THE KANSAN FAVORS FRESHMEN RULES.
The Kansan wants to make its position clear in regard to the student agitation that has been going on the past few days in regard to the imposing of rules on the freshman class. The Kansan is heartily in favor of the rules and would like to see them every one enforced if it can be done without riot and the revival of class scraps. This the Kansan is inclined to believe can be done. But it can not be done if the upperclassmen go out hunting for the freshmen with clubs. As the Chancellor says those wishing to impose the rules on the freshmen have begun at the wrong end. The first move in the enforcement of the rules is to select some kind of a representative organization. The selection of a cabinet such as the Chancellor suggested in chapel Friday would seem to suit the purpose. Give to freshmen a representative. Let the class as an organization acquiesce in the rules and then any unruly members can be easily dealt with.
As for trying to enforce the rules by riot it will never succeed. The University, if necessary, would resort to law to maintain order. The officials of the University have indicated this in the plainest terms. And then students must remember that this is a state institution, supported by the people, and that they will not stand for very much "horse-play." In the democratic old state of Kansas it is dangerous to attack any man, even though he be a freshman.
The Kansan, now, does not want to throw the least discouragement in the way of the enforcement of the rules. It is back of any move to enforce them that is fair and effective. Let's get together and quit beating the air.
There are in school several men who should be trying out for the football squad. Every man, who has the ability to take part in any University
activity, is duty bound, as a member of the school, to enter into his favorite sport and do all in his power to further the interests and the fame of his alma mater. A football man who has the weight, the strength, and the experience to make the Jayhawker squad and then refuses to train or put himself under any kind of discipline, unless he has an excellent excuse, is nothing short of a traitor to the school. The failure of a season may be due to a weakness on the team that could easily have been filled by several men, had they come out and trained.
To Speak at Leland Stanford.
Charles Moreau Harger of the Journalism department has gone to California for three weeks. He will make an address at Leland Stanford University on "Journalism," and is also on the program of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress at San Francisco. He delivered the address at the opening of the new public library in Abilene Thursday evening.

You Young Chaps
If you want the satisfaction of knowing that no man or youth in the land is dressed in more perfect taste than you are this fall, select your suit from any one of the various sets of new models now exhibited in our youths' department. Some of the designs are extreme, of course,' but no one can say that they are not thoroughly in accord with good taste, culture and refinement. It is, in a word, the most perfectly complete array of young men's swagger, fashionable suits this community has viewed in years. Every garment in every line is a brand new and authoritative design for this fall and winter
