One of the unhappiest and most unfortunate items that has ever appeared in The Kansan came out in the last issue in a story on class politics. In the article a statement was made apropos to the Junior class election and a rumor, started by some one for some purpose, was recklessly and wantonly clothed with the semblance of truth. It is the present editorial policy of The Kansan to keep strictly out of political broils of every kind whatsoever, and in view of that policy the article was the more ill-timed and unfortunate. We can only do our best to rectify the mistake and say that the statement was unwarranted in fact, and that a great injustice was done. Too often in the heat of class politics a statement is made that reflection will not warrant, and the article evidently was handed in by some ill-advised reporter and allowed to slip by the eyes of the Managing Editor. Such a mistake and a move so entirely against the policy of the paper can only be lamented and guarded against in the future. It is high time in this University for a system of class politics to be introduced that will not eternally give rise to all kinds of slander and reckless statements on the part of one or both sides interested. The junior class election, just passed, illustrates, on both sides, to what extremes reckless youths may go to carry their points or to discredit the opposition.
The Union Pacific will give the students a special train to Lincoln on November sixth providing one hundred persons from Lawrence make the trip. The game between Kansas and Nebraska is always a rare sight and this year it will be harder fought than ever. Every student that can possibly go to Lincoln should make plans to that end at once. The issue of the game may depend upon the rooters from Kansas and the Jayhawkers can not afford to lose the contest because their backers are not on hand to encourage them with their rooting.
The engineers are planning to have a house warming for their fine new buildings. We venture to say that a custom analogous to "Uncle Jimmy's day" in the law school will be started by the engineers. Such customs are among the most pleasing and the most lasting associations about this institution.

HOLDS NEW FELLOWSHIP.
awarded the Holoplane fellowship in industrial chemistry in this university, arrived last Sunday from his home in Farmington, Connecticut, to take up the work. He received the degree of Ph.D. from Yale in 1909,the same time that Prof. D.F.McFarland, of the department of chemistry, received a like degree.
The fellowship was established by the Holoplane Glass Manufacturing Company of New York. It lasts two years, paying $1500 per year and ten per cent, of the net profits on any discovery made. The work on this fellowship is concerned with the relation of the optical properties of glass to its chemical constitution.
The University of Kansas is the first University to start accepting from manufacturers the establishment of fellowships for research. Cornell has followed Kansas in this by establishing a temporary industrial fellowship. The University of Toronto has also accepted the idea and proposes to establish some such fellowship.
CHEMICAL CLUB MET.
Professor Duncan Discussed Recent London Meeting.
At the meeting of the Chemical Club Wednesday afternoon Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan discussed "Some Phases of the London Meeting of the International Congress of Applied Chemistry." He reviewed and discussed the meeting in a general manner. There was a large number of men there from all parts of the world and many of the world's most famous chemists attended.
The club will meet weekly this year in room 101 of chemistry building. At the next regular meeting Prof. E.H.S. Bailey will discuss "The Denver Food Convention."
ADDRESSED Y. M. C. A.
Ex-Secretary Hagerman Talked About "Taking Scalps."
J. P. Hagerman, the former Y. M. C. A. secretary and track team coach, spoke at the Y. M. C.A. meeting Thursday evening on "Taking Scalps."
He began with a sympathetic sketch of the struggles of the various K. U. football teams for supremacy in the Missouri Valley, which he likened to the combats of Indian warriors in which they attempted to take the scalps and thus the honor of their foes. He then applied the analogy to the efforts necessary for a man to be victorious in his college life. Specifically he mentioned only the temptation of cribbing which comes to a student. A student might yield at this and many other points, said Mr. Hagerman, and still get through college with a fair appearance. But true success would come only to the men who conquered all temptation to evil even as the gridiron heroes overcome their antagonists. The men who thus took scalps in their own life would also inevitably help others to do the same.
Special music was furnished by a quartet composed of R. L. Douglas, Ralph Spotts, Herbert Cowan and Roy Metz.

INTEREST IN BIBLE WORK.

The University Y. W. C. A. held its first meeting for the year Wednesday afternoon with a good attendance. Miss Stevens the president of the Association, presided. Miss May Riggs talked on "The Association Girl and the Church." She discussed the plan of study for the young women's Bible classes in all the Lawrence churches this winter, and urged every University girl to give some time to Bible study.
Miss Riggs was followed by Miss Nourse who discussed "Practical Problems." Miss Nourse will have charge of the classes studying Rational Living, Social Work for Small Communities, and Modern Conditions of American Women and the Adaptation to them.
An active interest in Bible study was shown. Many of the girls present enrolled for some one of the several courses.

"MANLINESS" DISCUSSED.
Dr. Coombs Spoke in Chapel Yesterday.
Dr. George H. Combs, pastor of the Independence Avenue Boulevard Christian Church of Kansas City, Mo. delivered a vigorous address on "Manliiness" in chapel yesterday morning. The characteristic of a person's life which he thus termed, Dr. Coombs considered the one thing worth while in all the world. He maintained that many people confused the adro for the goal of life. Acquisition of wealth is worhty but if made a goal is ignoble.
Dr. Coombs believes that heredity and environment are words that have been much overworked and that despite any adverse circumstances we may attain to manliness if we will. He closed with an emphatic statement of his belief that we have the mastery of our own fates.
GOLF CLUB CHOSE OFFICERS.
Plans for Coming Year Discussed at Meeting Yesterday.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar was elected president of the golf club at a meeting held yesterday afternoon in Fraser hall, Prof. C. C. Crawford secretary and treasurer, and Prof. M. W. Sterling, chairman of the executive committee. These men will be the officers for the ensuing year.
At a meeting it was decided to improve the condition of the grounds by having the course removed and rolled. For this purpose a large mower to be drawn by a horse will be bought by the club.
