He *understands* they did so out of a reference to the revival meetings in progress. It is very likely indeed, that they withheld two or three lectures embracing a period of four or six weeks, out of deference to a sense of revival meetings which have occupied but two weeks. How beautifully considerate. The concluding portion of the gentleman's character view is marked by a spiteful malignity for which it is hard to find any justification. He has no right to justice and consistency to imitate the sincerity of those who express their views on questions in which they are interested, nor to assume that such expression of opinion is prompted by hypocrisy. According to such logic the honorable gentleman himself is deceitful and hypocritic in just the degree in which he is aware, and seemingly disinterested.

Friday morning and afternoon were spent by the delegates in hard work, surrounded by their sympathizing sisters of Lawrence. Friday evening they visited the halls of the Phi Psis and Betas.

The new M, E. "University" at Winfield is nearing completion. Why in the name of Heaven they call such institutions as the Baldwin, Ottawa and Winfield academies "Universities," is beyond the len of man.
Thanksgiving is over and all are back for hard study till Christmas vacation. What has each given thanks for? For of us could thank heaven that the State gives its youth such an opportunity for gaining an education as it does in the University.

No better location for the University could be found in the state than where it now stands. The Commencement says, "Mount Oread seems to have been designed by nature for the purpose to which it has been adapted, and the grand seat of learning sits proudly, reminding one of strength, which is an admirable thing to think about in connection with a State institution."
The I. C. Convention.
Thursday morning a secret session was held, until the Sorosis adjourned to dinner at Maud Mansfield's. In the evening they all attended the Usher Guard dance.
The delegates to the L. C., convention met and organized Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the art rooms. Miss Nell Custer, the Grand I. R., being detained by illness, Elva Plank, of Mt. Pleasant, was made G. I. R. pro tem. After hearing the reports from each chapter, the convention adjourned until Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Wednesday evening the delegates were informally received at the home of Sue Miles. A fine lunch was served, which was enjoyed by all after the manner of I. C.'s. They were treated during the evening to a fine serenade by their gentlemen friends.
To the Papers of the State.
Some papers in the State when speaking of the Cocaine say, "published under the auspices of the University," or "published in the interest of the University." Now, gentlemen, if you mean by this that the chancellor, faculty or regents have a word to say in regard to the publication, management or editorial policy, you are mistaken.
The Course belongs to the students. It is ours to publish and edit, ours to run as we please, and fight over if we want to. No professor or regent, or any one but the student editors, know what the Course will say or why it says it. When anything in the University management goes wrong, or we think it does, we say so and give our reasons, and so long as we pay our printer, the Course goes on.
We try to support the interests of the University in the same way the Topeka Capital and the Troy Chief support the political party to which they belong. But we want no "monkeying" and are not afraid to speak out in meeting; have done so, and will do it again when we feel like it. By this time we hope you understand our position. The University Coronium is the students' paper, nobody else's; and don't you forget it.
"Good Fraternity Man."
A fraternity man talking about his own society is probably the biggest liar of whom we have record. He is the only man who can lie more than the fraternity man talking about another society.
To be a "good fraternity men" is not a hard task. All you have to do is to say all the other franks are franks and snails, and be ready to call any body who disagrees with you a fool or a liar. If you doubt this, look at the "good fraternity men" in K. S. U.
This "good fraternity man" is a delusion and a snaare. He is narrow minded, bigoted and unprincipled. The professors dislike him, his fellow students despise him, and even his beloved brotherhood find no complimentary remark which they can muster up check enough to apply to him, except the euphonious force of "good fraternity man."
The genus "Greek" may be a necessary evil; but no good reason under heaven was ever given for the species "good fraternity man."
This evening we will listen to what is called the Oread-Orophilian oratorical contest. This is the first time to our knowledge that the societies have met in an oratorical contest. Whether this will be an annual contest we do not know, but the way it originated is rather a peculiar incident. Some time ago one of the societies challenged the other to a six handed debate, the question to be chosen by the contestants. The challenge was accepted, and the participants duly elected. The question was decided upon, and everybody was ready to hear the debate. Time flew by, but no debate. The contestants, finding themselves elected for a contest between the societies, decided that there was more honor in an oratorical contest than in a debate, and have concluded to hold the former. This is rather a bold step by these gentlemen, and they know not whether it is the will of the societies or not. We already have two yearly contests, and to add another to the list we think is a little too much. Rather let us have joint sessions and debates in the society halls, and we would have less scheming and wire pulling, of which so many elections to contests are the cause. Then the whole program would not be laid aside for an election, and more good would be derived from the literary societies.
The Contest.
Tax 1-6 of a Mill.
We have just received a marked copy of the University Counci referring to the article which recently appeared in the Troy Chief, opposing a constitutional amendment making provision for the support of the University by a direct tax. The point which the Chief makes in opposition to the change is that the control of the University will be taken out of the hands of the people and that the institution itself will become gorged with funds. Neither of these objections is a valid argument against the change. A tax of 1-6 of a mill will provide about $40,000. This amount is needed for the support of the institution. As the state grows the University will grow and its revenue should not be subject to the capricious will of a Kansas legislature. Kansas has a large number of petty colleges scattered throughout the state. Nearly every member of the legislature from a community in which one of these schools is situated, considers it his duty to antagonize the University appropriation, considering that by so doing they are advancing the interests of their local schools, which they look upon as rivals of the University. For keeping the University under the control of the people, the best plan to pursue would be to make the office of regent an elective one. Michigan follows the above course, and were a similar policy adopted in Kansas we would soon have a school that would compare favorably with Ann Arbor. — Solomon Valley Democrat.
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving day of eighteen hundred eighty-five will be remembered as a day of gloom and sadness by the people of the United States. The flag at half must, the display of drapery, the tolling bell, the muffled drum. What means it all? The vice president is dead. The day set forth for pleasure and rejoicing, is suddenly changed to one of weeping and mourning. Letters and telegrams of condolence were received by the family of the distinguished one from all parts of the country, irrespective of party or class. A peculiar thing is death, and most noticeably in the recent case. While Mr. Hendriks was living he was not only praised, but on the other hand condemned for the deeds he performed in the interest of his country. Those who were but a short time ago denouncing him, are now the first to credit him with being a great statesman and a worthy public servant.
At the time we write the people are in a wild speculation as to who should take the place of the deceased one, and doubtless before this reaches our reader's eyes, some one will virtually have been chosen to fill the vacancy. It seems that the Republicans have a majority in the position, and no law having yet been provided to meet this occasion, one of their number will most likely be chosen as vice president. Public opinion of that party seems to have centered on Logan as the one to have the honor, simply because he was the choice of his party for that position last year, and did not succeed in the election last fall. For the latter reason we think he should not be elected. He might have been the choice of his party, but he certainly was not the choice of the people. If he is nominated it will be a test on the character of Mr. Logan. Through courtesy he should decline the position for the simple reason that a majority of the votes of the American people were not cast in his favor in the recent election.

STUDENTS VIEWS.
My attention has frequently been called to harsh remarks made about fraternity dances. Many of these remarks were spoken carelessly, some maliciously, while others were dropped by others who knew not of what they spoke. These dances have been spoken of as "too expensive for students"; as "taking too much time from the studies;" as "degrading in their tenacity"; and as "having a bad moral influence upon those who attend." I am a fraternity man, and a dancer. I regard dancing as a recreation far above base ball, foot bull or billiards. If it is "too expensive for students," those who attend certainly would be the first to find it out. The remarks about the expense come mostly from those who spend their time and money in the billiard halls or worse places.
As to "taking too much time from the studies," that is the most hog wash. I will venture to say that not one student in twenty-five, studies Friday evening. No fraternity pretends to give dances oftener than once in two weeks, and every student can certainly give that much time to social amusements. As to their "degrading tendency," and "bad moral influence," it is hardly worth while to speak, as they are so manifestly absurd. Degrading, indeed, to spend one evening in two weeks in the society of young ladies you admire and respect. The man who says that the influences of dancing are immoral is either a brute by nature or a bigot by profession.
We are here to educate ourselves in the broadest sense of the word. When we leave here we are supposed to be "educated gentlemen." I hold that the man who can not carry himself with ease, grace and dignity in the presence of ladies, is no gentleman. I regard the fraternity dance as elevating in its tendency, as well calculated to inspire noble sentiments and aspirations, and as an amusement and recreation the best and cheapest that can be devised. The only fault that I can find is that they are not held every week instead of every two weeks.
LIGHT FANTASTIC.
I believe I express the wish of a large majority of the students in asking the "Greeks" (alleged) and "Burbs" (perhaps) who are howling on the fraternity subject, to give us a rest. You don't convince any one, and you make us tired. If you must shoot off for the satisfaction of yourselves, give your poor fellow student a thought, and shut up.

STUDENT.
I want to take my Herculean club in band for four or five inches of your valuable space to defend my unfortunate friend who was so presuming as to dare to advocate the inauguration of a lecture course. I can see in this nothing to justify the savage assault made upon him. The gentleman's sarcasm was so withering and bitter that it must have been dipped in his own gall.
The gentleman insinuated that the major portion of the "unhappy wight's time" was spent in the halls or billiard rooms. A magnanimous innendo, which, perhaps, is applicable to the gentleman himself, as to the unfortunate object of his high displeasure. The next gratuitous piece of Solonian wisdom is the startling information that the lecture committee had very considerably withheld two or three lectures. They have been withheld very considerably indeed; but we shall give the grateau credit for sufficient sagacity to mean considerably. Even this, his defence, is characterized by an artless simple-hearted credence of bearsy
No one doubts the truth of the oma maxim, "As the twig is bent, the树 is inclined." Reasoning from this I say, "As the college politics, so are the national politics." If our students were to inaugurate a new system of college politics, or give the old one a thorough cleansing, the next generation of boys would not be the corruption that we every day hear our fathers speak of. I think a new system would be far better, for the old one is so rotten that I think it is beyond cleansing. You know how loud it smelt on the second day of the Freshman class meeting, and this is only one phase of its character. At the last election of Orophilian II displayed another side of its nature its savage ferocity and sly cunningness. The frats do not alone possess this; neither do the barbs; it is about six of one and a half dozen of the other.
The dangers of the State have been repeatedly set before us from the ruin of the chapel. But has it remedy of these wrongs and danger be equally set before us? At person can see wrongs, but who is remedy them? Should any wrong danger be pointed out to us with giving at the same time some remedy Where does the danger lie that have over our State? Some will say in the ballot box; or the canvass, when money and barter are used to vote; or in the conventions the nominate the candidates; or in the caucuses, where some "political boots" put in his own men as delegates the convention, and they say this done because the good citizens do not attend the caucuses. Are the stay-at-home citizens loyal to the State? But is there not a deep danger than these?
College Politics.
Now, barbs and fruits, you are the two parties of old K. S. U., and the whole responsibility of this rests with you. Which one of you will be the champion of this grand reform Either of you are strong enough to undertake it and carry it through The first one that publicly takes the stand on the right side of this question is the winning party. Any fine-minded student that will look at this question frankly will see that hideous beast (the present system of college politics) skulking around in unseamed corners ready to pounce upon any thing or any person that it thinks it can glut its vengeance. Arise and act. E.
