SOMETHING ABOUT LEGE SPIRIT.
The mass meeting yesterday afternoon of seven hundred University men showed the college spirit that the men have. How many girls did you see at the rally and in the parade? About ten showed their enthusiasm by going to MeCook and watching the practice. And yet they say that college spirit is just as rampant among them as among the boys.
The girls of the University of Kansas have the mistaken idea that an expression of their enthusiasm is in elegant and a mark of their lack of refinement. The girls of the east recognize in exuberance over college affairs, a natural outlet of their feelings. These girls are not afraid to march in parades or attend mass meetings. They gather in groups and attend games and are as voiciferous as the boys.
The trouble in this University is that the enthusiasm of the girls over athletics appears to be confined, in a great number of cases, to a daily marathon to the ice cream parlor. It is recognized that a co-educational school represents a school spirit that is distinctive from that of those schools that are for either boys or girls alone. But surely the college spirit in a co-educational school does not mean that the boys shall do all the yelling and the girls all the talking.
If the girls wish to convince their University brothers that they are in earnest, they should display the same sort of enthusiasm as do their sisters in other institutions.
This does not necessarily mean that the girls have to attend the same meetings as the men. A football rally attended by the girls only would be a unique feature at this University.
Women's Day was successful in its uniqueness, as applied to University life. Never before in the history of the school has there been such unanimity of opinion and such a harmonious mingling of all the girls as was witnessed yesterday. Outsiders could not fail to be impressed with the sincerity of the eight hundred girls. The meeting reflected the enthusiasm of the University women and the women over the state who are interested in the erection of a dormitory on our campus. The two hundred visitors from over the state could not fail to catch something of the enthusiasm shown by the girls and with their co-operation it will be possible to fulfill the hopes of the committee that $75-.000 will be raised by June 1, 1912.
The annual night shirt parade will take place tonight. There is nothing in the program of school life that ought to appeal so strongly to the undergraduates as this manifestation of college spirit. The night shirt parade after the first football game every year is distinctive of this University and judging by the enthusiasm shown at the rally yesterday the attendance tonight will be the largest in the history of the school. Freshmen will have a busy time attending their first football game, wearing for the first time their distinctive head gear, and yelling themselves hoarse while following the impromptu band over all the streets of the city.
Kick.
Since there have been no complaints registered in the Kansas this year, I think it well at this time to register one; lest those who are strangers to the University will gain the wrong impression of the situation. I would like
To the University Kansan :
to know what has become of the gongs which we all delighted so much in hearing at the close of the hour of the last school year. This seems to be a matter of great importance, especially to the student when the professor's watch is not keeping correct time and the class is held too long.
Surely the short appropriation should not be the cause of this neglect, as it would require very little expense to keep the gongs ringing when they are once put in working order.
