A DRAMATIC CLUB
It Will Study and Practic Plays of High Rank.
Now that the pipe organ is secured, Prof. Penny's uninerting energy is directed in another channel, and the University as usual is to be benefitted.
Wednesday evening he called a few young people together at the Club House and revealed his plan for a dramatic association. His idea is to get up a club, limited to twenty members, who will organize immediately, for the purpose of studying and practicing plays of high rank. After the club is gotten into running order, entertainments will be given for an invited public. Miss Brown has consented to train and assist the dramatic club, and, with Prof. Penny, Miss Brown, the Club House, and a warranted amount of enthusiasm, there is no reason why the enterprise should not prove all that is worthy of the name.
A name for the organization has not yet been agreed upon, but "The Mask" has very appropriately been suggested. Define it arrangements will be made at a future meeting, when the organization will be perfected and the future plans laid.
AMUSEMENTS.
The world renowned contralto Sopna Scalchi and her great company of operatic artists will appear here on Wednesday next, 20th inst., at the Bowersock Opera house. The name of Scalchi is known the world over and it is conceded on all sides that she is without a rival in the operatic field to-day. Scalchi will appear in a regular concert programme and will give a complete performance of the fourth act (tower and prison scenes) of Verdi's grand opera, II "Trovatore," in costumes, with scenery, paraphernalia, etc. It will be an event to hear Scalchi in the role of the old Gypsy Azucena, for this is one of her most famous characters. Associated with Scalchi is Mlle. Toulinguet said to be one of the greatest dramatic sopranos in the world. Mlle. Toulinguet was the principal soprano of the Imperial Opera Co. and made a tremendous hit in Europe and in New York last season. The other members of the company are Mlle Marie Du Bedat, mezzo soprano, late of the Royal Carl RosaCo : Mr. Tom McQueen, tenor; Sig. Alberti, baritone and Sig. Gallia, pianist and accompanist.
To Protect the Song·Bird.
A branch of the Audubon society was established among the students of the university last week. This society was organized a few years ago in New York State for the prevention of the wholesale and wanton slaughter of our song-birds for decoration purposes. It has now spread into most of the important states of the Union. In the eastern states it numbers among its members and officers the most prominent people in all walks of life and has been such a potent influence as to obtain the passage of a statute in Massachusetts against the wearing of bird feathers. In the west it has also accomplished much. Its aims are being taken up by many of the prominent society women with such good effect that, according to the Times-Herald, the sale of a song-bird feathers has practically ceased in Chicago among the fashionable milliners, and such establishments as Marshall Field's have declared themselves entirely opposed to the traffic. The society has strong and vigorous branches in many of our colleges and there is no reason why our own students should be behind in this good cause—Daily Cardinal, U. of W.
The Dramatic club met at the Fine Arts club house on Mt. Oread Wednesday evening.
CORRESPONDENCE.
or which of the "Frats" will take the stigma, the initiative, of continuing this practice? What "Frat" man worthy the name will be first to advise his brothers to violate this unwritten law?
Continued from page 2.
Which of the "Frats" desires to be advertised to the state as having had the courage of the "three" and "standing up for their convictions," turn on the wine at their gatherings? I agree with the WEEKLY that the "after clap" of a great moral movement is pretty apt to indicate what kind of a movement it is. "and I predict that the 'after clap' of this movement will be heard all over Kansas if the request of the ladies are not complied with, and in this case, the stroke of the 'after clap' will crush any and every fraternity that openly permits liquor at any of its so called public functions.

Kansas College Press Association
The sixth annual convention of the Kansas College Press Association which will be held in the Eldridge House parlors beginning at 2 p.m. m. on the 25th of February, promises to be the most entertaining and instructive yet held The delegates will be favored by a short address from Col Learnard of the Lawrence Journal, after which representatives from the various papers in the association will discuss the program as given below.

Business session.
The roar which has been coming from the chapel every afternoon and which has aroused so much curiosity was only the orators practicing how to give expression to their pent up feelings.

A Furious Battle Wag-d on the University Campus.
GREEK MEETS GREEK.
One of the greatest struggles for class supremacy ever witnessed on Mount Oread occurred Tuesday afternoon. There has always existed a sort of rivalry between the Engineering and Pharmacy schools and on Tuesday affairs reached a climax when the latter challenged the former to a snow ball combat
The troops collected and took their places with lightning rapidity. The struggle was fast and fierce from start to finish. The air was thick with flying snow balls and the bellows of the wounded reminded one of the commanding of Fort Sumpter.
At first the pharmics, on account of superior numbers gradually forced the knights of the T square backwards and had it not been for the timely arrival of reinforcements they would have been completely routed.
With the opposing sides about equal the fight became fiercer than ever. Back and forth they struggled as if swayed by a mighty wind. There was always a confused mixture of arms and flying hats to be seen. Occasionally some student would appear upon the outskirts of the fray, wandering about in a dazed condition, but he went back immediately.
It is doubtful how long the struggle would have continued thus, but a detachment of engineers who had been collected at the shop, attacked the pharmacies from the rear and soon put them to route
When the engineers were exulting over their victory, and thought the world was theirs, in came Superintendent White with a bill of $1.05 for broken window glass.
FINE ARTS NOTES.
Prof. Clark has secured Fraulein Antonie Stolle of Boston for a stereoptical art lecture at Music hall, Jan. 27th. The lecture will be one of the best of its kind to be heard in this country as Fraulein Stolle has been several years abroad preparing her set of reproductions of the most famous pictures in foreign art galleries. The original colors are faithfully copied and her collection is considered one of the most perfect ever made. This attraction will be on the Fine Arts course.
Prof. Clark is very much encouraged in the excellent work of the seniors.
Mr. Clendenning has been heard from at Sabine Pass, Texas. The art class is looking forward to sketches of the country which will doubtless interest Mr. Clendenning.
Hans Loeffler, formerly of Munich, Bavaria, has joined the painting glass.
What about that Euterpe entertainment?
One of the great advantages of studying in the studio at Music Hall, is the entertainment furnished by Prof. Preyer's pupils in the room below. It is never difficult to distinguish Prof. Preyer's touch, but question often arises as to whether the pupil is a Senior or a Freshman. The members of the art class are becoming expert music critics.
The combined choruses have begun to practice in University Chapel. The second organ concert promises to be more generally pleasing than the first one. The program is made up entirely of popular classics, which, perhaps, will not interest music students as much but will be liked better by the general public. The large chorus will be especially attractive in the Wagner numbers, which have been chosen with a view to their popularity and are the most beautiful selections of Wagnerian music; such as the song of the Evening Star, Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, Pilgrim's Chorus and Grand March from Tannhäuser. Prof. Farrell's solos will also be a great attraction as he will be here in time for the concert.
