Prof Marvin... Influence of Earths motion on moving bodies.
B. E. Riggs
Dr. Snow...Scientific Review Notes
We are receiving weekly two copies of the University Courier, one under the management of MLCaren & Kerr, and the other, Fritz & Sullivan. It seems that McLaren and Kerr were dissatisfied with the election of the corps of editors, and, instead of starting a paper to suit themselves, they copied the advertisements, etc., from the Courier and distributed among the students and sent to exchanges a paper bearing the Courier's name and motto, and resembling it in every respect.
We think this a very cowardly act, beffitting a ten year old school boy more than advanced college students.—Baldwin Index.
W. M. Culbertson returned Saturday from Illinois where he has been on a tour of inspection to the various mines to examine the quality of coal mined. He carries several varieties of Illinois coal, anthracite and all the best Kansas coals which he can supply to customers in car load lots or by retail. Mr. Culbertson has been in the coal business for over twenty years and is thoroughly posted as to the merits of the various kinds of coal on the market. In view of his experience it is reasonable to suppose that the coal recently ordered will be of the best the market affords, at any rate it will arrive in a few day when people can have an opportunity to judge for themselves
A NEW SUPPLY OF COAL.
Boys genuine seal skin caps for $1.25 at Stelberg's.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 30, 1885
Dr. Nichols received a chronograph this week from Paris. It is a very fine instrument, being made especially by the order of the Physies Department by Duboseq in Parts at a cost of $250.
Company H. K. N. G. gave the second of its series of hops last Friday night. This company aside from being the best drilled in the State, is composed of a fine class of young men who are in the front rank of Lawrence society and consequently understand how to give a first class dance.
MILITARY BALL.
The hop last Friday night was given in Frazier's hall, with about thirty couples in attendance. Music was furnished by Buchi's orchestra for the occasion, which as a matter of course was first class. The company intends to give an informal hop every two weeks, and four dress balls during the course of the year. One of these balls will be given on Thanksgiving's night, one on Christmas, one on Washington's birthday and one as a grand finale to the whole series.
The class of '88 met in Prof. Miller's room at the end of the fourth hour, and was called to order by E. A. Wheeler, president pro tem. The following officers were elected for the coming year. President, Jack Schall; vice-president, E. L. Ackley; secretary, Miss Mau Thrasher; treasurer, John Prescott, poet, Miss May Webster; prophet, W. E. Higgins; reporter, Agnei Lune.
As Mr. Fritz met with remarkable success with the circuses which have so much delighted the Faculty and "Preps" in the past, he was unanimously elected as circus manager for the coming year, with instructions to "work the first circus that came along. The feasibility of a class dance was then discussed but was postponed until the next meeting. No further business appearing the classes adjourned.

The October months still continue to come in and sit down at our table. A number of these are marked No.1. This seems like a species of inaziness. All the colleges begin in September and when a college paper gets out its first number the third week in October it does not speak well for the enterprise of *ge editor*.
EXCHANGES.
No.8.
The Occident, with its pale blue cover and bright pages, is always welcome. We would respectfully rise to inquire what the seven business managers find to do.
The Mirror is good, what there is of it. It is slightly mistaken in its notions, when it laughs at our motto, but we forgive it, since it says "We like the Courier."
The University from Chicago has in its list of contributors, Cancellor J. A. Lippincott.
The Ottawa Campus comes from our Baptist friends on the Marlas des Cygnes. It comes so rarely that we had forgotten all about it.
The Wesleyan Bee has changed its clothes and comes out as a semi-monthly. The last number is nearly filled by the speech of its representative at the State contest.
It seems strange to us that our University is so often accused of having no literary papers when the Review claims to be so exclusively literary. In all our college exchanges we fail to find any notice of our high-searing cotemporary.
We also acknowledge the receipt of the following, this week: Bodger, College Review, Lehigh Burr, Denison News, Hinii, College World, College Transcript, Solomon Sentinel, Literary Monthly, The Hatchet, Index, Observer, Simpsonian, Hillsdale Herald, College Journal, Collegian, Holland, Hesperman, Epoch.
WHAT THE COURIER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
Which is the first base ball nine?
Why Yoke thinks the season is too far advanced to play ball?
If it isn't about time for the Faculty to have another party?
Whether the "harbs" think that Sigma Nu is a fraternity or not?
If McLaren is a non-fraternity man?
Why Graham cursed and swore?
Why Curry ripped and tore?
If this keeps up what is to come of the, Y. M. C. A.
Which society will win in the December contest?
Which society elected its representatives without a combination?
When it became fashionable to discuss candidates, records in the nominating speeches?
Where is the college that can beat K. S. U. in college or "frat" publications?
How Morgan likes this issue or his old paper?
Which is the "war" society now?
If Oread politicians could not have given Orophillians a pointer or two?
How many of the boys heard Gilmore's band from the "starry realms"?
If the Oratorical Association has started well?
If the Courten isn't an enterprising alcheet?
If the Coccur enlarged isn't, in deed, a dialysis?
If the Commun isn't *the* popular paper, and if it oughtn't be?
Why the "barbs" don't put on
"barb" when they organize?
