Several of the Sophs sent their canes back for repairs after the cane rush. Prof. Max Winkler's Freshman English class enjoyed a quiz Wednesday. Foot ball Saturday afternoon in east part of the City Park. Everybody come. The Kansan Company is still endeavoring to sell some of the shares of the company. Record. Ask the Freshies who broke the key in trying to unlock the door and steal the Sophs canes. Everybody should go to Prof. Perry's concert and lecture at the Methodist church next Tuesday night. Die Deutsche Verein versammelte sich am letzen Sasmtag den sechst und Zwanzigsten bei Frau Carruth Intelleginse? The Sophs held an indignation meeting Monday at the end of the fourth hour over the length of the lessons which Prof. Max gives. It was decided that five or six pages was a sufficiently long lesson. Stand back Juniors and let the Sophs have it out with the faculty. } The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. have secured Bishop Foss, of Philadelphia, to preach a sermon before them Sunday evening, November 10th, in the University Hall. Bishop Foss is one of the finest preachers in the United States, and is noted especially for his sermons to students. Prof. Perry, of Boston, is one of the finest pianists in the country. He not only plays with consummate skill and beauty, but also by a few well-chosen words enables his hearers to understand the composers and appreciate their works. On Sunday, November 3d, at 4 p. m., a special evangelistic service will be held at the Y. M. C. A. A personal invitation is extended to students who are not in the habit of attending these meeting. Come next Sunday and bring your friends. Athæneum held a meeting last Monday. Let us have a Glee Club. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOV. 1, 1880 A Glee Club for the Oratorical contest. A Glee Club that Washburn will envy. The Freshman have not organized as yet. G. O. Virtue protests that he is not in the Soph. Rho. Kappa Tau faaternity. Clark is a member of the Sophomore fraternity, The Rho Kappa Tau. Chapman can speak not from personal experience but from the wisdom of others. Prof. Robinson evidently knows all about Rho Kappa Tau. A joke in Latin gave him away. The new girls fraternity is causing many whispered conversations among the fair sisters in K. S. U. The half term examinations are brawing near and the students are studying—how to stand in with the Prof. Get your lecture course tickets before the chart opens on Wednesday, in order that you may have first choice at seats. The K. S. U. B.B.C. will not play ball to-morrow with the noble red man from the forests. It rained, which is very lucky for our base ball enthusiasts. The Foot Ball Club is mighty and will soon be a power in University athletics. Every member is presented with an office. The ladies of the University church will give their annual New England dinner to-day and to-morrow in the room formerly occupied by the Delmonico. The Sigma Chis are well posted on the prices of the different livery stables for hacks. The Sigs gave a party last night and it rained. Oh my! A large number of specimens from Russel Co., arrived this week and are in the basement of Snow Hall. They will be placed in position in the museum as soon as the cases are ready. The Pharmics are wrot because a rumor gained credence that they were so ungentlemanly as to insult a lady who attended one of the meetings of the Pharmaceutical society. Robt. McIntyre, the prince of orators, Nov. 8. Rho Kappa Tau is a great favorite with the girls. Boys read what the Tribune thinks of such pranks. Several of the boys celebrated Halloween under umbrellas. The Pi Beta Phi fraternity have issued invitations for a party Nov. 15. Hickey says the report that he took part in the initiation is unfounded. Miss —— say she has not received single invitation to the K. S. U. ball. Some of the much rushed barbs are being given a rest, greatly to their delight. M. S. McMullen of Ottowa addressed the Y. M. C. A., last Sunday afternoon. The threats that the Journal held out to the unwary Halloween marauders were rendered futile by the rain. Mr. Postlewaithe, who was prominent in University circles a year or so ago, has been visiting the Phi Psi boys during the week. The Freshman finish Solid Gee metry next week. Prof. Templin's class will have written recitations every day next week in place of the regular examination. A snipe hunt beneath umbrellas is the latest. Hobo Reed will envy them, and Worden's ghost is appeased, while Weed in ecstasy rejoices that there are gulls in Kansas too. The students seem to have found lots of fun in the halls this week, as they are almost invariably late in getting to their classes. The story is told at last. We have wondered how the grave and reverend Senior wrote his grandiloquent themes and theses. But at last we know, he buys them from a firm in Chicago at the rate of a dozen for a dollar. Vide bulletin board. What is the name of the new girls fraternity. The Tri Delta or the Delta Tau Omega. We think its awfully mean in the girls not to tell us the name of the new frat., Dont you? The Tribune is rather harsh upon the boys who were engaged in the little matter of hazing, politely called mock initiation. The Tribune is right, the faculty should see that no more of these farces take place. Personal. King is sporting a Sigma Chi pin. Harrington is taking dancing lessons. Brown visited his Cicero class last Wednesday. Dosbaugh was on the sick list last Tuesday. John Dosbaugh will spend Saturday and Sunday in Topeka. McKnabb has left school and will enter his uncle's law office at Olathe. Mrs. Sheldon, of Topeka, an artis of some note, visited the University Tuesday. Clark was elected chief mogul of the Sophomore Rho Kappa Tau fraternity. Moore gave the boys at Haskell some points on catching behind the bat Saturday. Lee Gray, a Law graduate, was shaking hands with old friends on the hill Tuesday. Prof. McDonald and wife attended a Sunday School Convention at Willow Springs Sunday. No.8. Geo. Cook, of Kansas City, was visiting friends in K. S. U. last Sunday. McPherson is now much better and it is thought that he will sustain no serious injury from his fall on the steps. Worden should be back; he might hold a love feast with the great mogul if eggs were plenty and the Hobos left them alone. Prof. Dunlap is in favor of literary societies and expresses himself as very much surprised that the student in K. S. U. take so little interest in them. Mr. Flinn, a Junior Law, received a telegram yesterday from Vermont, announcing the serious illness of his father. Mr. Flinn left yesterday for Vermont and probably will not be back this year. W. W. Davis, a student in K.S. U. two years ago, is in a surveying party up in Alaska. K. S. U. students are becoming scattered throughout the world; and wherever they go the fame of K. S. U. ir carried also. For with the training which our university gives fits its students for almost any position. Beta Hop to-night. Nourse is a pledged Beta. Curry and Grubb spent Sunday in Topeka. Baker swears by Prof. Robinson. Fox and Deford now bunk together. Harley Smyser has gone home on a visit. A. W. Postlewaite left yesterday for Chanute. Emma Rothschild visited K. S. U. yesterday.

Miss Mattie Snow will spend the winter in Massachusetts. Ed Branson has left school and returned to his home in Ottawa. Miss Lizzie Howard is sick this week and was unable to attend her classes. The class in Freshman English is loath to part with Prof. Max Winkler. H. B. Martin, of '86, opened up a law office in Dennison, Texas, October the first. Ed. Branson has left school. He starts for Montana soon, where he will in the future reside. The young ladies are very severe on R. K. T. Their sympathy for the victim is boundless. Prof. Edward Hopkins came in last week and is now teaching regular classes in the University. Harry Riggs is still in town and is searching for the fellow who said he had gone to Texas. Mrs. Bowersock entertained the members of Sigma Chi aad their lady friends last evening with a sheet and pillow case party. Funston claims to have stopped swearing and Voorhis never smokes now except on Saturday. What powerful influence is this which is at work amongst us? Charley Johnson returned yesterday afternoon. It is not probable that he will be able to resume his studies until after Christmas. Rawson Bennett, an old student of K. S. U., has recently delivered several lectures in Milwaukee on the subject of "The Lunacy of Edward Bellamy," or "Looking Backward." Abe Levy is showing the best line of Gloves in the CITY
