If and When The Forums Series
An opportunity to attain a broader picture of the world we live in and a better perspective on life is offered by our Student Forum Series. The Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association sponsor this series, which is dedicated to the treatment of controversial issues, issues which are important to us as students and as citizens, issues which are usually ignored in our newpapers a nd classrooms.
The Student Forums Series, if it offers a constructive and progressive program, can do much to destroy this "No Man's Land" of college education, or it can become a pawn for platitudes clothes in academic pedanticism.
Count Categories In Unemployment Census
Cotton picking time in Georgia has brought forth several episodes which clinch the croakings of New Deal critics of government extravagance.
WPA workers are refusing to desert their jobs to meet the present crop emergency. Transferred from a federal road project to employment in cotton fields last week, they went "on strike" against farming at the prevailing wages.
At Okemah, Okla., the sheriff has threatened to throw loiterers, some of them part-time relief men, into jail if they refuse to pick cotton. If they're able to work on relief, they're able to pick cotton, the sheriff says.
This situation has been paralleled in other parts of the country. It merely intensifies the growing need for new and detailed figures upon unemployment. Information should be made available concerning the various degrees of unemployed and unemployable.
There are all shades of unemployed, from the desperately needy, willing-to-work common laborer to the dependents who could "use" work but are in no great hurry to find it. There are all shades of unemployables, from the physically disabled for whom special occupations and training must be provided, to those who definitely won't work.
Argument that the census figures would be inaccurate a short time after they have been taken may be justifiable, but any figures nearly approaching the truth are necessary to the intelligent expenditure of the new relief appropriation. The regular national census is used year after year as a basis for far more prodigious undertakings.
"Let's count them," but insist upon special attention for the wide and diversified qualifications of the term "unemployed."

See You There
"K. U. supporters are smiling again this year, and gloom clouds have cleared from Mount Oread. Of course, no one expects Kansas to have a championship team this year, but signs of improvement are in the air and on the gridiron," so write the sport dopersets of the Kansas situation in the football setup.
Last year when the clouds were the darkest, after a miserable season, a campaign culminated in a change in the athletic organization here. That new organization has justified the change, the efforts of those who worked for re-organization.
True, no football games have been won. In all probability, many games will be lost. The reward, then, lies not in immediate athletic victories, but in the new spirit and the new energy being displayed. The coaching staff has been enlarged until it compares favorably with those of other schools on the schedule. More athletes have been attracted by the awakened spirit, and prospects are for many seasons of increasing athletic prosperity for the University.
Saturday the varsity meets the freshman team and supporters will have an opportunity to size up the material. Catch the new Kansas athletic spirit and attend the game.
Defend to the End
The Right to Say I
"Defenders of liberty," and the man on the street are busy these days bemoaning the spread of Nazism in these United States. No reliable figures have been published on the extent of that poisonous spread, but it is an established fact that Nazi propagandists are at work in this country and that organizations of pro-Nazis have been formed.
Those who so fear the invasion of our country by this movement spend one paragraph or one minute extolling the great blessings of freedom of speech and press in this country and the next paragraph or minute calling for investigation and merciless suppression of all Nazi activity.
This is a paradox at best. Of the 130 million
persons in the United States, there will always be a few who will fall for any movement, who will listen to any soap box orator, or sympathize with any secret agitator. But they fall in the same class with wide-mouth side show suckers who become victims of confidence men.
Freedom of speech and press are indeed a blessing. But if we are frightened by the activities of minority groups we have no right to freedom of expression.
If we are fearful of minorities we deny the proposition that democracy is worthwhile and is actually on our way out. Why not use our freedom to counteract the authoritarian movements that would presume to take our freedom from us?
Campus Opinion
Senior. No Doubt
Editor Daily Kansan:
In the course of University life there appears now and then a bit of enlightenment that may cause the burden of that downrotten group known as Freshmen Upon the University scene this year has come a little further. To be sure, it is important for their entrance into the social life of the University. In two hundred and fifty words it would be impossible to do justice to this little freshet of wisdom, so it must be treated with only pasing affection.
The K.U. Freshman's Bible! Freesmain, it is yours for the asking. It is indeed refreshing to note that diminishing the ability to sing a subtle and persuasive manner that even dear Emily would have to blush. Its stimulating advice about what to wear on a date is most revealing. Now this wee little paragon of campus social policy has been taught in school, emphatically that a suit must always be worn on a date. To the unsuspecting Freshman this may seem easy, but when you are going to be done on a date. But it is the goopel because the Owl Society tells you so. It has been some time since overwhelmed were the soiled you must put these aside for the time being. (Providing you were bold enough
The little booklet does not stop with what to wear on a date but goes on to tell the mode of attire for most occasions. For example, that in the "strictest sense of the word formal attire means tails." However, the bible is willing to make an exception, that "*a tuxedo* is equally acceptable when a tie is worn, if they are about a pipe or smoking tobacco. B. C.

Aged Chemistry Building Houses Many New Features
By. Jack McCarty. c'38
The date, 1900, directly above the door of the Chemistry building has always suggested to this writer a sense of the antiquated and the outmoded. A易 semester's struggle with Chem. I on the second Floor of the building. A wide evidence of anything modern in laboratory or classroom facilities. However, a visit to the extreme west portion of the basement of this same hall with the 1900 on the facade was enough to indicate that the musty classroom and laboratory on the secondextreme west corner of the entire building.
That section of the Chemistry building devoted to the department of chemical engineering gives to the lay visitor a sense of newness and excitement, and trust to the rest of the hall. Concrete floors, three levels of them, white brick walls and a maze of odd looking tanks, pumps, pipes and spigots give the visitor a real sense of bewilderment. The sensation was exhilarating. Details of the project were explained by Associate Prof. T. H. Marshall.
"Considering that we have grown rom virtually nothing to some 4,000 square feet of floor space and have become the largest department in the School of Engineering, we feel pretty good," was Professor Marshall's comment. "No one outside the department seems to be aware of the requirements been done during the regular school terms. The construction of the laboratory, which involved the removal of floors, installed of steel pillars, which necessitated the jack-up of the building, installing of a reinforced concrete floor were all done during the summers of 1936-37. Mr. Marshall was as proud of his interior rooms as of the main office; he took extravagant to the layman, the locker rooms, the shower room, and the study room with continually changing air (other departments please note) are of almost vital necessity to the students.

Projects Completed by Students
Projects Completed by Students Of exceptional interest was the nature of the laboratory equipment itself. A miniature oil refinery, a chemical laboratory, an evaporator for the study of salt compounds, now in the process of assembly, are projects completed by the students themselves, and their construction may occupy a student's time for the best portion of a semester. For example, the parts of the new蒸发器 are at present installed in laboratories in the university will be entirely in the students' hands.
ADDED SHORT SUBJECTS
Construction details of the new laboratories include the use of trough drains replacing the regular cast iron fittings, an elaborate system of pipe racks giving piping facilities for power lines, compressed air, gas, steam and water. Everything has been so designed that any piece of equipment can be delivered whenever replacement is necessary.
A weird place, this chemical engineering laboratory. Yet out of just such weird places have come such strange things as rayon and dow metal—a material lighter than any heretofore developed, yet with strength enough to be used in airplanes.
Who knows but that the new laboratory in Chemistry building houses some genius who will have his name added to the list of those who have done great things in that same gently aging building.
"ARTISTS and MODELS"
The new underpass in North Lawrence is completed, and awaits construction of the new highway.
Necessary To Amend National Labor Acts
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 21—(UP) - Prophenyess that both the Social Security act and the National Labor Relations act will require substantial amendment before they can be made workable, the committee on labor, employment and social security of the American Bar association should note that it is studying the legislation further with a view toward making detailed recommendations on Association policy.
The request came in the report of the committee to be made at the annual convention of the association to be held have late this month.
Wuther (continued): Generally fair today and Thursday; moon nearly full in extreme west portions, but partly obscured by clouds. Long-distance forecast indefinite, but indicates snow.

Wlb City, Mo. Sept. 21—(UP)—The state public service commission authorized installation of a battery telephone exchange system here replacing the magneto type of instruments.

It comes pretty straight that the members of the Kansas Crime Wave gang are none other than that notorious quintet, "Tommy Gun" Van Cleve, *Slew*, Chambers, "Synph", Seifer, "Gin" (short for Gene) Wyatt, and "Fight Ball" Lewis.

To the public: Seems as though these lads could not take a healthy ribbing in the form of a take-off on their Vassar Sarmur. So when the local campus widow pulled a phony of same, they resorted to brute force in an effort to get retrieved from the gravestone气痕 style they soaked the fair lady with charged water from a seltzer bottle and then filched the trail before she could find a towel.
 BUT CRIME DOES NOT PAY!
 Candi cameramann got at least eight good shots of the kidnapping and the proofs are now in a well-coached safe. The Sour Owl has revised its makeup in the interest of ensuring all the pictures in the first issue. What will these pictures tell? Will the crime be solved and the gang brought to justice? Take it away, Editor Coleman.
We seldom bury our dead, but here is an epitaph just waiting to find a nice cornerstone to eat into. Be, Western Union.
