"We don't have nny deadheads in the Pall a J Ian" Jno. Drydtn on "Union busti." The telephone has been moved to room 21, bcooiuI floor and on dit that the janitor sits up nights to watch over it. Can you discover who Is the host orator in the Palladia ans. Yes, if you Chase for him. A witty Soph, says ttiat to take a miss is to make a mis. take and that he don't like to study imlvauiam. Wo think he is too boystcroiiB. The Y. M. C. A. Bible class taught by Pnr. Hitchcock will meet each Sunday at 9:3o a. in. in room No. 5. All arc invited to attend. A Soph, co-ed, when asked if she studied Physics, re. plied with a look of horror ;uNo I I don'tbelievc in it. I am a Homcopathist." The first meeting of the Bible class was well attended by the young men. Co-education in tiiis department would not be objectionable. Prof. Thompson has been assigned the room formerly occupied by Prof. Wood berry. His private cabinet of anatomical models is to be placed here. Several of the students arc engaged in teaching a short distance from the city. Wo arc soiry that they are absent from school, but glad that they are not too far away to at. end society. It is quite affecting to see a first prep trying to carry live water melons in his arms at the same time. Also to sec a Junior bringing out his first co-ed. Similar phc uomena occur.

We wislt to state for the benefit of the new students thai the number 1870 on tne University is not tnc number of the street, but is the date of a very important event in its history. This may prevent a great deal of embarassment in future. There are certain students who are very fond of airing their talents. Such arc generally superficial. True great ness is always modest. Thoso persons, therefore, who make an exhibition of their greatness usually show all that they possess. Mr. Olmsted of '82 is departed lor Wyoming and will be engaged during the year in teaching the young idea how t shoot. The boys in Wyoming need no Instruction in that department. They will pick It up soon enough of their own accord. We quarantine infectious diseases. When a man is found to have the small-pox or yellow fever he is exclu led from his fellow mo.) and guarded, with the utmost vlg. ilance that the infection may not spread1 but the viscious young man is allowed to roam at largo through our pub. lie schools corrupting his associates by his poisonous in fluence and sowing the seeds of moral diseases more ma. lignantthan any. For the last six months the Union bulletin board out. shono anything on the first floor, but tho Pal I ad tans at last come up smiling with a board which, as they declare, "yanks the bun." The decoration is the work of Miss Emma Richardson. We hope that new as well as old students will take hold with a will and make tho University Athletic Association what it should be. If this organization flourishes the Student expects to sec a well equipped gymnasium before the sun sets on the college year. Both societies are to make costly additio is to their hall furnishlstigs during the year. Palladian Hall Is to bo beautified by a magnificent crystal chandelier, while the Unions will replace their old carpet with a new one costing enough to bankrupt a Fitzgerald. The first meellug of the Palladlans was quite encourag. lug. Tho performances were good and a large number of names of the very best material among tho new students were proposed for membership. The Palladian is rcc. oguized as the place to advance literary work. It is hoped that the Juniors will continue their social meetings. These meetings have continued too long and have been productive of too much enjoyment to bo dis. pensed with now. It would be advisable for tho Fresh, man and Sophomore classes also to form similar organ!, zniions. Yo compositor of the Student office was vcry)glad to welcome E. E. Spencer a clussmatu of his at Doane last Saturday. Spencer is the Business Manager of the Donne Owl this year and we will warrant he is a good one. We hope to hear from Doane with reference to the State Ora torical Association. Prof. Draper, the new teacher in the Conservatory of Music is a careful and painstaking instructor and proves a valuable acquisition to tho music corps. Tho classes un. der Ills direction arc fast becoming enrapt with their studies and'new members arc being daily enrolled for the Conservatory curriculum. A second prep co-ed who is beginning German and who is also a Latin student on being asked how she liked the young German tutor, desiring to display her classic lore replied ;"Vici9sim by turns." The reader must observe that according to tho present method of pronouncing Lat in v has the sound of w and c of k. The time tho boys wcro allowed to make the recitation room a gymnasium, or the girls to play foot.ball with pie ccs of coal in tho halls has gone, and we hope that every student will earnestly cooperate with the professors in thicr attempt to secure order, without which perfect suc cess is a paradox and an impossibility. That the University is steadily growing is shown by the increase in the number of occupied rooms. Two years ago half a dozen rooms on the three main floors were vacant. To day all are occupied and tho work of fitting up the basement commenced. Two years hence now buildings will be absolutely necessary, Tho Palladian Debating Club holds breezy meetings on Saturday evening of each week. The boys seem deter mined to make this organization the moans of acquiring thorough drill in debate and "ofl'-hand" speaking. In order that tho deliberations of the club may bo unre strained, non-members ot the society will be excluded except in special instances. W
