THEF STUDENTS JOURNAL.
3
It is to be regretted that the council have not as yet taken any action looking to the reinstatement of the students who were recently suspended for their action at the Senior party. We believe that the sentiment of the school was voiced by the Senior class petition and think it should have met with more consideration on the part of the faculty. We agree with and commend the purpose of the faculty to put down all the antique barbarisms connected with affairs of this kind, but it is certainly not justice to suspend, at least for so long a time, persons for complicity in affairs which have had at least the tacit consent of the faculty in the past. Indeed if we are not misinformed no action at all was taken on the episodes connected with the class parties last year and on May day little or no effort was made to hold the classes. Certainly if the photographs are any index, more brutal ruffianism could not have been indulged in. We are unable to see why, if the faculty wished to make a change they did not pass and publish some definite rule and then enforce it to the letter Had such a rule been in existence those who disobeyed it could not have complained with any punishment, however severe. We hope the faculty will at once take definite and favorable action on the Senior petition.
The K. U. Lawyer.
The students of the Kansas University law school last night perfected plans for the publication of a bi-weekly law journal to be called the "Kansas University Lawyer." The paper will be edited by Mr Galen Nichols, of Topeka. Mr William Winters, of Lecompton, and Mr. John Games, of Baldwin, will be associates. The business management is in the hands of W. H. H Piatt. The paper will be purely a law journal and will be patterned after the best publications of the kind in eastern colleges.-Topeka Capital.

The liberality of Kansas with her State University but followed the Kansas precedent in giving education and possible encouragement. Six years ago the Moody bill insured the Kansas Universlty of $75,000 a year for current expenses. Since that time the University has doubled its attendance. This year $100,000 a year was granted. Kansas has the right idea about schools. There never was a Kansas legislator who lived politically after making a speech attacking public education and liberal appropriations for higher institutions of learning. Missouri will do well to follow the Kansas lead. A state that is known as the friend of books and learning, as the champion of progress and enterprise, can laugh at drouths, snap its fingers at cranks, and march on with the band wagon. —Kansas City Star.
