Let the University student body give a surprise party some noon for the young man who carries his lunch up the hill in a large sized telescope valise. Abundant refreshment is sure to be provided.
Recipe for raising a "rough house."—Call several boys together and suggest going over to——"s room and raising a rough house. All start out—one or two giving an Indian war-heop to work up enthusiasm for the project. Arriving at the destination, tear down the door for it saves the useless formality of knocking. Immediately upon entering, if the occupant of the room does not seem to be fully aware of your presence, pull his chair out from under him, throw his books at him and knock over all his furniture. If your host offers any resistance throw him out without further ceremony. Pile everything up in the middle of the room and give a final yell take your leave first, or course, making sure that your victim is still in a dazed condition.—From Johnson's Encyclopedia.
In some casee whist seems to be a game of protracted interest which lasts even until breakfast time.
"Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." One of the professors in the school has the happy custom of greeting the students returning from their summer vacations with a long drawn out "How do you do, how do you do" and emphasizes it with a hearty handshake. At his boarding place the several boarders adopted his style. On being asked one day by a visitor if the greeting was quoted, the boarders very much frightened, declared it was not, whereupon the professor said, "Oh yes it, is it a favorite saying of another professor." And still they laugh at him.
Whom are you going to the dance with? asked one of three girls who were talking together in the Woman's league room. "With Mr. ___" "Why he asked me," and "me told," said the other girl, and the first girl is still meditating on the inconsistency of man.

One of the members of the American literature class is contending that Mrs. Rip Van Winkle was as shiftless as her husband for she might have made Rip's galligansins over for her children.
Avery, who plays the left end on the team, fumbled his umbrella in coming up the hill the other day. Perhaps it was an accident, or maybe it was second nature that he fell on it and yelled "down."
There is a girl in school here, who, it seems to us is a little inconsistent. Last year she was a "steady" who spent lavishly on her the substance received from his parental ancestor, and for educational purposes, laid awake of nights thinking of how he could best make this life for her one unbroken monotone of joyous song. At the breaking out of the Hespano-American war, being stirred by a patriotic impulse and love of country, he shouldered his gun and marched bravely out to war and hasn't been able to get back since. The girl has found another "steady" and is working him the same way. Instead of being in sack-cloth and ashes she wears the same enchanting smile. We knew it wouldn't go to go to war.

Growth of the Y. M.C.A
The University, Y. M. C. A. has been growing steadily since its foundation. Especially flattering is its growth this year. Young men are beginning to realize that this organization is a fine thing and ought to be pushed along. This year the association has been fortunate in receiving a great many new members and among them are many old students, which is very gratifying. The increased attendance at the Sunday afternoon meetings is good evidence of its growth. These meetings are interesting in that the speakers are always interesting. The association is planning to give a large reception next week in honor of the new members.

A Great Opportunity.
The extent to which the professions are crowded at the present day is very discouraging to even the persevering and energetic student. Few lines of work seem to offer very great inducements when thousands are struggling at the same time toward the same end. Yet there is always a place for the right man and the University now offers to some students opportunities such as no other school can offer and promises him fame in return for his labors. It is not generally known throughout the University how rich the institution is in material for the study of Paleo Botany. The science department possess five of the largest and most complete fossil collections on this side of the Atlantic. An eminent eastern paleontologist who came to K. U. recently, pronounced the collection of carbonifero to be without doubt the best in America. The collection of the upper cretaceous plants is with but one exception the most complete on the continent. Besides this there are exceptionally fine collections of tertiary plants.
Much of this material is entirely new to science and has never been roughly examined and so offers a most inviting field for original researches for advanced students. Professor Williston is anxious to have more advanced students of Botany take up the study of these collections or some of them for original work. This is especially true in the study of the carboniferous plants on which science, up to this time, is especially ignorant. All the literature bearing on the subject is either in the library or will be procured when first called for. The excellent facilities for all preparatory work in Botany is too well known to go into detail. With such opportunities opened up before him, with the excellent corps of teachers who will gladly do all in their power to encourage and help him, this course certainly offers a bright future for whosoever desires to pursue it. Now let the other great universities of America talk. Kansas university has scored another point, and invites the others to take their seats along the side line.

SNOW LITERARY.
The interesting part of the program on last Saturday was the debate. The question was: "Resolved that it would be to the best interests of the United States that the government should own and control the railroads." The speakers for the affirmative were C. J. Hineman and [no. Deolin, and for the negative were H. H. Tangman and W. H. Silvers. Much interest was taken in the general discussion which followed the debate proper, showing that the question was a live one of the day.
At the business meeting it was decided to make "parliamentary drill" a regular part of the program. It is proposed to outline the work in the RulesOfOrder and take a special part of parliamentary practice for every evening's study and practice. It is to be so arranged that every member shall receive some drill in presiding over a meeting. This will make it very beneficial to all who take a part. All students not doing literary work in another society are invited to come and take a part in the work of the society. Visitors are always welcome.
Students desiring picture frames, text books, or stationery will do well to visit the store of B. W. Henshaw, 917 Mass. street.
