SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1934 A JADED CAMPUS NEEDS HOBO DAY Sherlock Holmes used to glide through the halls of the Administration building on roller skates. Students in tatters that would have aroused the sympathy of a true rail-rider, used to gather around little fires on the campus to laugh at each other and sing and yell about the pitiful future of a certain Tiger. There was the rowdy convention where the planned program never went through on schedule because the crowd preferred to entertain itself. That was Hobo Day, the old friend whose yearly visit was anticipated and planned for by Jay-hawkers who liked, occasionally, to stop over the lines laid down by numerous rules of conduct. It was the occasion for a necessary letting off of steam by the whole campus. Cheer leaders were never ashamed of a rendition of the Rock Chalk on Hobo Day. But the old friend was thought by a few of those who ran into him once a year to be too tough. His laughter was too loud and rough. Last year he was told he had worn out his welcome and that the Hill would get along without him hereafter. He was sorredly missed by those students who had enjoyed his brief visits in other years. The lack of interest in student activities has been depressing this fall and Hobo Day is needed. It is true, spontaneous tradition that kept alive from year to year a spirit distinctive for Kansas. It has been a needed complement to lectures and the library. And it may have had something to do with winning Missouri football games. Hang it! just when we get a good joke on one of our lady professors, our gentlemanly instincts, or somp-in, make us promise not to tell it on her. "Rugged Individualism," once the pride of America, has fallen into pathetic disrepute under the New Deal. Along with Mr. Hoover's prosperity-concerning corner it has become an object of sneering ridicule. IS INDIVIDUALISM OUT OF DATE? But is it dead? As James Trusslow Adams asked recently, is it so far gone that Americans will adopt themselves willingly to the coercion involved in the planned economy that is being proposed as a remedy for America's illz? Mr. Adams, writing in The New York Times Magazine, digs into the origin and development of American individualism, and leaves the impression that it can not be dismissed with a sneer. It is the result, he says, of three powerful influences: of America's physical isolation that encouraged colonists to defy their king, and made strong government unnecessary; of the nature of the immigrants who fleed here to escape oppression and who are a substantial part of the population; and o the self-reliance, mistrust of governme- nment and insistence upon individuall freedom that come from a frontier life. These three influences, declares the historian, have been persistently at work in every generation until they are the "bone of our bone." The depression has convinced Americans that something is wrong with their government, and under acute circumstances they may be willing to forget their traditions temporarily, but not yet, believes Mr. Adams, will they consent to a permanent change in their form of government that will reduce the scope of their individualism to any great extent. YOU CONVENTIONAL GEANNIES The call of "Rally! Rally!" sounded over the Hill Friday night urging students to send the team off in the best spirit for the Aggie game. Few responded that "It was raining"—raining lightly and pleasantly with a warm breeze blowing—a perfect night for a walk and rousing enthusiasm. There is no logical argument to be presented on behalf of pep meetings to those who look on in disdain or indifference. The word used to be "school spirit," but what was formerly considered a vital part of a university has gone into decline, tossed aside by sophisticates who deem it ill-fitted to modern education. The fact that Coach Lindsey considers evidence of student enthusiasm encouraging to the team should hold weight with sports fans. But the rest of you—you scout at the idea of "Joe College," at any outward display of those who are getting a genuine kick out of life; but society has discovered that mass enthusiasm is often the only way of getting anything done. So, you conventional grunners, get out with the crowd, yell yourselves hoarse for once, and shake some of the rheumatism out of your veins. Considering the number of rotten recitations that are made in some of these classrooms, it is not surprising that flies are attracted in swamps. THE AMERICAN WAY Are the American people losing their freedom? That is a topic which edges its way into every In most European countries today, the people are existing for the good of the government. That's an old European point of view, and probably an easy one to slip back into. But it has never been our way, here in America, and it will be. their freedom! That is a topic which edges its way into every sort of discussion—whether the country is repudiating its ideals of democracy and individual freedom. And it is one of the strongest enemies in the attack on the new deal administration. In the heat of the discussion people have time to see only one fact—that some of their immediate freedom of choice has been taken away. But is that the major issue? Isn't the important question this: is the individual being considered important as an individual? Look closely at the measures passed in the past year or two—measures which are reputed to be depriving us of all our rights. Are they made for a king, a dictator, an army, a political party? Or are they for the good of the people, HANNA for RADIO PHONE 303 904 Mass. St. Shadow of Lane College Falls On Kansas' Territorial Capital Two Story Rock Building, Once Educational Pioneer Still Stands at Lecompton Although Its History Is Old SHADOWS OF LANE By Robertson Strawn On the eastern outskirts of Lecompton, the early territorial capital of Kansas, stands the two-story rock building that is a special room that echoed with the bundle of university students are now empty except for one, in which lives a family, permitted to reside there in order to maintain their identity through the slass windows of the building. Halls Are Empty Lane University, like many a pioneer, was an inateur. Founded by the United Brethren Church in 1865, the school was one of the few institutions it was moved to Ballon and given the name of Campbell University. From there the school was later moved to Kansas City, Kan., and finally to Lincoln, Nebraska, where it appeared under the name of York College. There seems to be little reason to doubt the sincerity of the President and his administration in trying to make the government serve the people more efficiently. We The founding of Lane University must be credited to the dream of a missionary, a Reverend Mr. Cardwell, who had been sent by the United Brethren Church to visit a town in Colorado and interested a friend of his, Solomon Weaver of Weson county, Iowa, in the pro- for the restoration of economic conditions necessary for every one of us? have no reason to complain until the people's needs are subordinated to the efficiency of the government. And that's a long way off yet, for America. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: The sorority girl who took a shot at Greek snobbery on the Hill, the other day, hit squares at one of the notorious facts about the University. We're known as an unfriendly school dominated by the older and wealthier women in college, this collegiate 400 we have all the little fraternities and sororites carefully rated, each one trying to get in with the ones "above" it, and looking down on the ones "below". The rest of the students seem to gather into little cliques, so that an unaffiliated stranger is apt to be pretty much lost a long time. Have you ever heard high school students talking about colleges? What they hear ought to be a fairly good indication of the real reputation of a school. I remember listening, years ago, to a group argument about Manhattan and K.U. The decision was over. Mr. Ku could one count on making friends and having a good time, whether he made the best fraternity or not. It's a pretty bad state of affairs when the social rating of a man's fraternity is lower than that of his personality. Here's a bit of overheard conversation, the speaker being a pledge of one of the "best" Hill sorories: "I have a date with n —— pledge, tonight—I don't remem ber his name." Another Sorority Girl IT I S GOOD FOOD WHERE? jeet, and Mr. Weaver came to Kansas to look after the details of founding the school. For 18 years, beginning in 1895, the classes of Lane University, named for James Lane, were held in one of Leckmann's principal hotels, the Rowena, in Athens. After being given the 13-eleventh terrestrial capital grounds and the capital building, but nothing was done with these possessions down and the material used to construct a building for the University. The university building was completed in 1823, and was officially dedicated on November 24th, Kephart of Tolio, Ohio, as the speaker. at the CAFETERIA With an enrollment of from 40 to 75 students, the university was operated until 1903, when the declining population of Lecompte caused the officials of the university to close. The school to Holton. The Lecompte building was then used as a high school until 1927, but since that time has served only to remind the community and the sight-seer that "once upon a time" Lane was once a teacher of the educational need of pioneer Kanaua. WASHBURN PROFESSOR'S BOOK ATTRACTS WIDE INTEREST According to the Washburn Review, "The Soviet State," a book written by Prof. Bertram W. Maxwell, of the Washburn College history department, has been adopted as the official textbook in the peace council sponsored by the Communist Party for Endowment for International Peace. Professor Maxwell first began collecting material for his book when he spent several months in Russia in 1920. He also spent the summer of 1923 working in the archives of the Foreign Ministry, where he was published just last January and has already attracted world-wide interest.
