THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER is published by the students of the University of Kansas. It is in the common newspaper form, and partakes of the spiciness of a regular political paper. Its pieces are short, and relate almost exclusively to college matters of local interest.—Ex.
The faculty will probably not announce the Senior appointments until the first of May. They say that as soon as a Senior receives an appointment he drops all other work, and for all the good he receives he might as well be out of school. There is something in this, and we believe the plan of putting off the appointments a good one.

The ever melancholy face of the "Bakeay" president was made even more woe-begone the other morning, when he had to announce that twelve students were to be suspended for one day for being out serenading after 10 o'oelock. The twelve students sent the faculty a vote of thanks for the holiday.
Miss Lena Beard gave a pleasant progressive euchre party last Monday evening. Besides the euchre playing there was singing and music. Elegant refreshments were served during the evening.
