SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1.
All football coaches have their troubles, and Coach Hollenbach of Missouri seems to be no exception. Two men turned in their suits because he criticised the playing of one of them. Readiness to quit the game on such trivial occasion indicates that the spirit on the Missouri team is not precisely what it should be.
Another argument against the substitution of Rugby football for the American game is that it would oblige all players and rooters to learn a new language. Here is an excerpt from an account of a California game: "From a serum on the one-yard line, the ball was pushed over for a try, which Jones handily converted."
The students of the University were fortunate in hearing a chapel speech of the kind delivered by General Caldwell yesterday. The speech was, both in matter and the manner of its delivery, of a kind which students seldom have an opportunity to hear. It was oratory of the old-fashioned kind, and the best of that kind. The present day has nothing that takes its place completely. Here is one instance in which we have some cause to regret the passing of "the good old days."
It is a matter of surprise that the students of the University have not availed themselves more promptly of the privileges offered by the University Hospital Association. Membership in the Association is a cheap and safe insurance against financial loss in case of illness, which in many instances might mean otherwise a permanent withdrawal from school. The students can give no better evidence of their ability to tell a good thing when they see it than by swelling the membership of the Association within the next week to the required seven hundred.
Of all the tickets nominated for class officers this year, it is interesting to note that not one is a "regular" ticket. They are all "insurgents" or "progressives." And the tickets of the lower classes are "Barb" tickets. One would think from the naming of the tickets and the talk that is going round that the poor fraternity men had no show to get into politics this year. But—some of the "Barb" tickets were made up in fraternity houses, and the fraternities seem to be as busy as usual in the campaign. The question naturally comes up, is there an "insurgent" movement among the students this year? Or are the old cliques and combinations merely masquerading under a new name, and will they be found to be in control of the situation after the election is over? In the past, the dominant political factions in the University have shown themselves adepts at changing to meet new conditions in the student body. Will they fail this year?
ON SORORITY RUSHING.
Society Editor Speaks Her Mind on the Situation.
The society editor of the Topeka Capital has the following to say on "rushing" at the University of Kansas:
A Topeka girl who has always enjoyed immense popularity here has gone to Lawrence this year to attend the University of Kansas. The general understanding is that at Kansas University all popular girls are supposed to be identified with one or another of the sororities which have chapters there. And to be a non-sorority girl is a curse of the worst kind. The report is that neither the Flippy Zippi Xsis nor the Goody Puddin' Pies, the two sororities which, according to the rules of the game, should have rushed the Topeka girl, invited her to fraternize with them, and the Topeka girls who have heard about the affair are much surprised. "We are all off with the Flippy Zips and the Goody Puddins"—that is the way they c:press it.
It never would pay to try to account for the ways and tastes of the Flippy Zips and the Goody Puddins. 'The Flippy Zips do not even try to understand themselves and the conclusive argument, sustained but never spoken, on the part of the Goody Puddins, is, "Goody Puddins are Goody Puddins." And if you do not understand that,-well then, you would never do for a Goody Puddin'. The Goody Puddins are all real nice girls,-just real, very nice girls. Whenever one of them hears some real naughty,

ugly story about some girl on the Hill, she arrches her caustic eyebrow (get the pose?) and says, "If I'm—that sounds like a Flippy Zip."
Some friends of the Topeka girl say that she announced, before she went to school, that she would not join any sorority; that she was given a bid by the Flippy Zips, but that she turned it down. One of the K. U. fraternity men says that there is a misunderstanding, caused by the fact that the girl has some enemies in school who did "dirty work," in fact, who made it their very beautiful and philanthropic purpose to keep the girl out of the K. U. sororities and to prevent her from enjoying her year there.
But anyway, the Topeka girl is clever enough, and pretty enough, and self-reliant enough, and attractive enough to have a good time in spite of the Flippy Zips and the Gooey Puddins. Before the year is over they will attend many a fraternity dance (some of them as wall flowers) where they will watch the Topeka girl dance herself into blindness. And says one of the Topeka girl's friends "Who wants to be a Gooey Puddin anyway? One can tell one of those Gooey Puddins, active or alumni, a mile away. No need for sorority pins for the Gooey
Puddins, one could never mistake the brand. Why, they even walk alike." So there is this consolation for the Topeka girl (if she needs it): Four years from now a stranger, watching her walk down the street, will not be able to point her out and say, "There—there goes a Goody Puddin."

--that this Store is not "tied" to any one maker or any set of makers. We always have and always will maintain our independence in the clothing markets. The best proof of this is seen in our immense Fall display, comprising the new Suit and Overcoat lines from the four best Clothes-Making Firms in the United States. If you don't find what you want in one line you have the other three to pick from. We contend that no one manufacturer produces a sufficient variety of styles to satisfy a big variety of tastes. But whether this is true or not it cannot be denied that there's more latitude for satisfying one's taste when he has four lines to pick-from than when he has one.
To Whom it May Concern:
The experience of two Lawrence men who recently went to Kansas City on a business trip and incidentally called at two of the leading clothing stores there to look at Fall Suits, prompts us to say a few words on the subject. The two men in question found that they could not do even as well in Kansas City as they could here at our Store and they were frank enough to tell us about it. They informed us that each store featured a certain "pet" brand of clothing and while they had a complete line of this "pet" brand they had nothing else. It was one of those cases of "special contract" to handle one make of clothing, the result being that if a prospective customer didn't like that one make he'd have to go elsewhere.
Right here we want to bring out the point
