TOPEKA KAN. UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME X1 THE DIZZY REEL OF BAGGING KNEES, CONT. NUMBER 59 O. P. Leonard Vies with Jack Fullerton, Departed, for Star Role COLD STUDENTS NEED SUITS The first reel was a farce-comedy, entitled, "The Busted Pantatomur," or "The Mystery of the Barging Patellas." The second reel is a tragedy; a dump, dark, dismal tragedy, with pathos of the "Death of Little Eva." Joint Contributors to K. U. P, and C. P. L. Rush Premises and Take What They Find The farce-comedy was run about two weeks ago, when the K. U. Pantatorium went somewhere, broke, it is reported, and paid its liabilities by nothing on the dollar. The tragedy was staged last year, but the work had contributed more widely enthusiastic audience than the f.c. Follows a short synopsis; Scene 1. O, P. Leonard, who was to be found at 841 Mass. Stu_upstairs, painlessly removes two and one-half dollars from 300 male students in return pantatorium tickets. Scene 2. O. P. Leonard boards a train from Kansas City, 26, pre- ferably for Kansas City. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON DECEMBER 8, 1913. Scenes 3, 4, 5, and 6. Mr. Leonard does not return to his anxious, solicitous, and solicited friends and clients. Scene 7. A cold wave comes, and many of the nipped ones congregate at the sanctum sanctorum and begin to pick up clothes. All but one of the employees have long since become discouraged and quit. In the general excitement and hurry many pick up clothes which properly do not belong to them. Many legs and arms are torn and pulled off. Scene 8. Those chosen ten who have paid in advance for tickets from the K. U. Pressing Institution and Mr. Leonard's Quick Service Plant gather together and gently sing, while the hot tears splash and fall, "Oh, Where is My Wandering Vest Tonight?" PAN-HELLENIC SCORES HIGH SCHOOL FRATS Association of National Fraternities Condemns "Prep" School Greek Letter Men Claiming that the high school fraternities defeat the true purpose of fraternalism, and that they are a menace to college fraternities, the Men's Pan-Hellenic Council passed a resolution yesterday which said the sentiment of their national office meeting, which was held recently. A member of the faculty, and an active fraternity worker said this morning in regard to the action of the Pan-Hellenic: "The resolution will show the sentiment of the college fraternities, but should be followed by a rule that would prohibit a high school frat man from being initiated into a college fraternity. The rule could be made to read that "Any high school student who is known to have been initiated into a high school fraternity after 1915 (or 1916) is ineligible for membership in any college social fraternity." Such a rule would give the high school men time to learn the sentiment of the men in college. Read your own KANSAN "The average high school student is too young and irresponsible to appreciate the real meaning of fraternism. Usually all it means to him is a flashy picture and a false sense of superiority over his students. Much of the criticism that comes to college fraternities is caused by the actions of high school bunches who are frat men only because of their insignia. This similarity of Greek names comes from the unconscious memory of some both boys and college Greek Letter societies. I am a member of both kinds and I can see no just cause for this confusion. A high school and a college fraternity are no more alike than black and white. College cites and admits Judaea and Bible-belly high school frats are controlled by boys, subject to the whims of the day." DEAN OLIN TEMPLIN HEARS WILSON SPEAK Accompanied by Mrs. Templin, K. U Faculty Man is Present at President's Thanksgiving Address Hearing President Wilson's Thanksgiving address, visiting the old home of Thomas Jefferson, and the University of Missouri, the home of the honor system, have been a part of the good fortune which has attended Dean Olin Templin on his vacation.

They were entertained by Dean and Mrs. Page of the College and were shown all of the exhibits in the historic university which is the originator of the honor system.

WOULD ADOPT HONOR CODE AT ONCE Christian Association Passes Resolutions Favoring Reforms in University Work MEMBERS PROMISE TO HELP Meeting Resolves to Assume Personal Responsibility for Promotion of Sentiment Y. M. C. A. Resolution Be it resolved, that the University Y. M. C. A., and the men students and faculty, here assembled, do hereby sanction and approve the formulation and advancement of an Honor Sentiment, and favor the ultimate establishment of an Honor System at the University the purpose of which shall be to eliminate all forms of cheating and dishonesty in University activities. inasmuch, as the sentiment of the men's student body, as here represented, seem to be in favor of an Honorate position at the college therefore. Be it further resolved, that in order to accomplish the fulfilment of the above resolution, we as individuals assume the personal responsibility for promoting the promotion of this sentiment. After a discussion lasting one and one-half hours, the Y, M, C, A, yesterday on reverence in learning in the mediate adoption of the honor system at K. U. The meeting was an open forum at which those present spoke as the spirit moved them. Statements and counter-statements followed each other rapidly and many spirited debates were waged. The Rev. Noble Strong Elderin of the Congregational church was the invited speaker. He made a sweeping arraignment of "white lies," and said that the same spirit which condones them in the business world is partly responsible for cheating in the University. Dr. Elderin quoted this phrase in the Daily Kaitenian in which the professors were made to bear the blame for cribbing because they put, so much stress on grades. "This Adam and Eve way of getting out of it," said Dr. Eldikern, "is a cheap one. It is beneath notice as an argument. The system of grading has been in use for years and has been evolved by whom you have lives in school work. Then the idea of fighting a thing which you oppose by underhanded means, is contrary to that for which the University stands." Fraternities Will Act On "Honor" Agitation Forty letters were mailed to fraternities, sororites, and other organizations this morning by the honor sentiment committee asking for their opinion in regard to the present agitation. A list of questions was given to the committee; the replies be returned to the committee not later than next Friday. The questions refer to methods of wushing the sentiment, suggested improvements of faculty methods in organization members who will actively support the movement. Suggestions of any kind were asked for. Discuss Daily Kansan Student Opinion Column In referring to the communication column of the Daily Kansan, Mr. Elderkin said, "I would like to think that all the communications were received in the office up in the office as we suspect some metropolitan papers do." One of the editors who was present assured the men that every communication that has been printed under the management of the paper should be made to add, "he continued, "that if anyone has any sentiments on the honor sentiment question—or the coaching proposition—write them out and send them to me. And be printed whether you agree with the policy of the Kansan or not. The author of one of the communications to which Mr. Elderman referred happened to be in the room and "confessed" to the authorship. The Council of the W. S. G. A. entertained 150 women students at its third matinee dance in the gymnasium Saturday.
