The Leading Social Event of the College Year, a Complete Success.
April 15th was the great day in the year's happenings-the day of the Junior Promenade, the occasion when the junior class of the University of Kansas receives and entertains the faculty and the senior class, if the sophomore class does not succeed in detaining the hosts or otherwise "breaking up" the party.
SOPHOMORE PLANS FRUSFRATED.
Meanwhile Bert Beach and Ernest Gentry, respectively vicepresident and treasurer of the junior class, had come out of hiding and Ray Barton, the president, was the only class officer missing. There was a general impression that he had been caught by the sophomores but it turned out that he had been successful in avoiding them and was only keeping out of trouble by absnting himself.
The plans of the class of '06 were thought to be so well laid this year and their threats against the junior class officers were so violent that those gentlemen in order to avoid being abducted by the sophomores went into hiding several days ago but they continued to hold communication with the various committees who were in charge of the preparations for the Prom. Thursday night, the freshmen class, the sworn friends of the juniors, guarded Pythian hall which was to be the scene of Friday's festivities and early Friday morning work began.
By noon Pythian hall had taken on a festive appearance and the juniors, well satisfied with their work, were feeling tolerably secure from sophomore invasion when the husky men of '06 crept down upon them. The door at the front of the stairs was battered in and a large delegation of sophomores rushed through. This assault was checked by the juniors and freshmen at the head of the stairs who not only stopped the advance but took a number of prisoners, bound them and held them in the hall the rest of the day. Other juniors and freshmen, from upstairs windows, turned the hose on the railers below, and by the time a complaint, from a bystander, had brought the police, only seven persistent sophomores could be found. They were locked up in jail until four o'clock, when they were fined and discharged.
concerting for a time but when they were returned later the happiness of the juniors was quite complete.
The sophomores who were held in the hall made several small disturbances but for the most part there were few disappointments for the juniors. The loss of programs which were stolen from the hall by some sophomore girls, was a trifle dis-
Pythian hall was never prettier than Friday night. The decorations were in evergreen and yellow shaded lights. The walls were well covered in evergreen and ropes of it from the corners of the room were caught in the center where there was hung a huge canopy made of evergreen and studded with yellow lights.
Opposite the entrance to the dancing hall the numerals of the entertaining class and the senior class were done in evergreen and lights. Cozy corners were arranged in the hall and couches, draperies and cushions lent a touch of grace and comfort.
The guests, more than one hundred were received by Messrs Ray Barton, Bert Beach, George Hansen and Ernest Gentry and Misses Grace Moses, Caroline Doubleday, Edith Levan and Eva Olin. The early part of the evening was taken up by a clever little farce under the direction of Prof. Frazier. The cast consisted of five members of the junior class, Bonnie Bell and Mabel Barber and Carl Riley, Charley Hine and Ray Taylor.
At ten o'clock the grand march of over 100 couples was led by Mr. Ray Barton and Miss Grace Moses. Programs, white booklets embossed with gold numerals '05 were given out by Mr. Kepner and Miss Gabrielson and music was furnished for a program of twenty-four dances by Zeiler's orchestra of Kansas City.
An elegant course luncheon was served in the balcony which was artistically decorated in yellow hangings and ropes of evergreen.
This year's Junior Promenade will long be remembered as one of the most delightful of University social affairs and the hosts are to be congratulated on the achievement of their plans and the success of their party. There was not less strife between the junior and sophomore classes than in former years, nor were the "Sophs" less pugilistic than formerly. There was quite as much sport about the game as usual, perhaps more, but this year it was the "Sophs" plans which miscarried and Juniors who did the crowing.
HISTORY CONFERENCE.
Prof, Wilcox spoke Thursday evening before the history conference upon "Archaeology and its Relation to History." He illustrated his lecture with lantern slides. He spoke chiefly upon the way in which Archaeology has assisted in the study and enlightening of ancient history. As concrete examples of the historical benefit obtained from Archaeological research he described the investigations that have been made among the ruins of ancient Greek cities, Troy, Mycenae and Crete.
ATHLETICS.
Washburn Takes a Game—More Accommodations for Visiting Teams.
Washburn defeated K. U. Wednesday by a score of 9 to 6.
NO.27.
The game was a poor exhibition of baseball, both teams making errors and playing loose fielding games: For Kansas Allen pitched a very nice game fanning seven men and allowing seven hits, and had he had good support should have won the game.
Johnson and Henry, catcher and first base for K. U., held down their respective positions in good style, though the rest of the infield seemed to go up in the air at the most critical stages of the game.
In the hitting department K. U. showed up as well as Washburn and the K. U. boys will give a good account of themselves in that department before the end of the year.
The features of the game were the pitching of Allen for K. U. and Hanska of Topeka and Griggs hitting.
Arthur Griggs who played football with K. U. this fall is playing second and pitching for Washburn at present. His home run, which was one of the longest hits ever made on McCook Field, in the first inning and his two bagger in the 3rd were large factors in Washburn's victory.
Mgr. Plank has had a new diamond located bringing the 3rd base near the bleachers making them a fine place from which to view the games. The crowd will be made to stay withid certain bounds keeping the base lines clear and helping the players to a great extent. Benches will be provided for both the home and every accommodation made.
The K. U. Base Ball team is playing the State Normal school at Emporia today. The practice of the K. U. team for the last few days has been better and it is expected that the boys will show up better today than they did in the Wash hburn game.
INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS.
The University of Chicago reports that its experiments in segregating the sexes has been an entire success. Better work and a greater amount of the same has been accomplished by both male and female classes than under the co-educational system.
A chime of bells has been placed in Mitchell tower at the University of Chicago, as a memorial to the late Alice Freeman Palmer.
Men talk in their sleep because its the only change they get.
The other morning a teacher at Central School found this note on her desk; "Dear Teacher; I will be back soon plese kepe my sect for me. Mother is dying as fast as she can. To oblidge, Maggie."
Some people are never satisfied. The other day a woman returned a thermometer to a store because she said that one day it said one thing and the next day another.
According to the Philadelphia Press an "oscillating movement" is the movement of two pairs of lips into close conjunction.
Eleven courses in forestry are offered by the University of Michigan for its students the current year, as against six last year, and none the year before. Forestry is one of the subjects that was chosed for special consideration when, a few years ago, it was decided to broaden the scope of the literary department by giving more courses that had a direct bearing upon every day problems.
It appers that the Olympic games have been revived with some degree of permanence. At the games held at Athens in 1896 the King of Greece was personally interested. The games held at Paris in 1900 were given under the patronage of the highest officials of the French government. President Roosevelt will be the honorary president of the games held in St. Louis in 1904. Continued on page 2.
