ONE OF THE OREADS NIGHT-MARES
A CROWN OF ROSES FOR KIRMESS QUEEN
Enthroned in a Sunflower Lucile Wilkinson Received the Royal Insignia
HISTORIC PAGEANT PLEASES
Dances of All Nations Were Good- Proceeds of the Day Will Probably Amount to $400.
The key of the University was turned over to Her Majesty, the Queen of the Kansas Kirmess, on Saturday, April 27. The weather was good and the big, good-humored crowd waited patiently for the pageant.
After only a short delay, the procession left Robinson gymnasium and wound its way through the campus. The Indians in single file came first, then the Spanish explorers. The force band of hunters and trappers followed, with the pioneers and the prairie schooner in the rear.
Next came the K. U. band followed by a gay medley of dancers of all nations. Sixteen senior girls carried a long sunflower chain. Back of them was Mildred Roberts, carrying the crown of pink roses on a green cushion.
ENTER, THE KIRMESS QUEEN
ENTER, THE KIRKMES QUEEN
The Queen, Lucile Wilkinson, in a flowing robe of pale green, rode on a snow-white horse.
Following the Queen, were her attendants, senior girls in white with black hair.
EHTHRONED IN A FLOWER
The pageant reached the green in front of Fraser hall at three o'clock. The dancers and the spectators stood aside to let the Queen ride by on her white horse. As her cavalier led her disciple 'climber' platform and helped her dismount dances and spectators crowded around to see the coronation ceremony,
BETHELD IN A FLOWER
As the Queen seated herself in royal state on her throne, the sunflower dancers ran forward and, from the plaza room where the Queen sat, each girl danced a yellow petal forming a huge sunflower with a brown center, with the Queen enthroned in the heart of the flower. The crown bearer, Mildred Roberts, came and offered the crown to the Queen, who knelt to receive it. The Queen's attendants then danced the sunflower dance before her throne, and completed the dance by forming the letter "K," the three lines of dancers kneeling and presenting their tribute of sunflowers to the Queen of the Kansas Kirmess.
The Queen and her attendants proceed to the platforms where the dances were held, visiting each one in turn.
DANCES OF THE NATIONS
DANCES OF THE NATIONS
At the Spanish platform, west of Green hall, freshmen and sophomore girls, trained by Glads Elliott, in Spanish costumes of black and red, and red and yellow, gave the Tyron and the Saltarella dances. Little Marie Hamilton, daughter of Coach Hamilton, sang "The Tin Soldier". Glads Elliott, in Carmes costume, was graceful and coquettish in her Spanish solo dance, "La Tiera."
Freshmen girls, in tartan kilts and Highland bonnets, gave the Highland Fling on the platform east of Green
hall. Cora Reynolds sang a Scotch song, "My Ain Folk." The sophomore girls, in Dutch blue dresses, danced a wooden shoes dance. Rose Abbott trained the dances.
The Irish platform, directed by Nell Martindale, was west of Medie hall, where the sophomore girls danced the Irish Lilt and Jig. The girls wore green skirts and mob caps, and little aprons decorated with shamrocks.
Nell Martindale danced a clever and comic "Jumping-Jack" dances. her costume was scarlet accordion-laid skirt, red and white striped jacket, edged with little bells, and a red cone cap topped with a bell.
A Polish dance by the senior girls in front of Blake hall was accompanied by vigorous stamping of boots and wild waving of arms. Edith Bideau sang "Senora," in a clear, sweet voice which carried well. The juniors as Japanese girls in gay kimonas danced a graceful parasol dance to characteristic Japanese music. These dances were under the direction of Miss Helen Thames, of Kansas City.
BOOTHS KEPT BUSY
The booths in charge of the sororities were visited by generous purchasers of peanuts, pop-corn, icecream cones and pop.
PROCEEDS PROBABLY $400
"The proceeds of the Kirmess," said Beulah Murphy, president of the W. S. G. A., "will be used for a W. S. G. A. scholarship for some freshman girl now in school. She will be selected soon according to scholarship and general fitness, by the Advisory Board of the W. S. G. A."
Frederika Hodder, treasurer of the Kirnessa, said that $300 of the proceeds were in, and probably $100 more would be in later.
JESTER BREAKS OUT
"We can not announce the amount definitely until Thursday," said Miss Hodder. "The expenses were $200."
Official Publication of the "Friars" on the Campus Kirmess Day
The Jester, otherwise known as the official publication of the Junior organization called "The Friars." appeared on the campus Saturday as a special feature of the Kirmess, and supplied the students with twenty columns of the latest dope and advertising.
Under the personal direction of Dean L. E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy, the Pharmaceutical Society made its annual trip of inspection through the wholesale drug houses in Kansas City, last Thursday.
DEAN SAYRE TAKES
PHARMICS ON TRIP
"We still have a number for sale," continued Marsh, "and those who did not get copies Saturday, or who were out of the city and would like to get them now, may obtain them from either Shorty Hoffman or myself."
Over twenty dollars was taken in from the sale of the papers, and this together with the advertising will just about pay for the publication.
"The Jester tried to disappoint no one by leaving out their names," said Geo Marsh, "but it is rumored that a few felt sledged because they missed the only opportunity this year for getting their names in print."
The society visited Faxon-Gallagher Evans-Smith, McPike, Eli Lilly and the Parke-Davis drug companies. At noon the Parke-Davis company entertained the men for lunch at the Coates house.

ZARAGUETA PLEASES GOOD SIZED CROWD
Spanish Play Exceeded Expectations of All Those Who Saw It
ACTION EASILY UNDERSTOOD
All Parts Commendable—Costumes
Were Not as the Moving Picture Films Have Them
Zaragueta, the first complete play in the Spanish tongue ever given at the University, was produced Saturday night in Robinson gymnasium before a fair-sized audience.
Some trouble, as is usual with amateur plays, was experienced in hearing the lines, but as a large proportion of the audience did not understand the language, it was not such a handicap.
The acting was excellent from the lightest part to the title role. Richard Gardner showed marked ability in rendering the character of Zaragueta, the scene where the money-lender gets an unexpected shower bath being exceptionally good.
The make-up of the players, with the expection of Marjuja, did not conform to the idea an American has of the typical Spaniard, although the faculty of the department of Romance declares that they were true to life.
Gale Gosset as Dona Dolores and Howard Welch as Don Indalecio are to be commended for their ability. Laura Bates as Marua, Clair Ritter as Don Saturio, a village doctor, and Hale Cook as Carlos, a student in need of money, filled ably the principal comedy parts.
"This is some day," said Baro this morning as the reporter for the Daily Kansan approached him. "Thermo is rather low spirted, but he'll cheer up tomorrow."
Before the curtain rose, Mrs. A. L. Owen played the Boloero from "Recuerdas de Andalucía," and between the acts Howard Welch sang two Spanish songs. Both numbers were encored.
"Tell the people to take the tin cans and newspapers off their gardens too, as the sun is going to shine."
Mrs. Porter, of Topeka, was in Lawrence Saturday visiting her daughter, Dorothy, and attending the Phi Phi Founder's Day banquet.
Prof. F. H. Hodder will give the second of a series of illustrated lectures on the "American Cartoon," Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 in Fraser hall. In his lecture Professor Hodder will cover the period of the Civil War and of the Spanish War.

THEME, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The Sphinx will meet at the SIGms Nu house tonight at 7:30.
F. H. Leonard, of Chicago, Lectured in Chapel Friday Afternoon
Frank H. Leonard, C. S. B., of Chicago, Illinois, and member of the Board of Lectureship of the mother church of Boston delivered his lecture on Christian Science in the chapel at 4:30 Friday.
Mr. Leonard is a forceful speaker and expounded the Christian Science doctrine in a manner satisfactory to all the Christian Scientists present. He said that the reason more people were not religious was because religion had become unpractical, and did no present good to its professors. He argued that Christian Science supplied that great need in religion, and explained its rapid growth as the result of its practical doctrine.
Mr. Leonard made a sharp distinction between hypotism in therapeutics, and Christian Science. He said the success of hypotism in curing diseases was the result of the power of one mind over another, while Christian Science used God or the Divine.
Mr. Leonard used himself as an example of the healing powers of Christian Science. He said that when he was twenty years old he was told by medical men that he could not be cured of an organic disease which he had had from infancy, but after three months treatment by a Christian Scientist, he was pronounced perfectly cured by the doctors who could not help him.
CHEMICALS RETURN AFTER A WEEK'S TRIP
Visited Eighteen Plants—Had Enjoyable as Well as Profit-itable Time
The Chemical Engineering Society returned from their trip of inspection to Kansas City and St. Louis last night. The boys report that they spent the most interesting and profitable week that they have since they have been in school.
The only kick which the boys have is that they had so much to see that they were kept going all the time. Every morning they would start from their hotel on their daily inspection trip and remain out all day. In the evening they would gather in one room for breakfast, where the processes of manufacture which they had witnessed and elaborating the notes which they had taken during the day.
On the trip they visited eighteen plants, seven in Kansas City and eleven in St. Louis. Probably the most spectacular work which they witnessed was the manufacturing of steel by the open hearth process. They went to the steel plant at night and the roaring of the machinery, the sizzling of the white hot metal, and the crashing of the steel as it was rolled out into sheets was an experience which they will never forget.
Sachems Will Meet
Prof. W. A. Whitaker, of the department of chemistry, who had charge of the party says that the trip was highly successful in every way. Each plant that they visited seemed to make a difference in how the every courtesy and co-operate with them to make the trip as interesting and instructive as possible.
The Sachems, the senior society, will hold an important meeting tonight at 9 o'clock on the Pi Upsilon house.
KANSAS OUT-TALKS MISSOURI, WINNING IN ANNUAL DEBATE
Judges, by Vote of Two to One, Give K. U. Men Victory
JPHOLD RECALL OF JUDGES
The Aggies
Local Debaters Carry Off Laurels While Athletes Wax Baker And
Kansas won the annual debate with the University of Missouri, given in Fraser hall, Friday evening. The University speakers upheld the affirmative of the "Recall for Judges" question, and were given a two to one decision by the judges. Chancellor Strong presided and the largest crowd that has ever attended such a contest here in recent years was present.
Milton Minor, for Kansas, opened the argument in a twenty minute speech by giving a short history of the recall, laying particular stress on the corruption and technicalities which have crept into our judicial system. He maintained that corruption and technicalities are the result of a judiciary independent of the people, because impeachment had utterly failed to sufficiently check this branch of the government. The recall, he said, would be an efficient cheek without being often used.
ROSS OPENED FOR THE TIGERS
W. L. Ross opened the negative argument. He stated the position held by Missouri, that cases of evil on the bench were isolated, and were the result of long terms, small salaries and election by the people. He proposed that laws conflicting with the fourteenth amendment be referred to the federal courts and showed that the recall would force the judges into politics. Wilbur followed Ross and effectively pointed out in refutation, the incorrect view of the causes of judicial corruption, which were given by Missouri. That the courts were usurping legislative rights and that a judicial system responsible directly to the people was the best guarantee for improved courts, as well as for individual rights, were the affirmative points discussed by the last Kansas speaker.
KANSAS BROKE DOWN ARGUMENTS
'KANSAS BROKE DOWN ARGUMENTS
The second negative man, Drumm, maintained that under the recall the people would be hasty in their judgement and the judge would lose his independence. He proposed that of judges by the legislature, and changes in the court structure, would meet all the objections to our present system that could be cited.
As in the Colorado debate, Kansas was particularly strong in rebuttal, and after the last speaker had finished, there were few in the audience who were not convinced that Kansas had not only supported her affirmative position, but had effectively broken down the negativity arguments.
Mrs. A. D. Walker and Mrs. J. E.
Tabor of Holton, were guests at the
Kappa house over the week-end.
Mrs. W. A. Coston, of Topeka, visited her daughter, Rachel, at the Theta house over Sunday.
