THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
COLEMAN OF WICHITA SPEAKS OF IDEALISM
President of Safety Lamp Manu facturing Co. Speaks to Economics Students
TRACES BUSINESS SLOGAN
NUMBER 150.
Morals of Trade World Are Be coming Better Year by Year
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS. WEDNESDAY, MAY 10. 1929.
"The most practical thing of today is idealism," said W. C. Coleman, president of the Coleman Safety Lamp Manufacturing Company, of Wichita, in a talk to students of economics this morning at 9:30 ock. He was brought home by his mother, Gamma Epsilon Roa, women's economics society.
Mr. Coleman we talk much about idealism today. Heteroforet has not been regarded as very practical in every day business. His evolution of business slogans. "Fifty years ago," said Mr. Coleman, "the business slogan was "every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost." Twenty years ago the slogan was "I'm a god and live the slogan is 'lieve and help live.'"
In speaking of business in this country, Mr. Coleman declared that men are beginning to recognize that after all the most important thing is human interest and human engineering. With an understanding of this, the problems of production, distribution, and in fact all constructive work will take care of itself." "After all," he said "we are all fellow social beings, connected with the other. We cannot be selfish if we want to be fully realized." The fact is shown by the activities of the many municipal business clubs, such as the Rotary Club, whose motto is, "He profits most who serves best."
Continuing, Mr. Coleman said that we are getting a new conception of liberty. Today we look with contempt upon the person who does not do with his own to help his neighbor as well as himself. In speaking of life's relations, the manufacturer told of the only three which the existent man relates to his brother; second, to each other, and third, to the material things about us. When men ignore the spiritual values of life, have no consideration for their fellow men, and misuse material things, then trouble begins.
To offset this, Mr. Coleman declare that the principles of family relations, love and sacrifice should be extended to economic and social organization. After all we can consider ourselves as one big family. "Aside from the two factors, labor and capital" he said, "no business or institution can succeed without a third factor, which is support and good will of the community. Everyone must be loved to the other, everyone should be faith, compassion and sympathy for fellow man. There must be co-operation between every element and force in order that accomplishment may be realized efficiently."
In speaking of international relations, Mr. Coleman said, "No nation liveth unto itself. Commercial prosperity of this country can only be achieved by helping other nations solve their commercial problems."
JOURNALISTS GIVEN PRESENT
Get Newspapers issued in 1865 and 1901
Two interesting issues of newspapers are to be given to the department of Journalism through Mr. W. H. Martin of the Museum. They consist of 'the New York Herald for Saturday' April 15, 1865, which contains a full account of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and a copy of the letter from President T. H. 701 which gives the story of President McKinley's assassination.
After glancing at the heads used in the New York Herald of 1865 it is very plain what has been done to change the front of the paper. The same thing can be done with editoe calls attention to the main story of Lincoln's murder by heading his story "Important," then he continues down the column with pine sub heads which abruptly stop with a deep groove, and are only three main heads on the front page, one headed "Extra" being the telegraphic account of the happening.

Cobb fell over a hedge into the corner of a sorority house and, after asking for sheets, Cannon said. Cannon would not say whether or not Cobb attempted to use his own weapon.
Cobb's home was at Birmingham Ala. He came to Stillwater with his wife, formerly Miss Bertie Sue Wilson of Enid, Okla., about two years ago. Gordon's home is at Miami, OKa.

'CHANCE' IS BEST DETECTIVE
French Official Declares Fiction Is Wrong
Paris, May 16. (United Press)—"Who is the best detective of modern times?" was asked of M. Farallac, director of the judicial police of Paris, corresponding somewhat to the clothes planes of an American "Boston."
"Sherlock Holmes isn't in the runin with Chance," continued Farraclie, who has brought to successful tern cases of the last ten years. "It is easy for a novelist gifted with a certain amount of imagination and knowledge of criminality to solve a crime problem which he has invented himself.
"His name is Chance," was the instant reply.
"Writers of detective fiction make the mistake of devoting too much attention to material signs or clues, and they have to make the esteas and so on and the logical deductions to be made therefrom are the A. B. C. of the ordinary police department."
"No, after all, Chance is the wizard of crime detection, present, past and future. His divinity is named Lock!

PASSION PLAY TO COMMENCE
Production Starts Tomorrow in Bavarian Village
Oberammergau, May 10. (United Press.)—After an interval of eleven years, the Bavarian villagers of Oberammergau will tomorrow renew the production of their famous Passion play.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the 700 participants in the production exercise learned to walk and until the end of the season will attempt to live the parts assigned to
them in the story or the life of Christ.
Anton Lang, who became world famous through his portrayal of Christ in the play of 1900 and 1904, was the principal part. Andress Lang will assume the role of Peter, Guldig Mayri, Judas, Mara Vert, Mary, and Paula Rendl, the Maldegale.
Until 1910 the play had been produced every ten years since 1834. A production was planned for 1920 but the war led to a postponement.
Every ten years there are of needs sity, many changes in the cast. An Ant Lang, ties this year with Joseph Mayr, in being chosen for the part o. He was a student at the University of Mayr, it is said, died of a broken heart when he was no longer selected for the title role. Johann-Zwink, on one occasion, so closely identified himself with his part—Juden, that carried him to the scene, the scene, tried to hanz himself.
In earlier times the play was performed outside the village church on a platform of rough boards. Now it is presented in an auditorium seating
The play begins at eight o'clock every morning and lasts until six o'clock at night, with two hours interval for lunch.

LOUVAIN FUND BELOW QUOTA
Contributions Still Received a Chancellor's Office
The final results of the Louvain Fund campaign in the University total thirty dollars. This fund has been turned over to Miss Moody in the Chancellor's office and further contributions will be received there.
There is still doubt whether Kansas will have an escusecheon on the walls of the Louvain Library, which is now under construction near Brussels, Belgium. The fund in this country is under the direction of Nicholas Murray Buttes of Columbia University, where thousands have contributed. Similar contributions have come from Princeton, Yale and Harvard, and eventually all the larger universities throughout the country.
Instructors J. Neale Carmon and Roy Towne express some disappointment that the fund did not reach a higher figure here. They are of the opinion that the student body of the College should stand fully the purpose of the memorial fund. The fund was collected by members of the Cerole Francais.

Jason Roger's Contest to Journalism Students Won by Geneva Kunkle
44 PAPERS ARE SUBMITTED
Publisher Congratulates Students on Grasp of News- paper Management
The prizes were given by Mr. Rogers for the best answers to his question of, "If a competitive newspaper or competitive newspapers continually duplicated every new department or store, did they do? Mr. Rogers explained that the Globe had many such experiences in recent years, and he was rather perplexed to know how to handle the situation. The answers by the students here were in the form of short sentences, but about fifty to five hundred words.
The winners of prizes given by Jason Rogers, publisher of the New York Globe, to students of the depart-ment, were announced this morning. Gene Kunke won the first place which carried with it a prize of $25; Raymond Calene took the second prize of $10; and John McCarthy the third prize of $10. All are seniors.
Forty-four papers were submitted by the students of the department. The opinions of the winning contestants were that the thing to do in the case that Mr. Rogers described is to go ahead and "saw wood" without any concern about the仪式的 exacerbation as they as far in the rear as possible.
In a telegram to Prof. L. N. Flint, head of the department of Journalism, Mr. Rogers said concerning this year's content, "I heartily congratulate the students on their sound grasp of the course and the campus management, as demonstrated in the uniform excellence of all papers submitted."
Mr. Rogers became interested in the department of journalism here several years ago, and last year he opened the Rogers' contests for the students in the department. The contest last year consisted of essays of about one thousand words on the subject of "Journalism Tomorrow." About seventy papers were entered by students who were entitled to the announcement of competition provided for only one prize. Josephine Nelson won the first prize, Joe Boyle took second, and Addison Massey placed third.
Mr. Rogers has made no definite provision for the continuance of the contests, and the assumption is that he will offer the p rizes as long as a proper interest among the students is shown.
The students of the department considered the contest this year to be of a more difficult nature than that of last year, although the papers last year were much longer. The question was whether it would be practical nature, and is one that metropolitan newspapers face continually.
MEMORIAL PAYMENTS DUE
Committee Has Difficulty In Meeting Demands
The third payment on the Memorial Fund is now due and according to George O. Foster the students are not responding as they should. The average daily receipts have been about $500, and this is much too small. The money for the third payment will be received since it isn't the committee is having difficulty in meeting the demands made upon it.
Mr. Foster in speaking of the matter said, "We are against it financially and something will have to be done. The students keep putting it off from one day to another and sometimes forget it entirely. When they get notice that their money is due they should send a check at once."
Payments may be made at the Registrar's office or mailed to the Registrar.
