A NATURAL RIGHT
With the reaction of war and the release of autocracy in all its forms it is only natural that the students of the University of Kansas are again demanding that all University questions be handled by the students themselves. A crystallization of student opinion towards self-government in all their activities seems to be taking place. With this idea in mind, a committee has been appointed by Chancellor Frank Strong to work out the plans for bringing about a more representative plan of government at the University.
It is foolish to assert that University students have not the ability to be self-governing. If they are not they certainly have no business being in school. But the average student, in spite of temporary lack of restraint sometimes, is a serious minded individual, well aware of his responsibilities and with enough constructive initiative to move forward progressively; and he is entitled to the same rules of government in the University that prevail in any democratic community.
"No wonder the President had a nervous breakdown" says a student of "War and Peace" after three weeks conscientious inquiry into the entanglement of the League of Nations Covenant.
WERE YOU THERE?
Have you attended any of the Community Dances given in Robinson Gymnastium? If not, you are missing out on some of the real good times on the Hill. Three hundred and fifty students spent three enjoyable hours dancing Friday night in the gym at the second Community Dance of the year. These dances are conducted by the Men's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association. They are designed to give a larger number of the students entertainment of some kind. So far the programs have consisted of dancing alone, but the committees plan to add other features later on.
It is not necessary to have a date in order to attend. At the last dance the members of the two councils wore tags with "I'll introduce you," and those who attended without dates had no trouble in obtaining dancing partners. The floor in Robinson Gymnasium is excellent for dancing, and good music is always provided. The price is only twenty-five cents a person.
The movement is a commendable one
and is worthy of the support of every student on the Hill. Those who like to dance but cannot afford to attend the Varsity and other dances, will do well to remember that a Community Dance is planned for every Friday night.
Have you noticed how congenial the landlady is now that the room rent is about due again?
HOW NOT TO DO IT
The action taken by the Men's Student Council against night raids and the paddling of freshmen in their rooming houses meets with the approval of every conscientious, thinking upperclassman. It has been the work of only a few men who think ahead only far enough to see the enjoyment they might have by running a first-year man through the gauntlet. It matters not that he has committed no breach of rules, or failed to abide by a school custom. The thing uppermost in their minds is to get some freshman and paddle him.
The ruling passed by the Men's Student Council regarding the wearing of the freshman cap states specifically that they are to be worn on the Hill between the hours of six o'clock in the morning until six at night, and at all University activities. Nothing in this ruling would give anyone cause for paddling a freshman in his room at night. He is supposed to be there, studying, and it is an outrage when upperclassmen disturb him while he is in the pursuit of his studies.
Another commendable act of the council was the purchasing of a large canvas to be used in tossing freshmen who fail to wear their caps at football games, or who attend with dates. The blankets used heretofore have too small, and there was always danger of injuring some one. With the large, strong canvas this danger is eliminated.
At present the Chancellor and the Senate show an inclination to allow the students to handle the cap situation. They demand, however, that there shall be no promiscuous paddling or hazing. It is the combined opinion of the students that the tradition of first-year men wearing the freshman cap must be preserved. But it cannot be accomplished through indiscriminate paddling, hazing, or otherwise annoying the freshmen.

Make Thou me strong, O Lord!
Not for the victor's wreathed crowd
Not for the blory and renown
Make Thou me strong, O Lord!
Not for the council's highest seat,
But, mingling in the crowded street
To speak with wonderly low many
But in the hour of grim quiet
That comes upon the battle's heat
Gless Thou my blunted sword!
To speak with your lordly man
As with a brother, of Thy plan—
Iless Thou my humble sword!
Not to be first upon that way
Where hungry millions read their
day.
Thou me strong, O Lord
But, if at eve, when courage pale!
My step shall guide some fool tha'

Thine be the path I trod!
—Elizabeth Bertron Farnstock, in Scribner's.
I want a Chum,— Some one each day to come
And go with me;
To sit beside me, in my eles.
And go with me;
To sit beside me in my class
And catch the things I do not see.
To probe the depths I cannot nui!
To probe the depths I cannot plump
Or speak for me when I am dumb.
The best of schools simply hum
And look at things with me;
To see to walk and walk on me;
I want some one to work and play, To sing and dance,
Without a chum.
I want some one to understand And humor me,
To eat or walk or ride, or lounge Up in one's room, or out beneath tree
Wait not a moment, my predest ined Chum.
Who may these yearning lines con
A breath of Kansas air,
Or had great gifts to share:
And cheer me up When I am sick or blue
And think that I'm the finest thing That ever drew
Or had great gifts to share;
Will you be It, or you, or you.
I'll be the best of chums to you. We'll make a team and pull together And we'll climb
The best of schools is simply bum Without the flower-and-fruitage sum
The whole big world shall surely see What can be done by You-and-Me.
Or just the one right after you.
I'll be the best of chums to you.—
We'll make a team and pull together
On Other Hills
An Oread far more sublime Than anybody ever dreamed at old K. U.
Unusual interest in inter-class athletics is being displayed by the juniors and seniors at the University of Michigan. Contests between the two lower classes are common but this year as many upperclass men as freshmen and sophomores are coming out.
The freshmen at Columbia University who are entering into college activities are to be distinguished by an activity button worn on the lapel. The buttons are to be awarded for athletic and non-athletic activities.
The Columbia Spectator says the sophomores will thus be able to pick out the inactive freshmen on whom they will concentrate their hazing.
The freshman at McGill University, Montreal, are warned, "that they are not so far developed as to be permitted to wear those marks of man's estate, a mountaine and bowler hat. Neither may they be permitted to eat food, drink milk or silk or靴 anything stronger than gum." They also must tip their hats when passing men and always address them as Mr. ___.
