DETROIT'S PLIGHT
The dilemma of unemployment has received its share of notoriety from the death regions, but it is in the industrial centers that the depression is the more widespread. The city of Detroit is especially hard-hit; figures released recently show that 606 per cent of its total working population is out of work. Where Henry Ford once employed 120-000 men, he now uses 20,200. Packard Motors has laid off 30 per cent of its men. Nor has the loss of work been the only issue; that bedfellow of unemployment, wage reduction, has been especially lively. The Briggs Body Manufacturing company which makes 43 per cent of the Ford bodies, is paying laborers 20 cents an hour, while the Packard plant awards its metal workers, who once drew $1.10 per hour in good times and worked only five days a week, a mere 15 cents, labors them from 10 to 14 hours daily, and often operates on Sundays and holidays.
The statistics themselves are appalling, but combine them with poverty, hunger, colliness, and inadequate bousing, and the results are unappealable. The dilemma, of course, is not a new story; it is the old inoxorable one, being relieved, of working people in industrial centers facing the hard realism of depression.
Oklahoma has entered the divorce law race. When Idaho and Arkansas passed laws bringing divorce trade to those states, Oklahoma saw a chance to get her share of the profits so now the legislature has passed a bill issuing a divorce after 45 days residence. It won't be such a long trip for Kansans now.
ADVERTISING AMERICA
Again race hatred has claimed the life of a Negro, this time in Mississippi. A mob has committed another breach in the laws of the nation, further impinging progress. Every time a group of white citizens who are supposed to be civilized, revert to the days of the savage, and break the laws which they have made and commit murder by lynching a black man, the break between the Negro and the white man is widened.
Only in a nation where there is little culture, little tradition, and little respect for the rights of others do things like lynchings occur. People in foreign countries know of the America which is called the land of the free and the home of the brave as a cowardly nation where the government permits the people to perpetrate mass injustice.
Lynchings are worse than ordinary crimes, because the single crime is the outbreak of one or a few anti-social individuals, while the lynching is the crime of a community which is looked upon by the whole nation as permissible. The United States cannot afford to advertise herself to foreigners as a nation where the people regard mass crimes favorably.
A detective in Youngsville, Ohio, received a 25 cent reward for returning a midget automobile. He smiled and said, "Oh, well, small car, small reward, I guess." It took him and three other detectives to locate the car and now he is wondering how he can divide the reward money.
Electioneering may not be a moral practice, but there are times when one feels tempted to step in and do a little. One of the chief incentives is the general lack of interest shown on the University campus over the regular elections.
ELECTIONS—
Student government here has not been a howling success, but it has prospered after a fashion. Certainly it is the student's only means of influence
**Win now**
that be that who control our life while we are here. Shouldn't we have a voice in the running of our life?
But perhaps people are chosen who will not jump through the ring in just the way they are supposed to do. Who but the students are in a position to see that such a person doesn't get into the office and get a chance to throw a monkey wrench into the well oiled machinery of the buoy student council?
Then every once in a while along comes a party with more money than the rest and buys up the election. Lots of the students don't like it, and some of them even organize other parties, but if the majority of those who don't come to the party and vote against them will still be in there, won't they?
And maybe sometimes you'll want a chance to sit in one of the council's throne and speak words of wisdom. Wouldn't you like to have all the students come to your precinct on election day and cast all their votes for you? Of course you would, and so would all these other people who run for office every semester. You see, even the Golden Rule applies to the student council election!
As Theodore Dreiser took his chance to slack sainctin Lewis, he probably thought, "Forgive and regret." As "Red" Lewis turned the other check, he probably hit his lip and repented the old maxim of Seneca. "It is better not to see an insult than to avenge it." As they departed, they probably both thought, "Featuring makes no friend-hip."
Baltimore is celebrating "self-denial day" Friday to aid the unemployed. Contributions from citizens will be received in ballot boxes to be set up by the police at street intersections . . . An idea that might well be ad-pied in Kansas.
A hit-and-run driver who ran from his victims in a burning car claims he did not know the car was on fire. No doubt his conscience was well-inaudited.
At the Recital
---
By Lela Hackney
It was obvious from the program of last night's faculty recital that Kansas University had an extraordinary Orcutt, who appeared had night in joint ritual with Luther Leavenley. The two students' contributions to the program some of the works of four Kansas University composers. The number was a beautiful one in itself, and Miss Orcut certainly played it as if she meant it. Her invention of the technical and her techie equally as good.
Miss Orcutt's first numbers were compositions of Dean Donald M. Swarthout, "Gavotte in G Major," *Pride* in C minor, and Kim Kramer, who clawed a choraling one, and the numbers were enough to produce exactly the right effect. The "Prelude" undoubtedly undoubtedly the three.
As her second group, Miss Orcutt chose three Indian skates by Charles Sanford Kimble, a member of thefaceless composer widely known for his adaptations of Indian tunes. The "Kickaback" band's melodic number as was the more plaintive Soxix Flute Serenade and the plaintier Soxix Flute Pretended the group. These were excellent compositions in themselves and they were exceptionally well played by the musicians.
This is the age of modernists, and the composition "Suite Tripartite," by Laurel Everette Anderson certainly was a masterpiece. It was that time that it had been played on a concert program. At times the number jars the auditory nerve unmercifully, but at others they were vivid and quite well written. It is not a composition that a person would enjoy playing for more entertainment, but it is an important thing, these modern numbers, although they are abrupts, keep us from falling into a rut of conservation and trite style. We would never get any place if we did not try something new.
Miss Orcutt did her most delightful bit of playing in Strassus "Thousand and One Night Welts," the concert on Thursday, which another K.C. Alver Preer says, "knots aU'."

Miss Orcutt plays well on the whole, but her position at the piano is not as poised as it should, and at times she almost approaches eccentricity with her playing. There is no doubt as to her accuracy, and she does very accurate work.

Luther Leavengood delighted his audience, as usual. As a violinist he is excellent, and his own charming personality makes him even more of a person to dance to again. His interpretation of "Chaome" by Bital was beautifully done, and he
smoothly executed some very difficult bowing throughout the number. The other two numbers were completed with a single bowing in the program were "Symphonie Espagnole" by Lalo and Ruralia Hungariania by Donanyi. The Lalo and Donanyi numbers were both quite difficult, and they were artistically played to be rounded out with intricate bowing with an encore at the end of the last number, as did Miss Orcutt.
