PAGE TWO --- UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS / WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1938 Comment We Offer---- Most people will agree that the depression is rapidly passing, but one phase of it remains—unemployment. Huge amounts of money have been used to create jobs, and various relief measures have been put into effect, but apparently with little success. The amount of unemployment today is much the same as it was at the worst part of the depression. However, one solution worth trying remains—offering college educations to the majority of high school graduates, and some sort of trade school education to the others. Consider unemployment as a vast lake into which flows a steady stream of men and women—the majority of them young—all seeking work. Business can only absorb a certain number each year, so that the lake remains at approximately the same level. The NYA, CCC camps, and the CSEP are endeavoring to accomplish something of the sort at present, but it should be put on a much larger basis. At present only about 5 per cent of the total population of the United States are college men and women: this should be increased. Not only would unemployment become less the spectre it now is, but business generally would profit because of a raised level of intelligence and a more thorough knowledge of business principles. Naturally the unemployment situation would appear again as time went on, but we would be in a much better position to cope with it. Suppose that, beginning now, all high school graduates, instead of being dumped into the unemployment lake, were to be sent to college or to a trade or vocational school for four years, taking them off the labor market. The result would be that the flow into the lake of potential employables would become a mere trickle. Business during that four-year period could absorb most of those remaining in the lake, meanwhile adjusting itself to new conditions. Then, when the college graduates come upon the scene there will be a much greater chance of their finding employment. Political Football Kansas schools have been kicked all over the field for the past year like political footballs, yet they have come through the scrimmage with only four states ranking above them in literacy. Iowa ranks first with only .68 per cent illiterates; Oregon and Washington have 1.0 per cent, and Idaho has 1.1 per cent. The number in Kansas is 1.2 per cent, Nebraska, Utah, and South Dakota rank with Kansas, and South Dakota has the largest number, 14.4 per cent. The Kansas courses of study have been recently revised to meet modern demands, and the Social Studies in Unit Courses are reported to be the best in the United States by authorities in the field. Courses offered in English, art, safety and in other subjects are equally good. More than that, Kansas schools, supposedly so neglected because operating costs have been cut, are maintained at a cost above the national average. Kansas makes a capital outlay of $2.89 per pupil while the national average is but $2.24. Youth Can Do It Late any other metropolis, Kansas City, Missouri, has a hundred or so different aspects in which it may be viewed. While to some "the city" is only a grand and glorious play ground, and to others is that matter-of-fact place known as "home," to a large number of people one of the more unpleasant aspects of the city has recently been made increasingly conspicuous. This aspect is the disagreeable knowledge that the "heart of the nation" is badly managed, boss-ridden metropolis, with more names on its registration books than there are adult residents of the city. Starting on a financial shoe-string, Cincinnatus ran three unknown young men, all under thirty, for City Council. One of the candidates was elected. The machine that ran the city sought to shelve him by putting him on the Efficiency Committee, whose name was always a misener. The alert young man made efficiency mean what it spelled, dug up an old graft scandal in a garbage-collection contract and forced indictments of two people, one of them a former city official. An indication that the young generation is very much interested in such matters and will be the one to put reforms into effect, if such there are to be, is illustrated in the accomplishments of the New Order of Cincinnatus, established in Seattle in 1933. From a small beginning the organization has developed a significant movement on the Pacific coast, net results of which are; three councilmen in Seattle; one supervisor in San Francisco; one councilman in Bellingham, Wash.; and the entire city council in Kirkland, Wash. The energy and civic-mindedness of this group of young citizens might well be taken as an example by the young people in this particular part of the middle-west. Too many of us are destined to become a part of the population of Kansas City to look placidly and noncommitally on the situation as it now exists. Are we also to pay taxes to be used in support of a rotten municipal government, dedicated to graft and the furthering of one man's political ambitions? If we will it so, it may become our duty and our privilege to make it otherwise. Campus Opinion Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kaman. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions on any subject are invited. Editor Daily Kansan; It's certainly gratifying to know that the editor-in-chief of the Kansan is not willing to sit back and watch the students be duped by an upstart organization like the University of Kansas. The university has the size of oura there has been nobody else clever enough to realize to what misster unces the results of the straw man game has done. It is a standing offer from Moscow of a fabulous sum for that information. It is even whispered in the inner circle of students who have down for fear that the Kansas chapter of the A.S.U. would let him down. Everybody should know have that a thing so unusual as a straw man could be a student opinion. Straw votes are practically unknown in this country, they have only been conducted in practically all of the colleges. So thank you, Mr. Editor; for keeping your eyes open. The next thing you know the A.U.S. might have something as unusual as a dance or a picture and well sure be entertaining if you can be creative and derivative activities for the easily missed student body. Editor Daily Kansan; Samuel Sass Editor's note: Teb! Teb! new Sammy Samuel Sass The reader of any sensational articles on moot questions should take cognizance of three things first, the author, second, the sources, and, third, whether the article is based on information found in every controversial issue. He may then judge whether the article is biased, and, if so, in which direction. The author of Spain and Europe some years ago wrote that the book is sympathetic. Much of the data in the editors' authorized derived from the New Republic. Nearly all of the author's work was published as a scholarly somewhat more deeply colored transcriptions of remarks in that Leit-wing publication, the attitude of which is unsympathetic to religion. Any of his readers might be for himself how many issues he presented. T. C. Lawrence. Editor Daily Kansam: The advent of attendance at another home football game gives us anything but pleasurable anticipator towards the process necessary to obtain entrance to the stadium. It has been said that Manhattan a couple of weeks ago wherein we were treated with a nine almost too good to be true. Beware! turnstiles upon mere presentation of their tickets! there was there an evidence and a body that had not known any individual for signs of what—we don't know. Of course, it may be that Kansas State, being a smaller school and all, cannot afford turnstiles and only need to body to see that some poor unsuspecting freshman has not given his ticket away, even though that ticket is all paid for and the money long since in the bank. Furthermore, we feel constrained to command the R.O.T.C. of Kansas State College on the manner in which they handled the scouting and the crowds at the games. We are aware that they hardly afford to pay R.O.T.C. boys to work at these games, for in the first place the Boy Scouts do not cost anything, even though they are of no value at the University. They only received $10,011.19 from the Student Activity Ticket1, last year, it is obvious that they cannot afford to hire students to provide the necessary seating conventions and facilities, so apparently necessary in the minds of our athletic department, which naturally precludes any jobs for university students, capable of doing the job. Summarizing then, we wish to make it clear, to prevent any of the usual tactics of the Athletic Department to advertise the issue and pass the hocus pocus. We must ensure that the system of the Athletic Department in hiring detectives to check up on us individually and determine our competencies is not already paid our admission by virtue of the activity ticket. Secondly, we protect the use of Boy Scouts and other organizations where they are incapable of doing the job satisfactorily and are only being used to save expense of hiring students to participate in sports, but as students are entitled to those jobs. the activity ticket to do continue, let it continue with the instruction that the students and not for the Athletic department.

Probably no other person played such an important role in the formation of the state of Kauaʻi, the University, and the city of Lawrence as Charles Robinson. Most persons he is known merely as the first governor of Kauaʻi, but also as the governor and his services were many. Ry Donald Ames. c'37 Born at Hardwick, Mass., July 21, 1818. Robinson received an education at Amberst College and the Berkshire Medical School. He began the practice of medicine at Bolechertown, Mass., and opened a hospital at Springfield in 1945. In 1848 he was attracted by the discovery of gold in California and joined a Boston company bound for the Pacific coast. He headed a mold making team to size the estate of General John Sutter Later he was elected as a member of the legislature of California, but he preferred to return to Massachusetts. When Eli Thayer organized the New England Emigrant Aid Company, Dr. Robinson applied for service and was accepted. Having passed through Kansas on his way to the coast, he recalled the beauty of the state. He visited there. He and 28 other men left Boston on July 17, 1854, and arrived at Kansas City on July 28. On August 1 they reached Lawrence, the cite selected by Dr. Robinson for the first settlement. On that day the hill on which the University now stands was named Worcester Seminary of Worcester, Massachusetts, founded by Eli Thayer. Roving Reporter Many Public Meetings These cultured, well-educated people settled in a body about Lawrence. They brought with them the training engendered by the New England town meeting, and at no other town in Kansas was there ever so many public meetings as at Lawrence at that time. Dr. Robinson was very prominent at these conventions which were held in the purpose of crystallizing sentimental valor of the foundation of a republic. Many Public Meetings Question: What are you going to wear for Hobo Day? Floyd Decaire, c'40: "If it stays this warm, my bath suit" as a whole these fresh are pretty subtle, and we maintain that this is sizzar- John Fitzgibbons, c. 57: "I'm going to dress like a typical hobe—my best suit." Donald Oleb, gr: "My instructor doesn't approve of cutting, so I think I'll go to class like a good boy," News flash: It's to be a legal half-holiday, so now the fellow's got no excuse ... John Swader. c'40: "I'm going to wear one of my wife's costumes." This person's doing well—a fresh-nan and he's got a wife. To Virgil Mitchell, c38, goes the credit for this peachy question . . . Rummer has it that young Editor's Note, Asher, is to wear a bit of lavender and old lace . . . And with his quaint figure! Robert Pyle, c'40: "I'm going to be a real hobo and sleep." However, there was plenty of trouble for the new settlers. The site of Lawrence had been taken up by pre-emption before the coming of the first party of New England emigrants. Soon conditions arose that were like those in Californias. When the first claim on Lawrence was finally purchased for the Aid Company for the sum of $200 It was always Robinson's policy to avoid any resistance to the United States government, but he ignored laws passed by the bogus proslavery legislature in 1885. He took an active part in the Wakara-russ War as commander-in-chief, and succeeded in obtaining a bloodless victory for the Five State Forces. Furthermore, the member of the Tepeka convention that drew up a Free State constitution. In 1850 Robinson was elected governor under his constitution but was arrested soon after on a charge of treason and usurpation of office. The was brought to trial and acquitted. Two years later he was reelected governor by the Free State party, and in 1850 he was again reelected under the Wyamieh convention. He was sworn into office as the first governor of the state of Kansas. He was immediately confronted by the University Daily Kansan Official Student Payer of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANASAS LAWRENCE, KANASAS PUBLISHER JOHN R.

PHONE K.U. 66 In 1956 Amos Lawrence requested Robinson to spend money for him to lay the foundation of a school building on the north part of Mount Oread. As a foundation for this institution, Mr. Lawrence gave $10,-000. Meanwhile, the legislature was endeavoring to establish a state University. A hill to locate the University at Manhattan was introduced in 1861, but for political reasons it was vetoed by Governor Robinson, a founder and defender of the legislature. The legislature $15,000 for an edowment fund and forty acres of land, the city of Lawrence received the University in 1863. A committee name to select the site chose Mount Oread. The city gave Mr. and Mrs. Charles Robinson, in exchange for Beginnings of K. U.
