About the only thing that has developed as a result of the story of the resolutions of the athletic board concerning the actions of the manager of athletics is the fact that a fight seems brewing. No one knows just what the fight is or exactly whom it concerns. Whom it will involve will not be known until something breaks. Under the present officials the athletic situation has always been pretty good. There have been things come up that were not to the interests of harmony, and not to the best interests of the school. We think that the board should consider any radical action at great length; and only make changes, if they think changes are necessary, with the good of the school in view and after mature deliberation.Fights are a poor thing at best, and whatever their outcome, they often do more harm than good.
The chemistry professors have issued an order prohibiting the general dispersal of stories from that department. The reason is that several stories have been so distorted and mixed up that they have lost all semblance of truth or fact. Some of the newspaper reporters have either carelessly or intentionally wandered away from the true facts in the case. This sort of business is humiliating to a chemistry teacher. He does not want his work misrepresented, and he can not be blamed
The twelve-day rest for the football team between the Nebraska and the Missouri games next fall looks good for Kansas—and bad for Missouri. Every little thing like that counts in a hard contest, and Kansas can no longer afford to give Missouri any advantage at the gridiron game.
Played Basket-Ball.
The members of the Ford county club organized a basket-ball team and played several games at Dodge City during the holidays. The scores were as follows: K. U 27, Dodge Tigers; 9; K. U 27, Dodge Tigers 4; K. U 26, Spearville, 6; and K. U 16, Larned 14. The members of the team were Spencer Baird, Lesslie English, Arthur Riney (capt), Harry Snyder and Roy Bainbridge.
Walton Holmes Jr. and Jay Richardson from Kansas City were visitors at the Sig Alph house last Thursday.

ENROLLMENT REFUSED.

KICK COLUMN.
Editor Kansan;
Through the columns of the Kansan I wish to call the attention of the University authorities to the condition of the walks about the campus and also to those leading to the University. It seems that the cleaning of snow from the sidewalks is a custom unheard of in Lawrence. This, however, is no reason why the walks that lead to the University and those about the grounds should not at least be sanded.
Editor of Kansan:
Dear Editor—In behalf of the students of Kansas University I think it quite necessary for someone to state some plain facts concerning the heating of the buildings on the hill and especially the heating of Fraser hall.
Some of the rooms are thoroughly comfortable and no one would have any reason to "kick." were he able to stay in those rooms for all his classes. But perhaps the next room that he is obliged to go to is much overheated and close, making the student uncomfortably warm, even upon removing his wraps. Perhaps the next room that he enters will be cold, so cold in fact, that with his wraps on he is chilly and very apt to take cold.
The rooms at the south end of Fraser hall, the chapel and other rooms on the second and third floors are entirely too cold for the students and several severe colds have already been the result.
The basement of Green hall is usually quite cold, while that of Snow hall is quite overheated. STUDENT
STUDENT.
Editor Kansan :
Where is the college spirit that has heretofore played such a prominent part in the life of every loyal K. U. student? What has become of that splendid enthusiasm which has given our University such wide repute? Are we losing interest in the less serious side of college life?
In considering these questions,
let the student ask himself: "Is it the best thing for our institution, to let this enthusiassm die out?"
All student enterprises play an important part in the perfecting of student life, and without them our University would be greatly weakened, but they can only be made a success through the enthusiastic support of the students body, and it is this spirit of enthusiasm which is apparently lacking at present.
Even "Rock Chalk," which has aroused the envy and admiration of scores of other institutions of learning, lacks the vim that used to make it famous. Let us shake off this letherthy and put some zeal into our work and some volume into our voice. Let us carry more spirit into the Friday morning chapel exercises, and make them as lively and interesting as they used to be.
Let our songs and college yell resound as loudly as in other days when our faithful football team goes out to battle for the glory of K. S. U.. Let us be a loyal, wide-awake, energetic band and keep up the standard and reputation of this, one of the best schools of our country.
ENTHUSIASM.
