THE RIGHT TO VOTE
Apparently the students of the University are not any more eager to exercise their right of franchise than are the people of the nation at large. When national elections are held, we are astounded to hear that only 50 per cent of the voting population took the trouble to go to the polls, and we loudly condemn them for their lack of interest in the way in which the affairs of the nation are conducted.
At the recent elections, however, it was evident that students care even less who their class officers are. Out of approximately 4,000 students enrolled in the University, only 1,627 voted in the election. This of course is less than 50 per cent of the votes that should have been cast.
If students get into the habit of thinking that it doesn't matter whether their one ballet goes into the los or no, they are apt to continue in the same train of thought when they are out of school. The privilege of voting is one which has cost the lives of many men to gain. And those to whom the heritage incunabla should not neglect the opportunity which has been given them to make concrete their ideas of government.
But with no issues at stake in campus elections, how could serious interest be justified? Being little more than a popularity content, thinking students can hardly afford to spend the time required to take any part in elections.
Students have real problems; there are lots of things about the Hill that should be corrected. It is up to the student political parties to create a platform that evidences at least an average use of gray matter. When this happens, it will be the duty of every student of the University to evince enough thought and interest to participate in class selection.
"Enterprise ticket sale is in excess of former years," says a headline. That sounds encouraging indeed. H. G. Wells estimates that there have been more than 20 million.
OUR CAMPUS OPINION
COLUMN
The University Daily Kansan is the official paper of the University. It is reintained for the benefit of the school and student body and is a medium between the student and events and activities on the Hill. But there is one feature of the Kansan set aside solely for the use of students that has not been used as much as it should be. This is the campus opinion column.
There are many opinions on the Hill that should be expressed. The Kanan offers this column to those who wish to use it for that purpose. We want students to know that they do not have to use a pink sheet to express their opinions.
Today we have two campus opinions on a subject that is occupying the attention of the University these days. We wish to encourage further discussion of this or any other subject of interest to students. Several other opinions have been received and will be published as soon as possible.
As I sit down to护 a protest against the action of the Men's Student Council last Wednesday, I realize that it depends on what the purpose of school life is whether or not the action was justified.
Campus Opinion
Editor, Daily Kansan:
The purpose of the action as I understand it was to develop school spirit. And really those freshman rules must be commented as an excellent way of doing this. To suffer together under a common stigma is the best way of developing a feeling of solidarity among a heterogeneous group. And I commend the Council in choosing a very useful tool to help them grow. There may be a few obstreperous. Fresh who will be peeled by the rule, but most of them will take them kindly and carry them out whollyheartedly.
Some freshmen say they would not miss the opportunity of having this great attention paid to them. I can sympathize with these, for I never got so much kick in my stomach anything an artificially adrenaline-pumping subject into the Subrinx (one-time freshman "honorary" organization) and the fraternity hell week and the many paddlings of pledge life. Not even that was rough, however, and I advertised the fact that I was going to graduate because I hoped to be tossed in a blanket. Yes, I like. Fresh rules and hating.
But I do question the value of this kind of spirit. It seems to be like that religious spirit, fostered by common suffering in medieval macaciously which caused the fall of the Empire. But that natromatic spirit developed in Germany through universal military training before the last war. And even worse, it seems somewhat like that spirit of 100 per cent Americanism in this country. Because of our lack of love for Americans, we cannot improve us, are perfect, we are it.
Laws of biology and sociology and history show us that uniformity of development is sterile. It is only through the variations that progress comes. The genius and the leader in any realm is one who is not like the majority, one who does not adhere to the rules and customs of society.
There are enough forces working for uniformity on the campus now. Everyone does the same thing at the same time. We work on the sections in the newspaper, the same sport news and work the same cross word puzzles. We take the same exams and go to the same games. They are intolerable, their uniforms is intolerable.
We are the best organizer of the world, perhaps of all history. We can manufacture more goods in less time and with less expenditure of effort than ever before. But have we produced any personally who will walk to the aid of an equivalent of music, art, literature, religion or what not.
It is up to the universities of the country to take the lead in this matter of developing outstanding personalities. And making rules for representing freshmen in the moral way is a responsibility that out of it uniform machine-made product.
I know that many of the other schools in the country make their fresh wear capes all the year and go through other penalties for their behavior. Should we should? Instead of following blindly in the lead, of the other schools, why not strike out on a new line for ourselves, trying to work out a plan of developing the individual skills and capacities in the freshmen.
There is no use of saying this, for I realize that we are too much committed to our present standard of uniformity and regulation (within anti-capitalism) and anti-evolution because in something else may be more valuable.
If the freshmen would organize and in an orderly way initiate legislation nullifying this action according to the means provided by the constitution of the Associated Men of the States, it would be a moot负胜 sign.
However, I do not expect that any of them will have the initiative and desire *m* to do.

In view of the buzzing comment on the Hill regarding the passing of the freshmen regulations by the Men's Student Council, I would like to take this opportunity to make a few brief remarks through your columns.
For the past few years there has been no apparent lack of school spirit at old K. U., and year by year this trend has unifying influence has been falling low and lower. It is an appalling fact that last year some freshmen had worn their caps, but they didn't wear their caps regularly, and that they "get by with it."

I am firmly convinced that when he members of the Men's Student counell, the leaders on the Hill, were
considering these new regulations they had in mind curbing this "get by" attitude of the freshmen, welding the whole of K. U. into close union and injecting an "old time spirit" in the school consider a valuable asset.
The regulations were not passed with the idea of furnishing amusement for the seniors. They werepassed with the idea of instituting into these neophytes of ours the kind of fighting spirit that Van, Doctor Allen and Professor Davis took us about at the rally Friday night.
One of the most valuable things which this piece of Council legislation can do is to teach the freshman his proper relationship in this new society he just affiliated himself with. Not only in this society but into all other schools out of school. He has just finished his career in the Bingerville High School, where, in the last year, he had the feeling that he was high and mighty, that he had attained a station in life where he must be looked up to. In other words, he was a wick bit "cocky" from his last association with it, since he did not grow on a larger and vastly different scale. At home he might have been a leader of a few, but here he must learn that he is only one in many. He is now with the so-called intelligent, the cream of the land. He has a new step and stride to learn. In talking to a number of freshmen, he finds it not object to the regulations as a cloak. True enough, they single out
In talking to a number of freshmen I have found out that they do not object to the regulations as a whole. True enough, they single out one regulation they object to, but on the large part they accept them as
being traditional college affairs and in the long run beneficial to the school.
Then, too, it must be pointed out that the schools all over the country have rules governing the first year men and in many places they are much more stringent than in the school says that no freshman shall walk more than two consecutive blocks on the same side of the street, but each coat must be kept buttoned at all times, another that senior men must be "buttoned," still another passes regulations home and jumps as well as freshmen.
We seniors do not enforce the rules for the love of paddling freshmen. We enforce them with the idea to teach him to be a better射者, to heed the words of his superiors and to love his alma mater.
These regulations have been attacked by some as being worthless, degrading and silly. Yet these people who are ready to tour them learn that they can find value in view are worthy but they have offered no constructive criticism.
We have climbed for student government. Now we have it and it is functioning. Shall we turn it back he said? We shall not but we were in several years ago?

City of Anaheim, the headquarters of the G.A.R., and American League were guests of the University.
Now that the first game is over and we know what our team can do, let us relax over Sunday with the assurance, as we take up our pipes and our compacts that we have a real floor for them. We take up their pipes and compactes, let us impress on you the fact that we have the newest, snappiest line of pipes, compacts, and toilet articles in this here town. Come and see for
