... what's more, class, I demand neatness!
Movie Corner
The Pajama Game (Warner Brothers), now playing at the Varsity, is a toe-tapping, razzle-dazzle, multicolor musical romp.
Doris Day and John Raitt, playing the romantic leads, match wits as the 1-woman grievance committee of Local 343, Amalgamated Shirt and Pajama Workers of America, and the factory's ambitious young supervisor.
A few lines on her forehead and an occasional quaver in her voice give away the fact that at 33, Doris Day is no longer the cute little girl next door. Nevertheless, as the hard-singing, hard-bargaining grievance committee, she romances her way into a $7\frac{1}{2}$-cent-an-hour raise and the heart of supervisor Raitt.
Pajama Game is the story of life, love and very little work in a madcap nightwear factory in Dubuque, Iowa. If labor trouble can be like that shown in the movie, leave us go to Dubuque.
Many of the stage show's cast were retained for the movie. The comedy team of Carol Haney and Eddie Foy Jr. prance through their numbers with the ease gained from 1,000 Broadway performances.
Despite all the haggagging about 71/2 cents, the plot is insignificant. The show's big guns are its comedy, singing and dancing.
Pajama Game gets the nod as the funniest, prettiest musical comedy in a long, long time.
Confidentially, They're Guilty
Larry Boston
In Los Angeles, Calif. a jury has spent a week in deliberation and as yet has not returned a verdict. On trial are Confidential and Whisper magazines, Publisher's Distributor Corp. and Fred and Marjorie Meade. The charge is conspiring to commit criminal libel and to publish lewd and obscene material.
After a trial that lasted six weeks it wouldn't seem that it would take a jury more than a week to come up with a verdict. If the jurors would look at a copy of Confidential it seems like it would leave little doubt in their minds that it was lewd and obscene.
If the people that publish the trash that goes under the name of a magazine didn't commit criminal libel in many of their stories "exposing" movie stars, the term should be redefined.
Nothing could be lower than to make money by exposing other people's moral weaknesses. That is going under the assumption that any of the stories are true, which is doubtful.
Even if the jury does return a verdict of guilty, the most punishment the defendants could receive is five years in jail and $5,000 fines. That won't guarantee that the two magazines will be barred from publication. Someone else could take over publication and continue to dig up and print dirt about people that are well-known enough to make a good story.
It would be a great justice to the American people if in some way all such publications could be barred. Certainly they give nothing of value to the public, and the damage they do to reputations can be irreparable.

Letters To The Editor
Editor:
Segregation Here?
The past few weeks have seen the papers full of the deplorable conditions in Little Rock as the South still tries to cling to the last remnants of its ancient stand on segregation. Many of us have expressed feelings against the incidents that occurred in certain areas of the South. Yet, how can we condemn the South's attitude when the same thing is permitted to happen right under our own noses?
KU's football team journeyed to TCU over the weekend. However, the Kansas University team did not go to Fort Worth, Texas. In its place went two teams, one was a white team and the other was a Negro team. I say two teams went because essentially that was what they were, for if they had been one team that played together as a team, they would have lived together as a team. That is not what happened, for one team stayed in one hotel, while the five members of the other team stayed in another.
KU played an athletic contest in a city that segregates Negroes from whites. I hold that this never should have been allowed by the athletic department and the school administration. Of the hundreds of good teams in the country, why should a game be scheduled with a southern opponent who enforces bias, when they could just as easily be scheduled with northern or western teams that live by the democratic way of life?
Any coach who would play a team and see part of his own team treated as if they weren't fit to be on his team, has lost any support I would give him. Also, the head of a university who preaches tolerance and
then permits the scheduling of games under segregated conditions has lost my respect.
It seems to me that a coach who respected his players would say that his players are a team, and as such they will stay together as a team. And if they can't stay together as a team, then we'll have to play elsewhere. Mather can learn a lot from Dick Harp—a man with backbone. He did not permit his basketball team to be segregated in any city they played in.
The ambitious assistant attorney general that proposed University faculty be removed from duties after three traffic ticket violations may not become Chancellor of the University, but he has a good chance of becoming KU Student Body President.

Some suggested the Daily Kansan print more cheesecake, with the slogan being, "All the nudes that's fit to print."

when it's not,
And sometimes the balmy spring
and sometimes in the fall.
"I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot. Answer is cool."
Song to be sung at the Nightshirt Parade:
I jump right in between the sheets with nothing on at all."

A girl we know measures 36-24-36, which means she probably would look just as good standing on her head.
I'm sure Mather would have no difficulty in getting a coaching job at one of the schools behind the "cotton curtain," since he conforms to the attitudes of the South. Fellow Jayhawkers, he is your coach, not mine.
