WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 4, 1905
The freshman football team is doing good enough work to deserve a training table.
There are 148 factions in the senior class. The class numbers 149. One member is a cripple and hasn't been able to get around and get a machine organized.
The making of everybody members of the Athletic Association should insure the election of the best men to that board. At least no undue influence can be used in support of any one man.
The editor of the Lawyer in the October number, got out his hammer and went after the way debating and debaters are received in the University. The Kansan is with you, brother, for a reform of the present system.
The fraternities are not supporting the Kansan by subscriptions as they used to the old Weekly. We may not have as good a paper as formerly but we believe it is half as good anyway. Each fraternity used to have from fourteen to twenty five subscriptions; now they will not average ten.
It is proposed next year to levy a general student assessment, the paying of which will make a student a member of the University association and entitle him to vote for members of the athletic board and also of the debating council. This will be placing the two great forms of University activity on equal footing.
The senior class established a precedent Monday when it voted to give the proceeds of the play and annual to the student loan fund. But there are many things to be done if the new system is to succeed. The managers must be given a board to help in the work and this board must be responsible for the financial side. The proposition to make the class as a whole responsible by pledging so much individually is a delightful theory, but we distinctly remember two years ago
when a certain class vociferously pledged itself to pay the fines of certain men who had been unjustly haled before a police judge. We also recall that there are divers amounts of that unpaid today. The class of '06 does not want to be in the position that the last year's class of Minnesota University is in at present where thirty members of the class are being sued for $850 by the publishers of the annual.
The Registrar of the University of Kansas has made a complete record of the church affiliations of all the students in the University at Lawrence and finds that the Methodist church leads with 209 members and an additional 140 who express preference for that church. Then follow in order: Presbyterian, 155 members, 106 prefer; Congregational, 70 members, 65 prefer; Christian, 66 members, 25 prefer; Episcopal, 61 members, 24 prefer; Baptist, 53 members, 32 prefer; Lutheran, 26 members, 9 prefer; United Presbyterian, 18 members; Friends, 9 members, 3 prefer; United Brethren, 8 members, 3 prefer; German Reformed, 7 members; Christian Science, 5 members, 2 prefer; Mennonite, 2 members; Adventist, 2 members; Evangelical, 1 member; Christian Catholic, 1 member; New Jerusalem, 1 member, 1 prefers; Swedenborgian, 1 member; Dunkard, 1 member; Calvinistic, 1 member; Latter Day Saints, 1 member; Universalist, 3 members; Hebrew, 2 members, 4 prefer; Unitarian, 3 members, 10 prefer; Catholic, 26 members, 9 prefer; students expressing no preference, 165. This tabulation shows that $ 87 \frac{1}{2} $ per cent of the students in the State University have definite church preferences.
Nathan Miller, the aged janitor, is recovering from the stroke of paralysis that prostrated him some weeks ago and he will be back at his duties in a few days.

Gets New Apparatus.
The chemistry department has just received a shipment of various laboratory fabrics from Bedarf, of Berlin, Importers—a "Trust" composed of several leading German firms. The value of this importation is nearly $2400. This is a little more than half what the same apparatus would cost anybody except a school or college. The difference lies in the fact that schools can import apparatus duty-free.
The importation consists mostly of general laboratory glass ware, beakers, flasks, cylinders, etc. A number of pieces of apparatus, made of melted quartz, are among the very valuable novelties. These are made from quartz or rock-crystal worked before an oxy-hydrogen blowpipe. Their value lies in the very high melting point and the resistance to fracture on sudden changes of temperature.
A New Coach.
Martin Delaney, director of the Kansas City Athletic Club, was in town last week, trying to arrange a game with K. U. for October 14. The State Normal is scheduled for that date, but is not living up to the freshman eligibility rule and it is probable that some other team will be played on that date. The Athletic Board did not consider Mr. Delaney's proposition as it is K.U.'s policy to play only university and college teams.
