PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS Comment WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1937 Chip In Your Bit today marks the first day of the appearance of the "Russell Kelly Reward Fund" boxes. The Kansan does not expect large individual contributions in these boxes. They are for the small change you feel you wish to contribute in memory of a fellow student. For, even if the money does not accomplish the purpose for which it is intended—that of helping bring a killer to justice—it will be left as a student loan or scholarship fund in Russell Kelly's name. Those who feel they are able to subscribe to a greater extent, whose money will be returned if it is not used, can leave their contributions at the bursar's office. They too can "chip in" the small boxes, thus assuring themselves that they have contributed to the fullest possible extent. If the reward accomplishes its purpose and is claimed, then the contributors can feel that they have helped partially to rectify a great wrong. Have You Got Anv Witches? Like the witch burnings of three centuries ago, the trial surrendered nothing, and "Aunt Jane" turned out to be just another wizened old woman in the checkered apron of the Virginia hills. . . Thus concluded charges and countercharges of witchcraft in a Virginia courtroom. And like the witch hunts of three centuries ago, the "red" scare in the University has proved nothing, with the possible exception that human nature is little different from that of three centuries ago. Agencies interested in stirring up and exciting human emotion created an hysteria. The witch has been brought to trial, the "red" situation has been scrutinized. The witch has been discovered to be just a little old lady in a checkered apron shed of the mystery of her hills and the excited whispers of her neighbors. The "Red Menace," shed of exaggeration, misrepresentation, and an unintelligent emotional response to such, has revealed, at the most, a group of ordinary persons just a little to the left of the rest of us. And like the witch burnings of three centuries ago, it settled nothing. . . We Should Be Next The University of Colorado is erecting a large dormitory on the campus. Following the lead of other progressive schools, Colorado is intent upon seeing that her students are properly housed, fed, amused, and kept healthy. The University of Kansas has blueprints of the finished Campus here. On these blueprints are dormitory sites. Yet nothing has been said about plans for building or even establishing funds to provide for them in the future. The students want dormitories, and better living conditions. The administration of the University realizes the need and desirability of a planned housing program which would eventually provide for school-owned dormitories. Just after the war the University did have a building program. This plan lasted for ten years and at the end of the program all agitation for further building expired. But those ten years saw the rise of Corbin hall and Snow hall. The students lobbied with the faculty and they got what they went after. There are more students at the University of Kansas today and the need for a new building program is great. Call Call It "Fate" Fate is like that. Once notorious for its traffic fatalities, Kansas City, Mo., in recent years has become a leader in the safety movement. Its planned campaign to prevent motor car deaths has achieved the success it deserves. Last week all traffic was halted for one minute to celebrate a year—just completed—in which no child had died from traffic injuries. Perhaps influenced partly by her fine efforts toward safety, the National Safety Council chose Kansas City as the locale for this year's safety convention. safety construction The big meeting was to open Monday. The remarkable child safety record made a grand curtain-raiser. Everything was set. And then—four men died Monday, in Kansas City, in motor car accidents. Fate is like that. A Basis For Action Figures gained in the unemployment survey now being attempted might well be put to a much more far-reaching result, as well as filling the immediate need for such information. Part of a national technological survey now dealing with the possibility of a planned application and use of the various new inventions designed to cut down labor and speed production. This planning is to the end of eliminating undue unemployment as a result of these revolutionary machines. It would be hard to determine just how much of the present unemployment is due to the lag between technological advancement and comprehensive social and economic planning. But it is an easily recognizable fact that many men are now out of work not because of "a periodic business slump," but because there is no place for them in the present industrial world. A comprehensive survey of inventions now in the embryonic stage that promise to revolutionize the various fields—and there are many of them—might easily be correlated with unemployment figures and a program for preparing young men for the new pursuits. Further and far-sighted planning might also plan for the reduction of hours and adjustment of wage to meet the new conditions. Eliminate the lag between inventive genius and social and economic genius.

Two or three feet of ground had been dug out and a structure of logs with sod covering exceeded above the ground level. An entrance was built to one side and a smoke hole constructed in the center of the roof. Find Nebraska Culture Another prehistoric culture was found which checks with the findings made in Nebraska by Doctor Strong of the Smithsonian Institute. This culture is known simply as the Nebraska culture, and is represented chiefly in the eastern section of that state. An interesting feature is the fact that although the houses in Nebraska were square, those found by this expedition were round. Apparently this Kansas culture illustrates a period of transition. The next step in housing was probably the historic earth lodge of the plains, which was round. Flier It is hoped that funds will be available for continued research. Doctor Euseley and his party hope to continue the study and expand the region to include the southeastern part of the state, where it is felt they should find influences from three great cultural areas—the mound cultures of the east, the southwestern peoples, and the plains region itself. There are many ways to mix, giving to Kansas cultures of a great variety of influences. W. M. CAMPBELL iv. Chuck Alexander, c'38 Bill Cummings, former University student, is visiting in Lawrence this week during a short vacation allowed when transferring from A stage to B stage at Randolph Field, Texas. Cummings entered the army air training July 1, and has pro- grewed rapidly through the stages of training. His flying has gained him a fine reputation in his "dodo" class at Randolph Field. Cadet Cummings will be transferred in February to Kelly场 to specialize in one squadron of the air service. Another student of the University is flying as chief pilot on the airlines. He is Bill Campbell, student in 25-28. He is flying as captain on the eastern leg of the T.W.A. airlines, the route from Kansas City to Newark, N.J. Several students have completed their physical examinations, received their student permit and are starting actual flying instruction in the University Flying Club's Curtis Robin. The plane has just received its new license granted by the department of commerce, which certifies that the ship is in perfect flying condition. Today he is one of the highest rated pilots on the airline. Another Kansan rides high. After Campbell left school he entered the army air reserves and was stationed at Marsh Field, Mich. He then moved to Rockwell Field, Calif., in 1931.
