POOR PSYCHOLOGY
THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 10, 1935
Isn't it poor psychology to force someone to do something and try to make him like it? There are universities where freshmen take pride in displaying their school colors. Can't we arrive at some sane and civilized solution whereby freshmen will want to wear their caps and feel a certain pride in doing so?
A new student who is hazeed into wearing a cap feels a certain resentment toward the cap, toward the institution for which it stands, and toward the upperclassman who are trying to enforce rules. A student, on entering this University for the first time (if he is to be a good student-citizen) should not be forced to do this thing which he would do of his own accord if left to make his own decision.
The freshmen induction ceremony is a solemn and impressive occasion in the beginning of the school career of new students. At this time the freshman is presented with the symbolic cap. He is told of the traditions and customs of his new University. A feeling of pride and reverence has been planted in the fertile minds of these new students. Why then must upperclassmen jump from their closet with their paddles and destroy this newborn loyalty and replace it with hatred?
SPEED
With rapid mechanical advances, and constant improvement in highway construction, the average speed of automobile travel is daily increasing. A few years ago, students can remember, the speed limit of thirty miles an hour was considered fast enough by most people. Drive thirty miles an hour under modern conditions and you seem hardly to be moving. Double that speed today, and you fit into the modern traffic scheme.
If these people are fortunate, they continue to flash along, blissful in their ignorance. If they are unfortunate, they learn their lesson amid the confusion of whining tires, sudden, sickening shocks, and screams of fear and pain.
Yet many people are not physically or mentally equipped to safely drive under such speed conditions. They push the throttle to the floor, comment on how quietly and smoothly the car runs, and feels just as safe as if they were sitting at home in a plush cushioned arm chair. They have no idea of the terrific power they are controlling, the great hitting force they guide with such apparent ease, or the amount of space necessary to stop two tons of metal traveling at sixty miles an hour.
Yet we are all egotistical about our driving. Accidents happen to others, not to us. We have complete control of our car as long as we are behind the wheel. Let other people worry. We are safe.
More than 500 people said the same thing last year in Kansas.
They are dead now
Campus Opinion

Editor Daily Kansan:
Since the K club has been targeted for so much one-
dided and narrow criticism, I am taking this opportunity
to re-examine what we have to do.
During the past two years there has been a great deal of walling and meaning to the effect that our Alma Mater was surrounded by very little tradition and what tradition it did have was fast dying. It seemed, at that time, to be the opinion of the student body that some one should do something about this state of affairs, and the
K club found the duties of reviving and enforcing our traditions in its han.
As a result of this the club set up its own means of enforcement and has proceeded to carry them out in a whole-hearted and sincerne manner. In so doing, it be- came clear that the body desties as was expressed in the election last fall.
no criticism of any consequence was voiced by the students until the game last Saturday, at which time the club received the support of the spectators while it inflicted the penalty on a freshman for not wearing his cap, but was loudly and brutally criticized by members for not obeying the rules of the club. For the general information of those who seem so anxious to criticize, there is a rule in the K club which demands that each member shall wear his "K" and carry his paddle on the days before and during football games. The man who offered such much resistance was not a freshman but was a member of the club, as he had been above rule and was therefore subject to punishment.
When the K men were said, in a former Campus Opinion, to be poor sportsmen and to have earned their letters in hop-sac, and decent and fair-minded student could realize that it was but a cheap attack on one of them, if they had been so anxious to criticize are able to offer *b* better plan of keeping traditions alive. If so, they have failed to offer any constructive suggestions, but instead have only criticized and tried to tear down what has been done for years. If they can offer a better plan the student body would be glad to profit by it, if they can't.
The K men have trained and worked hard to earn their letters and have done much to promote the ideals and traditions of this University. What other organization can offer more—A "K" Man.
Editor Daily Kansan:
I wish to commend the writers of the campus opinions which appeared in Tuesday's Kanan; also the writer of *The Wonderful World* by Robert B. Fitzgerald.
Paddling is merely a low method of showing off. It is not difficult to understand why athletes are generally considered dull. All the phases of Saturday afternoon's training and practice, including those which it have referred, Needles to say, Glen Austin was padded for personal reasons. Interior people are often resentful of superior persons. They attempt to make up a vast intellectual difference by resorting to physical video interviews. The results can be obtained by such resentment and the rest blindly followed.
I sincerely hope that the student body will put a stop to such forms of mob violence.

Two weeks ago I appended to the Men's Student Council for an appropriation of six dollars to repay me for the money I was forced to spend on the activity ticket. I told the committee that I expected they expressed themselves in "sympathy" with my plea and adopted the usual staff of "appointing a committee to investigate." The committee has never met; it never will; for it was never intended to meet. Its appointment was a gesture by men who cannot understand a working relationship.
The M.S.C. vote to spend $115 on themselves for gold keys to dangle from their watch chains at the same meeting they voted down my plea for a patry (to them) six dollars.
Several members have since sneered at me for making my plea. It is a good indication of the type of men elected to the council and what they are interested in. I accuse them of being too weak—kneed to try to help a working student fight something they know the administration favors.
Ross Borders, independent, should be especially cautioned for voting in favor of the $15 key bill. He and 11 other Republicans voted against it.
Why can't we have counselors who are not stogues of the administration?

Editor Daily Kansan:
College athletics, we are told, is excellent training in sportmanship and character. If this is generally true, something must be drastically wrong in the Kansas University sports teams. We know that a lot of rotten sports in any school I attended previous to my enrollment here. Saturday, Oct. 5, should be a day remembered only as an occasion for shame by our team.
Everyone should be aware of the disgrace I refer to. First the attempt by K-men to beat a graduate student who won his letter four years ago serving his school, Second the roughkick tactics of our football team in the game. If this is a sample of K-men's manship, we had better discontinue the football team and K-club. R.W.M.

Many Interesting Displays Are To Be Seen By Students
If n "Know Your Campus Week" were to be celebrated at the University, surprising discoveries would result for many members of the student body. All are familiar, of course, with the regular museums, Dyche and Thayer, but they are also interesting exhibitions scattered over the campus.
The collection, which includes many antiques and plaster cottons, was started in November, 1955, by Professor Magdalinfin, of Columbia University. He par-
For those interested in Greek and Roman art, the Wilcox Classical museum should prove an interesting place. This museum, which is now being re-visited, is located on the second floor of Fraser close, to the Greek and Latin classrooms. It was named for Prof. A. M. Wilcox, professor of ancient humum, the University, who died Jan. 2, 1929. The current curator is Prof. M. W. Sterling.
There is, for example, an insect collection in 16th basement of Snow Hall, and there are various literary displays on the second floor of the library.

"Otherwise how can one unearth why Italy wants war? We are a possible people and want to be left alone. Of course we have lands of great wealth because of the extraordinary range of climate under which wheat, cotton and coffee thrive. That the soil is rich is attested by the fact that the historical fertility of Egypt is due to alluvial deposits from the tributaries of the Nile.
Immigrant war between Ethiopia and Italy could be forecalled by United States insistence that Italy adhere to the Kellogg pact, in the opinion of Dr Azru Warpich C. Martin, minister plaster in London of Engineer Hake Selassie.

"Once he has taken possession of Eibhilicus," Dr. Martin said, "his next move would be to try to take the Siudan, which is a large island off the waters of Lake Tseni from the Taina region thus cutting off the water supply from the entire country. This would be a blow to his kingdom."

Indian Weddings Are Portrayals Of Colorful Rituals and Traditions
An interesting event in Indian life is a marriage performed according to tribal rite. One of the most colorful weddings was held at the recently Miss Bruner, who is a daughter of a prominent Greek chieftain, married Chief Battez, who is a descendant of the Pattuwaini-sac Fox tribe.
Ry Darold Pev Eagle, e'28.
The more valuable part of the exhibit includes ancient Greek and Roman lamps and vases of all sizes and shapes; decorations from temples; fragments of Pompeii walls with the famous red coloring still quite distinct; about 20 kinds of ancient Roman marbles; a collection of small metal articles, such as hair pins, broches, buttons, tweezers, keys, and nails.
The bighidegroom wore a doe-skin sun which was winned by Wampoo banded patterned in symbolic figures of his tribe. He also wore a great, black-tipped brasshead of eagle feathers which trailed the ground.
In 1925, Professor Magoffin told the department that the collection was the second most valuable in the United States. Although it has of course been surpassed since that time, it is still a major collection for a midwestern university.
The remainder of the exhibit includes plaster casts of famous figures in Greek and Roman legion and history. Some of these are several busts. The department adds to this collection from time to time as it has funds. There also is a series of pictures depicting the advancement of Rome from its early beginnings to its height.
The garment worn by the bride consisted of dresses in dress which had innumerable prayer beads attached to it. She carried the "good luck fan" which consists of the tail feathers of the eagle (31 in number). This is more or less a superstition of the Creek Indians, as they believe any mather who is to be married shall not wear it and the fan will have a more unsuccessful marriage life.
The ritual took place in a church-designed with many *blanket* blankets and ornaments. On the altar was a large white tepee which played a symbolic气味, as if it were a song to be legged with the singing of Creek songs by Chief Ciyao who performed the mur-

never end. After the first advances the Indians will find themselves subject to guerrilla warfare. It will be defuse by soldiers. And I am afraid there will be casualties, and so we lose prisoners.

"It will be a very extravagant enterprise for Italy. The cost of transporting it is about $1,000 per car and we enquiries. I do not see how Italy can sustain such an outlay under present fright."
Hate Deep-Seated
"My people have an intense hatred for the Italians because of the terrible treatment of the natives of Italian Somaliland and the unjust death of civilians under the jurisdiction of some European powers my countrymen would not object to today either French or British protection because we know of the fair treatment of their neighbors in adjoining colonies.
"On their side the Italians are undoubtedly kicking for revenge because of the disastrous rout they suffered at the hands of my people at Aduna in 1868, about the danger of inciting the blacks of the whole world against the whites. There is no telling how far that movement will reach once its starts. Every nation having colonial possessions in Africa, black peoples will be faced with war."
"What my country requires now more than anything else," Dr. Martin concluded, "in arms and ammunition. We have given a concession over a large portion of the gold (territory) in return for $20,000, and this money all is to be used for guns and ammunition. But I believe that we must rely on our money we may be prohibited by embargoes from actually getting possession of the armament and war supplies."
riage ritual. As the bride couple reached after the肌 Ms. Bruner, mother of the bride, placed a pot of burninged roocer, representive life, in the center of the topee. The groom took up the toponu, which represents the soul of the Indian, and, followed by the bride walked around the fire in the topee, where it burns, and continues to maintain the Great Father would bestow on the couple about to be married.
Then followed the purification ceremony in which the feather of purity was dipped into the burning cellet and saved by a fire. The groom by all the officiating members of the ceremony. This concluded the triennial rites and Chief Cavail translated into English the benediction speech "God of blessings" and the union through this life and the one to come. The wedding party then went to the home of the bride where an Indian wedding feast consisting of ourn bread, wine, flowers, bridesmen and fried corn composed the menu.
The only noticeable difference among Indian weddings in the fact that tribal rites may vary. In an Ousage wedding "the buying of the bride" by the groom and the exchange of gifts between bridal parties is unique. A good example of this is from Whitheleen to Lacie Abbot. It will be the groom to purchase his bride with gifts which included 35 horses, a wagon and numerous grey-colored blankets.
During the summer, the floor of the museum as re-varnished, and the work of renovating now has begun. A CSEP student has been assigned to the department and is engaged in cleaning a display applying a special art finish to them.
The department recently purchased a small cast of the Greek Victory, Pa-
tina, for the museum. It is at the entrance to the museum, beside
the Greek room. On the opposite side of the entrances, in the Roman Victory
room, there are exhibits on Latin room, making a fitting display.
New Policy at Columbia
The freshmen at the University of Missouri will get a new deal this year, according to the Columbia Missouri. The Sophomore Council has imagined a new policy of co-operation with freshmen, and instead of the former warlike attitude, the two classes will in the interests of school activities.
