WEDNESDAY, OCT. 14, 1925 "TO INTERPRET AN IDEAL" "To interpret an ideal of life to the students on the campau." That is the purpose of the University Y, M, C, A., yet how many students mistake the real mission of the Association. Many students think first of the employment bureau, or the student handbook, when the Y, M, C, A. is mentioned. Although the Association is glad to do these things for the students, they are just expressions of the organization, and do not constitute its real purpose. A survey recently conducted at Northwestern University showed the great diversity of opinion on the main function of the Association on the campus. Almost all of them conceived of the Y, M, C, A, as a personal service bureau. Their attitude was one of recipients instead of participants. Far too few of the students took the higher view of the /Association and stated that the purpose was "to promote religious and moral health of the men on the campus;" or "to lead students to faith in God." Very few students on the Hill realize that the Association is endeavoring to do something constructive in helping them to find the way to live. The Y, M, C, A. does not force opinions upon anyone; it merely tries to point the way. One thing that should be included in every statement of the purpose of the Y, M, C, A. is that it teaches students to be critical. It warns students of the danger of taking anything for granted, and encourages them to examine everything in the light of unbiased intelligence. A prominent professor at the University said that he believed that the Y, M, C, A. was mainly responsible for the critical attitude of students on the Hill. The advent of the new freshman rules has brought a demand from the senior men of the Hill for a collapsible paddle. May we never lose that attitude. Let it continue to spur men on in a persistent search for the method and spirit of Jesus and their implications for daily living. And may the Y. M. C. A. ever make paramount their real purpose, "to interpret an ideal of life to the students on the campus." "MEEETING-CURSED" SCHOOLS Since the president of Oklahoma A. and M. College has come to the conclusion that most students are run to death by meetings he has decreed from now on no meetings are to be held unless they are officially sanctioned. This movement on the part of a college executive will be regarded with a great deal of favor on the part of those who have been leaders in the "anti-meetings" campaigns which are popular in most American colleges at the present time. Meetings of committees, boards, organizations, departments and councils occupy the greater part of the popular student's day, giving him little time and many excuses for not preparing his lessons. The common plea for low grades on the part of a student engaged in extra-curricular activities is that his meetings take all his time and none is left to devote to his neglected studies. Many parents wonder why it is that John or Mary spends so much time on the Hill, yet seem to accomplish so little in an academic way. When questioned these busy people will say that they have been to meetings! Meeting? Meetings! They are becoming a curse to the educational training of any willing worker, and a grand alibi to the student who really doesn't want to study. Perhaps the move by the Oklahoma Agye president will lead to a reduction and simplification of that college's activities, and will perhaps see an example for other "meeting cursed" schools. President Coolidge's journey to the West last week to speak before the Legion convention at Omaha is considered to be of importance to political circles for two reasons, namely, the placing of the Republican party on a definite stand on the Ku Klux Klan issue, and bringing to the foreground once more the probability that Coolidge will be a candidate for another term in 1928. A DEFINITE STAND Although the klan issue is supposedly dying slowly, it is still smouldering sufficiently to embassai congressional candidates seriously in the election next year. It also has the possibility of carrying the embarrassment over to the presidential campaign. President Coolidge made no direct reference to the klan, but his remarks on tolerance in America have been construed as a recognition of the fact that there are significant possibilities involved. He has placed himself and his party on record as not standing for the Ku Klux idea in politics. TORRID CANINE He was only a dog. He walked around the campan from day to day, as dogs will; and was as happy as a Phi Beta Kappa at Harvard. And why shouldn't he be happy? He was not a dirty little curt, but a thoroughbred with a pedigree. And he had a good collar. Truly the collar was not gold-plated or diamond-studded, but still it was a good collar and very collariate. Whenever he was cold some student would let him in the Ad building where he would lean against the steam radiator and let the warm penetrate his pulsing well-fed body. The kind fanitor always pitted him in the head as he passed by. Now why don't some villain come around and run over him or at least kick him in the slats, so that we can have a subject for an editorial. We have always heard that light travels exceedingly fast, which explains the Jayhawk's failure to catch the Behm last Saturday. "Kansas Grows the Best Wheat in the World." CRAZY IDEAS? Are these the ideas of a crazy man? That will be left to the courts of Omaha to decide. For J. Woody Hockaday of Wichita has been arrested and is being held in an Omaha hospital for investigation of his mental condition. Kansas Wheat Girl. "H" road-markers. Whether the Wheat girl idea has been foolish or not is open to question, but the road markers and to a certain extent the wheat slogan, have been very beneficial. A man may be mentally unbalanced et have sane moments when he does ood things. If Mr. Hockaday is found not sane in the psychopathic examination, Kansas can say that she has benefited by having a crazy man for a citizen. Marquette university has an extraordinary student enrolled in the freshman class this year. He is Clifford Haymaker, who has been blind during his entire life. He was victorious of his graduating class in high school and studied by "mental visualization." His excellent notes, has learned to play the piano by ear and is also able to play the banjo, saxophone and ukulele. Certain species of frogs in the Philippines have remarkably large, fully-wrapped hands and feet which they use as parachutes in jumping OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Sociology club meeting Thursday, October 15, at Westminster Hall All members and major expected to attend. SOCIOLOGY CLUB: Copy received at the Chancellor's Office until, 11:09 a. m. Jesse James writes in to this col- ZOOLOGY CLUB: LOUIS E. EVANS, President. H, as A.C. C, says, "superiority is the superiority students, then possibly the university counsel and department Council must be justified. But to the writer, at least, C. C would seem to be looking through the wrong lens. The product may well be superior and should be, but it would be very much inferior to our aim of University students. “Read,” a Hill professor urges, “read on innumerably,” he continues, “read vivaciously, read in the morning, read in the evening.” We urge, do read a bit, but what? “We urge, do read a bit, but what?” "Jimmy Xmas, this face pack sure burn! Holly smoke, what do you suppose the dear old sister put on? You've got an applesuit and the agonized walls coming from the sophomore girl attempting to beautify her face. A junior on going to her aid found that the absent minded girl was wearing toothpaste instead of beauty clay.

Jesse says it would be very convenient if a sign where one should chuckle could be installed in the stories appearing. It was as an alumna of the University of Kansas that I addressed the Campus Opinion column recently. It is true that C. S. says, that I am not enrolled in C. S. says, that I am not enrolled surely an alumna of the University, a resident of Lawrence and a subjec- tive of the University, an opinion on a matter that is arousing considerable feeling throughout the university. Campus Opinion Editor, Daily Kansas: The Zoology club will hold an important meeting tonight, October 14 at 7:30 in room 304 Snow hall. WALLACE NEWBY, President. The letter which attired C. C, to reply was occasioned by a freshman pump-up on Friday, Oct. 2. I chanced to see a reagent freshman just as a group of my classmates afterward, when the 30 or so students he had taken him. The boy was muddy from head to toe, one trouser boy whose knees were bruised and bloody. This is not "all talk about indiscriminate paddling" but rather a second-hand report. It may be that this one incident was the only one where it happened. It may be that each other paddlings were not true, that in the excitement of the clause, even "discriminate paddings" so called, may degenerate into something whether padding itself is a "veritable crucifixion" or not, not the que Plain, Tales From the Hill If it is true, as C. C. and others say, that through paddling and other activities they love their University, then what about the women—the "great unpudipped," the "greater unpudienced" devotion to Alma Mater must not be confined to the men of the University can only come to "appreciate and honor their University by a little effort." On the women at once lest 25 years from now we be no women to speak of, but without any approaching that of Miss Hannah who talked at our second initiation service—a beautiful service by the way, but without any preceding week. Real loyalty is a thing of the spirit, and truth is a thing of the process. Truth thing that can be cognized by the application of a barrel stave, trouser, or dress; truth thing that can be cognized by the application of their University. Quite as truly hundreds of K-U. men and women who have never been the batt of a group of young ladies are passed to have never been the buff of their Alma Mater as are any loyal sons of Kunawa—or West Points, for --mm that he wishes a stop, look and laugh system could be installed. Jesse says it would be very convenient if a sign where one should chuckle could be installed in the stories appearing. Which almost equals the care free freshman who was reprimanded for going on so many country drives during the week. She explained that she was out for the Rhodes scholarship, N. B. This is a pun. Whatever the aim of University life, are we not putting the cart before the horse, when we try to force loyalty and trust among our students a chance to discover for themselves what the University has to offer them, and soon out of their own hands, to acquire a natural, impulse, spontaneous will that will wirk miracles. R. J. G. They do say—An instructor in American government recently stated that any person born in the United States was a citizen regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. And now the Grandtind coach ays the reason we let Ames bent so but we had that they wanted the kite game. Shape for the kite game--Maybe. The editorial class was considering the understatement as a form of humor in editorial paragraphs and the following illustration was turned in: "Many a man has had a lot of fun with a little miss in his ear." On Other Hills Freshmen at McGill University, Montreal, Canada, must walk on the roads of the campus. On no occasion may they use the sidewalk. The pop rally, a time honored celebration for the reception of newcomers to McGill University, Montreal, Canada, took place Oct. 2. The program was organized by the university, and music by an orchestra. Students at Iowa State college do motor car repair work in a new laboratory recently installed. A flat rate is charged for work, the owner for repairs on new parts. Procedures are used to pay instructors and to purchase tools. The first issue of "The Yellow Crane," Doe Paunce university humorous publication, will be Oct. 21, the staff said. The issue is named the "Gold Day Number." A vigilance committee composed of prominent men in the sophomore class has been appointed at the University of Florida to enforce freshman rules there. Claude Reed, freshman cochal at the University of Oklahoma, was given the title of the best all time Slower football player by the Oklahoma City Times. He won 13 letters while at Oklahoma State in 1923 and gave him in 1923. Reed played fullback for Oklahoma in 1910, 1911, 1912, and 1913. Enrollment at Creston university, Omaha, has reached 2,350, a substantial increase over other years. The greatest increase is in the law school where the enrollment is 192 and the number of 40 per cent over last year. Ohio State University at Columbus, Ohio, has changed the pharmacy course from three to a four year course. Ohio is now one out of three universities in the country accredited as a profession with four years as the minimum requirement. Last Sunday was Big Sister calling day, an annual event of the Big Sister organization at the University of Nebraska. All non-sorority women, who are freshmen or new students at the university, were visited by the other women of the school. Freshmen women at the University of Nebraska must wear a green button, according to a recent ruling The honor system has been accepted by the student body of the University of Southern California. At the close of examinations the student is required to state that he has neither given nor received aid in his examination. Travonts for cheer leader at the University of Nebraska were held recently. Three variety and five freshmen leaders were chosen. Two freshmen leaders, five new men were chosen from which will be picked the leaders for next year. A kindergarten has been established on the campus at Tulsa university. There are 50 children enrolled. Students of education conducted their teaching the third development of character by means of games. Jazz teas are being hold this year at McGill university in the Union cafeteria. These events, held last week, will be attended by the students, and widely attended.
