THE STUDENTS JOURNAL.
MANAGER Bowersock deserves the hearty congratulations of all admirers of the opera for his services on securing the "Fencing Master." It was certainly an exquisite and charming entertainment and well worthy of the large and enthusiastic support it received from the students.
Why not organize a University Press club, for the purpose of advertising the University and disseminating knowledge concerning its work and wants? Something of this kind would do much towards securing for the University the united support of the people of Kansas besides being of inestimable value to the student members of the club especially to such of them as intend to enter the newspaper field.
THE STUDENTS JOURNAL extends congratulations to her former business manager and stauch friend, Adna G. Clarke, on his election to the Junior Vice Commandership of the Sons of Veterans. The S. of V. certainly could not have found a more able, generous and whole-souled person to fill this office than Adna. K.U. and her students rejoice over Mr. Clarke's election.
A NUMBER of the leading colleges of the land have "Students Assembly" or "Convocation" once or twice a month. Why would not something of the sort be not only profitable but enjoyable here? Comparatively few of the students attend Chapel exercises, so we have little or no change to get acquainted and work up University sentiment and loyalty. We see no reason why the faculty should not try something of this kind.
THE College Press Association had a very pleasant and useful meeting and a highly enjoyable banquet at "The National" in Topeka Friday afternoon and evening. Topics of interest to college newspaper men were discussed and some new methods brought out. While we were unable to be at the meeting we feel that much good was accomplished and believe that this organization will soon come to be of great importance among the colleges. Mr. Myers of the Review was honored by election to Vicepresidency of the Association. The STUDENTS JOURNAL congratulates Mr. Myers and the Review.
THE STUDENTS JOURNAL extends greeting to that noble band of men and women who make up the ranks of the G. A. R. and kindred organizations. We believe the students of K. U. have been helped to a greater appreciation of the majesty of this great republic by your visit. May the life of the Grand Army be long preserved that it may serve to arouse patriotism and keep the young men of America ever alive to her glory and worth.
THE Courier this week suggests that the click might have become subscribers to the JOURNAL but that they never could have had any voice on the staff. This laid down as a general principle is untrue and unjust, but in their particular case perhaps it comes very, very near the mark Every fair minded man now realizes that if he shows energy and ability along this line, as a member of the STUDENTS JOURNAL Company, he will receive his just deserts irrespective as to whether he is barb or frat. Therefore it cannot but be evident to every one that these gentlemen are afraid to stand on their merits. They can only secure representation by means of cliques and combines such as put "Pat" on the police force Indeed did we not understand the futility we might advise that you subscribe for the JOURNAL and save several dollars in assessments levied at "enthusiastic meetings in Phi Gam hall."
AFTER nearly three months of peaceful slumber the Courier has reappeared on the scene of action. Its editors appear before the foot lights of college life with a "bow" a "very low bow." Modestly claiming little for themselves. They resurect that Rip Van Winkle officer known as a "registerer of kicks" and donate both offices and honor to our Beta friend Miller. The STUDENTS JOURNAL congratulates the Sigma Chi-Beta Phi Gam company on securing such an able and gentlemanly staff. While we regret the childishness and petishness manifested by the "Courier people" we extend our sympathy and condolences to the editors and hope that during their sojourn upon the stage (howsoever brief) we may meet as tried, true and loyal sons of K.U.
