LAWRENCE, KAN..SAT. OCT. 19. 1901.
The action of the Athletic board in regard to the resignations tendered on Wednesday, met the satisfaction of all, except perhaps two or three who imagine it their duty to be dissatisfied with every thing. Of course the managers made a mistake by playing White at Kirksville, but it seems as if the act was mitigated by the circumstances under which he was played. Some say the faculty members of the board are cranky to create trouble and excitement over such a little thing as the incident of Saturday, but they are not. It would not be right to pass this offense over lightly, because, through present neglect graver trespasses might occur in the future. So the board met, and every one interested imagined that in about fifteen minutes K. U. would be minus general athletic manager, football manager, coach, football team, athletic association, money the association had made during the past few weeks, last and certainly not least, a place in athletic circles. Wouldn't such a condition be awful! Fortunately some of the board realized all this. They saw what the results would be if the offered resignations were accepted. It took these members three hours and a half to make the others comprehend the situation as it was but at the end of that time all the board considered it best to not accept the resignations and to regret the managers' offense. The board is to be congratulated on their success in not having professionalism and in making people understand that we have adopted the conference rules and mean to be guided by them. It is also to be congratulated that in a trying situation it can let reason reign and do a wise deed.
Again K. U. is facing the question, "Shall we have oratory in our school this year? Shall we enter the inter-collegiate contests and inter-state contests? Have we men who will make good debaters?" Some say no to all these questions, but they do not know how very badly mistaken they are. We are going to have oratory. We are going to take part in both inter-collegiate and inter-state contests.
We have men with ability who can, have they the proper encouragement and training, win us first place in all contests. Encourage them, help support them, if you can do nothing else. Be glad they are working and tell them so.
Has it occurred to any of you what the thing is that first impresses the stranger. A visitor from a western school said the other day: "How very poorly students carry themselves; I have seen a very few who hold themselves erect." Observing, the remark is found too true; this one stoops his shoulders, that one projects his head or else hangs it down as if he were a Sophomore expecting to be called before the disciplinary committee; another lets one shoulder drop. Boys and girls alike shamble along instead of propelling themselves in an erect, easy way. Hold up your shoulders, hold up your chin, hold up your heads:
"O wad some power the giftie gie us. To see ourselves as itthers see us."
A copy of the Crimson, the Fort Scott High School paper, shows that a high school can edit a clever and interesting sheet. Perhaps some of the credit is due to the teachers, most of whom are K.U. students.

Middle Laws Elect Class Officers.
The Middle Laws met last Monday and elected officers for the year. The election proved to be quite a spirited contest, as the fight was between the members of the law school who came from the Emporia State Normal and the anti-Normalite faction of the Middle class. The vote was very close on most of the officers, but the Normalites won through force of members, Day Pierson being the only man on the anti-Normalite ticked elected. The following officers were elected:
Brobst, president; Smith, vicepresident; McTaggert, secretary; Day Pierson, treasurer; Robert Maize, representative on the K. U. Lawyer.
Much time was consumed in talking over a fight on the "Lawyer" on account of the Middlers not receiving a fair representation on the staff, but the class decided in favor of the Lawyer by an almost unanimous vote.
