CONGLOMERATE
"Oh, you call them non-fraternity men, do you," said the new and very important Beta to the lenient new Kappa. "We just call them barbs."
A barb girl casually remarked to a fraternity girl that another fraternity had succeeded in pledging the girl whom she and her sisters had been rushing to death. "Oh," she said, "we didn't want her anyway. I know we asked her and of course had to rush after that. Why, just think of it, we asked her to dinner and she ate her pie from her fingers.
Said one young lady to another at a dancing party: 'I hope that fellow over there is not a particular friend or relative of yours for I think he looks like a circus clown.' And then there was a sudden frost for he was the other girl's betrothed.
A freshman was heard inquiring where the chapel tickets were sold. The same innocent was worrying for fear one of the professors had noticed him fail to take a responsive reading and song book as he breathtably rushed into chapel one morning.
"Would you please be so kind as to tell me where I may file this petition?" asked a timid little girl of a haughty senior. I was an application for membership in the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. The Senior smiled and explained, then praised the ambition of the aspirant for college honors.
The professor was calling the roll in the first year German class. "Frulein Blank," he said. "Blank is my last name but you have not my first name correct." a voice answered from the far end of the room.
He was a senior Civil Engineer and she a Fine Arts student. They were talking of the merits of different colleges when she asked: "What do you think of William Jewell?" "I don't think I have the pleasure of knowing the gentleman," was his startling answer.
AMONG THE COLLEGES.

On last Saturday evening a number of young men paraded up and down Massachusetts streets attired in ridiculous costumes and acting very silly generally. They were just getting used to making fools of themselves.

This department has lately received several valuable additions in books, Razel's History of Mankind and The Cliff Dwellers of the Mesa Verde by Nordenskiold.
On Athletics.
The chancellor gave a very interesting talk in chapel Monday morning on the subject of athletics. He began by stating that it seemed rather strange that the subject of athletics should take the place of the regular morning exercises, but it was something that had been neglected in this country as well as in this University. He also pointed out that athletic nations were the leaders in the world, giving as an example Germany, which is athletic, and contrasting it with Spain which is not. Students in universities should and must have recreation and exercise and this is one of the most legitimate as well as the most profitable way of obtaining it. He urged a greater and more enthusiastic interest in athletics, but condemned anything on the order of professionalism, and in conclusion urged that in the election Tuesday, men should be chosen who would not tolerate or allow anything along this line.
A New Means of Support.
A large number of the students of the University are self supporting. For example, there is the book agent, the stereoscope view canvasser, and the other confidence men who operate in the rural districts during the summer months and attend school in the winter; there is the laundry agent, the paper carrier,and the man [who does "whatever he can;" there is also the club steward who doesn't work at all but from a long sanctioned custom is supported by the charity of others. But a new field is now opened to the ambitious youth of the land who long for an education but haven't the coin. A certain young man who entered school this fall brought with him the family cow and now dispenses spare Jersey milk to the people on his block. Here's to the Kansas cow! She not only supports the farmer's family,but she educates his children as well!
CHEMISTRY NOTES.
The Kansas Academy of Science will meet this year at Topeka on Thursday, Dec. 29. This is directly following the State Teachers meeting, and a large attendance is expected. Most of our scientific professors and some students attend these meetings which are of great interest, as numerous papers of importance are read.

E. P. Irwin has received an appointment as chemist at a sugar factory in Texas and left on Saturday for that state.
Several inquiries have been received at the University by Chancellor Snow in reference to what is known as the snapping or chick beetle. A special inquiry has just come from Salina. It is the larvae of this beetle which has destroyed so many corn and wheat fields in Krnas.
W. J. Rothrock has gone to Burnside, La as assistant to his brother, who is chemist at the sugar factory there.

Of all the silly imitations used by fraternities, the most silly is that of branding with fire, acids or iodine. How foolish the victim of such nonsense must feel; and there is scarce a doubt that the members of these organizations who are the perpetrators feel themselves guilty of having taken an undue advantage of the candidate.
Here It Is Again.
The latest evidence of this child's play is the case of a certain young lady who bears upon her forehead "where he who runs may read" three Greek letters caused from silver nitrate or nitric acid
Now she must attend classes bearing this symbol of love, hope and faith upon her forehead, an object of general comment and sympathy. How peculiar this fraternity must feel to see this young woman in the halls and class rooms parading this emblem of their own stupidity before the public.
AMUSEMENTS.
THINGS THEATRICAL.
Manager Bowersock of the theatre is to be congratulated on securing for Lawrence, October 12 and 13, Thurston's Musical Comedy company in such successful productions as the twentieth century edition of the polite hurrah comedy, "A Booming Town," with its irresistible attractions, also the Irish farce comedy, "Muldoon the Plonic." This is the first season that an attraction of this magnitude has played at popular prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents. On their opening night any lady will be admitted free if accompanied by one paid 80 cent ticket if purchased before 7 p. m.
the theatre going public of this city will no doubt welcome the twentieth century farcial success, "A Booming Town," which will positively appear Wednesday and Thursday, October 12 and 13, clad in its new attire, consisting of scenery, effects, etc., and presented by the original New York Casino cast. Notwithstanding the enormous expense attached to an attraction of this character, Manager Bowersock has had the prices reduced to 10, 20 and 30 cents.
