The Sophomores are the orators who will fill the chapel with their fiery eloquence.
The lion roareth, the whangdooodle mourneth, but the Courier goeth on forever.

The deep grief with which the Seniors receive the request of the doctor to excuse him to attend to some business, is very pathetic.
We would suggest that the Oreads add a prophet to their list of officers. His duty would be to forecast the next political movement—if he could.

PERSONAL.
The Business College opened its evening school last Wednesday, with an attendance of fifty, which is increasing every night. We notice a great many of our students among them. This certainly is a golden opportunity for all desiring instruction in penmanship, or wishing to study short-hand, the system of which could be learned in four to six months, a couple hours work evenings. Not provided for in the University, all desiring instruction in book-keeping, penmanship, plain or ornamental, practical or commercial arithmetic, spelling, U. S. history, physical or intermediate geography, letter-writing, telegraphy or short-hand writing, could not ask for a more excellent opportunity.

Courier Prizes.
Following in its accustomed path, the Courier company will offer the following prizes for superior excellence in chapel rhetoricals.
To the Freshman obtaining the highest grade, "The Speeches of Wendell Phillips."
To the Freshman obtaining the next highest grade, "Works of Byron and Burns."
To the Sophomore obtaining the highest grade, "Speeches of Daniel Webster."
To the Sophomore obtaining the next highest grade, works of Goethe and Shiller.
Elsewhere will be found the constitution upon which the Courier is founded, and upon which it appeals to the students. The underlying principle is that of fairness to all parties, to fraternity men and to nonfraternity men. To secure this the stock is divided equally between society and non-society. The editorial staff is composed of equal numbers from each. The monopolizing of all the fraternity positions by one is prevented. Voting by proxy is not allowed. A stockholder who doesn't take the interest to attend meetings can not have any claim upon the company. No one man shall hold more than two shares of stock. None but active students can hold stock. And to secure these fundamental principles from change, the constitution can not be amended if one-fifth of the stockholders object.
If justice has not been meted out to all alike, it was not intentional. "For the students, of the students, by the students," has ever been the Courier principle. With this our motto, we ask all who wish to assist in the publication of a local paper, non-partizan and non-factional, devoted exclusively to the students and their affairs, to join us, to aid us. Read our constitution and see our
Read our constitution and see our principles.
A great need of the University is more provision for oratorical training. Not enough attention is paid to this important branch in our college. Students will graduate with almost no experience in public speaking, and scarcely able to express their thoughts before an audience. A man who can
stand up and say exactly what he means, and make his hearers understand him, has an inestimable advantage over the man whose thoughts fly from him at the critical moment when he is to impart his knowledge to others. What gain is there to a public man if he has studied his subject and is thoroughly versed in it, if his lips fail to obey the summons of his brain; if he can neither convince nor inform his hearers? On the other hand, the man who is able to tell what he knows, and do that in the best way, even if he lacks in perfect knowledge of his question himself, can call forth the attention, respect and conviction of the audience. These facts are plain and palpable. So far as possible, the students with their societies and oratorical association, have attempted to remedy the fault. But this is not enough. The University of Kansas should have a well established department of elocution, where young men could prepare themselves thoroughly for an effective life.
Valedictory.
Amid many discouragements and rebuffs, the WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER was established. Hard work was necessary to put this "new departure" under good headway. Now it is done. The students have responded nobly to the call made aposthem. The business men of Lawrence have seconded our efforts. Now the COURIER is firmly established, and its success assured. Our subscription list bears the names of almost every student. Our advertising columns are occupied by the best business men of Lawrence. For the many kind favors we have received, we return our thanks. To the few who factionally opposed us, we bear no malice, and hope they now see the error of their ways. To the new staff of editors, we offer our congratulations, and hope for their unbounded success. If we have succeeded in establishing a paper which shall be devoted to the best interests of all the students, without regard to class, faction or society, then we feel that we have accomplished our task.
Shall the athletic association be allowed to die? Let the classes decide this in their annual meetings.
A great many students have been head to express desires to take penmanship at the Business College evenings,but "do not like to go alone." Form clubs then, two three or five go together. Boys can take their sisters, cousins or best girls, for that matter. Do not be foiled by little things so easily overcome.
We have received the Illini, from the University of Illinois, which for local, personal and general college news is unsurpassed. The literary department is hardly up to the standard.
Exchanges.
Among our handsomest exchanges we place the Lehigh Burr. The only fault that can be found with it is a lack of personals.
Williams, Yale and Harvard are for free trade. Columbia and Princeton are on the fence. The Universities of Pennsylvania and California are for Blaine and Logan and protection.
The Hillsdale Herald, a weekly from Hillsdale college, is at hand. It is poorly printed on still poorer paper, and there is a great lack of local news.
Why does the man who sits on the political fence have no point to his platform? Because he could not sit on it if there was a point.
President Robinson, of Brown, deprecates the prominence of athletics in college life. —Ex.
K. S. U. would probably suit him on that point.
The Crescent, a bright and witty monthly from the Hillhouse high school, New Haven, has found its way to our table. Its contents would indicate that its editors are just a trifle love sick.
The Index, from Ann Arbor, is at hand. It is, as it claims to be, a journal of education, literature, criticism and news. The editorial conduct of the paper is in the hands of Professors Winchell, Adams and Payne, of the University of Michigan, and Prof. Douglas, of the University of Wisconsin. Its literary articles and editorials are especially valuable.

VIEWS.
1. Benga.
EDITOR VIEWS : It was with pleasure that I read the articles in the COURTER relative to athletics, and believe you reflect the view of the student on that subject. It is a crying shame that K. S. W. has no facilities for physical training. A man who goes through college without developing and exercising his physical nature is but half a man. He may be learned in all the wisdom of Greece and Rome, he may thoroughly understand the abstractions of science, he may penetrate the depths of metaphysics, but if his body cannot sustain his mind, of what good is all this? Our legislators ought to see this fact. I believe if the matter was fairly presented to them they would try a remedy. But the students must first show their desire to help. It is no use to bowl about the lack of a gymnasium, or berate the powers that be for the want of proper stimulants toward athletics, when the students show their lack of spirit and energy by letting the first attempt in this direction, in the athletic association, go down for want of support. Let us realize this before we complain further. No Xqs.
EDITOR VIEWS:—It is a well known fact that but comparatively few of our students attend chapel exercises. Why is this? One, and I believe the principal reason is, that the speeches of the students are generally "weary, stalc, flat and unprofitable." But the student is not to blame. He is forbidden to select a political subject, and is compelled to take dull, dry ones which interest no one, not even himself. Subjects of interest which would arouse enthusiasm, are forbidden because they will "lead to a discussion."
Let us have "reform" in this department. Let us have a full and free discussion of all the issues now before the people, both state and national, and let the political parties be criticised, and then I predict an enthusiasm before unheard of, and instead of a few stragglers we will have a well-filled chapel every morning.

There was an unusually large attendance from the faculty at chapel Wednesday morning, in anticipation of the meeting of the regents.

There is no such pleasure or exhilarating exercise known to man or woman as roller skating. Cosley's rink is open all the time. Attend the grand carnivals.
This is not a humorous paper. We are strictly orthodox and are publishing the great religious college journal. None of the poems were composed, none of the jokes written, nor the puns attempted, by any of the editors.
The result of a canvass among students as to preferences on the presidential a gubernatorial and tariff questions results as follows: For President, Blaine received 146 votes; Cleveland, 39; St. John, 1; Butler, 1. For Governor, John A. Martin received 151; Glick 35. 112 voted for Protection, 65 for Free Trade.
Several University students are taking advantage of the evening sessions of the Business College, which began Wednesday evening. It certainly is an excellent opportunity to students for improvement of their penmanship, ornamental or business hand, bookkeeping, history, geography, or shorthand writing. Few students but who can by a little extra exertion, get their lessons in the afternoon, and by a couple of hours evenings, as above achieve valuable results.
Everybody go to the grand carnival at the Cosley roller skating rink to-night and to-morrow.
The Maiden's Query.
Do you really, truly love me
More than any girl you know?
Well, then, hug me just a little,
If you must, before you go.
Fold your arms around me tighter.
Have you never hungged before?
Draw me nearer, press me closer.
Can't you hug me any more?

Although slightly out of our line, we prophesy a harmonious election in Oread to-day. Mr. Gilmore has no opposition and will no doubt make a strong member of the Big Four who will try to down the Orophilians in December. There is little known as to the rest of the ticket, but in the present era of good feeling, no doubt the best men will be chosen, even if the best men are found to be women.
The regents, at their last meet should have recommended all students to buy of Bromelsick.
The Oread election last Friday was the most harmonious held for a long time. The following officers were elected by a practically unanimous vote: President, W. Y. Morgan; vice president, R. E. Hayslett; secretary, Jennie Sutliff; critie, H. E. Riggs. Yearly officers chosen were: Financial secretary, Cyrus Crane; treasurer, R. S. Horton; executive committee, Fannie Pratt, A. C. Markley, Agnes Wright.
Secret societies have initiated the following members: Beta Theta Pi, Messrs. Smith and Davis, two; I. C., Miss Jo. Gillmore; Phi Kappa Psi, John Prescott, A. W. Posthlewaite, Palmer Ketner, three; Phi Gamma Delta, Frank Crowell, L. A. Sharvard, H. E. Valentine, J. C. Shinn, four; Kappa Alpha Theta, Miss Minnie Raught: Phi Delta Theta, W. E. Higgins; Kappa Kappa Gamma, Miss Minnie Wakefield; Sigma Chi, F. W. Barnes, Fred Bowersock, two (?); Delta Tau Delta, (combining all reports), about twenty-five. However, we don't vouch for the last.
Oread bulletin board offers the following program; Reading, W. S. Bales; declamation, A. W. Posthlewaite; essay, Fred Bowersock; oration, R. S. Horton; declamation, Fannie Pratt; reading, Morris Cox; essay, Ella Ropes; oration, B. C. Preston. Debate, "Resolved, That the Prohibition Amendment should be resubmitted;" affirmative, C. S. Crane, W. Y. Morgan; negative, Harry Smith, R. L. MeAlpine. In addition there will be an election, which surely ought to bring out a large attendance. Good music will be furnished.
A chemistry student defined a molecule as "something very small." "How small?" queried the prof. "About the size of the independent revolt against Blaine," came the answer. His grade was 10.
When the literary societies elect their orators they should look out that they choose those who get their furnishing goods of Bromelsick. They always suit.

The faculty have not yet made up their political opinions, but, no doubt, in the depths of their hearts they desire to use their influence for Bromelick, and his nobby collars, cuffs, ties, hats, etc.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 10, 1884.
To anxious inquirers as to our old police force, we would say that Courtney is chief of a restaurant down town. Henry Ward Beecher has departed to the shining shore, where the students cease from troubling and the weary are at rest. Sterling is still on deck.
The Orophilians elected the following officers: Speaker, T. F. Doran; clerk, Pearl Young; treasurer, W. T. Reed; critic, J. D. McLaren; chapain, F. H. Olney; chorister, W. E. Higgins; organist, Lillian Bell; executive committee, Nettie Hubbard, S. M. Cook, B. P. Blair.
Married, October 8th, Miss Alice Collier and Mr. Don J. Rankin, both of '81. Miss Collier is well known to all our old students as one of the most charming and talented young ladies who ever attended our college. Don Rankin is an ambitious, energetic young man and his success is assured. The many friends of the young couple agree that never did bride and groom possess so fully the qualities which draw friends and command respect and admiration, as Mr. and Mrs. Don J. Rankin.
No. 5.
Miss Carrie Hastings, a bell of last year and universally admired, was married October 8th, to C. J. Fletcher, of St. Joseph. Although not a K. S. U. boy we take great pleasure in congratulating Mr. Fletcher and hoping that the path of the twain, as they advance along life's journey, may be ever so happy.

MOTTO.—Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second class matter.
Salutatory.
With this issue the new staff takes charge of the Courier. We hope our efforts to present a readable, newsy weekly will not only be successful, but appreciated.
College journalism at best is usually disappointing, and the encouragement of endorsement is all that is expected.
With a staff of eight editors, two devoted to Local, three to Personal, one to Views and one to Exchanges, we hope to glean all that is fresh and interesting.
The department of Views is open, as it ever has been, to THE STUDENTS, for favorable or unfavorable criticism of topics of general interest. This department can be made readable, and be the reflex of student's views, if you will cooperate with the editor of this department.
For our cotemporary we have none but the kindliest feelings, believing, however, that our sphere is essentially different. That of the Review, to "place college literature upon a higher plane." of the Courier, "to gather the local news and be the reflex of students views." That this present "era of good feeling" may continue, is hoped, and it will not be broken by the editor of this department.
In the St. Joe Herald and Kansas City Journal the statement is made that "an independent spirit is cropping out in state politics." These statements are accompanied by many expressions of disgust and ridicule from the Kansas City Times.
An "independent spirit" in Missouri would certainly be a curiosity. Such a thing was never seen within its boundaries. The people there don't know what the first symptoms of the sensation resembles. An "independent spirit" in Missouri would be fully as great a rarity as one of her "prominent" Democrats.
Independence, prominence and Missouri are not interchangeable terms by a good deal. Quinine, whisky and ignorance do much better in the climate of Missouri.
There is seriously, about as much probability in the election of Nicholas Ford over the ex-rebel Marmaduke, as that the ghost of Missouri's favorite son, the late Mr. J. James, will stump the state for the Democratic candidate. The late Mr. J. James' brother, the Hon. Frank, is doing good service in the campaign.
We would cite these members of the F. F. M.'s as fair representatives of Missouri independence and culture.
The student who has been "traveling in the interest" of some publishing company is straggling in. He usualy ywears a flashy, checkered suit and a bland smile, but he is by no means affluent. That weird, wild look in his deep blue eyes is caused by his hard struggle with pinching poverty. When these poor student book agents look piteously into the face of the farmer's wife and recite how they are "working their way through college," how can she resist the temptation to promise to take the book.
This may be charged as editorial ridieule, but it does seem that University students could find better employment in vacation than peddling books. The constant begging, abject servility and wretchedness that agents are obliged to assume in order to get their customers to purchase books—at four prices—and containing the most unreliable information ever published, is, to say the least, scarcely elevating. What induces people to buy these books? Is it for their worth? Rather is it the far-away look in the agent's eyes, the wretchedness of his attire, the nervous restlessness of his actions, superinduced by the uncertainty as to where the next meal is to come from, that almost compells you as a generous being to buy a book of the poor man, and pay from $5.00 to $10.00 for $1.50 worth of poor typography and worse grammar.
We in this issue have the pleasure of presenting to the public the entire management of THE WEEKLY COURIER, consisting of a president, secretary, four editors and one business manager, non-fraternity men, with the motto "Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken." We salute especially the non-fraternity element of the University, asking at least your good will,
if not as we believe we deserve, your most earnest support.
Exchanges.
Again the Occident comes from the golden slope, and is well filled with interesting reading. It seems to be the student's paper at Berkeley.
Our sister weekly, The Badger, from Wisconsin, comes to us in a slightly new form. The editorial and miscellany columns are excellent, but the local displays a lack of originality.
The Harvard Adrocate is the best type of an eastern college journal. These eastern papers are filled with glowing descriptions of base ball, foot ball matches and boat races. The western journals contain literary society proceedings and grave arguments on lecture associations and the marking system, Id interest.
The Colby Echo is the best edited paper we have met with. Its departments are well and ably managed, and show hard work.
There are sixteen fraternities represented in the University of Virginia—the largest number at any one college in the country.
A Texas steer was loose in the street at the West End, in Boston, the other day, and it is unnecessary to say more of the way things were going on. A sick man in the house heard the disturbance, and, looking up wearily at his nurse, said, "I do wish that Harvard student would go home."—Wooster Collegian.
Professor—"What is fraud?" Student—"Taking willful advantage of a person's ignorance." Professor —"Give an example." Student—Why-er-er-one of your examinations "—Ex.
Professor of Political Science→ "Mr. D., suppose you discovered that a quantity of dynamite had been put beneath your dining-room, and that you were to be blown up at your usual dinner hour, what action would you take to frustrate the conspirators!" Mr. E.——"I should dine-a-mite earlier."—Ex.
The Vanderbilt Observer is the last exchange received before going to press. The editor-in-chief is evidently a good, substantial man. In his salutatory he states plainly and emphatically that the paper is in the hands of no clique or faction, and that nothing will cause its managers to deviate one hair's bredth from their line of convictions concerning right and wrong. The editorials are well and sensibly written. The exchange man is evidently alive to his duty. He has given a fair and impartial review of the papers noticed. We have faith in his judgment and ability. On the whole, we are very well pleased with the Observer, and tender it a hearty welcome.—Illini.

VIEWS.
Ed. VIEWS:-"University Lectures" have been a subject of much comment. This comes from the fact that our course of lectures is very incomplete. Lectures are to be given every two weeks; but it is a fact, that in the past we have not, on an average, had one a month, and when we did have them, were very uncertain spectres. They are poorly attended, because students have no assurance that they will gain more by going than by staying at home and studying.
Many of our leading students noticed this fact and have discussed it thoroughly. Last Friday it was taken up by the Orophilian society and the advisability of attempting a scheme to furnish the student with a better course of lectures was discussed. It took well and the society merits praise for her enterprise.
She is always a leader in reform. But this is a scheme that interests not only Orophilians but also Oreads, and all students. In the first place almost all our home talent has been utilized. It costs money to get good foreign talent. Without some organized body the enterprise cannot be carried out. The scheme the Orophilians proposed was to get first class lecturers and charge a nominal admission fee. With the support of the students, and what may be obtained by advertising, it was thought that not only enough might be made to defray attendant expenses, but also to yield the society a good margin.
It is quite an undertaking and many think it best to enlist both Orophilian and Oread societies in the good cause. It is sure to be a success if entered into with the right spirit, and will be a means for the society, or societies, as it may be, to gain funds to beautify their halls, besides having the honor of giving the students a better course of lectures than they have heretofore had. At all events let us have a course of lectures that will be in keeping with the standard of our school. Z.
EDITOR VIEWS:A meeting of the students was held in Prof. Miller's room at the end of the fourth hour Wednesday, for the purpose of taking action on the establishment of an oratorical association to take the place of the old association, which proposes to give up to the new.
This becomes necessary from the fact that many of the old members are not in attendance this year, and that the association needs to be reestablished, on a firm basis, with a revised constitution. In pursuance of this end, a committee of three was appointed to draft a constitution, and
the meeting adjourned to meet Monday, 13th, to consider said constitution. It is desired that all collegiate students be present, as all students love to see K. S. U. have the banner of glory. This she did last year, and with the cooperation of her students she will do it again this year.
Many think this association should include all collegiate students as more interest would be taken in it; for each student would know that he had a vote and that the association had its power in and from the students. Last year there were not enough orations handed in to allow a choice, so all spoke in the local contest. This should not be, let us have a STUDENTS association and we will have strength, we will have victory.
.
EDITOR VIEWS:—Last Sabbath small but animated circle were discussing the effect of classes as applied to caste. All rejoiced that our country was practically free from this blighting system.
The writer's thoughts have since reverted to the subject, and have confined themselves to the consideration of the question as it appears before us in our own University.
Are there no castes here? Do not the fraternities by their clannish and exclusive behavior favor this pernicious system?
However great may be the advantage from a social or any other standpoint the fraternities may present their individual members, is it proper compensation for this loss of identity?
Let every fraternity member look well to this important question, and see if his fraternity is not, instead of being the representative of what is best in our school, becoming the agent of aristocracy and caste which is synonomous with oppression and ignorance.
If fraternity members will resolutely crush this "hydra," they will become in fact, what they now claim to be, the reflex of what is brightest, best and most brilliant in our University. B.C.P.
the purpose for which chapel meets,
to worship God?
NOTES.
The orations may be "dry" and "stale" and a' that, but should we go to chapel for the sole purpose of listening to the spoutings of a couple of students, or for the better purpose,
EDITOR VIEWS:-In your last issue "A. S." took occasion to criticise the action of the professor who has charge of the chapel rhetoricals because orations on political subjects were forbidden.
It seems to us that the professor is right. This is not a political school, and we are of the opinion that anything pertaining to politics is properly barred.

Harrington isn't betting on the congressional election in the second district, this time.
The Betas did well when they ensnared Caywood. He ranks at the head of his class, and is one of the best students of the University.
Bruce and Chestnut sat in the "translating committee" last Monday evening, during the lecture of Rev. J. G. White. We fear that the books to which they had access will have a "demoralizing effect upon the boys."
There is certainly good material among the students for a base ball club. This fact was shown last Saturday, by a game between two picked nines. The score stood five to five in favor of the picked nine. Time, two hours; umpire, Sweezy.
The man who resides on Tennessee street, between Hancock and Lee, and who owns the dog that holds nightly concert, much to the annoyance of the people living near, will greatly oblige the neighbors, and perhaps save the life of the aforesaid canine, if he will send him back east to his brother. The howling sounds too much like a Sophomore serenade to be tolerated any longer.
Again we have the pleasure of announcing the union of two who cailm K S. U. as their alma mater. On the 8th of October Mr. Harry Rankin was united in the holy bonds of wedloek to Miss Ora Good. We all know Harry Rankin as a bright, energetic young man, sure to succeed; and Miss Good by her charming deportment while a member of '85, endeared herself to a large circle of friends, who will follow her in her new path with congratulations and blessings.
The Greenback candidate for congress in this district has a unique though expensive manner of drawing a crowd. He walked into the court house, and with the greatest indifference began ringing the fire bell. His audience appeared on the scene at once, and the fire department turned out in full force to do him honors. Chief Prentice took possession of the orator, and convinced him that his "call for a meeting" would cost him just $42.00. Unless this G----b politician is more fortunate than most of his kind, he will probably be obliged to leave most of his greenbacks before he can fill his other appointments.
The Fresh, sat in the gallery,

Last week we gave the result of a canvass among the students as to presidential preference,and now we again submit the result of a like canvass. W.W. Fluke has a majority of 385 as the man who has the choicest largest and best stock of musical instruments, music, etc., and the girls vote unanimously that way because Geo. M-t-c-lf- is there, don't you see?
Prof. McDonald has secured an assistant in music. Instruction will now be given on the violin and other musical instruments.
A copy of the first edition of Fulton & Trueblood's "Choice Readings," published by Ginn, Heath & Co., of Boston, is before us. The compilers are the founders of the Kansas City School of Oratory. It is a magnificently bound book of 700 pages, a grand compilation of the gems of English literature. Its success before the public is assured.
The Oread contest program election was mild and tame. The Oreads of last year felt lonesome, and could scarcely be comforted. After a slight disagreement as to the order, nominations for orator being called for, Mr. S. T. Gilmore was named, and on motion of Mr. Riggs was elected by acclamation. The "tall sycamore of the Wakarusa" feelingly thanked the society for the unexpected honor, and the irrepressible small boy got off his usual funny joke. The extent of the harmonious wave could be judged when Mr. Bennett nominated R. S. Horton for debater. Every one was so astonished that no objection was made, and Mr. Horton also went in by acclamation. He also was duly moved by the unlooked for dignity, and thanked the society. Filled with the grand and noble idea of harmony, the Oreads proceeded to elect Miss Jennie Sutliff for declaimer, and Miss Mamie Manley for essayist. The monotony of unanimity was broken by the election of president of the evening, Mr. Kerr being finally chosen by a large majority. Exhausted and amazed at their unusual performance, the members allowed "miscellaneous business" to go by without a ripple, and the great election was over.

The law department opened Tuesday with an attendance of twelve, six in each class. More are expected.
The Orophilians are having their hall refinished, their costly paintings restretched, and want to sell their old organ.
The profs, who hadn't made up their minds how to vote, before the Ohio election, are getting off the fence.
Quite a number of students stayed up Tuesday night to hear the returns. Linley, Horton and Harrington retired early.
Jep Davis went to Ottawa last evening, to play third base for the home nine, in the Kansas City-Ottawa game, which is to come off to-day.
"What is that thing, Johnny?"
The Oreads had a very good program last Friday. A debate on the subject, "Resolved, That the best interests of Kansas demand the reelection of Gov. Glick," aroused a great deal of discussion. Messrs. Horton and Harrington sustained Glick and resubmission, while Gilmore and Morgan upheld Martin and republicanism.

Chemistry Prep. : "Professor, what is the difference between gold leaf and Dutch leaf?"
Some people think the time spent on the study of ornithology is so many hours wasted. We feel safe in saying, however, that if Prof. Sterling ever was of that sort he is so no longer. In the S. P. class the other day he was forced to acknowledge his ignorance when Fritz asked what kind of a bird the gazelle was.
As we go to press we receive a statement from Dr. Millard, principal of the Academy of Science, showing the standing of all those in attendance, for the month ending Oct. 15th. It is quite a lengthy document, and came too late for publication in this issue, but we will print a few extracts from it next week. Most of the grades stand high.

Fulton of the Kansas City School of Oratory, as announced by Prof. Trueblood last spring in continuation of the course in elocation of last year, will be here next Thursday, October 23, for the organization of classes.

MOTTO.—Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kansas as second class matter.
Various plans are proposed in reference to a lecture association. The faculty, realizing the importance of a lecture system, and also that our present one was a failure, appointed a committee to confer with our students in regard to this question. The result was that last Friday a committee was appointed from the Oread and Orophilian societies to arrange a scheme and report to the faculty,
One of the many plans proposed is that the two societies jointly form a company, and have our University lecture course under their auspices. Another is that the Oratorical Association shall have control; another that a separate organization altogether take this matter in hand, and push it to a successful conclusion.
The latter plan may be a good one, but we object to so many associations, and believe that as a plan to enlist the support of the students, it is not the best plan of the three.
The second plan, that the lecture association shall be only a branch of the Oratorical Association, we believe to be radically wrong.
It seems to us that the reason should be obvious. To be a success financially, the association must enlist the support of the students, and that this is the best plan we doubt, as very few (comparatively) take an interest in the Gratorical Association.
The first plan proposed seems to "THE COURIER" the most feasible: That the two societies shall have control of this matter. In this way the lectures will be advertised in as valuable a way as by printer's ink. At every meeting all will feel a personal interest, and we see no room for jealousy between the two societies, because both will be mutually interested in the success of the association.
With the lectures in the opera house, having the endofsement of the
faculty, and under the auspices of the two societies, success is practically assured, not only from a liberal encouragement from the town people (which will doubtless be readily acceded), but from the fact that so many will feel a personal interest in the success of the students University Lecture Association.
---
The Oratorical Association has been organized on a firm basis, with membership open to all collegiate on the payment of one dollar to the treasurer, for which a certificate of stock is issued. This plan is much to be preferred to the scheme of class representation that was proposed by the members of the old association.
Every student can now feel a personal interest in the workings and success of our local branch will not be presumptuous.
A meeting will be held at the end of the fourth hour, Monday, to elect officers.
Let every student who feels an interest attend.
The regents have asked the legislature for an appropriation of fifty thousand dollars for the Natural History building. Let us all work with our representatives and influence them all we can for this necessary act.
What the Courier Would Like so See.
*The literary societies form a good lecture association, backed well by the faculty and board of regents.
*The Oratorical Association as formed, popular with the students.
*Less betting on the election.
*Orophilian have a peaceful election to-day, and the failure of the party who raised the despisable hue and cry of "down with the Ethiopian."
*The non-fraternity element in Oread rise up in their just indignation and throttle the arbitrary fraternity combination which has been showing itself of late.
*Oreads have a parliamentary and profitable debate on the tariff question.
*Orophilian down the attempted Beta and I. C. combination to-day.
At the adjourned meeting of the new Oratorical Association on Wednesday afternoon, a committee consisting of J. D. McLaren, D. J. Dunn and W. H. Johnson, was appointed to sell stock. Notice was given of the regular election of officers next Monday, at end of fourth hour. Those wishing to vote will hand their names and dollars to any member of the above committee.
Exchanges.
The Monmouth Collegian, a semimonthly, comes to us from Monmouth, Illinois. Its local is unsurpassed, and its other departments are not far behind. From it we get a report of the oratorical contest of Illinois. The first place was won by Knox College, represented by Victor Bender, and the second place was won by Miss Elizabeth Faulkner, of the Chicago University.
The Indiana Student, a monthly from Indiana University, is at hand. It has what most of our college papers neglect, a good alumni column. Its editorial column is also good, but its literary department is not what it should be.
The "barb" elements of the colleges of Indiana are said to be so well organized that they are really "frats" in everything but name.
Prof. Jas. H. Canfield contributes a very interesting article to the Educationist, on the "End in View, or Practical Education."
There are 104 college graduates in the present House of Representatives.
At Amheist and Kenyon, students who obtain an average grade of 75 per cent. are excused from examination on that subject at the end of the term.
Harvard has 148 electives this year.
Out of nearly 1,500 students at Oberlin last year, only one took the scientific course.
The College Transcript, a semimonthly published by the Senior class of the Ohio Wesleyan University, is at hand. The article on "Literary Work" is right to the point, and if space permitted we would print it here for the benefit of Oread and Orophilian.
Washburn College is considering the feasibility of opening three new departments—Law, Medicine and Music.
Stockholders may now receive their certificates for stock by applying to the business manager. Delay was occasioned by their non-arrival from New York. We congratulate ourselves on their beautiful design. On the best parchment bond paper, in three colors, they are "beauties." The artistic engraving is representative of the solidity of our company as agriculture is to the nation. No insinuations of "watering stock" is to be tolerated.

VIEWS.
Co.
EDITOR VIEWS:—When thinking over the past contests in college politics, and of the innumerable rivalries, jealousies, disappointments and bad feeling resulting therefrom, I often think "why do we do this?" Is there any sufficient return for the friendships broken, the enemies made and the time spent? Surely this is bad. Then why do we continue in the same old line, and each succeeding generation of students tell this same old story? All the honors obtainable in the college course are not equal to the bitterness of heart and hostility gained of those who ought to be friends. Valuable time is taken from useful employment, and all too soon the struggle against one's fellow men begins. A struggle which in future years can only draw from us feelings of regret and amazement that we engaged in the work. If there must be rivalry, let it be gentlemanly, honorable and honest. Scheming and wire pulling and chicanery are soon enough learned, without thus introducing them so soon into our lives. Let us then be straightforward in our own actions, and charitable in our judgments, and beware of letting a little society election or newspaper controversy draw us to actions and thoughts which we will remember in future years with disgust. Y.
Ed. VIEWS:—It is with pleasure that we note the general prosperity of our University and the interest they take in all things relating to college work. Our societies enter upon their new year with increased zeal and numbers. Our papers are supported liberally, and well may we boast of a weekly and a monthly paper, both of which do honor to our institution.
Not a question of any import arises that is not taken up by a sufficient number of students to make it a success.
The societies are now judiciously considering a lecture course We have no reason to doubt that they will act wisely and furnish the students with a course of lectures which will be in keeping with their good taste.
The Oratorical Association has been reestablished on a firm basis with a new constitution; everything flourishes. But we would like to say that in some things our students allow their zeal to destroy their good judgment and carry them to extremes, which are not to their credit; but the contrary. An example of this occurred last Monday in a meeting of the Oratorical Association. Yells and disorder were indulged in, which
are characteristic of Indians rather than of thoughtful students. This is a severe criticism, but extreme cases require extreme remedies.
Students should always remember that business can always be more judiciously disposed of at the calm level of a collected mind, than at a feverish heat of excitement, and that such action breeds ill feeling and disgrace.

A German Society consisting of t young ladies, has lately been organized. It is to meet in Oread hall Friday afternoon, between one and two o'clock.
Some crank is trying to stir up Oread to another fight, by making mystersous insinuations. Let every Oread endeavor to keep up her present peaceful, prosperous condition.
Why is it that so many young ladies study the art of painting rather than something that is more laborious or useful? Because they prefer a work that is easel-y done.
Monday, at end of fourth hour, there will be the annual meeting of the Oratorical Association. Officers will be elected and by-laws adopted. Everyone interested in oratory should come down with that "iron dollar," and take a share of stock.
Any student, without regard to class, course, department, race, color or previous condition of servitude, who desires a share in the Courier company, and an interest in the great religious weekly, can be made happy and content by a short talk with one of our business managers.
The next meeting of the Iatrikos society will be held this evening in Dr. Esterley's office. The following program will be rendered, and will undoubtedly be very interesting: Discussion of the arm, E. A. Gildemeister; Diseases of the Bones, W. W. Russ; Structure and Composition of Bone, E. A. Wheeler; Articulations, H. E. Riggs. The society is in a splendid condition, and is open to students who desire to hear the discussions of the society, although they may not be members.

"Begorra, I've always been a Dimmyerat, but I'll vote for Logan this toime," exclaimed an enthusiastic Irishman on the glorious Fourth. When asked his reason, he replied: "Shure an' the papers seh he murders the English, and be the powers, oim down on the English."
Come and hear the big debate on Protection and Free Trade, in Oread to-day.
The skies in Orophilian have partially cleared since Wednesday. Mr. Johnson has withdrawn from the race for orator.
To-day B. K Bruce will be elected orator; H. F. Graham editor; Carl Smith declaimer, and Orophilian will settle down.
No doubt there will be many failures among the boys to-day, their yesterday afternoon study hours being broken in upon by a charming book agentress.
NORMAL.—Essay, Eva Breese; declarations, Mary Sabin, Emma Breese; elective exercises, Sadie Hunt, Nannie Wade; oration, Louise Rose; class exercise, L. II. Rose; debate, question: Resolved, That war is detrimental to nations. Affirmative, M. F. Cummings, Flora Eddy; negative, M. E. Pierson, Florence Reasoner.
OROPHILIAN.—Readings, E. M. Ryder, Clara Greenameyer; declamations, H. A. McLean, Alice Cummings; essays, Carrie Fisher, Will Dick; elective exercises, C. D. Field, M. M. Breman; orations, T. G.

LECTURE ASSOCIATION. At their meeting last Friday, the Orophilian and Oread societies appointed committees consisting of Sullivan, Bruce and Miss Hubbard; Preston, Riggs and Dunn, to consider the forming by the two societies of a lecture association; purpose of such association being the securing of a course of lectures of high grade, for the year. Such to relieve the faculty of the great trouble experienced in supporting of the course heretofore sustained. These committees met Monday, and agreed that if certain concessions could be gained from the faculty to report favorably thereon. Pursuant to this the chairman of each committee was instructed to meet with the committee on same from the faculty. Committees met Thursday morning, but faculty committee refusing to extend the courtesies desired, the matter will probably be reported adversely upon to societies to-day.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 24, 1884.
The annual faculty reception will be next Friday evening, one week from this evening.
There were a large number of students at the Republican rally, and manifested great enthusiasm over Col. Martin.
There is but one "Independent Republican" in the University of Kansas. If Blaine is elected he will hold an indignation meeting.
Having received written requests from a great many "interested" students, we suppress Dr. Millard's statement, of which we spoke in our last issue.
Miss Thompson and Messrs. Bales and Franklin form the orchestra about which we have heard so much since its exceptionally fine performance in Oread last Friday.

We will say to "Muleahai" that his lengthy, pleasingly written rythmic production on "Frat Initiation" occasioned our president a great deal of amusement, and he may insist upon its appearance next week; too late this, however.
Mrs. Turpin, the lady who cooks for the "Hungry club on Ohio street," spread some damp matches on the garret floor to dry. They dried, and if they had not been discovered when they were, the hole would have been burnt much larger.
There was a little boy,

A canvass among the faculty as to presidential preference, showed a remarkable unanimity for Blaine and Logan. All but three were straight Republicans, and those will probably get down on the Republican side of the fence. Almost all are for Martin for governor, but a few are not yet decided as to which side will win.
Instead of speaking to vacant chairs, as heretofore, the Seniors are "posted" for Friday mornings, when each student is expected to be in his seat. Although it may be somewhat trying on "us," the Seniors, at least, ought to thank either Prof. Brownell or Providence for this novel arrangement.
Are we to suppose from the action of the recent joint meeting of literary societies and the faculty, that the seventh page of our next catalogue is to be blank? Then are we going to do away with the library also, and finally put up the building at auction? Is this a University or is it a country school?
The Oratorical Association met Tuesday and formed a permanent organization, with the following officers: President, E. F. Caldwell; vice president, J.D. McLaren; secretary, H.A.McLean; treasurer, W.Y.Morgan; executive committee, W.H.Johnson,T.F.Doran,S.M Cook. At the meeting to-day the date of the local contest will be decided upon.
No.7.
As we prophesied in our last number, the tariff debate in Oread drew a large house. Two men on the negative failed to respond, and W. Y. Morgan, of the affirmative, suddenly changed his opinions and aided Mr. Bennett on the negative. Crane did nobly, pouring forth many facts in the most glowing eloquence. Gilmore painted the free trade and "protection" pictures in a most touching manner. Bennett showed very clearly that all the affirmative said was not what it was represented to be. Morgan, after making a neat speech of about ten minutes, in which he quoted statistics from his own mind, arose and denied all he had stated. It is evident from the facts produced that there are two sides to this question.
A large concourse of people have been filling the millinery parlors of the Misses Mugler for the last 24 hours. The event is their grand opening for the year. They are open all day to-day, and every young lady of the University should call.

MOTTO. —Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second class matter.
A correspondent propounds the following question for the Editors to answer: "What is the spoils system?"
We would answer, well—the spoils system is the—that is—the spoils system is a system which a man gets into who is spoiling for an office, and decaying in spots all over him like a peach blow potato along in the fore part of June—a man who has been down celler so long among the non-office holding people that there is a green mould all over him.
Holding office, dear correspondent, spoils a man for any other business, and for this reason it is howled against by those out of office and denounced as the spoils system.
Now, dear correspondent, ask us something real hard, we'll try to meet you half way.

To one who has attended other schools, and there seen the rowdyism and misbehavior of the students, our own University seemed peculiarly free from such ungentlemanliness.
The good reputation which K. S. U. now has is due not only to her excellent faculty but to the loyalty of the students to the best interests of the University.
This is all to preface a criticism of those who foolishly and perhaps thoughtlessly played a "practical joke" on one of our new students which savors strongly of the hazing spirit in our eastern colleges.
But the professional excuser may say "Oh! it's all a joke; we only gave him a sham initiation to our secret society;" and this may be true, and it may have been "only a joke," and intended as such, but it can be made the groundwork for that most despisable of all college rowdyism, systematic hazing.
If the good name of our University is to be preserved, let us call a halt in this line at once, so that it may be truly said of K. S. U. that it is an institution where, without fear, favor, or affection, any person can find instruction in any study.

The literary societies, very properly no doubt, have refused to enter into a Lecture Association. But the matter should not be laid entirely aside without further effort. The faculty have given up the old lecture course, much to the relief of themselves and students. But in this great University there is certainly push and energy enough to form an association capable of bringing lecturers to Lawrence worthy of good audiences. We believe that if the right man will take the matter in hand a success is assured. A few strong men, if endorsed by the body of students, are amply able to take the Lecture Association and carry it through triumphantly. Last year the Oratorical Association was a great success because the men engaged in it had the matter at heart. Let the students who are willing to take the responsibility think this over and see if they cannot also establish a Lecture Association worthy of the name.

Scientific research is all well enough, but we insist that it is about time that some of the comet liars were tapped and a little of the astronomical science let out of them.
When a man becomes afflicted with scientific dropsy he should be tapped.
About a month ago we were informed with a flourish of telescopes and a clashing of astronomical lingo that a comet would about this time attain unusual brilliancy; come within some $10,000\frac{1}{2}$ miles of the earth; be visible to the stark naked eye at noon-day; swing a few times around the sun near its perihelion, and finally shoot off into the realms of unbounded space, not to make another appearance for 9,000,000 years, six months, fourteen days, six hours and twenty-four seconds. The comet trapper who is reputed to be a regular Benjamin (Franklin) had it all figured down fine. Well, where is it? Where's that comet? The man who prophesied all this is reputed to be one of the smartest comet locaters in the business. Let the comet show up as per schedule time.
About two years ago there was a comet, a red hot one. Nobody knew anything about it, where it came from or where it was bound for, nor whether it was 6,800,000 miles or a foot away from the sun. It took these Benjamin Franklinls by surprise.
If this comet of the aforesaid Benjamin Franklin is indisposed or derailed or stuck on a sand-bar or drunk, we want our contingent fee paid back, as we have been deceived.
It's our private opinion that these comet prospectors know as little about astronomy as Cleveland does of the tariff.
Exchanges.
The College Transcript comes to us from the Ohio Wesleyan University, as bright, sparkling and newsy as ever.
The Hanover Monthly published by the Senior class of Hanover college is on our table. We don't like the plan of having a paper published by a class, but the Monthly is certainly an excellent paper. Its editorial on college elections applies with some force to K. S. U. It says "We do not claim that the elections are valuari in se, but it is the combinations, the wire manipulations, the canvassing of votes and the methods, which work the evil." "Let the Greek fraternities which have been productive of these practices, make themselves the means of their destruction. Let them combine not into two factions but into one, and admit the barbs to the combination and plan, our future conduct in such matters, and whatever the plans are, let them be opposed to strife and the creation of bad blood."
We have received a Georgetown College Journal which is a full fledged "mugwump," "I am holier than thou," kind of a paper. We clip the following from its exchange columns: "It is to be regretted that any paper claiming to represent a University should endeavor to belittle distinguished ability and high scholarship by casting slurs upon such a man as Prof. Sumner, who, because he has made himself prominent by advocating free trade, is nicknamed a man of 'cultuah' and classed with Benedict Arnold. The UNIVERSITY COURIER from Kansas has done this."
The Kappa Kappa Gamma convention at Canton, N. Y., August 27, 28, and 29, voted to establish no more chapters in schools with higher grades than seminaries. As this is the largest sorosis in the world, it is to be commended for this conservative policy.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:-Students need recreation. This means a change of employment. The question comes to every student, "What recreation shall I choose?" The billiard hall has some advantages. The muscles are employed; social companions are found there; there is vivacity in the game; everyone who has money is welcomed by the proprietor, who makes the supplying of recreation his business. But there are some disadvantages.
The billiard halls of Lawrence are pure compared to some to be found in the state. But even in them the science of billiards is degraded by the art of gambling. The creatures around the pool tables are the very scum of the street, with whom a Kansas University student would blush to have his name mentioned. The society of such gamblers has degraded every student who has frequented these places. The student is fascinated by the game, and squanders time and money. His studies are neglected. Very soon, being invited by the aforesaid scum, he goes across the street to drink and do worse. The boy is soon a moral wreck. The faculty writes his parents to take the boy home. Every year witnesses many of these "visits to parents at the request of the faculty." It is well for us that such boys rarely return. Yet a few students remain with us to slip through their studies; to poison our moral atmosphere; to lure new students to their ways. Thus some of our brightest intellects are dulled; some of our most generous souls burned to bitterest ashes.
Very often it is our wealthier boys who thus squander their time—the very boys who could do so much for us if they would use their money and strength in forming and maintaining boat clubs, base ball and foot ball teams, superior societies, enterprising newspapers, lecture associations—all that makes our college grand and useful
With the above, and our University library, our city library, our Y. M. C.A., and our studies, is there not enough to employ our time? Surely these are better than billiards.
ONE OF THE BOYS.
It is said that one of our fraternities will expel a member if he frequents saloons and billiard halls. The rest should enact a similar law. The young ladies' fraternities already exercise a strong influence against the billiard player. On a train last summer, a student was talking with a drummer who said: "Some of your students at Lawrence are fast men; I met them in the billiard hall." What student would not, like him, have blushed for our alma mater? That our college spirit will crush this evil and thus enoble our University, is the earnest wish of

It was apparent in the Orophilian election last Friday that all the "heavy work" had been done during the week. The orator, Mr Bruce, the debater, Mr. Graham, and he declaimer, Miss Starr, were elected by acclamation. There was some opposition in the election of essayist, but Miss Williams was chosen on the third ballot. This is a strong program, and the Orophilians are as sure of beating the Oreads as the Oreads are of coming out ahead of the Orophilians.
Again the University is called upon to mourn the loss of one of her most talented sons. On the 16th of October, Justin P. Jack, of the class of '84, died in Colorado, of that lingering disease, consumption. While a student of K. S. U., Mr. Jack had drawn to himself many warm friends, who deeply feel his loss. He was a good student, and a noble and respected man. His remains were brought to Lawrence and here interred, his brothers in Phi Delta Theta, of which he was a charter member, acting as pall bearers.

MOTTO. —Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second class matter.
Owing to the fastly increasing demands being made upon the columns of the Courier, the business managers have found it necessary to enlarge our publication as per this issue. This we do with pleasure. We think we to-day present our readers with one of the best college weekly publications in the United States. We feel that the Courier is now a periodical of which the K. S. U. can well be proud. We have endeavored to make it so, and believe we have succeeded. Regarding the enlargement, we can only say that we are in this but the instrument of our patrons. We can promise nothing. If there is a demand for it, we in our desire to issue the best publication means will justify, will enlarge again. If present support does not continue, we frankly say we will cut down. The person sent however, the Courier will appear twenty columns in size.
. .
A circular to the alumni, dated October 20, and signed by the secretary of the association, W. C. Spangler, is principally notable for a malicious misstatement of fact as to the University papers. While we appreciate the value of our cotemporary from a literary standpoint, the enthusiastic support given the Courier by alumni and students is evidenced by our success. We are sorry to see the alumni association and its secretary used as a means to wilfully deceive. It will certainly result in no good. We cannot believe that the secretary prepared the paper, but rather think it the malicious venom of envious persons, who only use his official position as a screen to hide their own glaring hasness.
The musical department is taking a more prominent position in our University.
Under the leadership of Prof. McDonald, it promises to become as large as it is efficient. Rooms have been secured in the city for the convenience of the students, and the old course thoroughly revised, and requirements added.
To graduate in this department from K. S. U. will mean good earnest work for at least three years in the full course. Prof. McDonald is a man of talent and energy, and we are glad to note his present success, and prophesy that it will be continued in future. With an able man at the head of the department, and a corps of three assistants, there is no reason
why the musical department can not be as good as any of the special conservatovies.
Two years ago the Y. M. C. A. was established. During the comparatively, short time of its existence work has been done which is honorable and creditable to the extreme. The association now has a well furnished suite of four rooms, chapel, reading room, parlor and committee room. The general secretary, Mr. Burr, is an able and conscientious worker, deserving great credit for his labor and success. He has now been with the association one year. His services have been secured for another. In another column will be found his report, and from it the exact work of the association can be ascertained.
To a young man entering college it is of the highest importance that his first associations should be the best. To such the Y. M. C. A. offers advantages unexcelled. Its members are workers, and strive to carry out the plan of the association to carry the Christian work among young men. We recommend new students to attend the meetings, inquire into the objects and work, and if satisfied of the advantages, unite with the association.
- - - -
Through the "Views" column of three weeks ago attention was directed to the matter of having a military company at the University, to be in charge of a U. S. officer. Favorable criticism was passed, but the matter has temporarily, at least, been dropped. If the students really want to organize this, the only way is to agitate the matter with the faculty and regents.' At many of our state institutions such a system is in vogue. At Cornell there is a cadet corps and an artillery company. Major Burbank, who has charge of the military department, gives lectures on military science and the history of war. Target practice squads are organized, and many become proficient in the use of the rifle, who would otherwise remain unacustomed to fire arms. At Cornell all the rifles and ammunition for target practice or drill are furnished by the government, and all the expense of the cadets is for white gloves and ties for dress parade.
Do we want such an organization here? If so, let us work the matter up, and at once.
The need of a separate building for the natural history department is becoming apparent to not only students and towns people, but to those whom we designate as outsiders. The Topeka Capital calls attention to our needs in this line in a forcible editorial, and if the agitation is kept up we may expect to see a useful and ornamental building ready for occupancy by next September. But not only in the line of science do we need buildings, but for a library and a gymnasium. If the friends of K, S, U, really appreciate our needs in this direction, sufficient influence would be brought to bear with our legislators to accomplish those schemes for the upbuilding of our University.
The need of a building for a gymnasium cannot be questioned, and a building for library and reading room purpose is apparent. This building should be fire proof, though not necessarily very expensive. If the alumni and friends of the University will present and explain our needs to their prospective senators or representatives, we may expect as a result a liberal, munificent appropriation for the State Unievrsity.
We believe there would be a measure of wisdom in discontinuing the faculty reception. The conditions which favored its establishment have nearly all disappeared. When the plan originated the average classes were larger than now, and there was much less possibility of personal contact between instructor and instructed. Then very few students held over from year to year, and hence nearly all were strangers at the opening of the first session. There were but few societies and fraternities, and therefore very little opportunity for forming acquaintances. About all the students themselves were far less accustomed to general society and needed both a stimulus and guide.
Now a large number of old students are on the ground each year; the various social organizations give ample opportunity for entering at once into pleasant relations in many directions; students are much better posted in social requirements, and the larger number in attendance make the reception, necessarily, "a jam" in which almost no one can take even comfort, let alone enjoyment.
If the purpose for which these receptions were established has been accomplished, why should they not be dropped? It would certainly be no reflection on the faculty if this old-time custom were discontinued.
The plan of a Lecture Association must not be dropped. If ten or fifteen of those who are interested in the matter will unite, pledge their mutual support to each other, they will be endorsed by the body of students, and be enabled to establish such an association on a firm basis.
What the Courier Would Like to Know.
*If this issue is not a daisy.
*If backed by 300 of the 400 students in the University, it is not going to boom.
*If the two committees from the literary societies and the faculty committee on the Lecture Association should not be caged together until they agree upon some form of an organization.
*If the Gradatim is not to be re-organized.
*If its motto is not gaining ground as rapidly as could be asked.
*If the corporation is to be so deeply carmined to-night as is rumored.
$ ^{*} $ Ditto board of regents.
- Which now claims to be the most "powerful" fraternity in the K. S. U.
  *If the K. S. U. has not about as popular a faculty as any college in the country.
EXCHANGE.
A typographical blunder last week in ade us say just contrary to our intention, that Kappa Kappa Gamma had voted "to establish no more chapters in schools with higher grades than seminaries." On the contrary, the fraternity will establish no more chapters in schools having no higher grades than seminaries. We apologize for the mistake.
We appreciate the kind words which have uniformly come to us from our sister exchanges, and hope they will not have occasion to withdraw them.
Sol Miller has been writing poetry, and one of his completes reads as follows:
Lo! the poor Democrat
Whose beldid brain
Finds victory in Ohio,
Vermont and Maine.
How does Pat get over the state of single blessedness? He proposes to Bridge-it.
The Star Crescent, a monthly from King's College, Bristol, is on our table. Its locals are not well written, and are printed very poorly. Its literary department is well filled with good articles, while its editorial column is only fair. But considering the fact that the college has only forty-five students, the paper is very good.
A few weeks ago papers were circulated to ascertain the political views of the faculty and students in all the leading colleges in America. Answer has been received from fifty colleges, and we print a summary of it below. The number answering the questions in the affirmative are as follows:

The Simpsonian, from Simpson College, is a neat and well printed monthly. Its departments are all well edited, the local and personal being especially good. The following sentences are taken from one of its editorials, and will apply in more cases than one: "That there is great advantage in good elecutionary drill, is an undeniable fact. But we believe that there has grown out of this instruction a certain school of oratory which has become the ridicule of the hearers, and the ruin of its disciples. Some students have either misapplied their instruction, or else the result of the instruction itself has been detrimental rather than advantageous. For certainly we have seen representatives of pretended merit in this line, who when speaking, act more like clock-work than men. We know no better appellation for this than machine oratory."
ESTABLISHED 1856.
The Hillsdale Herald, a weekly from Hillsdale College, is printed not only every week in the college year, but also every week during summer vacation. This is certainly an upward step in college journalism.

EDITOR VIEWS:—May I use your columns for a few suggestions upon the duties of students in their relations to the city of Lawrence and the University. It has been customary for some of the less thoughtful students to engage in enterprises on Hallowe'en, which are in no wise beneficial to the interests of the University. When a person becomes old enough and far enough advanced in studies to enter the State University, he certainly ought to be capable of appreciating the advantages offered him by the state. In his actions he certainly owes it to the state to obey its laws; and yet, thoughtlessly, he not only violates the laws, but exasperates the citizens by wholesale and often premeditated destruction of property. There is no significance to be attached to the fact that some persons are not averse to students or a particular time, enjoying themselves at the expense of the city. All such enjoyment is more than offset by the unfavorable attitude which all thinking persons take toward such pranks. Not only is the reputation of the University hurt throughout the state, but the best citizens are aroused, and demand, and rightly, that actions of this nature cease. It is not the highest natures which rule when students band together for the purpose of celebrating Hallowe'en, but the lowest. When all is over some will always wonder how they were ever led to go so much farther than they had intended. The leaders are not the ones to stop in time, but are sure to lend the spirit of a mob to any party made up for such purpose. If a University education does not make a better and less lawless citizen, it is a question whether the state does not err in spending its resources in establishing and maintaining such an institution. Let every student consider the cost before he agrees to sacrifice his manhood, the reputation of the University and the esteem of the citizens o Lawrence for a few hour's enjoyment (?).
A STUDENT.
EDITOR VIEWS:—In your last number appears structures on billiards and billiard players, in which the writer made many rash and truthless assertions about that science and its devotees. I do not wish to argue for billiard playing when carried to an extreme point, for anything can be carried too far. I believe in temperance in all things. But a little social game of billiards is not only a relaxation, but a positive pleasure, harmless and innocent, except in the minds of the extremely goody-goody boys, who are frightened at the very names of cards, theater and billiards. This is a liberal age, and such cranks had better drop their "holier than thou" posing, and descend (?] to the common every-day existence.
The boys whom the writer characterizes as the "scum of the street" are every whit as good as can be found in the University, and no one is "ashamed to associate with them." "It is said that one of our fraternities will expel a member if he frequents billiard halls. The rest should enact such a law," The first sentence is another of the writer's brilliant imaginations. He has made a
miss-cue. He english on the wrong side. Every fraternity has at least one man who likes to punch the rolling ivories. If such a law should be enacted I know of two frats which would need to look after their existence. If "One of the Boys" (?) will come down from his lofty (in his own mind) seat, and see how matters really stand, and wants to enter a little game of discount, he can be accommodated by
ANOTHER OF THE BOYS.

Charley Plum, son, son of Maj. Plum, of the intellectual burg of Kidder, Mo., who lost his sight from the eye-ball bursting and humors running out, came to the Eye and Ear Infirmary, led by his mother, to consult the surgeon in chief, Dr. Kimberlin. A great part of his eye was destroyed, and the remaining part soft. Dr. Kimberlin stated that by taking the case under treatment and hardening the eye-ball, he could then cut into it and cut a piece of the iris, and thus make an artificial pupil through which it would be possible for him to see. Dr. Kimberlin operated just seven days ago, and Charley Plum can now see to read, a privilege no one enjoys more than he. Four different persons, each of whom had this same operation, were at the infirmary yesterday—Kinnas City Journal.

From early morn till late at night their elegant parlers presented one surging mass of visitors and customers anxious to witness the crowning efforts of the scenterprising ladies. Scores of our college students followed our advice, and the universal verdict was that the display excelled in beauty, taste, quantity and quality anything of the sort ever attempted in the city.

Some man with a brilliant imagination started the report that there would be a faculty reception to-night. Whereupon the man who takes in all the free shows immediately got "solid" for the occasion. It proved to be another campaign lie, and many fond hopes and expected mashes were nipped in the bud.

And said : 'Who's this young fellow, Miss ?'
And without more aid
The young flowe flow,
And his eyes looked exactly like this :

The Orends had a small attendance, but a very animated meeting last Friday. The program, with one or two exceptions, was well carried out. The "resubmission" question was handled by Riggs and Horton on the affirmative, and Bennett and Dunn on the negative. Some very strong arguments were made on both sides, but the judges being of whisky proclivities, heard only the arguments of the affirmative, and rendered decision in their favor. The society had its usual drill in parliamentary law.

A very large number of visiting members also are expected. The address of welcome will be delivered by R. F. Jackson, Esq., of Nashville, Tenn., and the response by C. D. Goodwin, Esq., of Indianaapolis, Ind. The public literary exercises will be held in the hall of the House of Representatives, in the Capitol building, the use of which has been tendered to the Convention by a special act of the state legislature. The program on the occasion well be as follows: Oration by Hon. J. F. Philips, of Kansas City, Mo.; poem Prof. W. A. Jones, of Chicago, Ill.; history by A. A. Stearns, Esq., of Cleveland, Ohio; prophecy by George Bryan, Esq., of Richmond, Va.

Class Poem of'87.
READ BEFORE THE CLASS.
Should you ask me why I stand here,
Stand before this class assembled,
With these written sheets of paper.
I should answer, I should tell you,
I was by the class elected,
To record in verse, the actions
Of the famed men and maitens
Of the class of '87.
In the moon of Falling Leaves
Came we hither from our homes
To pursue our course of studies,
And to warn the warden Fresman
Of the dangers which we've passed!
To pursue with vim our studies,
And surpass all former Sophs more
In our grades and win such homes
For us to continue our journeys
To resound the well cursed praises
Of th' invisible '8.
Can there any class before us
Boast that one man of their number
Won two prizes and three honors,
In the work of but one session?
This much boast we; and still more
Hope we for our mighty Crane,
Vailant bird of '87.
Ever upward, onward souring,
When next honors are awarded
By the mighty honor dolls.
"Twins but last spring that '80,
Laboring with a great illusion,
Judging us by their own standard,
lazy, worthless and weak minded,
Sought to terminate two studies,
Then a few of our brave men.
Strove to hinder such an action.
But with strength b beyond their strength,
As 'tis off with maddened creatures,
'80, alas, r pulsed them.
Still one trophy bore they with them ;
"Twas the tombsone, written os it—"
"Sacred to Miss Ann Lytics
And to Miss Zoo Ology."
Reinforced, again our men
Songht the campus; but *twas over,
Snoudering earners told the story.
They alive had been crieded;
And the murderers now were holding
a piece of fine cloth.
To the grave their way when wending,
Suddenly some one exclaimed:
“Where in all thy reams, oh Pluto,
Has that tom’sbone to its way?”
Let them search, they cannot find it;
It had gone to Pluto, truly,
Burned on that same funeral pyre,
Soon, howe’er, fair Am Alytics—
Rising from the fame like Phoenix,
With her friend, Zoog Oloz,
Will engross the hungry minds.
But just fate soon overtakes those
Sophomores of “S”
An architect by many,
Proved without a doubt next day.
Now young ‘88 attains us
To take them in our protection,
As we took the last year Senior.
Our supremacy they’ve admitted:
For their motto was composed,
Also were their colors chosen
By one of us, of ‘87.
So I ask you vote upon it,
Let us shield them in our arms,
Safe from ‘85 and ‘6.
In our search for knowledge
We are not at all afraid
By our actions to be judged.
Let us so advance in future.
