The class politician has broken loose again, and for the next few weeks there will be something doing.
Circumstances beyond the control of the Kansan management delayed our mid-week delivery and made the paper a day late in reaching the subscribers. The mishap will not occur again.
For the benefit of the freshmen be it known that no one is plotting against them. Those sly and hurried "confabs" in the halls and on the campus have to do with something else than chains or the like.
Subscribers will usually get the first issue of the Kansan after their subscription is received unless it be on the day of publication. We want to know of any failure to get it, and will be glad to correct any errors.
Something should be done within the next few weeks looking to a thorough reorganization of the debating interests of the University. For several reasons it is imperative that it should be done at once. In the first place, Kansas has practically no debating schedule as yet, and any arrangements that can be made will be late enough, however promptly carried out. It has always been an element of weakness in our debates that preparation was put off until the opening of the spring term. A year is little enough time for such work. This fall, debates must be scheduled, preliminaries arranged and questions selected before any work of preparation can be done. More than that, it will probably be necessary to elect a student contingent to the Debating Council in the same way that the Athletic Board is chosen, before any real action can be taken. The old council of literary society representatives is manifestly a dead letter under the voluntary fee. It's time there is something doing.
Chancellor Strong made a splendid appeal to the University in his annual address to
new students yesterday morning. The address should be heeded, not only by new students, but by the upper classmen as well. His plea for a simpler social life in particular should be well considered. Kansans are not plutocrats; few of them are millionaires. The society of the University is in a way artificial—it is not a healthy growth from Kansas soil. Eastern institutions with much larger attendance and with a wealthier class of patrons have a much more reasonable social life. They have fewer and less pretentious parties. Fraternal organizations pay less attention to those affairs. Why should such different conditions exist in a western institution which should be the stronghold of healthy democratic spirit?
Marcella Howland Scholarship.
Owing to the resignation of the student appointed to the Marcella Howland Scholarship, a new appointment will be made for the present year. In addition to the applications placed in the hands of the committee in May, new applications will be received up to the first of October. Applications may be directed to the Chancellor of the University, or to Miss Galloo, the chairman of the committee. Further information will be found in the catalogue.

Student Rule at M. S. U.
The alumni association of Missouri University adopted resolutions at their meeting last summer recommending student representation on the Athletic board at that institution. Oneman rule has grown irksome, and the movement is in high favor. The scheme will be submitted to the Curators soon.
