COMMUNICATIONS.
Inside history is always well received by readers of current newspapers. Many students expressed surprise because John A. Rush, nice Mushrush, presided at the republican meeting last night. A little "inside history" will reveal methods adopted to secure this great honor, which compared to fair methods, show a deprivity hardly excusable in a University student. Mr. Rush is a cold, selfish creature whose greatest ambition is to preside at meetings. He will preside at any kind of a meeting except a prayer meeting.
The central committee had an interest in the meeting, masmuch as they put up $200 of the $250 required to hire a hall, etc., etc. The secretary of this committee protested and stated that some man of prominence should be selected. But President Rush released his immensed, all-powerful gall, and shutting off de bate, passed on to the next order of business. The motion as originally presented provided that a committee of three from the club should confer with the central committee, and select a chairman, but President Rush put the motion in such a way that it authorized the committee only to inform the central committee that he (Rush) had been selected. Thus endeth the first chapter.
cabinet.
Rush pulled the wires, worked night and day, and finally when, Saturday night, at the meeting of the republican club, the matter of a chairman for the Ingalls meeting came up. John gently reminded the club that the president, (meaning himself), should preside. The club of course said yes. 8.
NO TIN HORN.
Rock-chalk! Jay-hawk! K. U..! What a world of enthusiasm can be thrown into those few spirited words! Where is there a university or a school in the whole United States which has a "yell" to compare with this? Such clearness, such intelligible words, such a representation of salient characteristics of the state, as cannot be found in the whole list of the other colleges. We all recognize this fact and love the cheer and what it represents all the more. Our friends recognize it, strangers remark about it, children play with it, no Kansas household is complete without it. Realizing its beauty, and importance, are we willing to lose it and thus consent to take a back seat among our sister colleges? In meeting a body of students from another town, how did their school fall in our estimation when we discovered that they were without an established chaser. It seems strange that our older boys, knowing by experience what a University "yell" is, should be so careless in keeping it up. The advent of the tin horn is to be deplored. There is a something in our yell which is peculiarly of the University and should not be sacrificed to the meaningless bleating of a tin horn. Those words coming from a hundred throats will do more to work up an enthusiasm than an hour's hard blowing on a piece of tin. Monday evening at the depot and at the subsequent celebration of the first victory of the season, conspicuousness was lent to the cheer by its absence. Much better had we consented to let the horns rest a few minutes and show the bewildered passengers that a school existed at this place. Then they would have had something to think of after leaving here.
Now then, if you realize this, and I know that you do, why not make up your minds to start out this fall by dropping this baby practice, and sticking by what is characteristic of our University and not of street gamin. Will.

The authorities should become aware of the fact that the city limit is not at the foot of the hill but at the campus wall. Repair the walks, or rather let an ordinance be passed to displace the wrecks with flagstones
The last place in town which the street cleaners reach after a rain is the crossing at the foot of the hill. It is not unusual for a lady student, holding her skirts out of the mud, to lose a rubber on the street crossing. How much longer is this sleepiness on the part of the city to continue?
Rhetoricals will not be inflicted on the Juniors and Seniors next year. No change, however, can be made this year. What, then, is the use of this, pretended conflict? Courteous petitions to the regents for a change as soon as possible would be more effective.
A certain freshman answered "present" for five absent members in a class last week. When the missing ones were called upon to recite, things became tangled up. The professor went home and read a psychological treatise on hallucinations and now fancies he can hear the word "present" at almost any time.
In the ordinary course of nature, years will soon take Chevalier de Kontski, now upward of seventy, from among us. But until death takes us younger than he, we who heard his recital at Music Hall the other evening, the memory of his sweet music can not die. Would that death might be propitiated and the grand old man's life spared many years longer to us.
Any story about the strange things seen and the wonderful feats accomplished in the west is received with credence. The truth of bear stories and of exciting expeditions in the jungles of the great divide is easily enforced by a 184-pound foot-ball player. Don't dispute it. A team opening the campaign by a record of 20 to 6 against a city of a quarter million people can do anything.
