At the instigation of the most pious member of the Phi Gams, at their meeting Sunday afternoon, the fraternity essayed to sing some sacred songs, after a brief consultation it was decided that all knew the Doxology. When they had sung three lines the whole Frat got off on "Way down yonder in the cornfield."
Among the most enjoyable events of the week was a "tube party" given "down on Kentucky street." The principal feature was a long tube kindly loaned by the pharmacy department, this was inserted in "a hole," and the guests imbibed the nectar of the absent host. It was a most unique and pleasing afiair.
Jim harding and Garrett went hunting Monday. A few features of the day's sport were: a mile sneak on hands and knees to get a shot at some decoys, Garrett getting lost, chiggers, and an attempt by electrician Harding to install an equipment of lightning rods for a farmer while Garrett made a coup d' etate on the "hennery."
The "anti thin" association will be incorporated soon. The idea is to have something to eat every two weeks. As genuine porter house steaks are as scarce as diamonds in Lawrence, there will be a committee appointed to procure them after having been duly satisfied by the butchers under affidavit and tested by some reputable jeweler or other person. "Sure'nough coffee" will also be a feature. This will be served regularly once every two weeks at some down-town restaurant. For membership see A. E. Moody or this office.
Meeting of the "Non-Ringsters."
The committee to obtain designs and select a suitable emblem and pin for the students of the University have held several meetings and partially decided on one of the numerous designs submitted. But will not give it final decision until next week in order that everybody may have a chance to express themselves on this important subject. New designs may be left with Mr. Moody at the office or given to any member of the committee, Prof. Cowan, Spellman, Mitchell, Owen, Winn, and
Armour. For the benefit of some who have been misinformed we would say, that we are not working in opposition to the committee elected by the ring element in University politics, but are simply working to get a pin satisfactory to all elements regardless of "Frats" or "Barbs" politics or no politics. And we can not but feel flattered by the response with which our call for designs has been met. Indeed we have not found it necessary to offer a five dollar prize for what any student should consider it both a pleasure and an honor to design. Next week we will give the design selected and a list of those submitted.
A New Society.
The A. P. A's. (Anti-Prune Ass'n) have secured a charter from the Alpha chapter and have been formally organized. The officers are Troxel, Prentice, Clark, and Chamberlain. The badge of the order is a galvanized iron prune attached to the lapel of the coat and the hail is a pat on the stomach with the left hand accompanied by a negative shake of the head. The object of the association is to discourage the use of prunes in Lawrence boarding houses and clubs. At a late hour last night they were debating on the advisability of adding dried apples and liver to the black list.
The Moody Quartette is All Right.
The Moody Male Quartette, the opening attraction of the University Lecture and Musical course, sang in Emporia Monday evening. For the benefit of those who may feel that this is the least important entertainment of the course, we quote the following from Tuesday's Emporia Republican:
"One of the best things in a musical way that Emporia has enjoyed for some time was the concert at the Whitley last night by the Moody quartette, of Chicago. There was a large audience and some idea of its appreciation of the performance may be had from the fact that the printed program was more than doubled by encores. The quartette is made up as follows: R. J. McDowell, first tenor; C. J. Davis, second tenor; R. S. Goldsbury, first base and impersonator; P. W. Goldsbury, second base. They have voices of remarkable
