UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

Pickens, Dell R. U., d.f. and 66
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in an educational manner, to go farther than merely printing the news by standing for the university, to play no favorites; to be clean, to be cheerful to be charitable; to be curious to serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

WHY NOT INTER-SCHOOL
DEBATES?
With the coming of the debate be tween the Laws and the Engineers comes also a chance to develop the forensic art into a benefit of no small dimension.
Outlined briefly, the contemplated plan means to take this first inter-school debate as the first of many others. It means to get, in some way, teams from the School of Medicine, School of Pharmacy, and the College, as well as the representatives from the School of Law and School of Engineering. In this way, each separate school would furnish a debating team, probably using the regular try-out system to obtain them.
To what extent this scheme will develop, is of course, vague. But the possibilities are very great. Perhaps the biggest result of the working out of the plan would be a revival of the old debating spirit that K. U. has apparently lost or else abandoned for the time being. There is no better way to learn how to become interested and support debating, than to support a team representing your particular division of the University. After a preliminary interest in the argument exhibited in the inter-school debates, it is only natural that the interest of the students would be greater regarding the welfare of the teams representing the University itself. It is sure that students will not be convinced of the practical good received from debating simply by literary outbursts on the matter. They must be shown practically and literally. The inter-school debating is the method to use.
USE YOUR COLLEGE PAPER
Varying opinions arise from day to day over events affecting University life. Bright ideas crop out among every group of people and especially they pop up suddenly from a large number of students who are all bound together by common interests. The ideas of a few come to the surface and are given context, but the greater part of these witty, snappy real things are buried and do not find a larger audience than a small group.
The University Daily Kansan is a publication for the students of the college. It has been trying to represent the best interests of every man or woman on the hill. It holds open every day a space on the editorial page Campus Opinion. It invites you to contribute to this column.
The Kansan is your paper. It invites criticisms, suggestions, and ideas from every student. Make use of your paper.
The approach of the season when all freshmen are to wear their distinctive freshman caps has once more brought up the question of the best method that can be used for enforcing the tradition. While the almost unanimous opinion of students and faculty also is that the first year men should wear the caps, it should be made clear that no violation of University rules is to be considered.
The seriousness of the offense of breaking any rules in regard to physical hazing is one of the many important matters that have been made clear in recent years.
In October, 1909, the University Board of Regents passed a ruling that no hazing was to be permitted in the University. In making the regulation they emphatically stated that such actions would no longer be allowed in the institution. The ruling was made after several years of more or less severe hazing and it was followed by the suspension of two students.
Any supplemental rules made by the University authorities are based on the action of the board and the University must follow the demands of 'the higher authority.
Paddling and blanketing as methods of enforcing the observation of the tradition, under the present rule of the Board of Administration, is not to be considered, and if such a method is used the men who assist in it are liable to severe punishment under the ruling of the Board.
The freshman cap tradition is one that should be observed. In the minds of many it is unfortunate that the old method of paddling was abolished, but the abolition came from the demands of an authority that could not be denied.
Freshmen are urged to wear the caps voluntarily. The Daily Kansan will print the names of slackers in upholding the tradition and it is believed that freshmen who refuse to wear the caps will be marked by public opinion in such a way that their personal prestige and ambition will suffer in consequence.
The tradition is an important one n University affairs, and it is to beoped that some effective and lawful method will be found to enforce it.
DROPPING PENNIES
Don't get angry and froth at the mouth when you are offered three or four of Uncle Sam's copper coins. They can now be used. In fact, you will have to use them tomorrow if you ride the street car. Perhaps the action taken by the street car system will start the first of a series of articles on "The Copper Coin Has Come Into Its Own."
TO "RING OUT" FOR DATES
for Co-Ed Strolls and Motor Rides
Courting by a time clock may be the outcome of a discussion in which 250 deans of women and "upper class advisers" took part at Northwestern University. A co-ed, departing to walk with an admirer, may have to ask for a half hour leave, or a ten minute leave, or a leave of forty-two minutes—depending where she is going.
Deans of Women Advocate Time Clock for Co-Ed Strools and Motor Rides
Motoring and "I," reading to and from theaters were also discussed and timed as to limit of safety, respectability and desirability. The rate of speed, it was said, is to be adjudged according to the distance traveled. Miss Annie Reynolds of the department of education, University of Wisconsin, was a prominent exponent of ringing "in" and ringing "out."
Walking was placed in the following categories.
Lingering in shady wood paths.
Hiking along obscure country roads.
Moonning in silver-hued lanes by light.
Strolling beneath the palms of a ballroom.
Other deans who spoke were Miss Katherine Alinev, DePawu University; Miss Louise Nardin, University of Wisconsin, Miss Florence M. Fitch, Oberlin College, and Miss Grace Greenwood, University of Michigan—Chicago News.

The American Library Association War Service now reports that more than three million books were donated to the soldiers and sailors in the recent campaign. Not only the number but also the high quality of the donations exceeded the librarians expectations. The library thus assembled is one third larger than the Congressional and handsomely lives up to the Association's announced aim: "For every man in service a book in service." Best of all, it permits the library fund to be devoted more to building and maintenance than to the purchase of books. Here is cause for congratulation—but not for ceasing to give. Shortly there will be long casual lists among the three million volumes, whose ranks must receive constant reenforcement from fresh donations. One must however observe certain precautions in his giving; these librarians, like their public colleagues, play the censor. Zola's "L Assumon moi," Daudet's "Sapho," and Maupassant's "Bel-Ami," it appears, are to have no chance to rub the bloom off our soldiers. But if one is so fortunate to as possess a copy of the famous expurgated edition of Felicia Memans's poems, one has no right to withhold it from the "army."—The Dial.

Rhodes Scholarship Now To Be Resumed
Kansas and Fifteen Other States Will Appoint Two Scholars This Year
Appointments to Rhodes Scholarships will be resumed in the United States next October, says a letter from the American secretary of the Rhodes Scholarship trustees to Miss Rhodes Scholarship trustees to Miss chancellor. Appointments to Rhodes Scholarships had been postponed for the duration of the war. Kansas and fifteen other states will be allowed to appoint two students this year. The letter to Miss Moodie reads in part:
"There will be elections in all states and sixteen states which under normal conditions would have appointed scholars both for 1918 and 1919 will be allowed to appoint two scholars this year. These states are Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin. All other states will elect one scholar each.
"The Rhodes will provide for two scholars constantly at Oxford from each state of the Union. Each scholar stays three years and receives a stipend of 300 pounds a year, out of which he pays his tuition fees and expenses exactly as any other student. There are no restrictions as to the subjects which he should study; Rhodes scholars may take any of the various Oxford Honor Scholar, or, if prepared, may work for the Oxford research degrees of B. Litt., B.Ss., B.C. St. or Ph.D. Candidates must be unmarried, between the ages of 19 and 25 and must have completed at least their second year in college. Candidates may try for the appointment either from the state in which they reside or from that in which they have received the major part of their education.
Rhodes will; scholarship, character, interest in outdoor sports, interest in one's fellows and instinct for leadership. Of these qualifications the greatest emphasis is laid on the first two."
"The qualifying examinations which have been required of all candidates for Rhodes Scholarships are now to be abandoned and it will only be necessary for candidates to make formal application indorsed by authorities of their college or university. The selection will be made in the future, as in the past, on the basis of a man's record in school or college, according to the four points outlined in the
Back Up the College.
Doctor Scoville Urges
What will it profit you if you win the world and lose your community, intellectually, economically and morally? This question was the main theme of an address by Dr. Charles Seville, Sunday.
“Let's back up the college and its interests,” said Doctor Scoville. “We haven't had sufficient funds so far, but we are going to have them. The College must answer some of our problems. Civilization will not do it alone.
"We speak of democracy, but as we do so we realize that it took the lives of eight million young men to give it to us?"
"I want to emphasize the importance of having a Y. M. C. A. in rural communities. Give young men and women something to educate them and further their interests, physically, mentally and spiritually.
The streets on the University campus are being repaired with cinders but they will not be paved for some time, according to John M. Shea, keeper of the grounds. The University asked the legislature to grant it enough money to pave the streets from Thirteenth and Oread to the car tracks in front of the gymnasium, and from Thirteenth and Mississippi to the Chemistry Building, but none was granted.
Campus Streets Will Co
Curbs and Cinder Repairs
Before the year is over the roads will have curbing and will be smoothed with rolled cinders, Mr. Shea said.
