SENTIMENT IS UNANI- MOUS
The Kansan again wants to urge upon the students the importance of their expressing their opinions upon the matter of quiz week reform. If you are in favor of it, say so, tell your instructors about it; ask them to work for it, sign one of the many petitions that are being circulated in the halls asking for a change in the present system of giving examinations.
We believe that is up to the students themselves whether or not the new system will be adopted. We believe the faculty is fair and wants to do the right thing in the matter and that if they can be shown that the student body as a whole are united against the obsolete method of giving quizzes now in vogue many of those who are now against making the change will favor it.
The action of the Pan-Hellenic, an organization representing more than 250 students, yesterday when it voted unanimously in favor of the new system is only representative of what the general sentiment of the school is in regard to the proposed reform. Among the eating clubs and the larger body of non-fraternity students the sentiment is equally strong and as well crystalized against allowing the present system of quiz week to continue.
The only opposition the plan has met with so far is among a few students of the engineering school and that number is extremely small when compared to the legion in favor of the
change. In face of the sentiment of no small part of the faculty and the practically unanimous sentiment among the students themselves demanding a change in quiz week, we believe the university council ought to and will do the only fair thing, give the proposed system a fair trial.
A small handful of spectators at the basket ball game Monday evening showed an entire lacking in the essentials of true sportsmanship and true gentlemanliness when they hissed the decisions of the referee. Whether the decision was right or wrong, and in this case there was no doubt but that it was right, there can be no provocation which will justify such a display of false college spirit. Such conduct does not reflect credit to the university and certainly not to the persons concerned. It has no place at the University of Kansas.
Dean Briggs' excellent chapel talk on Monday was one of the cleverest, as well as one of the most helpful addresses, that have been given at the University in years. His discussion of the "Ethical Side of College Loyalty" struck home to every person, student or professor, who heard him. It was a clean, wholesome, much needed sermon and can not fail to leave its impress.
FOR RENT-A furnished seven room house. Inquire at 1125 Vermont street.
Hurry along, Sir!
Time is getting short.
Look at your watch.
Don't think we can keep this sale going right along.
Couldn't stand it.
It would 'bust' John D.
If you've not been in,
you've been missing something.
Never had such a sale in our history.
People know that, when we say "Clearance Sale" at the end of a season, it means business from the word go.
Let us ask you!
When you can buy a $25.00 or $30.00 Suit or Overcoat for $18.50, a $20.00 or $22.00 Suit or Overcoat at $14.50, or Pants, Fancy Vests, etc., in same proportion, do yo think it good policy to turn down the opportunity?

Afterthoughts
The Washburn Review telling about the Washburn glee club concert proudly chronicles the fact that the singers wore real dress suits as advertised. "Those who paid their money cheerfully just to see certain boys in dress suits," were delighted to find that Washburn lads really "acted as though they were used to them."
The freshmen met yesterday and held their biennial election of officers.-Baker Orange.
They must have the two year kind down there also.
"Uncle Jimmy" is anxiously awaiting his annual delegation of foot ball candidates from the engineering school.
A K. U. professor has figured out an explanation of why the Nome basket ball team beat us. The Artic lads practice every night when at home, and up there the nights are six months in length you know.
What's the use of dreaming about the flunks to come? A century from now, you'll think they're only fun.
K. U. Doctor to diphtheria scare victim: "You are fined three dollars and three days in bed."
Of course such a radical change in the "old way" of doing things, as the proposed quiz week reform must be opposed by the faculty chapter of the "Hammer and Padlock Club."

The ladies of the faculty will give a tea for University girls Friday January 24 from 3 to 5 in the Classical Museum.
