Those present sensed the quality of the material the boys were delivering and proceeded to get down to some point in the course of the hop predominate on the Hill were in evidence. Any number of impromptu exhibitions of "truckin" sprang up every once in a while.
Swelling and swinging to the "loose" music of Mr. Bob Crosby and company, between 1,000 and 1,200 people managed to hang up a new high in attendance for the union ballroom Friday night. According to Bill Cochrane, Union manager, over $1,000 was taken in from the sale of tickets to the annual Senior Cakewalk.

While not one full-dress suit an white tie adorned a Kansas male, the men presented almost as much variety in their clothes as did the women in theirs. Business suits and tuxedos were seen but the most popular for men was white cost, how tie, dark trousers or light shoes.
Because of the rainy weather many couples thought it best that they should stay on the Hill for the usual intermission refreshments. Such a decision by the majority of the crowd caused the nearby "hangouts" to be crowded so badly that their socialization through the crowd to take care of the ever-increasing number of orders.

When the sun beats on down Mt. Oread and the thermometer does more than a hundred in the shade, books become heavier than usual—and summer school students seek cool spots of the great out of doors.
Since almost all of the classes of the summer session meet in the morning between the hours of 7:30 and 12:20 o'clock, students do their studying in the coolest places they can find. For instance, some go out to the swimming pool at the edge of town and study between dips; others go to an air-conditioned harbor boy coke and study in a delightful garden. Many take advantage of the well-shaded spots of the Campus, particularly the wooded slope between the Administration and Memorial Union buildings.

Accept Wage Change
Washington, May 22—UP)—President Roosevelt, who should be recommended to treat Congress enact new legislation for federal regulation of hours and wages in industry has agreed to "substantial revisions" in the suggested draft of the legislation, it was learned tonight.
The basic purpose of the proposal would be to establish with a degree of flexibility a general standard of minimum wages and maximum hours in those basic industries which appear to be subject to federal jurisdiction, through the power to regulate interstate commerce.
A 40-hour week was discussed as the general goal. Regarding other aspects of the legislation it was understood that he had agreed to these modifications:
1. The basic minimum annual wage sought would be reduced from $1,500 to $1,200.
2. Double pay at a minimum of 80 cents an hour for overtime in excess of whatever basic work week might be established.
3. Make the legislation apply to companies employing 12 or more persons in interstate commerce in advance of 20 persons as first proposed.
4. Give the President power to bar imported goods unless they were manufactured under conditions liable to the wage-hour bill proposals.
Weather
Continued dampness probably resulting in wetness as finals near.
5. Shelve the Elenbogen bill establishing wage and hour in the textile industry.
of approximately 5000 persons, with a clear day and fast track, the Big Six trackmen were able to break only one record. Big Sam Francis, the Huskers' shot put artist, heaved the iron ball 51 feet $9\frac{1}{2}$ inches to break the existing record held by Does of Kansas of 51 feet $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches which he made in 1935.
Cyclones Win Mile Relay
Iowa State upset the dope in the mile relay and came within one tenth of a second of breaking the meet record. The Iowa State quartet stepped the distance in 3:17.8. Kansas placed second in the relay event with a time of 3:18.8.
Kansas won four firsts in the meet. In the pole vault the Kansas twins, Rain Noble and Don Bird, tied for first place at 13 feet even. The two Jayhawkers have been hauling the same height in a majority of this year, with the number of bumps taken determining the winner.
Jack Richardson, ace Kansas spinner came through with a double victory yesterday when he won the 100- and 200-dash dashes. Richardson stepped the century in 191 to breeze in ahead of a fast field. He recorded the record of '98-4 set by Mert of Iowa State in 1930.
Richardson won the 220-yard dash in 22 second flat which was three tens of a second a slower than locker's Nebraska record made in 1982.
Toribio Pulls Muscle
The expected sprint duel between Toribio of Oklahoma and Richardson did not develop because of a pulled muscle suffered by Toribio in the qualifying heats Friday. He ran the 100-yard dash with his leg heavily taped, but finished last in the event. The other Jayhawker to win a first was Fenlon Durand in the javelin event. Durand bettered his qualifying throw by 15 feet to take first place.
Nelson, Oklahoma high hurdler, edged out Cardwell, of Nebraska in this event, taking the lead over the last two sticks. His time was 152.3. Browns also staged an upset when he broke the 400 in the fast time of .49.1.
