THE sentiment in favor of keeping the Library open during Chapel is gaining ground.
CHADDOCK College (Quincy III.) will soon be added to the list of Colleges sheltering Fraternities.
BAKER students will be given only one day in which to eat Turkey and otherwise celebrate Thanksgiving.
THE girls of Iowa College recently engaged in a game of foot ball and the Pulse makes the description of the progress and result of the game the theme of a poem.
The University of Michigan claims the most students and Cornell the largest Freshman class this year.
The students are showing the right spirit in giving their support to the University Ball. Every cent given to this is so much done towards giving their University a footing in athletics.
THROUGH the kindness of Miss Watson we have been furnished with a list of the books recently added to the Library and will publish it from week to week until the entire list is published.
THE exchange editor of the Lynn High School Gazette is an editress. The boys having exchange columns to attend to will now be vying with each other to say the nicest things about the Gazette's exchange column.
JOURNAL: Some University boys go to church to walk home with the young ladies. This is by odds worse than the girls going to show off their sweet bonnets.
We are told this applies strictly to the city dudes and not to the "Farmers."
TO-NIGHT the first lecture of the course will be given. The attendance will be large but there are still quite a number of students who have not yet bought tickets and should do so. This course is a University enterprise and one that will be a great benefit to all who avail themselves of it. The success of this venture will influence any future endeavors in this direction and for this reason if for no other it should receive the encouragement of the students.
The Camera Club had a meeting at the residence of W. S. Franklin last Saturday evening. It was decided to purchase some photographic books and present them to the library, also to offer a prize for the best three photographs taken by any member of the club this year. The club is determined to do something entirely original that will astonish the world, just what it will be is not yet ascertained. To-morrow, if the weather is favorable the club will take a walk and capture some picturesque views in the vicinity of the city.
JUDGING from the attacks made on K. S. U. by the exchange editor of the Hesperian he must have had a case of indigestion before writing the exchange column for the last issue. The Hesperian is a good paper and the exchange column as a general thing does it credit but such uncalled for attacks on neighboring institutions and other college papers tends to lower its standard of excellence. It would be well to learn that all intellect and ability is not confined to the Nebraska University, and that there is room for difference of opinion on some subjects.
ONE can tell a boy whose girl has accepted some one else's company by his refusal to buy a ticket for the University ball.
Some one laboring under the delusion that he was having fun tore up the walk leading to the University. Hallowe'en. Such actions show a greater lack of brains than anything else and it is hard to conceive of a Uniniversity student being guilty of such an action.
We have been shown a petition, which is being circulated among the students, asking that the library remain upen during chapel exercises. We belive that this if accomplished, would be a move consistent with the thoughts embodied in the word "State University." In accordance with the ideas and purposes of the founders of this, our University, one of the greatest of the State institutions, each student may pursue his labors under the same conditions and with equal advantage to himself, however different may be his beliefs, political, religious, etc. It was for the furtherance of this perfect equality that the devotional exercises in the morning were made optimal, and if a student may choose his labors allowed to put in the time in what manner he desire, provided, of course, it in no way interfere with those taking part in the exercises. He certainly would not interfere if permitted to remain in the library. If one does not desire to attend chapel, he will never be led into doing so by being excluded from the library. It will only increase the disturbance occasioned by the gathering in the halls. This closing of the library acts upon different classes of students in very opposite way. There may be a few students who, finding no opportunity to study, may attend the chapel exercises, but this number is very small, or by observation one may easily see that there are not many other than those who attend regularly; there may, however, be those who do not attend chapel, whether engaged in study at the time or not, and upon these a hardship is worked by the closing of the library. Even if by this treatment all those who are absent from the chapel through desire to put in the time in work, were brought into regular attendance, it could not be deemed right and just; much more unjust is it when positively nothing is effected on it.
The Editor's Reverie.
One day the editor slept and dreamed. And he seemed to toil along a narrow rocky path. To his either side were branches with thorns, and rude points of rock, and he made his way with difficulty. And he passed by many; some plodding their way onward with him, some lagging behind, while some had turned and were retracing their steps. And when in this dream he had traveled far, with weary feet and courage well-nigh gone, it seemed that the path ended
abruptly, and through an immense arch there shone a light of wondrous brilliancy. The editor turned with fear and questioned a fellow-traveler.
"Why, who art thou," responded the traveler, "who should have toiled up the rugged Path of Life, and not know thy own reward? For yonder stands the Gate of Heaven."
And the editor knew that the traveller had spoken the truth, for he saw at the gate the venerable form of Saint Peter, with his mighty keys. And his conscience smote him, as he thought of the thoughtless deeds of his life, and he feared to approach. So he stepped into a niche in the rock, and while he stood concealed, there came up a young man and demanded admission at the gate.
And then came the gruff but kindly voice of Saint Peter, "Who art thou and from whence dost thou come?"
"Oh most divine Saint, I am but a humble student from the University of Kansas," returned the young man.
"A noble institution," said Saint Peter, "I have heard much that is well of it. But thou didst not say to which fraternity thou didst belong."
"To none, oh, sire. And yet I lacked not opportunities, but could not avail myself of them."
"What! Thou a barbarian? Thou, who hadst opportunity to become a fraternity man and yet availed thyself not, comest to demand admission at the Gate of Geaven?"
"Aye, Sire, I had little time from my books, and my means were not sufficient."
"Begone, youth 'Have I not heard that men in thy University were judged by the fraternity of which they were members, and thou hast no fraternity. I can have naught to do with thee."
"And art thou also from the University of Kanas?" asked the Saint.
"Yes, sire," responded the youth,
"And so that there is a chance?"
"No, sire. I belong to the order of Sigma Chi"
"Sigma Chi? Yes, I have heard that name before. But what hast thou done? Ever been president of the Oratorical Association?"
"Ever been editor of the Review?" "No, sire."
"No, sire."
"Ever lead your class?"
"No, sire, but—"
"Yes, yes, I understand. But thou didst come very near it. No, I am sorry but thou can't enter. Thou see'st, taken all in all thou art quite a fair young man, but thou hast never done anything."
And then turning to another who approached the Gate, "and here is yet another student of the University. What is thy fraternity my lad?"
"Sigma Nu, sire."
"What, a Sigma Nu? I have heard of thee before. And didst thou, a member of that order, expect to enter the Gate of Heaven?"
"But, sire, have I not lived a pure life? Did I not stand at the head of my classes? Was I not honest and upright? In what manner have I sinned?"
"I know naught of thee, save that thou art a Sigma Nu. Thou must go."
And as the young man turned away, there approached another with firm step and haughty mien, who scarcely saw Saint Peter at the Gate, and who, when the hand of the saint was laid upon his arm, turned with a look of surprise and indignation and said:
"Why, I'm a Phi Psi."
And before Saint Peter could express his astonishment he had entered the gate and was out of sight. And the great tears rolled from St. Peter's eyes as he gazed at the dent in the granite rock that the young man had accidently struck with his cheek, and was so nearly blinded that he failed to notice the man of tremendous stature who approached.
"I'm a Beta," he said.
"Yes, but what hast thou done?"
"Oh, our hall surpasses in magnificence anything that ___
"Yes, I remember, Wooglin hath told we of thy hall. Pass in." And a smile of happiness lighted up St. Peters face and drove the tears away. And as he turned his gaze towards the path his white locks seemed to stand on end with surprise. His whole face beemed with joy, and he seemed to rush out to meet a youth, and shouted:
"At last! A Phi Gamm hath come to the Gate of Heaven! Welcome! Welcome!"
But just then somebody was heard to say, "box party," and an expression of pain and anguish flitted across the youth's face. He gave one gasp, and became a raving maniac.
And then St. Peter, whose joys had become sorrows, turned to the last man, who was seen approaching and said:
"I know thee. Thou art a Phi Delt. But thou canst not enter. Thy fraternity has naught but engineers and journalists. The engineers upon being accepted would want to go back and survey a shorter road to our gate, while the Journalists—well, Journalists never do go to Heaven, anyway."
At these words a wild cry was heard, the editor sprang from his place of concealment and dashed madly down the path. But his footing was not sure, for he slipped and fell, rolled over the brink of the precipice,
PROTEUS.
And awoke.
