Who is next?
IT was a little hard on the Betas. But even the best of pulls are sometimes strained.
You may wager that we will not leave a member of the opposition in charge of the paper when we are out of town.
WHAT feelings of happiness and thanksgiving emanate from our heart at the promptings of the noble hearted editor of the Journal? If we are only sure that we are to be the recipient of sympathy and condolence we will be King among the satisfied. We do hope that we may meet our well-wisher as tried and true sons of K U. Yes we hope that—and more. We hope that when the evening sun is setting o'er the la t college day of our friend, we may be at hand to bid him "God Speed:" and say, with the great assemblage that has drawn near to do him homage and to lay their tributes at his feet," Thank God!"
The most intimate enemies of the Courier have caused it to be circulated that we are not able to pull through the year. We know that our constant appearance will remove this impression from a great many minds, still we wish to inform those who make it a business to throw mud, for various reasons—that we are capable and enthusiastic enough to run a paper We wish to guarantee that this paper will be issued every week during the present school year! Of course those who are not represented on any of our college papers have reasons for not speaking well of us, but nevertheless they should stick to the truth.
It is previously evident that the interest in field and track athletics at the Kansas at the Kansas University is far below par. Why such should be the case cannot be surmised unless it is from the fact that the University gymnasium is so inconveniently situated and so inadequately equipped. However the best should be made of it, and every appliance for development should be used. In nearly every college of the size of the Kansas University contestants are at this time of the year hard at work both indoors and out-doors training themselves for the coming spring field day. Not much activity has shown itself as yet among the athletes of K. U., and it is feared that the interest this year will be less than ever. The Kansas University ought to be able to produce a few athletes who could establish records above those of the second and third rate colleges of the state. As it is, the latter are more enthusiastic and therefore are our rivals to an unpleasant degree. Should the dormant spirit of "thleticism" awaken among our athletes, and the training for the spring sports be entered into with vim and enthuisasm, not only would the interest grow in the rest of the school but the contests would be such that the records would bear comparison with, or even surpass those of the other large universities of the West.

THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
It may be for the reason that we are afraid to stand upon our merits, in striving for staff positions on the Journal, that we do not become members of that company? In all probability this is so! With a glance at that brilliant sheet, edited in such a capable manner, we realize our inefficiency in this line. We can imagine with what awful solemnity the different editors were selected by the stockholders of the Journal company. Each one was the only man within the walls of the University fitted, in every point for his respective position. We can see, by straining our vision, that the politicians are scattered and not working. It came out just as cream does out of a can of milk. Here were men who had stood upon their merits! Here were men who had been in the University for perhaps-three months! They had been weighed and not found lacking Here, indeed, was corruption thrown to the winds, and everybody rising to their feet said with one accord "These are they!" Verily the balmy days of peace have come, and we, who know when we are well off, play in our own yard.
The Law School has finally awakened to a sense of its own importance and has founda semi monthly periodical to be called the Kansas University Lawyer. The initiating steps were taken last Monday night at a mass meeting of both classes of the law school. Speeches were made by a number of the boys, and it seemed to be the unanimous opinion that a Law Journal could be successfully published without encroaching upon the territory taken by the other University papers. This semi-monthly is to be run for and by the law students. All bona fide law students are allowed to vote at all meetings and there is no college politics represented in it. No stock is issued and the members of the law school have equal rights in all elections and meetings regarding the magazines' policy and success.
The idea on the part of the law boys is to make this a purely legal one that shall merit the support of the bar of the state, in doing this they expect to keep aloof from the petty quarrels that so often ruin the common college newspapers. The management will strive to make this such a magazine of law that their efforts will merit the unqualified support of all friends of the law school.
The staff is quite a large one and is made up about equally of Juniors and Seniors. The following were elected for the remainder of the year: Galen Nichols editor, J. A. Games and W.H. Winter Associate Editors, C.R.Troxei Local,F.F.Lamb Exchange, W.H.H.Piatt Business Manager,R.R. Mitchell Circulator.
The proceedings of the disciplinary committee savor greatly of the star chamber. A plan which is in effect in many of the leading colleges should be instituted here. A committee should be framed of say three professors and three students chosen by the student body from the Junior and Senior classes, with the Chancellor as chairman. This committee should have power to settle all grievances of the students and recommend to the faculty all expulsions or suspensions. By adopting such a plan the faculty would be relieved from the suspicion of unfairness and such affairs as the late unpleasantness would be avoided. As all controversies between faculty and students and all cases of repremand from the faculty to the students, such, for instance as the late suspension of thirteen Juniors, are accompanied generally by a great deal of personal feeling on the part of the students. Under the present system the faculty council or disciplinary committee composed of some five members attend to all the affairs between students and faculty, recommend expulsions, suspensions and investigate all matters which come under the surveillance of the University authorities. Severe criticism and complaint has been recently brought forth, and in fact has always been prevalent in the student body against this method.
The faculty has submitted to the Students Journal a proposition to organize a new University paper which shall take the place of the established papers. The plan is to let the shares be sold at $1, each and officers elected, regardless of factions. Such is certainly a good move. But added to this is a proposition which the students cannot agree to with consistency. It is that the University Council shall practically have charge of the paper. The proposition has met with universal disfavor among the students and it promises to become a dead letter. Most of the students think that the faculty should not interfere in their affairs.

The Hotel Viscount.
You might go a long way and not find an aggregation of young men who are as happy endowed with accomplishments as the "dirty eight" who shove their shapely limbs under the Mahogany at Ex-Senator H B. Kelly's residence, corner of Berkley and Tennessee. The place has been appropriately named. "The Hotel Viscount." To tell of all of the accomplishments of these gentlemen, would require volumes, so a brief mention only, can here be made.
To begin with, there is Charlie Williams. Charlie is a law student. That doesn't signify much, but it is true nevertheless that he is a close student and he furnishes legal opinions to the table at reduced rates. Charlie has also a very warm heart—especially for the ladies. His partner in law, Joe Welch has the latter characteristic, and he has been duffed, 'the lover.' Joe is the meanest josher in the whole crowd. His favorite expression is, "They can't get the best of me, etc."
Al Horton received the nickname of "skinny" when he entered the University and it sticks to him closer than "feathers" on a duck. His particular accomplishment is the rendition of that beautiful ballad, "When Summer Comes Again."
A few days ago he sent his plate back for some—well "Skinny" asked for chicken, but the others said it was a turkey.
William Lyon, or as some call him, Clay. is an unassuming fellow, whose great delight is in singing, every evening, that beautiful Serenade. "Good Night. Good Night. Beloved"
He is also made use of to pass the jelly from Welch to Morgan, and vica versa, about thirteen times each meal.
Although Will Ogg is rather under the usual size, he is nevertheless a very affable fellow. Some have thought that he would go into the clothing business, and some even thought that he might be a jeweler, but he stoutly maintains that he will not engage in either occupation. He and Horton settle all disputes in chemical or pharmaceutical questions.
George Penfield, with the pleading brown eyes, long tailed coat and witty replies, is the Beau Brummel of the establishment His forte is in collecting billiard table dues from his Phi Gam brothers. It is said that
he talks about that billiard table in his sleep
Lawrence Chamberlain occupies a position at the table directly opposite Horton and compels him, by a dexterous under-kick, to laugh at his funny puns. His associates say that he is a shark, but that fact has not been clearly proven as yet. The only instance that would tend to establish such a reputation occurred when he tried to get a rebate in his board by returning misused tooth-picks.
At last but not least is the blue eyed Jacque Morgan. He needs no introduction to the anxious public. He has learned to sing "Irene," and the "Holy City." His next effort, he says, will be to learn "O' Mollie, O." Jacque conducts the exercises in the "Music room" every evening. The museum which Morgan and Welch have placed in their room is worth a visit to Lawrence to see.
Questions of great moment are settled at the Board, as are also deep schemes laid for the subjection of the offensive, the securing of relics and the advancement of the human race. Music, oratory and "study" are the diversions of these young men of the Hotel Viscount
Gomer Themas and George Hale went hunting last week.
Sam Usher's "petrified lizard story" created quite a stir in the pharmacy class.
Alfred Frost often spends nearly a whole day visiting Chamberlain and Horton. The latter have lately changed their rooming place.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar has an excellent article in the March Forum on some profit sharing institutions in the east which he visited during the holidays.
The earnest economists trudged up the hill to the library on Monday evening to make researches into the great field of economic subjects. It was a pretty sight to see so many young minds bent on learning useful things. But the fates seemed to be against them, for the only lamp was rendered useless by the breaking of the chimney. Thus hardly five minutes of economic pleasure was enjoyed, before the assembly broke up and returned homeward

ATHLETICS.
A Few Words of Interest to Men of Brawn.
Base Ball Prospects-Field and Track News Board Meeting Notes.
THAT BIG TOURNAMENT.
Secretary Moody is in receipt of letters from Secretaries of the Athletic Associations of Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri, relative to the proposed Intercollegiate tourney.
Each one states that their respective associations are in hearty accord with the idea, and will gladly lend their co-operation.
The whole matter now rests with the Kansas City Athletic Association, under whose auspices the tournament will be inaugurated.
There can scarcely be a doubt as to the popularity of such a meeting. People are always glad to see battles of brawn and strength, and will lend willing support to athletics not polluted with professionalism.
Yale and Princeton have just scored a great success in the first intercollegiate exhibition of indoor gymnastics. If once started we believe the meeting will become an annual event as great as the Thanksgiving game.
Nothing definite has yet been declared although Secretary Moody is of the opinion that there will be fifteen representatives from each school, besides the base ball teams. There would be no individual prizes, a cup going to the University scoring the greatest number of points.
BASE BALL PROSPECTS
The weather has been unfavorable as yet to any outside practice, so it is a matter of speculation as to who will wear K. U uniforms on the diamond this year.
One thing, however, is certain, we are going to have the best team that has ever been put together in Lawrence. Nor is this all. Those who are in position to know say we will have the crack team of the state, and the best college team in the Northwest.
It is not probable that as much interest will be developed in base ball as in foot ball because of the professional competition in the former. This is of more force in the cities where people have the opportunity of
seeing professional ball But it does no hold in Lawrence or smaller towns, and there is no reason why a first class base ball team should not be given the support and encouragement that is accorded foot ball.
It is not our object to go into a discussion of the relative merits of the two games, but it cannot be denied that the vital objections to foot ball are not found in the game of base ball.
The batteries are at work constantly and are doing excellent work. The pitchers are Gear, Clark and Waggner, while Kelsey, Hessig, Sneider, and squires are practicing behind the bat.
The star work is looked to from Gear and Kelsey. They make the best team that K. U. has ever had. The boys will not listen to Jim Kelsey's retiring. He has for a long time been the ideal catcher of the University, and we have faith that when the time comes Jim will smell the horse hide and fall in line.
Manager Means has been fixing dates with the other teams, but has made no definite arrangements as yet.
BOXING AND WRESTLING
The dome of the main building is being fitted up for the use of the students who will participate in the wrestling and boxing contests.
A large mat covers the floor, and from the ceiling is suspended the punching bag. Two sets of new gloves, and other paraphernalia have arrived. Any one interestad in this line of sport will find at their disposal a splendid outlay and good quarters.
OUR TRAINING QUARTERS.
The engagement of Purtell as instructor is still pending owing to a lack of numbers Any one caring to take a course of instruction under a competent coach will report to Captain Armour.
That there is a lack of interest in the athletic field cannot be wondered at.
We do not think it is our sphere to make complaint in any shape or form of the privilege offered to us.
We have beautiful buildings, well equipped and arranged, excellent instruction—All thanks to the good people of Kansa but there is one thing we haven't got, and no suo-building on the grounds is of more importance—a good gymnasium.
THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.

It is a recognized principle of hygiene that to attain the highest degree of success in mental training, the body must be likewise well trained.
The faculty realize this and require compulsory exercise under competent instructors but where?
That small basement if it could be well equipped, which is impossible on account of the low ceiling, is not a safe place for exercise. It is poorly lighted and has no ventilation.
Chancellor Snow has asked and been promised next year an appropriation to cover the building of a gymnasium.
It is the intention of the Athletic Association that the receipts of the games should go toward building a gymnasium, but from present indications, we will hardly have enough to pay for a punching bag and pair of dumb bells.
COMPANY,ATTENTION!
We are greatly surprised to learn by repeated inquiry that a number of our boys have not the slightest conception of what we term the "spring meet," and many have no intimation whatever that in a month or six weeks will be celebrated our annual local tournament.
We do not attribute this to a lack of interest by any means, and think the Athletic Association or its representatives must be in a large degree responsible.
This is certainly a great oversight on the part of the association. To make the meet a success, and to place the University on the plane she is capable and competent of holding in the Athletic world, there must be some enthusiasm awakened, and this can only be done by action and encouragement of those in charge.
We take this opportunity of announcing that at some early date the people of Lawrence and the University will assemble to witness the feats of strength and acts of prowess of the sons of K. U.
This will be our day of Olympian games, and Mt. Oread will reverberate with cheers as did Mt. Olympus before the Preecian gladiators.
Running, jumping, bicycle races, hammer throwing, wrestling, boxing, trapeze, bars and clubs, are a part of the program for afternoon and evening.
Every student in K. U. is eligible and earnestly solicited to take part.
Prizes of worth and merit will be offered in each event. These prizes are donated by the Kansas City and Lawrence merchants. For further particulars inquiry should be made of A.J.Foster.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
University of Kansas.
Februrry 18, 1895.
To the Athletic Board of the University of Kansas:—
The Advisory Committee on University Athletics desires to call the attention of the Athletic Board to the following facts:
2. Two members of the Athletic Board have incurred the penalty of this rule by failure in last term's work for which conditions are now outstanding.
1. A rule of the University Council provides that no student who has a condition outstanding, or who is in danger of failing in any study, is permitted to represent the University publicly in Athletics.
3. The Advisory Committee considers that these persons cannot longer be regarded as members of the Athletic Board, and therefore recommends to the Athletic Board such action as the conditions require.
WILSON STERLING, Secretary.
F. W. BLACKMAR, Chairman.
NOTES.
Kingsley is said to be the dreaded "dark horse" in coming events.
Atterbury and Alder will enter the boxing contest.
Shiras will again do honors in the wrestling match.
It has been suggested that the introduction of a "cake walk" would be a drawing card.
Ya'e and Harvard have agreed to let Pres. Young of the National Association choose the umpire for their match games.
Clark is in regular training on his wheel. In case of the Kansas City meet he will make a great race.
Will McMurray was elected Custodian at the last regular meeting of the Board. He will have full charge of the Athletic materials.

THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
Centre Rush Stone weighs 205 pounds. He is "training down," and will enter a majority of the events.
Base ball promises to be more popular than ever this year. A series of 42 games has been arranged for in England between American and English teams.
The Harvard-Yale games have been fixed as follows: June 20, Cambridge. June 25, New Haven.
In case of the third game will be played at Newton July 29, under the conditions. a tie must be considered providential.
A large crowd is reported to have attended a match fight between a man and two wild cats, at a Kentucky town and were "disappointed in the tameness of the affair." And yet they talk of foot ball.
Among the foot ball players who will try for the Base ball team are Williamson, Pope and Hester.
Stone and Hill are wearing a dainty foot ball souvenir which found its birth in Harvard. A miniature foot ball in the center of a crimson bow As the college colors are similar, the infringement is legimate.
The cover of the only ball available in the gymnasium has been torn off. While the batteries are the only players at work just now, they should not be detained for want of a base ball, nor be required to use one without a cover.
It is about time to begin work on the McCook field The lime should be removed so the grounds may dry out, and be leveled into shape.
MEETING OF THE BOARD.
The regular meeting of the Athletic Association was held Monday.
As there was not a quorum present they went into a committee of the whole, Mitchell in the chair. and Moody acting Secretary.
The question of the Board's filling vacancies in its own way was raised and decided to be within its province.
A committee consisting of Moody. Simpson and Chamberlain was appointed to solicit among the merchants of town with a view of collecting $300 offered by them toward paying Mr. Cowan's salary. When Mr. Cowan was engaged as instructor at a salary of $1,000, the merchants of the town agreed
to pay $600 of this, the association paying the remaining $400. Three hundred of the six was pledged and collected, the other three hundred is still outstanding, and unless collected from the merchants the Athletic Association must pay.
The financial report of Secretary Moody was tabled for a week.
Mr. Pope's resignation from the board was likewise tabled.
The Advisory Committee reported that according to the constitution only a regularly enrolled student of the University could hold an honorary position or position of management in the association. This was supposed would apply to Manager Simpson, of the foot-ball team, who has withdrawn from the school of arts.
It was shown that Simpson is a regular student in the Law Department, and as his duties have been efficiently and conscientiously performed, the matter was dropped.
The next regular meeting of the Board will be Friday at 12 o'clock.
Dr. Stevens kindly furnished us the following, for which we acknowledge thanks:
Dr. Martin Van Buren Stevens, the oldest law student in the K.U. law school, is looking quite well He attended the G.A.R. Encampment last week. He was out in the late war two years and a half. He has eaten nearly fifty-seven rabbits and two squirrels since last Christmas. He sings in the Oratorio at Music hall twice a week, and Saturday afternoons in the Episcopal church choir. He is remarkably smart for a man of seventy years.
The boys talk of putting tar and feathers on the spotters. Strong evidence has been secured against two of these friends, and it will probably fare hard with them should they continue their dishonorable work.
A subscription dance was given last Friday evening by the Phi Delts and Barbs.
It is said that Harry Lang and Thomas Bailey frequent Snow Hall on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Jacque Morgan delighted the Electrical Seminary last Friday with an interesting lecture on, "The recent developements in railway apparatus."
Fred Funston has returned from a successful lecture tour in the state.

A NEW BIRTH.
Another University Paper is brought into Existence-The K. U. Lawyer.
A meeting was held in the court house on Monday evening for the purpose of organizing another University paper. Mr. Troxel thinks there are not enough University publications here. This new Journal is to be a law school paper exclusively and will from time to time exhibit the bright sayings and also the "masterly efforts" of the law students W.H.H.Piatt and C.R Troxel each claim to be the head of the new paper.
After a most interesting discussion and the construction of great air-castles, the staff of the paper was finally selected.
Mr. Galen Nichols, whom the girls say has most bewitching eyes, will attend to the heavy editorial work. He will be shadowed by Wm. Win ers, John L. Games and the only C. R. Trogel, or as the world would say "that curly headed war stallion."
Judge Lamb will carefully "stasche" all publications which come to his table and reproduce the most interesting items in the exchange column.
John Little will arrange the "literary" matter, and incidentally cuss the printers, should any typographical errors occur. Rolla Mitchell will see that the paper has an extensive circulation, and last but not least, the ad-rustling will be done by no other than W.H.H.Piatt,whom everybody knows.
The name—well it is to be called the "Kansas University Lawyers."
That is a pretty big name, but Mr. Troxel says it will be a big paper, too.
Chamberlain, Horton and Penfield have, as Spellman would say, "joined that happy band," and are now registered at the hotel Viscount, corner of Berkley and Tennessee streets.
Stanley Cristopher made a short visit here last week.
There came pretty near being a "roughhouse" at the G.A.R. dance last Wednesday evening, as the West Lawrence people got to monopolizing things One brave S of V., however declared the program off.
Miss Francis Kellogg has at last put on fraternity colors, and as a result the Pi Phis are rejoicing
The following interesting note addressed to John C. Hall was found on the campus a few days ago. The original copy may be obtained of the local man. We withhold from publication the name of the lady who wrote it.
CITY, Feb. 18, 1895.
KIND FRIEND JOHN:I really did wish to speak to you about some matter, other than of which I had already spoken to you last evening. If you want to,and have time, will you please manage to see me some time soon? With Christian love I am as ever.your friend. P.S.Do you pray often. John? I do,but not nearly so often as I should.
Adna Clarke bloomed out in a new red sweater this week, and he was taken to be Purtell, by a green student.
Troxel says he is going to start another University paper. What position will he hold? Business Manager of Collector?
The spring vacation will begin March 28 and end April 2.
Fletcher has been nicknamed by a certain young lady, Johner.
Mr. Joseph C. Nate, of Chicago, who is Grand Quaester of the Sigma Chi fraternity, was in the city last week, the guest of Alpha Xi chapter.
Miss Francis Canine, of Kansas City. is the guest of Miss Lawrence.
Brady was mistaken for a Haskell indian by a lady, a short time ago.
Hoffman now smokes "hand made" havannas.
Miss Emma Kelly is at home spending a few weeks. The report in the Associated Press that she had been killed by lightning years ago, was false
Several new French books have been added to the library lately.
Miss Mabel Sayre and brother are having a siege of the mumps.
The I. Y. L. club gives a party this week. There is much guessing over the significance of the initials, but it seems to be the universal opinion that it means. "Inquisitive Young Ladies."

W T. PERRY,
COLLEGE politicians are not any more loyal to their college, than professional politicians are to our country.
IN reply to the question: "Why is it, that in all elections, the girls flock to the shelter of the Phi Psis?" Several answers have been forthcoming. The idea that it is simply another argument in favor of the liberty of the press is most prevalent.
ALTHOUGH the promoters of the scheme, advocated the idea of giving all fictions a man on the constitutional committee, it was a noticeable feature of the election that one certain element received their hearty support.
It is all very well for students to say that we will have a paper that will better represent the University if we go into this arrangement whereby we will have but one paper. Now is this, as a matter of fact the truth? Will all the different interests be represented by any one paper?
IN his article in the March Forum, Mr. Henry Holt makes a statement that is wholly false, and places Mr. Blackmar in a very untrue light. Mr. Holt says that so little attention is paid to the importance of Political Economy in Kansas that the legislature caused the chair of Political Economy in the State University to be filled by a man who could teach only populistic principles and was totally unfit for anything else. The Regents of the State Agricultural College have done that which Mr. Holt accuses the Legislature of doing toward K. U. Mr. Blackmar is one of the first men of his subject in this country and occupies an important place on the Forum with Mr. Holt himself.
Now let us look at the reasons advanced by the promoters of this consolidation scheme in favor of the movement. As far as the faculty is concerned their motives are for the best. We could not doubt that for an instant. The faculty are working for the best interest of the Uuniversity entirely, notwithstanding the report that they are following out the desires of the Phi Psis and the sore-headed barbs. Mr. Hopkins deserves more attention in his remarks than any other man. It is a personal matter with him and his reasons are good. He wants that he shall be placed in such a position that he can be able to exert the influence that he is held responsible for by the outside world in regard to composition on University papers. This certainly deserves our most serious attention. Another reason advanced by the promoters is, that they owe it to the merchants to permit but one paper so that the advertising will not fall so heavliy upon them. This is not a good reason and should not bear any weight. The merchants are not forced to advertise in any University paper. Where they do advertise they receive some return. As a matter of fact the merchants ought to advertise as much again as they do now. The
2
THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
students of K. S U. spend in the neighborhood of $200,000,00 every year in Lawrence and practically support a number of the merchants. Then again merchants did not ask that there should be a combination: Instead of that a University student who was looking for a lucrative position as business manager on the combination paper, circulated or caused to be circulated a petition stating that the merchants who signed would only advertise in one University paper! The merchants can refuse to advertise in one paper then just as well as they can now in two.
WE would like to know what the province of a college weekly is. As we understand it, a Weekly is to chronical college events. It is not to produce articles of questionable literary merit written by some student who is sitting by his 'study window'. If a literary paper is aimed at let us organize a magazine such as is published by the students of the University of Virginia. It is probably the best college magazine received in exchange here. This would give all of the men of recognized literary merit a chance and will let the weeklies alone. This of course will not do, and we have not thought of its being considered. Still it is the only thing that ought to be done. It is the only fair way that will work-that can be thought of
WHEN will the malcontents and sore heads in the University stop trying to interfere in the management of student affairs? The anonymous notice posted in conspicuous places in the halls of the University, entitled "The Combination of the Ringsters" deserves the condemnation that it will doubtless receive from every fair minded student. After referring to a meeting held by the University "ring-heelers," and saying that the "gang merits Waterloo" at the mass meeting held in reference to the University papers, it admonishes students of good character not to let ringsters run the organizations in the University It further says: "In the coming meeting for the purpose of adopting the constitution which the committee of seven is preparing, let respectable students demonstrate whether University organizations shall be run by the pot house politicians, or by the students who are for the University and its best interests."
The writer of this anonymous notice
plainly wishes to be recognized as among the students of good character referred to above. The publishing of anonymous matter is one of the lowest schemes to which a disreputable politician will stoop for the furtherence of his selfish desires. Honest students will pay no attention to this unwarranted notice.
It is certainly evident that there are two elements in this University that cannot be reconciled. There are two factions that have to fight each other to gain their rights The faculty promise that this will be remedied by faculty supervision. This is certainly all right in theory, but let us see how it will work in practice: The majority gains control of the paper, and this state of affairs continues for two terms. The minority now steps in and claims the rights that are given them by the faculty. The faculty goes to work and demands that certain positions on the staff shall be vacated and declare that the company must elect men to fill these positions from the minority. This would bring an out break that would dissolve the company and we should have more papers than we have now!

Ex-Capt Emmon's Ideas on Foot Ball Reform.
A Plea for Tennis-General College Sporting News-Notes.
EMMONS ON FOOT BALL REFORM.
"If the game of foot ball is to continue," writes ex-Captain Bob Emmons in the Harvard graduates' magazine, "the colleges must begin its reformation immediately. The needed reforms must be conducted along these lines: Reduction of the excessive training, reduction of the notoriety, publicity and expenditure and elimination of the objectionable features of the game itself."
"The umpires and referee should be empowered to disqualify without appeal, while the referee is to decide exclusively all questions relating to the ball."
After entering into a discussion of the "fair catch" Mr. Emmons continues:
"The results of experience and the proofs
THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.

of statistics all go to show that injuries result very seldom from interference, most of them being caused by runners and tracklers meeting in the field."
To low tackling and piling on he attributes many of the injuries, and suggests that the rules against them be rigidly enforced. For all tackling below the knees twenty-five yards should be given, and in case the tackling is deliberate the man should be dismissed from the field.
As a remedy for brutality, the penalty should be immediate disquailification for the game.
"This disqualification should last for a year at least, unless revoked by the athletic committees of two colleges * * Of course no amount of ruling will do away with viciousness. That can only be done by the spirit of fair play instilled into the men by the captains and coaches."
Foot ball reform in a few words will be found in the closing sentence. So long as the players are instructed by foul or brutal play to "do up" the best men of the opposing team, so long will foot-ball be a treacherous and dangerous game.
GOOD WORK IN PRACTICE.
The applicants to the base ball team have been out twice for practice during the week. The work of the boys is flattering, and while it is too early to estimate the individual strength, it can be seen that the material for a great team is here
Mitchell, Alden, Todd, Williamson, Atterbury, Nimrod, and Walker were on the infield. Their work is sharp, and each one handles himself like an old timer. The outfield does not show up very strong but there were too many men on the grounds for effective practice.
Squires Hassig and Sneider are working hard behind the bat, and honors are about even. The pitcher's box seems to be turned over to Gear. He is fully capable of taking care of that end of the game, but there should be two or three others to back him up.
The management wish it understood that no selections have been made nor will be until everyone is given a fair trial. There is a disposition on the part of some to feel that the team is already made up, and their efforts would be wasted. This
is a great mistake, and while the old players should of right be shown preference, if they are out-classed they will be forced to retire.
Manager Means will go to Kansas City this week and look after the purchase of new uniforms. The favorite uniform of the club is red pants and shirt, and black stockings, belt and cap
No games have as yet been scheduled. A challenge has been received from the University Club of Omaha. This club represents all the Universities of Omaha.
TENNIS AND BOATING
At the meeting of the Board it was decided that the committees on Tennis and Boating should take immediate steps toward putting these in running order under University recognition. The tennis committee is composed of Hill and Maxwell, while Cheadle and Cracraft represent the boating interests.
As to the latter we cannot hope for a great deal this year, although the committee will figure on renting a number of boats. With the tennis it is different. This game has fast come into popularity, and today every small town has its tennis courts, while all the colleges of size have their tennis clubs solidly an organized department of the Athletic Association. We are especially favored here with good courts, and better, some excellent players, and ardent admirers of the game. If for no other reason than that it can be participated in by the ladies of the school, the Athletic Board should use all its power in giving them advantage of this sport under the Association direction of the association. Mr. Hill is endeavoring to get possession of the courts on Adams St.
AN IMPORTANT CONCESSION.
Kelsey, Gear and Means visited the faculty in meeting the other day. It was not a forced interview on the part of the faculty. The boys went before them with a grievance, and their purpose was gracefully acceeded to by the board of instructors.
It had been ruled by the faculty that the base ball team should not play any match games with professional or semi-professional teams. Captain Mitchell had in the meantime met Manager James Manning of the Kansas City Blues, who agreed to arrange an exhibition game between the Blues and K.U. boys. This was a great opportunity
4
THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
to show the relative strength of professional and college base ball, and the boys were wild to accept the offer. The ruling of the faculty is appreciated by all the sport-loving students, and should the Kansas City game be called, it will be a great event in K U. Athletics.
A NEW BOXING CLASS.
The idea of a boxing class with "Patsy" Purtell as director has fallen through-for lack of support. There was enough interest shown in this endeavor, however, to make it plain that under other good conditions a large class could be organized, so at the urgent request of a number of the boys Pope and Armour have decided to fill the demand. Each of them is a trained and clever boxer, and there is no doubt that their enterprise will prove successful. The terms are $2\frac{1}{2}$ for twelve lessons, and already over twenty have been received.
The dome of the main building is now ready for use. Any one wishing to "punch the bag" or use the boxing gloves, is privileged to do so—the only condition being a payment of flfty cents for a key, and this will be refunded.
"TO BE OR NOT TO BE?"
A week has gone and nothing has been heard of the Intercollegiate tournament. No further communications have been received, nor has any delegate been sent to Kansas City to confer with the Athletic Club there. If K.U is the instigator of this proposed tourney, she should certainly take the initiative and push the matter to a successful end or a quick death. The other schools are awaiting our action, and there is no time for delay.
THE LOCAL CONTEST.
The date of the local Athletic tournament has been fixed, and will take place the first Saturday in May. There is considerable more interest being manifested and it is believed that as the time approaches, the enthusiasm will increase. It is important that those expecting to take part, should not delay getting in readiness. Six weeks is short enough time to prepare for any match, and if some of the stars do not watch the game they will find themselves replaced
Instructor Cowan is desirous that the applicants shall report early, and anyone wishing to do special training, either in the
THE ATHLETIC MEETING.
gymnasium, or outside, will be excused from the class drill.
On Friday last the regular monthly meeting of the Athlectic Board was called. There was a quorum this time, who graciously voted to accept the action of the committee of the whole of the previous meeting.
The resignations of Messrs. Pope and Cheadle as members of the Board were read and accepted. The resignation of President Maxwell was tabled
It was carried that the standing committees on Tennis and Boating should make some arrangement for organization, and report at the next meeting As by Treasurer Moody's request, a committee of three was appointed to audit the books and accounts of the Association.

THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
FOR A NEW PAPER.
A Mass Meeting Held to Form a Combination A Committee of Seven Elected.
Pursuant to a call of the Chancellor, a mass meeting of the students of the University was held in University hall on Friday at noon. The call stated the object of the meeting to be the procuring a means where by the University publications might be combined into one grand Journal, which should be teeming with legitimate news, brilliant literary efforts, and all under the directing eye of the Council. There was a fairly good attendance of students, considering the very inconvenient time for such a meeting. Chancellor Snow acted as chairman of the meeting, and the business of the day was started bravely on. Maurice Alden arose and addressing the Chancellor, moved that "the following resolutions"be adopted Mr. Alden must certainly have meant every word he said for he talked in a very earnest tone of voice. The vote was taken, the motion carried.
One of the provisions was that no "faction" was to be regarded. All this time James Owens, or as some call him, Boss Croker, was smiling serenely at the Phi Gams and Sigs with that I-told-you-so expression on his face. The committee of seven to be selected came next. Mr. Mitchell was nominated, but the tellers clearly counted him out.
Well, then the list was finally "filled" and here are the names: Prof. Newson, R. W. Cone, W N. Logan, Galen Nichols, S. S. Brown, Blanche Thoburn, and James Patton, Chairman.
W. H. H. Piatt sprung a sensation on the audience when he arose and said that he had understood that the committee was to consist of two members from each department of the school. Could it be that the rumor that "Boss Croker" had arranged all this was true. Many of the students thought so at any rate.
The meeting then adjourned. The committee is to draw up a constitution for the new paper—that is for the proposed paper.
The universal feeling seems to be that this new scheme will meet an untimely death, for none of the papers now in existence seem to fall into the spirit of the new deal. It is claimed that the members of a certain fraternity are at the bottom of the scheme. This fraternity, by the way, is now not represented on any of the University publications.
Another meeting will be called soon to take further action in this matter, and at that meeting, no doubt, there will be an "interesting" discussion. The student body is now represented in the papers, and it is only a few disgruntled barbs, and one fraternity that are crying "Wolf!"

"PARKHURST" Pope.
“Good morning!" do you belong to the ring? ___
PIATT made a good move when he got Pope to do the "Judas Iscariot act."
They are using Pope as a cats paw to pull the chestnuts out of the fire.
JIMMY OWENS, who has had the action of the Athletic board, in regard to the management of the track Athletic team, burned into his mind, is simply "tickled to death" with Pope's work.
We have decided to add one more man to our staff. Mr.W.H.Wynn Jr.will help Mr. Lyon in the local department. All those who are acquainted with the "Genial Willie" will recognize the fact that we have made a good strike.
THE editors of College Life and the Beacon are throwing stones at each other. They both seem to live in glass houses.
The students of Iowa State University seem to be having a little fuss of their own. The Athletic Association has decided not to play either foot ball or base ball. This may mean the dissolution of our foot ball league.
We do not care to be led into a controversy with the local man on the Journal. He ought, however, to "stick to his knitting" We have no doubt but that he is an exemplary man in his place.
If the faculty will defer the publication of their new paper until next September the "Courier" will probably suspend. But our contracts run until June and to realize anything on our ads we shall have to continue until then.
SINCE writing the article on "spotters" we have decided that we were wrong in a few instances and wish to retract a few sayings. We think that the University has not employed "spotters," and that the charges against a prominent "barb." are false. All the rest we still maintain.
The Advisory Committee realizing the wishes of the students and especially the wishes of the base ball men, decided to allow our team to play with the "Blues." This is certainly a move in the right direction. If this keeps on the faculty may dictate and welcome.
We have a flourishing University and one of which we should be proud. We should take as much pride in our University as Yale men do in theirs Just because Yale is in the east it should be no dearer to a western man than our own University. Stand up for K.U! Be loyal men and women and we shall have a college that will be second to no other in the west. Why talk about this

college or that college? Why say I "want to go to this place or that place next year?" If we will, we can be satisfied. We can get lots of good right here at home. Let us stand up for K. U. year in and year out. Let us come back to Commencement. Let us get up class feeling. Let us make our school the pride of the State and the West! We can if we but put our shoulders to the wheel.
IF the people who have so much to say would only keep out of the daily papers with their trash K U. would be much better off. Every man who has some dirty stuff to tell on some one else puts it into a paper and the matter is published all over the state. We would like to have a great many new buildings and larger appropriation for running expenses. Are we taking the right method to accomplish this end when we wash our dirty linen before the people of Kansas. These people become disgusted with us and when we ask them for anything they refuse. We have no more trouble than any other college. We get along decidedly well. But when ever a little fight gets started both sides publish a lot of "rot" about the other and we are painted blacker than we really are.
The publishing of the article in last Saturday nights Journal by W. S. Pope has created such stir in the University that we think that we can discuss the matter without prejudice so that it will be of some interest to our readers. It seems as though the "barb" organization, realizing in Mr. Pope a man whom one had better have for a friend than an enemy, made advances to him and was cordially received. Mr. Pope no doubt seeing fame and honor flying near his lightning rod by the use of this organization. Honor came early to this politic youth. He was elected to a chair in the Athletic board by a good majority. He shows his taste for game when he deserted his friends and looming up under the banner of the "slow of foot" helped them to elect their men to the positions of honor on the board in September. He was appointed chairman of the financial committee by the "slow of foot" for thus aiding them to down the "ring." Things went on in this manner until it got to be time for the election of foot ball captain. Mr. Pope remembering
how well he thought he could play, thought that he might run for Captain and probably with good results. But there were none so poor to do him reverence. He got it not! In time the mid-winter election drew 'nigh' and Mr. Pope thought that perhaps the board could not do business without him as chairman and consequently decided to sacrifice himself. When he heard that another man who really deserved it wanted it and found out that he could not get it he decided that the "omen" had been otherwise and that he "was called" to be manager of base ball team. The base ball men who liked Pope immensely, because he was such a good catcher, would not let him make his work harder by running the ball team and advised him not to run. This advise Mr. Pope heeded. He went back to the "ring" and told them that he had decided that they should elect him president instead of base ball manager. The election came at last and the members of the board were all at the meeting. H. I. Maxwell was elected president and poor Pope 'went after' the ring with the well known results. If we have told more than that which happened we will correct in our next issue. We got our information from merely observing things as they happened. We have no use for 'rings' etc. but we don't like people who take an oath and just because they can't get the earth go back on it, any better.
The recent action of the town Council in passing an ordinance prohibiting the sale of cigarettes within the corporate limits has given the long naired, sunken eyed, "soiled linened," country editors a chance to display their wit in connection with that pernicious habit attributed to the sissy-boy element of the University. Perhaps in the old Ed Little, Bill White, Frank Crowell days, these newspaper witticisms would have been consistent but nowadays the college man regales himself with his pipe and tobacco. The ordinance was ment to kill the habit which it is sad to admit is too prevalent in our public schools.
Work has been stopped on the new Physics building. The appropriation has been exhausted and the new approprirtion put in the hands of the board of regen's. It was formerly under the direction of the board of public works.

OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
An important meeting was announced to the Athletic Board to be held Tuesday noon. In accordance with the notice a quorum was present. The business in question was a financial one, and no one will deny that this comes under the head of important business. The Treasurer's report as published in this column a few weeks ago, showed that the amount of money available for miscellaneous purposes to be $53.18. This was not the total amount in the hands of the treasurer. There were besides two items, one, $40 a trophy won by the foot-ball team of 1892, and $150.25 the proceeds of an entertainment which was to be reserved for a building fund. It had been voted by the Association that these two amounts should not be molested.
At the meeting Tuesday a motion was made to add these amounts (150.25 and 40) to the contingent expense fund. This met with some opposition on the ground that these monies were reserved, and to disturb them was beyond the Constitutional power of the board. On the other hand it was held that $5218 is too small a sum to build up a good base-ball team, and provide the necessary materials for the spring tournament. The appropriation was made as a matter of expediency, and we have faith that it will prove a good business move by making a handsome return in receipts
It is important that every member of K. U. should know the exact condition of the Athletic treasury As is sometimes supposed, the Athletic Association is not "Coining money."
IS FOOT-BALL WAVERING?
There promises to be battle royal next foot ball season It may not be erroneous to say that the opposing forces have already come within reaching distance, and a few bombs have exploded in both ranks. This is no boys play, either, and unless the spirit of prophesy which seizes us at the pre ent writing is the same one that hovers around
the attics of weather observer Walker, and his unfortunate co-workers, we will suggest to fellow seekers of knowledge that you get under cover for something is going to drop.
For a long time there have been discordant mutterings and mild criticisms against the rough way in which foot-ball games are played. These have been general in tone and enlisted no particular attention or sympathy until within the last few months. When at the close of the foot ball season a reckoning was taken it was found that eleven lives had been sacrificed, to say nothing of the number of permanent injuries, and accidents of a less serious nature, people became justly alarmed. The press took up the matter, and a regular crusade was instituted. Public indignation was aroused. A number of the colleges suspended the game, but the foot ball season soon ended and with it the wounded feelings of the people.
A few weeks ago the faculty of Harvard college by a large vote decided to abolish inter-collegiate foot ball games. By a second oath it was decided to abolish the game entirely. This action is not decisive, however, and will be laid before the Athletic Committee. But it must be borne in mind that the faculty is all powerful This move has awakened the student body and people at large, and what the result will be, time alone must answer.
The University of Iowa has suspended its foot-ball, therefore breaking the circuit of which we are a part. This step was taken by the Athletic Association itself, because the faculty had suspended the Captain of the team who had "flunked out," and would not be reinstated by the faculty. This is probably only a suspension of operations, if reports may be relied on, with a view of intimidation
We do not put ourselves on record as opposing foot-ball. If kept within the bounds of common sense it is a healthy, vigorous, and excellent sport. It will continue popular so long as it is strictly a college game, and not polluted with professionalism. Our people enjoy rough and exciting contests, but not bull fights between men, and if the big eastern schools continue to work in blacksmiths and prize-fighters because, of their killing powers, foot-ball will die a quick and violent death.

BASE-BALL.
All the base-ball applicants were invited out to take part in a practice game Monday evening. A notice was posted by Captain Mitchell assuring the boys the rumor that the team is already picked is entirely erroneous and urging all interested in the game to report by practice. As a result two full nines were on hand, besides a goodly number of spectators. It is the general verdict that the base-ball team this year will be stronger far than any previous one, and also that the team will be given better patronage than heretofore
This season gives promise of being the greatest base-ball year on record. The wild and enthusiastic spirit of three and four seasons ago, is exerting itself thus early and with renewed vigor. It cannot be contradicted that base-ball is the greatest game that has ever been wrought out. The living popularity of this National sport is nothing short of astounding. It has lived a prosperous life while banks and business houses have fallen on all sides, and now with business actively awakening it promises a still more brilliant future. The reason may be briefly given. Base ball is the most innocent game of any force that has been offered, it involves a minimum degree of danger, it is clearly the most scientific. In the professional ranks no less than twelve leagues are organized for the coming season. The game is being introduced in countries that have never seen a base-ball game. The colleges are developing some phenomenal players, and K.U. will be away up in the list.
These are some of the men who were on the field Monday: Catchers, Hassig, Hester, Squires, Snyder, Himrod, Crebo; pitchers, Gear. Wagner, Jno. Clark, Fred Clark: first base, Mitchell, Stone: second base, Alden, Andy Foster, Mason, Walker, Schriner: third base, Turner, Williamson, Jackson. Agrew: short-stop, Todd, Atterbury. Nott: left field, Seckler, Kelsey, Welsh, Piatt: center field, Blackshire, Wilder, Phillips, Penfield.
We would not attempt a comparison of the relative merits of the players. The management will urge on the practice and give everyone a "fair and impartial trial."
The work of the infield shows up stronger than the out, but with Kelsey and Piatt in
case they will go to the outfield. two of these points will be well taken care of. Todd's work at short is especially commendable. Among the list of catchers honors are easy. Hester backed Gear a part of the time and handles himself well. Besides the mighty Gear, Wagner and John Clark, the colored law student, are strong men. When Jlm Kelsey struck wildly at three consecutive balls from Clark everybody laughed.
NOTES.
Clyde Miller astounded the spectators the other evening by running 100 yards in fifteen seconds.
Ira Motter, the brilliant Athlete of Baker. 194, was in town last week and may enter here.
Frank Sexton, a medical student of Michigan State University, has signed with Boston as pitcher.
If Cornell can raise the necessary $5000 she will send a crew to England to take part in the Henley regatta.
Andy Foster will go to Kansas City during the holidays to gather in the prizes offered by the generous K. C. merchants for our local tournament.
The inter-collegiate tourney is still hanging in the balance. It will be decided in a week whether or not it shall be undertaken. The "Western Sportsmen" of Kansas City heartily indorses the plan.
Cracraft has secured possession oftwo for the best boats at this point, and will supervise their use. He is desirous of having a local regatta if the crews can be trained.
As yet the committee on tennis have made no arrangement about the courts. Hill hopes to get possession of the Adams street courts. The lovers of the tennis game will be glad to learn there is a tennis tournament among the other events.
Mitchell and Means were in Kansas City Wednesday looking after the Athletic interests of K. U. Manager Manning of the K.C. Blues was seen and offers two dates to the K.U. team, April 12 and 13 or 23 and 24. He is willing to have a game at Kansas City and one at Lawrence, or both at Kansas City.
The Harvard-Yale Athletic Contests will be held May 18. The walk will be dropped from the list of events after this year.

Ex-Captains Wiggins and Cook, and Tim Keefe, the old baseball pitcher, will do the coaching for the Harvard baseball team this year. Two games will be played with the University of Pennsylvania nine, May 10 and June 8.
In a recent issue of the "Outing." Piatt is given a flattering notice for his brilliant play ng against Ann Arbor's big left tackle in the Kansas City game last fall.
SATURDAY, MAY 8.
The Athletic Association have fixed the date of the Athletic contests, Saturday May 8. A number of the colleges have already held their indoor contests. These have not only met with popular enthusiasm, but the results have been phenomenal. Several college indoor records have been raised among them the one mile walk.-7:55 and running high jump-5 feet $ \frac{6}{4} $ inches by the Athletes of Union college. The world's record for standing hop, skip, and jump was broken at the Central College gymnasium tournament. 30 feet, 4 in, five inches over record. This means that if K. U. wishes to clinch the reputation she has been acquiring in the Athletic field, some great work must be done, and if possible, a few standing records kicked off. We have several promising strong and agile men, and have the confidence that we will figure in the record breaking craze. What's the matter with pressing Matteson, Steinberger and Shellenberger into service? Foster will shortly have the proffered prizes on exhibition, which may stimulate the faltering to their best efforts.
A CLEAN SWEEP.
K U. Republican Club Elect Officers.
There never was a meeting held in the history of the University which went through from start to finish with such tranquility as the Republican club did Monday night, at the court house. Promptly at eight o'clock President weans called to order those present, who had previously been conversing in undertone in small groups anticipating the approaching election of
officers. There were in all ten men present representing the grand old party to which a large majority of the students belong. When the pleasure of the meeting was asked, for a brief time silence was supreme. John Steele, whose face bore that serene complacency, whether smoking a candidate's cigar or striking a railroad superintendant for a pass to an irrigation convention, arose and moved that the club proceed to the election of officers. Nominations being cailed for, the ever ready John was the first to his feet. After a grou-diloquent harangue on the Republican party, and becoming vituperation for populism and democracy, the erstwhile reporter for the Lawrence Journal, with that suavity of manner characteristic of the man, after many encomiums on the gentleman's ability and loyalty to the cause, nominated for president, Mr. Adna Clark. After the applause had subsided his election was declared unanimous. Realizing that he had it all his own way Mr. Steele nominated the whole ticket and it went through splendidly. Mitchell being elected vice-president, Hilliard Johnson Secretary and Prouty treasurer. All went well until the last member of the executive committee was to be elected, when it was discovered that there would be one member present who would have to go without an office as there were not enough by one to go around. So contrary to precedent, there were two nominations for this last office. It was a neck and neck race but Jim Steele, brother to the ubiquitous John, was victorious over his opponent by one vote. Excitement was at fever heat when the result was announced and the successful candidate rushed to a window to cool his heated brow. The magnanimous John Steele, whose connection with the University for several years past has been by telephone only, moved to adjourn, and folding his great coat about his military figure walked out into the open air and disappeared in the darkness leaving his companions to turn out the gas and close the doors.
Mrs. B. W. Woodward will receive the Women's League and all the young women of the University on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mr. Woodward will give a short talk upon the new paintings in his valuable Art collection.

The Professor has prepared a geological map of the dry portions of the state for the commission, and hopes to begin sinking wells at once. Several of the geological students, will obtain positions, for the summer with this experimentation party.
To the average student who is only interested in University politics, so far as to see what he considers the election of good men this present squabble which has been aroused by the self appointed "non-ringsters" against those whom they denounce as "ringsters," has no meaning. It is easy enough to see that a few who are sore at a few others, have embraced a long desired opportunity and are making the proposed new paper plan a bone of contention, attempting to cover up their schemes by enlisting disinterested persons on the side they happen to have taken in this matter.

THE NEW PAPER
The Mass Meeting not an Enthusiastic One - Another Meeting Next Wednesday.
The report of the committee, appointed to draft a constitution was read and adopted in mass meeting held Friday noon. The meeting was well attended, at first, but when a motion to adopt the constitution by section a majority of the students left the chapel, leaving about eighty persons to transact business of such importance as the founding of a representative paper. The plan as reported by the committee seemed to meet no objection by those present with the exception of two sections which were amended and deferred for further consideration until a meeting to be held next Wednesday. One was in respect to the business manager being allowed to keep all that is to be made over and above expenses. The other proposition, which will probably percipitate a lively quarrel before the matter is settled, is a plan to divide the honors between the two principle factions of the University, the Frats and Barbs. The amendment provides that when the Editor-in-chief is a Frat, the managing Editor shall be a Barb, and visa versa.
In order to insure an equal representation and therefore equal interest in the new paper to the fair minded student this amendment must seem an equitable one. To provide for a good attendance at the meeting Wednesday, it should be set an hour when an event of such importance as dinner will not keep many away. A meeting called at a quarter of twelve would be largely attended. A committee composed of Andy Ewart, C. C. Brown, Adna Clarke, Prof. Canfield and Shefield Ingails, was elected to sell stock for the new company, which will be called the University Weekly. Stock will sell at one dollar a share and no one can hold more than one share.
Irvings interpretation of Faust will be the next attraction at the Bowersock Opera House on Tuesday evening March 26. John Griffith has a renowned reputation in his character of Mephistopolis and is supported by a very strong company. The production well deserves the liberal patronage which it will undoubtedly receive.
Pronouncing Contest.
The "pronunciation" contest held last Friday in the chapel was won by Mr. J. H. Engle '97 receiving as a prize a very handsome International Dictionary. Miss Don Bowersock '97, who was second, received a three volume history of the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. The contest was a new venture extremely interesting and instructive, not only to the participants but also to the audience. Professors Carruth, Hodder and Wilcox acted as judges. The contestants showed great proficiency in the pronunciation of the most difficult catch words, the mistakes occuring with words most frequently used. The several divisions and classes of the English department have held preliminary contests, the winners of which appeared in the final one on Friday. A feature of the affair which should not be disregarded was the show of class spirit on the part of the Sophomores and Freshmen. A college tradition which has so recently received almost a death blow here. The representatives of both classes were adorned with colors and after the decision was announced the Sophomores gave their yell not very vociferously it is true, but it sufficed to remind one of the days when exuberance of youth was not frowned on as undignified.
The following "editorial" occupies a prominent place in the Students Journal. of recent date.
Knowing personally the persons upon whose characters the Courier cast a reflection in its last issue, we would say that there was no foundation whatsoever, for the slurs thrown out by our friend, the Courier. It would seem that a college paper which indulges in such unseemingly and cruel jokes, has indeed fallen far below the position it should occupy among the organs of a state university. Students Journal.
The Journal probably refers to the local referring to two pharmacy students. All that need be said in this particular is that the local was published as a joke. The local editor has been informed, by a member of the pharmacy faculty, that he had obtained evidence against one of these gentlemen.
Curbing is being put in on the north side of Adams street, and in front of the library. It was necessary to use blasting powder in some places to make the excavations.

THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
A MODERN GAME
Written for the Courier by Dalonzo.
We watched a very peculiar game
In the Club room the other day,
It had the strongest terms of any
We ever saw them play.
'Twas 'shoot a quarter,' 'kill the bill'
'Some one fade me quick'
'Come up, natural, lovely dice'
'Great Gosh! my point's big Dick.'
'Two in the the Hog-face, let'er go,'
'Make it all or none'
'I wont let loose for fifteen cents,'
'Might as well throw for fun.'
'Look out, boys, for a mess of craps'
'Hold up, my point is Joe!'
'Take in the money, I 'aint right'
'For out on seven I go.'
Such was the game we saw them play,
In the Club room dingy and old,
But the names of those who did the act,
Of course, shall not be told.
Although 'tis a pastime sport, wherein.
They boster away their souls,
Yet their claim on Heaven is as great as t
Of th' politicians within our schools.
Joseph Garrett, of Leaveworth was in the city Friday visiting his Sigma Chi brothers. Several dinner baskets were ";borrowed this week." When the owners went to their baskets to have a quiet meal, they found that some mean persons had carefully extracted the contents. They probably mistook it for "free lunch."
Chamberlain says that if the proposed ordinance in Kansas City is passed, he can't spend the day there on 15 cents.
The military department of the State Normal school at Emporia has been disrupted by what the Students salute as a meeting in the battalion. A court martial has been ordered by the commandant, and charges have been preferred against him by way of retaliation by the offending students.
Prof. Lucien I. Blake; has succeeded in establishing electrical communication by wire between the land and a vessel anchored several miles out in the ocean. Prof. Blake is a Kansas man and occupies the chair of Physics and Electrical Engineering at the Kansas State University-Chicago Herald The Herald is in error as to the nature of Professor Blake's invention, the telephonic communication being brought about without the use of wire, the salt water being the only medium.
Fred Funston lectured to the Historical Seminary yesterday afternoon, on "The geography, history and resources of Alaska. There was a good attendance. As is the case with all Mr. Funston's lectures, this one was very entertaining. His trip to Alaska was made under the order of the U. S. government. Having his expenses paid he was enabled to investigate the more thoroughly. He has a valuable collection of stereopticon slides made from photographs which he took while in Alaska.
