K. K. G. party to-night.
All exchanges are filled with foot-ball news. The college world is crazy over the game, What's the matter with 'We'uns?'
The young ladies have far surpassed the boys this year in a social way. Is it to be inferred from this that the young gentlemen are the more industrious?
We have heard several fraternity girls declare that the present pledge in regard to rushing new girls will never be renewed. What a temptation to say "We told you so."
The local editor of the COURIER admires the consummate nerve of the High School Mercury. Its idea of professional reciprocity is delightfully consistent with the verdancy of its editors.
In sanitation, as well as in all other matters which require the aid of science for the formulation of their laws, the University is very properly assigned an important part, as is evinced by the prominent places which so many of our professors occupied on the program of the State Sanitary Association, which has been in session here during the week.
THE WEST SIDERS
What is the matter with the West Side boys? There is nothing insectivovous about them. With laudable energy they have organized themselves into a real live, and kicking foot ball club. This was exactly what K. S. U. needed most and their opportune action cannot be praised to warmly. There is nothing that our students need more than physical training and the Courier is pleased to see a movement that is sure to bring life, health and activity to K. S. U. K. S. U. should maintain a splendid eleven and there is no just cause why she does not. The new club contains members of strength and grit and the future looks promising. We urge the boys to keep the ball a rolling for they say a rolling stone gathers little moss. It is undoubtedly true.
The members of the new club are: Curry, Hoover, Dolly, Challis, Davis, Boher, Fosclick, Moore, Allen, Hill, Miller, Babbit Gibson, Whitman, Swank, Gardner, Whitman, J. C. Smidt, and Taylor.
But West Siders aren't you just a little narrow and selfish in your name and purpose. Why not make it a University club, freely open to all who might desire to join it? Why be one sided? Wouldn't you show a more generous spirit if you would tare down these barriers of locality? Remember the more men you have the better eleven you can select. And isirt your pride for the University greater than that for the West Side.
Current, But Not Common.
At the meeting of the Unity Club last Monday evening, the time was happily spent in a discussion of the current events. Mrs Griffin reviewed Thayer's "Kansas Crusade" in an interesting manner. Her pointed remarks brought out considerable comment. The days that are sacred to the Cause of Negro freedom were brought vividly to mind.
Prof. W. S. Franklin spoke of the recent discoveries in Physical science. Much of interest was gleaned from his careful remarks. The next meeting promises to be an interesting one. Besides the discussion of current and political events, the cause of the emigration from New England's farms will be thoroughly presented.
The public is cordially invited to attend and the Courier can assure them a pleasant evening.
Sanitary Convention.
Phi Gamma Delta will celebrate her ninth anniversary December 18th.
The State Sanitary Convention, which began its sessions last Wednesday evening, has been a gathering of great interest to the people of the State, and particularly of Lawrence. The University has been the source of much of its pleasant and profitable material. Many of aur professors have generously given to the convention the benefit of their extensive knowledge upon the questions under discussion.
The Thursday meetings were held at the University. They were largely attended by the students aud faculty.
K. S. U. has been ably represented in the discussions as follows: Prof Marvin, a paper on "Sewerage and Drainage of Lawrence;" Profs. Bonley and Blake,
The Thursday meetings were held at the University. They were largely attended by the students and Faculty. K.S.U. has been ably represented in the discussions as follows: Prof. Marvin a paper on, "Sewerage and Drainage of Lawrence," Profs. Barley and Blake, a joint paper on "The well water of Lawrence," Prof. Winkler, "Athletic life of Universities," Prof. Snow, "Polluted Water," and Prof. Canfield, "Perentory Phase of Municipal administration."
The convention continues through to-day and the public is cordially invited to attend. The effect of this meeting upon the sanitary conditions of the state is certain to be wide-spread and beneficial. Such work tends towards the elevation of the human race. We are glad to note the hearty reception given the convention by the citizens and students of Lawrence.
The Inter-Collegian, a journal devoted to college Y. M. C. A work, has been placed on file in the library by the Y. M. C. A. boys.
Our Christian Workers.
Rev. Kellar will address the Y. M.C.A.next Sunday afternoon.
Rev. Kenilai address the Y. M.C. A. next Sunday afternoon. R.E. Speer, who delivered such an inspiring address to the Y. M. C.A. boys some time ago on "Foreign Missions," is meeting with flattering success in the West At St. Paul not less than twenty-six students volunteered to take up the cause in foreign lands.
One of the Baldwin boys will address the meeting on the hill this evening. Let all the boys come. It is hoped they will come. The association is doing a good and noble work for K. S. U. and it should meet with hearty and loyal support from all who love sound and sturdy manhood.
Challiss spent a large portion of the past week in making extensive improvements on that "mighty mean" gun of his.
TURN OUT.
And for Once in Your Life Partake of the Literary Feasts on the Hill to-night.
After a short, but delicious vacation, wherein the society man found ample opportunity to exercise his delicate capacity, each literary company on the hill is again prepared to startle and enchant the public with its own peculiar and original "circus." And, gentle reader, you can bet a Kansas farm that each one will do so. You needn't mind putting up your farm unless you want to make some one "shut up." This is simply optional.
The official programs are for the first time made public as follows. The Courier need not remark how joyfully they will be received, and how pleasantly rendered. It would undoubtedly be guilty of exploding a "chestnut" if it did so.
The Adelphic will add another interesting meeting to its useful life. The question, Resolved, "That lobbying is a political evil," will be discussed by Hicley and Krechbeil on the affirmative, and Hall and Harvey on the negative
Surmising that the Adelphic might have something extra on its program the Courier man hunted up President Virtue and propounded the question. "Anything extra?" replied the genial and talented president, "No, Sir, we have nothing extra. Nothing but our regular program. We don't believe in extras. Each and all the members do the work and furnish the attraction. We believe in letting the members do the extras."
"So, you don't favor these side show attachments that the societies have been giving the public?" sounded the Courier. "No, sir I do not. If a literary society cannot live without giving some extra entertainment every meeting, it ought to die I believe in letting the members give the entertainment. Then will they be benefited." The Courier man heartily agreed and President Virtue will pardon him for publishing his splendid, good sense. We believe Mr. Virtue has hit the ten-penny squarely on the head and showed moss conclusively the folly and weakness of his struggling opponents.
Orophilian presents a splendid program; yes, a splendid one: but it is only a program. It looks nice, you know. What of its rendition? Waite. Mrs. Prof. McDonald has been engaged to talk to the society, on Wellesley.
Bear and Whitman and Baker and Curry will debate the question, Resolved, That the pension policy of the Harrison administration is injurious to the Republican party.
"Panama Canal," and Prof. Snow will handle the "Reviews."
Oh, Athaeneum, we weep for thee!
Where art thou? We pause for a reply;
in no hurry, however.
At the Science Club Prof. Marvin will give his second paper on "Book Illustrations." P. A. Williamson will read a paper on the
The Historical Seminary will bow to the public as followr; Paper money, by Armstrong; Municipal contracts of Gas supplies, Mushrush; Forestry, Morse; Admission of Texas, Brewster; and Aberations of the Democratic party, Virtue.
The Kent Club will resolve itself into the House of Representatives, and proceed to nominate and elect a speaker.
The caucuses of the different parties have already been held and the different leaders selected. A hot contest is expected.
The Pharmaceutical society will give its usual spicy and sparkling program.
The unreliable rumor of the death of J. O. Wordon, a last year's student, is no longer such. It is a lamentable fact that brings sorrow and sympathy from many a friend who knew him but to love him.
His early death was caused by a fall from an unrailed porch on which he had stepped late at night. He sustained a severe fracture of the skull producing almost instant death.
A Sad Death.
Worden had been teaching school at Bonner Springs with the hope of returning to K. S. U. next year and up to the time of the terrible accident that sent him suddenly to death he was in perfectly good health. Worden's future was an exceptionally bright one and the Courier with his host of friends his regrets untimely and fearful end.
An old student and frat. man of K. S. U. has promised the COURIER a paper on inter-fraternity matters. We hope to publish it next week. It will merit the earnest attention of every barb, and frat.
