PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY, APRIL 16 - 1927 1 Comment Lock Your Cars at Night Drivers: A few mornings ago a number of car owners on the campus were started to find that their cars were either missing or wouldn't run. Those among the missing had been parked on hills and had been casted down them by some one. When they were located by the owners it was found that they would not start. There is no place on a University campus for vandalism such as this. We are fairly well accustomed to groups of drunks who serenade sorority houses at appropriate hours and create disturbances about the Hill, but these may be termed part of the college atmosphere, to be borne if not enjoyed. But wanton meddling with other people's property is another thing entirely. Unfortunately it is difficult to apprehend the persons responsible for these acts and nothing can be done with them. The facts indicate, however, that they are college students whose perverted sense of humor leads them to such antics. All that can be done is to warn all car owners: Lock your cars at night. Beware Of Booms, Boys Although that has been accomplished, there is still room for pessimism on the part of those who profess to know what is going on. The Nation, for instance, presents the following analysis of the current rapid rise in commodity prices: Back in the darker depression days a pessimist was defined as "one who knows what is going on." At that time, and almost ever since, hopes have been directed toward getting prices for work, goods and services pushed out of depression doldrums and started on upward paths. "Although rising prices normally act as a stimulant of production and employment, they carry with them fundamental maladjustments. Profits skyrocket more rapidly than prices, and prices rise more rapidly than wages. Salaried employees and others living on a fixed income find their buying power drastically reduced by the advance in the cost of living. The result is that production, spurred by the exceptional profits, tends sooner or later to expand more rapidly than the market, which is dependent on consumer buying power . . ." All of which sounds disturbingly like most of the accepted explanations on how we got into the depression in the first place—through speculation, too rapid expansion, concentration of profits, failure of buying power to become widely disturbed through the mass of the consumer, hence overproduction and underconsumption. It is something about which to think seriously as the apparently incipient boom takes form and momentum. The movie actress who broke into the first-page news by naming President Roosevelt as the world's handsomest man may not be a judge of beauty, but certainly should qualify as a publicity expert—New Orleans Times-Picayume. Kansas Makes The Nazi Press Kansas is the latest to supply fodder for the Nazi press. This time its Der Angriff, and it used the labor clashes at Galena as an excuse to blast American union leaders. The paper declares, after giving minute details of the battle, that union leaders do not hesitate to "fire on the workers." "The attackers wanted to defend themselves against the disastrous consequences of an insensitive incitation to strike," the paper goes on. "This incident, as in many other cases, places in relief the lying egotistic attitude of the union high priests." We could get awfully mad about a thing like this, but since it's only the Nazis again, we'll let it go. We Implore You To Write It, Peggy! The much-married Peggy Hopkins Joye dumbfounded the reportorial committee who met her upon her return from Europe recently. Said she, when it was suggested that she write an autobiography: "It wouldn't be as interesting as you'd think." Imagine the glamourous Peggy belting the American public's love of romance by refusing The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 1. A well-rounded variety athletic program. 2.

Restoration of faculty and employee salaries. to write the intimate details of her life because she believes (maintains) we wouldn't be interested. And to top everything off, the girl told the reporter who asked whether she had a new romance that she thought it "a hell of a question." Now it strikes us that Peggy is being very inconsiderate. Perhaps if she were assured that her autobiography would out sell "Gone With the Wind" (and it seems very likely), she would not be so reticent about the matter. If we know the American public the book would be a sensation. So come on, Peg, old thing, write us the enthralling tale of your romance-bespattered life. We'd appreciate it. Solving The Youth Problem The "youth problem" is very much discussed these days. One hears a lot about "youth's adjustment to social conditions," "youth and vocational guidance," and "youth factor in crime." And at the bottom of the difficulty seems to be the apprenticeship tangle—the problem of persuading employers and labor leaders in major industries to provide opportunities for 500,000 young men and women who are dumped forth on the employment market annually. In the building trades, in printing, and a dozen other skilled fields, overcautious unions have been making the mistake of shutting out young, new members. In a recent survey, made by the New York Post, it was found that an actual shortage of labor exists in the building trades, with 42,000 new workers required each year, and a total of only 6000 on the rolls. In New York a way to solve the problem has been suggested by the Brownell youth commission bill, which provides that a permanent commission, under the governor, would study apprenticeship problems; work out a vocational school problem to co-ordinate with trade requirements and assemble the data needed. The bill is favored by almost all New York welfare organizations, but the first appropriation is only $50,000. Every state in the union needs and could well afford such a bill. If New York takes the lead, it is probable that other states will follow; and while passage of the bill is in itself no solution, from such small beginnings many now large and powerful projects have grown.
