EDITORIAL COMMENT
But two days remain in which to join the hospital association on the fee of two dollars. In two days time the officers of the association who have worked so hard to establish it will know whether or not all their labor has been a failure. It is expected that nearly all those who intend to join will do so in the next two days, for after that the fee will be three dollars. The association yet needs a large number of members to make the necessary 700 that are needed for the life of the organization.
Are the students of the University going to let such a worthy enterprise fail because they will not support it? The cost is small, the good that may be derived is great. Already two or three students have realized the benefits of the association. There is no one who believes he is going to need the benefit of the association, but even suppose you never get sick you can afford to donate two dollars for the good of those less fortunate than yourself. Three hundred students should pay in their two dollars to the association before day after tomorrow.
The Daily Missourian, the paper issued by the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri is now well on its feet. It contains both telegraph news and local news, city news and university news. It is a good newspaper, but when that is said the story is told. It has on it the odor of the laboratory and is woefully lacking in its editorial department. It surreptitiously avoids the discussion or the taking of sides in any affair pertaining to the university and confines its editorials to such subjects as "A European War," "Export of Canned Goods." Such subjects manifestly have no local interest and remind one of the finished experiment of an embryo journalist. The paper must be a great addition to the school of journalism and it is ideally "made-up" but as a live progressive newspaper answering to the ideal newspaper that those who lecture before the journalism students talk about it is a failure.
The enthusiasm manifested at the last game was about the weakest the student body has ever been guilty of exhibiting and the cheering was about the poorest ever. There is something radically wrong. It can not be that the University has lost its love of the game of football or the students their patriotism for the institution. The Kansan is inclined to believe the fault lies in the seating of the rooters at the game. No cheer leader can lead a crowd of rooters when they are separated as the crowd was at the last game. A section of the seating space should be set aside for the rooters and no one else allowed in it. And these seats should be free to all who want to come and add enthusiasm to the game.
Coach Hagermann has been carrying the torch of civilization to the primeval people at Haskell Institute by introducing the game of lacrosse among them, a sport which the Anglo-Saxon originally learned from the noble red man.
The "Junior" is one of the many nitty overcoat models featured exclusively in Ober's brilliant aggregation of young men's fall and winter raiment. It is a long gracefully cut 2 button garment with wide sweeping lapels and cuff effect, and though tailored in the same manner and from the same materials as the usual $25 grades. Ober's price is but
$20.00

Professor Boynton says there are thirty bachelors in the University faculty, and about three old maids. When the ratio of ten to one is reached is it any wonder the bachelors are ready to organize a club.

K. U. NOTES.
One week of school and no drinks
A little early for unzizzes.
Don Yeoman is taking fifteen hours a week of about the hardest work on the hill, and has prospects of being a very good student—nevertheless and notwithstanding.
Leroy Cannon has been "fussing around with the ladies so much that his landlady has cut his roomrent down to halt; she's just ashamed to take the money.
A big football game was played here Saturday—State Normal 0; K. U. 11. Here you buy an athletic ticket for $3.00, which admits to all the games and concerts of the year. If you paid for all by single admission it would cost you a little over $16.00.
Lewis and Glenn have gone "frat" and they have all they can do to keep away from the upperclassmen and the Freshman duties at their houses.
Don't know whether Happy is extremely devoted to his studies or whether he is deeply meditating a trip to Baker, but we hardly ever see him off the hill.
And speaking of the "hill", unless you have climbed Pike's Peak you have no idea what we have to do every day to reach old Mount Oread. If Bid Wolfe was up here for just one year we would give him such an expansion you wouldn't recognize him on his return.
All the boarding clubs here give dances nearly every week. Imagine some of our Kingman girls singing "Waltz me around again, Willie."
Here's hoping that old K. C. H.S. will have a string of victories on her gridiron this fall. We're not there in person but are immensely so in spirit.
Thespians Hold Tryout.
The Thespians will hold their final tryout Wednesday evening in Fraser Hall. Fifteen people are to be chosen. The tryout as well as the work for the coming year will be under the personal supervision of Miss Georgia Brown of Kansas City.
The Masque Club will hold a final tryout in Fraser Hall tonight. At the preliminary tryout last Thursday evening about fifty were present.
