"K. S. U." STRONG.
Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk!
K! U!
The first issue of the WEEKLY would be incomplete without a column or two concerning Chancellor Strong. So believing that all who know or have heard of him desire to learn something of his life, we shall reprint extracts from a sketch of Mr. Strong, prepared by Prof. Blackmar.
Chancellor Strong was born in Venice, New York, and was fitted for Yale College at Auburn High School. He graduated from the academic department of Yale in June, 1884, ranking well up in class. While in college he occasionally wrote for the Yale Literary Magazine and the Yale News, and took several composition prizes. He was also identified with the musical interests of the college as a member of the Glee Club of which he was bass soloist in 1884. For three years he was a member of the Calvary Baptist church choir which won considerable distinction in New England.
Subsequently Dr. Strong came to Kansas City where he practiced law until 1888 when he became principal of the St. Joseph, Mo., High School. After four years of this service he went to Lincoln, Neb., where he was superintendent of the Lincoln schools until 1895. During the last year he was first vice-president of the Nebraska State Association of Superintendents and Principals. The years of 1895-97 were spent in graduate study at Yale, at the close of which he received the degree of Ph. D., having previously, in 1883, received the degree of M. A. In 1897, Dr. Strong was appointed lecturer in History at Yale where his classes were wholly made up of graduate students. His lectures were very popular.
After graduation Dr. Strong entered the Yale Law School and by severe work completed the two years' course in one year. In June, 1885, he was awarded the John A. Porter prize on an essay. After graduation he continued his law studies with Hon. S. E. Payne of Auburn, now chairman of the waws and means committee of the House of Representatives, until he was admitted to the bar at Rochester, October, 1886.
In the spring of 1899 Dr. Strong was elected president of the University of Oregon, assuming his duties in the fall of the same year. The University was in need of reorganization and expansion, and he has been able to effect a great change in the way of transformation during the short period of three years. He united the state in support of the University as it had not been done before. He brought all of the educational forces of the state into unity, and raised the standard of the school work with the University at the head. He held the respect and confidence of the students and Faculty, and was peculiarly fortunate in winning the seat first and holding them. The number of students has nearly doubled, making necessary the addition of seven new instructors. Dr. Strong has been much sought as a speaker, and has thus been brought into close personal touch with the educators throughout the state.
While at Yale, and afterwards. Dr. Strong found time to write for the magazines and has published two books, "Life of Benjamin Franklin." and "Government of the American People." The former was published by the University Association of Chicago, while Dr. Strong was at Vale; and the latter by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., in 1901. In the latter he was associated with Prof. Joseph Schafer, head of the department of history of the University of Oregon. It has received much favorable comment. Space will not permit an extended reference to these nor to the magazine articles which are marked with thoroughness of scholarship.
In the spring of 1902, the Regents of the University of Kansas, after a long and careful consideration of many candidates, chose Dr. Strong Chancellor of the University. About the first of August the chancellor arrived at Lawrence and began a careful examination of the University, preparatory to the more vigorous work of the coming term. He has made a good impression on students, instructors and the citizens with whom he has come in contact. As an educator he is intensely earnest and as the head of the University he will leave no stone unturned in pushing the institution to the foremost rank of Universities of its class. While he has begun his work in a business like way, he has not talked much about his policy except to assert that he intends to adopt a strong centralized policy in the management of the University. This strong policy of leadership is just what the University needs. But in this he will not interfere with the work of the faculty in the management of the internal affairs of the University. Indeed he intimated that he would throw more responsibility upon the deans and heads of the departments rather than less in the educational management. In this and in other plans as they develop he may be assured of the loyal support of the members of the faculty and the enthusiastic support of the entire student body.
NO. 1.
IS.
Chancellor Strong will prove a wise counselor and a firm friend of students. He is in favor of wholesome athletics, and believes that the University through its faculty and students must be of positive and specific service to the community and the state. He believes that the University exists not for the faculty but for the people.
Chancellor Strong has now been with us one year, and has more than proven the statements made by Prof. Blackmar. Through all his dealings with the students he has won their absolute confidence. Their interests have been his interests. The students believe in him. The Chancellor is determined to bring The University of Kansas to the front, and he is doing it. Wherever he needs the students' help, he can rest assured he will get it.

The outlook for a strong team is bright. Many of the men on last year's team will return and new men are coming in one by one. The players on hand are working on McCook every afternoon. Plank, our new manager, is a man of much experience and business ability. He has entered into his work with a commendable spirit, and deserves the full support of the students.
November 26.—Missouri at Kansas City.
Is the schedule a winner? If it isn't, the Athletic Association is not to blame, for it made all its engagements with that end in view. A sucessful schedule not only means good games, but profitable games also. This season's schedule contains many exceptionally fine games, arranged in nice order, beginning with Emporia, and ending with Missouri. Most of the games are on Saturday. This means a large attendance, and money. Money creates a fine spirit, and insures a well-equipped team. Every student ought to buy a season ticket and consider himself winner.
And there is Coach Weeks. With the opening of the college year there is no man around whom centers more interest than the football coach. A winning team is the pride of every healthy student, and the responsibility of developing such a team rests largely upon the coach. Harrison S. Weeks was born at Allegan, Michigan, in 1879. He entered the Law school at the University of Michigan in 1899, receiving his degree in 1902. His last year included considerable work in the academic department, where he won honors for himself. Coach Weeks is a student in every sense of the word.
All lovers of football have heard of Michigan. It was the first western college to adopt the royal sport, and the game has practically grown up with the in-

THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY returns to school this year determined to make itself of more interest to the students and all concerned. With our University and our Chancel or, our faculty and our students there is no reason why our college publication should not be a most valuable paper and it is the intention of the new editorial staff to make it so. The WEEKLY sends greeting to all its readers and promises that it shall bend every effort to give them their money's worth.

IT IS scarcely necessary to remind the students how valuable a part of college life is the contact with the intangible something, which for want of a better name, we call college spirit. College publications, if they are doing their work, furriish perhaps as good a mirror of college spirit as can be found and the WEEKLY invites its friends to make use of its exchange columns and through them to get acquainted with the happenings at the University of Kansas and all other great universities.
T $ ^{c} $
TO THE Freshmen we send greeting and also a little advise. We want them to understand that the successful student must be a hunter—one who is not afraid of work, who goes ahead and just plows right on without hesitating one moment. We want the fellow who wants to accomplish something, who says boldly, "I will do that," and then does it. Young student, if you lack forwardness in this way, start right sow and do it. You envy the man who accomplishes results, but did you ever stop to consider that the same possibility lies within your power? In your very hands? In your very heads? Once we get started, we are all right, for we soon find out that the task is not as difficult as we at first supposed, and it is surprising to learn how much easier it becomes as we go onward. Many of us need a push and some an extra hard one.
THE college boys who assisted in the Kansas harvest fields should compare notes on their return so that they will not all write essays on "The Surprising Productiveness of Western Soil."
THE WEEKLY will strive to observe more proportion in its columns than before. Athletics for example, plays a n ost important part in a college education, but it is not by any means all of education. It takes many things to make up a well rounded university, and the University of Kansas is somewhat symmetrical.
DURING the summer the WEEKLY received numerous inquiries on various subjects from members of the K. U. Alumni and others. For example: A Miss Smarty took the liberty of asking the WEEKLY if it could help her to trace a very interesting article she read in some periodical about twelve years ago, of which she had entirely forgotten the name. The article described how the writer being out at night, on some marshes near a sea inlet, witnessed the silent arrival of a party of men in a boat, who surveyed the neighborhood of their landing and then departed. This inquiry, though more bewildering than many, suggested that we set aside one of our valuable columns for the sole purpose of enlightening those ambitions people who want to know things. So beginning with this number of the WEEKLY, we shall attempt to answer a few of the questions asked us and hope the student body at large will appreciate this unselfish offer and make the most of a real golden opportunity.
FRESHMEN, like all small children, should be seen and not heard. They should bear this continually in mind. They should not be foolish; think that just because they are not immediately annihilated whenever anyone bears to listen to their prattle, they are making what is vulgarly known as a hit. Mr. Carlyle must have had the Freshmen in mind when he wrote:— "Thou who wearest that cunning, heaven-made organ, a tongue, think well of this. Speak not, I passionately entreat thee, 'till thy thought has silently matured itself, 'till thou have other than mad and mad-making noises to emit; hold thy tongue 'till some meaning lie behind it to set it wagging.
"Consider the significance of Silence; it is boundless, never by meditating to be exhausted, unspeakably profitable to thee; cease that chaotic hubbub, wherein thy own soul runs to waste, to confused suicidal dislocation and stupor. Speech is silvern; silence is golden. Speech is human; silence is divine."
LTHOUGH the WEEKLY is essentially a newspaper, it shall try in the future to take the place of both a newspaper and a literary magazine. It shall also devote a page to wit and humor. The kind that students enjoy. We want the students to bear in mind that they all belong to the WEEKLY STAFF, in a way, and that we shall be more than pleased to publish any of their original productions containing merit. We want the WEEKLY so be of some interest to everyone.
So Freshmen if you want to make a "hit" keep still.

The Old familiar faces.
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
In my days of childhood, in my joyful school days.
Drinking late, sitting late with my bosom conies.
I have been laughing, I have been carotous
All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
I loved a love once, fairest among women;
Closed are her doors on me, I must not see
have a friend; a kinder friend has no man
Hil, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
Like an ingrate, I left my friend abruptly.
Left him to muse on the old familiar faces.
Ghost like, I placed 'round the haunts of my childhood'
I seemed a desert, sound to traverse.
Seeking to find the old familiar faces.
Friend of my bosom, 'thon more than a brother,

So might we talk of the old familiar faces
How some they have died, and some they have left me.
And some are taken from me; all are departed-
All, all are gone; the old familiar faces.

"Ask Us no Questions and We'll Tell You no Lies."
To the WEEKLY.
DEAR SURS: I want to ask a favor of you. Since my daughter returned from the fashionable boarding-school where I sent her last year, her conversation is composed of very largely tnose expressions commonly known as "fashionable slang." For example, my daughter met a friend of hers and a gentleman, in the hall leading to my office. I could hear this conversation and here it is—
"Why, Emily! I did not expect to meet you. How lovely!" They kissed.
"Oh, perfectly splendid! I just came home last night."
"How lovely! You had a splendid time?"
"Oh, it was just perfect. We went as far as the mountains!"
"Mountains! Oh, how delightful."
"Yes, awfully nice! I rode on the engine."
"How lovely!"
"Oh yes."
"Yes, just splendid. You are coming to Loma's this evening." "Oh, yes. It will be lovely! You are coming?"
"Oh yes, lovely! Good-by,
dear."
"Good-by, dear."
"How perfect!"
The use of exaggerated adjectives, repeated ad nauseam, with out regard to sense is driving me distracted. Of course, I am charitable and realize that the habit was unconsciously acquired, and that the unfortunate girls are ignorant of the effect of the perpetual babbling reiteration of one or two unhappy words, but can you suggest a way in which to break my daughter of her bad habit. Sincerely Yours,
They kissed and parted.

New Appointments at the University
pt in
street.
A larger number of new appointments in instruction was announced during commencement week of this year than had been announced on any similar occasion in the history of he University. This was due to the fact that the increase in the University appropriation made possible the creation of a considerable number of new positions. Below is given a list of these positions with the names and something of the educational history of those persons elected to the rank of assistant professor and above.
Charles S. Skilton has been elected by the Board of Regents to succeed D.an George B. Penny of the School of Fine Arts. The new dean of the School of Fine Arts comes to the University from the New Jersey State Normal School where he has been instructor in instrumental music for the past six years. Mr. Skilton's early training was received at Northampton, Massachusetts. He graduated from the Northampton high school in 1883 and entered Yale University in the fail of the same year. He received his A. B. degree from Yale in 1889 and spent the next two years in teaching the languages at Siglars Preparatory School for boys, Newburgh, New York. From 1891 to 1893 Mr. Skilton pursued his studies in music abroad at the Royal High School in Berlin and returned to this country in 1893 as Director of Music in the Salem Female Academy, North Carolina. He served in that capacity for a period of three years. The year 1896-97 be spent in the further study of music under Buck, Shelly, and Miss Kate Chittenden of New York City. Since 1897 Mr. Skilton has taught at Trenton, New Jersey. Mr. Skilton makes a specialty of lecture recitals. He has composed several cantatas and operettas which have been presented by his pupils. In 1897 a sonata written by him for violin and piano won first prize at the Music Teachers' National Association in New York. As a conductor he has had a wide experience ranging from organizing amateur choirs and choruses to conducting professional singers and orchestral players. Mr. Skilton is a contributor to the periodicals Rindu and Musician.
The new Assistant Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures elected by the Board is Mr. Ralph E. Bassett who has been in the University of Missouri since 1900. Mr. Bassett holds the degrees of A. B., 1889, and A. M., 1890, from Harvard University. From 1890 to 1892 he was instructor of modern languages in the Belmont school, Belmont, Massachusetts, and held a similar position at De Pauw University, Greencastle, in 1892-93. Mr. Skilton spent the year 1893-94 abroad studying at Paris. In the absence of the regular incumbent he was acting professor of modern languages in New Hampshire College during 1894-95, and held a similar position in the Agricultural and Mechanical Arts Col
lege, Charlestown, South Carolina, from 1896 to 1897. The two following years he spent at Syracuse University as instructor of Romance languages. In 1899-00 he held the same position in Western Reserve University, and in 1900 was elected assistant professor of Romance languages in the University of Missouri. Mr. Bassett is engaged in editing French and Spanish texts; two of which are nearly ready for publication.

In the graduate school of Harvard he is enrolled for the doctor's degree in English, and expects to receive the degree at this year's commencement.
The new position of Assistant Professor of Economics which was made at the June meeting of the Board of Regents was also filled at that time by the election of Arthur J. Boynton of Harvard University. Mr. Boynton received the bachelor's degree from Beloit College in 1896. He taught the next three years in the high school of Sparta, Wisconsin. He entered the Harvard graduate school in 1900 and took his A. B. degree from Harvard in 1901 and his A. M. degree in 1902. The year 1901-02 he spent in graduate work in Columbia University.

PHARMACY ALUMNI NOTES
We wish to announce to the members of the Pharmacy Alumni Association—and incidentally to all readers of the WEEKLY as well—that arrangements are in progress whereby a definite amount of space will be secured, the same to be devoted entirely to the interest of the Association members. To be sure, there is comparatively a small number of University students and alumni who are interested in pharmacy, and to those who are not interested we rquest that they kindly bear with us in this matter and generously allow us to have our say as long as we remain within our bounds.
To an extent the WEEKLY was the official paper for the Association last year and it is our desire to make it such this year. If each member will kindly inform us as to change of address, new location, etc, we will be greatly obliged. Address all correspondence to R. H. Needham, Cor. Sec., 208 Mo. St., Lawrence, Kansas.

Prof. Nilson, a leading light of Edinburg university, recently wrote on the blackboard in his laboratory, "Prof. Nilson informs his students that he has, this day, been appointed honorary physician to the queen." In the course of the morning he had occasion to leave the room, and on returning he found that a student had added to the announcement the words, "God save the queen."—X

of the words senior and junior. "Now if John Smith had a son John Smith, and they would call the son John Smith Junior, the father would be John Smith Senior. Now: supposing John Smith, Senior had a grandson, John Smith, can you tell me what the grandson would be called?"
Promptly a red haired freshman said, "He'd be called John Smith, Sophmore, sir."—X
Dr. Woodrow Wilson, President of Princeton University, says that it is astonishing how humorously, and, in a way, logically, the young student will interpret the questions propounded to him. Doctor Wilson gives an amusing example of undergraduate logic told him by a friend. The instructor in natural history desired a certain pupil to give in writing the difference between a biped and a quadruped. The teacher was as much amused as he was astonished to receive the following:
ق
"A biped has two legs; a quadruped has four legs; the difference, therefore, between a biped and a quadruped is two legs."

CHF SPRINGS is a lively place notwithstanding the
place notwithstanding the fact that it is,first of all,a health resort. There are merry-go-rounds, bowling alleys, and shooting galleries galore; and they are all well patronized. The mornings ring with the laughter of children romping in and out the hotel verandas and spring-houses. The afternoons, thanks to the sun, are not so noisy. In the evenings there is music at the hotels when the young dance while the old and invalid look on. All through the day men, women and children go with their cups and jugs to have them filled at the different springs. Down town everything is "wide-open"—saloons, dance halls, gambling—everything.
I was sitting on the veranda of a hotel when a man, very much under the influence of liquor, came up and introduced himself to me. He was J. T. Whitely of Kansas City. I didn't care to make myself conspicuous by talking with him and tried to excuse myself, but he was determined to talk to me and wouldn't let me go. I had already observed that all the hotel guests avoided him. Even the clerk, who noticed how he persisted in talking to me, told me confidentially that they were going to have him leave soon.
The offender was a tall,smooth faced man, about forty-five. He was not strikingly different from most men except that he looked dejected, evidently from care, and was intemperate. He was thin and nervous. The people at the hotel said his mind was affected though what he said to me in our short conversations seemed sane enough for one who was drunk. His talk was merely disconnected. One evening I noticed a cold, set, glassy stare in his eyes and suspected that it was the result of morphine. Something about me atttracted him for he invariably came and sat beside me when ever he had an opportunity.
There were two musicians playing at the hotel who lived in the town where I attended college. I knew them well. They were fine fellows; both, and play—well I have never heard their equal on the mandolin and guitar. They provided entertainment during meal time and every morning at ten they played at the Ferromanganese spring.
One evening I meandered down to the spring where the boys were playing, when, much to my annoyance, Whitely came in and sat beside me. He didn't say a word and I appeared not to notice him. The boys played the Miserere from Il Trovatore. Whitely sat perfectly still like one stupefied and looked only at the floor. When the piece was finished he turned abruptly to me and said, "Good God, young fellow, how they play!" The tone of his voice, the earnestness
with which the words were uttered, startled me.
Before I returned to the hotel I asked one of the musicians to play a certain piece for me which they kindly did. It was a lively march, full of variations, and took with the crowd. As I was about to depart Whitely came up, and looking me squarely in the face, said in a whimpering, child-like voice, "You did that. You asked them to play that. It's all your fault. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. That's not music." Then he walked away. Those in the pavillion smiled.
"Pity the old fool doesn't sober up," a man near me said. Turning, I saw one of the musicians beckoning to me.
"What'd the old codger say?" he asked.
I told him.
"He's a hard case. Talks sort of ramblin' don't he? We've had lots of fun with him at the hotel. You know he's fond of music. Gave us boys five apiece the other afternoon for playing Trovatore for him. He likes only the best music. Strange, isn't it? You'd ought of watched him listen to us. "Dig down into it boys," he said. "Tear her to pieces." So we dug and how he did enjoy it! Sat and listened to us like he's in a trance. Just like he did this morning. He kept us in his room and wouldn't let us go. Said he'd get drunk if we did. Imagine his gettin' drunk. Why he's a saturated solution already. But I'm glad our music didn't drive him to drink, anyway. You know he's down here takin' treatments. Have to give him powders to get him to sleep. We boys couldn't break loose from him so we tried to dope him. Gave him four of his powders in less than an hour. Do you know the stuff sort of brought him to. Woke him up and he wanted to tell us the story of his life. Says he killed a fellow in a poker game and was sent up for it. A convict, mind you. Guess he's tryin' to drown his sorrows, don't you think? Keep your eye on him; he's a character."
After that I did keep my eve on him. I was curious to know more about his life.
What strange people one meets at a summer resort! People of all kinds—good, bad and indifferent. The bad and indifferent are always the more interesting. One wonders why they are indifferent, or how bad they really are. For example, there was the mother and daughter who were stopping at The Oaks. Every new arrival heard about them within two days at least. They were unnaturally blonde and very pretty. They looked alike. The women said they never wore the same dresses twice. One couldn't help but notice them as they came down the street—their
pretty clothes, their wasp-like waists, their hair, their complexions, their smiles, their eyes—and as they passed most women and all the men turned to look and watched four very French heels and two pairs of very attractive black ankles trip lightly on their way.
"Who are they?" one would ask.
The addressed would shrug his shoulders most likely and say, "Why, don't you know? Haven't you seen the song and dance?"
"Oh, actresses!"
"Yes. That is, one of them is. The younger, mother's baby, simply stays with mama. They say there's only eighteen years difference in their ages."
"Is it possible? I took them for sisters."
"The man who deals faro at The Oaks Glub is paying a great deal of attention to the young one."
And the very next night if one is like most human beings one goes to the theater to see the mother in her song and dance "stunt."
"Yes, I understand."
I did. She certainly was bewitching, and rather alluring. Once I thought she smiled at me, but I heard that she generally smiled at all men so I didn't feel particularly favored.
Whitely hadn't noticed them, so he said; but then a drunken man isn't responsible. I tried to pursue him to go with me to see them, but he refused, saying that he hadn't been inside a theater since,—and then stopped. He wouldn't say anymore.
I was intensel, interested in Whitely by this time, especially after all the musician told me. At first I had tried to be merely amiable toward him but now I became positively friendly. I solicited his company, which he noticed and seemed to enjoy. Though he remained in his room most of the day, I saw him on the veranda, as a rule, every morning and evening.
One morning I was sitting with him, casually talking, when the wind blew my coat open and he saw the fraternity badge on my vest. Leaning over, he examined it carefully and said, "I thought so. What college?"
"Enjoying it?" he asked, after reflecting over something for several minutes. "Well, that's good. Make it last as long as you can. I am a college man myself."
I told him.
Then his mind began to wander and he talked at random.
"Fraternity man?" I asked again.
"What college?"
He didn't answer. He didn't like to be questioned.
In the evening I saw him again. He was listening to the music. There was a little girl with curly brown hair sitting on his knee. He was stroking her hair and looking into her face. I was becoming abnormally curious to know more about the fellow. I went over and sat beside him. He looked at me but said nothing. The child jumped down and ran away. The thought came to me that possibly if I succeeded in getting him into my room I could induce him to tell me more
of his life. I decided to try it, at all hazards.
"I have some college pictures in my room," I said, "which are rather interesting. Perhaps you would enjoy looking them over."
"Yes, I would," he replied at once. And he willingly followed me to my room.
He was very much interested in all I showed him. My collection of souvenirs acted as a stimulous and recalled his own college days. For a long time he said nothing, then turning to me he said, "You think I'm an odd genius, don't you? I rather amuse you, now don't I? Be honest and confess?"
I told him he was different from any one I had ever met:
"Yes," he replied, "I guess I am, and it may be a good thing. But I am not ashamed of my alma mater, young fellow, neither am I of my fraternity."
"You love your college don't you?"
"I do."
"You love your fraternity don't you?" "I do."
"I do."
"So do I and I always shall. I am not lying to you, God knows I can tell the truth once in a while. Here is my fraternity pin. If I didn't love it would I have carried it next to my heart all of these years?"
He was greatly agitated and spoke excitedly. Fumbling in his upper vest pocket he pulled out a small package of brown paper, which he slowly and carefully unwrapped.
"Here is my pin—see. No don't take it. You've seen enough already."
I only saw that its form was rhombic.
"I don't wear any pin, not because I'm ashamed of it, but because I love it so. You have principles in your fraternity haven't you—a ritual?"
"Yes."
"Well so do we. If I had followed the principals laid down in our ritual, if I had only listened to the counsel and pleading of my fraternity brothers, I would not be the useless wreck that I am today, people would not have to sit around and laugh at me as they do. I disgraced my fraternity and I'm ashamed to wear its emblem."
He stopped and looked out the window, remaining thus for many minutes.
"But you're a boy—a college man—a Greek—you're broad— you'll understand. I've wanted to unload my heart to someone for a long time and I guess you're my man. Will you let me tell you?"
The emotion in his voice was awful—heattrending.
"I was an orphan when I was in college. My mother died when I was a child; my father the year before I entered college. I haven't any relatives, that I know of, and I thank God I haven't. I was left rather wealthy, about seventy-five thousand in all. I selected an eastern college near New York and continued there three years. The third year I fell in love—yes, in love; and I am still. She was a concert hall singer, she danced. Like me, she was an orphan, so she said. One of the many un-

fortunate girls, who, from neces sity, falls into the clutches of the concert hall stage. I met her in New York during a carousal with some college chums. She asked me to come and see her.
I did. She told me all about herself—her life, I grew to pity her; pity of the dangerous sort. She was so young and pretty. She fell in love with me and finally I with her. She said I must marry her, that her life depended upon it, that I was the only soul who could save her from degradation. I told her I would and God knows I tried. Then I told the boys. How they pleaded with me—told me I was making an irreparable mistake, that I was only infatuated, that it was all, all wrong. They told me that I was throwing my life away, wrecking my whole career. But I wouldn't listen to them. I ran away and married her. We went West and for a few years were happy. I was with her always. She didn't want me to leave her. I didn't want to. She was extravagant, wanted everything, bought everything. We traveled. We had a baby, a little girl, Cosette—a dark brown hair and large brown eyes. The little one you saw on my knee tonight reminded me of her. When Cosette was ten she was a beauty, and she loved her papa. She took piano lessons and used to play for me. The last piece I ever heard her play was a simple arrangement of the Miserere Il Trovatore. It was my favorite. I never hear it played but that my memory carries me back to Cosette—my dear little Cosette. My money grew less—I knew it was going, I realized it all. But I loved Lorraine and I loved her baby. She knew it. She saw the money going. I saw that she didn't care. I wasn't blind. I realized it was the money she loved and not me, but I loved her and she knew it; she knew she had me. I took to gambling—for her—for Cosette. I played in luck and came our way ahead. She got it—she got it all."
He walked up and down the room, never taking his eyes off me. Great beads of perspiration stood out on his forehead.
"And then—then the end came. There was a large jack-pot. I had won it—won it fair and square They doubted me. I had been too lucky. He tried to shoot me but I was too quick for him—I killed him. Yes, I killed him, and I would do it again. I tell you I loved Lorraine; God only knows how I loved her. She could have what she wanted as long as I lived. She could have her new dresses, diamonds, anything. I was tried sentenced—ten years in the penitentiary. I felt it was coming. I knew the end must come. It was inevitable, but I loved her. She got a divorce and took the child. I expected it. I wasn't surprised. I wore my stripes for her. I am a convict, man—a convict. Can't yon detect the shuffle?"
As he walked up and down before me, I saw what he meant—the infernal lockstep.
branded. The world knows him and every one gives him an additional kick. My term was shortened to five years. I tried to get work. I couldn't, 'He's an ex-convict, people said. 'He's a dangerous man.' I changed my name and managed to get a position at last. I worked two years and was getting along fairly well. I tried to forget—to be more respectable. One day they heard I was an ex-convict, that I had been in the penitentiary. Then I was discharged. The old world's just a little unjust my friend. I started out again. I couldn't forget Lorraine and Cossette; guess I didn't want to; I don't now. They left me. I'll leave them alone. I only hope they are happy. I changed my name again and started a little business of my own. I am making a little money; I have about three thousand now. But I can't forget Lorraine—I just can't. I have taken to drink; there is a temporary relief in that at least. My mind has become deranged; I know it. I am no fool. I am down here for my health—my health mind you. Think of it,' and he began to laugh, a loud hysterical laugh. He tell on the bed and burried his face in the pillow, still laughing.
"That stays with a man always—always. There's no getting away from it. A convict's
I was an hour calming the unfortunate man, and when I did succeed in quitting him, he lost control of his mind.
I walked with him to get a little fresh air. In passing the theater he suddenly stopped; a woman was singing. "Listen," he said, "do you hear? Lorraine used to sing, but much better than that." Then we went home.
The next morning I could not find him. He was not in his room and no one had seen him. I looked for him all day. Late in the evening, in passing The Oaks, I heard someone playing the piano. It was the Miserere from I! Trovatore. It immediately recalled Whitely so I stopped to listen. At the top of a long flight of stairs leading to the hotel veranda, was the figure of a man. He had not heard me. I made a noise on the steps—he did not move. He appear to be on his knees and listening to the music. I went up to him. It was Whitely. He was dead. A bright light was shining in the parlor, and the curtain was up. Seated at the piano was the daughter of the concert hall singer. It was she who was playing. I heard the rustle of silk amp the mother appeared at the door. "Cossette," she said sharply, "Cossette, I thought I told you never to play that piece."
The latest example of the school boy in the throes of literary composition is interesting. He was asked to write an exercise on the chicken. "The chicken." he wrote, "is a bird with two legs, one on one side and the other on the other. Its food is what you give it, but it sometimes eats worms and little stones because it cannot see quick enough. When it grows older it will lay eggs, if it lives long enough, but sometimes they don't. Eggs are full of meat the yellow part is the meat, the white is bone and other articles. This is all I know about the chicken."

She was an amature artist, and like most of her kind, imagined herself several laps in advance of the average amatur. She was eager, however, to know how her work would impress one of the masters, who had managed to grasp fickle fame by the back of the neck.
One day a real painter called at her home and she immediately conceived the idea of putting up a job on him. She would show him a specimen of her handiwork but would reveal nothing that might lead him to suspect her as being the creator thereof.
So the fair amature proceeded to steer the real painter up against her master piece.
"Of what school would you call this painting?" she asked expectantly.
"Of the boarding school." promptly replied the real painter; and a large dark spot suddenly appeared in the brilliant future of the fair amature.

to the "gush" of silly girls, who are disposed, as you say, to the perpetual use of exaggerated adjectives "repeated ad nauseam."
I have a friend who is now the happy father of a charming daughter, who succeeded in breaking the girl of using in her conversation a curious assortment of astounding adverbs. This was the method he used.
One evening he came home with a budget of news. An acquaintance had failed in business. He spoke of the incident as "deliciously sad." He had ridden up town in a car with a noted wit, whom he had described as "horribly entertaining," and, to elap the climax, he spoke of the butter that had been set before him at a country hotel as "divinely rancid."
His daughter stared at him and said, "Why, papa, I should think you were out of your head."
"Not in the least, my dear," he said, pleasantly. "I'm merely trying to follow the fashion. I worked out 'divinely rancid' with a great deal of labor. It seems to me rather more effective than 'awfully sweet.' I mean to keep up with the rest of you hereafter." "And now," he continued, "let me help you to a piece of this exquisitely tough beef."
Adverbs, he says, are not so fashionable as they were in his family.
You might use some such tactics on Emily.

stitution. Today its team stands unrivaled in the West, and has competed successfully with the larger eastern colleges. The scoring qualities of Michigan are unequaled. In 1901 its total scores wee 550 to 0,and in 1902,612 to 12. Coach Weeks played on the team the past four years. In the fall of 1899 he played halfback in the famous Pennsylvania game, and in 1900,he made quarter-back on the varsity. During the past two years he played the same position. Surely our new coach comes well recommended.
Weeks has the characteristics of a successful coach. He has had fine experience, and fully understands the game. Everyone who has worked under Yost understands the game. Weeks is a good, congenial fellow. He is a "mixer." He puts spirit into the boys. He means what he says,-he talks business. Students admire a man who speaks with decision. On the field he has already won for himself the name of "Boss" Weeks. And, fortunately, Weeks likes Kansas. He likes the people and the atmosphere of things in general.
It now remains for us all to get together. The coach can't do everything. Very evidently he has made up his mind to do his best. It's now up to us.

ATHLETICS
"Boss" Weeks Well Pleased.
A week from Monday the first football game of the season will be played with Emporia College on McCook field. Coach Weeks is making every effort to have our team in good condition by that time. The practice has become longer and harder and lively scrimmage work now plays an important part in each day's work.
The coach is after a good kicker and makes the boys kick and catch every day. Poooler's ability in this line is well known and Allen, Woodford, Alford, Griggs and Mosher are all showing up well. Every man who shows any ability in punting is given special attention and is taught the best way to do the work.
The scrimmages last week were lively and the men seemed to be in the best of spirits. Those who show up best are Allen at full back, Hart, Kaul and Forcher at quarter, Chappell, Brumage and Alford at halves, Fleischman and Woodford at ends and Coulson, Peters and Michaelson in the line. Coach Weeks is well pleased with the showing and weight of his men and says that everything looks nice.
The training table will probably not be started until after the first game. The coach thinks it is safer to wait and not run the danger of putting men on the table who will have to be taken off later. It arouses much dissatisfaction to do this and may cause men to quit practice who would make good later on.
Manager Plank expresses himself as satisfied with the outlook but says he would like to see more men out for practice. Suits may be had from him on application.
No season tickets will be sold this year, but a ticket for the first three games (Emporia College, Agricultural College and State Normal) may be bought for one dollar. Holders of these tickets may also voice in the Athletic Association meetings.
Vincent, last year's captain, is teaching in the Lawrence High School and coaching their football team. Vincent says the boys are a little light but willing. They are lucky to have such a good man to coach them.
Peters, last year's tackle will not be in school this term. He was a good player and the team will feel the loss.
Coach Curtis is coaching Wisconsin this year. K.U. wishes him all success.
Botsford, quarterback 1900 is coaching Emporia Normal.
Nickles, half back 1902, is coaching Emporia College.

NO CHAIR OF JOURNALISM AT U OF K. Through the Associated Press and in other ways the impression is general over the country that with the opening of the University this fall a chair in Journalism has been established, an impression which in some respects is erroneous. A chair of Journalism will not be created at the University of Kansas this year. Our Chancellor, Dr. Strong, has not made the statement that a separate department of Journalism would be established nor has he authorized any one to make such a statement.
Continued on Page 4.
NO.2.
Courses suitable for training in Journalism have long existed in the curriculum of the University, although the term Journalism has not been used to designate that work The departments of Economics, Sociology, History, and English offer ample work for any student desiring to prepare himself for the profession of Journalism. In addition to the courses that have heretofore been offered to the prospective journalist, some study and training in certain more practical features of newspaper work has been arranged for. Chancellor Strong has taken up the matter with a number of newspaper men and has secured their cooperation. From time to time these men will lecture to the students on the different departments of newspaper work. In this way, students will have at their command a source of practical information hitherto not accessible at the University.
Furthermore, an arrangement has been made with the city newspapers of Lawrence to submit from the advanced students preparing for Journalism, such news and other matter as those papers can use. This will enable a young journalist to determine in some degree what sort of material is especially desired by various newspapers, another advantage until now denied Kansas University students aspiring to the field of newspaper work.
In addition, the papers of Lawrence have agreed to let the members of the advanced class inspect their plants, and perhaps a few students will be offered an opportunity to learn something of the mechanical work connected with getting out a paper. So it will be seen that the hopeful young journalist need not go out from the University wholly unfamiliar with the workings and equipment of a newspaper office. He will have had, at least, a glimpse of the practical side of newspaper making.
A candidate tor journalistic training must not look just yet for a chair or a school of Journalism at the University of Kansas. Both may come in time; perhaps not a long time, but at present he should rather make

LAWRENCE MISTREATS HER BEST FRIENDS.
French, Cowardly Officers Thwart the
Best Interests of the City.
Students Utterly Misjudged and Maltreated.
Along with every commendable jollification and celebration comes the base "cheap grafter" and often it would appear that communities of reputed culture prefer him to sound teachers and earnest workers. Such is somewhat the case with the present reunion in Lawrence. One of the most holy of feelings is the veneration of those immortal heroes who preserved the identity of the American nation. But that we may enjoy this commemoration of their services, we must breath the polluted atmosphere of the man with the baby rack, the "magic" cards, the "Bobo" show, the despicable merry-go-round, the nauseating snake handler, and many other scaly, diabolical, measly, wormy grafts that afflict human society.
Recognizing the horrifying effect of the presence of all this pollution, some of the best K. U, students—men of the best families of the state, men of lofty ideals and delicate tastes, men of well known moral stamina—offered to assist in making life, in Lawrence, unpleasant for the cheats, and were met by the ungratitude of beastly, unmanly, brutal treatment of red-eyed profane policemen upon whose breath the stench of rotten whisky could be easily detected.
Now, as students, we are very grateful for the refined and hearty welcome tendered us by the intelligent, upright people of this delightful city. We also wish to offer hearty thanks for the manliness and liberality of the business men, who are always ready and anxious to assist us in our various enterprises. But we surely hope that Lawrence will see to it that ruflians in official garb are not allowed to satisfy
their cowardly tempers and avarice upon gentlemen against whom they have no well founded charges.
We further wish to tender deep thanks to our ever present friend, "Uncle Jimmy," for the valiant manner in which he takes care of "his boys."
THE DOWNFALL OF BOBO.
There is sorrow in the Bobo family today. There is wailing and grnashing of teeth. For did not Papa Bobo strike the hard pan with a dull sickening thud. And the K. U. students, did they not sit themselves upon Bobo's neck and razzle-dazzle the wildman's whiskers as children shatter a crow's nest. Yes, verily, they did. They punched his face. And little Flossie, the long haired Circassian beauty, cried in exquisite English "Mamma, mamma, they're killing papa!" And mamma, the living mermaid, went to the rescue with a poker and a broom stick.
And the police saved Papa Bobo. They chased the mildeywed students far away, and they gathered up Papa Bobo with a whisk broom and many tears.
THE PROCLAMATIONS
On Thursday night that right royal band of students known as Sophomores decorated our peaceful little burg with small, ladylike proclamations evidently intended to stoke terror upon the unsophisticated Freshmen. Today the Freshmen completely demonstrated their fearlessness and moral courage. "They have spoken," and declared themselves. They resent the insults of the "slobbering Sophs" whom they aver were created brainless, and defy them. Now, it is about time for "doings."
One of the high schools of Missouri sent a pupil up here with a three terms credit in Theology. It is hardly necessary to make comment.

THE SPIRIT that overcomes; that subdues; that progresses—this is the spirit that came to Mount Oread with the advent of our new chancellor. For a year it has flourished and gained strength, and has won for itself a response in the breast of every follower of the crimson and the blue. It has manifested itself in an outburst of enthusiasm for all university institutions, and at the same time it has appeared in the general better discipline and closer regard for authority. On the football field it has let the team know that it was supported; in class and school contests it has let the chancellor know that he was respected. It's in the air. We all feel that the year past has been the best the University of Kansas has ever known.
The students entering now are particularly fortunate in coming under the influence of this new spirit at its period of germination. At first it arouses them and helps them, and then, in turn, depends upon them for its perpetuity.
While this spirit has taken hold of nearly every department of university life, and has made itself deeply felt everywhere, there seems to be one interest that has not yet been fully awakened by it. One of its first and most tiring of its friends has been the UNIVERSITY WEEKLY, yet this alone has failed to obtain the assistance of its protege. The student body has not been in sympathy with the UNIVERSITY WEEKLY. It is said that it has not deserved support. We of the WEEKLY say that without support it cannot be made acceptable to the student body. We have tried to make it a more worthy paper in order to justify and win support. The WEEKLY would like to have the student body support it and see if it will not become a more worthy paper. If a reader finds mistakes that he thinks may be remedied, let him send his suggestion to our office; we shall be only too glad to make use of them. If he finds something worthy in it, let that also be known.
In other institutions the university paper is the mainspring of university affairs. Everybody takes it. Everybody is glad to contribute to its columns. It is as eagerly read as is the good daily of the city, and indeed stands very much in the same relation to its readers. These conditions must exist here before the development of university spirit can be said to be complete. Let the spirit with which we
Let the spirit with which we
support athletics extend to our WEEKLY. If it fails once, let us look upon it with the same charity that we look upon the defeat of our football team, knowing always that there is another time coming; and that if we still are loyal, it must, impelled by our confidence in it, become all that we wish it to be, and take its rightful place as a most important link in the chain of university interests, commanding the assistance and the adherence of all.
THE CHANCELLOR'S chapel talk on the UNIVERSITY WEEKLY as a means of furthering university enthusiasm has aroused much thought and favorable comment among the students-particularly those who are subscribers to the WEEKLY. Numerous suggestions have been made by those interested in the affairs of the paper, and the management, itself, has already begun to lay foundations for a reconstruction which seems likely to be permanent.
The career of a college paper varies according to the ability of the management and staff, and to the interest and support of the faculty and students. If it be supported entirely by advertising and subscriptions, it may be a success financially, but it will probably be a failure as a medium of university news and university interest. On the contrary, if the paper does justice to the news and matters of interest to students and faculty alike, it must have less conspicuous advertising and more financial support from the university, not merely as a subscriber but as a contributor and business support.
The question has come up how to appoint a staff competent to shoulder the responsibility and to furnish their share of material. Politics has been responsible in the past for the election of some assistant editors and reporters who took little interest in the work. If political parties run the WEEKLY, let it be the socialist or the populist parties of the university. Let every student and every member of the faculty feel that the paper is his to criticise or to encourage.
One plan for selecting a staff has already been suggested and is undoubtedly a good one. It is that the staff for each year be selected by the staff of the preceding year, and that they be chosen from the news or literary contributors of that year, according to their ability and willingness to do the work. With such a staff and with an editor duly elected every year by the subscribers, there is no reason why the faculty as well as the student body should not use their assistance toward making the UNIVERSITY WEEKLY a real university newspaper, magazine, guide and, if need be, an almanac of the university year, a dynamo which shall generate that current of university spirit that has been talked of so much.

Senior: Ifwhile walking down the street on Sunday morning, one were to question you regarding the definition and use of language proper, what would you say?
Angeline:—In an essay I wrote, the expression, "it made the air look very sick," was marked through with red ink. What in your opinion is wrong with the expression?
Angeline—You say "it made the atmosphere look very sick." How can you think of the atmosphere being 'sick'? However, when I come to think about it, I do remember of reading somewhere of an ill wind.
Since language was given to us for the concealment of thought permit me to congratulate you on being so perfect a master of English,

Freshman—What is a sleeper? Freshman,--Your question is quite indefinite. You should have stipulated "human" or "Pulbman." However, I shall attempt an answer. You will no doubt recall that Peter Piper was a gentleman who picked a peck of pickled peppers. Now, strictly speaking, a sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper is that in which a sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps. Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper, the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the sleeper until the sleeper which carries the sleeper jumps the sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper under the sleeper on the sleeper, and there is no longer any sleeper sleeping in the sleeper. So there!
Drop the sucker a good one by all means. I suggest this: "Unconscious as the sunshine simply sweet."

An' you have done yer mission,
Put yer trust in Providence,
But—call a good physician!

NEW IDEAS For Fall and Winter.
JOHN BENNINGTON
The New Ideas in Men's Clothes are embodied in our fall and winter styles of Hart, Schaffner & Marx ready-to-wear Suits and Over Coats. We are showing these garments in all the fashionable fabrics, and there is a snappiness about them that appeals strongly to tasteful dressers.
There is no other ready-made clothing that looks as well or wears as well as the kind we sell. Many of our customers say that it suits them as well as any made-to-measure they ever wore, and it costs much less. That's the difference.

HERE'S SUCCESS TO THE TEAM OF '03 ROCK CHALK! JAY HAWK! K. U.!
THE FOOTBALL OUTLOOK.
It seems to be the general belief among K. U. students that we shall have a victorious foot ball team this year. A short survey of athletic conditions as they pertain to football at the present only strengthen such an opinion.
First the management have prepared a schedule of prospective games which are bound to prove good exhibitions of the game, yet will not carry our team against teams which are above our class. The arrangement of the games is such that under ordinary conditions, the team should have ample time between games to be in the best physical condition before they will be called upon to play again.
Second, we have secured the services of a football coach, who has no superior in the Missouri valley. A star player upon the best football team in the country last year, he has exhibited in his few week's residence with us, that he knows all the salient points of the science of football and in addition has a genial way with the boys working under him that has won their regard.
Third, the football material is greater than ever before Thirty-five and forty men have been coming out to practice. Not only are the numbers large, but the individuals are of the right size. The squad has averaged over sixty five pounds; a half dozen or more exceed over two hundred pounds in weight.
With these facts before us we do not see why we should not have a favorable football season and once more see the red and blue float over an "ever victorious" team.
EMPORIA FIRST.
When the energetic Kansas cannot get what he wants, he makes the best of what he has. The state legislature did not deem it expedient to grant us a gymnasium building when we asked for it ast year, yet, by extensive remodeling of the basement of Snow Hall, the facilities for gymnasium work have been greatly increased. The large west room has been ceiled and plastered and its floor lowered three feet, thus affording a room fourteen feet high with a floor area thirty-eight by ninety feet. One half of this will be used for basket ball and the remainder for general apparatus for physical development. Two dressing rooms have been provided, the boys' containing one hundred and fifty lockers and three shower baths, the girls., about sixty lockers and two needed oaths. One room which serves now as football headquarters, will later

Running out around the end;
Charging through the line.
We'll hold them then and there for downs
And that's a very good sign,

The line-up Monday will be made up from the following men; Michaelson and Newby, Center; Donald, Bruner and Isling, Guards; Ackerman, Baird, and Rice, Tackles; Woodlord, Cooke, and Fleishman, Ends; Pooler and Wilson, Quarter-back; Griggs Brumage, and Ice, Half-back; and Allen and Moser. Full-back.
The scrimmages the past week have been fast and full of ginger. Weeks has been working hard to get a team into shape to show the Preachers something about the game, and his efforts have worked wonders. The two teams that line up every night play football with a vim and dash that speaks well for the
U. S. G, PLANK, Athletic Mgr team later on. Each man seems to be on his metal and works all the time.
U. S. G, PLANK, Athletic Mgr
Pooler is back in the game and gives the men confidence and spirit. His work last year was all that the University could ask, and he will undoubtedly make good this season. Wilson and Hart have been showing up well in their positions, Hart especially in advancing the bril on the vuarterback run. Allen at fullback is making a good showing and his line bucking is good. Brumage and Cooke are both showing up well back of the line. Brumage hunts holes in the line and is always good for a gain. Cooke besides being a fine ground gainer is developing into a good punter and is being tried out a little each day in that department of the game.
In the line, Michaelson is making a good center. He is big, 190, and fast on his feet and will, with a little more knowledge of the game, make a star center.
Brunner and Donald at guards Continued on page 4.
THE KANSAS-NEBRASKA GAME.
Continued on page 4.
There is at present considerable talk of transferring the annual Kansas-Nebraska football game from Lawrence to Kansas City this year. The question has not yet been settled but everything seems to point toward the-trans fer. The Nebraska management has written to the local authorities that the Cornhuskers want the game in Kansas City and the Kansas management is inclined to favor the change.
From a financial standpoint all the argument is on the side of the transfer. A large crowd would attend from Nebraska, for if Kansas City gets the game, an excursion will be run from Lincoln to Kansas City and there will also be many down from Omaha. If the game is played here, there will be no such excursions. Kansas City says that many from there will see the game and it is the opinion of several local men who ought to know that nearly as many students would see the game in Kansas City as in Lawrence. Then, too, a larger admission could be charged in Kansas City than in Lawrence. The gate receipts would undoubtedly be doubled, and probably tripled, and money is even a greater inducement this year than last. The athletic board needs it.
The argument, however, is not all on the side of the change. This year the Jayhawkers meet very few teams that are worthy of their attention and the Nebraska game has been looked forward to as about the only redeeming feature of the season. The management owes it to the student body to put the team on exhibition here. There are plenty of games to be played on McCook Field but they are not games that the students want to see as
they do the big battle. From the present prospects Kansas will win from the Cornhuskers this year and it would be a glorious thing to do it on faithful old McCook Field which has of late years so often felt the tread of victorious visiting teams.
Many students have not the money to go to Kansas City to see the game. They would probably go but it means a sacrifice for them for a trip to Kansas City is not very excitable or enjoyable unless a person has a few coins to distribute among the "boys."
The matter resolves itself into the question: Which is to receive the first consideration, the student body or the financial end of the football management? There can be no great mistake whichever way the question is decided, but unless the money is needed pretty badly, it seems that the students should be considered first. Why not ask them? The matter might be referred to them directly by taking a vote upon it in some way. The team want the support of the school and the latter is anxious to give it but in return should certainly be shown some consideration. If the majority of the students want to go to Kansas City, then we should favor the transfer most heartily.
--name on all of them means good Clothing.
A SUGGESTION FOR OUR FOOTBALL FIELD
No matter how well acquainted with the game one may be, there are constantly arising in a game of football points, the decision of which cannot reach one on the grand stand. It is usually easy to see when the ball changes sides, but if a person comes in late, and is not well acquainted with the players on either team, he is often forced to Continued on Page 4.

ACCORDING TO Coach Weeks, the success of the Michigan football teams is owing to the absolute unity existing between the university, the faculty, the athletic association, the students, and the players. Everybody understands everybody else. The university favors athletics and is as proud of a winning team as anyone. The faculty reflect the spirit of the university. Good scholarship of the players is insisted upon and the instructors take pride in helping the members of the team. The athletic association is on a sound foundation and is maintained by the student body. And win or lose, the students support the team. They cheer and sing to them and spur them on to victory. The players are always carried off the field on the shoulders of their friends. Nothing is too good for them. Such is the spirit of the students. As to the players, they almost work their heads off trying to make the team. Bruised and blistered from hard practice work they never complain, but stay in the game at every possible moment, knowing that there are those near at hand who are more than anxious to take their places. And all is in harmony. The team belongs to the university and the university belongs to the team
Why does not Kansas do the same? We all know how the Chancellor stands on athletics. He stands for sound, clean athletics. The faculty should by all means insist upon good scholar ship and they should also lend a helping hand to the players. I an aspirant for the team is back in his studies, he should be informed of it in time so as not to run any risk of weakening the team by his being taken off at a late moment. In this way and in many others the faculty can cooperate with the athletes and with the athletic association and doubtless will do so. Our athletic association is under sound management. It has given us a well arranged schedule and the games should be well attended. And our studets—let us "whoopit-up" tor Kansas. Let us stand by our team. We, too, ought to have songs to sing and we ought to learn to cheer effectively. We want our team to understand that we are with them in every point in the game. Let us demonstrate our good will. And our players—let every man who can try for the team. Let him get out and work. Let him work uncomplainingly. He ought to
feel that he belongs to us and we to him. That he has our good name to protect and that we are here to help him. Let us all get together and be in perfect unity, and then—go win for Kansas.
--always to be had.
NO ONE seems to know for whose benefit the half-hour change was made in afternoon class time. There have been numerous objections on the part of the students so it was evidently not done for their interests.
Last year the arrangement that was made for chapel hours seemed to be satisfactory to everyone. But little time was cut off any of the classes and the early afternoon classes were finished in time to give the student time to study a greater part of the afternoon, while the last afternoon class was closed in time to allow a few minutes rest before meal time.
At present students are required to meet an eight o'clock class and bid good bye to the dinner table until about twelve thirty, which means quite a sacrifice.
The present arrangement of afternoon classes is not so bad now as it will be during those cold short days that are coming. The University might build a lantern rack and check out lantens for the students of the fourthirty classes to use in going home.
One good thing may be said of the new arrangement: it gives the members of the faculty time to eat and get to classes on time and if it is a benefit to the professors who have classes immediately after dinner, it is probably a wise move, yet it should be considered that there are not so many such professors as there are students who have classes both in the morning and afternoon.
*
N AS MUCH as the first football game of the season is to be played Monday afternoon, the WEEKLY has considered it worth while to make football the feature of this issue. Unfortunately the chancellor was unable to set aside a chapel hour for football and so we are more than willing to take this opportunity to show our good will toward our team.
Some extensive changes have been made in the Library this summer. The art department has moved from the third floor of the Library into the third story of Snow Hall, formerly occupied by a part of Prof. Dyche's exhibit of mammals. The part of the Library vacated by the art department has been equipped with tables and chairs and will be used exclusively by the department of economics and history. Metal shelves will soon be placed in this room and all the books in the Library belonging to these departments will be moved into the new quarters. Miss Maude Smelser has charge of this room during the day and Mr. Draper tends to the needs of the students using this department in the evening.

Dear Editor: I am remodeling my dining room and trying to decide upon some appropriate mottoes to hang over the doors. Over one I have put, "Try our mince pies" what would you suggest for the other?
Club Steward: The motto you have selected certainly sounds good. I boarded at your club a part of last year. I suggest that you place over the other door: "If you live at this club you'll never live anywhere else." If I remember correctly there is a window in one end of the room. If you have any regard for your boarders you might hang over the window the mottoe: "Put your trust in the Lord."
Mr. Editor; I am having trouble at my club: I can't keep my boarders long, can you suggest a remedy?
Club Steward No. 2: You feed your boarders too much. If you keep them thin they will look long, at least.

Miss Bessie Wood has been appointed chairman of the finance committee, instead of Miss Sarah Ewing, who has not returned to school.

The annual joint reception of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. was held last Saturday evening in Snow Hall, and was in charge of the social committees of the associations. The large laboratory on the first floor was decorated with goldenrod and palms, the latter forming a screen for the musicians who played throughout the evening. Each guest was met in the hall by a member of the committee, and was given a card bearing his name, school and class. Receiving were the presidents of the associations, Miss Forest and Mr. Black, and the general secretaries, Miss Weiss and Mr. Pettit. Punch was served by members of the social committee. About 350 people enjoyed this opportunity to make new acquaintances and to renew the old ones.

SMILE!!
"God Smiled When He Put Humor into the Human Soul and Said—That is Good."
e
When my son John were nigh 18 sent 'im off to college.
I thor't 'twere time e' he should *git* some elevatin' knowledge.
Ole man Perkins said it were a foolish thing tew do;
But mother told him "Go to Grass!" an' ast him how he knew,
An' mended all John's duds an'
things an' kissed him goodbye
An' kissed me. too, an' laffed an
joked an' then began to cry.
D
When my son John were 22, hekem back home tew me.
He kissed both me an' mother an'
his eyes growed kinder dim
With a little roll of sheepskin,which he says were his A. B.
Ez he told us we could never know how much we'd done for him.
When ole man Perkins met 'im, he
iest sorter raised his nose
An' said he couldn't see no change except them dudish clothes.
The second day ez he'd been home
John met ole Perkins' brother
An' got intew a argument on some dern thing er other.
Perkins' brothers' six-foot-three, he called my John a pup—
Well, say, you'd orter seen that boy eat Perkins' brother up;
An' when I last 'im where he learnt to hit like the kick of a mule
He smiled an' sez he played guard on his football team at school
The summer John kem home from school crops were mighty bad.
An' int'rust on the mortgage took near every cent I had;
But John, he'd been the pitcher on his college baseball team.
An' when he heerd how I were fixed
he said he had a scheme
For pickin' up some extra coin. An' bless me, by the fall
He'l earned $100 clear for pitchin'
"summer ball."
RATES TO STUDENTS
Some fancy singer couldn t comean'
left 'jm in the lurch;
When Parson Dirkins give a show tew help repair the church,
So my John jest volunteered tew take the feller's place,
An' he made folks laugh until tears was swimmin' down their face;
Dudley Doolittle went to Topeka and Wichita Friday on business.
Franklin M. Farwell, E.E.'03, is located at Troy, Ohio. He is acting as electrician for the Hobart Electric Company.
For he could sing them funny songs better'n a minstrel show—
Heran' John just naturally got goin' round together,
He said he'd bear't 'em in his collegegee club two years ago,
When rich Peppy kem tew town
tew see Miss Merriwearther,
tew see Miss Merriwearther,
For John could sing dance an' spark
or talk good common sense.
An' a spike tail coat set on 'im jest like paint sets on a fence.

"To Students—Frat men es specialy."
The officials at the Lawrence Post Office announce their inability to decipher Greek letters. They have only been trying to unravel these most intricate signs for the past fifteen years, and have at last given up and honestly admitted that they can not. So "students, frat men especially," let us come to their rescue, and have our mail address in "good old English." If, however, time and trouble are to be saved, it might be advisable for the Lawrence High School to offer a course in Elementary Greek, open to Post masters and Post Office employees desiring to learn how to read Greek letters at sight.

A SUGGESTION FOR OUR FOOTBALL FIELD. Continued from page 1. question some other spectator before he knows how the sides are lined up.
The matter of downs is not so easy a one to determine, and the announcement of the number of yards to gain never can be heard at the grand stand. The grand stand can usually see a touchdown, or infer it from the action of the players, but sometimes the play is foul, and in such cases some means of telling the spectators would be appreciated. The result of goal kicking is also uncertain from the spectators' point of view, and unless they know whether or not it is allowed they cannot keep correct score, and consequently there is not the interest that would otherwise prevail.
Nebraska has solved this problem quite satisfactorily, and we could not do better than follow their lead. A large oblong box is placed at one end of the field, in plain view of the entire grand stand. This box revolves on its longer axis, and displays on its painted sides the exact stage of the game and play: which side has the ball, what down it is, and how many yards to go. It also gives the score, and annotates goals and touchdowns.
Some such system here would increase the pleasure of the spectators, and would be a step in advance for Kansas University athletics.
Other students smoke the Tampanola. Why don't you?

There are not one fourth enough lockers to accommodate the physical training classes. Two or three dozen baths and a swimming pool are needed as well as a much larger floor area in the main gymnasium.

PHARMACY ALUMNI NOTES
Now at the beginning of a school year, when instructors are, to a certain degree, adapting their courses to the needs of the individual classes, now, we repeat, is a good time for them to select something characteristic of their department as the subject of a popular lecture.
The need of popular lectures at a university where upwards of seven hundred courses are offered is apparent. With only twenty-four twenty week courses necessary for graduation, the average graduate has barely begun to acquire the great mass of information that may be secured at a university. While it is not necessary for a superintendent of a mine to have a keen appreciation of Browning, yet there are hundreds of subjects which do not come in an ordinary selected list of course of studies that may become somewhat familiar when presented in the form of lectures. To know a little about everything and a great deal about something, has become the great principle which determines the course of many a college man.
C. C. Rittenhouse, 02, of Garnett, visited in Lawrence the early part of the week. Mr. Rittenhouse has taken a position in the drug store of Earl L. Leoville, of Overbrook. He is also Secretary of the Garnett Oil and Gas Co.
J. W. Risdon, '02, spent the summer at Clay Center. He is again at the University Medical College at Kansas City, this time as Assistant in Pathology. J. L. Murray, '03, after wandering over the greater part of Colorado and Kansas, has finally settled down as prescription clerk for R. E. Allen, '98, of Wichita.
NECESSITY OF POPULAR LECTURES
A. J. Clark, 03, spent the summer managing Hall's Pharmacy at Lincoln. He is now principal of the Marysville High School. A. J. says it is a difficult matter to choose between teaching and pharmacy, but we tech certain that when next spring comes Clark will be willing to drop the flerule and take up the spatula.
R. R. Lindburg, '03, drug clerk for L. Wach, of Pittsburg, visited friends, and fellow pharmacists in Lawrence this week.
This method of presenting subjects peculiar to a certain line of study, is thoroughly in harmony with the new spirit of Kansas University. Members in one department will be led to have a profound regard for the work done in the other departments. Students will learn and instructors will once more be reminded that there are valuable courses of study not considered by them. In a social and intellectual way, students will learn and feel that they are not only members of this or that school, but that they are all members of a great university.
When students learn the value of lectures on popular subjects and when instructors realize that

there is a demand for an increased number of such lectures, we are certain that no graduate will go out from the university and be forced to acknowledge a total ignorance of matters of everyday interest, whether they be psychological questions concerning Faust or one relating to the properties of liquid air.

Cook, Woodford and Fleishman may be counted on for ends. They all get down the field on punts and are good tacklers.
Several accidents have happened, as they always will, the beginning of the season. Griggs, the star punter, who has been showing up well at half, had a collision with Chappell in which both were laid out for awhile and sustained injuries which may keep them out of the game for some time.
