RAH, RAH SPIRIT IS ALL RIGHT
WM. J. BRYAN BELIEVES IT
MAKES MEN.
rninks The Democratic Contest is Between Wilson and Underwood.
William Jennings Bryan, who spoke last evening in this city, was asked yesterday for his opinion on the rah, rah spirit that is found in every university and was so severely condemned by President Taft last week.
"If the rah, rah boys continue their rah,rah anties during their more mature years, they will never be married. But on the other hand if they all put as much life and vigor into their work after they get out of college as they put in the rah, rah part of it they will make beter and more efficient business men than the present generation." This was the Peerless One's ultimatum.
Mr. Bryan was greeted with a large audience last evening. A large number of them were University students and his address was addressed chiefly to them Dean J. W. Green of the School of Law presided at the meeting.
"I congratulate you upon having such a live Democratic club at the University of Kansas," W, J. Bryan, the foremost Democrat in the United States told Alston McCarty, the president of the University . Woodrow Wilson Club at the Eldridge House last night.
The Nebraskan was interested in hearing of the plans of the Wilson club. When McCarty asked him of his stand on the candidates for the Democratic nomination for president Mr. Bryan said:
"I am against Harmon. I believe that Governor Wilson and Chairman Underwood are men to be considered for the position."
A VARIED MAGAZINE
Oread Will Also Attempt to
Attract Faculty.
The Oread magazine, which was started at the University last year, will make its first appearance Nov. 10. The magazine will contain works of popular fiction, verse, editorials, and several feature departments all written and edited by students of the University.
Ellis Davidson, editor of the magazine, says that an effort is being made to make the magazine larger and better than last year. "We are trying to get longer stories this year," said Mr. Davidson. "The one fault of the publication last year was the fact that the fiction stories were too short. This year we hope to remedy that. And in addition there will be several new things introduced in the way of feature departments. One especially that will interest the faculty."
The price of the magazine will be the same this year as last. 5 cents for the year or 15 cents per copy.
