The Glee club still advertises for first tenors and second bases. An examination of candidates was held Saturday morning, and the first rehearsal was held Wednesday evening at Music hall.
The Adelphic Literary Society met Friday, Sept. 23d, at 5 o'clock. It is hoped that, by changing the time of meeting from Friday at 8:30 p.m. to Friday at 5 p.m., women may find it more convenient to attend. All non-fraternity students are cordially welcomed.
Mr. McClung, the assistant in Pharmacy, left for Louisiana this week, where he will be during the next three months. Besides his work as chemist for three large sugar plantations, Mr. McClung will be engaged upon regular newspaper correspondence.

The JOURNAL would like to know what has become of our base ball cathusiasts. About this time last year a game of base ball was played with the team at Has kell Institute, to show the good material we possessed. Three different pitchers took their turn in the box and did their alma mater credit. Not one of our last year's battery has returned, and, what is more, no one claims the honor of being a good player.
Mrs. Clark, the new instructor in physical training, is endeavoring to organize a class of two hundred students. This class will hold half hour sessions every Monday and Friday during the whole fall term. Different hours have been selected, so as not to interfere with other classes. This instruction is beyond doubt beneficial to students, and to professors as well, in that it will cause better work by the students. Every one should join this class; for the benefit of the University, if not for their own physical development.
During the thunder storm last Thursday night, a hay stack near Haskell Institute was struck by lightning and burned. Three very prominent students, mistaking the light for the aurora australis,—or for a burning building at the Institute,—hastily domed scanty clothing and started toward it. "Bruin," however, who at night prowls around the grounds and makes night fearful for trespassers, was up, attending to his business; and when the fire-hunters had come in contact with that sluggy watchman, they turned their steps homework with a better realization of the meaning of the verse that says, "A pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold."
Several new microscopes were received last week.

Fred Barnes, the base ball pitcher for the University of Nebraska, has been pitching on a salary this summer, at Beloit, Kas. Some of the old students will remember the clean game Barnes pitched against K. U. two years ago.
Mr. Menke found a new species of grasshopper. There is nothing similar to it in the University collection nor is it described in any of the books on that subject. Strange as it may seem, this odd specimen may be accounted for by the fact that it was found on the law building campus.
The "Barbs" began the season's social entertainments last Friday evening with a ball in the F. A. A. Hall. The ball was very pleasant and is said by all to have been unqualifiedly a success. Twenty-five couples attended.
Class Elections.
The class elections for this school year took place as follows: Fresman, Thursday, Sept. 21st; Sophomores, Monday, Sept. 25th; Juniors, Monday, Sept. 26th; Seniors, Wednesday, Sept. 27th.

The Seniors chose for their President Archie Hogg; for Vice President, James M. May; for Secretary, Laura Radford; for Treasurer, W. Corben; and for executive committee, Piatt, Miss Barkley and Miss Carter.
University Science Club.
The first Science Club meeting of the term was held on Thursday at 5 o'clock, in the Chemistry building. G. J. Graves was elected secretary, and J. E. Baker treasurer. The program for the year was discussed, and it was decided to have several illustrated lectures and one or two microscopic soières during the year. The rest of the time will be taken up in reports on original work, papers from instructors and students, on scientific topics of interest, and discussions of the same.
The Chemical Congress at Chicago was discussed by Prof. Bailey. At this Congress were gathered the leading chemists from all over the world. Papers on different departments,—such as analytical chemistry, technical chemistry, agricultural chemistry, didactic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry,—were read and discussed by those present. At each session some distinguished foreigner was appointed to preside. Brief mention was made of some of the papers that attracted special attention.
The Engineering Congress was discussed by Prof. Marvin. Here also the different sections considered different topics, and compared experiences. The papers to be discussed were printed beforehand, and the time of the association was taken up in the special consideration of the points illustrated by the authors. So much interest was shown in the special line of Technical Education that an association of men from about twenty of the leading colleges was formed, and it was decided that this association shall meet every year at the same time and place as the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
FOOTBALL NOTES.
Shellenhanger was absent in the line several days last week on account of a sprained knee.
Champla, of the team of '91 and '92, has returned to the University and will take his old place as a player. "Champ" has spent the summer vacation at his home in McPherson, Kas.
Page, who was one of the asplants for the position of center-rush, has severed his connection with the Athletic Association and concluded to devote his spare moments to the study of geology.
Platt sprained his ankle the first of this week and has been unable to play. It seems that some strengthening device should be made to put on the ankle and prevent the crippling of so many men.
K. U. has so many good football players this year that it has been most difficult to make a choice. The better points of eligibility have shown themselves in the last few days, and the team lines up as follows: Center rush, Harvey; right guard, Griffith; left guard, Hamill; right tackle, Coleman; left tackle, Matteson; right end, Steinburger; left end, McMurray; quarter back, Williamson; half backs, Shellengarger and Armour; fullbacks, Piatt or Johnson. The team went into hard training immediately after the division, to practice their secret plays and learn the signals. No spectators are now allowed inside the gates. With what we have seen of the actual practice of the team, we feel safe in making the assertion that K. U. has the finest football team in the Quadrangular League.
MUSIC NOTES.
The first piano recital of the year will be given next Wednesday afternoon at 4:30, in Music hall.
Prof. Penny's Saturday morning vocal class has an enrollment of over fifty members. The number will probably be greatly increased by next week.
Themes are due next Tuesday in the Freshman English class. Mr. Jones has very kindly brought reference books from the library to Music hall, for use in theme work.
