Subscribers of the Kansan who have not paid their subscription for this year will confer a favor on the business department of the paper if they will pay up at once. The subscriptions are long past due, and are needed to conduct the paper the rest of the year. Please pay up and spare us the necessity of "dunning" for the money.
The Annual Music Festival on Friday and Saturday of this week is one of the big events of the school year, and merits your heartiest support. It promises to excel the performance of last year in every respect. The Innes band is now at the top of its class, and all the home talent parts of the programs are splendid. Keep Friday and Saturday open for the Festival.
The Athletic Association at Minnesota held a giant mass meeting the other day to protest against the action of the University Council in abridging the powers of the association as set forth in its constitution. The principle of student control of such affairs must in general be observed so long as the students show themselves responsible and fair minded in their actions. Not only is it a matter of right, but it is absolutely essential to even a measure of success in those activities. Students must feel that such things are outside the dictation of an extraneous power before they will take the personal interest in them that is necessary to enthusiasm and success.
It is now up to the individual colleges and universities of the the country to decide whether they want to turn the national college sport into an open-air basket ball game, or whether
they will play the game as it has been played in the last few years. While it is no doubt true that some of the objections urged against the game are valid and to be given full consideration, it is also true that the majority of us are inconsistent enough to fight for keeping the old form of the game. Many institutions will beyond doubt, refuse to follow the lead of the national rules, and it seems that nearly all the middle western teams are to be found in this class. The standard that has been maintained for the game here makes us rather intolerant of the brutality talk which has played such a considerable part in the discussions.
The big figure sevens that were pasted on all the walks of the hill and the nearby streets this week advertising the music festival on the seventh of the month caused quite a commotion among some of the University authorities who were not next to the purpose of the posters. Thinking they were class numerals, the janitors were put at work scrubbing them off the landscape as fast as possible. When the purpose was made known it was decided that they would be allowed to serve the mission for which they were intended.
Nebraska is torn by dissention precipitated by the purchase of a number of cuspidors for the law building. The law students are trying to prove that they are not the only ones in the institution who use and need the new articles of furniture.
The debating association at Minnesota will give a course of three lectures this year to make up the deficit in the accounts of the association.

To the Editor of the Kansan;
In connection with the recent election of student representatives, it is generally reported that a number of individuals boast of having voted two, three, or even more, times. If such boasts are made only for notoriety, and are not true, they deserve only the deepest contempt, but if true, such action should be resented as dishonesty toward the student body as individuals, and toward the University as an institution. Such action in affairs of state is a grave crime and is punishable by fine and imprisonment. Even now we hear the warning words of Chancellor Strong: "Young man you cannot expect to live one kind of live in the University, and another kind after you leave it."
We are glad to see so strong indignation felt among the students as a whole, against such reported action, and we trust it may be so strongly expressed that no one in the future dare provoke it.
