It is desired that the, filling up of programs in advance of tho danoe be dispensed with entirely.

ENG WIRING CAUCUS IS PROBABLE Upper Classmen to Unite on One Can didate to Retrieve Lost Class Appointments. "It novor rains but It pours." ThlB old adage has again proven )ts voracity. This time It is In tho political cir cles pf tho university. A third candi date is out for the presidency of tho senior clasB for the coming somostqr. Yesterday J. A. Scotney announced that he was an aspirant for presiden tial honors and stated that ho had started his campaign. Tho other two candidates for this office are W. A. Jones and Jess Clark, both of whom announced their candidacy a couplo of days ao. Scotney, who Is tho third candidate, Is registered In tho collogo of arts and science, but Is taking the six-year law course of tho university. Jiq Is pap tain of tho Pershing Rifles and of com pany I In the cadet battalion. He Is a member of the Palladlan Literary So ciety, but as a barb ho says ho Is not baoked by any "clique." Ho has been very -active in class politics ovor slnco he entered school, and Is now asking tho support of his classmates in this campaign for class honors. Caucus Possible, That the announcement of a third candidate has created, a large amount of interest among tho mombers of tho senior class has been noticed and tho action of the engineers in supporting tho other two candidates has yot to be heard from. A prominent engineor stated yesterday when only two can didates were out that the action of the class In that college would depond upon whether a third man came out or npt. If- a candidate announced him self It was highly possible that a cau cus of- tho engineers would be held in order to detormino which of the twa engineering candidates they would support Tho engineers fool that in the past that they havo, lost out on tholr share of clqsf honors, because there were so many strong men wb,q wore candi dates for, varlouq offices and tyls caused a split in that college and, con sequently thoyy lost PM on. ctyl8 hon ors., tf ow. that a, third candldcito has boon, announced, ty is; highly, probable, that a caucus of tho engineers. wJH bo, held, and tbo upnort pf th,, somqr in, that college;, wll be. cen.tqro.d.

The" pdlltlcatsituation in the Juntaf class as yet has not takorf any defi nite shape, but rumors of tho candl- daoy of. one of the' prominent "barbM mombers 6t tho' class has been current about the campus for the past two days. This man is seriously consid ering tho matter and will announce his intentions in a few days. The politicians of tho various classes in the university have aroused unusual interest .this year in, political anairs on account of the early cam paigning as the senior election 'as yet is about six weeks' distant and- the Junior lectio U (o;bo held aWui a week later, SORORITY HOUSE IS AUDACIOUSLY ROBBED ALPHA PHI RE8IDEN0E SCENE OF BURGLAR'8 REVELRY.
