THE CORRIDORS.

—Something "dropped" at the Oread's last Friday.
-A Phi Gamma Delta orchestra has been organized.
The Olathe boys probably had a nI.C.e time last Saturday.
Some of the boys are getting their hand in at politics by work at the primaries.
The first choice of the committee to procure a June orator is Hon. Roscoe Conkling.
After their meeting last Friday the Germans went out on a serenade. One citizen was frightened nearly to death by their mystical miculings.
The custom of one paper copying the enterprise of another paper brings to mind "Ben" Butler's old couplet:
"Apee here and apee there,
And apee the style of the Courier."
--Last Thursday two bold cavaliers attempted to hold their umbrellas over the same fair damsel. A sanguinary encounter is feared, but if they will fight it out according to Marquis of Queensbury rules our religious editor will hold the stakes—that is, the girl. Don't tell F.C.T.
— Alas, 'tis true. The class of'84, with its usual disregard for the feelings of friends, has ordered samples of plug hats. If the hats are not too high and the pocketbooks are not too low, we may yet see the unwonted vision of the Seniors with new hats, and plugs at that. It will next be in order for '84 to wear canes and tight pants and graduate into full-fledged dudes.
—Last Friday the train for Olathe was boarded by about fifteen members of the I. C. sorosis, for a visit to the homes of their new members, Misses Collins, Dow and Hubbard. They returned Snnday after a "too too" time, much to the delight of certain of our boys, who feared for the loss of their fair ones.
The following resolutions were unanimously carried in the Oread society at their last meeting:
WHEREAS, The so-called representatives of Oread society, in the Oratorical Association, were elected without consultation with this society; and
WHEREAS, The persons thus elected represent but a small portion of this society; therefore,
Resolved, That it is the sense of Oread society that it is not rightly represented in the Oratorical Association; and
Resolved, That this society declines to be represented by these persons, and calls upon the Oratorical Association to elect more fitting representatives.
Caldwell, business manager of the Review, was beaten for delegate to the Repubcan convention, but Dean, business manager of the Courier, was elected a delegate from Clinton. Moral: Courier always ahead.
OROPHILIAN It should be the aim of every student to obtain as broad an intellectual and social culture as possible. One of the best aids to this is found in the well conducted literary society. By a well conducted society we do not indicate one whose energies are spent in congratulating a particular friend upon his success in not failing to do his duty in clapping his hands until they are sore applauding some fraternal satellite, or arraying hostile forces on some hair splitting distinction; but we do mean a society whose endeavor shall be to draw out the best efforts of every member. This latter we claim for the Orophilian, and invite every student to examine for himself. The following officers were elected at the last meeting: President, Mr. Caldwell; secretary, Miss Gilmore; treasurer, Mr. Johnson; assistant-treasurer, S.M.Cook; critic, Miss Hubbard; chorister, Mr.Findley; pianist, Miss Dow; chaplain, Mr. Orsley; reporter, Mr. Mahan; janitor,Mr.Doran; executive committee, Messrs. Leach, Curry and Miss Gilmore. REPORTER.
