—Rumors About the Football
Game
It was rumored today that in the football game which takes place in the second act, Kansas loses to an ancient and valiant or perhaps more versatile enemy, and the remainder of the play shows how and why the defeat was administered to the varsity team on their home gridiron.
However, the detective work of the reporters has been to no avail, for the manager refuses to admit any other than those who are taking part in the show to enter the theater for rehearsals—the members of the cast were sworn to secrecy before they were given roles in the play—and the manager refuses to talk.

Every effort has been made by the Daily Kansan to learn the secret of the plot and action of the senior play, "Dope" that will be given for the first time tonight in Bowersock's theater.
Just how this is accomplished, remains a profound secret and the best

that the curious can do is to run the risk of being scored among the one hundred and one local hits and see the play produced.

Manager Brummage said this morning that all the special scenery for making McCook feld on the stage had arrived from the Willis Wood theater in Kansas City and the feat accomplishments were received last week. He is a student of giving the students one of the best student production ever.

TO AVOID MISTAKES
Every year some students find they have taken courses in the summer session which do not satisfy University requirements. Students are admitted without regard to these requirements, and therefore never, never the less be met for graduation.
Those who wish to may pay their fees and complete their registration at that time.
To avoid such mistakes students should enroll early and Prof. Walker has kept certain office hours, which will be posted later, at 202 Fraser, students wishing to enroll, and advise them in regard to the requirements.
Professor Johnson, High School Visitor, will make a trip through southern Kansas this week, visiting the towns, Thayer, Neodesha, and Caney.

Quiz Schedule Decided a University Council Meeting Yesterday
Because May 30 is Holiday All Examinations Could Not be Finished The Last Week
The Last Week.
The time of the final examinations is drawing near. The bleary-eyed, horned head, cloven hoofed monster which makes his appearance at least twice each year and who sends his impish off-springs at divers others periods in the course of the daily grind, will show up next week.
The University council met yesterday and extended a special invitation to the bogy, and the examinations are scheduled as follows:
11:15 classes, Saturday morning,
May 25.
10:15 classes, Monday morning,
May 27.
1:30 classes, Friday afternoon,May 24.
2:30 classes, Tuesday morning, May 28.
4:30 classes, Tuesday afternoon,
May 28.
8:00 classes,' Wednesday morning May 29.
3:30 classes, Wednesday afternoon,
May 29.
9:00 classes, Friday morning, May 31.
Three hour classes will be examined in
10:00 if scheduled for the
morning; 13:00 until 3:30 if scheduled
for the afternoon.
Two hour classes will be examined from 10:20 to 12:00, if scheduled for the morning; 3:50 to 5:30 if scheduled for the afternoon.
At the regular meeting of the K. U.
Debating Society at 7:45 Thursday
evening, two questions of great moment
no will doubt be settled. The subject
of the first debate will be, "Resolved
that the State of Kansas should adopt
the Initiative and Referendum" and
for the second debate, "Resolved that
The United States should intervene
in Mexico."
Laboratory classes are to be examined at the time corresponding to schedule above to the first laboratory period or at the time corresponding to the last (an hour exists) at the discretion of the head of the department concerned.
All University classes will be vacated after chapel on Friday, May 24.
Ada May Morris, of Kansas City,
will spend this week-end with Frolence
Nutter, a freshman in the College.
The reason for the commencement of the examinations the latter part of next week instead of at the beginning of week after next, is because May 30 is on Friday and on that account it is impossible to get all the examinations in that week.

1912 JAYHAWKER IS A SUMPTUOUS "K" BOOK
Annual Is a Collection of Rare Photographs and Drawings
ON SALE AT "DOPE" TONIGHT
Only Six Hundred Books Left in This Edition—Carl Cannon Was Editor and Clark Wallace Manager
Bound in black leather with title design in gold, the more than five hundred pages of art work, the product of months of labor.
The 1912 Jayhawker annual which will be out tonight after the first act of the senior play, has been pronounced the most sumptuous, most carefully edited,-the best book that ever has been published at the University.
the part of the editor, Carl L. Cannon, and the business manager, Clark Wheeler, give to the student body both a University book that he will prize forever and a memory book that he will turn in to days to come, and his thoughts will be made more vivid of the "good old" times at K. U.
The arrangement of the eight departments of this book is altogether different from that of any other published. The departments in their order are: the campus, Seniors, Organizations, Fraternities, Athletics, Dramatics, Faculty and L'Alegré or I Penseroso,—the picture-magazine section.
All the departments are introduced by a picture taken from classic Greek and Roman mythology, each with its own special material that appears in its part.
An elegant appearance is given to the pages of the volume by a screen border design depicting the Universe in distance in the glooming of evening.
Upon the paper that was secured for the book, the half-tone cuts and the sixteen duo-tone pictures of campus scenes afforded the printer an opportunity to show his art and this is one of the features that will make the book popular. The pictures that were worked-up into the duo-tone plates were furnished by Louis Wilhelm. Many of the cartoons and drawings were done by Maloy, Wellhouse, and Weede. One of the most catchy sections of the magazine part was done by Weede who drew cartoons for seventy heads of campus celebrities.
In the part devoted to the Campus, pictures of the Glee Club members on their trip to the western coast illustrate the account of the journey, and photographic illustrations depict the camp life of the men of the University Company of the National Guard who went to Fort Riley last summer. The annual this year is the work of men who have planned their book from the beginning. Classification of the various items that have been submitted to the editor for their proper departments has been insisted upon. It is an immense, ideal "K" book for the student to take home.
MUSEUM EGET SPECIMEN
OF JAPANESE GIANT CRAB
Mrs. A. Henley, of Lawrence has donated a specimen of the giant sea crab of Japan to the University Museum. Mrs. Henley, who is somewhat of a naturalist herself, and has made several valuable contributions to the museum, secured the crab from her brother, Walter Coffin, of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Coffin obtained the specimen while lately traveling in Japan.
The crab is found chiefly in the waters of Japan, and is the largest living crustacean except the giant cuttlefish. It is twelve feet in extent from the tips of its claws. The largest specimen on exhibition is in the British museum, measuring eighteen feet and the largest ever known was about twenty-two feet in extent.
The specimen will be especially valuable as an addition to the Arthropod collection of the museum. At present it is being prepared and put together by H. T. Martin of the paleontology department. Later it will be placed on exhibit on the upper floor of the museum.
