FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 11, 1935
REGRETTABLE INCIDENT
The thoughtless action of the K club in its attempt to uphold school tradition at the St. Benefic'd game has aroused considerable student feeling, yet the K-men, in their own opinion, were merely carrying out an obligation placed upon them two years ago by the student body.
In 1933, the Men's Student Council in voting to place the enforcement of tradition in the hands of the K-men assumed that this group was best qualified to handle such a thing. Last year the club took its first active steps in the matter and thereby aroused considerable comment over whether or not tradition should be maintained by the use of force. This argument culminated in an election early last year in which the students of the University upheld, by a good majority, the right of the K-men to paddle.
So the K club was not overstepping its legal bounds in Saturday's action. It was overstepping the bounds of good taste. Circumstances and conditions made the K club action regrettable, for the impression created by the incident was that the K-men were primarily interested in placing themselves in the spotlight rather than enforcing tradition of the school. Even on Thursday night, K-men joined a punish for the under-dog when several K men punish a single student for tradition violation.
If the enforcement of tradition is to remain in the hands of the K club, that organization must recognize the difference between duty and rowdyism as seen from the spectator's viewpoint. This is a delicate point, one that is difficult to determine, for spectators judge only by appearances, but it also depends on the act that seems justifiable to the K men may meet with instant disapproval from outsiders.
If they are incapable of doing this, if their action continues to meet with student disapproval, and unsatisfactory comment from people interested in the University, then enforcement of tradition, if tradition is to be enforced, must be placed in other hands.
The K-men must bear this fact in mind; they must temper their actions by thoughtfulness and tact; they must remember that they are placing themselves on public exhibition, and should strive, at all times, to create a favorable impression, even though the odds of their so doing are definitely against them.

Campus Opinion
Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Delay Kanan. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions on any subject are invited.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Now that the K-men paddling controversy has reached a boiling point it is evident that the main issues have become somewhat obscure by the unintelligent countering of each group.
In the first place, it would be well to consider the two main arguments, which seem to raise their heads as a result of this bickering. The first question: were the K-men justified in beating a fellow member at a football game; or any place for that matter? The second: is the more sanction of the Men's State Championship or the dedication of the University sufficient authority to heat freshmen? Or is there a higher force which controls its keeping alive of traditions?
In treating the first question, I may say, that I think the K-men were justified in dealing with a member who was involved in a dispute.
erule and intelligent is obvious. A stadium with som
14,000 people is hardly a fit place in which to mete ou
punishment for some erring member. It not only put th
K-men as a group in a bad light, but it also was a reflec
ction on the University itself for tolerating such conduc
from a group of its students.
In answering the second question, I would reply in the negative. True, The Men's Student Council is the articulate representative of the school choir. True, I have been a campus opinion, Keeping alive the traditions of the University is surely a noteworthy and worthwhile activity, but at the smack of a paddle no. Force never solved anything, and in the end
I am in sympathy with the K-men as a group, for I know that they are serious-minded and trying to promote school spirit as well to keep alive the traditions of the University. But that they have stepped off on the wrong foot, goes without saying. I noticed from the Kanan that a meeting of the K-Club is called for this evening and I certainly hope that Gray will see to it that a better mentor exists. I don't know if that knew that Gray has been held up to some unjust criticism and in light of this I would like to see the K-men run out a different line of procedure.
In closing, let me add, I think that the K-clauses is an oral organization of the bill but will continue to be so written. It is too much for my time.

Editor Daily Kansan:
This week "Annapolis Farwell" comes to the Dickinson Theater. May I quote "The New Republic": "Paranmount's current release, *Annapolis Farwell*, so glorifies the move that young youths out of high school are learning to carry themselves around in clothes being set up to take care of them. As Carl Dreher has suggested, the few hundred million dollars' worth of furnished free for such pictures at least partially explain the producer's predilection toward militarism; but it also shows how much they value.
While we are on the subject, here are The New Republic's figures on the per centages of militisation in news reels *Fox Movelotme*, 13.3; Heart Metronome, 10.6; Universal, 10.5; Paramount, 9.4; Polhe, 7-A.C.A.
To the Editor:
The K-men present being dubbed the feebest intelllects of the University, yet they display such poor judgment and such startling ignorance. The question of the Austin case was not one of whether Mr. Austin should have been paddled, but essentially could be paddled? By their action last Saturday, the K-men exposed themselves to the liability of lawsuits, which I think would serve, under an attack, on them. These red-sweated guardsians of University traditions into their proper niche, if they have a proper niche within the University.
Mr. Austin could not be paddled. He is a graduate student, and as such he is subject to no regulations other than those of the Chancellor's office regarding graduate work, to those of the Graduate School, and to civil law. The K-men are part of the under-graduate division, and they must that they limit their odious affinities to that division.
K-men have no right to question any graduate student. If they are skeptical of this limitation, I suggest they question the Administration. The Administration is responsible for an organization so sponsible to any under-graduate organization. It is true that there is a graduate representative in the Merle's Student Council, but he is not officially recognized and has no authority to bind the graduates to any agreement. Work does not coincide with that of under-graduate.
It is disconcerting to see an organization describeth the University, and last Saturday's spectacle was rather infantile. More serious though, is the fact that the K-men over-steped the sanctions permitted them by the undergraduate student body. In so doing, every K-men violated the common laws of peace. Mr. Austin could obtain a civil court judgment. No doubt he will not insist upon his rights, however, the K-men can afford to do so in future. For some might reassert barbarism sufficiently to demand the rights of American citizens.
More disconcerting than the poor judgment of the K-men was the action of certain hollisteristic sisters. I hope only a few visitors witnessed that display, for the University is judged as severely by the actions of its women as its men, if not more so. As the students protested at the K-men, certain amazes screeched for gore and denounced Mr. Austin all in the same breath. What a pretty spectacle of supposedly civilized femininity—P.L.
Editor Daily Kansas:
From excellent authority, none other than a K-man himself, the K-club voted during the spring of 35 to cut down on the quality of the freshman caps in order to increase the percentage which it receives. In fact, when the club received only fifteen cents per cap last year, it now receives fifty cents.
In view of Gordon Gray's box announcement in the Kansas for Thursday, Oct. 10, indicating that out-of-school students should participate in school-based the necessary routine to establish and uphold school tradition, I think it wipe that the other aide of Mr. Gray should attend.
May I ask, how, if the above is merely idle speculation, has the K-club found means to redecorate rooms in Robinson gymnasium? If it were only through such funds as are received from members, why didn't redecoration occur years ago? (They wanted to do so for a long time!)—W.L.C.
In case anyone doubts this statement as merely accusations usually made against an unpopular group, may I suggest that the K-club print in full the minutes of all the workers are to be reprinted at the cost of the cost of the cause is obtained from the manufacturer.
I do not distract the K-men who gave me this information, and I feel that the student body should know that there is a greater reason than merely school spirit which drives the K-club.

Colonel William Joseph Donovan, ljers for 21 months and was three known for his naval hostile wristbones of wounded in action. He won the collar "Wild Bill," in reality won quiet and cruel terms as a man who played a number of foreign decorating, man of tradition. But the baffle of including the Legion of Honor of his World War career remained with France, the Cross du Guerre of France the handsome, rugged, monocular man, and the Cross al Marquis of Giraffa from Africa.
Donovan was the third generation of his branch of the family in this country. His grandparents came to the United States in the early years of the 19th century. They followed the Erie Canal to Buffalo and settled in that city, surrounded by many other Irish immigrant families. Billy's father took up railroading. His first child was William Joseph, born on New Year's Day, 1833.
"Wild Bill" Donovan, Famous For War Career, Was Quiet and Scholarly Man
**The Learner To Use Facts.**
He learned to use the Northard's Academy first, where he learned to read and write. As a younger, he preferred to play on the railroad tracks, where he learned to use his fists and become a good boxer. But he continued his education at Northard's School for preparation work and then entered Niugau University, a Catholic institution. He spent only a year there. Opportunities to work his way through school seemed brighter in New York 1282 he entered Columbia University.
Distinction in athletics and scholarship came to the Buffalo bay. He earned his variety letter on the football squad as a quarterback. He devoted himself to public speaking with decided success, winning the George William Curtis alto medal. Denovan was graduated from Columbia in 1905 and, still working as a student, became President University Law School, from which he was graduated in 1907.
Learned To Use Fists
Started Practice in Buhn... Admitted to the bar, Donanow returned to Buffalo and began practice as an associate in the law firm of Love and Koeing. In 1928 he formed a part-time office for lawyers years later he married Ruth Ramsey, of Buffalo. They had two children, David Ramsey and Patricia.
Then came a diversion abroad. In 1816, Donovan went to Poland with the American Relief Commission of the Rockefeller Institute, and when he returned he went to the Mexican border where he was killed in the Carvalhoy, of which he was captain.
When the United States entered the war, Denver went to France and required the three highest honors the United States bestowed on its heroes.
"Wild Bill" was the only man in the service to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Service Medal. Although regulations foradebors offering出门 to battle displaying insignia of their rank, Dorien denowned his oak leaves to lead the 163rd Infantry, 42nd Division, in the Argentine forces and enlisted at St. George in October, 1918.
His bravery won him the Congressional Medal, and his citation read: "When we encountered a wave in an attack upon a very strongly organized position, and when our troops were suffering heavy casualties, he encouraged all near him by his example, moving among them to the side of the defecated plateau and accompanying them forward in attacks. When he was wounded in the leg by a machine gun bullet, he refused to be evacuated and continued to fight until it withdrew to a less exposed position."
Bravery Inspired Men

THE
CAFETERIA
After the war, Donovan went to Siberia with Ambassador Roland Morris on a mission to investigate the Kolehah government.
Aided Siberian Mission
On his return to the United States, he served as counsel to the New York State Federal Administration. He also was appointed United States attorney for the District of Columbia on His initiative a customers conference was held at Ottawa, Canada, which drafted a treaty between Canada and the United States, providing for co-operation in preventing international terrorism was approved by the Senate in 1955.
1824, President Calvin Coolidge appointed Dowen assistant attorney general of the United States, and he was in politics in the national scene.
In the capacity of assistant attorney general he had charge of criminal cases throughout the country and appeared on numerous occasions on behalf of the government before the Supreme Court. Donovan twice ran for office in New York State and both times was defeated. In 1922 he ran on the Republican side and was defeated. In 1923 he was Republican candidate for governor and was sacked under in the Democratic hindrance of that year, despite a vigorous and statewide campaign.
