Keep a file of the Kansan and at the close of a four year course you will have a history of the University.
The Kansan stands for the same principles of building up the University and its various organizations and fairness to every individual as were inaugurated when the paper was placed upon a competitive merit system three years ago. At times we expect to knock but only when conditions are such that we deeply believe a "rap" may be for the good of the University. If we are to be square, we want the hearty support of the students. We want every student in the University to read the Kansan and we must have a large per cent on the subscription list. Send the paper to your home folks and see how glad they are to read what is taking place at the University. It will almost take the place of a letter.
Now that the congestion of the first few days of school in the halls is practically over you can begin to see gathering here and there little groups of students planning out slates for the political season. Within the next few days the halls will be filled with a humming and the professors who have been here many years will know "why" when in many cases they hear no answer to the call of the roll in their classes.
Some one offered as a suggestion to those in charge of the enrolment that a rope be attached to the door of the registrar's office and then be fixed at each station around the course the new student must pass. In this way the new student could hold on to the rope and when he found it fixed
he would know it was a stopping place. There would be no danger of getting lost as the rope would lead the bewildered student through the labyrinth of stops safely to the starting place.
The athletic board will hold a special meeting tomorrow to decide upon that troublesome question which has kept sporting circles in a whirl of excitement for the past month—where shall the Thanksgiving Game be played? The plan of holding the contest at Joplin ended by the refusal of the Santa Fe to give satisfactory rates. Everybody was glad the project ended that way for sentiment was dead against taking the contest to Joplin. It looked too much like playing the game for money alone and the sacrificing of the spirit of amateur athletics for financial considerations.
The logical place to hold the contest is on McCook field this fall and at Columbia next. It is in keeping with the spirit of the university that all athletic contests should be played on college grounds, and now that there is a difficulty in securing grounds at Kansas City the opportunity of bringing the game here should not be permitted to slip by.

A Communication.
To the Editor:
Now that it is found impossible to have the Thanksgiving foot ball game in Kansas City, is it not a good time to make two desirable reforms in our athletic schedule?
A great many people think that an exciting public athletic contest is inappropriate to Thanksgiving day, and would it not be best for us to respect their scruples? We gave up playing a base ball game on Decoration day out of respect to such scruples, and it would take away a source of a good deal of criticism of the University if we should play our final foot ball game on the Saturday preceding or following Thanksgiving day.
Then, University sports are for the benefit of students, not for the populace of a great city; and we can secure this only by having our games always on the athletic fields of the competing Universities. That is the best way of keeping them purely University and not professional, in fact sports rather than mere contests. That would make it possible for all students, even the poorest, to attend them; for the whole body of students, in fact, instructors and employees of the University to gather around the players and inspire and support them.
Sincerely yours,
A. M. Wilcox.
