Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken, Orophilian votes on 15 members this week.
The literary societies should be well attended.
For frats may come and frats may go, but we go on forever.
The whangdoodle mourneth,but the Courier goeth on forever.
Prof. Bailey has the chemical building in excellent condition.
Last year the consolidation, this year bogus shares, and still the Courier, the non-fraternity paper, flourishes.
All the aforesaid and deposing done by the aforesaid J. D. McLaren and behindsaid W. L. Kerr can't make them the legally elected managers of THE COURIER.
The Oreads will let a number of music students use their piano this year, and thus realize something that will help to pay the piano debt.
Professor Wilcox is giving great satisfaction to his classes. He is very thorough and very careful in his methods. We hope to see some fine Greek specialists turned out under his instruction.
Messrs. (Ack and Oak)ley represent themselves as president and secretary respectively (not respectably however) of the COURIER Company. Beware of imposters. J. Sullivan is the only legal president.
The class of '87 once so famed for the beauty of its ladies, has but five of these charming creatures left in its ranks. But their beauty is lustrous as of old and their grace and wit no less pleasing.
New lady student: "Oh, I think these girls' clubs are so nice. I guess that I will have to join one. But then you know if I don't like it I can go out again just like the other girls did." Alas! too true, too true.
It is said on good authority that Miss Franc Johnson, a quondam belle in K. S. U., is shortly to be united in the holy bonds of wedlock. Report says, however, that Morgan is not the lucky man. Sorry for Morgan, congratulations to the successful man.
Riggs again holds the position of critic in Oread. This makes the eleventh time, and there are some rumors afloat that Riggs is trying to monopolize things. But we are satisfied that no one can fill the office more satisfactorily than Harry.
"We were afraid of you, and I have for a month every day lied to you; have dealt double with you; have perjured myself; all our boys have. I have been a dishonorable hypocrite with you. We are ashamed of ourselves." J. D. McLaren.
It has been suggested that on going out of chapel the students wait until after the faculty have gone out. Would it not be a good idea?
The Phi Deltas will be glad to learn that a brother of theirs, Rev. F. M. Troxell, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, is pastor of the Lutheran church at Kansas City.
The sanctimonious Betus were on a big tear last Saturday night. No new man, however, has made his appearance. But it is currently reported that they have a sub-roa member.
Professor Nichols announces that there will be an eclipse of the moon next Thursday night from 12:30 until 5 o'clock. This affords an excellent opportunity for star and moon gazers. Wonder if Gilmore will be on hand?
Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
We have Jenks, Blair and Higgins. Name another man for first bass, and we will have another quartette as good as the old Amphibion. THE COURTOR hopes to see such a quartette organized as soon as possible, for student entertainments should have student music.
Prof. MacDonald, the enterprising young Dean of the Musical Department, took the faculty out on a big bus(t) last Saturday. Everything passed off pleasantly and tamely. No undue bilarity characterized the actions of this dignified body. We are glad that the faculty set so good an example and returned before nine o'clock.
The faculty have requested the Oreads to allow Prof. Brownell the use of their room. In return they agree to have the janitor's work done. Prof. Brownell ought surely to have some place beside the chapel, where he is eternally and forever interrupted.
Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
We are glad to see that there is one man self-sacrificing enough to offer his services to the much talked of military company. Because we realize that it is exceedingly difficult to find any one who is willing to take the captaincy of such a company, or in fact any office whatever. Then again U. S. military drillmasters are very deficient in their knowledge, and the military instructor of Mrs. Monroe's Academy could give them much valuable assistance.
SOL SMITH RUSSELL COMING.
Mr. March, our local manager, has perfected arrangements for the appearance in this city of the famous comedian, Sol Smith Russell and his great comedy company. The new comedy drama, "Felix McKusick," will be given, and a rich treat is in store for our fun-loving citizens. The plot is intensely interesting, and the play, which is in three acts, is full of strong situations and picturesque groupings, a car load of properties and magnificent and costly wardrobes are worn by the ladies. Monday, September 28, is the day fixed.
OREAD.—The first meeting of the Oread Society was well attended, and was in every way very successful.
The debate on the Silver question was very animated. Messrs Little, Young and Davis made rousing speeches.
Excellent music was furnished by Messrs. Leipman, Jenks and Nickel; declamations were given by Sadie Emery and Gertrude Hunnicutt; oration by T. S. Fritz; essay, T. J. Schall.
The following officers were elected:
President, S. T. Gilmore; Vice President, H. A. Smith; Secretary, Hattie Dunn; Critic, Harry E. Riggs.
Annual officers were also elected as follows: Treasurer, G. W. Harrington; Financial Secretary, L. A. Sharrard; Executive Committee, W. S. Jenks, Agnes Lowe, F. C. Keys.
A number of names were proposed for membership.
A "CONFIDING HEART." How is this Glen?
"Another trusting, confiding heart has been caught out in the rain without an umbrella and a pair of gum over-shoes. A dapper young man from Kansas State University, high up in the council of the most potent, grave and reverend Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, come all the way to Lincoln to establish a chapter in our very midst. Poor fellow! He failed to discover that the energetic and enthusiastic correspondence he had been conducting with the chief fiends of our barbarian Gehenna was only intended to lure on to destruction. Ah! the agony of that moment when he felt the axe descending with the well known dull sickening thud! The moral of this gloomy episode in our jovial college life is as follows: 'Do not be too fresh or you may be salted down.' The Drifter confesses to being 'one of those naughty frats, you know.' That is why such breaks cause his soul to well up in transport of sadness."—Hesperian Student.
