Several of the young 'ndiis of the Univers ity are busy trying to sell tickets for tha elocutionary entertainment. In last week's column we said that thia wet k was nomination in the society, but tha liouiiliatiol.s Were made last week. Last meeting of Society the President, Miss Sue Dorns, fns absent, tbe Vice Presi dent, Funny Condon, occupied the chair. We nre glad to see that the enlarged por trait of Prof. Burks has la-en left by the Alumni to give honor to the Society ball.

Miss Dorris, and ber sister, Miss Mav. wero both absent from school last Friday on account of sickness. We understand that Miss Mav will not try to come again nutil after Christmas.

Last w eek the Laurenn editor cot his items iu a little too soon, else he would have known that there were five seniors in school, and aa all of these are good size, with their bats on, the class is above the average. The consideration expressed iu tbe column of the Journal for the Euliixiaii editor's con stitution will be saved until needed, as last week we were neither dead nor speechless. Sympathetic words, prompted by a cause of common suffering and giveu by those who know wiiereoi (bey speak, are by far the most valuable. At the meeting of tha Y. W. C. T. U. there was a long discussion as to tbe advlsubliity of giving one out of their course of three elocution readings ou the evening of tbe Lnurean's regular Incclinii which would either force them to adjourn or would keep them from ni tending, After some pros aud , cons it was decided to dsn their evening as the number of people in attendance to tbe fair would make a profitable audience than the l.auruins would, Appointments for the next meeting of So ciety: Heading, Miss Libel Hunter; recita tion.

A promise ulways made, by editora when leaving office and never known yet to be ful filled of "handing down tbe pen," we thought till the lust moment we wuuld be ttiu first to fill, for we found how seriously it encroached upon our time ut the begin ning of tins work to go to hunt a quill.
