Boarding If desired. , Apply nt 1150 R. St. The strectscars, concerning which so much has beeu said lately, arc now in running ordur. This will bo good news to i host of our "tired" students. Students it will pay you to examine the pictures mndo by Kellcy & Co. before silting olsewnro. Have you seen that daisy University Panel they give gratis? Wo have been credibly informed thnt the Seniors have entered into a base and malicious league to obtain the mo. nopoly of the University moustaches. Five new ones have already been engrafted on their part. The state convention of the Y. M. C. A. will meet in this city on the 22ond and continue till the 25th. Gen eral O. O. Howard commanding the department of the Piatt will probably attend the convention. In a history class the other day the Freshman sticks had much trouble in locating the river Styx. If the Sophomores had been a little stronger on cane day some of the class might have explored this stream free of charge. A chapel choir is our latest improvement. For it we nrc very grateful and hope that the music hereafter will not so much resemble a Freshman serenade aa it does at present. Fresh to First Prep: "Why is n man carried by his youngest child to be pitied ?" First Prep : "Don't know." Fresh : "Because he Is on his last legs." N. B. One less Freshman. For sale: A new guitar, warranted sound in wind and limb. Will play anything from "Peek-a-boo" to "Mont rose" and never needs winding up. Burns cither wood qr coal. Satisfactory reasons for selling: the owner is "busted." Address this office. Hallowe'en has passed and gone for this year, and the gates, fences and door-bclls may have a rest for a time. So mo of the boys say that arrest was also after many of the Hallowe'encrs. We sincerely hope that all of the ser cnucters who were howling around may not be obliged to pay for torturing humanity in such an execrable manner. The gate stealers can't compare with them in fiendish ness. V Few things occasion more genuine and unadulterated trouble than forgelfulness. One of our new femininities discovered the force of this axiom when she accepted two invitations for the same evening. Both would-be-escorts were ou hand and much crabarassment ensued before one found out thai he was not needed on escort duty that evening. The puelline hereafter will keep a calendar of her engagements. Some scandal vender has started the vague and rather indefinite rumor that one of our Sophomores hugged a lamp-post last Friday night till he choked off the gas and put out the light. Mr. Allen Is considerably on his ' ear about it and wishes us to state that it-is a false fabri cated, falaciuud, fallacy, and that if he can once get his arms around the wretched author, he will squeeze off his gas and make the firo of his existance die out. The luxl man that comes to our window and tries to Imitate Calanders funny mau in saying "Peek.a-boo," had belter purchase his funeral robe and cofin ; engage his undertaker, minister, etc. ns a sentauco of death will bo immediately pronounced and the proper officer will conduct the execution. One of our coseds hands us the following, which is the mournful wall of n Prep: Tell mo not, In mournful numbers, That you linvo an Invitation Ero my notchas roached Its station; And slates aro not what'thoy seem. Tho door of the medical school borcthe homely though forcible motto, "Stiffs wanted." So here by wo will give them a well one. The medical college is a grand thing for the University and for tho ctnbrj'o meds.of tho West. By.thc-way It is a rare thing to find a much fairer look, ing set of young men than the students of thie depart ment. The rear of the college building has been ornamented by a ruffled, galvanized water pipe, running from the roof diagonally across the bulldlug. Some of tho fresh preps have already mistaken them for the Doane College telescopes, but we assure them that they are not. At any rato they, in connection with the plastering of the chapel, aro things of beauty and joy forever. Our cadets make a good appearance on drill now, an unusually large number have registered and a largo amount of interest ismanifcsted. We heard a fair dam sel, with bright blue eyes and golden hair, enquire; "what those blue rags were on the boys arms for?" The un principled qulzzcereplled that they' were marks for ill-' conduct. We have some literary talent prowling about the Uni versity building these balmy days, but it makes us wax wroth to be obliged to state that their chief acquirements in that line are the books they .take from the windows and forget to return. "We think it would be well if our janitor wouldjexercise his duties as policemen more, and give the rascals a chance to breed some scabs. Job was afflicted witli poor crops, boils, etc. to an un comfortable extent, but he never had a gang of hoodlums coutinually coming into his office, overturning has type, jumping on his bed with their muddy fet and raising hobgenerally. The Hesperian board has siraplylsat down on this system of affaire and rise to baug the table and state once for all that our offlice hours are from 9 to 12. Editors aud visitors are then admitted, provided they keep out side the railing. If the public and students wish to gaze into the infernal regions at other hours than these they must peek through the window. Wo hope a word to the wiso will be sufficient This year the University is very prolific iu crainaling new organizations. The latcst.is an anti-circumlocatiug society, organized by the boys, for the prevention of elec tric communications among students. The condition of membership is that no member uhall escort feminities who electrofy, to any place whatever. The further By laws will appear in our next. Thejsociety itself is com paratively harmless but the committee on investigation may well be eyed with suspicion by the femininity These radical reformers wear no badge but by their pe culiar sancity of appearance and the promicity of their
