Entered as second-class matter September 17, 1931, at the office at Lawrence, Kannan THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1932 FRESHMAN HAZING Hazing of unwary and careless freshmen was begun leniently today on the campus. So many of the poor fresh failed to don the red and blue streamers, which are necessary if the freshman under question is to preserve his dignity, that the paddle swallow authorities contented themselves with merely warning the delinquent freshmen. Whether this magnanimous attitude was due to a sudden and unusual feeling of humane and brotherly sympathy for the freshman, or to discretion in the use of ruddy paddling muscles, it is hard to say. The fact remains that the powers that be, namely the "K" men, Sachems, Men's Student Council, and the Ku Kus deserve credit for a broadminded and reasonable attitude. CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS "Friendship is the only thing in the world concerning the usefulness of which all mankind are agreed," said Cicerole. There is nothing more becoming a wise man than to make a good choice of his friends. This especially is applicable to college students. The most powerful and lasting friendships are usually those made in the early seasons of life, when one is most susceptible to warm and affectionate impressions. The value of a judicious and sympathetic friend is so great as not to be estimated, while on the other hand, even a prudent enemy is preferable to a friend without discretion. Discriminate between your college acquaintances and choose those whose friendships you wish to be lasting throughout life. Choose your friends wisely, in regard to their uprightness, their sincerity, and their unselfish motives. The student whose parents are under the constant necessity of prying him loose from undesirable friends and acquaintances will show the same lack of good judgment in other problems that will confront him later in life. "CALL BOY" SERVICE The question of what are the requirements of a successful business man arisen among a group of college students. Various answers were given, all embodying the same idea that every person, who wishes to accomplish anything must have perseverance, initiative, and punctuality. As the group disbanded, all but two members requested that they be called for breakfast at the proper hour. That is the request which at least one half of the University students leave as they retire each night. It will be exceedingly hard for these students to-be the "early bird" when they enter the business world. A day "well beunn is half done," and to those people who fail to arise in time for breakfast, without the services of a "call boy" are not strengthening their character, during the formulative years of their lives. It takes will power to get out of a warm bed into a cold, semi-dark room, but it develops a constructive and beneficial habit that in the long run, pays dividends. WHAT OF ALLOWANCES? Parents have apparently failed to realize the financial responsibility that they are plaining in the hands of their offspring when they send them to college. When funds fail to stretch as far as the originally worked out schedule would indicate that they should and when young son writes home tactfully for a few more cents to run him the rest of the month, Father sighs and says, "What does he do with the money?" The paternal mind seems obviously to have overlooked the fact that experience is the greatest teacher of us all, or in other words, that one learns to do by doing. Of course, at home there is always a weekly or monthly allowance, but the whole thing is more theoretical than practical, since a little personal persuasion will not an extra dollar or two from Dad without any difficulty at all. But when one is away at college the possibility of that personal contact with the family exhbecquer is entirely eliminated, and any request for further aid is considered on unfriendly act. If parents only started a few years sooner to teach lessons in finance, there would be no call for distress after the oldest son has been away at college for a month or so. Students who have had experience in managing their own needs on a non-elastic allowance seldom have any difficulty in doing the same thing away from home. It's the student who has always had the privilege of checking on the family bank roll who has trouble handling a budgeted account. TAXI PLEASE "Taxi please," shouted the freshman, and the senior escort groaned inwardly. The freshman with all of her cockiness was trying to hide her inexperience and to impress her companion. The senior, with three years of college life behind him, felt that the girl wasn't worth dating, if she couldn't walk home from the theater. Taxis are a convenience; for formals and on rainy nights a necessity, but for many students this form of convenience is prohibitive. The women will have to accept the situation and smile sweetly. It isn't considered proper for a woman with a male companion to call a taxi, and as the senior said later, "Only a freshman would have done it." Freshmen are becoming more late every year. One pledge even sked his room mate to bring him pitcher of ice-water. ON TAKING BOOKS OUT OF THE LIBRARY The student who takes a book out of the reserve room and keeps it all day, to use at his own convenience, is violating the library regulations as much as the student who keeps a book overnight. Not only does he break a law, but inconveniences many students, as well. Many times there is only one copy of a book, from which a class of fifteen or twenty have to get an assignment. If the book is left in the library, as it should be, the entire class is given a chance to do the assigned work. But there are always a few in-considerate ones who think only of themselves. This type of student will check the book out in early morning so that he can use it when it suits his convenience, whether that time is in the afternoon or evening. As a result, not over one-third of the class gets an opportunity even to see this book, and the other two-thirds go to class unprepared. One wonders if these students are really ready for the University, and what place they will find in life, if they have such a conception of fairness.

Editor Daily Kansan; In a column under the head of "Campus Opinion," I suppose one should express a belief or opinion. But it is no my intention to do so. It is merely my intention to raise a question in the field, and I know students that may or may not be a wildlife expert. I wonder if, when coming into the University, the freshman is not made to feel inferior more than he other would, if he were not required to wear a uniform, or to dress in uniform, the freshman cap? Is it not possible that he is thrown into a mental state from which he never fully recovers? More especially is this applicable to the naturally tidy sort. The student who is a self-confidence, would recover anyway. Or is the "wearing o' the cap" beneficial? As the student pursues his everyday life through the University and gains more and more self-confidence, which I think, is the natural result of his experience. A average individual, is his自保-assurance increased as a result of his previous lack of self-assurance—I.M.L.

Coleman warned the jury that his ruling denying the dismissal of the case as asked by the defense did not intimate anything as to actual guilt or innocence of the defendant. Our Contemporaries TAKING AN ENTERTAINMENT CUP FROM KANSAS New York, Sept. 29 — (UP) –Checks issued to officers of the Loyal Order of Moose were traced today at the trial of James J. Davis and being to repay loans Scanning the news from "other HILS" throughout the country reveals a new innovation in the cost of cultural events to the student body of Kansas University. In this middle-west institution we find that students are given the opportunity of purchasing what is known as a "student activity ticket" for It seems to us that the University of Kansas has, through this system, enabled the majority of students to parakeet in events of a social and cultural nature. The campus we have a displaysed system. Four dollars for concerts, $3 for the Basecom plays, $1.25 for dances, another half a dozen additional sums for other events—all in all, a system which prevents the majority from attending. They can easily profit from a simple axiom in economics which foresees an increase in the attendance if the unit moves to the point of maximum efficiency. What we need here on our campus is the co-operation of all those who work in the cultural and social activities. They must make systems where the cost to the students will be cut drastically without affecting the quality of the activi- MOOSE CHECKS IDENTIFIED AS REPAYMENT OF LOANS The price of dances, concerts, and other events can be reduced.

"Ever do any discussion throwing?" inquired the best. "We tried a pole vaulter, a broad jumper and a star gymnast." The department, hot they didn't make good. Wonder if that firm has tried a taxi-player phone. Surely business will not pass by the heroes of the campus and the stadium and give the prizes of life to the classroom "drudgles."-Leaven- College of Emporia which for two or three years has had the poorest football teams in a couple of decades, has an enrollment increase of 10 to 15 per cent. But Ottawa University, which offers football team last year in more than a quarter of its total enrollment, increases of 26 per cent in enrollment. If that proves anything—Ottawa Herald. Maybe times haven't changed much, but we suspect it is now possible for a boy to be considered a pretty successful collegian and still not able to shoot a good game of pool—Ottawa Herald. Incidentally, a local KU. parent says that in spite of the general reduction in the cost of things collegiate, he notices that his son's expense account for the first week of school shows that tuition has gone up this year. But beware, his financial expenses expense accounts, he says that he knows that his son apparently just bought a few more bars of soap—Garden City Daily Telegram.
