It's about time for the fellow who expects to go to Nebraska to begin laying plans. The seat sale begins at Lincoln tomorrow, and the Kansas block must be reserved within about ten days.
Colorado seems to be "Don's" hoodoo, for the game Saturday and the Colorado game last year are the only games the big tackle ever played that he failed to make a touch down. "Don" has played in thirty-six Varsity games, and never once has time been taken out for him-quite an unusual record.
The end of the week will see the usual number of young men rushing home to save their country with their votes. Despite the fact that this is strictly a non-partisan institution, the voters in the University have to be reckoned with. The political clubs amount to more than might at first thought appear.
Two new men will be in the Jayhawker squad at St. Louis next Saturday. They are "Billy" Rice, and Frank Griggs, both hard and consistent players. Neither of them is elegible under Chicago Conference rules to play this season, but there is no question as to their elegibility under Southern Conference rules which govern the St. Louis game. The manager and the coach are doing the right thing when they put them in. Griggs at quarter and Rice at full will materially strengthen the back field in a rough contest. We are not playing St. Louis under the rules that govern our other games-to put it plainly, we have everything to lose and nothing to gain in the way of glory. We will not compromise our standing in the least by availing ourselves of the terms of the contract.
The following suggestion from the Chicago Maroon strikes us as being very much to the point, and applicable here as well as at Chicago:
As to the matter of appropriate emblems for the classes, it has long been a matter of conviction that a badge of some sort should distinguish a student in the University of Chicago.
At Michigan every man wears
a maize "M" on his lapel. At Illinois it is an "I" in blue and yellow. At Chicago, it might very well take the form of a "C." There are a lot of unauthorized pins in existence, but a definite design must be selected and approved.
There is no thought of the desecration of the Varsity emblem, nor need there be such. The emblems at Illinois and Michigan are as jealously guarded as anywhere, and no one imagines that the initial is cheapened because it is worn in another form. Everyone is now familiar with what the lapel button stands for.
It is well worth while to be able to pick from the men one meets, the students of the same Alma Mater. This ability has undoubtedly done much for the unification of the Michigan and Illinois student bodies and the upbuilding of the university spirit. It would be well if the student councils, with perhaps the athletic department, give the matter consideration.
The Politician's Psalm.
The politician is my shepherd. I shall not want any good thing during campaign. He leadeth me unto Billy's for my vote's sake; he filleth my hand with ballots, with procs my pocket runneth over. He prepareth my ballot for me in the presence of my better judgment. Yea, though I walk from the library to vote for him, and shout myself hoarse when he is elected, straightway he forgetteth me. When I meet him in Fraser Hall he knoweth me not. Surely the wool has been pulled over my eyes all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of a chump forever.-Composed by a freshman two week's after election.
You are always welcome at Lee's.

Change in Credit System.
At a recent meeting of the representatives of the Kansas colleges and the University of Kansas, held in Topeka, it was agreed that in the future a uniform credit blank will be used. It was also agreed that hereafter high school students will be required to offer thirteen units to gain admission instead of twelve as heretofore, allowing but two conditional units to be made good after entrance. The total of fifteen units remains the same. This will necessitate the extension of three year high school courses to four. The high schools will be allowed two years in which to make the necessary changes.

It's Quite Frenchy!
This Coat will be a great favorite with smart dressers who want
The Overcoat of the Season will be the handsome, new French back Coat as shown by our illustration.
"The Thing"
It is cut single breasted with wide collar and rather deep lapels, a little over three-quarter length, form fitting at waist and bell bottom. The center vent is very deep and side seams are creased.
Taken as a whole, it is the swellest Overcoat that has been brought out for a long time.
We'll take great pleasure in showing this new-comer to men who appreciate a smart garment and want
The Coat of the Season.
