THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1909
The first tryout for debates is to be held tonight. Owing to the generosity of a professor in the University, there will be a large number of contestants in the tryout. Students in the University of Kansas have never manifested the interest in debates they should. Those who enter the contests have nearly always been confined to the students of the law school. This should not be. The college should furnish more debaters than the law school because it is larger and the engineers should not remain out because they do not feel equal to competing with the euridite and scholarly laws. If the technical schools desire to ever become recognized leaders among the divisions of the University they must come out of the shops and laboratories and help develop that larger life that is a part of any great university.
Professor Carruth's candidacy for mayor of Lawrence should receive the support of the people of Lawrence. Dr. Carruth is not only an old citizen of the city but is a leader in the University. It is perhaps in this light of his connection with the University that his candidacy will be most discussed. There seems to have always been a breach between the citizens of Lawrence and students in the University. The occasions of rowdyism which in the earlier days probably caused the ill feeling has passed. There is no doubt as to Professor Carruth's fitness for the mayoralty. His ability is unquestioned, his honesty and integrity need no praise. His election to the mayor's hair would unite the town and the University as it has never been united before.
At the University of Minnesota the medical school will in the future require the attendance of students at classes until noon on Sunday. This action coming so soon after the University officials notified the members of the faculty that when they reach the age of
sixty-five they can consider themselves out of a job and turned out six of the old professors, seems to indicate that the University of Minnesota is getting immensely practical if it is trampling on heaven and humanity, and sentiment and all the finer things that make life worth living and an education worth the sacrifices which the Kansas law student says are so great. ___
The Michigan Daily says that Prof. Geo. L. Robinson, of the McCormick Theological Seminary, in an address at the University of Michigan divided students into four classes: "the sponge, who soaks up good and bad alike; the funnel, receiving at one end only as fast as it runs out at the other; the strainer which allows the wine to pass through and retains the scum; the sieve, which allows the pebbles and chaff to pass through and retains the wheat."
Well, that classification may be all right for the students of Michigan but out in prohibition Kansas no such classification as sponges, funnels, strainers, and sieves will apply.
At the University of Chicago every rooming house landlord or landlady is required to sign a contract with the university that certain accommodations will be furnished roomers and that girls will be furnished adequate parlor rooms for the entertaining of their company. Nevertheless rent is much cheaper at Chicago than at Lawrence. At Kansas it has long been the custom for those who rent rooming houses to conduct themselves as if the students had no rights which they were bound to respect, or even under the least obligations to respect.
Coach Frank Armin, or Ermin, or Arner, whoever he may be, said to be connected with a school somewhere in Kansas called Southwestern has picked an all Kansas football team in which he says the state University is not entitled to a place on the team. Really, seriously it was not commonly known in the northern part of the state that Southwestern college or university or seminary or whatever it is had a football team much less a coach until the reputed coach settled the championship of the state.
At the University of Wisconsin the Professors' University club had just secured a license from the United States to sell liquor in their club house, says The Cardinal. We are inclined to think this is a mistake from what we have heard of Wisconsin. It must have been only a renewal of the old license.
Coach Clapp of the University of Nebraska basketball team says he is very well satisfied with the showing the Cornhuskers made in Lawrence. And the same is true of Kansas. A man as easily satisfied as Dr. Clapp should always be happy.
Be sure and come over to the Fairfax after the theater and after the dance.
