Archie Naramore, president of the class of '09, today announced the committees who are to have the management of the Junior prom next spring. It is not yet definitely known when the prom will be held but April 30 will probably be the date. A special class meeting will be held soon to decide the date and place for the event and whether or not the laws shall be admitted as last year.
A new departure was made in the appointment of two managers instead of one in order to divide the responsibility which has fallen so heavily on the one man in the past.

Managers of Prom—Ernest Skofstad and Tom Veatch.

Bertha Luckan, Ralph Pryor,
Ralph Berger.

Miss Sage at Westminster.
Miss Pauline Sage has come to spend the winter with her sister, Mrs. Wilber, and will assist with the class work of Westminster House. Miss Sage is a graduate of Wellesley College, where, during the last two years, she has been doing graduate work in English Literature, and also serving as General Secretary of the Christian Association.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey left Monday for Salina, McPherson and Lindsborg to visit the colleges located in those towns and to help promote a friendly spirit between them and the University.
SEVERAL ROOMS ENTERED.
NUMBER 19
Sneak Thief at Work in Student Rooming District.
Considerable thieving has been in evidence in portions of the student rooming district. Two weeks ago four rooms were entered at 1205 Kentucky street and articles such as tie, gloves, pennants, and stick pins taken. In this one raid, seven students lost a total of eighty dollars. Two days later rooms at 1005 Kentucky street were entered and similar articles taken.
Nothing was done to catch the thief until last evening, when the room belonging to Hugh Fisher and Ralph Scammell was revisited and a dozen pennants taken from the walls. This was done probably during the dinner hour. As soon as the theft was discovered Fisher and Scammell consulted the police and engaged a detective. A determined effort is being made to catch the guilty party.
CLASS PARTIES TO BEGIN EARLY
Class Presidents Agree to Start All Parties at 8:30—Number of Dances Limited.
The class presidents and the social committees of the various classes met yesterday and promulgated a set of new rules regulating class parties. Hereafter the music at all parties is to start promptly at 8:30; only eighteen dances will be given, unless the extras can be added before 12:30. These regulations do not apply to the party Friday night as previous arrangements had been made.
Song Recital Thursday Night.
Tomorrow night a song recital will be given in Fraser Hall by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Boice Carson, soprano and tenor of Chicago. This recital is the third of the Fine Arts cosure, but will also be open to holders of the athletic ticket. The words of all songs will be printed on the program.
Prof. J. E. Boodin, of the Philosophy department, will have two articles in an early number of the Journal of Philosophy under the general heading, Consciousness and Reality The Journal of Philosophy is one of the leading philosophical periodicals of the United States.

ROUSE RETURNS
JAYHAWKER CAPTAIN COMPLETELY RECOVERED.
---
Missouri is Heavier than Kansas Jayhawkers are Working out in new "Gym."
Captain Carl Rouse and "Billy" Rice, the players injured at St. Louis returned this morning with Manager Lansdon. Rouse has completely recovered and is in the best of spirits. He lined up with the squad in the gymnasium this evening and will lead the Jayhawkers against the Tigers at St. Joseph, Thanksgiving. Rice has a broken ankle and Kansas will lose her great fullback for the final battle. Dennis also has a badly bruised shoulder and is unable to practice.
In speaking of the Tigers Coach Kennedy said, "Missouri is stronger, heavier, and faster than last year. But with our offense built up by ten days of hard work we will stand a good chance of winning."
Parry, Donald, Miller, and Angney saw Missouri beat Washington at Columbia last Saturday and are enthusiastic over the Tiger bunch. They look for a great game but are hopeful and expect a hard fought victory for the Jayhawkers.
The squad has been greatly strengthened by the return of Angney and Miller to the game. Angney is back at his old berth at quarter and "Billy" fits into his place again at half. Stephenson is being worked at full in Rice's place and will probably play that position Thanksgiving. This makes the back field consist of Miller and Porter, halves, Stephenson, full, and Angney, quarter. Coulter is being worked out at Rouse's end.
Professor Hodder in Chapel.
Professor Hodder entertained the chapel audience Tuesday by reading to them a letter of advice written to the young men in the English Universities in 1638.
"No man should be his own historian. Do not become the talkative man who uses his mouth as a sluice to let escape all that is in him" was a part of the old time Professor's advice. Professor Hodder said that it applied as well today as when it was written and he read the letter as expressive of his own views.
The regular bi-weekly meeting of the Good Government Club will be held at the Sigma Nu house this evening. A.C. Mitchell, representative from the thirteenth district, will make a short talk on state politics.
SWIMMING POOL IS USELESS
Walls Leak and Must Be Repaired
—The Heating Plant is Inadequate.
Robinson Gymnasium is without hot water, either for the shower baths or swimming pool. The heater which is situated in the basement of the building has not been accepted by the University because it fails to work. Neither architect, heater company, nor contractor will admit any responsibility in the matter and action is at a standstill. Dr. Naismith says, however, that the heating apparatus in itself is all right and only needs to be lowered about two feet. He also says a pipe must be put in to carry away the water which now fills the steam pipes when it reaches a certain height.
But the defective heater is not the only reason why the pool is not being used at present. The walls leak and must be repaired before the pool can be opened. While the question of responsibility is being threshed out nothing is being done toward getting the pool ready for use.
TO GIVE A SMOKER.
Pan-Hellenic to Pull Off Affair in F. A. A. Soon.
At a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic at the Phi Gam house, it was voted to give a smoker in F. A. A. hall sometime shortly before the Christmas vacation. It is thought that about 200 Greek Letter men will attend the affair. A committee has been appointed to arrange a special program for the evening.
J. Wilbur Lapham, '07, is vicepresident of the Kansas Club at Ann Arbor this year. Lapham was expected to make good in the broad jump and hurdle on the K.U. track team this year, but changed his plans and entered the Michigan School of Law last fall instead of returning to K.U. for his law course. It was not known here where Lapham was this year until the publication of an account of the meeting of the Ann Arbor Kansas Club.
