Kansas, Postoffice under the act of
Congress, March 3, 1879.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1907
Missouri and Oklahoma universities have both taken up the proposition of university emblems for their debaters. Both the Independent and the Umpire have been boasting the idea editorially for the last two weeks. The thing is bound to come, and the University of Kansas should not be behind. A gayel with the university letter seems to be the favored design both at Missouri and Oklahoma.
The most significant single fact that could be selected from the mass of things that make up the present University year is the unprecedented activity in the Young Men's Christian Association. Its membership is growing by leaps and bounds, and Secretary Hagerman does not hesitate to predict three hundred members by the first of the year—just double any previous membership. The reasons are not far to seek. The Association is doing things this year. It is taking a stand more in keeping with a college men's organization, and is showing its sympathy with every branch of University interests. It is no longer said that the Y. M. C. A. is a "narrow, prejudiced set," as has been said of it. The relation of the Association to the fraternities is largely responsible for the change. The general secretary is devoting a large part of his time to fraternity men, and he has classes in seven of the eight fraternities and meets them every week. The point of the whole matter is that the Association is breaking down a lot of prejudice, and is demonstrating by its eminently practical work that it has a place in the life of the University.
The Kansan will be delivered to any address for the rest of the year for fifty cents. This price is for mailing subscriptions, as well as for the city delivery by Carriers. Subscribe for your friends at home.

The University of Kansas endeavors to assist those of its graduates who desire to teach in securing positions, and at the same time be of service to high schools, academies and colleges which may be in need of competent instructors. To this end a committee of the faculty preserves a complete list and record of graduates who are engaged in teaching or have fitted themselves especially for such work. The University authorities are thus prepared at any time to recommend persons who are well qualified for any position that may be made vacant. In so doing, great care is exercised, the special qualifications of various teachers for the particular position in hand being in every case fully considered. Communication in regard to teachers should be addressed to the Chancellor.
"THE WEST AT HOME."
C. M. Harger to Write for The Outlook.
Charles Moreau Harger, director of the department of Journalism of the University of Kansas, will write during 1907 a series of articles for The Outlook under the general title. "The West at Home." Mr. Harger will make a cheerful and optimistic study of Middle Western life in intimate phases and with unconventional treatment. The social development of the West is quite as interesting as that of industries and population, and has never been adequately treated. All Mr. Harger's writing is marked by great sincerity and entertaining qualities. There will be three articles, entitled "In the Country," "In the Town," and "The Western Spirit."

The College Jeweler is doing
About forty freshmen fraternity men held a smoker at Fraternal Aid Hall last night. Coffee and sandwiches were served as refreshments, and the music was furnished by a quartette of negroes who sang, danced and played. The affair was such a success that a permanent organization was formed and plans made for several more such smokers. Milton Cain was elected president, and Paul Lobaugh, treasurer.
