Robinson gymnasium, so long the object of the athletes hopes and the pride of every loyal K. U. student has at last been opened to the public. Now the University has a place where visitors may go and we shall not be ashamed to tell them "this is our gym." The completion of the magnificent new building will mark a new epoch in the history of this growing institution. The new building is excelled by few such edifices in the west. "Robinson gymnasium" is a name fitting for the new building. It is altogether proper that the building should bear the name of the man who gave so freely of his time and money to the upbuilding of the University.
The Freshmen Medie class has gone on record as being opposed to the vicious practice of cribbing. Of course in a public expression on this question one could not be expected to do otherwise than to say 'Amen.' But why does this move come from among the freshmen? Is it because the freshmen on entering the medic school were so shocked at the condition of affairs that they were willing to head the movement for reform? Now if the upper classes want to save their good name it would be well for them to follow the noble example set by the freshmen.
At the University of Wisconsin, concerted absence from any appointed duty by a class or any number of students together is regarded as a violation of good order, and may be followed by suspension or dismission at the discretion of the faculty. Wisconsin Daily.
Wonder what effect such a rule would have upon some K. U. students (rather visitors) who
"cut" classes for nonsenical reasons or are called home for a few days by their own, rather than their father's request.
Afterthoughts
"The rain it raineth every day Upon the just and the unjust fellows— But chiefly on the just because The unjust steal the justs' umbrellas."
A freshman, standing in the hall of the first floor of Fraser, heard the gong ringing for class dismissal. He saw the students coming down stairs and immediately sent in a fire alarm.
Professor Abbott dubbed the steps of the law building "the Law rest-room." Pretty good, eh?
Strange things are happening at K. U. this year! The other day in his chapel speech Professor Haworth didn't crack a single joke. What'll be the end of it all!
There seems to be some difference of opinion as to the success of the Freshman spread.
The six year old son of a K. U. professor had just returned from church where the minister preached on the text: "Fear not, I will send thee a comforter. "Well dear," said his mother, "what was the sermon about?" "Aw!" replied the boy,
Ask any of the good dressers you meet anywhere.

If you want to take a paper that is strictly up-to-date—
Hottest news
Does narrate;
If you want to know for certain what the Fates are going to do
With K. U.
And Mizzoo;
If you want to get your clothes pressed at the Pantatorium;
If you want to visit Victor's
For aesthetic chewing gum;
If you want to be a first class
Unadulterated Gun;—
Then you ought to take the "Kansan"
Dig up the mon, dig up the mon!
The motto for the chapel door this year ought to be "Something doing all the time."
Just think of the girls that will have to press pleated panama skirts tonight!
It seemed Saturday as if the good old days of barbarian football had returned.
Let's see, did I give you your receipt for the Kansan? Oh, you haven't paid for it yet! Ah, thank you, much obliged.
A Communication.
To the Kansas:
Next Saturday our football team goes to Washburn. The outcome of this game is not at all certain. But it is certain that, if a great majority of the K. U. students accompany the team and cheer for them, as they play that game, we will be surer of victory than otherwise. What did enthusiasm do for our boys last year at Nebraska? What it did there, it can do at Topeka. Why not have a mass meeting on Friday? Why not get "Uncle Jimmy," Coach Hagerman and Parry to put a little enthusiasm into the veins of the students? Then we will go to Topeka, 1,000 or 1,500 strong, with a determination to do our part in defeating Washburn. With a little support, our team might, this year, be an ever victorious" one. Who can tell? A STUDENT.
