State Oratorical Contest at Emporia February 20th. Rock chalk-Jay-Hawk K! U! !
Why don't the man who says life is not worth living go and shoot himself? We don't need him here. The Science club "It" was held in Snow Hall last Friday evening and proved a most enjoyable occasion.
The florid complexion of some of the return cards has caused some of the students to chew the rhubarb of reflection.
The clergyman's row in English History distinguished itself as much by new theories in examination as it has for conviviality during the term.
The Prince and Pauper given at the opera house last week by local talent was a great success. A number of University people took part.
This evening the ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta will entertain their gentlemen friends with what bids fair to be a very successful party at K. of P. hall.
The Courier acknowledges courtesy extended by the gentlemanly management of the Letter Carrier's Ball; if any one wishes a good time this evening they can obtain it by attending. Music by Buchs orchestra.
Jefferson and Florence begin a week's engagement at Kansas City next Monday. The plays given will be "The Rivals" and "The Heir-at-Law." A number of students will go down.
President Elliot, of Harvard, will be in Lawrence about March 1st. Arrangements will probably be made to have him address the students on some evening during his stay. This will be a rare treat to all.
Paul Hudson was down the first of the week.
Prof. Dyche takes charge of the Zoology class this year.
The Sophomore Logic class looks like it needed pruning.
Thornton Cook appeared this week with the Phi Delta colors annexed.
Irene Webb made a short visit home after examinations.
Prof.Snow's weather report gives the mean temperature of January 32.37 degrees. This is 7.20 warmer than the average January.
The new Latin-English course of the University does not have place in the curriculum until next year.
It is much easier to walk to an entertainment than to ride (in a hack) over such rough frozen roads as we have just now—and the boys are glad of it.
R. D. Brown, Springer, Merrill and Richards walked to Topeka and back last week. It is said that besides wishing to see the senatorial election they wished to urge upon the farmer legislature the need of a gymnasium for K.S.U. Walking trips seem to be gaining in popularity among the University students and deservedly so. There is no better exercise that a student can pursue. It is also hoped that we may have some cross-county runs before the warm weather sets in.
The man with the little hammer and steady lick is the one that got there during examination, as is usually the case, although we know of a man with a sledge who kept his end up in good shape.
Miss Gussie Price has taken the agency for the Ladies Home Journal, and from the number of subscribers she has obtained, we would think that Lawrence is to be supplied with curl paper for a decade.
Moody in the legislature is as much of a factor as Moody in the office. If we had many such friends as Moody in the legislature we would have the greatest educational institution west of the Mississippi river, and the people of the state would not be taxed too much either. We fear that the body of able men who have achieved so much in political revolution and renovation will, when it comes to appropriation, be rather close fisted. Mr. John Sullivan has a very able article in the Kansas City Globe, of last week, which we would advise every one to read, who desires to become acquainted with the University.
Father Ennis led chapel exercise this week.
Mr. Miller, of the engineering department, is back to school again.
Prof. Templin has a very large class in Psychology and Logic this term.
There is quite a number of "red cards" in the clerk's hands since examination we see.
There will probably be several applications for admittance to the oratorical association by smaller colleges this year.
Hon. J.C. Brown, of Holton, Kan., visited the Law recitations Monday morning, Feb. 2nd.
Through the efforts of John Stowell the Law school has been supplied with a bulletin board.
The "barbs" do not scheme! Ono!! But the greatest scheme of the season was concocted by a few of the "barbs" at the oratorical election nevertheless.
Many of the students do not know that the arrangement of the classes and the time of recitation in the catalogue '90-91, which was issued in Decemberdr does not go into effect until next school year. By this students can come in next fall with their course laid out for the year's work from the catalogue.
We are sorry that an extended notice of a party given by the Phi Gamma Delta was unintentionally crowded out last week.
No. 20
The Prince and Pauper was a grand success in many ways. It not only filled the pockets of the U and I club, but gave the admiring public a chance to see that some people are fearfully and wonderfully made. The heavy tragedy of our orator, Mr. Hadley, and the legitimate comedy of Mr. E. Brown are especially worthy of mention.
The uncalled for squib which appeared some time $ \alpha g \circ $ in the University items in the Record stating that the Y.M.C.A.was on the verge of disruption on account of internal dissention is wholly false. It has been evident for some time that the Record correspondent has been using his position to reward his friends and punch his enemies rather than give news.
There is a rule which requires students to be in their classes five minutes after the second bell rings. There is also a faculty rule (of which the most of them seem to be ignorant)which dismisses the classes promptly at the ringing of the second bell and a student may leave whether the professor is through or not at this time. If the professors would obey this rule on their part less trouble would be experienced with tardy students. The first of this term is certainly a good time to reform.
About twenty new students have entered school this term.
A son of Mr. Hallowell, of Wichita, has entered school.
Judge Humphrey will address the Political Seminary this evening on "Discrimination in Railroad Rates."
Miss L. A. Mints, superintendent of a G. A. R. memorial college at Oberlin, Kas., is in the city soliciting for the school.
Prof, Blake will address the Douglas County Farmers Institute at Vinland to-morrow, on the subject of "Practical Electricity."
Several changes have been made in the schedule of recitation during the week to avoid conflicts, and school now runs on in its even tenor as usual.
Mr. Mott, the national secretary of the college Y.M.C.A., talked to a large gathering Sabbath evening in the Presbyterian church. Mr. Helms, the state secretary, was also present.
A subscription is being raised to defray the expenses of a delegate from the Y. M. C. A. of the University to a national convention. About $40,90 has been raised.
Professor Templein made some personal remarks in the beginning class in Logic and Psychology which he may have thought very funny but which to the ordinary student seemed any thing but applicable.
Mr. C. F. Scott has been appointed a regent of the University, succeeding Mr. Simpson. Mr. Scott is a graduate of the University class of '81, and is a stump friend of the University. No better appointment could have been made.
R. D. Brown, McKinnon and Harold Barnes have made arrangements for a special train to Emporia for the state contest, and have arranged a round trip rate of $2.50, if enough students will go. This is a cheap rate, and at least two hundred and fifty students should have enough patriotism to take advantage of it. Let us give our orator a rousing support and our chances for winning will be greatly enhanced. Nothing inspires the average orator to do his best more than the knowledge that he has the enthusiastic backing of the college which he represents. Let all factional spirit be laid aside and let all unite in a hearty Rock Chalk Jay Hawk for K. S. U., and her orator, H. S. Hadley. Beside these considerations, it will pay everybody to attend the state contest and hear other styles of oratory and become acquainted with the students from the other colleges. Let each student take it upon himself to swell the crowd that will move on to Emporia, February 20th
Beta Theta Pl.
Last Friday evening the Beta boys ushered in the new term by giving one of their most enjoyable parties in their pleasant and home-like rooms in the opera house block. The evening was spent in the many ways of amusement which a jolly crowd of students can find and all felt that they had spent an extremely pleasant evening, and one to be long remembered.
The following were the guests, Misses Springer, Grubb, Moore, Morris, Barrett, Neusom, Van Hoesen, Simpson, Manley, May Haskell, Edith Haskell, Blaker, Henshaw, McKinnon, Lyons, Howland; Messrs, Allen, Adams, Shepherd, Malecolra, McKinnon, Brown, Fred McKinnon, Douglas, Withington, Babbitt, Lutz, Fullerton, Melvin, Merrill, Simpson, Peairs, Barnes, Oscar Poehler.
Oratorical Association.
The second annual meeting of the K. S. U. oratorical association was held in the chapel last Friday at 12 o'clock. The meeting was a harmonious one and the "Student's Alliance" fixed things to suit themselves. The following were the officers elected: President, R. D. O'Leary; vice president, W. M. Curry; treasurer, E. W. Palmer; secretary, Hall Riddle; executive, Fred McKinnon, H. C. Riggs and D. R. Krenbiel. Non-fraternity share adjusters, Messrs, Spencer, Brown and Griffin. Second delegate to the state oratorical association meeting to be held at Empcriia, W. W. Brown.
The officers are all good ones and will fill their respective offices with credit to themselves, the association and the University.
Miss Mayme Barrett took a short visit home the first of the week.
