UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.

No.25.
VOL. V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 4, 1887.
"The Courier has been a good paper and a credit to the University. I should be very sorry to see anything done that would injure or cripple it in any way."
DR. LIPPINCOTT.
Local.
Athletic Notes.
The Pharmacists have some excellent players to put on the nine.
Jep Davis will catch for the K. S. U. nine and probably be its captain.
Jackson, Deford and Hogeboom are the Phi Gam's heavy men in base ball.
White and Taylor will form the battery for the Phi Psi nine; W. S. Allen first base, Howard Campbell second, and Ed. Esterly, short stop.
A Tennis club will be organized. The Kellogg boys, Plumb, Lippincott and Profs. Canfield and Sterling are our best players.
We look to Mulvane to organize a foot ball team and give the fellows who don't play ball a chance.
The fraternities all expect to put a nine in the field. It is suggested that a schedule of games be arranged and a championship medal be played for. This is a good scheme and ought to be taken up and developed. All the fraternities agree however, that the K. S. U. nine comes first and that the best men from all owe it their first duty.
The various fraternities are getting their nines at work practicing for the season's work.
R. L. Parker, of Ottawa University is working up a State Collegiate Athletic Association and wishes that all interested in the matter would put themselves in correspondence with him. The plan is to be worked like the Oratorical Association. Representatives chosen from the different colleges and a grand tournament to be held some time in May. Let some of the athletes, Jenks, Morris or any spirited man work this up in K. S. U.
The Fraternities.
Chas. S. Gleed, the new regent, is the second student of the University who has been placed on its board of regents. C. W. Smith,'79, was the first. Mr. Smith is a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Mr. Gleed is a member of Phi Kappa Psi.
The Phi Gams had a pleasant little card party in their hall Friday night. Six couples were present.
After the March issue, the Shield of Phi Kappa Psi will pass from the control of the Kansas Alpha chapter and will be under the management of C. L. Van Cleve, of Troy, Ohio.
The Sigma Nu Delta, under the management of theKansas chapter, is received with favor by the fraternity press.
Bowersock's opera house will in
the future be a perfect fraternity bee hive. Beta Theta Pi will occupy her old rooms in the fourth story. Phi Kappa Psi will have a suite in the third story, and Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi will have halls in the same building.
Invitations are out from Kappa chapter of I.C. Sorosis to their gentlemen friends requesting the pleasure of their company at an entertainment to be given in A.O.U.W. hall. The I.C.'s have always been famous for their generous hospitality and the occasion will undoubtedly be a pleasant one.
The fraternities, or rather some of them, were quite active last week. The Kappa Kappa Gamas initiated Miss Inez Taggart and Miss May Hair. The Phi Delta Theta initiated W. A. White, our dearly beloved local—may he be as good an editor as ever. The Sigma Chi gave the cross to W. E. Swank. Quite a good-sized crowd for one wek.
The Phi Delta Theta gave a very handsome entertainment Friday night at their hall. The hall was decorated with fraternity colors. Refreshments were served on side tables. Those present were: Misses Rachel House, Inez Taggart, Kitty Bistline, Laura O'Bryon, Lillie Freeman, Gussie Price, Lizzie Wilder, Maud Thrasher, Mabel Wemple, Kate Wilder, May Hair, Gertrude Crotty, Mamie Henshaw, Emma Bartell; Messrs. J. M. Liepman, V. L. Kellogg, H. E. Finney, G. S. Lewis, A. H. Plumb, F. H. Kellogg, E. A. Wheeler, J. D. Davis, T. J. Schall, F. Funston, E. C. Franklin, E. L. Glasgow, W. S. Franklin, E. F. Neal.
The general convention of the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity was held last week at Madison, Ind. Madison is about six miles from Hanover, where the college is located, and offers excellent opportunities for convention purposes. The fraternity has at present eleven active chapters all of which are in a flourishing condition. Of these eleven all sent representatives except the recently established chapter at Los Angeles, California and the chapter at Cornell. New chapters were established at Lincoln, Nebraska and at Albion, Michigan. The Kappa Alpha Theta was again entrusted to the Kappa chapter at the University of Kansas, for two years. The next convention will be held in Lawrence, Kansas, in the fall of 1889. This is quite a compliment to the Kappa chapter. The Sigma Chi and Phi Gamma Delta fraternities showed the delegates many courtesies and did all in their power to make their stay pleasant. They drove the young ladies out to Hanover in surreys and showed them over the college buildings and grounds. The visiting delegates passing through Greencastle were also right royally entertained. The
Phi Psis and Sigma Chis entertained them at their halls, and the Kappa Alpha Thetas gave a grand party in their honor at the home of Col. Weaver. Miss May Webster, who represented Kappa, secured in our opinion, a good share for her chapter. She returns with her enthusiasm greatly increased and highly delighted with her trip.
Wednesday night the House of Representatives passed the University appropriation bill. The items of this bill have been given before in the Courier and it is in many respects quite liberal. Chancellor Lippincott informs us that the bill passed without any trouble whatever, and the House was unanimous in kindly feeling and good will towards the University. There is undoubtedly a growing feeling that the University is doing good work and ought to have the hearty co-operation of people of the whole State. The Senate confirmed the nominations of C. R. Mitchell and C. S. Gleed as Regents. We have cause to rejoice.
There are hundreds of men all over Kansas who will be gratified at the appointment of Charley Glced as a member of the Board of Regents of the State University. He is a graduate of that institution, thoroughly educated, progressive, clean, and has good executive ability. He is in every way worthy of the trust, and his confirmation will be acceptable to all who are interested in the welfare of the University. -Topela Commonwealth.
The resolution passed by the faculty Monday in which it was stated that any student failing to pass in more than one study would be expelled,has caused considerable excitement among the "preps" and delinquent Freshmen who have threatened to strike and if necessary, boycott the University. They claim the privileges of American liberty must be protected at any cost and they cry loudly for Blud.
Wheeler, our exchange fiend, requests the head of our chestnut department to state for the benefit of a certain young lady at Baldwin that the effusion which appeared in these columns last week relative to a Baker girl and her feet and appetite was not written by him (Wheeler) and that he is in no way responsible for its publication. We hope that this explanation will heal the breach between those two hearts that erst did beat as one.
P. P. Campbell, of Baldwin was in the city Tuesday. He was very indignant on hearing that the Washburn Argo had published his oration after express instructions from him not to do so until after the Inter-State contest. If the Argo lacks in other things it is not wanting in voluptuous eternal freshness.
The Phi Delts serenaded a number of their lady friends Saturday night.
The new name for the opera house now should be the Greek castle.
Look out for further discussion on the marking system. We have more to follow.
The Topeka Capital lands our Pharmacy department in the highest terms in a late editorial. Thanks.
The fraternity goat got in his work on four victims Saturday. It must have seemed like a beginning of the year to him.
Prof. Chanute, who was to lecture last Tuesday, requested for a week's time and accordingly will give his lecture Tuesday evening of next week. His subject is the "Manufacture of artificial coal."
Miss Inez Taggart is the new COURBERT editor. Miss Taggart is a talented writer and will do much to brighten the columns of this great home favorite.
The University of Wisconsin is to have Gen. Lew Wallace, Carl Schurtz, Henry George and James G. Blaine, address the students during Commencement week. Why cannot one of these gentlemen be persuaded to stop over at K. S. U. before they leave the west.
Mrs. Prof. Nichols entertained a few of the University's fair ones, Tuesday evening. An elegant lunch was served at 7 o'clock, after which a few hours were pleasantly spent. Those present were Misses Thompson, Wright, Freeman, Price and Crotty.
The Journal is booming Eudora as a health resort. This will probably decrease the boom in Baldwin and put a stop to the reckless gambling in town lots there which has been so extravagant that two dollars and forty cents are said to have changed hands there in a week.
The meeting of the Lime-Kiln Club last Saturday night was well attended. W.R. Cone presided and the evening was taken up by discussing the following: Resolved, That Cleveland should be commended for vetoring the dependent pension bill Sullivan, Rolston and Halligan, affirmative; McLaren, Hunt and Virtue negative. This Club seems to be the most enthusiastic students' society.
Mr. O. J. Woodard has resigned his position as clerk and will hereafter be located in Kansas City. Mr. Wm. Hunt is his successor. Mr. Woodard has made many friends during his connection with the University and has always been courteous and efficient. We are sorry to see him leave. Mr. Hunt is a pleasant and affable gentleman and will make a good clerk. He has been employed for sometime past as secretary of the Leis Chemical Company.
