It is gratifying, to say the least, the way the presest KANSAN board is helping on the paper. They seem to be on the staff for only one purpose and that is to work. This is the right spirit and if it continues, there is no reason why, by the end of the year, the KANSAN should not be a representative college paper. If there is any one thing the present editor wishes to impress upon the reporters of the KANSAN, it is, that they have a vital concern in the paper, and that its welfare rests with them. Nor will it be a laborious duty to be on the KANSAN; a half hour a day, rightly used, will be all that can be asked. It is planned, if the board desires and the faculty committee consents, to allow towards the end of the year, two members of the staff in turn to get out a paper. This is the system used in the Eastern college dailies and is the best producer of newspaper ability.
There are at present some four or five cases of typhoid fever among the students of the University. Although this is a serious situation and one that calls for care and attention, no undue alarm need be felt. Prof Bailey and Dr. Hoxie are at present engaged in making an analysis of the water and milk used by the affected people and will, in a short time be able to give more definitely the cause of the infection.
In the meantime, the only safe course is to notice carefully the water supply of the various households where you eat or room. Prof. Bailey says that the safest water to use, as far as is known at present, is that furnished by the city.
Friday's chapel exercises were undoubtedly the best of the year; everybody felt good, from Chancellor Strong to the veriest freshman. The speakers were witty and there were no lessons to worry or make afraid.
The enthusiasm, the inspiration that is in the very air when
such a body of students assemble with one impulse and one emotion, is what makes a University.
GLEANED.
Baker students gave a grand imitation of President Roosevelt's inaugeration Monday night. They mock everything, down there, from a police court to King Edward's Coronation.
Can the oldest timer remember when it didn't rain when the Dramatic Club gave a play?
At the University of Chicago they have state clubs instead of county organizations. Iowa has the largest.
Spring is here for sure, the robins are back, the engineers are dabbling in paint, and the first girl with her sleeves rolled appeared on the hill the other day.
Anyway the laws say the nearest the engineers can come to having a building is by daubing paint on some one else's.
Daily the country is being wrecked or saved; the stentorian tones of debaters are ringing through the halls once more.
Some graft their way to ones, some look wise and get ones, some laugh their way into favor, and some draw ones by ancestry

FRATERNITY BASEBALL.
During the warm days the past two weeks baseball has taken the athletes attention. There will be much rivalry between the fraternities in baseball this year. Nearly all the fraternities will organize teams to play for the pennant.
In 1902 the Schmelzer Arms Co., of Kansas City offered a silver cup the fraternity winning the championship for three seasons.
Phi Delta Theta won the cup in 1902, Phi Kappa Psi won it in 1903 and strengthened their right to keep it permanently by defeating Phi Delta Theta decisively in 1904.
While the champions and their strong rivals both have prospects for better teams this year, Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi both claim that they will get their names on the cup this year.
