Pleased all Those Present.
Asaffiting end to thehigh schoolathletes visit Friday and Saturday as guests of the University, the Men's Student Council gave the visitors a dinner in Robinson gymnasium Saturday night, followed by a short program.
Over three hundred and fifty high school and University men were served at dinner by the Domestic Science department. It was hoped that more University men would be present, but it seems that a large number were not aware of the fact that they could attend.
A. R. MacKinnon, president of the Men's Student Council made the opening speech and urged that all of the high school men present should make it a point to attend the University of Kansas as soon as they graduated from high school. He also announced that as a feature of the evening, all men awarded first place medals should give their high school vell.
The Weather.
Chancellor Frank Strong made the address of welcome in which he brought out the advantages that would be obtained by the men in attending the University of Kansas both in athletics and in intellectual training. He pointed out that Kansas had as manager and coaches in athletics, some of the best men obtainable and that these men stood for clean athletics.
Coach W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, presented the medals and cups to the winning men and schools. Six records were broken, and Coach Hamilton said that they had cleaned out the jewelry stores in order to obtain enough cups for these events. Coach Hamilton also helped Hutchinson were the individual stars in class A, and were presented the most medals and cups.
The high school yells which the men always insisted upon being given added much to the entertainment, and cheer leader Dolde says that he received several good ideas from the high school men.
"I'm tired and lazy today," Thermo said to Baro. Baro was in a very genial mood today and out of sympathy for his lazy twin. He promised us general fair weather tonight and tomorrow with no change in temperature. Thermo was delighted at the prospect of having no climb either up or down.
Following the presentation of medals, the University mandolin club gave several selections and Root's tumblers ended the program with a classy exhibition of that 'art.

The concert of the Fine Arts orchestra has been postponed from Wednesday, May 8 to Saturday, May 11, on account of the Pan-Hellenic debate, which takes place that night.

Clyde Maris, a freshman in the Schoo of Engineering, was severely injured about the head and shoulders when his motorcycle collided with a street car on New Jersey street Saturday evening. A large piece of flesh was scraped from him, which probably will leave a permanent weakness of the muscles there.
Witnesses of the accident carried the injured boy to the home of Dr. John C. Rudolph, where he is at present. Dr. Rudolph said this morning that Maris's injuries were serious, but that he was resting more easily today.

BOTANIST TELLS HOW TO KILL DANDELIONS
Professor Stevens Says They Must Be Dug up and Burned
"A great many people do not realize that the dandelion is one of the hardiest plants known," said Prof. W. C. Stevens professor of botany, this morning. "Unless particular pains are taken to rout the disease, it will be long before it will take our lawns."
"The only way to get rid of the plant is to dig it out by the roots and burn it. Care must be taken to dig deep, for if any of the stem is left the plant will sprout again. I have noticed so many people simply dig the dandelions out of the ground and leave them scattered on the lawn. This is just as bad as if you had a garden in your yard and have started to bud they will continue anyway and produce the flower and finally the seed. The only sure way of not permitting them to reproduce is to dig them up and place them in a basket and then take them out and burn them.
"I can not emphasize too strong that unless particular care is taken of plants they plants are bound to produce seed and same as if they were in the ground."
Miss Evelyn Wilson, of Leavenworth, spent Sunday in Lawrence visiting at the Chi Omega house.
James Biglow, of Gardner, has been visiting at the Sigma Nu house the past few days.

SOMETHING ABOUT HULL HOUSE
Hull House, the most famous of
American settlements, stands at the
corner of Polk and Halstead streets,
in the foreign district of Chicago. It
is home to many of the artists and
Ellen Gates Starr, who were in
inspired by the example of Toynbee
Hall, London.
The house chosen by Miss Addams had been the homestead of Charles J. Hull, one of Chicago's pioneer citizens. It was battered but sound, and has been made over into a beautiful building, still retaining the original rooms, with extensive additions such as the oriental rugs, and the walls are hung with paintings by modern artists of Chicago and the East.
NOW HAS MANY BUILDINGS
At Hull House today, there are over fifty resident workers and eighty volunteers. Its buildings now include a coffee house, a theater, a co-operative boarding club for young women, a gymnasium, a boy's club and a men's club, a musical school, a nursery, a dining-room and a mechanical plant.
The Hull House activities extend over almost every field of social settlement work. The workers cooperate with the city, the charity organizations, the state, and even the departments at Washington. Many laws for public education and hygiene, for delinquency and for prosecution, have been brought about by the intelligent agitation of the workers of Hull House, inspired always by the leader and founder, Jane Addams.
