Conclave Will Conduct Arrangements for Ball
New System of Management Instituted for Music Week Dance
The Music Week Ball next Saturday night, May 13, which will climax events of Music Week, will be managed by a student conclave, a new mode in dance management at the University. Although other schools have used this plan in arranging for dances, it is an innovation on the Hill.
Acting as chairman of the conclave, Phil McKnight, c'33, the varsity dance manager, has appointed a group of student leaders selected from this year's activities, which he council to carry out the scheme, plan, and design of the Music Week Ball.
Schwegter to Be Speaker
Members of the conclave and the function each will direct are: Kurt Riesen, c33, arrangements; Bob Harley, b34, arrangements; Lloyd Lane, c33; Charles Marshall, financials; Charles Marshall, c33, publicity; Bill Avery, c34, ticket sales.
Commenting on the idea, McKnight said: "Such a plan forms the only method of administration of student affairs in many of the schools of the Middle West. For example, the Junior Prom at St. Louis University gave students an open conclave of 13 men and women who directed everything from the arrangements, ceremonies and costumes to the patrons, programs and publicity."
Except for the work of the entertainment chairman, Lloyd Lane, toward hiring Henry Halstead and his orchestra to furnish the music for dancing, no other plans have been made. The members of the conclave will meet this weekend to formulate the plans for the ball.
Will Address Graduate Club
Elizabeth Dunkel, of the physical education department, and sponsor of Tau Sigma, honorary dancing sorority, will speak at the last meeting of the year of the Graduate club Tuesday evening May 9. The meeting will be held at 6:15 o'clock in the private dining room of the cafeteria.

The unusual situations arising during the preparation of recitals of Tau Sigma will comprise the main part of the talk, she said.

Demonstrators Will Use Million Volt Lightning
Engineers Sponsor Show by Westinghouse Company Tomorrow
Artificial lightning requiring millions of volts, and lightning arrestors will be used tomorrow morning by the Westinghouse company in its demonstration at the electrical laboratories at 8:30. The demonstration is to test the capability of the University to show the utilizing of electricity and its measurement.
The lighting strokes will be directed onto transformers which have been equipped with protective lightning arresters. Different methods of connecting these lightning arresters will be shown.
This artificial lightning will strike porcelain insulators which have been fitted with De-Ion protectors. The measuremnet of the controlled lightning illustrated.
Surge generators will be utilized to produce this artificial voltage, which will be measured with a cathode ray oscillograph. All of the equipment is mounted upon a truck which has been touring this part of the country.
According to D. C. Jackson, Jr., professor of electrical engineering, nearly a million volts are required to make a current of electricity jump a one foot
All who are interested in the subject of lightning have been invited to see the display.

Rank High in Scholarship
students From Junior Colleges Numerous in Phi Beta Kappa
High quality of work done at the University of Kansas by students who have had preliminary work at Kansas junior colleges is attested by the number who are elected to Phi Beta Kappa, according to Prof. E. F. Engel, chairman of the University's committee on relations with junior colleges.
in a report on studies of scholastic grades, just completed by Professor Engel, it is shown that of the 34 students elected to Phi Beta Kappa the past year, 10 came from junior colleges. The total senior class was 548, of whom less than 80 were from junior colleges.
In the same way, the 78 seniors from junior college provided eight Phi Beta Kappas, while the 480 other seniors were producing 33 Phi Beta Kappas. In another part of his study, Professor Engel shows that since 1927-28, the average index (based on grades received in class work) has been better for the junior college group than for the University as a whole. Following this, a full-University indices; 1927-28, 1.20 and 1.29; 1928-29, 1.43 and 1.27; 1929-30, 1.42 and 1.27; 1930-31, 1.35 and 1.19; 1931-32, 1.36 and 1.24.
