PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1936 Comment McGrady Reports Here is the sad case of the smooth McGrady, who dumped out storm oil to settle the waves that shapped him back for his trouble: In August the assistant labor secretary, when the maritime union-employer contract ceased to be effective, dripped uction carefully on both sides to gain a truce. Longshoreman Bridges, called a bad bolthesis for lack of any other name, began to delay the strike. Twenty-seven companies on the coast sued for peace. Everything was well-oiled. peace. Everything came Lundeberg of the Pacific Sailors' Union, member of Bridges Maritime Federation. He decided Bridges might be all right with his weight-lifters, but that the old salts stayed up too late at night without pay, and they wanted strike. Bridges still was unresolved. Next came the Rear Admiral Homet and his new Federal Maritime commission, popping off with all the tact of a sixteen-inch gun. The seamen got mad. Bridges saved his face and the lot of them struck. In New York Joe Curran organized a rank and file sit-down for the good of the deckhands' profession and himself. This left the employers split on the west coast and the strikers, in the east. it. It was too much for Bridges. For the first time, he said something: "When any group . . . take action endangering the welfare of the nation, they are assuming a position the government must challenge." To top this off, police beat up pickets, the federal employment service hired strike-breakers, the seamen remembered that their besses exist largely on government subsidies, and began to wonder about the impartial character of politicians. Secretary of Labor Perkins then did her duty, requesting negotiations. "Chowderhead" Cohen was arrested and charged in federal court under the Byrnes act, forbidding transportation of strong-arm men across state lines. After this McGrady recharged himself with oil and the government began to get places. Two strikers have been killed, however, and the employers refused to negotiate while the strike was on, leaving both sides split and intractable. McGrady met the situation. Today he reported progress. Hutchins' Proposition Infringing somewhat on the "Faculty Minds" department of Life magazine, Harpers Magazine has published in its November issue an article by Robert M. Hutchins entitled "What is a General Education?" Though Dr. Hutchins as president of the University of Chicago is enjoying a position of high respect and importance in the educational field, the proposition which his recent article embodies—i.e., that a required general education course as a basis for further study should consist of the classic books of the western world and the arts of reading, writing and speaking, together with mathematics—will provoke from educators (as well as editorial writers) not a meager amount of disdain. dismant. Few persons will maintain that a knowledge of the classics is not to be desired for a well-rounded education. Objections, however, must be voiced to the proposition that classical knowledge be made the basis for even a "general" education is such a complex society with which we are today blessed and—or burdened My way of elucidation, Dr. Hutchins states that the problems of social and personal conduct which Plato raised have never been adequately solved and for that reason the work of Plato are of as great an importance today as in ancient Greece. That certain of the problems of the two periods are somewhat analogous cannot be denied; but to maintain that the solution to the problems in a society kept alive by a slave economy, are applicable to the problems in our complex society is indicative of naivete not befitting a university president. How could even a comprehensive knowledge of the classics enable the modern youth to meet and solve either the personal or social problems of the present day? Well, Jim Farey has gone to Ireland. If he functions as efficiently over there as he has here, we can expect the Irish Free State to annex England almost any day. Columbia's Professor Kasner has seemingly proved that the sum of the parts may be greater than the whole. So he can't get the watch back together, eh?—Atlanta Constitution.

Long Considered Day of Evil Omen By Louis Folecke, c. 1985 Today is Friday, the third week of school, unless you already know that, if you don't wear odd shoes, if you go fishing, if you kiss your girl, or if you wash dishes, if you mishaps, my patience will bet你软. This superstition concerning Friday, the thirteenth, is just another of those common ones maintained by a supposedly intelligent and civilized people, and like most of the others, its origin dates to the 12th century to know definitely how and why this day is supposedly unlucky. Other superstitions are many. Frequently we meet the person who, upon spilling some salt, immediately throws a pinch of it over his left shoulder; who takes a slice for seven years after breaking a mirror; who looks for four-leaf clovers; who will under no circumstances walk under a ladder; who will detour for blocks to prevent his path from getting wet; and plants his potatoes in the dark of the moon and does fishing in the light of the moon; RUTTER'S SHOP 1014 Mass.

"Sure Cures" The superstitions of an earlier day, however, were much more generally accepted and believed than those of today. For instance, concerning hydrophobia, the people of the eighteenth century even went so far as to believe that the bones and appearance of a person tended to become like those of a dog when he was suffering from this disease. Some "sure cures" for this disease were set down in a book, Royal Academy of Euroracology. The text under the list of hydrocarbons cured was, "If the victim be a woman, let her be bled, tied to a chair for a year, and fed only bread and water." The second, "Let the patient be tied to a tree and 200 pails of water thrown over him."
