PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS ... SUNDAY, MAY 1, 1923 Comment Columnists Influence Readers America governed by a writing oligarchy? This is the contention of Heywood Brown in his weekly column "Shoot the Works" published in the New Republic. He believes Dorothy Thompson had more to do with the defeat of the reorganization bill than any three representatives. Editors and their editorial pages are giving ground to the syndicated columnists who get better space, larger type, and sometimes a photograph of themselves along with the column. Outmoded is Mr. Broun's name for the system of judging newspaper power by a cross-section of editorials. A truer study could be made using the columnists and their views. Unsigned editorials stand no chance beside the partly autobiographical syndicated columns. In the 1936 election Roosevelt won over the opposition of the majority of editorial pages and commentators alike. But Heywood Brown believes the latter were slightly more pro-Roosevelt than the former. "Surely," he says, "no one could deny that Frank Kent is more powerful in shaping public opinion than Rush Holt of West Virginia." But Frank Kent was not elected to his office by the people. Rush Holt was. For these reasons, Mr. Brown calls this writing oligarchy of commentators higher than the upper house and says it constitutes an unhealthy symptom for what is popularly known as the free press. Nazi Propaganda In South America Reports from South America indicate that Hitler definitely has his eye on that continent for future colonization. investigations carried on by the Brazilian and Argentine governments have disclosed that schooling in German districts in these countries is carried on in true Nazi style. Pictures of der Führer and the Nazi symbol decorate the walls of the class room. When one Argentine government official investigating a German district asked one of the students who the president of Argentina was the youngster gave the national socialist salute and replied "Herr Hitler." Further investigation showed that the students were taught in the German language and that native Spanish was seldom used. Little or nothing was taught to impress upon them a sense of loyalty to the native land. They were taught to pay homage to Herr Hitler. In Buenos Aires, German "athletic clubs" have sprung up in every section of the city which seem to be the centers from which Nazi propaganda is distributed. At present the South American governments have the problem of quelling the scourge of Nazi propaganda. In cases where such teachings were stopped by the government, the instructors merely moved to a more suburban center and took up where they left off. When Hitler's propaganda begins to develop a Nazi school of thought on one of the American continents it is getting close to home. In the past his propaganda has invaded a country before his forces have. Legislation To End Tax Exemptions Roosevelt is now asking Congress to end tax exemptions on state and federal securities and employees. This can be done, the President believes, by simple legislation. It is the belief of the administration that the Supreme Court will uphold such legislation in spite of the fact that it would be a reversal of opinion on the part of the court. The present system of taxation violates the principle that citizens should pay in accordance with their ability. Though graduated tax rates may apply to rich and poor alike, the men of greater means are encouraged to invest in tax exempt securities, while those of less means who should be the ones to take advantage of such exempt securities are unable to do so because of the higher rates which have been forced upon the securities by tax immunity. The passage of such legislation would undoubtedly net the federal government considerable additional income and also serve to block one of the main loopholes used by large investors in evading income tax. May Revolutionize Country Journalism With the introduction of the new "fasiasmille", a machine that delivers over the air both pictures and news in printed form, operations of small dailies, weekdays, and radio may be combined in a fashion that would revolutionize country journalism. Out of discussions of local experiments at many publishers' meetings, a national organization to use the "fascism" co-operatively has evolved, according to Publishers' Auxiliary. Plans call for co-operation of weekly and daily newspapers, published in cities ranging from villages up to 10,000 population, with from one to 10 radio stations in each state. Problems involved as to division of net revenue and cost, dissemination of information, and provision of entertainment, however, have yet to be worked out, but no doubt will be solved as the experiment develops. No definite announcement of the organization and its use of the "faesimile" has yet been made. But it's a foregone conclusion that both the radio and newspaper, as well as the public would benefit by an effective combination. Campus Opinion Lack of Self-Control One would be led to believe, in the ordinary course of events, that upon attaining a position as instructor of youth in a great state university, a man learned in the great English literary masterpieces of the ages would also be at least normally learned in the art of self-control. For it is said that no man is educated, he be ever so well-versed in books, until he has like-wise mastered the social graces. It was therefore with raised eyebrows and a touch of pity that as a horrified bystander, I observed a rampaging turtlem staged by a usually soft-speaker instructor in the department of English. Its occasion was the refusal of an assistant in Watson library to break rules regarding the withdrawal of a book by the faculty member. When the unlucky assistant remained firm, the storm broke and abusive insults were heaped with profusion upon all within yelling distance. As a member of the faculty, the individual in question appeared to feel that all should gladly grovel in his Pressure. Surely the gentleman must realize that faculty members are not gods—that they must abide by University regulations as they must sit. And surely he must also realize that instead of causing bothersome librarians to appear foolish, it the man himself who appeared not like two cents but as minus as the national debt. And we trust that he will be treated with kindness, even librarians, ought to be treated with common respect, at least! A harried bystander!

Singing--in the Kitchen Carries Student Through Just another student working his way through college, but there's a story behind it—that lank fry-cook, at Brick's, with a friendly air who talks increasingly about any and everything. By Bob Beeler, c'40 Four years ago Bill Overton, c39, didn't know how he was going to college, or where. 'Then he played a French horn solo, and became a fry-cook. It wasn't as simple as that. He had played French horn for six years in Topeka, where he lived. He was a member of Topeka's two professional bands, Marshall's and the Santa Fe. But it was through high school music that his opportunity came. He played in both the band and orchestra, and sang tenor in the glee club and a quartet, as well as playing tuba and trumpet in miscellaneous German bands and other small instrumental groups. One spring day, three years ago, Bill played his French horn in a host room at the University band, was judging the contest, and liked the way Bill played, like it enough, in fact, to help Bill get a job as sandwich boy at the Grandma coffee shop that summer. Operated Soda Fountain While he was making sandwiches at the Granada, Bill learned to operate a soda fountain and cook. He worked there for over a year. While he was working he didn't neglect his activities on the Hill either. During his first year he was on the freshman swimming team, he swam breast stroke, and the varsity man often. At the same time he was first in the Pitcher horn game in the Pitcher. When the band took its trip that spring, Bill went—but still held his job. That was because Floyd Buoshoon, who drove the band bus, managed the coffee shop. Bill worked all summer following his freshman year. About the middle of the summer he changed jobs, and worked as fry-cook for Bill Pappas at Bill's Lunch. He there worked steadily until after school was out last summer. He decided he had earned a vacation, and took one—he hiked to Georgia and back. After his return he worked for a while longer at Bill's Lunch then got his present job at Brick's. At Brick's Every Day. At Brick's this winter Bill has worked everyday they were open—he assembles the lunches, dinners, breakfasts, hot sandwiches, and many other orders. Some days he puts out as many as 350 orders by himself. During the last two years Bill has developed a memory for remembering when to put food during a rush, shout orders at him from all angles. All he has to do is remember them until he can put them up, which is an incredibly short time considering the volume of food he puts out. At noon, he may receive as many as 60 orders in five minutes. Usually he has about 30 or as many as 35 to remember at one time during the busy day until they start substituting. Then he has to remember everything that is substituted as well as the plates, liners, and hot sandwiches. The hardest thing about the busin s is to keep his temper. Bill say but he usually manages. Aside fror Springfield, Ohio, April 30—(UP) —A "last man's" club of veterans has been organized here with an arrangement for the donation of a special bug to be inscribed with the names of 100 members over whose graves it eventually will be used to sound taps. Veterans Form Club To Sound Special Taps Russell Rouch, president of the organization, which started with 12 members and now has 49, said it was patterned along lines of old Civil War veteran organizations which met annually to drink a toast to companions-in-arms who had died during preceding years. All present members are World War veterans except an associate member; C. W. Needle, last man of the old Grand Army of the Republic post here. The last survivor of the Spanish-American War veterans post here will be made an associate in years to come, Rouch said. The club has applied for a state charter which limits its membership to 100. The bugle is to be given by Miss Margaret Baker, a World War nurse. At the death of each member and associate member a bugler will use it to play taps and it will then be inscribed with the former veteran's name until the one hundredth man is gone and the instrument will then be given to the Clark County Historical Society. In Men's Glee Club Last semester Bill sang in the Men's Golf Club. Since his freshman year he hasn't had time to swim or play in the band. Bill's friends say he talks, or sings, all the time. While he works he talks—he always talks fast, but the faster he works the faster he talks, and the faster he talks the faster he works. Only once, Bill says, did he ever get tired of talking. That was when everyone gave him a ride wanted to know where he was from, where he was going, how far he had gone, how fast, and what he thought about everything. Unlike many talkers Bill is interesting. He will talk about any subject, and usually knows more than a little about it. Conversing with all kinds of people in all occupations over lunch counters has given him a broad knowledge. Bill intends to enter law school Music Week-instrument in Hoch auditorium.
