WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 17, 1924
- It is often said that the strength of an institution lies in its traditions. Tonight the University is adding another link to the chain of its traditions when the new students on the Hill will pledge loyalty to their Alma Mater.
The significance of the new tradition is to be permanent—not a fleeting period of excitement. It is to be lasting and sincere. It offers an opportunity for the eleven hundred and sixty-three freshmen and the other new students of the University to become a working and actual part of the state university.
What chances in the next world has the prof, who never gives the members of his class an inkling of their standing until the middle or end of the semester?
PARENTS WONDER
When Willie "hike" this evening? unless father, reading about the Leob-Loepold triumph, of mother, reading Black Oxtail, in a McCutech cartoon published during the summer's most famous murder trial. Mother answers, "I don't know. He took the car just after dinner. Why?"
"Oh, nothing. I was just wond- ring." is the father's reply.
The sad thing about these parents' casual requiry is that Willie, judging from his picture on the mantel, is or senior high school age. It is too late for his parents to begin to wonder.
A recent publication of the National Health Council carries the significant statement, "Basic adult personality is usually formed and fairly well fixed by the eight year of life. It is in this plastic, flexible period that the necessary wholesome habits of mental health can be best instilled and faulty ones, pointing to impending disaster later in life, corrected."
Darrow, in his defense of the youthful Chicago murderers, said, "We are dealing with a placing a blot upon the executions of two families that do not deserve it."
Whether the two families deserved this blot or not is questionable, but certainly other families, both rich and poor, should take load of the distress brought upon the families of Nathan Leepold and Richard Leeb.
Loeb's family will put Richard's younger brother to work, but this will not solve their problem. It is easy enough to give the order and to have servants enforce it. But for successful parenthood it is necessary that those in charge of the children take time personally to understand their charges, to live with them, to know their moods, and to help them to form a good basis of personality.
Parents must not begin too late to wonder.
The whistle seems often to have a cold upon its chest that jaws the artistically tempered. It's a little rude about breaking in on lectures, and some consider it industrial.
PIG-HEADEDNESS
Every worth-while student has, and should have, opinions of his own, and it is no more than natural that he should, more or less frequently, give expression to his ideas and beliefs. Expression is a means of mental growth and a personification of life and vitality. In most cases it accompanies a positive personality.
Some students, however, have notions of such an unalterable nature as to be foolish. They believe themselves to be strong and firm in their convictions. In reality, they are merely
plig-headed. They will learn from no one. They will take directions from none.
The pig-banded student derives but little benefit from his college career. He discounts every professor's mentality unless the content of his lectures happen to agree with the pig-banded student's previously conceived notions on the subject. All other matter he regards as extraneous and of no consequence.
An education should consist in a reasonable amount of acceptance and regard for the views of others accompanied by a clear and unbiased judgment of one's own. The pig-headed student cannot or will not arrive at a correct perspective with regard to himself. He cures to learn nothing new. He might as well stay at home. The University has little it can offer him.
PREPARATION TO VOTE
November elections will soon be upon us. Many of the students will assume, for the first time, the duties of citizenship. Students are preparing themselves for the future—both their own and that of the nation.
When a graduate leaves college he is usually trained for some profession, he has acquired some cultural knowledge, and perhaps a little social polish, but how many have had any preparation for citizenship? How many are even interested in it?
One of the greatest dangers, in a government such as ours lies in the absence of a sense of responsibility in the average citizen. When could a more apportune time and place for development of this sense be found during the college course? We owe it to the nation, the state, the local community, and to ourselves to find out how to perform a citizen's duties.
The materials for study, the teachers, and the organizers are easily accessible. Let's get informed.
CAMPUS OPINION
To the editor:
The students of the University are confronted with the same message this year that they have had for several years. They learn from one class to another in the various automobiles. There have been two or three accidents on the camps in the last two years because of speeding and reckless driving.
The Men's Student Council passed a bill at a meeting last spring to take care of this but, so far, it seems to have been in vain. The automobile drivers seem to feel that they have the right of way because some new pavement has been installed. The business of the walking students to dodge them rather than for them to go at a more considerate speed.
All of the old students should have read the student council bill as it appeared in the Kansas last spring and maybe most of the offenders in the case, it might be well to give the substance of the bill. This bill makes it unlawful for any male student to drive or cause to be driven any motor vehicle at a hour on any roads of the campus between classes.
Most of these students who are committing this offense either do not think of what they are doing or they don't care. In either case, I think that the Student Council should busy before we have any bad acces
The punishment for this is: for the first offense—taking away the social privileges for one semester; for the second offense—prohibition of driving a motor car on the campus in addition to the first offense; and for the third offense—suspension from the University for the period of one

These days, there's too much boasting of the Plain.
Two many empty words of brotherhood,
Two much acceptance of the multitude
And not enough of clean aloofness and

Some things don't deserve alike on the just and the unjust. What have we done to deserve having all the classes we want closed when we arrive to enroll?
Couldn't we have some system of getting started in this institution that would require locat of standing on our own and other people's feet?

Worth Running After
At this time of year, with the buying of books and the many other school demands, the University student whose allowance is limited must watch the corners for unnecessary expenditures and not run after too many false gods—BUT in watching these corners he must NOT overlook that which makes him a part of the University and which is very much worth running after—his Student Enterprise Ticket.
An Enterprise Ticket Will Admit You To:

AND LISTEN!
The price of the ticket is only $13.50. Just think—$37.50 for $13.50. Almost three for one—a REAL BARGAIN-BUT there's just a limited number of tickets left so you'd better hike right over to the Business Office and get yours now!
