PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS THURSDAY. JANUARY 21. 1937 1 Comment WE NEED MONEY! The present salary scale at the University of Kansas is the lowest among the state universities in the middle west. The median instructional salaries at the Universities of Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin are from 28.40 to 35.4 per cent greater than the University of Oklahoma.* We need money! All in the schools compete with Kansas for staff members. Washington State College students enjoy more osculation on week-ends than on other days of the week. At least that is what the Associated Press calls it, to take the passion out of "kiss." Week-end Smacks On Sunday the students sneeze. On Monday they stay home with colds. The problem: what were they doing on Friday and Saturday? The college bacteriologist claims they must give a good deal of time to letting the little cold germs slip from lip to lip with great delight. Discounting the theory slightly because Monday is a favorite day for giving tests, hence part of the epidemic, the inevitable conclusion is that the University of Kansas needs more colds. Franco Explains In a short interview with Jay Allen, correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, General France has shed much light on the genesis and purpose of Fascism. General Franco: "Spain had to all intents and purposes become Communist by July." Allen: "What do you mean by Communism?" France: "Oh, strikes, demands for higher wages and all that sort of thing." From an article in the December 10 issue of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry on "Wages in the German Chemical Industry"; Wage rates in the German chemical industry in general continue pegged at the depression lows of 1932. Under National Socialist policies, strikes and disputes between labor and capital regarding wages are prohibited by law, and official wage rates are determined by officials known as labor trustees, whose rulings are final. Wage increases, in spite of steady rise in cost of living, have been generally refused. —N. Y. Post Male workers, skilled and unskilled combined, earned an average of 41.58 marks ($10.19) per working week of 45.5 hours, from which 12.4 per cent was withheld by employers for wage taxes, poll taxes and insurance. The historical mission of Fascism becomes quite clear from these quotations. When capital is unable to resist the power of organized labor as it expresses itself in a democracy, it subsidizes Fascism which sends all those who dream of higher wages and full dinner pail to the concentration camp where they learn to appreciate the new national "idealism." Murder With Impunity Among such things as final exams, important basketball games, and zero weather, Hell Week is drawing near. Freshmen are becoming mildly excited. Some of them are apprehensive, others inwardly determined, and still others cockey and confident, but none of them fully understand just how monotonous, uncomfortable, exhausting, and worthless Hell Week really is. Nor will they understand until they have been through it. And as for those who are determined to go through the week with a do or die spirit, we As for those who think the whole thing is going to be a whole lot of fun, we can only tell them to wait for the time when, with systems upset, they or their pledge brothers grow dizzy and start vomiting the usual brand of Hell Week food, one or two of the weaker fellows finally break under the strain, or when, utterly worn out, they don't know whether they are awake or dreaming. The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded athletic program. 2. Betterment of student working conditions. 4. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore. 4. An adequate building program including: - Building a library. - Library circulation system. a. Reopening of Duchy museum. b. Construction of a medical science building. 4. Addition to the stacks of the library. 5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries. can only offer them our sympathy. They will probably need it. The most lamentable faults of Hell Week, however, do not lie in its trials and tribulations. The pity of the whole matter is that after these freshmen—be they cocky, defiant, or determined—have passed this unnecessary physical test, they follow in their big brothers' footsteps by approving of the system. We believe that eventually all fraternities will have the foresight and courage to break up this cycle and thus put an end to Hell Week. To those more progressive groups that have already done this, we take off our hats; to those others which haven't even dared to discuss the matter thoroughly in their chapter meeting, we can only say that we are sorry for their pledges and their fraternity—Daily Northwestern. Campus Opinion Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kannan. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions on any subject are invited. Editor Daily Kansan: I would like to commend you very highly for the rotogravure section that you have added to your Sunday edition. I think it is very nice looking and also beautiful. Claverie Hidden, Cherryville, Kansas. Editor Daily Kansan; Under the initials of W. R. D., Bill Downs wrote an article in the campus opinion column of January 19 calling the A.S.U. everything from "suavers of widows" to "Heart" and "Tears." The A.S.U. never needed no refutation, but certain misstatements were made which can't be overlooked. 1. The A.S.U. was not organized at KU. during 1. The A.S.U. was not organized in KU, but under the Ethiopian crisis. Therefore, it took no stand. 2. Mr. Downs' accusation that the A.U.S. advocate economic intervention in Spain is unfair. At our recent symposium on Spain the head of the chief pain was that we should continue economic relations with the legally constituted Spanish government. He pointed out that we are actually intervening by shuffling off our economic rights. 3. The A.S.U. has not "like Heart brought atrocy stories." We have no trite slogan about saving civilization. This accusation is sheer fabrication to put it mully. But it doesn't mean that we should not believe (and not all of us do) base our attitude not on atrocity stories but on our conviction that democracy is better for the people than fascism and also that a fascist victory in Spam would bring European clerkage and would likely eventuate against the United States. Finally we would advise Mr. Downs not to hold his breath until the A.S.U. blossoms out with dark colored shirts and cries. "Heil," we unequivocally fight fascism on every front and we venture to say so. "We will be here today, and we are shouting 'Heil' long before we have given up the fight against the Hillers, Frances, and Mussolini." Greg Hines and Samuel Sass. Editor Daily Kansan: Why so many intramurals? Why so many intramurals? Why so many intranational activities increase significantly difficult each year—requiring more outside time away from the class room and extra curricular activities seem to be increasing rapidly. And that brings us around to the If every sport under the sun isn't included in this year's program, we can assume that room will be found for it within a year or two. Dartball, lacrosse, ice hockey, chess and casino are among the passions. Go grab your Edel. It is not my hope to see intramurals completely abolished, but it does look like the program could be adapted for a more realistic setting of fresh air once in a while. Fraternities should the biggest part of the intramurals burden and compete against each other for more space than the Jones' idea. So when Elibel emerges with a new sport or a variation of an old one, fraternity must compete. Intramurals are a splendid thing in their place, but we to stop to wonder if they aren't overstepping their boundaries. A Fraternity Man. Editor Daily Kansan: After all, convoocations are of some value. Good speakers furnish a medium of enlightenment for students as well as giving us a chance to have our thought stimulated. And think, too, of the escape from monotony for the students who are not in a mood to be enlightened. They can find it easier to trust their humanity to steal away to sip a coke or have a late breakfast of coffee and roll and return to their classes fresh and happy. Convocations may be the hone of professional life, but it does seem that the University could afford to have a few more of them than was the practice during the first semester of the present school year. Yes, let's have more convocations. All students benefit—one way or the other—from them. BOOK EXCHANGE. The book exchange will be open for books buying all during the time of final examinations.

Gregg. President. German Exchange Scholar Believes U.S. School Advantage in Social Life "American students have a large advantage over the students of Germany in their social life," says Hans-Ulrich Weiss, German exchange student from Koenigberg, East Prussia. Weis, because he holds master's degrees in both philosophy and law, and is at present working on a doctor's degree, should know wherehe speaks. Because of the fact that there are no coeducational schools in Germany it is impossible for the students to have the social intercourse common to the American students. Neither do they have the social fraternities and securities which we have, nor do they share in these Herr Weiss believes, like the advantage which the American student has over the student in Germany. There are many other differences between the schools here and there, but as to advantages, Herr Wesson doesn't believe our system to be superior. One of the big differences deals with their longer school year of 10½ months. Set courses are given with no alternates offered. When one subject is unanticipated, the teacher. For this reason it is rather unusual for students to finish up their work in the minimum number of years. At the end of the first four years work, at the age of 10 years, the German student makes his choice of profession, and goes into that school. Students wishing to take a general course, with graduate work which corresponds to our college and university courses as a possible goal, stay in what is called the "Foundation school." He then must take nine more years of study, still with no choice as to courses studied. When this is finally completed he undergoes training and six months in a labor camp, all this being compulsory. Then if he chooses he may enroll in a university and take what is called in Germany, graduate study. Longer School Year A painting, "Cloud Shadows," owned by the Spooner-Thayer museum at the University, is being exhibited in New York this month, as part of a tour of the Whitney Museum of American Art. Photographs of two other Winslow Homer water colors owned by the University museum will be included in a century catalogue being auctioned on Wednesday and galleries in New York. Painting Owned by K.U. Museum Is Shown In New York Exhibit The painting, "Cloud Shadows," is a famous marine work of Homer, showing a seaman and a girl talking against a background of seashore. The two water colors are "Conch Shell Gatherers" and "Among the Oakies" they were painted during the winters in Florida and Bermuda. Homer is a naturalist painter, his favorite subjects being heavy seas, American rural life, and tropical scenes. The two water colors are on exhibition in the main gallery of Spooner-Thaver museum on the campus.

Now Thunders from the Screen as the Greatest All Color Film in Motion Picture History! Sub-Title Pest Eradicated by Talkies Says Dr. Blanks Adventure-Romance and the Woman' 'Gods Country GEO. BRENT BEVERLY ROBERTS (By The United Press) THE ROAD SHOW PRESENTATION OF "ROMEO AND JULIET" SOON Berkley, Cal.-The new course at the University of California in the History of Moving Pictures has developed at least one important fact, namely that the "talkies" have moved from being known as "unknown" to the "sub-title reader." First—That he was disturbing all of the rest of the audience. The sub-title reader, Dr. Anthony F. Blanks, who is conducting the study, will be present during the individual during the days of the silent films who insisted on reading the sub-titles aloud. He could be ditturnghed. Dr. Blanks avers, by Second-By the fact that he usually mispronounced all the small words. Third-By the fact that he usually skinned all the big words. Blanks thinks that what developed the sub-title pest of the silent days was the big millinery of the same epoch. The sub-title reader, in an effort to coverte the handsome and charming womans he was in a public audience and unconsciously read aloud. The strain to read the sub-title before it disappeared and before he could make the necessary nuneaues to circumvent the millinery in front of him when off of other aspects of the situation. "By my most fans," Dr. Blanks continued, "they were impressed as being just a degree lower in the social scale than the peanut crusher they are." Dr. Blanks says he is convinced it was purely the talkies that eradicated the sub-title pest for the reason that while he is delivering lectures, he shows silent films at the same time, no one talks except himself.
