American Colleges New Melting Pot, Says Regent Head
LAWRENCE KANSAS. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1932
From Universities Com Wisdom and Ability to Meet Problems of Tomorrow
ATHLETES ARE LAUDED
Contrast between the "Melting Pot" that was the American ideal set up by President Roosevelt, and the "melting pot" that has been used by universities—was the theme used by Charles M. Harger, of Abilene, chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents in his address this morning at the 6th annual symposium on cooperation of the University of Kansas.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley presided t the convention, and introduced Professor E. H. S. Bailley and Professor M. W. Sterling, who have been attending opening conventions at the University for 50 years. He introduced also Fred M. Harris of Ottawa, member of the Board of Directors by Mr Harger, the Chancellor talked briefly on Kansas' part in the Olympic games.
Old 'Melting Pot' Fails
"In Roosevelt's day," said Mr. Harper "America was pictured as the 'melting pot,' where the weary and heavy laden of the world would be amalgamated to form a right-thinking, powerful civilization.
“In the first decade of the century each year a million or more eager searchers for earthly gain poured in flood of immigration through the gates of this continent. Through war days the flood ebbed, but it revived as the people of stricken nations sought the land of wealth and treasure beyond all their dreams.
"Then America woke up. It found that these newcomers were not accepting our civilization but by the hundreds of thousands were retaining their own civilization, their own newspapers their own language, their own preface to literature, their unncoupling the government of the country that had given them a haven.
"Impugnate with community, with radicalism, many abused the hand that had fed them. Tens of thousands have been taken to the borders and sent back to the land where they came—to the betrayment of America. More of their ought to go. Last year the number departing thus, or voluntarily, went to America is back on her own feet. That melting pet failed.
College the New Melting Pot
But there is another melting pot.
In the colleges of this country are today approximately a million students—about 10% of them women. They are young men and women seeking to fit themselves for a finer service to their dommwealth and their nation. A quarter of a million of them were graduated last June, and almost all of them will be graduated next June.
"Instead of pouring into our civilization the flood from Europe, much of which vitiated our civic structure, we are sending annually to our towns and young people who within campus will have learned important lessons of life.
"These young people have a new comprehension of the meaning of the term 'higher education'—a means of grace rather than a means to an easy chair. Thus, there should come from our universities adequate strength, and we must meet the problems of tomorrow. That is today's melting pot.
Must Demonstrate Worth
Must Demonstrate Worth
Mr.anger declared that college students must take those who hold that college education should be for those able to pay for it, and those who hold that the state should provide such education to all, regardless of
"The Kansas idea is that the student who receives the benefit should pay part of the cost, thus relieving the taxpayer and enabling the institution to expand its services," said Mr. Harger. "The upholding of this opportunity offered, and it has been made possible by college itself—its students and faculty—where they impress the public with their sincerity and their devotion to better citizenship.
"Never has there rested on students a greater responsibility for the future of the state-supported college; never a time when it was so essential that they give reason for the trust placed in them and the sacrifices made in their behalu."

Registration Gain Over Ten Per Cent for Two Schools
two Branches Hold Ever as Rest Show Small Drop From Last Year's Total
WHOLE NEAR NORMAL
Two schools of the University showed increases in registration of 16 per cent or more; the others showed small losses, apparently in the freshmen category, and not nounced today by Chancellor E. H. Lindley. Total registration figures will not be available until after a report is received from the University's School of Science.
At the close of regular registration Wednesday evening, Registrar George O. Foster reported to the Chancellor that the graduate school registration was 10 per cent greater than it was last year, when also an increase was shown in the School of Education this year shows a gain of slightly more than 10 per cent.
Enrollment in the School of Law is the same as a year ago, and the School of Business is but four students short of its list of 1931.
If past records are of any avail, there are between three and four hundred students who have not yet enrolled in the schools of the University. Tomorrow, the regular enrollment machinery in Robinson gymnastism will again be functioning to take care of all late comers.
JUNIOR COLLEGES GAIN
University Registration Losses Explained by U.P. Survey
Kansas City, Mo. Sept. 23. (UP) Depression has failed to cut materially the enrollment of Southwestern colleges and universities. Few have drops of more than 10 per cent compared with last year, and some report increases. Student bodies, however, have changed considerably in character as a result of adverse business conditions, a survey by the United Press reveals. Many parents to eastern schools, are saving money in travel and tuition by enrolling them in nearby state universities.
No. 6
State institutions in turn have lost thousands to junior college, particularly in the larger cities where pupils may live at home.
City junior college enrollment confirmed the trend. Rockhurst in Kansas City, has the largest enrollment in the nation and Dallas and Fort Worth, reported increases of 25 per cent in freshman and 20 per cent gain for the whole school. All universities report a greater percentage of students attempting to work while learning that jobs would be source, or more than 400 are seeking jobs at Missouri.
Students this year are using all the old methods of earning their way, and inventing new ones. A Texas farmer took five jersey cows to Weatherford, staked them behind the dormitory and began selling milk.

COLOMBIA NEAR CLASH
250 Stain, 1,000 Wounded in Gran Chaco Battle; Brazilian Uprising Closes Cape Port
War, undecalled but actual, is flaming through the southern hemisphere making a front of more than 1,000 miles. One undecalled war, one civil uprising, and growth trouble in a world of peace efforts of Pan-American diplomas.
More than 250 Paraguayan and Bolivian soldiers were reported killed in the two days battle around Fort Bocaquen in the disputed Gran Chaco frontier region over which the two countries are fighting. The wounded
are estimated at more than 1,000. Bolivia has started an attempt to build a new airport and has almost surrounded the 2,000 Bolivians in the fort. Undeclared hostilities there have been carried on with all modern weapons—airplane, tanks, and trench warfare.

The third spot of trouble was in the Northwest, where Colombia and Peru were squabbling over territory, with feeling in both countries highly inflamed. Columbia was reported to have sent troops to Lecrita, a small border town on the headwaters of the Amazon River in 10 days ago. Leticia was given to Colombia by a boundary treaty negotiated several years ago.

SEA VOYAGES IN SUMMER
WHET DESIRE FOR COLLEGE
The traditional lure of the sea was not strong enough to prevent James M. Callahan, c33, from returning to the University of Kansas this fall. After a summer of sailing between Boston and Nova Scotia, Callahan returned to take up his scholastic duties here.
Most of Europe, Northern Africa and the West Indies have been visited by the student seamen while on one of his regular summer cruises. Callahan's jobs in the merchant marine have ranged from ordinary seaman to naval.

Now that classes have started, the necessity of library work becomes apparent to many.
"How in the heck do you find who you want?" says the freshman wandering about the Watson library. "Can you check books out, and where are the reserve books?" asks the upper classman, unfamiliar with the annuus.
To those who were unable to participate in the tours conducted through the library Tuesday afternoon, the answer to any similar question is this: consult the Watson library bulletin board on the west side of the entrance. Directions as to rooms, books, publications, catalogues, and other information pertaining to the library may be found there.

Council Revises Rules Governing Freshman Caps
Non-Wearers as Well as Technical Violators to Feel Weight of Discipline
STORE PLAN DEFERRED
In an effort to outlaw haparac hazing, the Men's Student Council last night adopted a resolution setting forth rules for the wearing of freshman caps. This clarification of cap rules is being attempted because of the promiscuous hazing which has been effect in other years, Harold Denion, 23, president of the college, and Mr. Nathan were being padded for wearing caps instead of for the lack of regulation headgear. This year definite rules will be followed.
"The caps were adopted by the freshmen themselves." Denton reminded, as a mark of distinction and the wearing of them should be thought of as an honor rather than as a compulsory rule which the first year students must obey. It is rather a tradition that the cans be worn."
To Watch Burcheled Freshmen
A more determined effort this year will be made to run freshmen who will do the capa through the padded legs.
The resolution states that all men freshmen must observe the following rules of conduct until formally released by the council:
1. Freshmen will do regulon caps at freshman initiation and they are to be worn on the campus every day thereafter from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
the flag zones, which shall be at prominent places on the campus to be designated by the K club. The caps shall be replaced only after the freshman has passed through the zone. Also, the cap worn during the last remove caps when passing the zone.
Cans Due at All Rallies
2. The caps shall be worn at all rallies and meetings at which attendance of the freemen shall be required by the Council. The 6 p.m. deadline for wearing of caps does not apply in this case. Ribbons, 12 inches in length, shall be worn on the cap the day before and the day of a home football game.
4. The above resolutions shall be enforced only by the Men's Student Council, the Kukus, and Sachem. Promissible padding will not be permitted. K men may paddle only on the athletic field.
The Council also considered adoption of the new K. U. pep flag designed recently by Donald Elkins, c33. This matter was delayed because the flag has not yet been completed to the satisfaction of the designer.
A committee of the Council is working with the intramural office on a better plan for participation in this activity among unorganized men.
Book Store Laid Over
Deston explained two different types f book store plans, but consideration f the replies he has received from bout 50 student book stores was set or the next meeting of the Council ext Wednesday night.
Any student who has any grievance, suggestion or recommendation which he wishes brought to the attention of the Council may do so this year through the recommendations committee which will meet one just before the date of Council meeting. The committee made up of Fred Conner, C3, counsel man, Leonard Armstrong, m4, Paul Black, C54, whatever else it has received to the Council for consideration. It is thought that by this plan which is in fulfillment of a plank in the Pachaasame platform last year, student representation will
last year, student representa be more effectively achieved.
Positions Available for Women
Positions are open for University women who wish to work. Any woman interested in teaching can get in touch with Mrs. D. R. Bryant in the office of the dean of women, room 223 Administration building.
