SENIOR SOCIETY IS ORGANIZED
Twelve P. S. B. Students Form Charter Membership.
Organization Will Be Purely Honorary and Will Include Most Active Students.
Twelve students of the University met at the Sigma Chi fraternity house Saturday night to complete plans for the formation of an honorary senior society at the University. The object of the new organization will be to bring together in one society, men of all schools of the University who have made good records in scholarship or as leaders in various student activities. At present there is no such organization in school and the promoters of the plan believe that a senior society will fill a legitimate field of activity in the life of the university.
The new society will be peculiar to the University of Kansas and will have no connection with any other organization elsewhere.
other organizations. Chancellor Strong expressed his approval of the organization of a senior society when visited by a committee last week. "Such societies have been prominent in the Universities of the East," he said, "and if carefully conducted one should be useful in the University of Kansas." The Chancellor cautioned the members of the committee that scholarship should be an important qualification for membership in the society, though not necessarily the leading one. "Furthermore," he said, "if University politics is allowed to creep into the organization, its days will be short and full of trouble."
As soon as the plans of the so society have been completed, a number of seniors will be elected to membership. All the charter members were chosen from the "P. S. B.," as it was thought that men who had been in the University more than four years were as well qualified as any to inaugurate a senior society. Late in the spring a number of juniors will be elected and these will comprise the membership of the society for next year.
next year.
The charter members of the society are: B. N. Forbes, Burton Sears, Frank J. Lynch, Fred T. Haddock, Ralph H. Spotts, Watson Campbell, H. E. Harlan, William Caldwell, Fred M. Thompson, H. A. Kohnman, J. E. Miller Joseph Murray.

The Columbia University Quarterly for September contains the address by William Allen White, delivered last spring before the Phi Beta Kappa society of Columbia. The subject of the address is "A Theory of Spiritual Progress," and its central ideas are the same as some of those worked out through the medium of fiction in his famous book, "A Certain Rich Man." Mr. White is a former student and a regent of the University of Kansas, but holds no degree from that institution. Columbia, at its last commencement, conferred upon him the degree of master of arts, President Butler introducing him to the commencement audience as one "Speaking in no uncertain voice the thoughts and aspirations of large numbers of Americans whose hearts are set at once on progress and on justice."

The Man for Cheer Leader.
One of the necessary assistants at student athletic contests in these days is the cheer leader. At the University of Kansas a tryout has just been held to select those who will assist in the making of the right amount and kind of noise at the football games this fall. When asked what are the qualifications for a cheer leader, a student who knew from experience said, "If you have any sense of embarrassment when a crowd of a thousand laugh in your face, then you would never do for a cheer leader. If you would rather go anywhere else than to a yell practice then you would never do for a cheer leader. And then, of course, you must be popular so that the fellows will yell with you, you must have a voice like Umpire Rigler of the National League, and a smiling countenance like a Cheshire cat. O, this cheerleader stunt is great!"
