Every Kansas University student and professor, who can possibly do so, should be in Convention hall at Kansas City next Friday night. This will make the fifth time that we have run, jumped, and hurdled with the Missourians. In three of these contests we have been beaten so badly that we were simply outclassed, but last year we took a remarkable advance and were beaten by only five points. If we increase in like proportion this year, and those who are wise say we bid fair to, we will win our first Track meet with M. S. U. on next Friday night. "The idea is" to be on hand when the event takes place.
At the last board meeting of the KANSAN it was unanimously voted that any member of the staff who absented himself from two consecutive board meetings without good excuse that such absents would count the same as a week of non-work. That is if a man tailed to attend two consecutive meetings and did not hand in any stuff for a week his name would be dropped from the staff. This was done because a creditable paper cannot be issued unless the workers can be seen at least once a week. The time of meeting has been so arranged that no one can have a good excuse for non-attendance.
The resignition of U. S. G. Plank as manager of athletics is a blow to those interests in the University of Kansas. For two years he has held a most trying position. He has not pleased all but he has come as near to doing it as that power is given to the ordinary mortal. Any differences he may have had with the Athletic Board, have been differences only of opinion and judgment. No one but regards him as scrupulously honest and his bitterest enemy never dared assail his veracity and integrity.
Who his successor will be or where he will come from, no one seems to know. But whoever he may be, athletic work cannot
start off as nicely next year as i we had the old manager back. It will take a year, anyway, for the new man to become acquainted with the ins and outs and the tact and diplomacy necessary to fill a position which makes a man a buffet between a board on one hand and the general student body on the other.
GLEANED.
A Student To His Allowance.
Ah Check, unkind reminder
Of the sums I know I owe
The times I might be having
If you didn't have to go,
To satisfy the clamor,
Of a most unruly band!
Each creditor, life saver,
Holds out a greedy hand.
I wonder as I feel you
How much money I will get
When I've met that hungry rabble,
When I've settled every debt,
I fear 't will be but little,
Then let me write home fyr more,
It's no wonder, is it, paper.
That my governor gets sore?

President Harper of the University of Chicago, in his annual report, advocates the abolition of Thanksgiving football games He says: "The abolition of Thanksgiving football games on western colleges is recommended. It is with reluctance and regret that Thanksgiving as a day for home turning and family reunions is being destroyed, and especially the attitude taken toward the matter by the colleges in destroying these characteristics. It is recommended that the last football game be held on Saturday preceding Thanksgiving, as at eastern colleges."
