Smalley Art Exhibit is Causing Much Admiration
Lawrence is getting a treat today and tomorrow in the form of art. Carl Smallay, well known Kansas art collector, is remarkable collection of prints and oils which are on exhibition in East Ad. About the walls they are grouped—Whatter, Millet, Sanden, and others. No representative group indeed.
One cannot help but pause before such bits of genre as Millet's "La Barretteque" or Israel's "Homeward." They are as well done and give the admirer a feeling of satisfaction just to study them.
Of the figures, perhaps Cole's "Robert Louis Stephenson" or Straws's "Thomas Hardy" stand out from the rest. Rembrandt's impression of himself in painter's smock is at once unusual and remarkably accurate for one that could not have been posed from real life.
One might go on at length about every picture and print on the wall in space permitted. It is indeed a most unusual collection and one which the individual who is interested in art can scarce afford to miss.
The regular weekly discussion on "Normal Sex Life" by Dr. James Nai-sult will be held as usual in Myper-Haifu with 20 oclocks. All men are urged to come.
Send the Daily Kansan home.

Infantry Section May be Added to Unit, Says Captain Reilly
Maj. Philip Worcester of the School of the Line at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., spokes at the monthly banquet of the University R. O. T. C. last night, following minor tactic maneuvers of the unit on the campus at the regular drill hour in the afternoon.
The chief difference between the man in civil life and the *man in* the army, the major pointed out, is that while the former gets a wealth of experiences in his particular occupation, the military man gets no actual test of his ability until the critical test in time of war. That is why the government maintains a school for officers at Leavenworth, teaching them the fundamentals of operations problems in military tactics to work out as they would be required to do in time of war.
Major Worecter has been in service in the Philippines with the field artillery and at West Point. When war broke out he was ordered to France, and at the expiration of his service he was placed at Leavenworth for the purpose of instructin the army officers in the school.
"Ju" Holmes, c'22, on the program for the evening gave a reading entitled "Boots," by Kipling. Follow- ure, he told a humorous poem, "The Miracle."
"Bill" Rilly, 123, captain of Company A of the a unit, made a talk on the infantry action of the army and its importance in modern warfare. The answer was that the R. O. T. C. of the University, he rests, with the student, an enrollment of 100 being required, and with congress for sufficient appropriations. A non-technical branch of service at the R. O. T. C. is vitally necessary.
Announcement of the R. O. T. C. hop for April 28, was made. At this dance proper identification cards will be required for admission, only unit cards will be required. This will be the second hop of the school year for the organization.
University Newsletter Off the Press Thursday
The significance of the new era at the University is the subject of the message in the current University of Kansas News Letter which will be off the press Thursday. The writer is J. C. Nichols, '02, of Kansas City, a man who has been an all important factor in the development of the successful Memorial program from its inception.
One feature of the campaign, it is said, is that the contributors have consistently responded when the pledges have come due. In the majority of communities, payments are ahead of the pledges. A list of Kansas City contributors continued from the last newsletter is also printed.
Athletic notes and a large cut of the "sky line at Mount Oread," taken from the slope west of Potter Lake, complete the issue.

"Well, Freshman," commands the Senior, Billy, played by Harold Dietrich, "never mind that. This house reearnings rearranging. Suppose you toddle that table over here." And to see Salty toddle the table would make a crab-apple burst his sides. And to see Sally toddling her legs and frivolous, intrigue herself into such a situation over her loves that she factions because as she says, "I was the only thing I could think of" is to smile. You will laugh too when you hear of her troubles over her widowhood at twenty-one and of her supposedly dead hero husband of whom she says, "I was contented and I felt so happy." And when did it made my heart a little happier to think that I could grieve—grieve for one who gave his life to such a grand cause. But now he makes me very unhappy."

PROM ENTERTAINERS ARE BEST OBTAINABLE
Annual Party Friday Night Promises to be One of of Splendor
UNIQUE LIGHTING EFFECT
Seniors May Obtain Tickets at Fraser Check Stand Until Noon Friday
"The O'Connor sisters are really entertainments," said Major H. D. Burdick this morning when asked concerning the work of these two young women who have been secured for the Junior Prom Friday evening, Major Burdick heard these two women in Convention in Muskegon, Oklahoma, and he spoke very highly of their ability.
In addition to these sisters who will sing frequently during the evening, a nine piece orchestra will be another feature of the party. The personal of the music is Shofstall, piano; Kimeno, bassoon; Lenz, tuba; Beeman, drums; Snyder, saxophone; Christiansen, barjo; Hemi, violin; Lucas, drums; and Kohlman, cornet Elmor Kohlman is a solo correctist from the Gayety in Kansas City and he will bring two new numbers of his own composition to the concert which will feature two new orchestra features that have just lately been incorporated in dance music. These two instruments make a combination which has never been heard on the Hill before.
The lighting effects which have been worked out for the Prom are very unique. A scientifically perfect crystal ball will be suspended from the ceiling in the center of the floor and strong lights of three different colors will play upon it. This effect will be used for alternate dances during the Prom. For other dances the lighting effects will be produced by myriad Japanese lanterns hung around the room under the edge of the balcony.
The list of Seniors who attended last year's Prom can not be found, was the final announcement made this morning by Parks and Patterson, managers. Every possible reason seems to have been deemed destroyed. Cancelled checks and individual receipts will be accepted as evidence, however, in exchange for a ticket. The managers will continue to keep a man in the check stand in Presse Hall until they are notified after which no exchange will be made.
MORE POSITIONS THAN MEN
Y. M. C. A. Secretary Desires
More Applicants for Jobs
Many men are receiving work through the Y. M. C. A. employment bureau, which keeps on file a list of available positions and odd jobs that can be handled by a student. During Easter vacation there was a special effort to secure work for those who stayed in Lawrence during the vacation, odd jobs totalling over one hundred dollars stipend as well as five permanent jobs that will bring over $175.00 were accepted.
"Lawrence people respond readily to the 'Ys' call for work for students," said Mr. L. A. Wailworth, secretary. "We now have more jobs than apprentices and roommates at Room 108 Fraser, on the place where work is open."
According to Mr. Walworth, the Y is anxious that more men come and take the jobs as more men can be placed with the jobs that come in each day. At present there are three permanent jobs and about fifteen odd jobs that are not filled. The Y office will remain in room 108 Fraser until the end of the semester and will be open from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.
There are also a number of K books, which will be given to any Y. W. C. A. women as well as Y. M. C. A. men who desire them.
Possible Members For Sachem Are Discussed

Several things of vital interest were brought up for discussion. Among these was a resolution in the form of a motion by Sandy Winsor that all seniors be allowed to attend the Junior Prom with or without receipts, unless last year's managers can find the receipts of last year. This was unanimously passed, but the members fear that no action will be taken.

AUTHOR OF K. U. SONG HERE FOR FEW DAYS
Prof. George Barlow jenny, B. S., who organized the School of Fine Arts at the University of Kansas and composed the "Crismon and the Blue," is back after many years to spend at f w days in visiting the old place.
Organizer of School of Fine Arts
Spends Easter Vacation
in Lawrence
Professor Penny was at K. U. in the administration of Snow. He came to the University in 1890, with the purpose of organizing a School of Computer Science for five years. During this time he did many things for the general benefit of the University. The organ built in Fraser-Chanel is chiefly the result of his perseverance.
teems of about forty concerts given by him or under his direction went toward this fund. Many out of town concerts helped out. Together, with the aid of the students and town people who gave a fair, enabled the University to replace the piano with a pine organ for the chapel exercises. This was in the days when chapel was held every day. Although the chapel is used much less today and there will be fewer concerts, the university in the new auditorium being planned, Professor Penny thinks the old organ will have served its purpose.
Everything was different then. The University newspaper was but a small weekly. "But now," says Professor Penny, "in my mind it surpasses the Cornell Sun," which is considered an ideal school newspaper."
There was much clamour at the meeting of the Poetry Club last night when Freel. E. M Hopkins informed the members that the composer of "Crimson and the Blue" was in town, and not brought to their meeting. But all the students who have heard that Professor Penny wrote the words to K. U. Alma Mater are anxious to hear the song before he did by the students of K. U. for twenty-five years, but the author was unaware of its popularity. He is now professor of the theory, the history, and the literature of music in the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester in New York. Professor Penny established the school of Music there which is endowed by Mr. Eastman, the kodak man. Professor Penny's classes comprise the literature of Illustrate" lecture on the Evolution of the Fine Art.
Prof. and Mrs. Penny will be with Prof. and Mrs. Carl A. Carey until Friday, when they will go to Kansas City to visit Mr. and Mrs. Harrington on Warwick Boulevard, both of whom are graduates of K. U.

WILL SUPERVISE SALE OF ACTIVITY TICKETS
Council Dissatisfied With Present Handling; Asks Profit-Sharers to Assist
NEW MEMBERS AT MEETING
Printing Company Offers to Reduce Bill Against the 1921 Jayhawker
Student activity tickets will have organized supervision next year, if present plans of the Men's Student Council work out.
It was decided last night at the meeting of the Men's Student Council that Chancellor Lindley be asked to call a meeting of the heads of the organizations sharing the proceeds of the activity tickets, in order to affect some organized system<sub>m</sub> of handling these tickets. The debating council, the hand, the orchestra, and the athletic department share in the receipts from the ticket sales. In the past no one has ever won tickets; it was of them, but the athletic department, being the most prominent undertook the work, thus giving it the responsibility of a work from which others received profit.
Due to some misunderstanding, the tickets were not out this year in time for the first football game, necessitating the sale of special football tickets. This meant a very small sale of the activity tickets and a consequent deficit in the funds of the other organizations involved.
Thess conditions, the Council hopes to remedy.
Following this action, the defect on the 1921 Jayhawker was discussed. The printing company, which has a bill of $3,000 against the Jayhawker, has offered to settle for $1,500 by the first of May, but if it is not settled by that time, will bring suit against the editor and business manager.
Burt Cochran, the business manager, hrc agreed to pay back his salary, if by so doing the University will exonerate him from any further responsibility in the matter. Ferdinand Gottlieb, the editor, refused, however, to turn over his salary and act as counsel to the governors. No action was taken by the Council. Elmer Isern and Cap Garvin were selected to take office at once on the advisory board of the 1923 Jayhawker.
The Student Council keys were presented and approved. The wearing of these keys was a custom establishment, but given up during the war.
After allowing all outstanding bills, the treasurer reported a balance of $200, which will be turned over to next treasurer at the installation of the new Council, which will take place on May 2.
The members of the new Council were present at the meeting last night in order to get acquainted with the way business is run and also to be informed of the current problems facing the Men's Student Council.
RHADAMANTHI ORGANIZES Poets' Club Elects President and Secretary

He served in the English department, who acted as Rhadamanthe, read and criticised several poems. He also announced that "An Anthology of College Verse," by "Poets of the Future," was being made up, and urged members of the club to submit manuscripts.
Eleven were present at last night's meeting. The next meeting will be held Wednesday, May 3, at 3:30 o'clock.
