SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 1935 SOME OF THE PEOPLE, SOME OF THE TIME The 'adage that all of the people cannot be pleased all of the time is nowhere so aptly illustrated as in the dramatics department of the University. No matter what the members of this department do, no matter what plays they present, or no matter how these plays are cast, someone complains, and complains bitterly. Each year an attempt is made to select plays that will meet with general public approval. In several years of experiment, comedies, tragedies, melodrama and classical plays have been produced. Every University theatergoer likes certain of these general types, but few like all of them, usually public comment on a single play玩 the gamlet from several criticism to high praise. But often certain individuals base their criticism on identical points that other individuals use as bases of praise. Such being the case, the dramatics department can do only one thing. It makes an effort to please some of the people some of the time, and hopes that in the course of a year, theater goers may see at least one play that meets their entire approval. And despite criticism, box office returns prove the success of this effort. Ten years ago the average attendance for a play was about 800. "False Gods" played to 2500 people, and others were turned away from full houses. Italy announces her lowest unemployment since 1930. We suspect that there was a lot of work to do in north Africa—Cincinnati Times-Star. GOING TO THE DOGS Lawrence—The dog population is increasing so rapidly in the vicinity of the University of Kansas campus that school officals are seeking a way to remit all their fees to students who own owners. While some of the animals are owned by persons living near or on the campus, many are strays that disturb the classes — K.C. Star “Bird Bits of Kansas” The administrators of the University must have received a wonderful sensation when they read the above clipping, and realized that so successful are their efforts that even the dogs of the town wish to attend school. The saying is that "you can't teach an old dog new tricks," but perhaps some the "purse" running around on the Hill wish to disprove this statement. But dogs do not realize how fortunate they are. Many students would be content to lead a "dog's life" and sleep before the fire all day, yet the dogs seem to desire the life of a student, and the privilege of frollicking on the campus. But that's life. Not even the dogs are satisfied. The White House kitchen has been done over and fitted up with modern electrical equipment. It is believed in Washington that the Roosevelts have consented to renew their lease. —New Yorker CIVILIZATION The march of science and invention is an outstanding feature of our time, but the uses to which we put some of our new knowledge may provide future historians with a supply of material for ironic commentators upon the quality and trend of our "civilization." European dispatches for example report elaborate plans and precautions to protect non-combatant populations against gas warfare. From London comes a story of a "giantic plan to arm Britain's 46,000,000 residents with knowledge and equipment to guard against possible aerial and gas attacks." The program contemplates "weekly drills with gas masks," the organization and training of "special gas squads" for emergencies, and the equipment of every dwelling with "at least one gas-proof room." Hope is expressed that "by next spring. Britain will be thoroughly equipped to withstand any form of gas attack." Paris police authorities have also announced that the French capital now has 27,356 bomb-proof shelters "as refuges for the population in case of air raids." They will be sufficient, it is added, to serve 1,001,531 persons. Placecards giving directions as to what to do in case of air attack are being posted in Paris homes and offices, and people are being laid against high-explosive bombs as well as gas bombs, but gas offers the most frightful nuance in Paris as well as across the channel. In Soviet Russia "sham aerial raids" have been staged to abuse the population to their danger, and facilitate the organization of defensive preparations. Like precautions are being taken in other European countries. Fear of European embullment in the Italio-Ethiopian quarrel broadens and intensifies this preparatory drive. Charges that the Italian airmen have used gas bombs against the Ethiopians are emphatically denied — but oddly enough, the enlightened European peoples seemingly take it for granted that their equally enlightened neighbors will emboy the gas attack without scrupe or restraint in case war breaks out between any of the Continent's highly "civilized" nations. This business of reforming the courts is such a problem you can't help thinking how much nicer it would be if we could just concentrate on reforming the people who are in them all the time. -Boston Transcript.

Editor Daily Kansan: During the past few weeks, with mid-semester exams being given in almost all classes, there has been a revival of interest in the ever-present problem of embriving. The sentiment of many students is greatly urged against those who apparently think it their privilege to get by the best teacher or hit it be by their own intelligence or by their neighbors'. Cribbing is prevalent in all schools of the University. None escape. Even in some of the classes where their professors believe that they are watching the class, there is little concern for them being able to be helped to help them through an exam, and just as long as the teacher doesn't catch them, they are satisfied. It is almost an unreasonable law among students that they are not to fall into cribbing. It has been suggested by some students that perhaps a system of honor could be instituted in the University so that any student caught embriaving would be automatically dismissed from school, which would make work, but it would take much effort and perseverance, because apparently the idea, (it's almost an idea), of embriading has gained a foildood, and seems to be the poor, One Who Doesn't Crib. Editor Daily Kansan: It can scarcely be amiss to offer, from time to time, plays of a thought stirring character. It is encouraging that a thesis play so keen in its symbolism and so suggestive of the human nature and spirit of its characters is capped in the same sincerity with which it was offered. The Department of Speech and Dramatic Art wishes to express gratitude to Dr. Price for his letter regarding "False Gods," and to the Kanan and to the general student body for their generous support of the same production. It is indeed a satisfying result of belief in a thing desired, to find that thing intelligently appreciated by others. In answer to Dr. Price's logical argument that the play tears away, but offers no solutions to the problems it presents, it may be said that Brieux was one of those dramatists, who, like Galsworthy and others, have considered the two hour playing space of their drama far too short a time for both the presentation and the solution of their thesis. We are in a position to understand human mind so that by striving to answer those questions and satisfy those doubts, man might go forward a little. It speaks well for the culture existent at Kansas University that this worth-will play has been so widely enjoyed.

Campus Post Office Does Rushing Business in Money Orders and Parcel Post Laundry Bags The United States flag, that ever present insignia of government service hangs proudly above the doorway one of the rooms in the basement of West Ad. Old Glory is the sign that the Post Office has been the Post Office. The arm of the United States Postal service reaches far—even unto the American College Campus. As usual the government has a very logical argument—dollars and cent are logical in any language—for place on campus. Last year the University post office received more than $18,500 from sales of stamps, but this doesn't compare to the peak year of 1929-30 when the receipts totaled over $20,000. These receipts do not include the thousands of dollars owed to the stella to the students each year. Last month, the first full month of this school year, the stamp sales totaled over $3,000. The little post office remains open all year, and even in the months when the students are not at school the stamp sales average $100 a month. SOCIAL DANCING CLASS: The social dancing class will meet tonight from 7 to 8 o'clock at the Memorial Church. R. C. Abraham Began Duties in 1922 R. C. Abraham is the clerk in charge of the Hill sub-station. For more than 13 years he has been handling out bits of gummed paper in return for the学生 money. In 1922 when he began his duties in the office, he was a rush in laundry a day and many times a rush in laundry and letters caused a congestion in the limited space behind the counter. At the present time the mail is collected twice a day: at 11:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. One letter carrier works out of the office delivering mail on the courier truck to residents in the 1200 block on both Oread and Mississippi. The post office hours are in keeping with the schedule of class hours. From Monday through Friday, the office is open from 12:40 am to 12:59 pm, until 5 p.m. On Saturday the office is open from 8 until 11:30, closing in the afternoon in compliance with the postal regulations with this office because of insufficient space. Farcel past is one big item in the business of this office. Most any time of the day there is a pile of laundry bags awaiting to be dispatched, but Thursday and Friday are the rushiest days for cleaning clothes containers are handled each day. A peak day seldom exceeds 75, but in 1929-30 (the good old days) it was not uncommon to handle 110 cases in a day. The average weight of these Parcel Post Big Item Most of these laundry bags are mailed to points in Kansas, or the neighboring states, although one student, last year, mailed his case to Massachusetts once every month. In general, the students make few mistakes in mailing. Sometimes, in the rush to get the laundry home, students leave their Lawrence address on the label. This is easily remedied by Mr. Browning's help, enough to send the case to the return address on the old label. At the beginning of school many students failed to place their return address on the label. The student was then "educated" into doing it now. Any message, on a postcard, written on the address label, or in an envelope attached to the requester, requires an address. The sender is not generally known to students, and many times is the cause of their packages arriving at the destination with the envelope. Post Office Picture Complete When mailing a magazine or paper, such missives should be rolled so that they may be shipped from the wrapper for inspection. Otherwise they will be lost. The package should be stumbled block for the uninitiated, in the scaling of parcels. No package can be mailed at the press post rate if it must be prepaid as 'fist' class mail. To complete the picture of the usual post office, the much caused pen is prevent in the dinky library. These pens are available for convenience or convenience of the patrons, and through the idea of placing them there may be a compliment, the pen certainly "Do the students actually use those pens?" the clerk was asked. "Why certainly," Abraham seemed astonished at such a question, but he grinned as he added, "but mostly for marmelity, neg." During the 13 year period that Abrahams has been in the office, about 50*sue* papers have been taken by the stu- dies to be destroyed. We will also transcribe to swipe the ink, container and all. Culprits Rummage Office Two years ago, the post office was entered, after the window had been forced. The culprits rummaged through the office taking 30 cents in mutilated coins, but leaving a few good pennies. No finger prints were found, for the intruders had evidently worn gloves. He smiled and said, "The younger generation is not to be condemned to the eternal bow-wows, at least not in accordance with Mr. Abraham's opinion. His moto, after viewing this portion of humanity known as students for 13 years, in "be fair to the students, and they'll be." "Many times during a rush, I'll make the wrong change, giving the GET YOUR CAR Ready For Winter Hot Water Heaters ----- $4.95 up Prestone, Alcohol, Winter Gear Lubrication Tire and Brake Service GOOD YEAR Carter Service Open All Night benefit to the student, but they always call my attention to it.

Hollywood Film Shop Hollywood, (UP) - Gladys Swearthout, after singing her way through her first motion picture, admits she feels a little chostened. After foraking the general trowness at the old Metropolitan opera, she found movies quite a solemn affair. No slapdash vocalizing or the casting of a sour note, and no interpolation for cheering in the movie, and no dashing all over the place, either. The draw, for her title role in "Rose of the Rainbow," had to stand on a childish platform. But when she was photographed, the distance from her face to the lens was measured She felt a little worried at what she would look like, too, when the camera whirred within a yard of her face, enchanting her mouth 50 times. Her mouth if reasonable smallness and she didn't see it. She wondered if it looked the size of a kernel opening. When she sang, she didn't just sing once and let it go at that. She sang until the rendition was flawless, because not many auditors, but millions of auditors, would hear it. The idea that they would be heard and watched by millions haunted the imaginations of even such ordinarily jovial of Wille Howard and Herb Williams.
