All signs point to an all victorious team. Not since Yost's Invincibles of '99 has Kansas boasted a never defeated team. But get ready for it, it's coming again this year.
The defeat of the Haskell Indians by the proteges of Benny Owens means that Kansas will have no easy victory Saturday. Come out and let's do some organized "rooting".
Judge Green says he understood that the new movement was intended to do away with politics in the athletic election. It was not to do away with politics, Judge, but simply to purify politics.
A better matured political fight, than the one that closes today, never took place on Oread. Partisans of both factions agreed that the opposition candidates were good fellows and were simply unfortunate by being on the wrong ticket.
Now that the athletic election has been reformed why not begin on the debating system? Let the debating council be composed of four students and four faculty members, with the Chancellor as presiding officer. Have the student members chosen by the whole student body.
The spirit of reform is abroad, in the nation, in the state, in the municipality, in the university. It's everywhere. Is it a square deal, is it the fair thing, are the questions asked in every convention and in every caucus. Swift and certain comes the rebuke to the men who fail to take these questions into consideration. The reformer is in vogue.
Those who were at Emporia Saturday, say that they found a state of enthusiasm there truly remarkable. The girls were out with pennants, megaphones and canes while the boys were simply a crowd of yelling demons. They had songs for the occasion which they sang until the whistle blew for the last down. When K. U. went off the field her yell
was given loud and long by the Normal supporters. Let's do the same by Oklahoma Saturday.
Notice to the Faculty.
The manager of The Kansan has placed every member of the faculty on the subscription list for this year. He trusts that in doing this he is not overly presumptuous. In the past The Kansan has received most liberal support at your hands, and unless he is notified to the contrary he shall expect the same support during the present year. If for any reason you do not wish to take the paper you will confer a favor on the manager if you will notify him at once of the fact so that he may act accordingly.
The present board will try to make it worth your while to do so. Unless they have done this, the manager cannot ask for your subscriptions.
Chancellor Frank Strong, of the University of Kansas, will represent the University this week at the installation of Edmund Janes James as President of the University of Illinois-On Wednesday, the 18th, Dr. Strong will respond for western universities at the roll call of delegates. On Thursday he will address the general convocation of students and faculty.
Mr. H.H. Johnson, engineer 1894, is visiting his parents in Lawrence. Mr. Johnson has been in the Indian service for ten years and is now agent for the Jicarilla Apaches; his headquarters are at Dulce, New Mexico.

Some new apparatus has been received at the gymnasium this week from the Narragansett Machine Co., at Providence, Rhode Island. The new apparatus consists of a Swedish ladder, some practice wooden sabres and a gun-like arrangement to be used for bayonet work.
The Y. W.C.A. girls are very much gratified by the ready enthusiasm shown by the University girls in regard to the new rest room. The response to requests for donations has been very prompt. The room is now papered, painted and carpeted. A few chairs have been placed in it, and other furniture will follow.
Professor Laurence Fassler of the University of Nebraska, will deliver two addresses before the students of the German department of the University of Kansas on October 27.
ABOUT SOME PEOPLE.
The exact location of the gymnasium has just been decided. It will stand 170 feet west of the shops, on the edge of the hill. There will be a swimming pool large enough to play water polo in the basement, which will be completed by Christmas 1906.
The medical department has received some modeling clay which the freshmen are using to model the bones of the human skeleton. This clay is very expensive and is prepared by the Chavant Manufacturing Company, of Jersey City, New Jersey.
Professor Paul H. Grummann, of the University of Nebraska, will deliver two lectures, one in German and one in English, before the students of the University of Kansas on November 3.
Professor Haworth, of the Geology department, read a paper on the comparative value of fuels, before the Kansas Gas Water, Electric Light and Street Railway Association at Kansas City, Kansas, Saturday.
