Minnesota University has changed its weekly paper to a daily. The paper is now called the Minnesota Daily and is printed on the University press. It is bright and newsy, and a credit to the institution it represents.
The Athletic Association did wisely in allowing the football team to play the game with the Medics. The game makes the schedule much stronger. It is to be hoped the team will also receive permission to play with the Denver Athletic Association. The boys need the outing it will give them.
Few people outside of the University know that there is such a thing as school politics. Four class elections each year, two Weekly elections and elections for places on athletic boards makes a very respectable political field, and it is certainly used to advantage. Political lines are drawn in all sorts of ways. Combines, gangs and political strings are about as numerous as in the real political world, and the Hannas and Joneses are also much in evidence. It is a credit to the students that although there is much real rivalry yet there is seldom any ill will in the contests. This kind of work is itself something of an education. Several of our promote n statesmen have said they learned their first political lessons at college, and in the future it may be that some renowned senator or ambassador to St. James will say he took his first training in state craft while interested in K, U, pollin cs.
Beginning with this year the University of Kansas will include in its list of the faculty the name of Mrs. Mary F. Newson. In acquiring her services we have secured a lady of liberal education and of great attainments in the line of mathematics. Her name before her marriage with Prof H B Newton last month was Dr. Mary F Winston. Mrs. Newson has the honor of being the first American woman to receive the degree of Ph. D. in the University of Goettingen, Germany. For the three years following September, 1897 she has occupied the chair of mathematics of the State Agricultural College at Manhattan, which she resigned to engage in a different kind of work.
Everyone at K. S. A. C. regretted to see her leave the school in which she had worked so faithfully. The following resolution concerning Mrs. Newson was passed by the faculty of the College whic he has just left: "We recognize in Miss Mary F. Winston, professor of mathematics in the Kansas State Agricultural College, one whose technical acquirements are rarely excelled, and whose logical mind clear sense of justice, earness of character, sympathetic nature and persona charm have combined to make her one of the most efficient and popular teachers this institution, and one of the most valuable counselors of this faculty. We desire to express our deep and sincere great at her departure, and we hope that in her new life she may find the full measure of happiness and prosperity that she deserves."

The Phi Gams dancing party which was given last Saturday night in A O U W hall was most enjoyable. Good music and the coolness of the evening made dancing doubly pleasant. One happy feature of the occasion, that proved quite an addition to the evening, was the pledging of Alonzy de Leon of Topeka and George Brown of Wichita. Among those present were Mr and Mrs Bob Manley, Misses Flintom, Sexton, Spencer, Van Hosin, Morris, Gaddis, Armsby, Hansen and Leland; Messrs. Campbell, Edward, Fletcher, Dinsmore, Oldham, Imboden, Noble Brown, De Leon, Fletcher and Frank Beck and Bert Curry of Topeka.

The affair was called a Registration party and each guest was required to register as if he were entering school. He was given cards on which to arrange his studies, a list of them being found on a bullitin on one side of the room. When studies such as Flunkology, Profology and Ponyology were selected and the cards signed, the guest was given a ticket which permitted him to partake of the refreshments. The registering caused a great deal of amusement and on the whole the party was a decided success.
At seven oclock Wednesday morning Miss Harriet Ayres oldest daughter of Rev W W Ayres of this city was united in marriage to Mr Jule de Labarth of Trail, B C The marriage took place at the home of the bride's uncle Walter Aldrich where she has spent the greater part of the last two years.

Her host of friends in social club and church circles wish the happiest future possible for Mr. and Mrs. de Labarth.
Wednesdav night the girls of the Kappa Alpha Theta had a delightful party at the home of Mrs. Walter Howe. Miss Anna Harrison of Topka won at whist and received the honor prize, a box o candy.

One of the most delightful parties ever given in Pythian hall, was that given by the Barbs last night.

There are almost four hundred people on the hill who can testify that the reception Friday night was a success.
The Association has profited by the visit of Rev. C. H. Fenn of Leavenworth, who has been at the house during the week.
Library hall was prettily decorated in University colors and banks of golden rod. One corner was fitted up as Registrats office which was visited by all presents who were duly registered in Profology, Quizics, Cribatics and kindred subjects; instructors were secured from the opposite sex and classes were soon in session in the various cozy corners about the room. An adjournment was taken in order that professors and students might partake of ice cream Weidemann's, which happily endd a very pleasant occasion.
This announcement will be greeted with much enthusiasm maby the many K. U students, both tennis players and enthusiasts, interested in this most skillful entertaining sport.
All members of the faculty and of the student body are invited to visit the Association home on Ohio street. The boys of the house have put in a very fine tennis court on the vacant lots adjoining.
It is no exaggeration to say that no form of sport is capable of working up more intense and absorbing interest than is a closely contested tennis tournament. It is to be hoped that this tournament will be entered not by those only who have the most probable chances of winning, but by everyone who is able to put up in practice an ordinarily good game. For it is a noteworthy fact that the best players in a tournament far exceeds their play in practice. It may be truthfully said that no one knows beforehand what success he may attain in a tennis tournament. Some of the greatest tennis successes have been won by those least expected to win. The new player who should also bear in mind that he need never expect his game without tournament experience.
The regular Association Bible classes are now being organized; they will meet in the rooms of the members in various locations convenient to those wishing to take the work. The courses are especially adapted to students. No dogmatic teaching is given, but the freshest interchange of opinion is encouraged. Leave your name at the house if you wish to join a class.
The management of the South Lawrence Tennis Association wishes to announce that the University tennis championship in singles and doubles will be decided on the courts of the Association *at the corner of Ohio and Adams street by a tournament commencing Saturday, October 20.
The membership of the Association is increasing rapidly this week. The ticket which will be issued to members, guarantees that "upon presentation of this ticket the holder will be welcomed at all city and student associations, and during vacation periods will be granted privileges subject to local limitations while this ticket is in force."
R J. Montgomery is employed as general secretary at Haskell this year.
All old K. U, men know the proud place held in western tennis circles by Kansas University men and it has been injust such tournaments as the coming one on the south Lawrence courts that our great players have developed their powers. Those who have won [the most fame for the U. in the past have been in singles Russell R. Whitman and Edwin E Carroll former champions; of K. U. and winners of the Missouri-Kansas championship at Kansas City, Mo., and in doubles Edwin E. Carroll and Sydney W Griggs champions of "Kansas 1899 and of Kansas and Missouri 1899. It might be rash to say K. U. has as good players now as in the first but it " Certainly is true that by earnest effort on the part of our rising young players much greater players can be developed now than in the past. The setting of the date so far ahead should give plenty of time for all to get the requisite amount of practice.
Gilford Chappell, the boy orator of Oklahoma, who was once a member of the class of oo here, stopped for a few days the first of the week to visit friends and talk politics. He is on his way to the University of Michigan, where he is taking the course in law. This summer Mr. Chappell has been stumping the territory in the interests of the republican party,

The Autumn Girl.
Do you hear a faroff,
Dim, mysterious throbbing strain
Of wondrous melody?
It is the golden bond
Stain against the meadow breeze
To time her coming.
Soon the sounds will swell
Into a glassem, glesosome song,
A march triumphal.
Take that ice cube.
And with a swirl, a swapper and a swish
Enter the autumn girl of nineteen hundred
From the sea, the shore, the mountain top,
Yacht deck or hotel porch
A bloomy eyed, sun kissed symphony of girl!
About her clothes a certain adiness
For the mad, glad summer,
Of all the rhinestone mantessness
That marked the year's high noontime.
In her eyes the sky and sea have left blus dis
To her ears.
She waves have put a tangle in her hair
Brined ode, glinting like golden sand
Touched by the sun to flame.
But why write matridges like this
To her!
She works not of a rhyme
Just now;
She's busy hunting lotions, almond creams
And another frochel chашs
On doer the tractor one little nor one lot
Of all the rhinestone mantessness
That marked the year's high noontime.
In her eyes the sky and sea have left blus dis
To her ears.
She waves have put a tangle in her hair
Brined ode, glinting like golden sand
Touched by the sun to flame.

WILL WELL SOCKS.
The feminine sock is an improvement upon the masculine sock, says the St. Louis Republic. In the first place, it is longer. The standard length is 19 inches. It is ribbed at the top, and, other things being equal, a perfect fit is assured, without support. It is not more than 25 years since the opera length was adopted. It was this long stocking that caused the temporary displacement of garter buckles and the dainty silk circle in fashion a generation ago.
In all the Chicago department stores the decorations in honor of the Grand Army encampment included artistic displays of the new stockings. But the stockings are not on sale. They have not even arrived from Paris, where they were first brought out a few days ago. Only patterns are shown. Orders for the new stockings will be taken, however, and deliveries will be made as soon as the goods arrive.
Men have borrowed the woman's shirt waist for summer wear; therefore, why should women not retaliate by borrowing man's socks for winter use? That is the question asked of captious critics and by the big firms that are now sending for large consignments of silk, llisle thread and cotton gooose.
Chicago Girls Eager to Adopt a Dress Innovation.
It is said that the new sock will cause the garter to disappear altogether, and physicians lail the innovation as a boon to the girls not only of Chicago, but throughout the land.
Chicago girls will be among the first to adopt socks next winter. Fashion has decreed that the abbreviated stocking shall be the thing for the stylish woman, and of course that is enough to make the sales of the new hosiery reach immense proportions in Chicago.
PRAISED BY JAPANESE.
Correspondent Tells of American Ambulance Corps' Fine Equipment,
A Japanese correspondent with the allied forces sent the following to his paper after the battle of Tlen-tsin, says a Victoria (B. C.) dispatch to the New York Sun:
"The American ambulance corps has done some excellent work. Their stretchers are the best in the field and show the wonderful inventive faculty of the Americans. The handles of these stretchers are so arranged that they can be formed at once into supports by a clever mechanical contrivance, so that the stretchers can be used as beds or benches for surgical operations. The advantages of this system cannot be too much commended, for on ground so swampy and hot as the soll of Chili the wounded men cannot safely lie long pending the treatment on the spot, and this inconvenience is removed by the American invention. Sixty men were thus treated directly where they fell who otherwise would have died. The Japanese medical staff refer to the fact in most praiseworthy terms."
