Just why a certain down town editor takes such particular delight in hopping on to every thing that he can turn into a story injurious to the University is a mystery to some of us at the University. When some few fellows, who would not have gone to a debate anyway, said a few weeks ago that a colored man on the Kansas team kept them from going to Baker, this editor without inquiring to find out that more students went down to Baker than usually go to debates from Kansas, came out in a editorial with a glaring fabrication that the Kansas students had boycotted the debate on account of the negro. When the story came out it was a surprise to everyone at the University. On Thursday of this week the same editor faked up a big head story telling how K. U. students went to Baker and started fights and were chased to the train after the game. It seems at least that things that are damaging to the University should be printed accurately in our home papers. Such articles might be said to be pardonable too, if the editor had tried to get the facts or had been at the game Wednesday but to sit in his easy chair and grind out his reports from passing rumors is what we feel is unjustifiable.
The move to hold chapel only two days a week instead of five days is a good one and will meet with the approval of the student body. When the new auditorium is completed it will be extremely inconvenient to attend chapel each day. The services amount to little except
to call the students together. Other ways can be found to the students and there is no doubt that the attendance would be much larger on Tuesdays and Fridays if these were the only two chapel days.
About as mean a thing as a man can do at the University is to let his lady go to a ball game with some other girls and sit out in the sunshine while he, the boy, takes his seat in the grandstand. This was done a few days ago by one of the prominent students of the University.
The practice that is too often indulged in of going to the class parties gratis received some much needed discouragement at the sophomore party last night. While the means used by the gritty treasurer of the class were a little drastic, they were certainly very effective, and the action cannot be condemned. In the future those attending class parties will look well to their past records and the size of the man at the gate before they try to enter.
The following clipping was taken from the Manhattan Students Herald and relates to their treatment while at a recent game upon the Methodist diamond at Baker.
"It is bad enough when there are nine men on a baseball team to play against, but when there is an unprincipled umpire thrown in conditions are beyond mention. Such was the case at Baker. The decisions of Cook were the worst the team has ever run up against in any game ever played. He is a regular member of the Baker team, and, though he did not, in this game, don a uniform, he was their star player. This is not the first time we have received such treatment at this place."

IT takes longer to build a court-house than it does to put up an exposition building. The one is meant for looks and wear, and the other one for looks. It takes longer and costs more to build College Brand Clothes than any other clothes. They are not meant just for looks. They are meant for wear, too. They are hand shaped—hand worked suits WHICH MEANS MOST. There's not a needle stitch that would count for additional wear or shape retaining that is left out. All around the upper part of the coat the tailor's finger and needle have created an outline for the garment that will last as long as the coat exists. So that either end of the season is the same thing to a College Brand Suit. They're smart, they're extreme. The best fitting and the best finished clothes in America, without being highest in price. For young men who are climbing up in years and for older men who would like to climb down them.
