Freshman, reading a book by H. S. Smith, S. E., to Senior: "What does 'S. E.' mean?"
"Civil Engineer, of course," came the knowing answer.
A colored gentleman, realizing his equality, was heard to exclaim on the streets yesterday: "De Publicans ain't gwan ter buy my vote no mor' for one dollar, when dey pays two for Democrats in Indiana!"
There is one thing we would protest against in the Senior orations. They are too commonplace, too matter of fact. Greece and Rome do not fall enough, and the "art gallery of the skies" is escaping notice.
Dr. Lippincott is much pleased with the effect that his Friday morning's lecture executed upon the behavior of the students Friday night. It is noticeable that the Doc's religious influence is becoming powerful over the boys. Even Lindsey is reforming.
John, said Mr. B., to the Garnett dude, "What would you take to stay alone all night on the dome of the University?"
"What is the difference between my girl and vegetable soup?" asked Sophomore C——of Freshman D——.
"I'd take cold, of course," replied the invincible.
Freshie gave it up, and C'—— warbled forth, "the soup is herb soup, while she is s(o)uperb,"
"I wish I was a star," Gilmore said, smiling at his own poetie fancy.
"I would rather that you were a comet," she said in a dreamy tone that made his pulse quicken with hope.
"And why?" he asked with suppressed anxiety.
"Oh," she replied in a freezing tone, "if you were a comet you would only come around once in 1,500 years."

The "storm flag" over Leis' drug store, of which we spoke in our last issue, is not managed by Prof. Snow. On the contrary, the professor declined to take charge of it. The changes in weather which it is supposed to show, are indicated by dispatches from the U.S. signal stations. In this country there are very few such posts, and not near enough to make predictions accurate. So Prof. Snow refused to undertake the work, which must of necessity be very uncertain.
"Suppose," said Prof. Marvin to Franklin, in examination, the other day, "that you had built an engine from the ground up, and were sure that all the machinery was perfect, but when you put it on the road, the pump would not draw water, what would you do?"
"You say that all the machinery was in perfect order," asked Franklin, for he did not want to go ahead until he was sure he was right.
"Yes," replied the Prof.
"Then I'd till the water tank," he naturally replied.
OROPHILIAN. — Readings, Julia Powell, Miss Anderson; declamations, Carl Smith, Emma White; essays, Florence Reasoner, Will Dick; elective exercises, Webster Dick, May Churchill; orations, W. E. Higgins, J. D. Field. Debate, question: Resolved, That our educational system should be national, instead of being left to the separate states. Affirmative, H. L. Call, Ed Muth; negative, J. A. Hutchinson, D. H. Powell.
Hallowe'en came and went almost without a sensation. Probably the nearest to such a state was the sublime stupidity of a few "citizens," who seemed to think that all mischief and meanness was condensed into the students, and made noisy demonstrations of what they would do. The city played a Hallowe'en joke on itself to the time of fifty dollars, and the cops showed their usual retiring disposition. A savage, contemptible attack on the University in the morning Journal fair bid to call forth a retaliatory measure by the students, but considering the irresponsible source from which the offensive display sprang, the bold (?) boys were left to rest unharmed. A few of the students strove to keep up old customs by serenading the profs, but the effect of the music (?) was so great, and the lack of leaders so apparent, that the crowd soon dispersed, much to the relief of Lawrence's famous police force. The force of the Coroner's protest against the usual Hallowe'en jokes was apparent, and the conduct of the evening was not disturbed at all. There was not even a sign of a last year's outbreak.
JATRIKOS.—The society will hold its regular meeting at the office of Dr. Russ, this evening. The meetings have become very interesting, and the members all take an interest in them and try to make the exercises profitable as well as enjoyable. This evening the following program will be rendered. "The fore-arm," E. A. Gildemeister; "Materia Medica," W. W. Russ; "Chemistry of the Muscles," H. E. Riggs; "The Head," T. H. Rockwell. Any students who anticipate the study of medicine, and who would like to become members of the society are requested to hand their names to the secretary, T. H. Rockwell.
The Lecture Association is now probably finally established. Last Friday the literary societies resolved to turn the matter over to the Oratorical Association. A committee from that body met one from the faculty and a basis for organization was agreed upon substantially as follows: The governing power of the association to be vested in equal committees from Oratorical Association and faculty; the faculty to assume one-half of all liabilities up to one hundred and fifty dollars; the Oratorical Association to receive all assets; lectures to be held in opera house, and reduced rates to students. There was no hitch in making the arrangements, and all will probably go on harmoniously. A strong effort will be made to obtain the best lecturers in the country, and make it a permanent success. All students should unite in assisting the association to carry the course through without trouble.
The class in chemistry laboratory practice, under Prof. Bailey, are doing excellently.
While raising the telescope the other day, Prof. Nichols discovered something which he claims none else has ever seen. It is very dim at present, but the professor says it can be seen by the naked eye in about a month or six weeks, provided Jep Davis doesn't shave his upper lip.
After a pleasant German lunch last Friday the Velingencht adjourned to the chapel. The meeting was called to order by the president, Miss Clara Poehler. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read by the secretary, Fannie Pratt. The following program was rendered: Essay, Edith Manley; declamation, Jennie Sutliff; reading, Evelyn Smith; declamation, May Manly; reading, May Stimpson.
CHAPEL RHETORICALS.—Monday, E. A. Gildermister, J. Gilmore; Tuesday, Richard Birbeck, Nettie Brown; Wednesday, Paul Goddard, Helen Grover; Thursday, J. B. Harris, Orvel Highbargin; Friday, S. E. Himoe, Inevite Hubbard.
NORMAL.—Essay, Hattie Black; declamation, Ida Wade; elective exercises, Flora Eddy, M. E. Pierson; oration, M. L. Field; class exercise, Jennie Divelbess. Debate, question: Resolved. That the Indian Territory should be open to settlement. Affirmative, L. H. Rose, Florence Reasoner; negative, M. T. Cummings, Mary Sabin.
A very large assembly filled the Oread ball last Friday, in anticipation of hearing Prof Fulton give a declamation. The Prof. was there, and presented a humorous selection, which caused laughter and loud applause. Two pieces of instrumental music were furnished by W. S. Dick, of the Orophilian society. A trio, consisting of Misses Pratt, Manley and Sutliff, supplied the vocal music. After recess the debate on the question, Resolved, That St. John was patriotic in running for president, was supported on the affirmative by Talbott and Preston; on the negative by Crane and Yeager. The decision of the judges stood two in favor of the negative, one for the affirmative. The order throughout the meeting, to say the best, was bad. The ladies as well as the gentlemen, seemed to forget themselves and indulged in a great deal more talking than was really necessary. The society had its usual drill in parliamentary law.
