TO REWARD DEBATERS AND NEWSPAPER MEN.
The Kansan would like to see the faculty adopt the rule of rewarding debaters and students who do sufficient journalistic work in the University. The athlete receives his "K", and he is entitled to recognition at the hands of the institution to which he gives so much gratuitous service; the incessant grind is rewarded by membership in an honorary fraternity, and he deserves that too, for the good things that comes his way are few and far between, and are seldom coveted by his fellows.
But there is one class of university students who never taste the flattery of reward. The debaters and newspaper men of the university belong to this group. As far as work is concerned most of them would trade places with the athletes. So far glory is concerned the athlete's is a thousand times more dazzling than his own, but he has always been content to work and wait, and now and then to flunk.
And now a plan is to be proposed by which these unknown, unhonored and unrewarded students will get something that is coming to them. The Kansan hopes to see faculty take some serious action in regard to the matter.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The debaters who by long and hard work won the first victory that Kansas has ever won over Colorado in debate deserve to be congratulated. While victory is probably its own greatest reward, it will not be out of place for faculty and students to let these men know that their efforts for the University are appreciated.
The Daily Nebraskan says that students in the University of Nebraska are excusing themselves for flunking by saying everyone else in school flunked. According to reports it has become a popular fad in the Nebraska institution to flunk.
The old totem pole, which is
now buried in rubbish in the basement of Fraser Hall, would not only make an interesting relic if placed on the campus, but would be an every day witness of the spirit of the old University days. If it is unadvisable to put it on the campus, it should be given a spot in the Museum. At least it should be rescued from its present obscurity.
Dr. Lyman Abbott, America's greatest theologian and one of its greatest orators, will be at the University all next week. With this and the famous art collection now on display, and the noted musicians that are to soon be here Kansas University appears to be getting a few of the good things that belong to it.
Kansas came out strong last night on the field events but in nearly all the running events Kansas came out a little short. It never was in the province of a Jayhawker to run—from a Missourian.
One of the latest innovations in the work of improving social conditions in the University of Michigan is the establishment of a students' court where all students who transgress city ordinances are tried for their offences. Considering the effective work of the Lawrence police court there is no necessity for such a court here unless it be to handle the extra rush of business that seems to be going on at present.

CURIOUS TOTEM POLE.
Memorial of Class of '93 Now in Rubbish Heap.
CHOOSING BEST PICTURES.
Buried in a heap of rubbish in the basement of Fraser Hall is a totem pole, the memorial of the class of 1893. The pole is a curious looking thing and was carved here at that time by Alexander Shaw. It has various characters on it which represent phases of school life. It was placed on the campus with due ceremony at the class day program in 1893. It remained standing several years and was finally shot down by students holding a celebration.
Critics Show Varied Tastes in Selecting Favorites in Exhibit.
The critics at the art exhibit are beginning to pick their favorite pictures. The range of choice is wide and many studies have been selected as the best.
Lucien Simon's "Mass in Brittany" is attracting a great deal of attention. "The Swimming Hole" by Prof. W. A. Griffith, "In the Mountains of East Tennessee" by E. L. Henry, and "Was It For the Best" by Harry Roseland are some of those in the favored list.
Bryan an Acacia.
The senior laws will hold a Moot Court Wednesday afternoon to try Hamlet, prince of Denmark for the murder of his father.
William Jennings Bryan was elected an honorary member of the Daleth chapter of the Acacia fraternity last week at the University of Nebraska.
