KANSAS WOULD GO AHEAD.
KANSAS WOULD GO AHEAD If the people of Kansas, after mature deliberation upon all the facts of the situation, could pass upon the question of the School of Medicine of the University there is not the slightest doubt that they would vote to build up the School to the highest state of efficiency as rapidly as the resources of the state would allow. They would not decide upon a course of action that would involve the abandonment of a plant worth thousands of dollars and result in the withdrawal of the state from the promotion of medical science. Some day there must be a School of Medicine which will serve efficiently the great territory of this part of the Missouri Valley. The University has made a substantial and considerable beginning toward providing such a school. In such a work of service to humanity the state has gone far enough already to have rendered great benefit. It can not afford to give up now and retire from the field.
Checkers is one of the games said to be growing in popularity among the students of the University.
The Student Council might pass resolutions to the effect that no peanuts or paper should be thrown from the gallery of the new Bowersock opera house.
That sentiment in the student body which is willing to see athletic victories gained even at the cost of playing ineligible men will be found to be confined within very narrow limits.
The piano recital given by Harold Henry, a graduate of the University, Saturday evening, was an important event to the music lovers of Lawrence and to the University. It illustrated on of the best things to which the energies of the University are devoted—the fostering of the fine arts. Mr. Henry's genius was not supplied by the University, but his training was. It is no small honor and credit to the University that one of the few great American pianists is numbered among its alumni.
A Needed Restraint.
The formation of the new anticussing club which is being organized at K. U. is timely in the face of the probability that the appropriations asked for will be badly cut.-Leavenworth Times.
WHY IS IT:—
That the musicians always play a few extra encores when you have the dance with a dausel who just loves to, but cannot dance?
That your Prof. never calls upon you for the part of the lesson you have prepared?
That a certain number of students always manage to sit on the front row when the company carries a chorus of the gentler sex?
That you stand around the halls and do nothing when you should be in chapel?
That you sneak from the Jayhawker camera man when you're with "her," while you are dying to have the picture in the annual?

They were a tuneful nest of bards that gathered in the spring, to sing the tragic little songs that none but they could sing; for life is deep and dark and dread, and full of wail and woe, and this the news they had to tell to folks who didn't know. They sang of Life and Love and Fate and other awful things, of Death and Immortality, of Sorrow's Saddened Stings; but, oh, the saddest thing of all, lugubrious to see,—the fact they took their tuneful selves so very trajicklee!
ALL EYES ON ANDOVER.
Eastern Academy Will Try a Move Toward General Athletics.
The recently announced innovation in the policy of Phillips Andover Academy toward school sports is worthy of more than passing notice, says the Yale Alumni News. Andover will try next fall the experiment of laying stress on interclass football, and of treating the school team as an aggregation of the best players, not as the only aggregation of players. The results of this experiment will be awaited with much curiosity by rational followers of American school and college sport. While the conditions are not identical, because of age and physique, there is much similarity between the athletic situation in a college or university and that of a large school—particularly, of course, the large private school. The ideal arrangement would be to have the strongest possible intercollegiate teams and at the same time have the strongest possible general athletics. The balance, however, has been hard to keep, and so at many American colleges we see football for instance, practically restricted to one group of men—the varsity squads—out of which the varsity teams are chosen, with the under-graduates at large letting the sport severely alone. Baseball is somewhat better balanced, and Yale Field, for instance, sees every year plenty of scrub baseball played for the fun of it. Andover proposes, in football, to call out the 250 or more men who like the game, divide them into class groups and then into smaller groups according to age and strength, and match these teams against each other in a kind of school tournament, selecting the best eleven men for the school team from all of these squads only a short time before the Exeter game. This team will then play the Yale and Harvard Freshmen, probably, for practice and then go up to the annual championship. This plan should bring out every able-bodied boy in the school and create a very general football interest, which, because it is diffused over all the boys instead of centered on the school athletic leaders, should be far less nervous and exciting and injurious than it now is. The move is in the right direction toward general athletics—and is one of the most promising developments in American school life that we have noted in a long while.
"WE HAVE NO POETS."
Hence the Lebo Seniors Send to University for Yells.
Ralph Spotts, University cheer leader, has received a letter from the cheer leader of the senior class of the Lebo high school, one of the girls of the class, asking for suggestions for yells and class songs for the Lebo seniors. "I am writing to you because we have no poets in our school," says the letter.
It is possible that Mr. Spotts will enlist the services of the newly organized K. U. Poet's club in behalf of the songless and yellless Lebo students.
Miss Edith Dabb, the national secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association among the North American Indians, spoke before the girls of the University Monday afternoon at Westminster hall. Her talk was of her work among the Indian women.
