TAKES FLING AT THE STATE
Sorry Kansas Has Been so Slow in Providing For Its Women in The University.
Andrew Carnegie has sent his check for $75,000 to the University of Kansas with which to build a dormitory for women.
This information was received by Dr. Alberta Corbin this morning in a letter from the multi-millionaire. It came unsolicited.
"It gives me pleasure to aid in such a worthy undertaking," wrote the canny Scot. "The young women of the University ought to be given every advantage. You have chemistry, mining, law, engineering, physics and shop buildings, all primarily for men. Regretting the failure of your great and prosperous state, a state I believe that is richer per capita than any other state. My wife and I have your state has not provided you young women with at least one building you may call your own, I am glad to enclose my cheek."
Then she looked up from the letter and her eyes fell on the calendar.
Miss Corbin received the letter at nine o'clock this morning.
THE AGED MUST DIGUP
Body
No Junior Pension Prom System for Permanent Student
The managers of the Junior Prom have decreed that all P.S.B.'s, attending the Prom will be charged a $2.00 fee. In the ranks of the P.S.B.'s, are included all those who have attended two Proms.
Formerly those remaining in school have often attended three or even four Proms with the payment of but one fee but the managers have decided this one that one fee entitles a student to two prom fees. In deciding decision that all P. S. B.S. must pay a two dollar fee which is $1.50 less than the Juniors pay.

MARCH 1912 WAS THE VERY WETTEST MONTH
Most Precipitation Since Uni versity Bureau Was Started in '68
TWO OTHER RECORDS BROKEN
TO ELECT TENANTS FOR HALL OF FAME
Highest Humidity and Lowest Temperature Recorded—No Earthquakes and Little Wind
According to the reports of F. W. Bruckmiller, weather recorder at the University, March has been a history maker for the weather bureau and leaves the weather-world with three new honors.
The total rainfall for the month, 8.84 inches, is not only the heaviest for March, but also the heaviest recorded for any other month since 1868. With the Meter twins the month has been unusually severe, the tempature of Mr. Thermo registering a mean temperature of 31.9, the lowest on record.
The humidity of the atmosphere for the month, due to the unusual precipice conditions, was 77.65, being exceeded only once in a percentage of 86.5 h on March 1899.
Notwithstanding the old tradition, the lion and the lamb came in and went out together, and to all appearances reached a compromise on the total weather output for the month, for while making three new records in the weather-world it has at the same time been unusually calm and no earthquakes have been recorded during the month.
ZOOLOGISTS WILL CONVENE
The central branch of the American Central Society of Zoologists will hold its fourth spring meeting at Urbana, Illinois, April 4, 5, and 6. Prof. W. J. Baumgartner will attend the meeting and read two papers, the first on "Spermatogenesis in the Gryllidae," the second on "The Puget Sound Marine Station."

In The Judgment Seat
Seniors Will Decide Who Are Their Most Human Beings
TIS A JAYHAWKER FEATURE
Voting Tuesday and Wednesday Provision is Made for Absolute Honesty in Counting Ballots.
The members of the senior class will decide ten weighty quesitions by ballot, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The ballots containing the ten questions have been printed and a member of the Annual Board will be at the old check stand during chapel time on the two days mentioned, to judge the voting and see that the ballot box is not stuffed.
1. The man in the senior class who has done the most for the University of Kansas.
These are the propositions which the seniors have been asked to decide.
11. The laziest man.

After class duties were over one day last week, Susie, big muligone of the Ki Yi sorority and candidate for class honors in psychology, left her sisters at home and to take a walk about the campus.
III. The most popular man.
IV. The "Beau Brummel" of the *bull*
Her work, however, weighted heavily upon her, and she soon turned her steps toward Spooner library. After skipping through the magazines, she went back into the stacks in search of a treatise on the psychology of hypnotism. She became so interested that 6 o'clock came and the doors of the stack rooms were closed upon her.

The Weather.
In spite of the damp weather prevailing today the Meter Twins, Baro and Thermo, confidently predicted a fair day tomorrow. The Twins expect sunshine but very little change in temperature.
merely scratched on the door which was soon oovened.
Two of the Pi Phi girls saw the little dog as she rather shemafelessly came out of her brief imprisonment. They coaxed her home with them, fearing that she might fall into evil habits. Susie kept the Pi Phi girls awake all night, helping suffrage ideas at them. As soon as day broke, Susie was conscience stricken over the way she had left home, and hurried away to set her sisters' fears at rest. The latter had been up all night worrying about their absent sister, first, because of the many threats which have lately been made against her, and second, because Susie had never been known to stay
WHY WILL MEN KICK HATS
ON THE FIRST OF APRIL?
The ancient near-joke of placing a brick under a derby hat was given a slightly different turn this morning as students over in the Chemistry building,
They placed a brick under the hat an other one near it. Everyone that came along, thinking that the logical place for a brick on April Fool's day is at home, did it up only to be greeted by the derivative peers of the chemists and pharmacies.
MINERS MAY GET THETA TAU CHAPTER
Their Petition Received Favably by National Fraternity--Installation April 19
Word was received by the members of Tunnel and Shaft, the local organization among the mining engineering students, from the national president of Theta Tau, a national fraternity of engineers that the petition for membership that was tendered the society about a month ago in all probability would be granted.
There are six members of the national organization and five have voted favorably on the petition of Tunnel and Shaft. A three quarters majority is necessary for election to membership in the organization.
It was stated this afternoon by one of the members of the local organization that tentative plans had been made for the installation of the national chapter here on April 12, but that Tunnel and Shaft had asked to be joined up with the senior Prom. It is thought now that the installation and initiation of the new organization will be held here on Anril 19.

TO CLASS IN PUGET SOUND'S LABORATORY
Biology Students Under Professor Baumgartner Will Make Annual Trip
COST OF JAUNT IS ABOUT $140
Will Travel by Special Car to Coast— Via Canadian Rockies Where Glacier Will be Studied.
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner will take a party of biology teachers and students to the Marine Station on Puget Sound this summer on a trip similar to that which has been taken for the last three years.
This year, the party will go by special car through the Canadian Rockies, making four stops to see places of interest, the snow peaks and water falls. One day will be spent in climbing a glacier and studying its structure. Together with this, the trip will be through the most beautiful mountain scenery, the "Switzerland of America."
IUNIVERSITY CREDIT GIVEN
At the Marine Station, courses in zoology and botany will be taken under conditions that must inspire the knowledge that can only be obtained by observation and hard work. These courses will deal with the very rich fauna and flora of the many islands of the Sound.
Before starting on the trip the students who desire credit for the work done will be required to register here with a check amount of credit given is six hours.
The teachers who go on the trip will be enabled to collect zoology and botany material for use in their schools. On the former trips, some of the students work in a part of their expenses by selling the material collected to their schools.
PARTY STARTS JUNE 14
The necessary outlay for the whole trip will be about $135 to $145. Professor Baumgartner says that this amount allows liberally for incidentals as shown by experiences on the previous trips.
The party will start about June 14 and the tickets will be good until October. Stop-overs will be allowed wherever desired. Although the party will take a special car out to Puget Sound individuals will be allowed to return over any road they desire. About seventy people have already signified their intention of joining the party.

At Methodist Church Yesterday he Outlined the Forces That Are Dethroning Mars.
The modern movement for world wide peace, as outlined in a talk by Prof. C. A.
