If you didn't understand why the items in the third column of last week's COURIER were copied from the Review, read it again and then the sixth item in the first column. They should have been attached. But we won't be cheated out of our point in that way.

A rule which is not enforced should not remain a rule of the University. Our rule forbidding talking loud in the reading, room the library or its office is not enforced. Therefore this rule should not remain. Will some of the librarians tell where the flaw in this syllo-ism is?

Some colored hoodlums pitched onto Lute Thrasher at the ball grounds last Saturday and gave him an ugly cut on the forehead. Simmons went in to stop the scrap and two of the colored boys pitched onto him with ball bats and hurt him severely about the shoulders and arms. The big colored boys seem to think they have a right to the ball grounds and they resent any intrusion from the University boys. If the city authorities do not keep these colored hoodlums off, there promises to be a lively row one of these days.
No.8
A BOOK TO BUY.—Webster's International Dictionary. This new book is the authentic "Unabridged" thoroughly revised and enlarged under the supervision of Noah Porter, D. D., L. L. D., of Yale University. Editorial work on the revision has been in active progress for over ten years, and more than a hundred paid literary workers have been engaged upon it. The sum expended in its preparation before the first copy was printed exceeded $300,000. This work, well used in a family, will be of more value to the members thereof than many times its cost laid up in money.
An Organ for University Hall.
Prof. Penny is organizing a big scheme to raise money for a grand $5,000 pipe organ for the chapel—the organ to be built by the people of Lawrence, the students and the Alumni. The undertaking is a big one but Prof. Penny is working hard and is very enthusiastic. An executive committee of five ladies from each of seven churches, the Alumni, and each of the University classes has been appointed. Each member of the committee is responsible for obtaining five pipe collectors all to be young ladies. This will make a committee of pipe collectors to consist of at least 800 persons. Each person contributing some salable article valued at 5 cents and upwards for the "Grand Kermiss Fair" to be held the week before Christmas,and paying one dollar for an admission ticket to six concerts and entertainments to be given by the Glee Club and musical and dramatic talent of the city and University, becomes a purchaser of a pipe in the new organ. The young lady pipe collectors will canvas each person and sell them pipes. Each person buying a pipe will have his name engraved on a block of polished wood which will be inlaid on the base of the organ. By the sale of pipes, proceeds from the Kermiss Fair and entertainments. Prof. Penny hopes to raise $5,000.
The names of the members of the ex-committee and further particulars will be published next week.
There is $25 in the hands of the treasurer of the Oratorical Association which is due the stock holders and will be paid as soon as the matter can be arranged with the former treasurer. Why not give this to the Athletic Association or for Prof. Penny's organ?
O. II. Holmes lectured at Cedar Junction last Friday night. He carried his audience with him.
You may not travel much,
While attending the University.
A trip home at
Thanksgiving, or
Christmas, or
During the spring vacation, or
To Kansas City to hear Booth,
Is perhaps all your purse
Can stand.
But when you do go,
Remember that the
"Old Reliable" and
"Always on Time" line is
The Santa Fe.
It reaches more Kansas towns
Than all of its competitors
bunched.
Any time you feel in the
Migratory mood, call on
Geo. C. Bailey, ticket agent,
Santa Fe denot Lawrence
