320 THE CORRIDORS. —Soda water at Straffon's. The medics are experimenting on "dorgs;" so are the Betas. -Joe Curry made a flying trip to Kansas City last week to meet a friend. The reception the Betas were to give the I.C.s was postponed on account of the weather. —The I. C.s enjoyed a visit last week from their railroad friend, E. J. Wheeler, of Topeka. Dean invested in a white derby before leaving for Iowa. This looks bad for Courier dividends. The State Oratorical Association cleared one hundred and fifty dollars by their Lawrence contest.

The Oreads elected the following officers last Friday: President, Glen Miller; vice president, Miss Jennie Oliver; secretary, Miss Luella Moore; critic, H. E. Riggs. Everything was lovely. —It has been the custom of the Orophilians to give a reception to their senior members, but nothing has been said with reference to such an entertainment yet this year.
