Within the bounds of Kansas University is an institution, established to promote brotherhood and good will among all the young men attending the University. The Y.M.C.A. occupies a place indispensible toward the best interests of the University. Its members meet the incoming freshmen who come here strangers to everyone and bring them to their house, introduce them to other young men, and seek employment for them if self support is needed. In fact many a man whose heart ached to get back home has been made to see a brighter life and higher goal through the agency of this institution. Thus it is plain to see the work of the Y.M. is tangible. Not only does the Y.M. offer support to the young men of the school, but the University gains in having a healthier moral reputation. Men over the state are ever ready to read of the condition at the University and the fact that an enterprising Y.M.C.A. exists here brings many new students who would otherwise go to denominational schools.
Secretary Hagerman is planning to have a new $50,000 building for the Kansas Y. M. C.A. within two more years. That the people of Kansas may see the need of a building enough to be willing to subscribe to a fund, we must first do our part as students. Not every one can lend to the religious side of the movement, but every student can pay the one dollar fee. Even much as the students are taxed for divers things, they can never subscribe to a nobler or more worthy institution than the Y. M.C.A. Think of the good emanating from the Y.M.C.A. and you cannot fail to recognize its merit.
The time is now ripe for some football enthusiasm among the
students.. The best team that ever battled on the gridiron could not go through the season victoriously unless it was given the support of the student body. The students here have had more than one example in the past of what enthusiasm in a football game can do. The lethargy that has been prevalent among the rooters should be thrown off at once. Let the students get together and choose some robust-lunged leaders and turn out and give the football team the support that itdeserves. Politics may be dead but the enthusiasm that impelled 500 students to go all the way to Lincoln to turn into victory what seemed inevitable defeat is still here. Lets ginger up a little. The football team needs the assistance of every loyal student and the Kansan believes it will receive this support when the students realize how urgent it is.
Kansas has as strong a line this year as is necessary under the new rules. The ends are fast and by midseason they will be equal to any in the West. Angney and Miller behind the line are as good as can be found anywhere. Forter, according to Parry, is the best kicker west of Pennsylvania and is not surpassed in the United States. All the men have their strong points and the coaching of Kenaedy and Parry has
Men who are posted say We've the best Clothing in town.
You'll find that they always favor this store.
Ask any of the good dressers you meet anywhere.
Any particularly nice thing you want to wear you'll be apt to find here.
It will be right, too.
If it's a Suit or Overcoat, there will be just the right number of buttons on the Coat—just the right roll on the lapel—Coat the right length—just the correct shape to the Trousers, etc., etc.
The price of the Suit will be just right, also.
In short, this is a just right Clothing House.
Our Motto: The best for the money in all lines.

Afterthoughts
The girl who dropped a hat pin down the rest room register last week, and recovered not only the hat pin, but an ink eraser and ten cents besides will try it again.
"It is much better to be held up by a man looking for money," said an M. U. professor in discussing the Thanksgiving game, "than to be held up by a rival school. But Missouri will be held for downs in either case.
The physiology students are trying to decide the sex of the skeletons by counting the ribs.
The Lawrence boarding house keepers have raised the rates in order to save enough to live on after the chancellor's dormitory idea materializes.
"And do you know," said the mother of a professor, "once in awhile my son finds a boy who can't master engineering."
How little notice they do take of us after we are pledged!
Mr. Stubbs says he never knew how he got to the Legislature. We wonder how he developed that campaign voice.
How busy our friends get when we pull out a Kansan subscription book!
John, the four year old son of a K. U. professor, much impressed by his first pair of white silk stockings, was heard solemnly saying to his sister: "Now Jeanette, I have on my new stockings, and I'm God. Is there anything you want?"
At the conclusion of a lengthy recitation by a student a few days ago, the professor ironically remarked, "your talk was interesting but you were on the wrong car."
Freshman to Chancelor: "In which building is the campus?"
It is rumored that the Robinson Gymnasium will open Monday.
The Sigma Nu pledges are getting all that is coming to them and a little bit more. The clown parade of pledges is a new idea. "We certainly get handed a lemon," was the way a real modest pledge dressed in a mother hubbard stated the situation.
Uncle Jimmie Green to freshman: "My dear boy, you look strong but I hate to see you straining your back holding up the walls of the Law building."
