This is something that has been needed a long time, and every student will do well to avail himself of this opportunity for the rhetorical improve ment. One of the students, who is opposed to female suffrage, was arguing last term with his chum, when he broke out in this strain: "What would become of us poor men, if the women were allowed to vote, and one were to be elected President of the United States! We have an exam pic right here in the Palladian Society." It has been suggested that the music room be located in the cupola. Distance lends enchantment, you know, and then, climbing halt a dozen (lights of stairs will use up some of the surplts orealh, and moderate the sounds that now sweep through the halls like a roaring tornado, to something like the gentle melody of a steamboat whistle. At the last meeting of Iho EittroNout club, the following oilicers were elected for this term: J. 0. Sturdevant, President. C. C. Chase, 1st Vice President. .7. M. Knox, 2nd Vice President. S. E. Buboook, Secretary. D. II. Wheeler, Treasurer. . G. Tzschuok, ScrgOant-at-Arins. We understand that some of the boys, in order to prevent the fearful pangs which a previous engagement brings, have devised-a new plan, viz: they asbemble in a secret place, and, by drawing slips of pa per with the young ladies' names on them, each one's fate is told. Now, boys, this is a llrst-rate plan, but you don't want to let the girls find you out. The Palladinn society has taken of. fectivo measures for repairing their hall. Funds suflloient have been raised to kalso mine the hall, and put up new ehiui. delicrs for gas jots. Prof. Stadtor will place over the rostrum, in glowing letters, the old motto, " Forma mentis mternn est." When this is done, Palladian Hall will be, one of the tlnest society halls in the State. The following verse, with a picture representing the scene, was found lately: "Four little children want to skntc I' pon a Miinunor'p dnv. It so Toll out tlicy nil loll In, Thi n"t tlioy rim nwnv."

There are a great many of the slu dents who are not subscribers to the IIksi'wuan. This should not be. Every student should feel that he has some in teres! in the paper, and should take pride In its support.

Don't depend on borrowing your chum's paper to read; but send us your sub. and read your own paper. The Regents have donated thirty dol. lars to the University Union to Jit up a new hall. This Is something that the So ciely has needed for a long time, as the rooiu they have oeen occupying will only accommodate a small audiencci and is not well adapted for speaking in. The Hooin is neatly kalsomined, and Prof. Stadter will paint the new motto, "There is room at the top," and do other orna mental work.
