Chapel rhetoricals are much more interesting this year, on account of the strict rule of Prof. Brownell. A student must appear when posted or be marked zero.

The revival meetings were not without their good effects on the students. Quite a number resolved to reform and join the church. To all such we would say "that charity begins at home," ergo, pay your subscription to the Courier.
The lunch counter scheme proposed by the COUNTER is taking immediately. Prof. Canfield promises to present a petition to the faculty to get some one to start lunch stand at the University, if the students get it up.
One of our reporters was a little too previous last week in his zeal to get the latest news. We hope however to hear from Senator Riddle later on in the lecture course. Prof Carruth's lecture was very fine, and highly enjoyed by all present.

To rise, or not to rise; that is the question:

Eb. VIEWS:—Permit me through your department to speak of a bad habit that is growing upon our students. I refer to the habit of visiting and collecting in the corridors during the time allotted for the change of classes. The time is merely nominal. It was placed at five minutes to accommodate those passing from the basement in one end of he building to the third floor in the other. It was not intended that a student who could pass from one class room to another in one or two minutes should spend the rest of the time in social enjoyment, or promenading up and down the hall. And again, as I under stand it, the class must be in their places ready for work at the expiration of the five minutes, and not just entering the door. This should be remedied. It is attracting the attention of the faculty. Let us take this matter personally in hand and the cause of complaint will cease.
ED. VIEWS:—A few weeks ago I noticed a short View on a much needed reform. In regard to the manner of marking in chapel, the writer voiced the sentiments of many collegates, when he said that the only fair way of marking was for the committee to sit among the students and note the expression, voice, gestures, bearing of the speaker. There has been dissatisfaction in the past, as well as at present, and this matter should receive attention. LIKE MINDED.

HIBERNAL HOMILIES.
The bleak fields, the naked trees, the crisp piles of of dead leaves, the cool, frosty winds, all tell that Autumn has gone and that Winter again holds sway. Every where are seen the effects of the change. The editor announces that cord-wood, apples and potatoes will be received on subscription. The poor families lay in an extra dog or two to keep during the winter season. The student brings out his overcoat and salts down his ice cream trowers, and determines the exact location of the nearest coal-shed in his neighborhood. Ye Autumn Muser is no exception to the rule. The wind is a little too cold for his innocent, confiding nature, so he begs leave to make his bow, step down and out, and let the Hibernal Homilist come in. We are acquainted with the Homilist, he is a good fellow. We ask for him your kind attention and generous pardon for his short comings.
It is time that the students have a room set apart for a study and vacant hour room. As it is now there is not a single convenient place to study, offered to students while inside of the building; nor is there any place where they can even stay with comfort. Sometimes during my vacant hour I go into the library, but if the librarian sees my lips move am immediately shown the door; arrived in the halls again I meet the chancellor or some other Pat. profiling his beat, and again I am fired to some place, no one knows exactly where. So I wander sadly and wherever I turn I meet a cold pair of professional eyes which plainly says: No welcome here. If I were a smoker I would be tempted to go out doors and take a consoling cigarette, but as I don't smoke I am deprived of even this resort. So I think the faculty ought to give us a room, where we could study and not be afraid of being driven out if we happen to touch a chair with our foot. Give us a room with lexicons and dictionaryes and other little conveniences. Try this and I think that the faculty will be spared from doing so much police duty, and the corridors will be deserted during recitation hours.
Again a series of revival meetings are holding in our midst. Unlike the old time exhortations they are more quiet and have it seems to me, a more truly devout spirit. There has been in the past, and there is yet great donot in the minds of some people, whether or not such revival meetings are really productive of good. They think that their results are not lasting, that they take no firm and permanent hold on the soul, but merely fire it for a moment, and in the next it is as cold, perhaps colder than before. We know the truth in this, but yet I think that they do a great work in siring up religious sentiment and thought in a community, even though they last but a short time. The meetings in question have been very instructive and pleasant and well attended. No doubt much good has been done and no harm, this you *must* admit even if you do not believe in religion or God.
The seniors plug bats have failed to make their appearance as yet, so I am afraid I was a little too soon in praising their enterprise. It seems now that their talk is all bosh. Wake up '86, and show your spirit if you have any, for I doubt it very much. Come to the front with your plugs, and carry out a good scheme when you start it.
Perhaps some of the students think I am too much of a howler, always exhorting them to pay more attention to literary society work, to show more college spirit, and various other such things. But nevertheless, I shall continue to make a noise until I see a much greater number of students improving more of the splendid advantages of K. S. U. I am not writing on these subjects merely to fill space, or to make copie, but I am endowing to assist the students in making power, the gift as get as much good out of their college courses as they should, and occasionally as I notice some neglected opportunity for improvement, I try to point out, in the hope that I may benefit someone thereby. So seeing my principles, I hope my readers will endure my howls with greater patience.
