It is rather remarkable that the Drake paper falls to mention the Kansas game at all. ___
The University of Texas gets out a good weekly. The Ranger, which came to hand for the first time this week.
If Kansas gets a game of basket ball with Yale in Chicago, it will be a bacon to Kansas Athletics. Let everyone urge the matter.
Now that the football season is almost over why not learn to play golf? It is a good game and one that can be played by both ladies and gentlemen.
The kicking game is getting to be an important one in football in spite of all the criticism made upon it. Look at Harchberger last year and O'Dea this year, while a new star has now risen—Wheeler of Grinnell, who made three goals from the field in a game with Ames last week.
The idea of a "megaphone brigade" for football rooftop is being agitated in many places. We ought to have one for the Missouri game. The megaphones that were on the field at the 10 Drake game did好 work andought to do some more. Think the matter over and then get a megaphone to take to Kansas City with you.
Much comment has been caused by President Hadley's statement in regard to an artilleryacy of wealth in our universities. According to the views of the presidents of Cituatego, Northwestern, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota Universities, there is no danger of this in the west. In these schools 20 to 24 per cent of the students earn their own money while only 20 to 25 per cent have more money than they need. Still in some of these universities, notably in Michigan and Wisconsin, fraternities and sororities are mentioned as causes of unfortunate growth in social distinctions. In Wisconsin two classes of fraternities are recognized, one whose members are selected for distinction in scholarship, athletics, or literary work, and another compiling the would-be swells. Both in Wisconsin and Michigan they have striven to obtain control of all elective offices and honors. That has come to be the case in this school. Many social distinctions are made but the principle idea of the fraternity system is to "get something." Apparently the best fraternity is the one which can control the most votes and which will resort to any kind of a deal to have the honor of some class or athletic offices in the fraternity. This a noble aim for societies which are supposed to uplift mankind.
There has been a movement lately on the part of the law students to obtain control of the local oratorical association and to try for representation in the state association. Their efforts will be useless. The association is an inter-collegiate one, and if the law school were allowed representation it would be necessary to admit the commercial departments of some of the so-called universities. The law school is not the whole thing. In fact it has always been recognized as one of the minor schools, due in large measure to the slight requirements for entrance. It is the candidates for the A.
B. or B. S. in this or any other school who are recognized as the leading element of the school, which is perfectly natural and proper.
The Cooper Courier extols the merits of a small staff and claims that with more assistants all will not get sufficient experience. Our idea is that all of a staff—the Weekly staff for instance—could得 plenty of experience, but the trouble is that so many don't seem to want it, which gives some of the others rather more than they want.
COLLEGE PAPERS AND THINGS
It is mighty hard work to make a college paper interesting. It takes lots of work and time.
This is especially true when the paper must depend entirely on the members of the staff to secure news. Everybody in school should take an interest in the paper.
Don't pick it up and glance it over and throw it down and say there is nothing in it. It don't amount to anything. It is just such people who make a college paper nothing.
A college paper is just like a foot ball eleven. If the fellows don't come out and practise and if there is no interest in the game, the team is a poor one and does not meet with success.
If the students do not take an interest in the paper and tell the mom bers of the stuff what they are doing or where they are going, the paper is dry and uninteresting. A half dozen brainstormed students can not make a paper interesting without the co-operation of all the students. A school paper is a good advertisement for a school. The "WEEKLY" is a very good paper, but it can be made better if every student does his part.
Take an interest in the thing, push it along and we shall have a bright, newsy paper. ___

Chess, from Persian Shah King
The "oldest and most scientific of sedentary amusements" originating in India about 5,000 years ago has been universally adopted by the educated classes in every civilized country on the globe.
The use of this game in mind training is no less important than that of the various athletic and out-door games in training the body, while the intellectual battle in the world strike presents a field for future usefulness of the Chess Habit that is fully as practical and useful as the development of a sound body, which should contain a sound mind.
the opportunities for Intercollegiate Chess and Checker contests are so numerous and the advantages to be gained so valuable to the student that it would certainly not be strange to see them adopted as higher studies.
In the battle of life no one would forget the training of the 'King of Games', but would always be on the lookout for his opponent's next move and try to forestall it.
In our advertising columns will be found a novel and wonderfully convenient aid to the student or expert.

Many requests come to the WEEKLY management for "back numbers" of the paper. Persons subscribing late in the year or neglecting to notify the managers of changes in address, ask for copies of all previous issues of the term. So many requests of this kind have been received that the files of the WEEKLY are almost exhausted, and it will be impossible to accommodate any others. Those who have written for s"back numbers" please take notice.

It is reported from New Haven, Conn ; that a reign of terror exists among the sons of Yale by reason of a crusade conducted by Judge Dow of the city court, assisted by the stern minions of the law, against the practice of kissing, long in vogue among Yale students and colleges widows, so called.
The Yale Student and the Law.
Judge Dow appears to be a jurist of unbending rigor, with well defined ideas regarding the subject of occulation.
The word was quietly circulated among the student body that caution must be exercised but it was unanimously agreed that the immemorial privilege would not be surrendered without a struggle, and the war was on.
The incident which brought on actual hostilities is reported as follows: A Yale freshman named Lawrence escorted a Miss Carroll, described as one of the prettiest belles of New Haven, to the theatre. After the play they proceeded to a cafe. Following this excess the young man engaged in the gallant but insidious task of helping Miss Carroll into her cloak, when his cheek accidentally brushed against hers, and to quote the testimony of the policeman who was eyeing the proceedings from behind a convenient door, "the kissed her." A moment later the culprits were arrested, the patrolman taking them to the police station, where they were locked up. The next morning they were brought before Judge Daw, who violently thumped his desk when the culprits pleaded guilty, declared, "this kissing must stop. They will be kissing me next," and sentenced both prisoners to fifteen days in jail.
Mrs. Lucy Rider Meyer, of the Chicago Deaconess training school, will be the guest of the Y. W. C. A. next Tuesday and Wednesday. At the regular Y. W. C. A. meeting next Wednesday afternoon, she will speak on the work in which she is particularly interested—"The need of trained nurses in missionary work."
trained nurses in missionary work.
This is the way science looks on the matter, and we live in a scientific age Judge Dow's ultimatum: "This kissing must stop," will go thundering down the corridors of time and of Yale's dormitories as official notice that the judiciary has joined hands with the science in severely putting an end to the indiscriminate practice of lip-smacking. Young Mr. Lawrence and young Miss Carroll, as they languish in a dungeon cell, may feel that they are martyrs in a good cause; but impartial history will declare that like Oom Paul, Aguinaldo and the rest of them, they are simply obstacles in the broad path of the advancing march of enlightened twentieth century civilization.
