TO GIVE BIG JUNIOR PROM
ARRANGEMENTS ARE FAST NEARING COMPLETION.
Farce to Be Given on Main Gym Floor—Other Features—Dates Coming in Slow.
A Junior prom that's different Such are the plans of the prom committee and on April 29 if all of those plans are carried out the annual junior party promises to be the most novel and most original for several years.
For several months the managers and the members of the different committees have been working faithfully upon the different features of the event. Every phase has been completely covered and in no case is there to be a duplication of past proms. The plans thus far have been kept a secret and even yet there are many features that will not be announced until the prom is given and the secret is made a public one. A number of the arrangements, however, were given out this morning by Manager Pettit.
One of the best will be that of arranging the farce. In the past the stage for the play has been erected on the main dancing floor. The result has been that almost one third of the dancing space has been lost and the floor badly crowded. This spring the farce will be given on the main gymnasium floor. The stage will be erected in the center of the room and the audience will be seated in the east section.
The farce which will last an hour and a quarter, is said to be filled with juicy bits of University gossip, that will make a play which exceeds anything yet given.
After the farce the dancing will start on the upper floor. There again a new plan will be adopted. The orchestra will be stationed on a low platform in the middle of the floor. Consequently practically no room will be lost to the dancers and the 300 couples will not be hampered for room.
Dates for the prom have up to this time been very slow in being handed in to the invitation committee. There is less than a week left in which to hand in dates and unless many of the juniors and seniors get busy they will be forgotten when the invitations are issued.
Research Work Successful.
Prof. L. E. Sayre, Dean of the School of Pharmacy, has recently been doing research work upon Gilsimium, an herb used in medicine to reduce the heart action and has succeeded in extracting the extract or principle from the root.
Gilsumium is grown in the southern part of the United States and is similar to the jasmine. It belongs, however, to a different species and the root of this flower has been used in medicine for over fifty years.
Inspect Drug Houses.
The association of wholesale drug houses in Kansas City has given its annual invitation to the School of Pharmacy, faculty and students, to inspect the wholesale drug houses in Kansas City on April 22. It is expected that almost a hundred students will spend the day inspecting the wholesale houses.
EMIL OBERHOFFER, GREAT ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR.
Emil Oberhoffer, conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, which appears here on April 22, is considered one of the six great conductors of the world. Such artists as Paderewski, Sembrich and Carreno assign him this rank. The training for his work has been very arduous and the opportunities few. Mr. Oberhoffer is a magnetic personality, who interests the audience as much as his orchestra.
STREET CARS IN A WEEK.
Work Hindered by Increment Weather.
If it were not for the rain the first of the week it would not be more than a day or two longer until street cars would be able to reach the top of the hill, and it would mean only a week's more work until the cars would be descending Mt. Oread on the south side. However, the work has been hindered and it will probably be the first of next week before the cars reach the summit.
The track is now laid as far a the Chemistry building and with in a short time the erection of the station which is to be built between the Chemistry building and the gym will have been begun. Two other platform stations, one south of Fowler shops and the other north of the law building will also be built. Another station will be built by the street car company at Me Cook field. It will be a pavilion sixteen feet wide and forty feet
FIRE ESCAPE FOR FRASER.
Iron Stairways Will Also Be Used as Exits.
A fire escape will soon be built on the west side of Fraser hall, leading to the chapel. There will be two exits from the first floor of the chapel and one from the gallery.
Two three-foot iron stairways will lead from the gallery exit to the first floor exits. From each of the first floor exits a four-foot stairway will lead to the ground. The fire escape will be used every day as an exit, so that the crowded conditions in the hall at chapel time will be eliminated.

Never Again
Said a customer the other day, who had been having his clothes made by a certain tailor for years. Last fall he was induced to buy one of our

Suits, and last week he came back for another. Said he, "I was never fitted like this in all these years; I'll never go back there again." A man accustomed to wear our clothes would never cease to do so, unless compelled to. Another customer said a tailor persuaded me to place an order for about fifty dollars' worth of clothes, but—
