in blue. lllue glass is rendering many n
' poor devil" happy, suul causing tliu sick
(o take up their buds ami walk. We
manage to get what is due us, lint wo
have a notion to get some blue circulars
printed, asking people to subscribe. "We
think it will operate like a charm.
Ye loral in qucstof news is often coin
polled to observe scenes, which make the
heart sad, life a woeful existence. It's pit
iable to see a young Prep or a gallant Sen
ior approach her, and tremblingly speak
n lew words to her, and then walk away
with that agonizing expression. And it
doi.t make matters any butter, to ask what's
the matter.
We have seen boys turn somersaults,
hand springs, jump over high fences and
perform other athletic feats. We have
sien them get "fighting mad" and hurt
each other. We never did think the girls
could get " lighting mad," but they did the
other day, in the arithmetic class; two ot
them fought their dispute out in the old
fashioned way, and made things lly. That's
business.
Our regular devil, with the assistance
of the little one, carried one of the forms
of the Stcdknt to the Dress office the
other day. Our devil led the way. Angels
lied before their approach, and teams be
cainu uncontrolable on the streets. We
gave the imps a quarter for their trouble,
which they invested in tally candy and
peanuts. The Stcimjnt olllce can get up
a sensation anytime.
Wo had an opportunity during the
past month of listening to Prof. Sanga
men's display of the powers of the human
voice. He has the remarkable power of
imitating the various musical instruments
by his voice. Such as the guitar, tlute,
trumpet, drum, etc. In fact be is quite a
bniss band in himself. There was not n
large attendance, and those present were
principally youths of tender age.
The Meteorology class, in the early
part of the present mouth took a trip to
Mil ford, Seward county, for the purpose
of gathering geological specimens. Prof.
Aughey accompanied them. The wenth
er was fair when they started, but alter
they arrived at their destination, a snow
storm arose, thus preventing them, in a
measure, from making collections. Prof.
Aughey takes no little interest tn this
class and will probably attempt another
expedition of the kind at a more favora
ble time.
The Chancellor announced in the
chapel not long since that if two or three
students should suddenly disappear from
the Univcrsiti, it might be taken for
granted that they had been indefinitely
excused from the University. Several
did leave. The Chancellor is determined
to maintain the good name of the Univer
sity and w ill not permit a few to throw
discredit upon the whole school.

small boy to lovely miss, also aPalladinn.
Note reads as follows:
" Miss , shall we go to the concert
this evening?" Signed . The gen-
tic Palhuliau replies;
"Mr. . Oh, dear! t don't know
what to do. What will John say if I do?
Are you not afraid of hurling John's feel
ings? John has been at my side all the
afternoon turning the leaves of the mag
azine for me." Signed .
The sidewalk on the street cast of the
Universitj- is something of a nuisance.
It is almost impossible lor two to walk
arm iu arm on this sidewalk. There are
but two boards on this walk, one on each
side, there being an opening iu the mid
dle. It is somewhat difficult for the aver
age individual to walk .straight on a
plank, even in a sober condition, when
nights arc dark. If this sidewalk re
maius much longer in this condition, the
students of dormitory No. 2 will hnve to
devote the hours of evening at home.
They are pretty well crippled now.
A literary contest will take place in
the chapel of the University, Monday
