The party left town a little after 9 o'clock. Everyone indulged in a general good time during the drive, arriving at the place selected for the picnic, a little before noon. After an excellent dinner, two of the members "chose up" sides and a base ball game followed. This game, in which all participate, is always a prominent feature of the day's sport. After the ball game there was a series of races, jumping contests, and various other gymnastic feats, giving evidence of athletic skill as well as an appreciation of the humorous sense. A peanut race by six of the girls was quite an interesting scene. By the time the games were finished, some of the members seemed to develop roving propensities, and more or less lengthened strolls were the order until supper time, when the second feast was enjoyed in true primitive style. After supper famed bards and silver-tongued orators rose around the campfire and regaled the feasters with their charming eloquence. The day' sport closed after the new members were put through that crucial test—the one-sided and solemn ceremony called "initiation." About 8 o'clock the party returned to town, various songs heralding the approach of a wearier, perhaps wiser, but certainly a happier crowd. Each one declared the day one of the happiest and best of his life, and resolved that four annual Snow picnics would be a feature of his university to remember in after years. PI BETA PHI OPERA. The Pi Beta Phi girls are going to present, for their lady friends, the comic opera. The House That Jack Built,at the Unitarian church, next Monday evening. The opera is by the well known song writer, Mrs. Jessie Smith Gaynor; who is a Pi Phi from the University of Iowa, and the ladies who attend the performance will doubtless have a de lightful evening. The proceeds of the entertainment will be for the Lucinda Smith Buchan Scholarship,which is supported by the Alumnae of Pi Beta Phi. Have Squires make your cap and gown picture.

At the annual meeting of the Pharmacy Alumni Association, May 13, an auditing committee was appointed to audit the treasurer's books. The report shows the finances of the Ass'n. to be in better condition than last year although over 50 members lapsed. The average cost per member amounts to over 65c so it may be readily understood that the annual dues of $1.00 are not at all high. Among the expenses for this year it will be noted that the Ass'n. donated $10 to assist the class of '04 in defraying the expense of their annual.

INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS Nebraska students recently engaged in a class mixup, into which it seems the entire school was drawn before the affair was brought to a close by the minions of the law. The spiriting away of some of the cast of a class play, the dispersion of the Metropolitan police force of Lincoln and the final success of the histrionic production were features of the affair. Further information of a reable character cannot be given as the Weekly failed to receive the Daily Nebraskan containing the story of the trouble. Whether the Nebraskan cut us on account of being naturally bashful about boasting of the great happenings of the institution or whether it feared that K. U. students might go wrong from the effects of 'criminal suggestion' after reading the account of the battle, is not known.
