A common phrase among some students now is "Politics is hell." There is certainly no doubt about the logical result to the losing side.
A student, possibly a Freshman, went in Registrar Foster's office the other day and wanted to know if that was the lunch room. Mr. Foster's assistants don't appear to be "hash slingers" to the KANSAS staff. But Freshmen are excused, so we are told.
Now is the time when fraternity jewelry salesme get in their work in Lawrence. Read the KANSAN advertisement of fraternity jewelry. There is just one company that valued the business here enough to advertise for it, and they are going to test their "ad." this week.
There is something strange about politics. One side has always got to call the other side a set of thieves and liars and say all kinds of mean things about them. Choose for yourself Tuesday. Progress and improvement are what the loyal Americans clamor for. Put the assertion to test.
Baseball players, members of theVarsity nine, should not be made to pay admission to the football games. It is not right and just to them, and the football men should get a reasonable number of complimentaries also. Men who work on the regular teams of the University, devoting their valuable time for the furthering of athletic interests in the institution an1 upholding the honor of K.
U. in the various sports are deserving of some recognition and a few favors. It is true that the men get some good out of their efforts and some mental comfort of mind but when all is said and done and custom considered we think the regular team members in the University are duly entitled to complimentaries to the different games of the other teams.
The athletic membership should be conducted like Michigan. Give a man a football badge like the big Universities do and let this entitle him to a discount at the gate of all games. Now when the three first games are over many quit because of the present system. A change is needed and it is of vast importance.
Prof. Hopkins deserves much credit for what he has done in getting the Journalism class to its present high standing. He has worked persistently and together with Chancellor Strong has the work in Journalism in the University on a practical basis. When a person finishes the course, as it is now outlined, he should be thoroughly efficient and capable in every degree of filling the best reportorial job on any paper in Kansas.
The Captain of a football team in all of the big Universities is a member ex-officio of the athletic board. That is a mighty good and reasonable thing and there is one side advocating it here now. A Cap tain of either football or base ball team deserves membership at K.U.just as much as at any other University and the students should demand it. When base ball season comes the hard working football players will want admission. They will be justified in demanding it and popular sentiment is vastly back of them too.
The proposed street parade for the entire student body and faculty of the University should meet with success. The faculty is taking a very noticeable interest in the student parade and some of the prominent students

have signified their intention of entering and doing all they can to further the plan. It will be a good advertisement for the University. All of the other schools in and around Lawrence will be represented and there is no reason why the biggest and best of them all should not have the greatest number in line as well as the best in the line. The University people should have the place at the head, too, and it is no more than right that this be given without the least objection. Every fraternity should have a large representation. It will help the University, the faclity and you yourself.
The Athletic election is near. There are good men on both tickets. In recent years it hasn't been so much the man with athletic ability or conservatism that got on the board. There are conservative and capable men this time on both tickets. Don't give your vote because you have some friend who is "grafting" for a certain ticket. Measure the two men in competency to fill the positions on the board. Politics for years has not been what it might be at the University. There should be no corruption here. A good, honest, straightforward, clean fight hurts no one and the man who is defeated in such a fight is just as honorable and as deserving, and frequently more so, than the winner. We believe both sides this time to be sincere in their assertions and we should not doubt their honesty.
Progress and improvement are the order of the age, athletics include 1.
Professor Wileox has spent the past week in St. Louis attending the World's Congress of Art and letters. He will return to resume his work Monday September 26.
