AT LAST the WEEKLY has an office! not very large, not very sumptuously furnished; but yet an office, a place to go to and feel at home, and more than that a place to which others are invited to come and feel at home—if they can, on hard bottomed chairs and a bare floor.
But chiefly this room is to be a rendezvous for those who discover any items of news suitable for our local pages. We shall also be glad to meet here all downtrodden ones who have grievances to be righted, and any "cranks" who have hobbies which they wish displayed before the public, though we can not promise to become always the espousers of such causes. The room is located in the basement of the main building at the foot of the south stairway.
To our contemporaries in the field of college journalism we extend a cordial invitation to "exchange" with us. And in particular we wish to warn our Eastern friends, who have so far made no response to our advances in this direction, that they should not be too ready to entertain the opinion somewhat prevalent in their part of the country that no good thing can come out of Kansas. The report is utterly without foundation in fact as the WEEKLY itself intends to demonstrate.
WE APPRECIATE keenly the difficulty of a newly registered student of the class of 'oo who asked, the other day, how it came about that the McKinley club and Bryan club each had three hundred members, according to its own report, while the total number of young men enrolled in the University lacked considerable of being six hundred. The one to whom the question was put did not answer it. Doubtless he thought—and quite properly—that these things would make themselves plain to the young man soon enough; yes, all too soon.
Mt. OREAD, if used properly, is an excellent chest developer.
