SINCE the defeat of the Kansas State University boys at Haskell. Journal.
When was that? We failed to hear an account of that game and would like to have the particulars.
Iowa College, at Grinnell recently had a novel game of ball, the "Fats" of the college being matched against the "Consumptives." The total weight of the heavy men was 1,800 pounds and that of the light men was 1,000 pounds. The game was 9 to 8 in favor of the "Fats."
WE have a communication this week, concerning the new girl's Fraternity, written by one of our prominent students. While the KANSAN does not coincide with the views contained therein it is worth while to give them consideration because they are the other side of the question.
BAKER BEACON: The boys were out trying their new balls and rackets on the Lawn Tennis court, Friday. We think in a few weks our team will be able to successfully compete with Washburn and the K. S. U. leaders, on the look out for some fun.
The State Oratorical contest of Illinois was held at Galesburg Friday October 5th. The first place was won by Mr, A, C. Douglas of Monmouth College. The students of Knox College celebrated the occasion by burning the judges in effigy for not awarding first place to their representative.
We have received a copy of "Germania," a semi-monthly magazine published at Manchester, N. H., devoted to the study of the German language and literature. It is intended as means by which persons studying the language in school may have the choicest German literature in a convenient form to continue their studies after they are out of school.
THE KANSAN again desires to call the attention of our students to the splendid opportunity given by the University Lecture Course of hearing the best lecturers of America at a very nominal rate. These lecturers all command high prices and the association is to be congratulated on its display of true K. S. U., spirit in securing the best talent regardless of price. That the course merits your pronounce goes without saying. Think of hearing such men as Nye & Riley, George Kennan,
Geo. W. Cable, Rob't. MeIntire and Will Cumback all for two dollars. But when it is added that holders of course tickets will have first chance at reserved seats in the Opera House there will surely not be a single student so parsimonious as to refuse to buy a course ticket. These tickets are now on sale and as only a limited number will be sold only about one hundred more, you should secure them at once.
PERSONS who have been trying to persuade themselves that K. S. U. is pervaded with class spirit should read the following from one of our exchanges:
About two weeks ago a student in the junior class at Dartmouth, charged with breaking down the door of a freshman's room, was expelled by the faculty. His classmates submitted evidence which they say was sufficient to prove his innocence; but the faculty declined to allow him to return to the college. Over thirty members of the class, which numbers fifty-three, applied to President Bartlett for honorable dismissal papers, expressing a determination to leave.
MISS WALSCH RESIGNS.
Much surprise was manifest among the students the first of the week when it was announced that Miss Caroline Walsch, the assistant in English had resigned. The reason for this action is the poor health which Miss Walsch's mother is now in, her presence being required at home. Miss Walsch is a graduate of Vassar and has made many friends among the students, who are sorry to lose her.

He is a graduate of the institution and for the past to years has acted in the capacity of tutor. He is highly recommended and is heartily welcomed to the University by both Faculty and students.
A KICK.
EDITOR KANSAN:—Will you permit me to make a remonstrance, through the columns of your paper, against the custom now in vogue of closing the library during chapel. A number of students, of whom I am one, go to the University at 8 o'clock in order to study in the Library until class time, but at twenty minutes to 9 we must get out of the Library, and go to some recitation room to study. I can not believe that the Faculty prohibit our remaining in the Library from conscientious reasons, for one of the faculty is never seen leaving the Library when the bell for chapel rings. I fear that if the matter were investigated as many of the faculty could be found in the Library as in chapel, and this in face of the fact that they are responsible for the ruling that prevents a student remaining there during chapel. The Faculty would appear much more consistent in the eyes of the students if they would either vacate the Library during chapel or not compel the students to do so. This is a place where might be applied to advantage the old proverb,
"What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander."
STUDENT.
THAT NEW FRATERNITY.
In last week's issue I noticed an article in these columns deprecating the attempt to establish another ladies fraternity in the University, the reason being given that three were enough. Without any desire to champion the proposed new fraternity, for I am not acquainted with the parties interested in its inception, let us look at the question candidly and see if the reason given against its establishment is a good one. Any member of any of the fraternities now established will undoubtedly agree with me when I say that fraternity life is advantageous to the individual in that it fills out a part of life neglected in the strict collegiate courses, by giving him closer and firmer friendships, and thus indirectly increasing his affection for his Alma Mater, besides giving him social advantages to be enjoyed in no other way. Now if all this be true, would it not be to the true interests of the University and to each individual student if all the students were members of some such organization? True, some organizations would have higher aims than others, just as one class of students differs from another class in its hopes and aspirations. But each would undoubtedly be benefited by the association and mutual exchange of ideas and by that creation and enjoyment of close fellowship only found in college life within the fraternity circle. As it is at present, only a favored few can ever profit by this experience, since there are not enough organizations to accommodate all the different classes and grades of students. The only way this can be remedied is through the establishment of organizations that will include these classes. And if these organizations are conducted properly there can be no doubt of their advantage both to the individual students and to the University. For this reason the attempt to establish another fraternity should not be discouraged, as it certainly is not to be feared, by the older established chapters. M.
