The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of her students, but then merely print the news by staging an event for them to hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of University.

THE PADDLING "SITUATION"
D. L. Patterson, chairman of the University Senate disciplinary committee has asked for written expressions of student and faculty sentiment regarding the paddling of first year men who refuse to wear freshmen caps. The disciplinary committee will meet Monday. Now is the time for those who believe in the traditional custom of developing newcomers on Mount Oread, to declare themselves.
Should the disciplinary committee recommend that paddling be outlawed, and is able to show that student sentiment in favor of the custom was slight, there can be no valid objection to the decision.
AVAUNT COMMERCIALISM
A communication in the Kansan today appeals to seniors and faculty members to wear caps and gowns during commencement week. The concrete suggestion is made that seniors who do not conform to the custom, be denied the privilege of appearing on the platform at commencement exercises.
Every year as commencement week
proaches the plea is made.
The average senior has no aversion for a cap and gown. He has learned, I everer, to hate the graft that is coincident with so many committee jobs, especially in the senior year.
The committee this year can go a long way towards having an impressive ceremony at the time of graduation by furnishing the caps and gowns at near the original rental instead of boosting the price from twenty to fifty cent.
Or wouldn't it be a good idea in the future to handle caps and gowns for commencement through the registrar's office, where other students accounts are handled?
BÉ AN EXPLORER
The weather is ideal for hikes. It is either too cold nor too warm, and the coming on of spring supplies an added push to outdoor exercise. The country ground Lawrence furnishes innumerable places of interest to the hiker.
Many students leave the University without ever visiting Blue Mound. Many, wrapped up in their studies and University life, never see Cameron's Nuff or Lakeview. How many students have scaled the sides of the long hill southwest of town? Before long, Violet Hill will be a place of delight, but what proportion of the students would know it if they saw it?
How many know where stands the "maunted house," and how many are familiar with the winds and turns of
Mounted house, and how hammers the pillar with the winds and turns of the Wakarauss? Now is the time to begin a little exploration.
ONE THOUGHTFUL ENGINEER
He strolled up the long walk from Marvin Hall down to the Adams street approach. All the while he was toying with a small red enameled can on which were pretty yellow letters and a picture suggestive of nobility.
Half way down the Hill he encountered a little heap of miscellaneous trash. He stopped, ana, with a good-natured attempt at burlesque, tenderly deposited the pretty tin container upon the heap with the remark.
"Boys, I've carried this can all morning and this is the first time I've had a chance to throw it away without decorating the campus."
ESSAY ON WOMAN
There are three kinds of women:
suffractions, anti-suffragists, and neutrals. They all have a motto. The motto of the suff, is "Votes for Woman"; the motto of the anti-suff, is "Woman's Sphere is the Home"; the motto of the neutral is "Let the Men Do the Work."
You can always tell what a woman is when she begins to talk. The suff. says, "That was a ripping good lee. You have to be careful not to it?" The anti-suff. says, "My dear, I have the darlingest new recipe for tea biscuits." The neutral says, "Oh! do come with me to the matriines this week!" The sadness that the lead is just too sweet for words."
You can tell their children, too. The suff's says, "Sure I'll go—it don't make any difference to her." The anti-suff's says, "I'll tease her and then she'll tell me." The neutral's doesn't know 'me' will ask Dad if I can."
It is usually pretty easy to find out
to which type a woman belongs. If
she is a suff, she tells you about it
in the first five minutes; if she is an
anti, she insists upon telling you about
her home and husband; if she doesn't
do either, then you know she is

Life.
HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
This is the time of year when professors are obliged to fill out confidential information forms about them, and they do not know or have forgotten.
If the high school students judge K. U. by the winds that blew on Friday, they must think it is a pretty lively place.
It is funny how the men ridicule spring fashions in women's clothing, and buy for themselves, bright green caps and screaming neckties.
Why abolish the paddling of freshmen? If they have been paddled before they won't mind it and if they haven't它 is time that they should be.
Professors' salaries are like the famous Newlyweds' kid—they never seem to grow very fast.

CAMPUS OPTION

We bear of tradition at Harvard, at Smith, at Cornell, at Michigan and at nearly every other school in the country. We have some real traditions at K. U.; ?
To the editor of the Kansan:
The time for commencement is drawing near; and with commencement comes tradition. Every loyal senior in the class of 1917 wants his class day exercises to be the best ever, so he starts to start enthusiasm is here right now.
CAMPUS OPINION
It has been traditional for the graduates to wear caps and gowns at least during commencement week. But how strong is that tradition if we don't all wear them? We are trying our best to urge the members of the faculty to wear caps and gowns and students to wear long sleeves, haven't enough chaos spirit nor enough loyalty to their Alma Mater to do the traditional tors of knowledge.
There may be some in the class no so fortunate as to have the necessary funds and we don't expect anyone to spend more than they can afford. It is true—there are other things the seniors must pay for—layhawkers, senior invitations and announcements—but isn't a cap and gown most essential to good class day exercises? We draw them on this purpose! Strive toward this purpose? And just to make things seem perfect even if they aren't, why don't we refuse the privilege of mounding the platform to any senior who doesn't come beaked in the garb of our class mates? College Spirit.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
to the lecturer or the kamitai:
Please allow me to make a correction of the statement in the Plain Taicho column last week about the classical music it is. It is ALWAYS OPEN. Occasionally the door leading to it thrue the corridor is locked, but access to the museum can always be had thru the Greek lecture-room.
Allow me at the same time to call attention to two matters of importance. Students and faculty are especially requested by a notice to help in the care of the objects in the museum, particularly when entering or leaving the museum lecture-room. But I often find the door wide open. Again, we find it impossible to put on exhibition a number of things of interest because of our limited space, so we are not able for want of funds to have a permanent guardian of the museum, and can never have it entirely locked. Anything that you can do to encourage the spirit of appreciation of objects is very welcome to the University without appropriation of them will have the gratitude of
Sincerely yours,
A. M. Wilcox.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
Many of the students feel that in order for the University as a whole to enjoy and take part in the commencement exercises, a different arrangement should be made from that which has been customary.
During the years that those who are seniors now have been here, the students have had very little to do with the program for commencement week. Most of the students go home, from a sense of duty, to do it largerly. Most of them sense it.
Why can't we have our examinations after commencement week? Why does the University not arrange so that all the students have a part in this week's conference, wondered about this condition, but nothing definite has been done so far. If commencement week came a week earlier and examinations afterward, every one could have his part in the conference on the part of all would be insured.
It is only natural that this should be the case. As matters stand now, examinations are over, and there is in fact, no reason in the minds of the students why they should remain for another class does not particularly concern them.
In many universities and colleges, examinations are held after commencement; the University of Tennessee, Ohio State University, Maryland Agricultural college, and Oregon Agricultural College are examples-
Another point which has been in the minds of many of the students is the fact that final examinations for seniors are really unnecessary and uncalled for. The teachers are doing satisfactory work. How much more interest would be taken by the students who are to graduate if they didn't have to bother with a bunch of examinations which are merely a matter of form, but which take their time and attention to prepare them. The photo of the students to ask that any one who is not doing satisfactory work be exempt from final exams, but they do feel that for those who are doing satisfactory work, final examinations are a burden which are entirely unnecessary. Some institutions of learning have adopted this Oklahoma University in an example.
Petitions will soon be in circulation which embody the ideas expressed in this article, and it is to be hoped that all juniors and students in this in-formation are armed with them.
If the University will grant these

requests, it will certainly mean that Commencement Week will take on a different aspect; that is, it will more nearly resemble a large family gathering for graduation ceremonies, a stuff, formal, meaningless ceremony. The Sachem Society.
