THE JUNIOR PROM.
It has been suggested that it is time to make some changes in the social gatherings of the University, notably the Junior Prom, in the direction of greater simplicity and smaller expenditure. Such affairs as the "Prom" need to be regulated every few years. It is the ambition of every junior class to give "the greatest Prom ever" and it is not many years after rather simple beginnings until the managers are taxing the pocket-books of the class and racking their brains to invent features of novelty and magnificence that will give their Prom the supposedly necessary lead over the preceding one. When the burden gets too heavy the Prom is simplified and the process begins anew from that point. One feature of the Prom,in recent years that has expanded unduly is the junior farce, which takes hours of time and makes it impossible for the dancing to begin until midnight or after. A commendable effort will be made to shorten the farce this year and thus contribute to making the Prom less of an all-night affair. If the managers of the 1911 affair can devise a way to start on time—taking care to make that time early—and eliminate all delays, criticism of the Prom will be lessened and the entire affair made more enjoyable.
Reports which indicate that students of the University are given to the consumption of the Demon Beer are said to hurt the University over the state. Therefore it may be well to remark in connection with the challenge to a beer-drinking contest which some of the engineering students have flung in the faces of the rest of the school, that University students are not devoid of a sense of humor.
A GLOOMY VIEW.
A graduate who lives in Salt Lake City takes a gloomy view of the University's future. He thinks the Junior Prom and Senior Reception are too tame, owing to ridiculous regulations made by the faculty, and compares them with pink teas in an Old Ladies Home. The graduate was a football player when he was here. One wonders whether he would live up the Prom and the Reception by instilling a little of the grid iron spirit into them. It is rather a trait of human nature to imagine that the decadence of an institution begins when one sever one's connection with it. The feeling of the Salt Lake City alumnus seems to be that the University can no longer compare with what it was in the good old day when he was a student. He says the attitude of the Regents enrages the alumni and cause then to advise their friends to send their children to other schools From the constantly growing enrollment of the University,it would seem that the people of the state have sense enough to disregard the advice of such alumni.
If "Engineers' Day" is to be March 31, whose day will March 17 be?
A Lawrence paper affirms that the men of the University are interested in the course on "The Family." If any oconfirmation of the report is desired, take a look over the campus as soon as the warm weather sets in.
While the decision is pending as to what committee has jurisdiction in the matter of regulating the gentle art of poker playing among students at this University, we move that the question be referred to Professor Dyche, the Game Warden.
The non-conference basket-ball teams have been springing some surprises on the varsity squad this week. Let us hope the College team will have better fortune when it goes out to meet the teams of the smaller Kansas colleges.
A sparrow's nest under the eaves of one of the buildings on the University of Kansas is said to be constructed from the treatise, "Young Birds, Their Care and Training." This precedent doesn't necessarily mean an increased demand for Mr. Coburn's justly celebrated work, "The Beef Steer and His Sister," and "The Hog's Happy Habitat."—Kansas City Star.
No Danger of a Fad.
Got What She Came For.
By Violet Shv.
Miranda Jane in Lonesomeville had such a splendid mind, so simple and so ladified, so dreadfully refined, that all her relatives declared to Lawrence she should go, and give her noble intellect a chance to sprout and grow. Four years passed by and she returned to uncles and to "ants," while docilely beside her walked a being clad in pants. Then all her joyful relatives embraced what she had roped,—declaring, "Jane has really done much better than we hoped."
Few Tennis Men Out.
Within the next ten days we are going to sell every Pennant and Banner in the Store, and in order to move them we are going to offer our stock at prices you cannot resist. Your opportunity to get what you want at this "Bigger than Ever" Pennant Sale and also your last chance at such low prices.
Our Proposition:
Only eleven of the thirty men who signified their intention of trying out for the tennis squad which will go to Topeka this spring to compete in a tournament there, have played sets in the preliminaries now being held in the gymnasium. All of the men who wish to compete for this team must play their preliminary sets before March 4. The six men having the best record in this try-out will compose the squad which will train for the tournament in the spring.
The German Verein will meet next Monday at 4:30 with Miss Ether Wilson, 1035 Ohio. There will be a musical program and light refreshments.
