UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas 1 NUMBER 168 VOLUME XXX LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, MAY 14, 1833 KANSAS TRIMS TIGERMEN FIVE TIMES IN ROW By Most One-Sided Score in 30 Years, Jayhawker Wins the Annual Track Meet, 1-3 to 27 2-3 TWO RECORDS MADE Cunningham Does New Time for Mile; Dees Extends Shot Record By Paul Woodmansc. c'34 By Paul Woodnaseur, c24 By defeating Missouri in a dual track meet here yesterday with a score of 103 1-3 to 27 2-3 Kansas ran up the highest score that has yet been made by either team in dual competition. The record was formerly held by the 1931 Jayhawk team which won by a score of 92 to 39. This is Kansa's fifth successive victory over Missouri. Two meet records were broken. Gleenn Cunningham set a new record in the mile run with the time of 4.20.3 breaking his 1932 mark of 4:23. Elwyn Dees broke a record of five years' standing in the shot put, throwing the shot 50 feet. 9 inches. The record was won by Jeremiah Inwood of Kansas and was set in 1927. In the feature events of the meet, the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard dash, Ed Hall was the victor in both, nosing out Woody Haffold of Missouri in the century in the time of 10 seconds flat, and running the 220 in .23. Before the meet there was much speculation as to the outcome of these events. Hall has come to the front this year as the outstanding dash man of the Big Six conference. In the Haskell meet he ran the 100-yard dash with a time in .21. Haffold's best times, however, do not vary much from those of the Joy Hawkeywinder. In a meet with Iowa State recently he ran the 160 in .96 and the 220 in .21.5. Meet a Kansas Wankaway The meet in itself was a walkaway. Missouri took but three firsts out of 15 events. These were the 400-yard, 440-yard, 890-yard and the two-mile run. In each of these events, however, Kansas finished with men in the second and third positions. The Jayhawkers swept five events, completely; they being the 120-yard high hurdles, shot put, 220-yard low hurdles, javelin throw, and the discuss throw. They also won the mile relay. Although the day was ideal, the track was a little soft and therefore slower than it could have been, due to the large crowd. Very small crowds witnessed the meet. The Summary Cunningham had planned to run in the quarter, but changed his mind at the last moment to save himself for the relay. The 440 was won by Cooper, Missouri, in :501. In the mule relay, however, the Kansas star, running anchor for the team, ran the quarter in the fine time of the event, and the old-match event, would have broken the old meet record of :49.5 set by Hurley of Maryland in 1929.

DANCERS CAVORT, PIROUETTE AND STUMBLE AT MUSIC BALL With the wide sweeping strokes of a baton, Henry Halstead and his boys wrote social history on Mt. Oread last night. Hundreds of carefully enameled young women and natttly dressed young men came to cavort, pirouette, and sometimes stumble at the Music Week hall in the Memorial Union. Here was a musical event in the week's festivities which could be understood and appreciated by the aesthetically null and voll students who make up a disgusting majority of the University student body. Henry Hulnead and his boys put it out straight from the shoulder, and could they take it! No small part of the band's success was the chorus work presented by the Hilger Recital Concludes Music Week Festivities Trio Appears in Complimentary Concert Program The Hilger sisters in their recital Friday evening at the University auditorium closed the Music Week festival here, presenting a complimentary offering of the University concert course management. Maria, the violinist; Elsa, cellist; and Grietta, pianist, offered solo and concerted work. The program opened with a rehearsal of Double Converter for violin and cello. Elsa Hiler next appeared as soloist in the difficult Rocco Variolis by Tschakowsky. The audience awarded her an ovation at the close of the number, forcing her to respond with two encores, the Popper "Spinning Song" and an arrangement for cello of the Chopin E flat Nocturne. Maria Hilger in the Sarasate "Faust Fantasie" won the favor of the audience with the presentation of this seldom heard number. For an encore, she returned with a "Bohemian Dance" by Sevelk. The Handel Passacaglia, arranged for violin and cello followed next, with the closing offering being three movements of a trio from Henry Hadley. The trio was composed only last year by Mr. Hadley, the well-known American composer and conductor, especially for the Hilger Trio. Many from the audience came forward at the close of the concert to express to the Hilger sisters their appreciation of the recital. The musicians let off a fountain of applause for New Jersey where they are scheduled for a number of concerts in the East. COURT GRANTS PERMISSION FOR TRANSFER OF PROPERTY Permission to transfer the title of a piece of property south of the University campus to the Kansas Physical Education corporation was granted yesterday by Judge Hugh Means of the Douglas county district court. The property had been held by the Kansas Endowment association as a convenience to the physical education corporation since 1924. The court ruled that the endowment association did not violate its charter by the transference of the title, since the corporation was the actual owner of the property. A friendly suit was instituted by the physical education corporation in order to obtain a clear title to the property in order that it might be used as security for a loan. Organize Jayhawk Junior Club A Jayhawk junior club which will enable Junior high school and grade school students to attend the activities in the stadium next fall is being organized by a group of University student leaders. Allen head of the athletic department, supports this plan which calls for cheerleaders and a special reserved section in the stadium. Members of the club will see the three football games and the Kansas Relays at a special price. HOW THE POINTS WERE SCORED Event Kan. Mo.

It is unofficially reported that three fraternity badges made the leap from vests to dresses under the influence of these two singers. Totals ... 103 1-3 27 2-3 Phil McKnight, c33, master of ceremonies, hovered over the dancing couples like an anxious mother, attempting to see that everyone had a good time. Sporting a light double-breasted suit the dance manager added a bright red carnation to complete the effect. Various reasons advanced for the wearing of the buttoniere were he loves it, it was given to him by a friend; a red carnation in the language of love signifies: "I am looking for a sweetheart"; and, it was a means of identification for an unknown admirer. Probably the smoothest piece of social strategy ever employed on this campus was the plan of the Kappas to give a lawn buffet luncheon (or what ever such things are called) shortly before the Music Week ball was to begin. The schemers asked dates over for the affair, and what could the poor, duped lads do but ask the girls to the Hill party afterwards. Judging from the number of Kappas in attendance, the intrigue was successful. No review of this sort is complete without a word or two about the decorations and the dress of the partici- (Continued on page 3) Alumni Seek Members for Committee of 100 Governor and Chancellor to Speak at Meeting in Kansas City Campaigning for members to join the Committee of 100, the Alumni association will carry forward the drive at a banquet May 24 in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansan Officials Select Five Main Stories of Year Linsey, Activity Plan, Frat Tax, Cairn and Dyche Museum Events Featured Murders, fires, and terrible accidents or the happenings which supply much of the sensational news for metropolitan papers was entirely lacking on the University Daily Kansan stories carried during the last school year. Reviewing the most important news events occurring on the campus, the Kanam Staff has selected five events as being the most outstanding of the year. The events chosen were those concernin- g the demise of the Rock Chalk Cairn closing of Dyche Museum, and the appointment of Ad Lindsay as head coach In listing these stories the Men's Student Council election was not considered, since the selection of officers is a yearly occurrence. Stories which were printed in the Kansan on events happening outside of Lawrence were omitted from the selection and accounts of athletic events, though of great interest at the time, were likewise disregarded. All the above named events originated during the first semester. Some of them continued through and were延续 until late in the spring semester. Tax Question Unusual The fraternity tax situation which had been under discussion for a long time became of such unusual interest that it warranted the issuance of an act to restrict the court of Kansas held the fraternity tax valid by defining the "dormitory" statute in the constitution. On April 2 the matter was brought up again when the county attorney Richard B. Stevens, brought up the constitutionality of the law recently passed by the state legislature canceling such real and personal property taxes in Riley and Douglas counties while the court was discussing the law. The story on the general activity plan which started with small news items in Student Council reports during the early part of November had grown to be of interest to nearly every student on the campus at the time of the Conversation called to present the plan on Jan. 11, the day before the student body vote was taken. It was again displayed in large headlines when a majority of students approved the plan without the publications listed on the second general student vote. The plan was approved by both student govern-ring groups and the Chancellor, and is again played up in this issue by being finally accepted by the Board of Regents. Destruction of Cairn Important The Rock Chalk Cairn's destruction created an important story on Jan. 8, when vandals, apparently without motive, changed the historical monument into a heap of stones. The lawbreakers were not apprehended. The Cairn has just recently been reconstructed. Dyche Museum was declared unsafe for use by the Board of Regents in the Nov. 30 issue of the paper. Questions of where classes regularly held there would be transferred were answered in later issues when the commons building was made ready for housing the anatomy department. A special building was erected for storing heavy specimens from the museum. During the last week some work has been started toward its rebuilding. The upset in the coaching staff o. the University of Kansas, when the athletic board announced the appointment of Ad Lindsay to head coach created interest elsewhere as well as on the campus with its appearance in the Kansan Oct. 10. Y.M.C.A. OFFICERS TO HOLD RETREAT AT BROADVIEW IN A retreat for the officers and prospective cabinet members of the Y.M.C.A. will be held today at Broadview inn. At this time about 25 men will meet to discuss the policy and program for the organization next year. It is to be a day of study and concentration on problems facing the group next fall. Breakfast will be served at 8:30 o'clock. Study groups will be conducted till 12, and dinner will be served at 12. Students will be voted to study and rest. The group will return to Lawrence about 5 o'clock in the evening. Approve Council Plan to Compel Students to Purchase Tickets Beginning Next Fal Six-Dollar Extra Enrollment Charge Will Be Offset by Cut in Tuition Costs; All Activities Except Basketball and Publications Included Word of the official approval by the Board of Regents of the compulsory activity fee plan was received yesterday by the University authorities. Beginning with the fall semester each student enrolling in the University will be compelled to pay $8.75 a year but the compulsory fee will be offset by a 25 per cent reduction in enrollment charges. Final sanction to the plan was given by the Board of Regents at a meeting in Topkape last Saturday. School of Fine Arts Brings Series of Offerings to Close [two Seniors to Give Recital The activity fee as it now stands includes all activities except publications, namely the University Daily Kansan and the Jay- The last of the series of senior recitals from the School of Fine Arts occurs tomorrow evening at 8 when Miss Loda Newcomb, a pupil of Professor Howard C.

G.A. last Tuesday night at its regular meeting. hawker, and basketball games, which were withheld from the ticket because of the limited space in the auditorium. Season basketball tickets may be bought for $1.50 extra, under the plan. Payment for the activity tickets will be made at the beginning of the semester when other fees are paid. Six dollars will be demanded for the first semester and $2.75 for the second installment at the beginning of the second semester. Exemptions to Be Strict Regarding exemptions from the compulsory activity ticket, the plan as approved by the student government associations and the Board of Regents "Students may make application for exemption from the activity fee to the Chancellor, or to a representative committee appointed by him. "That if a committee is so appointed, it should be composed of persons intimately connected with student life; and that exemptions should be very much tacit to those students who would be forced out of school unless so exempted." The suggestion for the activity plan first was introduced in the council after a Big Six conference of student council members in Lincoln, Neb. The council, under the leadership of President Harold Denton, began an investigation of the possibilities of such a plan early last November. Heads of the departments and activities concerned submitted figures based on the returns of their organizations over a period of five years. The lowest prices at which the activities could exist were compiled from these figures. They found that for $13,50, an all activity ticket could be put into effect. At a special election Jan. 12 the plan was passed by a majority of 100 of the voters. The voter does not approve the bill because of the small number of students voting. NEW YORK UNIVERSITY KITCHEN A new team moved to the students for approval at the time of enrollment for the present semester. In this the students had an alternative of voting for the entire plan at $13.50, or the ticket including the enterprise ticket. Union fees, council fees, and athletic events, except basketball, for $8.75. This latter plan, which omitted the Kansas and Jayhawker, won more than 200 votes over the majority with 2000 of the students voting. The plan was later approved by both governing groups of the University, Chancellor E. H. Lindley, and recently by the Board of Regents. "All schools in the state have activity fees ranging from $10-$15. Of these, the College of Emporia, Washburn, Ottawa, Wichita, Kansas State, and Hays. Kansas State, alone, allows student exemptions," Denton said. The activity ticket at the present time includes: the student enterprise ticket, which allows students to attend concerts, lectures, debates, club club presentations, and dramatic productions; all athletic events except basketball; membership in the Memorial Union, and allows for completion of the present shell of the building within the next four or five years; provides for a complete council budget which will permit varsity dances to be held there; therefore reduces the price of admission; provides for a reserve fund of approximately $1000 to be used sponsoring free entertainment for students such as three or four all-Uni-versity parties, and other events at the discretion of the councils. Central Committee to Manage Fees The money received from the student activity fee will be divided, with approximately 40 per cent of the total going for athletic events and the "activities" of the past year—concert and lecture course, dramatics and debate—20 per cent for the student governing bodies, Continued on page 4
