              TRIBUNE A DAILY DURING '21 PROM
Journalism Co - Eds Will
Publish Six Special
Editions of Paper.
   Precedent at Marquette will again be broken at the 1921 Junior Prom. A daily special edition of The Marquette Tribune will appear as a feature of the festivities to inform the participants of all that takes place during the Prom. Miss Ruth Kane, Ironwood, Mich., is chairman of the all-Joumalist co-ed information and publicity committee in charge of this feature and her plans call for a special issue each day of The Tribune, setting forth each day's events, the issues to be circulated free of charge at all occasions.
Daily Prom Reports.
   The men journalists of Marquette are co-operating with the co-ed committee to make this venture a success, and according to Miss Kane, the appearance of the special is assured. Plans have been made for its publication at the Marquette University Press. Among its features will be a daily contest, stories of each day's festivities, news of the preceeding day, review of notable and prominent guests and many other Prom features not yet worked out in de-
   "While a regular daily Tribune may be a reality in the future, conditions do not yet warrant such a venture, except as a special effort, and we will try our best to fill the need of such a paper for this year's 1 PJtom," says Miss Kane.
   Members of the committee include, beside Miss Kane, the Misses Leonore Kadow, Manitowoc; Amy Bolger, Es- canaba, Mich.; Ann Gonner, Dubuque, la.; Grace Burns, Chicago, 111.: Louise Doelger, Genevieve Niland and Annette Snapper, Milwaukee, all Journalists.

UNION CONSTITUTION BALLOT
RESULT TO BE KNOWN SOON
    Within a few days the result of
the departmental balloting upon the
proposed Marquette Union constitu-
tion will be published. The Med-
school is the only depart-
ment that has not yet cast its ballot.
Balloting by the Medics is sched-
uled for the last of the week. Bal-
loting in the other departments took
place previous to the Christmas hol-
idays.
    After the result has been deter-
mined, the present executive com-
mittee will appoint two students
from the upper classes in each de-
partment. The inter-departmental
election of one of these two will
mke place next week. Each depart-
mental delegate will become a mem-
" r of the executive committee. Of-
tieers of that organization will be
elected within the next two weeks.
   The Yale dining hall, the largest
?Ud most elaborate college eating
eadauarters in the country, has been
e*08ed because of lack of patronage.
MOVIE BENEFIT FOR
MARQUETTE GLEE CLUB
   At last we have it! Just think, a chance to help the Marquette Glee club and everybody can help. One need not be able to dance, sing, play or speak, to do one's part this time. All that's necessary is to go to the movies. Could anything be easier? It's the week just before Lent that the benefit is going to be given at the Saxe theaters. The benefit is for the annual Glee club trip. The tickets are 40 cents and must be purchased at the Marquette bookstore, at any of the fraternity houses or the Union house. The tickets are good for any night except Sunday at any of the Saxe theaters.
So don't forget the Glee club in taking in the last movie before Lent.
Dates Are February 3, 4 and 5 and Technical Talks WilUBe Feature of Program.
  s
   The annual home-coming of Marquette university engineers will be held this year on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 3, 4 and 5. The arrangements already completed indicate an affair outclassing any previous home-coming of the University's engineers.
   Alumni of the Marquette school of engineering and present students make up the committee, which consists of James Howard, T6; A. C. Kurtz, '14; John A. Schoen, '19; Joseph D. Bonness, '22; Philip E. Carey, '21; with Dean J. C. Pinney and Prof. G. A. Scarcliff as faculty advisors.
Inspection Trips.
   In addition to addresses on technical subjects connected with the engineering profession, the committee is arranging for inspection tours to Milwaukee plants that will afford the visitors interesting and instructive views of some of the biggest establishments of the country.
   The opening event of the 1921 home-coming will be a dance by the Marquette Engineering association at the Knights of Columbus hall Thursday evening, Feb. 3. Thi will be for members of the association and for alumni.
   Friday morning will be given over to inspection trips, the afternoon- to technical talks. In the evening there will be one of the famous engineers' smokers at Gesu hall a get-together for alumni and present students. The closing event will be the banquet Saturday evening in the Fern room of the Pfister hotel.
   The home-cpming is the biggest affair on the Marquette engineers' calendar, and it is one of the biggest affairs in the University's yearly schedule. Notice of the home-coming has been sent to all alumni engineers, no matter where they are, even to those now in China, in Peru and other South American republics. In this day it gives valuable publicity to Marquette.
MILWAUKEE POLICEMEN ARE NOT BIG ENOUGH!
UNION PLANS HOME-COMING
FOR NOTRE DAME'S COMING
The Marquette Union plans a big
home-coming of alumni on the day
next fall when Notre Dame meets
Marquette on the gridiron here. A
theatrical performance is one feature
of the tentative program. Cards
will be sent out soon to alumni, so
it can be ascertained how many of
the old boys will be able to attend
the home-coming.
    Milwaukee policemen are husky
men, of ample height, generous
width of shoulder and generous pro-
portions in general, especially in
girth. Nevertheless, they are not
big enough. None of them are big
enough to have clothes that will
fit three Marquette students who
will be policemen for a night, the
night of the Prom play, "Officer
666."
    Bill Barnett, "Red" Nelson and
Frank Linnan are 6 feet and 4 inches
tall and "considerable" in other di-
rections. In vain has Gregory
Gramling, play manager, visited ten
..costumers' establishments and the
homes of fifty Milwaukee cops: he
can't find policemen's uniforms into
which it would be possible to squeeze
any of these three members of the
cast.
    Nor does the manager's troubles
end here. He can't find a uniform
tc fit another Marquette student
who is scheduled to play policemen
in "Officer 666," Edward Clemens,
who is 4 feet and 6 inches in height.
  Bill Elsen was one of the lucky
fifty who was mentioned in the
Wisconsin News Better Baby con-
test from a field of several hun-
dred candidates throughout the
state.
  No, it is not the old Bill Elsen
who was a Marquette football star
m the days of Bo Hanley, Lee
Foley and others but his three-
year-old son, who promises some
day to follow in his daddy's foot-
steps at the tackle position on a
Marquette football team.
  The babies were examined by
specialists in every part of the
babies' anatomy from pink toes to
as is the case with Bill Elsen, sr
as is the case with Bill Elsen, jr.
His father and mother who live
at 1375 Twenty-eighth street, Mil-
waukee, are very proud of their
son and are planning big things
for him, if the girls do not get
him first, including of course, en-
trance to Marquette.
PROM PLAY PICTURE
WILL HELP AUSTRIAN
Unusual Story About Marquette
Law Student Who Will Aid
Starving Vienna Man.
   Alfred Ecks, Milwaukee man and
Senior in the Marquette University
Law school, has been given a place
among American philanthropists,
and all because his picture as chair-
man of the Marquette 1920 Junior
Prom play appeared in the Milwau-
kee Herold on April 18, 1920. .
This is the way it came about:
   A copy of the Herold containing
Mr. Eck's picture, together with
those of Herbert Hirschboek and
Roland Steinle, also 1920 Prom play
leaders, in due season reached a sub-
scriber in Berlin, Germany. A few
months after the picture had ap-
peared, this Herold reader in Berlin
sent a package to a friend in Vienna,
Austria, and used the Prom play
issue of the Milwaukee newspaper
to wrap around the bundle.
Asks for Food Drafts.
   The Vienna man, by name Hein-
rich Johann Eschelmann saw the
Marquette Prom play chairman's
picture. The young American stu-
dent evidently looked good to him,
benevolent as well as prosperous.
Perhaps he saw a resemblance in
the law student's countenance to
that of Herbert Hoover, who had
saved so many starving people from
death. At any rate, sharing the
general European belief that all
Americans are rich and generous,
Herr Eschelmann wrote to Mr. Ecks
and asked him for food drafts, ex-
plaining the scarcity of food and
the prohibitively high prices of the
necessities of life in the Austrian
capital.
   Now Alfred Ecks is an average
Hilltopper, which means that he is
not as wealthy as the Vienna man
imagines him to be. But he is as
generous as the Austrian thinks he
is, and though he cannot expend a
large sum of money, he is going to.
be a philanthropist nevertheless., He
is going to interest the cast of the
1921 Prom nlay in the appeal of
Heinrich Johann Eschelmann and
send him food drafts.
   The enrollment of the University
of Missouri is 5,334.

TWENTY APPLY DAILY
TO ENTER DENT SCHOOL
   As the result of an incorrect announcement to the effect that the Marquette Dental school would receive additional students at the beginning of the second semester, the registrar's office is receiving an average of twenty letters daily from prospective students.
   Each applicant is sent a bulletin and the information that no new students will be enrolled until the beginning of the regular fall term in October, 1921.
   Earl Carter, Freshman, is being detained at his home in Green Bay, Wis., owing to the sickness of his father.
   Ill health has compelled G. J. Wentz, Freshman, to give up his studies for the present.
WITHOUT COMMENT.
   Circulation Manager Doelger was
greatly interested in an item which
came to the exchange desk of The
Trib yesterday. According to To-
peka papers, one of the old resi-
dents believes in keeping in touch
w'th mundane affairs throughout
life-even to the life after ;fe-
because he las paid lor J9 year.--'
subscription to have the paper de-
livered daily to his electrically
'ighted burial vault.
   Miss Doelger passes the sugges-
tion to the students without com-
ment.
