A SOCIAL PROBLEM
Messrs. Hoover and Roosevelt have upset a precedent. How can they so matter-of-factly decide to meet in Washington without taking consideration of the multitude of arrangements that must be made such an event?
With the characteristic simplicity of great minds, neither of the men realized the mess into which they were plunging Washington society. Why if they had been let alone, they might have got together in a room, had their meeting, and let it go at that. Don't they have any realization of the social propriety of things?
Don't they know that there is a correct procedure for such events' The President must have a chain one fourth of an inch higher than that of the President-elect. The Cabinet members present must have footsteps and sit facing East. The secretaries must abase themselves in a kneeling position behind the door to take notes. And the college professor adviser; what to do with him?
Oh, dear. If they had to go on with this thing, why couldn't they at least have consulted a woman to arrange matters for them. Page Email Post.
HE SAID IT
One of the students, discussing a student problem at the annual problems speaking contest the other night, said, "The University contains the largest group of snobs I know of." This at first sight seems to be quite a radical statement, but in reality it has considerable truth in it. The fact is, as he stated, that this University is a rich man's school. Students coming here receive an impression that everybody has plenty of money to spend, even if everybody is talking about a depression; they get it from the general atmosphere. The majority of students appear to be well dressed. The high-hat atmosphere takes hold of them, and without realizing it they became touched with a little conceit that often develops into bad cases.
There is no reason why any such condition should exist on the campus. Why one student should feel superior to another is beyond the logical thinker, or why one student should pass another without even as much as a, "Good-morning," is beyond explanation.
Snobbery is a subjective problem, and it is only through the student's own initiative that it can be remedied.
SHOULD PLEDGES BE MADE SUBSERVIENT?
The prevailing opinion among fraternity men seems to be that pledges should be seen and not heard. Freshmen must be taught not to be "cocky," the Greek letter organizations say, and consequently they instruct their first-year-men to keep their mouths shut and do what they are told to do unless they want to receive a painful punishment.
Individuals pledged to fraternity react differently to this treatment. Some, who have an abundance of self confidence, are able to "laugh off" their punishment. Other pledges, however, who lack
self confidence, are made more timid. These boys may be seen in any fraternity, meekly moving about the house, sedlum daring to speak or voice an opinion, ever watching lest they make a mistake for which they might be reprimanded or beaten.
Any system of reform which helps develop a weakness in an individual rather than eradicate it is surely a false system. By taking away from an individual his self confidence and his right to express himself, pledgephives deprives some men of the very essence of their personalities.
THE PASSING OF THE PALACE
The Palace theater, of New York City, the last stronghold of variety, has fallen before the ever-en-screaching motion picture. Since 1913, when the theater was built by B.F. Keith, the Palace has been the goal of all members of the vaudeville profession.
The Palace was the greatest of a chain of theaters that stretched from coast to coast. The last strictly variety bill has been played. The owners of the theater say that they are considering running a movie vaudeville show after the run of the present picture, but the movie "four a day" is not like the old days of the Palace.
What the Metropolitan was to the opera star, the Palace was to the members of the profession Dancers, acrobats, comedians singers, song and dance teams, magicians, sister acts, and harmony teams, all of them had one ambition, to play the Palace and pull down the house. The Capital may play vaudeville in conjunction with motion pictures, but it will never be like the old days. There will be the smell of great paint, the actors waiting in the wings for their entrance, and the curtain calls, but it will never again be a real vaudeville house.
Latest statistics show there were 23,000 people killed in automobile accidents in the first 10 months of this year. "At this rate it has been estimated there will have been 29,000 deaths resulting from car wrecks by January 1. This total is so stupendous that it nearly balances with the casualties of the entire World War.
AT LAST, A BENEFIT
Needless to say, a great many of these deaths were the direct result of careless driving, and it is just as needless to say that by some means this figure should be substantially reduced. But there is an angle of these facts which is not so depressing. This total is less than last year.
The charge that K. U. is the most well-managed, most complete, and best controlled penitentiary in the West evoked a round of applause at the Campus Problems contest Tuesday evening, an ovation that indicated that the desired status of affairs would be one of complete liberty, or at least as much as that enjoyed by the ordinary citizen.
The factors causing this decrease are probably many, and it would be difficult even to enumerate them. One reason which seems outstanding, however, is that inasmuch as there is a so-called depression fewer people are driving automobiles and those who do drive them do not do so quite so frequently.
At last, an advantage in hard times has been found.
There is, however, a fundamental difference between the citizen and the student body that may be overlooked in the cry for freedom. Although we pay our fees to attend this institution, this source of revenue is small in comparison with the total expenses of the University. For fifty dollars in fees, more or less, we have not bought a property share in the University, such as we might do by investing a similar amount in a hot dog stand.

The medical aptitude test, devised by the Association of American Medical Colleges as one requirement for admission into medical school, will be given on Dec. 9, 1932, at 2 p.m. in room 101,雪场 Hall. Since this is the only time it will be given this year, all students who plan to enter medical school at Kansas University or elsewhere by the fall of 1933 should take it. A fee of $1 is to be collected from each student at the time the test is given.
PRE-MEDICAL STUDENTS;
they please, any more than they donate the capitol building to the governor and legislature. It is theirs only for a year or two, to be passed on to others after the present occupants have made use of it. The University administration must have a greater interest than merely satisfying the present campus group. The University owes its existence to the citizens of the state and must be responsible to them through the operation of some sort of control.
Samuel Insul is to decide whether he will return to the United States himself or whether he will be brought back.
INSULL WILL DECIDE
"Which will you have, Johnnie, chicken or duck?"
Now in that family, the father was quite fond of ducks. So one day when ducks were scarce, the mother cooked one duck and prepared chicken for the rest of the family. At meal time, she asked one of her hays:
A mother was rearing her children by moral sussion. She never commanded them to do anything. They had free leeway of judgment.
Which is reminiscent of a story which appeared in the Youth's Companion several years ago:
"Duck," replied Johnnie eagerly.
Campus Opinion
"No Johnnie," corrected his mother, "Take your choice, but don't say duck."
But at that, maybe Mr. Insu would prefer to have someone else pay his back to this country and would save stock holders' money.
Editor Daily Kansan:
I have not noticed that the 1832-33 baseball schedule opens with a three-game series with Sunford University here at Lawrence on the 30th and 31st December and on Jan. 2. The idea of those games occurs while practically all K. U. students, except those living in Lawrence, will not be at that time. Everyone that I have talked with about it expresses his disappointment at the loss of such particular dates ever were selected. I realize that it was probably impossible for our athletic department to schedule these games at any other time, but may I make a suggestion which I have heard echoed on all side, which is in reference to changing the site of the two games in December. Why can I am attempt be made to move the games from Kansas City, in Kansas City, where K.U. played Pitt last year in a 3-game series? Surely those two games if played in Kansas City, where there are hundreds of K.U. students and alumni, would draw far better crowds than they can possibly draw here, while all the students on their vacations. At the same time, the students played here as scheduled, thereby giving Lawrence fans their deserved opportunity to see the Team foundation action. I am making this as a suggestion that I have heard others make; I am simply putting this suggestion into print and I hope that it may attract the attention of the athletic department. It just seems to me that if the games are played here as scheduled, the series will be a fopen, so far as attendance is concerned, at the first two games. Of course, it may be impossible to move the games to Convention hall. But if you can be done, I strongly suggest that it be followed by staff stars of the athletic department and the university. T.M.B.

Editor Dailv Kansan:
Since the recognized purpose of the organization dances is to form friendships in small groups, these groupings be changed each week, the larger dances would deflect the goal towards those the houses are wanting. Through this plan students would meet and become acquainted with a majority of the students on the Hill. The mid-week variates supplement this but they are essentially too large to permit many acquaintances and friendships. Wouldn't the proposed tea dances be similar in character and reutices to the Wednesday night dance? D -S
I read in Friday's issue of the Daily Kansan about the proposal of tea dances which (among other things) would replace the hour dances given in class with morning or afternoon propositions of this plan stopped to realize the small percentage of students who would be able to attend the dances when they are held in the afternoon? Strange as it may seem, there are a number of men and women attending these dances. How can we do to do in the afternoon, with no time to spend dancing. Some of the students who are earning their living work the entire afternoon. Most of them would not have the courage (and I do not want to lose my employees for an hour on to attend the dance). What will students who are engaged in intramurals do? But, perhaps, athletes aren't supposed to attend these tea dances. Most of the intramural sports are played in the afternoon and only tea dances or athletics will suffer.
The Campus Pest
--welcome next Monday
Early morning sleep-walkers whose foot subconductively directed them to their 8:30 classes have become accustomed to the swaking whistle from the lawn as they pusin in front of Green Hall. But their feet, the well proved a new sensation.
Students were hurrying along to their classes. First the laws began to count; they have learned that much. When they reached the number seven, they paused. Then all together they said, "Hello girls!"
The deed done, they grinned from ear to ear. It was a group picture no photographer would take. But wait! The leader raised his voice to begin; the grin unwound itself and the faces of the embryo judges became sober, almost intelligent. They were joining again in the numerical chant.
Co-eds who once associated whistling with little birds have come to realize, when passing the steps of Green hall, that in reality it is a big "bird".
The maestro, or kingfish, of the laws, with a cone for a baten, he his bird-thrusted throng in a sweet serenade faintly remindful of the Bronx.
And the co-oabs are not unmindful of "Parakeet Pete" and his whistling can-ies. One little lady with a snappy walk suggests that if the Traditions Committee hands in its annual report to the council without comment on the bootleg whitening of these birds something drastic may happen.
Meanwhile let's look at "Parakee, Pete," bulging with his knowledge of torts and contracts, and dressed in the sophisticated manner of a man about the campus. A man about to go out into the sun makes a foolish weak and the downdropped, and to expound the laws of our forefathers before learned judges, he whistles at whatever the winds blow by. Yes air, he stands behind. Peter th
Yes sir, there he stands. Peter the Parakeeter, proud of his whistle.

Designer of Our Flag May Not Be Betsy Ross
Francis Hopkinson Is Giver Credit by Tyler in Radio Speech
The story that Betsy Ross designed the first American flag at the request of George Washington is be just another historical myth, E. D. Tylery, extension instructor at the University of Kansas, said in the first of a series of talks on "Historical Myths" over station KFKU.
"Newly discovered facts," Mr. Tyler stated, "tend to prove conclusively and historically that the American flag was manufactured by Lincoln, American patriot and poet."
The story of Betty Ross and the flag as given by Rear Admiral George Henry Phelbein in his "Origin and History of the American Flag," according to Mr. Tyler, states that Mr. William Cuny appeared before the Historical society of Pennsylvania in 1870 and read a paper in which he claimed that Betty Ross was the maker and partial designer of the American flag.
This, of course, continued Mr. Tyler, is the tradition story. Admiral Preble does not agree with Mr. Canby and contends that it will probably never be known who designed the union of stars.
Mr. Tyler went on to say that the facts of the story are that Betty Ross did design a flag for George Washing- ington and she designed the star-stamped hanger.
Unpublished correspondence between Francis Hopkinson and the Continental Congress dated May 25, 1870, on the other hand, enumerated certain services to Congress, among which was a speech by President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States. The flag was described in another statement as the great naval flag of the United States.
Mr. Hopkinson later made the assertion in writing that he designed the national emblem and the assertion was left unchallenged at the time.
HEAD OF RADIO COMMITTEE CONFERS HERE WITH INGHAM
Levering Tyson, director of the National Advisory Committee on Radio Education, spent Thursday afternoon and Friday morning with H. I. G. Ingham, a professor in the Department of University. Mr. Tyson was enroute from Denver, where he had been attending a conference of radio men, to his home in New York City, and stopped to confer with Mr. Ingham educational broadcasts from KFKU.
During the past few years Mr. Tsyn has sponsored a series of educational talks presented on chain broadcasts including a group on introductory economics. Recent economic history has been studied. These programs have featured Nicholas Murry Butler, president of Columbia University, and many other university and college presidents, and other high off-season programs are usually presented on Tuesday nights and has for half on hour.
