It Happened In Pittsburgh
Andrew Mellon is dead but his spirit marches on and the "Pitt News" marches off—at least temporarily. Suppression of the "Pitt News," student publication of the University of Pittsburgh, followed the criticism of the late Andrew Mellon by its senior editor, Robert Saffron.
Said Saffron:
"Now that Mr. Mellon has died, another of the plutocratic oligarchies carved out in the days of the 'robber barons' has entered the honor roll of foundations subsidizing charities, art and education.
"I do not blame Andrew Mellon. He was as much a victim of the system as the poor suckers who contributed to these fortunes."
Unfortunately this attack upon freedom of expression is not an uncommon example of Pittsburgh's method of meeting differences of opinion. In 1927 the University of Pittsburgh's "Liberal Club" held a discussion on the capital-labor war in the Mellon-controlled Pittsburgh coal interests. A university professor, aroused temporarily from his timidity, discussed the Mellon political machine. The result: The "Liberal Club" was banned from the campus and the aforementioned professor paid with his job.
Later a number of professors were denied the privilege of continuing their investigation of labor relations. Several of them resigned to go to Amherst and Wisconsin where academic freedom is more than a meaningless phrase.
Significantly, during this period the board of supervision of the University of Pittsburgh included two Mellons and eleven of their business associates.
Yes, the spirit of Mellon marches on.
Success in life consists of the proper delicate balance between effervescent enthusiasm and cynical disillusionment. . Most of us are found at one extreme or the other.
All He Got Was Custard Pies—
Vittorio Mussolini's much publicized visit to Hollywood to study the cinema industry turned out to be a flop. After two days in the cinema capital 11 Duce's son left suddenly for the East and late last week sailed for his homeland. The great movie merger between young Mussolini and Hal Roach had to be abandoned because of the force of American public opinion.
The most surprising thing about young Mussolini's reception was the coldness wi th which he was received in the film colony. Hollywood, which usually receives with welcome arms each maharijah or viscount that visits the country, turned its back on the son of the Italian dictator.
Evidently the film stars are more aware of the dangers of fascism than are other large groups in America. Hollywood, seeing what happened to the stage and screen in Italy and Germany where art has become only one more cog in the propaganda machine, was taking no chances.
Probably it was not polite to treat the young man as he was treated. He is about as important in the promotion of the fascist theory as "Sistie" Dahl was in the creation of Bonneville Dam. However, young Mussolini takes home to his father, instead of a great movie merger between Hollywood talent and Italian capital, the report that every class in America thoroughly dislikes fascism to the point that they condemn Vittorio for his father's policies.

The proposal of the C.I.O. head John L. Lewis to choose 100 men from the rank and file of his organization to meet with a similar group from the A.F. of L. for the purpose of finding some common basis for action, was received with severe criticism and branded as insincere by A.F. of L.'s president Green. In answer to Lewis, Green pointed to the standing three-man committee for solution of such problems.
Keep the Big Shots Out—
The disadvantages of such a three-man committee epitomize the weakness of the A.F. of L.—a group of this size would be wholly representative of the different views and problems faced by the many unions in both organizations. Such a committee would be appointed by the executive council of the national organization and hence dominated by that council. Lewis' plan, on the other hand, fuses the life-blood of each faction and lessens the possibility.
of friction because of the clash of personalities
because of the class of personalities Green's hesitancy to co-operate in healing the split in American labor seems a complete repudiation of the sincerity of his concern for the prevailing division which is sapponing labor's strength. Ten members from each of the rival unions will fix the number to attend the proposed peace conference. On this peace conference rests the fate of American labor for the next decade. The conference should be one in which all views and opinions on the problems of labor can be fully expressed, a conference untainted by the personal bickering of Lewis and Green.

Some interesting figures have been compiled concerning the high cost of operating automobiles at excessive speeds. It is found that gasoline mileage drops almost fifty p per cent between forty-five and seventy-five miles per hour. Oil consumption soars to seven or eight times what it should be, in the upper speed brackets. Repair bills come larger and more often on cars that are driven at a high rate of speed. Tires will run only a third of the distance at high speed that they will cover at a normal speed.
All convincing, but for the final punch it might also be mentioned that physician and mortician expenses mount in some sort of a proportion with the figures on the speedometer.

School spirit is on the upgrade at KU..l, in evidence of this we offer the osculatory gamble made by Martha Browning, Pii Phile plight. It seems that the wager was made concerning the Kansas-Nebraska game won by Danielson winning a kie at the Friar's Frolie (advc.) if Nebraska wins, and Browning winning one hard sweat at said Frolie if Kansas wins. We forget to mention Danielson gave Browning 30 points for odds!

Gentlemen:-
About eightteen months ago I was forced to quit smoking a pipe because the tarry products in the heel kept me chronically nauseated. Too bad, but it couldn't be worse. Too much miserable time I fired up. So I stayed off tobacco for over a year.

For six happy months, now I've been smoking that Frank's.
