Enter the new politics at the University of Kansas.
In the senior class this year it is recognized that the election of class officers is not a question men alone, but of what they stand for; particularly, what disposition they will make of the fund which come into their hands as; result of the class activities. It is to be hoped that the University will never see a return of the day when election to the office of manager of one of the senior activities was a license to "graft" the University public for all it would stand. Classes will this year hold their officers to a strict accounting for their stewardship.
Coach Hollenbach of Missouri is entering his season in the Missouri Valley apparently with full knowledge of what he is "up against." With forty men on the gridiron for practice, he has called for more. And he's probably need more.
The University authorities made a real step toward the promotion of scholarship in the University when they decided to keep the library open six days a week this year. An additional afternoon and evening each week in which to do library work will mean much to students who have enrolled in courses where the reference works are too few in proportion to the number of students, and that includes about every library course in the curriculum.
Football may yet come to be known as the great American intellectual pastime. More rule books and fewer scrimmages have been seen on the practice grounds this fall then ever before. Players are growing squint-eyed from much study of the rules. The fevered brows of coaches are nightly bound with damp towels while they speculate on plays that will gain ground under new conditions.
Judge Madison's Speech.
From the Topeka Capital.
In the opening address of the University year at Lawrence Congressman Madison enforced his good counsels to the young men and women to whom the state is giving an education with sound conclusions of personal experience. It is "to make your leaders," Judge Madison said, that the state erects and equips at great cost a State University. "Learn to develop the higher
type of man while you are here. Too many college graduates are now beating gongs in front of restaurants, or carrying hods." He might have added, too many are not masters of their own lives, drifters without definite purposes. Too many are followers but the aim of the University is to make the fortunate men and women who obtain the benefit of its instruction, leaders of the state. And that it has done and is doing. Congressman Madison fitted into the occasion in delivering the opening address of the college year. His service on the bench and then in congress has been such for a period of years that he could always look his constituents in the face. He is not a business man nor a man of wealth, for his vocation has not run in that groove but the best worth while that a man may acquire in the world is character. Judge Madison is an illustration of the sort of leadership that he preached to the students at the University.

IN "WHO'S WHO."
"Who's Who in America," the biographical dictionary of notable men and women of the United States for 1910-11, has recently been issued and a copy received at Spooner library. Among the 17,546 persons listed in it with a brief biographical sketch, Kansas comes in for a liberal share.
Because of the University men whom the editor selected for mention in the volume, Lawrence is second only to Topeka in the number of citizens listed. The men directly connected with the University of Kansas who are listed are: E. H. S. Bailey, F. W. Blackmar, J. E. Boodin, W. H. Carruth, L. L. Dyche, R. K. Duncan, J. W. Green, E. Haworth, F. H. Hodder, E. M. Hopkins, S. J. Hunter, F. O. Marvin, E. Miller, C. A. Preyer, L. E. Sayre, W. C. Stevens, Frank Strong, J. E. Todd, S. L. Whitcomb and A. M. Wilcox. Prof. C. M. Harger of Abilene, members of the Board of Regents and members of the alumni also come in for recognition in the volume.

Lawrence, Kan., 9-23-10
University Kansas;
There is still considerable mail matter coming to the postoffice for students, addressed care K. U. or care University. Such letters, of course, are delayed at least one delivery in looking up the proper street address, and in some cases have to be thrown in the general delivery and are delayed considerable time. Will you kindly publish this letter, again calling the attention of students to the desirability of advising their correspondents to address envelopes to their street and number. Respectfully, IRVING HILL,
Postmaster.
Mrs. Helen Blair Smith of Atlanta, Ga., formerly a student at the University, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Blair, 1344 Massachusetts street.
Miss Grace Wolcott of Lawrence, a graduate of the University, has been engaged to teach in the Hutchinson high school.
age are very individual in their dress. They frown with disdain upon anything that smack of commonness. It is much easier for us to give them what they want rather than seek to stuff something down their throats that they are doubtful about.
Young Men of the College-going
We have been told by young Men
who have been to look at our Fall lines that we "have hit the nail squarely on the head" with the New York suit designs now shown in our display and for which we have the exclusive agency in Lawrence. The best evidence that these styles are "right" is the fact that the models are being copied by the smartest custom-tailors in the land. Whether the "copies" will be as good as the original we can't say, but it's a big satisfaction to know that we have the originals and none of the copies.
There's a dandy selection at each price, $15 up to $35
