UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
SPRING STYLES CALL FOR FRESHMAN CAPS
Few First Year Men Attempt to Evade Student Council Ruling
COMMITTEE TO ACT TODAY
Disciplinarian Will Debate Ques tion and Make Recommend- dations to Senate
Freshman caps came into style this morning and with them came the upperclassmen wearing paddles, much as the senior laws used to wear canes. The new regulations led to the order of the student council demanding the spring appearance of the postage stamp caps. The resolution before the University Senate asked for the abolishment of paddling as a mode of enjoyment, but this little affect on the upperclassmen this morning and the first year men were unwilling to take a chance. The caps will be in order until the end of the school year unless the action of the law is contrary to Student Council rules.
The fate of paddling will be debated at the meeting of the University Disciplinary committee this afternoon and this recommendation submitted to the Senate at the next meeting. Student sentiment, both of freshmen and upper classman, is overwhelmingly in favor of retaining the distinctive headgear, as was shown conclusively by the results of the vote held under the direction of the Daily Kansan Friday.
A great many of the men who voted in favor of retaining the freshman cap suggested other ways of enforcing the custom, without padding. Other schools, it has been pointed out, have successfully retained similar customs without resorting to force.
Regulations were outlined by about 250 of those who favored the retention of paddling. Restrictions on the size of paddles, were asked by several. Others were for abolishing the gauntlet; some asked only that there be someone with authority on the campus to see that the privilege is not abused.

An anemometer is an instrument for measuring the velocity of wind. In 1873 the University purchased an anemometer from Fraser Hall and Fraser Hall. For thirty- six years the faithful instrument has measured the velocity of the winds which inhabit Mt. Oread. A record is kept, and statistics compiled on the figures it registers.
The anemometer was kept busier during March, 1917, than it has been for sixteen years. The record shows that last month was the windiest month since 1901, the total wind mileage was 423 miles, mean a daily average of 442 miles, or 18.5 miles an hour. In March, 1901 the total wind mileage was 15,044.
Of course the students knew March was the windiest month, but it is pleasant to have their opinion confirmed by an instrument that knows
whereof it speaks. The professor knew that not in sixteen years had an elusive theme paper blown quite so far before submitting to capture. And yet it was a little surprising to me how much less attention those words that his opinions were upheld.
With March the windiest month in sixteen years and February the driest, it's always a good idea to have to do something very unusual to keep up the record smashing business.
