SATURDAY, OCT. 9, 1909
The mass meeting in chapel yesterday was well attended and interesting. It should soon be productive of much good. All those who spoke of the student council expressed a desire to see a success made of it. The general feeling is that if all the schools of the University take up the council it will speedily become a force in school affairs. The council itself should at once remove any disabilities against any of the different schools in order that they may all get behind the council and make a success of it.
The "K" club that is soon to be organized here should be a considerable boost for athletics. The club will put an additional value on the emblem of athletic prowess and will be a great aid to the coaches and the trainers in keeping the men eligible and in training. We do not see why some one did not think of such an organization before.
All kinds of bear stories are being sent out from the campus of the foe calculated to make Kansas think that she has a clutch in winning the championship of the conference. We think that Kansas will again take the premier honors but the fight will be as hard, if not harder, than it was last year.
GRADUATE SCHOOL GAINING
The Increase Is 20 per cent over Last Year.
Professor F. W. Blackmar, dean of the graduate school reports an enrollment increase of at least twenty per cent over that of last year. This enrollment is not complete and is necessarily slow as it takes some time for graduate students to arrange their other work. There are several candidates for the degree of doctor of philosophy this year. Twenty five students received the master's degree last June and there should be at least thirty degrees this school year.
The Graduate Club has not been organized for this year but a meeting is called for 4:30 next Tuesday afternoon in room 110 Fraser Hall which all graduate students are urged to attend.

Kick Column
Mr. Editor: I want to register a kick against the custom of making out programs a week before a dance. There is a Pan-Hellenic rule against it but like all the other Pan-Hellenic rules it is not obeyed. I wish that you would make an appeal to the co-educational side of our University to be more considerate of the unfortunate.
LONESOME.
Dear Editor:-Why is it that the Athletic Association does not announce through your paper, when the games are to start on Saturday and when and where you can buy reserved seats.
A TICKET HOLDER.
Why is it the water for the showers at the gymnasium is so hot one day that one can scarcely stand under it, and perhaps the next two or three days is as cold as ice.
STUDENT.
The Kansan:—I wish to protest against the action of those students who at Friday morning chapel exercises drop down in the seats close to the aisle. Even when many are standing these thoughtless students will not sit over towards the center. Thus seats are left vacant as those who are standing do not wish to make a disturbance by crowding through to the center seats.
A SUFFERER.
Editor The Kansan:I should like to take advantage of your new column and register a good hearty kick against the lights in the upper floor of the library. The lights are poorly arranged but that defect probably can not be remedied at this time. However a great improvement in the light would be made if some half dozen burned out electric globes were replaced and if the good globes had some of the accumulated dust of years brushed off them. Many students are complaining that the light, or lack of it, hurts their eyes.
A HISTORY STUDENT.
Sophomores Gave Party.
The sophomore class gave the first class party of the year in Fratenal Aid Hall last night. The rainy evening may have kept many away but there were over a hundred couples in attendance. Sommers orchestra furnished the music.
Fred L. Lee a former student in the College, was in town today for the foot ball game. For the past year he has been the pastor of the Christian church at Wilsey Kansas, but at present is on his way to attend the International Convention of the Christian church which will meet soon in Pittsburg, Pa. Mr. Lee will enter school at the beginning of the next term.
Professor and Mrs. W. C.
Payne left today for Pittsburg,
Pa, to attend the Centenial
Convention of the Christian
church of America. They will
be gone ten days or two
weeks.
