PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS SUNDAY, APRIL 2.1939 Kansan Comment Christianity Will Live On Good Friday of this week will close the forty-day period of Lent observed by many churches of the Christian faith, and Easter Sunday will celebrate the day of the Resurrection. It is a period in which Christian churches reflect on the past and look forward to the preservation of their religion. Christian faith has shown a remarkable ability to survive in spite of the numerous campaigns that have been launched against it since its founding. It became the official religion of the Romans in 337 A.D., but ever since that early triumph, despotic rulers and monarchs have tried in vain to abolish it. The reason for its survival is that through all its variations, Christianity has never lost the idea of a devotion to God that makes the personal ambitions and vanities of autocratic rulers seem insignificant when compared to the power of God. Living in a community where such a religion has touched, no man can be altogether a slave. Christianity has a quality that compels men to judge their rulers and to realize the importance of the individual. The twentieth century is witnessing another strong movement against Christianity. The first step was taken by Russia. Despite the laws passed against religion there, authorities found that they failed to stop all worship. Many homes had secret shrines, and Russian rulers have recently taken the wiser course of permitting worship. They have learned an old lesson—that religion is a fundamental part of man's life that cannot be completely eradicated. The anti-Christian movement has spread into Germany. Palestine, the birth-place of Christianity, has seen a similar reaction against churches. The next drive against religion will probably take place in Spain. Despite the efforts of dictators who wish to deprive their people of loyalty to any religion so that they may worship "the state" wholeheartedly, Christianity will not be crushed. The church will still commemorate Easter Sunday. We Like To Go Convention-Crazy Comes Sunday, bringing a full to the Campus, which has been extremely convention-conscious the last few days. We can sit back and be ourselves, and get ready for the W.S.G.A. conference delegates who will arrive late today and tomorrow. Practically all of the visiting scientists, educators, and independents have returned to their respective towns. We hope that all of them learned that this is a pretty fine place. All three of the conventions went off smoothly, with the Kansas Academy of Science (also the Junior Academy) holding meetings in Snow hall, the Spring Educational Conference having their sessions in Fraser hall, and the Independent Student Association holding forth in the Memorial Union building and points west. The fact that the University can play host simultaneously to three large groups with such widely differing purposes proves that this school of ours is, after all, a big place. The success of the conventions speaks well for our faculty, students, buildings, equipment, and entertaining facilities. Our convention capacity has turned out to be really something. Bethe the University could have taken on a couple more conventions and still have done the job well. On with the W.S.G.A. conference—we like conventions and we like to show off for them. In Sight--- Television Television has at last come out of the laboratory and into the home. On April 30 the National Broadcasting Company will be on the air with regular television broadcasts in the New York area. Television receiving sets are now on the market. Receivers for home use will range in price from $150 for pictures only 7 by 10 inches to $1,000 for sight-sound combination sets. The Federal Communications Commission has stated that television is not ready for standardization or commercial use by the general public, but pioneers with enough money will doubtless be enjoying the new invention. Compared to the beginnings of sound broadcasting, television is bursting on the public in a state of advanced development. Most of the technical problems have been solved—at least provisionally. There are still innumerable limitations and problems, but the new industry will take them in its stride. In England, where television has thus far been an unspectacular flop, the industry is government-subsidized. Here television will have to pay its own way with the broadcasting companies shouldering the costs until it gets far enough along to interest advertisers. Television broadcasting should open up a great new field of employment. It will constantly demand writers, musicians, actors, directors—new thoughts, new songs, new words. A new technique of presentation is evolving totally unlike the theater, the movie, or the present radio technique. Television is with us at last, though it is rumored that interference from automobile spark plugs is only one of the difficulties to be surmounted. The supreme court ruled that the federal government may tax salaries of state employees and that the state government may tax the salaries of federal employees. It is not expected that this will decrease appreciably the number of those desiring federal and state jobs. Campus Opinion Editor: Daily Kansan Not that we would criticize "Little Jimmy" and his August views on subjects obviously obliquely his comprehension, but we would like to say for ourselves Jimmy others, that we thought the play was damn good! Of course we realize that his stiff neck would not permit him look around the post, and that he may be in a position to play for sympathy for his cold (but he'd not get any flowers anyway), and for these remarks, and because he let his desire for publicity for "being different" override a love of his fans, he did this. He is a man. A wide variety of plays, from comedy and vaudeville to seriously-caught drama, has been presented by Kansas Players, and we here can vote of Thanks. One question we would like to have answered, however. We know and applaud the excellent acting of the various teachers on the BHI, but why not let the students on the BHI act as well? The instructors are supposed to have had their chance at acting—why not give the students the leads, even though they are difficult? The students showed themselves admirably in all the parts they played and well as the teachers did. So the teachers off the honors just as creditably as do their elders. And we still liked the Kansas Players production of "Outward Bound." It made even us think!

He also had letters from everyone in the state of Texas. On the other hand, perhaps too much has been written about the ruffling off of the handsome screen hero to the Dodging City population.

There would have been some sense of a thing like that. On their return from their marriage trip, Carole Lombard and Clark Gallow made into Miss Lombard's home. The house will probably be known now as the House of the Third Gables. Ken magazine has adopted a newer and smaller format which is just as well. There never was enough worth-while reading material in the magazine to affect the energy one spent in carrying the heavy magazine home from the bookstands. Joan Crawford wetted for a few minutes when she met her ex-husband—to be in New York the other evening. Only about a dozen reporters only know that mom was on hand to record the centerfold making for posterity. This is written before the Independent dance, but it looks as if everyone is fixed with a date. These poor girls back home are taking a beating (or a vacation). Wisconsin Key Man (or stooge), Bob Herring was asked if he was still true to his home flame, replied "It doesn't look like it." And the rest of you delegates aren't lily white yourself. Some of them have fixed themselves up through the years . . . The play, "Hay Fever" was certainly good. Still can't find any connection between the name and the play. Papa Bliss had some of eyes, and the Kappa who played the lead can transfer to our campus any time. (And we are independents.) . . . We hear that the K. U. boys are peeved about the fact that the campus beauties were being saved for the independents. Now listen, fellows, we'll touch that every deleterious person with fifty of their best in exchange. Deen Armo Nowowity, of Texas deserves the Red Derby for his speech at the Friday evening banquet. The Red Derby, you know, is given to the outstanding speaker at the Gridiron Banquet, Washington Square Park in Chicago (it's professional) in various parts of the country . . . Dean J. F. Findley, and Theun Creecon, both of Oklahoma, get our bouquets for the work they have carried on during the past year. We can't list all of the men who deceived us; we can't each delegation knows their own. This sales tax is the berries. Some of the boys have been trying to pass those to the mill pieces off at dimes, but the Kawans are too smart. Wait until we get home and talk to our state's coffees with ailent tender. It's been a swell convention. As yet we don't know who will have it next year, but we hope they will do as well to k. K. U. And please, we therunner, let's have this Kansas weather all the way home.
