Just three weeks more and then --manager, yet we personally believe that the board is making a grave mistake in making this change in managership. During his few years as manager here, Mr. Plank has always stood for pure athletics, and while pure athletics no not always produce winning teams, yet we are firmly convinced that in the long run they pay.
Quiz week is approaching and the price of oil has advanced 12 cents a barrel; we wonder if there is any connection between these two facts.

Since the weather has become so warm, we suppose it is no longer reasonable to expect certain individuals, who are afflicted with "that tired feeling," to stand during the chapel devotional services.
Evidently Dr. Roberts of Missouri University, had not seen our campus at about four o'clock in the afternoon on a pleasant day, when he advised the students of this University not to cultivate the intellect at the expense of the heart.
"Considering the frequency that typographical mistakes occur in college papers, we are almost inclined to believe that the printer of the K. U. Kansan, in making two slight mistakes, changed the entire meaning of a sentence in the obituary write up of the sophomore class. Instead of "The pall bearers under Carl Young followed with the bier," the Kansan doubtless meant to say, "The pail bearers under Carl Young followed with the beer."—Washburn Review.
"Cap" Young is evidently well known outside of K. U. circles.

While we believe that the athletic board was acting for what it thought was the best interests of athletics at the University of Kansas in requesting the resignation of Mr. Plank as athletic
We acknowledge that Mr Plank has acted rather hastily at times and may have committed several serious blunders, but at the same time, we do not think that anybody else could have done any better under the circumstances. The position is a peculiarly hard one to fill, necessitating exceptionally brilliant financiering to make the ends meet, with athletics supported as they are at present and shrewd diplomacy to maintain the relations of the University with the neighboring schools For these reasons, we consider it unwise to turn the management over to a new man who would be a year at least, in learning the ropes, thus involving a serious set back to University athletics. So, as we have said before, we are in favor of retaining Mr. Plank, at least for another year.
--and an opportunity of visiting
The "cold water throwers" are busy. The blame for the apparently poor showing of our baseball and track teams is being thrown at the athletic management, the athletic board, and many are so ungenerous as to criticise the athletes themselves. Our athletes do not want criticism from their fellow students, they want encouragement and plenty of it. Not only do they need the good will and consideration of the student body, but also its financial support.
Every afternoon during the last ten weeks, thirty men have been training on McCook field. They are doing something for old K. U. If you appreciate their efforts, show it by attending the games and track meets.

Cornell University Medical College,
The course covering four years begins during the first week in October and continues until June. A preliminary training in natural science is of great advantage. All the classes are divided into small sections for recitations, laboratory and tutorial sessions. The courses cover all the topics necessary to pass the requisite examinations. The successful completion of the first year in any College or University recognized by the Regents of the State of New York as maintaining a satisfactory standard is sufficient to satisfy the requirements for admission to Cornell University Medical College. Each instructor will be unaided on application. Wm. m. Poik. N. t. L. D. Deam. Cornell University Medical College, 27th and 28th streets and First Avenue, N.Y. C
The Athletic Association realized only one hundred dollars from both the Colorado contests. That kind of attendance makes athletics a losing proposition when one hundred dollars a game is paid to each visiting team.
The track team is another expensive necessity. It cost twenty five dollars per man to send it to Colorado. We must have a track team and we must support it. It's up to the student body to spend the price of admission now and then, instead of being cheap enough to stay on the outside and throw cold water on the Athletic Board.
THE FRENCH ACTORS.
The French Department of the University will, on next Tuesday evening, May 16th, present two short plays entitled, "Edard et sa Cousine" and "La Fille bien Gardée." These plays will be given in Fraternal Aid Hall and are free to all. The participants have put in much time to make the evening a success, and there is no reason why the hall should not be filled on that date. The case of the first, "Edgard et sa Cousine," is composed of the following:
