CLASS PARTIES.
It is with regret that Senior notices the absence of social gatherings among the lower classes. While there are already many things out side of the University curriculum that engage the student's time and attention, yet there are some for which it would be well to substitute these class parties; parties that tend to develop the really social side of one's nature and in which a whole class could share. Class parties are more in accord with the democratic spirit that should pervade a real university.
The class of '03 has ever been noted for the number of gatherings of a social nature it has had. Resident members have kindly entertained the classes at their homes, box-parties and picnics have been indulged in and thus a friendly spirit has been fostered among the members of the class. While Senior does not consider box-parties as the right thing for a class to have in order to cultivate the social part of its student nature, as involving too much vain display, he does think decidedly that harmless parties and picnics should be part of the object of a class' organization. Apparently the sole object of some classes' organization is to create offices to be scrambled for.
Now let the Juniors and Sophomores and Freshmen follow the example set by the class of '93 by having quiet pleasant little parties, and even improve upon it if possible. Several of their number live in town and have homes suitable for entertaining a large company. No great expense would be necessary and much pleasure and profit would result.
SENIOR
We Would Say
That it will become a Fresman as he shambles 'long our streets,' that he tip his hat respectively to the Sophomore he meets; for it shows the worst of breeding not to make a humble bow, when you meet a great superior who doth your life allow; there are times when we'll excuse you from this duty that you ewe; one is when we are with ladies and it would disgust us so, to have your royal greennesses in meek and gentle mood, degrade us by a cowering look and physiog, so crude; another time we'll condescend to let you have full rein and pursue the evil tendencies already seen so plain. as you meet us out with Prexy n a quiet promenade; do not dare to glance upon us but to Prexy give the nod; with these things in good remembrance, you may get along with us, but neglect of them will bring you things too awful to discuss.
STOLEN BY A SOPHOMORE.
Baker Afraid.
The Ottawa Journal, Leavenworth Times and a few other country papers in Kansas are just now indulging in cheap gibes at which they choose to call the "Lawrence foot ball" team, and the Times says: "Now the Lawrence papers are saying that the University club just gave that little game to Baker. Well then, let them trv it again. Winning a game from Baker will have a great deal more effect in inspiring confidence in the University club's generosity than anything the Lawrence papers can say."
Well, the Kansas University foot ball team is ready to play Baker and issued a challenge for another game. Baker has refused to play. The team taken to Baldwin last week was made up of substitutes in order to say regular players for the Missouri game, which was scheduled so close to the other. If Baker or her backers want another game with Kansas University they will find a ready response at any time.
Baker foot ball team has played five games during the season and lost three of them. It is amusing to see the Beacon claim the championship of this section of the country.
