There is no denying that the folks up at the Agricultural College made a hit when they entertained the Kansas statesmen at Manhattan, but there is one way in which they wasted a lot of energy. Of course not many of the visitors were known personally to the students on the entertainment committee. They judged each one's influence in the legislature by his pompousness of bearing, with the result that janitors were confused with senators, and many a touching appeal for increased appropriations was poured into the shelllike ear of the first assistant chief superintendent of ventilation. A like misdirection of good chin-music might be avoided by appointing as megaphone man some Topeka newspaper man who has been "doing" the state house, when the faculty starts on its little seeing-thelegislature tour Friday morning.
"Why is it necessary for K. U. publications to insist that snobbishness is unknown there?" College Life, College of Emporia. Well we are not sure that we get the full import of the question, but we can answer it. It is necessary because of envy and jealousies that are indulged in in certain parts of the state by persons who should not have the audacity to tarnish the fair name of the citizenship of the state by calling themselves citizens. It is usually the man who knows that he should be snobbed that is always crying snob at some one else. That cry never comes from the great; it always emanates from the puny and is directed at the mighty. The man or woman who is snobbed at the state University may expect to be snobbed wherever he goes. If their inferiorities are so great, their frailties so many that the democratic atmosphere of this school will not cover them they are to be pitied but not condoled.
Down at Columbia a ladies' club has undertaken to investigate the grocers of the town with a view to insuring a better quality of food in the student boarding houses. What is needed here in Kansas is not so much proceedings against the grocers as measures for the financial relief of students who have to live at boarding houses.
The Baker Orange is busy these days rallying the Methodist hosts to stand up in favor of football at the Baldwin school. This football weather is expected to have a great influence in getting the sport reinstated.
