SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1925
While the owner of the Boverock theater is having his arguments with the ten members of the local stage hands' union, the world of drama and music comedy moves right along—but not in the direction of Lawrence. The road shows turn back at Kansas City, or pass Lawrence up for Topaka—or Emporia.
THE PUBLIC HOLDS THE SACK
New York, even wicked and wild New York, insists upon its dramatic culture. But Lawrence, dignified seat of learning, has its determined theater manager and doughnut union, and no road shows. Oh, we forget. It did oce "Able's Irish Rose," which was at least a funny show a few reasons ago. Well, it is comforting to University students to read the theater ads for the swiftly passing season in Kansas City, and, seeing the names of "Mitzi," "Mantell," "The White Cargo" and "Bloomos Time," realize that in the rest of the wide, if less doody world, the practice of drama still survivens, unions and all.
Perhaps other cities don't have theater managers who don't like labor unions, or perhaps, there, stage hands never quarrel with the management. Or it may be that they don't have show monopolies like Lawrence Hass. For then a manager can take advantage of his peculiar position to right to the last ditch for his personal convictions in spite of everything and everybody, including university cultural courses and students.
Yet even where there is a monopoly possibly the manager's business sense tells him that the public will not too long be breaking down the apposition of its culture appetite. Just possibly in other places, even though they are not content of culture, that is to say university cities, both the management and the union officials have a large enough sense of public responsibility to come to some terms. There is the key to the local dispute, in the opinion of the Kansan.
The history of trade union disputes has been that usually a compromise is reached, each side sacrificing some ground. We believe that settlement of this sort is possible in the local trouble. For other cities have good dramatic productions, and union labor, and even prosperous theater owners. We believe as "the party of the third part" in this dispute that we have a right to insist upon a settlement.
This is the basis for the Kansan's policy in the trouble. Charges that the Kansan has taken any other position than this are unfounded. It tried through reporters to get expression of both sides of the dispute. The union secretary consented to an interview, Mr. Dickenson would not. We do not lay the blame altogether on Mr. Dickenson. Neither we concur in the opinion of our worthy contemporary, the Journal World, that the union is acting as an unofficial sensor, or rather, executor, for plays in Lawrence.
Not that the students have no other grievances in the situation of dramatic and movie art in Lawrence. No, we are not exactly pleased when we pay week after week fifty cent admission prices for pictures that are often shown at a profit in other localities for as low as thirty three cents. Nor do we enjoy week after week the "strange coincidence" of poor pictures on week ends and better pictures on school nights.
Finally the dramatic arts department of the university is not exactly over-joyed at the prospect of paying out two hundred dollars a night for
renting the Bowerock. In fact the latter act of joyfulness in that section of university life is so great that the talk of a campus theater is growing. The fact is being pointed on that appropriations for a new auditorium have already been made, while auditorium might embody a theater. Really the theater situation in the University would be funny if it were not also pathetic. Student hear speakers like President vo Klemmiid, declare art to be a vitt part of education. Then they g down town to "Aibic's Irish Rose!"
INDIAN SUMMER? UGH!
Rain, rain, go away and come around some other day; for the college students want to play. And while you are at it, make it a hot day in December. For the love of Walt and Skeezix, what good is an Indian summer if it rains?
And certainly it is Indian summne now. P. Connor says so himself We really wish to thank Mr. Connor for getting rid of all the snow and cold blasts, but it certainly is a mean trick to send all this rain. Of course the rain is not as bad as the snow; but still that makes it a sort out of of the frying pan into the fire, and we don't like it a bit.
To be out and out frank about it, what we want is real old-fashioned Indian summer like P. Connor's grandfather used to have; and we want these Indian summer days long and in large groups. And if Mr. Connor won't do anything about this Indian summer we are going right out to Huskell and get something done about it.
If some Charlestonie couples would shorten their kicks from six feet to three feet, there would be fewer fatalities at the Varsity dances.
Once upon a time students of served campus parking regulations but that was long ago. One time care were parked in accordance with the simple rules prescribed by custom.
PARK ON THE RIGHT
Today cars are parked on the campa anyway. Their arrangement gives the impression that students do not know their right hands from their left. Instead of observing the simple "Keep to the Right" rule the campus driver not infrequently cuts across the street and parks his car on the left side.
To save a few precious steps he parks his car in a vacant space on the left side of the street, instead of driving a few rods further and parking correctly on the right side of the street. Confusion, danger to cars and pedestrians, and momentary traffic blockades that result when the driver attempts to move his car seem to be of no concern. The few seconds must be saved.
Some action should be taken to enforce the parking rules. Prosecution of violators by the Student Council, if carried out strictly, might have the desired effect. A University campus traffic officer, recommended by the Student Council recently, might solve the problem. If public opinion cannot bring about the change, then some action must be taken.
Again the piper pipes and student fascinated by the novelty an strangeness of his tune, follow in hi wake. This time the piper plays to "Charleston."
THE PIED PIPER
Each week finds an increasing number of couples at the Varsity pawing and kicking in characteristic Charleston fashion; each day a larger number in fraternity chapters and *oming houses warp and wrench their bodies in following the distortions of this dance. An enormous prestige has suddenly attached itself to the loose jointed individual who can sue carefully mish the shuffling and contortions of a negro hoe down.
Rhythm and grace, the primary essentia of dancing, are conspicuously absent; a generous number of casualties inevitably follow an attempt at it upon a ball room floor, for flying heels *should* painful blows; its ex pounders must twist into deformities that rival the repugnant appearance
of Dicken's immortal dwarf, Daniel Quilp.
The question "Why do you like the Charleston?" brings a variety of answers. "It's new." "It's different." "Everyone's doing it." "It's all the rage on the Hill." and others swell the list.
Dancing has had a vast appeal ever since the pagan rites of Dionyone countless centuries before Christ. It can be a very satisfying, very beautiful thing when it seeks to express rhythm and motion and grace. But when it loses all sense of these fundamentals, it degenerates into the lowest form of amusement.
At present, dancing has gone to the extreme of bad form. But the pendulum is bound to swing back, and graceful, rhythmic dancing will once more become the order of the day.
Plain Tales From the Hill
--on the Hill
During the absence of a sorority house mother recently a fraternity chapereau was invited to stay over night at the house.
One of the fair sex is heard saying to her companion, "I'm just crazy to begin rifle practice." The reply was, "Yes, that is what I think."
After an hour of the censeless chatter, she announced that at the first house all she heard was "She she she". The surname of her husband, the nonsource house was "He he he".
A rattle-brained Freshman asked an upper-clasman acquaintance to go duck hunting with him and the upper-clasman replied, "I guess I duck if I went hunting with you, all right."
Book Notes
The Strolling Saint, by Rafael Sabalini; Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston.
Sabatini goes back to the time of the Borgias and the height of the Italian Renaissance in his latest historical romance, "The Strawling Saint." The story is related by Agostino D'Anguissola, tyrant of Mondolo and lord of Carmina in the state of Pianenza.
Destined almost from infancy for the church by his mother, Agosimi grew up excluded from the world and was abandoned by her father who has apparently been killed in a fruitless attempt to shutter the joke of the Pope. When he has reached the age of 16, Agosimi is sent to St. Joseph's Notre Dame Filanti, for further instruction.
Here begins his first introduction to the world. At the house of Fiftiant he becomes acquainted with the young and beautiful wife of the tutor and meets his cousin, Cosimo D'Angeli, and their daughter Agostini soon becomes disillusioned, renouncing the world to become a hermit. Finally, sparred on by the warlike Galeotto, who is in reality his father, the boy at last takes up the profession of arms and moves rapidly to a logical conclusion.
Carte du Jour
Sabatini has not made this book so real as some of his earlier novels, particularly "Scaramouche." The action moves from the reader to the reader has persisted half of the book. Apostino is almost overshadowed at times by his father, who seems most vivid and human. The heroine is just one of the author's insidious colorless feminine characters. A. V. M.
Yes, it's true that she'll know you paid just five calling cards for her Parker Lady Duofold, but do you really think she thinks the nonemity costs more? Then you'd better look farther.
"Sermons of a Chemist" is by Edwin E. Skosson, B. S., 90, 'M. S., 92, who editor of the Science Service in Washington. The religious significance of chemical progress is interpreted by a popular scientist.
"Camel's hair" brushes are made from the hair of the tails of squirrels.

The Finale Hop Is Providing More Popular Than the Charleston
—but that is because it is so much easier.
We can teach it to you in a very short time.
Take a few lessons now, so when you go home for the Thanksgiving holidays you can show 'em what's what in K. U. collegiate dancing.
We also teach the Charleston, which is much easier to learn than it appears; and it is really a good idea for the true collegiate man to be able to do both.
