Entered as second class matter, September 17, 1916, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas.
PADDLING
The freshman cap problem may be rocking a dozen campuses in the United States, but it still has caused only a minor stir on the Kansas campus, even though a referendum faces the men in about eighteen days.
Five men with an ideal have provoked the discussion and kept the issue smouldering; the K Club has wielded the paddle—even though the swats have become taps—fearing the spot light that has been focused upon them; the Student Council has washed its hands of the whole matter by leaving it up to a referendum of the voters, and the students in their sphere of sophistication generally have ignored the whole fractas as being undignified and annoying.
Fifty per cent of the campus is sick and tired of the whole matter, and will breathe a sigh of relief when the referendum is over; but the other fifty per cent would like to come to a reasonable and sane conclusion—a decision which will definitely determine whether freshman caps are in or out as traditions of the University.
Most of the discussion both pro and con might be tossed into an eah-can and labelled "tribble 100%." Let's have some facts, some real opinion. The Kansan invites expressions of campus thought.
One columnist thinks that it might help to create a thirst for knowledge in students to label the textbooks "83 alcohol." Even so some courses we know of would still be dry.
THE ROISTER-DOISTER
TAKES A BACK SEAT
Joe College, that coonskin wrapped, pipe-smoking, gin-drinking roister-doister of the hectic twenties, has given up the ghost. In his place has come the more dignified young cynic, spends his college days in more or less of a state of lethargy and sophistication. So says Day Edgar, Princeton man and writer of campus life stories.
The Daily Princetonian lambes this torpid state into which college students have lapped in an editorial which appears elsewhere on the editorial page of today's Kansan. The problem now, as the Princetonian sees it, is "how to sit to the American undergraduate body from its tradition of cynical lethargy and push it into the outskirts of the public struggle."
The Kansas City Journal-Post, commenting on the same subject, says that "college students can be serious enough when they care to," going on to cite the example of Latin American students overthrowing national governments.
And we dignified undergraduates feel gratified to know that someone thinks we can do things if we want to; we can feel gratified, but in that lethargic state into which writers have cataloged and condemned us, we do nothing but assume more sophistication and lapse into a more serious state of coma.
"The campaign promises my husband made during courtship didn't mean a thing," Jane Bride soaked the other night reports the Augusta Gazette.
Short Shots
The Arkansas City Traveler remarks that the testimony in the Vand堡bilt litigation indicates that whatever may have been Mrs. Reginald Vand堡bilt's delinquencies as a mother, she's pretty good company.
A nomination for dean of professors "We have a cousin who is a minister in the Church of Jesus Christ, he probed two hours because he couldn't think of the word, Amen."
"Business only wants to have a Square Deal," says David Lawrence, to which the Daily California replies: "Which company has given America in recent years?"
Advice to the laurel. From the McFheron Republican, "A smart man is one who has lots of money, falls in love with the man, and refrains from writing letters."
Our Contemporaries
THE LATE JOE COLLEGE
It has recently been brought to our attention that the day of Joe College has passed. For this enlightening bit, we ask you to join us in less than an authority than Princeton own Day Edger, writing in that self-styled "man" man; monguage, "Equacious." "A man's man" man; monguage, "According to Mr. Edger, our conversation is between a football and frat," as did that of our predecessors, and the American public is even shaken in its conviction that all undergraduates are overprotected with manners of a chinouser.
Braintreat, note Mr. Edgar, is now a characteristic of our leading institutions as loud and glorified boorishness in the last decade, and there are definite signs of a growing sense of community and self-respect on the nation's campus.
So far, so good. But even the optimistic Mr. Edgar must admit that there is a long road yet to travel. Merely to it will be hard enough, however much of a relief the change may bring to these older citizens who had to rub elbows with the young. And right at the present there seems to be an imminent danger that restraint
others do the thinking, the planning and the execution of all that the future may bring to this sadly puzzled world. Reserve is all very well, even in a college student, but like all good qualities, it also tends to be extremely extremes. And simply because it is easier to be sobbish than to be intelligent, to be a banker's son than to
social or financial reformer, the products of our oldest and best universities (the adjectives, it might be noted, are not necessarily synonymous) are contribution only a small fraction of what we have placed them in their position of opportunity. Of opportunity, and, as Dr Dobbs observed at the opening exercises yesterday, of responsibility also—as well as abbreviation using knowledge as well as abbreviation
According to Day Edgar, writing in Esquire, it is no longer collegiate to be collegiate. Restraint is the fashion in the better universities. No racoon the school colors, no ostentation display of the school colors, no ostentation display of an athletic letter.
Perhaps the most marked change is in the attitude toward football and other games. School patriotism has been diluted to such a degree that a defeat of the varsity team does not compass into profound sorrow for days.
NO LONGER 'COLLEGIATE'
playing at life, of being absorbed more in the petty ripples of campus society, and in some cases, campus politics, than in the real world, which are moving the world at large. But how to stir the American undergraduate body from its tradition of cynical lechery and push it into the abyss? The most common problem to tax the wisdom of a sage. A not entirely hopeless problem, however. Joe College, as we have seen, has passed on, and in his time he too have seemed an irremedible "evil."
Mr. Edgar, who has had a fairly wide experience in writing stories of campus life, mentions one fact of more than passing significance, namely, that most editors and readers prefer to have their undergraduate characters "amblily lamponed, treated as buits for comedy rather than as intelligent human beings," according to the deep mystery. It follows naturally from the great American college custom of
"A stubborn disinclination to commit suicide when the home team loses has been held a simp that you are growing
old," Mr. Edgar comments. "Perhaps

a more accurate diagnosis would reveal that the rooter is merely growing up. And that is the process through which a graduate American undergraduate has gone."
This growing calm about athletic contests has been noted for several years. It has been a source of much grief to old-fashioned alumnae, whose sports teams have fallen out and they return for football games. On such occasions the middle age is in search of their lost youth and they want the atmosphere to be as allowable as possible. It is unkind of the underestimation that we must be all steamed up on about the games.

After all, isn't school spirit which includes this hazing, nothing more than a bit of spiritual teamwork? Ask yourself. What is it that makes me proud and want to wear it? And that those men who cusk the army the most are invariably the best soldiers. You awwer at K. U. while you're here and brass about it when you aren't. The guys who have good enough sports to take it, why can't the sons of these dads take it?

DIVERSE OPINIONS EXPRESSED ON FRESHMAN CAP WEARING
The incoming young gentlemen can't stand the staff their Dads did when they were 13. The same people in the实验室 of Hell Week and freshman padmows when one really not paddled in them.
And many of those who entered from junior colleges, came here as special students and advanced students, are now known to the tradition of possessed by every college in the world; wearing freshman caps and hazing the freshmen. The University of Kansas would be the laughing stock state if that tradition were abolished.
College students can be serious enough when they care to. In Latin American countries they are so serious for them to overthrow governments.
dent that they could launch into promising careers, or at least net some sort of job immediately after graduation, it was easy for them to waste their energies on trivialities. But when it looks as if you may not be able to work in the industry, wearing your fastenier pin until you are 58 or so, and then only if you are lucky, you are likely to lose some of the old time interest in fancy neckties. And when you are wondering whether to line up with the Fascists or the Communists in preparation for revolutionary change, which side wins a football game.
organization has recently taken a stand on this measure. Why?
We cannot see where a great injunction has been done the freshmen in the past, and consequently, we wonder why they have so little care can wearing and a middling or two.
All we want is a square deal where
we can write back to dad and say, "We
can take it just as long as they can
dish it out."
-A freshman, R.K.
What Are Traditions?
Editor Daily Kansan:
With all this talk of tradition we might well stop and study what we call "tradition." First, it is a custom or ritual. Second, it has been generation because its founders have seen value in it; it has been built up because its adherents have seen its value.
But sooner or later there comes a school generation which doesn't know how to study, and they have no psychology, we have simply ask, Accept this thing. It is time-honored; but these new comers have asked, How can the answer has been given? Please be paddled.
Might we not better have said, "Your question deserves an answer. We'll explain to you why we observe this tradition?" Then and there we could have built our traditions. Instead we found a common one in the form of found opposition. We ought to recognize that the most we can possibly obtain from paddling is obedience, and that is not the thing we should desire. Instead of obedience with resentment we want observance with respect. The way we do it is through self. Without it the practice becomes only mechanical, enforced compliance. Let's build our traditions on a sound basis, or else frankly admit that we are not striving for respect for tradition
but for respect for paddles.
To Abolish Hazing Shang Bugrgress
Editor Daily Kansan:
K. I. U. going to be progressive or is it not? That's the question. The universities of Minnesota, Yale, Texas. The universities of Kansas, Texas. The leaders in the field of education.
Why is this true? Principally because they have caught the true spirit of education. It is significant that upon discovering a practice or custom to be out-moded, they have discarded it. In that lies their vitality.
Once all of them practiced having; now it has been abolished in all. But does there exist better school spirit, or more respect for traditions than we find in these schools? And yet, they have developed and preserved this same spirit without paddles; obviously, they have seen the inefficacy of paddles as instruments for the building of respect, or acceptance of an amoebalism the same than
Lest Thursday the Kanen reprintes an article from another paper in which the editor congratulated K. U. on her consideration of the problem, and exclaimed in ridding herself of this custom which "gained root during the 'hey,' hey' colleague era." Are we going to maintain our reputation or maintain our reputation of being first to adopt newer and better methods? Is K. U. going to be in the front ranks of the parades or will she wait until she is old enough to question? Students, this issue is up to us!
