Oread.
Blood!
Schemes.
Combinations.
Oread is itself again.
Somebody is lying to somebody.
To the Victor belongs toe spoils.
There is blood all over the Oread moon.
What has become of the annual 87 class party?
This is a rich harvest time for the Oread treasury.
There was almost a war in the Senior class last Friday.
In Kansas we have a "cold snap," then we have a "soft snack."
Where is the previous man who wanted to bet against Lilyey?
Nobody knoweth what a day or an Oread election will bring forth.
Read the Views column for a spirited defense of the Normal society.
Fire extinguisher have been hung in the halls throughout the building
Beware of the political fraud who has promised both sides for every office.
Why should so many people go to Niagara Falls in this age of skating rinks?
The Senior English Lit. class is now studying Sir Phillip Sidney's Defense of Poetry.
Nobody knows nothin about Oread politics, but there is a heap of silent working going on just the same.
Societies whose reports do not appear in the Courier should, if they desire such, stir up their lazy reporters.
They say that Ed Blair carries dynamite with him all the time, and that his chapel oration was just a blind.
The students who took their girls to Collier's lecture on "The Ideal Home" must have had an eye to business.
A large number of the students attended the reception of the Knights of Pythias last Thursday, and report a splendid time.
If you see a fellow going around with a black eye or a swollen lip,you may be pretty sure that that fellow has been up to Yohe's.
In a burst of confidence a Senior informed ye local that he had been trying for two years to get his girl's photo, and at last had her negative
I will say to the thief who stole my overshoes, that if he does not want his name to appear on the police court record, he had better either return them or keep them well concealed. —W. L. K.
Four pious students of the religious convent at Baldwin recently fell from grace in the matter of strong drink and no longer enjoy the liberal society of that liberal institution. Moral: Beware of "infidel schools."
It is a lamentable fact that at present there go to the K. S. U. boys—little children, "kids," as it were—who take delight in mixing the overshoes left in the hall. The faculty would receive the thanks of almost all the students if they would make this baby play punishable by expulsion.
To the Senior class met Wednesday to fill the vacancies caused by resignations on the class day program. A. E. Curdy was chosen poet. F. W. Barnes was elected historian. It was resolved to add a "Mantle Speech" to the program, and Miss Nettie Hubbard was selected for the position. A committee was appointed on invitations and programs.
The following is vouchered for by a Junior editor: He was a Senior and was giving a young lady a sleigh ride in the vacation. He mentioned that he was connected with a paper at college. She thought that seemed absurd, and when he looked surprised, added that he "hadn't shown much familiarity with the press." He took the hint.
The June program of the Normal society was elected without the usual carnage, and is as follows: Chairman, M. L. Field; essayists, Hattie Black and C. H. Nowlin; debaters, Mary Sabin and L. H. Rose; declaimer, Flora Eddy; orator, M. E. Pierson. If the work done in the society by these members is an index to the success of the June entertainment, it will be well worth climbing Mt. Oread to hear.
Oread had a regular old fashioned meeting last week. The president was unable to keep order without resorting to fining. The program was very good, all the members being prepared. Miss Lillian Bell favored the society with a piano solo. The regular election of officers followed, amid a din and confusion that were so common last year, but which have not been heard in Oread hall for many months. The following officers were elected: President, Fred Bowersock; vice president, Frank Hutchings; secretary, Gertrude Hunnicut; critic, F. W. Barnes.
Arrangements should be made for a grand jollification to-night. The appropriation for Prof. Snow's building marks the beginning of a new era in the history of our University. A meeting will be held in Prof. Miller's room at end of fourth hour to complete arrangements for a grand "blow out" to night. Everybody attend. Let every boy be down town by 8 o'clock to participate. Bonfires, etc., the order.
Jollification.
How great is Sullivan, Senior,
That people call him great,
is he like J. E. C., Senior.
His brain a hundred weight?
His brain, dear Prep, 'tis but the average
with maskink good and muml.
I'll just keep it simple and press
the green press.
We Are Happy!
'Tis not his brain that makes him great,
But the greatness of his gall.
