Comment
'Lift Up Thine Eyes.' Kansas
Kansas has much to be proud of in her press, Ralph Baker, secretary of the Kansas Press association, speaking to journalism students here at the University this week, mentioned the fact that Kansas has some of the best nationally-rated weeklies in the country.
In recent weeks, the Emporia Weekly Gazette points out, Kansas has had exhibited two outstanding examples of this impartiality and fairness. The first case was that of the manner in which the Kansas press, predominantly Republican, treated the Jackson day party of the Democrats. Jackson day is for the Kansas Democrats what Kansas day is for the Republicans. And yet, as the Gazette notes, "Column for column and inch for inch, the Kansas-daily press, which is practically unanimously Republican, gave exactly the same amount of space to the Democratic show that the Kansas press allotted to the Republican show. Moreover, the news was not colored."
More relative to University interest, the Gezette continues with its second point: "In this red probe, the entire daily press of the state, with the one sad, lone, sore and sorry exception of the Independence Reporter, took the ground that there was no red propaganda at the University. They stood by the institution four-square without flinching."
"... Probably in all the Union," says the Gazette, "there is not a daily press that would so unanimously stand up for the right, fight for it—and incidentally win—as the Kansas press has united to win in this red propaganda fight.
"These papers are headed by men who stand well in their own towns. They are making as much money as the town banker. They have as much leadership as the town preacher. They feel their responsibility as much as the town teacher. They take no subsidies for opinion. You couldn't buy, brow-beat or fool them. They are a credit to the state. Whatever leadership the Kansas Press has—daily and weekly—is fairly earned."
The press, we might add, usually reflects the temper and quality of the people it serves. And so, with double-emphasis, we repeat "Kansas has much to be proud of in her press."
The Emnoria Weekly Gazette, March 3:
The Red Probe
The Kansas Senate has killed by a rather decisive vote the House measure to start a red inquisition at Kansas University. The Senate members heard all the evidence the House committee had and laughed at it. It was the complaint of the House members who were pushing the red probe that the students "laughed at it." As a matter of fact, most members of the committee appointed by the regents to investigate these same charges, laughed at them. They were essentially trivial charges, ex parte facts which, when fitted into other facts produced an entirely different picture of the truth.
Nevertheless and howsomever, Kansas is entitled to a formal report from the committee appointed by the regents to investigate these charges against the University. The Chancellor, when the charges were first made, thoroughly went into the matter and investigated it and found them without foundation. Then came the regent's committee. They went into the whole matter. It is not true that any one refused to testify, that any obstructions were made for the regents' committee. That committee has the facts. It should report. The University should demand it.
A Plan To Promote Youth Employment
Charges such as those made in the Kansas House of Representatives leave a scar on an institution unless they are refuted. The whole matter should be aired. The regent's committee has the matter in hand. They should open their hands and show them and tell people exactly what is the status of the red scare at the University. Evidently, considering the fact that the Senate committee heard the evidence presented by the House committee and that the regent's committee heard the same evidence, and considering that neither the Senate committee nor the regents' committee got excited, no serious condition exists at Lawrence about which anyone should get excited. But the people of Kansas who maintain the University are entitled to the facts, all the facts set in some relation to the truth. The quicker the regents' committee reports, the better it will be for the University.
A nation-wide employment bureau for post-school young people under 30 is the ultimate aim of a bill introduced into Congress by Representative Clason of Massachusetts. The bill calls for the establishment of a Federal Youth Service.
If enacted into law, information centers would be set up in the various states to collect
and distribute data about "occupational possibilities" to youths who have finished school. Placement services would be maintained, and training, educational and apprenticeship facilities would be made available to young people.
Such a program mainly in the dream stage would certainly be a boon to thousands of high school and college seniors worrying about the imminent necessity of job-finding. It would eliminate many of the haphazard features of the present unpredictable system.
The plan is probably too far ahead of its time to permit any possibility of passage. It is unlikely that Congress will take on extra appropriations not insuring immediate relief of unemployment while the budget is definitely on the red side of the ledger.
But it is conceivable a plan for the future. "Rugged individuals" may object but even "rugged individualists" sometimes are in need of assistance.
Campus Opinion
A Bouquet for the Union Cafeteria
Editor, Daily Kansan:
Strange as it seems (with apologies to Ripley) we want to commend our Union building and cafeteria management by way of comparison with that of our state, Nix Six school, Iowa State.
Recently we had the privilege of spending three days of a debate trip on the Iowa State campus, and, while the hospitality extended to us was most cordial in every respect, we were only too thankful that our staff were there.
We took lunch in the Oak room of their Union and we found, much to our surprise, a handful of students, a sprinkling of faculty members and the kitchen staff. We then provided the explanation: ham and eggs, potatoes, a salad, one roll and coffee - 60; special steak, french salad, one roll, pie and coffee - 59; pock sandwich.
Slightly dumbbelled at these exorbitant prices and with our host's pocketbook in mind, we then visited the Union's café馆 where the same appalling prices prevailed: baked ham and pork tenderloin on a pan of pancakes, saffron-wrapped potatoes pass those on the 30 tunes in our University café馆 and the same could be said for its quality.
In an attempt to lower our host's hotel bill, we requested a quarter of the union. The answer: $3.50 per day for meals and lodging.
Our interesting incidental survey was concluded when a student informed us that Iowa State students paid more toward their Union fund than Kansas University students navy for their yearly activities.
While it is no reflection on the Iowa State Union to say that the University prices are 50 per cent lower, we're glad we attend a school where we don't have to spend a dime for each coke. J. D. S. and O. G. V.
Editor, Daily Kansan:
How About It?
Golden basketballts from will dangle from the watch fobs of dayhawk squadmen as another basketball season fades into oblivion. To some this as a great triumph, but personally I can't see a let to crow about. True enough. But what kind of competition has this been? a few conference games and a little "one-hour" competition that actually stinks. I wouldn't be surprised if "Phog" starts playing high schools. If we continue to book these smaller schools, it might be better to leave the Big Six and join a small college
The old line is often heard. "Well play the ikee smaller schools for practice, then we'll be prepared for the Big Six race. Let us try to win several games with Baker. In the first game we came out on the short end of the score and only managed to eke out a narrow victory over our opponent. We learned coaching element, but to most of us the results appeared plenty cheesy. One defeat at the hand of an underdog loops up much larger than a hundred small
We boast of our teams, but outside of the competition already mentioned, how do we know our teams rank so high? The practice of rating by means of comparative scores means very little to me. I was in Minnesota and we fed Nebraska, so that makes us better than any Big Ten team." This was popular in football season, and lately I have heard the same logic regarding our basketball team. It means that every student body would not regret a few games lost if only occasionally we could play some schools of national recognition. In football Nebraska is ranked nationally—not because they stuck to Big Six competition and not because student body would not regret Pittsburgh. I desire herewith to raise my voice in a great show for a shakeup in our present competition of competition.

Indian Dioramas Depict Early Life on Kansas Plains
By Dorothy Weingart
Domes of plaster of paris here; a pile of old looking tools there; rows of tiny Indian hunters aiming deadly appearing arrows from shelves and tedders; bears' ckl and even a dinosaur? Endow all this with the fresh, earthy smell of clay and you have some notion of the work shop of Bill Campbell.
Re Dorothy Weingartner, c'38
Dioramas His Specialty
BILL's workshop, now, is in the basement of a large cement house located at 638 New Hampshire street. The first floor of the building contains the Lawrence WPA nursery school and the second and third floor rooms are used for WPA sewing projects.
Bill's specialty is diorama. Some of the diorama work of Bernard "Poce" Frazier, 29, sculptor, inspired his interest in this type of modelling. He worked for some time with Mr. Frazier, then launched on a project of his own. Last summer he submitted dioric agricultural exhibits at Topeka and Hutchinson fairs. Working through the Farm Bureau of Wyandotte county, he visited the county object exhibit. He was re-valued with $250 in prize money. The prize winning exhibits dealt with terracing and the values of form improvement methods.
At the present time Bill and Mr. Frazier are working together on a series of Indian dioramas presenting scenes from early Indian life on the plains of what is now Kansas. Thus we have to work with the Chaymee, and the Osu tribes, but now they are working on a series that will include the Pawnee, Comanche, a d and Arapahi tribes. Each tribe is shown in some different phase of Indian life, such as dancing, living, dancing, and pattern-making.
The Kansa tribe, from which the state of Kansas received its name, is represented in a colorful harvest scene. The squaws are just bringing in the fruits - pumkins and such - of a long summer's work. The main village of the Kansa Indians was located about two miles east of Manhattan, their settlement, for some miles along the Kaw river, including the territory now occupied by Lawrence.

But more charming still is the buffalo hunt of the Cheyennes. The Cheyenne Indians occupied the western half of Kansas and were a typical nomadic hunting group. Two large size American blond predates in this drier landscape, and the background. The scene is so real that the delicate fronds of a little plains-flower, in the path of the stamped beasts,
Six of each type of diorama are being made. The finished products will be distributed to museums throughout Kansas.
Bill plans to proceed alone with diorama modelling sometime in the near future. He may shift from Indian to dinosaurian subject matter. He is, in fact, already making a dinosaur triceratops model. The museum will probably deal about 6% inches tall. The Dyche museum collection contains a head skeleton of this particular type of reptile. The specimen was discovered in western Kansas by an expedition of University students. Barmum Brown, curator of fossil reptiles of the American Museum of Natural History, next Wednesday evening in Hoch auditorium on "A New Dinosaur Kingdom," will deal in part with this special triceratops type.

Bill likes his work very much; he spends long hours with his modeling tools and plastic materials. Watching his skillful painting and d shaping inspires the most impassioned artists to try his own hand at squeezing some form out of a lump of clay. For some time Bill was employed regularly as a labeler in Watson library. But he left that position to devote more time to his art. Certainly with such a successful hacker of exposes he deserves to make himself known in artistic fields.

To Sing Three Groups
Continued from page 1.
The quartet was forced to undergo a change in personnel only a few days ago when the first tenor, Bill Everitt, b'uncl, decided that he would be unable to take the trip. Search was made for another tenor and Art Wolt, c39, consented to take this role. We then worked together practicing diligently and now has its numbers worked up into concert form.
The scene: the Dean's front lawn
The plot: the Dean's daughter sends notes to four young swains asking them to semenate her. They arrive, all on the same night by accident, end do their singing. The sketch ends in a musical free-for-all. The denouement: the women send what they brandishing a mugplant, appears in a night-shirt.

AT THE GRANADA
Robert Taylor as the smalltown American college boy who wins a scholarship at Oxford and is forced to face customs and traditions in sharp contrast to those he has known at home. This is the role he plays in "A Yank at Oxford," the widely-heralded picture against an upbeat, contemporary musical that shows the woman in Canada Theatre today. Maureen O'Sullivan has the feminine lion and Luel Barrymore has a major role as Taylor's father.
AT THE DICKINSON
Glossy Swarthout's situation is domestic in more ways than one in her new comedy with John Bales and John Barrmore, "Romance in the Dairy," now at the Dickinson Theatre. To get herself listened to, she has written a famous star, who turns her into a tike celebrity for her final success.
