PROFESSOR BANARD, who discovered the fifth satellite of Jupiter, has been invited by the authorities of the Chicago University to take charge of the department of astronomy.
An exchange discusses briefly the question, "Should actresses marry" and decides in the affirmative, providing they can earn enough money to support a husband.
THE following notice was posted on the bulletin board last Friday. Strayed, an umbrella with the letters branded upon it, W. S. W The Courier has been informed by one of the toot ball team that the same umbrella was seen by him, wandering around aimlessly near Pikes Peak.
SINCE the Chicago University has been establishud a large number of the most prominent institutions have materially increased the salaries of their professors. Ann Arbor has raised the salary of its faculty from three to five hundred per chair. Will the regents of the Kansas University please make a note of this?
NOTHING short of a Yale, Harvard, or Princeton team can score against them—Copinger, in the Denver Sun, speaking about the Denver team. Well; K. S. U. has scored against them and that with ease, but we are a little too modest to claim the honor which the above paragraph would indicate that we should.
PROF. HOPKINS' resignation as manager of the foot ball team took effect last Monday. It is unfortunate that the professor can't find time to look after the affairs of the team. Under his management it has become famous, so much so that the members can with impunity wear a badge bearing the ensign: "Never Defeated," Prof. Hopkins has been a grand success in his management of the team; not only have Iowa, Missouri and Kansas colleges gone down before the victorious crimson, but Colorado has just been added to the list. It is to be hoped that the next manager will be the professor's peer.
Why would it not be well for the officers of the foot ball team to make a date with some eastern team? K. S. U. has so far proven herself worthy of such a peer. We have met and virtually defended all the teams of any note in the west and there is no good reason why we should not look further east for some game or games in the future. This would not only be a good advertisement for the University, but it would bring the east and west in closer relationship. Perhaps we would be beaten, and perhaps not, but even though we were, a great deal could be learned and the University team would be a much stronger and better team for the experience. Why not, then, try to extend our conquests east-ward?
LECTURE BUREAU.
The lecture course offered by the present management of the lecture bureau has been fully appreciated by the students, and as a result, all the tickets offered for sale have been taken by the student body. The present course will cost just twelve hundred and fifty dollars. This, to say the least, is indicative of the fact that the officers of the bureau are desirous of giving an instructive and first class course. James Fisk is the latest addition. The management will soon offer a series of one hundred and twenty-five tickets for lectures only, the price being one dollar and twenty-five cents. By this means those who have not been desirous of buying tickets for the concerts may have the opportunity of hearing five good lectures for a moderate sum Every student should take advantage of this opportunity if he has not bought the other series of tickets. The instruction and benefits to be received are invaluable and one will never miss the exceedingly palpable price paid for the same.
A NEEDS NECESSITY.
The necessity of extending the water mains, or at least the necessity of having water upon the Athletic grounds for the convenience of those who practice daily there, is becoming more and more apparent each day. None feel this want more keenly just now than the foot ball team. To say why this want is felt keenly would be a waste of words. After practice one is compelled to make a detour to his room to prepare his toilet or go to supper be-mattered with dust and drenched with perspiration. This is not doing the members of the team justice.
The Courier does not wish to be misunderstood in the matter, however; it is not the intention to score any one, nor does it think that the officers of the athletic board are entirely responsible for this oversight. However, that does not make the necessity less imperative, of having water upon the grounds. No one will doubt for a moment that it is absolutely necessary and especially one who makes use of the grounds.
The Courier was informed some time ago that a certain gentleman had made an agreement to dig a well for the use of the right-of-way across the field. Why not hurry up this same gentleman? Perhaps when matters are sifted down, some one after all is responsible who is connected officially with the association.
True, a few of these things must come on gradually and we can't very well expect to have all the conveniences without some delay. But to delay getting water upon the field is a mistake. Better delay building a fence; or at least painting it. The foot ball or base ball men can practice whether the grounds are fenced in or not; but if they are compelled to walk a mile and intrude upon one every evening, even at the risk of carrying a few buck shot away, after a while there will be no necessity of athletic grounds and all connected therewith. By all means, the authorities should look after this matter. It will not cost much to have the water main extended and then our foot ball team, feeling that their wants are looked after and especially this very important one, will practice with renewed energy.
A UNIVERSITY BUTTON.
For some time past the idea of adopting a University button has been considered and commented upon by enthusiastics friends of the University. While the consensus of opinion seems to be decidedly in favor of the adoption of some prominent button or emblem, yet so far nothing has been accomplished.
Now in order to bring this matter directly before the students, the best and at any rate the most direct way would be for the athletic association to take the matter in hand. This association is most directly concerned and under their province the adoption of such an emblem most directly falls. It is most sincerely hoped the association will take the matter in hand, for if it once champions it, a University Button is assured.
It matters but little what kind of an emblem is selected; anything appropriate. But that it may be so, the athletic crimson should be made prominent.
With so many famous foot ball games approaching, the need of some such emblem becomes not only apparent, but almost a necessity, and the Courier earnestly hopes that the matter will be pushed at once.
From all accounts, the Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri foot ball teams are in excellent trim and no doubt will give th University team a stronger struggle than last year. This being true, and much being at stake so to speak, steps should be taken to place the team in perfect training. How can this be better accomplished than through the medium of a training club? Of course this would cost some more than a down town restaurant would charge, and at the same time a few of the members could not afford it, but the solution of such a problem is very simple. Each member could pay into the club treasury the amount which his board is costing where he now boards and the athletic association would certainly be willing to pay the balance. To be sure, the first thing to do is to establish the club. Prof. Shepard says it would be an excellent idea to have all the men of the regular eleven, and four or five substitutes board at the same table where they could talk foot ball, discuss points and plays, and by so doing become enthused with the proper spirit, and at the same time get the proper training. This neither would interfere with the work at the University.
CRITICISM.
LATER—The COURIIR has been informed, as we go to press, that such an organization will soon be perfected.

The strong points as well as the weak ones which were most apparent in the recent foot ball game at Denver, might be summarized as follows: The Kansas team showed great ability to break through the opponents rush line and to guard the man sent through, but showed lack of practice in gaining around the ends. The interference on the whole was good but critical times, deficient. Since from ten to twenty-five yards were gained each time the gridiron play was attempted, it marks quite well, the ability to make this play.
The half-backs put up a strong game with no attempt at grand stand playing, but it might well be said, that they were inclined to wait, instead of meeting the ball on the run. The tackling was splendid and deserved applause. Perhaps one of the great faults of the team, and a critical one is a tendency of the center men to play apart, which results in the opponents breaking through the line too often; also the tackles. one at least, has a tendency to fumble the ball and the other seems too lose his head.
The Denver team put up a strong game but were slow, their team work poor, and the tackling of men, through the rush line, likewise. They failed to take advantage of their superior weight, and right here the Courier wishes to correct the erroneous statement that the Kansans were heavier, for they were not. However, the game was well played and without any great errors to speak of in more then passing terms.
