The 85 per cent. rule has been adopted in the Ohio Wessleyan University.
The rushing bee has been the special feature of the past week. You now see the results, and congratulations are in order.
The Beacon comes out this week with a three page issue. The reading matter is about the average, but the advertisements are enough to make any business manager's mouth water.
The editorial in the Kansas explaining the origin of the attempt at humor on the local columns of the last issue of that paper, while rather severe upon the local man, was probably necessary for the protection of the editor-in-chief, whom we cannot blame for being loath to assume the responsibility for such productions without an explanation.
OUR CHRISTMAS NUMBER.
The Christmas number of the COURIER will be something you will want to see—something you will want to take home and show to your friends and "folks."
We will begin in that issue the first of a series of short sketches of each of the professors of K. S. U. With each sketch will be given a creditable "cut" or picture of the professor. We are certain that these articles will be heartily welcomed by the students. They indeed, will be worth seeing and preserving.
Besides other matter of much interest, this number will contain the following: "Reminiscences of K. S. U." by Prof. Miller, "Our Alumni," by Prof Sterling, "Inter-Fraternity Relations," by Prof. W. H. Sears, "Jokes on the Profs.'" "The Girls of K. S. U.'" "The Boys of K. S. U.'" and "Interviews on the Military Question."
So you will want a COURIER next week and an extra edition will supply your wants.
The pledge is up; the rush begun, or rather just ending, for who can say that any sorosis stood by the articles of agreement? It was sincerely hoped that the young ladies would, by their exemplary conduct in this matter, bring about a reformation in rushing tactics. But alas! it could not be. Everything is made subservient to the advancement of fraternity interests, and now it is common talk that the bothersome pledge will never be renewed.
The maliciousness which is characteristic of a certain frat. in K. S. U., was exhibited in the usual manner during the past week, when the attempt was made to injure a rival by the systematic circulation of reports to the effect that the chapter here was about to go under on account of internal dissensions. Such reports, prompted as they were by wanton malice and selfishness, had formulation only in the fertile imagination of the originators of the lie.
CHAT AWFUL BASE MENT;
Elsewhere in these columns will be found the Prize Essay Proposal which, it is to be hoped, will inspire some of our Seniors to make an effort, at least, towards the attainment of the much coveted plum. Homer Dibell, of the University of Indiana, was the lucky man last year. His subject, "What are raw materials? Would free raw materials be advantageous to the labor and industries of the United States?"
or
How I Got Left.
She came from her class.
My heart let her pass;
But my eyes followed long through the crowd.
My heart wished to say,
I was going her way;
But my tongue wouldn't speak, and I cowed.
Down the back stairs she went,
On her wraps all intent,
Never thinking how fondly I waited.
I thought of the pleasure.
Of joy without measure.
But how I had anticipated!
So long did I wait
For soup I'd be late.
If she didn't quite soon fix her bonnet.
I had winked at the lass
As she came from the class.
But would she remember? Dog-on-it!
The halls became bare,
And still I was there;
But no dainty form passed the case-
ment.
I looked at the clock-
Then my soul took a shock!
She had gone by the way of the base
ment.
A Splendid Specimen.
Judge West, of the Natural History Department, is now working upon a fossil skeleton that is a phenomenon. It is a Saurian and the Judge thinks it is the finest fossil ever found.
It is one of the many natural specimens that were captured during the explorations of last summer, in Southern Kansas. It was found in a chalk bed and it is wonderfully complete and perfect in its parts and structure. It measures over eighteen feet in length. The Judge is justly proud of this splendid specimen and just now it is the sole object of his tenderest care and attention.
When prepared it will make one of the most interesting specimens of the wonderous ages gone by. K. S. U. will be proud to add it to hər costly collection.
Three Cheers for the Faculty.
The Faculty held a special meeting Wednesday that was a meeting. The students of K. S. U. will never forget it. For the first time in its history, the Faculty jumped a cog. Headed by Profs. Carruth, Canfield and Winkler, it decided to call a special meeting of the students for the purpose of discussing the formation of an athletic association. Was there anything more clever? The Courier i certain that the Faculty could not have done anything else that would have pleased the student more. It was just what they needed and it is just what they have been waiting for. So the Faculty is to be thanked and praised and congratulated—whatever will please it. It has taken a correct and comprehensive view o this matter and we see in this laudable action the beginning of a splendid addition to the needs of K. S. U.
By the time this paper reaches you this meeting will have met, resolved and adjourned, and if you are an earnest, loyal student you will know what has been done.
To - Night.
The Adelphic is the only literary society that meets to-night

State Secretary Fisher will lead the city Y. M. C. A. meeting Sunday afternoon.Every young man come.
Several of the Y. M. C. A. boys will, in the near future, go to Lecompton and lead the meeting for the college association there. This plan of exchanging ideas among the college associations is a good one and will be productive of much good.
E. W. Palmer will lead the meeting this evening. Subject, "What Christ Has Done for Us," 1 Cor. I5-57. Let all the boys come prepared to make this one of the most interesting meetings of the year.
A very interesting meeting was held last Friday evening, President Ackley leading. After a short devotional service a business meeting was held, C. P. Chapman proposed twenty-five names for membership. All were unanimously received. A social to be held in a short time was discussed and all seemed mad in favor of it. After some miscellaneous business the meeting adjourned.

Lord Farrow—Because I was a lawyer on earth.
Lord Farrow-I have.
Satan—What hast thou done?
Satan—Turning to his legions—Ye imps, fiends and fallen spirits, hear! Shall we punish this most noble man who has worked so faithfully in our cause while on the earth?
Lork Farrow—I reviled St. John and all who were not of my political belief
Satan—Speak, slave, hast thou done nothing more?

The fiends with one voice answer NO!
Pandemonium, breaks loose.
