PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING. VOL. VII. Local. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 10, 1889. "Hobo!" Home again ___ those eggs!! Did anybody mention a class tree? Everybody leaves for home tonight- The lists of Sophomores and Freshmen are posted. The Phi Delts gave a hop last night. The burning question of the hour is not "who stole the book," but "who swallowed the egg?" The Trigonometry classes were quizzed Friday. We hear:---- That Worden has the laugh on the crowd. That others are now on the list. That the Phi Psis have initiated a new man. That Reed takes his eggs straight. That Roberts beat a hasty retreat. That an ice house is a bad place for initiations. There is a base report that the Times may sink into "innocuous desuetude" before it gets ready for Vol. II. The Courier however,goes on forever. Subscribe for the Courier. The Entre Nous dance was attended by a number of students. The class in Psychology was quizzed Monday. An interesting foot race took place last Saturday night on the railroad track. Reed, Watson, Snow and Short were the contestants. Material assistance in flight was lent from the rear by interested spectators. Zoology laboratory practice was commenced last Friday.

Hadley and Robinson succeeded in bagging twenty birds Saturday. The Regents at their last meeting, before dividing the chair of Natural History, made Prof. Snow director of the Museum. Thus he will be virtually at the head of the department, no matter how often the chair is divided. Tennis has been revived in good earnest, and both courts in the city were occupied Saturday. The boys are preparing for some exciting match games. The vicinity about the new ice house seemed to be alive with human forms last Saturday night, about the magic hour of midnight. No one appeared to know what dark deed was about to be perpetrated, but all had an air of intense expectancy. Ever and anon Major Roberts would issue forth from some secluded spot, with stately tread, and would clear the switch for the on coming freight, or point out some safe retreat for the timid youth. Dusky forms would speed down the track, followed always by several dozen products of the barnyard foul, and a large amount of improper English. At one o'clock there came a yell, the door of Prof Snow's hen coop swung open and al was silent. The foot-race between Wixon and Firestone is billed for this afternoon. The interest up on the race is intense and equals that taken in the recent pugilistic encounter between Wixon and Bassett. Prof. Dyche and Mr. Eames are now busy mounting the Rocky Mountain sheep and the deer. The joint meeting of Kent and Oriphilian will be held on April 12. The program is quite elaborate.

Jackson to the father of the present proprietor of the store, who would not part with it when Prof. Canfield sought to secure it. It will be found interesting by lovers of old "Hickory." Syncoya was an old colored body servant who followed Gen. Jackson all through the war of 1812, and whom the General sent on all kinds of errands. DEAR SIR:—Mrs. Jackson is very ill and the Doctor Recommends her to Diet on reice—be pleased to have some got for me and send it by Syncoyca. If there is none in the grocery stores some may be got perhaps from private families—pleas send me half Dozzen papers smoking tobacco. If there is rice to be had in pleas send me fifty pounds—pleas send me also one pound of good chewing tobacco and oblige your friend ANDREWJACKSON, Mr. Josiah Nichol. Dech. 1. 1825. P. S. send me half Dozzen one assorted. Civilization is said to be penetrating the Law department. We understand that Prof. Green has decided that the Laws will have to stop putting their feet on the backs of the chairs. It is also said that a single plug of tobacco will not be passed down the class as before, but each will have to bring his own. And it is rumored that those who expectorate, are expected to expect behind the radiator, and not on the floor. We are now waiting for returns from the Pharmacy quarters. Did you get a sample bottle of Palmer's "Marie Roze" at Raymond & Dick's?' Only a few left. Buv your NEW HAT of ABE LEVY
