MR. EDITOR:—When I was about to leave my home for a year's work at the University, after having been here for one long year, I declared that I would not be homesick; but all vows have come to naught, and the cause is this: I passed the room once used as a cloak room and peering in, saw a number of law students lounging about the room in various attitudes expressive of the utmost contentment. This brought to my mind scenes which I had witnessed in the same place and I felt that without our cloak room we could no longer find life enjoyable. We can no more dodge hastily in to escape the eye of a professor whose class we are skipping; we cannot run in between each recitation and see that "my bangs" are all right; we cannot put on our hats and then, taking our books in hand, stand in the door-way slowly putting on our gloves while watching for the right fellow to come along; we cannot sit in the windows and make game of new student of the male persuasion who calmly strolls in washes his hands and face and giving his hair a part, strolls out, but not so calmly; and also, we can no longer stretch ourselves out in full length on the shelves and "play catacombs." This may sound like treason to the rest of our sex, but then it is all a thing of the past now, and—well, to tell the truth, I don't want those boys to think they have all the fun with their Pan-Hellenic, or Jug-Hellenic as it ought to be called, with regard to the fitness of things I dont believe in the prevalent idea that we girls must always appear quiet, dignified and reserved whether we actually are so or not; on the contrary I think that what we do say should be made known, talked about and criticised just as freely and as publicly in this paper, for instance, as are the actions and sayings of boys. As no one has ever done this before, and probably will not soon, I shall take it upon myself to make known our desires and complaints from now on in this way, the editor of the KANSAN having kindly proffered the use of its columns Bess. Science Club. Most of the old members of the Science Club were to be found gathered around the long table in Snow Hall last Friday night and several new faces were to be seen, among them Prof. Carmuth and Prof. Stevens and their wives. Prof. W. S. Franklin's paper on the sense of smell was the great attraction of the evening, and showed much research and thought, as Prof. Franklin's papers always do, although all investigations in this neglected field must be somewhat disappointing in the lack of positive information. It is remarkable that so little attention has been paid to this important sense and almost nothing is known of its way of working. Prof. Franklin showed that as the phenomena of interference is absen and there is no apparent relation between different odors, each sensation must be produced on a different set of nerves and that the effects were probably chemical although no exact relation has been discovered between the chemical composition and the odor. The paper excited a long and interesting discussion in which every one in the room took part. Prof. Marvin called attention to the fact that although odors are kept in the memory for a long time yet it is impossible to bring them to mind as we can bring up a picture before us. Robt. Rutledge followed with a report of recent feats of engineering, and Prof. Marvin gave an account of some curious bridges in Ottawa County. Prof. Stevens next called the attention of the club to the important work which is being done in the cultivation of parasites of noxious insects. The parasite of the scale insect has been introduced to protect the orange groves of Florida, and Prof. Snow's attempt to kill off the chinch bug has been very successful this season wherever tried. The importance of applied entomology is apparent when we realize that the value of cotton destroyed by the cotton fly in Texas this year is $11,000,000. Prof. Franklin noticed a new method of reducing the value of the peronal error in astronomical observations by means of which it is possible to estimate within less than the twentieth part of a second the ocultation of a star, with great ease. Plans were proposed for giving a public exhibition of lantetn views on popular scientific subjects about Christmas time, and it was also decided that the amatuer photographers that infest the University should "take a walk" some fine day and practice on each other and the natives in the surrounding jungle. There are now five cameras in the club and it is dangerous practicing inside the city limits. All shrewd, economical buyers go to the Star Shoe store to buy their shoes. Why? because their expenses are light and they can afford to sell goods cheap. They sell for cash. No dead beat accounts to make you help pay up. Come and see us. Five names were presented for membership to the Science Club. Two weeks from Friday the second meeting of the year will be held, and Prof. Bailey will report on the summer meeting of the association for the advancement of science. Although membership to the Science Club is confined to the Juniors, Seniors and Professors in the scientific departments, the club meetings are open to all, and we will be glad to see students in all classes come around to Snow Hall when you see the program up and see if you don't enjoy the evening.
