Ten of the University's favorite sons will return for the Seventy-fifth Anniversary in June.
Remarkable is the fact that out of twelve top-notch speakers who will appear on the program, ten are former students at the University. The two who did not attend the University are Governor Payne Ratner and the Rev. Frederic C. Lawrence.
Raymond Clapper, eminent Washington columnist, who will speak at the Flint dinner June 5, was a student in Professor Flint's classes in 1917.
Dr. Alexander Wetmore, director of the National museum, Washington, D.C., class of 1912, will deliver the address at the reopening of Dyche museum June 6.
Dr. Clarence E. McClung, class of 1892, head of the department of zoology at Pennsylvania University, will conduct a symposium on "Science at the University of Kansas."
Elmer V. McCollum, class of 1003,
of Johns Hopkins, will speak on "The
Making of a Productive Scientist."
Harold D. Smith, United States Budget director, of the class of 1922 will address a forum Sunday afternoon on "Democracy on Trial."
The Seventy-fifth Anniversary dinner in the Memorial ballroom will include a talk by Ben Hibbs, editor of "Country Gentleman."
Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Governor Payne Ratner will greet the seniors at Commencement exercises Monday night. William Allen White, famous Emporia editor, will also be here for much of the celebration, as will F. M. Harris, chairman of the Board of Regents.
Dr. George F. Zook, 1906, president of the American Council of Education in Washington, D.C., will conduct a symposium on "Some Future Problems in Higher Education," and Charles C. Dennie, 1912, Kansas City physician, will ask "Do You Want Your Boy to be a Doctor?"
Student Composers Hear Creations
Students in the classes in composition had the opportunity to hear their own musical creations in a recital of original compositions in Frank强 auditorium last night.
Marshall Butler, special fine arts student, played three piano selections which were composed last fall by students under the direction of Prof. Charles Sanford Skillon.
A symphonetta by George Hauptfeuhrer, graduate, opened the recital and proved to be one of the evening's best numbers.

Iowa Girls Can Put Glamor Into Basketball
Des Moines, Iowa—(UP)—Girls who are athletic may be tombos in some states, but not in Iowa.
The girls go on the court with lip-stick, with ribbons in their hair and handkerchiefs in the pockets of their blouses. Some of them wear luck charms. Some of the standout tournament players are beigeed by male admirers for autographs.
In Iowa, they're idolized.
Some fans believe there are more thrills in girls' court play than in boys'.
The emotional strain is harder on the girls. Tears among the losers in a hard-fought game are frequent. One member of a losing team fainted from excitement after the game in the state tournament here.
This robust plains state which claims that its corn is the tallest in the nation also likes to think that its girls' basketball teams are the best in the country.
Another feminine note is the use of the white ball.
Girl cagers set new records in Iowa this year in number of spectators, number of participants and caliber of play. In all three the girls ranked only slightly below the boys.
Rules also are somewhat different to prevent body contact. Sentiment is noticeable to revise them to resemble men's regulations by preventing tall forwards from rolling up huge point totals. (The girls' state record is 46 points in a single game—more than a point a minute).
Guards are not allowed to block under-the-basket shots by attempting to gain control of the ball, except on rebounds. It has been suggested
that guards be allowed to block shots. Or that the three-second time limit be put into effect in the free throw lane, the same as in men's basketball. This would improve floor play, also, it is contended.
Those who suggest that girls are poorer shots than boys will be impressed that the boys' tournament teams this year average .247 on field goal attempts while the girls averaged .341.
