"More Deadly Species" Has Up
per Hand Tomorrow Night
More than 250 women will attend the banquet given by the Women's Athletic Association Saturday evening in the Gym.
A basket ball game, the big banquet with many interesting toasts, a leap year dance, and a special program for the kids. A variety of vendors will feature Saturday evening. All women who do not dance will, with whomever they choose to invite, be kept busy from nine o'clock till twelve by playing various instruments and a program as it has been prepared by Sarah Rowe, '18 College, and others.
At seven o'clock the freshmen and sophomore women's basketball teams will antagonize for the last time this semester. A. D. Caroll has offered a silver trophy cup to the winning team.
After the goal tossing is over the women will descend to the first floor of the women's gym where the banquet tables give further enjoyment. Miss Ella Hawkins will act as tautistress, while Major Lindsay Herman Olott, Mrs. Harold L. Butterfield and others will give spicy toasts.
But at nine o'clock this feminine assembly will hasten upstairs to witness the results of their leap year bravery. Many men have received invitations sent them by various individuals who found it extremely difficult to screw their courage to the dooin't point. At this time the men will present white cards for admission. The persons attending the first floor and participate in a general good time. But up on the big slick floor the K. U. Orchestra will wind up its big music box and the dancing, which will continue until Saturday March the 11th is no more, will begin.
WHO PAYS HOP DUES?
Opinion
President Fitzgerald, a la Beatrice Fairfax, Expresses His
"Will the girls pay their Soph Hop dues?"
This, according to Linus Fitzgerald president of the sophomore class, is the question with which he is being constantly bombarded, following the appearance on the Hill Monday of an advertisement regarding the Hop.
"Frankly," said Fitzgerald this morning in discussing the matter, "I don't know whether the girls will pay or not. In the past, the majority of the women, especially sophomores, paid for them, and I assume they to allude to the men to assume the burden for them. This year I imagine the same condition will prevail.
"Some men are in the habit of consulting the lists of those who have paid their dues before making their dates. There will be none of that this year, and the list of women who pay their dues will not be seen by anyone other than the Hop Management.
"My advice to the fellows is for them to make their dates first, and then worry about dues afterwards. When the girls have been bid to the college they will do their share so far as paying their class dues is concerned."
Fitzgerald also says that another question which he is asked frequently is that regarding the sort of clothes the men are expected to wear at the Hop. "The party is strictly informal," he states, "and Chancellor Strong is the only man who will be expected to wear in a dress suit. As for the once popular custom of wearing white trousers and blue coats, that has died out in the last few years, and fellows who wore them have been in the minority. I think the general trend is toward ordinary business suits, preferably of a dark color. That is what I shall wear, because I believe it is now know is going to wear. The girls, of course, will blossom out in party downs."

Men, Too, Can Come, Provided They Are Properly Escorted

Two of the advanced classes will whirl in Italian and Spanish dances. Among the several beautiful choreographies that will刻画 the stillness in A Tennis Racquet Dance," while the interpretive dancing in "Woodland Sketches," "Scarf Dance," "Dance at a Russian Peasant Wedding," and "Dance of Ghosts" will be given by advanced classes.
A big open lesson showing the many different phases of feminine physical training work at the University will be given by the women gym classes on the evening of March 16. Over 1000 invitations have been issued to K. U. co-eds and the members of the faculty. In the corner of each white card the words: "A gentleman accompanied by a lady may present this invitation for admission. Give the men a chance to work done by this department."
A platoon from the National Guard will also appear on the program and put on a demonstration of preparedness. Some preliminary exercises, a military drill, and some bayonet fencing will feature in their work.
In the gymnastic games, the freshmen start in with a simple little game of Broncho Ball, graduate from that into Medicine Ball, then after a few moments play Chinese tag; and hastily all their efforts in a penant relay.
The final wind-up for the games, however, will be a short ten-minute half of basketball played by the sophomore. The other half probably be the last game these women will play.

"He occupies a position in the Congregational Church in America which corresponses to the Episcopal bishop in a church with the episcopal form of government. He has an almost world wide reputation."
"There are some men," continued Mr. Elderkin, "whom I would go to hear if only to look at their faces. He has a wonderful face. He has a compelling personality. He talks in a clear, calm, manner, somewhat like Raymond Robbins. In fact, he is such a man as Robbins. He has literally given himself to religious work and industrial evils."

The journalism laboratory has many strange visitors—iraffes, propagandists, publicity seekers, et al. The climax was reached this morning, however, when a Friendly little kitten, white black made an unintentional bitterness.
Just outside the door is a tin trash can half filled with frogs, dogs, and other refuse from the department of agriculture, hungry let, his appetite outweigh his discretion, and entered the can in search of a meal. The smooth sides made him an unwilling captive. He was eager to entertain all day for the scribes.

JAYHAWK SAYS KEEP 'EM
Will Talk In Favor of Holding Insular Possessions

Edwin Price, Marion H. Read, and W. O. Hake will defend the affirmation in the case of G. H. Hey, John McClamon, and John Reynolds will oppose them for Colorado.
The Kansas team has been preparing for this debate since the Christie-Brown doubled since the second semester began, and Prof. H. T. Hill, who has been coaching the team, says that he feels that it is in good shape for the team.
The Colorado team is an experienced one. Reynes was on the team that met the Kansas队 last year in Colorado, and the members of the Kansas队 of a year age will vouch for his ability. Reynes is from New York City, McCann is from New Jersey, and Hoy comes from Virginia.
The Colorado team has been here all day and the members of it, too, feel in good fighting form. Neither team, however, feels overconfident and at the meeting of the two teams this morning there was some joking going on about the valuable effects that come from losing a contest.

WOMEN'S DEBATING SOCIETY
NEEDS FINANCIAL SUPPORT
The Women's Debating Society which was talked of about two months ago does not seem to be progressing as rapidly as it might. "It lacks financial support and organization," said Professor H. T. Hill, of the department of Public Speaking this morning.
They have debating teams at Kansas State Agricultural College and Washburn College, and the popular opinion seems to be that it is a very good thing for the women. However, there does not seem to be as much interest taken by the women here as there might be.

H. H. LEAGUE TO DIE?
Inter-club Baseball Organization Can't Play Without Grounds
TRUGGLED THREE YEARS
Apparently no hope for K. U.S. Springtime Sport
The Hash House League may not be revived this year.
NEED GROUNDS
"With spring football and baseball practice Hamilton and McCook Fields will be busy a good share of the time. added to this is the fact that both the team and inter-fraternity oagues have precedence, or always have had.
"Unless we can no longer ground, I doubt if those interested will care to organize," said John Gleisserner, president of the league, this morning. "For three years we have struggled along, playing on the net links, in the streets, and almost any surface." He was watching diamond. As a result the schedule has been tangled, and many of the games have been unplayed.
"We went through three years, hoping that the league might become permanent, and that some assistance in the way of grounds might be offered. But is looks as if nothing were forthcoming. The athletic association has plenty of money—$18,000—and would give its players only a suitable location could be found. But no effort has been made to find a location.
"Last year the league had 24 teams, if it is re-organized this year the number will have to be cut down to half of hat, or even a third, for the games must be played, and as things are now, there is no longer a similar like that to carry out a schedule.
KANSAS IS BEHIND
“Practically all of the players have classes so that games can only be played late Friday afternoon and on Saturday. Many of the games last year were played at eight o'clock on Saturday morning, and that is an unholy hour for baseball playing. Others were played after dark, literally.
"There is a general tendency on the part of colleges and universities all over America to develop inter-mural sports. Educators generally are coming to see that the only true value of athletics to an institution lies in benefitting a student. The Hash House League brought 350 men into active playing last year. It aroused the interest of 500 additional men and women at the various clubs. I believe that as a means of promoting inter-mural sport, educators have missed this opportunity of athletics Kansas has lagged woefully behind.
"If satisfactory arrangements for grounds can be made, the league will probably be re-organized, otherwise not. I have talked to a great many who have been interested in the past, but I don't know how to operate the league, but see no use of trying to operate it as it was of necessity run last year."
PLAY REHEARSALS BEGIN
Though Cast is Incomplete, Seniors Rehearse Senior Play
Though the cast has not been definitely chosen, rehearsals for the senior play, "Copping the Grapes," have already begun. Several students are after the leading parts in the cast and all of them will continue to rehearse until the play committee finally makes its choice of actors. The play is to be presented at the Bowersock Theater on March 30th and changed from March 29 in order to allow the cast more time in which to work up the production.
"Coping the Grapes" is a college comedy in two acts and a prologue and an epilogue. It recently won the fifty dollar prize offered by the Dramatic Club for the best play written by a student. Alton Gumbiner, a scholar at Texas A&M University strong local interest in that it deals with life at K. U., the scene supposedly being laid in a fraternity house on the Hill.
Don Burnett is manager of the production, and will have charge of staging it. Prof. Arthur MacMurray, of the University of Florida, coaching the cast. "We have some pretty good material," he said this morning, "and I think that as soon as we get into the field, we will get along all right. All prospective members of the cast are seniors."
Dr. Alberta L. Corbin, associate professor in German, is still unable to meet her classes. This is Dr. Corbin's first and the most that she and her condition need to warrant her return. Two weeks ago, she was threatened with a nervous breakdown, but with care and attention, this was averted. If her condition improved, Dr. Corbin will resume her duties on the Hill, next Monday.
