Single copies, 5 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1934 TO A VOTE accredited as second class master, September 2010, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan. Last night a matter which should be of great interest to our entire student body came before the Men's Student Council, namely, the decision of the question, "Should Freshmen be Hazed?" Various alternatives were discarded, with the council coming to a final conclusion to put the whole matter to a vote of the men of the school. There are two sides taken on the question of having. Those organizations which have in the past and present seen fit to use paddles as a compelling measure for the wearing of freshman caps insists that the paddling is done first of all because the wearing of the caps is one of the few remaining traditions on our campus and needs to be upheld, and secondly, because up to the present time paddling is the only means by which this tradition may be enforced and kept in existence. The opposition, those men who signed and introduced the petition against hazing, holds that paddling is not only an unsatisfactory means of upholding tradition, but has caused bodily injuries to a number of students in the past and has also brought down the ridicule of outsiders upon the heads of the student body for allowing such "childishness." The matter is to be voted upon by the men of the University as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. Every student should realize his responsibility in helping to decide this important question fairly. We hope the weather continues warm so we won't miss the report of the World's Series while we're walking along the streets. VOICELESS SPECTATORS Amid loud cheers and yells the University of Kansas football team runs into the stadium for the first game of the season. The men are hailed by the students as heroes of the hour. The men on the team are not considered individually, but as a group-eleven men who will be kicked in the face and thrown down in the mud by eleven more men. When their useful minutes in the game are exhausted, they are substituted with fresh men and the crowd is delighted to see new hope going into the fray. The football hero, cheered at the outset of the game, now comes limping off the field. He has played a good game, keeping the opponents from taking out important players. Do the students rise as a body when he goes across the field to the bench? Do they acknowledge his return in any way with a school song or yell? No, he returns not noticed to the bench on the far side of the field from the Kansas rooting system, for by this time the crowd is no longer interested in the player who is out, but is intent upon the progress of the team in the next play. The University of Kansas is the largest university in the state and is looked to for the correct and best ways for meeting situations. But there are very few small town high schools in Kansas that don't go wild with cheering when a worthy man is drawn. Is loyalty of this sort considered small township by the University student or is it just a lack of school spirit? With Kansas City jittery over compulsory home work for the little laddies and lassies, with the University of Kansas exhausted over the question of compulsory wearing of class caprs for the lads a few years older, and with Kansas State rocked out of its normal tranquility over compulsory military training for grown up hemen, educational leaders are all set to present a united, pacific, all-season national convention of high school students of journalism who will soon be flocking into this scene of unrest. Campus Opinion Editor, Daily, Kanson; In submitting the question of having to a vote of the whole student body the council took a step we think many people will appreciate. Quite obviously this is the only fair way of settling the question. No one wishes to see it made a political foot-stretch. Clearly the question is one which should be answered, but the whole school, and it must voice its opinion. The K-Club has expressed willingness to end the practice, if it proves that is what the school wished to do. At last we have an opportunity to abolish this inefficient and silly lash- over from the bygone days when hazing was really out and out torture was needed to be a part of every man's experience regardless of what he did.

When the faculty members of the MBA program have received service and have dived, whether retired or not, the university has shown its appreciation of their long years of friendship with the students by flying the flag at half-mast. It is proper that this should be so. For when a man has served well and been as faithful as most of the faculty members are, he is entitled to receive the award, which can be shown his memory. But if this be proper, then it is proper that no such thought be given to the student who is unfortunate enough to meet his death while attending school? It is not necessary to be noted or to be of a great service to the community. But he is an intragal part of the university; he is a member of the student body. And as such he is entitled to at least a measure of the respect shown the faculty member. It is not necessary that he be an intragal student to be mourned by the student body. He need not have accomplished great things or spoken mighty words to be remembered by the students. It is enough for them that he was one of their group. As such they would like to teach this subject. This can best be done by flinging the hat at half-mast, because it is a symbol for the things which we would like to say about the passing of our friends and friends. It is also a well-communicating speaking, the university is bowing its head to his memory. It is the least it can do. It is not a sign of weakness to reverce the dead. Rather we should learn about devotion and also of sorrow. We advertise in order that the public may better understand what the Bell System is doing, and why it does it. In this way we keep customers and prospective customers informed of our aims, policies and progress. We advertise in order to aid the telephone customer in making the best possible use of his service. As our advertising influences one person after another to use the telephone more effectively, the service rendered every other user is correspondingly improved. -A Friend. we advertise We advertise because we have a varied service to sell and by selling more of it we increase its value to each user. Because of the nature of the telephone business, it is our duty to inform the public continuously of the character and varied kind of service we provide. In line with this broad plan, we find real opportunity in addressing messages to college and university people in their own publications, just as we also vary our advertising for women's magazines, farm papers and so on. 1934-35 is the fifteenth year during which the Bell System has published advertisements which take college men behind the scenes of Bell Telephone service. Short Shots The course, Bull Sction A. is back on the schedule at Northwestern. In the catalog the course is described as "The Newspaper and Foreign Affairs". Which probably might be taken to mean the course of dedication is given to the other courses. Knowledge of love depends on how one groups the subject, say the men at Armour Tech. Vital statistics. An investigation at the University of Iowa shows that one out of every eleven campus engagements results in marriage. --- Our Contemporaries THE INVISIBLE BARRIER The Collegia. Senator Nayar, sharp-eyed investigator, who for a time was shocked several times by the murders inquires, he has met with a familiar fate. He has been forced to tone down his findings and mute the publicity to a whisper. Senator Nayar does It seems impossible to find and publish the truth. Before higher-ups brought pressure to bear, Senator Nye had shown some pretty rotten things about the munitions gang, who traffic in the world's blood. But after all, he was only an honest senator and a bit more cynical than most. So he received the well-known sign. How long will the public stand for this? Who shut off the spot-light Every honest, clean-handed investigator who is on the trail of criminality and trickery of others almost invariably reaches a place where he receives orders to slow up and finally quit. especially is that true if the investigation threatens those in high places, financially or politically. OLD FAMILIAR CLOTHES PIN FINDS PLACE IN LABORATORY Students at Kansas Find a Time- and Money-Saver in the Old Pin; Found in Zoology, Botany, and Entomology Halls, but Has Yet to Win Niche in Chemistry Housewives, grass widows, and women in general who are trying to skimp on their laundry huts by doing their own washing; also people who are doing laundry work are most familiar with the clothes pin. Strange as it may seem, the clothes pin which is old as our grandmother's winning shirt in the garret, was never before used extensively for anything other than a tie or a sweater. Even students in the plant anatomy class of the department of botany have discovered this fall a new and handy use for this homely household device. "Like noveltys and fashiones that became so popular, this new idea which I just bought here will soon spread elsewhere," she said in the deartment is quoted. The clothes pin was first tried i students of plant anatomy as a sul situate for test tube holders and forceps. It was also found handy in the cutting of plant tissues. In the entomology classes, the women are using forceps to pinch fingers against tough and moist looking bugs, insects and other such creatures. The pin is used for the most part to hold the specimen while he is being sketched. Zoologists-to-be are also used hats pins for holders in dissecting. Californian Daily Brief When a student in the plant anatomy class was asked why he prefers the clothes巾 to the test tube and the forerunner, I ask him about his advantages. Of course it has also its defects. Anyway, I leave these matters to the manufactures of clothes巾. You see, I don't want my mother to wear a cotton garment of her clothes巾 this morning." which was shining into the rat hole? Why not the truth? That would be a real new deal. ABOLISH HAZING Petitions are being circulated by students at the University of Kansas asking for the abolishment of freshman hazing. Should enough signatures be obtained, the student self-governing council should answer to a vote of the student body. There isn't the least justification for the barricative content of hazing that spread through the country and gained a firm root in college life during the "hey, hey" collegiate era. It should be permitted to die because it is silly and insensitive to the tradition of college freshmen suffer serious injuries as the result of hazing in the hundreds of colleges and universities where it is still practiced. Hazing belongs to the generation of college boys who made themselves conspicuous and generally despised by their hilarious extremes. It is one of the last reminders of the fellow who were bagy knickers and flashy sweaters, who smoked pipes with class notes, who played pictures of co-eds on their silencers and silly signs on the bodies of their model T Fords. Freshman hazing is doomed. It must go the route of similar foolish custom that represented college life to the unformed outsider. Kansas University might well be proud to join the more educated students, but be among the first in this section of the country to toss it in the discard heap forever.
