A Correction.
In last week's Courier there was a communication in the "Views" department, signed "Chairishinks," reflecting on the city editors of the two Lawrence dailies. That the statements it made were mostly malicious falsehoods, was plain to be seen, and it is unnecessary to contradict them. The writer can not be found, as naturally no one would wish to acknowledge the authorship of a communication which is palpably the product of some aggrieved individual, witoout regard for truth. It is a well known fact that for any party which is desired to be written up, an invitation to the reporters is necessary. This rule applies to the Courier as well as to the city papers, and is recognized as proper. Where invitations are not extended to the press, it is taken 'or granted that no report is wished.
The commencement week exercises will be opened up next Friday night by the Oread-Orophilian contest. Oread will be represented by Harry Smith as orator Denton Dunn as debater; Ella Kopes as essayist; L. A. Stebbins as declaimer. Orophilian's representatives are F. E. Reed, orator; A. G. Hager, debater; Gertie Crotty, essayist; and Eva Hoadley, declaimer. The well known literary merit of the performers promises a good contest.
