ARE YOU A SUBSCRIBER OF THE KANSAN?
At Purdue University the students' publication threatened to discontinue unless at least half of the students in the school subscribe for the paper. As a result the required number of students was obtained and the paper is still running. Now the Kansan does not intend to make any threats of that kind, but it does believe it is entitled to better support by the students of the University. There are probably not a hundred students in the University that do not read every issue of the Kansan, but on the other hand there are probably not over a third of the students who are bona fide subscribers. Fraternities and sororities, composed of twenty or thirty members, take one or two copies. Boarding clubs with twenty students are down for from one to two subscriptions. Students are not as a rule that pecunious. It is only neglect on the part of students who should give some support to the college paper. The Kansan has refrained from harping on this question as many college papers do, and it is grateful for the support it does receive from less than a third of the student body. It does, however, believe it could issue a paper of much more credit to the University if the other two-thirds of the students would give it the support they are well able to give.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
In the management of the University buildings there are some curious survivals from the days when the University was not much more than an overgrown high school. For instance, there is the matter of closing the library for an hour at supper time and at noon every Saturday. Down at Emporia the normalites have the run of the library every weekday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. It strikes us that that arrangement is more nearly calculated to serve all the needs of the students than the one in force here.
Of course the student who complained that our library is closed "every time anybody feels hungry" was guilty of slight exaggeration. But at any rate it should be open on Saturday afternoons. It would be better to have it closed on Friday evenings than on Saturday evenings, if it must be closed one evening of the week, for on Saturday evening the student would not be averse to putting a few licks at honest study in view of the day of rest to follow.
The Kansan, endeavoring to carry out as well as possible its duty of supplying news to the University body, will have a special representative at the Nebraska game next Saturday, and will receive telegraph bulletins, the manager of athletics generously agreeing to help pay the telegraph tolls of the game in detail. These bulletins will be posted in Fraser Hall as fast as they arrive. All students who are unable to go to Lincoln are invited to make use of the Kansan's bulletin service.
Everybody must help in the football demonstration tomorrow. Those who are going to Lincoln will need to loosen up their vocal chords as a preliminary to keeping "Rock! Chalk!"

Afterthoughts
The Nebraskan got out a red special when Nebraska beat Ames. The Nebraskan's blue special is due to follow the Kansas game.
If Coach Monilaw really wants a winning football team, it might profit him to pattern after what the voters of his state did in the matter of the governorship.
Dodd Gaston of the Topeka Capital admits that his only reason for praising up the K. U. girls is that he is peeved at not having been invited by the Washburn girls to a single party for a year.
New Bible Study Course.
As a result of the recommendation of the International Bible Conference of College Men, which was held at Columbus, Ohio, a short time ago, Secretary Hagerman of the Y. M. C. A. is introducing in the fraternities of the University a course of study covering the political and social significance of the life and teachings of Jesus. A book of twelve lectures, written by Prof. J. M. Jenks, of Cornell University, on the political teachings of Crist will be used as a text for the course.
First Weekly Vespers.
The first of the weekly vespers was held Sunday afternoon in the chapel. Professor J. E. Boodin gave the address. Miss Hubbell sang a solo and a quartette furnished music.
The Masque club held its first full rehearsal last night at North College.
