The K. U. Stag, which was to have been given in Robinson Gymnasium Thursday night under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A., has been postponed until Tuesday, May 2.
"The postponement of the stag only means added features to the program of stunts and talks," said Dutch Wedel, secretary of the association this week. "It's important every man in the University at the stag; they will never regret coming."

First Impressions of the Navy
Everett Palmer, Formerly Editor of Kansan,
Sees Lighter Side of Life at Great Lakes
Everett Palmer, former editor or the University Daily Kansan, who recently enlisted in the navy, writes as follows from Camp Farragut, Great Lakes, ill., to his father's paper, the Jewell County Republican:
Dear Folks: If I don't begin writing pretty soon, I'll not be able to start at the beginning. I imagine the first few days will be the most interesting. After we have been scrubbing floors and wheeling dirt for a couple of months, it may hurry us to find something new to write about.
After we were examined Friday morning to see that we had no firearms, patent medicines, cigarettes, or sulphur matches, we were assigned immediately to barracks in the detention camp. We are scheduled to stay here three weeks. Friday we got our bedding; but not our uniforms.
That brings me to a very lofty subject—our hammocks. I think the navy should follow the example of the Aviation Department and establish

American music was emphasized in the concerts given by the Minnesota Symphony orchestra in Robinson Gymnasium, Monday. The six numbers from MacDowell's "Woodland Sketches" were orchestrated by Emil Oberhofer, director of the orchestra. Mr. Oberhofer has studied MacDowell for twenty-five years and considers him the greatest American composer. MacDowell's love of the out-doors so characteristically expressed in his music lacked nothing of its beauty in the interpretation by the orchestra. Mrs. Edward MacDowell was in the audience yesterday.
Dovrak's famous symphony "From the New World" was played at the concert last night. The theme of this is American negro music, which Dovrak studied while in America. The syncopation of old banjo airs and modern ragtime appears in the opening movement. Something of the plaintive theme of folk songs is woven into the large and the symphony ends with an elaboration of both themes.

Senior Prize Play Will Start On Time Wednesday Night
"Fifty-Fifty" a Typical Uni-
versity Student Production
The annual dramatic event which is entirely a product of the University will be staged Wednesday night at the Bowersock Theater. This event is the senior class play, "Fifty-Fifty." It was written by a graduate student, Harold Lytle, and the actors and managers are students. The curtain will rise promptly at 8:30 o'clock, Howard Morgan, manager, said this morning. The seat sale has been unusually large, he attends because it attracts much attention because it interacts with local scenes and college interests.

"Glee Club Gambol"
Planned for May 3
Dance Money Will Go To Pay Expenses of Trip to
Funston
In order that the members of the Men's Gle Club may make back a part of their expenses to Camp Funston, they have decided to give a dance. The name "Glee Club Gambol" seems to be an outgrowth of the other rhyming names given to dances in the past.
May 3 is the date set for the "Gambol" to be given in Robinson Gymnasium. Dancing will start at 9 and continue until 1 o'clock. Arrangements have been made for singing at the dance. The floor of the dancers was covered and waxed so that the dancers may follow the nath of "least resistance."

Army May Send 200 For Technical Training
The School of Engineering of the University of Kansas may be used as a training school for about 200 drafted men this summer according to plans being discussed by the faculty today. Dean Potter of the School of Engineering at the State Agricultural College is at the University to teach the drafting mitte in locating the schools to be used in training the drafted men.
These men will be given special technical training during the summer months and the Engineering Building, Fowler Shops, and Blake Hall will probably be used for this purpose. The location of the schools for technical training of drafted men was hastened because of the large number of men drafted into the service.
Plain Tales From The Hill
POLITICAL NEWS
The political bee is buzzing.
Spring is in the offing. The bore-some stude who wants you to sign for the candidate who has never been heard of until you see his name on a bill. And us, the agitators, politician wants the stage. He hasn't done anything since last election, but he is here again.
The man who is for the best student interests; the man with a soul and head; the peelup's choice. He has come out from his quarters of hibernation. He is running free and careless on our campus. His affection for you is becoming touching. Sadly enough as the spring wears on the classroom he becomes distant, so does our Political Boss. His memory fails him; heavy planks in his platform become more Kindling.
The election has been won!
With the opening of the baseball season in the Missouri Valley conference yesterday with Ames, the K. U. baseball team made its first appearance in the new uniforms. The freshmen will appear in their new outfits today. Baseball fans at the University have consented to be quoted as saying that the uniforms look "neat and nifty."
A young man called in the draft and returning home this week received these instructions from one of his co-eed friends:
1. When down-cast and discouraged, think of me.
2. When hungry, think of me.
3. When lonesome, write a long let ter to me.
4. When the Huns are after you think of me.
"What is the meaning of this word?" asked the professor. "And where does it come from?"
While members of the 11 o'clock class were inspecting a news story of a trial, they came across the word "hectoring."
Hower: "It came from one of the oldest dog breeds that was old dog in Greek mythology."

W.A.A. Board To Give Annual Dance May 11
Party Will Be Semi-Formal Advance Announcement
Plans are being perfected by the women of the W. A. A. board for its annual dance to be given in Robinson Gymnasium May 11.
The party is to be semi-formal as to dress for men and women, but there is to be nothing half-way about the music and the decorations which will be far above the average standard.
Special attractions are to be introduced at the dance.

Veteran Publisher Puts New Life Into Students' Interest in Literature
William W. Ellsworth of Century Co. Addresses Department of Journalism
Learn to Write by Writing
American Publishers Declared Always on Lookout for Author of Promise
"The only way to learn to write so that any one will read you is to write; nulla dies sine laeva." American periodical literature is very plentiful. Power since the world began has the widest and so many periodicals to chose from.
"There are few people who would not like to have the power to write and to write so that other people would like to read them," said William Winnaworth in his lecture on "All the Things That You Need" in the national lecture room this afternoon.
Mr. Ellsworth was with the Century Company thirty-seven years and was for three years its president. During the years that he was connected with this distinctly American publishing house he became intimately acquainted with the growth of our national literature. Many of the fore-leres of America are his personal friends including Mark Twain, Thomas Nelson Page, Bret Harte, Helen Hunt Jackson and Winston Churchill.
Mr. Ellsworth is acquainted with almost every magazine published. He said it is not unusual to pay $20,000 to $20,000 for a serial of a well-known writer whose books are great sellers. "You don't have to read very far to learn the manuscript and the new writer with the mastery of the prodical son," said Mr. Ellsworth in encouragement to the journalism students.
Mr. Ellsworth's lecture was a real pulmotor. He awakened the imagination and the interest in things literary with word scenes taken from the lives of writers and from the editorial rooms he has known intimately.
"You can almost guess who started the first American Magazine," said Mr. Ellsworth. "Of course, it was Benjamin Franklin who was the originator of more new ideas than any other man who ever lived." And then in a reference to the effect of "Trilby" on the American people he said: "There were 'Trilby' hats and 'Trilby' shoes. A mother wrote to the publisher, asking what made her sad that her daughter was desperately ill, but with a few weeks to live, but she must know how 'Trilby' came out. The final chapters were sent to the girl, and before the appearance of the magazine containing them she had passed on where Du Maurier, the author was soon to go."
Woman's Swimming Meet Will Be Held May 7
Juniors Appear to Have Good Team This Year—Seniors Also Strong
The woman's annual spring swimming meet will be held May 7 at 7:30 o'clock at night in the pool in Robinson Gymnasium. The special event of the meet this year will be speed swimming. Last year diving was featured but the speed material is so promising that it will be the big event. However, all kinds of strokes will be used and there will be ten or twelve representatives from each class.
The junior class is placing high hopes in Edith Banks as their diver, Elizabeth Carnie was their champion last year.
The captains who were elected last week are getting their teams ready. At present the dope on the junior team places Maurine Clark, whose swimming greatly resembles that of Helen Wagstaff in last year's contests, at the top. Josephine Shaffer, on the freshman team, uses the Auschwitz camp and is a promising candidate. Although there are many promising swimmers this year in each class, the sophomores will feel the loss of Mateel Finch and Blanch Dorsett, when the seniors will miss Marie Deibel.
