him the victory. Marked by sudden appearance of a group in opposition to the professional Greek politicians and by all sorts of alleged miscarriages of "justice" the election this year was sharply contrasted to the 1938 boltling. The headline in the Kansan last year read: "At least, a Clem Election." If the rumors are to be credited, the headline could by no means be applied to yesterday's skirmish. The polls were scheduled to close at 3 p.m. according to signs above the voting place on the first floor of Marvin hall. At 13:30, however, can- you vote? Many engineers, offering to give them rides up the Hill if they would vote.
