THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
FOR A NEW PAPER.
A Mass Meeting Held to Form a Combination A Committee of Seven Elected.
Pursuant to a call of the Chancellor, a mass meeting of the students of the University was held in University hall on Friday at noon. The call stated the object of the meeting to be the procuring a means where by the University publications might be combined into one grand Journal, which should be teeming with legitimate news, brilliant literary efforts, and all under the directing eye of the Council. There was a fairly good attendance of students, considering the very inconvenient time for such a meeting. Chancellor Snow acted as chairman of the meeting, and the business of the day was started bravely on. Maurice Alden arose and addressing the Chancellor, moved that "the following resolutions"be adopted Mr. Alden must certainly have meant every word he said for he talked in a very earnest tone of voice. The vote was taken, the motion carried.
One of the provisions was that no "faction" was to be regarded. All this time James Owens, or as some call him, Boss Croker, was smiling serenely at the Phi Gams and Sigs with that I-told-you-so expression on his face. The committee of seven to be selected came next. Mr. Mitchell was nominated, but the tellers clearly counted him out.
Well, then the list was finally "filled" and here are the names: Prof. Newson, R. W. Cone, W N. Logan, Galen Nichols, S. S. Brown, Blanche Thoburn, and James Patton, Chairman.
W. H. H. Piatt sprung a sensation on the audience when he arose and said that he had understood that the committee was to consist of two members from each department of the school. Could it be that the rumor that "Boss Croker" had arranged all this was true. Many of the students thought so at any rate.
The meeting then adjourned. The committee is to draw up a constitution for the new paper—that is for the proposed paper.
The universal feeling seems to be that this new scheme will meet an untimely death, for none of the papers now in existence seem to fall into the spirit of the new deal. It is claimed that the members of a certain fraternity are at the bottom of the scheme. This fraternity, by the way, is now not represented on any of the University publications.
Another meeting will be called soon to take further action in this matter, and at that meeting, no doubt, there will be an "interesting" discussion. The student body is now represented in the papers, and it is only a few disgruntled barbs, and one fraternity that are crying "Wolf!"
