THE COURIER-REVIEW through its representations has been bending every energy for the last month to obtain one University paper. Realizing that if all the strength now put into the separate papers could be united that it would not only be more to the credit of the University but also to the individuals in charge. We have felt also that the merchants have been unnecessarily pestered and harassed in times past to support the different papers. Having these points in view we have proposed several plans to the representatives of the Students Journal which although the Faculty committee considered them
fair and guaranteeing the rights of all, the Students Journal has rejected, and insists that the only combination that it will agree to is for the other papers to buy stock in the Students Journal. Now as this eminently unfair to us we can not accede to it. However not wishing that the desire of the Faculty and merchants for one University paper should come to nothing on account of the unreasonableness of part of the Students Journal Co., we have decided to suspend the publication of the Courier-Review and take stock in a combined paper. This combined paper as outlined by the newspaper company agrees to give to a holder of a share in any of the old papers a share in the combined; stock is also open to any member of the University. All officers shall be elected by a majority vote of the stockholders, care being taken to secure those best fitted for the position. The rights of all shall be protected and the paper shall not be run in the interest of any faction. Any officer unfit for his position may be removed on the request of the Faculty company. The stock-holders of the Review Co., have also voted to suspend publication and take shares in the combined paper, some of the Students Journal Co., as well have taken stock. So now if the merchants are really in earnest in their desire for one University paper they will give all their patronage to the combined paper and refuse to support any faction that tries to run its own organ in spite of the combination. There are always some disgruntled spirits, who if they can't run a thing will pitch in and fight it, so the combined paper will of course meet with opposition. But if all those who claim to want one University paper are sincere there can be no donbt of its success. Let us all put our shoulder to the wheel and make a go of it this time.
