LAWRENCE KAN, NOV. 12, 1898
The University went republican la t Tuesday.
The down town papers said that the University strongly resembled a ladies' seminary on Tuesday.
The only excuse which any of the students have offered for the defeat of last Saturday is "hard luck."
We believe that rabbit foot was the hoodoo las' Saturday. Once before Kansas resorted to that 'Jonah', and was as signally defeated as Nebraska did it.
The game at St Marys wasn't played because down there they don't understand the game. At first they accused Mosse of being an armored war horse, and then they insisted the center should hold the ball under his arm until he was ready to snap it. They were so ready with their klets that the Kansas men left the field.
A great deal of dramatic talent has been manifested in the University in the last few years and this led to the organization of the "Masque." Last year two very creditable plays were given the latter one. Shakespeare's "As You Like It," drawing forth especially favorable commen. This year the Masque has been rehearsing a number of plays and next week will present the double bill "Sunset" and "My Wifes Bonnet." The play promises to be especially good and every one who wishes to encourage dramatica art in the University should be present.
At a meeting of the Sophomore class of Princeton Tuesday resolutions were proposed to abolish all hazing if the faculty would permit those who were suspended, to reenter school, provided the student body at large would insist upon the unwritten laws of class distinction. The practices of hazing is gradually dying out it All American Universities. At Dartmouth the students passed resolutions against it as did the students of Chicago. However, in the larger Universities the students insist that class lines be sharply drawn. In this University not even class lines exist. The reaction from the exceptionally strong spirit of former years has resulted in the total overthrow of class spirits.
Professor Dyche lectures Friday and Saturday in Conway Springs and Oxford. He has his lantern along and will give illustrated lectures on Greenland and Alaska.
Miss Bassie Growe, '77, returned last week from Montana where she has been teaching this fall. She was obliged to give up her work on account of ill health.
An elegant line of men's underwear at popular prices from 25 cents a garment up, at M. J. Skofatad.'s, 824 Massachusetts street.

The University has become interested in the Masque by reason of what it has done and is now interested in knowing what it is going to do. Its work has proven clearly what has been shown to some extent before, that there is good dramatic talent in the University. Its object is to unite this talent and to develop it. Its work was at first necessarily tentative, but the fact that it produced successfully two plays last year shows that it is no longer an experiment, but an established feature of University life and one which all should be glad to recognize as a permanent institution. The Masque holds its regular meetings on alternate Thursday evenings, when programs of a literary character are presented. But of course this feature of its work does not interest the general public so much as its actual dramatic work. The first production of the club for this fall will be a double bill, "Sunset" and My Wife's Bonnet, to be given November 16. "Sunset" is a short comedy by Jerome K. Jerome, full of dramatic interest, with enough of serious feeling throughout to make the ending hardly comedy after all. It is cast as follows.
Mr. Rivers ... Sydney Prentice
Austrial Stoodt ... Franklin Baker
Lawrence Leigh ... James E. Hay
Louse Rivers ... Ruth Whitman
Joan Jasper ... Ida Case
Aunt Drusilla ... Lela Douthart
"My Wife's Bonnet" is a mirth provoking force of the old style by John Maddison Morton. It is replete with laugable situations, and certain to furnish as much amusement as anything which has been seen in Lawrence for a long time. It has the following cast:
Mr. Topknot...Franklin Baker
Mr. Cutwater...Sydney Prentice
Alfred Jones...James E. Hay
Mrs. Topknot...Lela Douthart
Mrs. Cutwater...Ruth Whitman
Mrs. Appleby...Ida Case
Fanny...Grace Poffi
Besides this, as its second production, the Masque is at work on Sheridan's famous "School for Scandal," one of the best known of English comedies, which is to be presented for the benefit of the Pine Organ Fund about the end of December. Nor is its work to be altogether confined to comedy, as has been the case to far. It is now intended to present the tragedy of "Othello" some time in the spring. Tragedy is a more severe test of the abilities of its members than comedy, but success can be attained in this line also. Other plays will be given during the year, including an out-of-town drama for commencement week, to follow the example of "As You Like It," which was so popular and successful last year. The University should extend its support to such an organization which has shown that it has a place in our work and that it is filling that place.

It might have been expected that the pendulum of University society would have swung back this week and that we would have had rather a dull week in comparison to the gaieties of last week. The expected did not occur, however, for in the week just past we have had rather more than the usual number of parties

Topska Capital: "The event was indeed noteworthy if but for the enthusiasm of the auditors. It has been long since opera principals were given a curtain call in Topeka, but last night's audience not only was in an uproar until the curtain was raised after the third and fourth acts, but demanded a repetition of the well known chorus which is the finish of the latter act."
The personnel of the Andrews opera company, which appears at the opera house Monday evening changes but little from year to year. Several of the artists have a reputation that reaches from the Rockies to the Atlantic, from Manitoba to the Gulf. At the head of the company stand George and Ed. Andrews, bartons and basso. George Andrews is the peer of any American operatic baritone, while
