Musical organizations are a good thing for a University just as a football team or a good faculty or a loyal student body is. In going over the state representative musical clubs of a college create a good or bad impression that is very lasting and does unlimited good or harm to an institution. The conduct of the men while on the trips also adds much to the reputation they make for their college in the towns visitel. Clubs sent out in years gone by have received some harsh criticism and some that was injurious to the University. This should not happen, and with the clubs that tour the state this year, the University of Kansas will get a reputation as a place where good clean gentlemen are educated and not a place where rich parents send their sons to sow wild oats. These clubs deserve the support of the student body and when they give a concert, they deserve a large audience and a representative one.
The Glee Club concert was a credit to any institution in America and the evening's entertainment was a better one than the average professional troupe gives for double the price. This year's glee club is made up of good representative University men and the trip that they will make will be a good thing for the University both now and in years to come. The men will also receive no little benefit from the trip. In their dress suits, which on them are good things in the proper place, the University of Kansas Glee Club makes an appearance that does itself much credit. The members are to be congratulated upon their work and upon the program they render and upon the appearance they make.
The most imperative of the present needs of the University is a new gymnasium. The "Gym," in present use is small and poorly equipped, and is entirely inadequate to the needs of the University. As the number of students increases so also should the equipment of the college increase. In other large institutions the gymnasiums are large buildings fully supplied with exery modern apparatus, and are open all day and late at night for the use of the students. Our "Gym." is a discredit to the University and State Auditor Wells surely did not understand the circumstances fully when he refused to recommend an appropriation for a new one.
K. U. is amply blessed with college songs We have our jolly songs, those that are sung on a hay-rake rile, and our really good songs, which we sing in chapel. This latter includes "The Crimson and the Blue," "The Rock Chalk Song." and "Away Out West in Kansas," and it is these that should receive more attention. Why not, when we have them, sing one of these songs at every Friday morning chapel exercises? There is nothing that arouses such enthusiasm or binds the students together so closely as does the singing of college songs.

POOR WATER SERVICE.
The city water supply failed Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. m. and was not turned on again until 5:00 p.m. This was a great inconvenience to many who expected to work in the Chemical laboratory and those making up back work, and to many of the faculty who wished to do experimental work. The failure of the water supply is becoming a frequent and unpleasant occurrence.

THE CHANCELLOR'S FOOTBALL VIEWS.
Chancellor Strong reviewed the work of the football team during the past season in Chapel Tuesday.
He said, "This season has been the most successful football season K. U. has had for many years. It is not only a victorious season but a season of clean athletics."
"The men who have sacrificed their time and strength to this end should receive the thanks of everyone connected with the University."
"The scholarship and character of the players of this year's team is above the average. The University is proud of the team and their record. K. U. athletics have been placed on a clean basis."
The presenting of the "K's" will be made a State occasion and an unusually large assembly of students this year is expected
