"It may be heresy, yet I am forced to the conviction, that an alumnus of Kansas State University might have spent the four years which he devoted to the usual university course, more profitably to himself and to the world, rolling stones with Sisyphus, if he cannot find another's heartache exactly as he finds a star,"—William A. White
The New Weekly.
This issue of the WREKLY appears in folio form. It will be hereafter so issued. The reasons for the change are several and sufficient. The anomaly of a newspaper in magazine form has long been apparent. The hurry of the issue detracts from its literary and artistic quality while no amount of hurry can furnish the news as it occurs. In the old form the typographical appearance of the newspaper-magazine was shoddy and distressing in the extreme; the stories were silly and puerile and unreadable; the football games occurring one Saturday were reported on the next; the whole content was too childish from the magazine standpoint, too absurdly ancient from the standpoint of the most primitive newspaper. A change was demanded and is now given. We hope it will be welcomed by all. The policy of the paper will be to chronicle the news faithfully, impartially and intelligibly, and to advance in the full measure of its power the aims of this great educational institution which it represents. It will be alive. Issued every Saturday night the news will be up-to-date, including a full account of the afternoon football game. It bespeaks loyal support, promising to interest if not always to please.
terest if not always to please.
There are two methods of conducting the editorial page of a college paper, the singular method, the editor-in-chief writing all the paragraphs, and the community method, the editor and his associates all working in common. The purpose of the first method is obvious but mistaken, for the theory that when one man writes all the editors the authorship of all the good things is known works both ways, the authorship of the poor things being known then as well. And the present staff fear the condemnation of the preponderance; although perhaps it is not the preponderance that counts after all, so many journalists are judged merely by the dull things they write; but of this the staff take due caution. Nobody shall know who are the guilty authors of the poor matter,—unless forsooth, no good copy appear at all. But the honors of a good paragraph shall be equally distributed among the editors and the associates, for we choose the community method. And the waste paper basket tells no tales.
The credit of a good college paper goes to the school where it is published; not to the editors. We admire the Yale Courant, the Harvard Advocate, the Cornell Era;
but we do not say "well done Mr. Wootsy of the Courant and Mr. Kootsy of the Advocate and Mr. Ebenezer of the Era." These are all learned gentlemen, excellent in their way, and approved journalists, but it is their work that appeals to us, not the authors of it. Indeed, most of us, if we ever even looked over the catalogues of honored names which head the editorial pages of these papers have forgotten all about the style of Mr. Wootsy's work and Mr. Kootsy's and Mr. Ebenezer's, while the individuality or the commonality, if you call it so, of the papers which they represent remains with us to please or displease and help to make the reputation of their schools. The honor of a good paper, then, belongs to the school, as well as the dishonor of a poor one.
We commend the University Y. M. C. A. for its departure from the time-honored custom of meeting new students at the trains. A boy old enough to attend a university is certainly old enough to enter a town and find accommodations without the aid of a guide; moreover, he is sure to profit by just such an encounter with the cold world. Lists of rooms, hand-books, cheerful service and cordial fellowship make the Y. M. C. A. one of the new student's best friends, but in a university its influence is only weakened when it vies with hackmen, hotel-runners, club-stewards and fraternities in capturing new men at the railway stations.
The editorial board of the WEEKLY has undertaken the publication of a monthly magazine that shall be literary and artistic in content and at the same time interesting to every student of the University of Kansas. The pen and ink sketch by Professor Clark will be a feature. The magazine will be issued from the press of Lawton and Burnup of Kansas City, the first number to appear about the middle of October.
--ment- 'ab!' that is it. Assume a little if you have it not.
It is quite probable that the new students spent their first days in Lawrence in trying to get the dust out of their eyes.
Tell your troubles to Nate.
Do not attempt to drink out of the stand pipe.
A fool and his room-mate are soon parted.
A well educated man will not forget to pay his laundry bill.
Bob Moody and Archie Hogg gladly answer all questions.
If you are late to class, do not run. The campus clock never runs.
A stagnant pool covered with green scum looks best when dried up.
The way of the transgressor leads him to the disciplinary committee.
Eschwe late hours. A game of marbles ought not to hold you after 2 a.m.
When you lose your hat advertise for it on the bulletin board and you'll never see it again.
It is not considered good form to spit on the floor nor through the grating of the registers.
Chapel exercises are for the unregenerate. Members of the faculty are seldom tolerated.
Do not be too insistent and outspoken. A clown often mistakes boorishness for independent spirit.
Avoid tobacco in every form; but if you must use the weed, don't borrow your Arcadian mixture of me.
The man that casts his bread upon the waters may expect to find it pretty well soaked up by the time it returns to him.
Arrange to have little private talks with your instructors after class. This is called the gas method and is a sure way to fame and favor.
The football player who refuses to get into the interference is of little use on the gridiron to any but himself. He belongs to the same class with the reformer who will not mix up in politics.
Walter Blackburn Harte has an admirable essay in the July Lotus on "Catching Ideas on the Wing." It appeals to Freshmen. A great number of you would be better off for winging a few.
Do not give two thoughts to your popularity. A man never knows how much folk think of him until he dies, and then everybody feels sorry that he has gone to Heaven.
When a stranger rushes up to you and warmly shakes your hand, do not knock him down. He's a club steward, not a sharper, and if you're smooth you'll treat him kindly and get a free meal.
It is good form to affect a carelessness in points of accurate knowledge and scholarship: to be accomplished rather than learned. This shows that you are a modern apostle of veneering, and not an antiquated stickler for brains.
Discipline is not the one thing commendable to the awkward squad. An a. s. man may become so well disciplined that he can't tour a drawing room without turning square corners. Natural refinement- 'ab!' that is it. Assume a little if you have it not.
Do not be obsequious or servile. The professor may know the last word on a subject, but he will be glad if you presume to know something. Agreement with the text or the teacher's view is not the ultimate end of the student. Cultivate your own mind; your instructor's may have gone to seed.
His individuality is the only thing a man can indisputably call his own. When he surrenders this he impeaches his manhood, and if he think to barter that for social advantages and distinction he prices himself cheap; for this is true at all times: The bird that trims his tail to suit the birdies makes but a runty feather duster.
New English Bulletin.
All students; whether returning or entering, will require copies of the English Bulletin revised for the year now beginning. Copies may be had on application at the general office of the University, and should be secured immediately, as they contain full instruction with reference to all English work; and especially that in themes and forensics.
Members of the Sophomore class may take note of the following corrections in Subject List A. Through an error in type-setting, the asterisks intended to designate exercises in invention have in several instances been misplaced, and the subjects numbered 79, 87, and 90 are not such exercises; while several that should be included are not marked. The exercises in invention are Nos. 3, 9, 14, 15, 43, 44, 57, 59, 80, 88, 91, and Nos. 1, 8, 10, 16, 30, 49, 56, 58, 61, 62 and 70 are similar in character, but require some preliminary reading.
