Chancellor Day, of Syracuse University has tabooed all dancing. He says that the announcement of a dance is equivalent to a declaration, on the part of those interested, that they wish to sever their relations with the University.
"Rooters" who went to the Kansas game tell of the poor spirit of K. U. Colorado is not only becoming justly famous for her spirit, but also for her splendidly courteous and even chivalrous treatment which she accords at any and all times to opponents and rivals. Nebraska can learn much from us in this direction. Their attitude before and after the recent game was puerile, unsportsmanlike and "grouchy."—Silver and Gold.
"What will student support and college spirit do?
Possessed in superior quantities in West Point than in Yale this year, it has caused the Army to beat Yale by 11 to 6 last Saturday; lacking in Nebraska before their game with us but manifested strongly at Colorado it helped defeat a team which has many times our number to select from. Dead at Kansas, it forced them to accept a tie score at the hands of a team which felt the students were heartily behind them. Having awakened at Nebraska since defeat by us it is building up there again a team worthy of the institution they represent."- Silver and Gold
Enthusiasm and college spirit at the University of Kansas has not been what it should be. There seems to be too much the idea of letting a few bear the burdens. When it comes to "rooting" there is a noticeable lack of spirit and Kansas has been criticised repeatedly this season. Let's take an unprecedented stride in this department of college life. Enthusiasm is as important for a school as is a good faculty. Let everyone come out to the mass meeting, and let everybody appoint himself, and herself, as a committee of one to "root" next Saturday from the kick off until the referee's whistle blows for the last time in the last half.
Colorado should have no objections to the treatment the Mountaineers received while in the Kansas camp. They were treated as gentlemen and given every privilege that could be asked for and then returned home calling us a bunch of farmers and claiming that the Colorado score was tied by the work of twelve men including the umpire. Now the Colorado paper calls Nebraska "grouchy," Nebraska said about the same regarding the Colorado-Nebraska game as the Coloradoans said regarding the Kansas-Colorado contest. But the circumstances as regards the victory were very different. Colorado got more at the hands of the officials in the Kansas-Colorado game than the visitors deserved, and to return home and "cry over spilled milk" outrays the real existing spirit of the University of Colorado.
The breakdown of the local water supply again Friday and the consequent lack of water upon the hill again raises the question of the need of a large reservoir upon the campus to furnish adequate fire protection.
Had a blaze started Friday, it must needs have proven very destructive, for at the times of such breakdowns the only available water supply at the University is that contained in a much too inadequate storage tank in Fowler shops.
A large reservoir could be made part of the decorative

scheme of the campus, by placing hardy water plants in it for use by the botany classes.
That fire is feared by the University authorities is shown by the fact that the large pumps in the Fowler shops are kept ready for action at any moment. They, by actual test, have been proven capable of throwing a good sized stream of water to the height of the flag pole on Fraser hall. With these pumps and such a reservoir as has been mentioned, no fear of fire losses would be entertained.

Many K. U. Students Earn Their Own Way Through School.
More than 600 students at the University of Kansas are self-supporting, either wholly or in part. Many students earn their expenses while in the University, but the larger number earn their money before entering. The University Y.M.C.A. maintains an employment bureau for the purpose of assisting needy students. So far this year, ninety-one applications for work have been filed, and places have been found for fifty-one men. About 300 applications for work are filed with University authorities every summer. A fund set aside for aiding needy students would be a great boon to many worthy young men and women in Kansas who are unable to avail themselves of the privileges provided so generously by the state. A number of young women earn their expenses while in the University, in the homes of Lawrence. Many of the self-supporting prove to be the best scholars in the University.
