LAWRENCE, KAN., OCT 14. 1899.
The enrollment has passed the 1000 mark and is still climbing. This is going to be a great year.
The idea of club or class football games is a good thing and helps to show up what material we have.
We wish to call attention to the vivid description of the Athletic election this week as given in an open letter in another column. This is a fine tribute to the college spirit of the students and professors of K. U.
The Twentieth Kansas is once more on American soil and a right royal welcome they will be given. They have done noble work which should be well rewarded. The University has a great interest in the regiment, and when it comes to welcoming them home, we'll all be there.
The announcement of the death of W. A. Snow brought a feeling of sadness over the whole University. He was one of the brightest men that the University ever produced. As scholar, teacher, and journalist he had already made his mark, and was now just in his prime.
The game next Saturday with Drake University will probably be the hardest one of the year on the home grounds and we all want to go out and support the University right. Encourage the boys by your presence and your voice, yell, not spasmotically, when the 'Varsity makes a good play but continuously; all the way through, from start to finish.
Here's where we wish to make a few remarks on the way Coach Yost is bringing out our football men as was shown in last Saturday's game. To all appearances Washburn's team was as good or better than ours—but training told. The boys realize that they are going to have a hard game next Saturday, but, barring accidents, if they keep up their present pace they will be ready for it.
It is a matter for congratulation that the difficulties between Kansas and Nebraska have been settled in an amicable manner. There has been a misunderstanding of the situation on the part of the Athletie Board, but this has been removed and the relations of the two Universities will be as harmonious as before.
COLLEGE NOTES.
The Students' Herald is trying to wake up the oraters at the "A*" College.
The College Life still clings to the idea of long original literary productions, and speaks of weddings as "the old, old story."
"To a man in the scyamore tree it looks as thought K U. will be dead easy for our football team." —Washburn Review. "Oh yes, K U. is dead easy. Do you recall the score?"
The Washburn Review in defending the stand taken by the home eleven as to Ferreer's playing in the "Medic game" speaks of Washburn as a "Modern Christian College" and the Medics as "bark Moses Missouri."
It is a good thing that Washburn did not win the last Saturday's game, for the students were getting ready in case they won, to have a "celebration and a jollification that would shake the red college to its foundations." This frightful catastrophe was happily averted.
The "Oven" is a newsy little paper pub-
listed by the students at the Normal. The "Oven" has rather hard grazing as the president of the faculty edits a paper called "The State Normal Monthly." and the professor of mathematics pulls ads that the "Oven" ought to have. This is the only school in the country where the faculty runs in opposition to the students.
AMUSEMENTS.
At the Opera House, Hoyt's "A Texas Steer" will appear October 19, 1890. Almost every theatre-goer throughout the length and breadth of the land is acquainted with the mirth-provoking qualities of this famous satire on American politics from the pen of Chas. Hoyt. 'Maverick Branders, a cattle king, who owns 80,000 head of steers and a daughter, called "Bossy," who is dearer to him than the whole room. The family lives in a four room cottage and the old man's simple costume is supplemented by a whiskey bottle and an enormous revolver, Major Yell, one of the wildest and wooliest Texans in the state is a local politician who proposes to run old Brander for Congress, but Brander runs away and threatens to shoot if he is elected. The campaign is a success and Brander is compelled to accept at the muzzle of all the shooting irons in town. A young captain of the regular army has become engaged to Bossy while stationed in her vicinity; but when the family arrives in Washington and Bossy swells out in barbarous splendor of apparel with a half pocket of jewels on her person, Captain Bright is horrified. He finds it impossible to reason with her or tone down her extravagances and at the same time Mother Brander is making herself a fright and the old man appears like a monkey in ill-fitting garments intended to be civilized. Bossy discover that her lover is ashamed of their appearance and breaks the engagement sending him from the house and she and mothie put in some hard study at a book of etiquette. Old Brander gets on amazingly in the roll of a congressman and avoids fatal shooting scrapes while he is initiated into the ways of statecraft by Brassey Gall, an accomplished and utterly unprincipled lobbyist.
SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS
A number of the students are making arrangements to attend the grand opera at Kansas City.
The second students' recital will be given at North College Oct. 18, at 4 oclock.
The first students' recital, given last week, was well attended.
Much interest is shown in lectures on history of Fine Arts by the students this year. They seem especially interesting.
The University orchestra meets with Prof. Farrell every Wednesday at North College at 5 o'clock.
THE ADELPHIO:
For the evening of Oct. 21, a program for great interest to all, and very entertaining in its novelties will be presented. Mrs. McCullom Smith will give a reading and the music department of the Fine Arts school will render special music The debate will be upon "Spelling Reform," and will be conducted entirely by the lady members of the society. Everybody is invited to attend.
The Adelphic Literary Society held its first session in Fraser Hall last Saturday evening. A good attendance was reported and an excellent program was rendered. The debate was upon the "Trust" question, and brought good arguments on both sides. Prof. Vickery was present, and gave a very interesting and instructive talk on Elocution and the value of literary societies.
