LAWRENCE, KAN., OCT. 8, 1898.
The neatest exchange we receive is the "Round Table" published at Beloit, Wisconsin.
Despite the roasts which the University band receives at the hands of state papers, it will exist and will be a success. All it now needs is some recognition by the faculty.
Tom McNeal in Topeka Mall and Breez: The horror writers who have been writing war stories and telling about camp conditions will now turn their attention to football.
There were about 150 athletic tickets sold before October 1st. Such a small sale is very disheartening to those who participate in athletics and reflects little credit on the student body.
The new engineering shops will be completed soon. When they are finished Kansas university will offer the best opportunities for the study of civil and electrical engineering of any school in the west.
The best game of the season will be played on McCook field October 15, between Ames, of Iowa, and K. U. Every student should be present and give encouragement to the boys. Wear your ribbons and yell.
--the brow of each player on the 'Varsity team, and there was an angry gleam in each eye, that boded no good to the Medios.
Too high praise cannot be given Buzzi for his work on the team at Kansas City last Wednesday. He played a splendid game throughout and when the time came, made a remarkable touchdown, which won the game for K. U. Wednesday was the first day he ever played the position of half back
Several old K. U. students are holding good positions on Kansas City papers. Walter Sanford is police court reporter for the Star; Hillard Johnson hold the same position on the Journal; F. L. Shellabarger is sporting editor for the Journal and Miss Menet is society edl or on the Journal. Kansas City people seem to know where to go for talent,
The members of the team came back from Kansas City in a terrible condition, and the next evening when they were called out on the field they refused or were unable to go. Coach Woodruff with his usual hastiness severely criticised the boys and some of them left the training quarters. The affair will probably be satisfactorily arranged. The boys played like heroes at Kansas City but Coach Woodruff with his desire for a winning team forgot the cost and hence the trouble.
The Medics at Kansas City put up an article of football last Wednesday that will live in the memory of those who saw it for many years. There never was a driiter game of football played. The Medics slugged and kicked continually. They wryled on every occasion. Once they trapped Avery when he was to take the ball, and they frequently held our men. When objections were raised the referees refused to act. On the side of the University there were no actions to regret. Our boys went at it with a quiet determination, received blows and gave none in return, and won. Yet when the game was over an angry flush mantled
The Baker Orange is inquiring whether the "other" college papers are still asleep. We find them very much awake.
SOCIETY.
University society seems to have settled down into the old ruts in which it has glided so smoothly for so many winters. The football season is on, the Woman's league opened its series of receptions, and the usual round of card parties and hops enliven the end of each week. Altogether our social machine is well oiled and gives promise of running without interruption throughout the season. The carnival festivities in Kansas City took a great many out of town during the week, but this did not interfere with the usual Friday and Saturday night gaieties of which one of the pleasantest was the dance given last night in Frazer hall by the Independents. The The music was by Saunders' orchestra, and the evening was thoroughly enjoyed by those present.
The most important event in fraternity circles this week is the Phi Delt hop given tonight in their new quarters in Journal hall. This will usher in a series of parties which this fraternity will give during the winter. Among the guests this evening will be Misses Smith, Pugh, Parker, Hutchinson, Lee, Spaulding, Leslie, Sayre, Dowsock, Wagstaff, Hill, Taylor and Spencer, Messrs Hamilton, House, Smith, House, Ide, Henley, Henrv and Devereux.

When interviewed by a WEEKLY reporter today, Mr. P. S. Elliott, who is general manager of the K. U. lecture course, said:
Manager Elliott Talks
"Yes, we are going to have a lecture course at the University this winter and it is going to be a good one too. At a recent meeting of the committee, consisting of Chancellor Snow, Prof. Blackmar, R. K Moody and myself, it was decided to begin pushing the sale of tickets at once. We will have eight numbers in the course consisting of musical entertainments, lectures, impersonations, etc., and the entire course will only cost $2.
It's our aim to make this a popular lecture course, the net receipts of which will go to the pipe organ fund. This in debtedness must be met in some way, and we know of no better way to meet it than to get up a course of entertainments and give the students of the University and the people of Lawrence a chance to show their loyalty.
The people of Lawrence have shown their loyalty to the University on more than one occasion, and we feel sure that they will do so in this case. And it goes without saying that every student of the institution should show a loyal spirit by furthering the intitution in every way possible.
This is a worthy cause, and we shall
live the people a first class lecture course
and we feel sure that we will receive
their hearty support."
Analyzing for Poison.
When it is surmized that some person in the state came to his death from poisoning, the stomach is sent to the University and analyzed by Professor Sayre and his assistants.
The stomach of Mrs. Kunkel, a Law rence woman, who died recently, was analyzed and unmistakable traces o arsenic were found.

Mr. and Mrs Williamson are each known among a large circle of friends, both in and out of the University. Mr. Williamson was graduated from the engineering school in 1890, is a successful civil engineer in Kansas City, and manages a prosperous farm at Edwardsville. Mrs Williamson is known for excellent scholarship in the University, and in social and church circles for her charms of personality and earnestness of purpose. Her many friends will rejoice less in her happiness only because of their regret at losing her from among them.

SOUVENIR CHINA. Last January.
THE UNIVERSITY BOOK STORE
Placed an order for souvenir china, with a firm in Aus. tra. These goods consist of plates, cups and saucers and saddles, boxed dishes, boxes, boxed boxes, olive and pie dish dishes, asa and pen trays, comb and brush or toilet trays, tiles, candle holders, decorative panels, Hassell Institute and Windmill.

It is only whim, not chance, that they are always up to date in all things belonging to a first class book and art store.
Willis Folks Gets the Place.
The many friends of Willis K. Folks in this city and county will be glad to learn of his good fortune in having been elected to the important office of secretary, treasurer and purchasing agent of the state university, at a salary of $1,350 a year, by the regents at their meeting at Lawrence last Saturday. It is stated that there were forty-six applicants for the place and the board spent an entire day trying to reach a decision, the three republican members supporting one man and the three populists another, Chancellor Snow declining to vote. Finally Mr. Folks' name was presented by Regent J. W. Forney, and he received the votes of the three republican members besides that of William Rogers, populist, and was declared elected.
Mr. Folks now resides near Lawrence on a fruit farm about two miles west of town, to which he removed from Wellington last spring. Mr. Folks' financial circumstances are such that the salary given the office will be no special attraction to him, but he will prove a splendid selection for the position. Wellington people who have known Mr. Folks these many years hold his business abilities in high esteem, and are satisfied that the regents chose more wisely than they knew. He will handle the finances of the university with excellent judgment, and if new and more up-to-date methods are needed anywhere along he line Mr. Folks will be very apt to introduce them. The papers in speaking of his politics class Mr. Folks as a republican, which is a mistake. His party affiliations of late years have been with the probitionists and populists, though he was always liberal enough to vote for the best men for local offices without regard to the ticket they were on.—Wellington Monitor Press.

Sophomore Class Election.
The Sophomores hold their class election September 30 in Prof. Millers's room. The candidates named in the Barb caucus were all elected without opposition. No Frat candidates being placed before the class. H.H. Tangeman was unanimously elected president; Mr. E. D. Collins, Miss Lillian Barth and Blaine Moore were elected vice president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. A committee of three composed of Renn, Stafford, Scharard was appointed to select class colors. A committee of one was appointed to receive suggestions from members of the class concerning a class well. The meeting was then adjourned subject to the call of the president. With its strong corps of officers the Sophomore class certainly begins the year under favorable auspices. It is to be hoped that the general good feeling which prevailed during its first meeting will continue through the career of the class of 1902.
In response to a bulletin, a mass meeting of students was held last Monday evening in the court house for the purpose of organizing a K. U. Republican club. The time of the meeting not being generally known the attendance was not what it otherwise would have been. The meeting was called to order by Tom Harley, chairman of the Douglas county central committee and a temporary organization was effected. W. R. Smith was elected chairman and C. N. Belcher, secretary. It was decided to meet Monday evening, Oct. 10, to form a permanent organization. During the past two weeks papers, have been circulated among the students to obtain the signatures of those interested in the movement. The number of signers gives the assurance of a very large club and shows the republican strength to be formidable.
K.U. Republican Club.
Mr. William Stanley of Chapman, Kan., was the guest of Miss Mae Sight the latter part of last week. Mr. Stanley came for the purpose of arranging a game between the Dickinson county high school football team and the Scrubs. He reports that the D.C. H. S. team is especially strong this year. For several years past they have held the championship of central Kansas, and are confident they can make the scrubs tight hard for their laurels.
