An Or_anization Formed at Sun Springs Known as the Brown County K. U.
Students' Association.
A short time ago there was an organization formed at Sun Springs to be known as the Brown County K. U. Students Association. Any student of the K. U. past, present or prospective was eligible to become a member. The following officers were elected. President, G. N. Harrington, '87; Secretary, Edith Johnson. '03; Treasurer, Stella Aten, 01.
To retain interest and to become better acquainted the association will have an annual picnic each summer and a banquet during the holidays.
The association intends to establish a Brown county scholarship very soon. It has prepared a lecture course. Prof. Templin will be the first one to address the organization.
There are about one hundred students in Brown County and all are very much interested in their new work.

Class Politics.
The Freshmen attempted to hold a class meeting Monday evening in Snow hall, but owing to the presence of one ever-watchful Sophomores, the meeting was never called. A few of the more valiant Freshmen kept the Sophs out of the lecture room for a time, but finally gave up in dispair, and going out through the windows sadly betook themselves home.
Another meeting was held Wednesday afternoon, which was unmolested, owing perhaps to the presence of the disciplinary committee. Cook was elected temporary chairman, to act in that capacity for a month, when a president will be elected.
The Senior class is the only one which has perfected its organization for the year. At a meeting held Monday noon, the following officers were elected without a dissenting vote: Walter Meek, president; Fred Nichols, vice president; Martha Pittinger, secretary; Clyde Nichols treasurer.
Prof. T.M. Iden who has the chair of Physics and Chemistry in the State Normal visited the University Tuesday and Wednesday.

The engineering school starts the year of 1901-02 with every prospect for a most prosperous year. The attendance in every class from Senior to Freshman is twenty per cent, higher than the classes last year. The success attained by the school in placing the 1901 graduates has been a source of great satisfaction to faculty and students alike. Not one member in that class is now lacking a position, from Ruth with the New Jersey Steel company to Walking at Maco, Arizona, and word received from them all conveys the pleasant news that all are doing well and are proud of the fact that they can call K.U. their alma mater.
The reputation that the Engineering school has made since its establishment for turning out men, year after year, who are well versed in their profession, capable of fulfilling the duties their diplomas designate, has become so widely and favorably known that a K. U. diploma is now recognized as a positive guarantee of the holder's worth as an engineer. The list of undergraduates who secured places to work for experience during the summer vacation, was very large, especially among the civil engineers. The railway companies are beginning to recognize year by year, the advantage of taking students from K. U. during the summer in preference to green hands, and giving them the experience that is necessary to the engineer, and then taking them into their employ upon graduation, knowing, as they do, that the young engineer is fully versed in their methods, familiar with their tracks and very well developed.
The only change in the faculty of the school was caused by the resignation of Prof. W.H. Palmer from the associate professorship of mechanical engineering, which, however, has been filled by the selection of Prof. Diemer of Ohio University, more recently of Michigan Agricultural college, a man who comes highly recommended as an educator, and who promises to add very materially to the strength of the faculty.

The attendance was somewhat smaller than the year before. Those who attended were: Bradley, Blanchard and Murphy of 1902; Stacey, Barkman, Smith, Flanders, Chapin, Rhea, Mrs. Wolfe, of 1903, and Anderson of 1904.

SOCIETY.
Monday evening the Sigma Chis have their first initiation.
At Pythian hall on Thursday evening the Sigma Nus entertained most delightfully with a dancing party in honor of their new men.
The Betas gave one of their impromptu hops at their house on Tuesday evening. About sixteen girls were invited and all had a most delightful time.

NO.4.
enarge of Russell and Reynolds. The music was good and a large crowd enjoyed it. These dancing parties will be given every Saturday night throughout the winter in Pythian hall.
A fudge party was enjoyed by the Kappa girls at their chapter house on Kentucky street a week ago last night. The affair was given for Miss May Smith who has just enrolled in the University.
About twenty-five girls enjoyed the hospitality of the Phi Delts last Monday night at their chapter house on North Tennessee. Cards and dancing made the time pass most pleasantly. Ices and cake were served throughout the evening.
Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock a crowd of Phi Delts with their girl friends, rowed up the river and ate their suppers on one of the islands. They returned home by moonlight. Several of the boys took their guitars and mandolins and the crowd played and sang on their way back. Among the guests were Misses Dunham, Evans, Taylor, Hawk, Sellers, Hirst,Hammond,Trickett,Smith, Mitchell, Spaulding, Armsby, Spencer, Kellogg, Bangs, Dudley, Leslie, Levant and Plumb.
Friday night the Sigma Chis entertained their girl friends with a hop in Pythian hall. Saunders' orchestra furnished music. The boys and their guests were: Misses Williams, Richardson, Boaz, Warfield, Sellers, Schneider, Burwell, Mitchell, Morrison, Trickett,Lewelling, Hurst,Axtell, Brown,Hall,Luther,Barnett, Levan,Searles,Barber,McGrath, Kanaga and Hammond.

E. Morrison, Sanford, Worley, Chambers, Anderson, Cater and Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Williams and Me. and Mrs. Schall.
At the Rudiger home in West Lawrence, the Pi Phi's held their first initiation on Friday evening. The mock ininitiation really began in the afternoon, when the poor pledglings were put through all sorts of torture, and it was not until the real initiation services at night that they were allowed any peace. The farce usually given by the old girls on such occasions was done away with on account of the lack of time for preparation. But there was the "cookey-shine" late in the evening, to which all the alumni were present. The girls taken in were Ida Dunham, Will Taylor, Leslie Hill, Maud Rush, Sarah Wilder, Ella Nye and Kittie Plumb.
