LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEB. 2, 1901.
The present Weekly staff feels highly elated over its victory in such a close contest. It wants to thank its many friends for their support.
The form of the "Weekly" has been changed from the Almanac make up to that of a newspaper. The majority of college weeklies are in magazine form but the University people seem attached to the old newspaper.
This year the subject for the Bryan prize essay contest is "The Policy of subsidizing Steam-Ships". The subject may be limited in any way or discussed from either side. The essay must be at least three thousand words long, must have full bibliography, and must be handed to the chancellor by the first of May. The prize is awarded on Commencement day. This is a generous offer that should be appreciated by every student. The prize is the yearly interest on $250 dollars which Mr. Bryan presented to the University a year or two ago. Besides showing appreciation for Mr. Bryan, and winning the prize the winner might find a big warm phee in the Nebraska stateman's heart. We do not know for sure but perhaps Mr. Bryan might run the winning essay in the "Commoner".
This term the work on the WEEKLY has been planned so that every body on the staff is supposed to work occasionally. It is impossible for one person to run a good paper; it requires the aid of the whole staff and the interest of every student. The WEEKLY will try to get everything on the hill, will hunt down every local, and every effort at entertaining. Every athletic event will appear and all phrases of university life will be discussed. If you should give a little house party and no mention of it occurred, do not go around and sulk and let your lower lip drag on the sidewalk, but cuss the editor and henceforth let your house parties, card parties and things be known to Miss Pugh the society editor. Whenever you go any place or have a visitor, tell Mr. Meek, the local editor; when the athletes know anything they must see Mr. Harsberger, and when the literary societies get into trouble they should light on Mr. Murry the literary editor. Notes from all schools, Y. M. and Y. W. notes will be run in the local columns.
Bring all of your troubles to the editor until you learn how to use the different departments. Do not think that the editors will think you egotistical if you tell them about yourself, they will love you and think you a good fellow.
With this issue the Weekly passes from the hands of a good editor to the hands of a better or worse editor. The Weekly will amble along in about the same old wav as it has since the Silurian age
There will be no distinct changes in its policy, no daring attempts at revolutionizing things on the hill nor no heroic efforts to establish a new epoch in college journalism. Of course the paper will be just a little different from former issues.
Perhaps it will be considered ronny by some unjust by others, and cruel mean and hateful by others. Its editors are not angels and do not expect to please all.
The paper will be 'run according to,
the best judgment of the staff'; if it suits
you say so; if you do not like it talk
about it and run it down.
Above all thing else the Weekly will try to tell the unvarnished truth, if the truth does not hurt too bad. There will be no sugar coated writelups in its columns. Next in order will be the treatment of the University, its organizations and its students. Good people, good entertainments, good parties, good shows, good athletics and good organizations will be given good treatment. Liars, hypocrites, poor athletes, poor entertainments and poor parties will be spoken of just as they are without any varnish. All persons and things will be respected and loved, if they merit respect, and hated and condemned if they deserve condemnation. The WEEKLY will treat all people on the hill as equal. A Sigma Nu will be treated the same as a Y. M. or a T. N. E. The most lowly barb will find his name in the paper as often as the aristocratic fraternity man, if the editors can find that the former has been any place or done anything. The man with bags in the knees of his trousers will be on an equal with the man with neatly pressed trousers. Even the men in celluloid collars will be respected. The girl with ugly red hair and light sky-blue eyes will be on an equal, so far as the WEEKLY is concerned, with the girl with dark hair and charming brown eyes. Big-footed people will be respected as much or more than the people who have small feet and corns. Men with the gout need not expect favors from the WEEKLY.
As for organizations, they will be treated about alike. The Y. M will be honored and respected for its good work. The various literary societies will be nourished and fostered. The Y. W. will be mentioned if it does its work well, also be written up if it neglects its weekly prayer meetings. The Sigma Chis will be treated nicer than the Betas unless the latter promise to join the Y. M, and cause to disturb the felicity of the turkey to maintain WEEKLY favor. The Phi Delta will be expected to continue their interest in the ladies; the Sigma Nus, the Phi Gams, and the Phi Pais, to take a brace; the T. N. E's to drink more Coca Cole; and the local fraternity, whose colors are green and black, to haul down its flag.
The Kappas and the Thetas will establish their up hill headquarters in the WEEKLY office and use it for a e-registrating place; the Pi Phis, will use the WEEKLY desk for their books and lunches, and sit in the editor's easy chair. The barb girls will find light refreshments in the middle drawer of the WEEKLY desk.
The WEEKLY will not suppress news Everything that can be found on the bill will be put into cold type that sometimes takes the flavor out of things. The WEEKLY will have sharp eyes in the darkest corridors, and quick ears in the remotest retreats. News will out. Do not be surprised at finding almost anything on the inside page.
All these things and more shall come to pass.
A delightful hop was given last night by the Barb boys in Pythian Hall. About thirty couples danced to the music of Sommers' orchestra. This was one of the most enjoyable of the series of dances being given by these boys.

Mr. Donald Mulvane of Topeka has pledged to the Phi Kappa Psi.
The Kappas have issued invitations for a reception to be given in Pythian hall on the afternoon of February 8th. This
will be followed by a dancing party in the evening.
Miss Inez Plumb entertained a few friends Monday afternoon with a fudge party in honor of Miss Milredd Chadsey.
Monday evening, at the home of Miss Eleanor T'Miller, the Pi Phis gave a very enjoyable card party in honor of Miss Mildred Chadsey, of Cherokee.
Kappa Alpha Theta held initiation Saturday afternoon at the home of Erna Barteldes in West Lawrence, for Ethelyn Rea and Inez Cross.
A number of young mas appeared on the hill Monday morning wearing very conspicuous colors—scarlet and apple green. On inquiry it was found they were members of the new chapter of the fraternity Eta Pi. This chapter was formed Saturday evening, January 27th. Among the charter members are Messrs. Eppe, Squires, Rath and Rogers. Since their organization the Eta Pis have three pledglings.
The third of the annual fraternity parties was given Friday evening in New Elldridge hall by Kansas Alpha of Phi Delta Theta. The hall was decorated somewhat differently from what it has been this year. There was a center piece of palms, delta shaded. From this to the corners were festions of evergreen. Around the balcony where light refreshments were served were draped parties. The programs were imitation leather embossed with the fraternity flag. The guests were received by Mary Spenser, Gene Ware, Katherine Sellars, Ray De Lane, Louisa, Gerdhan and Fred Johnson. Among the out-of-town guests were Caroline Mize, Heber Mize, Aaron Everest, Eva Day, Will Edinsten, Mr. and Mrs. Brownson of Archison; Kate and Mattie Stone of Leaveworth; Caroline Oeschle, Carolyn Bacon, Winston Welch, Lorenzo Dewey, Phillip McMahon, Nelle Morrison, George English of Kansas City, M.; Sarah Walker, Abbey Warde, J. P. Moore of Topcape; Chass Brown, Lyle Brown, Louis Sharp of Ottawa; George Cawndw of Girard Robert Scott of Manhattan; Arthur Schlandt of Hurelinson; Bertha Forestock of Minnesota; Mr. and Mrs. Forest Cochran, Plainville, and George Diamond and Carroll McKenna of Kansas City, Mo
Mrs. Arthur Tappan Walker with Mrs.
Thomas Henry Chalkley gave a reception at the beautiful home of Mrs.
Chalkley on Wednesday afternoon. The spacious parlors were decorated with American Beauty roses and silk. In the hall concocted by a mass of palms Saunders' orchestra played throughout the afternoon. Miss Virginia McCory presided at the punch bowl in the library; Mrs. Frank II. Holder served coffee, and Mrs. Solon Summerfeld chocolate in the dining room. Here about two hundred guests received refreshments waited upon by Misses Riffle Warren, Carruth, Alder, Sexton and Pugh.
There are several crack shots among its members, who have made such records as 24 and 25 out of a possible 25. Sawtelle, Allpinin and Tucker are all good sheets, and some excellent shoots will undoubtedly be held.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
Last Wednesday night a gun club was organized at 982 Ohio street, with Geo. E. Tucker as president ann Clyde Allphin as treasurer. They have already sent away for ammunition and will hold a shoot every Saturday on the hills west of the campus.

BURKE.
Burk held its regular meeting last night. There was a good attendance considering the weather. It was voted to hold the society contest next Friday night, in which two debaters will be chosen to represent Burke in the contest preliminary to the Kansas-Missouri debate. There will perhaps be several contestants for these two places. The Burke was glad to welcome the return of an old member, Mr. F. L. Graves, who has been out of school the past term. Mr. Graves gave a short talk in which he promised the society a series of lectures on hypnotism.
The Little Minister.
It is with a great deal of satisfaction, and pardonable pride that the Manager announces "The Little Minister," a comedy adapted from the novel of that name bp J. M. Barrie, will be seen at Bowersock Opera House on Friday, Feb. 5. No play produced in the last century has been so well received, or has made such phenomenal success as has this one. Of his story, Mr Barrier has given us a comedy which is highly entertaining and unique. It is hardly necessary to speak here of the success which this comedy has obtained. Its marvelous run in New York of 300 nights, and to audiences at every performance which packed the theatre to the doors, is a matter of history. The reports that reach us of the performance given by the company that will be seen here is such as to lead us to believe that our theatre-goers will be afforded a rare treat. The play is an extremely difficult one cast and for that reason, Mr. Chas. Froham has had to use extreme care in procuring the proper people to portray this charming story. The sale of seats will be at Dick Bros. The interest being manifested, shows that when the sale opens there will be a great demand for seats.
Mr. Charles Froman's greatest success, "The Little Minister," is announced to be presented at the Bowersock Opera House, on Feb. 8. This play has been one of the gretest successes ever known The dramatization has been made by Mr J M Barrier, who is also the author of the book, which has been most widely ready. There is not a doubt that the play will be received here in the same manner it has been elsewhere, and the engagement be one of the largest of the season.
