SENIORS MEET AND PROCEED TO HAVE A LIVELY TIME ELECTING MANAGER OF THE PLAY. SENIOR ELECTION. THE BALLOT BOX IS STUFFED. A NEW COUNT DEMANDED AND NEW METHODS OF VOTING RESORTED TO. GIRLS ELECT The Boys of the Class Almost a Unit for Geo Barcus, but Were Outnumbered By the Girls, Three to One. For some time the question of the Senior play has been under consideration by the members of the Senior class, but very little interest had been manifested until Thursday morning. The bulletin announcing the meeting of the Seniors for Thursday noon, concentrated the attention in the management of the play. Until Thursday morning, the only candidate in the field was Geo Barcus. It was known among his friends that he had been connected with many college enterprises of a business nature, and had been unusually successful in all. He was therefore urged to announce himself as Senior play manager. It looked for a while as if he would have a clear field but Thursday morning a surprise was spring. All morning it was noticed that the girls were collecting in knots and groups and carrying on lively discussions. It was first reported that they had a girl candidate. When it was explained to the manager had charge of the business of the play and was supposed to be selected for business ability and experience they withdrew the girl and put up Mr. Lander. They also decided to push through the committee on writing the play. At 12 o'clock the south end of the hall was crowded with seniors. All were talking at once, discussing, and electioneering. It was some time before the president was able to bring the class to order in room fourteen. Over half were unable to obtain seats and were lined up at both ends of the room. It was proposed that the class proceed to elect the manager and Mr. Barkus and Mr. Lander were nominated. Miss Barth then made a motion that an auditing committee of three, with the treasurer as chairman, be appointed to watch over the finance of the play, and investigate the accounts of the manager. The motion was [carried]. Miss Manley and Walter Hall were elected as members of the auditing committee. The president then instructed the class to prepare ballots for manager and appointed teller. pounder A motion was,then made that all should be counted. It was not carried, but those present were counted. The first ballot gave Mr. Lander a majority; 119 ballots were cast and the number in the room was reported to be 105. A recount was demanded and ballots were prepared a second time. It was now crowding the noon hour rather closely and a motion was made to adjourn but lost. A different method of voting in the crowded room was demanded, and proposals were made from all parts of the room at once without addressing the chair. In the confusion a suggestion was made that all gather in one end of the room and pass to the other end, depositing the ballots one at a time with the tellers. This plan was carried out. The recount still resulted in Mr. Lander's majority and he was declared elected. The Students Herald from Manhattan, says football has taken a boom.

The state convention will be held at Topeka this year, from Thursday to Sunday evening, October 25 to 29. Misses Barnes, Conde and Lyons, officers of the national organization, will be among the speakers. As each of them has been heard in Lawrence, the girls can more fully appreciate how interesting and helpful the convention will be. Many are already planning to attend, and a large delegation from Lawrence is expected. F. O HANSON, Story J. H. FELGAR, Treas. P. O. HANSON, Sec'y. K. H. TANGEMANN, Pres Finance meetings are not generally considered interesting, but the one held Wednesday afternoon was certainly an exception. Miss Woodin, the association treasurer, was leader. Prof. Hopkins spoke of the value of systematic and generous giving, after which the girls were asked to pledge the amount they wished to give toward the $700 necessary to meet the expenses of the year. A generous response was obtained. A violin solo by Miss McCrory added greatly to the interest of the meeting. The Freshmen were entertained by the two associations at the Y. M. C. A. house last Friday night. A good time? Of course! This is fine weather for the nutting parties the social committee is planning. Arthur Noble went to Wichita this week to attend the street fair.

The offering at the opera house will be David Higgins' beautiful southern play "At Piney Ridge." [The locale of the play is] amid the rugged mountains of Tennessee, and the atmospheric possibilities of this out of the way section are said to be taken full advantage of by Mr. Higgins in the action of his drama. The roughness of the mountain life with all its undersweep of deep humanity its simplest yet;rest moods are depicted with a great deal of fidelity and keen insight into the true nature of the people of this out of the way section. The plot is said to be rich, strong and reasonable. A mountaineer, who is gentler and better than his environment, seeks the station his merit and manhood would assign him. Just as he is reaching the goal of his ambition he is charged with possessing Negro blood. A chain of evidence is constructed that seems impossible of breaking. From this deep plot a strikingly powerful story is woven. It is sustained until the denouement is reached, and reveals visions of love, plots and counter plots, and vivid shades of human passions. All this is centered amid scenes of pastoralsimplicity the very air being laden with homelike beauty. The eye takes in the abode of the rose, the honeysuckle and trailing vines. One can almost hear the birds carol in these mountain dells and fast-nesses. The characters are said to be like the scenes, simple, honest, trust loving and rugged. The producing company is said to be a powerful one and the scenery and electrical effects novel and beautiful LITERARY SOCIETIES Burke Literary opened last Saturday evening with a good time.
