special Train Over Union Pacific Lines To Go Two Days Later
WORLD LEADERS TO SPEAK
Recreation and Association With Great Personalities Are Big Features
Final plans are being made this week for the Estes Park summer conference. The auto caravan will leave Lawrence on the morning of June 6. Those going by train will have a special car over the Union Pacific lines, on June 8, leaving Lawrence at 11:50 o'clock in the morning.
Estes offers a fine program this year with world leaders like Sher-Wood Eddy, Arthur Rugh, J. Stitt Dr. George Lachandi and James Wiles. The book is also met liked by Charles C. Webber and William Tanner.
The Estes Park Conference is far famed for two outstanding features, its unsurpassed recreational opportunities of hiking, fishing and enjoyment the wonderful lakes and mountain scenery, and its associations with men of world visions and leadership who have such wonderful personalities and offer to others the privilege of getting their vision and catching some of their inspiration for service to their fellow men.
Estes Park gives a vital part of a student's preparation for life. A man may be an "A" student in his school life, and still be a moment when he gets into the reality of life, a mediocre man in the world of business. He lacks "that something" the live wire aggressive qualities that come into a man's life through association with men of world leadership
Eats Park has "that Something" which will give that the attributes of live wire personality, and that will add to one's academic training, in a manner that will fit one for facing the problems of life.
GRADES GIVE "SNOW WHITE"
Laurence Walworth, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., asks that students interested in the trip see him Room 108 Fraser as soon as possible.
Several University Students Assisted in the Training
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was presented at the Bowersock Theatre Monday night by a large cast and chorus of grade school children of Lawrence. Ruth Kurtz, as princess Snow White, carried the lead of the performance, and she joined the entire member of the cast. Miss Kurtz is the daughter of Professor Edward F. Kurtz, of the school of Fine Arts.
The scenes were laid around the grounds of the palace and in the forest and made a very pleasing setting for the working out of the fairy story. The attendance was not as great as expected, due to the rain, many tickets having been sold in advance by the children.
Most of the choruses were trained by members of the School of Fine Arts and the whole production was well finished. Credit should be given to Mabel Barnhart who was the director and to Ruth Spotts, Marie Clark, Fann Kleecker, Ruth Ages, Bermadetta Bobinson, Marian Patterson, Fern Koontz, Entertainers who craft and Geneteer West who did production. Miss Doherty Cavagna directed and accompanied the singing, and the production was managed by Merle Clark and Sidney Emmett.
The newest member of the military department of the University of Kansas was presented with a handsome silver trophy today by the officers and non-commissioned officers, who numbered in little Dorothy Rose Archibald, who was born May 3 to Cap. and Mrs. Archibald, instructor in Coast Artillery in the R. O. T. C. Since little Dorothy is now a member of the Army, she is a beautiful bread-and-milk bowl, dated and engraved, with a tray to match.
K. U. Military Department Honors Newest Member
Miss Archibald, when the gift was presented, made a brief speech of acceptance and thanks that showed how deepest gratitude and appreciation, although her words were rather unintelligible, probably from emotion.

Kansas News Letter Asks For Final Contributions Before-June 1
The University of Kansas News Letter of May 19, makes another appeal to the K. U. people who have not subscribed to the memorial fund, with the slogan "Everyone a Contributor by June 1." During the next few weeks, according to the University of Kansas, they have not yet taken part in the Memorial program will receive a formal invitation to subscribe. (

Flame and Smoke Issue From Hollow Trunk
MYSTERIOUS FIRE IN TREE
A mysterious fire in the hollow of a large tree, Monday afternoon caused a great deal of excitement and speculation among the residents of the thirteen hundred block on Kentucky Street.
The fire was discovered by students who were passing along the street. They noticed smoke and flames coming from the interior, through two large openings in the sides of the house. In a few minutes, the brown hose and buckets were borrowed and the cavity was soon filled with water.
This is the second fire of this kind in the last month, and has caused considerable speculation as to the origin. Some of the people in the neighborhood blame careless students for throwing cigarette stubs into the openings, while others contend that a chemical action is brought about by moisture and decaying matter in the cavity, the incontinent combustible case. This seems the most probable and the owner of the tree is desirous that students be more careful as he does not wish to lose this valuable shade树.
Seventy-five Students Visit Wholesale Houses
About seventy-five pharmacy students left for Kansas City this morning to attend the Kansas State Pharmaceutical Association which holds its annual session there today. They will visit several of the large wholesale houses of the city. Among these is the Parke Dahl alliance, which will lunch all of the visiting staff at the Baltimore hotel this noon. Dean L. E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy, will speak before the convention.
The purpose of the trip is to allow the future pharmacists to see how wholesale druggists handle their work.
JAYHAWKER SHIPMENT TO ARRIVE THIS WEEK
sern Receives Long Distance Call Saying Annuals Are On the Road
TO DISTRIBUTE NEXT WEEK
Printing Company Congratulates Management on Excellence of Year Book
A long distance telephone call last night informed Elmer Iser, business manager of the 1922 Jayhawk, that the last shipment of books has been sent by freight so that they should be delivered to his office. They will be distributed at Fraser Check Stand all of next week, beginning Monday morning, May 22.
"It is a pleasure to present you herewith a first copy of what is probably the most distinctly beautiful and effective Jayhawker annual that has ever delighted your student body," said Ben Seward, manager of the college printing department of the Hugh Stevens Press, in a letter to the editor and business manager of the 1922 Jayhawk.
I congratulate you whole-heartedly on the successful result of your work embodied in this book," continued Mr. Seward. "It is our good fortune to have had a share in its production."
The voluntary note of congratulation from Ben Seward to the management of the Jayhawker pleased them greatly, since it seemed a rather unusual thing that the busy manager of the college annual department should go out of his way to say nice things about any year book.
Cap Garvin, editor, made a special trip to Kansas City last week to see that special service be given the shipment of Jayhawkers in getting them out of the Kansas City yards. They will send $5.00 cash until Monday morning, when distribution begins. They will then cost $5.50 cash.
Of all the lucky streaks that the Jayhawk has had this year, mixed in with its unlucky ones, perhaps the most unusual was encountered by Cap Garvin when he went to Kansas City to see that the Jayhawkers be rushed through the yards there. He discovered, outie by accident, that one
of the yardmasters had a son graduated from the department of journalism in 1920. Consequently, it was no trouble at all to secure the yardmaster's promised position; but he may not remain more than a half hour in the Kansas City yards.
"We have never built an annual that had a better looking building section, color plates, or senior session, than the 1922 Jayhawker, and we do not believe that any has ever been produced in America that will excel it," said Roy Beard, in a letter to the Jayhawker management from the Southwestern Engineering Center of the University, which are ordered 200 extra copies of the Jayhawkers from the printers for their own private advertising purposes.

SIDELIGHTS ON THE SPEECHES
Carsl "SanDy" Windos, of May queen and "Jumping Geebosafat" fame was there, and related for the last time his one-named "Jonny the jamaican" on What Happens When You Swear before the Chancellor," for the benefit of his successor, "Virg" Miller.
"I take great pleasure, Mr. Miller, in turning over to you this office with all its rights, perogatives and damnations___ and I hunt up that ragged megaphone as soon as possible," he wrote. "I was the first to kill his last 'Rock Chalk' died away. He said nothing about the adjectives and epigrams!
The gentleman, mentioned in "Andy" MacDonald's speech, who told of having witnessed a recently arrived Kansan in a certain Eastern metropolis severely injured himself when he fell from the roof. He probably had never seen a K. U. student in action at the Commons, five minutes before a "130."
"Andy" mentioned in one period of his speech an episode concerning the man's wife. Evidently he thinks "there are wives and wives!"
Alec Hodges, famed football freshman is protesting the high retailing of "Polar" pies, according to one of the speakers. Pi, the office dog, ventures to suggest that perhaps "Hodge" is singing that universal collegiate springtime syncronation entitled, "Those Gold Digger Blues."
Mr. Cummings, in speaking for the college, suggested that the faculty be present at future Student Day conventions, mentioning for instance, "Mr-So-and-So, of the department of the chemistry.
That five, ten, fifteen or twenty years of teaching at the University is the only qualification of which members of the faculty can boast, is the "let-u-hope-i-tik" joking remarks of Milton Cummings.
"Cummings' System for the grading of University professors" will soon be handled by Thomas Cusack, judging from the indorsement and aplause received this morning. Mr. Cummings advocates that each instructor be voted upon by the student at large, as to a rank of A, B, C, D or F.

MAY FETE DANCERS DEFY WET WEATHER
"Old Fashioned Garden" Presented by Gym Classes in Spite of Rain
RAINBOW ADDS TO BEAUTY
ium Field
Spring showers and interludes of sunshine; masses of clouds and a brilliant rainbow added to the panoramic beauty of the May fetes, danced by the women' gymnasmum classes at the stadium field Tuesday afternoon.
The long May fete procession of brightly costumed dancers wended its way through Marvel grove and down the hill to the Stadium oval a little after five o'clock. In spite of the threatening weather, a large number of spectators were gathered in the Stadium.
The presentation of "An Old Fashioned Garden" began with the dance of the sun, by Fern Hollingberry, a very graceful and poetic movement. The real sun broke through the clouds to shine on its representation, and the garden's soft colors may drift out on the field, they were changed to gold in its radiance.
The dance of the butterflies was well executed and effe-tively costumed. It was followed by three children who skipped about with their feet. The dance of the butterfly was done by Hazel Eberhart, Lorna Dillon, and Grace Smith. Perhaps the cleverest dance of the program was that of the wicked frogs who scared the children aww. It was enthrastically applauded by the
The Old Fashioned Girl, in the person of Beth Smith, summoned her garden, roses, hollyhocks, narcissus, and sweet peas, and in turn they all danced for her pleasure. An Old Fashioned Boy, impersonator by Wendy Haynes, danced with the Old Fashioned Girl in a stately, graceful minute.
The flowers were followed by fireflies, and then Elizabeth Dunkle, as a fairy, danced in the rain. Sha, and the faeries who followed her, might have come down with the raindrops; they were so ethereal and lovely behind the sharp spatters from the clouds and with a perfect rainbow that captures. The seapette ended with an ensemble dance, in ten circles.
The May Fete was beautifully conceived and arranged, and its execution on the beautiful oval of the stage was spectacular. The costuming of the dancers was effective. Great credit is due the directors, Miss Margaret Barto, Mice Rhoe Hooer and Miss Beth Smith for beauty and smoothness of the performance.
The lyric, which was danced for the fete, was written by Isabal Schroiber, fa24 who also designed the decoration. The fete was furnished by the University Band.
ADVERTISING IS PROGRESSIVE
Blanchard Tells Class Ads Now Have Public Confidence
Frank LeRoy Blanchard who is connected with the advertising department of the Henry L. Dougherty C. Gas and Oil Public Utility, spokes to students of the Journalism department this morning. Mr. Blanchard is the "Pension of Advertising," a text book now used by advertisers' lasses.
In his talk to the journalism students, Mr. Blanchard pointed out that advertising is now on a higher plane of morality than ever before. Formerly patent medicine and other questionable ads appeared in newspapers. Now little of that type of material is used. Exaggeration in the advertising columns has been eliminated, and the importance of honesty is being stressed. It is important depends on public confidence. That this has been gained to a degree is proven by the fact that the public now reads and believes advertisements because the reputation of the newspaper is behind the ads.
Mr. Blanchard pointed out that while advertising was a great factor in the building up of industries, it must be backed by intelligent management and product promotion, good salesmanship on the part of the manufacturer.

KU KU's TO ARRANGE TRIP TO WEST POINT
Bredberg Gives Out List of Five New Pledges
Plans for the proposed trip of the Ku Ku Klan to West Point next fall with the football team, the biggest ever attempted by an organization of its kind, are being formed. The leader of the Klan said that he expected to have all the arrangements made this summer.
"I want to see all the Klan present" said Chief Ku Ku Bruckberg, today, "at the meeting Thursday night in Fraser Hall. It is important, not only because it is the last meeting of the year, but for the initiation."
the university of Washington has been instrumental in forming the association. A similar organization in the Central Valley Conference will no doubt be under way within a year. What the Ku Kua Ki will do for Kansas next year is still under cover, but a surprise of no small consequence is rumored. A closed cooperation with athletic leaders has also been effected.
it is becoming generally known that a national organization of university "pep" societies, which are the center of the school spirit, is pending completion on the Pacific coast, where the University of Washington has
"We are perfecting a system of accounts," declared Louis tleebriefs; "that will throw open the books of the Klan to anyone at anytime, thereby eliminating the existence of graft."

Speakers at Convocation Suggest That Professors Be Ranked By Students in Their Classes
MUST BE APPROVED
Plan Is To Have Students Indicate Professors' Rating on Cards at Some Future Convocation
To submit all professors to their own system of grading at the hands of the students enrolled in their courses was the most striking and popular suggestion offered at the second annual University of Kansas Student's Day convention held this morning in Robinson Gymnastium. It was made by Million Cummings, who was heartily seceded by speakers from the other schools and by the students present.
"How can the administration determine each professor's efficiency?" asked Mr. Cummings. "The best recommendation some of them have is that they have been here for several or more years. First we must get the official sanction of such grading from the administration through the Men's Student Council and the W. S. G. A. and at our next students conversation they can pass out cards on which the student can place the names of his professors and their rating as he feels most accurate, according to the benefit he has received from their college. i.e. grade them from A to F as we are graded. Also on this card we may place reasons for such markings and an account of conditions which must be improved that we may setter our work here."
He urged also faculty recognition of the fact that if the students are allowed a day in which to state their grievances, which he would have them understand are serious and important ones, the faculty should of course be present in order that good may come of it.
Other ideas he presented were those of breaking down the autocracy of many of the faculty and of the necessity for a co-operative bookstore as a solution-of the problem of the high price of textbooks.
Sandy Winsor led off the occasion with a roaring Rock Chalk and a Yee Kansas. He then introduced his successor, Virgil Miller who briefly mentioned some of his plans for the coming year.
Orpha Harding, president of W. S. G. A., spoke of what the W. S. G. A. will do next year in putting into practice its awarded aims of fostering mutual responsibility, maintaining high standards and promoting loyalty. She named two ideas which were suggested at the national conference at Cornell and proposed for adoption of adding social life by organizing manicures in closer touch with the girls, and vocational guidance through the offices here and by a vocational adviser.
Andy McDonald, president of the Men's Student Council, gave a brief review of his trip to Lexington, Ky., where he attended the national conference for men's student governing bodies. The subjects considered there were student publications, musical and dramatic productions, undergraduate government, and athletics. He briefly discussed methods of handling these problems as suggested by other schools.
Mr. McDonald expressed his very great pride in K. U. as she appeared in contrast to other schools present.
F. M. Rogers of the School of Law presented in behalf of all students at Dr. W. L. Burick who has been acting dean and spoke of their hopes for the future under Dean Arant who has newly elected to head the school.
He spoke of the problem of adequate and equal support for all University activities as athletes, the band, debating, and the glee clubs.
"All activities together should put out the student enterprise tickets at a reasonable price and reward the students," the season ticket must go if all the work of the University is to be properly carried out."
Time was not adequate for Stanley Learned for the School of Engineering and Sherwin Kelly for the Graduate School to speak.
Ed White, retiring president of the Men's Student Council, presided at the conconvocation. Retiring officers in general expressed appreciation for the team and help they had received and bespoke it for their and舍友s.
