THE LESSON OF DEFEAT.
In the defeat of the base ball club last spring in the Triangular League, there is a lesson and a warning. That lesson and warning is, that to be successful in athletics, University politics and fraternities, schemes must be eradicated from the management of the athletic board.
Last fall a political combination hatched in a dark lantern caucus controlled the meeting and elected the officers. Whether the management last year of athletic interests was wise or not is a matter of opinion, but at all events if there continues to be political schemes in the election of athletic officers. University students will blush as often as they wear the crimson.
The members of the athletic board should be conservative men and a large portion of them should be professors. If fraternities are to be considered at all in the apportionment of offices they should be given representatives according to they have men in the various athletic interests. At all events no man should be chosen because he is a political fixer or because he is a good fellow. The frats and barbe should certainly be willing to bury the hatchet this year and vanish politics from the athletic board.
WHY IS IT that a student is so glad to get back to Lawrence in the fall, when with a feeling of utmost relief, he left in the spring? Why? Because Lawrence is an deal student town; because her people are so kind, so generous and hospitable; so long have they harbored him beneath their roof and treated him with kindness that it has become a second nature to them, a nabit, to do so. There is not a better town in this state or any other, where a student's welfare is looked after more and better, and it is just this spirit of hospitality which is aiding the professors on the hill to build up one of the grandest and greatest institutions in the west.
A NEW student—yes, you can recognize him at the first glance. Aimlessly and with a look of despair he wanders through the halls in search of,—what not? To look at him you would think he had lost his best and only friend. What are the questions he asks of the older students? My! What doesn't he ask? Where is room No. 10? Can you tell me where to find Professor——? What hour does my class recite, where is the chemistry building? Say, is Professor James on the hill? and a whole host of other questions too numerous to mention, furnishes an mexhaustive supply of ammunition to bombard the student, grown old and hardened to the core in the experience of university life.
To the new students,the Courier extends the greeting and hearty welcome of the University. May this year, so propitiously opened, be an era of success and good feeling.

FOOT BALL.
Although the University has hardly opened, yet athletics are already becoming predominant. Among both old and new students foot ball is the main topic of conversation,and the "man on-the team last year," with his gold triangular medal, is indeed an object of envy.
IT is gratifying to learn that steps have been taken to increase the dignity, and impress upon the minds of the students the great importance attached to the selection and election of officers for the Athletic association and lecture bureau. Formerly these elections were conducted in a manner that did not meet with the approval of the serious thinking and fair minded students. Here after, however, there will be two separate gatherings of the students called during the year by the Chancellor for the purpose of electing the men most fit to fill the important offices of both the Athletic association and Lecture bureau. It is the chancellor's intention, not to preside at these meetings but to make himself conspicuously present and thereby manifest to the students his feelings in regard to this very important matter. None who have formerly attended K. S. U. will for a moment doubt the great importance attached to the election of officers to fill the positions of responsibility offered by both associations. It is with a feeling of satisfaction that the Courier is able to cronicle this new move on
This year our chances of victory on the foot ball field are exceedinggood. Not only will about all of the old players be back this fall, but a fine athletic field is already in shape and a coach is to be secured as soon as the season fairly open. Yes, from all indications the Kansas State University will have a foot ball club this year of which she may be proud, and to be envied indeed is that man who is se fortunate as to be on the team.
the part of the chancellor which, it is hoped will do away with those principles of partyism heretofore practiced, and usher in to University politics a feeling of liberality, and common sense which will tend ever, to place the proper man in a position of responsibility which he is fitted to fill, and that, ably.
It is being whispered about that another literary society is to be organized. This is proper; but it is to be hoped that they who are at the head of the movement will not be so small and narrow minded as to deny admittance to any class of students. This feeling of clanishness will always be a detriment wherever practiced, and especially in a literary society, and if the history of literary societies at the Kanas University is perused it will be found that just this spirit has been the cause of no little trouble. Gentlemen, open the doors to all who will do the required work.
NEVER before in the history of the Kansas Stata University, have affairs been so indicative of a successful year. Seven hundred and fifty students are now enrolled and every day the enrollment list increases. Not only is the freshman class unusually large,but the higher classes are constantly receiving new members. Thus most certainly is the wisdom of the faculty shown in the abolition of the preparatory department.
Political Clubs.
Last year there was formed a league of college republican clubs, in which the leading schools of the country were represented. An effort was made to have one organization in K. S. U.but unfortunately the scheme fell through. The republican students should take hold of the matter at once in order that they can enter the national league and have a delegate at the national league meeting in Detroit the latter part of this month.
While speaking of a republican club the thought occurs that it would not be a bad plan to have a democratic club also, in order that the University students can expect enough influence on local politics to receive fair treatment at the hands of the city officials. A mayor should be elected who would see to it that approaches to the University are improved, and a street commissioner appointed who will treat the students fairly and impartially. The students can help the University and themselves if they will only organize.
