paper. If an editor sees an editorial
in which ho thlrfka 'there Is something
of merit it is all right to copy it and
place it in the hands Of his readers,
but don't be sneak thief enough to do
so without recognizing tho paper in

'KANSAS STUDENT EDITORS.
We notice by tho College "Llfo that
the representatives of the several
school papors of Kansas mot in Em
sporla and discussed tho important
questions relative to tho work of tho
different mombors of tho staff. The
most Important department received
the most attention, namely: The Ex
change Department. Wo aro glad to
notice Unit tho sdhool publications are
taking such a dooldod stand against
ip'lagarism in school papers, Among
'tho things spoken of editorially on this
'Hiibjoct, In tho College Llfo, wo take
'ho following: "It was found that
dvory editor had a grievous complaint
to itiako against tho foreign oxohauges
on account of material that was copied
"from his papor without any recognition
Whatovor. This is a fault of somo edi
tors who aro not smart enough to
work 1 1) mataritil of thoir own. Thoro
is 'nothing wore oxnsporatln'g 'to an
editor than to find an editorial or a
COLLEGE SLANG.
Class rivalry is still intonso, though
tho old manifestations of it in hazing
is dying out somewhat. Still tho an
nual cano rush or spreo is general,
and many customs, more or less local,
keep up the spirit. An amusing ex
ample is shown by tho use of tho word
fruit at Yale. Tho fruit of a fresh
man is the tag of tho shirtwhoro tho
laundry mark is usually placed; the"
sophomoresrendoavor to romove tiioj&e

vocabulary. From tho institutions for

which wore not In vogue elsewhere.
These are all "words pertaining '-to eat
ing, with one exception, swain, from a
girls' boarding-school, meanihg a -male
acquaintance. But tho institutions for
both sexes give many words,. most of
them, of course, referring to the tend
ency of young people to fall in love
and .get married, which manifests it
self wherever they may bo, perhaps
no more in college than olsowhero.

nell, Sage College is the name of the
