The 11th Tradition
Traditions are rather odd
.thing's. At least around here
they are.
A dictionary of our ac
quaintance allows that the
■word “tradition” implies ideas
or opinions handed down from
one generation to the next ver
. bally. The traditional tradi
tion is, therefore, something
of relatively long standing.
Not so at the University.
And we quote from our own
front page of yesterday that
"Junior Weekend traditions
. begin Tuesday morning with
first punishment” . . . etc.
This is not to say that we
are skeptical of our own late
blooming variety. Our tradi
tions are probably just as tra
ditional as anybody elses. We
bave, however, one rather dis
turbing capacity, that of being
able to turn them on and off
like water or an electric light.
Anyway, for better or worse,
traditions are back with us
again. We have ten of them,
according to the story, rang
ing from the wearing of root
ers lids (which, we suspect,
was devised years ago by an
enterprising officer in the Co
op) to staying off the grass
(directly linked to certain
physical plant personnel) to
wearing the right pair of pants
(possibly sponsored by local
haberdashers though perhaps
the Co-op may have them in
season—we haven’t looked).
All in all. they're as sensible
a group of traditions as any
campus could hope to have.
And, on top of this, we’re
again fortunate to have the
local Rover Boys (Order of O)
acting as policemen. It’s really
great of the fellows to pitch in
like this.
We have often wondered,
however, if their ardor would
not be dimmed if we were to
suggest that years and years
ago there was an eleventh tra
dition. Somehow, with the
new ones coming in the gener
al shifting around, it was for
gotten. However, traditions
are traditions and we feel ob
liged to mention it.
Tradition number 11.
Administration of punish
ment of tradition violators
will be conducted on the basis
of complete equality. For men,
the punisher is obliged to
“trade” hacks with the viola
tor. For women, the punisher
(or ers) must remain in a rigid
stance while the punished
throws not more than one nor
more than two cups (8 ounce)
of water from Fenton pool in
to the face of said punisher
(or ers).

Will need to study before.midterms?”

"All we can do about the world,”
declared Knight, “is find out what
kind of a world it is and live in it
intelligently as we can while trying
it make it better." The task, -he
said, is one of building a better
world while living in the present
one.
“Let’s tell the truth about our
selves,” urged Knght. "Man is a
rational animal—he is the only ir
rational animal, one that loves fic
tion more than truth. Man is a
social animal—yes, he’s a natural
gangster. Man is a natural organ
izer — he organizes some men
against others."
