MUSICIANS 'STRIKE' AT CONCERT LAST NIGHT
Men Adopt Riotous Methods For Making a Quick Departure
TACTICS PUZZLE AUDIENCE
Band Men's Return is Greeted By an Appreciative Audience
A "musician strike" was the main exciting feature of the University Band concert last night in Fraser Chapel. The first three numbers of program were rendered extraordinarily well, and "Mae" and his boyfriend "Eve" were the audience's ingoring the fourth numerue, when an extraordinary thing took place.
Matthews, the tympani and bell player became excited and rushed across the platform to the clarinet players shaking them and frantically pointing at "Mac." A few words were exchanged and clarinet players be beaten up by the instruments they picked up their instruments and left the room. The cornetists and saxophone players catching the spirit of the anger and excitement left, others following until only the drummers remained with "Mac" doing his best to keep them there. One of the stridest players on the drummer's aid dragged the drummers away.
"Mac" wiped his forhead, looked at the overturned chairs and music laying on the floor. A man in the audience arose and approaching the platform asked "Mac" just what was the cause of the fight. The leader of the band informed him that they had been playing as well as he could. Then a burst of applause came from the audience which had been slow in catching the joke but fully appreciated it. The poor man returned to his seat, still puzzled as the real cause unanimous. The audience was unanimous. The "Comie-Tac-too" had been a real "knockout", and was so well done that some persons in the audience were not sure that it was not a real strike. Following this number Miss Edna Davis rendered "The Herd-Girl's Dream" as a xiphon solo. She was accustomed by Miss Lester Lavin, the host of the concert with his xiphone presented the "Sextette from Lucia" in a delightful manner. The band men as they came back for the last two numbers on the program were greeted heartily by the audience. The ballet "Dance of the Hours" from the opera "La Gloceana" played with much ease and good technique. The "Crimson and the Blue" concluded the program.
A banquet at the College Inn was served to the boys immediately afterward. Director McCanes in his speech to the boys at the banquet told them that work during the year and told them that a prominent musician on the Hill had heard them play the "Second Hungarian Rhapsody" by Lixt, and said that in the many times he had heard hands play that selection this was the best yet. Last night was the day the band has been together this year.

Canoe Party Tells Weird Tale Of Moving Snag And Enormous Beast Living in Waters of Kau
Sunday morning about 7 d'clock a canning party started up the river. They had not gone far when a stranger lobed object was observed in mid stream. An investigation followed. It turned out to be nothing but a snag, but upon closer examination, it was an oxygen sensor. The screen against a strong current.
Could it be that one of those animal known as the prehistoric diplodocus is gallinawing around in this section of the country? It seems that the animal is still adapting to the peaceful Kaw and ceasing much more among the canoes.
This strange phenomena caused the observers to rub their bleary eyes, and, no doubt, they suddenly had some kind of injury. They had heard during their life time.
The thing that was hooked on t

R. O. T. C. Is Making Elaborate Plans for Skirmish With Hoskell
that sang underneath the murky water of the Kaw might have a long neck and a terrible mouth. Even though it was a hardy article when fastened to a snag, it might be rather unhandy when it gained freedom.
The occupants of the canoe were suffering from acute misgivings when the problem solved itself. The angel jumped and swam into a wave in the wake, as if from a submarine, g) up the river at a much faster pace. They exerted all their energies to paddling but to no avail; they fell down and were surrounded a bond in the river.
There will be an enemy for reconnaissance of the enemy territory, and a tank to lead the attack which will follow immediately after barrage laid down by heavy artillery. Reinforcements for the R. O. T. C forces were covered by Company H; the machine gun crew in command of Captain Walton. Four squads, each with a gun and ammunition cart drawn by a typical army mule with a regular army temper, will approach as close as possible with the animals and carts and then go forward and set up their guns in advantageous positions. Lieutenant J. C. Holmes will command the machine gun crew in a continuous fire on the enemy Indians to cover the advance of the R. O. T. C.
The heights around the lake basin will be defended by the Haskell Indians of Company M, in command of Captain Dinnore Almer, professor of astronomy in the University of Kansas. They are going to help the company, but the Indians will be supported by riflemen. Their numbers, combined with their difficult position on make it certain that the battle will be hot and closely contested. The R. O. T. C., who will attack from the north in an attempt to take the heights will put into practice the heaviest cannon that have been taught in the class room.
The sham battle is only a part of the extensive program that Major Burdick has planned. First will be a dress parade with the presentation of the colors by a fair co-ed who has not yet been chosen. Exhibitions in wall scaling will be held with many feature films, dance shows, shoe race. A shoe race, by the way, is very interesting for everyone who is not a participant.
WEATHER REPORT
Most of those who have been told this story place it in the category of all other fish stories, but some stop and consider and advance theories. Some say it was a large fish escaped from the waters of the Missouri river and attached to a limb of a tree. Others think it was a huge turtle. One eyeball suggested that it was a German submarine. The most popular theory is, however, that the canning party, which was composed of students, had gotten up so much earlier than usual that morning that they were not responsible for what they saw. Their sleep was disturbed when they saw with this weird hallucination.
Airplanes, tanks, and an artillery barrage are only a small part of the preparations for the "Battle" of Orad Heights" which will be staged May 24 in Potter's Lake basin. Even an ambulance and carers will be provided yes, according to Major ... our all who has carefully planned all details of the battle it must spectacular and welcoming.
Members of the unit have been asked to report for drill every Wednesday at 3:30 in order to get a thorough understanding of the manuvers. They are instructed that all members of the unit in its work yesterday and feel assured that the big field day will be a success from every angle, of interest to students and townpeople, and as an aid to the R. O. T. C. sturdy an understanding of their work.
Sophomores at the University of Pennsylvania will start a campaign soon to bring about a more general wearing of "knickers" on the campus. They hope to have every man in school adopt them.
Fair toight and Friday, cooler tonight. Possibly frost in the west portion.
NEW EQUIPMENT AT COMMONS
A new equipment to be rented for picnics and steak roasts has arrived at the Commons. In many colleges this has been very popular and has filled a great need. There are two sets of picnic paraphernalia, one large and one small, which will be rented only or can be combined if wished.
Paraphernalia Rented Out
They consist of two fire racks with windshields, which will each hold a coffee pot and frying pans, or can be used to make toast or broil bacon; tint coffee pots; two dozen white enamel cups; two dozen of knives forks and teaspoons, and each set has one long-hand fork; one bread knife, a covered picnic basket and most important of all, an old-fashioned tin dinner pan in which to pack ice and butter and cream.
The Commons is also prepared to supply paper plates, paper napkins, salt and sugar, and if long enough notice is given food may also be prepared and packed at the Commons, but this equipment may be rented independent of food supplies and either in whole or in part.
The rent of this equipment will be just enough to pay for it and add to it from time to time as it becomes more in demand.

What were you doing one year ago yesterday. Thinking of quiz-time and wishing you had some more money? Possibly. It's more likely, never that you were nursing a baby; that's a tenderly of your calloused hands, and cleaning the last layers of Stadium mud from your boots and oxford.
Dinner was ready to serve long before noon and the girls, many of them with sandwich filling staining their gingham aprons, left the gymnasium to inspect the cooking of the meat, and to marvel at the changed appearance of the bleachers. In one hour and eighteen minutes to the dot the

RADIO SERVICE IN EAST
Harrisburg, Pa., May 11. (United Press)-A daily radio broadcasting service for the farmers of Pennsylvania, which will include Pennsylvania market reports and other agricultural information has been planned Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and the Pennsylvania State Police.
Cercle Francaise Holds Election For Officers
The service will be instituted sometime this month and will continue throughout the year. General plans for this service were arranged at a conference between Secretary of Agriculture Fred Rasmussen and Mayor Lynn G. Adams, Superintendent of the State Police.
"This broadcasting service will prove of tremendous value," said Secretary Rasmusen. "It will prevent our farmers from rushing their products to markets that are glotted, will prevent the farmers from knowing it is the greatest demand for their products, and will generally aid in solving marketing problems."
The Pempsylvania State Police now have installed at Harrisburg a radio broadcasting station that is one of the most powerful in the Unit d States. The station will, each evening at a specified time, broadcast agrie- nting information throughout this and adjoining states which will be of value to the farmers.

Two Numbers Written by University Instructor Given at Fort Scott
Prof. C. S. Skilton, of the School of Fine Arts, has returned from Fort Scott where he attended the third annual convention and biennial musical festival of the Kansas Federation of Music Clubs. Two of Professor Skilton's compositions were performed at the festival. His chorec for women's voices "Midnight" was awarded a competition. This composition is based on an account by James Russell Lowell and was completed about two summers ago.
WORK OF PROFESSOR SKILTON IN FESTIVAL
"The Wilch's Daughter" was presented by a chorus of 200 singers on orchestra from Pittsburgh, Coffeeville Parsons, INdependence, Kansas City Wichita, and Port Scott, under the direction of Walter McCray of Pittsburgh, INdependence, Kansas City son, soprano, of Detroit, and Herb Rigby, gobert, of Chicago. In regard Parsons, Independence, Kansas City Star said, "The work made a profound impression. The musical setting is beautiful; the voice a leaping upward in sharpness." On orchestra suggests the superstitious shudders of early New England."
The inspiration for this production is strangely interesting. Professr Skilton read the "Witch's Daughter" in Munro's sixth reader as a boy in school. The cruelty of the villagers who scorned the girl after burning his mother was one he wanted a subject for his choral work he recalled Whittier's tale of love and witchcraft and found it quite modern enough for his needs.
University Musicians Give Concert at Topeka
With K. U. colors flying from the motor cars the University band left Fraser Hall at 1 o'clock this afternoon heading the musical organization parade to Topeka where the band, orchestra, women's wee club, and the men's club gave a concert in the Topeka high school auditorium for as many as the auditorium could accommodate. Topeka people have been vocalizations from the University and it is probable that crowds of people heard the concert given by the four musical organizations.

TEAM LEAVES TONIGHT ON "TIGERVILLE" TRIP
Coach Clark's Squad To Play Two Games With Missouri
RODY MAY START GAMES
Beatings By Frosh Does Not Mean Varsity Has Weakened
Coach "Pots"? Clark's baseball
squad will leave for "Tigerville"
tighten at 8:05 o'clock on the Union
Pacific. The men will arrive in Columba
Friday morning and will play
omorrow and Saturday afternoons.
They will get back to Lawrence
Sunday.
The twelve men who have made the other trips will go to Columbia. Coach Clark said that Roy would probably start as pitcher and Franzer as catcher. Joe Boyd, who was unable to play in a week's games, will win the position. Stephanie Trimp, who has been playing this position, will play in the outfield.
Kansas is going to Columbia determined to win both of the games. "The Varsity has been playing against the freshmen this week and have been playing good ball," Coach Clark said, Last night the freshmen beat the Varsity 2 to 0. Minetree pitched a very good game for the freshmen.
The fact that the frosh have administered two beattails to the varsity in as many days does not detract in the least from the prospects of two victories over the ancient foe. The year, it is an established aggression, and it is an established fail of a fall from the more experienced regulars is their ambition. In last night's contest the varsity lacked the fight and interest they show intermolecular games. The freshmen were fighting for every score that could be pushed over the plate, while their older opponents seemingly looked forward to a little frolic with novices. Tomorrow's course at pith Boomer's cobbles playing in the usual brilliant and scintillating manner. If the K. U. diamond can come up to expectations, two victories over the Tigers will be the answer.
Washington is leading the Missouri Valley standing with only one defeat and seven notches cut in the "w" column. Nebraska splash even with the Pikers last week in two closely-counted games of the national pastime. Kansas is running a close race for first honors with six entries on the right side of the ledger and two in the red. Two triumphs over the proteges of Coach Smith and a loss by the Pikers will place Kansas on top of the percentage standing. Kansas was meeting in third place and Oklahoma holds the last lureurs of the first division.
The K. U. squand in the best of condition for the crucial series. Pierce in right field has been improving in his fIELDING, and has been swinging his bifieldage from the portside with this bifieldage in this week's practices. Custer, Loebner, Bloomer, and Staplin have been cloning the ball with their usual ability, Boyd, who has slumped in his hitting, of late, is due to about hit his stride in the Missouri games. He is a natural hitter and has a keen eye at the ball, which he has increased to his average of last year. Boyd has played fast baseball at times, but has not been as consistent in his playing as he is capable of displaying. Frazier, although a little weak with the stick, is a hard man to pitch to, and is a player with a strong body. Body, who start the first game, has been having a little trouble with his arm. The recent warm weather has brought out a kinks, and he is primed to turn in his first victory of the season tomorrow. Roy was one of the mainstars on the pitching staff last season, and the second contest with Captain Bloomer ready to take the relief role in either game.
A. E. Bettie of the Kansas City Light and Power Company will speak at a joint meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers this evening on the subjects of "How the Kansas City Electrical Plant was Installed."
Since this is to be the last meeting of the year for both societies a business session will be held by each after the joint meeting. The attend- ing all numbers is desired. The electricals will choose officers for next year.
