PAGE TWO 7 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN.,LAWRENCE. KANSAS WEDNESDAY. MARCH 29. 1939 Kansan Eudemonists, That's What We Are "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was last year's most successful motion picture, according to Will Hays, unofficial "Czar" of the movies. Amid all this to-do over international and national affairs this is a comforting thought. We are a fairly normal group of people if we can produce and whole-heartedly appreciate something as beautifully simple and void of social significance as is "Snow White." Mr. Hays has a nice big word for people like us—people who will put out hard-earned cash again and again in order to watch Dopey wash his face, and see Prince Charming carry Snow White on a charger. Although we didn't know it, we are "eudemonists," people who believe in happiness as the proper end of all conduct in the world. Well, no matter what Mr. Hays thinks we are, we're glad we are what we are. There would be something radically wrong with us if we didn't like "Snow White." And we'd like for all our stories to end "happily ever after." Perhaps some of our more serious-minded friends abroad might construe a sinister meaning to the popularity of the fairy story-movie in America. They might see in the seven dwarfs something symbolical of a new type of business organization—work together, live together, share the profits, and be idyllicly happy. But sinister meanings or not, we are eudemonists. So, if a philosophy student asks you if you are a eudemonist, don't think that he wants to know if you believe in Mephtistopheles. Tell him, "Yeah, I like Dopey, too." Peace May Be as Expensive as War The surrender of Madrid brings to a close one conflict in Spain and marks the opening of another struggle. For even as armed battle between nationalist and republican forces ceases, the victorious legions must begin a vast program of rehabilitation. Spain's losses in the almost three years of civil strife have been staggering. The toll in lives reached 1,000,000; thousands of factories were destroyed by shell and fire; one of the nation's leading industries, mining, was devoted almost exclusively to war products and now is of negligible commercial value; the proud vineyards suffered from lack of attention; miles upon miles of highways and railroads were ruined; and war reduced livestock heavily. When the last shot is fired, Generalissimo Franco must attempt to weld his scattered supporters into a political unit. This will be the immediate problem, but not the most difficult one. In attempting to replenish his economic larder and to rebuild ruined industries, Franco first must cope with a labor shortage that will hamper any reconstruction efforts. The important industrial centers of Basque and Catalan are greatly handicapped by lack of competent workers. Largely loyalist sympathizers, they fled by thousands to France, fearing reprisals. Franco's promise of full pardon for the defeated, however, may draw many refuges back to Spain. Rehabilitation, then, must proceed along these lines: 1. Housing and providing jobs for more than 500,000 refugees, most of whom are agricultural workers; 2. Supplying 100,000 skilled laborers to build up Spain's devastated industries; 3. Restoring agricultural production, reduced heavily by the war; 4. Repairing power plants, railroads, highways, bridges and waterworks on which the conflict caused devastating losses; and finally, re-establishing retail and foreign commerce. Least difficulty of all reconstruction problems will be the financial one. While large amounts of credit will be needed, Franco should get substantial aid from Germany and Italy in addition to these, he will find England and France willing to establish diplomatic friendship through loans. The Fascist leader, moreover, has consistently shied away from inflationary schemes and has indicated he will not recognize nationalist debts. The stupendous task of rebuilding will be a slow one. What war destroyed in two years and eight months, peace must replace. Where war goes about its job of ruining systematically, peace moves clumsily, unsystematically. Climbing back up the hill to normaly is always the more difficult. Dodge City Goes Hollywood Dodge City's premier day is drawing nearer; daily its citizens are becoming more impatient to see the galaxy of stars who will attend the celebration next Saturday. Warner Brothers have spent a million and a half dollars on the technicolor film, which will have its first showing in the city for which it is named. Dodge Comment City, itself, has spent many thousands of dollars preparing for the event. There are no two ways about it—the film must be a success. If it isn't a success, Dodge City will be down on Warner Brothers and the rest of the country will be dislusioned about Dodge City. Warner Brothers can make money on the production even if the picture isn't good, but Dodge City won't be able to live it down if the film is a flop—it will be holding the seek. It must be remembered that the film isn't based on the characters and stories of old Dodge City. It is just another cowboy show with the name "Dodge City" tacked on it to make it sound good. The scenes were all shot in California; Dodge City shared in no part of the film's production. Therefore, if Errol Flynn tears out to the mountains in the film, or if Boot Hill is strenued with markers and tomb stones, don't blame Dodge City for these fakes. The picture will be misleading to many because it is fictitious, but if one is conscious of the foregoing thoughts, the picture can not be a flop. Lesson No. Six: Mid-Semesters Today is the mid-point in the spring se mester. That's too bad. isn't it? Now you know why the teachers gave all those mid-semester tests last week. They wanted to see if you had studied during the first half of the semester. They found out. So let's all make a mid-term resolution: "I promise to do my studying from henceforth even forever more—until the term." All right, do you resolve? That's fine. We'll remind you of it about final time. Campus Opinion Editor, Daily Kaiser It is all very well for the visiting delegates that the team of our staff in U.S.A. should sign in for the date bureau, whereby they forsake all previous engagements with home talent in order to aid and abet the teams in their final days. A good time, but what about the rest of us? We, who spend our time and efforts in pleasing these same delegates? You may say: Why not sit the date bureau list yourself? But the conservative young fellow who wishes doesn't want to relinquish his chances of having such a date, he says, should probably be the method they will employ, of the dating bureau. Who wants to be stuck with a girl or a boy—who makes dancing a form of medieval painting? So they will go to the floorills any chance of her or his ever being cut in on no matter how much they resemble Mylra Or—you All these men who are being thus forgotten on the vee of one of the organization's most important events should form a league with the purpose of openly leaving their jobs and participating in collegiate whose dancing ability is nil. Similarly, we should form a companion league, composed of these University men who lack certain pedal abilities, to cut in on these traitorous University maids. All be required to give up their own feelings through the medium of this column.

Harold Addington As the idea of having the paper run by one man was not satisfactory to the college public, a Kansas University Publishing Association was formed. Under this new management, the editors were elected in a manner similar to the present election and a Pachacamaca candidate. They made up some fraternity, security, or party class of 189 Discontinued At this time according to Professor Hopkins, the Kansan was run entirely by two or three men. It was a private enterprise and the men kept whatputer profit they made. The paper was published spasmodically and its leading editor at the time was Harold Barnes who later became a member of the English faculty at Girard College in Philadelphia. A graduate from the University Courier was edited by Rosew Chambers. These two paper sometimes alternated and sometimes run together. Feature Editor ... Mary Lou Randall Fifty years ago the man who established the University Kasan as a regular newspaper arrived on the Campus. This was Dr. M. H. Hopkins, now retired professor of English, who was to establish several departments in the University. In the burial of our friend, the department of public speaking and debate, the department of journalism owe their beginning to him. About 1891 Dean F. W. Blackman suggested that the University might well offer a course in journalism, and he asked Professor Hopkins if he were willing to initiate it. During the first semester of 1891-92 such a course was offered, perhaps the first of its kind in the country. This was before college had begun to consider giving courses in journalism. The newspaper man of that time didn't believe in teaching such a subject. According to them the only way one could become a good newspaper man was to "eat ink and sleep on the composing stone." After the semester this course was discontinued because of the small enrollment. Not till about 1900 did the University of Missouri offer what was probably the first regular course curriculum given in the United States.

He invited Henry Allen, editor of the Ottawa Herald, and Ewing Herbert from Hiwainthu, Kany, two of the leading figures in the purpose of talking over the advisability of offering a course in journalism. These men were so favorably inclined toward it that the Chancellor decided to institute the new course. He turned the class over to Professor Holding as a course in the history of the press. This course began in the fall of 1930 and has continued ever since. The first class was composed of eleven members. Among them, some who became well-known were notes'n discords by John Randolph Tye Following the gold-fish contests in the public press as we do, we blush for shame to find that no entry from our school has yet even attempted to wrest the gold-fish eating honors from the collegian of Pennsylvania. If no one else comes to the force within the next few weeks, we'll afraid well have to make a try at it for the honor and glory of the school. After all, 24 gold fish shouldn't taste any different than 24 shrimp, and people have caten that many shrimp and lived to tell the tale. Ether M. Clark, Kansas poet and the author of the "Call of Kansas," Marvin Creeger, editor of the Milwaukee Journal, C. L. Edson, draftman on the Kansas City Star and still in newspaper work, Ralph Ells, later president of the Kansas University. It was obvious that the class in journalism should have charge of the Kansan. Professor Hopkins, therefore, asked the Kansas University Publishing Association to turn the paper over to them in the fall of 1904. The association promptly assented, thereby voted itself out of existence. The Kansan was reorganized on a basis analogous to the pattern of the Yale News, Harvard Crismon, and the Princetonian, Jesse Kayser was the first editor of the reorganized Kansan and the man who really put it on its feet. He is now editor of the Chickasaw Star in Oklahoma. The Pioneer day celebration of Jodge City, which is being ennured by a beard growing contest in the park undoubtedly be a big day for Donna. The day-day of the whole affair will be he day the beards are shaved off. After a year or so Mr. Harper lectured to the class once a week and continued as visiting lecture until he was forced to take full charge of the course as non- The second semester of 1903-04 the class didn't fare very well, for only three students enrolled. Three persons weren't enough to put out the Kansas so Professor Hopkins called for volunteers from the freshman rhetoric class. Fifteen students responded among whom were Jerome Beatty, well-known magazine writer, and Roy Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star. Outstanding editors were invited to speak before class. Among them were Walter Willis, the University of Michigan, B. B. Herbert from Chicago, and Albert Read, cartoonist on the Topka Capital, and Charles M. Harger, editor of the Abilene Reflector.

In the above illustration the artist crystallizes the historical legend which was an important factor of Lincoln's growth. He studied persistently in the unsteady light from flames in a fire-place. Had Lincoln been of less-hardy mold his eyesight might have failed him at an early age. But his whole life was bound up in hardships—akin to the age. In 1939 the luxuries of a luckier Lincoln are commonplace or necessity. Our light comes from lamps of scientific eye-ease construction. Through one medium, another product of the progress of our age, such former luxuries are made universal because they fall in a price range most of us can pay. That medium is advertising. Advertising is the blood of large scale production which allows low cost on goods. Modern men may ride the crest of progress already made toward Shangri-Las only dreamed of by Lincolns.
