SOCIETY
One of the greatest social events of the season was the Barb dance held at Pythian hall last Friday night. About fifty couples were present. The music was furnished by Buch's orchestra with Curtis Osborne at the piano.
THE BARB DANCE.
These dances have been steadily gaining popularity, until there is now not a ball in town large enough to accommodate all who would like to go. The management of these parties is to be complimented for the entertainment which is always given.
PHI PSIS ENTERTAIN.
On Friday night, February 4, the young men of the Phi Kappa Spi fraternity entertained about one hundred guests with a dancing party. Pythian hall lacked nothing which furnishings and flowers could add, and the effect was heightened by the number of fresh, dainty new gowns which made their first appearance on this happy occasion. The intrance was hung with festoons of evergreens surmounted by a cluster of palms suspended from above and the windows were massed with foliage plants and palms' On the north side of the room a fine effect was gained by massing palms and lillies and similarly in the east end was placed a bank of gorgeous red geraniums The doors were all hung with portiers and in all the available nooks and corners were divans covered with Bagdads and piled with sofa pillows Music was furnished by Zimmerschied's orchestra of Kansas City, and dancing began at 9 o'clock. The programs were an innovation, being small and square, adorned with a Phi Psi pin in velief. Under arch of evergreen surrounded by palms a colored servitor dispensed ice water to the dancers.
The balcony was used as a dining room, and here throughout the evening dainty refreshments were served, consisting of ices, sandwiches and coffee.
Among the guests were many out of town people, some of them old students of the University; whose presence added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion
Last Saturday evening some of the members of the Utopia club entertained at the home of Prof. Olin in honor of Miss Margaret Northrup who is visiting her brother Fred. Among the many pleasant features of the evening was the guessing of names to fit each of the following requirements.
The Junior promenade will be given April 22d.
Miss Martha White, of Junction City, came up for the Phi Psi party, and is the guest of Miss Nettie Manley. Miss White will be well remembered as a former student, and one of the most popular girls who ever attended the University. She is a member of Pi Beta Phi fraternity.
Miss Laura Poebler, who has been visiting in Iowa, is expected home next week. She will re-enter school immediately on her return.
Miss Helen Stutliff entertained a few friends very pleasantly last week with a chaining dish party. The guests were Prof, and Mrs. Franklin, Prof, and Mrs. Stevens, Prof, and Mrs. Bartow, Mr, and Mrs. Killworth, Miss Nell Blakey, the Misses Snow, Mr. William H. Brown and Mr. McPherson.
Misses Josephine Shellbarbarger, Gertrude Boughton, Tatie Saylor and O'Keefe issued very unique invitations for their card party given at Miss Boughton's February 4th. The invitation was enclosed in a black envelope, tied with purple ribbon.
On Saturday afternoon of last week the Women's league entertained at Mrs. Snow's with one of the receptions which have become a permanent feature of the social life of the University. A very pleasant innovation was the presence of many of the faculty and young men of the University at what has heretofore been strictly a feminine function.
The so called "Calcium" lately discovered at Waverly Kansas is being examined by the chemical department.
Compulsory Chapel Attendance.
Prof. Hopkins has adopted a novel scheme for compelling his English composition students to attend chapel. The hours of the recitation are from 8 to 10, and the professor maintains that in the intervening time the students are subject to his wishes. He orders the class, ninety-seven in all, to go chapel, and they go. This body of students, together with the few stragglers who regularly attend, makes a very presentable chapel attendance. This arbitrary ruling should lead to christening its instigator "Czar Hopkins."
Prof. Blake has been quite ill but has recovered sufficiently to be able to meet his classes
J. H. Wallace of Ft. Wayne, Ind., was a visitor at the University Wednesday. The K. U. Special.
ENGINEERS PROTEST.
The K. U. Special.
The Senior Engineers consider it quite an imposition to be compelled to take Advanced English Composition with the art students. The reasons are two fold Firstly, it reminds them too strongly of the Freshman days when they mingled with the art students. For two hours three times a week there is nothing to distinguish them from the 'arts' which is lamentable indeed. Secondly, it seems unjust to have the same work expected from them who have had no work in the English department since the freshman year, as is expected from the art students who have had the opportunity for much preparation all through their course. It seems as though a class might be organized of engineers alone and thus put all on an equal footing.

At chapel one day last week the students were advised to seek soul culture, and at the end of the remarks were informed that they could get it for ten cents a culture by attending the Wednesday afternoon recitals.
The question that is agitating the learned minds of the Senior Engineers about this time is that of their professional theses. Most of the Seniors have chosen the subjects for their papers and will commence work at once. The theses are designed to form the connecting link between the student work and professional practice.
The day for electrical seminary has not yet been decided upon but will be announced next week. All students and professors interested in electrical matters lose a rare opportunity of learning much about practical electricity by staying away from the meetings. From one to three carefully prepared papers are read at every meeting on subjects chosen to instruct as well as please those present and are made as practical as possible.
During the last two weeks of the term just closed the senior class in thermo dynamics of the steam engine enjoyed a very interesting series of talks by Prof Ward on valve setting and how to set up engines and boilers. The talks were very instructive as well as very interesting and impressed the class with the idea that Prof Ward knows a "thing or two" about steam engines. He has seen and done much practical work in this line and was there fore pre-eminently prepared to instruct the students in something not learned from text books.
