MAY DEPICT STUDENT LIFE IN K. U. MOVIES
8
Members of Faculty Express Favorable Opinions of Proposed Plan
Possibilities of producing a motion picture story, history or pantomine of the University of Kansas and its students, depicting the life and pursuits of four thousand students, as well as showing 'the beauty of the campus and buildings, receive different opinions from members of the faculty.
"The public would not want a romantic love story with the couple getting married at the end of the fifth reel in a motion picture of the University of Alabama," O'Leary of the department of English. "However, a photographing of the buildings, the campus, and the student body, with an eye to giving the people of the state a true picture would be a good thing." he continued.
"I think a motion picture of life at the University would be just the thing," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray. "The picture would serve as an exemplar of the University, if it was sent to many of the smaller towns in the state."
Instigation for a motion picture of the University came about as a reaction to the information that K. S. A. C. had prepared one, with students as the actors, to advertise the college all over the state.
The University of Michigan is at the present time producing a motion picture story right on the campus, depicting college life as it actually is. The promoters clerical pictures on college life were colored out of all semblance to the true student existence. Hence, their determination to produce a picture which would be the counterpart of college life as it actually ex-
Many of the eastern colleges are likewise in the act of producing pictures in their own right.

FAVORS A SHIP SUBSIDY
Veteran Operator Approves Ship Plan of Harding
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
San Francisco, March 21. (United Press)—The passing of the ship subsidy bill proposed by President Harding will lapse from the mud flats many of the a splendid freighters now warped idly to their moorings, according to Captain Robert Dollard, chairman of most powerful factors in Oriental shipping today.
Captain Dollar recently returned from a visit to Washington, where he took part in the conference between President Harding and Chairman Luker and the members of the $30,000 fund, formally formed by Pacific coast shipmers.
Captain Dollar, following his visit to Washington, renounced his former opposition to ship subsidy. He now believes that it is the best means at hand of maintaining the American merchant marine.
"So far as the interests of most Pacific shipiers are concerned, we do not feel that a ship subsidy is imperative," said Captain Dollar. "However, it is necessary to the shipping business on the Atlantic coast.
"We have run our business on the most efficient lines, and have no complaint to make provided the government will ship Shipboard vessel to private owners at a reasonable price. However, we believe that it would be unreasonable to impose a proportion of a subsidy when such opposition would hurt the idea of building up a national merchant marine, and a naval reserve.
"Undoubtedly much of the great sea tracac of the British Empire was built up through subsidy. The plan outlined by President Harding seems eminently fair$^1$ and should soon put the American flag back on the seas."
Captain Dollar's view of the situation is shared by the shipping interests of the Pacific coast generally.

TO HAVE BETTER MOVIES?
When the Public Changes Its Popular Taste
BY ROBERT A. DONALDSON (United Press Stag Correspondent, San Francisco, March 21 (United Press))-When the public wants decent motion pictures, it will get them, and not until then.
That is the opinion of Hobart Bosworth, veteran actor and producer. "The public thinks the motion picture industry is rotten," said Bosworth. "Well, the motion picture industry knows the public is rotten."
"It is a disagreeable truth, that it so many films are being made with the sex appeal because it is the cheatiest when such films are shown."
"As long as this is true, the public is going to get that kind of films."
"Personally, I believe that the public is just beginning to adopt a "humbus down" attitude on this type of film. It is a good thing. It is much easier than it used to be up its mind to do this, than to have它 done by some outside influence.
"We need better films. They are the great source of pleasure and enjoyment, of clean amusement and education in America today. Their future will be along the same lines as the embodiment of great literature or drama."
"The reason the Hollywood colony has received such unfavorable pub-
