U.'s got 'em, "says Ralph Kiene, secretary of the Owl society, junior men's honorary. Beginning again this year the Owls, backed by the Ku Ku's and K-Club, are reviving this time honored tradition of American colleges. Hats have not been worn on this campus since 1944, although the practice started in 1908. This year freshmen men will buy receipts in the registration line. The bats can then be obtained by presenting this receipt at Ober's or Carl's in Lawrence. Money raised from the sale of hats will be spent for student activities Kiene said. Must Have Hats By Monday All freshmen will be expected to have their hats by Convocation time Monday night. They will be a standard article of daytime wear from then through homecoming, Nov. 22, Kiene stated. The hats are blue with red "K"s and red bills, and are properly worn on the back of the head. worried on the board. The tradition of freshman hats began at the University in 1908 and continued through the years with only a few short breaks. They became the focal point of the "hazing" activities which were finally abolished by University officials. by University of In the past freshmen caught without their red and blue hats could look forward to several terrible fates. Disfranchisement in campus elections was one of the milder forms of punishment. Punished Frosh Offenders Members of various campus organizations became the self-appointed "executioners" of the more flagrant offenders. Long paddle lines and impromptu "blanket parties" became the order of the day. One year further differentiation was made between freshmen. In addition to their hats, all College men wore white buttons, engineers wore yellow, medics red, and pharmacy purple. Before every football game this ensemble was supplemented by 12 inch ribbons. Plans are not yet complete on the taller details of enforcement this year, but according to Kiene all Freshmen "had better have their hats by Monday night . . . or else!" Vets Will Stretch Last VA Check Subsistence checks for veterans enrolling in the University this fall will be delayed until sometime during the first week of November. This delay was termed "normal procedure" by the University's veterans' bureau. Cause for delay is that classes will not start until after the middle of September. This will throw University veterans on the October payroll which will not come until the first of November. The majority of veterans can not expect pay before Nov. 1 to 10. A lucky few may be on the September payroll, coming out around the first week in October. In this class are those veterans who will receive subsistence payment for the partial month of September. Applications for leave pay at the end of Summer Session may also bring in another check before the November date. The Veteran's Administration announced that no checks for student veterans will be considered late until after November 10. Local veterans' agencies can be of no help to veterans in obtaining their checks until after that date. "And our fraternity offers access to the most complete 'file' on the campus."

"We won't know until sometime next week exactly how we stand." Mrs. Faye Netzer, director of the housing bureau said today, "but so far we have taken care of all applicants.

Mrs. Netzer said that there had been several Lawrence persons who had taken up the University's offer to lend a bed and mattress to anyone who had a room but not the necessary furniture.

Another school year is at hand; a year which will be busy and happy and full of problems. It will be a year which for each of you will bring added responsibilities, added opportunities, new friendships new power, and growth of personality and character. To The New Students: Each of you, at the year's end, must account to yourself for the time and money and effort which you somehow will have expended. My best wish for you on this opening day is that the coming months will be filled with such profitable activity that at the year's end you will be reasonably satisfied, each with your own progress and purpose.
