A NEW FRAT?
IT IS RUMORED THAT ONE WILL BE ORGANIZED.
Prominent Barb Girls Mentored as Members—The Entre Nous Whist Club May Ba Used as a Nucleus— The Report Denied.
It has been rumored during the past week that an effort is being made by some of the Barb girls to bring a new sorority to Kansas University. Some of those associated with the movement are said to be Misses Ida and Stella Case, Miss Radford, Miss Grover and Miss Cubine.
The report is denied, but it is known that some interested person has taken the pains to look up the pedigree of eligible girls and to make application for a charter for a chapter of Alpha Phi. In order to get a chapter here it is necessary to obtain recognition from the existing sororities, and this, together with the fact that the girls who would like to join have some natural timidity, has been a stumbling stone.
It is known that a certain young lady who was pledged to a fraternity at another school which she attended, has had an ambition to found a fraternity here. A short time before Christmas she was active in the formation of a Whist club known as the Entre Nous. The girls who thus associated themselves together have become very intimate, and are seen constantly together in little groups in the halls. They attended the Christmas concert in a body, and in the same way, the Merchant of Venice and the celebration of the Iowa game. In other ways they have shown a sisterly affection.
Among the members of the Entire Nous are Misses Hickey, Crawford, Cubine, Henrich, Case, Peck, Cochran, Grover and Piatt. Miss Ethel Hickey is president of the club.
"If there is such a move contemplated," said Miss Hickey, "I know nothing of it, and I should think the girls would have taken me into their confidence. I am a thorough Barb girl, have always been one, and would have nothing to do with the formation of a new fraternity."
Miss Hickey was asked this morning about the rumored change of the Entre Nous into a chapter of Alpha Phi. She was very emphatic in her denial of any such intentions.
"Would you join providing one were organized?"
"I certainly should not."
"Do you know of a new sorority being organized?"
"I have heard rumors, but do not believe them. I would leave the Entre Nous if I thought such a thing were contemplated."
"If they are thinking of such a thing, they are very foolish," said she. "I think all the talk has been created by the girls of our club being so thick together. All the girls I have talked to are very indignant about the rumor, and they all intend to go to the next barb party and dance with the barbiest boy they can find."
Miss Crawford, who is the Barb secretary of the Senior class, laughed at the idea of the girls attempting to get a charter from Alpha Phi.
"I know, however," she added, "that there are some Barb girls who would like to get into a fraternity and they may try to organize the Alpha Phi."
A largely attended meeting of the three young ladies' fraternities was held at Mrs. Bowersock's home last Saturday afternoon. The object of this meeting was to obtain an expression of opinion concerning the use of intoxicants at parties, and to discuss means of discouraging this use. The girls present expressed individually their disapproval of the practice, and their willingness to discourage it in every way possible. A resolution was passed pledging the girls to leave the next fraternity dance in a body at which the color of liquor should be detected on the breath of any young man present.

Other Notes of Interest from Snow Hall.
Special low prices on suits and overcoats at M. J. Skofstad s. $24 Mass. street.
Fine tobacco and cigars at Smith's News Depot.
Now that the early evenings have set in one of the inconveniences of Snow Hall is being felt extremely. Snow'Hall is the only building on the hill that is not fitted with electric lights and very frequently we cannot obtain sufficient light to carry on the work, especially is this so in the Journal club meetings, when light sufficient to illustrate the subject under discussion is generally lacking.
An exceptionally enthusiastic meeting of the Sigma Xi was held last Wednesday night with Prof. Barber, Mr. Beede and Prof. Palmer were initiated, and Prof. Barber gave a very interesting talk on "Immunity in Infectious Diseases."
At the meeting of the Journal Club Wednesday evening Prof. Stevens continued his review on' A Strasberger's View of Nuclein Division and Cryptoplasm Structure."
The Zoological department has submitted several new courses in zoology which have been adopted by the faculty:
Zoology I is a course in general zoology for all students and is preliminary to the other course. It will consist of lectures and laboratory work under Prof. Dyche.
Zoology III, Morphological zoology will consist of lectures and laboratory work under Prof. Dyche in the way of a comparative study of Types.
Zoology II, systematic and descriptive zoology and is a study of the general anatomy of species. This also will consist of lectures and laboratory work under Prof. Dyche.
Zoology IV. Histology or microscopic anatomy will consist of lectures and laboratory work under Prof. McClung
Zoology V. Cytology or cellular biology This also will be mainly lectures and laboratory work under the supervision of Mr McClung.
Zoology VI. Embryology. Laboratory work and lectures by Mr. McClung.
Zoology VII. Will consist of original work in courses II, III, IV, V, and VI and will be in charge of Profs. Dyche and McClung
Courses I, II and III will be undergraduate work; IV, V and VI can be taken by under-graduates but VIII will be entirely graduate work.
Now that the large aquaria are completed a number of smaller ones are being made. A nurseryman of Marion county, has sent into the entomological department the first instance of a scale insect on willow trees. This insect is similar to one that infests pine trees, and its technical name is Chronaspis Sullic-Nisrae.
Mr. McClung is engaged in getting the refractive index of a large number of ores and also in testing the different media for mounting preparation in order to find out such media as will show the preparation best on examination. He has examined about thirty-five so far.
The Grasshopper Bulletin published by the entomological department has been well received. The Kansas Farmer print ed it in full and it will appear in the Farm and Field of Denver, Colorado, at an early date.
The following is told of a junior law. He stood at a Lawrence bargain counter, nervous and perplexed. The clerk had given him half an hour of her time. She had pointed out the beauty of both the pin cushion and the hand mirror and had finally left him knitting his brow, undergoing a severe mental strain. With an irritable movement he left the store and went to the nearest alley with feverish haste. He looked about as if contemplating some crime. Then he quickly took a silver dollar from his pocket and turned it over and over in his hands behind his back. Suddenly he tossed it into the air and eagerly watched it come to rest at his feet. He paused but a moment, then picked up the dollar and with a determined air went straight way to the bargain counter and astonished the clerk whom he had so recently left by speaking in firm tones. "I will take the pin cushion.
He Took the Pin Cushion.
Women's League Reception
The Women's League will hold a reception to which they invite the faculty and all students of the university, young men and young women, at the chancellor's house on Saturday afternoon, Jan. 29th, from 3 until 6 o'clock.
PIPE ORGAN CONCERT.
THE FIRST EVER GIVEN IN UNIVERSITY CHAPEL.
It Was a Fitting Dedication of the Grand Pipe Organ -The Concert a Success in Every Way.
The first organ concert, which took place Friday night, was an event in the history of Kansas State University. The large audience was appreciative almost to enthusiasm.
The great electric organ is an addition to the chapel; its handsome work and the array of gilded pipes make an imposing ornament. That the mechanism is as handsome in its way as its exterior, was demonstrated Friday night, for the variety of tone, the many combinations and the easy manner of operating them, showed a perfection seldom found in an organ of its size, and gives the organist an unusual advantage. The long delay of the organ in reaching Lawrence and the time it has taken to put it up served to heighten anticipation and the well filled chapel testified to the interest taken by students and Lawrence people. The University has long needed a pipe organ, and artists may now be secured for the lecture and music courses who were not hitherto available.
The program, designed with a view of making it a souvenir, was certainly not a pleasant remembrance of the occasion. The classical, well arranged musical program which was rendered, deserved a more appropriate setting than the poor paper and printing with which it was coupled. As a program, the attempt was a success, but as a souvenir, it was a failure.
The manner of illustrating the different uses of the organ, as in concert music; with other solo instruments; in church music; in choral music; and with congregational singing showed advantageously the many ways the organ may be used.
In the first number, a heavy Bach composition, Prof. Penny not only showed his own skill, but the ease of operating the different stops and the advantage of the electric mechanism as well. That Prof. Penny ranks highly as a concert organist, is now a well established fact. His selections showed excellent taste and were particularly appropriate for the opening concert. That Bach should occupy a prominent place on the program of a high grade organ recital, goes without saying. He wrote some of the best and greatest organ music ever written and in many respects, he has never been equalled. The majority of his compositions are for the organ. The Tocatta and Fugue in Dorinor is very difficult and illustrates the great art of Bach as a composer of fugues.
The second number, the well known "Fantasie Triomphale," was well rendered. It was composed for the inaguration of the Chicago Auditorium organ, and it makes a fine concert number. The composer is Dubois; organist of the "Madeline" in Paris.
In the third number, a Liszt concerto, Prof. Preyer was accompanied by Miss Wilson and Prof. Penny, Prof. Preyer's playing needs no extended mention here, as his selections are always artistically rendered and his playing Friday night was but another proof of its excellence. It is the first time a Lawrence audience has had an opportunity of hearing one of the great concertos with the accompaniment of a pipe organ. This concerto is written in a sonata form modified so that it is something of a symphonic poem, and is beautiful as regards melody, the first requisite of a musical composition.
Mr. Stevens sang in his usual manner and was well received. His selection was a classic solo which requires musical ability and a good voice for a successful rendition. Its composer, Goundn, is a writer whose productions are among the best, and he has the gift of presenting a theme in a pleasing manner to all, which makes his compositions classic and popular.
Illustrating the organ in church music, Mr. Hopkins played a prelude by Van Der Bergaunt, a paraphase of the "Lorele" by Silcher, and a posthue by Merkel, an organist of high rank and at one time court  organist at Dresden. These

GENERAL GORDON COMING.
Every student in the University should hear General Gordon's great lecture upon "The Last Days of the Confederacy." This will be the last chance to hear this lecture, as General Gordon positively declares that this is his last lecture trip. General Gordon is one of the most famous of American platform speakers. He is fluent, ready in delivery, and possesses fine descriptive power. He is a native of Georgia, which state he at one time represented in the United States senate.
An Opportunity to Hear a Very Eloquent Speaker.
He is thoroughly familiar with the history of the confederacy, as well as with general American politics, so that his lecture is a veritable mine of information.
He is a scholar and a thinker, as well as an eloquent and well informed man. It is to be hoped that every student will avail himself of the chance to bear this polished speaker. Such a chance does not often occur. The admission to the lecture is 50 cents or for 75 cents a course ticket, admitting to General Gordon's lecture, and the three remaining entertainments of the lecture course may be secured. Do not forget the date. January 25 in the University Chapel.
Miss Georgia Brown will teach a term of ten lessons in dancing at Pythian hall beginning January 10 at 8 p.m. It is requested that pupils will make application at residence, 1217 Rhode Island street for admission to school.
