JUNIOR-SENIOR DIFFCULTY SETTLED.
The resolutions adopted by the Junior class, which were printed in the last issue of the Weekly, had their effect, and whether this Junior class gained any luster by its action is a matter of speculation. As soon as the resolution appeared both sides, did a great deal of talking and made some plans for active measures, but no definite plans were made by either side. President Hall of the Senior class and Mr. Jones of the Junior class made an agreement as to the rush, how it should be conducted and what the action should be in case either side should be victorious, but in the first place, Hall was not satisfied and in the second place, the Junior boys would not stand by Jones' agreement.
Tuesday morning was the time set for the fun but as all agreements had been declared off, no one knew certainly whether there would be trouble or not. On Monday evening some of the leading Juniors were buzzing around in an excited manner and aroused the suspicion of a few Seniors. Tuesday morning some Seniors wore their old hats and some Juniors were clad in their old clothes. At 8:10 a little fight began. No one knows exactly why but it was perhaps because no definite plans for a general free-for-all could be agreed upon. Mr. Jones says it was because Mr. Hall refused to meet with the Chancellor and himself. Anyway the Juniors pounced onto the Seniors in overwhelming numbers and took a good part of the bands in sight. It was an unequal fight. The Juniors did not plan with any fairness, and the Seniors, outnumbered as they were, resorted to any kind of defense at hand. The melee ended at chapel time. The Seniors, enraged at the Juniors' foul play, held a meeting and decided to even up matters at noon.
When 12 o'clock came the Senior boys, in a body, were ready for the Juniors who were in the class meeting. But by this time Chancellor Spangler was taking active measures to restore peace. The Juniors were in a trap; they could not sneak out and the Seniors were now too many for them to risk open battle. The following shows the settlement:
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE,
LAWRENCE, MARCH 14, 1901.
TO THE SENIOR CLASS:—
I take this opportunity to express to the Senior class my hearty appreciation of its conduct last Tuesday in showing due respect to the office of Chancellor, and in subordinating personal feelings to the general good of the University. And, in order that there may not be no misunderstanding as to the terms upon which the difficulty between the Senior and Jun or classes was settled, I desire to say that the Juniors, at a regular class meeting, voted:
2. Not to molest the Seniors in the wearing of hat bands, or distinctive class hats.
1. To rescind the resolutions adopted in regard to the Senior hat bands.
3. To surrender to me the hat bands taken from the Seniors.
And the Seniors, on their part, agreed to abandon all attempts at retaliation.
Respectfully,
(Signed.) Respectfully, W. C. SPANGLER, Acting Chancellor.
And now "the white pigeon of peace has tied up the dogs of war." BARCUS.
The young ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma held initiation last Friday evening at the home of Miss Josephine Searles. The initiates of the evening were Miss Lulu Penn of Wellington and Miss Louise Lewelling of Wichita. About thirty-five of the active and alumni members joined in the initiation ceremony after which all were invited to partake of a banquet spread for them by the hostess' mother, Mrs. Searles. The guests were seated at a long table made attractive by the decorations of smilax and violets. The banquet was an enjoyable one and was followed by an original farce. The girls taking the different characters in the play were Esther Wilson, Mayme Addison Katharine Addison, Mabel Henry, Lillian Axtel, Mary Riddle and Margaret Sprague. Miss Fannie Havens, of Leavenworth, was an out of town guest.
