LAWRENCE, KAN., FEB. 3., 1900.
As our readers have probably noticed this week's issue of the WEEKLY comes out under a new management. We assume control of the paper with the best interests of the WEEKLY at heart. We shall endeavor to make the WEEKLY a worthy representation of Kansas University and in this we ask the heavy co-operation of every student of the school. We are not editing this paper for the money there is it but to keep Kansas University before the public. We want to see that the official paper of our institution compares favorably with those of other schools and we can surely do this when every student takes it upon himself to help us along. If any one has an item that is interesting to the readers of the WEEKLY, do not hesitate to give it to some member of the board. In this way you will help your school and will also receive the everlasting blessings of the editors for the editorial path is not strenued with roses. If you appreciate our effort in trying to give Kansas University the best paper possible, show your appreciation by giving up your support, financially and otherwise but don't come to us with your troubles. We have quite a surplus on hand now Tell your troubles to a policeman if you can find one in Lawrence that is what he is paid for. Aga! let us impress upon the students the need of hearty co-operation in order to give Kansas university a good paper. Cut this out and paste it in your hat or put it between the beaves of your bible where you will see it often. The student certainly owe a debt of gratitude to the retiring management and especially t Frank Post the editor-in-chief who has done so much to give Kansas Universi a first class paper. He has put in great deal of his time for the good of the paper and certainly deserves a greet deal of credit.
Some one was cruel enough to suggest that the recent series of burglaries and hold-ups was a hoax to keep the students at home with their books at night, just before the term examination. We dismiss such an insinuation without consideration, but even if there is any truth in the report, it seems to have had the desired effect, because we have not missed any familiar faces from school. However, if any one of the readers of the WEEKLY want the address of their paper changed, we shall do so and ask no questions.
There are a good many new faces on the hill this term and several old scholars have returned to resume their studies after being out of school for a while.
The basket ball season opened last week and the team started out with flying colors. This institution has a good
strong team this year that is sure to be a winner, and every one who can should turn out to these games and help the boys. Basket ball became a very popular game last year and the same interest ought to be taken in the games this season. The season opens a little late this year but since the rink burned down last year the basket ball boys have had no place to practise until the new, Y, M, C. A. building was fitted up. Since then they have been working hard, and have made a great deal of improvement.
The Y. M. C, A. team of Topeka, will play here February 9. The Topeka team is a strong one, and a good game is promised. A large crowd should be out to the game.
The term examinations are over and it is with a deep feeling of relief that the students settle down to their ordinary work again.
Prof. G. B Penny, dean of the school of fine arts of Kansas university, sailed from Boston today on a combined lecture. study and pleasure trip abcread. He has been engaged by the managers of a nine weeks cruise to the Mediterranean and the Orient to deliver a series of stereopticon lectures en route on Greek act-Roman architecture. He will also be one of the three directors of the tour, and as such will have charge of the Egyptian section.
The cruise will be made by a party of 400 eastern tourists, chiefly New York and Massachusetts educators. The itinerary includes the principal points of interest in Egypt, Falestine, Greece and Italy. This will be Prof. Penny's second visit to the orient for the purpose of studying the history of art, and he goes prepared to take a large number of photographs for his department.
The second term of the year opens at the Kansas State University with 1,002 students. The Missouri State University, including the School of Mines at Rolla, must be a good second. It would look better though if there were more than a thousand students at Columbia. The difference ought not to be in favor of the newer state.—K.C. Star.

A High School graduate of last week comes to the University with this advance notice of his football career. A box of roses was brought in to the class president who managed to play the star game of football during the season and to keep up his studies on the side and graduate with honors. Long stemmed roses for a football hero! He know how to carry the pig skin down the field amid the shouts of hundreds of spectators, but how to march on to the platform before a sea of faces, carrying a bunch of American Beauties, was too much of a task for him.

One of the clearest combinations touring this season has been secured as the attraction $a$ in the Opera House Tuesday, February 6. The company referred to is headed by Miss Marie Lamour, heretofore a prominent and attractive member of Augustin Daly's New York company. The play through which Miss Lamour will be introduced to our theatre goers is Wilfred Clarke's great London success, "A Wise Woman" Miss Lamour and her clever company have been afforded the highest praise everywhere they have appeared and it is claimed for them that they take a high position among the standard metropolitan attractions of the day. Frederic Murphy, whose splendid talents are well known to many patrons of the drama, and who last season occupied the important position of leading man for Julia Marlowe, has been engaged to appear in the same capacity with Miss Lamour's organization. The balance of the supporting company are said to be of an equally high order of merit. Mr. Clarke who did the staging of his comed y whent it was put on the Strand The剧院 in London, where it ran for 238 nights, has looked after this important detail for Miss Lamour.
Alfred Harmsworth, editor of the famous London Daily Wail who has made $4,000,000 in journalism says in a personal interview: "Do smarter men than I fail? Yes indeed. And there are many reasons why they do o. The principal ones is drink. I am a tetotaler, though not a bigot nor a fanatic. I do not think that drink is a good thing for a business man, as it makes him stupid and clogs his brain."
Drink Does It.
Mr. Clark returns to Lawrence next Thursday night with the same hymn book and playing card selling "Jones," whose difficulties and trials are numerous but who extracts himself from the mass of entanglement with the ease and urbanity of the true knight of the grip. Mr. Clarke will be seen at the Bowersock opera house Thursday, February 8th.

Last season Harry Carson Clarke was seen in Lawrence in the happy role of "Jones" in "What Happened to Jones," for the first time and was accorded an ovation by those who were fortunate enough to be present.

The bill introduced by Representative Miller in the house of representatives giving the Fort Hays military reservation to the state of Kansas for educational purposes, was before the house this week but was not acted upon. This bill passed both houses of the legislature in the fifty-third congress, but failed to receive the president's signature and last session it passed the senate again. When the Indians were moved from western Kansas to the Indian Territory, the Fort Hays reservation, comprising about 7,000 acres of land, was abandoned. The land is not worth much as it is today, but by means of irrigation it can be made very productive. To turn it over to the state for educational purposes seems to be the best use which could be made of it and it certainly ought to be utilized some way. Our Agriculture college which is the largest in the United States is now over crowded and it is proposed to establish a branch college upon this reservation. It is also proposed to erect another state normal school on the land, which would certainly be a good measure. Kansas has paid a great deal of attention to her state institutions of learning and she has been well repaid. It is hoped that this bill will become a law during this session of congress.
