CARRANZA IS FACING DIVISION OF MEXICO
State Troops of Sonora Take Over Government Buildings, Says Report
Douglas, Ariz., April 12—Sonora troops are encroached outside Agua Prieta following the seizure of federal customs houses by the republic of Sonora, Nogales, Naco and Agua Prieta according to reports.
The action of the state of Sonora in severing relations with the Carranza government because General Carranza is said to have sent General Patronato with an army force caused widespread for war along the border today.
General Tino, commanding state troops, in an order today said the federal government could not bring an effective force into Sonora unless he is permitted to bring troops thru the United States.
"Ideal Date" Changes As Men Approach A.B
Meanwhile the Sonora troops declare they have not seceded from Mexico but are merely opposing the Carranza government.
There are over two-thousand men enrolled n the University, consequently there are just that many different ideas as to what the women enjoy as amusement during their leisure hours.
The Freshman has an idea all of his own, he thinks the average keen women should be wild about he and his high school jokes cracked in a most boisterous manner. If the freshman comes from a small town his date should like to trump over the hills all day in search of rabbits.
T. Sophomore comes back from his first summer at home, resolved that he will be a bear among women, he will propose a cane trip up the river. He swears his girl should like candy and uses a box of candy. No woman should even think of wanting to keep the date rule.
The Junior has the idea that he is going to find his ideal his soul mate, he dates steady and has the privilege of dating anyone he chooses but the woman must remain true to him, if he do not care to go to a certain dance she should not want to go. And the women who do not date, either because they do not have the chance or do not care to, the later class will go to a special room like to sit in some one class room and talk about the awful class who go out every night with a different man.
The senior has usually found his partner who is willing to take a long break and then break the date rule every night. Now this is not meant to infer that no one but Seniors break the date rule. The Senior girl is in an early half, half was marked with them.
Most men think women do not care how they anuse themselves but are only waiting for some bright young fellow to suggest anything. The average male student is surprised beyond recovery if the usual woman expresses the desire to follow the base course in school and shows she really knows the pitchers box is in the diamond instead of just behind second base.
The one great question that the University man has been unable to solve throughout the ages is whether the women of the Hill really like to anume themselves with the men or whether they do it for want of something better to anume themselves with.
Chi Omega entertained. Mr. Bowman was host for the party. Afterwards the entertainment took the form of a novel kiss—Daily Northwest.

AMUSEMENT SEEKERS NEED MORE DIVERSIONS
Movies and Pool Halls Will Not Take Care of Week-End Crowds
More and better amusement facilities are called for by University people and Lawrence citizens at large, to say nothing of the farmers who make good use of the East side pool hall on Friday and Saturday nights.
End Crowds
In the good old days gone by, only Doug or Mary or Marie could bring to the ticket window of the Varsity a line long enough to reach the sidewalk; now every Friday and Saturday, and many other nights, find long lines of fans waiting many minutes for a chance to look vainly for a seat back of the fifth row. The second show in the program day was that of the doctors, who didn't stay up until the witching hour; now, Von has to have a whole set of clean glasses ready to take care of the 11:30 o'clock trade.
Time was, and that within read,
memory of the mere junior, when
Saturday night alone found the pool
halls crowded—and it cost only two
and a half per then. Now, at five
cents a stick, the thirty-one some
pool tables in the town are filled every
noon, afternoon, and evening. Even
the farmers have caught the fever.
Farmers who visit East side halls crowded with sons of toll every Saturday; but now the producers abandon the cows and chickens twice a week and settle district champions Fridays and Saturdays.
Even the boatmen feels the amusement erase. For years the stock of boats, supplemented by private canoes, has adequately taken care of lifers of aquencies until June; but even this old age is hard to come by genius to keep boats for all comers.
psychological experts are puzzled to the exact extent this demand for amusement may be carried. May we expect tiddledywink parlorists in the near future? Would a parcheesi hall pay? Will we be driven to the establishment of chequer and cheese clubs? Or will we find amusement to find amusement in rhetoric, entertainment in mathematics, and good in everything?
Just a Line or So
The Phi Kappa Psi gave their house warming and reception Friday afternoon from 2 o'clock to 6 o'clock. Over 600 guests were present. Light refreshments wore served and music was furnished by Sheofaltall's orchestra. Many presents, such as silver pictures, and checks were received.

According to the theory advanced in the Extemple Speaking class yesterday by Mr. Ackright, a woman has every chance as a public speaker. The theory is that to win your audience, you must flatter them. This can be done by facial expression and a scientific movement of the eyes.
"Hump, what chance has a mere man got any way when a woman is around," one man in the class remarked.
Said the wee small thing, "Oh Girls! He's so tall. I can barely scratch my nose on his tiepin."
One of the most inquisitive persons on the Hill, is a prof, according to one member of the Extemp class. A person can not even enjoy a good yawn and a stretch. Unless the profs ask him what he wants.
This one member was interrupted in his usual series of stretches the other morning when he was waving and they stopped. The sir he飞. "Do you have a question?"
When he said that he did not the prof. said "I beg your pardon sir, iit I interrupted you. Just continue when you left off."
One P. B. K. youth said perhaps the most interesting study was his library study—of human nature.
One of the most attractive damselflies on the hill, when asked what she thought of Phi Beta Kappa, said, "Well, I thought they all studied harrow and were so stiff, but they aren't all that way at all. They have all the amusements ordinary people have. Why, I really do not think it made any difference with my pleasure, do you?"
So it is very evident that the Phil Beta Kappas enjoy the pleasures of life too, each in his own way.

MUCH VARIETY FOUND IN AMUSEMENT LIST
athletic Contests Draw Largest Crowds; Karnival and Dances Second
"Students Always Going"
One-Eighth of Enrollment is Average Crowd; One-Half A Rarity
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." In which case there is no need for students at the University of Kansas to be "Joul". Attendance at the various diversions, however, shows that all tastes are not alike, and that always there are enough games. Some attempts at upholding the reputation of the class the following day. Athletic contests draw the largest crowds. At the football games it is estimated that from 1,560 to 2,000 students are in average attendance. Basketball games have crowds of from 600 to 800 while track and baseball have about 408. With stray exhibitions such as the Olympic games, gymnastics, volleyball and soccer May fete, there is some diversion almost every week that the student who enjoys athletic events may attend.
Social affairs are not lacking. At least once a month there is an all University dance. In the fall, the university dance crowds the floor of the gym. A conservative estimate said there were 400 at these functions. Later the Freshman Mixer, Pencl Pash, Soph Hop, Junior Prom, and Senior Prom all attends. Saturday nights the F. A. U. hall is usually crowded with from 75 to 100 couples. Several times during the year there are midday dances which draw about 30 students. In between there are 30 dance private dances complete the program.
Dances are by no means the only social function. Each year the Follies and W. A. A. circus have at least a thousand in attendance. This year nearly 2,000 students attended the Karnival. Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. furnish frequent parties and mats, and in the spring and fall they give picnics and hikes, at which they sing. The recent invitation of these organizations; the noonday lunches have brought from 200 to 300 students together once a week. The various churches give social functions thru their young people societies. At the Westminster Hall parties, held every month, from 150 to 200 students find entertainment. Pie suppers, carnivals

WOMEN IN '17 CLASS STAY WITH ATHLETICS
University Training Prepared Them for Life of Service
Do women who are prominent in athletics in the University continue their work after graduation? Do the women enter athletics merely for recreation or do they take it in preparation for work after they leave school? Do women have to these questions is the work of the senior basket ball team of 1917.
This team was a champion team its entire four years, and was never detected on this court. The personnel of the team was Margaret Holder, Dorothy Tucker, Freda Daum, Joyce Brown Tranl Mottall, Dorothy诺菲eld, Nell Leibengo, Lucie Sterling, and Britt Endoatttow,
Seven of these nine women are now in athletic work three years after their graduation. Three of them brought teams to the last tournament here and three others were officials in the tournament. The Ottawa team which won first place in the tournament was named the Thunder. Quedferall and Ruth Endacott-Crown were referees and Lucie Sterling was also an official. The Burlington team which entered the semi-finals was coached by Nell Leibengow. Joyce Brown, who is coaching in Chanute, also entered her team. Margaret Hodder is teaching in a private school in Washington, and also coaching basketball running up in the tournament was coached by Laí Lanaan, 9, who was also prominent in athletics when she was in school.
This is an example of what women are doing as a result of their athletic work in the University.
