FLFTY CENTS A YEAR.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1897.
VOL. V. NO. 1.
FORMALLY OPENED. The Term's Work Commenced Yesterday.
Largest Audience Ever Assembled in Lawrence for a Similar Occasion Will White's Masterly Oration on Western Education.
The exercises in connection with the opening of the term's work each successive year have always been well attended but the attendance this year broke the record. Although every chair in the hall was occupied and the aisles and entrances packed with those standing many turned away unable to find even standing room. The fact that the greater part of the audience was composed of University students and not town people, was very noticeable.
It had been intended to begin the exercises at 10 o'clock but the audience was so long in assembling that it was fully 10:30 before the audience was called to order. The appearance of Chancellor Snow and Mr. White was the signal for prolonged applause.
While nearly everybody had heard of Mr. White many of the audience had never seen him and there was much curiosity to behold the man who became famous ia a day by an article entitled "What's the matter with Kansas." Chancellor Snow prefaced his introduction of the speaker of the occasion with a few remarks on the prospect of the coming year. He spoke in substance as follows: "It is with pleasuae that I greet this—the largest audience ever in attendance at the opening exercises of the University year in the thirty-two years of its existence. The wave of business prosperity which has just rolled over our state finds its first fruits in an increased attendance at our educational institution, the University of Kansas will this year surpass all previous records in the size of the student body but this will constitute the least element of success. The quality of the student body is of more importance than quantity. With this in view the faculty have been constantly increasing the requirements for admission, bearing in mind the fact that the University must keep in connection with the preparatory schools which serve as connecting links." The Chancellor's speech was several times heartily applauded, especially his reference to the returning wave of prosperity. After making a number of announcements in regard to the recitations for the remainder of the day, the chancellor introduced Mr. White in the following well chosen remarks: "Seven years ago the University parted company with one of its talented students who has since won distinction for himself in the fields of journalism and literature. This young man we now have with us, and I take great pleasure in introducing Mr. Wm. A White, who will address you on the subject, "A Western Education." Mr. White is rather short in stature and quite stout, with light hair, blue eyes and a fair complexion. At first he appeared somewhat embarrassed, but he soon warmed up to his subject and was perfectly at ease, speaking with a clear strong voice, so that it could be distinctly heard in all parts of the house. He had an earnest, forceful way of speaking that carried a conviction of sincerity to the hearts of his hearers. A pleasant and infectious smile always prepared the audience for a humorous simile or remark. Those who have heard any of his stories found his thoughts quite characteristic. The following is his address in full:
During the thousand years last past most of the world's history worth recording has concerned the development of the peoples who have lived upon a belt of land and sea stretching from Berlin, through London to San Francisco. In this zone lies the west. Herein industrial civilization has achieved better success than elsewhere on the globe. Herein federated government has triumphed more signally over tribal warfare—a barbarian relic—and here the individual is more surely archived in his fortunes than he is in any part of the earth beyond the boundless. This imagined parallelogram. The western people seem to be to be the ark of the covenant—the covenant between God and man to make the world better. Their heritage seems to be the ultimate establishment of peace on earth and good will among men. It is a magnificent bequest, one that should draw us together, nation to nations, as brother to brothers. One branch of this family should not boast of its variations from other branches, as the parallelogram exalted his piety. We of the
new west should not glorify our newness, nor should the old west make a virtue of antiquity. Yet we of the new—we of the newest west—we who dwell here in the Mississippi valley, we may well afford to be generous in our estimate of our kinsmen. If they seem insular, ignoring our accommodation, we must map of civilization, it profits us nothing to meet misinformation with anger, provincialism with provincialism.
This university should be a beacon set upon a hill. The progress of the world depends in a considerable degree, upon the reasonable and catholic view of life, which each student here takes back with him to his home community. You are the men and women who will influence Kansas thought, and thereby western thought, during the next three decades. Much of the strength of the new west lies in the fact that its broad fertile lands are occupied by liberal, intelligent people. The danger that threatens us is vanity. Here in this great valley we are in the breakers of a westward moving wave that has carried the world's progress for ten centuries. We are the descendants of a race of pioneers. For two-score generations our ancestors have been felling forest, plowing strange seas, and turning the furrows of new lands. We have the blood of brave men in our veins—the blood of conquerors. Blood tells. When the last western forest had fallen by the axes of our fathers, when the sea was encased by our father's attacks, and if the western island were taken by the plows, the energy in our blood made us—the children of conquerors—restless in the walks of peace. So we set about to conquer time. And cities have sprung from the fields in a day. We fought with space, and we defy its law, while we talk across a thousand miles and hurl our messages over mountains and under rivers. We have abolished the wilderness. We have led civilization into the desert. We have melted our fathers swords and cannon, and we have moulded therefrom the marvelous machine of commerce that is as pittiless as war. These things have we done, here on these plains of the new west. In our last contest, battling with time and space, we seem to have conquered more in three decades, more than our fathers conquered in as many centuries. The glow of victory is upon us—the glow that has turned to ashes, how many million times since it burned the cheeks of Babylon.
If drunk with sight of power we loose,
Wild tongues that have not the Tree in awe.
Such boasting as the Gentiles are,
Coleridge broads without the law
Otterless breathers with him,
Lord God of hosts be with his yet-
We have not solved the problem of living, we remain the problem of the new vies and the old west can give to theigma no adequate answer. Each of you people here today who seems to be the center of a vast circle in the universe, is of consequence to the world only as he yields up the measure of his years to the right living. We are as corals on the reef. Some lay when countless millions of good lives made the wall of justice between men secure it will curb the wave of wrong. Then truth which is the will of God, will prevail. Then the problem of living will be solved and men be proud. But now the engines we have made, the peace we have established, the intelligence that we have spread broadcast, — what are these things in themselves? Have we elected an intrinsic value, then contrast with a crown. What worth has the prince berown coil more than the smoked rocks of the cave man if each device gives heat to men who have no mercy in their hearts? What are newspapers, books, literature that we should bow before them if they only multiply modern instances of man's inhumanity to man and furnishes us with nice excuses for it? What is this field thing in truth education—but a tool in truth's mighty workshop—a kind of brain chiseller, a convolutional tool, but only a tool, a powerfu
And that brings us to the meat of the matter: It is of no moment to consider what education has been, nor what it is now in China or Arabia, or in any other dead lands. It is the education which will complete the evolution of this western race, the education which will so
form the living active brains in the occipital, that future generations may find the problem of life solved here,—this education—this western education—if you please is a subject that has vital interest or us. As this education is but means to in end, it seems to me that education should be defined as the most practical preparation for conduct that will get the best happiness from the life that is now, while it returns the most happiness to one's fellows. This definition must be subject to amendment and debate as the world moves on. For education changes with the times. The philosopher of yesterday may the fool of tomorrow. The ancient Persian learner to draw the bow, to house horses, to train the trunk and to an old figure here. Let us hope that a graduate of this university would walk more easily in the world a thousand years hence. This hope—if we have defined education wisely—should have reason in it. For you young people should be ahead of the van. The graces of mind, and soul, and heart, which should shine through your countenances, should be those graces which will make the world much better and brighter, when they are reflected from the average man. The educated man should be a hopeful prophecy—even unto the third and the fourth generations. I you are not that—you students of Kansas university—no matter what feats of memory you have perform, no matter what knowledge you possess, no matter what accomplishments your claims to education are fraudulent. If the quickening brain does not soften the heart then our system of education is worthless. For it is not in the current that is pushing life onward. It may be heresy, yet I am forced to the conviction that an alumnus of Kansas state university might have spent the four years which he devoted to the usual university course more profitably to himself and to the world rolling stones with Sisylphus, if he cannot find another's heart ache as exactly as he finds a star. It is not education of the head that will solve the problem of living and make justice prevail. The day has come when you have performed some important human being entering the struggle for existence, if he would attain the most satisfactory results, shall cultivate his sympathies. Education is no long "base authority from other's books." It is that and something more—something more worth the while, something that will make the life of man more certainly worth living. One leaves the skeletons of his life in the coral reef, only when he has lived that well—only when he has lived it approximating the perfection possible in his age. A calamitous error is often made by the teachers of that form of individual selfishness known as altruism. In teaching the strong man to surrender his surplus for his own spiritual good, he acquired the belief into the popular mind that the surrender from the strong should be demanded chiefly, not solely, to perpetuate the weak. No more dangerous doctrine was ever preached. An order built upon this theory of life would produce moral, mental and physical atrophy. "Trust in myself" says Emerson. "Every heart vibrates to that iron string." Self reliance is the foundation of our western political institutions. It should be the basis of western education, it should furnish you, young men and women, with a store of dignified courage which you may spread among the people by precept and by example that the western civilization may not perish from the face of the earth. No lesson is needed more generally by American education than the individual responsibility. There has been no time in past history when young men and women could look life in the face and say as you can. "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." And yet the notion is gaining headway, particularly in western America, that some nefarious influence, some law, some custom, some intangible hoodoo, works out a person's failure, while diabolical luck brings success. This superstition should be met by reason. If it is not rooted out speedily the rule of the demagogue, who thrives in all political parties, and in all religious organizations, will be established. It is under the cloud of such a danger that we have a right to look to Kansas state university for the light. The entire university plan will help widen the vital points of difference between being your brother's keeper, and clamoring for some richer brother to divide his wealth and keep you. While so many people are running up and down the earth demanding of a man that he love his neighbor as himself, it is a bit odd that some class in human science studying reform the laboratory plan has failed to note what an overwhelming majority of the doctrinares of this altruistic philosophy, are ready to immolate themselves and act as neighbor, while they repress heroically any consuming desire they may feel to officiate as lover. A long felt want would cease哭ing if some college would support a chair of Christian sociology with a book that would help widen the text "To him who hath shall be, and from him who hath not shall be taken away, even that which he hath." Occasionally this same professor might put in a felicitous hour with the primary class explaining that when Christ told the rich young man to go and sell his goods and distribute his wealth among the poor, Christ was trying to reach an immortal soul by making that young man unselfish. The injunction was not given for the benefit of the poor. Christ didn't say to the bystander "If this fellow doesn't divide you shall make him." They were not told that they had the slightest right, title or interest legal or
moral in the rich young man's estate. By exemplifying the vanity of riches Christ was trying to teach us the spiritual suicide of greed. Yet where does he say that any human law is powerful enough to stop it? Therefore we should know that while faith in riches is a vain thing, faith in legislatures and congresses, to accomplish any lasting and substantial good, is a vexation of spirit. It is not laws that this world needs, it is the elimination of selfishness in the men of all classes and conditions. In the case of small means usually covetous as the slave or millionaire who gives us such distress, merely magnifies the spirit of aggrandizement in the world about him. He has larger powers of meanness than we have—that is all. The hated plutocrat is just as selfish as the humble reporter. Aristodes was no better than Cleon and probably no worse. The attempt to wipe out the evils following selfishness by curbing the plutocrats' greed with law, so long as he does not violate the simple common laws, will be as futile as an attempt to becalm the ocean, by pouring oil upon the big waves while the little waves rage on. All the legislatures and congresses on the globe assembling together, cannot better condition that now exist while the greedy man lives in the farmer and hired man, finds in the farmer, and the storekeeper has to outwit in the hired man. This greed works wrong. It accomplishes the ends of injustice. No one can deny this. Yet it is in the blood of men. It cannot be legislated out. It must be educated out. Purify the blood.
We Kansas people call ourselfs, and we without reason, pioneers in western thought. But where is our reason? What have we done? Count over the achievements of Kansas, and the one that transcends all others is the school system of the state. It is our greatest glory—it, more than our hogs, more than our corn, more than our long horned steers, more than our statesmen living and dead, more than wheat, more than our history, gives us a reason for our pride. And our very pride is God's voice whispering in the heart of our family's goo-goo environment. We are at the head of the procession. We have the magic stone that will do the world's miracles. The establishment of one school like this upon these western prairies will bring about justice far more surely and in fewer years, than will the slaughter of a million oppressor of the poor. So long as the weak and the strong exist there will be oppression, but I assume that it is the purpose of the university to make the percent of the weak,—the ignorant, the violent, the vicious—smaller year by year, while more teachers and students than what are here for friends—to grow strong in mind, in soul, in heart, that with our very strength gentility—in the new fashioned meaning of the word—may come to us. You, who are students here, if you come following the tendencies of the times,—are not here merely to acquire the tricks of trade, to master the details of a profession, to discover, by some hook or crook the secret of making money. If there is any fault in modern education, it is its tendency to make mere machines. If you come here to fit yourselves to make money—go home—the better are places to catch the knack of business, the easier the business to make, you have here to learn how to make a living, which is an entirely different procedure from that making money. The truth is that the man or woman who gets the best happiness back to his fellows, who really makes a living, does not live to make money. Any fool can make money, most fools can squander it. Many fools can board it. The primary object of an education should be to instruct men and women in the gentle art of spending money after they have earned it. It is not a simple matter, when one think of the joy one may bring, the tears that come, the need to give the worry, the wisdom one may see in an open book, the beauty one may conjure from a printed page—each with one humble American dollar, it is small wonder that the intelligent man should ask for more light before he executes his trust and parts with that which Providence has lent to him. So long as there are people in the world who forget that their talents are only evidences of their obligations to others—so long as the accumulation of wealth for the sake of wealth, and not for the good that wealth can do, remains the chief end of man, as it seems the only way
If we are beginning to understand the truth, the world must be growing better. Indeed we are growing
better. You who have gathered here today assemble in a cause as holy in your time as that which called the knights of the Cross to Jerusalem. The simple rites with which these doors are thrown open, begins a work which should mean to the world more than does the crowning of a king. With you, young men and women of Kansas university, is left the answer to the question: Shall this ceremony be consecrate to God, or shall it be an empty show—on a pagan holiday. Your work here, your lives when you shall leave these walls, shall prove the folly or the wisdom of your pilgrimage after knowledge. You should work, not because the night is coming, faith—the evidence of a day that is coming. Faith—the evidence of things not seen! Faith—the substance of hopes for. What a strange order, what a beautiful order shall prevail in the day that shall be, when the mill of education has taken greed from the human heart, when men shall toil for the good they can do with the rewards of their labor. They shall master the science of getting only that they may practice the art of giving.
The free school, the free library, the free hospital—all monuments to softening hearts, signs of good will among men—they are but shadows of coming events. Perhaps, if we who are here this morning live well and nobly, in the sunset of our day, we may tip-toe and peer through the radiant clouds and catch some hint of the castles of tomorrow. Then we may exclaim with Browning's Friar:
Oh, oh!
I makes me mad, and what men shall do.
And live in our graves. This world's no blot
for no black; it means intensely, and means
tood. It means is meaning, my meat and drink."
General Athletic Notes.
Tom Hester, who has been the staunch little full back of K. U., for three years, took the afternoon train Wednesday for Harvard, where he expects to enter the law department. He may also pay some attention to athletics, but has not definitely decided in regard to this. Hester had many friends who hoped that he would remain here another season.
Shorty Hamil is running for township trustee of Wakarusa township. He will doudless make a hole in the ranks of his opposition.
A cousin of Kinzie, who played ball on the never defeated team, has entered school and will try for the team. He has played some before
Teas, who was a second eleven man last year, will line up for practice this year with good prospects.
A federal court injunction might possibly stop Walker's talk on football and K. U.'s prospects, but nothing short of this will do it.
There is a rumor around that "Cussin" Smith, of Hiawatha, expects to return this fall.
Jones, who played substitute on K. U. last year, enters Kansas City University Medical this fall, and will play with that team.
It is reported that the president of Missouri university has said that ball at M. S. U. was not a decided success last year. Well, 80-o was a bad ratio; that's a fact. Dale Gear, who had been signed for the season by Cleveland, is now one of Kansas City's regular pitchers. C. A. Burney, last year's football mana-
Manager Reed has been on the Topeka State journal during the summer.

"It may be heresy, yet I am forced to the conviction, that an alumnus of Kansas State University might have spent the four years which he devoted to the usual university course, more profitably to himself and to the world, rolling stones with Sisyphus, if he cannot find another's heartache exactly as he finds a star,"—William A. White
The New Weekly.
This issue of the WREKLY appears in folio form. It will be hereafter so issued. The reasons for the change are several and sufficient. The anomaly of a newspaper in magazine form has long been apparent. The hurry of the issue detracts from its literary and artistic quality while no amount of hurry can furnish the news as it occurs. In the old form the typographical appearance of the newspaper-magazine was shoddy and distressing in the extreme; the stories were silly and puerile and unreadable; the football games occurring one Saturday were reported on the next; the whole content was too childish from the magazine standpoint, too absurdly ancient from the standpoint of the most primitive newspaper. A change was demanded and is now given. We hope it will be welcomed by all. The policy of the paper will be to chronicle the news faithfully, impartially and intelligibly, and to advance in the full measure of its power the aims of this great educational institution which it represents. It will be alive. Issued every Saturday night the news will be up-to-date, including a full account of the afternoon football game. It bespeaks loyal support, promising to interest if not always to please.
terest if not always to please.
There are two methods of conducting the editorial page of a college paper, the singular method, the editor-in-chief writing all the paragraphs, and the community method, the editor and his associates all working in common. The purpose of the first method is obvious but mistaken, for the theory that when one man writes all the editors the authorship of all the good things is known works both ways, the authorship of the poor things being known then as well. And the present staff fear the condemnation of the preponderance; although perhaps it is not the preponderance that counts after all, so many journalists are judged merely by the dull things they write; but of this the staff take due caution. Nobody shall know who are the guilty authors of the poor matter,—unless forsooth, no good copy appear at all. But the honors of a good paragraph shall be equally distributed among the editors and the associates, for we choose the community method. And the waste paper basket tells no tales.
The credit of a good college paper goes to the school where it is published; not to the editors. We admire the Yale Courant, the Harvard Advocate, the Cornell Era;
but we do not say "well done Mr. Wootsy of the Courant and Mr. Kootsy of the Advocate and Mr. Ebenezer of the Era." These are all learned gentlemen, excellent in their way, and approved journalists, but it is their work that appeals to us, not the authors of it. Indeed, most of us, if we ever even looked over the catalogues of honored names which head the editorial pages of these papers have forgotten all about the style of Mr. Wootsy's work and Mr. Kootsy's and Mr. Ebenezer's, while the individuality or the commonality, if you call it so, of the papers which they represent remains with us to please or displease and help to make the reputation of their schools. The honor of a good paper, then, belongs to the school, as well as the dishonor of a poor one.
We commend the University Y. M. C. A. for its departure from the time-honored custom of meeting new students at the trains. A boy old enough to attend a university is certainly old enough to enter a town and find accommodations without the aid of a guide; moreover, he is sure to profit by just such an encounter with the cold world. Lists of rooms, hand-books, cheerful service and cordial fellowship make the Y. M. C. A. one of the new student's best friends, but in a university its influence is only weakened when it vies with hackmen, hotel-runners, club-stewards and fraternities in capturing new men at the railway stations.
The editorial board of the WEEKLY has undertaken the publication of a monthly magazine that shall be literary and artistic in content and at the same time interesting to every student of the University of Kansas. The pen and ink sketch by Professor Clark will be a feature. The magazine will be issued from the press of Lawton and Burnup of Kansas City, the first number to appear about the middle of October.

It is quite probable that the new students spent their first days in Lawrence in trying to get the dust out of their eyes.

A fool and his room-mate are soon parted.
A well educated man will not forget to pay his laundry bill.

Eschwe late hours. A game of marbles ought not to hold you after 2 a.m.
When you lose your hat advertise for it on the bulletin board and you'll never see it again.
It is not considered good form to spit on the floor nor through the grating of the registers.
Chapel exercises are for the unregenerate. Members of the faculty are seldom tolerated.
Do not be too insistent and outspoken. A clown often mistakes boorishness for independent spirit.
Avoid tobacco in every form; but if you must use the weed, don't borrow your Arcadian mixture of me.
The man that casts his bread upon the waters may expect to find it pretty well soaked up by the time it returns to him.
Arrange to have little private talks with your instructors after class. This is called the gas method and is a sure way to fame and favor.
The football player who refuses to get into the interference is of little use on the gridiron to any but himself. He belongs to the same class with the reformer who will not mix up in politics.
Walter Blackburn Harte has an admirable essay in the July Lotus on "Catching Ideas on the Wing." It appeals to Freshmen. A great number of you would be better off for winging a few.
Do not give two thoughts to your popularity. A man never knows how much folk think of him until he dies, and then everybody feels sorry that he has gone to Heaven.
When a stranger rushes up to you and warmly shakes your hand, do not knock him down. He's a club steward, not a sharper, and if you're smooth you'll treat him kindly and get a free meal.
It is good form to affect a carelessness in points of accurate knowledge and scholarship: to be accomplished rather than learned. This shows that you are a modern apostle of veneering, and not an antiquated stickler for brains.
Discipline is not the one thing commendable to the awkward squad. An a. s. man may become so well disciplined that he can't tour a drawing room without turning square corners. Natural refinement- 'ab!' that is it. Assume a little if you have it not.
Do not be obsequious or servile. The professor may know the last word on a subject, but he will be glad if you presume to know something. Agreement with the text or the teacher's view is not the ultimate end of the student. Cultivate your own mind; your instructor's may have gone to seed.
His individuality is the only thing a man can indisputably call his own. When he surrenders this he impeaches his manhood, and if he think to barter that for social advantages and distinction he prices himself cheap; for this is true at all times: The bird that trims his tail to suit the birdies makes but a runty feather duster.
New English Bulletin.
All students; whether returning or entering, will require copies of the English Bulletin revised for the year now beginning. Copies may be had on application at the general office of the University, and should be secured immediately, as they contain full instruction with reference to all English work; and especially that in themes and forensics.
Members of the Sophomore class may take note of the following corrections in Subject List A. Through an error in type-setting, the asterisks intended to designate exercises in invention have in several instances been misplaced, and the subjects numbered 79, 87, and 90 are not such exercises; while several that should be included are not marked. The exercises in invention are Nos. 3, 9, 14, 15, 43, 44, 57, 59, 80, 88, 91, and Nos. 1, 8, 10, 16, 30, 49, 56, 58, 61, 62 and 70 are similar in character, but require some preliminary reading.

Convention of Pi Beta Phi.
The fifteenth biennial convention of Pi Beta Phi fraternity was held in Madison, Wis., from July fifth to the 11th. The convention was the occasion of the gathering of over eight college girls representing institutions scattered from Massachusetts and Maryland to California, and from Vermont to Louisiana.
The days were devoted to business meetings and the evenings to social enjoyment. On Tuesday evening an informal reception was given the visitors at the Beta Theta Pilodge. Wednesday evening the grand council conducted a model initiation. Thursday morning the party enjoyed a sunrise trip around Lake Mendota and breakfast at the summer cottage of one of the patronesses, the wife of Professor Barnes. Thursday evening the local chapter tendered a brilliant reception to the visitors and to 300 of the students, faculty and Madison friends. The social events closed Friday with an elaborate banquet at Guild hall. The next convention will be held in 1890, with the chapter at the University of Colorado.
The following notice of the gathering is clipped from the Milwaukee Sentinel of July 18th: "Pi Beta Phi is the oldest of the woman's college fraternities, having been founded at Monmouth in 1867, so this convention is significant as marking the thirtieth anniversary of its existence."
"This fraternity is also the largest of the Greek letter societies for women, maintaining chapters in twenty-eight of the most prominent educational institutions in the country."

The Minister's Chickens
The Brownes are our next door neighbors. By "the Brownes," I mean the Rev. Mr. Browne himself, the Rev. Mr. Browne's wife, the Rev. Mr. Browne's six children and the Rev. Mr. Browne's six chickens. The last named are very important members of the family. Their history in brief, is as follows: One Easter morning, the Rev. Mr.'s Brown on unlocking his front door, discovered a basket hanging upon the door knob, and in the basket, six downy little chickens, one for each of the young Brownes.
Needless to say the children were delighted with the "sweet little dears," as they called them, but as they had never studied the act of poultry raising, they were at a loss to know what should be done with their gift. Papa and Mamma Browne were appealed to, but they were as ignorant on the subject as the little Brownies. Finally, however, the difficulty was solved. A handsome bird-cage was purchased, in which the chickens were duly installed. On fine sunny days, this cage usually hung up on the front veranda of the parsonage; on dark days, it appeared in one of the south windows. The chickens grew apace. Soon the cage was discarded, and a snug little house was built in the preacher's back yard.
One day I heard an unusual commotion at our next door neighbors, — a sound of vigorous "shoeing" and wild flapping of aprons. Suddenly the tumult ceased, and I heard the preacher's deep voice say, "Run and ask Miss Ada, she'll know what to do." Naturally at the mention of my name, I picked up my ears. In a few minutes the preacher's eldest daughter came running in, her cheeks all flushed with excitement, her pretty cands, and the blue ribbons of her tea gown fairly dancing. "Oh, Miss Ada," she cried, "one of our chickens has been in its nest all day!"
"Well?" I replied, and continued my knitting.
"Oh, but Miss Ada, we can't get her off at all, and we're afraid she's sick."
"I presume the hen is sitting," I ventured to suspect."
"Why of course, didn't I say that she sae there all day; but what shall we do with her?"
"I have heard that a sudden dose of water is good in such cases," I replied.
"A sudden dose of water!" Well, would you give it—ah—externally or internally?
"Externally, by all means.
"And about how much for a dose?"
"Two or three bucketsful is usually sufficient."
"Oh! Hot or Cold?"
"Very cold."
"Oh! Something like a shower bath?"
"Yes, something like a shower bath."
In a minute, I heard her telling the rest of the family what Miss Ada said was the proper thing to do and out of curiosity. I stepped to the window to see the result. The Rev. Mr. Browne uncoiled the hose, and carefully pointed it at the offending hen. The eldest daughter entreated him to be careful, and not hurt it; and then the feminine Brownes retired to a safe distance; and the operation proceeded. Thus enjoined to be careful, the Rev. Mr. Browne regulated the hose so as to give the spray which he used upon his most delicate plants. Under this refreshing sprinkle, the hen chucked contentedly, but did not offer to move. Gradually the spray was increased; still the hen was obdurate. Finally, with set teeth and a fine grasp of the hose, the preacher turned the water on full force. Such an angry cackle as asrose! The hen half tumbled, half flew from the nest, and with rumped feathers and outstreached wings, started straight for her persecutor. Without waiting for an encounter, the Rev. Mr. Browne dropped the hose and fed precipitately in the house closely followed by Mrs. Browne and the six younger Brownes.
The eldest daughter appeared at an upper window, close behind her were Rev. Mr. Browne, his wife and the five younger Brownes. "Oh, Miss Ada," she called, "Miss Ada"
Wen?
"What do you suppose is the matter with that hen?"
"I fear that it has not been brought up right," I replied.
"O'Millar heard the Prawner."
up right, I replied.
"Olh!" chorused the Brownes.
Football Games This Year.
There will be more football games played on McCook field than ever before in one season. Eight games in all have been scheduled, and there may be others. This is the right idea for the management and for the University. Nothing will tend more to enlist an interest in athletics than opportunities to see the team engaged in contest.
Every student, of course, likes to go
down town and hear the dispatches read relating how K. U. is winning a game one hundred or more miles away, and everyone likes to go down town to help "swipe" dry goods boxes to build a big bon fire between the parks and make merry with tin horns and shouts and speeches over victories won abroad but after awhile one begins to enquire "what kind of a team have we anyway?" as he reflects that he has never or seldom seen it play.
But this year there is to be a change. With eight games scheduled for McCook field shares in the athletic association ought to be in big demand. A share in the Athletic association which sells for $2 entitles the holder to addmittance to all games both base ball and football which are glayed on McCook field. Twenty-five cents is the lowest price ever charged for a single admission to any game and the price has been as high as thirty-five cents. A share in the athletic association will therefore pay for itself in admission to the field this fall and will practically give the holder all the base ball games free. Then besides admissions the holder has the privilege to vote for directors of the new board to be elected in October which elects the managers of the various teams for next year. Taking it all in all the investment of two dollars in a share of the Athletic association is a good one and every old and new student should govern himself accordingly.
rapped
He did not intend to propose to her that evening. In fact, it was doubtful if he intended to propose at all, because—well, because he did not intend to propose to any one.
But how can a man help comforting a woman when she is in seeming sorrow? Especially a man of Baxter's nature?
Baxter was quite an eligible party, rich, handsome, and all the rest, but some way or other he had always managed to keep himself free, and always intended to—until that night.
The shaded lamp cast a rosy glow over the room—as they always do in love stories—and Baxter found Miss Townsend sitting by the open fire. There was a peculiar expression in Miss Townsend's brown eyes, an expression of determination, an expression which said as plainly as words "do not die." but Baxter saw it not.
Miss Townsend arose as Baxter came toward her, and languidly held out her hand.
"I am so glad you have come," she said, "I need some one—one some to cheer me. I am so lone—it is so gloomy outside, and the weather always affects me."
Baxter looked at her more closely. Her tall form, clothed in some shiny, white material—Baxter thought it was all long, straight lines—seemed taller than ever. And how white and drawn her face was! Her eyes, too seemed dewy, and suspiciously red.
"What can be the matter?" thought Baxter, "Surely the poor child has heard that I am going away."
Baxter always had a fatherly way about him when he talked to young ladies, no matter how elegant, or how worldly they might be. It was always "my dear, young lady," or "poor child," with Baxter.
He drew a low chair close by Miss Townsend's side, and narrowly watched her beautiful face. Baxter thought he was doing a very clever piece of character dissecting as he he sat there noting the different expressions that passed over Miss Townsend's countenance.
He talked on and on, of various interesting subjects, and then gradually led the topic up to that most interesting subject of all—himself, and his hopes and plans. He hoped to travel much in order to gain that polish and worldliness which only a traveled man possesses. In short, he was making plans even then for an extended European tour—Baxter stopped suddenly.
For a moment Baxter did not know what to do. At last, however, he took her hand, which was in inviting distance, although Baxter knew it not. How cold it was! And she was trembling! Baxter's heart thrilled with joy—or vanity, which is almost the same thing.
Miss Townsend was looking away into the distance, her face white, her lips trembling.
Miss Townsend covered her face with her hands. She seemed in great misery. "Oh," she gasped, "I believe this will kill me!" The words came piteously—it was only by a violent effort that she kept back the tears that struggled to come into her eyes.
"Lenore," he said, caressing her fingers,
"I am going away—going away to Europe next Wednesday."
Baxter was on his knees in a moment.
"Poor child, poor child," he said gently,
"You are sad and in trouble. I wish you would tell me—that I could help you. I would give my life to be of the very least service to you."
Two hours later Baxter was bidding Miss Townsend good night. He had postponed his intended trip for some reason or other, and Miss Townsend knew it. In
fact the date had been set for some months later, and Miss Townsend was going along.
"Lenore," he said, as he held her hand in quiet happiness. "Tell me what was the matter this evening? What was the trouble, was it because I—
Miss Townsend's lips trembled. A rosy flush manured her face and brow. By a great effort she raised her eyes and looked straight into Baxter's mild blue depths. She faltered, and then.
"It was only the toothache," she murmered.

CHANOELLOR SNOW AGAIN CONDUCTS A RECITATION.
A Class in Organic Evolution Organized Monday With a Good Membership— Reasons for the New De-
Pursuant to the notice which appeared in the University catalogue and the announcement at the general assemblage of students Friday, the class in organic evolution to be conducted by Chancellor Snow, was organized Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Chancellor's office. Despite the fact that no effort had been made to advertise the new course there were a number of students present anxious to take up this most interesting study.
It is not customary for the head of a great educational institution to engage in class room work, there being quite enough of the executive to do to use up the day hours and not unfrequently the night. Of the eleven college president at the Madison conference last year, only one, President Angell, was conducting a class or rather was delivering a course or lectures on constitutional law. Chancellor Snow's purpose, however, in taking upon himself, after seven year's respite, this additional labor was to bring himself into closer relations with the student body while at the same time supplying instruct in a subject too big to be neglected.
Professor Snow expects to conduct the class from the scientific standpoint, yet his lectures will aim to be not too technical to be interesting and popular. Besides supplementary library reading, there will be required work in Wallace's Darwinism. In his first lecture Chancellor Snow showed conclusively that there need be no conflict between the doctrine of evolution and the doctrine of Christianity.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
This Mysterious Meeting of Beta Poli-
tiacs. With their, Old Leader.
Mr Clyde Miller, commonly called "Tubby" on account of his resemblance to Ex-Chief Justice Martin, left the political situation in Osage county in care of a trusted lieutenant long enough to consult with his Beta brethren on Mt Oread this week. He positively refused to be interviewed as to the nature of his visit, but while he he was in close consultation with Mr. Copley, Mr. Wing and Mr. Boone, presumably in regard to the political situation at the University of Kansas. During the afternoon of Mr. Miller's arrival Mr. Wilkie Clock was seen by a WEEKLY reporter to walk in an agitated manner from the Beta house to Adams street and back again. Mr. Clock when approached also looked mysterious and refused to tell the purpose of Mr. Miller's visit further than to say that he had taken advantage of prosperity and the reduced rates to spend a week at the university of Kansas and to attend the circus. Shrewd politicians reasoning from a posterion argument believes that there is something behind Mr. Clock's remarks which he does not care to divulge. The outcome of this apparently chance meeting of laiding politicians will be watched with interest
A GLEE CLUB.
This year, however, everything is favorable to a successful season. We have the Chan cellor's word for it that there is general prosperity throughout the state, the faculty are willing providing care is taken in the selection of members, and the musicians of the University are enthusiastic.
For the University of Kansas is a Necess-
sity. Will One Be Organized?
There has in all probability been no one feature of the University and its work which has advertised the institution of which we are all so extremely proud, as the Glee and Banjo clubs which for many years made tours of the state, giving concerts in the principal cities during the Christmas holidays. These tours were not only financial successes, but have to a great degree popularized the University with the people of the state, and many a student had his interest in the University first aroused by these concerts. For the last two years no clubs have existed, due partly to lack of interest on the part of the musicians, the disapproval of the faculty, and the hard times prevailing throughout the state.
A meeting was held Saturday morning at Music hall for the purpose of discussing ways and means and was largely attended. Will the enthusiasm die out? A creditable Glee and Banjo club can do much for the University life. Shall we have one?
THE EVOLUTION OF T. DAVENPORT SMITH.
T. Davenport Smith who played sub on the eleven two years ago, has re-entered the law department. Time and other factors have worked a wonderful change in Mr. Smith. When here before he was generally known among the students as "Cussin" Smith. Since then, however, he he thoroughly reformed and is hardly recognizable as the same Smith. "I had the wrong idea of college life when I came here before," he says. "Then I supposed a man must be a 'dead game sport' to take part in athletics or be a college man. I had the idea that such habits as drinking, chewing, smoking must be indulged in to make a man popular with his fellows. But I soon learned that my ideas were wrong, entirely wrong. Such things do not elevate a man in the estimation of his fellows, but rather tend to lower him."
During Mr. Smith's absence he has become an active member of the Congregational church. He has also been engaged in Chataquna work giving readings the past summer at Ottawa, Kansas; Salem Nebraska; and other places where he had had good success.
He has testimonials from ex-Governor Morrill and others.
Asked as to whether he would play football this year he said:
"I am inclined to want to put all my time on my studies but yet I feel that every one should take a pride in his school and be willing to make some sacrifice for its glory. Animated by such a motive I shall probably play on McCook field once more."
GENERAL ATHLETIC NOTES.
Games was watching the boys one day last week.

A LULL AND THEN
Pennsylvania's team has gone into preliminary training. Among the candidates is John Outland. One of the rules of the Pennsylvania university is that any candidate who has failed in two terms work in a year cannot try for a position until he has lowered his conditions. There are some of this latter class at Pennsylvania and a list of them is given in the Philadelphia Record. This method certainly ought to maintain the standard of scholarship and in the end is the best for athletes as it encourages men to enter school who come to complete the course as well as to become athletes.
A POLITICAL VORTEX STIRS THE ZEPHERS ROUND MOUNTOREAD.
There are Many Candidates for the Many Offices and Excitement Will Run High.--The Political Situation in the Several Classes.
There is a mysterious sultrine in the political atmosphere. Whether it be indeed the silence which precedes the storm, or merely an inaudible shadow of an over blowing sham cloud may be determined later. But at present everybody is either ashamed of his ignorance or else too astute to talk. There is one general and overwhelming impression, unuttered but easily devined. Everybody seems to think everybody else is engaged in some secret, nefarious, invidious, diabolical scheme for the general overthrow of mankind and an ensuing chaotic heap; and everybody is anxious to be on top of the heap if he only knew which way to climb. This condition may be described as the pause in University manipulation or the glaring of the clans.
There is, however, sometimes found a way to get at the true situation. Little groups of men talking in low tones, whispered consultations between a leader and his henchman, little beckonings, nods and winks, shaking of hands and patting of backs and the arm-in-arm movement, nervous passing to and fro of abstracted individuals who are perfectly aware that the University resting upon their shoulders may slide into the gutter, vanished from its pinnacle forever, according as their innomely deliberations are foolish and not wise, all these are guide posts leading true into the political country. And it is from observations taken here that is supplied the information given in this article.
The seniors are interested above all things else in the election of class president. There is no lack of candidates and the uncertainty though quiet is intense. Of the sixty-seven who will graduate in the school of arts, every man or woman is either a candidate or a particular friend of some one who is. First in the race in point of time is Herbert Wing. He is a good student, always serious and earnest and full of classical allusions. Until his recent retirement from politics owing to the pressure of his philosophical studies he had been a power for good in the University. He has been recently elected president of the Beta fraternity. Mr. Clock, who used to aspire himself, avers that Mr. Wing is not a candidate. However this may be time will tell; but if Mr. Wing should change his mind and consent to be elected, he would confer an honor upon the class.
It has been reported by the friends of Mr. Wing that he would receive the support of the Y. M. C. A., members of the class in the event of his candidacy. This, however, is indignantly denied by prominent members of the organization, while at the same time they protest that Mr. Wing would not be opposed on account of his religious belief. But the Y. M. C. A may attempt to capture the prize for one of their own members, and Mr. Bright, Mr Smith and Mr. Clark are mentioned in this connection.
Others who are mentioned are Mr. Soudre, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Williams and Mr. McKinnie. All are strong men and would work for the best interests of the class.
But sejor political gossip does not concern the presidency alone. There is the Annual, always a swift road to discussion. Manager of the Annual is an enviable position not only because of the honor and patronage involved but because of hoped for filthy accrual therefrom. George Rising, Wilkie Clock and Mr. Keith are being talked of for the place, and "Sal" Walker has a number of friends who think he is just the man to get out a first class Annual.
The Junior class has troubles of its own. There are more aspirants than can conveniently be accommodated with the presidency. Overheard in the halls friends are booming Frank Shinn, John Flechet, R. R Keley. W. B. Graham, John Collins, F. M. Holliday and John Lofty.
There are so far but two candidates mentioned in the Sophomore class, Tony Buzzi and Ed Copley. Buzzi is coming into notice as a prominent candidate for hall-back on the varsity eleven. He is a popular young fellow and was president of his class in the high school of Arkansas City. Copley was one of the leaders of his class last year and is a very nice boy.

PROF. BLACKMAR ON AMERICAN FARM LIFE.
"I could not but notice the difference while traveling through Prussia last summer" he said. "There they have the community system of farming—the farmers live in little villages around which is their land. This gives them a chance for enjoying village life which the American farmers do not possess.
Professor Blackmar, in the course of some remarks to his class in the Elements of Political Economy last Thursday spoke of the difference to be observed in American and European farm life.
In some respects it would be well if the same system were in use in this country. One of the deplorable features of the present day is the fact that more of our farm boys when they have completed their college course do not return to the farm instead of rushing into law or medicine or some other profession.
"If the farmers lived in villages instead of living each one separated from the others more of the boys would be glad to return when their school days are over. Then they would have the chance for social enjoyment, for their evenings of pleasure together, for lecture courses and other things, which under the situation as it is today, they cannot have without going to the nearest town. The day will come and is coming when agriculture will be looked upon as the noblest work in which man can engage, and I hope to see the day when we may have electric lines from Eudora and Topeka and other surrounding points which will give those who are reared on the farm the opportunity to come to Lawrence and enjoy the advantages of the University without being compelled to entirely leave their farms."
NOW FOR TENNIS.
If You Wield the Requt Hand Your Name to the Committee on
Foot-ball, base-ball and the heavier sports have for some time crowded tennis out of the list of University athletics. Notwithstanding the fact that there are and have been many in the University who are proficient in the use of the raquet, the interest in this line of athletics has been lagging. A meeting held Wednesday noon, however, is expected to furnish a new impetus to the sport. The meeting was called by Committeeman John Lee and it was decided to hold a tournament in the near future. A small entrance fee will be charged with which to purchase balls and if a sufficient number of entries are obtained prizes will be given. The tournament will be for students only and it is hoped that there will be a large number of entries. The management of the affair is in the hands of a committee consisting of the Messrs Banks, McCleary, Wilder and Stanley to whom those desiring to enter should hand their names.
FOOTBALL IN EMPORIA.
K. U. Furnished Material for a Good Team-Managed by George Martindale.
Football is receiving more attention than any other sport at the present time George Martindale has received numerous letters asking for dates. Williamson, the great quarter-back and assistant coach of Kansas university, may be secured to coach the team. Shellenbarger may do some coaching also. There is a good chance for a first class team to represent Emporia this year. Hensley has returned to school with a brother who is reported even stronger than he is. Hensley is one of the best players in town. Coffman, another good man is working here and can play; Humes will be back; Moses, Lamb, Morley, Savage, Cullison and a number of other excellent men will attend college this year so that the present outlook is very encouraging for a good football team in Emporia this year.—Emporia Gazette.

University Altruism.
And now that the school year is formally opened and study has begun in earnest with its little avocations to crowd the time, we begin to hear of "University spirit." We shall hear more of it tomorrow and the next day, and all through the term and the year. It is an ever popular topic, full of meaning, often too heedlessly discussed. It is altruism with Mr. White's interpretation. It seeks the social good, rather than the individual, but in attaining that attains the highest good of the individual. University spirit may be moral, or spiritual, or intellectual, or perhaps all three, but is not concerned entirely with sober, serious things. It fosters a desire in the student to repay in part the benefits he derives from the University. He can do this by responding with his talents as the various interests of the University may demand. For instance there is the demand of the man that he devote a part of his time to representative University sports; of the fluent speaker and the skilled disputant that they win laurels for their school in oratory
The Proper Way to Kick.
Under the new management of the WEEKLY there will be a radical change from the course this paper has formerly pursued. We expect to print all the news. When anything happens that will interest the public you may rest assured that it will be found by the WEEKLY staff for the WEEKLY staff is every where. Some things which will be printed may make some people mad. We don't care if they do. When people get mad they kick. This don't worry us in the least, but when you kick don't go around secretly and roar to your friends trying to keep the WEEKLY from finding out that you are mad.
Write up your soreness and bring it to the WEEKLY or better yet tell one of the staff about it and space permitting.
FROM
BASEMENT STORE
we will publish your protest if it is a material one.
There is no personal spirit in what the WEEKLY says or does. We are no respector of persons and every one has the same opportunity. If we wake you up we are satisfied.
The course of one our most popula athletic men is worthy of emulation. For two years he was one of the hardest working men who reported on McCook field, but failed of the first team. This, although doubtless disappointing, did not discourage his energy. He continued to play faithfully, and when he did attain his ambition he knew his position almost perfectly. He distinguished himself against Ann Arbor's big center, but remained a teachable student of the game. Last year he played center in remarkable form. "Rock of Ages" Pendleton pronounced him not only the best center Kansas ever had but the best in the Interstate league. After this he was candidate for captain of the Varsity, but was defeated. There were no sore spots however. We find him in the summer writing to Captain Kennedy that he would return to try for his old position at center. He is not here to take center and confer an honor in the taking. He is here, as every patriotic man should be, to try for his position. This is the stuff that football men are made of. Many candidates for the team could take lessons of "Sal" Walker and many doubtless will.
The Andrews incident has closed and everyone is happy, though possibly not quite content. The Brown corporation suffered a humiliating backdown, though their apprehensions of the dire results of President Andrews' withdrawal are relieved. The students joyfully welcome their favorite back, but lament the necessity for doing so. President Andrews, while glad to return to the University, which he has done so much to build up, is forced to withdraw the series of articles which he had prepared for the Cosmopolitan Magazine. In fact the latter is probably the only party to the fusco which will be supremely content. With a great quantity of free advertising and an enormous increase in circulation to tide him through the cold months, Mr. John Brisben Walker can well sit in the comfort of his palatial residence on the Hudson and await the next appearance on the disturbed horizon of a man suited to conduct his great disinterested, philanthropic, Cosmopolitan University;
It is fitting that the eloquence of Christian A. Rohrer should have consecrated the departure of the old water tank. Neither is it strange that after that effort the old tank should have retired from its offices into the basement and refused to hold water any longer. And so, with no torturing exordium, here's to the new tank; may its waters gush clear and cold. Fill your tin cups to the brim, boys, and drink her down.
We may have few stars in the football team this year, but we will have eleven strong, earnest men who will play as a unit. And after all this is what we need. We have had unsurpassed individual players before but have lacked team work. As Doctor Woodruff well says, "I prefer teachable, ordinary men to stars, for what is one man against eleven."
It must be a pleasure to an alumnus of the eighties to visit the University and find Chancellor Snow in the capacity of instructor once more. The students gladly welcome him back to us. We hope the relations thus re-established may serve the Chancellor's desire of getting into closer touch with the student body.
The crime of spitting upon the floor should be punishable by suspension. There is no more dangerous or filthy habit, and those who practice it deserve no mercy.
The Montpeller Leader is one of the popular weekly newspapers of rural Ohio. It could not be otherwise with Frank Whitzel and Will Reno to push it.
Here is a true story of blighted hopes. She was a sweet little thing, pretty and young—especially young. She had heard all about fraternities from their village swell, who was a Sigma Nu, and of course her head had been filled with an ambition to become a 'sweet new girl.'
SHARPS AND FLATS
The rain has come. The dust is gone
We may be happy yet...you bet.
She came to Lawrence, and just exactly half a minute after she had stepped upon the depot platform, a dashing young girl had hugged her rapturously, and invited her to a rushing party. She accepted.
Out came her fluffiest dress and her
prettiest ribbons, out came a box of Mennen's Borated Falcum, Pozzons's, or something of the sort; and out came two or three innocent looking pencils — also out came the stars.
AT THE LOWEST PRICES ARTHUR STREET
Yes, she went to the party; and she came home. She looked in the mirror carefully,
very, very carefully.
Oh — oh — ohl! Her eyebrows were a royal Phi Gam purple.
He came to Lawrence with his head, full of nothing, and his "box" full of clothes.
TO LATE, A SAD, SAD STORY.
of nothing, and his "box" full of clothes.
An inventory was taken, and it was found that he possessed 253 neckties and fifty-two pairs of cuffs.
They were sure of him — too sure
That settled it. He was rushed.
On the fourth day a prominent Frater in Universate received a letter signed "Yours in — kai —" He rushed up to the hall.
"Boys, boys," he shouted out of breath "go slow! His father is a drayman and his mother takes in washing—and—and we've thought he was a millionaire."
Late, late, too late! The colors had already been pinned upon his coat. But—he was never initiated.
"My dear," said the girl in brown," why did you pledge yourself to the Pi Phis when just this morning you told me you would not think of joining a fraternity as you could not afford it and as your parents did not approve?"
SIXTEEN TO ONE—AGAIN
And the girl in brown walked away, murmuring something about 'that was the first time she ever knew the sixteen to one theory to work out, nohow.'
"Wall," said the girl in blue, "I like to know how you could help it when sixteen girls got around you, all gabbing and hugging you at once?"
This is an interview that was not intended for an interview.
TABLE TALK.
"I see they are rushing for all that's in it," she murmured, as she toyed with the sugar tongs.
The saub nosed girl, who said just what she pleased and did not care a snap, began it.
"Yes," replied the K. K. G., glad of an opportunity to converse upon the beloved subject for she was as yet only a young K, K. G.
"We are having just the most fun, and the loveliest success. You see, some of our girls have been basier than the proverbial busy bee all summer long, writing to Kansas towns to find out who is coming to the University."
"I is that so?" said the snub nosed girl "Yes," said the K. K. G., "but we often get disappointed in the girls from out of town. I think we ought to take in more town girls."
The snub nosed girl looked at the K.K.G and dropped her right eyelid.
"That reminds me,"she said, "What fraternities are rushing Miss—"
"None?" replied the K. K. G.
"None! Well! I'm surprised. She is one of the nicest, most refined girls I ever saw. She expects to be rushed—why shouldn't she when you have been so very friendly with her this summer? Any girl would who has been treated as she has been. I think you are making a mistake."
"Well," said the K. K. G., warming up to the subject, "she is poor, and we can't take her in."
"Now there is Miss —; I doubt if she would be rushed at all if her father were not wealthy, and did not own a beautiful home. I hope you see what I mean."
"Ah," said the snub-nosed girl, raising her eyebrows.
"That your purpose is to raise the standard of womanhood, to become better and more womany women yourself, and to make others better and more womanly women? Are you raising that standard any by taking in girls who have been reared in luxury—who have been sheltered and protected and petted all their lives, and who perhaps do not even know that there is a standard of womanhood to be raised? Can those girls raise the standard any more than girls who have been in touch with the world, who have known sorrow and trouble, and yet, who are coming through it all sweet and pure and refined? How many fraternity girls remember that vow after they have taken it?"
Fall Styles
The K. K. G. looked up quickly. "What principles?"
"Yes," said the snub-nose girl, "I see
that one you are looking to noses."
The K. K. G. was looking at her plate. "You are right," she said, "but we really can't afford to take in a girl who is poor and who has not a nice home in which to entertain."
"Can't afford it? Such a girl as Miss
—— would help your fraternity more than
you think. She is refined, quiet, and
womanly, and I am sure there
is not a more beautiful girl on the hill'
Her family, too, is perfectly honorable.

Would it not be better to take her in than some of those girls who have money—but what else? Not that I admire Miss — any more for desiring to be rushed. I think she is foolish therein, but it is too bad to see a deserving girl disappointed."
"I think," said the K. K. G. as she arose from the table. "I think I will speak to the girls about her today."
A GAME OF THE SEASON.
Then, if the curve of the right hand corner of the left ear is perfectly symmetrical, the question is put either that night or the next day. The question varies but little. Sometimes it is "to be or not to be" but offener it is "won't you be?"
In case there are two or three girls who are 'it' at the same time, the game is called progressive rushing, and is. of course, much more lively.
A rushing party is a very interesting amusement. It does not resemble a football game, although judging from its name you might be led to think so. It is not apt to become a very popular game, however, for the reason that it is not every one who can play it.
Four young ladies who are chosen to begin the game, group themselves about a sweet new girl who is "it." Then they rush ahead to ask questions and to volunteer sweet nonsense, while the sweet new girl answers "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am" with charming grace. After spending exactly six minutes and forty-three seconds in making their tongues rush along at the most rapid rate possible, the pair rush away to the next room, where from behind the draperies they stare at the sweet, new girl, and compare notes upon the curve of the right hand corner of her left ear, and the tint of her lower lip.
In the meantime four other girls have rushed to group themselves about the sweet, new girl, and after spending the required six minutes and forty-three seconds in conversation, they too rushed away to the next room to compare notes, while the first quartette rushes back.
And so the game goes on until all the girls but the one who is "it" have had a chance at the rushing.
The prize, if won, is shared by all the girls.
They were from the same town and had graduated from the high school together. When they both decided to come to the University, all their friends thought it would be "so very nice. They would be so much company for each other, you know and neither of them would get home sick."
They came to Lawrence. After the first day or two he noticed that whenever he met her she was surrounded by a bevy of laughing, chattering girls. How did she manage to get acquainted so quickly, he wondered. He wouldn't mind having a few such warm friends himself, for he felt decidedly lonesome and left out in the cold.
HE AND SHE.
She was so engrossed in her new friends that she sometimes failed to see him when they met on the street or in the halls. He heard her say once after she had spoken to him in passing. "Oh it's just one of the boys from home, you know!"
"Why, where have you been keeping yourself? I have just been dying to see you! Why don't you come up to see me offener?"
After awhile one of the boys' fraternities suddenly awoke to the fact that they were missing a good thing in not taking him in. He felt himself growing hopelessly popular all at once and was completely overwhelmed by the new strange sense of his own importance. But he knew by this time what all these things meant and it was not long before some little ends of ribbon adorned his left lapel.
This story ought to end with the deserved humiliation of her and the equally deserved triumph of him. But it doesn't. He was just as glad to see her as he
One day she appeared with a big bunch of ribbons pinned on her dress and after that she never saw him at all.
He met her in the hall. She broke away from a crowd of girls and rushing madly up to him exclaimed:
she was to see him and he went to call on her quite often after that.
The Junior also comes to town early. He spends the first few days in seeing the boys and meeting the new men. About the middle of the first week of school he casually drops into the Registrar's office and enrolls. Occasionally when he has nothing else to do he attends a class but on no account does he permit himself more than one day during the first week or two. The pressing requests of his professors to "Please see the Dean and get your work settled as soon as possible," he treats with the calm disdain befitting one of his station. At the end of about two weeks he gets text books and leisurely makes up the work he has lost. He does not consider it good form to be doing regular work until school has been open at least three weeks and if he is a very experienced student he delays a week or two longer.
The Freshman gets to town the first day the University opens and registers himself immediately. He buys his text books and has all his lessons prepared the first time his classes meet. He attends them all the first day and is settled down to regular work within a day or two.
Women's League.
The student who finds the most fault with the club board is not always the one who has the most to eatwhen he is at home.
And these are things we cannot quite understand.
The annual meeting of the Women's League will be held at the Chancellor's house on Thursday afternoon September 23rd, at 5 o'clock.
The member or members of the faculty who designed the present system for the registration and enrollment of students may feel proud of their work. Students who have made a close study of the interesting process of "working the faculty" for four studies or unearned credits and who are considered authority on these subjects express the opinion that the schemas which have worked in the past to procure these benefits will work no longer.
The holding of class recitations in the seminary rooms in Spooner library has been prohibited as it is said that the walls are so thin that students in other rooms are disturbed by the noise.

And Raises Money to Get Him-Iowa
Also Gotoing Into the Game
Should Missouri secure Wharton as it seems she will, the Pennsylvania style of play will be introduced at three of the four universities in the league and the standard football will be materially raised in the west. This ought to be an additional stimulus to the candidates for the Kansas team to play swift ball. Every man who is available as a football man ought to turn out for the honor of his alma mater.
Word also comes from Iowa state university that Bull will be retained at that institution, Bull played center on the team in the season of '95 our own Dr. Woodruff playing left guard and Wharton right guard.
A press dispatch from Columbia, Mo., to a Kansas City morning paper, announces the fact that Adam Hill has solicited sufficient money among the University of Misou-alumni to employ a coach although the finances of the Athletic association are still in bad shape.
The position of coach has been offered to Wharton of Pennsylvania who was right guard on last years Pennsylvania team. It is thought that he will accept.
It will be no easy task to win league games this year and just "any old kind" of practice will be sure to bring disaster and defeat to the Kansas team. While it is fortunate for Kansas to have Dr. Woodruff she cannot hope to do much unless he has the active support of all the available men in the University.

University Altruism
And now that the school year is formally opened and study has begun in earnest with its little avocations to crowd the time, we begin to hear of "University spirit." We shall hear more of it tomorrow and the next day, and all through the term and the year. It is an ever popular topic, full of meaning, often too heedlessly discussed. It is altruism with Mr. White's interpretation. It seeks the social good; rather than the individual, but in attaining that attains the highest good of the individual. University spirit may be moral, or spiritual, or intellectual, or perhaps all three, but is not concerned entirely with sober, serious things. It fosters a desire in the student to repay in part the benefits he derives from the University. He can do this by responding with his talents as the various interests of the University may demand. For instance there is the athletic man that he devote a part of his time to represent University sports; of the fluent speaker and the skilled disputant that they laurels for their school in oratory and rebels for graceful who have something to say that they exercise their intellectuals to the advancement of University journalism; and of the vast body of the blessed unaltered that they relieve the blankness of their condition by attending all public exercises and contests in which members of the University engage, that they cheer and wave blue and crimson banners, blow trumpets and toot horns and cheer again and again with the old Rock Chalk. But University spirit means more than this. It means love for the University, love that speaks not from the mouth merely. It means a love embracing faulty and students, making them one in sympathy and interest. A proper University spirit will prompt a student to avoid the anomalies and the jars in University life. He will not seek such alliance as will alienate him from class-mates or school-mates. He will not substitute clique life for University life, aristocracy for democracy. This is the beginning of a new year. The rushing season is on indeed. How much better for new students and old students as well if we might all rush together.
The Proper Way to Kick.
Under the new management of the WEEKLY there will be a radical change from the course this paper has formerly pursued. We expect to print all the news. When anything happens that will interest the public you may rest assured that it will be found by the WEEKLY staff for the WEEKLY staff is everywhere. Some things which will be printed may make some people mad. We don't care if they do. When people get mad they kick. This don't worry us in the least, but when you kick don't go around secretly and roar to your friends trying to keep the WEEKLY from finding out that you are mad.
Write up your soreness and bring it to the WEEKLY or better yet tell one of the staff about it and space permitting.

There is no personal spirit in what the WREKLY says or does. We are no respector of persons and every one has the same opportunity. If we wake you up we are satisfied.
The course of one our most popular athletic men is worthy of emulation. For two years he was one of the hardest working men who reported on McCook field, but failed of the first team. This, although doubtless disappointing, did not discourage his energy. He continued to play faithfully, and when he did attain his ambition he knew his position almost perfectly. He distinguished himself against Ann Arbor's big center, but remained a teachable student of the game. Last year he played center in remarkable form. "Rock of Ages" Pendleton pronounced him not only the best center Kansas ever had but the best in the Interstate league. After this he was candidate for captain of the Varsity, but was defeated. There were no sore spots however. We find him in the summer writing to Captain Kennedy that he would return to try for his old position at center. He is not here to take center and confer an honor in the taking. He is here, as every patriotic man should be, to try for his position. This is the stuff that football men are made of. Many candidates for the team could take lessons of "Sai" Walker and many doubtless will.
The Andrews incident has closed everyone is happy, though possibly not quite contented. The Brown corporation suffered a humiliating backdown, though their apprehensions of the dire results of President Andrews' withdrawal are relieved. The students joyfully welcome their favorite back, but lament the necessity for doing so. President Andrews while glad to return to the University which he has done so much to build up is forced to withdraw the series of article which he had prepared for the Cosmo politan Magazine. In fact the latter is probably the only party to the flase which will be supremely content. With a great quantity of free advertising and an enormous increase in circulation tide him through the cold months, Mr John Brisbin Walker can well sit in the comfort of his palatial residence on the Hudson and await the next appearance on the disturbed horizon of a man suited to conduct his great disinterested, phil anthropic, Cosmopolitan University.*
It is fitting that the eloquence of Chris-
tian A. Rohrer should have consecrated
the departure of the old water tank.
Neither is it strange that after that effort
the old tank should have retired from its
offices into the basement and refused to
hold water any longer. And so, with no
tornturing exordium, here's to the new
tank; may its waters gush clear and cold.
Fill your tin cups to the brim, boys, and
drink her down.
We may have few stars in the football team this year, but we will have eleven strong, earnest men who will play as a unit. And after all this is what we need. We have had unsurpassed individual players before but have lacked team work. As Doctor Woodruff well says, "I prefer teachable, ordinary men to stars, for what is one man against eleven."
It must be a pleasure to an alumnus of the eighties to visit the University and find Chancellor Snow in the capacity of instructor once more. The students gladly welcome him back to us. We hope the relations thus re-established may serve the Chancellor's desire of getting into closer touch with the student body.

Here is a true story of blighted hopes. She was a sweet little ting, pretty and young—especially young. She had heard all about fraternities from their village swell, who was a Sigma Nu, and of course her head had been filled with an ambition to become a "sweet new girl."

We may be happy yet--you bet.
She came to Lawrence, and just exactly half a minute after she had stepped upon the depot platform, a dashing young girl had hugged her rapturously, and invited her to a rushing party. She accepted.
Out came her fluffiest dress and her
prettiest ribbons, out came a box of Mennen's Borated Falcum, Pozzons's, or something of the sort; and out came two or three innocent looking pencils — also out came the stars.
Yes, she went to the party; and she came home. She looked in the mirror carefully, very, very carefully.
Oh — oh — oh! Her eyebrows were a royal Phi Giam purple.
He came to Lawrence with his head, full of nothing, and his "box" full of clothes.
O LATE, A SAD, SAD STORY
An inventory was taken, and it was found that he possessed 253 neckties and fifty-two pairs of cuffs.
That settled it. He was rushed.
On the fourth day a prominent Frater in
Universistate received a letter signed 'Yours
They were sure of him — too sure.
On the fourth day, permission for
"Boys, boys," he shouted out of breath "go slow! His father is a drayman and his mother takes in washing—and—and we thought he was a millionaire."
Late, late, too late! The colors had already been pinned upon his coat. But—he was never initiated.
"My dear," said the girl in brown, "why did you pledge yourself to the Fl Piis when just this morning you told me you would not think of joining a fraternity as you could not afford it and as your parents did not approve?"
SIXTEEN TO ONE—AGAIN.
"Well," said the girl in blue, "I like to know how you could help it when sixteen girls got around you, all gabbing and hugging you at once?"
And the girl in brown walked away,
murmuring something about 'that was
the first time she ever knew the sixteen to one
theory to work out, nowh.'
This is an interview that was not intended for an interview.
TABLE TALK
The snub nosed girl, who said just what she pleased and did not care a snap, began it.
"I see they are rushing for all that's in it," she murmured, as she toyed with the sugar tongs.
"Yes," replied the K. K. G., glad of an opportunity to converse upon the beloved subject for she was as yet only a young K. K. G.
"We are having just the most fun, and the loveliest success. You see, some of our girls have been busier than the proverbial busy bee all summer long, writing to Kansas towns to find out who is coming to the University."
"Is that so?" said the nubosed nose girl. "Yes," said the K. K. G., "but we often get disappointed in the girls from out of town. I think we ought to take in more town girls."
The snub nosed girl looked at the K.K.G and dropped her right眼 well.
"That reminds me,"she said, "What fraternities are rushing Miss —"
"None?" replied the K. K. G.
"None! Well! I'm surprised. She is one of the nicest, most refined girls I ever saw. She expects to be rushed—why shouldn't she when you have been so very friendly with her this summer? Any girl would who has been treated as she has been. I think you are making a mistake."
"Well," said the K. K. G., warming up to the subject, "she is poor, and we can't take her in."
"Now there is Miss — I. doubt if she would be rushed at all if her father were not wealthy, and did not own a beautiful home. I hope you see what I mean."
"Ah," said the snub-nosed girl, raising her eyebrows.
The K. K. G. looked up quickly. "What principles?"
"That your purpose is to raise the standard of womanhood, to become better and more womanly women yourself, and to make others better and more womanly women? Are you raising that standard any by taking in girls who have been reared in luxury—who have been sheltered and protected and petted all their lives, and who perhaps do not even know that there is a standard of womanhood to be raised? Can those girls raise the standard any more than girls who have been in touch with the world, who have known sorrow and trouble, and yet, who are coming through it all sweet and pure and refined? How many fraternity girls remember that vow after they have taken it?"
"Yes," said the snub-nose girl, "I see— but are you living up to your principles?"
The K. K. G. was looking at her plate. "You are right," she said, "but we really can't afford to take in a girl who is poor and who has not a nice home in which to entertain."
"Can't afford it? Such a girl as Miss ___ would help your fraternity more than you think. She is refined, quiet, and womanly, and I am sure there is not a more beautiful girl on the hill.Her family, too, is perfectly honorable.

Would it not be better to take her in that some of those girls who have money—but what else? Not that I admire Miss — any more for desiring to be rushed. I think she is foolish therein, but it is too bad to see a deserving girl disappointed."
"I think," said the K. K. G. as she arose from the table. "I think I will speak to the girls about her today."
A GAME OF THE SEASON.
A rushing party is a very interesting amusement. It does not resemble a football game, although judging from its name you might be led to think so. It is not apt to become a very popular game, however, for the reason that it is not every one who can play it.
Then, if the curve of the right hand corner of the left ear is perfectly symmetrical, the question is put either that night or the next day. The question varies but little. Sometimes it is "to be or not to be" but offener it is "won't you be?"
In case there are two or three girls who are 'it' at the same time, the game is called progressive rushing, and is. of course, much more lively.
Four young ladies who are chosen to begin the game, group themselves about a sweet new girl who is "it." Then they rush ahead to ask questions and to volunteer sweet nonense, while the sweet new girl answers "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am" with charming grace. After spending exactly six minutes and forty-three seconds in making their tongues rush along at the most rapid rate possible, the pair rush away to the next room, where from behind the draperies they stare at the sweet, new girl, and compare notes upon the curve of the right hand corner of her left ear, and the tint of her lower lil.
And so the game goes on until all the girls but the one who is "it" have had a chance at the rushing.
In the meantime four other girls have rushed to group themselves about the sweet, new girl, and after spending the required six minutes and forty-three seconds in conversation, they too tucked away to the next room to compare notes, while the first quartette rushes back.
The prize, if won, is shared by all the girls
They were from the same town and had graduated from the high school together. When they both decided to come to the University, all their friends thought it would be "so very nice. They would be so much company for each other, you know and neither of them would get home sick."
HE AND SHE.
They came to Lawrence. After the first day or two he noticed that whenever he met her she was surrounded by a bevy of laughing chattering girls. How did she manage to get acquainted so quickly, he wondered. He wouldn't mind having a few such warm friends himself, for he felt decidedly lonesome and left out in the cold.
She was so engrossed in her new friends that she sometimes failed to see him when they met on the street or in the halls. He heard her say once after she had spoken to him in passing, "Oh it's just one of the boys from home, you know!"
After awhile one of the boys' fraternities suddenly awoke to the fact that they were missing a good thing in not taking him in. He felt himself growing hopelessly popular all at once and was completely overwhelmed by the new strange sense of his own importance. But he knew by this time what all these things meant and it was not long before some little ends of ribbon adorned his left lapel.
He met her in the hall. She broke away from a crowd of girls and rushing madly up to him excclaimed.
One day she appeared with a big bunch of ribbons pinned on her dress and after that she never saw him at all.
"Why, where have you been keeping yourself? I have just been dying to see you! Why don't you come up to see me offener?"
- * * * *
This story ought to end with the deserved humiliation of her and the equally deserved triumph of him. But it doesn't. He was just as glad to see her as
she was to see him and he went to call on her quite often after that.
The Freshman gets to town the first day the University opens and registers himself immediately. He buys his text books and has all his lessons prepared the first time his classes meet. He attends them all the first day and is settled down to regular work within a day or two.
The Junior also comes to town early. He spends the first few days in seeing the boys and meeting the new men. About the middle of the first week of school he casually drops into the Registrar's office and enrolls. Occasionally when he has nothing else to do he attends a class but on no account does he permit himself more than one a day during the first week or two. The pressing requests of his professors to "Please see the Dean and get your work settled as soon as possible," he treats with the calm disdain befitting one of his station. At the end of about two weeks he gets text books and leisurely makes up the work he has lost. He does not consider it good form to be doing regular work until school has been open at least three weeks and if he is a very experienced student he delays a week or two longer.
Women's League.
The student who finds the most fault with the club board is not always the one who has the most to eatwhen he is at home.
And these are things we cannot quite understand.
The member or members of the faculty who designed the present system for the registration and enrollment of students may feel proud of their work. Students who have made a close study of the interesting process of "working the faculty" for four studies or unearned credits and who are considered authority on these subjects express the opinion that the schemes which have worked in the pass to procure these benefits will work no longer.
The annual meeting of the Women's League will be held at the Chancellor's house on Thursday afternoon September 23rd, at 5 o'clock.
The holding of class recitations in the seminary rooms in Spooner library has been prohibited as it is said that the walls are so thin that students in other rooms are disturbed by the noise.

And Raises Money to Get Him—iowa
Also Giving Into the Game.
The position of coach has been offered to Wharton of Pennsylvania who was right guard on last years Pennsylvania team. It is thought that he will accept.
A press dispatch from Columbia, Mo., to a Kansas City morning paper, announces the fact that Adam Hill has solicited sufficient money among the University of Misou-alumni to employ a coach although the finances of the Athletic association are still in bad shape.
Word also comes from Iowa state uni. versity that Bull will be retained at that institution, Bull played center on the team in the season of '95 our own Dr. Woodruff playing left guard and Wharton right guard.
Should Missouri secure Wharton as it seems she will, the Pennsylvania style of play will be introduced at three of the four universities in the league and the standard of football will be materially raised in the west. This ought to be an additional stimulus to the candidates for the Kansas team to play swift ball. Every man who is available as a football man ought to turn out for the honor of his alma mater.

It will be no easy task to win league games this year and just "any old kind" of practice will be sure to bring disaster and defeat to the Kansas team. While it is fortunate for Kansas to have Dr. Woodruff she cannot hope to do much unless he has the active support of all the available men in the University.

University Altruism
And now that the school year is formally opened and study has begun in earnest with its little avocations to crowd the time, we begin to hear of "University spirit." We shall hear more of it tomorrow and the next day, and all through the term and the year. It is an ever popular topic, full of meaning, often too heedlessly discussed. It is altruism with Mr. White's interpretation. It seeks the social good, rather than the individual, but in attaining that attains the highest good of the individual. University spirit may be moral, or spiritual, or intellectual, or perhaps all three, but is not concerned entirely with sober, serious things. It fosters a desire in the student to repay in part the benefits he derives from the University. He can do this by responding with his talents as the various interests of the University may demand. For instance there is the demand of the athletic man that he devote a part of his time to representative University sports; of the fluent speaker and the skilled disputant that they win laurels for their school in oratory and gravels for graceful writers who have something to say that they exercise their intellectuals to the advancement of University journalism; and of the vast body of the blessed untainted that they relieve the blankness of their condition by attending all public exercises and contests in which members of the University engage, that they cheer and wave blue and crimson banners, blow trumpets and toot horns and cheer again and again with the old Rock Chalk. But University spirit means more than this. It means love for the University, love that speaks not from the mouth merely. It means a love embracing faulty and students, making them one in sympathy and interest. A proper University spirit will prompt a student to avoid the anomalies and the jars in University life. He will not seek such alliance as will alienate him from class-mates or schoolmates. He will not substitute clique life for University life, aristocracy for democracy. This is the beginning of a new year. The rushing season is on indeed. How much better for new students and old students as well if we
The Proper Way to Kick.
Under the new management of the WEEKLY there will be a radical change from the course this paper has formerly pursued. We expect to print all the news. When anything happens that will interest the public you may rest assured that it will be found by the WEEKLY staff for the WEEKLY staff is everywhere.
Some things which will be printed may make some people mad. We don't care if they do. When people get mad they kick. this don't worry us in the least, but when you kick don't go around secretly and roar to your friends trying to keep the WEEKLY from finding out that you are mad.
Write up your soreness and bring it to the WEEKLY or better yet tell one of the staff about it and space permitting.

we will publish your protest if it is a material one.
There is no personal spirit in what the WEEKLY says or does. We are no re- spector of persons and every one has the same opportunity. If we wake you up we are satisfied.
The Andrews incident has closed and everyone is happy, though possibly not quite content. The Brown corporation suffered a humiliating backdown, though their apprehensions of the dire results of President Andrews' withdrawal are relieved. The students joyfully welcome their favorite back, but lament the necessity for doing so. President Andrews, while glad to return to the University, which he has done so much to build up, is forced to withdraw the series of articles which he had prepared for the Cosmopolitan Magazine. In fact the latter is probably the only party to the fiasco which will be supremely content. With a great quantity of free advertising and an enormous increase in circulation to tide him through the cold months. Mr. John Brisben Walker can well sit in the comfort of his palatial residence on the Hudson and await the next appearance on the disturbed horizon of a man suited to conduct his great disinterested, philanthropic, Cosmopolitan University.
It is fitting that the eloquence of Christi-
nian A. Rohrer should have consecrated
the departure of the old water tank.
Neither is it strange that after that effort
the old tank should have retired from its
offices into the basement and refused to
hold water any longer. And so, with no
torturing exordium, here's to the new
tank; may its waters gush clear and cold.
Fill your tin cups to the brim, boys, and
drink her down.
We may have few stars in the football team this year, but we will have eleven strong, earnest men who will play as a unit. And after all this is what we need. We have had unsurpassed individual players before but have lacked team work. As Doctor Woodruff well says, "I prefer teachable, ordinary men to stars, for what is one man against eleven."
It must be a pleasure to an alumnus of the eighties to visit the University and find Chancellor Snow in the capacity of instructor once more. The students gladly welcome him back to us. We hope the relations thus re-established may serve the Chancellor's desire of getting into closer touch with the student body.

Here is a true story of blighted hopes. She was a sweet little thing, pretty and young—especially young. She had heard all about fraternities from their village swell, who was a Sigma Nu, and of course her head had been filled with an ambition to become a "sweet new girl."
SHARPS AND FLATS
The rain has come. The dust is gone.
We may be happy yet-you bet.
She came to Lawrence, and just exactly half a minute after she had stepped upon the depot platform, a dashing young girl had hugged her rapturously, and invited her to a rushing party. She accepted.
Out came her fluffiest dress and here

prettiest ribbons, out came a box of Menen's biorated Falcum. Pozzons's, or something of the sort; and out came two or three innocent looking pencils — also out came the stars.
Yes, she went to the party; and she came home. She looked in the mirror carefully, very, very carefully.
Oh — oh — ohl. Her eyebrows were a royal Phi Gam purple.
TO LATE, A SAD, SAD STORY.
He came to Lawrence with his head full of nothing, and his "box" full of clothes.
An inventory was taken, and it was found that he possessed 253 neckties and fifty-two pairs of cuffs.
That settled it. He was rushed.
They were sure of him - too sure.
On the fourth day a prominent Frater in University received a letter signed "Yours in — kai —" He rushed up to the hall.
"Boys, boys," he shouted out of breath "go slow! His father is a drayman and his mother takes in washing—and—and— we thought he was a millionaire."
Late, late, too late! The colors had al-
ready been pinned upon his coat. But—
he was never initiated.
"My dear," said the girl in brown, "why did you pledge yourself to the FI Phis when just this morning you told me you would not think of joining a fraternity as you could not afford it and as your parents did not approve?"
SIXTEEN TO ONE—AGAIN.
And the girl in brown walked away, murmuring something about 'that was the first time she ever knew the sixteen to one theory to work out, nohow.'
"Well," said the girl in blue, "I like to know how you could help it when sixteen girls got around you, all gabbing and hugging you at once?"
This is an interview that was not intended for an interview.
TABLE TALK.
The snub nosed girl, who said just what she pleased and did not care a snap, began it.
"I see they are rushing for all that's in it," she murmured, as she toyed with the sugar tongs.
"Yes," replied the K. K. G., glad of an opportunity to converse upon the beloved subject for she was as yet only a young K. K. G.
"We are having just the most fun, and the loveliest success. You see, some of our girls have been busier than the proverbial busy bee all summer long, writing to Kansas towns to find out who is coming to the University."
"Is that so?" said the snub nosed girl
"I is that so?" said the nub snosed girl "Yes," said the K. K. G., "but we often get disappointed in the girls from out of town. I think we ought to take in more town girls."
The snab nosed girl looked at the K.K.G and dropped her right eyelid.
"That reminds me,'she said,' What fraternites are rushing Miss —"
"None?" replied the K. K. G.
"None! Well! I'm surprised. She is one of the nicest, most refined girls I ever saw. She expects to be rushed—why shouldn't she when you have been so very friendly with her this summer? Any girl would who has been treated as she has been. I think you are making a mistake."
"Well," said the K. K. G., warming up to the subject, "she is poor, and we can't take her in."
"Ah." said the snub-nosed girl, raising her eyebrows.
"Now there is Miss — I doubt if she would be rushed at all if her father were not wealthy, and did not own a beautiful home. I hope you see what I mean."
"That your purpose is to raise the standard of womanhood, to become better and more womanly women yourself, and to make others better and more womanly women? Are you raising that standard try by taking in girls who have been teared in luxury—who have been sheltered and protected and petted all their lives, and who perhaps do not even know that there is a standard of womanhood to be raised? Can those girls raise the standard any more than girls who have been in touch with the world, who have known sorrow and trouble, and yet, who are coming through it all sweet and pure and refined? How many fraternity girls remember that vow after they have taken it?"
"Yes," said the snub-nose girl, "I see—but are you living up to your principles?" The K. K. G. looked up quickly, "What principles?"
The K. K. G. was looking at her plate.
"You are right," she said, "but we really can't afford to take in a girl who is poor and who has not a nice home in which to entertain."
"Can't afford it? Such a girl as Miss
—— would help your fraternity more than
you think. She is refined, quiet, and
womanly, and I am sure there
is not a more beautiful girl on the hill'
Her family, too, is perfectly honorable.

Would it not be better to take her in that some of those girls who have money—but what else? Not that I admire Mirem 'a any more for desiring to be rushed. I think she is foolish therein, but it is too bad to see a deserving girl disappointed."
"I think," said the K. K. G. as she arose from the table. "I think I will speak to the girls about her today."
A GAME OF THE SEASON.
A rushing party is a very interesting amusement. It does not resemble a football game, although judging from its name you might be led to think so. It is not apt to become a very popular game, however, for the reason that it is not every one who can play it.
Then, if the curve of the right hand corner of the left ear is perfectly symmetrical, the question is put either that night or the next day. The question varies but little. Sometimes it is "to be or not to be" but offener it is "won't you be?"
Four young ladies who are chosen to begin the game, group themselves about a sweet new girl who is "it." Then they rush ahead to ask questions and to volunteer sweet nonsense, while the sweet new girl answers "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am" with charming grace. After spending exactly six minutes and forty-three seconds in making their tongues rush along at the most rapid rate possible, the pair rush away to the next room, where from behind the draperies they stare at the sweet, new girl, and compare notes upon the curve of the right hand corner of her left ear, and the tint of her lower lip.
In the meantime four other girls have rushed to group themselves about the sweet, new girl, and after spending the required six minutes and forty-three seconds in conversation, they too rushed away to the next room to compare notes, while the first quartette rushes back.
In case there are two or three girls who are 'it' at the same time, the game is called progressive rushing, and is. of course, much more lively.
And so the game goes on until all the girls but the one who is "it" have had a chance at the rushing.
The prize, if won, is shared by all the girls.
They were from the same town and had graduated from the high school together. When they both decided to come to the University, all their friends thought it would be "so very nice. They would be so much company for each other, you know and neither of them would get home e sick."
HE AND SHE.
They came to Lawrence. After the first day or two he noticed that whenever he met her she was surrounded by a bevy of laughing, chattering girls. How did she manage to get acquainted so quickly, he wondered. He wouldn't mind having a few such warm friends himself, for he felt decidedly lonesome and left out in the cold.
She was so engrossed in her new friends that she sometimes failed to see him when they met on the street or in the halls. He heard her say once after she had spoken to him in passing. "Oh it's just one of the boys from home, you know!"
One day she appeared with a big bunch of ribbons pinned on her dress and after that she never saw him at all.
After awhile one of the boys' fraternities suddenly awoke to the fact that they were missing a good thing in not taking him in. He felt himself growing hopelessly popular all at once and was completely overwhelmed by the the new strange sense of his own importance. But he knew by this time what all these things meant and it was not long before some little ends of ribbon adorned his left lapel.
He met her in the hall. She broke away from a crowd of girls and rushing madly up to him exclaimed;
"Why, where have you been keeping yourself? I have just been dying to see you! Why don't you come up to see me often?"
This story ought to end with the deserved humiliation of her and the equally deserved triumph of him. But it doesn't.
He was just as glad to see her as
she was to see him and he went to call on her quite often after that.
The Freshman gets to town the first day the University opens and registers himself immediately. He buys his text books and has all his lessons prepared the first time his classes meet. He attends them all the first day and is settled down to regular work within a day or two.
The Junior also comes to town early. He spends the first few days in seeing the boys and meeting the new men. About the middle of the first week of school he casually drops into the Registrar's office and enrolls. Occasionally when he has nothing else to do he attends a class but no account does he permit himself more than one a day during the first week or two. The pressing requests of his professors to "Please see the Dean and get your work settled as soon as possible," he treats with the calm disdain befitting one of his station. At the end of about two weeks he gets text books and leisurely makes up the work he has lost. He does not consider it good form to be doing regular work until school has been open at least three weeks and if he is a very experienced student he delays a week or two longer.
And these are things we cannot quite understand.
Women's League
The student who finds the most fault with the club board is not always the one who has the most to eatwhen he is at home.

The annual meeting of the Women's League will be held at the Chancellor's house on Thursday afternoon September 23rd, at 5 o'clock.
The holding of class recitations in the seminary rooms in Spooner library has been prohibited as it is said that the walls are so thin that students in other rooms are disturbed by the noise.
The member or members of the faculty who designed the present system for the registration and enrollment of students may feel proud of their work. Students who have made a close study of the interesting process of "working the faculty" for four studies or unearned credits and who are considered authority on these subjects express the opinion that the schemes which have worked in the past to procure these benefits will work no longer.

And Raises Money to Get Him-iowa
Also Getting Into the Game.
MISSOURI WANTS W HARTON
A press dispatch from Columbia, Mo., to a Kansas City morning paper, announces the fact that Adam Hill has solicited sufficient money among the University of Misoualumni to employ a coach although the finances of the Athletic association are still in bad shape.
The position of coach has been offered to Wharton of Pennsylvania who was right guard on last years Pennsylvanian team. It is thought that he will accept.
Word also comes from Iowa state uni. university that Bull will be retained at that institution, Bull played center on the team in the season of '95 our own Dr. Woodruff playing left guard and Wharton right guard.
Should Missouri secure Wharton as it seems she will, the Pennsylvania style of play will be introduced at three of the four universities in the league and the standard of football will be materially raised in the west. This ought to be an additional stimulus to the candidates for the Kansas team to play swift ball. Every man who is available as a football man ought to turn out for the honor of his alma mater.
It will be no easy task to win league games this year and just "any old kind" of practice will be sure to bring disaster and defeat to the Kansas team. While it is fortunate for Kansas to have Dr. Woodruff she cannot hope to do much unless he has the active support of all the available men in the University.

[Continued form page 1.]
The Freshmen can never be relied upon and are too young to mix much in politics anyway. The Lawrence High School probably has a candidate for the presidency in Joe Cones, a newly pledged Beta. There is little talk about the athletic election, although a general intention prevails to elect only men who will be willing to devote their time to the promotion of athletic interests. From remarks and innuences let fall from time to time in the halls, I gather that a ticket something like this would be popular: At large, Dean J.W. Green; football, Walker, McKinnie; baseball, Prof. Adams, Williams; track athletic, Jackson, Alexander; boating, Rose; Rose, tennis, Prof. Clark, Boone. There are whims in politics, however, as in everything else, and relentless waves of public opinion may dash the hopes of 'friends.'

FOOTBALL GOSSIP
Moss, who was the formidable right guard on the Varsity last year, was shaking hands with friends on the hill Tuesday. Moss has been playing tennis and boating around the northern pleasure resorts and at present has charge of the boat house at Washington park in Kansas City.
- The training table has been started and the men will be ready to line up on McCook Gold Monday.
Doctor Woodrufi was out of town Wednesday and Prof. Cowan took charge of the practice.
"Fatty" Sherman put on a suit the first of the week and has practised daily. Sherman was sub-guard last year and shows up well in practise.
Johnny Crooks was on the hill this week. He expects to study medicine in K. C. this fall.
Nat Foster who played right tackle on the team last year was in town a short time Tuesday. Nat is looking well and weighs over 200. He has played base ball all summer with the Gardner, Kansas. team and is in excellent condition. Foster left on an afternoon train for Olathe where he intends to participate in two baseball games between the Olathe team and the Decoyets of Kansas City.
The candidates for the various positions on the team have engaged in light practice during the week under the direction of Coach Woodruff. Monday, instead of the general round of kicking, the men were lined up in squads of four, the candidates for balf were sent down the field thirty or forty yards, the ball was kicked to them and they attempted to form interference and return the ball as far as possible before being beaked by the men that came down the field after the kick.
Kaull, who played guard on the Varsity team of '95, was in town the first of the week. Kaull expressed a desire to get back into the game, but said it would be impossible on account of business engagements.
It is early in the season to hazard any prediction as to the outcome of the season's work. But, with the prospects growing brighter each day one cannot but feel that all that is necessary to ensure a season of brilliant victories, in which defeat has no part, is that the student body shall give the team and management their cordial and enthusiastic support. With this assured we may view the present with equanimity and look into the future with delight.

Opera House Monday Sept. 20.
Human nature loves to be humbugged, P. T. Barnum used to say, and the public loves to be artistically gulled. This desire may be fully gratified here when Herrmann the Great Company, headed by Leon Herrmann, the chosen successor of Herrmann the Great, and Adelaide Herrmann, the ever popular and beautiful widow of the great magician, with their company of twenty people, will appear at the next.
The Herrmanns this year have unquestionably the greatest magical performance in the world. Leon Herrmann has created the greatest enthusiasm wherever he has appeared. For years past he has been a star in necromancy in Europe. He recently made his first appearance in Chicago, where he played to crowded houses and received almost an ovation nightly.
Adelaide Herrmann is, of course, a leading favorite the world over. She has appeared before every crowned head in Europe, and her wonderful spectacular dances are the most bewildering and beautiful that have ever been seen. Many have tried to imitate her, but dismal failure has been the result, and today Adelaide Herrmann is the foremost woman on the stage in spectacular dancing. She devises all her dances herself, and with the thousands of colored lights that are used in their production, the graceful Mme. Herrmann looks more like a fairy queen than one of the earth. The "fire dance" which she will give here for the first time, has already made a tremendous sensation. She appears in this dance to be actually burning up in an immense pillar of fire, and the spectacle is one of the most curious as well as beautiful that could be imagined. It is safe to say the Hermanns will receive a royal welcome here.

"JUST WHAT WE WANT."
So Says Hugh Blair About the Employment of a Pennsylvania Coach by Missouri.
The engagement of Wharton of Pennsylvania, to coach the Missouri team has created great excitement in football circles.
Mr. Hugh Blair, when seen this morning by a WERNLY reporter, said, 'This is good news to me. I had not heard of it before, and was afraid that the interest in Missouri was flagging. We want them to have a good team. They can't have too good a team to suit me. We expect to be pretty good ourselves, and we want Iowa and Missouri to be able to keep up their end of of the game. An inter-Pennsylvania league out here in the west isn't a bad idea, is it? The people will be wild to see the eastern play of these three western teams. It will be the making of football in the Missouri valley and and we can soon compete with the northwest. It will also have a rejuvenating effect on general athletics. No sir, these opposing teams can't be too good to suit me. We can't afford to beat Missouri 30 to o again this year. We would soon be unable to get out a crowd to a game.

THEY ARE PLEASED.
EVERYBODY LIKES THE WEEKLY IN ITS NEW FORM
Kindly Criticism from Professors, Students and Others—It Was a Sensation to Some, a Surprise to All.
Vol V. No. 3.
More students read the WEEKLY last week than ever before. They read it and they liked it.
When the usual student crowd received their Sunday's mail, the letters from the folks at home, wafered missives from fond sweethearts, magazines and everything thing else in the newspaper line was thrown aside in order that they might look the WEEKLY over.
As soon as its contents became known little groups of students could be seen gathered here and there commenting upon it. To some it was a decided sensation, in fact, it made men pale who had designs which they did not wish disclosed Said one to a WEBLY man, "You have a vivid imagination"; said another staggering under a load of ambitions, "Do you really intend to publish everything?" And yet another with difficulty restraining his passions, "I won't be interviewed. Just put me down as one who loves his fellow men."
But to others the WEEKLY was a welcome surprise.
"I LIKE YOUR IDEA."
said Chancellor Snow. "You have adopted the form of the dailies at the big universities and can publish the news better and up to date. Of course, if it were intended for a literary effort, the old form would be better. Be sure to published everything that will be of interest to the University. May be some day," he continued, thinking of the future of the University of Kansas, as he always is, "Maybe, when we get two thousand students, we too can have a daily like Michigan and Leland Stanford and others."
PROF HOPKINS IS PLEASED.
"Yes, I am well pleased with the change in the form of the WEEKLY," said Prof. Hopkins when asked how he liked the edition of last week. "The old form was neither newspaper nor a literary magazine, but a sort of combination which does not give satisfaction as the only college paper. Your new form is like the Daily Princetonian and dailies published at other Universities. You have a distinct advantage in publishing a folio in that you can publish all the news up to date in a newsway.
A FORMER EDITOR
"You are improving the WEEKLY" said Mr. Leon Flint, "and I like it. Your enterprise is to be commended and you ought to be well supported by the students, which is important. You may be sure, however, if you make as interesting a sheet each week as you did last week that you will have readers."
KIND WORDS FROM PROF, NFWSON.
"Your last issue of the WEEKLY was the best ever published at the University of Kansas" said Prof. Newson chancing to meet one of the reporters in the hall one day this week," you used good English, the proof was well read and the change from the almanac form to that of the regulation weekly newspaper is a very commendable feature. It was not dry and tedious but was bright and interesting from beginning to end. Keep it up the remainder of the term. Don't abuse anyone and be careful about the interests of the University but this does not necessarily mean that you are to be dry, prosy and stale. 15
"It itens to me, however, if I may offer a criticism that the present form is rather larger than necessary unless you have a large active force to do the work. You will find that the present size of the paper will make you work to get the necessary copy to fill it. And if your paper were not so large you might issue an extra edition occasionally when there was anything of importance as a football game or other news in which the students are interested especially. I did not like at first your idea of publishing all the news, as you said editorially you intended to do, but after some reflection I concluded that probably you said more than you meant, as of course it would not do to publish anything which would give an erroneous impression to the public concerning the University. We have enough of that in journalism as it is, without adding anything to it. Taken as a whole, I think the WEEKLY board is to be congratulated on its enterprise and should be encouraged in its attempt to give us an improvement in the journalism of the University."
A FORMER EDITOR'S OPINION.
you do as well every week as you did last you will reflect credit on the University. We have long needed such a paper here."
A CONTEMPORARY
The Lawrence World comments as follows: 'The University WEEKLY this year has made a new departure in college journalism. It has adopted scare heads and elaborate reports of happenings just like newspapers do. The experiment is working well, as the publishers find that the students like it better than the old stale, essay way of writing.
GENERAL ATHLETIC NOTES.
Sanderson put on a suit and came out to practice for the first time Wednesday evening. Sanderson played good ball last year and should show an improved form this season.
The first and second teams lined up against each other for the first time Wednesday afternoon. Only ten minutes of play was indulged in by the teams, but this period will be increased as the season advances and the men become better trained.
There are eight men at the training table at the present time and great attention is being paid to the physical welfare of the men. All bruises and bumps are promptly attended to and an effort is made to prevent any "early in the season," accidents which are so likely to take a man out of the game during the greater part of the season.
At a meeting of the Adams Street Tennis club Tuesday morning Pref. Sayre was elected president of the club and a committee appointed to select a suitable location for new courts for the club.
Voights, Mosse and Foster of last year's team are in college and were out for the first time Monday evening.
Kennedy has been troubled by a lame ankle in the preliminary practice, but expects to be in condition for the first game against Washburn on Wednesday.
Ellis, who is a prominent candidate for full back, is complaining of a sore leg.
The candidates for the team lined up for the first time on McCook field Monday afternoon. About thirty-five men were out in suits and the outlook is decidedly encouraging for a good team. All of the old and several of the new men show up well in the practice.
The men were divided into two squads and put through a snappy signal practice. The new formations were novel and all of the boys were pleased with the work. The practice becomes more interesting from day to day and is witnessed by large crowds of students.
The first game is with Washburn on the 20th, during the Topeka carnival. The team will be accompanied on the trip by a large delegation of students who will make the air dense with their Rock Chalk talk.
INTER-FRAT FOOTBALL.
A Lc. aue to be Po. and *od a Meeting*
Galled Gallet Perfect
Arrangements
Last year for the first time in the history of base ball at K. U. the gate receipts paid the expenses of the game. Great enthusiasm was shown and all the games were liberally patronized.
This was due in part to the interest excited among the students by the games of the inter-frat league. These games were of a high order of merit—but little beneath that of the varsity team itself—and no doubt in the future will be a regular and pleasant feature of the spring season.
The gentlemanly rivalry of the various fraternities will stimulate and increase the attention bestowed upon the sport by the students, and may also be a means of developing good material for the 'Varsity team
In this connection we wish to suggest that the season is ripe for the formation of an inter-frat football league.
In order to complete arrangements or these games a meeting will be held in the WEEKLY office Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Each fraternity send at least one representative to this meeting.
Students desiring to make up back Latin should see Mr. Katherman. A class has been organized and class work will begin at once. Every day at 4 in Latin room.

THE BARBS WIN.
RALPH G. MKINNIE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS.
The Contest Close and Exciting-Four
Votes would Have Changed the
Result But Evryone Is
Happy Now-The Re-
sult in Other
Classes.
Ralph G. McKinnie, the caucus nominee of the Barbs, was elected president of the senior class Wednesday, defeating Webster Wilder, the fusion candidate of the Betas and the Y. M. C. A. The vote stood 43 to 47.
But while these people were doing all in their power to elect the fusion nominee there were staunch supporters arrayed against them led by Mr. Hall, Mr. Snyder, Mr. Walker, Mr. Jackson and others. There were working sisters on this side also prominent among them being Miss Crisis, Miss Gephart, Miss Crawford and others. Then there were the Sigma Chis and the Phi Psis who are not admirers of the Betas.
The election of Mr. McKinnie is the culmination of a contest which has waged in intermittent fever fits since the opening day of school. The first move was made on Tuesday when at the Barb caucus Mr. McKinnie received 29 votes, Mr. Shutt 4 votes, Mr. Loomis 4 votes and Miss Hickey 4 votes. The nomination was made unanimously practically pledging the solid Barb vote to the nominee. Mr. W. W. Douglas was chairman. There must always be some, however, who are sore, and those who lost out at the caucus immediately went to work for Mr. Wilder. Prominent among these were Mr. Clark, Mr. Cheadle and Mr. Smith, who had their happiest moments just before the election when things looked darkest for the Barbs. Then there were Mr. Crisman, Mr. Sears and Miss Radford, who worked with might and main.
Mr. Cheadle representing the element that is for purity in politics went to the managers on both sides with fifteen votes which he controlled and which he offered to place for that candidate whose supporters would support his candidate for the Annual He finally supported the fusion ticket.
The big meeting was called to order by Mr. J. O. Hall president of the class last year. Without preliminaries the class proceeded at once to nominations.
There was for some moments a painful silence, each side wishing to nominate last. Finally Mr, Snyder rose and placed in nomination the name of Mr. McKinnie. In the course of his nominating remarks he made it clear how Mr. McKinnie came to be a candidate.
Then a peculiar thing occurred. Away back in the corner of the room Mr. Crisman arose. He said in part: "Mr. President, I rise to nominate one who does not represent a fraternity, one who does not represent the Barbs, one who does not represent any clique or gang"—(a voice) "does he represent any body?"—"but one who will represent everyone. I nominate Mr. Wilder." The vote was then taken and stood 43 for Mr. McKinnie to 37 for Mr. Wilder.
Mr. Wilson was elected vice president, Miss Crawford secretary, and Mr. Wilkie Clock treasurer.
Mr. Cheadle, tried to secure the election of a manager of the annual at once. But his plans failed. The class adjourned with the best of feeling prevailing, old enemies going down the hall arm in arm.
JUNIOR ELECTION.
The Juniors had their election of officers Friday and the result was a victory for the Barba in the election of Miss Bertha Bowen for class president.
Prior to the election great interest had been taken in the selection of candidates. The Barbs in caucus nominated Miss Bowen on the first ballot. The majority of the element in the Barb caucus who had supported Mr. Jewett, the Y. M. C. A candidate, bolted the nominee of the caucus and joined forces with the Phi Delts in support of John Fletcher. Fraternity people who could not support Mr. Fletcher decided to vote for Miss Stone.
The meeting for election was called to order by Mr. Fratt, the president of the class last year, who briefly stated the object of the meeting and called for nominations for president, Miss Stone arose and instead of making a nomination-briefly stated her opposition to factional lights in the junior class. "Our class" she said, "should not be so divided that the Y. M. C. A. are in one corner of the room, the Y. W. C. A. in another, the non-fraternity people in the third, the fraternity people in the fourth, the chaperones in the center and all playing "pussy wants a corner." Miss Stone's words were echoed in a speech by Miss Whitman. Both voiced the sentiments of the class as shown by hearty applause.
The name of John Fletcher was presented by L. L. Cowley. Miss Stone was nominated by Miss Johnson, and Miss Bowen by Mr. Lofty. On the first ballot Miss Bowen received 39 votes, Mr. Fletcher 22, Miss Stone 9 and Miss Whitman, 1. The election of Miss Bowen was made unanimous.
Mr. Fletcher was elected vice president unanimously, Miss Stone and Miss Riggs were named for secretary, Miss Stone was elected. Mr. Alexander and Mr. Sutton were the nominees for treasurer. Mr. Alexander was elected. Mr. Rose was unanimously elected sergeant-at arms.
At the close of the election, Mr. Pratt thanked the class in a few select words for the honors conferred on him, and then introduced Miss Bowen, who was received with a storm of applause. Miss Bowen thanked the class for the honor of the election and added: "we as Juniors have duties confronting us which we did not have when we were Freshmen or Sophomores, and I heartily endorse the sentiment uttered by others of the class, and promise that as president I will do all in my power to discourage factional strife, and try to build up a friendly unity in all our class actions." Dave McFarland was unanimously elected president of the sophomore class on Friday.
Δ PLEA FOR HARMONY
Miss Elizabeth Stone Addresses Stiring
Words to the Junior Class Members
A strong plea for harmony of class action was made at the meeting of the Juniors yesterday morning. This was the annual meeting of the class and was called for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year.
The address was made by one of the young ladies—Miss Elizabeth Stone. After the president had called the class to order she gained recognition and addressed some telling remarks to her fellow members.
"Now we are not manifesting the spirit which should animate us," she continued. "We must stand shoulder to shoulder, remembering first of all that we are Juniors, and members of these other organizations afterward. We want to make this a big year with spreads and plays and parties. But to conduct these properly there must be a unity of purpose and harmony of action. I appeal to you my classmates to stand together."
"It is with sorrow that I see my class rent with facialist fores" began Miss Stone. "On one side are the Y. M. C. As. and on another the Y. W. C. As. Over there are the barbs and scattered between are the different frats.
Nor was the appeal unheeded. The effect of this address was electrical. In the result which it produced it reminded one greatly of the memorable address of W J. Bryan at the last national democratic convention, just previous to his nomination for the presidency.
When the time came to elect a secretary of the junior class, Miss Stone's name was suggested, and on the first ballot she reexposed an overwhelming majority.
When the newly elected president, Miss Bowen, made her inaugural address, she took occasion to commend the remarks of Miss Stone. Two of the principal officers having thus placed themselves on record as lovers of peace, it is safe to infer that the policy of the new Junior administration will be to promote harmony and encourage unity of action upon the part of the members.
Avoid the Rush.
Students who are expecting to attend athletic events on McCook field this year should save money by purchasing membership tickets in the athletic association. Single admission to all games this year will be 50 cents. Membership tickets costs $2. These tickets admit to all athletic contests given on McCook field whether in base ball, football or track athletics. Everybody is going to the games and everybody wants to get a ticket. Buy early and avoid the rush.

Oh O'ave saw the Gineril; he's 'lokin' vury

Well,
He's ridden in the cushion cairs and livin' looke a welf.
On the door mats of the farmers are the pho, too or his fate.
An'hé drops d'e the money question while He's talking dollar whate.
Oh the Gimberl'in a sly od dog, just listen to the cans
A-rattlin'in in the milk house where he's gone to find the puns.
Oh he's firld'n'wid the farmer's wife an' hugging her girls.
An' givtn'him the mime they're too goo for jinks an' carls.
Oh Gimberl'in just takes the brist, the dark mate and the wing.
We have no band to grate I'on, But we're mighty grab to mate you. An'你 be we're go'n to trace you

Oh General we're sorry you was druv here by
Oh Generali we're sorry you was drunk here by distress—
By the famine that's in Inju' an'in Europe more or less.
We're sorry for the shortage that has come in Inju' whate.
We're sorry for the Inju' hogs that makes our bacon swate,
We're sorry for the Inju' steers in Inju' cattle pens,
We're sorry for the Inju' stroke that's shut down Inju' heens.

An' Ginnerl, you say you've come to visit quite a while;
Then it's here's to skin' at you as we have a little smile.
Don't feel that you are company; just feel at home an free.
To eat a cold snack in the night—like one the families.
For you are our old army friend, An' Ginnerl, we know
The best we have is none too good to make yer whislers grow.
Ant' while you drill the tarriers at work these give way?
Remember that we love ye

The Groping of the Blind.
The number of those who go through life blind to the beauties of the great world about them is not greater in proportion than the number of those who go through a university without receiving a university training. If "it is not all of a life to live" neither is it all of a university training to dig into books.
He who goes forth into the world weighted with knowledge would fare better if he knew the ways of the world and the estimate which the world places on such knowledge as he carries. If this seems like saying that the student must have had a certain experience before he has had an opportunity to get it,
nevit it be remembered that a university is a miniature world in itself. The student who, outside of his own department, visits seminary and workshop, lecture and debate; who takes part in athletics and in class politics, works in the social and religious organizations—that student is getting a university training. All others might as well be in a one-horse college or be a member of a school by correspondence. Notwithstanding all that may be said in regard to the breadth of University work, the freshman who gives almost his entire attention to the work outlined for his first year, is to be commended. He is laying a good foundation. Very few of the men who in their first year attempt to astonish the natives, or to run the University, ever stay to graduate. But in the last years of his course, the student owes something to the social, religious and political life of his alma mater.
The Orange published at Baker college has a new exchange policy. This week's issue comes to us with a marked announcement as follows:
If you have received a copy of the Orange, we wish to call your attention to the fact that unless you notify us that you do not want the paper you will be considered a subscriber.
Really, is not the Orange too severe? As a matter of delicacy we hesitate to come right out plainly and acknowledge that we do not want the paper, while we confess it is a luxury which in these hard times would be expensive to pay for. But then to do without the Orange entirely would be to deny ourselves rural pastel gems like this for instance:
Standing on the steps of Centenary hall and casting our evs around on the familiar scenes of the campus, a new thrill of life seemed to course through our eyes. We spoke with young people reclining in the pleasant shade intupon upon their newly imposed tasks.
After all the Orange is well worth paying for and we hope that every college journal in the state will subscribe. There is such an ever present effect of the "rigorous process of combing" we are forced to remark in the language of our contemporary: "We look almost in vain for the hay seeds."
Kansas City Journal: Mr. T. W Higginson is a member of the visiting committee of the Harvard overseers, and is old-fashioned enough to suppose that he is intended in this capacity to visit. He finds to his surprise that other members of his committee do not so understand their functions, but think they can do what is desired of them by looking over the catalogue. Mr. Higginson well says that "fifteen minutes spent in the recitation room are worth more in giving a knowledge of the general aim and plan of a course than learning the whole programme by heart." How it would embarrass the average teacher of a western college, appointed for denominational or political reasons, to be required to visit the classrooms of the teachers they employ. And, indeed, what would they do there?
That too much of the effervescence commonly called college spirit interferes with the work of a university, nobody will deny; but let us not think that we approach perfection as we eliminate all such demonstrations. The early settlers waged indiscriminate war on the forests and today their descendants are planting trees to make good the loss. The connection between college spirit and the efficiency of a college may become quite as apparent as that between forest and rainfall.
Already the club steward swaggeath or is busted; the fraternity man hath placed a first class mortgage, or is muttering "sour grapes"; the intricacies of the schedule are as nothing to the new student; likewise he hath sized up his profs; the schemes and petitions of the old sudent have gone the way of all the earth; the registrar goeth to his meals on time—in short the University, like Kipling's ship, has "found herself."
Hugh Blair, who is one of the best friends the Athletic association has ever had, was right when he said that we ought to be glad that Missouri is trying to get Wharton. The prospective strength of Missouri and Iowa ought to urge us on. We do not want simply to win. We want a contest which will develop an athletic spirit in the west.
Many of the boys who smoke beautifully ornamented pipes while in school, carefully pack them away in their trunks during vacation. There are qualms of conscience at home which are quelled when the boys get together.
In another column is printed the report of the Kansas men at the Lake Geneva conference setting forth the objects for which the college Young Men's Christian associations are to work. There are
The seminary rooms in the library are now opened at eight o'clock. Heretofore they have not been opened until nine. One hour is not a long time to spend in the library, but it is a long time to gain from the librarians.
eleven of these, all good and proper. The twelfth object is not mentioned and we deem it would not have been sanctioned by the conference. We go farther and hope it is not the rule unwritten though understood of the associations in the other colleges throughout the state to attempt to manipulate politics. This does not come within the scope of a religious organization and is in ill taste where is expected to include members of all factions who have a Christian faith. Is it not time for this unwritten twelfth rule to be formally or titally repealed? The Young Men's Christian association is not a popular organization in the University of Kansas. Perhaps the suspicion of this twelfth rule is the cause.
This is the time of the year when the Freshman wonders why he has such a warm friend in his landlady. Doubtless he will know later when he learns that he pays more room rent than older students.
This will be a gay winter in University society. The fathers of a great many of the socially elect have sold their wheat at good prices
SHARPS AND FLATS.
They were just two girls passing through the lower hall, but they were very, very thirsty and wanted a drink very much. Timidly they sauntered by the new water tank, but it was surrounded to a depth of about ten feet by a solid mass of men each wildly gesticulating and discussing the football prospects or the new man the frat had got or the class elections or most anything like that.
The girls saw that nothing less than a flying wedge would break that solid phalanx so they passed sadly on.
"I wonder why they don't put that new water tank where the girls could get a little good from it, too," said one, a new student
"Oh my, that's not intended for the girls' answered the other who had been at K. U. before. "You know girls never do get as thirsty as boys do."
And then girls don't count for much down in the lower hall, anyhow.
The time has again arrived when the librarians announce in sepulchral whispers the time worn fact that "these walls are just like a sieve and you can hear a whisper all through the building "
"Well, is that the way they play football, just run after the ball and fall all over each other that way?" said one as they watched the men practicing on the campus. "Yes!" said the other and what horribly dirty old suits and how hot and dirty they look. And I should think they would get themselves all scratched up." "They do," said the one decisively. "football is a tough brutal game and I'm sure I shall never watch it played."
This was because they had only been here a week. About the time of the Thanksgiving game their conversation will be something like this:
They won't know any more about football than they did before but you see they think they do which makes a great difference.
"Oh have you been out to see the boys practice lately?" "Yes and they do splendily. They say we won't have a bit of trouble in beating M. U. You know the quarter back's shoulder was put out of place and the half back had two or three ribs broken and one of the other boys got such a blow on the head, they thought he was going to brain fever but they are all getting better now and will be able to play in the big game." "Oh. I must go out to see them. It's so exciting and the boys do look so sweet in their suits."
The Kansas City Journal says the attendance at K. U. this year will reach the 1500 mark. We wouldn't wonder ourselves. ___
It was in the class room. He was some thing of a literateur, and was able to talk quite glibly. What was more he had a Bostonian accent which must have been acquired anywhere rather than in the east. The professor called upon him to recite upon a topic that had been gone over the day before.
"Well—ah—excuse me. The fact is that I am seriously disturbed in my mind as to whether I am able to elucidate the statements which were propounded to us yesterday. It is a very interesting question to me indeed; and the fact is that it is a matter of old reading rather than recent reading." And the professor, with a far away look in his eyes, turned over the next card.
"Well, really, Professor I can not tell any more than what was told yesterday. "Tell that."
We have read somewhere that the test of a teacher is not how many questions he asks that his pupils answer readily, but

The average young man thinks that the average young woman is particularly fond of flattery. Therein he is wrong, for deep down in her heart the average college girl of today does not care to indulge in personalities, and flattery is always personal, A dose of unreserved frankness is as good as a tonic.
Judging from the light that beems from behind their love languid lids, the University future-in-law's are happy once more.

A prominent K. U. professor's definition of dancing: "A clinching in time to music and then a skirmishing around a hall.
Better keep your mouth shut and say nothing than to utter a lot of words that mean nothing.
"A man talking to a bright girl" observed a clever University girl the other day, "makes me think of our team of horses. The off horse pulls along very well until he gets the near horse to trotting in good shape, then he lags behind and lets her do all the pulling."
Don't think that the girl who laughs the most is the happiest; her unceasing smiles may veil an aching heart Don't think that the girl who is always frowning is ill-tempered; she is only trying to "look smart."
He was a Freshman and she was a Senior, but he didn't know it.
right, he included "No," she answered laconically.
"Are you going to the reception to night," he asked.
she answered accordingly:
"You're not! Why—why, it is to be the biggest event of the season, they told me."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, and a dress affair too. Do you suppose I can go without a dress coat, because I haven't any?"
"I presume so."
"But maybe it is a select affair. They sent out invitations, I got one. Say—I'll find out and tell you."
The next day he rushed up to her exclaiming, "Say! Anybody can go. You'd better go and get acquainted with some of the students. You must feel very lonely among all these strangers."
"Thank you," she said, "but I have all the acquaintances I care for."
"Why! Have you been here before?"
"Yes; I'm a Senior."
"Oh!" he gasped, his eyes and his mouth wide open from astonishment.
And the moral is—but that is a secret to be found out in some future Senior class meeting.
She was a gay young girl who had spent several "seasons" in University society. He was a "new man" whom she was to pilot through the intricacies of making his debut.
He invited her to a 15 cent hop. "By the way," he said, "What is your address?" "Oh, any hackman can tell you," she answered in sweet simplicity.

The new system of registration is working exactly as it was intended that it should. The dean's duplicate-card shows where the student ought to be and also prevents him from carrying his enrollment card in his pocket for several weeks without being found out. Incidentally it also prevents the double card scheme of getting registered in four classes with a record of only three in the registrar's office.
There has been a rumor going the rounds that the K. C. Medics are preparing to practically kill off our football team this year. It may be said, however, that a repetition of last year's difficulties will be impossible; the rules will be strictly enforced and no professionalism will be allowed. Strict attention will also be paid to the selection of officials.
The effort now being made to organize a new debating society as a rival to the Adelphic should be encouraged by the members of the Adelphic as well as by others of the student body. A good natural rivalry between two such societies would in all probability be of more assistance in the upbuilding of both of them than any other one thing. It would make such of them stronger than one can hope to be when occupying the field alone. By all means let the new society be organized and let our debaters go into training at once for the Interstate contest next spring.

HESTER AT HARVARD.
HESTER AT HARVARD.
He Writes Entertainingly of His Surroundings There.
He savs in part:
Tom Hester has arrived at Harvard and writes entertaining of his new surroundings to one of the WEEKLY staff.
"The most disagreeable thing that I have heard is the assertion that one stood no show on the football field without social position and being on the inside. The Kansas men think this but I shall not believe it until I see it for myself. If I do not see it it shall wash my hands of football and study law. They say the law school makes a fellow grind fearfully and that it will be very difficult for me to get an M. A. on the side." The Harvard M. A. degree requires two years of very stiff work above the University of Kansas Bachelor's degree.
- * * "Well this famous Boston is a great place and strange to say it comes up to my expectations. The street urchins calling papers are polite and use correct language. Baked beans is the standard dish at every street corner restaurant and and the first women I saw wore blue stockings, short hair and spectacles and were headed for the library with a very severe mien.

Best of all, down town I came upon Faneuil hall from the back and knew it at a glance, by introspection I guess. I saw Bunker Hill Monument in the distance but haven't been to see it yet, and haven't seen Boston Commons.

Washburn and K. U. Could Not Agree on the Terms of the Carnival Football Game.
GAME DECLARED OFF.
The game for next Wednesday with Washburn has been declared off. The original agreement had been that the varsity should have sixty per cent of the receipts, but Washburn endowed to secure better terms. Manager Reed refured to accept anything but the original agreement so the game was declared off.
Yesterday Coach Woodruff consented to take half of the receipts but Washburn had already arranged a game with the Haskell Indians
Indians Manager Leland of Wasbburn, when asked about the matter over the phone said:
saw.
"I am sorry that the game could no have come off as scheduled, but we could not afford to lose money in order to play K. U. If Mr. Reed would have consented to compromise we would gladly have played. but Mr. Woodruff's proposition came too late. I hope we can arrange a game later in the season."
The opening concert with the new organ will take place the last week of October. Over 500 tickets have already been sold for the two concerts and an effort to dispose of 500 more is being made as $1,000 will be required when the organ is in place. There will probably be a rush for tickets a short time before the opening concert as it will be one of the best entertainments of the season. It will be purely a home talent affair.
Again the Law school will sport a paper. The Kansas Lawyer, during the past, has experienced many ups and downs but at last it has adopted a practical and satisfactory plan. Instead of depending on advertisement and subscription, shares will be issued until the amount in the treasury will be sufficient to guarantee the ensuing year's publications. The first issue will appear in October.
The K. U lecture course committee is composed of Profs, Olin, Dunlap and Barber. The committee is making arrangements for a number of popular speakers and expects to put the tickets on sale about the middle of October.
Prof. Walker, the new professor of Latin, reports one hundred and fifteen registrations in the department of Latin. This is double the number enrolled in the same department last year.
Prof Penny has lately received word that the pipe organ is completed and will be here on October 6th. It will take nearly two weeks to put it up in the chapel.
Prof. Farrell will make his debut this fall with an Italian opera in Florence. He will resume his work in K. U. after January 1, '08.

WAS THERE AN ELECTION?
There Sesma To Be a Conflict of Opinion in the Lack Department.
There was an exciting time in the senior law class Friday, the occasion being an election of officers. Reporters were excluded and information is lacking for an unbiased account. Two communications have been handed to the WEEKLY, however evidently treating the affair from opposite standpoints. The first account is entitled:
On Friday of this week a meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers of the Senior law class of 98. On the hour set for the meeting when all were assembled except a few on whom the others were waiting before selecting the temporary chairman, Miss Hessie M. Reid, the female orator and idol of the class walked into the room and called the class to order, and giving no reason for doing so proceeded with the business. Motions were made to adjourn, amendments were also made, but notwithstanding all this they proceeded to the business of the hour. Nominees were placed in the field and ballotteu pon. No one receiving a majority the president announced another ballot, edelaring that only the three receiving the highest number of votes would be voted upon and all other votes cast would not be counted as they would be illegal and void. Appeal was made and the affirmative put and decision rendered without ever putting the negative. Thus all through the election she (Miss Reid) exhibited the strictest authority not parliamentary ever seen in this school or in any civilized country, even in the walls of congress or of parliament.
Finally the class desiring to honor her, regardless of her tyrany and oppression, through Mr. Morgan nominated her for football manager. This she declared out of order, but notwithstanding this she received an overwhelming majority of votes. The time being at hand to close, and she thinking she had won the laurels and doubtless the heart of many a young student of Blackstone, the meeting stood adjourned.
Notice of contest has been duly filed and the case will be tried some time next week.

ANOTHER VIEW.
The Senior Law Class Election was held in the west reading room at 10:30 a.m. Friday. In the absence of last year's president and vice president Miss Reid the secretary presided. When Mr. Layton, acting secretary mentioned the object of the meeting, viz, the election of officers the "new men" set up a bowl for postpon-

ment, but members were not in their favor and on motion nominations were made.
Layton, our orator, was elected, secretary, Stewart, the popular "new man" will act as treasurer and has the wish of the acting president "that the burdens will not be too heavy."
The first nomination for president was made by Mr. Lloyd who in eloquent language discussed the fine character and standing of his chosen one - Mr. Sherman. Other names - Kriztinger, Dunn, Olston and Layton were mentioned but Mr. Sherman receiving a majority of votes was elected on second ballot. On account of the repeated howls, growls, and grunts from Morgan, French and others, the chair made some very decisive though just rulings.

Tennis Tournament.
On account of the languishing condition of things no tennis tournament was attempted last year.
Great interest was aroused among the tennis players of the University by a tennis tournament held during the latter part of the week on the Adams street courts. The last tournament held in Lawrence was in October, 1895. The games were held on the Adams and Rhode Island street courts and resulted in a victory for the Stanley boys—Claude and Will—in doubles, and of Will Stanley in the singles.
There were more entries in the tournament just held at that any previous one Ed. Carroll who took second in the state tournament at Emporia and Web Wilder who retains the championship of northeast Kansas, were entered, also Stanley who won in 1805.
The games were well patronized and attracted some attention and it is probable that tennis will again become one of the most popular of our lighter athletic sports.
