HOCKEY WILL BE REAL GAME FOR K. U. WOMEN
NUMBER 128
Dr. Alice Goetz Would Estab lish One Principal Sport for Students at University
WILL PRACTICE ALL YEAR
Physical Training Instructor Would Have Women Participate in Athletics Winter and Summer
Hockey will hold first place in sports for the women at K. U. If Dr. Alice Goetz's plans and hopes come true.
Game Established at Other Schools
"Hockey at Nebaska and Missouri is well established, and Missouri is anxious to play with the men of Kansas. If we organize a good team we can give them the opportunity, and it will be great fun.
"The Woman's Football"
"It is really the only good sport in which college women are at all interested," went on Dr. Goetz. "Basketball is more for girls of high school age and peters to our college. Girls come to our college. College boys come to something new, something a little less strenuous and rough, and hockey fits in with that requirement. As played by women it is an all year sport, and is played in the wrist on the frozen ground. The costume used consists of a short skirt and a shirt wavy or middy. Next year we hope to tion of uniforms if skirt, waist, and coat be warm colors. High shoes should be worn, and shin guards to protect the players from any possible wild shots of the enemy."
Hockey for women corresponds in some ways to football for men, with all the objectionable features left out. There are eleven players on a side, and they are placed on one end of the football, with five forwards corresponding to the line men, three half backs, two full backs, and one goal keeper. The field itself is 100 yards long and ty-five yards wide, and has yard posts at each end in a gridron, through which the ball or pack must be shot to score a goal.
The women's tennis courts back of the Gym are being converted into a hockey field, and will be ready for practice by next Wednesday.
VAUDEVILLE TO BE APRIL 20
"We want lots of ethnomusic for the game," said Dr. Goetz as a final touch to the team's victory. Women's athletics at Kansas is a real factor in the life of the school."
Student Actors Stage University Circus in Robinson Gymnasium
Robinson Gymnasium will be the scene Tuesday night, April 20, of the K. U. Vaudeville show staged by the department of physical education at the university fund. The largest stage ever built in the Gymnasium will be erected for the occasion and the forty gloriously costumed characters who will perform during the evening moment that there will not be an idle moment.
The production will surpass the circuses of former years and the introducing of the vaudeville program in 1920. The production will be forgotten.

PROFESSOR HAWORTH
WANTS WAR TO END
Only Peace Can Free His Son

One K. U. professor is hoping or an early peace in Europe. Paul Iaworth, son of Prof. Erasmus Haworth of the department of German history at the Irish army where he serve until four months after the end of the war.
"If the war lasts ten years, Paul will have to serve ten years and four months," Professor Haworth said; confirming a letter Paul wrote him recently.
"We hear from him quite often, but the mail comes irregularly and nearly always in bunches. The last letter and message was from him. He saw a lot of pictures, some of them taken at the Pyramids; where his company was stationed. Paul said that he and some of the men were in one of the pyramids one night.
Paul Haworth never entered the University. He enlisted in the Australian department of the army. He left Lawrence late in June, last year, before the war with Britain. His thought of the United States. He invited a vacation trip, intending to be gone two or three weeks. He arrived in San Francisco about the time when the news of Austria's declaration of war on Servia was made public. The occupants of the hotel travelled from fruit salesman who persuaded him to join in a trip to Sydney, Australia where he enlisted.

DRAMATIC CLUB MAY START PRIZE FUND
Expect to Set Aside a Part of Proceeds of Play for Playwright
In the hope of putting dramatics at the University on a higher plane and also adding more local interest the K. U. Dramatic Club expects to establish a permanent fund to be held by the students who will write original plays. A part of the receipts of this season's play, "The Man From Home," which will be staged at the Bowery sock theater into this fund and the Club expects to make an offer of at least twenty-five dollars for a play for next year's production. If the attendance at the play Wednesday night indicates the members of the Club hope to offer fifty dollars in prizes.
"Students in other schools write good plays for their dramatic clubs and I see no reason why the students of the University of Kansas cannot do the same," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray, head of the department of public speaking, this morning, the drama department proposed to start should stimulate the geniuses enough to get busy. Next year we hope to be able to stage a home-talent play, from playwright down to the smallest part."
A report of this boy dramatist's work which appeared in a New York paper says that the play is an "upide-down play." It is pure melancholy, has a manual view and original. Here's what Reizmutein said about his play:
It has been suggested by members of the Dramatic Club that K, U, may get into "the big leagues" just like other schools when some of the local playwrights get busy. Not long ago, Elmer L. Reizenstein 23, received a doctorate from University, had a play, "On Trial," accepted by the Cohan and Harris producing company and it is estimated that he will receive $150,000 in royalties.
"Last winter I was reading a criticism by Clayton Hamilton in which he said that the plays then on Broadway were so badly done that they could be acted backward as well as forward. It occurred to me that it would be an interesting experiment to try a play backward just to see how much effect it had on analytic instead of synthetic—deductive instead of inductive—to make it break down instead of build up. I wrote the play in six days."
The "upside-down" play has had its 266th performance at the Candler theater, New York and interest to be as high as on the first night.

CAPS AND GOWNS MAY BE WORN BY FACULTY
Long Black Robes are Highly Favored by Many Professors
Will the faculty went caps and
gowns this year during commence-
ment week?
Professors
This is the question that is upper most in the minds of some of the faculty at present. Probably the most enthusiastic one over the new idea is Prof. J. N. Van der Vries. Professor Van der Vries thinks the idea is splendid and believes commencement exercises, including a campus diet, are widely adopted them. All the leading Universities and schools of the United States and nearly all the schools of Europe wear during commencement week.
Professor Van der Vries said that in Eastern schools it was customary not only to wear the caps and gowns there, but also to wear them it would also customary for the faculty to wear them to all convocations.
"Caps and gowns give a tone and dignity to commencement that nothing else can," he said. "Besides the different graduates from the departments in the University have a distinctive pattern on their gowns and thus are recognized in the process. School colors are in the center. Students worn the public cap tell from what school the graduates come. In many Universities the whole student body wears caps and gowns."
professors P. B. Dains and W. A.
Whitaker expressed themselves favorable to the faculty wearing caps and gowns.

SPRING BRINGS OUT
GRAFTER'S WARM HAND
Agents Talk Easy Money Scheme
Shortly after the grass begins to make its first appearance on the campus and early songsters are looking over possible summer quarrels with homes infected with a multitude of very different beings—the grafters.
One of this motley crew meets an unsuspecting student on the campus and after shaking him warmly by the hand, starts out to convince him that he is particularly well fitted for salesmanship.
The upshot of the conversation is that the student begins meeting with several other, "particularly fitted," companions and in the end shell out three delines for his teacher and becomes a full-fledged grafter.
After numerous practices in which certain members of this new organization play the unsuspecting farmer while others practice the intentional loosen up they let loosen upon their intended victims. They separate to various parts of the state and begin the task of impressing their intended customers with the ideas, techniques and generally with a poor opinion of the results of university training.
But the real farmer is not the looking glass or squad companion type so often practiced upon. He has ideas of his own and the result is that about one-twentieth of the get-rich-quick aspirants who saw all their fraternity dues, paid bills for the expenses, and缴满 bills, for the annual school year, paid from three months work, ever finish the season. The ten dollar bill from dad pays their railroad fare home and there they remain the rest of the summer.

WANT A SIMPLER PROM TO STOP USUAL LOSS
Elaborateness of 1915 Junior Event Keeps Many Away and Causes Deficit
WAS A BIG SOCIAL SUCCESS
Formal Party Was Planned to Last Detail and, Went off Without Confusion—But Lost $50
Comparatively few paid admissions to the Junior Prom will cause a deficit of not less than fifty dollars which the management will be required to make up. A fully itemized account of the expenditures and income has not yet been made but it was estimated that the affair lost money.
Too many free admissions, to seniors who paid their dues last year and to faculty members, and not enough paid tickets are the reasons assigned for the financial failure of the event. The elaborateness of the event runs up the cost so high that only a small number buy tickets.
Would Reduce Free List
Bryan Davis, co-manager of the Prom, is of the opinion that a simpler Prom should be given next year, and if possible, the free list should be reduced to the absolute minimum. Notwithstanding the fact that this year's Prom was a financial failure there is no denying that as a social event it was one of the biggest successes in K. U. history.
The junior farce, "A Letter of Introduction," opened the festivities. With Maria Slade and Cecil DeRoin in the leading roles, and John Elliott furnishing the chief comedy part, the players furnished thirty minutes of real farce. Don Burnett, who played the villain, getting the plot of the playlet hopelessly entangled, while Ruth Lillis and Nellie Houston, in minor roles, succeeded in providing a proper background for the main action.
Following is the cast:

Following the fare, the receiving line formed on the dancing floor, and the guests passed upstairs to be introduced down the line. Some disappointment was occasioned through the failure of Governor and Mrs. Capper to attend, but the great majority of the students, at least, were satisfied with meeting such cellars. T H Ashmore of the Board of the Board of Administration, Mrs. Cora G. Lewis, and Chancellor Strong.
The grand march began at eighthirty, led by Dick Burton, president of the junior class, and Miss Malaise of the dance followed. The dance included or programmed dances on cards for cases for the ladies and bill folds for the men, met with favor among the crowd. Four course refreshments were served at dimly lighted tables where they could enjoy intermission. Dancing continued until two o'clock Saturday morning.
There were many exclamations of delight when the guests filed upstairs and gained their first view of the magnificent decorations. Tony the artist of the decoration committee, had sprung a little surprise of his own, in the form of an electric fountain, which added just the right note to the splendid effect produced by the Japanese affairs office. A woman, who was a woman, who has attended four Proms, and who became as excited as any freshman when she saw the beautiful hall, gave the highest criticism to the decorations. "Why?" she exclaimed, "I didn't imagine Bobbie Gymnastium could ever be like this."
Decoration Well-Received
And that's what everybody else thought, too.
