SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905
The question the faculty fear to hear these days is, "do you speak or sing?"
The Y. W. girls believe in advertising. There isn't a thing about the University, movable or immovable, that hasn't a notice of the County Fair pasted or pinned on it.
The Kansan is planning to get out the most elaborate special number ever gotten out by the University paper. It will be in magazine form with dark blue cover and design in red.
The friends of Malcolm McNaughton are glad to see him on the hill again. "Mac" has had a hard siege of it; for six weeks he has been bedfast with typhoid fever. It was exceptionally hard because "Mac" was making good at fullback on the 'Varsity when he was taken ill.
Although the Thanksgiving game is almost forgotten in Kansas circles, Missouri editors are still discussing the prospects of next year's team. Arthur Aull, of the Lamar Democrat, says, "If we were the head of the football department at M. S. U. we'd either get together eleven fellows who could walk down the field to the Jayhawkers' goal or we'd bankrupt the state treasury. The Tiger ought to either strew the gridiron with Jayhawker tailfeathers, or else return for good to the jungles."
We have more things than a successful football season to be thankful for as the season closes. We have the united support of the students for the athletic management and its policies, and we have the satisfaction of feeling that those policies are right, and these things will amount to more in the future than even the success of the team. Missouri students are divided into four or five factions over the questions which Kansas settled long ago: Student representation and strict adherence to conference rules. Those things
go a long way in making up the Kansas spirit that helps to win.
An Autumn Evening.
How beautiful an autumn eve,
How pure and still the air!
All nature seems at rest, and Peace
Seems reigning everywhere.
I hear the crickets chirping, still
Out 'neath the leaves so brown
All piled in heaps, a golden mass
The wind has shattered down.
And nearer comes the rumbling
wheels
Of wagons as at night,
The farmer slowly homeward comes
With face sunburned and bright.
No other sounds; and far above,
The clouds with fleecy crests
Grow darker until brightest tins.
Of crimson light the west.
Now timidly, a little star
Peeps out, to show its light;
Until abashed beside the moon's
Bright luster, takes its flight.
O beauteous autumn eve you have
Such thoughts and feelings brought
As lifes one to a higher sphere
To purer, nobler thoughts.
Has Had a Varied Life.
Wm. M. Reno of the class of '95, first Lieutenant of the Medical Corps of the U. S. Army, who is now stationed at Ft. Riley, talked to the newspaper students at 11:15 Wednesday on the Filippinos, their life and customs. Since graduating Mr. Reno has taught school, graduated from the Michigan college of Medicine and in 1900 became an army surgeon. He has travelled over a great part of the world and has vast experiences that are interestingly told. Mr. Reno was the editor of the K. U. Weekly in '95; before joining the army he conducted a newspaper in Mt. Pelier, Ohio, in conjunction with Frank Whitzel '94.
Alice Rose, 05, visited friends Friday and Saturday. She is teaching at Gas City.
Lost - A gold watch-fob with small locket attached. Finder will be liberally rewarded by leaving it at the office of The Kansan.
The Suit, Hat, and Overcoat must be right, of course, but it's the pretty Tie, the neat Shirt, the handsome Hosiery, and all the other "natty little fixin's" that trim a man up and make him appear well-dressed.
It's the "Trimmings" of a man's make-up that puts the finish on him.
All the "things" a man requires to make his outfit complete, are here.
The best to be had at live and let live prices.

Notice.
Several weeks ago the manager began sending the Kansan to all faculty members, as has been the custom in the past. All who did not care to be thus made subscribers were requested to so advise some member of the board. This notice is a gentle reminder that very few of these subscriptions have been paid.
