LAWRENCE, KAN., SAT. FEB. 8, 1902.
The new administration assumes control of the WEEKLY with this issue. The editor desires to thank the student body for the confidence thus reposed in him. It shall be his earnest endeavor to give more substantial evidence of his gratitude in the conduct of the paper during his term of office- May the untiring zeal and loyalty displayed by friends in the recent campaign continue and be applied in a hearty and practical cooperation.
We forego at this juncture any lengthy disquisition of the re'a tion of the student body to their paper. Let us rather at the outset solicit your assistance in the uplifting of our college journalism.
The editor takes the management of this paper with no clearly defined policy in view. His watchword shall be fearlessness and fairness, and his efforts shall center on the development of his idea of a college paper.
The uniform courtesy, kindly suggestion, and gracious assistance of the retiring editor, are hereby gratefully acknowledged. No better bequest could betall the present incumbent than the possession of her earnestness of purpose, devotion to duty, and unfaltering loyalty to K.U.
Thus said we hesitatingly approach and shove off from the shore.
THAT SCORE CARD "GRAFT."
The new term usheres in toil for every department. In the Library dray loads of books must be transferred or shifted. The influx of fees and return of rebates rouse the routine of the Treasury department from lethargy. During these timts of mental tension the registrar's office is perhaps the pivotal point. The wheels of the University cannot grind until the registrars records are complete. In order to reduce the delay to the minimum with his assistants he must toil day and night and even then this strenuous application could not in this instance avert a days delay. This brief respite however was enjoyed by the student body and was in nowise construed as a reflection on that official's efficiency.
With this auspicious issue, the editor is chary of any initiative that may lead to later embarassment or inconsistency. It is not his purpose to pose as "Thor and his Hammer" and "knock" regardless of pretext,
on every occasion. He does not wish this organ to circulate as an "Iconoclast" or "Philistine" or any other disseminator of chimerical theories. There are, however, prevalent in our midst certain customs and usages, existing apparently by implied consent only, against which we raise a prolonged and prodigious howl. To our notice has come the letting of Score Card Priviledges for the coming year, and concerning this we wish to speak.
The Athletic Association judged from a financial basis has scored a monumental success in the season just closed. A flattering surplus lies idle in the coffers of the company. In such a prosperous condition, the management is not justified in making use of every petty "graft" that promises to be transmuted into shining shekles. The Association could in its success have taken on a proportional dignity without seriously violating any business canons. This plea of business may be offered in defense, for under this argis hover many evils. But the business principles of larger institutions make dignified discriminations
The Score Card is a pure, unalloyed, 24 karat fine "graft." It is absolutely worthless and indefensible from the standpoint of either student or business utility. You could not beguile the most verdant Freshman to devote on it a cursory glance. Indeed this entrancing literature rather arouses in him emotions of a cursory nature. He would much prefer his laundry bill or even a proclamation. But the real objection to the score card is this:
In our a diversity life we have many legitimate, worthy, enterprises that elamor for support. In the maintenance of these, the merchants of our city are harried sufficiently. Why harass them with something that is absolutely worthless, when by so doing you cut into legitimate support of worthy institutions, discourage our city benefactors who largely make such institutions possible and substantiate our local reputation for "graft." The prosperous association should be charitable enough to forego a glutted treasury at the detrimental expense of other enterprises.
The efforts of the present management to fix the finances of the Association on a firm basis are highly commendable; nor should this article be construed as a disparagement of them. Yet the slight reduction of the revenues by a sloughing off of all petty "grafts" would not detract from the managers reputation of business ability. Rather would such an initiative be highly appreciated and a community long suffering from chronic "grafterism" would rise up and call him blessed.
As the new editor takes charge of the WEEKLY he cannot refrain from speaking of his predecessor and her work in a very complimentary tone. The paper has had faults, but they were not of Miss Pugh's willing or doing She gave it her attention conscientiously.
For a lady to assume such a
role has been a new departure but we unhesitatingly commend it. Too many K. U. girls are society girls attending K. U., not K. U. girls in society. The college maiden should mingle in college affairs; should vote and work, and manage college organizations. Miss Pugh has shown her ability and her courage. We compliment her on both qualities.
Strengthened by the successful issues of the late term and guided by the approach of Phi Beta Kappa election, the "possibilities" will soon shine up their "grins" and the prof's. will welter in the wealth of smiles.
"What is so rare as a day in June?" murmers the numb student as he brushes an icy goatee from his chin and struggles to an eight o'clock class.
The student who ate seven pieces of pie consecutively at the Oread Café the other day, has undesputable claims on piety.
Ellen Terry even in common unprofessional life is said to be a very Miss Terryous lady.
Williams and Walker have visited us; when may we expect Williams and Alexander?
Amorously inclined couples have not forgotten that we have a Spooner's Library.
The Brass Workors Union could support an active chapter here.
Prof. Engel should be satisfied. The Storks gave him a "one."
Y. M. C. A. Notes.
The first regular meeting of the term was held last Tuesday evening.
Rev. J. P. White of Topeka will addrese the meeting Sunday afternoon.
Plans are being made for the annual banquet which will be held sometime in March.
Rev. D. Baines Griffiths of Kansas City will be in Lawrence, Feb. 15-17 to address the Christian Associations, and will lead chapel the following week.
Membership has nearly reached the three hundred mark and there are over one hundred enrolled in Bible Study.
At the afternoon meeting last Sunday, Secy. Titus of the city Association gave a very interesting and helpful address on "Rescue Work in the Slums." He spoke of the "Rescue Work" done by the missions which have been established in the slums of our large cities.
The Mission study classes of the two Associations have placed in the library, "The Missionary Review of the World," the best missionary magazine of the present day.
The Fourth International Convention of the student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions will be held at Toronto, Canada, Feb. 26 to March 2. At a joint meeting of our two
Christian Associations on Jan. 19, it was decided that K. U. should be represented at this convention, and a committee was appointed to devise ways and means. As a result, a delegation of nine has been secured. Those who will attend are: Misses Ruth, Ewing, Shields, Oldroyd and Bennett. Messrs Roy Moody, Wm. Mustard, E. B. Black, Geo. Nutting, and Richard Williamson. It is possible that several others may yet decide to go.
Engineering Notes.
---
Engineers, do not forget to buy your tickets for the banquet. Mr. Strickler and several others are anxious to supply your wants.
Handson says this year's Freshman class of Engineers contains more good material than any he has had to deal with since he became the "strong man" of the shops.
The enrollment in shop work classes, far exceeds the capacity of the building. To relieve the condition several classes are scheduled for Saturday morning and in the meantime two fourteen inch lathes are now in the process of construction.
Prof. Ward's book is attracting wide-spread attention. The American Machinist for Jan. 2, compliments it highly. Inquiries from Manual Training Schools have been pouring in with requests for copies. Should we not be proud of the honor which this reflects upon old K. U.
