The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at the university to go further than merely printing the news and attending the annual awards, to play no favoriter; to be clean; to be cheerful; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

RETAIN THE CUSTOM
As April 1 approaches it becomes evident that opinion among the upper-classmen and many freshmen is that freshmen caps should be worn by the first year men. Many freshmen will wear the caps voluntarily, if others of their kind adopt the adornment.
Fraternities, perhaps through the Panlennics, will no doubt require that their freshmen wear the caps. It has been intimated that the Red Vigils, who by efficient night work last spring enforced the cap tradition to a limited degree, will be at work again this year. The old custom of paddling in public those freshmen who do not wear the caps, however, is prohibited in a ruling of the University Senate.
A few figures concerning endorsement of the cap tradition, compiled at the time the Senate passed this prohibitory measure, will show that even at that time student opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of enforcing the tradition by paddling.
From a total vote of 800 among the students of the University, only forty-eight voted against the tradition of wearing caps; 682 voted for paddling as a means of enforcement; and 118 voted for some other method of punishment.
In the freshman class, opinion favored the tradition and its enforcement by paddling. From a total freshman vote of 230, only 27 voted against the caps; 173 voted for paddling; and only 57 voted for some other method.
These figures are taken from a poll made by the Daily Kansan March 30,1917. Four days later, April 4, the Senate abolished the practice of paddling.
This decision proved a death blow to the cap tradition. Since that time freshmen have worn caps only at random, largely due to this ruling and partly due to the war. In the death of this custom the University of Kansas has lost an old established practice and has been weakened in spirit.
The Senate decision is there; it is law. But to do the thing deemed right by nearly all students and to revive the old tradition, the decision must be changed or some other effective means of enforcement devised.
The student body this year is determined to see the cap custom retained. Freshmen who are wise will buy their caps early.
IMPROVING APPEARANCES
The picturesque old ruins, once old North College, which crown the original Mount Oread are the cause of much curiosity on the part of strangers and no doubt lend an atmosphere of quaintness to the University; likewise the unpainted barracks along Mississippi Street and near Marvin Hall suggest the military activities. But they are not assets in making a campus beautiful.
Exactly a year ago it was expected that the dismantled walls of North College would be pushed over within a week. They are still standing or partly standing today, however, and will likely remain so for a long time
With the end of the war and the demobilization of the S. A. T. C., it was announced that he unsightly barracks would be razed within a short time. They, too, will probably stand indefinitely.
Before the war a systematic plan was adopted for improving the appearance of the campus. Mount Oread is ideal for the work of the landscape gardener. But, the beautification of the campus is apparently be neglected. The driveways and streets are rough and full of pits to the extent of being nearly impassable. The drives are also badly in need of curbs. In addition the beauty of the campus is marred by the rows of ugly barracks and the half-razed walls of old North College.
With the coming of spring it is to be hoped that the original plan of improving the appearance of the campus is continued. Roads should be repaired, curbs built, and the buildings billed for destruction razed.
It is not the high grades that make university life worth while; it is the satisfaction in knowing that these grades were the result of study and sacrifice.
As aviation develops, it is probable that universities will have to give courses in air navigation laws before long.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ENTRANCE
TESTS
Columbia College, which has taken the heir step in giving psychological instead of entrance examinations o those who are entering, has shown o American colleges the path toward modern ideals of education.
"America, for quite a period before the war, had relations with Germany which were similar to an episode which occurred in Frozen Dog," remarked Senator Lodge the other day.
The amount of facts and knowledge that a student hapts to retain in his head do not furnish criteria upon which his future learning may be based. The many new conditions and surroundings with which the student is faced, have an infinite effect upon his college career. If he is of the right "stuff" he will be able to make use of his new environment and so get the most out of his college life. And the only way to find out if he is capable is through psychological tests, and not the old-fashioned entrance examinations. —Daily Illini.
"Seems a dentist strayed into town and one of his coustomers was Bronco Bill, a gunman.
"Yes, without the gas, it will be quite painful,' admitted the dentist.
"'Then,' said Bill, 'for your sake, maybe I'd better take gas.'"—Los Angeles Times.
"Will you take gas to have the tooth pulled?" asked the dentist.
"Will it hurt if I don't?' demandea Bill.
Four thousand university students, both men and women, will test their mental alertness in the army tests to be given on the campus—Daily Illint.
