MAKE ALL-UNIVERSITY PARTY ANNUAL EVENT?
Mrs. Brown is Already Plan ning More Elaborate Affair Next Year
Most Beautiful Ever Given at University, Says Chancellor Frank
1,500 THERE—GYM CROWDED
Strong
"That the University of Kansas will make the all University party at annual affair, is my earnest desire," said Mrs. Eustace Brown, this morning. "I hope to give one next year, with a favor cotillion involving many more dancers, as the feature of the evening, in place of the minuet of this year. I am planning to give two parties next year the first in the fall semester, the second one to be the annual colonial party."
"Fine" Says Chancellor
"fine" is the way Chancellor Strong expressed himself when asked what he thought of the all-University party Saturday night.
"It was one of the most beautiful parties that I have ever seen given here," he continued, "everyone displayed the right spirit; fraternity and non-fraternity men were there and sorority and non-sorority women took
Chancellor Strong estimated the attendance at fifteen hundred. The big gymnasium floor was crowded and the balconies were well filled.
"Everybody in on the grand march," cried the Chancellor as he headed the line of silver-buckled, two-horned colonial party Saturday night. In spite of the fact that he muffed his signals once, half a thousand students in party dresses and best suits, entered and around the floor of the Gymnasium.
The march came after every one had gone down the receiving line, had shaken hands with every one he knew and a lot he didn't know, and had hob-nobbed generally with his hardest professor or his dultest student (carefully avoiding "shop" by discussing the decorations, music and so forth).
The old gym certainly was arrayed in a manner that it had never known before. Probably Dr. Goetz and Mr. Lorenz rubbed their eyes several times while they wondered where were the same place which they taught, the black played under the black white columned pergola, with its latticed rooftow entwined with purple wistaria vines, and roses and daises fencing in the musicians. All along the sides, too, were bowers, vine-clad and partly invisible.
The punch bowls were visited frequently in the course of the evening by thirsty people. There were three of them, and the girls serving were pretty, not to mention the good flavor of the beverage itself.
The minuet was enough to make our colonial grandmothers turn over in their graves and smile approvingly. Ordinarily the costumes of the women are bright blue, this time the men's, too, should come in for a large share of comment. In red, white, or flowered brocades they held their own with the hoop skirts, and flowing gowns of the girls. Even to slippers we wore outside by the women. And they danced beautifully, with all the grace and charm of a century ago.
Chancellor Had to Duck
After the minutet the orchestra played a slow waltz for the faculty people, and they seized their opportunity. Then the real hesitation, canters, and one-steps began. The most fun of all was the Virginia reel. There were several sets formed, to the audience had difficulty trying. to watch them until the moment they forgot his high station until he tried to duck under the low arches formed by some of the shorter members.

ALL SURROUNDINGS SHOULD HAVE BEAUTY
Landscape Architect Says Beautiful in Environment is as Necessary as Sanitation
"When improving university grounds built without any general plan, care should be taken in the alterations not to demolish old buildings rich in historical associations Neither should the characteristic natural features of the sight be oblit erated.
"It is as necessary for mental and spiritual health that students live in beautiful surroundings as it is for their bodily health that they dwell under sanitary conditions," said Ernest E. Walker, landscape architect, before the Architectural Engineer at Hall. Friday afternoon, in discussing the grouping and arrangements of buildings and landscape development.
Do Not Destroy Old Buildings
Mr. Walker illustrated his remarks with lantern slides of the Universities of Berlin, Birmingham, Oxford, Cairo, Tokyo, and the leading educational institutions in America. He showed how the sharp angles had been overcome by trees and bushes, how universities were planned for hilly grounds, and some for the flat even surfaces.
ITTAAI LUKE GIVES U.
COLLECTION OF ROCKS
W. H. Tuenhoel, professor of geology, received a letter last week from Ittai A. Luke, who was graduated from K. U. last spring, stating that he was shipping the department of geology a collection of rocks which he brought with him from Iceland and Hammerfest, Norway on his recent excursions to that region in connection with government research work. The shipment was sent from New York and should reach here in a few days.
Lake will soon sail for southern waters on the same kind of an expedition as his trip into the northern region.

sity Saturday night. We had planned to show him a building's classrooms put out of commission for three days in order to rearrange the building for an All-University gathering.
Again this week when Mr. Mott addresses the students, the Gymnasium must be dismantled, workmen must haul chairs, erect a platform, and physical training classes take a holiday until the Gymnasium can be dismantled again, the chairs hauled out, and the apparatus replaced.

replaced.
We planned to ask the Governor: "Is there a business man or a farmer in the state of Kansas, Mr. Governor, who would run his business in that way?"
Then we had planned to have members of a class that meets at a Professor's home, because of lack of class-room facilities, ask the Governor if he thought any business man or farmer in Kansas would call that good economy.

can call that good economy. Then there is a class of girls who are obliged to climb five stories to work long laboratory hours in a low attic, stuffy and poorly-lithed, who were anxious to ask the Governor a question.
Another class which meets at night because of lack of room also had a question.
And so on.
And so on. We wanted to believe that the legislature realizes our crowded condition that we have been growing at the rate of 200 a year, and no relief for four years. We wanted to tell the Governor so he could tell the legislature.
And finally we wanted to express the sickly fear that if this legislature doesn't give us a building because the last legislature didn't give us one, we'll never be able to compete with other state universities in the matter of necessary equipment.
Help Us to Help Ourselves'
Now that the Board of Administration assures us that it would be only too glad to furnish the students of the University of Kansas with the same economical board that is furnished the other state institutions, saving K. U. student $1,000 a week, if—

LOOKS DARK FOR K. U.
IN DUAL TRACK MEET
Coach Hamilton Says K. C A.C.Meet Revealed Weakness of Jayhawker Squad
"The meet showed Missouri strong and Kansas fearfully weak," said Coach W. O. Hamilton this morning, in commenting on the K. C. A. meet. "We are poor in the spines and the hurdles, but we will be ready to help for the next two weeks, we will still have a fighting chance at Missouri on March 12.
"As near as I can figure, the coming dual meet with Missouri is going to be the closest in the history of the two schools. We need a sprinter badly, though, and I am doing my best to discover one. If some school in here who wanted out for track came in, I wish he'd let me about it. We will work desperately against the Tigers, and I think we have a chance to win."
Lawrence Winn, freshman, competing unattached, was injured while pole vaulting, and his right ankle seriously dislocated. The ligaments were strained and the dislocation is a bad one. Winn is improving slowly at the University hospital at Rosedale.
