SPANISH TUNES AND FUN IN ZARAGUETA
Senoritas y Caballeros Make Merry for Hearers by Being Serious
GIVEN IN GYM SATURDAY EVE
Dress rehearsal for the Spanish play, which will be given in Robinson gymnasium Saturday night, will be held this evening.
Real Spanish Music And Characteristic Folk Songs—Synopsis in English Will be Distributed
The play, "Zaragueta," is a comedy; It will not be necessary, according to those in charge, to understand the Spanish language in order to get a laugh out of Zaragueta.
While the play does not lean towards romance, and does not feature piquant senoritas, there is enough of a love plot in it to satisfy those who wish to see such a production.
Fun is the key-note of the entire action. It begins with the rising of the curtain and continues to the end. The most serious speeches of the characters are the most ludicrous to the audience.
Special features have been arranged for in the way of Spanish folk songs and real Spanish music. Before the curtain rises, Mrs. A. L. will play the Bolero from "Recuerdos de Andalucía," by E. Econ.
Between acts one and two, Howar S. Welch will sing a group of characteristic folk songs to the accompaniment of the soft Spanish guitar.
The play has been under the direction of the faculty of the department of Romance Languages, and being the first Spanish play ever given at this University, considerable interest is being manifested. For the benefit of those who cannot understand the Castilian tongue, a full synopsis of the action has been incorporated in the programs.

SHY JUNIORS SHUN ORDEAL OF POLITICS
Those Soon-to-Be-Salaried Jobs, Editor and Manager of Jayhawker Unsought
Plums are ripe, in the junior class but there are no pickers to harvest the crop. In less than two weeks the election for editor and manager of the 1913 Jayhawker will be held, under the new ruling, and up to noon today no petitions had been presented to the student council.
"The Junior class will certainly have to get busy and hunt up candidates for the offices of Manager and Editor of next year's annual," said Arch McKinnon, president of the student section of the section will be held on Friday.May 10, and will be governed by the council's rules for class elections.
"The chances are ten to one that the offices will not be strictly on the honor basis next year but will carry a salary attached to each. A committee of the senate should be working all the possible scheme, and report within the next two weeks.
"Starting in the spring as these men do, will give all summer to collect their ideas, arrange their book, and make the majority of their advertising contracts. In the fall when they return to school, they will have their annual well under way. They will then have the whole of the fall term to get the views and pictures which at the present time we are unable to obtain. Under the present system the annual is never started much before December first, and studies must be forgotten until the book is completed.
Bara was laid up in bed today with the rheumatism. "My joints ache," he said to the Daily Kansan reporter, "and I predict local showers tonight and keep the cool temperature tomorrow.
"On behalf of the council I stronger request all available juniors to come our and run."
Young Women Run in Relay A sorority relay race is to be added to the list of events at the Inter-scholastic Circus to be given this month at the University of California.
Thermo had pulled his areoplane into the little white latticed house and was working on it very industriously but he didn't. He added her then's words he uttered a groan and threw down his tools.
The Weather.
"No ascension today," he muttered. "The lowering cloud sand the driving rain must prevent."

THE "PLINK, PLUNK" PLEASED THE CROWD
Five Hundred Mandolin Musiusic Bugs Applauded the Concert Last Night
The rejuvenated Mandolin Club gave a concert in Fraser hall last night that well pleased the five hundred mandolin fans who were on hand. From the first "plink" to the last "plunk," there was not a dull moment.
CHANCELLOR RETURNS FROM EASTERN TRIP
The feature numbers, as told in the Daily Kansan yesterday were well received, and were the hit of the evening. The work of the "quintette" brought an encore, as did the string quartette, composed of Hoyt, Stevens, Poland and Brown. James Lawrence's mandolin solo was also encorased, as was Ralph Steven's Viloncello work, and the tenor-mandola sola of Lawrence Morris.
Harold Bruce Hurd, a freshman engineer, received a handsome bunch of flowers from admiring friends.
"I am gratified with the results of the concert," said James Lawrence, director this morning, "and I think that the Mandolin Club is due for an even better reception at future concerts."

TITANTIC DISASTER APPALLS
New York More Stirred up Than
Ever Before—Kansas Graduates in The East.
"The conference was a success," said the Chancellor today, "although the Titanic disaster cast a gloom over the whole proceedings. William P. Stead, who was to give one of the important addresses, went down with the unfortunate ship. New York is stirred up more over the wreck of Titanic than it has been in many a year."
"The graduates tell me that they get homesick for the University and appreciate it more after absence. They find when they go East that it is as well equipped in some ways as some of the older institutions there. The University of Kansas is making an impress on the East, concluded Chancellor Strong, "and is today one of the best known of western universities."
"I went to Boston Monday and attended a dinner of the K. U. Club there. Twenty-two members were present and everyone had an unusually good time. Paul Fragher, who was graduated a year or two ago is president of the club, and Russel Whitman was elected to the presidency for the coming year. Mr. Whitman is now manager of the Boston American, having entire control of the paper.
But One Was Selected A Two O'clock—Chancellor Will Preside
NEED MORE JUDGES FOR TIGER DEBATE
Only one of the judges for the Kansas-Missouri dispute in Fraser Hall tomorrow night had been selected at two o'clock today. The difficulty lies in the fact that several men who were decided upon by the Debating Councils of the two Universities were unable to be in touch with each other, Dante Barton, editorial writer on the Kansas City Star is the man who has been selected.
According to the arrangements for judges, the Missouri Debating Council submits a list of six names to the University Council, and Kansas chooses the three men from this list. When anyone refuses to act, more names must be submitted by Missouri. The list which Kansas now has contains the following names: Clyde C. Taylor, ex-city attorney in Kansas City, Frank Brumback, Elijah E. Thomas, Elijah E. Thomas, Elijah E. Thomas, attorney in Kansas City, and John G. Park, city counselor for Kansas City, Professor Gessell, of the Debating Council, hopes to hear from the men by telephone this evening.
The Kansas debaters, Allen Wilbur and Milton Minor gave their debate last night in Fraser hall against Wayne Edwards and Clem Fairehilds, two members of the debating squad. Although the talks were not public, those present seem to feel confident that the Missouri tiger is due for a defeat when the two teams meet tomorrow.
Chancellor Strong will preside at the contest which will commence at eight o'clock. Students tickets are good for admission.

BISHOP VISITS UNIVERSITY
Rt. Rev. Arthur Selden Lloyd of the Episcopal Church Here Today
The Right Reverend Arthur Selden Lloyd of New York City, president of the Board of Missions of the Episcopal church, is in Lawrence today, visiting the University. Bishop Lloyd was elected Bishop of Virginia in 1909 and was made president of the Board of Missions in 1910. It is said that to Bishop Lloyd more than to any other one man is due the very marked increase in the missionary activities of the Episcopal church, both at home and abroad, during the last ten years.
dishop Lloyd will attend the Y.M.
C.A. meeting at Myers hall this
evening.
AD BAN APPLIES ONLY TO COUNCIL ELECTION
Campaign "Literature" and Advertisements Permitted at the Other Elections
The announcement made in the Daily Kansan two weeks ago concerning the prohibition of campaign "literature" and political advertisements does not apply to other than the student council elections.
"We are trying to keep the council elections out of politics," said Arch MacKinnon this morning, "and to accomplish this we are prohibiting a printed party ballot at that election. Each man must run on his personal merit alone.
"I wish the men to understand about the coming election, and I make this statement at this time on account of the misunderstanding that has arisen because several persons thought that the restriction of campaign "literature" as published in the Daily Kansas applied to all elections.
"In the first place, the Men's Student Council does not intend to restrict the use of sample ballots, or other dodgers at the athletic election.
"While on the other hand, the student council election has always been an election of individuals, and we wish to make it remain as such and also out of politics, as far as possible. We want to make it possible for any and every man of ability to come out and run for any of the offices without being connected with an organization of a political nature.
"Each man is out for himself, and as an individual, he can have cards printed announcing his candidacy, and may circulate them. What we will not recognize is a ticket or sample ballot."
MRS. PERRY, OF BELOIT

MASQUE CLUB WILL NOT PLAY ON MAY 4
High School Visitors Will See "Billy" in the Gym Instead
THE STAR HAS ANOTHER DATE
But Thesipians Are Willing to Present "Billy,"—Scenery is Promised, so The Show Will go on.
Manager Wilson of the Masque Club announced today that it would be impossible to give the "Lottery Man." May 4 for the high school visitors.
The Student Council has asked the Thespian Dramatic club to produce "Billy" instead of the "Lottery Man."
"Fay Chisham, who plays one of the principle roles, refused to take part," said Bunny Wilson. "She has another engagement for that evening. It would necessitate about fifteen or twenty rehearsals, with another person in her part, to get the play into shape. At this time the cast does not have the time to spend on so many rehearsals."
Ike Lambert, manager of the Thespians announced this afternoon that the scenery used in February can be secured from the Willis Wood theater Kansas City. The play will be presented if the cast can be assembled.
The club will hold a meeting tonight to decide definitely about the matter.
DR. R. K. DUNCAN WILL PRESENT EXTENSION PLANS
$25,000 in Industrial Fellowships to be Given if Separate Building is Erected.
Dr. R. K. Duncan will be here next week and at that time will formally present to the regents of the University department of industrial research.
Additional industrial fellowships to the amount of $25,000 will be given out dependent on the erection of a separate building for this department of specific industries. The proposition which Dr. Duncan makes is that these additional fellowships will be given if the Board of Regents will agree to the erection of suitable laboratories costing not to exceed $20,000. A portion of the regents favor an appropriation for such a building and a recommendation to that effect is expected at the meeting of the board which will meet at Pratt, Kansas probably next week.
Dr. Duncan proposes to develop some of the resources of Kansas which have not hitherto received the attention of skilled chemists. If suitable facilities can be secured it is his plan to scientifically conduct a state wide research into Kansas products.
It all depends on the action which the regents take as to whether or not the University of Kansas will get this large addition to their already wide field of labor and it is not likely that the proposal will be turned down.
Dr. Duncan is expected to arrive here the first of next week. Dr. F. W. Bushong who is in charge of the department here has received a telegram from him stating that he will give a lecture at Princeton University this evening on Industrial Pellgrane that he will present exact day he would be here. He will remain about ten days when he comes.
