Are Paying Dues, Getting Mea sured, Securing Invitations and So On
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1922.
THE DEADLINE COMES SOON
NUMBER 132.
Each Must Pay Budget and Have Measurements Taken by Thursday Night
Fraser check stand is one of the most popular places on the Hill today. Seniors are paying their class dues, getting measurements for caps and gowns, and ordering handsomely made dresses. The senior initiatives Starting yesterday rather slowly, the upperclassman have realized that the deadline for senior business is drawing high. More than thirty seniors had transacted business in the past an hour on an even hour this morning, and more are expected this afternoon.
"Every senior must have paid the budget and had measurements taken for caps and gowns by Thursday night, if they are to appear at the commencement exercises in the conventional academic garb," said Evan Baldwin, the women's class, today. "All those who are expected to be graduated this spring should visit Fraser check stand before going home during the Easter recess. Few seniors will enjoy the vacation unless they have first performed their class obligations. All seniors should wear caps and gowns must do so before the Easter recess," Bradley declared.
Special cards have been printed for the convenience of the different committees in the collection of the senior dues. Each upperclassman fills out the card that gives his name, Lawrence address, permanent address, and whether he is to be sent, telling whether he has had any military service, intended occupation, and news and comment.
Statements showing where every cert of the $7.50 budget voted by the class, are also shown on the cards. The distribution of the budget is as follows: cap and gown, $2.50; memorial, $1.00; alumni association, $3.00. If three hundred seniors pay the alumni dues, the Alumni Association will refund for every $3 paid.
The invitations being used this year by the class of '22 are cheaper than those of last year, but that does not distract from the quality of the invitations. The leather invitations cost 50 cents apiece and the paste board cels sell for 25 cents. Each invitation contains the class roll and officers. The covers on both kinds are made of cardboard and engraved with the seal of the University. The number ordered thus far shows the popularity of this year's announcements, as several hundred have already been ordered.
Eri Mierer, vice-president of the seniors announced that personal cards will be mailed to each person who attended the meeting. "And that he meet his obligations at once."
"Few seniors realize that Thursday is the last day for payment of dues and the taking of orders, and with their help they are informed of information them," said Miner, when asked why the delinquent seniors were being sent these special requests. "This is the only way that we can get in touch with all the seniors, and we are told that our dues they are informed of the these payments," he said.

"The child, too generally, has been regarded as a miniature adult," said Doctor Sherbon. "As such, he was expected to think and reason as an adult and was beaten or subjugated by fear if he did not do so. Science has shown us enough about the real way in which the child's mind and body develop, and enough about growth and social development. This understanding of the child and a new appreciation of his place in racial history and in social progress.

Poet Has Breakfast Date With His Wife
Chicago. April 11—H. C. Auer poet and magazine writer had a date with his wife at brk. kfast.
It leaked out, after Auer's marriage to Miss Constance Underhill recently, that both were continuing to live their lives very much as before.
The intruder knocked at the home of *f. Auer*. The post answered the bell, whereupon he consented readily to have a guest for breakfast.
"It's the bunk," was the back-fence verdict.
"Don't come in" she warned, "I am just combing my hair."
"We are leading the lives we want to lead," Auer explained. "Just because two persons get married is no reason why they should lose their individuality. We both do the things we want to do. No wife should be an adhesive plaster; neither should a husband."
"Just a minute," the apologized, "I'll see if my wife is up yet. She may still be sleeping as she went to a theatre night, eight with a six-season credit."
Auer knocked at his wife's apartment.
Mrs. Auer entered the breakfast room. She served.
Between cups of coffee and munches of toast she aired her views.
"I went to the theater last night with a man I have known for a long while. Why not? My husband frequently takes girl friends out. Why should we drag each other around all the time?"
"Sincerity and honesty of purpose are the things that count in marriage. If we can't trust each other, our marriage is a fat failure.
Just before the guest departed Mrs. Auer announced her intention of spending the day gathering "local color" for a story.
"All right," said Auer, "I'll see you breakfast tomorrow. I'm going to take Mary to dinner tonight."

Kansas prospects in baseball for this year are very good. With a good squid of experienced men told that the season is bright, Bad weather has prevented the players from showing any unusual ability, so far, but with the season schedule now starting the team to develop into a real organization.
Every man on the squad will be given a chance in some of the games scheduled on the present trip, according to Coach Chalk. Rocky or Custer will probably start the first game at pitcher. Frazier will be behind the bad for the start but the receiving for the last pitch between him and Lonberg, Captain Bloomer will cover first base. Boyd will be at second, Wenzel at third, and Murphy at short. In the outfield Ferrall, Larchl, and either Pierce or Staplin are the probable players for the start of the first game. Parks and Pierce will both take a turn at bat in some of the games as well as will Lonberg, pitches Ferrall will cover first base.

He called off the garnements one by one until he came up with a new gowning gown, "Kimoo" said Williams.

"Pair of hose," "And this?'" "Shirt-waist," said Buck. It wasn't. Buck and his fellow cop waiting to go on the lawyer howled a note of triumph in his voice, "Teddies your honor!"

DELAYED NOMINATIONS FOR W. S.G.A. ARE IN
Two Women Disqualified at Last Minute in Class Representative Election
POLLS WILL BE IN DYCHE
Open at 9:30 and Close at 4 o'clock for the Second Election Tomorrow
Three new candidates for the W. S. G. A. election to be held tomorrow were nominated at 8 o'clock this morning by the W. S. G. A. nominating committee. The reason for the delayed nomination was that two candidates qualified and because one ticket has lacked a candidate to fill its ticket.
The disqualified women—Twilla Chappius and Jean Coffin—were not permitted to run as class representatives in the election to be held April 12 because their petition lacked a sufficient number of signers. According to the W. S. G. A. constituent candidate for an office of class representative must have specified number of signers from each class. The disqualified candidates lacked just one signature from the junior class.
The candidates who were nominated this morning were Mary Clouser, Irene Pebbany, and Rebecca Leibengren. Miss Lefenghebb and Miss Leibenghebb were among the candidates caused by the disqualification of Miss Chappuis and Miss Coffin. The other newly nominated candidate, Miss Clouser was selected because one of the tickets was only party filled, and the W. S. G. A. constituent committee declares that in any election each ticket must be completely filled.
As in last week's election the polls will be open from 9:30 until 4 o'clock. The women on the polls will be various members of the W. S. G. A. The votes will be counted as soon as possible after the polls are closed.
The W. S. G. A.'s action prohibiting large posters being used in the women's election applies to this week in Iowa, according to Ruth Minter, secretary.
