Petitions must have the signatures of fifty women students and no class may be represented upon the petitions with a majority.
The candidate must also pay a fee of fifty cents to the president upon filing her petition; this money can be paid the expenses of the election.

The judges of the election have been appointed and are: Nell Martindale, Frank Banker, and Sophie Smithmeyer.
Miss Beulah Murphy, president of the W. S. G. A., says that any group of candidates which may come out which resembles in any way a faction or a following of party lines will be considered illegal. Each person must run by herself and no tickets will be allowed.

The election for the members of the W. S. G. A., will take place by classes Wednesday, May 15. Two members each from the freshmen, sophomore and junior classes will be elected; the seniors holding no election because they will not be in school next year.

WILL DISCONTINUE
COLORADO DEBATE?
Silver and Gold Says Rela
Severed
tions With Kansas Are
NUMBER 782
The annual Kansas-Colorado debates will probably be discontinued if the report in the college paper at the University of Colorado is authentic.
Silver and Gold, the paper published by the students at that University, says that the debating board of the Associated Students has decided to sever debating relations with Kansas.
The Debating Council of the University of Kansas has received no notice of Colorado's action.
"For several years debating relations with Colorado have not been the best," said a member of the Council this morning, "and it is probable that no debate will be held with that University next year."
BAND PLAYS OUTDOORS
First of Several Spring Concerts Will be Given Tomorrow
Will be Given Tomorrow
The first outdoor concert of the University band will be given tomorrow evening at seven thirty on the steps of the Museum. The program will consist of a variety of popular, standard, and classical selections.
Many students remember the open air concerts by the University band last year as some of the most enjoyable affairs of the school year. "There will be an opportunity this spring to hear several of these concerts," said leader McCanles this morning.
STUDENTS INSPECT
STUDENTS INSPECT
CAMPUS PAVEMENTS
Prof. Harry Gardner of the School of Engineering had his 11:15 class in roads and pavements out doing practical work this morning by inspecting the sidewalks on the campus.

Compliments Journalism Head Prof. Merle Thorpe, head of the department of journalism at the University of Kansas, addressed the First District Editorial Association in Leavenworth Monday. He discussed methods of making his department of the University useful to the newspapers of Kansas. The journalism school has become a real help to every daily and weekly paper in the state, and the regents made a happy selection when they picked out Mr. Thorpe for the place which he fills so admirably—Kansas Notes in Kansas City Star.

1912 JAYHAWKER MADE BY ARTISTS
Plates Are Criticised by Department of Drawing and Painting
ON SALE AT SENIOR PLAY
The presses are running night and day printing the last pages of the 1912 Jayhawker which Manager Clark Wallace promises to have on sale at the opening night of the senior play, "Dope," next Wednesday night.
In making the Jayhawker this year, the editors have taken a departure from the old and regular character of the senior annual "made by the seniors for the seniors." It is a University book—everyone of the pages are teeming with features interesting to all students who have spent a part or the whole of the year on the "Hill."
Presses Running Night And Day to Get Annual Finished on Time— Cuts to be Returned
Quality has been the "pass word" of the editors ever since the search for material began last winter. And the proof pages show that this University-Jayhawker is the product of a staff of experts—expert photographers, cartoonists, artists, literators, printers and engravers. For the art work that has been done for the annual, the services of the department of drawing and painting have been enlisted and all the plate that will appear in the book have had their own recognition recognized critics in that profession.
ART WORK UNDERGOES CRITICISM
Miss Lois Harger, ex '12, has returned to her home in Abilene after spending a few days at the Theta house.
PICTURES MADE ON SEPARATE CUTS One new and distinctive feature of the senior picture this year is the fact that these pictures are made upon separate cuts, so that those seniors who wish to obtain the cut of themselves may have them by calling upon the business manager, Clark Wallace. Mr. Wallace will be able to return the senior cuts probably in a week or two after the annual has been published and they have been returned from the printer.
Many of the cartoons that have found their way into the Jayhawker were drawn by Maloy, the Daily Kansan cartoonist, and his work had to pass a more rigid inspection and criticism than could well be exercised in a newspaper office. Wellhouse has drawn several plates that have been printed in colors and that owners will be tempted to cut from the volume for framing.

CHANGE IS MADE IN SENIOR PLAY CAST
A change has been made in the cast of the senior play, "Dope," which was announced this morning. "Tod" Woodbury will not take the part of Steven Ghent who appears in the third act of the play. The part has been given to Stanton Shand. Mr. Woodbury was forced to give up his part in the third act on account of the heaviness of his work in the first two acts.
Stanton Shand to Take Part of Steven Ghent—101 Local Hits
With the exception of this change in the line-up for the play, no alterations have been made in the cast since the initial rehearsals. The cast is said to have the lines and business of their show well in hand. They are now working on the finishing touches of the production, which will be given Wednesday and Thursday evenings May 15 and 16.
All rehearsals are being held in the Bowersock opera house this week. The advance sale of tickets will go on at Woodward's drug store Tuesday before the first production of the play, May 14.
In reply to the demands by student play-goers that more local color and hits upon University celebrities be infected into the lines of the play, the playwright this year has culled one hundred and one of the best things that have taken place on the hill this year, many of the people who attend the performance are for the masdws scored to the delight of those around them.
Five features have been planned for the three acts of the show and scenery to reproduce some of the places on the album. At its core is the Willis Wood theater in Kansas City.

VOTERS ARE CROWDING TO THE POLLS TODAY
Intense Interest Is Shown in Student Council Election
980 BALLOTS WERE IN AT 1:30
sent—No Electioneering Done
Dodgers And Hand bills Were Ab-
Within 10 ft. of Judges' Table.
The votes of the Schools of Pharmacy, Medicine and Law were the most complete, nearly all the votes being registered there before noon.
Nine hundred and eighty ballots had passed by the judges when a record of the number was taken at one-thirty.

In the Schools of Engineering one hundred votes remained to be cast after dinner and nearly two hundred votes were out in the College.
VOTING STOPPED AT 4:00
The absence of dodgers and handbills in the form of campaign literature was a marked feature of the electioneering about the polls this morning, but the interest betrayed was intense at all times. The candidates were allowed only to circulate personal cards and use personal suasion.
At one-thirty today both candidates agreed to call the election to a close at four o'clock in order that the counting might begin earlier and the final report be made early this evening.
At the polls, the candidates were not permitted to do their electioneering closer than ten feet from the judges desk.
100 MUCH MOISTURE
IN DRIED PEACHES
Professor Jackson Says $10,500 Would be Saved if Adulteration Were Prohibited
According to recent experiments made by Prof. H. L. Jackson in the food laboratory at the University $10,500 would be saved if the manufacture of adulterated dried fruits were prohibited. The federal food inspection of the Kansas State Board of Health states that "an abnormal quantity of sulphuric dioxide from marketing for fruit or marketing and excessive moisture content will be regarded as fraudulent adulteration."
Professor Jackson cites cases where some fruit tested in the laboratory contained over 19.4 per cent of moisture which is an excess of 7 per cent over the average amount. The professor stated that he wished to show by this experiment what an apparently small amount of water in minute quantities means when extracted from a greater quantity.
Entertained at Whist
