UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. Vol. IV. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 16, 1885. LOCAL. Orophilian is taking the lead in getting new members. "Stand around there, Sharrard." Prof. Aldrich is writing a lecture on the Italian Method. Franklin's classes in Natural Philosophy are progressing rapidly. Burkholder and Chase entered the Junior Law class Tuesday. The electric bells are out of order, and Ross is at work with the gong again. The Freshman history class is taking the Grecian antiquities this week. Why don't Riggs and his old sorrel mare stop at Kellogg's room any more? The Natural History building will be ready for the roof before winter, it is hoped. The observatory has been entirely painted at last. The job was finished by daylight. Prof. Spring's class in English Literature are reading Whittier's works, this week. The boys all took their girls to the opera house Monday eve. It only cost fifteen cents. The military meeting was not largely attended, but it was a move in the right direction. Why not get out the Canfield silver ball, and give the boys something to play for? The "rushing season" is now about over, and frat men will now perhaps begin to study a little. There seems to be a great "how!" for college songs. Why don't "Gilbert and Sullivan" respond? W. S. Allen wants it to be understood that the Cash Dining Association is not Hotel de Grabandchaw. A base-ball association has been formed on a common sense basis. Every man pays his own expenses. Mr. B. W. Woodward's residence is fast nearing completion. It will be a "thing of beauty" when completed. The faculty are beginning the year quite socially. Mrs. Dr. Lippincott's entertainment being the latest. Three hundred and seventy-two have already enrolled this year. We will have five hundred before the year is out. Prof. Brownell's classes, which for some time have been reciting in Oread hall, are now located in various places throughout the building. No. 6. Prof. Canfield's class in Special Economies finished Socialism this week, and the members now begin on their separate topics. Some of the frat men on their way home last Saturday night, made more noise than was compatible with the standing of these organizations. Prof. Rosedale gave a series or lectures at Baldwin last week. He is a converted Jewish Rabbi, and lectures on oriental subjects. He was assisted by about twenty students in oriental costume. Prof. Aldrich favored the Oreads last Friday with a vocal solo, which was heartily enceded. In response to the encore he gave them a German song. At a meeting of the COURER Company last Friday, A. L. Burney, Nannie Anderson and F. E. Reed were elected as members of the journal staff. To young men of the University entitled to vote in the coming election, we call attention to the fact that the registration books close on the 20th instant. Why don't some of the girls wake up and favor the project of having the literary societies meet Friday evenings? Some of the boys are dying for a chance to act as escorts. Oread and Orophilian not content with two contests a year, are going to cross swords in a debate shortly. Little, Horton and Crane represent the Oreads, and Doran, Reed and Marshall the Orophilians. The Profs. are still on a tear(!) and can't settle down, it seems, for recently one of their number succeeded in laying out one of the boys on the library floor. Misplaced confidence (or rather chair) the cause. The two Miss Cookies, under the protection of Crane and Dunn, went boat-riding last Friday. Attempting to land near a watermelon patch, one of the young ladies fell into the river, but was saved by the courage and daring of her escort. No cards as yet. | Subscription One Dollar For Year | | Published Every Friday Morning | The Review attempted to hold a meeting late last week, but on account of the legal standing of the case the meeting was declared illegal, and adjourned without doing anything. We understand the board of directors talk of appointing editors to fill the vacancies. The following is the program to Oread Friday afternoon: Declamation, Helen Sutliff and May Webster; Reading, Josie Cooke and Ella Ropes; Essay, Sadie M. Emery and Lester Sharrard; Oration, T.J. Schall and H. E. Riggs; Debate, affirmative, T. S. Fritz and Frank Crowell; negative, L. A. Stebbins and R. E. Parks. The lectures on Schubert and Schuman, by Prof. Aldrich, will be illustrated by a number of songs of each composer. The COURIE staff met in Prof. Spring's room Monday and R. E. Hayslett was appointed as editor of the editorial department; Charles Elwell, Exchange editor; F. E. Reed, Views editor; Denton Dunn and S. W. Shattuck, Local editors; Nannie Anderson, Hattie Cooke and A. L. Burney, Personal editors. The Baldwin students had long desired a skating rink, as they were getting tired of Authors, the only amusement in which they were allowed to indulge. An enterprising man saw the opening, built a rink, and made the boys and girls happy. But their joy was transient, for the president announced last week that students who patronized the rink would be sent home. Never mind, boys, perhaps they will let you play a game of checkers. The vocal department is increasing rapidly. Prof. Miller entertains the faculty Friday night. Chapel rhetoricals began Monday, B. P. Blair was the first. Mrs. Al Diggs delivers the second lecture of the Art Course Thursday. Cyrus Crane has been elected an associate editor of Phi Kappa Psl Shield. Prof. Aldrich will receive pupils at his residence, corner of Tennessee and Hancock streets. Geo. M. Gates, one of our law graduates, is a prominent lawyer in Stella, Nebraska. He has the Republican nomination for county judge. The Orophilian program for this week will be as follows: Readings, Brown and Adams; essays, Misses Dudley and Hair; declamations, Misses Newlin and Gooddell; orations, Borough, Topping and Tomlin; debate—affirmative, Hickey and Curry; negative, Pearson and Hoger. Prof. MacDonald has been leading the chorus singing at the revival meetings. SCENE ON STREET.—University student walking with his girl, seizes her by the arm, as is the custom among some of the elite here. Stranger says to student: "What has that girl been doing, stealing?" Student; "I don't understand, sir, this insult to Miss ___" Stranger: "Reg pardon, I thought by the way you grasped her arm that you were going to take her to the station-house. My mistake, very sorry, sir." Stranger passes on. We are glad to welcome the Callanan Courant, Vol. I, No. I, from Callanian College. This paper is edited by young ladies. It is a bright, newsy sheet, in a neat, artistic cover. Our exchange table is well filled with the college and State papers. Many of the papers have new editors and managers, who are just learning the trade of journalism. Several of the old exchanges have new dresses, which do not in every case improve their appearance. Some of the old journals have failed to appear, and a few are just getting out their September number. The University hails from Chicago. It is entirely literary in its character. Why not be sociable and have an exchange department? The Monmouth Collegian is very prompt in making its appearance. It congratulates the Courier for appearing so often during vacation. The Kansas City Review contains a learned article on the "Beginnings of Language." Kate Ridenour has not yet returned from her Eastern trip. Town Topics has a two-page cut entitled "Progressive Euchre Craze." All the latest styles in felt hats and trimmings at The Swarthmore Phanxia contains an "alumni article" on foot-ball.
