KANSAS EDITOR DUCKED WHEN ADVISES FROSH Scribe Consels Freshmen to Retaliate Whed Padded by Upperclasesmen CHOOSES NON-RESISTANCE Youthful Editor Satiries Antag omists and Makes No Change in Editorial Policy Lawrence, Kans. (By New Student Service)-Paul Porter, editor of the Daily Kansas and contributing editor of The New Student, may have read af the Alabama prosecuting attorney wh-i informed his constituents that they might, with the law's protection, defend theniselves from self-appointed vigil antes in whatever vigorous manner they saw fit. However that may be, Porter, in an editorial of advice to the freshmen, gave utterance to this bit of heresy: "The next time a blue-capped fresh ma" resembling an animated sulphur match is paddled by a member of the council, 'K' club, or Sachem, we hope to see him retaliate with the handiest weap on available, invite the gaddler to warm him other than his ocat-tails, and join with his fellow classmen to grab the encroacher by the scruff of the neck and rinse him of his coqceit in the chilly waters of Potter's lake. Then he may be experiencing some knocks worth yel ling and fighting for." Porter's position immediately became as that of a Darwinian who arises in a backwoods Tennessee Methodist church to make a brief for evolution. pus started out for revenge. Porter, The big burly men of the Kansas cam warned that punishment was in store for him, cancelled a journed to Kan sas City, rather than spoil the fun of the guardians of law an order. When taken captive, he adopted a policy of non-resistance, and non-cooperation. refused to take his choice of punish ment, and when ordered to climb out of Potter's Lake, into which he had been thrown, told his inquisitors that having put him in, they might come and take him out if they wished him. A satirical editorial followed in the next issue of The Kansan. The student council president de-' cried the lawlessness and placed the blame for the ducking on a renegade group, composed mainly o f athletes. A student whose letter of protesc against'the earlier editorial made him, ccording to his own view, and acces sory .before the fact, also denounced: the vigiliantes and, cophpared them to the fieshmen who refused tW wear their caps. Potter announced no charge in atti tude toward hazing and promised fur ther editorials attacks on the custom. He declared himself "willing to tak.. punishment which he would advocate for others," the Kansan reported. -_U3C_ Seniors Beat Junior Hockey Team 4 to 0 Winners Score Easy Victory Over Opponents During Heavy Rain Through a drizzling rain that threat ened to become a deluge,, the seniors swept to their final victory in hockey on the Woman's athletic field Wednes day afternoon.
