We present you, students, professors and friends of the University, with the first number of the TIMES. As we have commenced the publication of another paper in the University, it is but proper that we state fully and frankly the reasons which have impelled us to take this step and also to state the aims of the paper, which we will do. We think all will agree that the State University of Kansas should have one weekly paper. This paper should be a good paper and also a thoroughly representative paper. In a word it should be a students paper. Now students we ask your hearty support. We think it is your duty to give this support provided we can prove two things. (1) that the TIMES will be a first class college paper and in every way a representative paper—one for all the students and not for a pet scheme. (2) that we have no such paper in the University at present. As to the first point, we can only pledge you our word that it should be earnest endeavor to make the TIMES a good paper and a paper for all the students and this we do for further proof of our sincerity, you must read the paper as it appears from week to week, and carefully scrutinize its policy. Now we come to the question. Had we previous to the appearance of the TIMES a good representative weekly in the University?
To answer this question is not a pleasant task but as we are asking your support of a new College weekly, it is our duty to answer it frankly and truthfully. We have no such weekly paper in the University except the Times. We have nothing to say against any student personally. The students who are now managing the University Courier are all fine young men, so far as we know. Many of them are intimate friends of the projectors of the Times, but that does not alter the fact, the Courier is not a paper for all the students. The Courier for several years has been run by two fraternities. No students outside of these two fraternities has had any effective voice in determining the policy of the paper. It may be said that any one was at liberty
to buy stock in the company. True, but who wants to purchase stock in a company that refuses to produce any constitution and by laws under which it is doing business? This the Courier company have refused to do for several years. It has in fact refused to be a company except in name. It has no constitution. It's shares are boundless. It keeps no adequate records of its meetings and none of its business. Now students, we have stated our case, and we look to you for support. Which will you have, the Courier or the TIMES.
Pursuant to all, from a large and influential body of students, a mass meeting was held in the University chapel on last Tuesday for the purpose of considering the ways and means of starting a new weekly University paper.
Owing to the uniminity of feeling it favor of the enterprise, it was at once decided to form a stock company for that purpose. The number of shares was placed at fifty (50), valued at $2.50 each, and to be sold to any member of the University. A recess of five minutes was then taken in which time the sale of every share was effected. The stockholders then elected the following officers and board of editors; Pres. T. Hunt; Sec., J. D. Bowersock; Treas. F. E. Ree; Editor-in-chief, L' A. Stebbins; Associate editors: Munford, Hollsinger, Stanley Smith, H. F. M. Bear, P. Wilkinson, Simmons, Helen Sutliff, Maud Springer, Tella Chapman, Florence Reasoner, Martindale and Merrifield. Business managers, W. A. White and C. E. Street. The board of editors is an excellent one; it represents fully and fairly every element in University society and under its management the success of this enterprise is assured. After the appointment of committees on permanent organization and constitution, the meeting adjourned to meet again on Wednesday, Oct. 10th, for the purpose of adopting Constitution and By Laws.
--we look around and What do we see?
Among the many enterprises suggested and recommended in our college publications is frequently found that of the gymnaium, but it has been demonstrated by the extreme tinnidity with which our State Legislature deals out appropriations for our benefit that the realization of such a scheme is far in the future.
Yet why be discouraged when thwarted on one hand? There yet remains a thousand and one ways of reaching the same end. The tennis courts, (of which there should be many more,) to be seen in the "students quarter" of Lawrence prove the fact that a few are availing themselves of one of the most healthful exercises. The "diamond" also has its attractions, but compared with the mass of our students, there are very few who have the skill or the inclination to indulge in these sports. There still remains one of the most important means of gaining invigorating exercise—viz. walking. There are K. S. U's, Walking Clubs. Go to your professor and ask him how the students of his eastern college supported the life and energy necessary to complete with a strong constitution, a four years college course, and you will find that prominent among his recollections of college sports will be memories of those long, tiresome, yet ever pleasant jaunts over hill and vale to the neighboring villages, lakes or mountains. He can interest you for an hour with descriptions, most interesting, of scenes, both plain and picturesque, which varied the otherwise monotonous tramp. To be sure we have none of New England's rocky cliffs or cataracts in Kansas, yet the Kaw valley has attractions of equal interest to the Kansan of the plains and prairies.
Then why not organize walking clubs and forget, at least once a week, the tedious routine of days and months continuously spant in the class room.
In this kind of recreation all can engage—ladies as well as gentlemen—and surely the points of interest cannot be wanting—There is "The Lake." Lecompton, far famed Eudora and even Baldwin, which all have their charms. What we want is more air—more exercise, and fewer round shoulders, weak uungs and frail constitutions.

We want you to wear it.
We have brought your knitting and have
gave it.
We make our little bow We look around and

We see the new student who thinks he is a monkey.
We see the Frat man rushing and the Bards on the balcony.
We see the Botsas and the Phi Delta;
We see tae Phi Psia and the Phi Gams and the Sigma Chis and Sigma Nus, all lighting out of the dark.
We see the Review and Winnouth rasting for it.
We see the Courier and the grand prepa ration for its funeral.
We see blub knee-deep on the moon and all eyes turned on the moon.
We see eagles flying and the fellows siting around thinking they are having a good time and all the girls trying to talk, and say nothing.
We see eagles flying and see that we are of and among these things.
Yet there are no unbucklec our vests straps and yell.
Let us draw in all the air for seven blocks and tear up the earth and snort.

A communication was handed in for publication in one of the down town paper by a prominent member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. It was rescued from the waste basket by our view editor. As this is a student's paper we are glad to hear from any well meaning students and if such would send their communications to the University Times instead of to the down town papers, they would save the janitors of those offices considerable trouble in sweeping out. The name of the writer will be made known on application.
A second meeting of the Republican students of the University was held last Tuesday evening in the hall of the Lawrence club, and a permanent organization was effected. The committee on Constitution made a report recommending that the constitution of the Republican party be adopted and the meeting so decided. The following officers were then elected; President, A. L. Wilmoth; Vice-President, C. W. Butterworth; Secretary C. E. Street; Treasurer, C. S. Hall; Executive Committee, Geo. Holsinger, S. C. Wescott, M. Wixon.
There were about forty present and the meeting was one full of enthusiasm. A number of rousing speeches were made which gave evidence of considerable study of the political questions of our country. It was decided not to meet again until a week from Friday night as on next Friday a number desire to attend the rally at Baldwin. The energy and enthusiasm with which the young men have entered into the work shows that they are fully alive to the importance of the present campaign.
Prof. Dyche is engaged in mounting the skin of one of the antelopes procured by Will Brown, on the W. T. Horn-day expedition into Montana Territory.
The library is rapidly filling up and Miss Watson and her assistant are busily engaged in indexing the books which have been added to the library. Below is given a list of the accession up to date for the benefit of those interested in the welfare of the University.

The need of better library facilities at the University is keenly felt by both professors and students. Donations have been received from a number of public spirited gentlemen and the number of books is slowly increasing, but not rapidly enough to keep pace with the demand. Prof. Canfield is very anxious to procure the volumes of a famous publication now scarce. In a letter to Bion S.Hutchins, secretary of the Republican State Central committee, he says: "For several years I have tried to secure the means to place within the library a full set of Nile's Weekly Register. This you will doubtless remember was published in Baltimore between 1811 and 1836. It is an invaluable collection of facts and opinions on all the activities of our national life and especially on political affairs. Just at present it is especially valuable as containing the largest collection of matter bearing upon the origin and growth of the tariff system from the standpoint of protection. Not only does it include all material scattered through the various public documents not now accessible, but with the greatest possible industry, as well as with no small editorial ability an immense number of papers, documents, memorials, testimony delivered before special committees and similar matters not now found anywhere outside of this set, are gathered together and given in unabridged form. The set comprises fifty volumes and will cost nearly $200, probably quite that with freight charges from New York or Washington here.
"Cannot the State Central Committee out of the fund in its hands," for the sake of the cause," secure one of these sets and donate it to the University library. If not, do you not know of some leading Republicans in the State interested in the tariff discussion and in the University, who will contribute between them enough to enable us to make this valuable addition to this library."

The Athletics have the call in Philadelphia, and their games are better attended than those in any other Association city. The games of the "Phillies" are very lightly attended, the crowd seidom of late exceeding a thousand.
The Cincinnati players are confident of finishing second in the race. They have but three remaining games to play away from home and those are in St. Louis. The Louisville games will in all probability be due to this city.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
The Brooklyn and the Athletic clubs are both after the services of John Corkhill for next season. The Athletics want him to replace Poorman in right field. Corkhill says he would prefer to play in Philadelphia, where he is a great favorite.
