UNIVERSITY COURIER.
Five minutes are allowed students to go to and from their recitations.
The smiling face of Miss Belle Parker was seen in the halls last Wednesday.
Albert Perry, well known among the older set of the University, was around gossiping with the boys during the past week. His recent additions to the chin made him almost unrecognizable.
Wednesday evening, September 27th, will be presented at Bowersock's opera house Mr. Marble's play of the "States Attorney," drawn from real life in a Quaker district in Northern Pennsylvania. The play is full of pathos and humor, blended in such sequence that the interest is heightened in every act, and laughter and tears come and go as the story develops.
John Dillon, whom all know as a commedian of the highest rank, will take the character of "Pilgrim Boggs, the States Attorney."

The first class party of the season came off last Saturday evening. In response to an invitation of Miss Mabel Wemple the members of '85 gathered at the residence on the corner of Massachusetts and Quincy streets. On entering the door emblazoned mottoes of greeting on the walls were first to catch the eye. At 11 o'clock the young folks-or old folks we might say, for they are Seniors-repaired to the dining hall, where the class satisfied their inner cravings. Appropriate toasts were made for the occasion. The party broke up at a late hour.
Charley Davidson, of Wichita, an old student, is in the city.

Holiday was well observed by the students, many of whom witnessed the regatta, fair and operas all. A remittance from "Pa" will be next in order.
Devotees of base-ball and foot-ball will be sorry to learn that the plat of ground on South Massachusetts street, used for so many years by the K. S. U. atheletes, has been sold and will be fenced this winter. It is difficult to find in the city a place that can now be used for field sports, and none can be chosen so convenient and suitable.
Young people of the West, if you want a good business education, do not go to Eastern schools, when the Lawrence Business College offers you advantages equal to those of any school of the same kind in our land. Those unable to attend day sessions may profit by going to evening school.
