Oread Society.
Oread Society met yesterday afternoon and listened to an excellent literary program, as follows: Declamation, Frank Crowell; essay, Evelyn Smith; reading, Laura Lyons, declamation, Josie Cook; declamation, Sadie Emery; essay, L. A. Stebbins. All the performers did excellently. After recess there was an interesting debate on the question—Resolved, That all the Charitable Institutions should be supported by the State. Affirmative, S. T. Gilmore, W. S. Jenks; negative, A. C. Markley, W. M. Thacher. The judges gave the verdict to the negative.
It being the regular day for the election of the June contest program, the following persons were elected to represent Oread: Orator, Harry Smith; debater, Denton Dunn; declaimer, Miss Josie Cook; essayist, Miss Ella Ropes; president of the evening, Miss Evelyn Smith. Mr. Smith is a fine orator and able writer. He is editor-in-chief of the Courier. Mr. Dunn is also a first-class speaker and a writer of talent and experience. He is business manager of the Courier. Miss Josie Cook already has the reputation of being one of the finest declaimers in the University. Miss Ropes is a well known and able writer and will do the society honor. Miss Smith will certainly preside with dignity and grace. The whole election passed off very quietly, only thirty-four votes being polled, though more members were present. All were elected without opposition except the essayist. The society is in a flourishing condition and has no equal in work done the past month. —Herald-Tribune.

If the Freshman class of '70 isn't a daisy.
What the Pharmacy boys do their vacant hour.
And if they don't go pretty high up sometimes.

Why everything is so quiet now.
And if that party won't be the finest ever given in Lawrence.
What character you will represent at the I. C. party.
Why so many boys take girls to the "dark lectures."
When "the six teniest" Betas will give another party.
NOTES.
Why we don't have a class party.
Or a K. S. U. hop, ball, dance, or something to stir up the animals.
War Against Students.
When I was a youngster, says a writer, I witnessed a war of hats. It originated at Harvard. Certain under-graduates who wished to distinguish themselves, took to wearing what is common at Universities abroad, the mortar-board or head gear which consists of a skull cap surmounted by a black square of the same material. These were sported not in the precincts of Harvard College only, but conspicuously in the streets of Boston. The truckmen and carmen of the city choose to regard the hats as a pretentious symbol of aristocracy, and many of the protesting drivers consequently done in ridicule vast caricatures of the scholars. Hats sometimes decorated with cabbage leaves, onions and other ostentatious ornaments. Hence, when the Harvard lads came in contact with those who wore their absurd copies fierce fights ensued, and were continued until the faculty and the police had to combine to bring them to an end. But such is not the case here, as all students wearing one of Abe Levy's stylish hats are regarded as gentlemen and are not molested. Abe always carries a large and complete line of the latest styles. Call and see him.
