Unenthusiastic Sitters
Few Spectators To Enjoy Kay Kyser's Exhibition
By George Sitterley, c'11
Yesterday only 750 of the 2600 spectator tickets to the Senior Cakewalk had been sold, said Charles Harnett, an assistant office, who is beginning to believe that Kay Kyser as a concert
KAY KYSER
artist has no great following at the University.
Kyser's reputation as a舞 band leader has been proven by the early sale of the limited block of dance tickets. His is the only name in the country to organize the dance organization for the varsity dance managers in recent years.

This monetary factor has been the source of much trouble for recent dance officials.
Dance Manager Don Wood heard on "good authority" that someone had printed and sold a number of counterfeit tickets, so the dance officials devised a method of checking the ducats.
All persons holding tickets must have them checked by the officials in central Frank Strong hall on Monday to insure that there will be a ticket available. It is not known whether the counterfeiter is a student or an outsider.
Printing and circulation of 'phon
tickets has not been proved, for the
authorities have not actually found
ont. But it has been decided to
make the test Monday morning because
authorities will be required
to pay admission fees for every per-
son on the dance floor according to
the contract with Kay Kyser. If
counterfeit tickets are used, the
University will have to stand the
loss.
Henry Werner, adviser of men, also showed concern over the information that University students had bought tickets and sold them to outsiders. By so doing they deprived themselves of an opportunity to dance to KYeur' music.
Until 1925 the Senior Cakewale was a class affair, where the members of the senior class had a rousing good time playing games and listening to recitations in either the gymnasium or a downtown hall. Some of the "faster set" indulged in some new waltz steps.
After 1925 the Cakewalk became a University party and has evolved into one of the major social events of the spring season on the Hill.
This year the dance is being held for the first time in the auditorium. Wraps will be checked in the lobby, but those with dance tickets must use any one of the side entrances that open directly on the dance floor. Spectator's tickets will be taken in the lobby.
Elliott Revises Socioloqu Text
The book has been judged by one critic as the "most scholarly organization and presentation of date pertinent to a course in social disorganization that has yet appeared." The book is used as a text in more than 125 colleges and universities in America.
Mabel A. Elliott, associate professor of sociology, is now completing a revision of her book, "Social Disorganization," which will be published in January by Harper Brothers, New York.
Professor Says Boy; Stork, Like Student, Does As He Pleases
You can dictate to a student but the stork is his own boss. W. D. Paden, associate professor of English, made that discovery when the stork planned to beawarded a rover girl, instead of the planned for-bay at his home. Mav 7.
But after he saw his new daughter, Professor Paden was willing to keep her. The stork made no return trip across the spires of Fraser. Miss Dagmar Rabbinth Paden is now an member of the Paden household.
Reading Institute Here in June
Four of the nation's outstanding reading specialists will be brought to the University of Kansas for a special Reading Institute to be held June 26 to July 1. The institute will offer training in reading skills and the School of Education.
★ Specialists in Problem of Proper Reading Will Be Sponsored by University
The stress on reading instruction is prompted by the discovery of educators that a vast number of students entering high schools and colleges do not know how to read properly. Teachers substantially agree with this notion, reading rapidly and with understanding constitutes the greatest single barrier to the scholastic and personal progress of students.
The specialists who will give instruction during the week are: Dr. Grace Arthur, Wilders clinic, St. Paul, Mum; Dr. Angela Bonchoa reading specialist, Baltimore, Md.; Miss Ruthinna Smith, Grand Island, Neb; and Miss Frances Mitchell, Teachers College reading laboratory, Columbia University, New York.
Dr. Lyle M. Powell, vision and hearing specialist of Lawrence; R. H. Wheeler, professor of psychology; A. H. Turney, professor of education; F. P. O'Brien, professor of education; F. O'Brien, professor of education, all of the University, will also be on the faculty of the Institute.
The institute, the first in this part of the country, is an extension course and has no direct connection with the regular summer session. The Institute will be open to all teachers in the county and will enter into the problem of reading. Guy V. Keller, assistant director of the Extension Division, is in charge.
Fifty Attend Psychology Picnic
About fifty members attended the annual spring picnic of the Psychology department of the University of Illinois at Chicago on Saturday afternoon at Holcom Grove.
Denn F. J. Moreau of the School of Law who returned last night from the meetings of the American Institute of Law held in Washington. Four hundred attended. Prof. J. B. Smith who accompanied him, will return today.
Said Dean Moreau: "The University School of Law will take a much more active part in the American Law Institute's work of restating the common law, Prof. P., W. Vieselman will probably assist in work on Evidence."
D. L Hartley, writer and editor of "Kansas Notes" in the Kansas City Star, will speak at the annual Kansan Board banquet in the Memorial Union building at 6:30 Wednesday evening.
Hartley To Speak At Kansan Banquet
DEAN FREDERICK J. MOREAU
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner of the department of zoology probably didn't tell his classes, but he is 68
Hartley graduated from the University in 1917 and was represented in the book "The Best News Stories of 1923" *Hairy C. Hesitses*, manoeuvre of the Topics Daily Capital, will also be a guest at the banquet.
The "Pee-Wee Kansan," scandal sheet *limnaming journalism students and professors* and published by the book, will be a feature of the banquet.
Four Placed in Jobs by Bureau

Lois Lippert, gr, will teach the fourth grade at Ladue. Mc. Lewis Copeland, fa'39, will teach music at Maple, and Helen M.eyer, fa'39, will teach music at
Dean Donald M. Swarthout, the man who leads the singing at convocations, gained proficiency in in handling crowds when he was camp song leader in the Student Corps during nursing corps at Millikin University.
Who's Who Exposes Profs
For University students the 1958-1939 edition of Who's Who will mean more than "Kansas fossils dated at last." In addition to the ages and birthdays of 41 Hill professors, it contains interesting bits of little known information about the meritorious conduct the affair of the University.
Did you know that Prof. W. O. Miesner of the department of public school music in the School of Fine Arts has written a series of baby grand operas on nursery tales? He put the three little pigs in music before Walt Disney thought of publicizing the stories he heard at his mother's knee. Among the famous authors who helped by Professor Miesner are Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Red Riding Hood.
Moore Speaks at 'Hi-Y' Assembly
More Speaks at Hi-T-I Assembly
John J. O. More, secretary of the Y.M.C.A., spoke at an assembly meeting of the Hi-Y club at the Lawrence Memorial High School, Thursday morning on vocations.

today. Who's Who says so. It also revealed that he was the man who started the campaign for the million dollar Stadium-Union fund.
Many University students have seen Prof. Albert Bloch's paintings on display in Spooner-Thayer museum. But how many know that contributed "Kindly Caricatures" to Reese's Mirror in St. Louis, Mo?
In the Student Directory, C. F Nelson is listed as professor of biochemistry. But his name is really Ferdinand, just like Mrun Leaf's bull. Professor Nelson was born in college so there's really no connection.
In the department of geology there is a professor who made a boat trip through the Grand Canyon in 1923. In addition Prof. Raymond C. Moore is one of the most prolific writers on the faculty. He has written eight books and a large number of magazine articles.
What is the Topoka Knife and Fork? Nobody seems to know but Dean Raymond A. Schwegler of the School of Education is listed as a member in Who's Who. Dean Schwegler, born bony Joseph Switzerland is an ordained Baptist minister. In 1903, he received his robes of office.
Dr. Florence B. Sherbon is a woman who isn't afraid to admit her age. Women students will be interested to know that she was superintendent of the University hospital at Iowa City in 1900. In 1918 she was in charge of physical education at the University.
Frances P. O'Brien of the School of Education added new methods of procedure to his teaching paraphernalia when he educated 400 aliens for citizenship at New Britain, Conn in 1918-20.
These are just a few of the interesting facts professors contribute to the book few of their students know except by reputation. Under unsoiled red covers, it hides unknown incidents in the lives of many teachers at the University. These are only a few.
