PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1928 Comment Schoolboys' Blues Schoolboys Blues (Apologies to E. Field) The dioramas are covered with dust. But sturdy and stammmy they stand. And the little toy dinosaur red with rust. And broke by a vandal's hand. Time was when you could see, if you liked, The exhibits they have in there; But that was before they closed old Dyche, That's now so dusty and bare. The legislature gave us a stuffed gorilla. Said, "How nice," and saying such it Tulled off to its turtle bed. And as it was dreaming, they came along And closed old Dyche museum; To dream of a balanced budget. And as it was dreaming, they came along Oh! the years are funny, the years are long, But exhibits—you still can't see 'em. Dedicated to balanced budgets it stands. (Aumentable situation) Awaiting the touch of a little hand. Be on an appropriation. And we wonder, as waiting the long years through. We see it crumbling and bare. What has become of the legislature That kissed it and put it there? Blum and the Press From France comes the news that the Popular Front government of Blum is introducing a bill into the Chamber of Deputies that will regulate the press. Always a touchy subject for any democracy, freedom of the press today, more than ever, is a rallying word for those who use it as a slogan to justify the deliberate printing of his honest material. Bluem's bill is designed to end the worldwide reputation of the French press for corruption. It is common knowledge that in pre-war, and even in post-war days various foreign governments have "bought" French newspapers. While foreign subsidization of the French press is believed to be not so common today, subsidization by certain interests is. It is common gossip that the Comite Des Forges, steel manufacturers, and munitions makers control the Temps, and until his death, Coty, perfume manufacturer and pro-fascist, subsidized many of the boulevard journals of Paris. Blum's bill is designed primarily with two aims in mind. The first is to make rigid the French libel laws and prevent the incitement to commit violence which is often preached in the Fascist press. The second, and perhaps the wisest section of the Bill is designed to make public to all the sources of a newspaper's revenue. Opponents of the bill open their mouths to roar out that ancient wheeze so familiar even here. They say it is as infringement of the freedom of the press. If it were, we would join them in their chorus. However we agree with Blum when he says that by arguing to keep their sources of revenue secret, they argue not for freedom of the press but for freedom to be corrupt. This latter section is an important step in the direction of cleaning up the French press. While it doesn't prohibit subsidiation by flat, it does virtually the same thing by making available to all interested the name of the subsidizer. No newspaper could afford this. And, says he, newspapers should be as honest as possible if democracy is to function effectively. We agree. We, the Suckers Profiling by your education is a most ennobling thought. At least, it is ennobling until one realizes that others have the same idea ... For years our alumni, refusing to walk downtown to buy from competitors, built up the new book trade that exists on Fourteenth street. The local monopoly is not, as some rumor has it, based on collusive contracts with publishing houses. It does not need them. Student indifference preserves it. The co-operative principle, which has Economics I teaches this singular point about monopolies; they can charge a maximum price. The local store has flourishing trade, and there is no objection to that, but the money that does so well in the hands of others would flourish better in our own. The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program 2. Betterment of student working conditions 3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore 1. A wait-trained castry ambulance program. 2. Retirement of student working conditions. a. Reopening of Dyche museum. b. Construction of a medical science building. 3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore. 4. Revision of house government rules. 4. Revision or house government 5. An adequate building program, including 6. *Addition to the stacks of the library.* 7. *Restoration of faculty salaries.* brought Scendinavia to prosperity, is simply this profits that would ordinarily go to a private pocket are given to consumers who operate the enterprise. It offers us a means of keeping much of the money we donate to bookstore owners. How much would that be? The University of California store rebates ten per cent of the list price of texts to purchasers, yet in one year earned twenty thousand dollars for student use. If it had been a private business it would have made a sixteen per cent profit. This was in competition, which inevitably reduces earnings; the local store has no worries on that score. As long as the local store calls our signals we will waste our money needlessly—enough to buy a good many books, a good many scholarships, a bevy of concerts and lectures. We are not the only ones who profit by our education. The University of Kansas needs a co-operative book store. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Mr. Wiley is worthy and unnecessary remarks were, in addition to being foolish, abounding with more ridiculous things. I said that the merchants of Lawrence have done more than their share towered building the Stadium, but he has done nothing in no uncertain terms. He says that he knows all about it; for he was a student then. For that reason, I am happy to have him as a teacher. On November 13, 1920, a K. U. football team, outweighed 27 pounds in the man and a decided underweight 28 pounds in the girl. They half and tied a 20-point pile led up by the Commuters. School spirit was running so much after the inauguration that the stadium was started on Nov. 15. The students pledged $100,000 for coaching every day. The stadium was even paid. Alumni and friends have paid most of the $460,000, total cost of the mossy, "The Athlete" Association still owns it. 46,000 We well to note that most of the merchants of lawrence who have supported and led these various movements have been a part of the administration of the most and most enthusiastic you can find anywhere. It wants the University of Kansas to be one of the most important parts of a part of the school. It fights our battles with us and suffies with us in its efforts. Each year a debate is held on the subject of poka to plop for appropriations for the University. The town wants a football team; the students want a soccer team; the students who support the University, want a football队. Let us affect a change of policy that will allow K. U. to play football. There are many others! I have on ten jobs for an entire football squad right here in our little city the moment the administration gets involved. While most schools are crying for the support of the local community, our city is trying to help us out our predicators. We can't go somewhere else for a while. Not only to broaden your narrow views, but to give this section of the country a break. You should stay away down. White. Your peril is 'sour as your pain. Max W.

If All the Pre-Election Prophecies Should Come To Pass Tomorrow--are coronally invited to come. Martha Peterson, President of Y.W.C.A. Sam Halner. c'37 By Sam Halper, c37 And so it came to pass that in the year 1908 the calamity happened. Roosevelt was re-elected by a tremendous handshake over their chapels, for according to accurate pre-election forecasts, the country was coming to them. Aye, there was a celebration in the kennels that night. Hearst and McCormick had been right. The country was delivered into the hands of rogues, reds and crackpots. Roosevelt, true to predation, got into immediate contact with Moscow and invaded a city but sinister intelligence brain must just be his councils. The Liberty League, Hearst and Al Smith had been right. Ternites began grazing at the Constitution. Not only ternites, but second-ternites. They were met at the pier by a delegation led by Rexford Tuywell and Earl Browder. The latter had been appointed by the President as official spokesman. This was in payment of a debt of gratitude owed by Roosevelt to the 110,000 who had elected him. No one communicated with them 11,000,000 Communists in America. Not even the Communists. The first thing that Roosevelt did was to stuff the Supreme Court with 26 new appointees, all radicals, including Felix Frankforter, David Dubinky, Max Eastman and an unknown named Ginsburg. Ginsburg was qualified as a radical and indented by the Democratic-controlled Congress because he had once written a letter to the New York Times denouncing cafeterias for using napkins without a union label. Nothing much happened at this historic session. The Constitution had been interpreted, stretched, upheld, modified and muddled so many times that not much was left of it anyhow, and it yielded its glyph with only a niftie wheeze, which was later enclosed in enclosing opinting plastic Butler. The 35 justices of the Supreme Court held only one session. They demonstrated that the Constitution clearly and conclusively was unenforcable. Men Become Numbers The Social Security Act, unchecked by Supreme Court kultizing, was of course put into immeasure, as predicted by Mr. Heast and other publishing luminaries, all men immediately became numbers. From one to nine. The ephers were immediately shot by a firing squad. The rest of the numerals clanked in a morose precession from pay day to pay day, finding nothing in their pay envelopes except the notice saying that there would be nothing but pay envelopes that notice saying that there would but a notice saying there would be nothing in their pay would be nothing in their pay envelopes. Men Become Numbers The workers under the Social Security Act were truly a pitiful sight. As predicted by Mr. Hearst, they were around their necks prodigious metal identification tags weighing 10 pounds. The tags had a curious history. They were manufactured from church bells. Because, true to the soothing of Father Coughlin, Roosevelt, the dictator, had turned anti-God. At one stroke he had decimated the clergy by declaring a year's moratorium on sermons and great numbers of clergymen immediately died of high steam pressure. And as predicted by Mr. E. T. Weir, the dictator made all the workers join trade unions. Loud Clergy Expense Question: Would you prefer to see three plays given by a professional touring ensemble? Would you give all three plays given in Fraser theater by the Dramatic club and the Kansas Players? Roving Reporter Sally Bachelor, c'99; "I'd rather see four by the Dramatic club. You can see good plays in the city, but here you have a chance to see your fellow students and it encourages those who are taking dramatics." Bill Pratt, c'40: "If the amateurs were up to par with "Bury the Dead," I think the student plays would be preferred." Charles Manlove, c.37: "I believe I'd rather see those in Fraser... Home talent." were their lamentals as they sought to escape this fate. They ran to the Liberty League, to Mr. Worl to save them from this fate of higher wages But Mr. Roosevelt only fashioned Mr. Lewis's leeches on their firmer Thus it was that the distinction thus lovers of government by those lovers of government by the people Heasart, McCormick, DuPont, Morgan. Alfred Hanssen, c:39: "I should prefer a bit of each type; not one alone." Lawrence Christenson, c37: "Three plays by foreign talent would be much more educational. The playwrights who will get ideas by seeing them." Eighteen huge sun spots, all large enough to swallow up the earth, recently made their appearance on the surface of the sun. They are caused by tremendous cyclonic disturbances. The gases at the center of Eighteen New Sun Spots Visible To Earth We hope this helps Prof. Crafton —not that he gives us good grades or anything, but he does keep us laughing. This row of sun spots, stretching the 1,500,000 miles across that part of the sun visible from the earth, was observed by Fletcher Watson of the Harvard Observatory through a solar telescope which projects an image of the sun on a white screen. The largest spot is mostly thirty thousand miles in diameter, and the smallest about eight thousand. Sunday All-Musical Vespers Prove To Be Unusually Successful The recent appearance of these spots is a part of an eleven-year cycle which is expected to reach its maximum in the winter. You can see the spots without The Harvard astronomer said that definite correlation has been established between the rings of trees and these gaseous disturbances on the solar surface, and that although they are believed to be associated with periodic changes in weather on the earth, the exact connection is a disputed point among astronomers. these storms are cooler than the surface of the sun. The University Symphony Orchestra, the Westminster A Cappella Choir, string quartet from the School of Fine Arts and Laurel Exeterette Andersen, organist, were combined with one of the outstanding musical events of the year at the Sunday afternoon all-musical wperps. Several hundred persons attended. Read the Kansan Want Ads! Radio fans who enjoy Fred Waring's ensemble and its method of singing are passing up a bet by not hearing Dean Swarthout's A Capella Choir. This hi-hat choreography, the modern mechanics of singing combined with the best in the old. The arrangement of "Steal Away," old spiritual, which they used Sunday was the most impressive number the choir has sung. In this performance the choir sang with all the fullness and harmony of a well manipulated organ. The hours of practice which the choir has undergone were evident in every number. Other songs which he sang include "Ye the Name of the Lord" (Techniklowcy); "Hosmann" (Christiansen) and "The Shepherd's Story" (Dickinson). The Vespers service was closed by the University Symphony Orchestra under the able direction of Karl Kuesterstein of the Plains (Goldmark).
