Politics is still the absorbing theme, but there seem to be signs of a better day to come.
Mosquitos have ceased to be the center of attraction since the politicians broke loose, and they are just as bad as ever too.
Dr. Sudler's dissertation on boiled water, recalls the instance of the maiden lady of uncertain age who preferred to be "an aquarium rather than a cemetery."
Are girls lacking in school spirit? Or do they constitute a special class, exempt from such things? To date we have barely a score of women on our subscription list. Leave your name and address with the Y.W.C.A., in company with one dollar, and get the Kansan twice every week during the year.
A movement is now on to reorganize debating interests by the election of a new debating council, similar in its make-up to the athletic board, and to be selected at the same time. When the time comes to adopt the new constitution, which will be soon, every student in sympathy with debates should be on hand to vote on it. Membership in the debating association will probably depend upon the payment of the fee, just as it does in the athletic association at present.
Dr. Sudler, in his talk on health conditions yesterday, revealed a case of criminal carelessness on the part of the Lawrence water company that should call forth such severe censure as to make it impossible to continue the practice. The facts are: The water company, whenever their wells fail to supply enough water, pump water directly from the river into their reservoir, and into the water supply of the whole town. The water of the Kaw is always loaded with bacteria, and is especially likely to contain typhoid germs. The very least that the company owes to the public is the duty to give notice in advance of any such action. Deliberate disregard of the public welfare should be
ground enough to put a corporation out of business if it persists in its course of action. If the University means anything to the city of Lawrence, it's up to the "city dads" to force a change.
A Correction.
Through misinformation the Kansan gave some wrong impressions in the article headed "Juniors Get Busy," and as we are informed, in "Politics to the Front." In the Junior class there was no organized opposition to the barb ticket, as was presumed in the article, and several fraternities supported it. We are informed that with the exception of one place, the Pan-Hellenic ticket, so called, in the Senior class was named last spring in a caucus controlled by non-fraternity men, and the other fraternities supported it in preference to the ticket supported by the Betas.

Miss Eulalia Walling of the Physiology Department of the University of Kansas, will occupy Mrs. Gov. Robinson's research laboratory at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory, Massachusetts, during the summer of 1907. This laboratory is supported by Mrs. Robinson for the purpose of enabling advanced students of the University of Kansas to pursue scientific work at the finest marine laboratory in America. This enables the University to better equip the biological teachers who will occupy positions in the public schools of the state.
Athenian Senate Election.
