PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY, APRIL 28. 1939 Kansan Comment The Political 'Deadheads' Or the Student Body Must Pay When the M.S.C.W.-S.G.A. dance pass question—soon to find a preliminary answer at the Senior Cakewalk—is stripped of its confusing features, it may be reduced to simple alternatives. Either the student legislators must give up their self-construed right to attend class parties (with dates), or the student body must resign itself to a long series of second-rate bands. The issue is clear. If dance passes to class parties were abolished, the result—when widely-popular orchestras like Kay Kyser are signed—would be 1. fewer people would attend, thereby relieving the distressing situation of crowdedness; or 2. more room for paid admissions would be available, thereby making possible a profitable affair. The added revenue which might accrue from selling tickets to some of those who now enter free is but a minor factor. The point is this: no class is willing to take the risk of signing a top-notch band when faced with the foregone conclusion that part of the limited dancing space will be taken up by "deadheads." The fact that the council's dance passes are issued for life and that the political mill grinds into nearly new pass-holders each year accents this risk. To remedy the situation, the Kansan calls upon the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G. A. to: 1. limit passes to those who are serving on the councils and make them valid only for the time the student is serving on the council; 2. invalidate passes for class parties. In fairness to the student body, this is the reasonable thing to do. Umpire Education Would Stop Squawks Soft ball will receive increased attention alike from fraternity and independent teams this year. Because of the bad weather the season has been slow getting started, but one of the most popular of intramural sports will soon be under way—with all the attendant troubles. "Gripping" at umpires has long been an integral part of both professional and sand-lot baseball. The intramural baseball games contain much of this part of baseball. Indeed, we suspect some persons just play intramural baseball to "gripe" at the umpires. The position of an umpire in a baseball game is never enviable, and it's worse at the University. To a certain extent this fussing is justified. On several occasions last year umpires found themselves at a complete loss because they didn't know what to do. The classic example is the story about the referee who called the game at the end of the fifth inning because he wasn't sure what to do when the man at bat sat down on the plate. The idea, of course, was to get the umpire rattled. Poor or ignorant refereeing can be and has been to a remarkable degree eliminated from the intramural program at the University. If all the umpires would learn the principal rules of the game, and convince the players and spectators that they know them, most of the umpire-baiting would stop. This action, plus a few more regular meetings of the umpires during the season to figure out solutions to the officiating problems that inevitably come up, would reduce the cry of "Kill the Umpire" to its usual meaninglessness. Hitler spoke for two hours and seventeen minutes today. This is not considered so long for the only voice in Germany. Gene Tunney thinks any really good fighter can knock out Gargantua, the giant gorilla. Even Joe Louis? Methodist Show It Can Be Done A harmonious note amid world discord is being sounded in Kansas City, as the representatives of eight million Methodists meet to unite the three divisions of the church after many decades of separate existence. The Methodists have at last decided to patch up their dogmatic differences and make their church one great spiritual union. History has shown that during world crises religions tend to draw closer together, and to put their common purpose above individual differences. Accordingly, the unification conference has a deep meaning, to which the whole world can bear witness. The unification conference proves that, at the same time that silver-tongued diplomats make the rounds of the capitols of Europe and nations' first concerns are over their neighbors' war machines, 900 delegates from 20 countries of the world representing three groups of church goers have assembled to work out a feasible and fair plan of agreement. Probably each of the three groups will have to submit to compromises in ironing out technical difficulties; but that will cause little disturbance, for the purpose of the conference will be set above any petty disagreements. The year 1939 will be an important one in the annals of the Methodist Church. It will rank with 1784, when the Church was organized in America; with 1828, when the Methodist Protestants separated from the mother church; and with 1844, when the slavery question split the Methodist Episcopal into the northern and southern divisions. Such a note of unity is gladly heard by those who are weary of political schisms and discord. And the conference shows that some small feeling of internationalism still exists in the world. Anthony Eden has joined the territorial army in England to promote the national defense movement. He always did look well in a uniform. But Opinions Can't Be Suppressed Apparently John Steuart Curry does not believe in freedom of speech—at any rate not when his mural sketches are being criticized. Since the time when Mr. Curry first displayed his sketches for the proposed murals for the rotunda walls of the Kansas Capitol building, the state has echoed with pros and cons concerning his sketches. Some critics think the murals should flatter the state, not reveal such Kansas scourges as grasshoppers, drought, and dust. Others wish to cut down the size and effect of the proposed murals to prevent infringement on the Italian marble pillars in the Capitol building. Furthermore the stark realism of the sketches seems to jar the artistic tastes of hundreds o capitol visitors. The sight of the sketches draws comment no longer from capitol visitors. John Steuart Curry withdrew them, with the statement that they were an unfinished product. This action however, causes as much comment as the realism of the sketches. John Steuart Curry, admitted a great artist, and, like all great artists, a sensitive person, should be allowed his individual mannerisms. If he does not like his work criticized, then it is his privilege to object. But if he thinks that he can stop criticism of his work, Mr. Curry is sadly mistaken, for the American public simply insists on a violent, irrational, but usually good-natured dig at everything new or novel.

According to the Kansas City Star the Pro Bono Sunshine Club will have a bridge party tomorrow. What we would like to know about the organization is not whether it spends it's time sprinkling sunshine where it may but if it uses as a motto those fine old words, Pro Bono Publioe. Another good reason for telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said. If Spring would only quit beating around the Mulberry bush, we'd get busy and write a column on the subject. Much as we have enjoyed the programs of Music Week, the very thought of listening to a missed band of 400 pieces so terrifies us that we are afraid we will have to stick close to our room and listen to the radio. . . .

She's under oath and it's not fair to let her say what things like that!" It was several minutes before that. And the banker bank could restore order and satisfy protests of the plaintiff's counsel. (Continued from page one) The most important thing brought out in the trial was the fact that on the University of Kansas campus, the University prirature constitutes a betrothal. A masterful bit of pleading was done by plaintiff attorneys Herman Smith, Bill Cochrane, and Ray Roberts, to win the case in the closing minutes of the verbal battle. Attorneys Joe Sheedy, Bion Khoran vocalist, and Jeff defendant, defenda cause, but the plaintiff's witness were too well coached. Mr. Henry W. Laffer, a prominent insurance man and father of the defendant, squirmed visibly when he heard himself described as an honest but unemployed carpenter. Perhaps it was this that prompted him tenderly to tap Roberta (Still Sarah) to look on the shoulder and assure her that even if she lost the case he would see that she was taken care of. Frankly, Ye Shinster was a bit irked by it all. He was called as a witness and spent an hour or more memorizing his lines. Then he discovered that witnesses Mary Mark-Clure were stealing his speeches, and finally on the stand that the lawyer wouldn't follow the script. Asked for a statement, Judge Brocklebuck, said, "It was a most interesting trial. I'd still like to hear about what happened in Chicago."
