PLANS FOR PROM NEARLY READY
AMBASSADOR BRYCE TO BE GUEST OF HONOR.
Farce Will Be Given on Main Floor of Robinson Gymnasium.
Plans for the Junior prom which will be held in Robinson gymnasium on Friday night April 29, are fast nearing completion. Despite several slight inconveniences under which the managers and the committees are working, there seems to be no doubt that this spring's event will be one of the most successful in the school's history
There will be at least one feature, which has not been surpassed in any previous years That is the distinction of having for a guest of honor such a famous man as Ambassador James Bryce. Both he and Professor Jesse Macey, of Grinnel, have received invitations and will be present at the prom.
Other features will be the unique arrangement of the farce which will be staged on the maidgym floor instead of on the auditorium floor, and which will begin promptly at 9 o'clock. By this arrangement none of the space usually lost to the dancer by the erection of a stage for the giving of the farce, will be wasted. The orchestra will be placed on a raised platform in the center of the hall, and the decoration committee has hinted that there will be some unique decorative plans carried out in connection with these novel features.
Another important feature which was planned, but failed was that of providing for street cars to carry the dancers from the gym after the Prom. Or account of the car line loop not being built it was impossible it carry out the plan. Despite this fact, cabs will not be used as a means of conveyance, the members of the class having decided that "cabs were not in order."
TO PLAY SUMMER BALL.
Harlan May Go to Schmelkers in Kansas City.
With the opening of the baseball season in the various leagues over the state, many of the University players not eligible for college athletics, are commencing to feel the "call of the wild" and are working the kinks out of their arms. The accounts of the Sunday game of the Missouri Athletic club with the Schmelzers in Kansas City shows that one Hal Harlan, for several years chief slab artist for the local enthusiasts and now coach of this year's freshman team, was decorating the box for the Missouri Athletic club.
When asked this morning as to his probable relations with this team for the season, Mr. Harlan said that in Sunday's game he was a mere filler and that all though he would in all probability pitch several more times for them, before the State League opened up, he was in no way under contract with them.

There is a chance of several more students announcing their candidacy before that time.

The date of "tag day" has not yet been determined, but it is believed that it will be a method of selling a larger number of tickets than could otherwise be sold.
The date of the Gala Day has been changed from May 14 to May 13, in order to avoid a conflict with the Kansas-Missouri track meet.
Juniors Given But One More Day of Grace.
RECITALS POSTPONED.
All of the Juniors who intend going to the Prom this week must pay their prom dues at the check stand tomorrow. One member of the finance committee will be there during the entire day to receive payments. At the same time receipts may be exchanged for the regular prom admission tickets.
The finance committee is anxious that all those who expect to attend the prom shall not neglect the paying of the fees as early as possible. Tomorrow is at solutely the last day of grace since final prom arrangements must be made at once.
Coming of Ambassador Bryce Made Changes Necessary.

The recital of Miss Grace Waugh and Miss Jennie Purdy, which was to have been given Thursday evening, has been postponed to May 3. The recital of Miss Winifred Van Vleit and Miss Elizabeth Yeater has been postponed from May 3 to May 5.
UNIVERSITY ATHLETES TO ENTER RELAY CARNIVAL.
Haddock and Roberts Will Run the Hundred and French Take Part in the High Jump.
Three members of the Kansas track team, Haddock, Roberts and French, accompanied by Coach Hamilton, will leave Lawrence tomorrow night at 5:37 for Philadelphia, where they will participate in the Sixteenth Annual University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival, which will be held there Saturday, April 30.
The men will go by way of St. Louis and Washington, arriving at Philadelphia Friday morning, thus having twenty-four hours' rest before the meet: Haddock and Roberts are entered in the 100-yard dashes and French in the high jump.
This is the first year Kansas has ever entered this meet, but if the men make a good showing Kansas will probably be represented next year.
"All three of the men are in good shape," said Coach Hamilton this morning, and if they do as well in Philadelphia as they have been doing here, we will be sure of taking a couple of places and ought to take one first. Last year the hundred was won by R. C. Foster of Harvard in 101-5 seconds. Haddock made that time in the inter-class meet under unfavorable conditions Saturday, and Roberts is his close second. Last year the high jump was won by Porter of Cornell at six feet, and French has already gone that high this year, and if this dope means anything Kansas has a good chance to bring home at least one first."
This meet is given by the University of Pennsylvania every year and the competition is open to all college men, whether they be in college at the present time or not. There are about one thousand entries filed for this year's meet, and include college men from all parts of the country. The meet was intended originally only for relay races, but lately a few other events have been added to make the meet more interesting.
A dispatch from Columbia,Mo.. today says that the M. U. track team will not attend the Philadelphia meet. Not enough money could be raised to send the men, and Dr. Monilaw said that some of the athletes were not in good condition.
