On the fourth of this month Rev. J. G. Dougherty gave a lecture before a large audience, on "We-uns and You-uns." He portrayed in glowing terms the effect of the exclusiveness which is constantly springing up between people who should be of a common brotherhood.
The civil engineers made quite an impression last week by their appearance with neat badges. They were designed by Albert Riffle, and reflect great credit upon his ability. The design is a penant, with "K. S.U." on it in black letters, and the gold monogram, "C.E.S.," as a pendant.
There was quite an excitement among the students last week over one of the workings of the "class officer system." An old rule of the faculty, which had been a dead letter ever since enacted, was put into effect without any notification. All unexcused absences for the month of November, without regard to class, standing, previous conduct, or extenuating circumstances, were reported home. The effect may easily be imagined upon those who did not understand the matter. Those students who were absent from a mere desire to escape recitations did not care, but those who did their work well and were unavoidably prevented from attending the lecture room, were deeply hurt. The matter was at once brought before the faculty and the matter fully discussed. This brought out other evils of the "class officer system," and it was abolished. A committee was appointed to draw a new scheme for the government of the institution.
