WILL DISPOSE OF CREAMERY WASTE
Two University Professors to Keep Contamination From Kansas Streams
TEST PLANT AT TONGANOXIE
Will Take Care of 1000 Gallons of Material Daily—Use Chemicals For Purification
The disposal of creamy waste has long been a problem, not only in the state of Kansas but throughout this entire country as well. C. A. Haskins, instructor in civil engineering, and C. C. Young, state water analyst, have been working on this for the past two months and have now practically concluded their investigations.
Some of the cremeries in the state have been in the habit of allowing the cremery waste to flow into the nearby streams and thus contaminate them. This was brought to the attention of Mr. Young in his work in the water analysis department. Mr. Haskins has completed a plant for the purification and the disposal of the waste, and Mr. Young has conceived the chemicals which will be used in the purification process.
Mr. Young says that according to all indications this new invention should help a great deal in the keeping of the streams pure and from becoming contaminated.
A plant has been designed that will take care of one thousand gallons of waste and Mr. Young and Mr. Haskins will take it to Tonganoxie next week and test its value there as an experiment station. Tonganoxie has one of the largest cremeries in the state with 60,000 gallons of waste to dispose of each day so it will be an excellent place to try out the plant.
Phenomonal Freshman Pitches Out Nineteen Men in One Game
MICHIGAN HAS PRODIGY
That Michigan University will have one of the best college pitchers in the country available for their varsity team next year in George H. Sisler, freshman from Akron, O., if he does not sucumb to the offers of the big league magnates in the meantime, is the opinion today of the students who saw Sisler fan nineteen men in order to play a sophomore game yesterday. Sisler already has received offers from Comnie Mack, Hugh Jennings and several other big league managers, but so far has seen fit to stick to college.
STUDENTS' LOAN FUND HAS GONE BEGGING
Miss Emily Berger, Miss Josephine Walker and Miss Helen Tabon will visit Mrs Frances Meservey in Kansas City over Sunday.
Miss Elizabeth Stuart and Miss Mary Goviere of Kansas City are the guests of Miss Crete Stuart at the Kappa house.
Few Students Have Applied
ew Students Have Applie for Loans This Spring, Says Committee
Are students at the University of Kansas more than usually prosperous this year? The committee in charge of the Students' Loan Fund is wondering why it is that fewer demands have been made upon the fund this spring than has been the case for many years previously.
"We have had scarcely an application for a loan this semester," said Prof. M. W. Sterling, treasurer of the fund, yesterday. "Usually there are numerous applications from seniors who need help to finish their last year and get their degrees. In fact, the fund is generally most heavily drawn upon in the spring months. With many a senior it happens that the money he has saved for an education gives out a few months before he has reached the finish of his school career.
"The teacher I thought it possible that not many students are familiar with the Loan Fund and its purpose. It was established to help worthy students finish their schooling. A limited loan will be advanced to upperclassmen applying for it, who are willing to furnish a bankable note as security."
Some of the best men and women the University has ever graduated have been helped by the Loan Fund. The committee's concern over the apparent indifference of students to the fund indicates that they would rather keep the fund busy helping deserving students than see the money lying idle. Prof. S. G. Hunter, M. W. Sterling and B. J. Dalton, are the members of the committee in charge.

nation for next year's Annual until next fall.
At the entertainment for the high school visitors tomorrow evening, the "stunt" system will be used. Depending on the dramatic clubs until so late has left but little time to prepare anything elaborate. Stunts will be put on by the Glee club, the Mandolin club, and by Root's tumbling team. Several members of the student council, aided by a few others will give a minstrel show.

Today the Daily Kansan prints all announcements that were handed to the editor and on Wednesday, May 8, this column will be opened again for them by my men and any developments of platform plains these men may wish to make.
Statements from men running for membership on the Council will be limited to one hundred and fifty words. Statements from women running will be limited to three hundred words.
As a candidate for the office of president of the Men's Student Council I take this opportunity offered by the Kansas of stating the following facts.
I am a junior in the School of Engineering.
To the Daily Kansan:
I have served during the present year as a representative to the council from the School of Engineering. This years experience has been invaluable in working which this council has under work, but which is as yet unfinished.
At present the council is working upon a new athletic constitution favoring a larger representation of students and alumni upon the athletic board.
Another task before us is the working out of a new plan for the management of the Jayhawker so that the manager will receive a fair compensation for his services. A plan for the management of the Student Enterprise Association is nearing completion. It is important.
It is my opinion that it would be
U. S. HAS BROUGHT MARVELOUS CHANGE
J. C. Robbins in His Address Last Night Told of the Philippines
Philippines
J. C. Robbins, traveling secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement, spoke at the Y. M. C. A. meeting last night on "Imperialism and University Men." Mr. Robbins spent five years prior to 1909 as a missionary in the Philippines and says that the change which he witnessed there brought about by the United States was been marvelous.
advantageous to have on the council a student representative from the council
"The work of the United States in the Philippines is one of the proudest chapters in our history," declared Mr. Robbins, "and is a splendid example of unselfish altruism. When I arrived in Manila there was no Christian church or no hospital in the city. The most expensive building was the jail. This has been changed into a fine public school building and churches and hospitals have been built.

was not even allowed to think"
In speaking of giving independence to the Philippines, he said that the time for this has not yet come and that the immediate future of the Islands is bound up with that of the United States. Mr. Robbins defined missionary work as the science of social and moral uplift and declared that the work is "a man's job" and
Botany Club Walks To Vinland And Studies Wild Flowers.
"Absolute justice is a new thing in the Islands," Mr. Robbins continued. "Until the United States can hold the罪犯, the public was not even allowed to shlock."
The Botany Club pinicened at Vlnland, Wednesday. A dozen young botanists, accompanied by Prof. C. M. Sterling and Dr. Grace Charles, enjoyed the holiday, in the woods, picking wild flowers, and attempting to apply the knowledge gained in the class room, concerning them.
I have been in close touch with these matters during the past year and on this account I think I am well fitted toy continue the work which the present council has begun and to successful' problems which may arise in the future.

To the Daily Kansan.
The students should know what a candidate stands for and will do for the University, before voting for or against him.
I pledge, if elected President of the Mens Student Council, with the concurrence of the council, to eliminate all afflictions of graft in all University afitures.
I most heartily believe in a students' union building, a womans' dormitory and any other enterprises which will help the University. I am against all organizations, fraternities or clubs, professional or social, that claim to be representative bodies, but confine their membership to political factions.
If elected, I promise to be impartial in enforcing the present laws of the Matter.
I feel that if I have had any training that would fit me for this office, and enable me to serve the students, that it is my duty to do so. Do not vote for me because I am a barb. If you do not think I am a square, if you do not want to initiative and ability to do things, do not vote; it will take all of these elements to make one a trusted and efficient President of the Mens Student Council.

APRIL WAS JUST ORDINARY
Weather Man Was Not Trying for Records in Month Just Closed
The month of April just closed was only an ordinary month as far as weather conditions are concerned, according to the monthly summary prepared by Prof. H. P. Cady. The temperature was about as usual.
The only exceptional thing about the month was the fact that it was dryer than usual. Only four other Aprils on the record kept by the University have had a lower rainfall than September, and the midity was ten per cent below the average. The month was clearer than usual.
STUDENTS CONDUCT DEBATERS TALK ON ORCHESTRA CONCERT VOTES FOR WOMEN
Program Contains Lively Selections—Student Tickets Good
On next Wednesday night, May 8,
the University Orchestra will give
its annual concert, assisted by Dean
David Grosch, of Baker University,
as the soloist.
The orchestra has been holding weekly rehearsals under the direction of Dean Skilton, of the fine arts department, and has an unusually interesting program. Selections from "Midsummer Night's Dream" will be the feature of the program. The Intermezzo will be played and the "Clown Dance," in which a donkey is heard to bray with a very realistic effect. The funeral march will also be given, played by the oboe and the bassoon.
The overture from "Fra Diavob" will be the heavy number of the program. An interesting novelty will be a "Chinese Anecdote," a "Lady Ficking Mulberrys." This is a very beautiful little composition as well as being a novelty number.
Another feature of the concert will be the introduction of two student conductors. These boys have been spending two hours daily before the mirror with a stick, with wildly flowing hair and they promise some sensational gestures.
Dean David Grosch, baritone, of the Fine Arts school at Baker University will give a solo accompanied by the orchestra.
The recent change from high to low pitch has worked a great improvement in the orchestra. An entire new set of reed instruments was purchased to make this possible. Stick tickets will admit to the concert.
Following is the personnel of the orchestra. First violins, Wort Morse, concert master, Helen Hill, Frances Smith, William Hoyt. Second violins, Anna Murray, Blanch Simons, James F.

Ashland and Burlington High Schools Will Clash in Debate Tonight
ASHLAND IS THE FAVORITE
Preparations Have Been Made For a Large Attendance to Hear This Timely Discussion.
The first big event of the high school invasion of the University will take place in the chapel in Fraser hall this evening, when the championship of the Kansas high school debating league will be determined. burlington and Ashland high schools urnish the contesting teams.
The question for debate is a local issue—whether or not the proposed amendment to the Kansas constitution permitting women to vote should be adopted at the forthcoming election. Burlington supports the affirmative of the question, Ashland the *negative*.
The first considerable number of high school rooters to reach Lawrence will be the supporters of the Burlington team, who left Burlington on a special train at 1 o'clock this afternoon and were scheduled to reach Lawrence at 4 o'clock.
If Ashland can repeat its performance of last year and carry off the championship the silver loving cup will be the permanent possession of the school.
The Ashland team, owing to their distance from Lawrence, will not have a large crowd of supporters, but what they lack in vocal support, they expect to more than make up in prestige and real skill in debating. Ashland has had an enviable record with the two years. In that time students from nearby have taken part in eight debates and they have a list of eight victories to their credit. All the decisions were unanimous except one.
Prof. R. R. Price, the originator of the debating league, today sent letters to the members of the Universit faculty asking that the faculty attend, and that the debate be announced in classes in order that a large attendance of the student body may be assured.
The debate will begin at 8:15 and is free to the public.

"Hunt up your rubbers and overshorses!" chuckled Mr. Baro Meter this morning as he saw a representative of the Daily Kansan passing. "Unsettled for tomorrow."
Thermo grinned derisively from the roof of the meter home. According to Baro, he has been trying to catch one of the campus birds so that he can play Icarus.
