LAWRENCE, KAN., JAN. 13,, 1900.
Entered at the Lawrence Postoffice as second class mail matter.
Topeka Capital; Another blow at the rights of women; Cleveland High School girls have been forbidden to play football.
We suppose that if guns are allowed to the University for military drill the Freshman's cup of happiness will be overflowing next year.
From the general appearance of the new Chemistry building as it now stands, it will be a welcome addition to the fine group of buildings which adorn our campus.
The Emporia High School News is a pretty good paper, but it rather imposes on its readers when it publishes on the first page a synopsis of the plot of "The Devil's Auction."
We are pleased to note the number of good High School papers which are coming to our exchange table. This is a good thing and helps to keep the University in close touch with the high school's. Let us have more of them.
It was a graceful thing for the Athletic Board to make acknowledgment of Coach Yost's services as it did. He had received that approval from the student body and it was the right thing for it to be made official.
Again we wish to urge that sweaters be given to the football team. It is only a slight recognition of their services which has always been granted in the past and it would seem that we could certainly do no less for a team which has made such a record as the one this year.
The Glee Club trip this year has shown that it is perfectly possible for a fine musical organization to go out from the University, and has given every reason for making this an annual affair. It is impossible for the best results when the club goes out only once in two or three years, as has been the case lately.
Every one was willing to come back and go to work again after the pleasures and recreations of the holidays. Maybe fome of us are not quite recovered from our celebration but we're glad to get back and have made lots of resolutions about our work—in fact the end of the term is drawing near and resolutions come in real well just now,
The remarkable showing which the University of California made against Carlisle on Christmas day has completed the destruction of the theory that the east is the home of all good football. Chicago and Wisconsin have upheld the honor of the middle west against the crack teams of the Pennsylvania, Yale and Cornell, and new the Pacific coast has produced eleven men who could keep the victorious red men of Carlisle from crossing the line. Kennedy of Pennsylvania (formerly of Kauas) admits that Chicago is the equal of any team in the country, and Kansas will be up in the same rank before many years.
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
OUESTION
QUESTION
In our last bunch of exchanges we notice that several college papers speak of their next issue as coming in the twentieth century, and they seem to be supported in this opinion by some of the leading dailies. It is a hard matter to
decide whether the first year was called the year 1 or the year 0. There is no one now on the earth whose memory can reach back far enough to solve the perplexing question, and unfortunately the scientists of that time did not have enough regard for their descendants of the nineteenth and Twentieth centuries to leave us any information on the subject. Our own personal opinion is that we will have to wait about 333 days before we enter the new century but Emperor William of Germany says we are already in it, and he is authority, according to William.
We would ask however that no one should take exception to this article and try to convince us of the error of our way, for we can argue it out either wav quite satisfactorily.
Iowa, by shutting out Illinois and pling up an astonishingly large score, considering the strength of her opponents, preserved her recode of an uncrossed goal line and maintained the proud distinction of being one of the four unbeaten college teams of the year. The University of Iowa and Indiana have been voted members of the "Conference Colleges." Iowa, at least, by its excellent football record this year seems to have won the right to such recognition — University of Chicago Weekly.
And there are others! What's the matter with Kansas?

A WORD TO THE WORKERS.
Oh, come, ye lovely co-eds. and listen to my song;
I hope it won't be very sad,
and I know it won't be long.
I have something on my mind—
(Don't miss! I haven't.)
Don't say that I am joshing. Or only making fun.
But as I roam these college halls,
But as I form these college bards
And not a man in sight,
With many co-ed's all alone,
I think it's hardly right.
So I tell you how to do 'em,
I've for I've been there you know.
When you catch a pretty Freshman,
As you work him, do go slow.
Don't work him to a finish. In some attempts to hide."
Don't work him to a finish,
In your attempts to "do."
But work him rather gently,
And he'll last a year or two.
Just watch some of your sisters, See how they do their part:
They are so smooth and simple— I tell you, it's an art.
For a fellow really likes it,
As long as he don't know,
But if you take too anxious,
Why then—away he'll go
Don't say mean things abut me,
But listen to my talk;
And lots of you'll be riding—
Where now you have to walk.
