LAWRENCE, KAN., NOV. 5, 1898
The game this afternoon proved that "disorganization" talk to be all a fake.
There should be some provision made to have light in the library these dark evenings.
The Kansas City World of Sunday contains a half tone of Tipton, "Kansas' new leaf guard."
Seven hundred students of Manhattan University went to Omaha on an excursion last week.
It was an enormous crowd for a University athletic feature and the crowd was not disappointed.
The students of Kansas University showed the true spirit when Nebraska came in. They met them at the train with the band, cheered for them and treated them as gentlemen. In return for what? Yet we consider that we have been avenged.
Those articles which appeared in the Kansas City and Topeka daily papers concerning the demoralization of our team, were amusing in their inconsistency. Moss's ills were entirely fancied and the "disability" of Owen proved decidedly ambiguous.
There is a growing respect for Coach Woodruff, among the members of the team and the students. Those who took the trouble to inquire into the difficulty of a few weeks ago find that he was almost entirely in the right. It was merely discipline that he exercised, and the value of it may be found in the rapid advance of the team.
One of the papers sent to the library is addressed to Miss Alma Mater. This recalls to one's mind the story told last year at the commencement banquet by Dr. Barrows. A traveller inquired of a farmer if he could tell him anything about the college, yonder. "Well I reckon I can, I'm one of the Alma Maters."
The University of Wisconsin football team is threatened with defeat and possible disruption on account of lack of material. There is scarcely any interest in football there and the first team misses sadly the practice the scrubs might give them. Thus the scrubs in the 'Varsity may see how much they add to the success of our own team.
It is time we were considering an organization of the Oratorial Association. For two years there has been no organization whatever. We won last year in the state contest and doubtless have the material in the University to win again. But there must be some unity and our representative must have our support.
A mass meeting was held in chapel Frinoon for the purpose of working up more enthusiasm for the football game today. The chancellor made a short talk in which he urged all the students to attend the game, and to do nothing at the game that would be unbecoming to gentlemen. He also suggested that the student body learn the Nebraska yell so that we could greet them with this when they arrived. Short talks were made by other members of the faculty. Music was furnished by the Kansas university band.
SOCIETY.
McCook held never looked gayer than this afternoon when all fashionable Lawrence put on its Sunday garb and sallied forth to see the game. Bleachers, grandstand and side lines were a mass of humanity in which University ribbons and the variegated tints of fall millinery were the predominating colors. The south side lines were of particular interest for there the greatest number of swell carriages were drawn up. The most notable of these was the Sigma Chi tally-ho. This made a particularly fine appearance and was occupied by the following young men. Messrs Henry, Smith, Stanley, Henley, Simons, Annan, Kellogg, Jones, Thompson, Tilford, Barnett, Schall and Flintom, Messrs Bowersock, Adams and Kroh of Kansas City, Lyons and McVicar of Topeka, Clarke and Shockley of Leavenworth, Green of Lecompton, Cates and Laphaun of Chanute and Stanley of Wichita. Beside this was Donnelly's swell new hack, which was also occupied by several Sigma Chis and their girl friends.
The Kappas, Betas, Phi Psis and Phi Gams were seen in carriages elaborately decorated with university and fraternity colors.
The bleachers have never been considered a very fashionable place but this rule was reversed this afternoon for one of the gayest crowds present was the Theta and Pi Phi line party which occupied the center of the north bleachers. The girls wore a great many ribbons and carried pennants. Those composing the parth were Misses Frazier, Flintum, Pugh Constable, Sexton, Cross, Wagstaff, Smelser, Wheeler, Bar-teldes, Bulleine, Ayres, Spencer, Baker, T'Miller, Smith, Snow, Huey of Wes, Chester, Penn., Gardner, Allen, Parrot, Boughton, Zillah Smith, Leach, Northrup of Kansas City and Moore The Phi Dells also sat in a line on the bleachers. The men composing their party were Messrs Nicols of Topeka, Higgins, Smith, Sanford and Brooks of Kansas City, Freeland of Paola, Nimocks of Great Bend, Fietcher, Case Hazen Henry, Taylor, Murphy, Sayre, Crawford, Mathew, Jewett, Davis, Hudson and Landis.
The tacky party given last night by Miss Gertrude Hill was in honor of Miss Louise Moore and Miss Trickett of Kansas City. The affair was exceedingly informal and the tacky costumes of the guests were many of them as original as they were amusing. Old fashioned country dances, cards and a candy pill were the amusements of the evening. The refreshments were in keeping and consisted of baked beans, brownbread, coffee, doughnuts and pumpkin pie. Miss Hill's guests were Misses Trickett and Northrup of Kansas City, Moore, Andrews, Bullene, Taylor, Frederica Bullene, Ayres, Bess Ayres, Hutchinson, Leslie, Bangs, Stone, Hawk, Sexton, Spencer, Smith, Boughton, Allen and Leach; Messrs, Housh, Parent, Griggs, Woodward, Sayre, Means, Odaree, Robinson, Cochrane, Shaler, Walker, Garver, House, Wood, Williams, Stewart, Graham, Rodgers, Fietcher, Hutchings, Hamilton and Davies.
Hallowe'en parties were very num erous in Lawrence the first of the week. A small but exceedingly pleasant party of this sort was the one given by Miss Lillian Hinman. The usual Hallowe'en games were played. Miss Himan's guests were Misses Clarke, Ross, Rothbrock, Barnes, Lawton, Greissinger and Miller, Messrs Cary, Carter, Hamilton, Hass, Cooke and Dale.
On Monday afternoon Prof. Wilcox lectured before the Zodiac club of Lawrence. The lecture took place in the physics building and was illustrated by lantern slides.
Among the other carriages were those of Professor Smith, Professor Blackmar, Judge Norton, Haskell Institute, Judge

The first question presented by the chair was in regard to athletics.
The Sophomore class held a meeting Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock in Professor Miller's room. A large number of the class were present and more interest was manifested than in any of its previous meetings.
The University Book Store has the finest K. S. U. Stationery.
Prof. Naismith has requested that the various classes of the University should take a class interest in athletics as do the classes at all the other great educational institutions such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Landel Stanford, where the contests between Freshman and Sophomores, Sophomores and Seniors etc., are regular events. The request was received with a great deal of enthusiasm and all were desirous of matching their skill and strength with any of the other three classes. The president was instructed to appoint a committee of three who should manage the tennis, football, base ball, basket ball teams The committee appointed are Messrs. Whitman, Poorman and Wise.
The next subject discussed was class party. It was agreed that the first social function of the class this year should be an informal reception. It is to give the members of the class an opportunity to get acquainted and thus promote the feeling of fellowship in the class. It will be made an interesting event and so planned that everyone shall have a good time. Instead of appointing several small committees to manage the different parts of the work, as is customary, a new plan was adopted. The president will appoint a committee of eight to arrange for the party. The chairman of the committee will subdivide the large committee into smaller ones for decoration, entertainment, music, etc., the various sub-chairmen to be responsible to him for the work. The motion first made was for a permanent committee, but was amended to a temporary one and will officiate in the first social function only. No time for the event was named, but the sentiment of the members points to Friday evening, Nov 18, as the date. This will be followed during the year by both formal and informal parties. The class then adjourned.
The Law students are looking with much interest for the trial of the Kunkel case.
The report of the committee-on class colors was then called for. They presented Black and Orange as the colors for 1900. This is a very striking combination. It is at once very attractive and tasty and will compare very favorably with the colors of any of the other three classes. The committee presented a distinct shade of orange and insisted on not black and yellow but black and orange. The colors met with the hearty approval and the report was unanimously accepted. The class decided to wear the "Black and Orange" along with the "Crimson and Blue" at the Kansas-Nebraska game.
The Botany department has planned a great treat for its students. The teachers have carefully looked over the scientific magazine, and have kicked out the most interesting articles and passed them around to the various students to read and enjoy and then share their contents with the Biological club. So far no one in the class has been slighted, if there has been he has not yet been heard from. As far as has been learned the articles are very enjoyable and read "like a tale that is told." The are written in the breezy, spicy style so common to scientists and abound with pure simple dioms of their respective languages. Of course most of them are written in either French or German and a dictionary i necessary now and then to trace out the finer shades of meaning, yet some prefer to have a dictionary at hand even when they are reading such articles in their own mother tongue.
The students of the St. Joe Medical school yellied for the Varsity at the Ensworth game. There were a number of old K. U. students among them.

The Junior Laws held their election last Monday. Mr. Landers was elected president, W. H. Anderson vice president, Miss Garrison secretary, Miss Carey treasurer, and Miss Barnett sergeant at arms. There are only three ladies in the class, and the Juniors showed their gallantry by giving them all offices. The question of having a class poet and a class historian precipitated a heated discussion in which a lamentable ignorance of parliamentary procedure was exhibited by the chairman and every one else. During the confusion Uncle Jimmie, who had been trying to get in for sometime, succeeded in getting past the door keeper, and the question was dropped for that of Contracts.
At North college before the members of Snow Literary society, Mr. Jno. Merrill of the Fine Arts school, played two good selections of music. Mr. Rundel read a paper on "National Aid to Education." The paper gave a resume of the laws passed for establishing and building up our educational institutions, and some opinions as to the advisability of the nations giving such aid, Mr. Porter spoke extemporaneously on "Some troubles of the freshman upon entering K. U." Messrs Mills, Elliott, Welsh and Robbins and others discussed the question: Resolved, that the United States should own and control the Nicaragua Canal. Mr. Hogg then gave an excellent talk in his report as critic. He spoke of the general and special clubs now in existence and the work they are doing. He mentioned two reasons that persons had for organizing societies, first, the social, and second, the ethical. In literary societies the ethical is the main reason. By this is meant that the object of literary societies is self improvement. The criticism then gave some practical personal suggestions to those having participated in the program.
Mr. Landers, the president, was a member of the teachers' examining board of Crawford county, and is one of the best students in the class.
Prof. Holder has instituted a new custom in his class in Presidential Administrations. In their study this class has encountered several knotty points on which there is no satisfactory authority. These points have been assigned to different members and will be made the subject of original investigation. The results will probably be put on file for the use of future classes.
The department of European History will no longer include the course in Federal Government and French Revolution. This has been dropped out and in its place Professor Adams has put a course in History of Europe during the eighteenth century. This will be text book work with the exception of the French Revolution which will be given in lectures.
