UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
K. U. Women To Give Home Coming Dance For Men in Service
Dates
Date of Ball Set for May 11— Women To Make
At last the University women are going to have an opportunity to setle up all their social debts and the K. U. men who have joined the army and in training camps at Funston and Leavenworth will be given a special chance to "come back" and feel, for one night at least, as if they are once more in school and there is no war with Germany.
The women are going to give a dance with the W. A. A. board in full charge of arrangements. It will be proper for the women to invite the men to this dance, but it will not be amiss for the men to follow the old line of attack and make their dates early.
This will probably be the last big dance of the year, and the committee on arrangements are planning to make it a home coming party for K. U. men in the army and a special effort will be made to have many of them present.
Of course the University "Regulars" will be welcome.
The date is set for evening of May 11, in Robinson Gymnasium. Haley will be on hand with his three-piece orchestra. The committees have announced nothing yet about special features except that the cups and letters won by W. A. A. women during the year will be presented.
Bricken's Cafe will be open after the dance.

Behold the Meek and Mouse-Colored Prot
Dotted among the cerisei-purple and blue serge of the 8 o'clock morningly up-flowing stream of manny and humanity there are occasional strange specks. Against all laws of nature and gravity these be not the driftwood of the stream the royal jet of the local universe the mental scintillators, the intellectual diamond and platinum—the highly and lowly prof.
Watch that prof.—he's faring forth to daily battle; to a struggle not "over there" but "over here." Cast your eye upon the ammunition case—it resembles a young and slightly deformed traveling bag which has never grown up. Inside that young traveling bag are the day's pearls for sowing in the fields of undergraduate mind—pearls that cost that prof gray hair, a blighted looking countenance, and circled and lack-luster eyes. The garb of the prof is meek and neat, for the powers that be see to it that he is kept strictly to the realm of the mind and not the dollar.
Not many of those seed pearls will ever increase the world's supply of jewelry, but they will do something to spread enlightenment. The figure of the prof would not be so one-sided if he did not have to do a daily marathon up the slope with corrected assignments, whose physical weight is in excess of their mental weight.
The prof even the ordinary, everyday species, is a hero, even if the fact is as yet undiscovered. No general has ever pinned a crise de guerre on him, but that does not figure in the rights of the case.
Work of Motor League
At K. C. Helps War
"I don't thank any man for going to war and I don't expect anyone to thank me for using my car for war work. It's just as much my duty and the duty of every woman who owns a car to use it in government work as it is the duty of any man to respond to the crime that would not have the right to my car if I did not use it to help the Red Cross."
Such was the response of a private in the Woman's Motor League of Kansas City when she was praised for the good work members of the League were doing in helping organizations of women interested in war work, when the Theta Sigma Phi delegates were in Kansas City last week.

Candy being composed principally of sugar, chocolate and nuts, is very high in food value. The Food Administration realizes this, and does not ask people to stop eating candy. Instead it simply requests a wise selection of the kinds of candies eaten, buying only those that contain the least sugar such as dipped nut meats, marshmallows, jellies, nut, candies, etc. We make "Hoover-approved" candies—ask for them—Wiedemann's—Adv.
