Comment
Peace Has Its Advertiser
"Nice Fresh Babies—79 Cents a Pound". . . Perhaps no other magazine advertising has received more attention and caused more comment than the series of ads for World Peaceways, the most recent of which carried the above caption and pictured the usual talcum-powder baby, cooing on a cleaver-worn meat block.
This advertising may well attract the attention of the public and furnish a topic for comment, for it constitutes a significant trend in two important phases of our modern life—pacifism and advertising.
The series of World Peaceaways advertisements has included such familiar ones as the picture of the proud mother holding her smiling son in the air with the inscription, "To Be Killed in Action," lettered in red across the illustration. The most recent it titled "Family Portrait, 1938," and pictures the conventional family grouping, with a gas mask on each member the most conspicuous part of the picture.
Many of the advertisements have received citations from the Annual Advertising Awards. In 1937 the series received the award for "integrity in copy." This citation lifted World Peaceaways in the public mind from the ranks of a propagandist organization, in the common sense, to an organization for the dissemination of accurate information designed to make the people feel the responsibility for war.
Success of Peaceways' campaign has also added impetus to the growing realization that advertising can be not only an economic and distributive force, but also a force for social good. Modern society is discovering that advertising not only sells bacon and beans and silk, but peace and safety and character as well.
Cafeteria Employees-- Organize
Complaints from employees of Memorial Union cafeteria have been so frequent within the last year that two investigations by the Men's Student Council of wages, hours and laboring conditions have been necessary.
The second investigation has recently been completed by a committee including Phil Raup, Norton Knight, and Harold Rowe with the assistance of Don Voorhees, president of the council. Unquestionably the council's committee has tried to hear both sides of the controversy and to arrive at an impartial decision. Probably the committee has been successful.
At least it is certain that nothing has so far been uncovered to condemn without qualification either the cafeteria management or its employees. So far there are no grounds for stating categorically that the continuing complaints are caused solely by unfair practices on the part of the cafeteria management or solely by the sulky unwillingness of employees to co-operate.
Moreover, the council must relieve itself of time-consuming investigation. It should not in the future undertake an investigation until other methods of reconcilation between the cafeteria management and its employees have been exhausted. When reconciliation fails, then the council is, of course, the only agency to mediate in the dispute—but not until then.
Cafeteria employees, if they continue to feel that their employees are unfair or unjustly discriminatory, should organize and elect representatives to treat with Miss Hermina Zipple, manager of the Memorial Union building. Many difficulties could be settled amicably by representatives of both employees and employers.
If the complaints which have kept recurring within the past year are plain "gripping," an unwillingness to co-operate, or the willful intent of a single employee to sabotage the cafeteria, let the employees' representatives settle these differences without bothering the council or the Memorial Union operating committee.
If there is justice in their cause, their fellow students will support them.
If, however, the employees feel that, despite professions of good faith by the cafeteria management, they are still being discriminated against or that some of their members are being unjustly discharged, let them strike.

The hint has come out of Washington that the President's recent bandy with business has been toward the old spirit in which business, the government, and everyone else was working together, regardless of the individual interest of each group.
True, business men have flocked to the White House and better understandings have been reached as a result of the parleys. True, a revision of the revenue bills has been suggested to lighten the load on business.
Steamship officials are debating the advisability of attempting to float the liner "President Hoover," around on a small island near Japan. Too bad the hulk couldn't have foundered in Potter's lake. What a grand hangout it would make on these nasty days!
Granting that the Utopian situation at one time existed, it seems the administration has gone about the reconciliation in, at least, an unusual manner—that of frightening business into good old-fashioned co-operation with
Maybe it's a good technique—this thing of rightening them into harmony.
We Like A Little Fantasy
After years of short animated cartoons, Walt Disney, proud papa of Mickey Mouse and other zoological offspring, has given birth to an ethereal human youngster in the form of Grimm's immortal "Snow White."
First full-length animated feature attempted by Disney and his staff, Snow White romps charmingly through seven reels of fantasy to the final embrace of the prince charming of whom she has dreamed.
With his charming series of animated paintings, Disney has successfully challenged the Hollywood skeptics who refused to believe that seven reels of fantasy could hold anyone in his seat—for, they said that however provocative, the characters were after all just drawings.
Perhaps in the extreme humanness of these animated drawings lies the charm of the picture, for the little created beings have a delightfulness lacking in modern movie fascinators.

University of Kansas students have been developing their "boarding-house reaches" for some seventy years, and although the food is probably much better now the idea of the thing is essentially the same. The University catalogue in 1883 stated that "by uniting in clubs and boarding themselves, students may reduce expenses one-half." Cutting expenses is still the main objective in a boarding club.

Of course the names used by the clubs then were more bloody than the ones used now. Such blood-curdling applications as "Quinny Street Goumands," "New York Street Mactacators" and the "Tinkers Club" have been denified titles such as "Dunkin Club" and "Tennessee Club."
Even the prices haven't changed much in 70 years. In 1877, eight meals cost between $1.50 and $2.25, while in 1928 the student can eat twice as many meals a week for around $4.00. In 1886 the University Courrier said, "Boarded on the basis only possibly of late with seven in number. Expenses range from $1.50 to $3.50 weekly."

"weaker sex" as in 1895 the first women's club was organized. The club became both a social and financial success, and in its second year it started admitting men also to become the first mixed club on the Hill. The mixed clubs soon became so popular that in 1905 there were no exclusive women's clubs on the Hill.
The largest mixed club at that time numbered 44 men and 12 women; the largest men's club had 60 members. The steward of this hitter club also provided for two other clubs and bought goods at wholesale or a wagonload at a time.
quotes the Kanan on this: "This is possibly a phase in the future, containing hundreds of students and owning its own apple and prune orchards."
One of the most unusual clubs was the German Club founded in 1890, at which only German was a spoken at the table. The club had a weekly shake-up by which each young man got a new companion for a week. The German Club really threw a spring party each year. hiring a steam launch and going on a camping expedition. Another suddenly folded up after 13 years of service when the landlady announced one morning that "there will be no dinner today."
