SOPHOMORE SMOKER A SMOKY SUCCESS
First Class Get-Together Eve
At University Was
First-Class
The sophomore smoker, the first class smoker ever held at the University at the Alpha Tau Omega club on Tuesday night, was a decided success.
The idea in giving the smoker was to get the classmates acquainted and to discuss plans for a suitable class. The students would go to campus and both were fully realized.
The program started with a fast bout of two rounds between Hanson and Fowler in which Fowler was awarded the decision due to a right swing near the end of the second round which floored Hanson.
Engineers, Laws, and College men the class became acquainted, grounded, and realized.
A talk by Prof. Merle Thorpe on "Undergraduate Good Fellowship" was well received. Prof. S. H. Lewis spoke on "Class Memorial Hall," a chairman, chairman, chairman of the Memorial Committee concluded the program.
LaMer and Boddington followed with one of the fastest and hardest fought bouts ever seen between students. No decision was rendered.
Lawrence Morris gave a Dutch monologue in costume that took well. The Black Helmet quartet sang and were repeatedly enced. Norman Pierce made a hit with his burlesque of a boy pianist.
Succeeding the program an informal discussion of the memorial question took place in which the sentiments seemed to be unanimously in favor of leaving a substantial and appropriate memorial on the campus.
A vote of thanks was tendered the Alpha Taus for the use of their house.

A Jayhawker Again Grabs
Coveted Honor—Nicolet
Winner Last Year
Dykstra to Leavenworth.
For the second successive year a Kansas University graduate has won the Lewis Fellowship in Chemistry at Yale university.
Edwin Kohman, K. U. 1912, in a competitive examination open to all the graduate chemists at Yale, won the $500 Lewis Fellowship last week. This fellowship was held by Ben Nicoleot, another K. U. grad, last year.
The winning of this is one of the greatest honors that can come to a student at Yale. The examination covers all fields of chemistry, and only one with a very thorough knowledge of the subject need apply. Kohman made a grade of 345, but he worked hard when it considered that 350 is the highest grade ever made in the examination. Nicolet, who held the honor last year, is a relative of "Spec" Nicolet, K. U. 1916.

UNIVERSITY CLUB AN ASSURED FACT
Applications for Membership in New Organization Already Exceed Limit
TO BE A GENTLEMAN'S CLUB
Undergraduates Not Eligible—Grads of Other Schools Are—Rooms in New College Inn.
The new University Club, launched last week, is now an assured success.
At a meeting of the board of governors of the club held last night it was found that the number of members provided for in the by-laws is practically filled, included some of the members of the faculty who have not yet made final decision, and that applications for membership now in will make necessary either a waiting list or an extension in the number of members to be admitted.
Several attempts have been made heretofore to establish a University Club in Lawrence, but have failed for various reasons, and Lawrence is one of the few towns where a university is not unanticipated without a club of this sort.
About two months ago a number of the faculty met to consider establishing a club, decided to make the attempt, and called in other members of the faculty to assist them. After a plan had been perfected the members of the faculty and others who are. eligible were invited to join, with the result that membership was immediately filled up.
The club is not an exclusively faculty or University organization. Others who have graduated from a college or university may become members. Probably a quarter of the charter members will not be officially connected with the University of Kansas. It will be its all-time president's club, such as is found in all cities and university towns of any importance in the country. Undergraduate students are not eligible.
The quarters of the club will be on the second floor of the new College Inn that is to be erected by Lee of the College Inn this summer.
The club will probably have a library, an office, a lounging or general club room, a dining room, a billiard room, and other rooms that may be occupied by bachelor members of the club or by visitors. The floor space is seventy-five feet by eighty-five feet, giving a floor larger than those in most University fraternity houses.
