SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1905
The Kansan opened its columns to political articles from both factions and for itself takes no responsibility for the matter contained in the contributions.
One of the features of the proposed reform last spring was the elimination of freshmen from the athletic board, yet each ticket has a freshman candidate. Why they are there, is obviously to get votes. Neither faction expects its freshman to get a place, hardly desires it. But neither party had the courage to put up a ticket on which the '09ers were not represented. Just consider for a moment that the freshmen will be elected. Then you have a boy, not out of his teens, who has been in the University barely four weeks and you send him into a council to have the right to vote and decide the policy of the University along with Judge Green, Professor Abbot, or Professor Sterling.
The students who are on that athletic board must be men, not boys, not people who can pull votes. If this is done there will no longer be any wail "that the student members of the athletic board have no influence."
This talk about resumption of athletic relations with the U. of Nebraska is the veriest nonsense. It makes good campaign talk but that is all. Any one who will take the trouble to look into the correspondence that preceded the break cannot but say that Judge Green and the men on the board at that time did the only thing consistent with the honor of the University. These freshmen and sophomores who are shouting for resumption of relations can be excused—they don't know any better, but if they had been in the University at that time and knew how the students upheld our board in its action they would have different opinions. It might also be recalled that all advances in an un-official way looking towards a resumption of relations have been steadily ignored by Nebraska. If you believe that Kansas
should get upon the bended knee to Nebraska and probably then have her offer refused, talk for resumption of relations. If you believe that we have honor and dignity of our own that should be maintained, your influence will be exerted otherwise.
Some weeks ago the senior class voted to give the proceeds of the senior class play and annual to the students' loan fund. What the students' loan fund was probably not more than ten people at that time knew. Since then the Kansan has investigated and found that the fund consists of a $1,000 or $12-00 which is loaned to upper classmen at 4 per cent interest on a well secured note.
-
The Kansan is not infavor of putting the $500 or $600 that may be derived from the play and annual into this fund, because it can be placed where it will bring vastly more honor and glory to the class and yet do fully as much good in the end.
Why not endow a scholarship or do something towards beautifying the campus? Then it would be brought to the minds of succeeding generations what the class of '06 did, and the people who do the work would not feel that they have done something that will never be known and probably not appreciated. The loan fund is all right and has done much good, but, as a senior remarked the other day, "I had been here four years and I never knew there was such a thing and I probably had as much need of it as any one." The class of '06 wants to do the thing that will make it known and remembeered above other classes.
