WOMEN'S PROM WILL BE NO SLOW AFFAIR
Lulu Fado and Fox Trot to be Danced in Gym Tomorrow Afternoon
WON'T LET THE MEN ATTEND
Fancy Hoopskirts and Pantallettes Are Not for Masculine
There will be nothing slow or oldmaidish about the Women's Prom at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. No two steps or waltzes or other dances of that sort will be the main features, although these will be tolerated if any one cares to do them. For a dress-suits thinking that this will be a good time to wear out old party dresses. The women who are to take the place of men and escort the other women there not to wear dress-suits as the rumor got out but their very prettiest, newest party dresses. And the women who are to play their own part are to curtsey, dance and dress their best, just as though they were going to the Junior Prom or the Law Scrim with their best men.
Besides the regular dances, the music of which is to be played by a first-rate orchestra, there will be special features. Some of the dancers may Hill will be picked up uniform before the others. Two will show the latest steps in the froxtrot. Then, after they have danced a minute or two alone the rest of the women will be given a chance to show their imitative powers. Likewise the music of the John Fado, the Pavlova Gavotte, and one of the other new one-step.
To Demonstrate the Lulu Fado
Hoodskirts and Pantalettes Also
Besides these new dances there will be a return to the old Greek steps. Twelve women, dressed in Grecian attire, made their fashion of two-thousand years ago.
One of the most interesting features of the afternoon will be a minuet in a costume of hoop-skirts, pantallettes, and all the other fashionable touches of the times of our great-greatmothers. This minuet will be danced by two of our favorite faculty women.
Crabbe and Granger eliminated
Mordred and Fast in the first series of

Painting Maps in Haworth
Players are asked to arrange with their opponents not to make their appearance if they find it impossible to attend. This is done so as not to conflict with the rule regarding the forfeiture of a game if only one player appears on the field or allows a team to play three days in which to make the rearrange match, after which time the players are declared out of the tournament.
A scaffold has been erected in the hallway on the second floor of Haworth Hall and the department of geology is making maps of the United States on the east and west walls. On the east wall will be a map of Kansas and above it will be a geological cross-section of the state. The map of the United States will be a geological cross section of the United States above it.

No Paper Tomorrow The Kansan will print no paper to-morrow.
SIX HUNDRED MEN TO
TALK TO MOTT WORKERS
More than 600 men will interview John R. Mott and his assistants during the week they are at the University. These interviews will be held at all hours of the day and continue into the night in order to give all University men a chance to talk with the visitors.
Sixty-one general meetings have been arranged for already, besides twenty conferences to be held in fraternity houses.
HARRY KEMP
IS A HUSBAND NOW
And a Hard-Working Reporter Also
Harry Kemp, formerly itinerant student at K. U., has renounced the cinder path and the box car Pullman and taken unto himself a wife, Mary Pyne, according to dispatches recently printed in Eastern papers.
Not only has Harry taken a wife, but a job likewise. He is now reporter on the New York World. His "heat" is confined to the job of a university administrator in New York for the accommodation of the migratory workers of the world.
When there isn't any news, Kemp makes an extemporaneous speech from the top side of a soap box and the bottom side of a coffin. "The delight of every newsgatherer,"
The Mill Tax
To remove the state educational institutions from the field of political strife and to put them on a better business basis is the purpose of the resolution introduced into both houses of the legislature this week calling for the submission to the people of a constitution condemning providing permanent income for the big schools.
If the resolution carries and the people approve it at the election in 1916, the succeeding legislature will levy a millage tax for the support of educational institutions in effect thereafter unless changed by a later legislature. As the valuation of the property in the state increases, the amount going for education would increase automatically. The administration of the schools could be carried out more taxes since a certain definite income would be in prospect.
This same system is now in use in fourteen states and adds greatly to the efficiency of the schools. It does not increase taxes. The schools get no more than they would get under any other law, because they carefully scrutinized as before. But they give better service to the state, because they can look ahead and make plans such as every great business must make. No political party is tempted to try for political advantages by being a hard worker in schools while saving perhaps ten cents to the man who pays taxes on ten thousand dollars.
PROF. HARRINGTON TO
HAVE BOOK PUBLISHI
Ginn and Company, of Boston, has accepted for immediate publication a new book, "Typical Newspaper Stories," of which Prof. H. F. Harrington, is the author. This book will be a companion volume to "Essential in the History of Literature" intended as a supplementary work to elementary texts and class-room lectures.
The book is divided into nine sections considering the personal item; the short news-story; the news-story treated by the laboratory method; human interest stories; feature stories, illustrated by examples of great stories; the wire story, with examples of the telegraph story; from coast to coast; examples of great crowds and the moods dominating them interviews; war stories.
Each kind of newspaper writing discussed is illustrated by specimens. The book will take the place of the "morgue" for students and offers an analytical study not given in the average text.
A brief introduction to "Typical Newspaper Stories" has been written by Prof. Merle Thorpe, head of the Journalism. The book contains 400 pages.
No Women's Party Thursday
The University Women's Association party which was to have been held this afternoon at the home of Dr. Eugene Postponed indefinitely on account of its death of Dean F. Co. Marvin.

AGGIE TRACK ARTISTS
PROMISE SURPRISES
Manhattan Razers Expect to Show Well Against K. U. Monday
Special to the Kansan.
Manhattan, Kan., Feb. 10- The Kansas Aggies promise surprises on the indoor boards this season accorded to their success during the past month. In Frizzell, high jumper, and Weaver, middle distance runner, the Merner squad has two of the most consistent performers in their respective events in the con-
`rizzell` has been clearing the bamboo at better than 5 feet 10 inches with regularity and Weaver has stepped the mile in 4:38 twice this season. In the quarter mile sprint, the distance is 27.5 seconds, associating the distance in 54 2-5 seconds. Holroyd is rapidly developing into a dependable 55-second 440 mar
Over the 30-yard sprint distance, three men, Holboyd, Crumbracker, and Osborne, have made 3 2-5 seconds in the trials. Coach Mernier expects this time to be good enough to win points for the Aggies in every meet and if, so, the loss of P. R. Helt, last year's sprint crack will not be noticed.
With Welsh and Frizzell running the 30-yard high stick event neck and neck in 4 1-5 seconds the Aggries have little to fear in their opponents next Monday. The team has been caught at four scores flat in the low hurdle race several times and on one occasion stepped the distance in 3 4-5 seconds
The pole vault and weight event are the weak spots in the makeup of the team. Washington has been unstoppable, taking 25 points in the high vault in any of his trials this winter. Marble is consistent with the 10-pound leather around the mark but this distance will hardly point in the conference this season.
Three Crack Sprinters
Pole and Shot Weak Spots
Wilder, a newcomer to local athletic circles, is bettering 2:08 in the half but can hardly be expected to perform in his time on the Robinson cork as the laps on that track are much shorter than on the Manhattan track and consequently fast time is impossible.
CLINE OUT FOR JAYHAWKER
Middle Law Student Running for Editorship of 1916 Annual
Neil F. Cline, middle law, has filed his petition with the Student Council for editor of the 1916 Jayhawker E. M. Johnson, junior College, announced his candidacy for editor yesterday. Ross E. Busenbark announced his candidacy for business manager yesterday also.

Claude Sowers a Daddy Now
Professors, Athletes and Common Students are Victims
Mumps. That's the word these days with two basketball players, one professor and eight students all swelled up over their achievements. And the worst of it is that Dr. Naismith gives no hope of any let up.
"The disease is infectious and isolation is the only preventive," was the doctor's statement this morning of how to treat a patient in the treatment of the disease. "Actual contact with a person having mumps is not necessary to contract the illness and for that reason one person can easily spread an epidemic of the disease."
The much neglected University infirmary has been used more than usual these days. Four students have been in the infirmary since the epidemic started, two of whom are still there. Fenton J. Baker and E. Kearney were at present, C.R. Veil left yesterday for his home in Independence, Kansas. George Feller, who has been out of school for more than a week is just out.
nesides these students there are several other sufferers. Prof. N. P. Sherwood is absent from classes now and mumps spells the why of the case. The other sick are Annette Ashton, Ray Fokels, Slats Cole, and Howard Adams. Adams left Tuesday night for his home in Maple Hill.
DFAN MARVIN BURIED TODAY
The funeral of the late Dean F, O Marvin was held this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Congregational church with Rev. Noble Strong Elderkin presiding. Burial was at Oak Hill cemetery.
Late Engineering Dean Laid to Rest in Oak Hill Cemetery
No classes were held in the School of Engineering at any time today. All classes in the 'University' were dismissed after 2:30 o'clock so that the students might attend the service. They were also forged for the engineers at the church. These were filled by the late dean's students.
SORORITY IS A GOOD HOME
Mrs. Eustace Brown Says College Women Receive Lasting Benefit
"More sororites are desirable at the University of Kansas," says Mrs. Eustace Brown, advisor of women at the University.
"The sorority offers a well-disciplined and well-regulated home for girls temporarily removed from parent care," said Mrs. Brown. "It also trains women to co-operate and for this reason the sorority wont leave." The fetter fitted to carry through any movement or policy inaugurated in the University.

From Such Surroundings
Have You Moved?
"In a sorority with Pan-Hellenic ideals, there is nothing detrimental and much that is helpful. Snobbishness, an unfriendly air, and over dressing, often attributed to the sorority, are brought from the home influence and are not fostered inside he sorority."
Present entry:
Dean F. W. Blackmar, of the sociology department, concurs with Mrs. Brown's idea and favors the sorority in college life. "From the point of view of the sociologist, morality is developed because it develops the group life, and gives to every woman a common feeling rather than the individual view."
Allen Sterling, junior College, was elected second lieutenant of Company M, K, N. G., at the meeting Tuesday night. He does not meet the commission after taking the position. Sterling was formerly first sergeant.

KANSAN MEN YIELD TO THE SPRING DAYS
Neglect Muse for Cupid
These warm days have taken the ardent Kansan reporters far from their favored work, and they now sit for hours alternately pecking on a typewriter and gazing with a soulful look toward as much of the blue sky as can be seen from the basement of the Medical Building.
Sure enough, every man on the staff has either a wife in fact or a wife in view, and is laboring for the little vine and figtree that he holds. He will be spurned on by his mental picture of the little bungalow-to-be in the suburbs.
John M. Henry, editor-in-chief,
writes a daily letter to the girl he left
behind him in the little Iowa town,
and carries a picture of a sweet-faced
lass in the face of his watch. John M.
easily gets the palm for constancy
and tenacity of purpose, while to Ray
happened he lost a pair of his
wallets of victory and the envy of his
colleagues, for Ray is really, truly
married.
Bill Cady, exchange editor, says nothing, but he disregards the date rule shamefully, and his case might well be called to the attention of the advisor of women. Booze may also be true to the maiden he left in Lyndon, nine miles from Osage, and he gave her a diamond ring for Christmas. The duties of his office are very exacting, and while Booze may not write as frequently as his colleagues, he makes sure it is in arduity when he does write.
Charles Sturtevant sends daily letters on pink perfumed stationery to some person in Topeka. Sturty confessed last week that the only thing that ever came between his sweetheart and himself was the embryonic moustache that he recently washed off.
The writer would like very well to pass over the airfactions of J. W. Dyche, business manager, through consideration of the young ladies on Indiana street, but let it suffice to say that his claim to distinction lies in the concentration and continuity of his attentions.

JUNIOR PROM ON APRIL 9
Managers Want to Make Annual Hop Excel All Others
Arrangements for the Junior Prom, the big society event of the year, indicate that this year's festivity will be heading to the managers, Bryan Davis and Alexander Creighton. The date for the Prom has been announced for April 9. Haley's ten-piece orchestra will soon to furnish the music for the evening.
The Prom committee at their meeting last night selected "A Letter of Introduction" by William Dean Howells for their force to be given in court. The first try-out will be Wednesday at 7 o'clock in Room 110 Fraser.
FIRST CALL OUT FOR BASEBALL PLAYERS
With George Smce, doped as the pitching mainstay of the 1915 Jayhawker baseball nine, out of the game because of ineligibility. Coach Leon McCarty will get busy next week to work on the lineup lineupe to see what he has left.
A formal call for all baseball candidates to meet at 2:30 Monday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium was issued this morning. Two men at least are trying to land Smee's place, Lefty Sproull first baseman on last year's nine, and Halleck Craig, a promising freshman of last year.
Miss Rayhill Back in School
Miss Martha Rayhill who has been teaching school at Warrensburg, Mo., for the past few months, has enrolled in the University and will finish her degree at the end of this semester. Miss Rayhill was a student here last year.
K. U Pottery at Toneka
Pottery worked up at the University of Kansas from Kansas clay is being shown to the legislators at Topeka. A dozen or more vases and several kinds of fancy bricks are in a case on the second floor of the state house. Kansas clay products in 1919 amounted to $1,919,910.
MUMPS AND AGGIES TOO MUCH FOR K. U.
Undefeated Five Tumbled 21 to 18 Before Manhattan Last Night
COLE AND FOLKS WERE OUT
A little red line, a strict referee and a crippled dugid more to shatter the ever-victorious record of the 1925 Jayhawk basketball five last night in Robinson Gymnasium, than the 1934 Rocky Mountain keteers. But the Aggies will have to be given credit for their 21-18 victory just the same. For it was real team work that kept the Hamiltonians from taking the lead the second half after they had started like blinded to overcome that 11-4 start.
The changing of the sideline to a red line two feet inside the old one, worked a real hardship for K. U. Time after time just when they had nearly worked the ball down the court a Crimson and Blue player would oversteep the bounds and the ball would go to the Farmers.
On the game there is little to tell. Both fives were badly off form on goal tossing. In the first half, while playing their usual back court game, Kansas suffered greatly because of their inaccuracy. In the second half after starting to score, the team had full defense the defensive work of the Aggie aggregation forced them back to the style of game that had spelled defeat the first period.
Inability to make even one free throw out of eight chances alone cost the Hamilton five the game. With Lefty Sproull in his usual form, at least four more points would have been added to the K. U. total and this would have been sufficient as they made nine field goals to the Aggies seven. Despite his sickness Sproull played one of his best games of the year, so much improvement was reported on improved this morning that he also will be able to play in the second game of the series tonight. It is not likely that either Cole or Folks, the other invalids, will be in shape however for tonight.
