UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 19, 1912
SEN. YOUNG EXTOLS KANSAS GRADUATES
Exhorts Students to Help Maintain Standard of Excellence Set in Past
WOULD BANISH THE INGRATES
Says Students Who Fail in Obligation To State Should be Sent to Siberia.
State Senator P. C. Young, a graduate of the University with the class of 1882, spoke in chapel this morning.
"The University of Kansas has made good," said Senator Young, "there never has been a breath of suspicion against the graduates of the institution. Alumni are now governors, senators and legislators, and hold many other positions of trust and honor. It is your duty to thank this excellent record continues."
The speaker expressed satisfaction at the excellent location of the University, "Lawrence was wisely chose nas the home of Kansas University. The traditions of this old city help make this location a good one."
"The early settlers of Kansas unsatisfy set aside land for institutions of learning before they had proper shelter for their families. The state has a right to demand that all you students give back in service all the principal invested together with accrued interest."
"The state expects you to be men and women in the best and fullest sense and anyone who fails in meeting this obligation to the state would have no right to object if he were banished to Siberia for life."
FELLOWSHIP WILL BE
CONTINUED THIRD YEAR
Chancellor Strong Receives Wrote From R. K. Dunean That Karpen Fellowship Will Go On.
Chancellor Frank Strong received word yesterday from Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan, that the firm of Messrs. Karpen & Brothers have expressed their desire and intention of continuing the Karpen Fellowship in the next year. The present fellowship does not expire until the first of July.
Professor Brock has a process whereby he can veneer and polish oak at the same time, the entire process requiring only ten minutes.
"The progress of the work is evidently satisfactory to the company," said Professor Redman, "and they have asked permission to continue the Fellowship another year so can bring the work to completion."
The three men who hold the fellowship are L. V. Redman, F. P. Brock, and A. J. Weith. Professor Brock is working upon synthetic plastics which can be molded in any form, and Professor Redman is working on the manufacture and improvement of the material. Professor Weith is working on paints and lacquers.
SENIOR PLAY TRYOUT
Cast Will Be Selected Tonight- Play Is to Be Entirely
Local
The tryout for the senior play will be held tonight at 7:15 o'clock in Fraser Hall.
'The senior play will absolutely be out on time,' said Manager "Spec" Brumage when interviewed in regard to the report published in the Kansan last night. 'No play has ever been put on the stage at the University in less than three weeks from the time of the tryout and as our play is made up entirely of local hits, it will be especially easy to stare.
"As I said," continued Mr. Brumage, the scene of the play is entirely on Mount Oread, and is composed of local hits. Everybody will be stung," "Spee" added in a sinister way, especially "some persons."

AUDIENCE CLAMORS FOR MORE ENCORES
First Recital-Concert of Music Festival Gratifies Appreciative Listeners
LAST CONCERT THIS EVENING
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
Lawrence Ladies Chorus and Three
Solosists Will Play and Sing
Only the gentle and courteous refusal of Namara-Toye and Willy Lamping to continue singing and playing persuaded the audience in Robinson gymnasium to leave after the first recital-concert of the ninth annual Music Festival.
Madame Namara-Toye pleased her audience at once and upon her second number she was forced to give an encore, whether or no. Then she turned away from the more difficult measures and made classical by her interpretation, one of the songs of her native land, "Comin' Thru" the Rye." And later, at the repeated requests of her audience she sang with her own accompaniment "Annie Laurie," and others of the simple folk-songs whose cadence she made beautiful.
Mr. Lamping was also kind in giving an extra number before the close of the concert at the personal request of Dean Skilton. His concert in Aminor, Allegro Moderato and Andante Moderato by Göttermann, won the hearts of the entire audience—at the close, it seemed to everyone that the music was destiny's magic claim that had been woven and several moments elapsed before the audience could believe that it was completed.
CONCERTS TODAY
The concert this afternoon was started at 2:30. This concert was given by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Emil Oberhoffer, conductor, and three soloists, Richard Czerwonky, violin; Carl A. Preyer, pianist, and C. Edward Hubach, 'enor.
The last concert of the festival will begin at 8:15 o'clock this evening. It will be given by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, The Lawrence Ladies Chorus, and three soloists, Lucille Stevenson, soprano, Genevieve Wheat, contralto, and Horatio Connell, baritone.
The chorus this evening will be in two parts. Part one consists of a symphony in E minor, "From the New World" by the orchestra and a contralto solo, "O don fatale" from "Don Carlos" by Genevieve Wheat.
In part two the orchestra will play the overture to "The Flying Dutchman," symphonic poem by J. B. Sharp, and the guitarist Dean Skilton, and "Invitation to the Dance." There will also be solos and choral music accompanied by the orchestra.
REVENGE ON GROUND HOG
Zoology III Students Are Cutting Him Up in Little Pieces
Professor Baumgartner's zoologists have captured the ground hug and are studying his nervous systems, but they have not yet succeeded in finding the faculty which enabled him to give us six weeks more winter, this year.
Spanish Bibles in Greatest Favor
The members of the graduating class at West Point are given bibles annually by the American Tract Society. Each cadet received a copy of the Scriptures in the version he desired. The different versions chosen were: 1 Swedish, 4 French, 9 Lutherized, 9 Douay, 30 American revised, and 43 Spanish.
PROF. CADY WILL TALK
ABOUT THE WEATHER
The class in zoology III is studying mammals and each of the forty members must furnish his own specimen for dissecting. The favorites are dogs, cats, and rabbits, but one member was lucky enough to catch a ground hog.
Prof. H. P. Cady of the Chemistry Department will speak in chapel next Tuesday morning on "Our Climate." Professor Cady will compare our climate with others throughout the world, telling the advantages which it has.
FEAR LENDS WINGS AND B. ROBERTS BROKE RECORD
Bobby Roberts, after stopping in Kansas City to buy a car load of mules for Uncle Sam, is on the campus visiting friends.
They look on surveyors with suspicion in that part of the country, for to them a surveyor is the foremost guide. That would hinder the moonshine industry.
He was in command of a party of sixteen making a topographic survey of the locality in Virginia infested by the notorious Allen family.
Bobby will be remembered as the sterling sprinter of last year's track team, but down in Virginia where he worked last, he broke all the records he ever made on the cinder path.
So when Bob's party first appeared on the hills the word spread hat surveyors were descrenting the and, and in no time the mountaineers gathered with all sorts of artillery.
One of the rod men strayed a short distance from the surveying party. The mountaineers captured him with the idea of practicing on him to get their shooting eyes in good trim. They tied him to a tree when he let up the dirt and Robby to tear up the dirt as he never had a cinder path.
ANNIHILATE LEGUMES MEET IN NEW YORK AT THE BIG POW-WOW AND VISIT CAPITAI
He got there just in the nick of time, and after a parley, wound up the matter by hiring the hostile forces to work for him.
From here Mr. Roberts goes to Minnesota to take charge of a party there.
Bobby says he made the distance from his position to that of the captured one in ten seconds but at that speed he could not worry over the man's safety.
Y. M. C. A. Fabacous Feec Was a Success—Several Talk on Estes Park
In his talk last night Registrar Foster said that last summer he came back from Estes Park with a new vision, realizing more than ever before what he owes to all men. He expressed the hope that he least forty University students would attend the conference next summer. In that case, be said, Mt. Oread would be revolutionized next winter.
At seven o'clock the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting began. The meeting was in the interests of the Rocky Mountain Student Conference held annually at Estes Park, Colorado. At the conference this year a number of widely known men will be present, among those being Mr. Arthur Rugh, secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association in China, Rev. Shailer Mathews of Chicago, Mr. Pred. Smith, secretary of the Religious Work Department of the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association, Dr. Frank Bayley of Denver, A. J. ("Dad") Elliott, and Rev. Sheldon of Topeka.
H. L. Heinzman, state student secretary, said that he was expressing the opinion of hundreds in saying that the summer conference is the greatest thing that can come into a college man's life.
To the tune of "Beans for Breakfast,
beans for dinner, beans for supper,
beans, beans, beans," one hundred
fellowes proceeded to devour the legumes at the fabaverous contest at six o'clock last night in Myers Hall. Great was the destruction, and no wonder, for they were Boston baked beans prepared by the University cafeteria. Besides the beans there were pickles, coffee, doughnuts, and Boston brown bread.
The object of the feed was to bring a large number of men together in an informal way.
Dr. Noble S. Elderin, of Lawrence, told of the Northfield conference which he attended several years ago in the East, at which sixty or seventy eastern towns were served, and said that such experiences serve to hold a man up to the higher levels of life.
Roy Stockwell said that we need something to give us an aim in life which we can harness the training which we receive in the University.

The University Mandolin club will give its first concert since the reorganization, April 24 at 8:30 p. m. i. Fraser Hall.

the most prominent musical organization
on the hill. That was in 1908.
The club was then composed entirely
by young men as none of them came
back, the club, was not organize again
the following year.
The large amount of good material for such an organization on the hill this year made possible the re-organization of the club. The first meeting was held in September, and since that time the club has held weekly rehearsals and has grown in size and talent. This recital will give the students an opportunity to judge the new club.
STUDENT TICKETS ADMIT
While the program will not be entirely classical, the selection includes a number of excellent pieces together with some good rattle. The program will be in two parts, the first consisting of selections by the entire club, and the second of solos, and novelties. One number which is said to be exceptionally good, is the "Barcicle" from "Tales of Hoffman." Another which is said to be quite a sensational novelty, is the "Dance of the Skeletons" by Allen.
Student Enterprise Tickets will be good for this recital, and admission will be fifty cents.
The personnel of the club is John A. Castles, Ray M. McConnel, Harland Heller, William Hoyt, Chris Curry, Dan Hazen, John R. Miller, Harold B. Burd, Clinton G. Armstrong, mandolins; D. Dewitt Mickey, Roy B. Rock, guitars; Lawrence B. Morris tenor mandola; Raph AlStevens, cello; clare B. Poland, flute, Carl Brown, clarinet.

Fowler Shops Ship Barber Pipette Holders to University of Chicago
The Commercial department of Fowler Shops has recently shipped three barber pipette holders to Chicago, two of them to G. L. Kite, Director of the University of Chicago, and one to T. J. Bryan, State Analyst of Illinois.
The Barber pipette holder is an attachment to a microscope used in the segregation of bacteria and it is the only instrument of its kind. Orders are sent to the University for it from all parts of the United States.
The instrument was invented by M. A. Barber, who, until this year, was professor of bacteriology at the University of Kansas. The instrument is used by bacteriologists where delicate technique is required. It is equipped with either two or three small pointed pipettes. These are used to separate one bacteria from the rest, to inject stains in the individual animals, or to remove the nucleus or some other small portion of the body of the organism. All movements of the small pipettes are controlled by heating of mercury in a slender U shaped tube.
The instruments are made by C. A. White, instrument maker of Fowler shops.
