Kansan Comment
NLRB Proves Success As Settler of Labor Disputes
While Congress prepares to consider changes in the Wagner Act, the National Labor Relations Board's own report of its record suggests that government arbitration in the future may hold a reasonable solution to perplexing employer-employee relations.
The report also provides a hint that the NLRB, or some similar governmental agency, may be the means of obtaining amicable settlement of jurisdictional disputes between labor's rival factions, the A.F. of L. and C.I.O. There is, furthermore, implication that strikes, arising from disagreement of workers and employers, are tremendously over-emphasized in newspaper accounts.
What is the basis for these significant interpretations? The answer is the NLRB's own figures.
Optimistic prospects for increased acceptance of government arbitration find support in the fact that 95 per cent of 8,851 cases closed during the year were settled by dismissal or withdrawal of union complaints or by agreements between workers and employers without a hearing. Certainly, the continued ability of the NLRB to reach accepted decisions in such a large percentage of its cases can result only in growing confidence in third party arbitration.
As for C.I.O. A.F. of L. relations, similar success is indicated. In the fiscal year ended June 30, the NLRB heard 41 cases involving substantial disagreement between the Lewis and Green organizations. The important result is not that 21 were decided for A.F. of L. and 16 for C.I.O. but that the board was able to satisfy the aggressive rivals in 37 of 41 instances. Four cases were dismissed or withdrawn.
Suggestion that strike publicity has reached excessive proportions is found in the fact that most of the cases which the public heard about were in the five per cent the NLRB was unable to settle—a small number in comparison with nearly 8,500 that were agreeably decided.
This statistical evidence, however, proves only that the NLRB was a mathematical success. From this record, favorable though it may be, tine cannot correctly deduce that the Wagner Act is faultless. The A.F. of L's nine proposed changes in the act, including amendments curtailing the NLRB power to invalidate existing contracts and requiring the board to give all interested parties—including unions—due notice of intention to investigate a contract, deserve careful consideration. The C.I.O. and manufacturers' associations have equally important proposals.
There can be no doubt, nevertheless, that the NLRB has survived a critical test. Through the evolution of corrections that judicious Congressional amendment can bring about, the Wagner Act may emerge to guide a bitter, revengeful, suspicious industrial America along apath of friendly co-operation, mutual consideration and respect. Herein lies a bright hope for the future.
H. Alger, III, Presents 'A Modern Success Story'
By Horatio Alger, III
Once upon a time there were two little well, rather middle-sized—girls who went to a great big university.
One girl was named Ann.
One girl was named Ann
The other girl was named Susan.
And lo, and behold, then came finals.
Susan and Ann were taking the same courses. Indeed, both were together in every class they had.
Ann studied hard every night before each final, staying up until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning for a last-minute review before the big push over the top.
Susan spent about 30 minutes looking over Ann's notes (for Susan never took any notes herself) and then went out to a picture show every night before a test. She was in bed at 11 o'clock every time.
And it came to the final, one of the girls was all muddled up and put down the wrong things upon her paper.
Her quizzes had as many red marks on them as a page out of the national budget.
And her grade was just about as far in the hole, too.
But the other one swept through the final like a snap and received A double plus on every one, which was pretty good, considering.
Ann, the one who studied every night, was the one who received the A's.
When the sun goes down, it's a signal to redouble your caution at the wheel.
For every mile of travel, three times as many people are killed in traffic at night as in the daytime, according to 1938 statistics.
How long will you and I be lucky?
Medical School Needs Building Completed
The following editorial is reprinted from the Kansas City Star:
Among the needs presented by the State Board of Regents to the Kansas legislature, none are more pressing than those for the University of Kansas medical school and hospital in Kansas City. Kansas.
The situation there presents the paradox of large investments in buildings which are standing in total or partial idleness due to the lack of sufficient funds to complete or equip them. A glance through the hospital plant reveals the following conditions:
The children's pavilion, constructed in 1936-37, through a gift of $60,000, a PWA grant of $57,270, and hospital earnings of $4,095, a total cost of $121,365, is unfurnished and its upper floors are unfinished.
The Negro ward is still under construction.
The dispensary, built in 1936-37 at a cost of $132,397, of which $87,397 came from surplus hospital earnings and $45,000 from PWA grants, is unfurnished and its upper floors are unfinished.
The Hixon research laboratory is still under construction.
New and additional X-ray equipment is needed for the X-ray department on the second floor of the connecting corridor.
The older buildings need renovation and other repairs.
Of these buildings the children's pavilion, dispensary and the research laboratory have cost the state virtually nothing, being made possible by gifts, hospital earnings and PWA grants. The laboratory is now being finished due to an additional gift of $35,000 and a PWA grant of $28,636.
The other two structures, the children's pavilion and dispensary, however, represent a dead loss to the hospital and school in their present condition.
These facilities are badly needed. The appropriations asked to complete them are relatively small. Purely from a standpoint of efficient business, the legislature should make he necessary appropriations to permit putting him into usefulness as soon as possible.
We Love Us More Than Them
A boy's athletic club in New York City canvassed 50,000 boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 16 to find out their likes and dislikes. According to the survey, Hitler was the most hated man, with Mussolini second. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the best loved person—with God second.
This may remind the reader of the famous sociological concept of "we" and "they" groups. There is love for the "we" group, and hate for the outside group. A German survey might easily reverse the first choices, putting Hitler the most loved and Roosevelt the most hated.
The poll showed the favorite vegetable of the vouths to be—of all things—sninch.
Oh, well, maybe polls, as well as fashion are spinach.

Backward Glances At the Fading Semester
by nonceteric Burillon, ew
this semester will go down in history as a noteworthy term—and we don't want a measure of the will now present what's happened this semester at the University so that when you go home after the siege of quizzes is over, you can explain why you weren't so busy on the academic aspect.
By Roderick Burton. c'40
The semester started with a rush. The outcome was 133 new sorority pledges. The fraternities nabbed 328 new brothers a week later. Of course, enrollment and registration and psychological and phys-
and psychosocial realities of families and freshman lectures and counselors and line-standing in -came comparatively early in the semester. In fact, it was at the beginning of the year as we recall.
Then student induction and caps and library tours and orchestra tryouts and the first convoitation came along. The M.S.C. opens with a squirrel, showing that at least 20 students respect for the University, traditions.
Kansas Beats Texas
Kansas won a football game from Texas by a dropkick. It was quite unusual.
On Sept. 27 the Kansan blaze forth with "Scholarship Ranking Increases This Year." We read the story with interest—all about the Kansan family and the honorary fraternities and sororites receiving an average of 2.13. If what we have heard the last week is anywhere near the truth the Kansan will not print the same headline next year.
The Sour Owl came out on Sept. 30. We don't remember anything about it, so it couldn't have been so, so bad. We don't remember anything about their other issues, either, which is probably just as well.
Training Tables In
Saturday, Oct. 1, was a notabla day. The Jayhawkers played Notre Dame. They didn't do as well as Carnegie Tech. The Big Six decided to let the schools have training tables. Kansas immediately got one—but still didn't catch up with Carnegie Tech.
M. S.C. starts plans to study dormitories. It men's dormitories, too. The School of Medicine held an election. If it was a political affair, the Senate would form a committee that there was an election after the thirst was almost over.
The First Lady Comes
Oct. 11, the Kansan presented a plan for study for examinations. We thought we'd let you know just in case you want to look it up for next
Writer John Tunis comes up on Oct. 13 and says football is "housy" and Hill girls "alive." He was of the opinion that the girls have "more on the ball" than the game-at least in Kansas.
University Christian Week came along about this time. It might have been more appropriate several weeks later when mid-semester came along, but still the Mission was well-tattened. Tell your parents Jones and Koo gave interesting and good talks, if they want to know about
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, widely known as a traveller, lecturer, and also First Lady, visited the University and lectured. And a charming time was had by all—as all were charmed.
The University Band started a campaign Nov. 1 to go to Washington Nov. 11. Various congressmen had started their campaign to go to Washington earlier, but the band got there earlier and saw the Kansas-Washington football game. Or maybe they were the game.
The University celebrated its seventy-fifth birthday with a dinner, broadcast, and speeches by the Chancellor and Willim Allen White After the speeches and all, were weured that it couldn't happen every night.
Robert M. Hutchins talked to a lot of students - well, a lot for a convoction - about education. Doctor Hutchins made the reasonable request that education make "rational animals move rational."
"On to Washington
Oct. 30, the Aggies were plowed under. They considered it more or less a dirty trick by the Kansas team, as Kansas State College was supposed to win. The plowing under was an upset, at least.
Homecoming for graduates comes but once a year. It came Nov. 4. They came. The floats were a success, and the game was exciting. Everybody became hobbes—and we had no orchestra instruments, either.
Reds Are Found
Erica Morini opened the concerts series, Nov. 9.
The freshman election was a success--for the Pachacamacs.
mistice Day becoming a vacation. (Say, how about an Armistice Day on finals.)
Everybody was glad about Ar-
Dr Victor Heiser took the Compa-
don on a world tour in the auditorium.
It's a nice trick, if you can do it.
The Regents' committee reported a few "reds" at the University. This was apparently one of the few redds in the University journals, recorded in its physical examinations.
Everybody blossomed out for "Blossom Time," Nov. 16. The auditorium was filled with people, and the arena was filled with costumes.
The senior class proved to be slow in taking the final exams given by the hospital before the seniors leave for the not so healthy world. The seniors seem to be forgetful, Doctor Canuteson stated.
*Spots of ink dropped on brown paper won honorable mention at the national Scarab art exhibition. It did all about it, but the judges didn't.*
Ink Spots Win Prize
General Smiedley D. Butler told the students "war is a racket." They haven't invented noiseless bombs and they don't want to be part of States might as well stay out.
Thankgiving Day vacation was worth giving thanks for.
The Cossack chorus came and sang and conquered.
Our debaters met the Oxford debaters in a frank talkfest. An Anglo-American alliance was argued, without result. The Oxford debater called our neutrality laws "aberd."
Chancellor Ernest H. Lindley made known that he would resign at the end of the school year.
The Chancellor Resigns

Bridge Makes News
A bridge tournament was held by the Union building the last week before Christmas vacation. Bob Clemente won the championship from George
Clasen, c'39, and Elon Torrence, c'39. As Clasen and Torrence had never played contract before, yet went to the finals, many of us resolved to burn our bridge behind us.
Christmas came. It went much faster.
Dean Lawson reported that 49 per cent of all the grades given in the College were A's and B's, but many who were not had asked didn't seemed to notice it.
On Jan. 7 Oklahoma defeated Kansas in basketball, 43-31. The Eig Six race has since developed into a race.

Word of the failure came to the zoo officials from Mrs. William Harkness, Jr., who left Chicago last May 24 to hunt for two pandas.
Writing from Darjeering, India
one of Asia's coldest spots, she said that she captured two pandas, but one died and the other got unruly and had to be released. It was the first message zoo officials had from her since August.
