LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 22, 1908.
ALL READY FOR SOPHOMORE
GRAND MARCH WILL START TONIGHT AT 8:30.
The Event of Second Year Class Is Informal—No Cabs and No Advance Programs.
Promptly at 8:30 this evening the grand march of the Sophomore Prom will advance down the center of Fraternal Aid Hall, under the mellow effect of two large electric numerals, '10 and '08, on each side, symbolizing the significance of the occasion.
The honors of receiving will be done by Carroll Teeter, Mary Gilmore, Earl Woodward, Beatrice Reid, Morris Roberts and Hattie Miller. The affair will be strictly informal.
There will be nearly one hundred and fifty couples in the grand march, led by the President, Carroll Teeter, and Miss Gilmore. On account of this large number going, admission will be by ticket only.
Very artistic programs in the form of booklets are to be presented in the two corners near the stage by Thos. Burtch and Margaret Fort, and Maurice Briedenthal and Lillian Abrahams.
A three course luncheon will be served in three divisions of fifty couples each at the little tables in the parlor downstairs. Because of this difference of time in serving refreshments, no programs are to be made out in advance.
Deutscher Verein Doings.
Six members of the German Club gave the little farce entitled "Versalzen" before the Deutscher Verein Monday afternoon. The play pictured the first attempt of a young wife at cooking dinner for her husband.
The cast of characters were: Hertha, the wife, Letha Hurst; Arnold, the husband, Merle Groene; Seeberg, the guest, Eugene Hipple; Ulricke, Hertha's aunt, Keene Fones; Wittkow, Ulricke's husband, Claud Clay; Trudchen, the maid, Marie Madden.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
THE EVER-LIVE QUESTION FOR WASHBURN-K. U. WRANGLE.
Washburn Debaters Have Spent Much Time Talking to Relief Corps Secretary.
The annual Washburn-K. U. debate will be held in Topeka on Friday night of this week. Thos. F. Countryman, Cowles Wright and Edgar W. Bray, the Kansas representatives, will uphold the affirmative of the question: "Resolved, that the state of Kansas should extend the same rights of suffrage to women as to men."
The settling of this time-honored question at Washburn Friday night promises to be an interesting event. Word comes from the Congregational debating camp that the Washburnites have been in conference with the Secretary of the State Women's Relief Corps for several weeks and are exceptionally well prepared. The Kansas boys have been working hard and will give their adversaries a run for their money.
The Missouri-Kansas debate, the only intercollegiate debate to be held in Lawrence this year, will be held in the chapel on April 28. The Debating Council is preparing to give a banquet to the Missouri debaters, the judges, and all men at the University who have participated in intercollegiate debate. The debating emblems will be presented at this banquet.

MASS MEETING
HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL MAY 7.
The Committee of Ten Will Have a Plan Ready by That Time.
The student mass meeting, scheduled to be held Thursday, April 23, has been postponed two weeks from that date on account of the Max Bendix recital in the chapel tomorrow night. The committee of ten has been busily at work and has secured much interesting information regarding student affairs at other representative higher institutions of learning. The postponement of the mass meeting will give more time for the preparation of data and plans.
Freshmen Play Westport.
Blacker's freshman team will hook up with the Westport high school team Saturday afternoon on McCook. The freshmen have played only one game this year. They have walloped the 'Varsity in several practice games. They will put up a good game against the strong high school team. The game will be called after the track meet.
Moore Talks in Chapel.
Professor W. U. Moore talked in chapel Tuesday morning about the common criticisms of laws and their administrations. He explained how the abstract idea of justice often had little influence by reason of the way in which many provisions of the common law have been evolved.
Two Games Enough.
President Elliot, of Harvard, in his annual report to the board of overseers, recommended that two intercollegiate football games were enough. He called the sport the "most useless of games" and made many other uncomplimentary remarks.
The Bendix Recital.
Much interest is being shown in local musical circles in the recital of Max Bendix, the noted violinist, which will be given tomorrow night in University Hall. Bendix will give recitals in Topeka and Kansas City which are being widely advertised.
