The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the new students than to merely printing the news that is important in University hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be aggressive; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to develop an ability to the students of the University.

BACKING UP THE TEAM
**KNOWING AND DOING**
The more extensive a man's knowledge of what has been done, the great he is to be aware of knowing what to do—Discern.
You are back of the team, of course, but have you seriously considered accompanying the boys to Lincoln? That is where the support will do the most good and any student who can possibly meet the expense should go. The carfare is nine dollars.
A special train will leave here Friday night for the land of the Cornhuskers and a large number of students are planning to go. If you want to see the Jayhawk clean up on the mighty Cornhuskers for the first time in six years scrape the remainder of your month's allowance together, collect that election bet or borrow the necessary amount from a friend and how the rattler northwest next Friday night.
Tomorrow night the team leaves and the cheerleaders have planned a big send-off for the boys. Also bear that date in mind. You know what is expected of you on these occasions as a loyal K. U. student.
In the meantime remember that a big rally is planned for tonight in the chapel. The date rule is off for the occasion and every student on the Hill is expected to be there.
Wanted: A definition of the term "keen"; also a history of its evolution as applied to the female of the species. A girl, a freshman at that, is said to have objected to the term as disrespectful and uncomplimentary.
HONOR SYSTEMS
The professor wrote the quiz questions on the board, and then turned and said to the class: "I shall leave you entirely on your honor during this quiz. Please sign a statement at the end of your paper stating that you have neither given nor received aid in the examination."
Then he left the room until the end of the period, and the honor sentiment in the class, surprised and awakened by the unusual method of the instructor, promptly eliminated cribbing.
A student said, "I have never cheated in an examination here but once. That was in the department, and I did it just to see if I could 'get by' the system they use in that department of watching every movement to see if they can catch you. I 'got by', too."
Both of these incidents actually happened in K. U. this term.
KNOCKING
Knocking is one of the most abused subjects in the world. All the world hates a knocker. But just think what the world would amount to if there were no knockers in it. If every one had the very same ideas, every one would grow stale and stagnant.
The man who disagrees with the established order of things is called a knocker, and when he begins to have a following is called a rebel.
But what is he called when he at last establishes himself and his ideas in the hearts of the people?
He is called a reformer. Dissatisfaction is the mother of progress. The man who is not satisfied with affairs has as much right to complain as any one. There is only one condition that holds in regard to the knocker. He must first have some remedy to offer, some cure for the illness, before he drags out his hammer and goes to work.
Patrick Henry decided, some years ago, that he would rather have death than liberty, if he couldn't have his liberty the way he wanted it.
Patrick Henry was knocking when he said that. But he had something to offer beside the usual amount of "kill-joy." That's why we have his picture in our public schools and our school children emulate him at graduation exercises.
ON HIKES
"Hiking" is a universal practice among the children of Mount Oread. Upon autumnal days, with their falling, fluttering leaves and autumn decay; winter days, with their frozen, white and wonderful tranquility; and in the freshness of spring, the students scurry away from the towers and gables of stone that crown the summit of the Hill and seek out the pleasant country places near.
Do you know that wild grapes are now ripe on Blue Mound? Have you ever seen the sun set from across the big pond at Lake View? Have you even penetrated the mysterious intricacies of the "jungle" upon our own campus,—just north of the Chemistry Building? These are all conventional places, but there is something new to see every time you visit them.
A walk in the country should bring vigor to the mind as well as to the body. It should not consist in covering so many miles. It should be an exploration that brings freshness of thought and inspiration to the mind.
We neophytes have much to learn, and the process of our learning must necessarily be slow. Hikes are seldom taken at leisure, and thus we overlook so much that we might see if we were not in such a hurry to "get there" and get back again.
Where did you go Sunday, and where will you go next week?
A newspaper man spends half of his time trying to print something and the other half trying o keep something else out of print. He sleeps the rest of the time—Erie (Pa.) Dispatch. And then if he finds any spare time he takes a little recreation by playing golf.

Bill: "It's a hard game to play.
It looks game where you discard everything

She-I think that a man should always dress quietly.
Wife: "John, you've been drinking again; and you promised me never to touch another drop. I can smell it off your breath."
He—I guess you never saw one lose a collar button—Minnehaha.

Hubby: "I've been eating frogs less than the hops you smell."--The Varsity.

CAMPUS OPINION
Community College of New York will be published a good faith but will not be published a good faith because it is not an accredited college.
Is it the sidelines for the paddle?
Is that ancient emblem of freshman torture to be discarded to the scrap heap?
EXIT THE PADDLE KANSAN
With influential faculty members and prominent religious leaders of the city showing the actual harm done to existing customers, now existing custom, probably it is.
Paddle wielding has been forgotten, they declare, at most of the prominent colleges and universities of the country, that it doesn't afford to lag behind in the reform.
But what shall take its place? Will Kansas adopt the English system of "cutting" any student who fails to live up to college tradition. Absolutely wrong. It would be a novel way of punishing an offender and probably would have a far better effect than running a dozen gauntlets. It might prove a joke for a day or, but being snubbed and not allowed, would students would soon have its effect.
The paddle once eliminated from the University, the fraternities would have little difficulty in getting a substitute for it in "working over" their annual product of pledges. Several of the Greek organizations are forced to taking the severer award is probable that some of the fraternities will abolish the paddle some time before it is generally done by the student body.
A Junior.
HE DEFENDS PADDLING To the Kansan:
At last has come the long expected controversy about the mild form of hazing practiced on freshmen who neglect their distinctive headscarf. On the one hand are those who consider hazing a cultural evidence of barbarism, a practice not appropriate among men of the civilization and culture supposed to exist in an American university. On the other hand are those who declare that hazing is part of the culture, giving it uniting the first year men, and giving them a class consciousness.
As a matter of fact, the enforcement of the cap rule has just one purpose, i. e. to humiliate the freshmen, and make them continually conscious of the fact that they are just a shade newer than anyone else on the Hill. This purpose is justified by the sup- pension statue in likeness to become intoxicated with the college atmosphere, become conceived, in other words, and that to make a real man of him it is first necessary to teach him his proper place.
Whether each discipline is necessary or not is a matter of opinion. Certainly there are many students who need no treatment of any kind to make them realize how small they are in the world, but the number whose concept could not be shaken by treatment much more severe than caps or paddles. As to the barbancy of the custom, it might be well to note that as a rule eastern universities, supposedly more cultured than western universities, are more severe in their treatment of freshmen than are the upperclassmen of K. U.
