Guy Bates Post Tells High-Lights of Stage Career
No. 93
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23. 1993
Actor Finds Life Happiness in Chosen Profession; Stick to College His Advice
"I have been very happy on the stage," Guy Bates Post told a Kanan reporter yesterday, smiling as though to confirm his statement. "I can truthfully say that I am just as stage-struck today as I was when I went on the stage thirty-four years ago."
As many young men have done,
A Mr. Post studied to be a lawyer,
naus "Law was frightfully irksome to me, he confessed." "I went into an erotic office but I soon tired of it. The annuity has wonderful fascinations, you prove know."
the c<sub>j</sub> Imagination Is Big Asset
Hep Mr. Post believes in a college education;iation; I think a young man should of Menlo college as early in life as pos- Dependent. At that time his associations C; Mmean much to him, but his appren- diceship in life must be served after si- tence. He has always been an Allen dramatic literature is an important Lewl part of education, because it degen. develops the imagination. Imagin- laion, by the way, is the biggest cha-asset of an actor. He does not have a school education, but he Sebo must have imagination."
T2. When asked what he thought about Fran the moving pictures, Mr. Post-relied that they possess wonderful priz possibilities. According to the actor, to I those who criticize the movies so severely forget that they are new
six compared to the stage. "The motic 'picture is like an un-tacked negra hea tiva.' The actor appears without re touching. That is why it is im re touching. To be successful, the actors to stairs to be successful on the screen Rel It takes a young person to photo de graph work. Older people photo istry graph like the 'dickens.'"
Climax Is a Soul Play
In speaking of "The Climax," Mr. Post said, "I choose the play because I love it. That is why I always play the ideal plays—plays that point the desired rather than what to avoid. I would not produce a propaganda play or a play of the underworld. I don't enjoy them. The Climax is as different from my last play as night is from day. It is a soul play of the artistic world. It will make you laugh and cry, and you will leave the theater with satisfaction feeling." He also told me that he thought three dollars was an awful price for a cast of four people. I told him that diamonds come in small packages. I feel that I am worth three dollars, perhaps even more. I think I shall raise my admission price next season." Mr. Post continued, "I don't know how prices are elsewhere, but I am concerned not going down, in the Post family."

Paris Conference May Bring About New Relationships
America and Allies Inquire Into Germany's Finance; Prestige of U. S. Is Sought
(United Press)
Washington, Jan. 23—The American-Allied inquiry of private experts into Germany's financial situation—now meeting in Paris and elsewhere in Europe—may result in a new basis for relations between the United States and the Old World observers here believe.
A readiness on the part of the United States to have American brains and influence made available in the region is a vital maintenance peace in Europe, but refusal to allow this government and country to be involved in European politics generally, or to pledge America's strength and power in advance in any situation.
The basis of such relationship, is the opinion of students of the situation, may be as follows;
Neither Isolation Nor Intrigue
Such a policy would be neither cold isolation nor involvement in European politics and intrigue. Yet the United States has some time ago in a statement from the White House that the United States had accepted the invitation to have private American experts participate in the German reparations investigation, a howl went up from the United States to European politics that the Administration was taking the United States back into European embroilments.
However, with repeated insistence by President Coolidge that this is not the case, members of the Cabinet has been pushed at least to a considerable degree. The President in several statements to the press at the White House has emphasized that the participation of the private experts in the reparations inquiry does not mean that the United States can entrust its people to entrance into European affairs.
High officials of this governeto believe that there is a good deal of the ridicule in connection with the constant agitation over the question. "Shall or shall not the United States enter European affairs."
Traditions No Prevention
However, it is stated that there is a great difference between the traditional American foreign policy of abstinence from European affairs and the policy of former President Wilson for full participation of the United States in the problems of the Old World.
The traditions of the country is well known, they say, that America shall not become involved in European politics. But this well-defined policy did not prevent the United States from taking a full part in the Algeciras Conference on Tangier in 1906, for instance.

Therefore, it is expected here, the private status of the American experts in the reparations inquiry now going on may very well bring about a new American policy towards Europe—a policy of "non-involvement, but co-operation when helpful and practicable."

Racial Problems Discussed Again in Open Forum
White and Colored Student Talk Over Questions of Understanding Each Other
Lack of understanding between the groups, said one of the speakers, is one of the chief causes for the racial prejudices. For this reason separate schools for the negro do not better this lack of understanding.
Racial problems and relations was for the second time the topic of discussion at the open forum, Tuesday, Jan. 22, at Myers hall.
"I know you so much better than you know me," said a colored student. "I read your newspapers, listen to your ministers, go into your homes, perhaps, to work. But you know nothing of our lives. You know only the negro criminals and servants. You never read negro letters, hear negro speeches, or meet the better class of negro citizens."
Clash on Co-Racial Education
One white student argued the point that the line in racial relations must be drawn somewhere to maintain purity on both sides and contended that education was the line of demarcation.
Praver Service Wednesday
Another negro speaker said that it is social justice—not equality—that his group desires. A heated debate over the negro in the social world followed.
Our colored sokeman said that, since the negroes had had a part in the making of this nation, they did not like to feel that the foreigners would have had a part in the same Germans that they shot at in defense of this country during the war may now come to the United States and will be granted many of the rights and privileges which they occupied, was another objection raised.
The meeting closed with a short prayer, led by Ruth Terry, president of the Y. W. C. A. Announcement of a prayer service, to be held Wednesday morning in Henley hall was made.
