THERE HAS been considerable complaint about the dollar admission fee at the Thanksgiving game. The management argue that the proceeds from this game should support the team for a year, and if they think that more than half the people who would pay fifty cents will pay one dollar, it is good business policy and we cannot object. It requires considerable money to support a foot-ball team, and if the people who attend the games can be made to furnish this money and thus obviate the necessity of contributions, let it be done. Those who cannot afford to go can stay at
home. None one should go to the Thanksgiving game unless he has plenty of spending money. Other games are supposed to be held on the home grounds of one team or the other and it need cost one nothing but the admission fee. But on Thanksgiving we go to the city to have a big time, see the sights, blow in our money and come home bankrupt. And if our surplus is so low that we must think a second time before expending an extra fifty cents at the gate we had better remain at home.
PROF. HODDER'S paper on "The Making of Kansas," read before the Historical Seminary, attracted considerable attention. It is a topic in which nearly everyone should feel an interest; especially as a large part of the "making" took place upon ground within sight from the summit of Mt. Oread. It would be quite a pleasant undertaking for some one to search out and describe the historic landmarks about Lawrence and the results could be made quite entertaining and profitable for others. The columns of the WEEKLY are open to such contributions.
WE HAVE defeated Nebraska, we are glad of it and take pleasure in saying so. Our eleven may march up the street in the middle of the night, singing "Nobody knows how bad we are," but this is only a fiction. There are several people known to be in the secret. But the question now arises,—how "bad" are our orators in debate? Our rivals our training hard for the contest next spring and they would be exceeding glad to set a victory of brains against our victory of brawn. We defeated them last spring however, and we can do it again if we work hard enough. Those who intend to try for the "Varsity" must attend practice regularly in
