Frank Lindley Weaver Transferred to Class Of Half Century Ago
Eighty Year Old Student En joys Last Semester of Study; Work Excellent
Frank Lindley Weaver, octogenarian student in engineering, who has attended the University during the last semester after an absence of fifty years, has been transferred upon his request to the graduating class of four members before the addition of Mr. Weaver's name to the roll.
Mrs. Flora Richardson Colman, *v75 of Pasadena*, Cal., will attend the commencement exercises and visit old friends and classmates here. L. D. L. Tosh, v73 who lives in Kansas City, Mo., will attend the class of Wilkinsburg, Pa., will be prevented from the reunion of the class of 73 because of poor health. Murray Harris, only engineering student in the class except Weaver, died in March of the year. He had planned to attend the reunion.
Mr. Weaver says that he has enjoyed his work at the University during the past semester and that time has been spent well. His instructors commend his work and say they have received a lot of many of the younger students and that his interest in his studies has been unflagging.
Mr. Weaver will return to his home in Pueblo, Colo., where he has a real estate business. He is interested in the betterment of rural social conditions, and is the head of an association in southern Colorado for the improvement of farming conditions. Mr. Weaver will continue his study of rural conditions and perhaps write a book on the subject.
Plenty of Rooms in Dorm
Dean Blitz Corrects the Rumor That All Are Rented
"The rumor that all the rooms in Corbin Hall are rented has no foundation whatever. There is still available space in the dormitory," said Dean Blitz this morning. "The rooms will be assigned according to application; that is, those who apply" *st* will be assigned their room. "the rooms have to be 23 students. One hundred of the spaces are reserved for freshmen and the remaining will be assigned to upper-classman."
The dormitory is very nearly completed and will be ready for the students at the opening of the fall term
University men interested in collegiate industrial research work under the auctions of the Y. M. C, A., the European fellowship tour, or in social service work in New York are requested to see Milton Cummings, president of the Y. M. or to call at Dean Dyer's office.
Senior Caps and Gowns to be Given Out at Gym
The dormitory is equipped with all the latest modern conveniences. A large dining room and kitchen are on the first floor, and all students living in the dormitory will be expected to take their meals there. Large reception rooms make up the main hall of the apartment. Each floor has a parlor but there will be no entertaining in these rooms.
Caps and gowns will be distributed to seniors all day Friday, June 1, on the second floor of Robinson Gym. Cups and gowns are also provided to Chicago, from whom we are renting them, said positively in reply to my telegram that they would be here in time to be distributed then," according to Chris Larson, a member of the cap and gown committee.
They may be returned to the same place on the afternoon of Monday, June 4, and all day Tuesday, June 5. Before seniors can receive their diplomas, in place of the dummies in nation exercises, they must present at the registrar's office the receipt for the return of their cap and gown.
School of Law Adds Maurice Van Hecke To Regular Faculty
North Carolina Professor
Seventh Full Time Man
At Green Hall
Maurice Taylor Van Hecke, asistant professor of law at the University of North Carolina, has been chosen to fill the same position in the School of Law at the University of Kansas next year. Mr. Van Hecke will be the seventh full time man in the faculty of the School of Law.
Professor Van Hecke received a Ph.D. in 1916 and a J. D. in 1917 from Chicago University. He was associated for one year in practice with the Association of Teachers and Wales, in Chicago. He was connected with the Legislative Reference Bureau of Illinois, in Springfield, ill., from 1917 to 1920. Since then he has taught in the schools of law at Michigan State University and the University of North Carolina
Professor Van Hecke has written various articles for the West Virginia Law Quarterly and was editor of the American Review, since it was organized last year. Two of his most recent books are "Statutory Revisions in Illinois," and "Law Regulating Professional Practice," both published in 1918. The principal subjects that he teaches are equity includes trusts. He will come at the middle of the summer session and teach court law and personal property.
"Professor Van Heck comes to us highly recommended by the dean of the West Virginia Law School, and we are indeed fortunate to secure the services of Mr. Van Heck," said Dean Arant this morning.
Jayhawker Shows Profit
Excess Will Clear Up Deficit From Two Years Ago
Audit of the books of the 1923 Jayhawker has not been entirely completed by Algo D. Henderson, assistant professor of economics, on account of the accounts will not be settled until June 1. But it is certain that the book will show a profit and that the deficit left by the 1921 Jayhawker will be paid and a small operating expense covered over to the 1924 Jayhawker.
Prof. L. N. Flint, speaking for the Jayhawk advisory committee, said today, "The editor and business man should have been faced by the problem of producing a superior book while at the same time leaving a surplus that would take care of obligations inherited from two years ago and give the Jayhawk team experience to accomplish both of these objects admirably. They did it by putting in practice highly efficient selling methods, while at the same time extending the scope of an expended on the book brought a dollar's worth of quality for value
Earl Marshall, 21, is at present at El Dorado, as geologists for the Empire Oil and Gas Company. His home address is Eik City.
"The advisory c mmittee had practically nothing to do with the business in question, and in a position to say that it regards the job as having been exceedingly well done. It is a fine history and ambassador to the outside world."
In addition to the cash surplus this year's Jayhawker will turn over to its successors considerable office equipment.
W. S. G. A. Plans Reclassification Of All Activities
House Presidents' Council in Charge; Seek to Give All Women Part in Affairs
An activity file for the purpose of keeping a record of the activities of every woman in the University has been established by the house president's council. Caries for as many of the women as possible were filled out this spring and the council hopes to complete the file next fall.
The file will give not only the talients of the University women, but also what they have accomplished. When an organization on the hill wants a woman to serve on some committee or to fill some position it may be required to file a request to file to find someone for the pace. Check will be kept on the woman to see if she fills the requirement and does her work well so that she may be recommended "for some other work. The file is kept in Mrs. Bryant's office, room 113 Fresher hall, and is open for use at any time. The file was at the time of the all-University party this spring.
Research Committee at Work
A research committee from the council is evaluating all the possible activities on the HILL and classifying them under various heads. Plans are being made to 1 put the activities in a manual in the order of their importance. The purpose of this plan is to put before all University staff, students, and faculty in and to give everyone a chance to go out for the activity for which she is most fitted.
The activity classification will be worked on during the summer by Leona Baugartner, c23', former president of the House President's Council and Ruth Gould, f24', new president of the council, with the assistance of Miss Nellie Barnes, instructor in English.
Take Up Scholarship Question
A map of Lawrence showing which homes are living there, and where are living has been made by the council for the purpose of bringing those houses where only one or two University women live, under a
Social gatherings for women living in rooming houses have been sponsored by the house president's council during the last year.
The Daily Kansan
The question of scholarship has been taken up by the council and it will be made possible for students in the school to attend college in organized houses to receive their mid-semester grades. The comparative scholastic standing of all rooming houses for women as well as the men in similarities will be published in the fall.
The activity file, classification of activities, and the districting of Lawrence are some of the new things the house president's council has tried to do this year in the way of constructive work on campus problems. The activity file has been handled with the date rule and with the problems of the organized houses.
A new course is expected to be given to freshmen in the School of Engineering next fall. Plans are being designed primarily to make the new-comer think. Members of the faculty express the hope that the course will accustom the student to study engineering and thus aid him in his college career.
Freshman mechanicals, electricals, and civilis will have the course as a part of their required work. If the course proves as satisfactory as the course, it will be made a requirement for beginners in all departments of engineering.
Will Try-out New Course on Freshman Engineers
The Kanas will be here with a cheerful greeting when you come back in the fall—or if you aren't one of those who are coming back, it will try to hunt you up and deliver the news. The creets must be kept, of course, but next fall this paper plans to surprise you by an announcement of changes which will mean greatly increased value to you. Until then, good luck!
Enroll for Summer Term On June 11 at Robinso
Formal registration and enrollment for the summer session will be held on Monday, June 11, in Robinson Gymnasium, George O. Foster, registrar, said this morning. Practically the same plan as that used for the usual fall and spring elections will be followed at this time, the registrar says. Students must sit on the floor and the enrolling on the second. About 400 enrollments for the summer session have already been made, mostly from the present students of the University, in accordance with the ruling that all students of the University must have enrolled by Saturday, May 26, or pay late registration and enrollment fees. Class work for the session will begin on
Jayhawker Contract Let for Next Year; Approved by Faculty
May Fete, Baseball, Track and Commencement Will Be In 1921 Annual
The printing and engraving contracts for the 1924 Jachawker have been let and approved by the advisory board, according to Ryland Petty, business manager of the 1924 publication.
The Hugh Stephens Press of Jefferson City, Mo., which has printed the Jayhawker for several years, will be holding a fundraiser at Burger Engraving Company of Kansas City, Mo., will do the engraving work. Carl Fitzter, art director of the company, is here today conferring with Mr. Wagner regard to the art work of the book.
The activities of this spring, including the May Fete, baseball and track, and commencement week, will be held at the Hancock Hawker, according to the managers.
A feature section of from sixteen to thirty-two pages with pictures of University activities, a sixteen-page view section, and a humor section, will be some of the points of difference in 1924 Jahlwayer and this year's book.
Color will be used in the opening and divisional pages, as planned by the manager and the engravers. Miss Anchor will be pointed by the Chancellor to succeed
Miss Anne Dudley Blitz, who is leaving the University, on the Jayhawker advisory board for next year.
Woman M. E. to Graduate
Dorolyn Boyd is First to Finish Mechanical Course
Dorolyn Boyd, e23, will be the first woman mechanical engineer ever graduated from the School of Engineering at Michigan State University and finishes this June. Miss Boyd was also one of the six best students in school during her first two years, according to Dean P. F. Walker. Her research has led an aviation laboratory experiment.
Interest in engines and a liking for mathematics were the principal reasons Miss Boyd gave in explaining why she entered the School of Engineering. No courses were omitted in her schedule from shoveling sand and picking up rocks. As for engines, gasoline ones are the kind she prefers at present.
Madeline Ashton Returns After a Year in Europe
Miss Boyd comes from Colorado Springs, where she expects to get a position this summer.
Madeline Ashton, A. B. '15, is on her way home after a year's study in Europe. While abroad, Miss Ashton traveled in Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy. She saw the presentation of the Passion Play at the University in Geneva, Italy, and later studied French literature and language in Sarborne, the University of Paris.
Ralph Johnston, c23, has been selected as editor of the University Daily Kanan for the summer session, and James Aautin, c23, as business manager. Both are former members of the Kanan Board. The first issue of the newspaper will be June 14; the paper will be issued every Tuesday and Thursday.
Earl Delhotel, '16, is at present manager of the Tilford Drug Company, Orpheum Building, Wichita.
THIRD MISSOURI VALLEY TITLE IS BROUGHT HOME TO Mt. OREAD BY JAYHAWKER BASEBALL SQUAD
Season Will Close With Game Saturday at Lincoln Where Next Year's Captain Will be Elected at Banquet; Kansas to Lose Three of Best Men in Conference
Kelly's Resignation Accepted by Board; Goes to Minnesota
Because of Financial Handicap Administrative Officers Leave—Lindley
By winning two baseball games from the Kansas Aggies last week the Jayhawker baseball team brought home the third Valley title that the Kansans have won this year, the Mount Oread aggressions having placed at the top of the Valley ladder in basketball and indoor track. This makes the third time in as many years that the Jayhawker diamond men have won the Valley title.
The resignation of Frederick J. Kelly, dean of administration has been accepted by the State Board of Administration. Dan Kelly has accepted the assistant presidency of the University of Minnesota, which was offered to him some weeks ago, but until the recent action of the board.
"Potys's" proteges have two more games to play this season, but they will have no bearing on the title. The Jayhawkers will meet the Nebraska team on Stadium Field Friday at 3 p.m. for the last home game. Immediately after the game both teams will board the Pulmans and go to Lincoln, where they will close the season Saturday afternoon.
"It is the old story of Kansas being unable to compete financially against the tremendous handicap of richer institutions," said Chancellor Lindley in speaking of the loss to the University of Dean Kelly and other of its administrative officers, who have resigned recently.
K. U. Journalists Succeed
The date at which Denn Kelly's connection with the University will terminate has not been determined. At present he is making a survey of American colleges of liberal arts for the Commonwealth Fund of New York and is on a six months leave of absence from the University. This work will not be completed before time when Denn Kelly will retain his connection with the University and will be in Lawrence.
Dean Kelly has been an administrative leader in the University for eight years. For five years he was dean of the School of Education, and for the past three years he has been dean of Administration and a research professor. The post that Dean Kelly has occupied is the first of its kind to be established in an American university. The majority of his work here has attracted universal attention and more than one of the larger universities contemplate similar chairs, according to Chancellor Lindley.
Majors Have Responsible Jobs In Many States
Many of the students who have majored in Journalism at the University of Kansas are now working on prominent newspapers in different parts of the country. Six men are now working for the Kansas City Journal, as shown in Figure 10.4. The collection compiled by Prof. W.A. Dill, professor of journalism.
Several men are working now on the K. C. Star, and others including some women majors, are now with the Ferry Hanly advertising company in Chicago and in Kansas City; one of their executives, the Daily Bulletin in Manila, P. I.
Many of the stakes are represented in the addresses of other majors as shown by the record. The greater number of students with stakes although some are with magazines.
K. U. Architect Wins From K.S.A.C.
a senior architect won first prize,
and Ora Nielsenhof, K. U. won first
honorable mention for a plate of let-
terpress designs for a prized item to
the University and Kansas State
Agricultural College this year by
Lorens Schmidt, a well-known archi-
tect of Wichita. The name of the
architect will be announced by
the Chancellor of honor list.
In the first Agie game the Jayhawkers led the scoring until the seventh and the Kansans got a run in the first and one in the fourth. The Aggies sent a man across the plate in the fifth and tied the score in the seventh. The score remained a tie until the ninth.
Again it was the old Kansas spirit that never stops fighting that pulled the game out of the fire. Frazier reached first on an error. Davis sacrificed him to second. Price singled and Frazier crossed the plate for the winning run. Davis held the Aggies coorsel in the ninth.
Aggies Score in First
The feature of the second game was the hitting of Price, Wenzel, and Kennedy. The Agues got to Bloomer for two runs in the first inning, but after that he held them helpless. The Mount Oread team scored one run in the first after another run from more counters in the fifth. They crossed the plate for two more runs in their half the ninth.
Kansas will lose three of the best men in the Valley this year by graduation. Bloomer will doubt a doubt is over for Kansas, but ball players that Kansas has ever produced. Bloomer will play his last home game Friday afternoon. Joe was captain of last year's team. At the end of last season, close to the five hundred mark.
Captain John Wenzel has been a dependable cog in the Kansas machine for the past three years, both in fielding and with the bat. Wenzel has been captain of one of the best organized and spirited teams Kansas has had for some time, according to Coach Clark.
"Squit!" Frezier, catcher for three years, will be graduated this spring and will leave a big hole for Poty to fill next spring. He is the smallest catcher in the Valley and is known throughout the valley for his strategy and cleverness behind the bat. Staplin and Campbell will also be graduated this spring. Staplin has proved himself to be a dependable hitter and fielder. Campbell has developed into a good utility man.
Next year's captain will be elected

Protection for Flunkers
250 Scholastic Death Benefit For Lawyers
Information concerning a newly organized Non-Flunk Insurance Company for students in the School of Law was received by special delivery by H. W. Arant, dean of the School of Law this morning.
A policy in this insurance company insures a student from "financial loss and mental anguish caused when a student falls short along the way." The insurance company is in the mire of procedure or loses his way in the labyrinth of pleading.
A monthly premium of $3 is paid every month a student sits at the feet of any 'seer' in the School of Law. If at the end of a semester he should be compelled to withdraw or should fundk he is paid the scholastic death benefit sum of $240. In addition, he is required for animation after obtaining an LLI B$, he received the sum of $200. Anyone interested can consult Dean Arant.
