WHAT'S THE "HAZING"
ARGUMENT?
As it stands the freshman so-called "hazing" argument is a ridiculous muddle. The protesting committee writes unintentionally humorous petitions asking for the elimination of hazing while at the same time declaring themselves in favor of observing the old traditions. The point at which enforcement of rules ends and "hazing" begins is not discernible in the smoke and clamor of battle.
The K club outlines its rules for freshmen, without mentioning whether or not they are supposed to "button" to everyone from the broad-bouldered athlete to the sneering sophomore, or what they are to do when they pass the school flag. The club demands that traditional rules be enforced, and promises that no violence will be done to the person of any freshman. Whether or not K men consider padling to be violence, no one knows.
If the bombast that is at present making most of the campus feel a little ashamed of itself is to cease and a sensible conclusion is to be reached, both parties in the argument would do well to decide what they are arguing about and formulate plans for a definite procedure of enforcing traditional rules.
A committee could then be named, to work in connection with either the K club or the Men's Student Council, for the purpose of receiving and judging complaints of freshmen who think they have been mistreated. This committee could prescribe penalties for any K man or other upperclassman who has practiced brutality or unnecessary roughness in the enforcing of rules, or who tried to enforce illegal "rules" of his own making.
The first step might well be the clear statement by the K club of all its rules in regard to freshmen, including enumeration of some of those things that freshmen do not have to do but which have been demanded of them by irresponsible persons in the past, as well as what they must do in order to behave like traditional freshmen.
Until this rumpus gets itself out of the fog it will never be much more than an inspiration to campus and town wiscrackers.
IT IS NEARING
This business of getting started has been a long drawn out affair, more so for some students than for others. For some, registration began over a week ago, enrollment came several days later. There were long lines to wait in, longer intervals between the few events during which there was nothing in particular to do. And now two days of classes have passed—that is, class sessions—in which a few assignments are made, in which professors try to frighten out the least suspecting individuals if the class is large, or opens up an enticing outlook if the class is too small.
Another week, and the first real drive down the old line toward scholastic attainments will at last be under way. No more days of waiting, no more long lines to see the deams, that college idea is just about here, but over a week of official college life has passed.
WAR CLOUDS
Is another great war in Europe approaching? If not why has Italy issued the most drastic military ordinance that has ever been known in its history—an ordinance that will involve boys from the age of eight upwards, and will no doubt establish Italy as one of the world's greatest military powers?
Hitlerism in Germany has organized forces which have already shown that they will stop at nothing in the way of force to satisfy any goal they may set, bloodshed and sabotage being the order of the day. The warrior stands first in Europe today, and with him in this place war is only the next step.
There is some questioning as to whether a war in Europe would involve America. If this occurred it would involve the college student and others of his age. America has had enough war, yet American institutions are reverting, too, to war practice as seen in the reprint, "Ohio State Restores Compulsory Drill," appearing in today's Our Contemporary columns. American youth does not want war for any reason. The college student of today, and his less fortunate brother of the same age, are more interested in making a home and happiness for themselves than in fighting old men's quarrels for them, while they sit back benignly and watch the slaughter of thousands that their machinations have brought on.
If war comes to Europe may America stay aloof, and use the folly of others for its profit rather than its loss.
Any mediocre student who has passed through the torment of a final week can easily understand the state of mind that drove the German bartender to take poison rather than face his final citizenship test in Kansas City the other day.
COLLEGE HOKUM
Well, little freshmen, the fanfare is just about over. Before long now, you'll be settling down to some good, honest work, of the
celebrated and unusing variety.
But don't be too downhearted.
There's plenty of the old hokum left. Those crisp October nights just around the corner will soon be resounding with "r-a-lay, r-a-lay, r-a-lay." The long series of open house brawns will endeavor to broaden the social life of newcomers on the campus. And of course, members of the feminine contingent may always be comforted by their 9-out-of-10 chances at being beauty queens. Ten freshman beauty queens—ten sophomores, ten juniors, ten seniors—a football queen and a relay team. Who said that the skids had been put under royalty. Surely the one who made that rash statement was overlooking our institutions of higher learning. So here's to the great American ideal of education.
Our Contemporaries
OHIO STATE RESTORES COMPULSORY DRILL
After all the hubbub regarding military drill at Ohio State university, the authorities at that institution have taken one logical, if regretful, way to prevent it from happening. I notified this year's entering class that there will be no exemptions from R.O.T.C. enrollment on grounds of depliance. The decision is depliable; only the day will come when American education officials will induct with incredulity to a period when a part of its curriculum was controlled by the war machine. But the decision, bad as it is, is better than the degree of consciousness between degrees of conceivedness. State tried to follow last year. The university authorities will find it far easier to administer a regulation which insists that every student must take a course by which a board, including least one army officer, assumed to determine whether a man was telling the truth or lying when he claimed that his conscience objected to his joining a new ruling serve notice on the youth of Ohio that if they desire to attend its tax-supported university they must

be prepared to get into army uniform. But that is a clean-cut issue, with no fuzzy edges, the churches and labor and the other groups opposed to war without getting involved in a mix of irrelevant personalities. Will the churches pick up the challenge which the university authorities have now thrown down? Despite their resolution, the individual ministers, the churches of Ohio as a whole cannot be said to have shown any overwhelming desire to fight through the issue of the comission against the out of the university last year. Ever the attempt to secure a court review of the arbitrary action of the university committee awakened little enthusiasm in church quarters. Now that the commission has been raised, will the churches show an more readiness to tackle it?
Tryouts for the K. U. Drumline club will be held Monday, Sept. 24 and Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 2:30 in the Little Theatre in Green hall. All students are invited.

Some wonderful things are coming over the radio these days, says the Jobi Register. Recently an official of the department of agriculture at Washington was broadening advice to the farmers. "The thing for you to do," the Registrar quotes him as saying, "is to listen to the public comments. Buy you a pair of mugs made, and raise mule coats and you will find it pays big dividends."
To which the Winfield Daily Courter adds "That music idea is going over in Washington. Back there they were playing joke at all in the above paragraph."
Now if another new disgust would only tell us that Creoby, Jackrens and a few more crooners had gone to the same place, a lot of us would be willing to let well enough alone and not quibble over that ultimate destination.

Anti blushing as Julie assumes the life of a deeply romantic, sensitive but deep villain in Ireland and as her husband, Rupert whom she no longer loves, is engaged behind the war lines for his country. Germany. Julie, alone among hostile Europeans, falls into the hands of Bon Van Leyden, finds the walls of boneyard glamorous world crumbling around her. The war, whose remoteness is but a faint but vital background, brings her childhood sweetheart, Lewis Alison, English musician, to school. Alison, who in war or prison or castle is seeking that which he feels vital in life—pence—wins from Julia an expression of her present unhappiness, and feels kindling for her. It is not long before the aviator is received in Julie's suite, where she plays on a claichord. During many hours spent in this innocent pastime, they become unmistakable in their return. Rupert with the intention of frankly confessing their love.

Jen Hearshis, as common as an old shoe, acts in contrast with the other characters who seem stilted, sophisticated, and inlined to discuss high minded subjects. His acting, by its simplicity, stands out.
At first it is pity, then love, that he hold for him; and Alison returns to his mumuscripts. The cold love of Sophia, Julie's step-parent, who secretly adores her, turns to her one of the most hungriest outfits she has disloches the intimate relations of Julie and Alison. Rupert, still courageous, on his deathbed relinquishes to the couple happiness which could not have been possible to any of them had he suvived.
