Comment
At Michigan. Too
Up at the University of Michigan the student publication has started a campaign to initiate training tables in the Big Ten conference. In an effort to get the football players' stand on the move, the Daily contacted most of the members of the squad. Every one of the gridders replied a training table system would help of the way round—morally, physically and spirit ually—Indiana Daily Student.
Four Years Ago
In a comprehensive survey made in 1932, a book store committee of the Men's Student Council discovered these facts:
That in the eight years previous to the survey, the co-operative at the University of Missouri had repaid its student purchasers from twelve to fourteen per cent of their expenditures for books.
That Princeton, Vassar, and Harvard stores were allowing a minimum ten per cent rebate in the form of yearly dividends to their customers.
That in 1930 the University of Washington store returned ten thousand dollars of the money students had spent on purchases.
That the University of Georgia store had reduced the cost of school supplies up to twenty per cent.
That the stores at the University of Indiana which has a few hundred more student than our University, had saved its students one hundred twenty-six thousand dollars in eight years, at the same time giving seventy thousand dollars to school projects.
All this was discovered in 1932, but the University of Kansas still lacks a co-operative book store.
Editorializing on religious questions has always been the pet bugaboo of newspaper editors. However, it occasionally becomes necessary to speak on such a subject if only to restore mental and intelligence to public life.
Plain Talk
From Detroit, 'stamping ground of Father Coughlin, comes the news that Bishop Michael J. Gallagher has called on the inhabitants to rise against a forthcoming Red Terror. We could dismiss this as a silly nightmare were it not for the fact that such talk is dangerous and unhealthy.
There is no Communist menace in America or over the world; all German-Nazi pacts and Bishop Gallagher's statements to the contrary. The Comintern has never been at a low ebb of influence. However, there are many liberals in America whom some interests have found it useful to label as Communists. At different times Mayor La Guardia, Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt, Jane Addams, and others, have been labelled as such. For precisely such reasons we object to inciting talk.
The Catholic Church the world over is seriously worried about the Communist menace. It has taken some garbled stories emanating from Spain and has twisted them into horrible tales of wholesale massacre, as example of the danger threatening the world. However, it should be reminded that there are serious doubts about how fairly and honestly the Catholic Church carried out its job of ministering to the pope's intellectual and spiritual needs under the Spanish monarchy. After a thousand years of Christianity in Spain, the 1931 revolt found more than three-fifths of the people illiterate.
The Catholic Church instead of screening about non-existent Communists should look to its own backyard. Why is it in such disfavor in the democratic nations of the world? Where people have been free, Catholicism has suffered.
The church should remember that it, like the Communists, is in the minority in America. Once before, in the 1920s it was learned what persecution meant. Today it could do much better than start a campaign to persecute another powerful minority—American progressivism.
Surprise Conclusion
The bird collection which once occupied Dyche museum is one of the most extensive in the country.
The museum of vertebrate paleontology offers excellent material for research work in the anatomy and phylogeny of extinct vertebrate life.
There is a 7,000 piece collection taken from

an Indian village site in Kansas, and includes one of the two known estuates covers.
There are 6,500 skins of mammals representing about 650 species. Skeletons and skulls are there, too.
There is also a locked door at Dyche museum, and if they keep it locked much longer it will be worth putting in a collection.
The Senator Is Right
Of the 675 radio stations authorized to broadcast, over 180 are owned wholly or in part by newspaper interests. So declared Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana who is contemplating instigating legislation which will attempt to divorce newspaper interests from radio.
"There is a growing tendency for newspapers to own and operate radio stations," the senator declares. "Thus in hundreds of communities where a single newspaper owns or controls the local radio station, both the advertisers and the public are at a disadvantage. The newspaper and the radio station will publish or broadcast whatever the operator provides, regardless whether it is in accord with the public needs and interests."
Regarding whether such legislation might not lead to the complete government control of radio, the senator said: "If Congress or some federal agency fails to take steps to halt the monopolistic tendencies of both radio and press, and radio itself, the people themselves will someday demand the end of these monopolies, and full government control. I am in favor of doing something now that will avoid either of these conditions."
The senator is right. There is little sense in allowing the newspapers to control the other great means of communication when they have already done a pretty poor job on the newspapers themselves. Hearst is now the largest newspaper operator of radio stations, and few will maintain that this is for the best. Combine this with the fact that he owns more newspapers in the United States than any other person, and it is easily seen that it is possible for Hearst to wield far too much power than is for the best interests of the country.
May the senator put his words into action.

Editor Daily Kansan:
It seems that the Kansan is not the only paper which believes the hunting season on Dr. F. C. Allen is full open. Following is a question posed by Mr. D. writing in the Burlingane Enterprise-Chronicle:
"By the way, after the disastrous '36 season, just how much longer are K.U. at home, given that he now has a Ploy."

Southeastern Conference Comes Out Openly for Subsidzation
By Mildred Mikellse, c. 137
The fact that the problem of sub-suhiding authors is causing minor uprouts in certain circles, at least in some cases, is not uncommon. If not the reality, is coming more and more into the open.
Bv. Mildred Mikesell. c'37
The Southeastern Conference, which includes Florida, Georgia, and surrounding states, recently took a big step when it decided to subsidize its athletes, in a very mild form of course, and added the scholarship "discount." The conference decided not to try to conceal the fact that it will give athletes food and shelter in return for the work they do in the interest of the University. The Southeasterners, as a result of such progressive action, have not taken takks and many comment from other "unlustful" conferences.
Big Ten Against It
Professor Robert L. Reynolds of the University of Wisconsin, recently proposed a plan for a training table to the faculty committee of the Big Ten Conference. He proposed to provide a six weeks' summer institute for outstanding graduates of Wisconsin high schools whose records in scholarship and athletic competitions would be outstanding students in college. At the end of the duration of the institute, these boys would be ranked for sports and scholastic ability and then, so far as funds would be available, would receive a full scholarship for the four years. Sponsors of the plan claim it would aid students in scholastic ability and diversity with other students. Such a remuneration is not a payment for services, sponsors content, but simply a refund for time spent in athletics for the university—time which otherwise might be employed to earn money.

A discussion of the problem was also avoided last weekend at the Big Six Conference meeting. The only mention of it was in answer to a newspaper who asked members of the athletic opinion on the matter. The majority of the members were hostile to the thought of subsidizing athletics. Dr. W. W. Davis, Big Six representative of the Athletic Board from KU, predicts that no action will be taken on the master for some time.

Ladies . . we anticipate your visit because we've anticipated your needs.
If there are 50,000 gift buyers in the city, $80\%$ of them are women . . . and $50\%$ of every dollar that leaves a lady's stocking eventually finds its way into a man's.
Betty Cos, c. 37: "Since many of our parents disapprove of Sunday dancing, we surely can refrain from doing that one thing for them."
Frank Allen, 138. "Why don't people get over the old idea that to dance in Sunday is wrong?" It is no worse to dance on Sunday than to go to showings or anything else. I think they should we also be allowed to dance."
