Masque Club Chooses Officers
Miss Lois Emma Baer's Formal Application Received This Morning
--a Browningigerous little unhymed- stanzational poem which after careful study permits itself to be understood. The reward to the reader is worth the many attentive readings that are required for its comprehension.
The Men's Student Council of the University of Kansas extends a hearty invitation to all members of the faculty to be present on "Students' Day," in Fraser Hall, May 24, 1912, at 10:00 a. m.
WHAT WILL CLASS GIVE HER?
Half of Members Favors a Loving
Cup While Others Sniff at an Ordinary Rememberance.
The the class of 1911 meets at the University for its first reunion week after next, it will find itself confronted by an issue which will make the session of more than ordinary interest. The issue will be to determine what the class is going to do for the class baby, whose formal application for the position was received this morning by J. W. Murray, permanent secretary of the class.
Lois Emma Baer, whose father is Roy H. Baer, a graduate of the School of Law last year, was born at Ness City, April 12. It was agreed last year that the first child born to a member of the class should become the little Miss Baer, who believed that little Miss Baer will have no rival claimant for the class honor.
Just how the class will express its appreciation to Miss Baer for allying herself with it has not been determined. About every other member approached says "Give her a loving cup." But some of the members rebel at the idea of a loving cup. They say that a loving cup is the most useless thing on earth, and that one can get a loving cup for almost anything. "Something more original than a loving cup" is their demand. This is the issue the class will have to settle at its reunion. Roy H. Baer was married shortly after his graduation last June. He is practicing law at Ness City.
MAY OREAD APPEARS IN BEAUTIFUL COVER
Although Somewhat Thin the Mag Contains Considerable Good Reading Matter
The Oread Magazine for May is out and is on sale today. It is a trifle thin, this month, but as is explained editorially all the available literary on the Hill will be found between its covers. The first story, and the best one, is a football tale by Earl Ammons. It covers the ineligibilities and subsequent white-washing of a football star. The ending of the story is weak.
(BY GROUCHY GILIHAN)
"Rope Burn" by Guy Von Schrillz, is a well told yarn of a western cowboy and his love for a girl whom, he rather unnecessarily suspects of having siced her dog on him. But for a tew item, the story is good. It is the most interesting stuff in the book, aside from the local interest of Ammons' story.
"His Last Scool" is a graphically descriptive story of the forest fires at Lake Porcupine ne last summer. Jack Williams, the author, underwent the experiences described and he certainly makes one appreciate the temperature of a cake of ice. The tragic death of a victim in the fire is at once unnecessary and yet it serves in a measure to bring out the horror of the fire.
"The Choice," by Ruth Van Doren is delightfully plotless, but it is a vivid, although mixed-up, bit of character sketching. "Chapel-cut Chuckels" by Earl Potter, after the pest pocket essential crimes of George Fitch, are rarely so very lists of fancy ones, only a little stunned in spets. "Penneck Gits Even" is a dialect story by Asher Hobson. It shows that careful and painstaking work has been spent on it. The plot is ingenious and except for the ase eand readiness with which the characters change their opinion and prejudices, it is consistent. 'For Every Idle Word' is by El himself. It is rather mixed up and pointless from a technical point of view, but is a good story, interesting. The moral is apparent and is a useful one to consider.
"Mosaics," by Miriam Smyth.
CHANCELLOR FRANK STRONG Who is Completing His Tenth Year of Service for Kansas and the University
Willard Wattles, a former student and instructor at the University has printed "A Page from America's Psaler." It is a poem of social problems in America today, and is a call for a better times. "How de Debil he Beat Bobtail" is a story after the Uncle Remus school. In it Mi S Hermione Sterling writes a charming biography of folk-lore told in amusing but monotonous manner, which is characteristic of the old dark story teller who is depicted.
CLIFFORD F. ROYER
PLEASES AUDIENCE
Mr. Royer's voice is a rich, full, resonant tenor and showed much careful training. His interpretations were good and the audience was well pleased. His accompaniments played by Miss Etta Hess were especially well rendered.
The Song Recital by Clifford F. Royer, given in Frasier Hall last night was well attended. The Program con- lined with songs of Italian, German and English songs.

ELECTRIACL BUILDS DYNAMO

R. W. Budd Has Been Spending Sparr Time on Electrical Appatus.
Roy W. Budd, a junior electrical engineer is building a dynamo at the Fowler Shops.
Besides his labor on the machine he has had to spend only thirty-six dollars for material where as a dynamo compactor would cost about eighty-five dollars.
Mr. Budd has been working on the dynamo most of his spure time this year and has made all its parts.
"When completed the dynamo will be placed in a shop at Kansas City, Missouri, his cousin, Arthur Upton, are associated together in the electrical business.
Washburn Student Council Dies. The movement for a Student Council at Washburn which was so enthusiastically pushed by the student body a short time ago may die for lack of faculty support.
The proposed constitution was submitted to the faculty May 2, but as yet no action has been taken by them, and it is now so late in the year, that an organization probably will not be perfected this spring .

MOTHER EARTH WAS SHAKING LAST NIGHT
Seismograph Registered Largest Quake of Year Between 9 and 10 o'clock
The preliminary tremor began at 9 o'clock and the main wave at 9:36. The whole disturbance lasted one hour and ten minutes.
The seismograph in the basement of Fraser Hall registered an earthquake last night. This quake is the largest one that has been registered this year.
Professor Cady said that it was impossible to tell from what direction the disturbance came, but that the intensity showed it was about 6,400 miles from here. A seismograph at Cleveland, Ohio registered an earthquake last night at 9:15 but was unable to tell the direction of the disturbance According to Professor Cady the difference in time between the two readings was due to the difference in the sensitivity of the two seismographs. The one used here at the University is of a different make than the one at Cleveland and is more sensitive.

The Weather.
The meter twins were both very happy this morning for they believed that there is some possibility of showers for tomorrow. Their little white house gets rather hot these days and a shower would suit perfectly.
