A ball won't roll down hill unless some good fellows make the move The modesty of the band men prevent them from taking the initiative There is no excuse for not having uniforms. One concert well attended would pay for all of the uniforms needed.
When you go home Christmas don't forget to tell every high school senior you meet that the university is the only place in the state for him to go to school, her too.
An editor of the KANSAN holds office for two terms or one year. About the time that he gets things to working smoothly, and finds his most competent helpers his term ends and then another has to grind part of his life away writing copy and worrying his hair gray.
Why not buy band uniforms? Nearly every college and university in this section of the country that has a band has uniforms to help the brass instrument men. Baker University of Baldwin is giving a series of oyster suppers for the purpose of buying band uniforms. Why wouldn't it be a good idea to give a combination concert, the Band, the Orchestra, the Mandolin and Glee clubs, on the last day of this term and use the proceeds for buying band uniforms?
The action of certain sororities regarding Sunday dinners at fraternity houses appears almost ridiculous when viewed from the ordinary standpoint. It seems that eastern customs and forms are wanted by some of the "vogueish" more than anything else. They seem to be more after form than what would appear to be good, honest, honorable pleasure. There are not three independent girls in Lawrence that would be afraid to trust themselves together in any fraternity house on Sunday. The sorority girls seem a little inclined to be fearful lest certain extreme southern and eastern customs will not prevail here.
While it would probably be a wise rule for an editor on the KANSAN to hold office one year there would probably be one man in ten that would do it. It is certain too that he would be dead broke and working for glory or would be such an experienced hand at the business that running a university paper would probably be an easy job for him. It takes on an average of three hours a day.
The election of Arthur Pooler for captain of the 1905 team is the best choice that could have been made. No better man could be found for the place nor one more deserving. Pooler has been of the most faithful, always going to his work with a will, and never making a complaint nor trying to display his knowledge of the game in preference to the coach's knowledge. In his three years in Lawrence the Beloit boy has won many friends and his friends in the University are especially numerous. With Pooler as the leader of the 1905 eleven Kansas should have an ever victorious aggregation. It is for every student and faculty member to support Pooler and Pooler's men.

With the football season at an end, athletes in the University turn their thoughts toward basketball as the next sport to engage their attention. The prospects for the game this year are very bright, but the team deserves more support than it has received from the student body in the past. Basket ball is a game with as much science in it as there is in football, and ignorance of the fine points of the game is all that keeps the student body from showing a lively interest in the sport. One never enjoys his first game of football, and the same is true of the game under discussion. It is to be hoped that this year the game here will be better supported than it has in the past.
Reports come from several western colleges of brutal hazings in which injuries of a very serious nature were inflicted on Freshman. In one case a Freshman was said to have been strip ped, painted and thrown into a river, from which he was dragged nearly dead. The offenders were punished severely, but that didn't help the injured one. Hazing in the East is no longer the fashion. The time was when the Sophmore felt his duty had not been done to the Freshman if he did not show him his inferiority in some way, and sometimes the ways were not mild. But that time has passed. At Yale this year at the opening of college there was practically no hazing of any sort. For the last few years even the mildest forms, such as verandah and billiard table oratory, has been declining. After the wrestling on the Campus, the Freshmen lived up to tradition by rushing up and down York street in front of Pierson Hall a few times, but the Sophomores were hardly more than interested spectators —Yale Alumni Weeckly.

The question is-"Will K. U. sorority girls expect a fellow to come after them in a cab to take them to Sunday dinners at a fraternity house?" At least evening suits and hats will be expected next year.
