K. S. U, was well represented at "As you like it" (in the stormy heights).
The Freshman history class is the happiest in the University—i. e. some of them.
A cold wave prevailed on Tennessee street Sunday night. Go to Clymer for particulars.

Prof. James Canfield generously presented each student in the history class with a silip of paper containing advice in regard to reviewing.
It is rumored that some of the contestants will be vanquished by floral donations next Friday night. Let the friends be moderate, for this has occurred once.
Orophilian has amended her constitution. It now requires presence of members to roll-call but once per week, and limits the number of roll-calls each day to one.
The boys are tired. Sleigh rides—Adelaide Moore—Science Club reception Oratorical contest, and Schubert concert are too steep for one week, even if a free lecture is thrown in.
Prof. Miller—"How much cider will a beer schooner hold which is in the shape of a pyramid, 9 inches in height and 5 inches in diameter at the top?"
Roe—"A good snort."
The lecture by Lieut. Gov. Riddle Tuesday night was well attended and highly enjoyed by all present. Mr. Riddle is an easy speaker and smooth and graceful writer; his droll humor and pithy sayings give an additional charm to all that he says. We were glad to see the lecture so well attended, as Mr. Riddle has always been a true and loyal friend of K S. U. He held the attention "In the Beginning to the End."
Professor deeply affected.
Ophilophian hall was well filled last Friday, and a good program met the approval of every member. For today they will present equally as good a one.
Oread is in trouble about paying for his piano, and can scarcely meet the notes now due. Every old Oread, as well as the present members, should come to the front and give all the assistance in his power, be it much or little. Oread, send in your donations, whether small or large, to Fannie Pratt, secretary.
Last week we noticed no program for the University Science Club, but to-day it makes up for lost time by having, besides the regular election of officers, discussions of interest by several prominent members, Pasteur's latest results in regard to care of hydrophobia, by E. D. Eames; Retaining walls, F. T. Oakley; A recent geological visit to Barber county, Joseph Savage, and Scientific Review, E. A. Wheeler.

Tomlin and —Hurta; orationes, J. B. Harris and W. Borah; debate, "Resolved, That a strong centralized government would be better for this country than a Democracy," affirmative, S. Burkholder and Joseph Ralston, negative, W. T. Reed and Mr. Lindville. Maud Thrasher, president: W. T. Caywood, secretary.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 22, 1886
Some of the city elders who have made a livelihood in the past by dishing out to us, for nine months in the year, poor hash at high rates, are loud in their denunciation of Prof. Carruth for the influence he exerted in the organization of the present boarding club system. In this Prof. Carruth needs no defense, as students are not slow to recognize a benefactor. But harmless things are sometimes annoying, and we would suggest to those loudest in their prating, that they would please us and save their own credit by censing such selfish twaddle.
KENT CLUB.—The Kent Club met on Friday evening and had a very interesting session. The following officers were chosen for the next term: President, W. C. Stevens; vice president, J. B. Harris; secretary, B. F. Hutchings; sergeant-at-arms, J. H. Albach.
After the election of officers the case of Jane Maloney versus John Maloney, for a divorce, was taken up. Summerfield, Sullivan and Albach, attorneys for plaintiff; Scott, Stevens and Harris, attorneys for defendant. After witnesses Talbot, Albach, Miller and Hartley had been thoroughly cross-examined the case was referred to the jury, who brought in a verdict for the plaintiff. Van Vliet presided as judge.
SCENE ON TENNESSEE STREET.—Unisphisticated Prep, having been fired for the fourth time from his boarding place, about dark approached a brown mansion on Tennessee street in search of rooms, and rings the bell. Fair young maiden responds to the call with open arms, saying: "Why, how do you do, Fred. Do come in, I am so glad to see you!"
Sidney Clarke's Oklahoma Bill will be discussed next Friday evening. All are invited.
Maiden. — Oh! excuse me, I
thought you were Mr. Fred. M—
(Hesitating). “Come in and I will
call mamma.”
Prep. "What the —— do you mean?"
Prep. enters, wiping the perspiration off of his brow, takes a seat and after exhausting all topics of conversation and reflecting upon theordinarily warm reception which he received, departs without making his business known.
The sophomores are posted to speak the second time, beginning Monday.
It is rumored that Elwell has spoken the "word" and soon he will be greeted by the voices of Bells.— Who is the lucky one?
In this issue Mr. J. F. Wiedeman calls attention of the readers of the Courier to his business. Mr. Wiedeman will be found a most courteous and thorough business man. Give him a call.
YearlesleyWhite treated the professors to a ride down the hill on his bob-sailed Wednesday. It was a novel sight to see the big sled go tearing downeth hill at break-neck speed, with six dignified professors hanging on for dear life. About three hundred students looked on and cheered. Profs. Snow, Sayre, Nichols, Franklin, Canfield and Captain Franklin formed the party.
When a student sees his name posted for a chapel speech, he generally spends about two weeks deciding whether he will write an oration or speak a declaration. He generally decides in favor of the declaration, and consumes another week choosing his "piece." Thus he has only a week for preparation. If the Freshmen and Sophmores would go right to work on some good declamation when they are posted, much better work would be accomplished.
A SENSIBLE GIRL
Behind a prancing span they go,
Their hearts with happiness aglow
Their hearts with happiness aglow
Although their ear tips tingle.
The aisle is crisp and bright the day,
And biltthly, merrily the sleigh
Ask Schall, who was driving Monday night.
Bens jingle.
Along the winding road they skim,
The naiden sits quite close to him.
In fact could not sit snugger;
A girl of wit and sense is she—
She drives and leaves both arms free
The meeting in Oread Society last, Friday was a very good one, and the program equally as interesting. Among the participants were W. H. Brown in a declaration, Josie Cook reading, L. A. Stebbins read an essay, T. S. Fritz recited "Our Folks," C. L. Smith delivered an oration, G. W. Harrington read "The Song of The Shirt," and Denton Dunn gave a short, but stirring declamation. After recess there was a good debate on the subject, "That a person should never support the side of a question which he does not believe." This was debated on the affirmative by C. S. Crane and T. J. Schall, on the negative by S. T. Glimore and W. S. Jenks. The general debate on this subject was quite extensive. After the criticisms followed miscellaneous business, consisting mostly of an old subject called "the piano," but a topic on which every Oread should be well informed and interested.
The program to day reads: Declamations, J. A. Prescott and R. G. Kimball; readings, E. C. Little and W. L. Kerr; essays, Henry Nickel and S. T. Gilmore; orations, Hattie Haskell and May Webster; debate, "Resolved, That poetry exerts a stronger influence on human mind than philosophy or history." Affirmative, L. A. Stebbins and T. S. Fritz; negative, W. S. Jenks and G. W. Harrington.
GERMAN TAUGHT.

HIBERNAL HOMILIES.
Young people, especially students, should be very careful about their manners, because, if they are indifferent in this respect, strangers are exceedingly apt to criticize them harshly and judge them unjustly. A friend of mine from the East was much astonished at the way western girls allowed their escorts vulgarly to grasp their arms when walking with them, instead of they, themselves, taking the gentleman's arm as a means of actual support. He asked me if they could be really refined girls of nice families. I told him that many of them were, and would compare most favorably in every respect with eastern girls, except that they had fallen into this bad habit through carelessness, or on account of the greater freedom of manners in a new country. My friend was quite prejudiced against Kansas girls at first, but afterwards came to like them very much. I do not mean to say that all our University girls are so indifferent about their conduct, but many are, doubtless without thinking how strangers may regard them on account of it.
Nor will I ensure the girls alone, for the boys need reminders, too. One thing occurs to me now which ought not to be done, but which the boys often do. It is smoking in the presence of ladies. I have known students of good breeding in other respects, to commit this breach of good manners. The boys ought to be more careful about this even if the lady does not smoke, for it could especially on the street. I don't mean to intimate by saying these things that our students' manners are uncultivated, but there is no harm in pointing out a few faults that they may be corrected.
It was formerly supposed that a woman's brain could never equal that of man, yet I have noticed in this co educational institution of ours, that wherever the girls attempt anything they always hold their own in competing with the sterner sex. On this account I am sorry to see no girls on the ontological contest. I know of a good chance they have stood a very fair chance of winning over any of the boys who will contest next week. I hope that the girls won't be so bashful, another year, but make a break and take the conceit out of the boys.
A rather startling innovation in the marking of students in one department recently came to my notice. The usual custom here has been to mark every student who does fairly well over ninety, at least, and to give him a still better mark, if his work has been exceptionally good. But now, as I understand, one of the new professors rushes bodily to the front, and grades down even below seventy, students who have not another mark below ninety. This would not be at all wrong, if all the professors used the same standard, but under the present circumstances it is exceedingly unjust. The effect of such a thing cannot but militate against the department, and injure its students' standing. It is greatly to be hoped that this new professor will reform either himself or the rest of the faculty very soon, which ever needs it, and place students in all departments on a plane of equality and justice.
