PAGE TWO / UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE.

Joker in the Paycheck For the past week newspapers have carried the encouraging news from an increasing number of companies of wage increases, primarily in the basic industries. The increases, averaging about seven per cent, are the first general payroll boosts since the NRA back in 1933 laid down minimums that made increases rather general. With the illegalizing of the NRA, pay cuts were general. So the recent news caused joy for a while through the industrial areas of America. That is, until union officials began to scan the terms of the wage increases more carefully. And then they found a joker. It seems that should the cost of living decrease, the pay boost would automatically decrease also. What with an increase in the cost of living estimated at 40 per cent having taken place between March, 1933, and August, 1936, according to the conservative National Industrial Conference Board, the pay increase seemed little enough. But the joker in the increase infuriated the workers. So much so that workers in the steel industry, where increases were most general, have not been won away from the Committee for Industrial Organization, but expect it to lead the fight to cut the joker clause out of the increases. That the higher wages were announced to forestall expected demands for increases that would total more than 7 per cent with strikes as the alternative if they weren't met is the most logical explanation of this seemingly unprompted bit of altruism on the part of industry. Many workers argue that a seven per cent increase is little enough. But when they reflect that even this small increase is hedged about with the provision that it fall as the cost of The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2.

Addition to the stacks of the library. 6. Restoration of faculty salaries. They echo the president when he calls for an absolute minimum but for no maximum. For the standard is already low and even a rise in proportion to profits would not be much of an improvement. A promise of increase in line with profit increases is small hope indeed. Profits are almost at their 1929 level today and there is little hope of their rising much. That would keep steel's wages at very little more (seven to fifteen per cent) above the depression levels. And steel workers won't stand for that. Nor will John Lewis. California inmakeeps are circumventing the state law which prohibits the use of signs announcing alcoholic beverages for sale. The old familiar signs now read; Aloon, Aven, Peer, Puffet, Bee Garden and Ocktail Ounge—Freeling Foster in Colliers Weekly. There is a possibility, the Kansas City Times, of a diplomatic rupture between Russia and Italy. Tsh, Tsh. After they've been such good friends, too. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: When I was a freshman home for a vacation, my old man went over my budget with me and we laid a heart to heart with him. He helped me buy a chair from the便宜 of college and then picked the luggage items apart one by one. When he came to the twelve dollars I had spent for texts on my phone, he said that he would need with an education, but they don't cost that much. Then, "My advice to you is to leave blondes alone." The paternal idea was that I shouldn't touch em. Now believe it or not, as a freshman I wasn't or speaking terms with any blonde this side of Olathe. Blonds are blonds and books are books, and weighty observation makes me conclude that the latter cost Which leads to the point. For once the Kansan has hit an idea more important than the golden valley which we are above, and library steps. A few books have been made here, and I have have been made here, as I remember, but none of them at a time when our collective pockets were an empty asyn; now if the cake-outs be the twenties and forty-four, they'll be... So go to it, and here's hoping the councils will get the unpleasant urge to do something useful.

Gevine Landrith Fletcher Henderson Made Swing' Music the Talk of the Nation By Phil Stratton, c'37 and Jean Bailey, c'uncl Fletcher Henderson's band, one on the leading exponents of swing music, will be on hand to furnish dance music and entertainment for those who attend the Freshman Frolic Dec. 5. Henderson was born in a small Georgia town. His father was a colored educator and his mother a talented pianist. After completing his high school at the University of Alabama where he majored in chemistry and played on the football team. In 1920 he went to New York to further his studies in chemistry and while there he played as a piano player in a music store. During Henderson's stay in this music store, he conceived the idea of his famous "Swing" music. He began to make arrangements for Benny Goodman and does so now Most of the credit for this work goes to Henderson doesn't seem to be in the least jealous of his foremost rival for the title of "King of Swing." It was his composition of the number Christopher Columbus and his decision to use it for a theme song that has become a "name" band almost over night. He was engaged to play at the swanky Grand Terrace cafe in Chicago. So popular was he with the patrons that his engagement was extended several times. Only later did he hand take leave of the Grand Terrace cafe to take to the road. Varied Interpretations Varied interpersonal Music critics claim that although we use the same arrangements that Goodman uses, he does not have the finish and polish of interpretation of Goodman. This criticism is probably true and yet not wholly fair. For one thing, his band is smaller, and, being a newer band, has certainly not had as many practice sessions. On the other hand, there is no trace of incompleteness in his renditions of popular tunes. His interpretations are as varied as swing music can be. He is musician enough to realize that even this most popular, type of music can become monotonous if overdone and he The Roving Reporter Conducted by Steven David, Esq. c37 Question: Would you prefer to see a (really) co-operative bookstore on the campus? Allen Sleeper, c.139: "I guess so. It would tend to give students a better break in getting books." Max Rickett, c'40: "Be about the right thing. You could get books at a reasonable price." Elmer McCarty, 'cuncl: "I'm highly in favor of it. It would be better for students who have to purchase books or sell them." Edward Morford, c '40: "I think it would be very nice to get books cheaper—especially so for those students who are working." J. V. Mann, c38: "I think it's the thing. No reason why there shouldn't be some good competition for these book stores." Clarence Robinson, Jr., c'38: "That's one way of doing away with the zoning law." At this point he would have to reconsider, but it was beyond our grasp. University Daily Kansan Official Student Paper of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS PUBLISHER JOHN R.
