W T. PERRY,
The only kick that we have on Pope's article in last week's Students Journal is that he did not consider us of enough importance to use two l's in spelling our name.
Pope has surely missed his calling again. He should seek a position on the staff of a humorous sheet. His article in the Journal would make men who had not laughed for years fairly "burst out" with merriment.
The new University organization known as The Kansas University Jockey club has started with a great deal of dash. We are looking for an advisory board to be appointed by the faculty to supervise these humane events.
The men in power in the new paper scheme saw fit not to allow the amendment which provided that the officers of Editor-in-chief and managing editor should alternate between the fraternity and non-fraternity men. We do not understand why this action should not be a popular one. Surely one hundred and fifty men, who are organized, and capable of supporting a paper of their own, should receive some attention. It seems as though this paper was a move toward the accomplishment of good results, still the policy of the supporters is certainly based against the element that will give them more help and encouragement than the side that the aid.
The articles in the last issue of the Courier concerning Charlie Lease were certainly out of place in a college paper. We feel that we should have nothing to do with the publication of political lies.

THE Editor of the Journal calls the attention of the faculty to the deplorable condition of Yale College in regard to athletics absorbing the intellectual pursuits. He warns us that if we are not careful we will be winning all contests in the athletic line and our intellectual pursuits will be lessened. If the writer of the article realized how hard it is to get our men out to train for even an hour a day he would not find it necessary to lie awake nights and worry about our running crazy over athletics. We are entirely too much the other way. K. S. U. would be far more healthy and vigorous if a few more of the students would go out on McCook field and let their intellects be shaken a little.
A new species of college smartness, or more appropriately college stupidity has appeared among the students. Tuesday morning an effigy clad in a woman's dress with a man's coat and hat, bearing a placard labeled, "I am Jones" was found hung to an electric light wire on Adams street. just outside of the University campus. It was evidently
