Entered as secondclass matter September 13, 1918, at the office at lawsuits, Kansas TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1932 REQUIRED GYM PASSES An experiment is being tried this year by the College. Physical Education, better known as "gym," is not required. Instead a larger intramural program is being planned. Of course one still can take gym if he wants the work. The abolition of required gym for this year is a distinct victory for the undergraduates. It has been fought, largely through cutting of the classes required, enrolling in R.O.T.C., or band, going out for varsity athletics and then not reporting, and various other methods. True these were not very effective ways of fighting, but they showed the contempt which students held for the required gym courses. Maybe the switch to the optional plan will be a boom to the classes. However, it is true that intramural sports have proved a great success in popularity with the students. The needed amount of exercise for good class room work can be obtained along with the spirit of competition which is largely responsible for the success of intramural athletics. College people like to do what they want to do, not what they are told to do. The intramural program at the University is being more favorably received each year and the required "gym" courses were distinctly hated. So it is with the utmost pleasure that the University students on Mount Oread receive the news of optional physical education. Let's have a larger and better intrumural athletic program. THE K-BOOK Once again the little red K-Book has appeared on the campus and once again its editors are to be congratulated. This book which is published under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. is one of the most useful services given to the freshman. Its popularity may be seen through the increased number of copies each year, so that the upperclassmen may be supplied. The editors have done their job well and the services of the book will be used throughout the year. NEOPHYTES Well neophytes how do you feel this morning? Every newspaper in yesterday morning's mail, within the radius of the news value of the University pledges, carries this word in their stories. It has become the stock word for announcing the simple fact that you have pledged a fraternity or a sorority. It makes no difference which you pledge, you're still a neophyte! Of course you expected to be changed by University life, but did you really expect to jump from an average American boy to a neophyte by simply saying the words "I do?". Well, you have. Of course, if you had been before the alter when you said those famous two words, you could expect to be called something like a neophyte. But that is the way of life, the unexpected adds the spice to an otherwise normal procedure of events. Even the Kansas City Times in the opening paragraph, which described effectively how the citizens of Lawrence were kept awake at ten o'clock by the "yelling in" and how it even disturbed the owls in the woods across the Kaw, some two miles distant, called you neophytes.

Providence So here's to you neophytes, Blessings upon you. Even a man with a name like Layle Absoulm VanDeever should smile. Neophytes have been before you and neophytes will come after you are gone. So what is in a name anyway? NO SUMMER SICKNESS NO SUMMER SICKNESS Attention has been brought to the Kansas to the effect that the Student Hospital was not open for the summer school session. One professor reports that in one of his classes alone, eight students were in need of the services of a doctor but there was no Univer sity physician available. The reason given was that no enough of the students would consent to pay the fees. Why not have a hospital fee for summer school the same as for the fall and spring semesters? It certainly is worth the small cost. Sickness doesn't necessarily start and stop with the opening and closing of the regular term. Maybe this isn't the time to register a complaint. Summer school affects but a small percentage of those attending the regular session and of course one isn't supposed to be ill during the summer. But it does seem unfortunate to have a well equipped hospital remain closed during the summer school term. COE'S Drug No. I., 1347 Mass.
