Property Man's Difficulty Retards Progress of Production for Time
Champagne Bottles Scarce
No.128
The property man for the "Butter and Egg Man," next dramatic production at the University, ran into a dif-ferent situation. The time, the progress which the cast has been making for the last few weeks. A number of champagne bottles are needed in the second act of the play by the narrator. Her inner's search for them was in vain.
No thought was given to the difficulty in obtaining champagne bottles until the property man found such articles were scarce on the Hill because champagne is costly, and the shape of the bottle is different from that of most liqueur bottles.
"The Butter and Egg Man," is a satire of the New York theatrical producing business, and we were invited to play it as be presented by the University dramatic club, iFraser theater March 14, 15, and 16 in Copenhagen. It is also in the basement of Green hall.

Publishers Are Handicapped by Lack of Copy
The student directory supplement is being printed by the Douglas County School Board, a national institution made by the Men's Student Council last Wednesday evening, Erasol Strobel, 132, president of the Council. The board accepted the bid of the Republican, which was $82 lower than that of the World Bank, and press submitted a still lower bid.
It was later found that the Journalism press could not submit a bid in competition with other firms, by ruling of the Board of Regents, and therefore lost all of its votes. The Council stipulated that the job was to be finished at Saturday, March 12.
Present indications show that the copies will not be delivered by that time. According to E. F. Abels of the Republican, only a small amount of copy has been received. This has been addressed and the printers are waiting for more.

Aspiring Teachers Face Salary Cuts and Consolidations
Chandler Cites Statistics Showing Seriousness of Situation in Towns
HIT MUSIC AND ARTS
Average salary cuts amounting to 10 per cent and staff reductions amounting to from 25 to 30 per cent are being taken on board of the school boards which will affect considerably the status of K.U. seniors and graduates, according to H. E. Chandran et al. (1987) and the bureau. These figures apply only to town and city schools. Statistics will not be available for rural localities unless contracts have been held.
Consolidations of departments and abolition of others makes drastic stuff reductions possible. Art, speech, and music seem to be the courses most stringently curtured, he said. Apollo's office is one of the teachers' appointment bureau reporting such consolidations of departments in schools of western localities.
There is yet in Kansas a valid state law which makes it possible for eighth grade graduates to teach in rural schools, but more than 60 years old are taking examinations and agreeing to accept $50 a month if they receive schools. It has long been a conception of the school system to teach school, and many of these misfits probably will find jobs at low wages during the depression, according to Mr. Chandler. Consequently, teachers must be forced to accept salary cuts or be out of a position altogether, he believes.

Newman Jeffrey, c.s. 82, manager of the office, instructed me to attend the weekly舞会 refrain from destroying the decorations as it will mean added work for lines in charge of the dance.

Hoover Refuses to Give Views About Prohibition
Private Sources Maintain President Remains Firmly Dry
Washington, March 9 — (UP) The most authoritative information represents President Hoover as holding his dry views despite a pronounced desire among the Republican opposition to the prohibition issue to the country.
On modification Hoover said that it permit that which the Constitution forbid would be mutilation and that this would not be counteracted by the government and that he feeling an feeling he has an obligation to those who supported him on prohibition in 1928 and that now to yield to the anti-prohibitions would be a desertion of thousands of friends with no other grounds than expediency to them.
Many attempts have been made to elicit from Mr. Hoover his attitude as to what position the party should take this year. He has declined to make a statement, but the information herein comes from other sources. It is to the effect that he has indicated privately that he intends to stand by the position he took when he ran for president before, which was for retention of the Eighteenth amend-
Hoover Has Obligation
His policy is to discourage discussion of prohibition as a party question. Feeling on both sides is so strong that there are no other ways to deal by sation prior of the convention.
Both Parties Split
The modificationists realize that Hoover would be seriously embarrassed if they tried to change his position so they cultivate the doctrine that the candidate has nothing to do with shaping the platform, that being an honest person, therefore, there is no reason to bring Mr Hoover into the controversy.
The Republican party is as bad split over Prohibition as the Demo crate. The managers want to gudge Democrats in favor of the Demo sides. Therefore, many of the Modi-ficialists and those of the more cautious ones who want a more referendum on the issue, are reluctant to out consulting the President. They feel that if any reasonable plank calling for a re-judgment of the question were issued in this platform Mr. Hoover would endorse.
Quill Club Deadline March 17

The tank was used in the gas plant and periodically was cleaned of chemical contaminants by the manufacture of illuminating gases. The gases included sulphuric fumes. For this work the company obtained worker training and training in the city. Most of the workers on the job today were obtained in this manner. Rudolph Walch, 40, negro, said he had seen a small fire in one corner. "Come on let's get out of here before something happens," he said he shouted. He scroumed over the top of the tank and had just reached the ground when the dull roll of the explosion came. He

'Europeans Reach Mental Maturity Earlier'—Dengler
Vienna Lecturer Also Says That Young Americans Are Happier Than Foreigners
"Young men and women of Europe reach mental maturity approximately two years earlier than do those of America," said Dr. Paul Dengler, of the University of Vienna, yesterday in a lecture on "European Youth."
WOMEN EMANCIPATED
"Another difference between them is that young Americans are happier than their foreign counterparts, because over the long term they learn inadequacy of food, and especially because they are early made to realize their realities in school and education matters."
Speaking to a large audience in Fraser theater, Dr. Dengler explained that three noticeable characteristics have marked recent social developments in Europe. The evolution of the female workforce, the school, and school, the emancipation of women, and a more sensible attitude of youth toward intoxicating beverages.
New Freedom to Children
Parents and teachers realize that the children have not been allowed freedom of development and a new attitude to school. They school which Dr. Dengler called the "sit stilily." A compromise has been made between the authority and the freedom of the child.
In the youth movement of Germany, started at the beginning of the 20th century by high school boys, an attempt has been made to promote the education of olden days. In summer, thousands of youth wander from place to place, staying at nights in special student lodges, proclaiming the ideals and policies of the move-
Youth Enlisted in Politics
The Russian and Italian movements differ from the German in that they are instruments of the state serving the interests of their nation. There are three million young communists in the soviet crusade against religion and in the behalf of the laborers.
Lack of national, social, and racial understanding has caused the nation's leaders to be narrow-minded. The only hope of the young men and women is that they will be able to build up a better world than that into which they were born.
Poor Austrians Are Lucky
"It is good luck to be poor in Vienna," said Dr. Paul L. Dengler, of that city, in his lecture on "Social Trends in New Austria" in Central Adelaide. Dr. Dengler explained the system which is being used by the Socialist party in Vienna at the present time. He described the community apartment buildings, provided for the poor, and the gardens, provided for the rich, and are constructed so that each room gets the sunshine sometime during the day. The inner open air courts provide a safe playground for the children, and a nurse is in charge all day while the building is occupied.
A kindergarten system is conducted in Vienna which permits employed mothers to leave their children inexperienced and small change to do away with the charity idea. There are swimming and wading pools all through the city. Vasari outside the city for the poor. The government cares for the sick, the crippled, and the aged. A system of social insurance is a protection to the em-
"How do they get the money for such generous operations?" asks Dr. Dengler.
"Everything is taxed but air," he explains. "The rich pay. Exclusive luxuries, expensive amusements, and servants are taxed in proportion to the wealth you see, the operations supported by the wealthy people of the city."
Sees Bright U.S. Future
"I see a bright prospect for America in the future, but I do not see such a bright one for Europe; you are going up and we are going down," said Dr Paule L. Dengler, visiting Carnegie professor, in his talk this morning to an audience of 20,000 people on "Differences in Cultural Problems in Europe and America."
"It seems to me," he continued, "that America in the past decades has developed highly in civilization, but not as much in culture as we have."
When asked if he thought American colleges work toward the education of future engineers, Mr. Kushner marked, "I think there are certain forces at work, but as a whole, I think it is not true that colleges are now trying to make money more quickly than the speed and money complex.
