THAT INNER CIRCLE
Forced to secondhand mail matter Sep. 12, 1976 — The University of Alabama, Karnataka, under the act of Hassan II, 1952, issued a decree that "all materials and books, and on Shams' invitation by students in the university of Alabama, from the Press of the University of Alabama."
Our semi-annual epidemic of political fever has died down and left us comparatively wenchens and in our right minds now. Now that it is over more than one person, freshmen and new students especially, are asking themselves how it was done. Politics on the University campus function through two organized parties, the Phascomena and the Black Mask, respectively. The working organ within each party is the "inner mask," made up of members who are eligible because of their superior political ability, their tenacity toward what they unnypotenthetic people have been known to term "wire-pulling" and—nobody is quite sure why else.
The inner circles of each party have the good of their parties very much at heart. Indeed they have it so much in heart that they deem it evident to choose the candidates themselves. They very generously allow the members of the larger party the privilege of electioning—that is, convincing the uninvaded students of the undesirable qualifications of these candidates, and getting votes for them.
What goes on in in the inner circle is, of course news for inner curve cars alone. The party at large has enough confidence in these potentitors to accept their judgments an final without question. Such unquestioning faith in worth noting. Such undeniable show of perfect trust is rare. It is an example of a David and Jonathan friendship which is edged seem between members of such large organizations.
MONDAY,OCT.5,1925
There seems to be only one danger in such an arrangement, a danger which it may seem foolish to mention. That is, what would happen if by any possibility, any slip of fate, an unworried person should get on the inner circle; any person prejudiced by his membership in an organization, any person who would be bace upon to play candidate against candidate, or any one whose judgment as to the desirability of a candidate might by any chance bewaived by the latter's participation in activities?
The student who inadvertently headed Tuesday's notes "map 2" in stead of "clap, 2" may not have been so far off, at that.
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
The Kansas received word recently from the secretary of the AL-College Club reminding it of the all-college coronation ceremonies to be held soon at one of the universities of the southwest. The secretary urges the University of Kansas to elect a duchess immediately to attend the coronation.
Now we admit that we are a bit heavy about the details of this royal event, but the general idea appeals to us. It looks to us like a chance to develop some aristocratic refinement in these farmer and cowboy states of the Middlewest. Of course, this being in republican America, we have no duchesse already made. Hence we must do the only democratic thing, according to our constitutional principles, and elect us a duchess. Perhaps we ought to elect four or five so as to get a good start in building up a mobility. Then we must have a duke or two to keep the
Indies company. Who ever heard of
a problem dating who royalty?
But to get back to the coronation, Certainly K. U. shouldn't miss this opportunity of breaking into royal circles. Some people think of Kansas as a state of farmers and borneers and lover of liberty like John Brown. We must show them that we can appreciate the exclusiveness and high tone of monarchial society. Now if our duchess happens to have the rarest belle, the prettiest face and shiplike figure she'll probably be crowned queen. That would make Kansas. Think of it, a real queen!
Ever since we saw some real English nobility, that is some relatives of somebody that had some title or other, at the University three years ago, we've been convinced we had the makings of some royal highnesses among us.
In speaking of last week's unstable weather, which caused many to get caught without rain fortifications, a news story closed with the questions "Are there humans going to manage under such unstable circumstances?"
To which we answer: "Be a little 'slicker'."
A University woman at a Lawrence restaurant Saturday night perused her escort to carry away a small trinket which she desired to add to her collection of souvenirs. It was only a trifling thing, bright colored and cheap.
But the woman is an officially recognized representative of the highest type of University womanhood. She is a leader in social morality, and intellectual activities without numbers. Her support is sought for any undertaking which needs backing, and she is unquestioningly accepted by the faculty and students alike as a member of the ethical elite.
TOWN AND GOWN
There is a curious inincognithy between public and private integrity among students. Many who would unhesitably take a stand for honor in the conscious presence of a dilemma are wholly without a sense of moral responsibility in small matters such as souvenir collecting.
Time was when undignified animality prevailed between town and gown. It was one of the "Wandering Student" movement of the Middle Ages, when gown defrauded town of all possible merchandise. But this old regime has been outlived, and the old animosity has passed away along with Grootstein, Equi-issions, and other outworn creeds and customs. Lawrence mercantis have long displayed a spirit of co-operation with the University, and of good will toward the students. Surely sportmanship demands reciprocity.

To the Men of the University:
Last Thursday night in Myers hall the regular weekly meeting open to all University men of the Young Meech Christian Association was held on Wednesday, "What Alumni Expect of This Student Generation." delivered by Fred M. Harris, LL, R,"89, president of the K. U. Alumni Association and a prominent Ottawa attorney.
Far from being a lecture or sermon from the older generation to the new, it was a timely discussion of present day problems of interest to every University man. Yet of all the thousand or so men in the University only one, Mr. Brantley, was spending. It was an intuit to a fine speaker prepared to give real help to college men. What does it mean?
Campus Opinion
A few days ago, an editorial in the Kanaan hooded, "Are Students Religious," brought out a number of thoughts. But the question why the student refrains from attending the meetings of the church societies and Christian associations, was not answered.
Although a newcomer on Mount Oread, the writer is by no means unfamiliar with college life or the intricacies of its social life and the problems of social life, as discussed under the auspices of the Y, M, C. A. There seems to be no foundation in our studies on "general indifference," "crowded nature of student life," and "no deep
The exchange will be open Tuesday, Oct. 6, from 8:30 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 3:20.

Let me urge you former Hi-Y fellows, you old "Y" men, all you University men, old and new, who like a real good fellowship and a lively discussion to come out next week. Then we know you will come again when you find out for yourself just what you've been missing.

To the Editor:
Once more these playful children of our noble University have indulged themselves in the furtherance of harmless pastime, namely, persecuting the freshmen. Paired with this challenge they cannot be expected to consider such weighty problems as world peace, or honor in campus politics, but must divert their minds in a way suitable for babies. Nor can they be expected to spend their precious moments in public pleasures, more subtle pleasures of our civilization, such as literature, literature, thinking, or art. It is much more fitting that the Men's Student Council should provide for them a means of exercising their loveliest tendencies toward the arts, and to do that under the guise of school loyalty.
How noble they must feel when with a score of other heroes they line up a freshman and put him through all the upsets. And well, you know all the silly fates of university life—the game, athletics, student loyalty, traditions, and all the threadbare junk which a normal student is expected to rever
Editor, Daily Kansan:
How sweet to my ears is the least token of individuality! I always shake the hand of the man who says, "I hope we lose," or "Why don't you win?" Cinnamon and best the life out of the petty depots in the pudding squad?"
I should like to reply to L. G. C., whose letter on freshman regulations appeared in Sunday's Kansan. Poor fellow! How distressed he is at the moment, I don't understand how the freshmen were bold enough to boast that they didn't wear their caps reg-

early!" Dear, dear! It's a wonder that he ever survived the shock. But does his letter contain anything definite except a number of "napaling" grammatical bowers? I think so. For example, it contains the illuminating statement that the Student Council passed these recent regulations for the purpose of "welding together the wizard" and injecting an 'old time spirit' which every school considers an invaluable asset."
L. G. C, fails to make clear, however, just how the university is to be welded into closer unity by forbidding freshmen to speak with women, or how an old time spirit is to be installed by the indictment it brings to burls who have arrogated to themselves the power of enforcing laws which they passed merely for the satisfaction they derive from enforcing them. Many arguments (if they can be called that) are advanced by supporters of this practice. It is done because we are so utterly devoid of courage that we must follow tamely whenever fashion leads! The freshmen themselves don't mind it: does that in any way invalidate the objections to the custom? It is necessary to take some of the cockiness out of their minds so that he is going to take the cockiness out of upperclassman! Fine arguments!
Is there anyone that sees a single valid reason for these regulations? Is there anyone that can defend them in a logical, sensible way? Is there anyone who can on one hand they have accomplished? If there is, I'd like to meet him.
Respectfully,
On Other Hills
