The WEEKLY is anxious to keep in touch with the Alumni. They are the ones on whom, the record of the school depends. The college paper is always glad to give them mention. If your nametags not on the subscription list, put it there, and let us hear what you are
doing.
Among the exchanges this week were the first numbers of the Baker Orange. The Oven from Emporia, Silver and Gold from Colorado, and the Knox Student from Galesburg, Ili. The first number of the WEEKLY was printed two weeks earlier than any of these.
From our exchanges we learn that the seniors in many of the universities have already ordered their caps and gowns. The plan is a good one. If a class expects to have gowns it should have them for appropriate occasions throughout the year. It is expensive and almost useless to buy caps and gowns late in the year when they can be worn but once or twice at most.
The University is exceedingly grateful to Mr. A. Monroe for his gift to the chemistry department. For some time Prof. Franklin and Mr. Krause have been experimenting with liquid ammonia. As early as last year letters of inquiry and congratulation on their work came to them from Russian universities and elsewhere. Their experiments have been watched carefully at home and abroad. It is such work that makes our University famous. Just at the time when it seemed that the work must be discontinued because of lack of funds, Mr. Monroe generously gives $250 to the department, and the school will not soon forget his kindness.
The WEEKLY feels that it is not properly supported by the professors of the University. To be sure the most of them are on the subscription list, but when anything unusual happens in their departments, they usually take pains to let the down town papers know, without ever giving the WEEKLY a single thought. The next Saturday they pick up the paper and complain about it not having any news. This is not true of every professor, we are glad to say. Some of them willingly grant us interviews and volunteer information. We wish there were more such ones. The WEEKLY is not ideal, we are sorry to say, but one thing is sure, it can never even approach the ideal if the faculty is unwilling to give it University news.
Football tickets are now on sale, and before the game this afternoon every student who can possibly afford it should have one. It is worth your while to have
a vote in the Athletic association. You will want to go to all the games anyway, and a ticket will save you money. Help the management and the team. Be byal to K. U. For these reasons buy a season ticket:
The complaint has been made that the WEEKLY is only a republican organ. Those who are reading the paper know the charge is entirely untrue. The Bryan club received no write up last week simply because it had not organized. We are anxious to get all political news at the University, and space will be given to either side. The charge is so foolish that it scarcely deserves a thought.
One of the Weekly board recently received a letter from home with this question, 'Is there any one in Lawrence who dyes?' It may have been a misunderstanding that resulted in the following letter:
Dear Ida:--Your letter came yesterday.
You asked me if I knew "whether there is anyone who dies in Lawrence." Yes,
dear Ida, several have died here during the past year, several died the year before,
and if the city records are to be depended on a great many shook off this mortal coil even before that time. In some years the mortality has been frightful, in others several months have passed without the reaction of a single tomstone. People are born, live and die in Lawrence as in any other town. These seem to be habits which are almost, if not universal. People are accustomed to die here, but I don't think that they do so more than in other towns. At least I have never heard of any one dying more than once. At present I believe neither the democrats or republicans have committed themselves on the issue. But I am sure the populists are 'agit' it, and I believe they could make a good paramount issue out of it. One thing is certain, those who come out or rather go out in favor of dying, wouldn't be able to stuff the ballot box
Perhaps, Ida, you would like to ask why people die in Lawrence. As to that, I frankly admit that to a great extent I am in total darkness, and perhaps many of them are too. Some die of old age, some of over-work, and some because they are tired of this cold world, I might presume to say, where some have goe be to but many it would seem I had overstepped the bounds of delicacy. I confess, Ida, your buestion is rather startling, but I am yours to serve.—E.
