FIRST BUSINESS MANAGER OF MONITOR IN THE C ITY •Joseph LaCour wo has been absent fron. Omaha for the past two years studying at Howard and Columbia universities, and working for the last few months at Richmond, Va., re turned home Tuesday morning much to the delight of his parents and friends. Mr. LaCour, it will be recalled, was the first business manager of The Monitor. He was then a student in the Omaha High school. Upon his graduation he entered the Nebraska State university at Lincoln, and at the outbreak of the war was enrolled as a member of student officers' train ing camj;. The officer in charge took the pos'tion that a colored student ecu!:! not train there, although a reg u!a"!y enrolled student of the uni versity. The chancellor of the uni versity went on record as stating that this was in direct conflict with the policy of the university which ad mited all qualified students to its halls and cadet corps, of which privi leges colored students had availed themselves witout the slightest fric tion or embarrassment. Mr. LaCour was then sent to Howard university. His case was taken up with the War department, which ruled that students could and should be trained at he inptituions where they were enrolled. Mr. LaCour could have returned to his Fta*? university, but inasmuch as his case had already caused him much loss of time, and returning to Nebras ka would result in further delay, he derided to lemain at Howard.
