WHITE.—Miss Emma White gave a very pleasant tea party to a few of her young lady friends last Thursday evening. The guests arrived about six, and after an hour of pleasant social intercourse, tea was served. This was succeeded by a couple hours' more spent as the fair sex usually put in their time upon such occasions. As the guests departed, they were fully convinced
you and a few persons dissatisfied because you could not control the company, have gained any rights that can be arbitrated by your to be-deprecated course in attempting to ruin the Courier by issuing a sheet in its imitation. On the contrary, you should be thankful that you have not been prosecuted for your weekly violation of the United States Copyright Laws.

The Orophilians have adopted the by-laws as revised by their committee with a few changes. Now they say there can be no more political scheming in Orophilian. Let the good work go on.

We need a healthy class spirit—but last Monday's performances were carried too far. When property is destroyed or health threatened, there can be no real fun. We students should know when to stop.
We hear talk of an inter-freaternity ball. May it prove a success. Some entertainment ought to be held in the name of the University this year. A Pan-Hellenic reception has always proven a success in other colleges.
The crank who is ever on the alert, now busies himself by writing names in the visitors' register, who have never seen the University. This ought to be stopped, for we cannot tell by looking over the register who were here, and as it is a good resort for personal editors of the University papers it should be kept free from impostors.

The coming Oread-Orophilian contest promises to be one of the closest ever held. The contestants have been carefully selected and are persons who have had considerable literary training. Each society is confident of success, and the one that wins can do a good deal of crowing, while the one that loses will slink away in silence.
The Orophilians have amended their constitution so as to elect the orator and debater by contest. Although there was some opposition to this clause, it was carried through by its friends. The contest idea may be a good one, but we are sure it furnishes great opportunities for scheming in the early part of the year before the new students know the wires.
. . .
For some years past the students of the K, S, U. have been idyldreaming, sleeping, or have been in a stupor of some kind, hoping that a good time was coming in the way of college spirit, and not until this year has the felling shown itself in such a degree as to be perceptible. We now have two base ball clubs, which, although they have not done much work as yet, are organized and are ready to start right in as soon as the spring season opens. Heretofore we have waited until the second term was nearly over before we organized, and the time for playing was very limited. We also have an enthusiasm military company, and it only remains for the Regents to lend a helping hand and make the affair a complete success.
. .
. .
There is one thing which will create more enthusiasm and fraternal feeling among the students than all others put together, that is a K. S. U. song book. The Courier has already placed in type some of the compositions of our students and with a little work enough more could be written to make a respectable song book. When once the students learned them they could be sung at the literary societies and at all gatherings where music would be in order. Let some one or some company undertake the affair and see what can be done. It would be an investment for some enterprising youth who wished to make money. It would take a few dollars to get the binding done, but when once finished they would sell like hot cakes. Wake up, ye loyal students of the university, and put more life into this institution! Let the corridors of the building ring with songs of K. S. U.
--tendency now is to divide into classes or cliques, and to affiliate with no one outside of them.
Another matter about which we take space to speak, is the recent elections throughout the country. The contests in New York and Virginia were looked upon with much interest by all parties, and the result has been the cause of much joy in the Democratic ranks. Their unquestionable victory in Virginia shows that that state wishes to still be one of the "Solid South," and continue under Democratic rule. Their success in New York proves that they are pleased so far with their choice for president and willingly cast their ballots for one who has said he will uphold Cleveland's doctrines. The metropolitan Republican papers attribute their defeat to the "stay at home voters;" to the speeches made by Foraker and Logan in that state a few days previous to the election, in which they claim that they did not speak Republican sentiment, and to the enthusiasm of the Democrats which had not yet died out since the last election.
Considering the result of the contest, we would in a feeble way, simply like to inform the Republican party that if they don't get out of the stupor they have fallen into, they are going to wake up some morning and find the Democrats with their hands on that which the Republicans had possession of for the last quarter of century.
Now that there is no more room for political scheming in the literary societies this year, the dirty workers thought they would step down into a class meeting and try to run a Freshman election. So last Friday the innocent Freshies called their meeting to elect officers for the ensuing year and adopt a constitution as has been the custom. When they assembled and were called to order, they found a large delegation from the Sophomore class in their midst ready to assist them in their work, and great assistance they gave; for before they knew what they were about the Freshies adopted a clause in their constitution which gave the Sophs, the right to vote, and before the meeting adjourned most of the officers elected were actually members of the class of '85. Afterwards those of the class who were in favor of doing what is right agreed to hold another meeting and expel those who have previously connected themselves with any other class. On Monday the Freshies held their meeting with guards placed at every door and window. By this means only Simon pure Freshmen were admitted. The aforesaid Soph, officers and their friends stormed at every entrance however, and finally set the Sulphydric gas machine at work through the door cracks. The Chancellor caught one Soph. at this and suspended him Tuesday. Both Freshies and Sophs, held peaceful meetings on the latter day. But the trouble is not yet over. We go to press too soon to report the final proceedings.
. .
We section go outside or the space of college life in the columns of the Course, but when we speak of things in which students are interested and in which they take part outside of the University, we think we are still in order.
The most recent event is something which happened in our own state—the Walkup trial at Emporia. As quite a number of our students intend to become lawyers, they have watched the proceedings with considerable interest. The case was a matter of life and death with the fair young widow, and money was not spared in securing the best lawyers in the state, and in return words were not spared by them in arguing the affair before the jury.
After some deliberation the immortal twelve have rendered a veredict of "Not guilty." Upon their oaths they declare that the state has not proven that Walkup came to his end at the hands of his wife. One thing was certain, he died of arnicic poison, but that it was his wife that administered the drug they claim was not shown. Although it is a suspicious incident, it is no proof that she murdered her husband because she had been the purchaser of the same substance which caused his death shortly be fore the time he died. It was thought by some that on account of the young age of the defendant, they would show partiality toward her, and a remark of one of the jurors after the case was decided, was: "If I had voted to convict that little girl, her face would haunt me in my sleep all the rest of my life." So the matter my not be settled yet. A motion for a new trial is in order. However, the jury was carefully selected and all were capable of judging rightly. The state had the very best lawyers to contend with, and it is no surprise that the verdict is what it is. We hope our K. S. U. lawyers (to be) have gained points in the case which will help them in after life.
. .
The trouble between the classes has blown over. The suspended student has been taken back. Now that the students are in their cool senses, they regard the affair in a different light.
Students' Views.
STUDENTS VIEWS:
Now that we have a military company, why don't those who were so conspicuously frequent last year come forward and lend the enterprise a helping hand. After all this big talk it seems as if there should be more found willing to go in and do something. Thus an organization could be formed which would be fruitful, not only in square shoulders and erect manly form, but be a credit to K. S. U. Come out, boys, and give the thing a lift. G.
Kansas is a great state. She is growing every year in wealth and population. Her fame is extending over the whole world, yet she is nigherly in her appropriations to the University. The truth that "economy is the road to wealth," does not apply in this case, but the members of the legislature can and will object to large appropriations for library and other necessities of K. S. U. unless the benefits to the state are presented to them. No one can doubt that the increased fame of the State University adds to the glory of the state. Now we as students, should strive to set forth the advantages of the University to the people of the state. A body of young people, such as students, could exercise a great influence on the people. Our home papers are at our disposal; why don't we write to them more frequently? Our college papers would do much good; why are they not sent home to our parents? It is our duty to our alma mater to work to strengthen her. Kansas University has won her way to the hearts of the people, yet she can gain much more ground. You can hardly take up the catalogue of an eastern college without seeing the name of some student from Kansas. These should stay at home. It is as cheap, if not cheaper, to attend here. The curriculum of U. of K. will compare favorably with that of most eastern schools. The only thing to be gained by graduation at an eastern school is the name of being a graduate of a more noted school. This desire of our young men to "go East" should be combatted. The students can do it by their influence. The college papers can do much toward this end by continually presenting the claims of Kansas University to the people. No one doubts that U. of K. will ultimately rank with Michigan and other large colleges. The sooner this result is reached the better. It is in our hands, so let us hear from our loyal students through the columns of their home papers.
WILL C. U. LATER.
Some of our city fathers would do well to earnestly consider the good old maxim, "Cleanliness is next to Goddiness," and then examine into the condition of the city. Lawrence is the educational center of the state, and with its usual fairs and conventions and the historical interest that surrounds it attracts many visitors. These are not favorably impressed with the many disagreeable odors that greet the sense from alleys, by-streets and even Mass. street itself. Not only is the existing state of affairs very unpleasant but very unhealthy. The proper city officials should arouse themselves and see that some action is taken toward a general "cleaning up." This is a matter in which private parties should be interested more than anyone else. Let each see that all is kept neat and clean in their back yards and alleys, and with a little extra work our city will be improved to a vast extent. Let the necessary work begin at once. X. Y. Z.
Why not be more social, fellow students? We are all of one members grand institution of learning. The
Each class has its own organization and there are nine fraternities besides five literary societies. Now these all well enough, and I would like to see each one prosper. But why not have college socials, say every two weeks, in which every one could take part from the little sub-frosbie to the august senior, "frats" and "barbs" and Profs, in one grand body.
The Chancellor has stated in chapter that the object of the Friday morning assemblies, are that all the students should meet face to face. That is all well enough for the object which the Chancellor wishes to accomplish in the way of enrolment, but his having that assembly for the students to meet and know one another is an utter failure.
But, I say with a little effort on the part of the leading students and Profs, that bi-weekly reunions can be made both interesting and profitable. Perhaps you will say it is impossible. There is no place to hold them. I would say that the University is just the place and that a better one cannot be found.
The old saying that "In unseen there is strength," applies to us well as it does to our beloved country. And who is there among us that does not want us to grow stronger? Now each of you think of what you would call the best way to strengthen our University, and I believe every one of you will come to the conclusion that when this low down scheming and party strife ceases, we are strengthened a hundred fold. Here we are going to accomplish this? By bringing all the students into close relationship with one another. Then you ask which is the best possible way to bring this about? I will venture an answer—bi-weekly remembrances I would like to have the opinion of some of the students on this subject through the columns of our college papers.
E.
In an institution of as much importance as K. S. U, it really appears if the members of the college department should have sense of honor enough to know and say what class they belong. But experiment has proved the contrary. The other day there was present at the Freshman class meeting a conglomeration of Sophmores and Juniors who had a word to say about everything that came up; and they did not stop here, but even bad the assurance try and get office for themselves friends. Is there some attraction about the Freshman class meeting that calls in the upper class men and causes them to hang 'round like flies on a molasses jug?
The way the matter stands now, calls for immediate action, and a way, fair play; and perhaps we have this if our smart friends we only look at the right side of the matter. G.
What is to be done with the historical contest? Shall we wait until every other school in the state has held its contest and then hope to win with half the time for preparation The State University ought to carry off the honors, for its students have the advantage of two or three years more training than other state institutions, besides a better library for reference. Let us wake up and have the contest before Christmas, P.W.
The good old Senior class of St disgraced itself last Wednesday. According to the annual custom the Juniors in Prof. Camfield's classes brought up their Harvard Pie. The Seniors stole the pie and ate it during the third hour. Such conduct in our oldest ladies and gentlemen cannot be excused. JUNIOR
