LAWRENCE, KAN., OCT. 20, 1900.
The Daily Palo Alto, an up to date college paper from Leland Stanford University is welcomed to our list of exchanges.
Michigan students held an athletic mass meeting the other day and raised $12,296.50. Fraternities,clubs and classes vied with each other in giving large sums.
Every student ought to be out to see Kansas play football this afternoon. It is your duty. You have signed your name promising to stand by the team. Let us see you at the game. Of course you expect K. U. to win, but the boys will do it with better grace if you are there.
Many eastern schools now provide regular courses in journalism. Minnesota expects to offer such a course next year and there is no doubt that other western Universities will soon follow her example. K, U, would make no mistake by offering something in that line. There are many in'school now, who would gladly take such work, and the course would attract more.
A faculty committee appointed by the leading American universities some two years ago has just made its report. On the committee were representatives from Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton Brown, University of California, Columbia and Cornell. The report which proposes rules for putting college sports on strictly amateur lines will in all probability be adopted. Many of the rules are similar to those in our "president's agreement." In addition, however, "summer nines" and all semi-professional ventures are forbidden, as well as games on other than college grounds.
The spirit shown by the tennis people is commendable. They stopped their tournament this afternoon so that they could go to the game. That is real college spirit. On the other hand we are sorry to say that the Country club has been begging people all week to take a tramp out in the country while the game was going on. Why couldn't they go some other time? The faculty has dictated severe terms in athletics and the students have accepted them with pretty good feeling. In return for this a club composed largely of the faculty plans a "go" during the very first game. We say that it is not right. Let people who preach college spirit practice it a little.
During this lastterm the WEEKLY has been congratulating itself on the praise which has been accorded it by the students, faculty and alumni. Our exchanges have also given us the credit of
being an-up-to date, representative college paper. A glance over the papers of this term will show that the social, religious, athletic, literary and scientific notes have all received duas space, and in proportion. Local news has also made a strong showing. However, all is not rosy as the letter below to the Manager will testify:
Concordia, Kan., Oct. 13.
Dear Sr:
I am informed that you are sending the K, U. WEEKLY to my home address, White City, Kan. Please stop it. As the paper is mostly sporting and society notes, I do not care for it. If its alms were in more educational lines, I would subscribe.
Thanks for copies sent to my home.
Respectfully.
W. W. Wood.
Mr. Wood was a member of the class of "00." During the first few weeks, as we had been enabled to collect a considerable amount of information concerning the Alumni in general and class of "01" in particular we took pains too see that copies of the WEEKLY were placed in the hands of all graduates of the past few years. We took it for granted that any member of "00" or previous classes with any class spirit whatever, or the least spark of college patriotism would be glad to hear of classmates and would welcome news from old K U as she was starting out on another year. We still hold to our opinion. It will be noted that the above individual thanks us for copies. They were free copies, as have been all copies of the WEEKLY he has ever received. He never supported his college paper and so far as we have been able to discover he never supported anything at K U which stood for college spirit.
We know he steadfastly withstood the temptation to support University athletics of any kind and apparently had scrupples against figuring in social events. His "educational aim" is certainly commendable and we earnestly pray that the "sporting and society" tendencies of these times will never mitigate his genius. The money he saves by reading his neighbor's paper ought to enable him to subscribe for several leading teacher's publications and then—his meteoric rise in the educational ranks of Kansas—but we grow dizzy.
ORATORICAL SOCIETY.
Last Wednesday the Oratorial society met for organization. This society is intended for those who at any time during the year expect to enter any of the inter-state debates.
For the next meeting each member is to choose either side of the question, Resolved, That the Democratic Ticket Should be Elected, and give an impromptu talk on it. A written production is to be prepared on the subject for the week following, and at the third meeting the production is to be given from memory. After that there will probably be some of the regular inter-state debate questions determined and work will be given out.

SOCIETY ITEMS.
The young ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma held their fall initiation Saturday evening, October 13th. The date chosen for the initiation was a peculiarly appropriate one, as it was the thirtieth anniversary of the national fraternity. The initiation proper was held at the home of Mrs W E Higgins. The initiates of the evening were Caroline Ambrose, of Council Grove; Neva Lehman and Lilian Waxel, of Newton; Marguerite Wise of Hutchinson; Ida McKnight, of Hiawatha; Margaret Sprague of Horton; Mary Burmece, of King Fisher, Ok, Josephine Searles, of Lawrence and Edna Howell of Kansas City. Many of the alumni members united with the active chapter in welcoming the new members. The out of town guests were Laud Landia of Kansas City, and Lou Wash of Topeka. After the initiation the company went to the home of Miss Esther Wilson, where a sumptuous banquet awished them. The festivities' of the evening were closed by a mery farce rendered by five of the active girls.
The Pi Phi dancing party last Friday night in Journal hall was most enjoyable. The parlors adjoining the hall were prettily decorated, and here Mrs Carruth and Mrs Newton received the guests. Florence Parrott, Alberta Corbin, Nettie Manley and Constance Carruth served the refreshments of cake, coffee and ice. The dancers were Misses T'Miller, Spencer, Dinsmare, Copley, Evans, Leslie, Stone, Wilson, Boughion, Willision, Plumb, McLaughlin, Hawk, Moore, Warren, Kellogg, Leland, Ware, Bangs, Nelle Morison of Kansas City, Kittle Plumb of Emporia and Louise Smith; Mr and Mrs Gibb, Mr and Mrs Wilcox and Mr and Mrs Dinsmore of Topeka; Messrs Sirabilis, Tobey. Davies, Jo Plumb, Anderson, Bangs, Benedict, Baxter, Ware, Brown, Collaud, Nelson, Ware, Jones, Neal Jones, Sheldon, Newman, Bronson, Johnson, Crawford, Scott, Kingsley, Noble, Hayden, Williams,Gray, Mortrill, Hutchings, Marshall, Sallee, Bliss and Olin.
Mrs. Arthur Walker entertained at dinner last Friday evening in honor of Miss Louise Smith of Topeka. The dining table was very prettily decorated with ferns and flowers and covers were laid for twelve. Mrs Walker's guests were: Miss Louise Smith, *Augusta Flintom*, Anna Warfield, Erna Barteldes, Ethelyn Rice, Mrs Paul Leonard, May Sxton, Rachel Pugh, Anna Harrison, Kate Riggs and Maud Bates.
The seniors gave a party Friday night.

The first of the Eldridge house parties was given Friday Night. Zeiler from K, C, furnished the music. A number of K, u. people attended.
The Kappas took in nine new girls last Saturday night. After the initiation there was a banquet at Esther Wilson's.
The "Go."
on the bulletin boards announce that the Country club will take a tramp in the country today. The program of the march is to go 'cross country to the lake and return along the south bank of the Kaw and the Santa Fe track. The start will be made at 7:30 from the west part of town. The chief places of interest reached before noon are "The Meadows," the residence of Prof. Templain, and the old Watson homestead, where Miss Watson is reported to have spent her childhood days. Noen sees the hungry party at the hamlet of Emmeitsburg, where Miss Watson will be unloaded and hot coffee prepared. An after dinner program, under the management of Mrs. Smith, is the next feature, after a flying visit to the lake and a run to Cameron's bluff. The party will take a seat while Prof. Williston will talk on the Prehistoric Dam. Then comes the return trip along the Kaw, with a short stop at the brick yard and the water creek, and the train is own.
English Notice.
Sophomore themes will be returned on Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 9 to 12 a m and from 11 to 12 a m. The Sophomore assembly will meet on the same day in Room 26 from 5 to 6 p.m.

Dr. Heatherington's Visit.
Dr. Heatherington, who is physical director at Missouri University, spent last Saturday in Lawrence. His business was to talk over the athletic situation with Dr. Naismith and Chancellor Snow.
Dr. Heatherington says Miasouri is planning for pure amateur athletics. Their rules for this year are stricter than ours, and they propose to live up to them whether any other school does or not. With them, no man under any consideration can play more than four years; no one can play who has represented any other club during the same year, and unruly conduct on the field brings instant dismissal. These rules have weakened Missouri's team for this year. Mr. Heatherington says of course Missouri will play with Kansas but they hope we will play under rules similar to these. In the course of time he hopes all the western schools will take similar action.
