PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1936 Comment Dracula's Den have you ever seen Dyche museum at midnight? There is a ghostly shroud that seems to hang over that forsaken building. It seems to live in memories of the crowds of gay students who—long years ago—came to it in search of knowledge and entertainment. All that is passed. Now Dyche stands there, a lonely relic of another era, practically uninhabited. Oh, there are dioramas there, and demeusids, too, or at least so report has it. What good dioramas are, at any rate when they are kept hidden in a dusty museum, is debatable. It's nice to know they are there, it seems, but some apparently intelligent persons maintain that they would be of more value if the students could be allowed to see them. This must be a silly idea, for if such were the case one would imagine the museum would open its doors. Apparently, however, Dyche will stand there, a block structure, dreaming of a past of which it is proud, while students pass its closed doors, wondering why somebody doesn't do something about it. Soon bats will come to live there, and rats, too. And ghosts . . . Have you ever seen Dyche museum at midnight? Half-Hitching Commerce The maritime workers have now put two half-batches around the nations foreign commerce for the first time since the Embargo act of President Jefferson. The cargoes of four hundred ships are rotting, forty thousand men are out of work, export industries are closing, food prices in our dependencies are sky-high, riots have occurred, and the Hawaii University football team will not play Utah State. Why? 1. Because a seaman's life usually ends at the age of thirty-five—not heroically, in shipwrecks, but because he is not at the peak of physical ability, and is not wanted. He is forced to look for work on shore, where he has no particular experience, and here too his age is against him. The strikers' object is to gain union control of hiring halls to insure jobs for sailors and longshoremen past their youth. 2. Because of wages and hours in the Pacific trade, the galley crews often have to work fourteen hours a day. Seamens' overtime is paid with time off, instead of double wages, as is common on the Great Lakes. Each additional hour of work are more difficult, and pay in kind is no fair return. 3. Because, particularly on the Atlantic coast, where a sit-down sympathy strike has become a movement of members against their union officials, the latter are guilty of graft and strike-breaking. The latter they admit, in support of a union contract with ship owners, which the seamen contend the owners have broken, and which was illegally made by appointed, not elected, officials. As to graft, Joseph Curran, of the rank ane file defense committee, has secured avidavits charging a vice-president of the seamen's union with taking $1,225 a month from steamship lines. A former president admits accepting twelve hundred a month from seven companies, while he was in office. These principles, and particularly the first, sailors believe to be the foundation of an efficient, lasting maritime profession. In defense of them, for the first time in history, even licensed officers have struck. Toward A People's Press During this campaign, something happened which brings much encouragement to all of us who believe in liberal journalism. It dis葬 much of the gloom we feel when we consider how dominated by business our press is. It almost makes us forget the unfair handling, either deliberate or just dumb, of Spanish news by the Associated Press. In New York City, the "Post," published by David Stearn has made unprecedented gains. Only a few years under its new progressive direction, in the last year alone, it gained over 100,000. There were but two papers in the city that didn't gain in advertising and circulation. They are the Two Hearst papers—the American and the Evening Journal. Otherwise conservative Philadelphia, Stern's Record gained over 125,000 readers in the last year. And that is the fact that liberal journalism has gained enormously during this campaign—not alone in prestige but financially, as well. A prime example is the Chicago "Times." The only progressive paper in a city that confesses to having two Hearst papers, plus the "Chicago Tribune" and Knox's "Daily News", it gained circulation so that today it boasts 300,000. And this was a paper that a short while ago wasn't even being sold by the Loop newdealers. How marched past the Hearst building and the Chicago is felt was demonstrated by the booing of the 175,000 Roosevelt paraders when they marched past the Heart building and the Chicago Tribune on their line of march. These figures can mean only one thing. The pablici has lost faith in a great section of its press. It is rite at hysterical charges of Communism levelled at our president, disgusted by faked photos, angry about manufactured news. It is ready for papers that tell all the news. It is ready for papers that understand the people's need, and not those of a small group of Americans. Journalism for all the people may yet become a reality. Campus Opinion Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University, Daily Kavan. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor.

A student is expected to write in order that the University's reason for maintaining a department of English may be seen, it prints the most accurate grammar. Editor Daily Kansas: What is the secret of the American Student Union? Our Editor-in-chief criticizes the straw vote "Poll" for serving hidden purposes and obtaining secret information. We are not the nature of the secret information. Last Sunday he objected to the member ship requirements saying "you can be opposed to one point only to find you are pointed at by the members we hate who privacy-district we editor. And how much should hinge on our public opinion of us. One should consider this grave danger before signing up. There must be some security measures such as a beautiful compaction." Our editor doubts! He does not say why. We have had enough unissued hints. Lets have the facts. Come on Edie expose those nefarious designs. What is the secret of the A.S.U. T.P.R. Editor Daily Kansan: The only thing wrong with the Kansas Players production, "Bury the Dead," is that certain members of our highly touted "intellectual" college audience tried to outplay the characters on the stage. Now we hate people who do their share of pushing on revolving doors—who don't crack in beders in boxes or hide in boxes over three cents change—"whete tell fifth at the dinner table—who let their nets呕咽—whebe pull out." But the greatest hate falls to those people who try to "wave" a show from the fifth row. When this (supply the worst name you know) swings into action with his very bad imitation of a juvenile *Frankenstein*, he gets in a fight. He remarks in a loud, clear voice for the whole theater to hear—when he ruins the mood by laughing at the wrong time, the audience is transferred from a desire to enjoy the play to a desire In the case of the play "Bury the Dead" we offer this suggestion. Let the Sergent load up his pallet to get ready for the fire. Then the Sergent march off the stage, fire with great skill, and amid the cheers of the audience, really bring the BD. Editor Daily Kansan; Our darling Mr. Potter, I see, has said his sui concerning our lamentable football situation. He is slightly cock-eyed in his facts, but they represent the honest opinion of the downtown coaches' association. He gives the merchants credit where it is not due. The stadium and the Union building, he says, were built by the merchants. I was a student when the stadium was built; it didn't afford plentiful money for the building, and later paid special fees to help complete it. The stadium was started in the same manner. Mr. Potter can find in the files of either the Kansan or the Journal-World news stories showing that the Kansan provided plenty to the court of the football temple. He states that several good football coaches have held positions at the University, but not why they did so. He also says that he is about the administration throwing up its hands in horror at the thought that a little fifty money might be spent on the players. While we think Doctor Allen is a fine man and a good coach, football players will not come to Kansas as long as the basketball coach is the director of athletics, and football does not get an even break. We advocate a director of athletes who does not favor one sport above another. We favor paying for football players' fees, food, and other expenses at a local high school or college. All players should be forced to work for a living. As for the downtown coaches' association, they should get rid of the idea that the University should support the city, bring in industries to support it, and put them at the center. The result would have to meddle in the other's affairs. Lawrence White.

Playful Students Take Street Lights On 3,200-Volt Wire The lads who seem to possess what might be termed "too much of spirit" (school or otherwise) and possibly a "tethered in the head" complex also, might appreciate our running a line of warning before we These playful fellows have been dropping street lights down into the middle of intersections during the wee hours of the morn by the simple method of unfractionation. They are supporting the lights and letting it飞 up to the top of the pole like a window blind. This lowers the light enough that the brave, or hair-brained, to be correct, fellows can reach up and unscren the light bulb—which hap-ness does not occur at all due to electricity. This is more than enough voltage to pickle them from now and henceforth. Police have been unable to catch the youth, but they feel sure they will discover the hellions soon—lying in the middle of an intersection in the city. They are not fact that two automobiles have collided with these dangling reflectors. Official Student Paper of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS University Daily Kansan PUBLISHER JOHN R.
