The library has been greatly improved this summer, and Prof. Miller has spared no pains to perfect it in every department.
The Oread society will have an exceptionally fine program for next Friday. All new students, as well as old ones, will be welcomed.
The faculty are certainly increasing. During the summer two of our most popular professors have doubled their number, and Dyche and Brownell never tire receiving congratulations from their many friends. Who will be next?

The Freshmen are enjoying the roller coaster. The Sophs would, only they are financially embarrassed.
It is quite the thing to recognize the moustaches and sideburns which have developed during the summer.
"And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, that one small face could carry all my moustache." —Harry Riggs.
Board was never so high and boarding places never so scarce as this year. This fact revives the clamor for a students' dormitory and boarding house on the hill.
It now becomes our extreme pleasure to report the happy union of our esteemed professor of elocution, to Miss Sarah Furniss, of Waterloo, New York, on the 25th of August. In the short time he has been with us, Prof. Brownell has won the regard and esteem of faculty, students and citizens, who will all unite in welcoming him and his bride to Lawrence and the University.
Prof. Dyche and W. H. Brown made up the usual University scientific excursion, and this year camped upon the Pecos river, near Las Vegas, New Mexico. The expedition was a great success, and many valuable specimens were brought back. Two cignamon bears will ornament our museum, and bear witness to the truth of Prof. Dyche's well known bear stories. Ten deer, two martins, nine foxes, eighteen hundred specimens of plants, bugs, and other insects without number, and an extensive collection of minerals attest the good work. Our laboratories are now quite large, and are being added to. N. B.—Prof Dyche captured one dear after his return.
John and Will Findley have bidden K. S. U. good bye.
The popular and esteemed professor, L. L. Dyche, has at last thrown aside the bonds of single life, to assume the higher ones of wedlock. In the city of Sterling he found the young lady whom he thought the one to grace his house, and no longer sighs for a fair hand to soften his grief or heighten his joy. The young lady was Miss Ophelia Axtell, and those acquainted with her are enthusiastic in praise of the professor's choice. Prof. Dyche has been with the University as student and professor for many years, and each succeeding one has added to his popularity. In his favorite sciences he is without a superior among the rising men of the time, and by his energy, push and ability will no doubt attain the highest place. He was the editor of the Courier, who made the scientific department so readable, and the best wishes of his old associates and successors go with him and his bride on the journey of life.

Lock Box 197, Lawrence, Kan.
GREETING.
The WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER greets its old friends, and hopes to make the acquaintance of all the new students. The paper is issued forty times during the college year, is devoted solely to local news, is run in the interest of the whole body of students and is furnished for the great sum of fifty cents per year. "Locals," "Personals," society gossip and "Views," will be gladly received from all. Literary disquisitions are not desired, and will not be accepted.
To the Business Men.
We owe many thanks to the Lawrence business men for their generous patronage, in the face of most disreputable opposition and misrepresentation regarding the Courier, and we trust we have given all "value received." As a prominent merchant said, "so much attention has been called to the Courier by this boycotting business, that it is the best advertising medium we have." We desire to treat all fairly, and be treated fairly.
Give Us a Change.
To entreat certain society members to stop squabbling, is like asking babies not to cry—the advice is good but not likely to be taken. We beg these belligerents, however, if the contests must be kept up, to conduct them in a gentlemanly manner. If political ends must be reached, do it by parliamentary tactics and shrewdness, and not by personal abuse. Finally, have enough respect for members who desire good work to allow them to have their literary programs first. Then do your fighting after they have gone.
The Immaculate Independents.
Nothing is doing more to bring collegiate education into disrepute with the American people than the attempt of certain professors in eastern colleges to arrogate to themselves the dictatorship of national politics; and failing in this, to attempt the assassination of the party they pretend to embrace.
If the tendency of all our colleges was to make students despise the common laborers of the land, frown on originality, berate American political economy, carp at our administrative methods, ape English customs and toady to the politicians of rival nations, then the question might well be raised, "Is not our collegiate education a farce?"
Happily, however, colleges are but the mirrors of the localities in which they are located. Within the shadow of Bunker Hill they have all the haughty arrogance of superfine and hypocritical Boston. In Kansas and the west they have all the liberality, enthusiasm and good fellowship of our people—the "western rowdies" and "cowboys."
When the common sense of this country ceases to rule, and the educational goods of Harvard and Yale begin their dictatorship, we may expect the sun to revolve around the earth, and the earth to pay like homage to its sister, the moon. Meanwhile, don't be alarmed.
Gone.
To our inquiries for absent students we often receive the answer, "O, he's got into business, but will return next year." But he will not return. The enchantment of money-making is too great. Whatever may be their thoughts now, a year hence those students will find their love for money greater than their love for college. More money, they think, can be made by continuing at work. Twenty years hence they will learn their mistake, but it will then be too late.
---
Vacation has at least one good effect—it makes the boys forget their petty society animosities, and remember only that they are students bound together by the ties of college fellowship. The vacation grip is always a warm one. A few weeks of school, however, will revive the old time ill-feeling. "Why should such things be?"
For new students, unacquainted with the origin and aims of the UNIVERSITY COURIER, we restate our principles :
1. One-half the shares fraternity, one-half non fraternity.
2. One-half the editorial staff fraternity, one-half non fraternity men.
3. Representation to all desiring it.
---
Two anonymous articles have been consigned to the waste basket of the "Views" editor. One was a screed against a popular student, and the other a history of the recent attempt to sell out the Courier. Writers' names will not be published, but must be furnished the "Views" editor.
The UNIVERSITY COURIER comes out Friday morning. Fifty cents a year.
---
In the mid-summer edition of the Courier was an article under this head, advocating a renewed interest in this branch.
Athletics.
We wish to call the attention of new students and old, to the fact that we have an Athletic Association, and that it is deserving your hearty support. By good earnest work we can have a boat club added to our base ball and foot ball teams before winter.
In reference to field day, here is a suggestion that we think worthy of consideration: As we had no field day sports last spring, why not have our field day this fall. It is the custom in many institutions to have both a fall and spring field day. On election day all patriotic students could enter some of the sports, as the supporter of their favorite candidate, and if the association will take vigorous action, we can soon expect a day of sports that will be a credit to our University. To the officers elected last year we would say, work for the general success of the Association, and we are confident that it will succeed.
Y. M. C. A. Notes.
The Association rooms are being rearranged and refitted for the work of the coming fall and winter. The large hall will be thrown open through the week as a reading and reception room, and the secretary's desk will also be placed in this room. The old reading room will be used as a chapel for the smaller meetings of the Association. The hall-way will be closed and used for a store room, and the front hall-way will be neatly carpeted. The parlor will remain as it has been, and the former office will be used for a committee and conversation room, and as the headquarters of the Douglas County Bible Society.
The Association holds a gospel meeting for everybody in the large hall, every Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock; a young men's meeting, for young men only, in the small chapel, on Friday evening, at 8 o'clock; and a daily meeting in the chapel, every day, from 4 to 4:30.
The Iron Clad Gallery proposes to grant such reduction on prices to students as will compell their attention. Call and see samples and prices.
New classes in all the departments at the Business College will be organized Monday, September 15th. Call at the office for particulars, or address Boor & McLravy.

SCHOOL FOR MIDDLE-aged STUDENTS
THE WILDCAT DIVISION OF THE K. S. U. SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION, IN CHARGE OF PROF. DYCHE.
ITS STORY BY ONE OF ITS MEMBERS.
We were encamped during the first part of the summer in a beautiful valley known to hunters as Hungry canon, situated on the western slope of the Spanish Mountains, thirty-five miles northwest of Las Vegas. We had considerable difficulty in going from Harvey's ranch to the canon, on account of the vast snow fields which lay on our route. The small feet of the donkeys, or burros, frequently cut through the crust, and they were usually obliged to flounder about in the drifts from an hour and a half to two hours before we could dig them out. It snowed for two days after our arrival at Hungry canon, but the weather soon moderated, though ice still formed nearly every night.
The cinnamon bears that Prof. Dyche killed were perfect monsters of strength and ferocity. We had only been there about a week when he killed the first one. A single shot from his Sharp's rifle dispatched him. As soon as the bear was shot he set up a roar, howl, bellow or whatever it may be called, that could be heard for miles. I can't exactly describe the noise; it is something between the roar of a lion and the bellow of a bull. The first time I heard it my hair raised, my hat flew off and I almost lost the soles of my shoes. But I was going to tell you what the bear did. He did not give up the ghost instantly. It took him seventeen minutes after he was shot to die, and during that time he howled, pawed up the earth, rolled in the mud, pulled up bushes, knocked down trees, bit, tore, slapped and scatched everything in his reach. He was not long in getting scent of the object that had put him in such agony, and made for it at a lively pace. But death was approaching too rapidly for him to go far. Skillful as Prof. Dyche is with a gun he admits that he felt rather queer when the old fellow was coming towards him. Old mountaineer hunters estimate the weight of the beast at one thousand pounds, but two or three hundred must be deducted from that for exaggeration.
The professor can scarcely be excelled as a marksman. Soon after we reached Camp Bear Trail he scared up a herd of nine deer, and killed six of them before they could get out of his reach. The marvelous part is that all was accomplished with four shots. He made one lucky pull with his Sharps, sending a death bullet through three at once.
We had no time to get lonesome. Besides, we had a burro with us that made the hills musical with his braying, and for clownishness outdid Forepaw's trick mule. His name was Reubin; his hair, mouse color, and three to five inches long; ears longer than those possessed by the average of such animals, one of which stood straight up, while the other lopped down. We dared not leave him loose about camp, on account of his ravenous appetite for sugar, bacon, flour, tin cans, meat rinds, soap, dish cloths, etc. One day while we were both absent he slipped his halter, and when we returned to camp he was eating a loaf of hot bread out of the bake kettle. The only pests we had besides him were green flies and bear fleas. We succeeded in protecting our meat and skin specimens from the flies by burying them in the snow; and as for bear fleas, they were ten times as large as ordinary fleas, and could easily be caught and killed.
We held our fourth of July celebration on the second, when bear number two stepped his foot into the trap. I tell you it was a picnic. He had torn the log pen to pieces; had thrown some of the logs twenty feet, and was swaying to and fro and leaping into the air. As this seemed to avail him nothing, he began gnawing the trap, and soon broke several of his teeth out. Then he undertook to break the trap by dashing it against rocks and logs, but could not free himself. In his excitement he took little notice of us, but started through the woods, trying to rid himself of the trap by running. He ran two hundred and twenty-five yards, over logs and through thickets, with one broken leg, pulling the forty-two pound trap with a forty pound chunk attached to it, at such a rate that we could scarcely keep up with him. After four rifle balls were sent through his body, any one of which would have instantly killed any ordinary brute, he survived twenty-one minutes. Since last year, we are told a Mexican, his wife and two sons, were attacked and killed in that neighborhood, by bears. But a short time before our arrival two experienced hunters were attacked by a crippled cinnamon. One of the men was instantly killed, and the other mortally wounded, died soon after.
VIEWS.
W. H. BROWN.
Fraternities Are Selfish.
Miss Lizzie DeVore, the gay and popular University belle of '80-'81, was married in August to Arthur Allen, a merchant of Wichita. She carries with her the warmest wishes of her many student friends and admirers.
Fraternities are selfish. This, no one who has watched the course of University life for the past year, can deny. A member of one can see no good in the members of another, or in those who are not "fraternity men." We constantly hear the sheer nonsense that all the brain and ability of the University are possessed by the societies, notwithstanding the disproof of such assertions in the class room, literary hall and on the chapel rostrum. Acting upon this modest rating of themselves, fraternities push forward their own men to every position of honor which political influence can obtain, while the great number of outsiders are supposed to be content with voting for the men who sport the brilliant badges. Each fraternity may say that this does not apply to it, but if any one will scan its own actions frankly, it can but see the truth. Reform in this respect must come within fraternities, and when it does come, they will be stronger, more respected and more potent for good.
S. T. UDENT.
EDITOR VIEWS:At present the new students are the all absorbing topic. Strangers from every part of the state are ready to begin their work, and very many of them have left their homes for the first time, in order to obtain an education. They stand around the halls alone, and do not seem to be appreciated by any one. Should it be thus? It is the duty of every old student to see that the new ones are taken care of, and made to think they are not among strangers, but newly found friends. Let us remember our own feelings when we mounted the hill for the first time, and try to make them feel glad to be a part of us. R. S. J.
Again it falls to our lot to chronicle the marriage of one of K. S. U's daughters. On September 9th Miss Bertie Neisley was joined in the bonds of holy wedlock to Mr. Al Lewis. Miss Neisley was one of the most popular belles of University society while she attended, and afterward ever had a host of friends upon the hill. The groom is well known to all who ever came to the University, and is universally held in the highest esteem. The marriage took place in the Presbyterian church, and nothing was lacking for the beauty and harmony of the occasion. After the congratulations of friends, the young couple started on their bridal tour through the east, and will not return till November. The Courier adds its congratulations and good wishes to those of many friends.

Remember the Courier is but fifty cents a year.
New matting has been procured for the corridors.
Equality and justice to all is the rule of the Courier.
The Oread "parlia mentician" will be on hand this afternoon.
The love feast in Oread to-day will be marvelously touching.
The political club talked of has failed to materialize.
The enrollment at the academy of science is still increasing.
Surely Gault's mustache is a coming event. It certainly casts a shadow before.
Bring out that foot ball, and let the festive Fresh and frisky Soph play.
Have you seen the new Cleveland badges? Ask Hayslett or Horton for one.
There are four ladies and fourteen gentlemen in the Senior class.
Prof. of Mathematics to brilliant student: "Now please construct a pentagon."
B. S. "How many sides shall I make it?"
New students should attend the literary societies. All are good and worthy of your choice.
Those students who were not yet financially embarrassed, took in Sol Smith Russell—or rather his play.
It is rumored that little Willie Otis will soon lead one of Atchison's fairest young ladies to the bridal altar.
Prof. McDonald, of music, has made a decidedly excellent impression in his opening work. He is without doubt a master of his art, and the teaching of it.
The kazoo is destined to become a popular musical instrument. Gilbert is instructor thereon.
Lady admirer: "Yes, Dent Dunn is getting on finely with his bicycle. The trouble is with the way he gets off.
Prof. Spring gives his classes brief vacation this morning, on account of his absence.

By mistake, several of the students in the imbecile asylum in North college wandered into our halls last week. They were immediately "spiked" by a leading frat here. They are presumed to have been here in the interest of Delta Tau Delta.
We would respectfully suggest to the honorable faculty that if they wish to secure a full attendance in chapel, they can easily do so by seating gentlemen and ladies together, instead of primary school style—one sex on one side, one on the other, as heretofore.
The Normal society is for the benefit and practical aid of those who intend to teach. The work done is chiefly of a nature relating to the profession, and is very important. Lectures were delivered before it every other week last year, by members of the faculty.

A Ballad of '86.
No.2.
The Junior stood in the corridor,
And waited for his girl to come.
To carry that pretty co-ed's books
He had waited from twelve to one.
(Imagine his distress, especially as the dinner
jour was passing.)
The cloak room poured for its smiling crowd,
And forth each fair dames came.
(N. B.-The Junior is still standing there.)
To some favored boy each one has bowed,
And the story was 'for' the same.
And now appears that long looked for face.
The Junior's heart beats fast.
At last he will gain his accustomed place ;
And—but wait till you lace the list,
(He is now bracing up, straightening his tie and pulling his mustache.)
With a child like smile he approached the fair.
Extends his hands for her books and more;
When O, for a knot hole through which to sink;
She goes with a Sophomore.
And the Junior retires, swearing vengeance, and meditating on the wickedness of the world, and the softer sex in particular.
Be sure and come to Courier meeting at end of fourth hour, in Prof. James H. Canfield's room.
Prof. J. H. Canfield's new optional, "Special Studies in Economies," will doubtless be a popular one. Each member of the class is allowed to select any of ten topics, which are now questions of the day, and on that subject he is called upon to make a careful reading of all authorities and books pertaining to it, and submit his investigations and conclusions to the professor in the form of a thesis.
The Orophilians will open the year with the following program: Readings, Lettie Collins and C. J. Reed; declamations, Clara Greenameyer and E. F. Neal; electives, Birdie Starr and May Bassett; orations, F. H. Olney and R. E. Thomas; debate by Jep Davis and Benj, Cobb on the affirmative, and Geo. McLaren and W. W. Clawson on the negative. New students and old ones will be welcomed to their hall, third story north wing.
The Oread society will present the following program this afternoon: Declamations, Nettie Brown and Laura Lyons; readings, Hattie Dunn and Edith Manley; essays, C. S. Crosby and Lyda Jacke; orations, R. J. Curdy and W. Y. Morgan. Debate on the subject, "Resolved that French aggression in China is unjustifiable. Affirmative, Bert Baldwin and H. A. Gillespie; negative, C. S. Corneilson and R. E. Hayslett. An especial attraction will be the music. All are cordially invited.
Y. M. C. A. Notes.
Topic for the gospel meeting next Sunday evening a 4 o'clock: "Something priceless to be had for the asking." Isaiah 55.
A reception to the young men of the University was given at the rooms last evening, the members of the association being assisted by the ladies' auxiliary.
The topic for the young men's meeting this (Friday) evening will be "Can I help my associates to become Christians?" John 1:32-51. Numbers 10:29.
The meeting at the rooms last Sunday afternoon was of special interest to students. An address was given by Rev. Dr. Cordley, of the Congregational church, and a review of the summer's work by the general secretary.

To-day's Meeting.
To-day—Friday—at the end of the fourth hour, the Courier company meets to elect editors for the coming year, and transact its annual business. We ask every one to be on hand, who desires a University paper that offers representation to every class of students. Especially do we urge the non-fraternity men to come, and by seeking an able body of editors from their ranks, to give the lie to the assertion that "all the ability of the University is in the fraternities." We can urge upon them the claims of this paper in no stronger words than those of our first and ever loyal editor, Charley Dart: "The non-society faction was never fairly represented until the inception of the Courier, but it has been ever since, and doubtless will be until that paper shall go down before its enemies, or by the apathy of its so called friends." Reecho the sentiment, "Long live the Courier!"
A Little Advice, Unasked.
With every student the question arises, "what work shall I do outside of regular duties?" Among a multiplicity of organizations of every imaginable name and purpose, the problem is a hard one for the beginner to solve.
What or how many of these societies the student shall enter, depends upon his time, money, studies, personal inclinations, and more frequently still, the inclination of the society with regard to himself. But every student should join a literary society. If he has too many studies he should drop one and make room for the society work. The literary society is the "student's own." Here he meets, enjoys the company of his fellows and learns the important lesson of ready repartee. What prominence he gains among the students comes through the literary society. However bright in the class room, he is practically unknown until he enters the literary society. Here favoritism is unknown, and wit, spunk and ability win the day. So to all we would say, join a literary society.
A Worthy Body.
There is a disposition, especially among the so called social circles of the University, to regard the Y. M. C. A. as a "goody-goody" "purer than other people" society. No greater mistake could be made. Whether one gives his active aid to the organization or not, it at least deserves every student's respect, not his derision.
The society merits great credit for its warm reception of the new students. Delegates were present at the depot to welcome the in-comers, see them comfortably settled and make them feel at home.
...
Again, the Y. M. C. A. hall is provided with a reading room, where the daily papers may be found, and games are placed for the amusement of visitors. Altogether, the association is to be warmly commended for the work it is doing.
There are several officers of the athletic association still in the University. We call their attention to the following by-laws of the association:
SECTION 2. The annual meeting of the association shall be held at some time during the first of the third session. * * * * *
Meetings of the members of the association in each class shall be held sometime during the second week of the first session, at the call of the class president, to elect their representative on the chief executive committee."
If the officers now here desire to show themselves worthy of the trust reposed in them by their fellow students, and to show their sincere interest in the cause of athletics, they will at once take steps to hold the elections and meetings as prescribed.
Though much ridiculed, the work of the association last year was not wholly in vain. A base ball club was organized and uniformed, which over came every club which had the misfortune to meet it. A football club was organized and uniformed, which would no doubt also have come off victorioue if any competitor could have been found.
One branch of the work laid out for the association was an effort for a gymnasium. The legislature meets this winter and will not again assemble for two years. Nothing can be done without organization, and with an association we might obtain something. Let us be up and doing. Let the old officers see that new ones are chosen. Let the association see that only such men are elected as will work, and work hard. Let everybody lend a hand and pull together,
and athletics in K. S. U. may yet reach a higher point than a room full of sawdust with a glass broken in the door to admit of fresh air.
It is probable that the Gradatim will be organized for the coming winter. We are glad of it. The Gradatim is, as its name indicates, a glorious institution. The Gradatim recalls to us the classic days when the Greeks did so much to cultivate grace and beauty. The Gradatim gives us a true appreciation of that grand piece of art which overhangs Prof. Robinson's head in the Latin room. Parents sending their sons and daughters to the University, should impress upon them the importance of attending the chivalric Gradatim.
(Private for new students.—The Gradatim is the University dancing club, and includes the prettiest girls and handsomest boys in the college.)
Billiards may be a fine game, an attractive game, a scientific game, but it has done more and is doing more to take student's money, time and health, and destroy college work than all other causes put together.
Courier Meeting.
The regular meeting of stockholders will take place to-day (Friday) at the end of the fourth hour, in Prof. Canfield's room, for the purpose of electing officers and editors for the ensuing year. All students wishing to obtain stock may do so at that time.
Athletics.
Some fault-finders are growling about the athletic association, without trying to help put it on its feet. We think it would be in better taste to try and resurrect and infuse some new life to our association than this manner of throwing it into discredit.
Some of the officers of the association will require a sacrifice of time and perhaps some money, but we are assured the students will feel amply repaid for their trouble.
Good vigorous work on the part of the officers and old students will give such an impetus to this branch, that not only success this year, but for the future, will be no longer a doubtful question.
The Indian school, Haskell Institute, has an attendance of about twenty. Now the Sophs and Freshmen as they pursue their favorite studies of natural history, will find a pleasant resting place on their excursions, and the dusky daughters of the forest will be there to smile on the weary wanderer, take his scalp or sell red moccasins.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—A writer in the last Courier, having condescendingly stooped from his elevated position as a student of K. S. U. to point out the inconsistencies of the "immaculate independents," informs us that through a benignant providence, "colleges are the mirrors of the localities in which they are located." Poor K. S. U! Poor Kansas!
As a representative student of our college, he ridicules the action of such men as George W. Curtis, David A. Wells and Prof. Sumner, of Yale, because from purely patriotic motives, they rise above mere party organizations when asked to support dishonest and corrupt candidates. His policy, if followed out, would compel a party man to vote for the lowest, the meanest, the most depraved scoundrel that ever cast a sickly shadow to darken the light of God's day, rather than bolt his parties nomination and support a man he knew to be pure, honest and fearless.
If this writer is a fair representative of his college, and his college reflects the sentiment of this community, then 'twould be better for to have the "mugwumps" and "political Pecksniffs" of the high-toned Bostonians and pigeon-toed Yankees rule our national politics than the "rowdies" and "cowboys" of our western prairies. S.
Delta Tau Delta.
In this University, as well as at other schools of a good grade, the charge has been brought against the charter members of a new fraternity that they were "kickers," "sore-heads" and much more of a like nature. That the cry has been well founded in some individual cases, may be true, but to make it so sweeping and general is unfair and untrue.
Perhaps, Mr. editor, this department has been open to a rather free criticism of our fraternity system, by non-fraternity men, but there is still one point to which I desire to call the attention of both the fraternity and non-fraternity readers of the Courier.
In the past four years as many fraternities have entered our University, and they have commended the recognition of the older fraternities not by members alone, but by sterling worth.
But, says the reader, what is the point of all this? What the subject of this long introduction? Patience. It is this: DELTA TAU DELTA will probably enter K. S. U. this year, with a charter membership of eight good men, and in order to disarm criticism, at least partially, is the object of this article.
I appeal to you, fellow students, to give DELTA TAU DELTA and her members a fair chance to creditably acquit themselves. If you are a fraternity man you can lose nothing, and if not, you can have no object in persecution. B.P.
Peace.
A sentence in the last COURIER struck me as being straight to the point: "Let us have peace in Oread." Oread society has members who will yield to none. During the last year a larger part of prizes and honors fell to her lot. Her members were distinguished as the best on the rostrum. But the society suffered from internal dissensions and domestic strife. Factions were bitter, and partizanship was high. If this should be allowed to go on, the society will lose all the prestige it now has, and be regarded as a nuisance. All members who are desirous of preserving our good name and keeping up the society to its old standard, should unite in promptly putting down the first appearance of "monkeying." All members should attend and lend their aid to restore the tone to the society. All good members should throw aside former affiliations and unite in making Oread the leading literary society. OREAD.
EDITOR VIEWS:—I wish to add a few words on the fraternity question. It is alleged that secret societies are at least beneficial to their own members. It is said the "brothers" will exert themselves to keep one of their number in the right way. On the contrary, I have seen many a good boy utterly demoralized by initiation into a secret society. Students who have stood well in their classes have been completely upset by the "honor" of a flashy pin. Their heads have been turned by praise, and they are so proud of being fraternity men that they think they can get along without effort, and at last finish up without obtaining benefit or satisfaction from the college course. This does not apply to one society, but two and three. Each reader of any knowledge in such matters will see the truth of my remarks. The object of fraternities may be all right, but the results do not always, if often, prove it. I am a college student, have been for some time, and can warn new students to look well before they leap. There is a great deal of glitter and tinsel about secret organizations, which may catch the unwary, but any one who wishes to do good work must be careful on this score.

Answers to Correspondents.
In this column the great Knowall will satisfy the wants and queries of students. All those who especially desire knowledge may come here and be content. The price is low—nothing. (Reduced rates to students.) No question of a humorous character will be allowed. This will be a great feature in the great religious weekly. Names will not be published, but are required as a guarantee. Correspondents will be answered by mail on receipt of stamp.
Soph.—You say you do not like Trig. Well, if you will "eut" half the time and flunk whenever called upon for the next ten weeks, you will probably like it better, and Prof. Miller will let you take it next year.
W. J.—We think you sold out too cheap. However, you know your own price, and the Courier still lives.
NEW STUDENT.—From the description of the individual we should judge him to be a confidence man, book agent or fraternity spiker. Shun him.
HARRY.—If your girl is gone and won't come back, you had better get another.. She probably has another fellow by this time.
E. F. C.-Yes, you are probably the cheekiest man in college. When Caesar said Gaul was divided into three parts, he probably gave you the larger part of gall.
S. T. G. —If you want to be elected, shake hands with the preps, walk the halls with the girls,talk on all sides to all people and lend the editor of this column one dollar for advice.
C. D. and W. H. J.—Yes, the Courier company is still waiting to hear your report as to paying that little two dollars.
Hope. —Yes, H—y is back. How did he get in on you?
SENIOR.—If you are behind in your studies, you had better get them down fine—the finer the better. The best place to get them is in your head. If not there, your cuff will answer.
CONSOLIDATOR. From the looks of things it would seem that consolidation did not work. Well we should smile.
V. L.-Yes, we agree with you You are not appreciated. If all your puns are like these samples you had better try for a place on the police force, as you would easily scatter a crowd.
Humorist.—You are correct. A humorous paper should sometimes have something funny in it.
O. T.—Yes, you are on the right track. Stand in with the old gentleman.
CANDIDATE.—Promise both sides. If one of them discovers it and charges you with deception, call him a malicious falsifier, and drop the matter.

Men of "Cultuah."
A correspondent in our last issue tears his hair because we venture a criticism upon those eastern men of "cultuah"—Curtis, Sumner, Wells and their ilk. So far as votes are concerned, few of our students will take a part in this campaign. However, as the time is not far distant when they will wield more influence than their few votes, it becomes their duty to study the present politica situation.
A set of men have sprung into prominence in the east, who call themselves "Independents." The Independent is one who is too good to mingle with the common lot of mortals. The Independent is the man who must rule or ruin. The Independent is one who stands with dagger uplifted, to assassinate his party if she refuses to become his mistress. The Independent is the political pope who graciously condescends to let the common folk touch the hem of his robe, or kiss his great toe. The Independent is the physician who points out the ailments of his party, and proposes to cure the patient by cutting off her head. The Independent is the man who betrays his party if she refuses to place him first in command. Benedict Arnold was the Independent of 1780; Fitz John Porter was the Independent of 1862; George William Curtis is the Independent of 1884.
Another thing. Place your finger on an Independent, and ninety-nine times out of a hundred (if there are a hundred of them), you will find a rampant free-trader. Lacking the courage of their convictions, as they know they will be defeated before the bar of public opinion, they dare not make the fight on their own hobby, but seek to defeat the party by slandering its candidates.
It is the duty of everyone to study the issues of the hour, and then ally himself with the party whose principles accord most nearly with his own convictions. An honest opponent has every one' respect. The man however, who stands ready to prove a traitor when his assistance is most needed, is entitled to respect from neither friend nor enemy. Ability and genius do not palliate the offense, but render it more rank.
As we said before, the immaculate Independent groweth almost within the shadow of Bunker Hill. The association of "the western rowdies and cow-boys" is not conducive to his development. Let us give thanks!
College Prizes.
Notwithstanding prizes have been condemned by the best educators as harmful in their results, the number offered in the University is on the increase. If some one will only mention something for which a prize has not been offered, we feel assured the breach will be filled.
How many contests have there been in the University in which the awards have met with general favor? On the other hand, how many have there been where the judges' decision has not met with the unqualified disapproval from the audience? As a rule, the preparation for the contests have detracted from regular study, not only taking the time given to practice, but keeping the contestant in a feverish anxiety. The winners have been ill-repaid for their loss from regular work, and the unsuccessful ones have been soured by disappointment.
Rewards are well enough for little children who need somthing to stimulate their ambition. For students who betake themselves to college to acquire a higher education, the system of prize giving is silly, unnecessary and injudicious.
Answer if You Can.
Some fraternity men having complained about articles appearing under the department "Views," as not fairly stating the case in regard to secret societies, we can only answer that our columns are open to all students, and any one choosing to respond to such articles has the privilege to do so.
Prof. Canfield deserves congratulations for the field he has opened for special investigation in the study of Economics. Those of the higher class men who fail to improve the opportunities offered are very foolish, to say the least.
Second Prep. : "Good! I found out why the French are perseeuting the Chinese."
Second Prep. : "Yes. The Chinese eat missionaries, and will not publish any newspapers a white man can read. The French are thoroughly resolved to protect their citizens.
First Prep. : "How was the debate in Oread last Friday?"
First Prep.: "Can you explain it to me?"
Among Our Exchanges. We have received the Badger, the weekly published at the University of Wisconsin, and can only say that it approaches about as near being a perfect "student's paper" as any we know of. We are glad to note its financial prospect, which will assure its maintenance. The Badger is a lively, fearless paper, devoted to the interests of the college, and a credit to the institution.
Among Our Exchanges.
The Occident comes from California, and reaches here in advance of many eastern journals. It reports a prosperous beginning of a new year at Berkeley. The Occident was started as an anti-fraternity paper, at a time when the secret societies of the University of California were carrying everything with a high hand, and by their utter disregard of all rights of others, had brought discredit to the name fraternity. Now affairs are much better, and the Occident was a great instrument in bringing about the change.
Dartmouth college raised $1,150 to equip a base ball nine.
Oxford University, England, now admits women to its examinations.
To all our old exchanges we say welcome, and hope many new ones will find it to their interest to come to our sanctum. We will try to treat all fairly and justly, so come on.

Athletics.
Last Saturday a large number of students and several town people showed their interest in base ball by their presence on the grounds. Many of last year's K. S. U. players appeared, and acquitted themselves as creditably as ever, thus showing that we have material for a strong club.
To-morrow at 2:30 P. M. will be organized two clubs from the University, and we urge all students who are interested, to be present. The plan is under consideration of organizing an inter-collegiate base ball association, including K. S. U., Washburn, Baker, Manhattan and Emporia, and for arranging a schedule of two games apiece between their respective clubs. That a series of games between these clubs would increase the interest in legitimate athletics throughout the state, is beyond question. In order to be successful, our own organization must be perfected, and if the initiatory steps are taken to-morrow, we may look forward to an interesting series of games, of interest to the students in general, and a credit to college athletics.
Athletics Notes.
Chas. Metcalfe appeared in his old position in the pitcher's box, last Saturday, and was very effective.
A. F. Yohe, the phenominal left handed pitcher from Leavenworth, was puzzling the boys with his curves.
Jep Davis appeared at the game in livery rig. Since Jep is a Junior he is too toy to play ball.
Sharrard, of Atchison, was struck on the probosis by the ball, slightly disfiguring that important feature. He managed to climb the hill Monday, however.
If one of our business men will erect a "back stop" on our grounds, he may paint a his "ad" all over it, and we promise him that it will withstand the cyclone of hallowe'en, e'en be it marked all over "a la Steinberg's, the King Clothier, per Rohe."
Washburn has consented to enter an inter-collegiate association. Let not K. S. U. be backward in this matter.
If Emporia joins the inter-collegiate association, it is hoped that she will not import McClure or McCormick to help win. Neither that K. S.U.will "essay"to ring in Matthew Arnold on the diamond.
Do not forget to come out to-morrow afternoon at 2:30, at the ball grounds on Massachusetts street.
Chancellor Lippincott reports that everything connected with the University is in a very encouraging and prosperous condition. This is particularly true of the musical department.
VIEWS
EDITOR VIEWS:—My attention has several times of late been called to the fact that the students of the University have no physical bearing; that they were round shouldered, and had no idea how to carry themselves. It seems to me that if some steps were taken to remedy this evil (and it is a great one) the University of Kansas would be nearly perfect. The only way to get at this is by military training. It was tried here once before, and was found to be impractical. But for what reason? Because the faculty did not interest themselves, and left the company in charge of a few inexperienced students, who did not know the first principle about military tactics. The system works well in most of the eastern colleges, and in the Agricultural college of this state, and there is no reason why it should not be practiced here; and all it wants is a little help from the faculty, and the government will appoint an officer of the regular army to command the company. Why let other institutions having less standing than K. S. U. surpass us in this?
R.
BOARDER.
EDITOR VIEWS:—The present exorbitant rates which the boarding house keepers are now charging, brings forward the advisability of a college dormitory, where students could obtain rooms and board at reasonable prices. Such a scheme could be easily carried out if some one would take charge of it. As matters stand now, students who have to go through the college course as cheaply as possible, will prefer a college where board is not so high. There is no reason at all why board should be fifty and seventy-five per cent higher now, when we are having a bountiful year, than when provisions were high two years ago. But this is a fact. And it shows a condition of affairs which ought to be remedied.
that nearly every student who has attained prominence has been a member of a fraternity; and they will testify to the good they have received from the brotherhood. The high rank of fraternity men brands any such statements as those made by your correspondent as to the debasing influences of fraternities, as the idle vaporings of a wandering mind.
GREEK.
Ed. VIEWS: I read the article in your last issue on fraternities and their abuses, and thought I saw the fine Italian hand of a student who would give anything to join one. The writer alleges that joining a fraternity is injurious, and supports such a declaration by asserting that many fraternity men have degenerated on entering the ranks of the Greeks. In my observations I have seen just the contrary. The fraternity has held many a young man from evil habits and practices. The whole object of a fraternity is to elevate and enhance the worth of the members, and when the principles are faithfully obeyed, it is of great advantage. You will find
EDITOR VIEWS:—As a piece of "alleged news," we notice the report that Sigma Chi has seceded here, and will join the prospective Delta Tau Delta. Whether this report be true or not, we are not prepared to say, but we protest against having the vagaries of a non-fraternity crank being accepted as even "alleged new." This crank, who is a nonfraternity man from necessity, and not from choice, is a perpetual source of discord. H.F.
EDITOR VIEWS:The Review constitution claims to be fair to non-fraternity students, and at the first election three non-fraternity men were placed on the staff. At the meeting yesterday the places of two of these were filled by secret society men, thus leaving the "barbs" with but one representative (?) on the Review. If this be justice, let us have no more.

EDITOR VIEWS: The absence of all class distinction and feeling seems to be a notable feature in the Kansas University. As the result, I have seen no hazing nor the least evidence of anything of the kind since I came here to attend school. No cane rushes, no despoiled banquets have taken place, everything is dull and quiet, and it seems as if such a state of affairs will remain through the year.
B.F.BIGELOW DRUGS.
I have learned from a student, who last year attended Troy Polytechnic, that in all eastern colleges, such a year would be considered dull in the extreme. In fact, he says in eastern institutions a practical joke or a "tear" is thought to be an essential element of college life. Now I have often wondered why the students of the University were so orderly and quiet, why they never get on a "tear," and really why they never behave themselves as college young men should. Is it the presence of the fair sex that makes them modest and undemonstrative, or is it the natural spirit of a Kansan that cools his ardor? Will the editor of the Views rise and explain? SIR JOHN.
