EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Now is the time to see that arrangements are made for the better handling of the freshmen that come to the University next year. Some plan should be decided on right away that will provide for the more cordial reception of the green ones who blow in from the farms and hamlets of Kansas. It is a difficult matter to decide just how to go about this. Who shall see to it that the freshmen are welcomed to the University with more cordiality? Every organization in the school can do something along the line of making the University a more pleasant place for the first few weeks of the school year, but the Kansan believes there should be some organized effort made by the University to care for the new arrivals for a few days at the beginning of the year at least. An information bureau should be established. A number of guides should be on hand to show the new comers about and they should be accorded a hearty welcome in all departments of the University both by faculty and students.
Please notify the business manager if any member of the staff refuses to receive your unpaid subscription.-The Minnesota Daily.
And is it possible that the students at Minnesota are so free from the taint of graft that they have to be watched to keep them from refusing money that belongs to them. Well the Kansan doesn't want to put on any airs of that kind. It has a better proposition than ever to offer. If any of the 170 subscribers who owe the Kansan one dollar will find a member of the board who refuses to take
the money the Kansan will give him a clear receipt for his unpaid bill.
The staff that made up the annual board are to be congratulated on the Jayhawker that they got out. It is not making an exaggerated statement to say that the class of 1908 put out the best book ever issued by a graduating school in the University and it is doubtful whether any school in the West can show a book that in contents and make-up will compare with the souvenir edition of the Jayhawker.
The originators of the regatta and the May fete deserve much credit for producing, at this time of the year, two of the most novel affairs ever witnessed at the University of Kansas. The water contests, decidedly new in University sports, can be made a crowd-attracting feature next year. The May games were too magnificent to be dropped by the wayside. Both events should be made annual affairs.
Only Ten More Need Apply.
My announcement for students desiring summer employment has been answered so heartily that I now ask for only ten more to fill up the quota required. Twenty of the best K. U. offers have already signed for the summer. No student can make less than $50 to $100 per week. Call and see me at once. T. T. Blakey, Fairfax Hotel.
To Teach in Gulf Biologic Station.
Prof. F. H. Billings will leave Friday for the Gulf Biologic Station, located at the mouth of the River Calcasieu, near Cameron, La. Professor Billings will be one of the instructors at that station during the summer session. His classes, the last week, will be met by Prof. W. C. Stevens and Mr. Starin.

Phi Delts Gave Dinner.
The Phi Delts entertained at dinner last night in honor of Professor W. C. Abbott, who leaves the University this summer to accept a position at Yale. A five course dinner was served at seven o'clock, after which speeches were made by visitors and alumni. The rest of the evening was spent in singing fraternity and University songs. The chapter presented Professor Abbott with a pair of gold cuff links bearing the fraternity coat of arms. The guests were, John H.
