A contest in the fall will be beneficial in many respects; it will prepare students for the more important one to follow, will awaken an interest in the subject and bring money into the coffers of the association. The first part as we have said, is all right, but what follows is just the reverse. It is the greatest piece of shortsightedness that we have seen for some time, in fact it appears to us to be downright stupidity. What we refer to is the clause that says that the student winning the contest in the fall will be barred from entering the contest in the following spring. Who, we wish to enquire would be so foolish as to enter the contest with hopes of winning first place, and then incapacitate himself to enter the immeasurably more important one to follow? If this clause is inserted in the constitution, the contestants in the fall will be composed of a lot of students who know they have no chance in a regular contest and thus embrace this opportunity to get up and "spout." A man that had any oratorical ability whatever would not enter the contest for fear he would win first place; thus this measure would defeat what it is trying to promote. We hope the share holders will have the courage of their convictions in this matter and not incorporate in this organization anything so detrimental as this clause will turn out to be. A Few Questions. VIEWS. As a student of the University I would like to inquire if there are any privileges, any personal rights, that belong to the student which the members of the faculty are required to respect. During the time I have spent at the University as a result of my inquiry and observation I have discovered that all rights and privileges seem to be monopolized by the instructors themselves. Ought not the forms of common civility at least be observed in the relation of the instructor to the student; or are we supposed to be merely "dumb driven cattle," wooden puppets who are required only to obey and endure all the insults and indignities that the caprice and ill-temper of an impertinent instructor may choose to heap upon us? Are the students of the University supposed to be a class of individuals who are unable to take care of themselves without the guidance of a paternal hand? Is it possible that we have not yet advanced beyond the province of the kindergarten school and consequently should be treated as mere children? Or are we young men and women pursuing the same object with one common purpose in view and that a college education? It is the duty of a primary teacher to conform to those rules by which a primary department should be governed, but it is neither proper nor just that the instructors of the Kansas State University nor any other university should resort to succa If this is so, it is, to say the least a very unfortunate and unnatural condition of things. But I am happy to say that this does not apply to the professors in general but to a very limited few and in fact might be restricted to a single individual. I believe in obedience and discipline when confined within the proper limit; but there is a point where passive obedience to supercilious insolence becomes intolerable. Is it not overstepping the limits of class discipline to address a student in language which, if it is not positively insulting, is at least very humiliating? If he finds a mistake asisting from the carelessness or ignorance of the instructor should he be denied the right of calling the instructor's attention to it; or if he has a suggestion to offer to be informed in no very indirect manner to hold his peace or his grade will eternally suffer? These are a few of the things I would like to have answered. puerete system to govern their classes. I believe that the University students are a deserving, bright and intelligent class of young men and women and as such are worthy of their instructor's respect. We should be treated in a manner becoming the dignity of students and not be compelled to tolerate the flings and jibes of a thoughtless teacher who seems to be unacquainted with the first principles of decorum. If this is not sufficiently clear to those concerned I will endeavor the next time to be more explicit by using more direct language. A FRESHMAN. Athletic News. Ball players, tennis players and oarsmen, all eager to get in turn for the spring contests, are watching the weather with an anxious eye. Our ball club this spring will consist of six men of last year's team and three others yet to be chosen. Kinzie will be behind the bat. Sherman in the box while Simmons, Crawford and Hoag will play first base, second base and short respectively, with Smith in the field. This leaves third and two fields vacant. The three men who show the most proficiency in the practice games will be selected to fill these positions. The Sporting Life is out with a new ball guide, their first venture. Its records are not all official. The rules of '90 are but little changed, there being but two of importance; one concerning substitutes and the other concerning base-running. As the rules are now a club may have as many substitutes present as it wishes, instead of two as was the case last year. A runner is not required to run within the three foot limit between home and first base. It does not take an expert to tell that the nine must commence practicing immediately if anything is to be accomplished. The tennis interests of the University will be ably looked after by Several shells will be placed in the river before long for our oarsmen to revel in. Work will be begun in this line as soon as the condition of the weather will permit. Negotiations are still pending with Baker and Washburn in regard to the formation of the Triangular league, but it is almost a settled fact that it will be organized permanently within a few days. Are you thinking of taking a trip? If so. half dozen experienced players. In case of the Triangular league, we will just about have a sinch in tennis. We are all right in regard to tennis and rowing, but need more ball players. Out of our present large number of students we should have twenty good ones. A Few Pointers.
