"RED SALUTE"
THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 17, 1955
The Hearstian charge of radicalism in the American colleges has been made the theme of the motion picture, "Red Salute," which is released and will be shown in Lawrence soon.
The theme of the picture is the love affair between the heroine, who has been expelled from college for her radical activities, and a young college red in the pay of Soviet Russia. As the story progresses there are scenes in which a strike of radicals is broken up by a troop of soldiers, one of whom is a handsome young private who wins the hand of the heroine and rescues her from the dangerous pit of radicalism. Through him she realizes the folly of her former beliefs and becomes a patriotic American. In the whole picture, the radicals are pictured in an unfavorable light and the scenes of campus activity are full of the havoc they wreak.
That "Red Salute" is purely propaganda is shown by a statement sent to a local exhibitor by the company which produced the picture and to be used at the exhibitor's discretion in advertising the picture. The statement reads, "Delicately woven into the story is a theme that has to do with the youth of today. How very often in their mental development they fly off the handle, easily get certain ideas in their minds, and as such are hard to control."
As college students, we should resent the statement that we fly off the hand[p], easily get certain ideas in our minds and as such are hard to control. The implications of "Red Salute" gives millions of Americans the idea that we are all Moscow agents and are plotting the destruction of our government and country.
The danger of the picture lies in the fact that it is advertised to the public as merely a new type of campus romance and says nothing about the propaganda it contains. In so doing, the producers are putting up a false front and concealing their real motives.
We realize that the movie industry has the legal right to put out any propaganda it desires—just as much right as the Kansan has to fight that propaganda. After all, what is any editorial but propaganda for something? However, the Kansan feels that "Red Salute" is unfair to college students as a whole and resents the fact that red baiters are using college life as a point of attack in their campaign to rid the country of reds.
Ethiopia is said to be overrun with ants. Maybe that's why Mussolini thinks the campaign down there will be a picnic—Kansas City Kansan.
The vehicles of habitually offending drivers in Berlin are to be marked conspicuously with a large yellow cross so that they can be quickly identified by traffic officers. And, it is presumed, the careful drivers who always keep their cars in line will be identified by a huge swastika—K, C, Times.
Campus Opinion
Articles in this column do not imperiously reflect the opinion of the author. The opinions of other authors are lengthy and are cutting to the bite. Convictioners should consult the editor for details.
Editor Daily Kansas
The faculty of the College of the University had his say, and now it is up to the student body to act. Will the faculty be able to use the results they used in the resolution made by the faculty, or will they simply let it pass, and continue it in the dilly-dailying process?
How very true are the words found in part one of the faculty's resolutions, "“a childish practice which is discreditable to the appressors, humiliating to the victim, and so insulting to the students.”" We witness it on the campus." Who维系了resul-

tion certainly bit the nail on the head with the words "childish practice," and "highly offensive." It is the opinion of a large group of students that the manner in which the freshman is so offensive that it almost smells against the freshman is so offensive that it almost smells.
If the students are ever going to do anything about this problem which has sat on the campus for so long, now is the time to do it. The faculty has made an opening for us and we have a stake hold of $d$. Students, you have your opportunity. Use it.
Editor Daily Kansan:
-An Interested Co-ed.
"I want to talk to the manager." I said.
I talked to the manager, who has charge of a local theatre. Then half a dozen of us went down town and told him. We six college boys formed a semi-circle around the potentate, and asked him what he knew about "Red Salute." He took a deep breath, and launched into a summary of the news. The movie finally ran down the street, we proceeded to tell him what we knew.
I reached to my side, jerked a double-barreled gun out of its holder—that in two issues, of "The New Republic" out of touch.
"Red Salute," undertakes to prove, as did H. Bedford-Jones in his famous Liberty article, that the colleges are hostels of Communist propaganda that undermine the ideals and morals of American womanhood."
While this was sinking in, someone naked when "Red Salute" would be shown.
"Four days beginning Sunday, Oct. 20."
Then I let go with the other harrow. Another New Republic said, "This film is unmistakably a made-to-order attack on radiation in the colleges. . . There are at least three places where someone will be tested once the film has been shot since the last one. . . There are shots of thirty-year-old college boys with tough black mugs and shoots of silly intellectuals, hungry looking, plumpy behind lenses. . . As to story, the film is about a man who does not want to be killed or "happened One Night" formula. . . This story is not enough in itself but to put the film over. Exhibitors who are business men and don't want trouble on one side of the line or the other, will find it both too weak and too hot to work with." The film is worked with the social utility of some more freezed period.
I was out of breath, and so was the manager (more or less). Id pulled the punches, and left out a lot of stuff, for which I refer you to The New Republic for October 2. There was a moment of silence. Then the manager opened
I hope the editor will give me room in tomorrow's paper to tell you what he said.

Member of Class of '81 Interprets Convocation Remarks of Waggener
Here's a letter from the Book. Florence Fisch Kelly of the Book Review staff of the New York Times. She is really one of the most distinguished writers I've seen in recent years. In the bar of the Class of 1881. Her letter of transmural indicates that this was a written originally for the Graduate Magazine and yet she wants to be sure the film will do well. The film of handling it to the Kanzen. Since the Graduate Magazine was mailed out only Saturday and we will not have another for a month I think it better be handled by the Kanzen. I therefore send it to you with our com-
Cordially yours.

What the young man had in mind when he placed the little sheet of yellow parchment beneath the glass top of his desk, no one knows. Maybe the parchment was made for him, filled with youthful idealism, he felt that he ought to have some sort of ethics code—and that the one on the parchment suited him. No one knows what mode the young man keep the parchment in. One can ask him for he is dead.
The code was written by a student in an eastern college. He was killed later while working as an electrical engineer and they found it among his papers. His parents had it printed and how the young man got hold of a copy.
I have just learned that in a speech at the opening of the University, one of the reverends told the students to notify the Board if any member of the faculty began to teach Socialism. I was astounded and it seemed to me the most important lesson from the University in a long, long time. It reveals such a deplorable misconception of the rights and duties of any institution of learning that I am wondering if there could have been some mistake, if what the regard said could have been misunderstood or misinterpreted, or disastrous for any one holding such a viewpoint on the province of higher education to be in position of authority over it. No university can afford to pasture Sacred Cows upon its campus or allow itself to be made a home for those who want to uphold its rights and its privilege is to train youth toward larger, fuller, finer, better posed life, and it cannot do this.
"Success Lies Within Myself, In My Own Brain"
"My guide," it began, "To respect
my country, my profession and myself.
To be honest and fair with myself. To
be willing to pay the price of success
in honest effort. To look upon your work
as an opportunity to be moved with joy and mind the most of, not as a
draughty officer to be reluctantly endured."
"To remember that success lies within myself, in my own brain, my own ambition, my own courage and determination. To expect difficulties and force my way through them. To turn hard experience into capital for future struggles. To dispel ill-treatment with cheerfulness; kill doubts with strong
with out the amplest freedom of thought and speech. When these young men and women go out into the world they find it — always — soothing with controversies over every important question, and upon which their conduct divides. To take their place in such a world—and the world is always like that—and to live, at least, intelligently, they need to be already informed upon these matters, to know enough about both sides of moved questions, to understand in them how have tried and are trying to meet the problems that press upon them.
Of course, no instructor should "teach" any theory in the sense of being a propagandist in its favor. He can hold his own convictions—and surely even a professor is entitled to that. He must be able to lead and encourage his students it the investigation and discussion of any question which has become important in science, in learning, in life, whether it may be socialism, civilization, community, capitalism, pacifism, freedom, or another ideology; they may form their own individual, informed, intelligent conclusions about it—and more important, learn how to form such conclusions and so free themselves from the danger of becoming yes-men of either the demand or the decision. To investigate, to question, to discuss, to be intellectually free and unafraid, these are the immemorial students and teachers anywhere and no university can afford to deny them. Does our own University have a good process? Or has it opened its campus into the Sacred Cows?
Florence Finch Kelly, '81
convictions, and reduce active friction with an agreeable personality."
"Finally, to take a good grip on the joys of life, to play the game like a man. To fight against nothing so hard that you would not grow to grow in strength as a gentleman, a Christian, so I may be courteous to you. God, a fragrance in the nath I treat."
The young man who took the yellow parchment copy of the code and carefully put it under the glass top of his new deck will never read it again. Something went wrong with his life. A friend of his got in a jam. There had been a shooting and the friend was shot. The police took the killer shortly before the trapped.
The young man took it pretty hard. And so he went out into the woods one Sunday afternoon and blew out his brain. The little piece of parchment still underneath the glass top of his new desk in a Tulah law office waiting for another young man who possessed courage and a high idealism he made him to follow. Junction punts printed thereon - Donald Pee Earle.
