Wirt G. McCarty at present Editor-in-Chief of the KANSAN is seriously ill at his home in Emporia, so this issue has been gotten out by men more or less new in the newspaper business.
We would like to go against Michigan on the gridiron with the team, or one just as good, that we had last year for instance—just to see how hard we could make them work.
Here is an idea for some aspiring student of the law: Form a law firm to practice before the Deans of the various schools, guarantee to your clients that you can get pardon for any amount of flunkes and secure permission to take any number of studies, from two and one-half to six. It would be a winner, besides a service to humanity.
Professor Miller in his article in the Graduate Magazine for this month says, that in the early days, no University function was complete without a song by Ex-Chancellor Snow. His favorite on these occasions was a melody running:
"Noah he did build an ark,
"Noah he did build an ark,
He made it out of hickory bark;
The animals went in two by two.
The elephant and the kangaroo."
More people have asked for four studies in the college than ever before in the history of the University. The psychological reason for this is a problem. Whether there is an epidemic of desire for mental strenuosity sweeping through the student body, or whether it has been discovered that by making the proper combination four studies can be carried with ease, is not known.
Kansas has only two debates this year and if the right men are gotten into the preliminaries no trouble should be found in winning both of them. Debating is the only University enterprise which does not receive the support it should from both
students and faculty.
A man on the football team feels that the whole University is back of him and will celebrate his victory or mourn his defeat. But in the debating work there is complete apathy, no enthusiasm, no spirit—nothing which would cause a man to in any way exert himself. It is this that has caused our best and strongest debaters to drop out of the work after a one year's trial.

If the KANSAN ever is reorganized, if the merit system ever is installed and newspapermaking in the University of Kansas reduced to a science it will not be difficult to find the man to whom honor is due for bringing it about. Professor Hopkins has labored and worked to bring that about with an ardor and enthusiasm shown by few men in any undertaking. This has been done under difficulties too, warring factions in board meetings, apathetic stockholders, and negligent printers have threatened at any time to undo all his work.
SOME THOUGHTS ON EXAM. WEEK.
We would like to be a girl during quiz week. They have such an easy, natural, uninsinuating way of "working a Prof."
There will probably be the usual number go home to help father in his business next term.
We have noticed that the person, who wails, "I know I flunked" the longest and loudest, is probably the only member of the class to draw a one.
Oh! for more of those old-fashioned professors who say, "Well you have worked hard this term, so I guess we won't have any final quiz. Come up Friday and we will talk over the work for next term."
