N. K. and M. league. N. S. U., K. S. U., and M. S. U. next year. Shall we have it?
Every student who is loyal to K. S. U. and her interests will buy a lecture course ticket.
A YEAR'S subscription to the Courier free for the student who sells the largest number of lecture course tickets. Who will gain the prize?
The University of Wisconsin has abolished examinations where the class grade is above 85. Another step in advance. K. S. U. should do the same.
SCISNE who has an article in this issue seems disgruntled over something. We are glad to publish views on any subject but we don't like mournful wails on the subject of barbs and frats.
The advertising in this paper is for you to read. The advertisers are the ones who are interested in university affairs. We wish, if you find it as cheap, that you would trade with our advertisers. Read their ads and see if they are not selling cheaper than others in the city.
The Review has a good issue for November. The month is well gotten up and smacks of the old times. The new feature, the Seniors' Symposium on Evolution is quite interesting. The interest is chiefly centered on seeing how many ways there are of presenting the same thing. The seniors' minds all seem to run in the same direction.
The University extension movement is reaching mammoth proportions and will soon pervade the whole United States. The citizens of the town at the mouth of the Kaw prefer the limpid purity of our learning, as it flows in crystal streams toward the effete east, to the murky and sluggish waters of higher erudition that beats down along the banks of the "big muddy." The faculty of K. S, U. are to be congratulated for their readiness in accepting the duties that devolve
upon them in undertaking to further the movement in the west. Kansas City appreciates the grand ear of the new move and also appreciates our bright alert professors. K, S, U. is destined to take no second place in University extension in the west.
The little one horse sheet that is issued by the college of Emporia is bragging over its base ball club. If K.S.U.would select a 9 from the players in town and the surrounding country and take one or two from the University to give the club a college flavor,Emporia would not be in it for a minute.Now Emporia dry up your brag or else meet us next year with a strictly college team.
THE time for sprites and spirits fairies and goblins, demons and other ruthless souls now draweth near. To all ye good people of ye olden village of Lawrence warning: Take heed that thy gate or other moveable property do possess itself of locomotion and wander from its abiding place. The "devil" on the Courier with whom we are in league hath told us that on Hallowe'en the legs will be turned loose.
The "me too" green eyed gosling that represents Baker in its feeble journalistic way has run across a hitch in its intellect and presumes to get mad because we think our foot ball team can beat Baker this year. Great Soap-sticks! are we to give up beaten this year with a far better team than last? Remember, you infant prep school, you only won last year by a mere scratch.
CRIMSON still has some warm supporters. Let it be put to a test the next foot ball game. If the crimsonites can get up more colors, more enthusiasm and make a bigger show than the corn-yellow and skyblueites, let the crimson be the color. If it comes to this test we doubt not that the crimson would have the lead. The COURIER believes in a change of colors.
Let your spirit show itself at the foot ball game. Wear your colors and wear lots of them. If you are a crimsonite buy a bolt of flannel or buy all the red ribbon in town. If you favor the yellow and the blue cause a scarcity in the supply of those ribbons. This trip to Kansas City will probably be a test upon the two colors of the University and the one that excels in creating enthusiasm will probably be the University color. The COURIER is in favor of crimson for the University color and should like to see it adopted, at least, for this one foot ball game. The athletic board has decided upon crimson for the color in athletics.

CAN ANY GOOD COME OUT
That history repeats itself has been demonstrated so often that it has almost become an axiom. Not only is this true in the history of great nations and of races, but also in the seeming maze and chaos of university politics.
Glancing over the field of univer sity politics it does seem without a plan, yet to one who has carefully surveyed the field certain forces are seen at work which almost invariably produce the same result year after year, with, we might almost say, painful repetition.
Any student who has been familiar with university affairs for a number of years remembers a number of such instances.
There is a whisper, as yet light as air, that this year is to witness a repetition of the past. To me as a disinterested spectator uninfluenced by party zeal it is a legitimate result, possibly a little premature, but nevertheless in strict accordance with the traditions of the past.
Never in the history of the university has there been a lack of students endowed with the elements of leadership to array themselves against the fraternity and draw the barb element around them, holding themselves up as the Moses's who would lead the barbarians out from the Egyptian bondage of the fraternities. It is an interesting history to go back and review some of these so called leaders and to notice how their professions were little more than "sounding brass and tinkling cymbal," when tried by the test of time and the seductions of the frats. We remember one "leader" who was extolled by the "barbs" as unimpeachable. Whose loyalty to the barbs had been tested by four years of valuable service. He was elevated by the barb's votes to an office, the highest attainable in university politics. The caps of the barbs were thrown high in the air when this was accomplished. But the Delilah of the frats by her artless ways and soft seductions was too much for the Samson of the barbs. The locks of the barbarian king were clipped from his noble head. And the barbs clothed themselves in sackcloth and put ashes or their heads and mourned many days for the leader grinding in the mills of the frats. And so we might multiply cases.
To my barb friends I would say with that wise man of old "put not your trust in princes." The frats I believe need no advice, they appear to know when the game is worth the candle; or in common language, know which side of their bread is buttered. SCISNE?
"The Rush" was a little belated this year but it finally got here. It arrived last week. Since it is here we may offer a word in good spirit, and it is this: Do not fall into the error of demeaning your opponents on every occasion, for that is not rushing, but in many cases, mere lying.
Last Friday's meeting was devoted to the subject of European immigration. It was the second special or students meeting and again proved very interesting.

Phi Kappa Psi.
The "High, High, Highs," gave an informal hop at their rooms Friday evening. The attendance was good and the music all that could be wished for. The hours kept were commendable and the example should be followed by the other fraternities.
The Regents Meet.
A meeting of the board of regents was held Friday evening. Among other business an endowment committee was appointed to care for the bequests left the University. No action was taken in regard to the interest on the state appropriation as it will have no effect on the work of the Universiyl
The Junior Reception
One of the most enjoyable and successful class receptions ever held in the University was that given by the Junior boys last Friday evening at the home of Miss Maggie Rush on Oread avenue. Nearly every member of the class was present and the evening passed quickly in games, dancing, music and social conversation. The rooms were decorated with the Junior colors and boutonnières tied with the class colors were presented each member. During the evening light refreshments were served.
