MEN BARRED FROM
PRYTANEAN CIRCUS
Women Students Surprise the
Campus by Announcing
Daring Show

BERKELEY, Jan. 21.-The members
of the Prytanean society of the univer-
sity startled the campus this morning
by an announcement that they would
give real circus with tight rope
walkers, jugglers, aeroplane races,
trapeze performers and chariot races
and the rest of the paraphernalia of the
up to date circus. Needless to say the
men students will be barred from the
first womens circus given on the canl-
pus, and there is much clamoring for
first hand information a to the nature
of the circus and the women per-
formers, but the bars have been raised
and the men will only know of the
actions of the women in the three
wings through women friends and rela-
tives.
The men will not be entirely shut
out of the affairs of the Prytanean So
eiety, which is planning a big day Feb
ruary in Harmon gymnasium, and
Tor their especial benefit a Mardi Gras
and masquerade will be given the night
of the day set aside for the circus.
The women, however, claim the right
of furnishing the men with masks for
the occasion. and all who do not re-
ceive masks at the door will be barred
from the ballroom. Just why this reg
ulation was made is a matter of curios-
ity on the campus among the men who
declare they have been left out in the
cold in the arrangements of the Pry-
taneans but yet are expected to fill
handsomely the purse of the society.
The circus and Mardi Gras which will
end with battle with confetti, will
be given for the benefit of the students
infirmary and hall fund of the senior
women, in shares of one-third to the
former and two-thirds to the latter.
That the most elaborate preparations
are being made for the fete, the first
of its nature on the campus, is evil
denced by the appointment by Presi-
