The refusal of Judge Green to again accept again the presidency of the athletic association makes the editor think of "Curtew Must Not Ring To-night." Judge Green must not refuse this time. We all need him. He would be elected with out a doubt. The mention of an opponent to Dean Green would be almost an absurdity.
Some "kicks" have been made that people didn't get their papers. The Kansan hereby gives notice that you have not handed in your address this year. no matter who you are, we are not responsible for your not getting the paper. Hand in your street number, full name and town and we will see that the paper is delivered at once.
It cannot be denied that the Sophomores this year have some exceptional leaders, or at least posses some exceptional qualifications in the art of college warfare. They are the first second year men for many years that have have done such tying of the Freshmen and displayed such clever tactics. In taking the Freshman out two miles and more south of town, showed that they were right in the game from the start.
Subscriptions are not coming in for the Kansas anything like as fast as was expected. In fact the way some of the people on hill are paying their subscriptions would drive any editor to to the asylum for the feeble minded and the business manager to desperation.
We believe that you want to see a paper and that all on the hill want to see a good paper. The first requisit to make a good paper is your support. Perhaps the Kansan is not run to suit the majority of our followers. One thing is certain and that is that the Kansan is getting all of the news on the hill now and in advance of the local papers. The Kansan's first aim is to give the news in cleau, good English, and render it unbiased.
One probable reason for the delay in subscribing is the fact that there has been so much to occupy the minds of many. One thing is certain no matter what else occurs, that is, if you do not support the paper it will not last always. There should be enough subscriptions to pay for the paper and be independent of advertisers. Then we could give you all of the news to-gether and bunch the local advertisements and the display advertisements so as to make the paper suit some of the readers better and it would be better too.
You get two papers a week for one dollar and there is not a student in the University that cannot afford it. The students are not alone, either, and a few dollars from some faculty members would be a most agreeable find just at present. It costs twice as much to issue a paper twice a week as once a week and if you expect us to give you a good paper, you absolutely must subscribe to make it possible. With a big subscription list, we can and will gladly will give you a paper twice a week like to buy's but otherwise it is impossible.
Improvement is the order of the age. If you don't push, you get pushed. Progress is the successful man's friend. We will progress and push improvement in the Kansan with your united support. We will be at the Kansan desk in the hall, after chapel every day until we get an office in the Library building, and our purpose at the desk is to find as many dollars as possible, get your addresses and listen to all objections you care to raise.
All students eat and drink and grow merry at Vic's.
We Promise to Show You as Fine a Line of Shoes as You Ever Saw.
We take especial pride in our Shoe Department, and there is no part of our business that receives more careful attention. We have shoes that you will honestly believe are worth a dollar a pair more than we ask
We confine our lines to shoes for men and boys and you can't get as good value for the money anywhere else.
