Majority of Students Against Indiscriminate Paddling Of Freshmen
To avert a possible clash between University authorities and the student body that might result from an attempt of the Disciplinary Committee to punish students who took part in the hazing of Raymond P. Henae Tuesday, the University's President appointed a committee of five students to appear before an adjourned meeting of that body to state the views of the students.
John Monteith, Frank Terrill, Howard Fleeson, George A. Montgomery and Rudolph Uhrlaub, members of the student committee, made it plain that the students would insist on preservation of the cap tradition. They made it plain, also, that the majority of students, including better, longer, haircuts, that indie, imminent padding of first year men who wear their caps, and against unauthorized rallies and other needless disturbances at the University.
WOULD HALT DISCIPLINARY JOOB
The student committee asked that the Disciplinary Committee, which had been instructed to take action against students participating in the hazing postpone all action until students and faculty members must work out a solution to the problem.
The Senate then voted to put the matter in the hands of Chancellor Strong who told the Senate he would ask the Disciplinary Committee to drop action on the matter, and would appoint a committee composed of faculty members and students to recommend what should be bone.

FAVORS. STUDENT GOVERNMENT
FAVORS STUDENT GOVERNMENT
In announcing the committee, Chancellor Strong said he would recommend the Senate adopt a ruling embodying the recommendations of this committee.
Not as many faculty members as student members were appointed on the committee. Chancellor Strong and his colleagues later recommended the committee later if it seemed wise.
Chancellor Strong said he would be willing to turn over the matter of student government to the students themselves if the students could give assurance they would enforce discipline.
The matter of student discipline was turned over to the students several years ago, but the plan later included having them charge their friends charged with infraction of the rules. Four years ago the president of the Men's Student Council appeared before the chancellor and two other officials before the decision be taken back by the Senate.
Last year the Student Interes Committee was formed, composed of five members of the Men' Student Council, five members of the Women's Student Government Association, and ten faculty members, to advise the Senate regarding government in all its problems. This committee should educate students about responsible student troubles and the faculty felt that the student governing bodies should have some power in regulating student affairs.

The second floor of the library was no crowded place, even if few, but in the first three, were compelled to leave. Whether there are an unusual number of students taking history and economics, or whether they come to the library to find a quiet place to study, is a question, but if the present inflicted of students continues, the rooming problem will not be the only one bothering University authorities.

Kansan At 9 Years Weighs 72 Tons
Did it ever occur to you what a volume of paper a newspaper uses in the course of a year? The Daily Kananis is only a four page paper in but a year the Kananis press put out a weekly release. Westfall of the back office has been on the Kananis for nine years, and during that time he has used seventy-two tons of paper. There are twenty thousand sheets to a ton so if Dad Kananis received a dollar for the money he received he would be worth $14,400.
Each sheet of the Kansan is forty-two inches long, and if all the Kansans that "Dad" has printed were oiled end to end, he could walk from awrence to Washington, D. C. on university Daily Kansans.

(United Drawe)
Comiskey Park, Chicago, Oct. 9. The Gincinati Reds won the championship of the world here today, by a score of 10 to 5 by terrific hitting which drove the Sox pitchers to the showers and badly mauled a 3d one. The Redskins had a terrific safety drives off Williams spelled the downfall of the little southpaw for the 3d time in the Series and he was forced to give way to Bill James. Four runs gathered from 5 hits, a walk, and a stolen base came in that day.
Grob hit James for a single in the 2d and Roussey drove him homo with a double. Kopr's double and Neale's single made a run in the third. The sixth with three hits aided by a walk with Kopr to the Sox meant another trio of runs.
The Sox fought desperately and never quit. Inning after inning they attacked Eller. They passed up many chances however in the first two innings and their failure to come thru then lost them a chance to win the game when their alighters finally got into action.
With Liebold on 3d and E. Collins on second as the result of two hits we Wearon, Jackson, and Felich failed dianly and two possible runs were left on the bags. James and Liebold fell, down in the 2d when a similar opportunity came up. From then to the 9th Ellor was master.
After Liebiel had fired out the Sox sluggers suddenly got their sights set for Eller and opened a belated set tack. Wave doubled, Jackson singled and Gandil triplied in quick succession. These drives with an error by Eddie Rousch sent four flies from the last chance at bat. Murphy batting for Wilkinson was hit and Rousch then saved the situation by one of the most marvelous catches ever seen in a world's series. Liebelt saw a screaming drive toward the stands in right center. "Tearing after it at top speed Rousch dived head first, speared the grass and rushed the grass and rolled over and over. This broke a possible ooze rally and the end came quickly.
It was do or die for both the ball clubs when White Sox met the Reds here today in the eighth game of the world's series.
Joe Jackson in the third got the only home run of the series. It was a tremendous high fly to the right field stands.
After coming from behind when even their staunchest supporters had abandoned hope, the Sox were face to face with their big opportunity. They must win today or see their hopes go for naught. On the other hand, today's game was also the crisis for the Reds.
The Sox, who slipped away to Cincinnati unhonored three days ago, apparently a beaten crew, were acclaimed to the echo when they appeared on the field at 12:50. The cheering of the Sox had begun batting practice.
CHICAGO ACCLAIM SOX
Weather conditions today were the worst the athletes have been called on to face in the series. Though a stiff wind had blown away the threatening rain clouds, it was sweeping the dust from center field, and was turning high-ball bats off of their normal course. The sun, however, was warm.
A half hour before the bell rang both the bleachers and the pavilion were packed. The standing room set up was arranged, and grand stand were filling slowly.

NIGHT RAIDS BARRED BY STUDENT COUNCIL
Men Who Disturb Rooming Houses are to Be Punished
Students Leaving University
Council Hears 5 or 6 Undergraduates Have Gone Home Because of Paddling
Because of numerous complaints from citizens of Lawrence and students of the University the Men's Student Council at regular meeting Wednesday night in Fraser Hall took action against a group of students who have been disturbing the peace of freshmen in their rooming houses late at night. It is reported that this group of men has been entering rooms with loudspeakers, cameras, or otherwise disturbing the peace of rooming houses late at night.
To stop this promiscuous paddling and hauling the Men's Student Council passed the following ruling, which permitted the freshman to cap tradition.
"The Men's Student Council is opposed to all promiscuous paddling and hazing off the campus in rooming house districts at night, and that the Men's Student Council will deal with the offenders in any way it sees fit, as necessary, recommended for punishment to the Disciplinary Committee."
The members of the council feel that the students who have been participating in this kind of work should stop all such noise and hazing because it has been reported by students and faculty members that from five to six freshmen with withdrawn from the University simply because they are intimidated by the students who have so caused these disturbances.
In one particular case it was said at the council meeting, a freshman was so frightened that he went to sleep the remainder of the night.
The Men's Student Council and the cheerleaders promise plenty of rallies for the students, which will not interfere with the community.
