THE HESPERIAN. The board of regents will meet Dec. 14th. We hope ihcy will get us squared up, and in presentable shape, for the legis lature which follows close upon them. Look out for a fight over that old bone of contention the college farm. We've heard it hinted that certain parties are preparing trouble for us. The house on the southwest corner of 13th and S has al ready been the subject of frequent mention in these columns. Recently another event added to its fame. It seems that two of its occupants were unable to appear at their accustomed hour of the morning. For further particulars inquire of Gcr wig and McCancc. Miss Laws'concludcd to go even as far as McCook last week to enjoy her two days out. Report says that next week will sec her father, the Hon. G. S. Laws, installed in Lincoln pre paratory to assuming the duties of Secretary of State. Miss Laws is surely fortunate in thus being able to share, at onc, home and college pleasures. One of the plcasantcst social events of the term was the reception given to the Junior class, the evening before Thanksgiving, by Miss Rachel Manley at her elegant home on nth street. Some of the Juniors were unavoidably ab sent, having gone home to spend thanksgiving, but those who were there enjoyed the evening thoroughly and came away with more enthusiasm than ever for the class of '88. The Palladians celebrated Thanksgiving night by holding a sociable in their hall. Music was dispersed, both instru mental and vocal, among the latter being a song to the class of '90, which appeared to be specially pleasing to the knights of the brazen star. Refreshments were served in the hall and after adjournment a company numbering fifty-two re paired to Poehlcr's to complete the evening's entertainment It is sad, we admit, to lose one's ticket back to Lincoln when arrangemenis have been made for a lady's company to an entertainment that very evening, and especially when un der such financial circumstances that toothpicks and p r chips arc the only effects left which could be pawned. For you know it takes cheek to ask to get trusted for telegraphing and then, the disappointment of the lady herself and all that.. So, who can blame Ansley for wearing that 'Ihavcn'tsccnany sugarforamonthlook?" Sad. The Unions devoted Friday evening of Thanksgiving week to a special Thanksgiving program which was to have con sisted of a talk by Professor Howard, recitations by Miss Rhcta Childe, and music. For some reason not yet known, Prof. Howard failed to appear. However, with but a short recess, through the kindness of Misses Childe, Perry and Scott and Mr. Mallory, a very pleasing program was present ed. The remainder of the evening was devoted to a social, after which oysters were raided, etc. The Sophomore class met in the library Saturday at 3 p.m. for election of officers for the ensuing term. The following were chosen to positions of honor and trust: Pres. Miss Jennie Bonncll; Vice Pres., A. Pizey; Secretary, Peter Newcomer; Treas., E. Eagleson; Historian, Roscoe Pound Two students having fresh., soph., and jun. studies were elected to membership. After transaction of more unim portant business the class adjourned. The 'baffled rage' of some of the disappointed people was indeed piteous to the eye of the disinterested observer. DIRECT POINTERS. B. F.
