YORK OFFERS GOOD BONUS
Cadets Are Beginning to Look Favor-
ably ah the Proposition Because
of Liberal TermsAfter-
noon and Evening Off.
. Lieutenant Bowman outlined the
proposed cadet encampment to half of.
tho companies last night. Ho -will talk
to the othera tonight. The Command
ant wished It to bo well understood
that ho took no part In the circulating
of the-former-potitjons: Theso-petP-
tions, secured under criticised meth
ods, ,havo been declared, null and void.
.Entirely now petitions will bo circu
lated after the cadets become familiar
with the proposal. lieutenant Bow
man urged the cadets to tako a stand
definitely on ono sldo or tho othor;
to sign or not to sign according to
individual convictions, and then to
. everlastingly keop their1 peace.
If 85 per cent of tho cadets sign tho
-petition Lieutenant Bowman will pre
sent tho petition In person to tho Uni
versity Senate. Camp wilj then be
compulsory. If less than thiB number
sign, he will drop the matter for this
year.
Tho Commandant paints a rosy plc
. turo concerning camp. It will bo
either at Loavenworth. Kansas, or at
York. York offers favorablo location
and a good bonus besides. Camp will
have many attractions. There will bo
but ono "hike," In the morning.
Afternoons and evenings will bo left
to tho pleasure of the soldier boys.
Shower baths will be installed for
each company and for tho officers.
Regular military discipline will bo
tho rule. .There will be no running
tho guard lines, and no howling and
yelling all night long. If anyone feels
that ho must stay out later than
"taps" ho will bo allowed to do so
on permission, but not otherwise.
And if anyone fools that ho must flro
off a gun or yell all night ho may do
so on permission only. But woo bo
unto him that doeth aught ho shouldn't
without permission.

pressed by tho cadetp it sdoms that

JUNIOR PLAY TICKETS
GOING VERY SLOWLY
Business Manager Northrup States
Plainly That the Junior Class
. Must Get Busy.
Owing to tho fact that tho Junior
Play is forced to enter Into competi
tion with OtiB Skinner, Eva Tanguay,
and tho formal season; "Thor-Man
From Homo" promises to bo a finan
cial failure unless the Junior class
comes forward to back the. thing with
tho support they owe it. Tho play
that bids fair to bo ono of the greatest
artlBtic successes of years Is 'walking
straight into financial failuro because
tho student body as a whole, as well
as tho Junior class, who ought to be
uajjcuiuiiy iitiuruateu, are giving tnoir
support u proftaHluiml cumpanluB
rather than to their own University
talent.
"Tho Man From Home" is an ex
ceptional play, the cast is, as every
one knows, composed of somo of tho
best talent in tho University. Only
ono man in a secondary part had to be
dropped from tho cast after tho play
was udder rohoarsal, and no effort has
beon spared to give the play an ade
quate setting: JrctT-ln Bplto-of-all"
this, the lethargy onthe part of tho
student body in supporting this per-
-formanco has been appalling. Up to
last night scarcely a hundred dollars
worth of tickets had been sold.
Ralph Northrup, tho business mana
ger, says: "I want to put this mat
ter fairly and squarely before tho
Junior class, and I want them to real
ize that it is not upon tho cctBtilr the
play committee, or tho business mana
ger that tho success of this play do-
penas, out upon tho members of tho
clasB themselves. -I -want them
know .beforehand what thoy can rx
poct if they do not tako it upon thf m
solves to make this thing a .'.sandal
success. It means a dobt, and a big
ono, that will merely, havo to bo
snouiaered later."
