500 Books Will Arrive in Law rence Early, for Sale at Senior Play
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 13, 1912.
FINANCIAL CONDITION GIVEN
NUMBER 80.
Will be Small Margin if Every Boo is Sold—Kansas City Star Praises It.
The printing work of the 1912 Jay-
hawker was completed last Saturday.
Binding remains to be done before the
books will be shipped to Lawrence to
be placed on sale.
A consignment of 500 of the volumes will arrive in Lawrence Wednesday morning and they will be placed on sale for the students after the first act of the Senior play, at Bowersock's theater Wednesday night May 15. Several students will circulate the books in the audience at the play and a long intermission is promised to afford readers a good chance for the perusal of the University book at the opera house WHAT THE KANSAS CITY STAR SAYS
One of the books was completed last Saturday and taken to the Kansas City Star office for reviewing. The Starsaid of the Jayhawk:
"The annual this year—bigger, better and more artistic that ever before—was produced 'without graft' by the students of the senior class of the University of Kansas. It is the first annual the publication of which has not enabled the editor and business manager to make anywhere from $500 to $1000.
"This year a radical departure was made in the method of publishing the book, and it shows results. Heretofore the editor and business manager told me that the book had been told to get out the book. They unusually did, but the book suffered."
MADE HONORARY LAST FALL
Clark Wallace submitted a financial statement showing the present status of the moneys of the annual to the finance committee of the senior class Saturday afternoon. This statement was approved by the committee without question. Harold Brownlee said this morning that in case a deficit was encountered, the senior class would have to levy an assessment to make up the total amount of the expenses.
Last Fall the senior class at the instance of the Men's Student Council voted to declare the positions of editor and business manager of the annual honorary offices with the financial backing of the class for the business manager, in case the publication should not pay out.
The present condition of the Jay-
hawker finances is:
360 Senior cuts        $ 540.00
82 Organizations      $ 583.00
Total... $1,123.00

L. R. Wilkinson 39.00
M. H. Huey 5.25

Total... $1,157.34
Balance $285.0
The above is correct.
CLARK A. WALLACE.
"Receipts and expenditures of the entire book are at the present time but little more than conjectures but with the figures now available I would make the following estimates which I believe will prove to be approximately correct:
Cash on hand ... $1,425.00
Business Manag-
Mr. Wallace also submitted a statement to the Daily Kansan which shows the probable receipts and the expenses that will be incurred in publishing the book. His statement is as follows:
660 student books yet to
Total... $3,986.25
sell at $2.75. . . . .
Engraving $1,200.00
EXPENDITURES
Total ... $3,917.00
"Assuming that these figures are correct, and I do not believe that they are far off, we are left with a book of only $887.52, which on a $4,000.00 contract of this sort is a little too close for comfort. This, too, is assuming that every book will be sold."

MINE SCHOOL TO BE ESTABLISHED AT WIER
Supreme Court Orders Regents to Found a School on $12,500 a Year
Last Saturday the Supreme Court of Kansas ordered the establishment of the state school of mines within twenty days. A writ of mandanus was also granted to J. M. Young and other citizens of Weir City. The writ compels the regents of the University to establish the school.
The regents have the $25,000 which the legislature appropriated for the first year.
A year ago it was enacted that $25,000 should be used to establish a state school of Mines and Metallurgy at Weir, Cherokee county. The University Board of Regents failed to make any provision for the establishing of this school. Action was taken against the university, tititus, and a few others, seeking a writ of mandamus to be issued against the regents.
"We simply desired to get some light on the statutes," said Dean Green this morning. "The University Board of Regents was unable to determine the true intent and meaning of the statute, but the action brought by Mr. Young has enabled them to ascertain the meaning."

COLORADO IS SILENT CONCERNING DEBATE
Send the Dally Kansan home.
EARL AMMONS, President
No Word Here Upholding Rumor That Relations with Kansas Are Broken
BAD FEELING IS NOT NEW
Professor Gesell Says That if Colorad Withdraws The Council Will Substitute Some Other University
TO INSTALL KAPPA
SIGMA CHAPTER HERE
"We have heard nothing whatever from Colorado," said Prof. G. A. Gessl this morning, when asked concerning the report that Colorado and Kansas had severed debating relations. "Possibly Colorado has gone ahead and broken relations without saying anything to us about it.
"If they have done so, we are satisfied, for the feeling between the two schools has not been the best for several years, and an incident in connection with the last debate arose which did not help this feeling in the least.
"As soon as we bear from them, we will hold a meeting of the debating council to decide on the substitution of some other University with which to hold an annual debate. In all probabilties, nothing will be done until next fall."
"This will not affect our debate with Oklahoma and Missouri and we hope to repeat the medicine which we inflicted upon Missouri this year."

ORCHESTRA CONCERT
RHCESTRA CONCERT
WAS WELL ATTENDED
In consideration of the weather Saturday night, a large crowd attended the first concert of the University Orchestra this year.
An excellent program had been arranged, but some numbers were a trifle difficult for the orchestra, since it would have taken the Minneapolis Symphony to have really done justice to them.
The University has a fine orchestra this year and much good talent.
The prologan was conducted by students.
Miss May Nachtman of Junction City, visited her sister, Madeline Saturday and Sunday at the Kappa house.

Sasnak's Petition Granted by National Assembly at Danville, Va.
HAS BEEN LOCAL FOR 2 YEARS
Founded September 24, 1910—Sub rosa The First Year—Will Begin With 23 Men.
Noted Negro Educator to Address University Audience in Chapel
Booker T. Washington, who speaks here in chapel tomorrow, is probably the greatest man in the colored race today. He had done more for the negro than any other person and it is probable that he is considered as a bigger man among the negroes than any white man is considered in the Caucasian race.
The ninth national fraternity to enter the University of Kansas will be Kappa Sigma. Last Friday evening the Sasnak club, which has been existing for two years, received work from the Supreme Executive Council of the fraternity which was in session in Danville, Virginia, that its petition had been granted and that installation would take place in a few days.
The Sannak班 was founded September 24, 1910 and existed sub rosa for a year. Last fall when its membership had reached eighteen it moved to 1409 Rhode Island street and it is here that the local Kappa Sig will be for at least five years before leaving being made for the erection of new chapel house near the "hill" and within a year the fraternity hopes to own its own house.
LOCAL CHAPTER THE SEVENTY-NINTH Kappa Sigma was founded at the University of Virginia in 1869 and when the local chapter is installed they will have seventy-nine chapters. It has entered thirty-five state universities and has a membership that totals over 11,000.
"Spee" Brumage, E. P. Monahan, and Professor J. P. Trickey are the Kappa Sigmas who are in the University.
Active chapters are now in existence at Baker, Washburn, William Jewell, Nebraska and Missouri and with the addition of the Kansas chapter should make Kappa Sigma extremely strong in the Missouri Valley.
He was born in slavery about 1850, and after receiving his common school education be obtained his higher work in Hampton Institute in Virginia. After graduation he was an instructor in the institution for a number of years. Since 1881 he has been head of the Tuskegee Institute.

Many features of student life are introduced here and Melvin Kates will give a specialty on the piano during this first act.
In the afternoon—the second act—which is given in two scenes—the students are assembled on the bleachers on McCook field watching the football game. "Spec." Brummage, manager of the show, said this morning that the entire game would be played right on the stage.
When manager Brummeap finishes sketching the setting for the first two acts, he refused to talk further, politely informing all that the third act would be a secret scene, would remain a secret till its production Wednesday night.
THE SENIOR PLAY REALLY HAS A PLOT
Am Analysis of Product From Each of Town Dairies Will Be Made.
"Yes, certainly our show has a plot," Brummage asserted, when asked if "Dope" was a conglomeration of local hits and features or really had pretenses of following out the truth. The truth that is the part we are keeping secret and I cannot tell you anything about the plot and its interwinnings.
The receiving parlor of the Women's Student Dormitory is the setting of the first act of the senior play, "Dope," which will be given for the first time Wednesday night in Bowersock's opera house. The women students and their guests are assembling there on the morning of the "big football game" of the year, swapping gossip, talking shop and living the life of all co-eds at the University.
Student Life Will Be Featured and a Sure 'Nuff Football Game Played
The federated women's clubs of Lawrence are conducting an analysis of the milk from each of the dairies of the town. Prof. H. L. Jackson of the department of chemistry is doing the work, and the analyses will determine the amount of butter-fat,
the amount of detrimental substances contained, and the cleanliness of the milk. So far the results have varied greatly as to the richness of the twelve or fifteen samples that have been tested.
This work will continue through the summer and the women are very anxious that it be thorough. For this reason they are particular that no dairies be overlooked. Those in charge to bring samples of their milk to the food laboratory in the chemistry building.
This work will have some practical value this summer and especially next fall and winter when the results will be complete.

W. S. G. A. Politics Create Much Interest—Three Candidates for President
Election day for women!
Education day for women.
Tomorrow the body politic of the women of the University will express their preference for officers of the Women's Student Government Association.

The three leaders are: Miss Dick Lupton, Miss Frederika Hoddler, and Miss Florence Payne.
The Weather.
Campaign talk is plentiful and many rumors are out of election promises and secret pledges which are emphatically denied by all three candidates.
Baro has not quite made up his mind whether he likes cold damp weather or not. In the interval he predicts unsettled condition and slightly rising temperature for tonight and to-morrow.
FINE ARTS FACULTY WANT NEW BUILDING
A Petition Will Be Presented to the Board of Regents
EVERYONE FAVORS THE PLAN
Professor Hubach Says the Housing of the Fine Arts School is the Most Neglected.
A petition is being circulated by the students and faculty of the School of Fine Arts asking that the Board of Regents provide them with a new building suitable to their needs. It says that the school has no unity on account of its scattered condition, the different departments being housed in the Administration building, North College, and Dick Brothers studio down town. The petition was started by Helen C. Woolsey, a sophomore, and has been signed by all the students and faculty in the School of Fine Arts. It is now being circulated among the alumni and Lawrence residents who are interested in it.
The petition is as follows:
Lawrence, Kans., May 2, 1912.
To the Honorable Board of Regents
of the University of Kansas—
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned members of the faculty and students of the School of Fine Arts of the University of Kansas, do hereby petition your honorable body to provide for and erect as soon as practicable, a suitable building for the School of Fine Arts. The present quarters are scattered, poor, and inconvenient, and there is no unity to the school as at present accommodated, and we deem its present inconveniences a discredit to the School and to the University. We request that the legislature be asked for a special appropriation for this purpose at their next session and pledge you our support in the effort to obtain same.
Very respectfully yours,
Signed by all the students and faculty of the School of Fine Arts.
Miss Louise A. Wiedeman, an instructor in piano and who has been in circulating the petition said: "Every one to whom it has been presented has been glad to sign it. Not only students of the School of Fine Arts, but every one connected with the University have been very much in favor of it."
"In speaking of the petition this morning, Professor Hubach said: "The Fine Arts School was one of the earliest to be organized, and has been the most neglected. The need of a new building is evident to everyone who comes to the North College building. Other schools which were founded later have new buildings. The School of Fine Arts ought to be given an attractive attracting building it is probable that the number of students would be doubled if we had a building at least adequate to our needs.
ATHLETIC BOARD SLOW
Negligence of Members in Attending Meetings Delays K Committee Action
Because of the failure of the athletic board to meet this noon in accordance with the notice given out, it was impossible to decide upon the report of the new K committee. This committee is taking under advice that he granting K by a system instead of by the manner now practiced.
The committee has at present a plan whereby this may be done, but the athletic board is negligent about meeting. The meeting today was a continued one from the meeting Saturday, but as only three student members and two faculty members were present it was unable to proceed with the meeting in its entirety meeting will be called when the various members can arouse enough interest among themselves to have a full attendance.
