the floor making out dance programs,
asking the senior girls for dances and
taking their girls over to a cold drink
stand for a lime or a “coke.”
The prom this year was better than
usual, according to old timers on the
University campus. Some of the girls
discarded all feminine attire and don-
ned full dress suits while others not
quite so bold contented themselves
with painting mustaches on their up-
per Bp or sticking a cigarette or pipe
in their mouth and jauntily saunter-
ing across the floor in the grand march.
The girls had a large number of spec-
tators watching their performance in
the hosts cf male students who crowd-
ed the windows and doors of the gym-
nasium to see how ther girl friends
appeared as mere "men."

Mr. White also expressed the idea
that an immediate cafipaign should be
made to lay facts before the people
of Austin declaring that voters gen-

Two University co-eds startled
pedestrians along Guadalupe Street
Tuesday night as they paraded the
main thoroughfare of the University
section dressed in white skirts, dark
coats, with new strhw hats on their
heads, canes in their hands and Italian
briar pipes in their mouths. Doubt-
less everyone, who met the co-eds on
the walk had read of women smoking
pipes, but few had actually witnessed
fair co-eds with pipes stuck between
their teeth before.
The observers were relieved to find
that no blue smoke was being emitted
from the pipes/ For the two fair co-
eds were on their way to the Uni-
versity woman’s gymnasium to par-
ticipate in the junior prom and were
"8tagging” it, just another indication
that men no longer can lay claim on
that right as an exclusive one.
The junior prom by way of explana-
tion is the annual dance given by the
girls of the junior class at which the
senior girls of the University are
guests. The juniors "doll’ up as men
and make dates with the senior girls
to escort them to the dance. It’s lots
of fun, as several co-eds Tuesday
night remarked, and it’s likewise lots

plan of government was effective in
getting affairs of a city free from po-
litical influence and alignments and
placing them on a business basis. He
cited the fact that its adoption by 331
cities was proof of its efficiency.
"Seventy-six cities are known to
have abandoned the city manager plan
and investigation shows that many of
these cities abandoned it because It
had been adopted by ordinance and
later another ordinance repealing it
was adopted,” Mr. Johnson declared.
"Suppose the city manager plan, if
adopted here, is found to be unsuited
to Austin’s needs, how are you going
to get rid of that system,” Mr. John-
son was asked.
“In the same way that you adopt the
system,” he declared.
Mr. Johnson then declared that the
city manager plan would have to be
adopted by amending the present city
charter by substituting the city man-
ager form for the commission system
of government. In the same manner
the city manager plan would be
abandoned only by amending the city
charter a second time. Which means

Before the meeting Tuesday Adam
R. Johnson announced that the Cham-
ber of Commerce would not enter the
fight for the city manager plan as an
organization as it had rinished Its part
tn the campaign In the referendum of
its members to asceratn how they
stood on the proposition. With a vote
of practically 11 to 1 for the proposi-
tion. the Chamber of Commerce will
recommend to the citizens club that
the city manager plan be adopted.
Mr.'Johnson sold he received a let-
ter Tuesday from officials at Dayton,
Ohio, the first city to adopt the com-
mission-Manager form of government,
advismg that the city manager plan is
still In successful operation there. It
had been reported In Austin previously
that Dayton had abandoned the city
manager plan, Mr. Johnson raid.
Mr. Johnson declared that the com-
mission-manager type of government
was the most erticient plan yet de-
vised for the government of the mod-
ern city. He declared the trend of the
times was to get everything out of
politics and that the city manager

The state has also upward of $10,-

special funds, which, however, has no
connection with general revenue fund.
Of this amount $5,000,000 is on de-
posit at 4 per cent in the 116 state
depositories and $4,090,000 has been
invested in liberty bonds and other
government securities drawing 4% and

may be converted into cash on short
notice.
Proposal to call a mass meeting of
citizens interested In the city manager
plan for Austin probably Friday night
is the latest development In the city
manager educational campaign which
was formally started Tuesday night
with the organization of the City Man-
ager Club in a meeting of fifty promi-
nent citizens at the Driskill.
Announcement that the meeting will
likely be held Friday night was made
Wednesday morning by Charles B.
Cook, who was Tuesday night chosen
president of the newly formed club.
Airs. Noyes D. Smith was elected sec-
retary. These two officers were se-
lected by a nominating committee
comprising Ireland Graves, Mra. R. L.
Bewley and L. J. Schneider, who were
appointed by D. K. Woodward presid-
ing as temporary chairman.
Mr. Woodward also delegated the
nominating ‘committee to select an ex-
ecutive committee but Mr. Graves ex-
plained that the committee desire time
sufficient to make the selections wise-
ly and for that reason would announce
the personnel of the executive com-
mittee later. Following the appoint-
ment of the executive committee, ths
mass meeting of citizens will be called,
it was announced- President Cook
stated Wednesday that the definite
date for the meeting will be announced
Thursday morning and indicated that
the convocation will likely be held on
Friday night.
During the meeting Tuesday night
talks were made by Charles B. Potts
of the University law school. President
Adam R. Johnson of the Chamber of
Commerce, A. C. Baldwin, Ike D.
White, Mrs. Percy V. Pennybaeker,
Mrs. R. L. Bewley, Mrs. A. O. Sandbo,
Eldred McKinnon, Ben C. Sievers, Q.
C. Taylor and others.
Dr. Potts pointed out that the city
manager plan of government in a city
is similar in operation to a school
board. He pointed out that Austin has
been fortunate in having had an effi-
cient educator at the head of its school
system for twenty years and promi-
nent men and women on the school
board who are serving without pay.
Mr. Johnson reported the result of
the referendum recently taken by the
Chamber of Commerce on the question
and stated that out of 500 ballots re-
ceived only forty-nine were returned
unfavorable to the plan. He stated
the Chamber of Commerce as an or-
ganization has ceased to take part in
the campaign and was now passing the
recommendation of its members
through the referendum to the citizens
of Austin for their ratification or re-
jection. He pointed out gthat the
Chamber of Commerce is not a polit-
ical organization and would take no
part in a political campaign incident
to spreading the gospel of the city
manager plan.
Mr.-Baldwin .declared that the pres-
ent form of government was a fine
thing at the time of its adoption, but
that the time has come when a change
must be made because the present sys-
tem of government has outlived its
usefulness in Austin. The speaker
insisted on the aecessity of making an
educational campaign immediately to
present facts of the proposed change
In the form of government before the
people. He declared that officials at
the city hall have already started a
campaign based on the claim that the
city manager plan of government is
an autocratic system and is a one-man
