THE Kansas College Press Association will hold its annual meeting and banquet in Topeka, February 22. '95. This is an association of college editors fashioned after the State Editorial Association and we feel that ere long it will be of great benefit to us in college work The STUDENTS JOURNAL representative discusses "the relation of the college paper to college politics."
We are sorry that we were unable to be present at the last seminary meeting and therefore did not hear Prof. Blackmar's diagnosis of college politics and politicians, but from what we can hear his remarks were interesting and to the point. We think the University council should pass some definite rule prohibiting the participation in politics, athletic and Glee club trips by those who have not made a certain average in their studies. Let such a rule be passed and then rigidly enforced and K U. will be relieved of the blighting influence of the Professional in these lines. Something we are sadly in need of.
NEARLY all of the college papers are now giving much space to anti-spring poetry. The STUDENTS JOURNAL hesitates about inflicting any thing of the sort on its readers, but if you have something "of beauty and a joy forever" along this line send it in and make your name immortal.
We are sorry the students did not turn out more generally to hear Dr. Curry of Boston, Monday afternoon. His address on "Oratory and Public Speaking" was something every student should have heard. Dr. Curry showed that everyone be he Doctor, Merchant, Lawyer or Minister, has a supreme need for the Art of speaking. Coming to us as one who built up the oratorical and debating ability of old Harvard after it had fallen into seeming decay. He plead for public speaking clubs of whatever kind; for more discussion of the earnest, zealous and intelligent sort in the classroom. Had the entire student body heard him we feel sure that several new literary or debating societies would have graced K. U.
