NO ACTION.
AT THE MEETING OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS YESTERDAY.
Office of Secretary and Treasurer and Brownell's Vacancy are to be Filled at this Session
At the meeting of the Board of Regents yesterday, no action was taken toward filling the office of Secretary and Treasurer, made vacant by the resignation of Mr. R. K. Moody and the position of instructor in the Law school, made vacant by the resignation of Mr. W. B. Brownell.
The meeting was continued until today when these positions will probably be filled.
Freshman Politics.
The Freshmen, emulating the example of the their elders, the seniors, are taking a lively interest in politics this year. At the Barb caucus Tuesday three candidates for president appeared. Little and Graves of Olathe, and Pierson of Frankfort. All three of the candidates had been pulling wires all day and each one went into the caucus confident that he had things "fixed." After the meeting was organized a motion that a plurality vote should elect was passed. As a result of the first ballot, Little received 30 votes, Graves 22, and Pierson 20, whereupon the chairman declared Little the nominee. Mr. Gilliray, however, arose and informed the chairman that in order to receive a plurality a candidate must receive more than half of the votes cast. The chairman said he recollected that such was the case, and ordered another ballot which was taken, with the following result: Little 33, Garves 19, Pierson 10. Graves and Pierson then tried to make a deal, but each thought it was the duty of the other to resign, and no argument was reached. On the next ballot Little received a majority and was made the nominee. It was soon discovered that Little is an engineer, however, so the Arts held another caucus Thursday and chose W. B. Wrenn as their candidate.
The work on Fowler hall is being pushed as rapidly as possible. About thirty men are engaged in the construction of the building. The walls of the first story are completed and the work on the second story is progressing very fast.
FOWLER HALL NOTES
The large iron smoke stack has been erected and the large boilers are being placed in position.
The roof of the room at the extreme west end is nearing completion.
It is not very generally known that the hall is only twenty-four feet shorter than Fresier hall, and has floor space of about 4,000 square feet.
The building will be the means of attracting more students to the engineering department than heretofore, on account of the facilities for doing a high grade of work.
The view from the south window of the hall will be one of the finest from any part of the University campus.
Picture framing is made a specialty at Henshaws. A full line of text bocks and a large stock of stationery constantly on hand.
The new metal working machines will arrive wi.ihin two weeks and will have to be stored.

SNOW LITERARY.
As announced the members of the Snow Literary society with many of their friends met in North college on last Saturday evening and listened to the first program of the year. President Baungartner welcomed all visitors and members after which Miss Ruth Whitman gave an interesting reading in a southern dialect. Mr. E. A. Scholer in an essay gave a "Freshman's First Impressions of K. U." In the debate which followed, B. W. Welch and V. D. Craig maintained that "It would not be conducive to American interests to annex the Philippines." K H. Logan and A Randall denied their arguments successfully. Mrs. Prof. Smith then gave a reading. She recites in an interesting and entertaining manner and all wished they could hear her again. Chancellor Snow then told some reminiscences of literaries in north college and gave the benefits to be derived from a literary society.
The program having ended, the society thanked Chan Snow and Mrs. Prof. Smith for their encouraging presence and all were invited to "Come again." A short business meeting was held in which the constitution was amended and other matters discussed. We would say all you who wish to do good active literary work: "Come and join us."
The Maeque.
ONE OF EM.
Repeatedly questions have asked such as: What is the Masque? Who is eligible to membership in the Masque? Perhaps an explanation of the aims and purposes of the Masque will be of interest to the readers of the Weekly.
The Masque is a dramatic club, the members of which not only take part in plays given under the effective management of Miss Georgia Brown, but also take part in the weekly programs. These programs consist in recitations and talks on dramatic art.
Any student or professor in the university who is interested and shows ability in such work may become a member after having been so selected by the club.
It is the purpose of the club this year to have two or more plays in progress all the time, to be given publicly or privately at the discretion of the club.
At present the club is working on Sunset, a pretty little drama by Jerome K. Jerome, and School for Scandal.
The sound of "college songs and college merriment" will be heard no more in the land. "The society event of the season" will be taken from the boards, and many a Kansas maiden will be so disappointed, for twenty-two musicians—count the m—twenty-two—will not tour the state as they have in former years. The sandwich and coffee men of the state will be sorry, and so will the man who rents dress suits and patent leather shoes. Will White will no doubt be sorry, for how he does enjoy roasting anything connected with the University! The boys themselves are sorry, everybody is sorry. But the Chancellor says they can't go, and that's all there is to it anyway, so there!
Senior Law Election.
CONTRIBUTED
The senior law class had a lively election Monday at 11 o'clock.
The WEEKLY was in error last week when it stated that Blockberger had been elected president. On the first ballot he was chosen, but when a re-count of the votes was called for, it was found that the ballots had been destroyed and the election was declared void by the president.
The following officers were also elected Vice president, Rogers; secretary, Carter treasurer, Mrs. Hyatt, sergeant at arms, Sample.
At first the candidates were Blockberger, Butler and Davis, but after the first election, Butler and Davis threw their support to Decker. Blockberger was supported by the fraternities and Decker by the barbs.
Monday the election resulted in favor of Perl Decker.
The University Band.
Through the efforts of Curtis Osborne, we are at last to have a University band. At least thirty men have signed for different instruments and among them are two men from the Indian school. The meeting for organization was held at Music hall last evening.
Fred Speak went to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he will attend school this year.
K. U. VS. HASKELL.
WON BY THE VARSITY TEAM, BY
A SCORE OF 15 TOO.
The Most Promising Candidates for
Places on the Team.
The 'Varsity played a practice game last Saturday afternoon with the Haskell Indinas.
The Indians put up a good game but the Varsity beat them owing to the superior weight.
The game developed the weak points in our team. Although the Indians did not score they succeeded in breaking through our line at will.
There was good individual work on the Varsity but the interference was poor and the broken up repeatedly by the Indians
Buzzi did the best offensive work, making two of the three touchdowns.
Hess showed up well and whenever given the ball made good gains.
Avery, Owen and Simpson did good defensive work.
On the Indian team the ends played a splendid game and no gains could be made around them.
The Indians had the advantage of training for they have been under the care of coach Walker since about September 15. course dates are:
VOL. VII. NO. 3.
The following was the line up for the 'Varsity': Wilcox, center; Mosse and Tipton, guards; Avery and Eschelle, tackles; Buzzii and Simpson, ends; Owen, quarter; Hess and Moulton, halves, and Silvers full-back.
The practice game Tuesday evening was very interesting. The Scrubs scored on the "Varsity, which is quite unusual. Tucker made the touch down for the "Scrubs" and otherwise played a splendid game.
The most promising candidates for the team ars as follows.
Wilcoo: of Concordia who is beavy and plays a steady game will play center.
Mosse will hold his old position as right guard.
"Short" Hamill has reentered school will probably play left guard. In all the practices it has appeared impossible to make any gains through him.
Avery will play right tackle. He plays the same game that he did last year and consequently needs no comment.
It is doubtful whether Tipton or Escelle will play left tockle. Both are heavy and good men.
For ends there are Simpson and Buzzi, both splendid at tackling and defensive work. Both played on the scrub team last year.
Hess would have played right half, but owing to the unfortunate accident of Thursday evening, in which his arm was dislocated, his place will have to be filled by some one else, for a time at least, perhaps by Blockberger.
Tucker will play left half. He is very swift, steady and fearless. He has a faculty of being where the ball is, when the opposing side has it.
Owen, who plays a good snapping game, will hold the position of quarter-back. He kicks well, is good at tackling, and plays an all around good game.
Silver will play full full-back. He is heavy, swift, and good at bucking the line and follows his interference well.
That the men named will compose the team is only conjecture. They have shown up to the best advantage thus far, however should better men appear they will obtain places.
Physical Culture Drill.
Last year a petition was circulated and signed by a large number of students, asking for an army officer, who would give the students military drill in the place of the regular physical culture. We have not obtained the officer, but Professor Naismith is taking the boys through a course of military training. There are about eighty-four members in the class, almost enough to form a whole company. The practice which Professor Naismith is giving is in marching.
About 600 bound volumes of public documents have been received at the library this week. These books were obtained in order to make up the complete set of public documents.
The finest quality of students' supplies in toilet articles to be found in the city at DICK BROS',
The Leading Drugsals of Lawrence.
AMONG OTHER COLLEGES.
The 1900 class of California, after much hesitation has finally decided to continue the publication of the "Blue and Gold."
The Brookfield College Record is composed of a number of clip pings carefully collected by the faculty.
Preparations are being made by Nebraska University for the Freshman—Sophomore field meet.
Dr. Ashhead Shaefer, president of Iowa University who died last week, will be succeeded by Prof. A. N. Currier, dean of the collegiate faculty.
A mass meeting was held at Iowa University for the purpose of raising some money for the athletic association.
Because the freshman class in the University of California was defeated in a ball game by the sophomores, they resorted to a cane rush and tied fifty members of the sophomore class.
at the Minnesota University the freshmen made their annual cane rush this week. The rush resulted in a number of bruises and a tie. As the Minnesota Ariel puts it, "the 'Naughty ones' and the 'Naughty-to-ones' broke even."
The Greek Department.
The Greek department received this week a valuable addition to the Classical Museum, which is being re-papered and re-arranged. The new acquisition is a fac-simile of the north frieze of the Parthenon and represents part of the cavalry in the Parthen娜 procession. The first part of the frieze received is about 52 feet long, and represents the longest portion of of the original Parthenon frieze, now preserved intact. The copy received here is the work of an Italian, Caproni, who's now doing work in Boston.
Professor Wilcox has made some valuable new additions to his Greek library. The most important of his late acquisitions is a face-simile of the Papyrus manuscripts containing a large number of the productions of the lyric poet Bacchylides. These manuscripts came to light about a year ago and caused great joy to Greek scholars all over the world, for only a few fragments of the poems of Bacchylides were known at that time. The new manuscripts reveal hitherto unknown beauties of the poet Bacchylides, for his work in ancient times was considered to be nearly equal to that of Pindar and of the same general style. These poems are pretier and more graceful than Pindar's.
Pindar might be compared to Brown-
ing because he is abrupt and hard to
understand. Bacchylides might be better
compared to Shelley or Tennison.
Another book of value received lately is called "The White Athenian Vases." It is a series of pictures of Athenian vases, reproduced from those in the British Museum and reproduced by means of the cyclograph, an apparatus invented by Mr. H. H. Smith of the Museum.
The cyclograph is some sort of an instrument which moves around the vase and gets a photograph of all sides, making a single flat surface picture all sides of the vase. The drawings of these vases are very light and graceful.
A reproduction of designs for the wall paintings of ancient Greek landscapes in the new Albertinum Museum, at Dresden, is another late acquisition. The designs were drawn by Frederick Preller.
The. University Book store is showing a fine line of Austrian china, decorated with the University buildings, Haskell and the Old Windmill. In another column they describe this line, and students should examine the goods to appreciate what excellent souvenirs they will make. Read the ad.
