He is different boy from his stolid, unthinking classmates; he has ideas, he read much, he wants to do something. It is he who will later become a prophet, a scientist, an artist, a voice crying in the wilderness for a higher himity. It is he who will later address a smug public into something fire. He protests—is paddled harder, forced to blow his to his superior," forced to doff his cap to the flag, to do various things that other freshmen do. He is not understood—that would be to codie him—he is covered. At Kamaas let us suppose that, as a freshman, he is subordinated, padded broken into a regime of regulations which freshmen alone must obey. He comes to hate the University, the paddlers, the flag all authority. He is sensitive and emotionally disturbed. His actions are structurally, are warned by his hatred Call him a sissy if you will. Say, "I took it; let him act like a man." Say anything you like; but remember that men are different, must be treated differently; and that these differences are Early that paddling does not hurt; that it has soon over. But it hurts the spirit; it infringes on human rights; it causes, in times, eternal resentment. A paddling is an unsatisfactory discipline for all parties concerned; it incites no admission; there is no bravery to swing a paddle on a young man. It does not conduce toward leadership or democracy in the University. It is the vengeful expression of those who having been paddled, paddle. Its greatest hurt is really to the ones who do it, for it dulls their sensibilities and blinds them to the great ideals which true men must hold. BIGGER AND BETTER He recommends four things as remedies for hard times; quantity production and mass sales; higher quality and lower prices and costs; increasingly higher wages; and low-priced distribution to consumers. Right along with the various world-famous authors that we have mentioned in this column from time to time corner Henry Ford with a book offering cure for our financial depression. What a philosophy is revealed in these four point! "Quantity, increase more, more, more—force goods down the public's threat," says the prophet of the mass-production age. There is some truth in what he advoices, to be fair—a quick and volumetric turnover does bring material prosperity to a country. High quality and lower costs are both excellent ideas and will undoubtedly be applied more and more by big businesses; increasingly higher wages are fine; and low-priced distribution is eminently sensible. Ford has put all these theories into practice, and they are wanting. To balance high wages, he demands extreme efficiency from his men and stabilizes their creativity; he lay off multitudes at a time if he so chooses without regard for the safety of their families; he turns away employees when they reach a certain age, without security for their future. He uses quantity production—and we have the age of salesmanship and installation buying—most dangerous bases for any civilization. We have floods of advertisement to stuff a suggestible and gullible public, to evoke wants which never exert themselves, and which one born, outworn out of it. Ford has discovered ony the advantages of an enlightened self-interest. His ideas do work for his own welfare. But that is not enough. Only industrial democracy will guarantee work and security, and thus give the masses an opportunity to turn from being members of an acquisitive society to intelligent, creative, scientific noble and unprejudiced "sons of God." BLESS 'EM! "Auld Nature swears, the lovely dears Her noblest work she classes. O: **der** 'prentise hand she tried on man 'an' then she made the lace, *O*.' Those men who complain that they have no corner left to themselves, that the fair sex is powdering its nose even up to the door of the innermost sanctum, have forgotten their favorite 'CARDS BOW AGAIN Three St. Louis Hurlers are Nicked For Total of Seven Hits" What woman knows what this means or cares? "The Athletics collected all seven of their hits off Rhem..." "how silly!" the feminine newspaper reader exclaims. "Aren't men queer to make such a to-go over that funny old-fashioned game?" Football is different—that has speed and action. Boxing—I was so thrilled when Stribling gave the other man a black eye . . . Please don't tell anyone else that we went." But baseball-"My dear, I can't see anything to it. What do you mean by 'sacrifices and 'errors'?" And I would love them with the bat and then run around that little square as fast as they can. It's awfully slow . . ." But baseball-like collar buttons- keeps on selling itself although scorned by the female trade. HOME SWEET HOME The old home town furniture furnishes more enjoyment for Mr. and Miss Average College Student than the editor of that weekly would ever imagine his paper could get. When he sends the Pumpkin Center Weekly to the University of Kanaa, he perhaps doesn't know that it will be placed in little cubby holes on the west side of the periodical room in Waton library but Johnny and Mary who hall from said Center are well aware of this far and are, at least, weekly visitors at Waton. In the few minutes they spend poring over this precious hit of printer matter, they assimilate more knowledge than they could ever hope to attain in a two or three hours' grind over past events in any history text. They know almost everyone in Pumpkin Center, and the doings of some old acquaintance will frequently draw a snicker from Johnny and a suppressed laugh from Mary. There aren't very many pages to look at, but don't you worry, the eyes of the reader won't miss a single article. With obvious reluctance the treasure is put back in its place in safe keeping for the next home town emigrant to enjoy. Johnny and Mary leave the library with the most satisfied feeling The folks at home are all faring well and they are learning about "collить from dear old Alma, so why worry God's in his heaven and all's right with the world after all. Or so I seems. A clearing house for complaints may become the latest innovation in campus organizations. Almost every student who has at any time given himself to serious reflection on campus affairs has a pet gripe. It may be the student coincl, the Jayhawker, student politics, or the Kanan which displeases him, and his thoughts certainly should not be repressed. WHO WOULD LISTEN? That every mind may be clear of pet grief, it has been suggested that the forensic department sponsor an organization which will give persons an opportunity to relieve their pent up emotions and express their complete feelings. The organization might well serve also as an open forum for discussion of campus subjects. At least it is true that by the time a person becomes a senior he has established many notions about how PEN AND SCROLL: OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXVIII Sunday, Oct. 5, 1928 No. 19 Initiation for the members who were pledged last spring will be held at the meeting of Pen and Scroll Tuesday, Oct. 7, at a p.m. in the room of the meeting building. There will be a meeting of all members of Jay James Monday, Oct. 6 at 9:30 p.m. in the central Administration Building. Plans will be made for this meeting on Thursday.

Perhaps some day a truly original and constructive suggestion will be born; and we should be prepared to welcome it in the proper flash. sponsible. That is not a very idealistic theory, however. Far better would it be to say that this year's crop of stucco was made in monte tonne to those of past years.

JAMES PENNINGTON AWAY USELEY If all the aidmen at K U were six feet two inches tall and weighed 200 pounds and were star fuller, wouldn't be enough loyal alums to put them all through school and things really would get into a mess. No, loyal alums couldn't be expected to dig down for everyone. THE HIGHEST PEAR DELTA PHI DELTA: For there is no higher pinnacle to which any college woman can strive than Mortor Board. It means recognition of scholarship, leadership, and character and is ostensibly awarded for worth and service to the University. It is in many ways the greatest honor any woman can receive from the University, and its pin is a symbol of that honor. WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING? But the graduates are safe on this Perhaps the epidemic of jake leg has dampened the enthusiasm of those that like it hard and like it straight. Perhaps the quality of the stuff is getting better, not even iron-clad stenches can keep you down. There may be lots of reasons. But anyhow, the fact remains that M. Oread has been in a pretty sober state thus far. WHITHER ARE WE DRUFFING? The drinking of home brew, it is reported, and on fairly good authority, has been relegated to the memories of summer pleasures. Beer (we are told) somehow loses its flavor with the approach of autumn. It has also been reported, and on fairly good authority, that no substitute is being supplied in any very produce quantities. The drought that hit the country the past summer seems to have dried up the liquor wells along with the water. Perhaps as much liquor is being made as there ever was, but less of it, apparently, is flowing on M. Ordre than in several years. As to why, one guess is as good as another.

But we can swing a tennis racket or a golf club without breaking our backs from the exertion! How many of us take advantage of these ways of adding to our vim, visor, and vitality? Not enough of us. Keuffel & Esser The University has fixed us up a golf course, which, while nothing that would attract any big tournaments here, has the regulation holes in the ground every so often.

You'll be amazed at how much better you feel after a daily session of tennis for about six weeks. And after you leave college, you can still play both these games. SIGN REMOVERS The curious impulse which argues some students to carry off signs which they find on carapau boards is extremely costly for the organizations who stand the expense of printing them. Likewise it is rather inconvenient for groups which are trying to sponsor an activity to find that their publicity has disappeared into some student's room. round of golf every morning will do you more good than Grape-Nuts three times a day. The student council is attempting to keep posters restricted to the various billboards about the campus; for that reason there are only a few places available for the purpose of advertising campus projects. When people find it convenient to confiscate these few posters, the promoters of the various projects naturally are very much displeased. In a recent magazine article the campuses of U. C. L. A. Wisconsin and Kansas were said to be the three most beautiful the writer had ever seen. If the persons who make a habit of taking these signs would make inquiry, it is possible that the various organizations would be glad to give them one of the posters if they simply must decorate their rooms, but the habit of deliberately taking signs which advertise future events is a bad reflection upon a person's intelligence and honesty.

Two Doors North of The Variety Evidently he was looking the other way when he went by the Commons building. Materials and Slide Rules There is really no particular reason for the existence of this shed except that it is a convenient meeting place for the Jayhawker staff and orchestra members. The auditorium can be used for orchestra rehearsals as well as band practices. And surely the Union Building offers more and more up-to-date office space for the Jayhawker staff and Demonstrate Program. Two Book Stores Why not tear down this eyecon and fill its place with a grass plot or flower bed, but further enhancing the beauty of our campus? Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansai In the editorial "Free Dances," on a Wednesday's edition you state in conclusion, "We heartily applaud the increasingly better uses to which the Union Building is being put, and by weaving them together, we invite motions—as surely they will." You are overly correct in the assertion of the attendance of "vast mob," but the vast mob which attaches to an institution, the dance composed of stages with the usual "almost-tempted-but-not-quite" l o k on their faces. The atmosphere of the university is but that of an all-university party. I am not a university party it was a "flop." As a stag party, it was the most successful affair which had occurred on the hill. It was a party of students and I join your beauty applause to the increasingly better uses to which the Union Building is being put, but I do not know why it was not being applied similar affairs in the future, because it was directly the opposite from an increasingly better use of the theatre for acting, for reading use, an outrage, a monstrosity. No one who knew anything to do with the planning of this dance is to blame for this sort of a thing happening; only the students should be responsible using the "vast mob." The reason for the "vast mob" is as I see it, that boys are sly about asking girls to attend an affair composed of stages — "oats the boy nothing." Th I have a simple plan, the essence of which was suggested last year to a similar circumstance as but this much less in volume, whereby this barrier has been removed down. With your pardon I present it. Charge each and every stag, whether or not he holds a Memorial Union membership instead of referring to these affairs as "free dances," refer to them as "Union dances," "Wednesday dances," as Misa Snyder did in the Official University Ballroom, 60, 1300, or as "mid-week variates." Editor Daily Kansas: The dates for the reservation of student concert tickets have just been announced by the School of Fine Arts. They are too late or are they still in order? It must be discouraging to a great artist to give his performance before PERMANENTS—$3.50 Shampoo. Finger Wave, Marcel 50c. a large section of empty seats. Yet that is what happens every year during the University concert series. You must not get the impression that the audience is small, it is not. It is unusually large, and there are other interests besides music. Here is the situation. The front part of the downstairs floor is reserved for purchases of the six-dollar season balcony for owners of the five-dollar season. Students who buy the enterprise ticket and pay one dollar more are allowed to sit on the lower first balcony; those who own enterprise tickets but who cannot afford the extra dollar are required to remain under the second balcony. The number of students, faculty members, and townpeople who can afford to pay six dollars for the private college downstairs is not large. Therefore a spacer of 20 rows or more is left untouched. The number of admirers administro the first four or five rows only, leaving about the same number more to provide another distance. Let's have a bigger and better concert season this year! Couldn't some change be made in the seating arrangement this year so that the audience could be in two compact groups, one in the balcony and one downstairs? Perhaps, if the committee decides to move the seats to the rows directly behind the six-dollar group, those members of the audience who are desirous of sitting a little closer to the front could be all moved up a few rows during intermission.
