THE NEED OF TRADI TIONS HERE.
The May Fete on next Saturday is the only affair of its kind pulled off at this University in the course of the year. There should be many of the same sort of celebrations held by the different classes and schools each school year. The engineers ought to set aside a day for a distinctive engineering celebration like the famous St. Patrick day at Missouri, the Laws would do well to have a mock trial day on which all kinds of stunts of interest to the whole University might be staged. This school is young and as yet has very few traditions and memories. And in the absence of such traditions and associations the students must make them. The memories clustering about the eastern schools develop the wonderful school spirit manifested there, and to create a school spirit here we must start a few innovations that will in time grow into worthy traditions.
The newly elected athletic board in cooperation with Manager Lansdon will soon choose a coach for the track team of next year. All parties concerned have made up their minds to get a first class, experienced coach to carry on the start made toward developing a winning team. There is no reason why a large institution like the University of Kansas which has winning teams in football, base ball, and basketball should fall so woefully down in the cleaner and more interesting sport of the track and field. The student body is willing to make any necessary sacrifice toward obtaining a coach who may aid in putting track where it belongs among University activities.
The next University function is the sophomore prom. Now is the time to hand in your dates and pay your prom dues.
