TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8, 1935 THIS THING CALLED TRADITION Tradition is usually thought of as a phase of life or a particular custom that, through repeated usage, has become sacred to certain individuals; something that is held in reverence because of its deep significance; something that is grasped by the mind as worthy of recognition and respect. It is a thing that grows into people, a thing that cannot be ignored because it is so deeply imbedded in the inner conscience, a thing that is not recognized through force, but forces recognition upon itself. Tradition on the University campus apparently has a different meaning. It is a principle that must be pounded into those students unfamiliar with its requirements; a principle that must be hurled at the individual by a student group steeped in its vague mysteries. It is a thing that can best be beaten into its victims before a crowd of 15,000 people. It is a law that must be enforced without regard for good taste, decorum, or sportsmanship. It is an ethereal something that offers highly esteemed gentlemen a magnificent opportunity to make dismal spectacles of themselves. If campus tradition means no more than this; if it cannot stand on the sacredness of its own principles; if it cannot be respected through reverence, not fear, then it does not deserve a place in University life. It should be cast aside and forgotten. History students who feel sorry for themselves because of the data they have to learn now should save their sympathy for the students in years to come who will have to name and distinguish between branches of President Roosevelt's alphabetical administration—Chanute Tribune.

Contributions on any subject are invited. Editor Daily Kansan: Saturday afternoon approximately 14,000 people were forced to look on while a group of empty headed paper bags wearing "K" sweaters made asses of themselves. Even the students blushed with embarrassment to think that they belonged to the same student group with these clothes and picked up on freshmen who are physically not their match. Why does an intelligent student body tolerate such bullying in its midst. Just because these muscle bound thick-heads have at some time represented the University, they can still be beggars or beheaded characters or give them the license to strut about the campus carrying bludgeon! It is true that real breeding will always show up, but it is necessary that we stand for these smart-sales try to show off when we get involved with it. If students carrying bad impressions of our University; R.C. Editor Daily Kansan: The weather was right. The score was right. But for many the afternoon was spelled by the cheap and brutal exhibition by the men who wear the "K" and carry the naddles. We all know that as individuals they are a decent lot of fellows, or as a gang they possess every looty bounty that can be found in the city. The healthy chorus of booing could easily have started on another mob, perhaps a larger one, set on the floor. A letter club should be the last organization on the campus to want to brand the Alma Mater a "heresy and a curse." Editor Daily Kansan: We are wondering if today's demonstration by the K-Men is to be considered an example of the University of Kansas's sportmanship. To those who do not know what the beautiful blue "K" means, it is the coveted emblem of attainment and athletic ability won by men who have given their best for this school. Bean an athlete implies good sportmanship. Could the mass action of these esteemed men be considered that? The man who was paddled evidently did not feel like taking a childish delight in demonstrating his physical prowess with a paddle, but wanted to remain in the stands and enjoy the game. He had won a letter in K. U., and since he had won one he had to get out there in front of the crowd and show his letter to them all. Still more, he had to be still more orientations about it and paddle someone so that everyone would know where he is. He should not do it and he must be punished for it and where could there be a better place than in out of the whole crowd. There is no doubt that the K-Men are a valuable asset to the school. During the game they show people where to park their cars. They also teach Freshmen to "button" their car doors so they can be seen from an inch too short, or if they refuse to show enough reverence for the flag of the school which they so well represent. Well if this is the kind of the thing that the K club represents and if their actions of not criticizing others at school are correct Africa and help Italy show her power too -B.C.M. Considerable comment has been circulated concerning the unnecessary roughness on the football field on the part of both teams, and especially that of the visiting team. As an alumna of the University of Kansas, it appeared to me that an event took place during the intermission at the half that brought considerable more unpleasantness to the University than did the petty fighting on the field. I speak of the conduct of the K-Men. To begin with of course, one criticism is that they were diverting the attention of the crowd from the parade of the visiting bands, and the presentation of honors to the Kansas City, Kansas, American Legion Band. The greatest point of criticism is of the fact that though, in the minds of the K-Men, the victim was a poor sport and "wouldn't take it," the K-Men made themselves appear to be greater "poor sports," and went the limit. The paddlers might have been all right up to a certain point, but when they saw that they could not get by with it, why did they continue and display each absolutely poor judgment to them, then he was down, in all of the spectators, which included a great number of high school band visitors? The activities of the K-Men appeared at first, to be high school staff, and therefore harmless amusement, but when the group forget that they were supposed to be upholding the standards of the school, even to a greater degree than other members of the student body as they were herefore thought of as the leaders; and actually were not, in their own way, aware of their aim when the "paddle method" failed, the group as a group, lost considerable admiration in the minds of the clear-thinking members of the student body. The amount of "booing" the K-Men received might have been increased a hundred-fold, if the spectators had not refrained from increasing the disgracefulness of the student body. They were also inflicted in the minds of the visitors, and added to the disagreeable conduct of the supposed leaders. I am sure that the University Administration, and the athletic bodies would frown down, in fact would not tolerate the conduct, but of course, and justly so, their attention was else-wHERE, if the k-Man are going to lose their heads over the "poor sportsmanship" of one student body, then their activities should be made to opea. In closing, I am wondering if the "student in question" was as half a poor sport as the aggressors made out that he was. Perhaps he was justified in the fact that he refused to bow them, and run the gaud们 of their paddles. But, in any event, it still stands that the K-Men went too far—An Alumna.

"And another thing, I was late arriving here, therefore I was unable to take that psychological examination at the time of what happened to be on a Thursday. When I went to enroll the man told me that I would have to deposit five dollars until I had taken the examination, but that I would receive my five dollars back when I had taken the examination the following Wednesday. The day for that examination was in bed at 9 o'clock. The examination was at a place where I arrived on the scene. The man told me that I couldn't get my five dollars back until next semester, and I had counted on five dollars to buy myself some goods from two dollars for my good old husband's sickness."

He may refrain from saying anything that he believes, in which case he is worthless. He may honestly and frankly state his conclusions on the problems of policy, rather than provide a proof of誓es-patriots. Thirdly, he may state only part of his conclusions (those which will offer none of the controlling interests on society), which is intropersonalization and disboness. He may also be a terrible predicament. The first alternative is not only unworthy but impossible; even when an instructor selects a textbook he is stating his belief that the book is worth reading and he should be content with it and position is the most desirable but apparently the least practical. The only thing left for him is to present tertially only part of his views. Students should be aware of this and consider their own roles. When a professor does have courage, we should be careful not to misinterpret or misquote him. We need also to determine which of the three possible positions the instructor is taking.

CSEP Workers End Lovers' Paradise in New Landscape Project Gone! gone! is the old sidewalk that ran under the arched support of the library entrance way. No more will cool lovebirds hide under the arch, between clauses, for protection from wind or rain—unless they want wet feet. No more can other students huddle down, or step in a sudden downpour, or take a mudslide in its wind sanctuary before they go to their next class. CSEP workers have built up the terrace that drops in an embrace to beneath the Waiton library basement windows, after tearing out the sidewalk that ran next to the building to the Medical Arts building on one hand and the Journalism shock on the other. They are sodding the new terraces now. The new library will be built across the library front yard this summer, will carry the old traffic. The freshman is speaking: "Well the first thing that I don't like about this University is the fact that it can be down here she and I were insuperable. Now she won't hardly look at me. She's trying to get lots of the follows on the campus crazy about her friends and her girlfriend, poor me that she will癌 her style. Well I may be wrong, but I believe that if my and my girlbad come to this daunted University that I still would she used to call me." Disillusioned Freshman Cannot Buy For Graduate of Department of Design "And another thing that I don't like is this paddling that these fraternites were using in the water, a group of us freshmen had sat down and written those fraternity guys a nice letter telling them that we had accepted their nip invitation to pledge them." ROCK - - - CHALKLETS Conducted by J. M. There was a time when the vice presidency was a rather useless office. Things are different now. With the loosening of moral restraints and the increasing sense of behavior is a good predecessor of vice could really wield plenty of power. One student said to another after an 8:30 class, "I like to have a bed now." The other replied, "I'd like to have some breakfast before going to bed."

Now that's gratitude for you. The subject assigned for a paper in the History of Music was "The Music of the Greeks." One student wrote about the music at the fraternity house. Antigen Developed by University Student Lessens Danger of Smallpox These tests conducted by Miss Holles were not the first of their kind, but they are credited with being some of the most successful. Miss Holles, through her research and investigation, has perfected antigen superior to those in use before. By the use of this discovery, the fight to combat human smallpox will be simplified and improved. As shown by the difference in results when several rabbits were given the same injections, some animals are especially good antigen producers; others are not. Calf serum was tried but it failed to produce results. This may have been caused, however, by the care exercised in its preservation. Several diseased rabbits were injected with the virus. Some died, while the others showed a negative reaction. This indicated that the antigens were less effective under pathological conditions. The substance used in this investigation was an unstable one, but it retained its potency for months if it is frozen. It also stands an inactivation temperature of 65 degrees Centigrade. As was stated before, several of the bacteria were diseased due as a result of the antigen being strated a valuable point; the severity of the infection is accompanied by a less-enabled ability to produce the antigens. The fact that the antigens began to disappear after the twentieth day shows that in the blood stream are not the primary mechanism against disease. Experimentation revealed that the antigens appeared between the seventh and the fifteenth day and began to disappear from the blood stream after the twentyth day. In some cases they did not disappear until several days later, and that some of the exposures had greater敛性 powers than others. The Greater DICKINSON TODAY!

MIRIAM HOPKINS "BECKY SHARP" Comedy - Cartoon Wednesday - Thursday Smallpox no longer is the mession to the human race that it was several years ago. For many years science has been attempting to develop an antigen, a foreign element injected into the blood to combat disease, satisfactory enough to aid in the fight against this dreaded disease. Miss Lida F. Holmes successfully developed such an antigen at the University of Kansas in 1933-34. Rabbits were used by Miss Holmes in her investigation. In a series of tests covering a period of several months, the rabbits were injected with two strains of cow-pox virus to determine whether the most favorable duet the most favorable antigen. Thirteen different types of preparations were tested for their antigenic values. Some of the rabbits were inoculated one and others many times. It was observed that those which had been injected were the stronger development of the antigens.
