A UNIVERSITY STUDENT MAKES A MASH,
BUT GIVES THE GIRL THE WHONG
NAME.
NAME.
A few days since a prominent University student visited friends in the southern part of the State. The train on which he came back was very much crowded. Among the passengers was a very pretty girl who was going away to school her destination being some place in Ohio. It happened that the handsome representative of the University of Kansas secured a seat beside this fair damsel. He was very agreeable, as was right and proper, while she was much "impressed." As she was going to school and he was a student, there was, of course, an affinity in their tastes, and what more natural than that they should be mutually "mashed." Before reaching the station at which they were to part, all the arrangements were made for carrying a correspondence. The woman had correspondence to tell him, but she had a friend and he addressed her to infuse the name on he allowed her to write to the other. The young Apollo returned to his work here, while the fair maiden, discussocate and alone real' on to her destination in the Buckeye State. But the young man neglected to tell Sullivan that should he receive any letters post-marked "X" that they were for him. Our readers can imagine the surprise of the redubricable manager of the Cowburn or going to the postoffice yes early to find, among his other letters, a six-page epistle addressed in a strange feminine hand. Of course he opened the letter and read with amazement the account of a young girl's journey east, how old she was because she had "no trouble on which to lean her head." Sullivan should have stopped there but he did not and learned that she wanted to exchange photographs with him. After finishing the letter, he investigated the matter and learned all the facts in the case, and now vows that he will answer the letter and inclose one of the photos of his handsome friend, and will have one of that girl's pictures.
The friend is now disconsolate, and vows that he will never firt with another girl on the cars, or at least, if he does he will tell his own name.—Lawrence Journal.

Saturday evening, in response to invitations to a musical soiree, some of the friends of Prof. and Mrs. Carruth assembled at their home. To any one knowing the Prof. and his wife, it is useless to say the evening was spent delightfully as their charming way of entertaining is widely known. During the evening, refreshments were served and heartily enjoyed by all. The program was a rare treat as some of our musicians of best repute were there and assisted in making it very enjoyable. Prof. Aldrich, Prof. McDonald, Mr. Swope, Prof. Wilcox, Miss Gore, Miss Nellie Thacher, Mrs. Nichols and others contributed to the evening's entertainment.

PAN-HELLENIC.
Last Saturday evening the Greek letter societies each appointed a delegate to consider the desirability of having a Pan Hellenic banquet. Mr. J. B. Lippincott, for Beta Theta Pi; Jep Davis for Phi Delta Theta; R. Horton for Phi Gamma Delta; Frank Marsnall for Sigma Nu; R. L. McAlpine for Sigma Chi, and F. D. Hutchings for Phi Kappa Psi, met in the Phi Kappa Psi hall Tuesday afternoon to consider the matter. On motion of Mr. Hutching, Mr. Davis was chosen presiding officer, Mr. Horton moved that a Pan Hellenic banquet be held on the first Friday of the second session. When the ballots were counted it was found that there were three votes for the motion and three against. As this indicated that there was a division among the fraternities it was decided to make adverse report to the various chapters represented by the committee.

--time for action! He "skips" his classes more than ever, walks the corridors more than ever, and with more girls than ever, electionering. Combinations are formed with other fraternities; he agrees to vote for the other fraternity man for debater, and he in time is to be elected orator. Election day comes, everything goes smoothly, the girls he has talked to and the "fat, men" he has combined with, and the new men he has "rushed" vote for him; he votes for the other man according to agreement, both are elected, and the "barbs" are ingloriously "left." He has accomplished his purpose, and now he lays back on his honors, and goes to more dances, and more theatres, and enjoys himself generally; then another election comes, and one of his brothers is elected, and everything is lovely, except his studies. But these are of secondary importance, only to be attended to after other things are finished. And when examinations approach he crams for a week or two and goes into the examination—perhaps with some writing on his cuffs—and gets a high grade and is called a good student; but when he goes out into the world he often finds that the "barbs" are ahead of him and have usurped the best positions.
FRESHMAN MEETING:— Meeting was called to order by President Allen. The constitution as amended was adopted and the following officers elected: Taylor Cummings, orator; Miss Kate Cummings, chorister; Joe Grover, sergeant at arms. The subject of having a party will be considered at some future meeting.

The first few weeks of school have passed, and all the men have been "rushed." What shall the fraternity man do now? He first instructs the new member to vote for him in all coming elections, then borrows a dollar of him, and puts in his time attending dances, skipping classes to walk the corridor with his girl—also a fraternity member—until the coming election attracts his attention. Now is the
EDITOR VIEWS: I heard the remark made not long ago by one of our young professors, that fraternity students were noticeably behind in their classes. Why should this be? The reason is evident. During the first few weeks of school fraternity men are busy "rushing" new members. They single out all new students who wear good clothes and appear to have some money, and then they tackle them. They hang around them day after day, trying to make themselves agreeable, and at the same time explaining to them the superiority of their fraternity over others; how many of their men have been President in Oreand; how many have been Masters of Athletics in their classes, or held some other equally petty office. They spend all day in this way and lie awake nights, after they get home, concocting some plan by which they may win their victim from some rival organization. They succeed, and the new student becomes a "frat. man." What an honor! He alone, among two or three hundred other new students, has been chosen a member of this honorable () body.

Now, I do not presume to say that every fraternity man does as is written here, but it is so in many, too many, cases. The fraternities have drifted away from the purpose for which they were organized, and they are at present little more than political organizations, which do not benefit, but rather harm their members. Let us hope that they may recognize their shortcomings, and improve, or let the growing dislike to fraternities be heightened, and they will finally fall. In either case our improvement will be the result; independent progress will not be checked by fraternity pwowess, and the student will receive recognition according to his abilities, and not according to the pin he wears.
EDITOR VIEWS: — My attention was attracted by a view in your last issue signed “A Greek,” in which the writer casts a reflection upon the Greek letter societies, which, if he be a “frat. man,” as he represents he is, he knows to be without the slightest foundation in truth. Whatever false schools and slanders have been circulated against the Greeks in the past it has remained for him to originate the first instinuation against their honorable and gentlemenly conduct and indirectly against the fair names of their lady friends. What kind of thoughts infest his mind, who has been able to conjure up an evil reflection against parties so harmless, pleasant and refec! i? I leave it 'o your readers to imagine if they can.
While I am writing allow me to speak of one thing more. It is in regard to the view on "Fraternity Clanism." Admitting for the sake of the argument that you have some grounds for your motto, do you think for a moment that fraternity rule is to be broken by the admission to your columns of letters so glaringly false in their manner of picturing the fraternities? You, or your correspondent, or both, seem to forget that "whom tie gods would destroy they first make mad." Be honest and fair and manly, and though you do fight the fraternities, which have often erred, I freely admit, for they are human, as the men who compose them are human, yet none the less have been square and honorable, which have shoed ened the hours and brightened the days for men a collegian, and have helped many a lad through school and made him more a man. Be, I say, honest and fair and manly, and though you do fight the fraternities, you can still command the respect of those with whom you come in contact, but you can only injure and lower yourself by spreading such reports as those of your last issue, reports so plainly and openly untrue.
