LAWRENCE, KAN., MARCH. 25. 1899.
There has been some inquiry this week as to who is the author of the "The Suicide of Bachelor Jones." This was written by our literary editor, C. E. Carey; it might be said farther that all stories and other literary productions in the WEEKLY are contributed by University students, unless otherwise stated.
It has not been definitely found out whether the students can get reduced rates to go home during the spring vacation. However, things now look very favorable for securing a one and one-third rate for round trip ticket. It is to be hoped that the efforts of the students will be successful in this, for the good of the vacation will be lost if the students cannot avail themselves of an opportunity of making a short visit home. If reduced rates can be had a large number of the students will take a "run" home, and the change and rest will be very beneficial to them. If reduced rates are not given, nearly all will be obliged to remain and instead of being benefited will be more tired and exhausted than if no vacation had been given.
There has been a growing tendency on the part of the students of the University to be careless in taking from the books of Spooner Library articles of apparel left there by students who are in the library either studying or reading. Some of the students say that the reason for this is that the alcove wherein the hats are kept is dark and consequently mistakes are liable to occur. This mysterious disappearance of hats, and umbrellas could, however, be avoided if each student would take time enough to see whether or not he has his own property. On the other hand there are constantly complaints heard from the students that some one has stolen their gloves or mutiler. Now this cannot be explained by the darkness of the place where the hats are kept, as such students say that they had their gloves or mutiler in their overcoat pocket. Of course we are slow in accusing any student of the University with being a thief but the circumstances are such that point very much that way,
Base ball men are confident of holding their own, this spring. The unfavorable weather has retarded practice and the men are late in getting into good form. But despite this fact our prospects are most flattering. The candidates for the team are men who know the game and are capable of playing foot ball. Let the students and faculty give their hearty support to the base ball players. In spring, students must have out door recreation and there is none better than base ball. It is exhilarating and exacting and gives the players speed and accuracy. It trains him to be quick in comprehension and decision. The faculty should encourage the students to go out and try for the team and all students, who possibly can be out on McCook field every evening. The 'Varsity will then get good practice and material may be developed that will strengthen
Whatever may have been the grevences of Iowa university in the past as to football matters, from the resolution passed at the meeting at Lincoln, and from the fairness shown to her in the arrangement of the schedule, she cannot but feel that the feeling of her sister universities toward her is altogether friendly. It is to be hoped that in the interest of athletics and in the interest of good inter-university spirit in general, Iowa will renew her former relations with the Western Inter-state University Football League.
The desire for higher education manifested by young men and women of limited means, has prompted publishers to invent at once an outlet fsr the student's pent up energy and a means of his attending college. The International Magazine of Chicago is taking the lead in this matter and is offering free scholarship in exchange for services put forth in its interest. That we should apprise our friends who contemplate a course in college of every such opportunity we believe to be a bounden duty.

SOCIETY.
Thursday night was a very eventful one. It was the night of Miss Gertrude Boughton's birth day, and a crowd of her friends gave her a very delightful "surprise" party. Miss Boughton was of course very much surprised, and the evening was spent in playing cards, dancing and feasting. But the event for which this evening will be especially remembered was the organizator of a new society. The secrets of this society are very profound and the only thing that is known about them is that they are very exclusive and their colors are wine yellow and dark blue. The name of this society is G. P. T., signifying Gamma Phi Theta. The charter members Misses Winslow Hutchinson, Loren Leslie, Bertha Miller, Agnes Hanson, Satie Taylor, Louise Moore, Grace Bangs, Angusta Flinton, Gertrude Boughton, Marie Morris, Florence Hawk and Mame Spencer, Mae Sexton, Della Frazer.
The young ladies of the Y. W. C. A. gave a very delightful afternoon on Saturday last. The invitation read "An Easter Greeting" and the entertainment was carried out in accordance. The room of the association were very prettily decorated with Easter lilies and other flowers. The guests were received by Misses Scammon, Drake, Alice Irwin, Wagstaff, Coin and Lucy Riggs. Light refreshments were served during the entire afternoon and on leaving the dining room each lady was presented with a dainty card on which was written an Easter quotation and tied with K. U. ribbons. These made very dainty souvenirs. A very entertaining program was arranged for the afternoon which consisted of declamations by Misses Root and Poff. Misses Wickham, Greisinger, Hudson and Light each played a selection on the piano and vocal solos were given by Miss Stein, Mrs. Dunlap, and Mrs. Hopkins. The Misses Riggs sang a very beautiful trio. Mrs. Cora McCullum Smith gave one of her delightful readings on "Easter."
The Phi Delts gave a very informal but enjoyable hop in Journal hall last Saturday evening. Music was furnished by Saunders and a very delightful time jwas had by all present who were, Misses Pearle Harbison of Jewell City, Marie Nelson, Rachel Pugh, Pearle Heinicke, Minnie Leach, Lou Havens, Marjorie Banker Lou Griggs, Gertrude Boughton, Alice Spaulding, Gertrude Becker, and Virgie McCrory; Messrs.

The Y M. C. A. entertained the faculty and students of the Engineering school Saturday evening with a Poster party at the rooms of the association on Ohio street. The committee on entertainment and reception were Misses Tobey, Henley, Heinecke, Johnson, Walling, Jones, Algie, and Devlin. The Poster entertainment was very unique and afforded much amusement.
The semi-annual banquet of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity took place last Friday night at the Midland hotel in Kansas City. The occasion was the reunion of the Kansas City Alumni with the delegations from neighboring colleges. The banquet was a very elaborate affair, after which there were several toasts. The Betas who attended from the Lawrence chapter were Messrs, Housh, Carroll, Griggs, Parent, Cross, Bradford, Bliss, Silver, Simpson and Prof. Haworth.
