An Apology.
We desire to apologize for the character of some of the locals that appeared in last week's edition of the Courier. Mr. Paul Wilkinson, who has charge of the local page, was unfortunately too busily engaged last week to give his duties the attention they required. We desire to say that in the future we will devote our entire local space to the news of the University, and endeavor as we have in the past to get out a first-class college newspaper.

Tariff Reform Club.
The stockholders of the Times and visitors had filled room eleven Wednesday,when the chairman called the meeting to order. On motion Martindale read the report of the committee on Constitution,of which he was appointed chairman at the last meeting in the chapel.
The constitution as suggested by
Last Tuesday evening the room of the Jeffersonian club was comfortably filled with students of the University who sympathized with tariff reform. A meeting was held a week previous to this and committees appointed to arrange things for permanent organization. Last Tuesday a constitution was adopted and the following officers elected: President, Richard Horton; Vice President, Caywood; Secretary, A. V. Ennes, Treasurer, Russell Whitman; an Executive committee consisting of Horton, Stebbins and Bear was unanimously elected. Amateur Statesmen Stebbins, Bear, Harburger and others, made enthusiastic speeches. On motion a committee of two—Stebbins and Bear—were appointed to challenge the University Republican club to a debate on the subject of tariff reform. In another place will be found an interesting program for next Tuesday evening.
Stockholders' Meeting of the Times:
the committee provided for the issuance of fifty shares, at two and fifty apiece; that the fraternities be allowed to hold no more than three-fifths or less than two-fifths; that no fraternity be allowed to hold more than ten shares; that the transfer of a share be recorded ninety days before the holder can use it; and that the constitution could only be amended by three-fourths of shares.
Reed moved to strike out the phrase "nor less than two-fifths." Martindale suggested that it would be necessary to retain the clause in order to prevent the fraternities from backing down. Carried.
Under the head of the selection of Board of Share Adjusters, Mumford moved that two members of the board be selected from the faction casting the minority vote. At this, Street, White and other fraternity men objected, as they knew the non-frats were in the minority and likely to remain so. After a spirited but orderly debate between Mumford and Street, the motion was lost. One frat. man voted for the amendment.
It was then moved that two-thirds be substituted for three-fourths in the clause pertaining to the amendment of the constitution. Worden kicked. In case of a fraternity and non-fraternity fight, it would be an easy matter for the fraternities to make enough Sub Rosa votes to force an amendment on the stockholders. (Cheers and hisses.) The question was decided on a square fraternity vote and the motion carried.
On motion the clause pertaining to the number of days notice necessary to make a share valid, was so amended as to make the number of days thirty instead of ninety.
The constitution was then adopted and Caywood, Mumford and Stebbins were appointed the members of the Board of Adjustors.
