A TRACK COACH AT ANY PRICE.
Everyone at the University is unanimous in wanting an experienced track coach to succeed Hagerman but at the present time it looks as though the whole matter might be allowed to drop because of lack of funds. The state does not support the athletic association here as is done in Missouri and other nearby commonwealths and athletics must depend on student support and gate receipts from the big games. The Kansan has stated several times that the students were so anxious to see a winning track system started here that they would willingly make the necessary sacrifice and stand an additional levy of fifty cents on the athletic season ticket. With such a small individual increase a good coach can be obtained who will devote his entire time to the work and who will lift track athletics out of the miserable rut that has bound its course ever since track meets have featured athletics at this University. The long string of defeats that the school has enjoyed in the cleanest of all sports is a disgrace to the University and makes every student and alumni blush when the record is thrown up to him. A good track coach at any price should be the aim and design of the student body.
The University Missourian in a recent number argues that the students of the Kansas City, Missouri, high schools are in duty bound to attend Missouri University and that those who attend other schools, Kansas in particular, are disloyal to their own state. The writer on The Missourian seemingly forgets that the products, the people, and the good will of Kansas has done much more for Kansas City than the state of Missouri has done, and it is only fair and right that some of those whose interests and whose sympathies lie in this state should attend this University. Kansas has as
much of a claim on the big city as has Missouri, and while unfortunately it lies outside Kansas bounds it is still a Kansas city.
Today the Quill, the annual publication of the University's only strictly literary society, is out for sale. The Quill is the only magazine published here in the course of the year and it is likely that the publication will in time become a regular monthly magazine. The Quill this year is an eighty page booklet and contains the best stories written by students this year.
In spite of the bad weather on last Saturday the May Fete was a success. The girls of the University would not be hampered by the rain and the crowd of twelve hundred that enjoyed the Fete proves how successful the girls were.
