THE MATTER OF A DORMI TORY.
The movement started by certain members of the alumni in the city to provide for a small dormitory for the girls at the University, ought to be encouraged. There has been considerable discussion as to the advisability of securing a house that will accommodate no more than thirty girls and making it subject to the rules that are supposed to govern a dormitory under University direction. It has been suggested that because of the small number of girls that will be accommodated, there is sure to arise a clique or small social set that will in no way contribute for a growing democratic University spirit.
If the dormitory that is being planned will generate a social caste or lead to the establishment of a social strata, the movement has no merit. But if the University is made to have authority over the house and is allowed to exercise a supervision such as it would use over dormitories set up by the state, there is no reason to fear for any bad results. If the ladies who are interested in the scheme can prove to the people of Kansas that a small dormitory is a good thing for the University, probably when the Legislature meets again to consider our needs they will be induced
to provide for the thing that is bound to come sooner or later.
And the merry patter of, the paddle goes on. This week the men of the freshman class are discovering that life at K. U. is not a bed of roses and that the road to erudition is blocked by husky upperclassmen who insist upon the wearing of abbreviated headgear or the painful alternative of being paddled. Although this may seem to be rather harsh treatment for those who are so young, the good derived more than offsets the inconvenience that the freshmen suffer. The wearing of caps is demanded by the Student Council and as soon as we commence to respect every ruling of that body, just then will it be a dominant force in University affairs. The freshmen who object to wearing the caps deserve to be paddled. But in several instances it seems that the upper classes have been too vigorous in their use of the shingle. There should be some element of restraint exercised by both of the parties concerned.
The Hutchinson News thinks the Lawrence Journal-World's campaign for a bath tub in every house will be viewed with alarm by all friends of "boys with the bark on."
Baldwin, the seat of Baker University, may take first place in Kansas in point of godliness, but Lawrence is making a strong bid for second place as the champion of cleanliness. The Lawrence Journal-World has started a campaign for a bath tub in every dwelling, and the University has established a fellowship in soap-making.

Journalism at Missouri.
The University of Missouri has adopted new requirements for admission into the school. Two years' of college work are required with courses in physical and biological science, ancient and modern language, history, logic, psychology and political science. The new requirements are higher than those of any other school in the United States, and becomes effective in September, 1911. The school, like that of Michigan, offers the professional degree of Bachelor of Science. Before a degree is offered seventy-two hours must be finished in the School of Journalism.

KICKS.
To the Kansan:
In view of the fact that so many of the freshmen, particularly the engineers, are undergoing extreme punishment and humiliation at the hands of the upper-classmen, I wish to say a few words through your columns regarding the injustice of this order and treatment. One of the prime objects of the Student Council is supposed to be that of offering protection to the oppressed and unprotected members of the student body, and to legislate for their benefit. It has undoubtedly done away with a great deal of that barbaric horse-play which served no purpose other than that of amusing a few idle upper-classmen, but the fact that it still requires the freshman to wear the hideous and unhealthy freshman cap, is not in keeping with its purpose and end.
ONE OF THEM.
These caps afford no protection from the sun and inclement weather, and may be the cause of some irreparable injury in the form of weak eyes, pneumonia, bad colds, etc. The sudden change from the heavy winter cap or hat, is extremely dangerous to the freshman's health. An order like this has absolutely no excuse for being. It is foolish, insensible, and is not in keeping with the common sense ordinarily supposed to be possessed by an organization like the Student Council.
