The article in reply to x. y. z. found under the head of Views," and written by a prominent University man, will be published next week. The columns of the Courier are open for a full discussion of this matter, and we hope that any student having anything to say about it will not hesitate to use the Courier columns. Let us have a full and fair discussion.
The foot ball eleven plays its first match game tomorrow afternoon with Baker. The result of the game will be watched with interest for we can then judge of the material of which the eleven is composed. The Baker boys have played foot ball for several years, yet we confidently expect our boys to acquit themselves well. They will go to Baker tomorrow each one determined to do his best and Baker will have to play foot ball to win. We hope that a large number of students will accompany the eleven, and back it up with some genuine University enthusiasm. This will do much toward winning the game.
THE journalistic experience of the editor of the COURIER has not been very extensive, nor has it been entirely of a roseate hue. Once in a while, however, the editor comes across a choice bit of comment which cheers him considerably and shows him that his work and that of the staff is not entirely unappreciated. The following is from the Hesperian, of Lincoln. Nebraska: "Latest from the K. S. U.: There is but one paper here now, and Oh, that there were none. The COURIER has a good circulation and a co-ed for an exchange editor. For these reasons it may live a little longer." Thanks, Hesperian, thanks, for even this one small ray of hope.
The annual University ball is a very pleasant affair. It brings together the different social elements of the University and encourages a more generous social feeling. The more our students get together, the more interest they have in common, the more love they will have for the University, and, if the expression will be permitted, the more love for each other. The University is so large. and University life so varied, that an intimate social acquaintance cannot exist between each and every student, hence the various societies and fraternities have their places. But there can be a coser and more intimate feeling cultivated among all the students than there has been in the past. The more class contests we have, the more University social gatherings we have; the more athletic contests with other colleges we have, the more, true University spirit will be developed within the University.
EXCHANGES.
We are sometimes asked why the COURIER does not publish an exchange column. It is our opinion after looking over a large number of magazines, that the exchange column as conducted in many of the papers, has no place whatever in college or any other kind of journalism. To think that an editor because he receives a lot of college papers must sit down and criticise them, giving a watery commentation here and an equally trite and superficial criticism there, making the two kinds balance up nearly even, with perhaps a preponderance in favor of the latter, in order that it may look to the students, who rarely ever see the papers in question, as if a keen perception had been brought to a focus upon the papers, bears no recommendation for either good sense or good taste. Besides no one cares to know that the "HighTown Buzz Flyer came to our table unregenerated as usual. The editor does not seem to have taken our advice," or that, "The Adam's Apple presents a very good issue this week."
This kind of comment cannot be called news in any sense of the word. Look at these items from a recent issue of one of the college papers which may serve as an example of this kind of journalistic (?) work:
Of the pacific Pharos we would say that punctuality and fairly good looks are its only redeeming qualities.
We want to thank the Athenaeum for an excellent essay on Chaucer which may come handy some time when exams dot the firmament.
The Lombard Reviewappears to be as heavy and as solid as ever. For downright laboriousness in a literary way we recommend the Review.
The Warstburn Reporter and the Argo are having a tiff this year. Whether it be for money or life we know not. It looks like very little of either.
University of Michigan now sports a daily, not content with even a weekly. Perhaps, however, a little of the experience of Cornell in this line may render it satisfied. Nevertheless we admire enterprise. The Baker Index presents in its first issue for this year the portrait and inaugural address of its newly elected president, W. A. Quayle, the youngest of college presidents. Baker it seems, is thus noted in one way at least.
Latest from the K. S. W.; There is but one weekly paper published here now, and Oh, that there were none! The Courier has a good circulation and a co-ed for an exchange editor. For these reasons it may possibly live a while longer.
Our Scholastic Dame again is making its weekly visits as serene as ever, as regular as ever, and withal the same as ever. Big heads (used in the colloquial sense) seldom accept advice so we'll not tender any in this case. Suffice it to say
The Earthbamite seems to have profited but little by the advice we conscientiously gave it last year as to how to conduct its paper in such a manner as would make it more of a live college paper.
that improvement is possible even in the Scholastic.
We must not be understood to be opposed to the friendly exchange of papers, for by this means an editor can find out what other college papers are doing in journalistic work and what other colleges are accomplishing. By so doing he can compare notes and receive much help in the editing of his own paper. But if he has received new ideas the effects of them will be seen in his own paper without his publishing his views about this and that paper to the world. We do believe in publishing items of general interest about the different colleges, and short clippings from the different papers, but even then care must be exercised about what should be published.

There is Music in the Air.
The Glee Club made its first appearance before the public last Friday night at the Academy of Science. The club shows the result of Prof. Penny's careful drill, and will hereafter be a pleasing feature of University gatherings. The club has decided to give a series of concerts in this and neighboring towns. The first concert will be given at Eudora Saturday night the 29th, and we can assure the citizens of that town that the program will be a thoroughly enjoyable one. Those who have not heard college songs sung by college men, have not yet heard all the good things of the world. There will be music by the Mandolin Club to give variety to the program. The mortar boards and gowns which have been ordered will give the boys a unique appearance and will add interest to the concert.
Louborg Perfumes are standard. Leis Drug Co. carries Alpine Violet, Goya Lilly, Edenia, etc. Stop in and get a bottle.
