WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1934 NUDIST AGGIES? Such shocking immodesty, Manhattan! Such ungarmed indecency, Aggieville! What believer of new thought, free love, or the kinship of the flesh and sunshine would dare transgress on the sacred grounds of a conservative campus with its staid individualism and its belief in moral uplift and righteous thought? First it was a revolt by a college editor against the tyranny of an administration; then it was the revolt of a brain trust against the old deal. But these came from the campuses of the East, and almost anything might be expected to come out of the East. But this! In our own Middle West! In our own Kansas! The last time we saw you in such a state as this was down by the old swimming hole, but that was many, many years ago. Maybe it was a hoax, Manhattan, and maybe it was not. Perhaps modern thought is passing us by at Lawrence, or maybe the Kaw is too cold and tricky. THE ACTIVITY TICKET AGAIN The problem of the activity ticket reared its head again in the recent student election. The plan was started only last semester, and a proposal to remove it already seems to be a hasty move which doesn't allow the ticket a fair trial. Last year the student government provided for a convoitation to debate the merits and demirises of the plan before a special election on the matter. In that election 1,738 students voted, with a majority of 106 favoring the ticket. It was felt that the vote was not sufficiently representative, and each student was given a ballot along with his second-semester registration blanks. Two thousand voted this time, with a majority of 200 favoring the ticket. The board of regents accepted the plan and it went into effect last fall. It became apparent that not everybody could afford the ticket and some could not use it because of conflicting schedules. Applications for exemption were allowed and the cases were studied by a committee. Five hundred eighty-six petitions for exemption were made the first semester, and 330 were granted. Of 294 petitions the second semester, 70 were granted. The CSEP helped to lower the latter number granted. It is likely that many of the objectors are against the ticket because they have already formed their conceptions of school expenses under the old system and they find it hard to adjust themselves to a budget requiring the additional expense. The freshmen will not find the adjustment so The advantages of the plan are apparent to those who care for the activities included in the ticket. Those who do not attend lectures and concerts are in the minority, and interest in those functions will probably increase among new students if admittance is provided for under the co-operative plan. difficult, except in the case of those who are financially strained, and these latter may use the exemption privilege. An element of "gag rule" was introduced in the recent election when the right to vote was extended to those only who held activity tickets. This was not fair to opponents of the plan. But the activity ticket should be given an honest trial over a period of two or three years. WHEN THE SENIORS SHOW OFF It has been announced that senior invitations are ready for ordering, and those desiring them should place their orders now. To seniors who have worked for four long years or more, with this announcement comes the realization that at last—if they so wish—they can invite the whole wide world to see them walk down the Hill and carry away a prized diploma. Most of our worldly-wise seniors have talked lightly of being college students, and joked about the good of having a "sheepskin" to hang on the wall. Yet now that they are about to leave the school where they have alternately toiled and played, the majority of them are proud to send home an invitation to Mother and Dad, to Aunt and Uncle, and all the rest of the family circle who might send congratulations in the form of a tie or a pair of socks. By commencement time the seniors will have reached the top rung of one ladder. Soon they must get out and start working at the bottom again. TO THE INTELLIGENT STUDENT Were the conventional title of this editorial printed, no one would read it. No one should read it. No benefit whatsoever will ever be realized as a result of what follows. No benefit can ever come as a result of printed matter as long as it is not read by an intelligent audience. No one of any intelligence would ever read an editorial on "Cheating," for the simple reason that he, the reader, knows exactly what will be said. In discussing cheating, cribbing, copying, and the related forms of conventional dishonesty, only the moral aspect can be considered; and when it is considered, the average student turns away. Should the average student be told that he cheats because he possesses a perverted sense of values; that he is so smugly prejudiced that he doesn't see that an A means, in a great many cases, much less than a C; that a Phi Beta Kappa key suspended from his watch chain twenty years hence merely looks nice; that he is receiving his allowance to gain an education, not to be graduated; were he told this, the average student would raise his hands in horror and continue his cheating. In fact, that is exactly what happens. POLO FOR KANSAS Many students watched with interest the instigation of polo at the University by several Hill athletes. The sport held an element of novelty for the majority of the students; they probably never saw a polo match outside the movies. It was also a surprise to these interested observers to learn that other Big Six schools had polo teams, the idea of competition in this particular sport in all probability had not even entered their minds before. Somehow, a large portion of the students had associated polo with the East and the very rich, so that when it was brought immediately before them it proved to be a welcome diversitement. There seems to be no reason, outside of possible financial ones, why the University should not maintain a polo team and enter into Big Six competition. The game holds thrills which rival hose of the football game, and a great deal of real fascination. It's a clean sport and would no OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN There will be a regular meeting of A.S.M.E. Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in room 210 Marvin hall.

If evident student support is needed for its survival it might be suggested that those interested in the maintenance of polo endeavor to solicit student and faculty opinion. A new idea such as this calls for strong support, and those desiring a new thrill from the field of competition may well lend their aid in any way that they can. Fifteen ushers are needed for Saturday afternoon. See Mr. Alphin, 105 Robinson gymnasium. HERBERT G. ALLPHIN. Since it pleases those who authorize parties on the Hill to have nearly as many on one night as they please, it is up to the organizations on the Hill to help with the situation as much as they can and employ as many Hill musicians as they can. To do otherwise is not only disloyal but is also unfair. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: CAROL HUNTER, President. The other defense of the organizations is that due to the closed night system their party may fall on a night on which there may be so many other parties that a band must be brought in from outside. This is the only deference they can give to the fault of the organization that such a situation is allowed to exist. Much thought and time has been devoted to the problem of establishing means by which the self-supporting student may work his way through college. Not only this, but also money has been spent, and concrete, definite plans have been made and action taken for the furtherance of this aid except in one field. That field is music. In spite of all pleading and sound reasoning, music are still allowed in other towns and no one but those musicians concerned both to wonder if the three orchestras on the Hill are working. Such a situation is unfair not only because all of the members of these three bands are students at K. U, but also because of the fact that a great number of the well-tuned bands provide music that is not as good as that produced by the local bands. Usually the organization's main defense is that bands from outside can be obtained much cheaper than the local outfits. In time past, because of this objection special prices have been made ranging from nearly a fifty per cent cut in their former price to an offer to buy them at a low price. This merely resulted in a different excuse, and the situation instead of being bettered became worse. The Syracuse Daily Orange. J. H. The idea savors strongly of the new trend away from "rugged individualism" which is taking place not only in political and economic life but in other activities as well. Even in education it is becoming apparent that individuals must merge their interests with the whole of society. A system of education which succeeds only in making some people feel superior and casting down others is not in keeping with the spirit of the new age. Dr. Gosling admits that it is not easy for youth to accept the doctrine of non-competition. They began life as individualists and have dreams of striving for high ideals and achieving great things. Later in life they will realize that progress of civilization is dependent not so much on the great deeds of a few geniuses as on the contributions made by the multitude of the undistinguished. CAMPAIGN MATERIAL? Oklahoma Daily A pedagogue named Dr. William A. Wirt of Gary, Ind., is the instigator of this seemingly insipid accusation that a communistic regime is in the making under Roosevelt's nose and that a Stalin is lurking in the background waiting for the day when Roosevelt will be swept aside. Without an issue for the forthcoming congressional election, republicans have hit upon the idea of making Press Secretary Alexandra McConkey the hands of a communitarian brain trust. However, should the investigation reveal that republicans are only trying to cook up campaign material it would leave them still stranded. Roosevelt's popularity is still strong enough to offset any direct charges against him. One of two things should result. If there is factual evidence behind the accusation then the republicans will have competent campaign material. This seems very unlikely in the face of the president's action in advocating "concessions with teeth" in them in the face of condemnation by the brain trust. But not to be outdone so easily democrats have moved speedily toward an all-in-one agenda. Also should the investigation exorate the administration, voters should be quick to send agitating republicans to a smashing defeat. THREE STUDENTS HONORED IN ART DESIGNING CONTEST As for Doctor Wirt, the investigation will reveal his position—goat or hero. The design department of the University has recently received word that three students were given honor mention in the recent Young Designers Fashion contest sponsored by Marshall Field and company. Chicago. The contest was nation-wide, with 254 colleges and universities participating. According to a letter received by Miss Rosemary Ketamch, head of the department of design, thousands of designs were submitted. Those students from the University who received honor mention are Harriett Daniel, fa'35; June Ritchie, fa'35, and Carolyn Glass, who is not in school this semester.
