The spring contest held last Friday evening was very poorly attended owing a great deal to the fact of it being held in the Music hall instead of the Chapel. "The Character of Demosthenes" by A. McMurray won first place. "The Anglo American" by Mayo Thomas, second place, and "Observations of Spencer" by Eli Cann third place. The first and second prizes were $15. and $10.
Judge Thacher led Chapel exercises Monday morning after which the Chancellor made some remarks to the students in regard to a false statement published in a Topeka paper concerning the moral character of K. U. students. Chancellor showed plainly that the morality of students had been on steady increase. Judge Thacher also spoke showing that the article in the Topeka paper was a base fabrication from beginning to end. ___
UNIVERSITY DEBATING SOCIETY.
The topic to be discussed on May 4, is, Resolved, That the abolition of the spoils system would weaken political parties. Affirmative, A.G. Clark; Negative, A.S.Foulks.
Between the hours of three and six o'clock on last Saturday afternoon the spacious home of Chancellor Snow was the scene of a very enjoyable reception, given by the Pi Beta Phi fraternity in honor of its patronesses. The parlors and library were tastefully decorated with carnations, roses and smilax, and presented a most pleasing spectacle. Pink was the prevailing color of the dainty table, in the dining room, which was presided over by the Misses Ruth Plumb and Edith Snow. Miss Lallie Poehler served punch in a charming nook in the back Parlor. The receiving party consisted of Mrs. Snow, Miss Mattie Snow, and Mesdames Paul Brooks, J. W. Green and Peter Emery. The Pi Phis may justly feel that they have well sustained their enviable reputation as charming hostesses.
THE PHI BETA PHI RECEPTION.
MAY DAY CONTEST.
The Junior and Freshmen colors waved over Mt. Oread all Tuesday morning.
All night long you could hear the different class yells as the boys were going up and down the hill making preparations for the next day. About two o'clock in the morning the pole was raised, with the Freshmen colors, at the head of Adams street, near the entrance to the campus. The only excitement was caused by two of the Sophs and Seniors who were tied to the telegraph poles and left until morning.
About eight in the morning the friendly contest began. The Junior flag was soon placed on the same pole as the Freshmen and the Juniors joined the Freshmen in protection of their colors. Everything was against the Sophs and Seniors, as the pole had been placed between two very large holes in the ground, giving only two ways of approach, and the iron pole was covered with tar. Up to ten o'clock most of the fun consisted in making whoever came up the hill salute the flag. Some very loyal Junior and Freshmen girls stood just inside the gate and never let a lady pass without raising her hat to the flag. Now the Seniors and Sophomores secured some wire and tried to place it high up on the pole and pull it down, but again the Juniors and Freshmen caused them to kiss the dirt around the pole. There was a continual conflict going on from that time on until one o'clock, when the Chancellor gave a friendly talk to the boys, and the flags were taken down, resulting in a complete victory for the Juniors and Freshmen.
The Freshmen classes were the only classes disturbed by the conflict to any great extent, as the interest was not nearly so strong among the higher class men.
Nothing but good feeling and gentlemanly actions were shown all day save in the instance of the Senior who disgraced himself by slugging. ___
