Puff Pant Prom Displays Diverse Styles for Men
Masculine Intruder Finds
Husky Gang of Stags;
Says Party Was
“All Wet”
"Pitch him and see if he's real!" The unlucky "he" who turned out to be real, was enthusiastically, violently and hurriedly escorted from the gymnasium last night by several warranted "stags" at the Puff Pant Furn. who dragged the culprit into the lower regions of the gymnasium and dumped him in a pool of the swimming pool as a just reward for his evening's entertainment.
No.107
The few other men who were present to provide music were regarded simply as "decorations," if men can be termed decorative. The orchestra was a very submissive group of musicians, sat at with downward eyes, turning only occasionally glances at the dancers. Chapenets were provided for their protection.
Wide Variety of Men
Her dress varied from the most formal to the last word in informality. Styles ranged from "what the young man should wear" to what he wouldn't dare wear and survive in modern society. Mastaches on the stronger sex are evidently much admired for "four out of five had 'em."
Never has a more widely assorted body of "men" graced the floor of Robinson gymnasium. There were tall, skinny men, thick narrow and indifferent ones.
Ridgway the Best Man
The grand march presented a panorama startling to view. The "men" seemed big and strong with their sweet and clinging dates upon their arms. This array swept by the judges that the best looking man and couple might be picked.
Louise Ridgway, fa'28, wearing a swallow tail formal dress suit, won first honors. Mary Cubbing, c'28, the winner of her grandan, ed'28, were adjudged the best couple. Corbin hall annex, with 10 of its 11 members present, won first honors.
Stag Line Complete
FOUR PAGES
The party was complete in every detail, even to the stag line which "carried on something awful" at times. These stage will forever sympathize with the man who tries to locate a certain girl at a big party.
Beautifully decorated booths for dispensing "soda pop" and Eskimo pies are doing a rushing business at the corners of the floor. Hears dangling sounds and heart-shaped programs suggested the presence of St. Valentine's day.
Bill Would Protect Trees
The women maintain that it was strictly their party but some two hundred men are firm in the belief that "the man always pays." They spent the perfectly good evening at home in batrobes or in bed while their clothes enveloped some sweet young thing at the party.
Party Not Extremely Wet
Only one part of the dance was "wet" and that was the bold young man who was playing pool despite his argument that could not swim. Another young man, masquerading as a woman, managed to fool those present and remained the major part of the evening. He is to be found at a party.
Measure Provides a Tax Levy for Its Execution
A bill drawn up by the League of Kansas Municipalities in relation to forestry was scheduled to be introduced in the house of representatives at today's session of the state legislature. D. Smith, consultant of the league.
The proposed bill provides that the governing body of cities of less than 65,000 inhabitants be empowered to make decisions on such lands. Money for the execution of its provisions is to be raised by a levy not to exceed one mill on each dollar of taxable property, and governing body of the cities affected.
The proposal is of especial interest to the city of Lawrence, according to Mr. Smith. The program of forestry improvement planned by S. J. Hunter will be effected by the reception of the bill in the legislature.

University Campaign for Campus Cleaning Awaits Appropriation
Plans for General Improvement of Potter's Lake Vicinity to Be Made
"A well organized spring clean-up plan has been worked out for the University and will be announced as soon as the legislature passes judgment upon it and appropriates funds for it." according to H. H. Ball, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Various spots about the campus are available on the ground will permit, flower beds and shrubbery will be planted, and the shed back of the engineering building will be torn down.
Mr. Ball has a special plan for the improvement of the grove back of the Chemistry building, and in the general vicinity of Potter lake. The plants are in the hands of Hare and Hare, landscape architects. Walks or climber paths are to be placed throughout the grove, connecting with those alpine landscapes. A small mountain linestone, covered at the base with mass, and made to appear as natural as possible, is to be placed in the grove.
Improvements on Potter lake have been planned for some time, but nothing has been done. Both Mr. Ball and Forrest Allen, director of athletics of the University, are in favor of cementing the basin portion of the lake with sand to allow water which would be passed through a chlorinator, to the lake. The pipes and lighting facilities have been installed for sometime. It is not known when these plants will be carried out. "Potter lake is an ideal location for swimming purposes," said Mr. Ball.
Dr. Helson Will Lecture
First of a Series to Be Given Before Education Club
"Recent Gestalt Psychology" will be the subject of the lecture which Dr. H, Helion, assistant professor of psychology, will deliver before graduate students in education on Wednesday, Feb. 16, in the women's rest room of central Administration building, at 4 p. m.
According to Prof. F. A. Rielclet of the School of Education, this is the first of a series of lectures which will be presented during the coming semester; but other students are welcome. The object of the series of lectures will be to present various phases of new lines of thinking. Doctor Iulian's lecture will present new lines of thought in the field of psychology, the new theory having been given considerable impets especially in Germany. Gesualdo will discuss a figuration. In commenting on the theory Dr. H. Helson said;
“Here we begin with an entirely new set of assumptions; an entirely different point of view. This new point of view has already had some unexpected and fruitful results in experimental psychology proper. The research results, however, have been also applied to problems of a more general interest such as the behavior of animals, learning, the world of the child, and the defects of the abnormal. In other words, the new theories are not only of theoretical importance to the psychologist, but of practical importance to those who use psychology for whatever help it can give them.”

(Special to the Kansas)
Grimell, Iowa, Feb. 12—In a rough and tumble game, the Grimell Pioneers here tonight, 41 to 20. "We chalked for each one," classified their smaller opponents throughout the entire contest and at no time did the Pioneers cope with the flashy offense and defense of the Kansans.
Grinnell scored only one field goal during the first half, when Fail was able to sink a basket. The half ended 25 to 8 with Kansas on the long end of the score. The Jawhawkers seemed to have an unnering eye for the ball in the second half, and 3 before Grinnell scored to offer no resistance.
Newland, Hill and Burdon were scoring from all angles of the court and the Grimnoll players were finding it difficult to reach the smooth-running Kansas offense.
Grinnell Unable to Stop Offense
Grinnell Unable to Stop Offense
The same combination—Newland,
Hill, Petersen, Jeffrey and Burton—
which started the game also took
the floor at the beginning of the second
game. And since the first play was put out of the game just before
the end of the half with four personal
fouls marked against him.
Newland and Hill continued hitting the basket and Grimmell made a determined effort to stop the Crimson and Blue offense. However, the Players were only able to run their total up to 12 points during their brief rally. All of the Kansas reserves played during the game and it was also the team that faced Grimmell during the last 10 minutes of play.
Doctor Allen started Newlind and Hill at far forward in place of Captain Schmidt and Gordon. The combination worked well and Grinnell was able to stop the Jahayher scoring aces. Grinnell used a man-to-man defense and the game was married with much rough play on account of it. At the beginning of the second half, the team fell short and fought desperately to turn the tie of defeat, but they were unable to do so.
