A SUFFRAGE PETITION.
Chancellor Would Let Women Choose Presidential Electors.
Friday a petition was circulated among the faculty, asking Governor Stubbs to send a message to the legislature,asking favorable action on the bill giving women the right to vote for presidential electors. This bill comes up before the legislature the last of this week. This is the only action the state legislature can pass upon in giving the women of the state equal suffrage.
The right of women to vote in state elections could come only through an amendment to the state constitution. The petition was signed by 86 faculty members, including all the women, and by Chancellor Strong. Governor Stubbs will send the message.
MANHATTAN KEEPS SILENT.
No Word Comes from K. S. A. C. in Regard to Invitation.
No word has as yet been received from Manhattan as to whether or not the invitation which was sent to the student body and the faculty will or will not be accepted. The telegram inviting the members of the Agricultural college to visit the University was sent last Thursday and it was supposed the students of the school would make a decision at their assembly services Saturday morning.
Several members of the faculty who wrote personal letters of invitation to members of the faculty at Manhattan have received letters of regret.
2,167 is Enrollment.
The enrollment early this afternoon had reached 2,167. The mark for the year will not exceed this mark to a great extent.
The annual anniversary party of the Sig Alph fraternity will be held Friday night in F.A. A. hall.
NOT A SCHOOL OF SNOBBISHNESS
Under the head "Foolish Talk of Snobbishness" the Topeka Capital in its editorial column this morning says—
"The Agricultural college at Manhattan has an army of militant friends, and they have rallied about its standard during the discussion of the continuance of the engineering department. That is commendable, and the college is honored in the friends it has. But there are just a few overzealous champions of the college who add abuse of another great institution of Kansas—the University—to their support of the Agricultural college. That is not creditable to them. It is not necessary that the University should be dragged down in order that the college at Manhattan should be kept up. There is room for both, and Kansas needs both, each for its own work. Some of these overzealous partisans accuse the University of snobishness, of being the institution of "city-bred" youths, the "rich man's sons," and as representing a spirit of contempt for democracy.
And this in Kansas! "Tommy rot" seems the proper word for such misrepresentation of the big Kansas school at Lawrence, one-half of whose male students earn either their full way or a good part of it by their labor. Think of the democratic University of Francis H. Snow and of his successor, Frank Strong, and their associates, W. H. Carruth, "Uncle Jimmy" Green and the whole body, for that matter, of the Lawrence faculty, set down as an institution of snobs! The charge could come only from one ignorant of the University, or who regards education itself as tantamount to snobbishness.
"It is filling its place, nevertheless, and doing its work. Its graduates are found in every community and it has given Kansas a number of its present leaders in public and private life. They are not "snobs." The term is not to be applied to Attorney General Fred Jackson, to Governor Herbert Hadley, of Missouri, to United States Senator Borah of Idaho (whom the Springfield Republican's correspondent at Washington names as the coming leader of the increasing group of 'radicals' in the Senate), all of whom are graduates of the University of Kansas. The only Kansas Congressman who has ever held the chairmanship of a leading committee of the House is a graduate of the University. In public service as well as in commercial life and the professions, the University is a growing force in the State and beyond, through the successes of its sons."
FIRST TRYOUT MONDAY.
Debating Council Decides on New Debate Tryout.
At a meeting of the Debating Council held this afternoon, it was decided to hold both the preliminary tryouts for the Colorado and Missouri debates next Monday evening, February 15, at 7:15 in Room 15, Fraser Hall.
If there are more than twelve contestants, a squad of ten men will be chosen at that time, from which five men will be picked in a second tryout Thursday evening, February 18. If there are not more than twelve contestants, the five men will be chosen Monday night and the second tryout will be dispensed with. Of these five the men ranking highest will be given their choice in order of their rank of the team on which they will debate.
The question for debate is the same with both schools—Resolved, That the United States should encourage a merchant marine by bounties and subsidies. Kansas has the affirmative with Missouri and the negative with Colorado.
Michigan Back in the Fold.
Michigan University will resume athletic relations with Minnesota next fall and this event marks the end of the long struggle made by Michigan to gain a position in Eastern athletics and remain independent of the western conferences. Michigan will probably petition for her former place in the conference before long.
