PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1937 Comment Caps On, Hats Off Influenced by last Saturday's win, the pep convocation was more like the old vim a d viger of the days when the University had a championship football team. In spite of the "K" Club's brief and unwelcome return last Friday to the barbarian custom of paddling, increased freshman rights and a plan agreeable to all has lent a general feeling of encouragement. Caps, instead of paddle-bait, have become a non-compulsory tradition—the kind of tradition that will live because it is a matter of honor. Although still required to observe some sidewalk rules, the freshmen have the power to enforce those rules upon upperclassmen, a concession hitherto ungranted. Freshmen, it's your responsibility. A plan is now before the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A. to grant twelve hundred dollars for general improvements in facilities for intramural activity. Applause For a Fine Idea A great number of students (80 per cent, according to the petition before the councils) use and enjoy the tennis courts, handball courts and the intramural field. More students than ever before are turning to intramurals as a means of relaxation and exercise after classes, and it is essential that for safety and convenience equipment and grounds be in good condition. Is Uncle Sam sticking out his neck, inviting Great Britain to step all over it again? So successful have our diplomats been in being unsuccessful that there is much sentiment for keeping them at home. 'England Believes Every American Must Do His Duty' Idle money in the reserve fund could hardly be put to a purpose of more general benefit. Secretary Hull and the President have hit on what is perhaps an admirable attitude toward the Far Eastern crisis and the world situation at large. They feel that the aggressor nations must be stopped by stringent means. For some time they have had an elaborate and neatly planned blockade designed to pull Japan out of China. But it required the co-operation of Great Britain. Great Britain heartily agreed with the plan, but at first she discovered that so many of her battleships were in drydock that it would be impossible. No sooner did the ships get back in the water than they were needed in the vicinity of Gibraltar. If (and we hope this does not come to pass) a compact to blockade Japan is decided upon, the United States will have to be careful about crawling out on the limb and discovering herself alone. Or Don't You Care? Yesterday's opening of the "Russell Kelly Reward Fund" boxes added $4.85 to Saturday's $7.74 making in all $12.59 voluntary contributions representing over 4,000 students. Surely among 4,000 students there are enough who want to a murderer brought to justice to raise this total. To date $877.89 has been pledged and contributed as a reward for the person or persons who may be instrumental in the apprehension of the criminal. Authorities have expressed the hope that the total would be raised to $1,000, in which event circulars would be printed and sent throughout the state and elsewhere. Can not Russell Kelly's fellow students contribute more than $12.59 in memory of one of their student body? Don't Tell Who Wrote This Which sex is blessed . . or damned . . with the greater vanity? Many a thinker has been whipped into the dark abyss of eternal social ostracism for voicing such a question, but we have a situation here on the Campus that might throw some light on the subject. Earlier in the year the women adopted crummy looking beer jackets as conventional raiment, with the precept that they must not be washed, and that the greater the delapidation the greater the excellence. Since the women had beaten the men to the draw on this garb and since they were fain to copy the fairer sex, the men decided to answer the challenge by wearing Vokka Jackets, or overall coats, formerly known only to burn lots, locomotives and WPA projects. But it may be seen that while the women are still consistent with their beer jackets in spite of the inclement weather, the men have not the courage to wear their innovations, though the crisper nature of the fall days is more suited to such. Draw your own conclusions. P. S. This was written by a man . . . heresy High Job Standards The smart alexk young college graduate out to tell the world how it ought to be run went pretty thoroughly out of fashion during the depression, which is a good thing. He probably was never as numerous as the popular tradition had it, anyhow. At any rate, college students, recent graduates and soon-to-be graduates nowadays are much concerned with filling the specifications that their prospective employers may have set out for them. And now that jobs are getting to be more plentiful than they were through the scarcity years of 1931-35, the high standards that a fellow had to meet in order to get a job during that period still stand, for the most part. The University of Buffalo, for instance, finds that "Employers through improved personnel services are requiring that graduates 'sell themselves' more than ever. This means partly the possession of good manners, neatness, confidence and apparent ambition. Above all, it is dependent on submissive willingness to work hard as an apprentice." And this would seem to be suggestive of good advice for anyone, college graduate or not, who is looking for a job—Kansas City Kansas. Mr. Mussolini, the younger, has quit Hollywood because of an unfriendly attitude toward him by the Motion Picture Artists' Committee—which found expression in advertisements denouncing him for his part in the Ethiopian conquest. Son Vittorio, whose daddy once cured fault-finders with castor-oil, apparently finds American freedom of speech exceedingly hard to take.
