Look out for black shins and smashed toes. Why can't wo havo class hats, class badges, class canes all the classical appurtenances to an Insitutions of learn ing? The pocket-book answers. The first frost of the aoason was visible October 0th, and it was a very light ono too. This is much later than usual for Nebraska and that is tho reason we make a note of it. Students are not supposed to bo interested in the affairs of tho city, in pnrlicular, but it "do" tickle 'em to see tho streets being graded up, the crossings repaired, and im provements generally being pushed along in anticipation of winter. The Coyote shot on the campus at tho beginning of tho .term will be in tho museum in a fow days. Mr. Knight, who hud the mour.ling in charge, bus his work nearly accomplished. Tho fact of ltd being shot on tho campus will make it valuable. Class in physical geography, topic under review, Specific Heat of Water. Professor: Tho specific heat of a body is how defined? Student: Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise u dogrce a foot. Profess. W: Is that right, class? No reply. The Union debating club has beon organized. The attendance at the first meeting was lnrgor than expected, and taking into consideration tho Intero6t manifested, (he prospect is that the debuting club of the Uulon society for 1884-6 will be a greater succeeshan ovar before.

Inquisitive student. Professor, has the bull apis any ro lation to tho golden calf that Moses broke the tables over? After class the professor advised tho Inqulsltlvo student to purchase a Bible and find out how the com mandments were first broken. One of the most singular Incidents in the history of tho University took place at the weekly examination of the Freshman class In History. It is tholargest class of Freshman in History that tho Uuivorslty over had and not a paper fell below eighty. Tho other day when the janitor went to ring the bell some student on the third floor had his curiosity aronscd, and Indulged in holding the boll ropo. It is well ho was not caught bv the janitor; if he had been his curiosity would havo been entirely satisfied. Let's do something this year so that other schools may know that we exist. Cane rushes, hazing, Blaine and Logun clubs, and Cleveland badges are all well enough, but are hardly original. Let tho ambitious western gen ius brace up and think of something new. On the evening of Oct. 0, a lamentable uutraco was committed on two innocent University boys. A band of unscrupulous villlaus, seven in nunjber, snatched the boy from their rooms and rushed them into the Kandy Kitchen. For further particulars see E. H. Eddy. At tho Hesperian election a discussion was entered into by a number of students, in which 3everal boeamo mUier warmed up, but eyery thing ended in fine shape. At tho close a general watermelon rally was indulged in, and evcry.ones' pulso was bought to its normal condition. How wicked it sounds to tho dovout student in chapel to hear tho sinful medic rattling chairs and rohearslng for their minstrel shows in the lecture room below. If they can't come to chapel and can't keep still, wo would suggest a set of straight jackets as a valuablo addition to the medical apparatus. The Hesperian Board hold a meeting October 0th., to see If the Student could be issued on lime. The Board unanimously agreed to do all Jn their power to carry it into effect. We think all those who hitvo no ticed tho irregularity of tho Student In the past will be pleased to hear of the change. H
