Neil Brooks and Joe Shellabarger were elected secretary and treasurer, respectively, to fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of Kellogg and Snow. The executive committee was authorized to prepare the schedule of games for the coming season. Meeting adjourned.
The second annual Pan Hellinic of the fraternities of K. S. U. was held in Frazier's hall on last Friday evening. The frats participating were Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi,and the Delta Theta's. Early in the evening numerous dusky forms could be seen hugging the dark side of the street and flitting through the alleys. At about nine o'clock the hall was well filled and the festivities of the evening were begun by a grand march.o the music of the Riverside Mandolin Club. No appropriate idea of the costumes worn by the whilom females could be gained unless by an eye witness. They had drawn from every available source, from their best girl to the kitchen mechanic, and were verily fearfully and wonderfully made. There was Miss Shellabarger, a handsome blonde with a low decolette costume which admirably set off the shapey sinews of her neck and her elegant patent bust.; Miss Bowersock, who looked a cross between a Little Lord Fountelroy with long flaxen ringlets, and her washerwoman; Miss Georgie Cook, who by splicing three or four dresses had managed to conceal everything but a pair of number nines, and whose waist was so high up she had to furnish a step ladder to her partners to climb up; Miss Earl Swope, who introduced a startling innovation in the way of an Ethiopian ballot girl, who could smoke a
cigarette, chew a sandwich and render a can-can at the same time; Miss Deverell who reversed the usual order of ball-room apparel and had her dress cut low from the bottom; Miss Otis charmingly attired in a loose fitting cream colored wrapper, with a fringe of whiskers about a week old worn at the neck; Miss Hogeboom, a dimiutive blonde, who wore a handsome costume of white flannel and store hair, the whole set off by a most seductive smile; Miss Spencer whose classical beauty was greatly enhanced by a curious caudal appendage and some two inches of paint, and many other elegantly attired and beautiful damsels, a description of which only lack of space forbids.
Represhments were served by the Delmonico. The well-known Ben Butler was constituted toast-master, and delivered himself of a fine address entitled "Who's Boss of this Hall?" Mr. Craig, one of the features of the evening, endeavored to execute the dance known as "Walk-the crack," which appears to the uninitiated, however, to be but a complicated form of the reel. Mr. Craig was highly congratulated by all present. The dancing and merry-making was continued until a late hour. The entire affair was orderly and successful. It is to be hoped that K. S. U. will perpetuate this one of their distinctively collegiate features.
We are glad to announce that the literary societies have been good enough to give a half hour of their time to college singing, so that the Christian societies need no longer be interfered with. It is to be hoped now that the Christian societies will be equally generous and come to the singing. The meetings will be opened at 7:45 in Athenaeum hall, and will be held every Friday evening. This song association has so far been very favorably regarded by the students, and we hope their interest will continue to increase until they become sufficiently enthusiastic to start a college glee club. Why haven't we a little more spirit in this matter?
College Songs.
At last our Faiay night are again clear of any important engagements, and we can devote ourselves with renewed energy to college songs.
The oung men out of the University who, anticipating no rivalry, expected to make engagements with
Pan-Thugetarian.
University girls Friday evening were disappointed, for the young ladies went off and had a Pan Hellenic of their own. Seventy-five happy girls assembled in Mrs. Bowersock's house, which she generously opened for the occasion, and proceeded to enjoy themselves as is possible only in an assembly of the girls, all the girls, and nobody but the girls. They sang, they danced, they feasted, they invented a Pan Hellenic grip, they—but they won't tell what else they did. Whatever was their Pan Hellenic mystery, they enjoyed it so thoroughly that every boy in school envies them their delightful secret.
Long may the three societies maintain cordial relations.
