Members of the Committee and Also the Manager, Say the Trouble Is Ended.
“Harmony” was the watchword at the senior play committee's first meeting, which was held at the Chi Omega sorority house Tuesday evening, and "harmony" is the word which best describes the relations now existing between the manager of the play and the chairman of the play committee. The trouble which has existed is now no more.
"Mr. Cain, manager of the play, will set the date," said Val Nance, chairman of the play committee, today. "All published reports to the effect that there has been friction on the committee have been without foundation. There is no trouble and never has been."
"I am glad to see the committee working in good order, and I hope no more trouble will come up," said George Neal, president of the senior class.
"Everything is going along beautifully," said Miss Gail Sutton, a member of the play committee. "There is no friction in the committee and in a short time the dialogue will be complete."
"The date of the play will probably be two or three weeks later than the date first published," said Milton Cain, manager of the play. "I am anxious that neither the play committee nor the staff of the Jayhawker shall be discommoded in the least."
"The news that the play will not be held May 4 and 5 came as a welcome relief to the Jayhawker staff," said Editor Ralph Spotts. "It will now be possible to get out a much better Annual than we could have produced working under pressure."
At the meeting Tuesday night the men on the committee presented the synopsis of a play which they had been working or for some time. The entire committee is now working on the dialogue of the play and meetings will be held every afternoon and evening until it is completed.

OFFER PRIZE BY MISTAKE
But Bryan Prize Committee Will Make Offer Good.
The student who wins the Bryan prize this year will owe his success to a mistake on the part of the committee in charge of the prize.
The Bryan prize is supposed to be awarded once every two years to the student who submits the best essay on an assigned economic or political subject. Thos A. Nevins was the winner of the prize last year. Under the rules the prize would not be offered this year.
For more than a month, however, a sheet has been posted on the bulletin board under the clock in Fraser hall, setting forth the subject and the conditions under which it may be won in 1910 The committee did not learn o its mistake until one day last week. After a conference, the committee members—Prof. F. H Hodder, Prof. C. G. Dunlay and Prof. E. M. Hopkins—decided not to withdraw the offer.
"The amount of the prize will be the same as last year," said Prof. F. H. Hodder, to a Kansas reporter. "We made a mistake and we decided to make it good." The professor did not say how the fund will be made up.
The subject assigned this year is "Commission Government of Cities, with special reference to Kansas."

PETITION REQUESTS CALLING OF MASS MEETING.
Student Body Will Be Given a Chance to Voice Itself on the Football Question.
Because of the fact that the students of the University have as yet been allowed no opportunity of expressing their views on what should be done with regard to legislation against football, the Kansan, this morning caused a petition to be circulated among the students. The petition is addressed to the Student Council, and reads as follows:
"We, the undersigned, students of the University of Kansas, do hereby petition the Student Council to call a mass meeting of the members of the student body as soon as possible for the purpose of obtaining the sentiment of the student body with regard to the present status of football in the University. And, we further ask that the Student Council convey that sentiment to the Board of Regents of the University."
Within two hours after the petition was signed by the first student 227 names had been added.
It has already been presented to George A. Neal, secretary of the Student Council. A meeting of the council will be held next week and the date for the calling of the students together will be decided at that time.
The constitution of the Student Council declares that that body shall represent the student body. The constitution also provides that the Council shall call mass meetings for the consideration of sent themselves to the student all important subjects which prebody and shall work for the student body in its decisions or those subjects.
For that reason the petition was circulated and the names secured. Many more than are needed have been signed and without doubt the Student Council will call a mass meeting within a short time. When the meeting is called each student will be given a chance to express his views with regard to the legislation that should be taken against foot ball.
Prof. and Mrs. F. H. Hodder will entertain the members of the Graduate School at their home 1115 Louisiana street, Saturday evening, March 19.
