The student assessment fee of $2.00 has been paid by 569 students out of 1061 enrolled. Of this number enrolled there is a small per cent of upper classmen and this in a large measure accounts for the apparent indifference. The fee is an excellent advantage offered to the students whereby they can see practically all the entertainments offered by the various organizations of the University, athletic, musical, and debating,-40 attractions in all-for the sum of two dollars. Besides the selfish purpose the student might find in buying the ticket he will also help develop the University spirit by bringing out a large attendance to the various entertainments.
The Kansan wishes to impress upon all students—new and old—the advisability of joining the Hospital Association. Those in the best of health are prone to disregard the time when sickness may come, but in the case of the Hospital Association the cost is so small and the possible benefits so overwhelmingly great that common sense demands that the students affiliate with it. The faculty, the students, everyone is in favor of the scheme. If the students hold back the project will fall through. Don't delay. Pay your fees when you enroll.
The trust microbe seems to be spreading into diverse places and occupations of late. Lawrence saw the "cab trust" blow up a few days ago. At Baldwin the barbers decided to charge 5 cents extra for shaving a man's neck and like the Lawrence livery men were advised by the County Attorney to reconsider their proposition. The next thing the boarding clubs will organize a trust and the laundry men will raise their prices.
A couple of enterprising young men upon arriving in town a few afternoons past, started to get a trasfer man to deliver their trunk and upon finding that about a dozen men were anxious for the job they
decided they could make the quarter of a dollar and started up the street carrying the trunk and were last seen going south past the 1300 block on Tennessee.
Washburn is trying the $2 voluntary fee for support of athletics this year and nearly every person enrolled has paid the fee.
Notwithstanding the sanguinary results that follow an encounter between K.U. and Baker students, the action of K. U. students in driving the 'bus trust out of business and of Baker students in suppressing the iniquitous neck-shaving trust show that the two schools are capable of forgetting their differences and working together in the cause of good citizenship. The possession of two such trust-busting institutions within its borders ought to give Douglas county a high place in the esteem of our trust busting president.
