Now that the Chancellor has vetoed the proposition to depose the present athletic board, Doctor Van Der Vries sleeps normally once more.
Go to the meeting of the Athletic Association prepared to reform in the most conservative way the things that need reform most badly.
We really feel that we ought to have had Baker on our football schedule next fall. They are about the only sectarian school in the state that was missed.
If our boys were not total abstainers, there might be some connection between those twelve errors in the last game at Golden, Colorado, and the fact that a brewery is located there.
The KANSAN doesn't want to have the reputation of a knocker, but the man that wouldn't knock on that football schedule for next fall certainly has little in common with the student body in general.
The Russians have about agreed not to have any May Day riots. They have probably heard how well the Kansas University students behaved on our May Day, and have determined to follow the good example, and shed no blood. Lawrence Gazette.
The committee of students having the amendments to the constitution of the Athletic Association in charge, visited the Chancellor Monday in order to ascertain his views on the matter. He expressed himself as opposed to students as managers because the outside business world does not consider them responsible enough. His idea is to have a director of athletics, paid by the
University proper and by the Athletic Association, who will have all the details connected with athletics in charge, and the work of the Athletic Board will be more or less perfunctory.
If all the proposed amendments do not carrp there are at least several that should. Those making the membership in the association open to all students in the University on payment of a small fee, that each student must buy his ticket in person, thus doing away with the buying of two or three hundred memberships at the last moment by some faction; that all candidates must be upperclassmen; that there should be spring elections and there should be an equal number of professors and students with the Chancellor to have he deciding vote, are a few of them.
This system will depend for its success on the man chosen for the position, and will do away with the present way, if anything goes wrong, of the Board blaming the Manager and the Manager blaming the Board.
