PAGE THREE
Freshman Page
The first few weeks are the toughest for the new student. To help you get started right, the Daily Kansan devotes this edition and especially this page to information for freshmen. The material appearing here is from your K Book, "The K.U. Bible," edited by Patricia Penney.
K.U. Seems Strange, But You'll Learn Fast
Here you are at K. U. It is all very strange to you now, perhaps, but make the most of every day. It won't be long before you are welcoming a new freshman class.
See how many names you can remember. You'll make friends more quickly that way.
Don't hesitate to ask questions. There is no upperclassman who does not remember his freshman year and who won't be glad to answer your queries.
Keep off the grass and on the walks, if you want your University campus to remain as beautiful as it was when you came.
Don't fail to affiliate yourself with the church of your choice while at college.
Learn all the customs and traditions of your University.
!Warning: no course is as hard or as it’s cracked up to be.
No course is as hard or as easy as it is *inked* up to be.
you are probably a minor. Observe state rules.
Ignorance is bliss, but it's no excuse. Acquaint yourself with University rules and regulations.
The faculty members are your friends—here to help you. It is not "apple polishing" to get acquainted or ask them for advice at any time.
Study daily and you won't have to eram for exams.
Eat at your house. Your family doesn't want to pay for your meals twice.
Be courteous. $ ^{*} $
Don't be afraid to make mistakes You are a freshman only once.
Be friendly to everyone.
Be friendly to everyone.
Have fun.
University Women Subscribe to Creed
The Kansas Women's Creed was written by a University student. The goals incorporated in the creed should be applied to the student life of both men and women alike.
The creed is as follows:
I believe in the women of the University; in their ideals and sincerity of purpose.
Because I am one of them I will strive to be open-minded and charitable.
I will be honest with myself. For
then it follows that I will be honest in my class work and with other people.
I will support the activities of my University in the spirit of service.
I will remember that I am here primarily to study and to learn to think.
I will take time for friendships and pleasure in simple things.
I will broaden my sympathy and interests to include the life which is outside the campus.
Above all I will make my standards such that I should be willing to have every women on the campus adopt them as hers.
Rallies,Parades Bonfires Make K.U. Traditions
Student rallies are held before nearly all big games. The teams like to feel that the student body is backing them to the limit. The bigger and noisier the rally, the harder the teams fight to bring home victory.
Torchlight parades by the Jay Jones and Ku Ku's excellent enthusiasm and school spirit before other games.
The Night Shirt Parade, the night before the first important home football game, is a school tradition. The trail leads from the Campus down the main street of Lawrence to South Park where a bonfire rally is held.
Homecoming and Parents Day are two big events of the football season.
Notable annual event for University women is the W.S.G.A.-Y.W.C.A. (now A.S.C.-Y.W.C.A.) Lantern Parade beginning at the Union Building and weaving to the Chancellors home for a serenade.
Students in the various schools identify themselves by wearing a typical garb. For school of Business students this means straw hats. For Engineers green shirts and canes for the lawyers.
Each year the women of the University take over the ballroom for the Puff Pant Prom at which a girl's date is another girl.
During Commencement week, the senior breakfast, the smoking of the pipe of peace, and the march down the hill to the stadium are experiences long remembered by every alumni.

Welcome Students!
Jayhawkers Operate On Honor System
You are on your honor at the University of Kansas.
No one is going to watch you to see that you live up to that splendid tradition of honor that your Kansas forefathers have established. Those students who have completed their courses in this University have left to you a heritage that is yours to hold high.
You are not being paid to do the work assigned you. You are paying for instruction and guidance from professors who are here to help you. If then, you resort to classroom dishonesty, you are cheating yourselves.
