PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS SUNDAY. OCTOBER 10, 1937 Comment We Ask Your Support Student voice, inexorable, demanding, has raised a cry for the capture of a murderer—the killer of Russell Kelly. Toward this end the men and women of the University have asked the Kansan to back an active campus-wide campaign for the raising of a "Russell Kelly Reward Fund" to be given the person or persons instrumental in bringing the fugitive to justice. No definite amount has been set as a goal for this fund. Contributions, whether they be great or small, will be given voluntarily. Those who wish their money returned, in the event the hunt is unsuccessful, will be cared for. Others who do not care for the return of their contributions will know their contributions went for a worthy cause, even if not the one to which they originally subscribed. The dime was only an example. Already two checks—unsolicited—have come to this fund. Numerous faculty members signified their desire to contribute, even before the beginning of the campaign. Students have wanted to "chip in." Few students are financially able to make large individual contributions, yet, if each student of the 4000-odd enrolled were to contribue a dime, the $400 would be a sum large enough to increase the reward sums already offered. . With this splendid beginning, the sky's the limit. Treaties in An Anarchist World Exaggeration would be difficult in expressing the significance of the Oriental situation today. The outcome of actions in Geneva, as they will be manifested at Shanghai and other points in China, may conceivably settle the fate of modern civilization. When Japan's co-signers in the nine-power treaty denounced Japan's rape of China, they did more than merely call Japan to task for violating a pact: They stated the case for all treaties, now and henceforth. It is to be hoped the expression of indignation will prove sufficient to stem Japan's maddog crusade through China. For it is more than the safety of 400,000,000 Chinese—significant as that may be—that is involved. The well-being of the entire world is at stake, and the failure of eight recognized powers to call a halt to the present Oriental madness will mean that any nation, anywhere, may embark upon conquest at will, certain that no organized intervention need be feared. Enforcement of the treaty will set a precedent the lack of which has brought failure in every similar situation in the past. Armament-building and its attendant insanity may reasonably be viewed as a disease. Treaties are the only known method of cure. But always they have been heaved up at the crucial moment. Definitely involved as it is by reason of its recent neutrality legislation, America is expected to give the additional support needed to make success of the treaty certain. Absence of the United States in two former crises—involving Manchuria and Ethiopia—spelled failure at the outset. Will American influence suffice now? A worried world looks anxiously ahead, and hopes. Why Not Use Horse Sense? Way back when the first horseless carriages and steam engines were causing quite a furor among the learned men of the day . . . and especially the learned men who had no part in their invention . . . a Frenchman, addressing the Academy, advanced the opinion that such devices would not be a success because man had not the common sense in picking his way that was possessed by a horse. Time has proved that he was wrong about the success part of the statement, for the automobile industry is one of the most thriving in our national setup. Above that, the automobile has been more or less of a boon to mankind. And yet, horses still don't try to beat locomotives to crossings or round curves at 90 miles an hour. Putting A Foot Down Property owners along Pendergast creek (Brookside) in Kansas City, Mo., have at last turned. A proposal to enclose the brook in concrete "boxes" as a sewer was vigorously opposed at a meeting of the city council. Already the brook has a thick concrete bottom which may provide some measure of flood prevention, but which destroys to a great degree the natural loveliness of the creek and serves in the main to line some contractor's pocket. Here's to the citizens who warmed the city council with hot protestation. Perhaps they can stem the lava-like flow of concrete before it engulfs the city.

PAINT GORDON KENNETT MORRIS GRACE VALENTINE MARIA KERNWYN EDWARD BANNETT MARTIN BRENTSON MASTER CHEESE JANE FLORE MORRIS THOMPSON Are College Students Giving Up That Collegiate Air? "The freshmen will now don their capa," and with one accord the new students of the University of Kansas place the navy blue skull cap as a symbol of achievement, terms as this one dying out in the colleges and universities of America? For years they have shown that spirit which distinguished the college town from the average city, where that such behavior is on the wane? As far back as the Middle Ages the colleges have set their own manners and customs and the public has looked on with tolerance and sometimes with disapproval. In the same way they have started their own styles of dress, always a little gaudier, a little newer, and worn with that so-called "collegiate something or other." But today it has been said that the students are becoming more people, a bigger desire to wear the despised "skull" caps. They are bored with such out of date nonsense; they refuse to be tied by the old traditions. REPRESENTED FOR NATIONAL ADVERTISING. National Advertising Service, Inc.

BRUNESS MANAGER...F. QUENTIN BROWN Entered as second-class master, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Layerville, Kan. And yet; there are others who would argue differently. The college student will always be obvious. The only difference is that those outside of school have adopted the collegiate way of living. Working girls as well as debunkers have been taught to wear man headwear, and it is hard to realize that caps like these have been worn for over 68 years. The idea originated as far back as the 1870s, when it was a custom of new classes to adopt some sort of hat or cap which they were voluntarily. This custom continued through the days when men students were jeans and women dresses of calce and gingham; through days when evening clothes were such a rarity to students and faculty that would have been a signal for a riot; through days when the most daring wore cotton klubki to school. The times when long frecko coats with their "toppers" or plug hats were popular also saw the freshman strolling across the campus with the tell-tale cap on his head. I ari similar way have other traditions been carried along with the group. The Harvard Advocate in 1873 wrote "Hazing is, now a thing of the past, and as such should be forgotten and forgiven." Yet hazing has continued, and although many universities no longer use it to any great extent the custom is still remembered and used. Spirit Still Exists AT THE DICKINSON In the American universities the students are not required to wear any form of military costume as is sometimes the case in foreign institutions. Yet it can be said that they are a battalion in themselves, using shrieking horns instead of bullets and swinging to insure their safety. Their desire for distinctive clothing may be on the wane, it cannot be Ronald Coleman and Jane Wyatt combine to create the heart interest in "Lost Horizon" now playing at the Dickinson Theatre. AT THE VARSITY AT THE GRANADA Dick Powell and Madeline Carroll step out "On the Avenue" with Alice Faye and the Ritz Brothers, who appear with them in Irving Berlin's new music which opens today at the Varsity Theatre. Gene Raymond and Harriet Hillard together in a scene from "The Life of the Party" with Joe Pomer, Parkavkarka, Victor Mozor, Helen Brownd, Danielle Beecher, Ralph Lauren. said that the spirit that has been in student bodies for centuries is any less prominent in the present than in any former time.
