As a result of a feeling on the part of those interested in both the Times and Courier, that two weekly papers were more than could be published profitably in the University, the parisans of both papers have agreed to suspend the publication of their respective papers and to unite in the publication of a new weekly on which both sides would have an equal representation. This effort has culminated in the publication of the UNIVERSITY, KANSAN and thosewho have undertaken the management of it for the present, will spare no endeavor to make it a credit to the University. Factions will be unknown in its columns.
No old student can help but be glad that the fight of last year is not to be repeated. New students who know nothing of the controversy are to be congratulated that it is so. In the
future it is the hope of the UNIVERSITY KANSAN that no more such disputes will arise, and that all the students will be united in the endeavor to publish a paper in the interests of the University.

This year more than ever before the demand for good rooms for students has been hard to fill. The question of rooms for students is becoming a serious one. Any number of inferior rooms may be obtained, but desirable rooms are exceedingly scarce, and if the number of students continues to increase as it has the past years without any increase of the number of rooms for rent, it would be a profitable investment for somebody to build houses especially suited for rooming. This plan has been tried and found to work well in other schools, and there is no reason why it will not here.
PERHAPS nothing has ever met with such hearty approval from the students and the friends of the University generally, as the appointment of Prof. Snow as president of the faculty.
Prof. Snow has the entire confidence of all who know him, and while he is at the head of the faculty, everyone feels that the management of the affairs will be in competent and willing hands.
It would probably be useless to make the usual statement that "the University never opened with such bright prospects before," but to persons in Lawrence several days before the term began it appeared that the number of new students arriving was unprecedented. This not only appeared to be the case, but really was. Although there were as many rooms to rent as usual, there were fewer vacant rooms on the first day of the term than on the same day of any previous year.

ONE of the noticeable things to an old student returning to the University, is the improvement in the library, both in the amount of space and the appearance of the rooms.
The Law room has been added to the library, new tables have been placed in the rooms, and everything has been repainted and revarnished, giving the place a much neater and inviting appearance. Much of this is due to the efforts of the Librarian, Miss Watson, and the students who use the library are to be congratulated that some one, so thoughtful of their interests, is in charge of it.
In other evidences were wanting to prove the esteem that is had for our University by educated men, the recent action action of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity in granting a charter to the University would suffloiently establish the fact.
Phi Beta Kappa is an honorary society, and good scholarship is a qualification for membership. K. S. U. is the first University west of the Mississippi that has been considered of sufficient standing to receive a charter from this society and it is certainly an event of which to be proud.
The roll of the fraternity contains the names of such men as Profs. J.
H. and A.G.Canfield, Prof.Wilecox and Prof.Marsh which is a sufficient assurance of the high standing of the fraternity, to all acquainted with these gentlemen.

New students entering the University are always anxious to know something about the Literary Societies, Athletic Associations, etc.; and in order that they may get this information, the KANSAN will endeavor to give a short account of each one, so that a student desiring to join any of them may know what they are and the aims of each.
Of Literary Societies, there are three : Orophilian, Athenaeum and Palladium.
Orophilian is the oldest of these, having had an unbroken existence almost from the foundation of the University. The literary work is of a high class and meetings are held every Friday evening at 8 p.m. in Orophilian Hall, on the third floor, North, of the University building. Interesting programs are presented at all of these meetings and visitors are always made welcome.
Athenaeum holds its meetings at the same time as Orophilian in Oread Hall, third floor South, University building. Athenaeum has been in existence since the spring of '87, and it has all the energy of youth, and the character and value of its work is unsurpassed by that of any other society in the University. Anyone wanting plenty of good practice in literary work can find it in the hall of this vigorous young society.
Palladium was founded last year, for what reason, it is not known, as the two existing societies were all that the demand required. However it has been as successful as could be expected of so young a society. It meets every Saturday night in the court house.
Besides the literary societies the various departments of the University are represented by special organizations.
The Science Club holds meetings in Snow Hall every other Friday at 8 p. m. Although it was designed primarily for scientific students, it receives members from all departments of the University. Without saying anything unfavorable to any of the other associations, it is far to say that no society in the University is more prosperous or successful than the Science Club. The programs are always well prepared and interesting to all who attend. An annual meetis held at the close of each year at which papers on original work only are allowed. Visitors are cordially welcomed to all of its meetings with perhaps one exception, namely, the semi-annual "IT," to which mysterious jamboree none but members are admitted.
As its name implies, the Philological Club is devoted to the study of the origin and evolution of language. It has for its members principally those who are doing special work in this line, although it receives members from any department. The meetings are held in the Greek room every other Friday at 8 p.m. Visitors are welcome.
. The Political Science Club was organized in the spring of '88 by Prof.
J. H. Canfield, and its membership is limited to students in Prof. Canfield's department. The club deals with the topics of the day and endeavors to give its members an insight to the financial and industrial world. The meetings are always interesting to visitors.
The University Telegraph Club was organized in February, '88, by Prof. L. I. Blake. The idea of the club is to give the students of the physics department opportunity for practical work and original investigation. The number of members is limited to twenty-five. The line extends from the University to the Western Union office, thence into West Lawrence and back to the University making a complete metallic circuit. Standard time is received over the line every morning from the observatory at St. Louis.
The Oratorical Association of the Students of K. S. U. was organized Feb. 7, 1889, and is successor to the Oratorical Association, made defunct by the action of the state association at its last meeting, held in Emporia. The aim of the association is to promote the art of oratory.
The Foot Ball association was organized last year. It meets for praecery Saturday during good weather. Though a new association it has already developed several good players, and promises to hold a prominent place among the athletic associations.
The Base Ball association is the one that is a pride to every student. For two years the nine has not met with a defeat and it promises to continue with the same record this year
The University Tennis Association was organized in September, '87. Some of the best players in the state are enrolled among its members and its champion teams have won a fair share of the contests.
The Young Ladies Tennis Club was organized in March,'88. The young ladies belonging to it have become quite proficient in the use of the racquet and make very formidable rivals for their gentlemen friends.
Of the fraternities it is hardly necessary to speak, for every student that comes to the University soon learns all—and sometimes more than he wants to know—about them.
Beta Theta Pi, the first fraternity to enter the University, came in 1872. Almost at the same time the L. C. Sorosis, now known as the Pi Beta Phi fraternity established a chapter here. Phi Kappa Psi followed in '76, Kappa Alpha Theta, in '77; Phi Gamma Delta, in '82; Phi Delta Theta, in '82; Sigma Chi, in '84; Kappa Kappa Gamma, in 85; and Sigma Nu, in '86. Most of these fraternities have good chapters here and are in a flourishing condition.
We are indebted to Herb Hadley for taking charge of the locals and personals this week.
Improvements.
THE Review comes out to-day with Harvey Bear as editor-in chief and N. C. Brooks and W. E. Swank as business managers. The Review has always been a credit to the University and, with the above persons to direct its course, there is no doubt that it will continue to maintain its past high standard.
The old student as well as the new, will doubtless see much to admire when he first enters the University for the coming year.
Ceiling, floor and walls are bright and clean from a thorough overhauling. New matting has been placed in the halls. Swinging doors show the entrance to the spacious reading room. The arrangement of the room has been changed, and the furniture is more complete, which adds to its beauty and comfort. Miss Watson sits smilingly behind a brand new desk, and tickets as of yore, procure admission to the alcoves.
Here the greatest changes have been made. The old law room is now library room. The books have been entirely re-arranged, and the K. S. U. library is now one to be proud of. Many volumes have been added to it during the summer. Several thousand dollars worth of books are yet to be received this year. The change in the appearance of the library is about as marked as when it was moved two years ago from the south end to its present location.
The law room is now what was the ladies' cloak room; the evolution seems to be from hooks to crooks. The cloak room is now in the basement. The lunch counters have been removed to the old reservoir room, under the regents' room. Up stairs again, Prof. A. G. Canfield has moved back to his old quarters, and the painting and drawing rooms will be upon the third floor. These, with many other minor changes, constitute the improvements of the summer of eighty-nine.
