THE UNIVERSITY IN POLITICS.
The enemies and friends of the University have long deplored the fact that the chancellor and various professors play the game of politics every two years in the interest of the University. The "dissenting" members of the legislature are verbose with attacks upon this political activity. The fact is that it is a disgrace that the University was ever dragged into the game of politics. And it is also a fact that the legislature dragged it in. Long ago it was recognized that, unless the chancellor with all the friends of the Universiity lobied and used every conceivable influence at their command, the appropriations would be woefully deficient for the needs of the school. Only by playing politics could the University obtain necessary funds, and so of course, the University played politics. If the legislature is sincere in wishing every vestige of political activity banished from the University let them arrange a system by which the school may be cared for and perpetuated without the biennial fighting, pleading and compromising that features the passage of every appropriation bill. Let the legislature take steps to insure the University a steady income in keeping with the wealth, importance and growth of the state and the school will keep strictly out of state politics. How much would the appropriation have been in the past few years if the chancellor had remained quietly in Lawrence during the sessions of the legislature and let things run their course unhindered?
The athletic board is about to grant suitable rewards to athletes in all lines. These rewards, in whatever shape they may be, should be distinctive marks by which all athletes of the University, past and present, may be readily recognized. Presented to the gate keepers they should be an open sesame to local contests of all kinds. The athletes of the University
have done and should continue to do much for the school and it is only right that clean sportsmen and stalwart men should be encouraged in athletics by distinctions of various kinds.
"I think that 'Richlieu' is one of the best Shakespeare plays that I ever saw," said a student who attended the play in Kansas City last Saturday.

Here's a two-button coat with a long rapier lapel and full chest effect. It's getting a lot of attention in our young men's suit display because of its novel and catchy appearance. Wish we could picture all the models and patterns in this display. You'd be here in double quick time. The values are especially strong—the greatest we have ever given. Ask to see the assortments at
