FRESHMEN. YOUR CAPS!
For freshmen, tomorrow brings a challenge—a call to school spirit, color, and tradition on one hand, to individual liberty and mass freedom on the other.
Tomorrow the freshman cups will be denoted; Thursday they will be worn. Some will act voluntarily in full accord with the plan; others will be reluctant, a little embittered by what may be a show of the ridiculous, a little fearful of the penalties, a little vague as to the requirements.
To some, the matter of caps is distasteful; to others it is a living vital part of college life, marking a period of change from the closeted life of the old home town to the expansive field of the college. The caps are a sign of unity—one class, one purpose—a group beginning together a career in college, starting at the bottom, unashamed of the common errors, unafraid of the "super-intelligence" of those above.
Freshmen, will you flaunt your class colors, and in virile and red-blooded manner uphold traditions held sacred by thousands of Kansans from every inch of Kansas? Do you want to join voluntarily in the spirit of autumn, make yourselves a unit in the inspired splendor of the season's activities; be as colorful as clashing teams on the gridiron and as full of life as the vibrant marches of the bands?
Freshmen, to your caps! Salute your Alma Mater with the vim and vitality and spunk of the great class that you are! Be proud of your school, but above that, right now be proud of your own class!
It wouldn't be surprising to see a news reel of Princess Minnie pinning a medal on Princess Umberto one of these days. Or does If Duce care very much about girl babies?
THE WEST LOOKS FORWARD
Official registration figures this year show that the enrollment has almost equaled that of the peak year, 1930, and has increased 9.2 per cent over last year.
The fact seems incredible when 1930 is recalled in the light of present conditions. In that year the public had not yet begun to feel the effects of the depression nor to realize that a long period of struggle lay ahead. Today there are few who have been untouched by the years of hardship and who have not joined in the common battle against discouragement and disorganization.
A heartbreaking summer has just drawn to a close. Hot winds swept across the middle west, picking up the fine dry soil and bleaching the corn in the fields. The hard work of spring planting and feeding resulted in failure of crops and loss of cattle. Yet, in the face of such discouragement, the families of Kansas are sending their sons and daughters to the University.
It often means deep sacrifice on the part of family and desperate struggle for the student. The question is raised as to whether the result is worth such hardship. The people of Kansas believe that it is. Stories of drought have excited panic in the East. Here in the midst of the stricken area the situation is faced with courage and optimism. The pioneering spirit of the west has not died. It will live as long as the people live who have loved and worked this land. May the sons and daughters of Kansas develop and strengthen that same spirit in this University.
TO MISSOURI CONDOLENCES
With open houses scheduled for the next few weekends, the Greeks of Kansas may well extend sympathy to their sisters of Missouri. Secure in the anticipation of long, exhausting evenings to be spent stumbling and bumping through the traditional crowds of stags, we feel for the Missouri sorority girl who has been deprived of one of her heretofore unquestioned privileges.
A guest list limited to 200—an average of only three stags per girl! It is little better than dictatorship to have "recommendations" of this sort made. Isn't it surprising that we haven't heard something of rights being trampled upon?
After all, what could be more inalienable than the rights of a select group of young ladies to dance in a room lined five deep with stags? Wouldn't it destroy the whole spirit of the occasion for a girl to know that by no remotely possible combination of circumstances could she parcel our her dances between more than 200 men?
So pity the poor Greeks at Misourt. But here on Mount Orea—on with the dance!
HANDS ACROSS THE SEA
Little Joe Savali in beginning his college education has found out that there is one place where second best does not pay: draw poker
Two men from a distant continent have arrived at the University —one a student, the other a teacher. An American takes his seat in the lecture rooms of a German University. Hands have reached across the ocean in friendly co-operation, in kind brotherhood, in hope of future understanding.
Perhaps, politically, we do not share the same ideas as our guests from across the sea; perhaps, as we part in the spring we may still cling dogmatically to the political ego that we may call our own national consciousness, perhaps we shall remain critical of the government of the other. Yet perhaps this may not be true; with the association that is made possible, we may each view the problems of the other with understanding, with an intelligent background, with sympathy, with a clearness of mind that can only be secured with first hand contact and understanding.
To these men from Europe welcome, may their stay in恩来 be most pleasant we
To these men from Europe welcome, may their stay in Lawrence be most pleasant and profitable.
These intermittent a utum n freshets that have greeden up the lawns and started the dandelions to blooming again—and the moon—reminds us, oh so much, of spring.
HARVEST MOON
As Mount Oread becomes silent a huge orange eclipse appears over the eastern horizon. The harves moon shines down upon a rapt student, reluctant to leave the enjoyment of a perfect fall evening and settle down over his books.
The sun sinks low in the west, sending its last long rays across the sky. The Wakurusa valley changes to blue in the approaching twilight, and the massive hills to the south become outlines against the sky. A lusty Kansas breezes, fragrant with the smell of earth, sweeps from broad, dim fields below.
The first few months of school is the time that good impressions

PARENTS HAVE
The kids are leaving for their various colleges. One wonders, sometimes just how much the young folk appreciate what their parents are doing for them that they may attain their must-sought-for education. Some parent are denying themselves many pleas to pursue their own interests; youngsters may have the advantage of a college education. Homes are brokened up; the mother goes to the college town with her children that she may keep house for them and thus cut down expenses, while Dad must remain a child in the dustbin at the归宿 his home life is broken or become more or less an outcast—all that the children may be given such advantages that will, it is hoped, prepare them to face the world and perhaps win signal honors. What a glorious thing this planning for the future has been. The sacrifices, the self-denial, the anticitation! All that Jimmy or Mary may meet the right people, may do this or that. The ambiguous parents have the child-like faith and eternal hope in Santa Claus that their planning and care for their beloved offspring will come on purified and one of the Elect, since they have been pledged to some ferauror or secrecy. And after the four-year course daughter marries a bus driver and comes home to live with the family, which is in lieu of the white collar job he anticipated. Everybody is discouraged and the whole family thinks the world is out of joint. After a time a mother bird grows tired of rustling for her young takes the younger out of the nest, so that it soon learns to make the grade on its own steam. Everyone has a panacea for all this. The mother bird's program has withstood the ravages of time and whether her young up and call her blessed no one knows what to expect, or appreciate the sacrifices their parents make for them.
THAT CHILD LIKE FAITH
Great Bend Tribune.
criticism by Former Kansan Editor Wins Praise of Publish
A book review written by Chiles Coleman, AB, 34, and former editor of the Daily Kansan, was reprinted as the substance of a full page advertisement for "The Discovery of the Elements," by Mary Evira Weeks.
Appearing first in the Kausan last year, the review was used by the publishers, because of the merit and quality of the criticism.
"It is the fascinating story of the men who worked and thought—who sacrificed for the advancement of science in the discovery of the Elements.
"The story she tells, however, is not one of cold scientific fact. It is a living, breathing drama of men, men whose intellects have brought order out of chaos, its insight and preseverance which it possesses. It portrays them as human beings, not as robots who with mechanical fingers poured liquids from test tube to crucible. It not only records what they have accomplished into their lives, their environments to know how and how they accomplished it.
"The Discovery of the Elements is not a textbook. Although written with the purpose of co-ordinating a heterogeneous mass of detail into an orderly and unified narrative for the chemist and his work, it has nevertheless a much wider appeal for the layman who would appreciate the thrill of discovery and the satisfaction of achievement. With the discovery of each of the 92 elements of the periodic table of achievement, a story of triumph after continued disappointment . . .
"Written, intelligently organized.
The Discovery of the Elements accomplishes a difficult and comprehensive task. To be to fresh, strightly and abstraction.
Miss Weeks, author of the book, is associate professor of chemistry at the University. The advertisement based on Mr. Coleman's review was published in the August issue of the Journal of Chemical Education.

The government has gone in for student-aid relief in a big way this fall. But the Iola Register says it knows of the doctors who have been on it for years.
Fashion Note. The news that the latest styles in dresses for women but not men will give some bustle bachls chills, double-laced corsets come back, then some men will have a real job cinching the girth, says the Wifredine Wildly
Chet Shore of Augusta concludes that after a girl wins a beauty prize she's forever spoiled for housework.
"The next time you want to take a bath on the public square," writes the Garnett Review, "read over the following city ordinance, which was discovered the other day by Lawyer Rodman of Duluth, who says the limits of this city indecently expose his person, or shall commit a nuisance in a public or exposed place, or shall undress their person to bathe, between the hours of妒灸 and sunset, in any place where they are not convinced therefore be fined not more than one (1 dollar nor more than fifty (50) dollars). This all goes to show how Garnett citizens have been deprived of their constitutional rights. Why, you see, they walk on the sidewalk until after dark."
A. college, says the McPherson Republic, is a place where youngsters are trained to want more than they have the ability to earn.
One of these days, says the Fort Scott Tribune, worriedly, when we're walking behind one of these new-funfled buildings to start up forward and run over us.
An eastern bachelor sure knew when he was well off, remarks the Downi News. He willed all his property to the three women who rejected his proposals with the words: "To them I owe all my earthly happiness."
