THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MANY STUDENTS WORK
WAY THROUGH SCHOOL
K. U. Employed 243 Students Last Month—More Jobs
Open
"What are the chances for a follow to get work to pay part of his expenses at that school?" is the query often made by the man who is preparing to attend some college or university.
That the opportunities afforded at K. U, for the student who wishes to turn his spare time to profit are good, is demonstrated by the combined reports of the Business Office, the Reliability Employment bureau at the M. Y. C. A.
According to the information given by the students themselves, about fifty-four per cent of the entire enrollment is either partly or entirely self-supporting. Slightly over seventy per cent of the men pay at least part of their expenses, and about half of them support students who either send themselves to school or partly support themselves. Of course this does not mean that this percentage of the students are supported by the work they do while in Lawrence. The majority of the men do some sort of work during the summer so that when secure employment in Lawrence will help swell the budget for the year.
A large number of students are employed by the various departments of the University. This number varies from month to month, but usually remains well over the 200 mark. During February 243 students drew checks from the University pay office for various kinds of work done. Principal and the staminaigrophyte work done in the different offices of the University is done by students, and much of the clerical work is also opened to men and women of the University. In the scientific departments where laboratories are maintained, students are hired to clean, set up, and take down the apparatus used in the experiments. The list of members of the number of men and women, and some of the junior work of the buildings is turned over to the students.
The employment bureau at the Y. M. C. A. has helped 345 different men to secure jobs this school year. Permanent employment has been given to 206 men through efforts of the Y. M. C. A. more than 393 jobs have been distributed to the men of the University this winter. At the opening of school in the fall, the Y. M. office usually has more applications for work than it can fill, but later in the year there are often a number of vacant positions. At present the Y. M. C. A. office has several employees, and no one to fill the positions.
The Y. W. C. A. runs a similar bureau for women, but as the number of women who want work is much smaller than the number of men who are earning expenses, the office nearly alimented by it than it has applicants to fill them.
Of course there are a large number of students working who have never made application to the University or through the employment bureaus, and many who are in the number that are earning their expenses. According to George O. Foster, registrar, the student who is working, as a rule, does very good school work, and usually has a higher ranking than the University average.
ANNUAL MAY FETE TO COPY OLD ENGLISH
Cast of 160 Required for Interpretive and Folk Dancing
The annual May Fete gives every spring by the University of Kansas will be given on May 14 this year, according to Miss Adelaide Steger, a member of the committee which is in charge of the plans for the event. The central idea to be carried out, according to the present plan, is that of offering a festival, in which all the villages hold their annual festival on the village green.
The first part of the program will serve as a prelude to the May Fete proper, and will consist of interpretative dances with appropriate music in which the Grecian idea in costumes, setting and atmosphere will prevail.
The second part of the program is planned to represent the May revel or folk festival of a little English wizard, with dance and dancing contests, playlets, songs, etc.
A cast of over 160 persons will be required and the committee is very anxious to have anyone who is interested in taking part in the program to report at the gymnasium and sign up.

TOMMY JOHNSON WAS
GREATEST ATHLETE
Hero's Picture Hangs in Robin son Gymnasium Today
Ovee in Robinson Gymnasium in the trophy room hangs a life-size picture of Tommy Johnson-K. U.'s greatest athlete. Tommy Johnson stood for the highest type of athlete — clean, a real sportsman, modest, retiring, and always ready to fight to the finish. A wonderful athlete himself, so adored by all these three, he has the memory of Tommy Johnson in K. U. forever. His name is linked with that of "Uncle Jimmy" Green, and the University of Kansas will never forget the deeds of these two men.
Tommy Johnson was a Lawrence boy. He entered the University in 1904, and he was eligible for varsity play. He played at the university from 1905-06 he played forward and center on the basketball ball team, and was a teammate of Dr. P. C. Allen, now director of athletics in the University. He also played on the basket ball team in 1907.
Probably Tommy Johnson excelled in football more than in any other game. He played quartetback on the famous, ever-victorious team of 1908. Tommy Johnson's greatness was acknowledged by the Kansas Nebraska game in 1907. With only five minutes left to play the score tied, he raced 90 yards through the entire Nebraska team only to be called back by the referee. A few second later he duplicated this wonky font and won the game for Kansas.
Besides playing on the football and basketball ball teams, Tommy Johnson was also a track athlete and a baseball player. In track he polevaulted and ran the hurdles. In baseball he was a catcher.
The last athletic contest in which Tommy participated was the annual Missouri-Kansas football game in 1900. In this game, which was played in Kansas City, Johnson was injured. Two Missouri men, Blank Alexander, made a scissors tackle and him he was injured in the back.
This injury developed tuberculosis and for two years Tommy fought death away with the same fighting spirit that marked his athletic career. On Thanksgiving morning, just two Tommy Johnson played football game Tommy Johnson died.
K. U. will never forget Tommy Johnson. He is the idol of the Uni'
verisity now just the same as he was he
went in 1908-09. His wonderful athletic carecve will always be an inspiration, man, and to every athletic team.
ANCIENT GREEK PLAY VIVIDLY INTERPRETED
Appreciative Audience Hear Miss Spinney's Presentation of Alcestis
ImPRESSive for the real art of the interpretation, was the presentation in Fraser Chapel last night of "Alceasie," by Miss Dorothea Spinney, noted English dramatic interpreter here under the auspices of the Edward MacDowall fraternity. Owing to the tournament and numerous other affairs scheduled for last night, there were a number of vacation seats in the back of the chapel, but the crowd was considerable, and was thoroughly appreciative.
Euripides "Alessiat" is a Greek play written 2300 years ago. It is a strongly dramatic story of the sacrifice of Alessiat to save the life of her husband Adriam. Adriam was prelambed by proclamation, death. Miss Sipinley displayed wonderful versatility in interpreting the different characters introduced, varying from the crouching, leering "Death," to the soft swollenness of Alessiat'
Miss Spinney's heaters were impressed with the strength and sincerity of her work and her utter abandon, yet they never lost the sense of artistic simplicity and unity in her work. She wore a Grecian costume. Died drippingly, a couch that tall but sturdy, the only stage properties employed.
Miss Spinney left today for Columbia, Mo. to fill an engagement. From there she will go to the University of Nebraska.
Canoeing in the pool in the women's gymnasium will be a course offered to summer school co-eds at the University of Iowa. It is expected that students will be in the intricacies of since management at the completion of the course.
