Hr OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

Somebody please ask viii Bland
if his base bali shoes have come.
Three new members were taken
into the Parthenou fold last Friday
night.
The senior referred to last week
was not one who went home but one
who spelled.
Quite number of ladies were up

corps last week.
Club Wells shoulder straps have

The RAT Squad" were inisiated in

Boys when you go to escort lady

Lieutenant O'Briens sister, a
bright and attractive young lady, is
now visiting her brother
Writ Carper, an old student in the
palmy day of '6S, was looking over
the scenes of his college days last
week.
A picture of the University Base
Ball Club will be taken next Satur-

Hough Anderson, an old student,
looked in upon the boys last week.
Hough is now a militia officer in
Pennsylvania. We are sorry he is
not to return to school this year.
"Mike" Durbin and "Crockett"
Reed took trip to Fairmont last
week, and now jealousy Burns in the
bosoms of the luckless ones who
we're compelled to stay at home. The
boys report very pleasant time.
Mr.. Hagan, the gentlemanly pitch
er, of the Mountain City Base Ball
Club, thinks of coming to the Uni
versity to study law. We hope he
will as he undoubtedly would be
quite an addition to the school rs well
as to our club.
The excursion to Mt. Lake Park
has at last been permanently pro-
yided for. A treasurer has been ap-
pointed by each company and re-
ceivcs l0cts per week from each cadet.
This to be used to defray the neces-
sary expenses Of the trip.
Students who traverse the streets
of Durbannah these dark nights
should provide themselves with Ian
terms, as one of the boys coming
home the other night fell over cow
in the bridge, and as a result gray
hair now appears upon his temples.
The cadets who go swimming on
Sunday should take warning from
the experience Of one who went bath
ing last Sunday. A judgment at
tended his swim, and he now mourns
two square inches of hide left upon
the eternal rocks Of the Monon-
gahcla.
The corps was drilled In the use
of the Babecck Fire Extinguisher
last week. These are good institu-
tions, and If fire should occur
would do much toward extinguishing
it, provided the boys understood its
manipulation; but if they are not
acquainted with its workings they
had better let it alone.
Next Saturday afternoon will wit
ness the most exciting game Of ball
ever played on the Fair Grounds.
AS all know the Rough and Ready's
have not been defeated this year, and
the University Club has defeated the
best Club the r. q RS have played,
and those knowing the "points" look
for the most interesting game of the
season. Let all students who have
a care for the credit and interest OF
the University turn ont and encour-
age the boys by their presence, and |
that other essential, their voices.
There has long been in existence
at the College the two Literary Soci-
cites, Parthenon and Columbian, yet
we doubt whether or not any Of the
Morgantown people understand their
any more than if they were
in another State. We have only
seen about half of the Faculty in
our Society Halls. Now If the peo-
pie wish to give encouragement to
his most important branch of the
University, let them honor us with
heir presence on Friday evenings.
Let the boys bring their ladies, and
We assure them their evening will
lot be considered a failure, If the
should be what is usually
presented.
1t is with delicacy that we ap-
,roach subject without which our
eport from the College would be in
'oinplete. We notice signs of pro-
,ress upon the upper lips Of quite
lumber Of the boys, and while we
annot be supposed to do justice to
The Rise Of the Mustache,v we
annot forbear from giving the boys
