LOCAL ITEMS.
Why don't our literary societies pay more attention to parliamentary rules?
Hopkins, Wallace and Twitchell were "lookers on in Vienna," during the recent senatorial contest in Topeka.
The Seniors have all been to see Prof. Snow, who holds the book of fate.
Our cramming days are past.
During Prof. Canfield's sickness our friend of the "virgin beard" has presided at the organ.
Harry H. Bullene, as good hearted a boy as ever lived, has left the University, and returned to his home in Kansas City.
Do your duty, study well, shun billiard halls and spirituous liquors, pay for your Courier, and you will be happy.
The "Question and Answer" papers do not seem to thrive well. Perhaps our students are above asking questions, or are too modest. Who knows.
The lectures in chapel lately have had a very good effect upon some of our students, and our only regret is that the lectures were not given before examinations instead of after.
Somehow there is very little confidence placed in "ye local." Whenever he appears, everything is kept out of his reach, and conversation is turned upon subjects with which he is entirely ignorant.
Our friend W. M. Thacher, editor and business manager of that spicy sheet, the Pastime, has assumed charge of the local department of the Journal. His success as editor of the Pastime assures us that he will make the columns of the Journal fairly bristle with news.
A paper called the Orphans Friend, badly printed and badly edited, appeared at the University one day last week. Besides an article on the "University of Kansas," there was absolutely nothing that could possibly interest the average student.
The last lecture in the course, delivered by Hon. N. C. McFarland, was by far the most interesting and best delivered of the lectures this year. Were there more such lectures and lecturers in the University course, they would be better attended.
The war on billiards was short, and ended in a disastrous defeat for "ye ivory puncher." No more is the young man seen "bending over the green tables," squandering his time and money.
The "University poet" has been elected Treasurer of the Oread Literary Society, vice Brigham, resigned. The trouble of his predecessor will, beyond all doubt, make Mr. Simpson very particular in his accounts. He is a good man for the place, and will get all the money he can from impecunious students.
The Zoology class have commenced work in dead earnest, and they will soon be prepared to begin war on the bugs. Soon we will see them net in hand, roaming over the fields far and near, upsetting rocks and haystacks, and all for a collection of bugs.
IN MEMORIAM.
Died, in this city, on June 3rd, 1878, of bilious colic, K. U. C., at the age of four months and one day.
The funeral services were conducted at the University building on Saturday the 8th inst., at 10 A. M., by Adj't Gen. Peter S. Noble. After a dirge by the Cadet Band, the body, which had grown rank from long exposure, was laid in its last resting place.
"Lift her up tenderly,
Handle with care.
Fashioned so slenderly,
Young and so fair."
