UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME IX.
SENIORS' CLASS DAY WILL BE DIFFERENT
Class of 1912 Will Start Innovation During CommencementWeek
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 20, 1912.
COMPLETE PROGRAM IS GIVEN
Commencement Exercises And Alumni Banquet June 5-Week is Full of Festivities.
The Commencement week program is now complete and was given out in its entirety by L. N. Flint, the secretary of the Alumni Association this morning.
Several innovations will be made by the senior class this year on Class Day, June 4. The toot pole exercises which have always been held in the hot sun in front of Fraser Hall will be given in the grove west of Snow Hall. The members of this year's class, even if they must go out as half-baked examples of American citizens, which opponents to college always maintain is the true description of seniors, do not desire to be broiled in the process
The class breakfast has been reintroduced as a feature of Class Day this year. The farewell to buildings, where speeches are made in front of the main buildings of the campus by members of the class, will be better arranged by this year's seniors. In previous years but few of the spectators could hear the talks on account of a lack of adequate platform. The committee will arrange for official boxes of the decorated dry goods sort from which the speakers must talk, and box bearers will be appointed to transport them, (the boxes not the speakers) to the different buildings.

ADHERE TO QUIZ SCHEDULE
Chancellor Strong Says Examinations Must be taken at Time Set.
"Teachers and students," said Chancellor Strong this morning, "should adhere strictly to the schedule of final examinations adopted by the University Council. The Council alone has authority in the matter."
A great deal of confusion has resulted from the fact that certain instructors have announced examinations for other dates that those set forth by the authorized schedule. This causes trouble in other courses, and even when the course is not conflict, leads students to pitfall the other professor for an earlier date.
The regents have made it a rule that examinations must be held, and if these finals are not held at the authorized time, it may result in difficulty in getting the final grades recognized by the registrar.
KAPPA SIGMA HOLDS FORMAL INSTALLATION
Twenty-Three Men Initiated Into the Gamma Omicron
Chapter
The installation of Gamma Omicron chapter of Kappa Sigma took place last Saturday in the I. O. O. F. halls. Seventy-five members from the chan-
ters from Washburn, Baker and William Jewell, together with Lynn W. Bloom, Worthy Grand Master of the twelfth district, were here and conducted the initiation which started at nine o'clock in the morning and was not concluded until ten o'clock next morning.
Twenty three men received the ritual. The initiation was in charge of Grand Master Bloom, assisted by J. T. Trimble of William Jewell, G. W. Stevenson and R. C. Coffman of Baker, and A. B. Miller and W. W. Drum of Washburn.
After the initiation, a banquet was served.

On account of the out-of-town game Saturday between the Oread Golf club team and that of the Fort Leavenworth Field club, which took many of the local players to Leavenworth, the time for completing the first round of the third annual handicap tournament of the Oread club has been extended one day. Four of the matches were played last week this afternoon.
The second round must be com pleted by Thursday, of this week and the semi-finals by Monday, of next week, while the finals will be played on a date to be arranged later.

DISCUSS PREVENTION OF CRIME IN KANSAS
Kansas Institute of Criminology Formulate Plans for New Criminal Legislation
COMPOSED OF PROMINENT MEN
NUMBER 85.
Membership of Organization Shoul Stigmatize Any Unjust Criticism of its Investigations
The first meeting of the Kansas Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology held Friday and Saturday, adjourned Saturday, after having accomplished a great deal in the furtherance of construction of proper criminal laws.
Nine committees for the investigation and discussion of various problems were appointed and made their reports. Most of these committees, recommended that permanent committees be appointed to make a more thorough investigation of the problems, the results of law enacted in other states for the purpose of remedying these defects.
The problems discussed by these committees were:
"Offenses and their prosecution."
"Trial procedure."
"The jury."
"The county attorney."
The adult offender.
Juvenile courts.
The criminal insane."
Appeals and proceedings in error.
This institute is an organization made up of lawyers, judges, physicians, sociologists, psychologists, penologists, charity workers, teachers of law, and of public school men who are seeking to advertise authoritatively the merits of our laws and courts, and the need of thorough, scientific, and continued study of the criminal law and its administration in this state.
"Appeals and proceedings in error,"
"Cruise and protection of errors."
They feel that the expert knowledge of the different professions represented in this organization and the combined standing of its members will enable it to stigmatize unjust criticism, and its investigations will, by union of effort and experience, give good results.
The Acacia fraternity entertained the Alpha Delta Phi sorority with an informal dinner and boating party Saturday night.
Miss Helen Geissner, a graduate of the University, will teach mathematics in the Clay Center high school this fall.
Mrs. A. Henley, one of the Chi Omega's patronesses, entertained the Chi Omegas at dinner Saturday, May 18.

OREAD MAG BEATS
PREVIOUS RECORD
At the regular meeting of the K. U. Debating Society last week two important questions were debated. The first debate was on the question, "Resolved that the State of Kansas should adopt the Initiative and Referendum."
Things Happen With a Vengeance in the May Issue of that Publication
The second debate, "Resolved that the United States should interfere in Mexico," was given a decision for the first time, supported by Adair, Poors and Boman.
Kimball, Fairechild and Houghton were the affirmative speakers.
AMMONS' STORY IS FEATURE
The negative, upheld by McClure, Hoyt and Edwards, won the decision of the judges.
Hoyt, Meissner and Bennet spoke on the negative. Hoyt and Bennett substituted for two men who were unaware of the difference; therefore spoke without preparation.
Two Important Questions Wer Up Before the Society Last Week
Earl, F Ammons, erstwhile demoliser of half-backs and right field fences, has written a story. It's a football story with a local setting, and the Oread Magazine which comes off the press next Thursday, prints it.
DEBATERS TALK LONG TALKED TO Y. M. C. A.
Fred Scott, age twenty and bow legged, is a freshman in college who has heard tales of "beer busts," and tried to go and do likewise—to his sorrow. Ellis Davidson tells of him, in "For Every Idle Word."
Football Captain Writes "His Whit ened Reputation" to Satisfy Critics in Short-Story Class.
Miss Helen Hurst of Kansas City who has been the guest of Elizabeth DeBord, returned to her home this morning.
Ammons' story has a history. Two months ago, some individuals in the short story class chided the ex-f football captain about his style in writing. The Rock "Crusher" looked grieved. Then he announced, "I'll just show me some things." Watch me. Whereupon they head and bedpan on "His Whitened Reputation." It is finished now, and the readers of the May Oread will see it.
Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Bideau left Saturday night for their home in Chanute after spending the week with their daughter Edith Mac, a senior in the College.
Other writers of the May Oread, area Willard Wattles, Asher Hobson, Ruth Van Doren and Miriam Smyth. The Magazine will be on sale both Thursday and Friday of this week.
Jack Williams, who has written other stories for the Oreand, appears this month with a tale of a real forest fire in the far north. Jack was in a Canadian lake, last summer with only his face above water when the fire swept over him, and his tale is realistic in the extreme.
In "Rope Burn," a western story by Guy Von Schrittle, a mean bronc, a hard-twist rope, and a girl from the east perform and cause Mark Wilson pain—and joy. Earl Potter, who is noted for his fearful writings, relieves his system of some of those sad, sad, thoughts about "Laundries" and "Golf." Equally sad is the story of "Bobtail, dat nigah what got de best ob debil." Bobtail is the creation of Hermione Sterling.
Pan-Hellenic will entertain the Phi Alpha Delta sorority with a tea, Tuesday afternoon, from four to six, at the Chi Omega house.
Reese Ryland, of Kansas City, is visiting at the Sig Alph house.
Miss Thekla Wolfenkuhler, of Leavenworth, spent Sunday at the Chi Omega house.
In Absence of Mr. Beardsley Professor Hill Addressed the Meeting
Meeting
At the meeting of the Y. M. C. A. lsat week, the last regular meeting of the year, H. M. Beardside was to have spoken but was unable to be there, Mr. Bairdside was present to introduce Mr. Beardside as called upon and made a short talk.
"The real agents of civilization," declared Prof. Hill, "are the serious minded, law abiding men The University depends upon this kind of men. Many of us must perform the service of the little lights of New York harbor, their work being to aid the one great light of the harbor."
Professor J. E. Boodin in a few remarks said "Loyalty must be the quality of every man who is sincere. Our great leaders are merely the focus of what is going on around us. In what everywork you may engage try to improve with the purpose of improving your community and humanity."
NO FINAL EXAMINATIONS
HELD IN GYM CLASSES
All Absences Must be Made Up Before the Commencement of Examination Week.
There will be no special exercises in gymsmats for the final examinations. The work of the year is required to be completed, the week before examination week.
The Freshmen girls are completing their work this year by learning the Dutch and Spanish dances. The Irish and Gilgamesh and the Highland Fling art. required.
There are three special requirements for the boys. They are "chinning," the "dip" and climbing along a fifteen foot horizontal ladder seven feet from the ground. The purpose of "chinning" is to allow the upper part of the arm, while the "dip" develops the under muscles of the upper arm.
The Freshmen boys have been put through a course, this year, in such a manner as to establish a certain method for next year's freshmen.
"The rule hereafter," says Mr. Root, the instructor of the boy's gymnasium, "will be that unless the freshmen have satisfactorily completed the requirement course, they will be obliged to take it." The same will until they give complete satisfaction."
Miss May Hunter of Leavenworth spent Saturday and Sunday at the Chio Omego house, a guest of Edith Van Eman.
