Prof. Greene has been in Topeka the greater part of the week. The staff is indebted to W. H. Clark for services rendered this week. The invigorating air of the gymnasium made the exercise doubly beneficial. Several students will attend the masquerade ball on next Wednesday evening. "Political History in Modern Europe" has been made a full term study this year. Messrs. Baroker, Warner and Haggard dined with the Y. M. C. A. boys Sunday. The Greek Symposium had for its subject this week the "Sculpture of the Parthenon." Alvin Long, class of '97, is interested in a private irrigation plant in western Kansas.

May was called home from the University of Pennsylvania by the sudden death of his father. J. A Simpson has registered in the Law school. By a little extra work Jerry will recieve L. L. D. in 199.

President Elliott, of Harvard, said in his annual address that foot ball had degenerated so as to be a game unfit for colleges. Either Eli Cann has been coasting or he has been airing his theories to freely. This we judged from the appearance of his face. Wednesday afternoon Prof. Blackmar's class in money and banking organized an Economic Debating club. This is one step in the right direction. Last Thursday the Phi Psis entertained very pleasantly in Fraternal Aid Hall. The occasion was the anniversary of the Lawrence chapter of this fraternity. Next Saturday evening the Phi Delts will give their first party of the season, which promises to be as successful as their entertainments of former years. We fear that the locals of this publication will fail to interest the students if the assistant editors do not see that their departments are well represented in these columns. Prof. Penny will give an hour each Thursday af ernoon for drilling the students on college songs. Every student is invited to avail himself of this opportunity to become acquainted with the college songs which have so filled the student of the eastern universities with college spirit.
