THE NEW scheme of checking hats, wraps and umbrellas is a good one. Men's hats are so very much alike that they are likely to become mixed up. Thus unfair exchanges and total losses are frequent. The difficulty of confusion is to obviated by the institution of a check stand. The individual expense of maintaining such an adjunct is ten cents per month.
THIS SEASON, for almost the first time in the history of athletics at Kansas University, the association will have no base ball debt to meet.
THE POLL-LIST of the voters at last Friday's election shows a goodly increase in the number of shareholders in THE WEEKLY COMPANY. Next year the student body ought to be thoroughly recanvassed for subscriptions to the college paper. Out of one thousand students only about three hundred subscribe for The Weekly. Aside from its intrinsic worth the paper deserves unstinted support as the only officially recognized weekly publication at the University. This it has not had; in consequence whereof it has not been truly exponential of the magnitude of the institution which it represents. The editorial board-elect promises regeneration.
It is very earnestly desired that a greater number of students should stay at the University until after commencement. It has been the custom for most of the students, except of course the Seniors, to leave for home as soon as the final examinations are over, thus causing all the familiar places to have a deserted look at the time when the parents and friends of the graduates are here during commencement week. This practice has become so customary that lower classmen almost invariably leave as a matter of course without ever reflecting that they might gain some profit as well as amusement by staying for the closing exercises. The matter of expense can surely carry little weight, for that would be but little extra for five days.
