TO MEET MONDAY,
Juniors Will Attempt to Straight
en out Difficulties.
,B,oth sides iii, tho Junior election con
test proceedings are lining up for the
battle Monday, and enough of excite
ment is promised to please the most
exacting. The issue, having been given
Its true importance by the interest
that has beentincd up, is considered
a most momentous one and its settle
ment means much to both parties. Each
side proposes to contest bitterly every
point of the case before It will accept
defeat.
As an evidence that he Is desirous
of being fair and wishes to see the Is
sue settled according to Justice, Prcei-tlcnt-elect
A. H. Lmidln has callpd a
meeting of the class for Monday, which
will be held in U. 107. He was not
hound to call this meeting and had he
s failed to do bo the acting prealdont
would have been obliged to attend to
this duty, a thing which under tho
circumstances would have been Just
and proper, but not so desirable as hav
ing the .meeting called by Mr. Lundln
himself.
The plaintiffs in the case if the
term is permissible still are confident
that they can produce enough evidence
to provo fraud. They still assert that
they can produce four men to swear
positively that more otes weie cast
J,han thei'e-were Juniors present. They
also claim that others are possessed of
the same knowledge, but lor reasons
of their own do not wish to make It
known.
One man stated that he had counted
tighty-two Juniors at the meeting and
two visitors. However, he said that he
was not interested enough in the mat
ter to make a sworn statement to this
effetlTut-Tnostof-thosc. who have
any definite information at alj, are
willing to unburden the sum and sub
stance of their knowledge Ht. the prop
er time and place, and do not care to
make any statements for public gos
sip. There will surely bo trmible 6ver the
pioposltlon of electing the master of
ceremonies and the chairman of tho
Junior hop committee, While the
thing looks desirable to many, a strong
objection will be raised on constitu
tional grounds. Those who are opposed
to such a measuro say that the presi
dent of the class has had the appoint
ive power in selecting the two leading
TTfricials for the Prom, as far back as
anyone can romem"ber or knows of.
CiiBtora. they say, makes the laws In
most cases and since there is nothing
-in the -constitution that nllnwa the
class to act In such u capacity, they are
Bilre that they have strong grounds for
their argument. The other side does
not seem to be worrying pver the mat
ter at all or else they are very reticent
as to how they expect to meet the ar
gument. They merely state 'that there
will be some brisk parliamentary drill
Monday,' and tbat boiuq lessons will le
learned that-will he remembered. Whllo
this is rather indefinite they seem con
fident of their ability to Win out.
Tho-realJighL will lake, place next
Monday morning, however, and little Is
to be gained or lost by either side by
extensive preliminary talk. Most bt
the Juniors have their minds made up
as to what course to puisuo and will
not ho shaken in their stand. It may
bo that the-meeting will bo taken up In
fruitless- wrangling? but in. the inter
ests of both sides, of the class and of
tho president-elect, 1 is hoped that
such will not be the case. Means may
Co fpund to block the proceedings, so
thajt an investigation showing whether
fraud was actually practiced or not,
maybe staved off,.
'fr fraud has be'on practiced, It should
bo brought to light If it lies within
the power of the class to expose It.
The Interests of the president-elect
Interests of the ( lass Rut at the same
time tho Investigation tan bo conduct
ed in such a manner that all can obtain-
justlcr; Unless an Investigation
Is held iheio will be a doubt existing
whU h will forever give rise to discus
sion nnd peculation Any Mich doubt,
if allowed to stand undisturbed, would
be a disnrdit to tho class. And It
would indeed be an elegant thing for
the "piffenT .Tnnirrr-rlmre to stand forth
unique in tho "history of our institu
tion as the class that allowed a charge
of illegal rleition to stand without at
least polling the matter to the bottom.
Ready for Hockey.
At a girl-' mass meeting in Me
morial hall chterday Mrs. Dr. Clapp
announced that the hockey-sticks had
anived and that the first game would
be played Monday. 4il 1 o'dockQn. the
athletic field. Mrs. Clapp, assisted by
Miss Towne, rx)laincd the game to tho
girls and squads were arranged where
by all will be enabled to play In turn.
Much interest 1s manifested In the new
game and without doubt the undertak
ing will moot the hearty approval of
all lnterrsted In Unhcrsity nffaiis. A
game of this f-ort has been a long-felt
want in girls' athletics and it is only
through perplstent efforts of Mrs. Clapp
and the kindness of tho athletic board
that the intioductlon of hockey has
been made possible al this time. It
will be given itb fiist trial next Mon
day when two nquads will line up at 1
o'clock.
Leiderkranz Started Again.
Arrangements hawi been completed
whereby the popular German chorus of
last year will again be oiganl.ed. Pro
fessor Fossler Is at the head of the
movement and the piospects for a
large chorus are exceedingly promis
ing. I aBt year there were about 150
voltes In the Liederkianz and the
t'hnnc.fs are good for a miu h larger
number this year.
Tho first meeting will be held next
Friday at 1 o'clock In the chapel. The
book to be used Ts "VOlKslterter." Pro
fessor Fossler requests that all come
piovlded with a book so that singing
may commence at once. A competent
leader will have charge of the class.
The book costs 35 cents and may be ob
tained at the University Book Store.

WILL PLAY FAIR ALUMNUS HONORED
Denver Management Says No John A. Woodward is Candidate
Professionalism Practiced.
The football team Is now in Dener
in readiness to fight the good fight this
afternoon. They arrived at their des
tination shortly after neon yesterday
and have had twenty-four hours to get
into trim. If any such action is ncces
sary. The men made tho trip In good
shape and nre prepared to show their
mettle when they line up this after
noon. Aeeoidlng to the press dispatches
much surprise Is expressed by the Den
ver management because of the reports
of professionalism that have been sent
out from there and penetrated to our
midst They have explanations for the
presence of all the men on tho team,
iyid as far as can be Judged, they seem
plausible. The news value of a charge
of professionalism against any team is
considered great and a sensation can
bo worked up in this way. Speculation
is given rise to and curiosity is aroused
especially at tho rival institution. As
far as tne temporary value of the arti
cle 1b concerned. It doesn't matter llf
It isn't strictly true. V
Roth the Star and the Evening News
will receive bulletins flora Denver this
afternoon, and the results as soon as
they arrive will be displayed at con
venient plnces about town and ut the

shattered remains that the first team
climbs, and the crowd ought U-eome
out to seo them perrornTWlfen they
