Mock Republican Convention Called to Pick Nominee
State Delegation Choices Suggested to Indicate Student Interest in Affair
The call for a mock Republican national convention of 1928, was issued this morning, by the executive committee of the convention, with Calvin Evans, c28 as chairman. The executive committee now becomes in effect the Republican national committee.
Any person or group on the University campus who wishes to represent a special state or work for a favorite candidate in the convention is requested to send the name and preference for delegation to Don Rhodes, c?9, in care of the Kanman. As far as possible the choice of delegates for the states will follow the line of actual residence in the various cities. Most of the delegates in the union are represented at the University.
"In pursuance of the rules adopted by the Republican National Convention of 1920, the Republican National Committee directs that a National Convention of delegated representatives of the Republican party be held in the City of Lawrence, state of Iowa, on Wednesday, the 25th day of April, 1928, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for president, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before it.
The call is modeled after regular national party calls. It follows in part:
"The voters of the several states and of Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rica, the Philippine Islands and the District of Columbia who are in accord with the principles of the Republican party, believe in the declaration of policies, and are in sympathy with the Republican party, probably invited to unite within this call in the selection of delegates to said convention."
The total of delegates in the Republican National Convention is 1080. The delegates will be seated on the floor, which is to be the new Auditorium.
Prints Placed on Display
Japanese Art Is on Exhibition at Design Office
A collection of Japanese prints now on exhibition in the office of the department of design, 392 west Admiralty Street, where some of which were made previous to 1860. Each print in the collection is an original, and most of them were made between the years 1820 and 1860, also including the earliest part of the 19th century.
The subjects are mostly figure or landscape scenes. The work is done with a series of wood blocks, a different one of which is used for each color appearing in the print. All the work is done by hand. This fact gives to the collection some rare examples of Japanese workmanship.
Glass cases display greeting cards and craftswork done by students in the department, and one case shows a collection of handbound books which contain the individual works of Mise Roesney, Ketchan, head of the department.
Each individual print represent the work of three men, one who drew the sketch, another who cut the blocks and another who painted the sketches. The sketch is destroyed in making the blocks, but the name of the person who made the sketch is that appearing on the finished print. The men who do the block-cutting and the painting are so that the author of the original sketch is looked upon as the artist. In the exhibition room of the department, a series of French portfolio plates are being shown through the courtey of the artist. There are also conventionally realized nature motifs. Six finished examples of wall decorations by Marjorie Whitney are on display. The panels are from a series of 14, of 18, of 22, and of 36, each pleated and dealt with characters from fair tales as subjects. Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, the Sleeping Princess, the Princess playing with a golden ball, and Hamlet and Gretel are reps

Ruth Shaw Gets Hyde Scholarship for Summer
Opportunity, Rather Than Importunity, Is Keynote of Campaig
A "a campaign of opportunity, not importunity" will be initiated on the campus to raise funds to be used toward the completion of Union Memorial building. Such was the decision of the special committee authorized at the joint meeting of the Men's Student Council, W. S. College, and the Special Committee at its first session yesterday afternoon in Fred Welchworth's office in the basement of central Administration building.
The same group will meet next Thursday afternoon at 3:30.
Committee Believes Students Will Voluntarily Assist in Completion
The members of the committee were unanimous in declaring against the use of high pressure methods being applied to the students to secrete substances that would cause a second floor in plausible condition. Instead of a concerted drive they worked out a plan of soliciting pledges and fees after they had placed the case of the Union project succinctly before the student body.
The members of the main communal association are: Virginia Araool, fa'28; Swinger R., c28; Balfour Jeffrey, c28; George Poosez, c28; John Bunn, athletic representative; Frank M. Dawson, men's student adviser; and Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association. Members of the committee. Leo Bushing, gr., substituted for Jeffrey yesterday.
Bill Hargiss Addresses Commerce Luncheon on "Kansas Football
Local Business Men Are Asked to Co-operate in Helping Place Athletes
Place Athletes
"Kansas produces more high school and college athletes of university caliber than any other state I could mention," Coach BILL Hargiss told the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce at their noon luncheon today, mentions rumors of a basketball team drawn from in Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
Pleased With Attitude
Coach Harggis mentioned the first spring practice of the year year-
day afternoon. "I was surprised at a moment of the boy",
he stated. "They are a most promi-
nental and their spirit and en-
thusiasm was an agreeable surprise to me.
"Unfortunately we have a peculiar situation with 16 or 17 other colleges in the state, he said. "But in the end, it's very difficult to advance, of K., U. football."
"Lots of people want to know again, 'What's the matter with Kansas?' I am not looking for trouble—I am coming down here to turn out a winning football team primarily. I lose my interest if you don't win," he went on, and then said in coach that "If you win, character for the athletes comes of itself—if you lose, you have to build character like hell."
The coach closed with a plan for co-operation from the business men of Lawrence, particularly in the matter of obtaining work for the athletes. "Perhaps the idea is deprived because it is so hard that we don't have to provide a stipend for endowed athletes. There are plenty of men who are willing to work their way through—all we want is a way of getting together with the employers." Coach Hargiss suggested the appointing of a committee to keep
At the beginning of the lunchbox the coach introduced his new assistants, Lynn Waldorf and Stephen Hinshew, and John Thomas, Haskel coach. Paul Hamm, student in violin, played two numbers, accompanied by the bassist.
Boynton Honored in Funeral Rites by Many Friends
Many More Brilliant, None
More Devoted Then He,
Says Minister
in Sermon
"Other men may have been more brilliant than he, but none was more devoted and none more closely wedded to the life of this University and city," the Rev. A. D. Grey said this afternoon in his sermon for Prof. A. J. Boyton in the Plymouth Congregational church.
"There is such a thing as the irreparability of loss sustained by a community when one closely associates with it, for many years leaves it," he said.
"The familiarity of such a personality closely knit with temperament of its environment can rarely if ever disturb it, as is a breach that is difficult to fill.
"Grief, Not Regret"
"Often a community like Lawrence is blessed by a genius, who, like a meter, passes with comparative ease. He admires me and admire him, but we soon forget him. But when a man whose whole life has been seasoned with the atmosphere of this city and University of our feelings are entirely different."
"When such men leave us, we experience not regret, but grief, because in their years they have yielded shade and shelter to wide neighbors of men has fallen."
"A. Fixed Star"
Instructors, education, and work at the University were then spoken of, and Doctor Grey said that Professor Boynton served the distinction of having a steady radiance which made all look upon him as a fixed star. As a teacher, his insistence upon each student to measure up to his ability often caused matters to get out of hand, but in later years, hundreds upon hundreds later wrote him and thanked him for his efforts, Doctor Grey said.
Loved City as Home
"His civilization, her environment was off of the high up by a grumfness of manner so that casual acquaintances were unaware of the waters of city."
"He loved this city intensely," he pointed out. "He looked upon it as his home."
His beautiful inner life, his love of architecture and poetry, his ability as a singer, all were spoken of as "thus whatsoever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely."
Snapdragons seemed to predominate in the almost solid wall of flowers on the pulpit. Here and there was an occasional lily among them, a floral form designed for the roses, tui trees, sweet peas and carnations. Two rows of sprays extended down on either side of the background of flowers, almost to the floor. There were several larger arrangements beautifully arranged in baskets.
Prof. C. S. Skilton furnished music on the Plymouth organ, and a triple quartet from the men's glee club from The Men's Glee Club Tongue Adele "Thee" by Johann Bach.
Besides his widow, Professor Boynton is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Flora Bower of Morris, III, and Mrs. C. E. Smith of Beloit, Wis., and three sons, James C. and C. R. Boynton of Juneville, Wis., and E. R. Boynton of Beloit, Wis.
Pallibearers included members of the faculty and local citizens. They were: C. C. Crawford, professor of history; William S. Johnson, professor of history; Christopher Patterson, professor of German; D. L. Patterson, professor of history; C. F. Nelson, professor of biochemistry; Dr. George Eaterly; R. G. Rankin, and Dr. Mel-
The body was interred in the Oak Hill cemetery.
Dector Royton gave a quarter century of notable service to the University of Kansas. He set high standards for himself and for his students, Teaching was to him a calling worthy of a red blooded man. He carried his vigorous manly personality into the classroom.
His deep human sympathies shone through his severest as well as his
Professors Will Exhibit Water Colors at O. U
Prof. Albert Bloch and Prof. Earl Mattern, of the department of painting, are to exhibit a selection of their work in water colors, soon, at the University of Oklahoma by invitation of the School of Fine Arts there.
The department of painting, in connection with the American Federation of painters, will show an exhibition of paintings by members of the American National Academy later in the year. The group will be from the annual exhibit of the American National Academy, and will come to the University in time to be shown in connection with Fine Art day of Festival Week and the dedication of the museum," said Professor Bloch yesterday in speaking of the exhibit.
Local Singers Chosen for "Messiah" Leads by Dean Swarthour
Washburn, Ottawa, and Bake Colleges Are Represented in Selections
The solosist for the "Messiah," Handsel's Oratorio, which will be given April 29 in the University Auditorium as the opening feature of the Week Festival, were named this morning by Joan D. S. Swarthout.
Lawrence E. Blackman, head of the voice department at Ottawa University, will sing tenor. He will also play for the Kansas City, Kan., choral club this year, his second consecutive year with them.
Music Week is observed with the idea of linking the music work done in this immediate end of the state and at the same time recognizing the work being done in other institutions by musical leaders. The soloists will represent Washburn, Ottawa, Baker, and Kansas Universities.
Dean Ira Pratt, head of the music department of Washburn, will sing with the Chicago Compostel after taken up his duties at Washburn after two years of successful teaching at the Chicago Compostel School. He has a harpone voice of unusual drawl.
The soprapo part will be taken by Miss Merriah Mashow, professor of voice at K. U., who has had seven years in the New York church. Moore in her first year with the School of Fine Arts here has won an outstanding scholarship.
The contralto part will be sung by Miss Nina Bayls, one newly acquired by Baker University who has done considerable solo singing.
Symphony Orchestra to Play
With the presentation of the Guardian Angel* which, in May 1930, the composer, Prof. C. S. Skilton, is probable that the platform for the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra will be extended over the basketball court. Seven hundred concerts will be organized at Professor Skilton's oratorio. The great organ will be used in the performances of the "Messiah" and "The Guardian Angel* as well as Minneapolis Symphony orchestra.
No such elaborate choral events have even been presented in Lawrence as will be during Music Week this year. The festival committee is at work in shaping a season of two orchestral concerts at a price which will be much lower than combined separate admission to each event.
The choral union will meet tonight at 7:30. The rehearsals are becoming more enjoyable as the expressive de part can now be given out by the director.
Doctor Boynton also functioned as a public spirted citizen of the University and of Lawrence. His passing will come as a severe personal loss to his family and number of clothets, leagues and citizens—Charlesell E. H. Lissley.
Every student that came in contact with Prof. Boyton whether in the classroom or as a member of the athletic teams of K. U., is richer because he has more magnetism than his students to him through his personal magnetic. Their attachment and affection for him held with the years. Professor Boyton was as much of a teacher as any other teacher, a place can never be filled."—J. L. Connelly, A. B. 25.
