Athletics.
Last Saturday a large number of students and several town people showed their interest in base ball by their presence on the grounds. Many of last year's K. S. U. players appeared, and acquitted themselves as creditably as ever, thus showing that we have material for a strong club.
To-morrow at 2:30 P. M. will be organized two clubs from the University, and we urge all students who are interested, to be present. The plan is under consideration of organizing an inter-collegiate base ball association, including K. S. U., Washburn, Baker, Manhattan and Emporia, and for arranging a schedule of two games apiece between their respective clubs. That a series of games between these clubs would increase the interest in legitimate athletics throughout the state, is beyond question. In order to be successful, our own organization must be perfected, and if the initiatory steps are taken to-morrow, we may look forward to an interesting series of games, of interest to the students in general, and a credit to college athletics.
Athletics Notes.
Chas. Metcalfe appeared in his old position in the pitcher's box, last Saturday, and was very effective.
A. F. Yohe, the phenominal left handed pitcher from Leavenworth, was puzzling the boys with his curves.
Jep Davis appeared at the game in livery rig. Since Jep is a Junior he is too toy to play ball.
Sharrard, of Atchison, was struck on the probosis by the ball, slightly disfiguring that important feature. He managed to climb the hill Monday, however.
If one of our business men will erect a "back stop" on our grounds, he may paint a his "ad" all over it, and we promise him that it will withstand the cyclone of hallowe'en, e'en be it marked all over "a la Steinberg's, the King Clothier, per Rohe."
Washburn has consented to enter an inter-collegiate association. Let not K. S. U. be backward in this matter.
If Emporia joins the inter-collegiate association, it is hoped that she will not import McClure or McCormick to help win. Neither that K. S.U.will "essay"to ring in Matthew Arnold on the diamond.
Do not forget to come out to-morrow afternoon at 2:30, at the ball grounds on Massachusetts street.
Chancellor Lippincott reports that everything connected with the University is in a very encouraging and prosperous condition. This is particularly true of the musical department.
VIEWS
EDITOR VIEWS:—My attention has several times of late been called to the fact that the students of the University have no physical bearing; that they were round shouldered, and had no idea how to carry themselves. It seems to me that if some steps were taken to remedy this evil (and it is a great one) the University of Kansas would be nearly perfect. The only way to get at this is by military training. It was tried here once before, and was found to be impractical. But for what reason? Because the faculty did not interest themselves, and left the company in charge of a few inexperienced students, who did not know the first principle about military tactics. The system works well in most of the eastern colleges, and in the Agricultural college of this state, and there is no reason why it should not be practiced here; and all it wants is a little help from the faculty, and the government will appoint an officer of the regular army to command the company. Why let other institutions having less standing than K. S. U. surpass us in this?
R.
BOARDER.
EDITOR VIEWS:—The present exorbitant rates which the boarding house keepers are now charging, brings forward the advisability of a college dormitory, where students could obtain rooms and board at reasonable prices. Such a scheme could be easily carried out if some one would take charge of it. As matters stand now, students who have to go through the college course as cheaply as possible, will prefer a college where board is not so high. There is no reason at all why board should be fifty and seventy-five per cent higher now, when we are having a bountiful year, than when provisions were high two years ago. But this is a fact. And it shows a condition of affairs which ought to be remedied.
that nearly every student who has attained prominence has been a member of a fraternity; and they will testify to the good they have received from the brotherhood. The high rank of fraternity men brands any such statements as those made by your correspondent as to the debasing influences of fraternities, as the idle vaporings of a wandering mind.
GREEK.
Ed. VIEWS: I read the article in your last issue on fraternities and their abuses, and thought I saw the fine Italian hand of a student who would give anything to join one. The writer alleges that joining a fraternity is injurious, and supports such a declaration by asserting that many fraternity men have degenerated on entering the ranks of the Greeks. In my observations I have seen just the contrary. The fraternity has held many a young man from evil habits and practices. The whole object of a fraternity is to elevate and enhance the worth of the members, and when the principles are faithfully obeyed, it is of great advantage. You will find
EDITOR VIEWS:—As a piece of "alleged news," we notice the report that Sigma Chi has seceded here, and will join the prospective Delta Tau Delta. Whether this report be true or not, we are not prepared to say, but we protest against having the vagaries of a non-fraternity crank being accepted as even "alleged new." This crank, who is a nonfraternity man from necessity, and not from choice, is a perpetual source of discord. H.F.
EDITOR VIEWS:The Review constitution claims to be fair to non-fraternity students, and at the first election three non-fraternity men were placed on the staff. At the meeting yesterday the places of two of these were filled by secret society men, thus leaving the "barbs" with but one representative (?) on the Review. If this be justice, let us have no more.

EDITOR VIEWS: The absence of all class distinction and feeling seems to be a notable feature in the Kansas University. As the result, I have seen no hazing nor the least evidence of anything of the kind since I came here to attend school. No cane rushes, no despoiled banquets have taken place, everything is dull and quiet, and it seems as if such a state of affairs will remain through the year.
B.F.BIGELOW DRUGS.
I have learned from a student, who last year attended Troy Polytechnic, that in all eastern colleges, such a year would be considered dull in the extreme. In fact, he says in eastern institutions a practical joke or a "tear" is thought to be an essential element of college life. Now I have often wondered why the students of the University were so orderly and quiet, why they never get on a "tear," and really why they never behave themselves as college young men should. Is it the presence of the fair sex that makes them modest and undemonstrative, or is it the natural spirit of a Kansan that cools his ardor? Will the editor of the Views rise and explain? SIR JOHN.
