UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XXXIV Kansas Solons Approve School Appropriations Republican Majority Pass Bill Over Protest Of Minority Leaders The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas The Kansas house yesterday approved the appropriations bill for state educational institutions recommended by the senate ways and means committee. Approval of the bill was forced by the Republican majority over the protests of Minority Floor Leader Dubus that disregarding the recommendation of the state budget and the principle of budgetary government. Half of the $100,000 needed for the connecting corridor at the University of Kansas hospital and $250,000 of the $450,000 needed for the higher science building at Kansas State College were included in the totals. The bill contains a provision for the completion of the hospital corridor by 1938 and the Kansas State College science building by 1939. Governor Huxman previously vetoed these provisions out of a senate appropriations bill. on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris One of the better known professor in the School of Business was commending to an economics class on the over-population situation. He remarked that Russia had the best method for taking care of the situation in her country, simply by going out and cutting off the people's head with a knife. The United States hadn't perfected any method as yet, but that they needn't worry too much because the "jeep"would probably take care of the situation. + + + Several of the Phi Gams were going to the city the other night to lice Fred Waring, and Ann Hubbard to the Phi Pi house was to be included in the party. She was called for at 7:30, but was not ready to leave until 8:15. The next morning it cita it too late for Waring's performance, all because of Hubbard? --- Elmer Humphry, who continues to spend his afternoons playing conscientious snooker, is reported as consistently losing, which generally occurs on the table or slammed on the floor. Yesterday his tactics were indeed reversed (except for the cue's going to the floor) because he had a partner who made a winning shot—Humphry threw the cue to the floor, embraced Tom Martin, the partner, and spoke to Mr. Martin right on the cheek. It's being done, but seldom to two men in the same fraternity. The reference is to Lucille Bottom, Kappa, who recently had her first date of the evening, Jack Richardson, take her home at 9:45 so that she could have her second date of the evening with the second Sigma Chi, Seewell Black. Last Tuesday evening the Gamma Phi's rallied round to listen to a lecture on health—it came time for questions and two of the more attentive listeners reacted-Virginia Taylor: "I'm going to have a tooth pulled to tomorrow and I'm going to take gas, you support it will hurt!" Maxine Laughlin: "Does it hurt your ears when I brush with soap?" It is said that the letter was rather stumped when asked such vital questions. Mind Menderinges: Beautiful day ...

Pace chapter of Remarkable and Commendable Remarkable and commendable, but not startling, has been the co-operation of the two Hill political parties in making possible several radical changes in the system of men's student government.—Remarkable and commendable because both parties have felt simultaneously and equally strongly that student government needs to be put on a better basis and because they have been willing to act co-operatively on the issues.—Not startling because men's student government very definitely needs to be revamped, and if it's not revamped now, it'll have to be very shortly. There seems little reason to believe that the revision of men's government as suggested will not within a day or two be finally accepted by both parties. Its passage through the Council is only a procedural measure. In the Kansan's opinion all that can be asked more is a shortened campaign period which would heighten interest in politics and make inelegibilities and low grades for office contenders less of a possibility. Police Raid P.S.G.L. ACCEPTS GOVERNMENT PLAN Editorial Comment Pachacamac Party Will Deliberate Program For Revision of Politics Tonight. It Approved, Council Will Vote Following Easter Vacation. Both Parties Are Co-operating in Formulation By Morris M. Thompson, c'unci UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LAWRENCE, KANSAS Wellsville Globe P. S.G.L. accepted the plan for reorganization of men's student government in a meeting Sunday night. The Pachacamacs referred it to a committee of seven inner-circle members for further deliberation, and the report of that committee will be submitted to the party as a whole at a meeting tonight. We hope the Globe will pardon the delay in answering the editorial concerning the operation of the University Daily Kansan, but we had to count up to 10 before, as the saying goes, "We could trust ourselves to speak." Pachacamae, it was understood, favored the plan, but the committee was formed to deliberate on a few minor points. It is generally believed that the party will accept the plan with few challenges and that it will be It is rather peculiar that a newspaper man should suggest censorship of the press. No one knows better than an editor who keeps himself informed about international affairs, what censorship of the press has meant to Germany, Italy, and Russia. In this case, it seems to boil down to whose press is under discussion. The editor of the Wellsville globe would probably be in a towering rage if anyone should come in and tell him how to run his paper. He would rave to high heaven about freedom of the press invoking the deities from Peter Zenger on down. One more or less academic point which should be cleared up is the misunderstanding regarding Mr. Hearst. The Globe, in speaking of the output of the "half baked reds" says that "Hearst might use some of it---" We beg to state that Mr. Hearst has proclaimed in three inch type his hatred of Communism, Socialism, and allied subjects. And surely you recall his "Save America" campaign prior to the last election in which he informed the voters that life would be on earth if they didn't vote Republican. No, if our editors are as red as the Globe pictures them they could never appear in Hearst's columns. But this is no reason to call them "half baked reds," or even to apply the more polite terms of Socialist or Communist. But this is aside from the main issue which concerns the censorship of the Daily Kansan. The students who write the editorsial for this paper are vitally interested in the problems which face the world today. They are a new generation with more advanced ideas concerning society than is held by their elders. This has been true of every new generation. If it were not so, the world would make no progress. 4. An adequate building program, including: a. Construction of a medical science building. The editor of the Wellsville Globe is, like many of his generation, living in the pre-War era. We feel sorry for him. War used to be sort of a military football game. Nations would groom a comparatively small proportion of their men, send them off some place for a battle and set back to hear the news of their victories or defeats. If they won, they got an island, a little brown jug, a gold football or something, and forgot about fighting for a few years. If they lost, they got a new general, or coach, and said in effect, "We'll have a better team next year." But not so today, we've learned that those better teams do happen. We've left too many healthy men and women at home in the past to rear children for future armies. We don't care so much about the armies now. Chances are the soldiers' go mad in the trenches, or we can kill off with liquid fire and gasses. We're The Kansan Platform What Price Civilization 5. Addition to the stacks of the library. Reservation of faculty and employee salaries. 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2. Well-trained of student working conditions. 3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore concerned with those healthy women back home who are capable of bearing a new nation. We must creep into their homes and drive them mad with radio reports that all their loved ones have been killed. We'll ruin their lungs with gas. we'll keep them terrified with air raids—we won't drop many bombs, mind you, because that cost too much, but they'll kill themselves from fear, or be driven hopelessly insane. Then, if we have a nation left at home, we'll build a new civilization, indeed. Campus Opinion The Kansan has recently received a number of interesting campus opinions which it is unable to print because the senders neglected to sign their names. The Kansan will withhold names on request, but they must appear on the letter. Anonymous communications are destroyed. Also, there is a 200 word limit on the letters which has been disregarded of late. The Kansan reserves the right to cut these letters to fit the requirements. Religion Is Defended SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 1937 Did you read those lines in Thursday's Kansan by the chap who told why he joined a church when he was in high school? A plenty slack stump, huh? Just as easy as joining a social fraternity or business men's dinner club—except in this case his reason for join- ing was to "cook" one with the preacher's daughter. Some joke, that! But you don't think he aceriously considered himself a Christian, do you? And he couldn't have meant he implied he made learning free through him. He implied the great art of the fields of science, medicine, invention and philosophy who were reared in the church and given every opportunity to be only a few with whom he undoubtedly is familiar. Louis Pasteur who developed the microbe idea and pasteurization—certainly a revolution of medicine and science. Lavoisier, "the father of modern chemistry," Procter and Gamble, 1893. He invented Kepler, formulator of Kepler's laws of motion of the planets; Copernicus, who kicked over the traces of his discoveries at the center of the universe, another victory for free thought in invented the wireless telegraph and is alive today. Other famous men whose work bears their names: Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, And in history and philosophy what of the super- creation of thinking of Hilleaire Bellon and Gilbert Chesterton?

A CORNER ON BOOKS By Gail Van Mere By Cian Van van bere Look Away! : A Dixie Notebook, by James H. Street, Viking Press, N. Y. 1936. 241 pages. "Aunt Mattie, a flabby old Negro nurse womened me through childhood and amused me with bedtime stories of her adventures as a slave and as a voooooman." Maybe these are bedtime stories to a youth of the South but they are fetching sketches to a Northerner. Do you know how Dickie got its name? Did you ever hear of the Free State of Jones which seceded from Mississippi rather than fight on the side of slave owners? Traditional tales arose from such and other incidents. Voiced from planets, people, events, and superstitions have gained the colorful reality fit for a journalist's ten. James H. Street began reporting for the Laurel (Mississippi) Daily Leader in his home town when he was 14. After his college days he began his serious newspaper work in 1927 and it has taken him from Texas to South Carolina. He has worked in every large city of the South, and was on the ground when Of America and for America are these stories, colloquial, provincial in tone, yet national in appeal.
