Kansas Freshmen
Lucky in Choice of Name
For Traditional Caps
As the Freshman prepare to do, his cap for the upcoming year he can breathe a prayer before he graduates. The "freshman cap" rather than other paired pupsies which have been given it at other schools with even more intensive indignities on his head.
At the University of Florida the cap is known as a "rat" cap, and all freshman are "rats" with an attendant "rat day" each month. At the University of California the cap is known as a "dink."
These are not the only names that have been applied to this lowly chapeau as other schools enlist it a "bonnet" or a "beanie."

A project to be known as the CSEE Co-operative Meal Plan where students may obtain muesls at the caterer Henry Werner, his student's adviser. Henry Werner, his student's adviser.
A charge of $2.50 a week, for 17 meals will be made to cover the cost of the food and its preparation. The average food meal will be slightly less than 15 cents.
"It is to be a purely co-operative enterprise," says Dean Werner, "and is to have no element of charity in it." It is based on the proposition that at least 50 persons agree to eat in the cafeteria as regular patrons; all are to take the same food, but with a selection of items and meals are to be planned so as to afford a balanced diet and to provide sufficient nourishment for a normal student life.
The plan is open to anyone. One hundred ninety-four have already signified their interest in such a project.
In order to protect the cafeteria and other eating houses, applicants for the meals must sign the following statement: "I wish to participate in the activity plan. Without the aid of this plan I will be unable to attend the University."
Bernard Zuber, Former Student, Takes Own Life
There will be no meals served on Saturday evening nor on Sunday.
Brother of Famous K. U
Grid Star Had Been
Injured
Bernard Zuber, former student in 1925-7, who had been a hopeless cripple for almost a year, following an accident in which his cousin was killed committed suicide at his little home in northeast Keele City vesterley.
He shot himself with a 32 calibre revolver, while his wife, Ruby Johnson Zuber, was away on an errand.
Dr. Harold Zuber, his brother, and a star football player for Kansas in 1926-7, said the act was undoubtedly due to despondency.
Zuber was injured Sept. 24, 1933, when a wagon in which he and Robert Zuber were riding was struck by an automobile. Robert Zuber was instantly killed, and Bernard was taken to the general hospital with a broken back and fine his brother. Dr. Bernard Zuber, the interior well-suited the case.
For many months every effort of medical science was made to relieve Zuber's condition. His wife, who was a journalism major, and was graduated from the University in 1928, made every effort to cheer him.
June 26, when Zuber appeared a trifle stronger, and more cheerful, they obtained a small cottage on the river front. There Mrs. Zubro continued her day-and-night light to cheer him and relieve his suffering.
They had been married less than a year when the accident occurred, and for several months had been published. They were later sent on to the northeast section of Kansas City.
Yesterday Mrs. Zuber went to home of a relative nearby to get some flowers and gave her the news that she found her husband dead. He left no note. Mrs. Zuber said she did not know him.

Some years ago somebody at the Santa line mission picked up from a boat a seal skin from an island of sleepskin binding from a book of the mass. It resembled handwork executed by Indian Neophytes renowned as their excellent leather work.
The specimen was preserved in a locked cabinet by the Capuchin Fathers, guardians of the mission, Friday. Arthur Woodward, curator of history at the Los Angeles museum, examined the "parchment".

'FEOSH SCHEDULED FOR DIP IN LAKE DUCK THEIR FOES
Reno, Nev. Sept. 14. — What was scheduled as an orderly and routine laking of belligerent neophytes suddenly became a free for all on the shores of Manzanita lake this afternoon when two-thirds of the fresh class turned out on mense to hand the trash to the committee a thorough shellacking.
Coming to the aid of the eleven frogs originally listed for a bath, droves of yearling— not unlike the Germanic hordes which invaded Gaul during the seventh century— took the second year in typical H型 storm troop fadios.
When the melce had finally subdued every epsh in sight had hit the water, and to the dismay of upperclassman it was discovered that Paul Turner, chairman of the upperclass committee, was among the dripping.

HAZING PETITION SIGNED BY 400 MEN STUDENTS
Brubaker Says Handling of Freshmen Will Now Be Put Up to Council; Would Drop Traditions
MYKLAND DISAGREES
President of Men's Council Thinks K-Club Plans Are 'Not Too Severe'
At noon yesterday Otis Brubaker, c'35, head of a committee protesting against freshman hazing, claimed that enough names had been signed to a petition, addressed to the Men's Student Council and asking action on the matter, to require that body to pass the petition or to submit the question to a general vote of Hill students.
The number of signatures, according to Brubaker, was around 400, which is considerably more than the required 10 percent of the men students which numbered approximately 2500 last year. The desk containing the petitions was located in the Central Administration building directly in front of the registration room, gistering men students passed. The committee was particularly anxious to have upperclassman sign the petition, Brubaker announced.
"We are not attempting to fight K.U. traditions," he said. "We are not objecting to the wearing of freeman caps, but to the hating which goes on in connection with it. We don't think hazing or paddling will ever develop respect for our officers and the committee would propose to enforce the wearing of the caps was unexplained.
When asked if the handbill announcing a lecture on socialism by John Ise, which appeared on the desk had a connection with the cause he supported, Brubaker said that they did not, his knowledge, have placed them without his knowledge.
Gunnar Mykland, e35, president of the Men's Student Council and last year chairman of the Traditions Com- munity, said the side of the other side of the question.
"Every University needs school spirit. Kansas has little enough of its traditions left as it is." The wearing of the freshman cap, if conducted properly, as I am sure it will be under scrutiny and if I am in keeping the shirt sire," be said.
A rumor was abraided that Roy McCauley, secretary of the YMCA was called a thief when he said he had nothing to do with the origination of the petition, but declined to answer.
Just when Brubaker will present the petition before the Council is not known.
