KANSANTO CONTINUE AS TRI-WEEKLY.
The Kansan will continue the coming year as a tri-weekly paper. The tri-weekly was started the latter part of last year and has been a success in every way. The subscription rate was not changed last term, but it has been found necessary to advance the rate for the coming year. The tri-weekly Kansan subscription rate will be $1.50 for the school year. The Kansan has always received generous support from the student body and trusts the same support will be forthcoming this year. An effort will be made to keep in close touch with student affairs and the doings of those who have been in the University but are now gone. The management of the Kansan hopes to see the list of subscribers from the alumni and ex-students of the University grow much larger than it has ever been before.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Out of over 1500 students who had up until last evening enrolled in the University only about 400 had paid the athletic fee of $3.00. It is of course not to be believed that out of the 1500 students enrolled only 400 are going to support student enterprises, but it is hard to understand why the students do not indicate their intentions to be loyal supporters of the organizations of the University by paying the fee to start with. The three dollar fee system to be a success must have the support of a majority of the students. It is unnecessary to speak of the advantages the fee is to the student. The admission to the football games alone that the ticket allows is more than double the cost of the ticket. In addition to this there are eight other student enterprises that share in the fund and furnish from two to ten games or entertainments. It is a saving to the student, a support for student organizations and a boost for the University to pay the fee. For these reasons the Kansan is inclined to believe every student enrolling in the University should pay the fee. If you have not paid make haste to do so.
In the wicked, olden days tradition says the fraternities were wont to lure the freshmen to the chapter house and entertain him in the convivial manner of a Kentucky colonel. But all has changed. It is reported that one of the fraternities presents each rushee with a Y. M. C. A. ticket. Alas! ere the death groans of the Theta Nu Epsilon have hardly died the fraternity world of K. U. seems to be reaching for the millennium.

BAILEY PURE FOOD EXPERT.
On National Committee to Frame Sanitary Laws.
Professor E. H. S. Bailey of the chemistry department attended the National Pure Food Convention held at Mackinac, Michigan, this summer. He was appointed one of five men who will compose a committee to suggest more stringent sanitary laws to the various state legislatures. The convention decreed a war against all frauds in food manufacture. The use of preservatives in foods and the bleaching of flour will be especially attacked. Professor Bailey will have charge of the pure food crusade in Kansas.
Kansas City the Place.
Wednesday Owner Tebeau came to terms with the football managers of Kansas and Missouri Universities and a contract was entered into, by the terms of which the annual Thanksgiving game is to be played at Association park in Kansas City for the next five years. Tebeau is to receive seventeen and one-half per cent of the gross receipts of the game as rental. The number of passes issued has been limited to 300,125 to each University and fifty to the park management.
Association park can be made to accommodate more than 10,000 people and owing to the close score last year there ought to be a record-breaking crowd at the exhibition next November.
NEW RUSHING STUNT
K. U. Fraternity Trys to Lure Freshies With Y. M. Cards.
One of the fraternities has added a new rushing stunt to its list which IF it was carried out by all the fraternities would make for the religious good of the freshies and would be a gold mine for the Y. M. C. A A freshman was taken to one of the fraternity houses and among the many things done for him was the presentation of a membership card in the university Young Men's Christian Association. The unwary freshman took the card not knowing that it was worth a dollar and when he was found sometime later by some friends who belonged to another fraternity he had chewed one corner off the card. The freshman did not pledge to the fraternity that presented him the membership card for he was a wicked freshman and his mind was bent on things of this world.
