Chancellor Frank Strong was recently elected a director of the Kansas State Historical Association.
It is taken for granted that Jesse A. Hoel, the Kansas University student who won a place in the national oratorical contest, was well drilled.-Kansas City Star
There is lately a decided increase in the membership in the Young Women's Christian Association and the number of sorority girls joining is surpassing all previous records. In one sorority there are reported only two members who are not members of the Association. This is not only commendable, and a display of the true spirit of the girls but is evidence of the undeniable good that can be obtained in the University Christian Associations.
The KANSAN extends the congratulations of the student body to Captain Hicks and the team of 1904. The record made by the Kansas eleven this season just closed is one to be proud of. Not only does the student body rejoice because of the victories but because of the manner in which they were won. The work of the Jayhawker aggregation of 1904 has been a revelation from the start and proves that honesty is best policy and that amateur football is the winning kind after all. At times support dragged but the KANSAN was behind the team from the word "go"and only regretted theseeming lack of interest at times on the part of the student body and above all the faculty. The band was a great help throughout the season and while one criticism appeared regarding the action of the band men at the same time we are all for the band. Too much credit cannot be given Coach Kennedy and Captain Hicks. Both names will live in the University for many, many years. Both mer have been faithful and honest at all times and the season's result tells the story that makes us all rejoice when we thing what is to come next year.
Inter-fraternity debates are for the best interests of the University. It is unnecessary to go to unreasonable extremes, neglect studies and sacrifice money and health. It is unwise and foolish to think of going to Chicago to train and of spending too much time to the detriment of other interests and studies. It should be followed out merely to the extent where the individual, the University and fraternity are best benefited.
Let these debates be under the supervision of a faculty student committee or let the work be of such a class that credit will be given. Raise it to that standard. Debating and literary work done under an instructor for the interests of the University is every bit as good and as practical as class work, therefore just credit is deserve1. It is a means of obtaining material and interesting more of the students in the debates.
(With apologies to the author of "There Was a Man in Our Town.")
There was a man in our club,
And Allen was his name.
Who worked so much with H $ _{2} $ S His clothes smelled of the same.
And when he found that this was so,
(He proved it with his nose)
He stood away at meal-times,
And aired out all his clothes.
If you are cheap don't go to Shelley for your Photos. His work is all first-class and must have the price.
