O. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING Vol. V. LOCAL. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC.17, 1886. Too--bo-o—o—o! "Only let me take him out on the landing boys, and then I will let him go." See J. S. Crew's Ad, on the next page. Hisimmense holiday display reminds one of fairy-land. Field & Hargis sell "Statuary" as well as "Stationary," and the tricky type should have so stated in their "ad," last week. On Wednetday, for the first time in many years, Prof. Canfield dined with a college club—being the guest of the Phi Delts. He says if the boys enjoyed it half as much as he did, they were happy. Prof. Canfield's "Council Board" is now supplied with the following Quarterlies—Wool Manufacturer's Bulletin; Journal of Economics (Harvard); Political Science Quarterly (Columbia). Monthlies—Book Chat; The Forum; The Citizen. Weeklies—The Nation, Civil Service Record; Civil Service Reformer. Commissioned Record. Daily—Congressional Record Phi Gamma Delta Anniversary. All students, whether members of his department or otherwise, are welcome to the use of this current literature. The most enjoyable social event of the season thus far, was the reception and banquet given last evening by Pi Deuteron chapter of Phi Gamma Delta, in commemoration of the Fifth anniversary of their establishment in K. S. U. The closing of a most successful year, and the opening of an equally auspicious one, well merits the magnificent effort made by the chapter last evening. At the hour of nine, the grand march was held, and from then until eleven o'clock, the time was given up to pleasure and happiness. Dancing, card playing, conversation, etc., claimed the attention of the merry throng. At eleven o'clock an adjournment was taken to the Grossecup parlors where an elegant banquet was spread to satisfy the cravings of the hungry man and woman. Toasts were proposed and responded to. E. G. Blair acted as toast.master and by his bright and witty proposals assisted much in making the affair more enjoyable. The first toast, "The Fifth Anniversary" was responded to by W. Y. Morgan, a member of the chapter from its founding. He showed that in the five years of its existence, the members of the chapter had achieved more honors than the members of any other fraternity in K. S. U., in the same number of years. That Pi Deuteron had from its infancy taken a position in the social sphere of the University second to none. The response to the toast, "The Absent Ones," was given by H. E. Valentine, and many "take offs" were perpetrated on those members who were unable to be present to defend themselves. The toast, "The Phi Gam Girls," was responded to by J. U. Higinbotham. He elicited much applause and laughter, by the unanimous manner in which he treated the subject of his toast. Miss May Webster responded on behalf of the ladies, and answered the gentlemen in the same humorous and happy vein. The company then resumed its festivities at the hall, and at an early hour this morning the throng dispersed, wishing that the chapter might have an anniversary every month. Those present were: Misses May Webster, Nell Griffith, Lyle Hynes, Emma Hynes, Mildred Pickard, Hattie McCague, Alice Penfield, Lena Beard, Belle Roberts, May Page, Mamie Tisdale, Daisy Clendinen, Jean Anderson, Nannie Love, Eva Miles, Gertrude Crotty, and Messrs. DeFord, Morgan, Horton, Riggs, Gilgib, Blair, Curdy, Jackson, Sharrard, Ackley, Crowell, Hogeboom, Higinbotham, Miloes, Delope, and Valentine. TO THE CANCELLOR AND REGENTS OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY : Your petitioners, students in the University, desire to urge on your attention the very limited library facilities of the University. We have found, even in our comparative little use of it, that the library falls far short of our actual necessities. There should be many more books, and many that we now have should be duplicated. It is almost impossible to secure some books, they are so constantly in demand. With many of us,books are all the apparatus we use. We feel we are given poor facilities to do our work, especially when we see how much is asked for and given in some directions. The U. S. census for 1880 showed one hundred and forty-one colleges and Universities having libraries of more than 10,000 volumes, and we only had 6,000 then, and they have probably grown taster than we have. We understand that good authorities say that not less than $10,000 should be expended at once to put our library in good working order. If this amount, or something near this is not secured at this legislature, then we must wait two years longer. We hope something can be done at once; and that some better arrangements may be made for students who use the library as their laboratory. Very Respectfully, Very Respectively, Charles L. S. L. H. A.

West Lawrence Party. Miss Sidney Daily entertained her gentlemen friends last Wednesday evening at her beautiful home in West Lawrence. The reception was given in honor of the ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta, and about eighteen couples were present. One hour of the evening was given up to "Progressive Conversation," something new to University society. The gentlemen were allowed to talk but a few minutes to each lady, on a subject given by her. At the tap of the bell each gentleman moved one place to the right, to converse with a new lady, and on a new subject. The subjects given were quite unique. The remainder of the evening was devoted to dancing and conversation. At a suitable hour, elegant refreshments were served in abundance, to which ample justice was done. At a late hour, the good nights were said, and the guests departed, thanking the pleasant host for the most pleasant evening which all had spent. Go to PARKE for Boots and Shoes.
