Seniors have just had time to take a good breath since the Junior Prom last week and tomorrow evening the second round in the social whirl will be taken. The Sophomore Prom is scheduled to start at six o'clock and the managers have promised that dancing will cease at one o'clock. The question of the early starting of the Proms has been thoroughly discussed and it seems to be the concensus of opinion that an early starting is desirable. However some question the advisability of starting at six o'clock. After tomorrow evening the entire matter will be given a thorough test and the question will probably be definitely settled. Those who attend the Sophomore Prom should be as considerate about prompt attendance as were those who went to the Junior Prom.
Today the University is in the throes of another election. Members of the Men's Student Council will be chosen today and as usual politics is playing a great part in the game. As long as there are University elections there will be politics and as long as there is no mud-slinging no harm can come.
Next Saturday a large number of the high school students of the state will be at the University to attend the interscholastic track meet. These visits are great occasions for the high school boys and if ever the University is to make a good impression upon these people, Saturday is the day to do it. Courtesy by University people will do much towards making these boys and girls decide where they are going to school. If we allow a spirit of aloofness and even ridicule to dominate our attitude toward the visitors we will have a small
ehance to have them enrolled as University students. It seems to be considered a necessary thing for college men to show off superiority before those who have not yet reached the stage of higher education. Our actions toward the visitors Saturday should be tempered with courtesy and geniality.
Festive Occasion For Paul
Paul Humphrey, now a K. U. student, goes to Mound Valley, his home, every Easter to take a swim in the old "swimmin hole" in Pumpkin creek. He has kept that up now for nine years and says he proposes to keep it up till he dies. He gets much comfort out of his annual bath—K. C. Journal.
JAYHAWKER COPY LOST.
Material Sent to Topeka Last Week is Missing.
There is consternation among the members of the Jayhawker Board. This morning George Russell manager of the Annual, received word from Topeka that in some unaccountable way the copy for the scandal section of the Jayhawker which was sent up last week, had been lost and that all efforts to find a trace of the material handed in were futile. The scandal section of the 1911 Annual was reported to contain some of the choicest bits of hill news that have ever appeared in a like production and the managers are much worked up over the loss. If the missing copy is not found in a few days, an extra session of the board will be held and an attempt to duplicate the former productions will be made.
New York papers speak ot Hamilton as a favorite star on Broadway. Success as an actor has not caused him to forget Kansas, for recently his fraternity the Phi Psi received a number of large posters advertising his company. Hamilton graduated from the University in 1903.
George Little was called to his home at Carbondale today on account of the death of his aunt.

Phi Psis Won From Phi Delts
Time Us and see how Quickly
With two out in the ninth innings and the score standing 6 to 5 in favor of the Phi Delts, the Phi Psis batted in three runs and won the Pan-hellenic ball games held on McCook field Tuesday afternoon. The contest was any body's game until the last man was out. Delaney for the Phi Psis and Porter for Phi Delts both pitched a good game. Porter went behind the bat in the sixth and Alphin pitched.
"Skinny" Frith lead in the batting honors. In the first of the ninth when two men were down "Larry" Doyle hit over the right field fence for two bags. Delaney the next man up was walked and both seated on Pettit's line drive to right field. Tholen brought Pettit in with a clean hit over second base.

KICKS.
Editor of Kansan:— c
I have noticed that other persons have registered dyspeptic murmurings through your columns, and I now beg of you that you will permit me to plant my foot with a vigorous kick against the ribs of unhampered custom. For some time sir I have been annoyed by the large display of spring millinery which has been appearing in the various class rooms. Incidently I might state that I have been playing the little man behind. In days of childhood I played the good old game of peek-a-boo with as much enjoyment as the rest of the children. But I honestly believe that a University class room is hardy the place for such amusement. Large hats, however, on the front row of the class room have compelled me to play this old game with the professor for the past few weeks. Only today I tried to get notes on an experiment being carried on up in front; the only results that I could get were fourteen ostrich feathers, twelve yards of pink baby ribbon, and several piles of cultivated straw.
Democracy has long held her seat in this University; but it seems that the girls are determined to push her out by making an Easter parade out of the class room. Sincerely,
WILL TRY CASE MAY 10
STUDENT.
Prof. W. E. Higgins Will Act as Judge.
On May 10 the Kupfer-Phillips case of assault, and battery will be held in moot court in the Law school. Prof. W. E. Higgins will act as judge of the trial. Kupfer has engaged as his lawyers A. O. Andrew and Leonard Hammer while the counsel for Phillips consists of Clem Parker and H. A. Burgess.
The representatives of both the plaintiff and the defendant have been working on the case during the past few weeks and each side is confident of winning. The case will be tried before a jury which will deal out the punishment in the form of paddling to the losing man.
At the time the necessity of the official caps for freshmen was being impressed so forcefully upon the minds and other parts of the first year men, Homer Phillips refused to wear the small lid. When a number of Middle and Senior Laws attempted to force him to obey the ruling of the student council, he resisted. Kupfer is now bringing action against Phillips.
Alumni of the University are making success and bringing honor to their Alma Mater in every branch of activities in the world. Hale Hamilton of Topeka, Kansas, has been playing the title role in "Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford" in New York all this season. The play has had a wonderful run at the Geo. M Cohan theater.
The Aggie ball team defeated Washburn 5 to 1 in a game played at Manhattan on Tuesday. The game Wednesday was even more onesided as the Aggies won by a 16 to 2 score.
Southwestern won from the Oklahoma Aggies ball team last Monday in a sensational 12-ning game at Winfield with a score of 5 to 4.
University of Illinois defeated the University of Arkansas in baseball last Monday at Champaign, Ill., by a score of 9 to 4.
