Electric lights and electric bells, ban an electric clock. The prettiest girl in K. S. U. is a Freshman, Guess who. The musical lectures are becoming more popular every day. Everybody should attend the contest and take bisgirl and her family. The Phi Delta Thetus are negotiating for a fine hall over Leis' drug store. The Webster debating society discussed the slavery question last Saturday. The boys have found out that it does not pay to run opposition to Emmi Abbott. Attend the literary societies this afternoon, as it will be the last meeting of the year. The spelling match in Oread last Friday was a success. Ella Ropes spelled down the society. Several of our best speakers have signified their intention of entering the oratorical contest. The students will get reduced fares for the holidays. Thanks to the railbads and the faculty. The anometer on the dome showed that the wind was blowing seventy-five miles an hour last Friday. Last year the Y. M. C. A. provided a very entertaining series of lectures. Why not this winter? The executive committee of the oratorical Association after a month's preliminaries, has had a meeting. The Webster debating society had a very interesting meeting last Saturday afternoon. About twenty were present. The Phi Gamms will entertain their lady friends next Thursday evening; the occasion being the fourth anniversary of the chapter here. As examination time approaches, the brilliant student wends his weary way to church, in hopes of gaining the good favor of the professor. The local oratorical contest will be held the third Friday in January. All occasions must be in the judge's bands by the first Tuesday after school opens. Owing to the fact that Matthew Arnold will not be in this country next June, James Russell Lowell is the choice of the committee for June vote. Chapel rhetoricals for week ending 20. 20: Monday, E.

No Moral Science for the Seniors yesterday or to-day. The English literature class are having an interesting time. Chapel attendance is growing beautifully less as the cold increases and the Freshmen come on. None of the Phi Gamms drink, chew tobacco or play cards. They all chew gum. The regents meet on the 15th and 16th of this month. Important business will come before them. Some of our young ladies should enter the ountour contest. We know two or three who could give the boys a hard rub. The city library is one of the most comfortable student resorts in Lawrence. Many needed books are found there which are not in the University library. The Senior class of the High Schohil will give an entertainment at the opera house, Friday evening, December 11th. They should receive substancial patronage. "For the most part colleges are places where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed." So says a writer in the North American Review. Now we know what is the matter with us. We give below a complete list of those who had the supreme gall to take their best girls to a free concert when Emma Abbott was in town; Glimore, White, Kennedy, Topping, Stimpson and Street. Oread program today: Declaration, W. A. Prescott; essay, W. L., Kerr; oration, Deat Dunn; declaration, Hattie Dunn; reading, Henri Nielck; essay, C. L. Lewis; oration, E. C. Little; debate, T. S. Fritz, C. L. Smith; Prof. Corruth, L. A. Gilbert For $8.12 you can procure a ticket for the city library for a year. This reduction is for the month of December only. The library is well furnished with carefully selected books in every department of literature. In no other way can so much good reading be obtained for so small a sum. SUBSCRIPTION FIFTY CENTS PKR YEAR The following program was rendered in Orophilian Friday: Readings, Mr. Jacobs, W. B. Kellogg; oration, W. T. Caywood. After recess the subject of the piano was revised, and the following persons appointed to solicit money for the payment of the note: B. P. Blair, W. E. Higgins and Miss Sabine. The oratorical contest last Friday evening was poorly attended. The program taken as a whole was good, but on the part of some showed lack of preparation. From the little interest taken in it by the students, the societies and even the participants, it is safe to say that the first contest will be the last. Our history department, under Prof. Canfield, is becoming one of most popular in the University. Thus is shown in the largely increased classes each year. Last year the political history class numbered two, while this year there are twelve in the class. All other classes show a similar increase. We will want an assistant professor before long.
