BETA THETA PL.
The gentlemen of Beta Theta Pi entertained their friends last Friday evening at their parlors in the Opera House Block. A merry company assembled early in the evening and very pleasantly passed the time until the "wee small hours." Dancing and card playing were the chief amusements. During the evening an elegant supper was served on the Opera House stage, by the ladies of the Unitarian church. The menu cards were something novel and unique. They were in the form of folders ornamented with etchings designed by Mr. E. E. Stimpson. On the fourth page appeared the name and chapter of the fraternity with the date, and on the reverse cover the traditional Beta "dorg" roasted and ready for eating.

B. J. Dalton, our recent graduate in civil engineering from the State University left home on Saturday night for Ft. Worth, Texas. He goes there with two good situations open for his acceptance, one in railway employ and the other in the service of this city in pulling down its sewer system, in which capacity he worked in Lawrence last summer. We shall expect to hear of him making a decided success. Southern Kansas Tribune.
Prof. Blake's lecture before the Unity Club Monday evening was a great success. There are no more pleasant talkers in the University than Prof. Blake. His subject, "The Nature of Electricity" is one with which he is thoroughly familiar, and interest was added by many fine experiments. The object of the lecture was to show that electricity is not life but an inanimate force and its effects simply mechanical.
The following is from the West-minister Review, published at West-minister College, Fulton Mo. The article is too long to give entire, but the following extracts are interesting. We are sorry to see an otherwise well written article marred by the incorrect spelling of such a word as "clique:"
"The Literary Societies of the State University are having a hard time by reason of continual broils between the fraternity and non fraternity elements, and it is predicted by some that one of these societies will be broken up as the result. We are sorry in need to hear this, for all contemptible things, we believe clicks in a Literary Society are the most contemptible, clicks composed of either element, fraternity or non-fraternity, for both are equally beinous. We condemn both sides in the case, though one may be more guilty than the other. In saying this we take it for granted that fraternities in general have a worsher object than the advancement of their members by schemes and clicks. We would also censure the action of those boys who accuse the "frats" of clicking and scheming when they themselves are continually doing the same things. Away with such actions. We do not mean here to condemn college fraternities, for to say anything either for or against these organizations is foreign to the policy of the Review, but we do condemn clicks, let them be fraternity or non fraternity and while the Literary Societies of Westminster are free from such things, let us each honestly endeavor to keep them so. Let every man stand on his own merits in our Literary Societies; and let both fraternity and non fraternity profit by the mistakes of our neighbors."
Vol. 1. No. 1. of the Wesleyan Advance, from Kansas Wesleyan University, comes to our hands. The Advance is the result of a combination of the Wesleyan Advocate and the Lance, and is an improvement over both We do not like the name, which savors more of a Salvation army or W. C. T. U. organ than of a college paper. The Advance however, is a live and interesting journal, with matter well arranged, neat typographically and showing signs of prosperity. We wish it long life.
