THE JUNIOR PROM.
Each year the members of the junior class entertain the graduating class of the University. Each year has seen an increase in the lavishness of production, until the Junior Prom is now reckoned as the one big, gala event of the school year. The plan that the managers of this year's Prom are advocating of starting the event at 6 o'clock and concluding the dance by 3 o'clock is altogether new at this University. Other institutions have tried the plan and all say that it is a great success.Whether or not the students at the University of Kansas will like it, cannot be ascertained until it has been tried.
The Kansan believes that the student body as a whole does not favor the plan at the present time. The reason for this may be assigned to a certain dislike to go to a dance in the afternoon, especially a formal dance. But The Kansan also believes that when the innovation has been given a trial it will become a permanent feature of the annual event. The granting of a half-holiday by the Chancellor will give ample opportunity to prepare for the evening's entertainment and as soon as certain of the "old guard" among the student body get the idea out of their heads that the Prom must be an all-night affair, the new plan will become a fixed feature. The managers of the Prom have acted for the best and their sane attitude toward this social event should be given the en-
The managers of the Prom have acted for the best and their sane attitude toward this social event should be given the encouragement it deserves.
The Music Festival which opens next Thursday ought to receive the support of every University student. The soloists for the three concerts are recognized as among the best that are before the American public today. Those who have heard the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra came away charmed by its renditions. This orchestra is among the best in the United States and an opportunity to hear it should not be allowed to pass by.
The alumni of the University have always been an uncertain quantity. Each year as questions affecting this institution are brought before the public we find a difference in the attitude toward their Alma Mater of the alumni. The plan of the Kansas City, Kan., alumni to organize a state-wide association should be encouraged in every possible way. The University graduates over three hundred students each year and it is fair to assume that a considerable number of these remain in the state. If these graduates can be brought into close association they will have an influence that will do much toward relieving any further obstacles that may arise to block University progress.
INVITE FOUR TO WARBLE.
Kansas City Alumni Will Hear Songs From "The Idle Idol."
The Kansas City Alumni Association of the University of Kansas will hold its annual banquet next Saturday evening, April 8. The banquet is to be given in the University club rooms.
Joe Marshall, Henry Campion, Donald McKay, John Musselman, and Quay Barnett have been asked to be present on the program, for several musical numbers. They expect to sing solos and quartets from the "Idle Idol," the musical comedy presented last February by the Red Domino club. Besides these numbers, they will also sing some of the more common University songs.
Mosher—Mills.
Guy E. Mosher, '09, was married to Miss Essie Mills Wednesday evening, March 29, 1911, at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs.G.W. Thurston, in Parsons, Kansas. Miss Mills was a special student in the School of Fine Arts in the year 1908-9. Mr. and Mrs. Mosher will live in Coffeyville, where Mr. Mosher is employed by the Coffeyville Vitrified Brick Company.
Kress stores have sold TEN MILLION POUNDS of candy in the past year, which amount is continually growing. This means 416 freight cars or 20 solid trainloads of 20 cars each. If each case and pail was placed on top of another it would make a tower one hundred miles high.
Some particular items of candy have grown into tremendous popularity: Fudges, for which Kress stores are noted, more than 1000 tons sold in a single year.
This speaks for itself. The manufactures can afford to handle this enormous volume on the lowest possible margin of profit. We can afford to sell at the very smallest profit on each pound.
225 tons Famous Eclipse Jelly Drops, 200 tons of Vanilla Marshmallows, 150 tons of Sunbeam Molasses Butter Kisses, 100 tons Gypsy Peanut Butter Kisses, 125 tons After Dinner Cream Mints, over a thousand tons of Chocolates.

SO K. U. MAY NOT WANT.
A movement for a fixed tax to support state educational institutions and a single administrative body to govern these schools will be gun by the alumni of the University of Kansas next week. The launching is to take place in Kansas City, Kan., at the reception which is to be given by the Kansas City, Kan., alumni April s.
The plan, it is said, is to choose a chairman from among the alumni in each county in the state. County meetings will be held and later the chairmen will meet in a state meeting of alumni
"Probably no more than a discussion and formulation of plans can be done at the meeting April 8," said L. N. Flint, secretary of the National Alumni Association, in speaking of the movement. "But there is no doubt that the alumni will open a campaign for a fixed tax system and a single administrative board.
A Campaign for a Fixed Tax to Be Begun April 8.
"We believe that such a tax plan would afford the greatest opportunity for the advancement of the state educational institutions. We also feel that the single administrative board system is an amirable one when properly handled. College alumni are now about the only class of men who are not organized for the promotion of their best interests. It is the idea of the University graduates to band themselves together for the purpose of studying such problems and working them out to the advantage of the schools."
LECTURES FOR THE GRANGE
Farmers Find a New Use for the State's Higher Schools.
The committee on education of the Kansas State Grange met at the University Friday with Mr. E. B. Cowgill, of the department of University extension. The members of the committee are E. B. Cowgill, chairman; A. P. Reardon of Jefferson county, and J. C. Burcher of Osage City.
It was arranged to have educational addresses prepared by the professors of the University, the Agricultural College, and the State Normal. Copies of these addresses will be forwarded to the lecturers of the local granges throughout the state for use during the lecture hours of the grange meetings. One lecture will be sent for every month.
Fight Over Girl.
Chauncey Hobart an alumnus of Northwestern University and Paul Luker, a member of the junior class, fought ten rounds to a draw Friday without gloves, in the gymnasium of that University. A girl is said to have been the object of the fight. Neither Hobart nor Luker would discuss the fight, both declaring it to be a slight personal quarrel.
The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority gave their annual "Catsup" Saturday night at the Theta house. The evening was spent in dancing.
