An old English May day Fete, such as the maids and men of Old England gave on the green, in the days of Merry King Hai, is to be given by the monks of Kansas upon its own green, when May day comes to Kansas.
As the old time May party had its May Queen and its Robin Hood who supervised the day, so is the University of Kansas to have the most popular senior woman and the most valiant man to rule the revelers of the May fete. It was Robin and his band Forest and chose their queen, the fairest and most virtuous maid in the realm.
Only Robin Will Know Her
This spring though the queen will be chosen before the day itself, only Robin and his band will know her identity, and will pick her from the crowd.

P. B. K. IS- GETTING READY
Seniors' Records to be Reviewed Soon and Election Made
Phi Beta Kappa election will be held as soon as the records of the grades of the seniors are made up. Probably he will be held about the middle of Breast Cancer Awareness Day.
Prof. U. G. Mitchell, secretary of the association, is now at work with the records and will probably have next week. He is required to make up the words from the Registrar an eligibility list consisting of one-sixth of the members of the senior class who have the highest grades. Their ranking is divided by the sum of hours received by the total sum of grades received.
The Council of the Chapter, which consists of the faculty members of the chapter, then chooses from this list what whatever they decide upon—usually 20 or 25.

Better quit it, for the Jayhawken camera man will get you if you don't want it.
Five students, armed with all necessary photographic material, are out scouting for material to enliven the pages of the 1915 Jayhawker. They pay no respects to individuals or those whom they must get results. And if you happen to get "shot" with the wrong woman it will be your own fault.
Contrary to the precedent of former Jayhawkers, the management of the 915 book is going to print all the books he can get. So beware of the man with the little black kidkod. You never can tell who's a Jayhawk photographer.

Temperatures as high as 7,300 degrees Fahrenheit have been reached with the autogenous welding apparatus. The heat of the welding degrees is ordinarily reached, and the flame from the torch is so intense in heat and brightness that the workmen must wear smoked glasses to protect their eyes from ultra-violet rays which are given off.
KANSAS SUMMERS CAN'T BEAT THIS TEMPERATURE

ORCHESTRA HAS ITS FIRST 1915 CONCERT

NOT APPOINTED WARDEN YET
Prof. Blackmar Says Governor Capper Has Not notified Him
"It's all news to me. Governor Capper has not notified me of any appointment and unless he does I will have nothing to say on the subject."
The rumor came from Teopaake last night that Governor Arthur Capper was considering the appointment of Dean Blackmar as warden of the Lansing state penitentiary. The report presents warden, Jerry Botkin, would be in July and that Professor Blackmar was being considered as his successor.
The foregoing statement was made this morning by Dean F. W. Blackmar of the Graduate School when shown an article stating that he would be assigned with the University and become warden of the Kansas penitentiary.
For now.
On account of conflicting dates, only nine juniors appeared in Green Hall Wednesday to try out for places in the junior farce. A second try out will be held at 4:30 Tuesday, for the purpose of examining further candidates. Cecil DeRoin, manager and director of the farce, urges every junior with any dramatic ability to come out for a place in the cast.
Chancellor to Preach Baccalaureate Contrary to the usual custom, Chancellor Frank Strong will deliver the baccalaureate sermon to the senate. The committee on conventions, which selects the speaker for that occasion, chooses Chancellor Strong instead of an outside minister as has been the custom.

VOS PROFESSEURS
PARLENT TRES BIEN
Dit M. le Breton Hier a un Journaliste de Kansan, Etc., Etc.
Professor of Literature at the University of Bordeaux, contributor to the Revue de Deux Mondes and to the Revue de Paris, author of a masterly criticism of the French novel of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, and one prizes awarded by the Academic Francais—such as Monsieur le Breton, who yesterday addressed the local chapter of the Alliance Franceise on "The Origin of the Romantic Drama." Chapters of the society are found in America wherever there is any considerable number of French speaking
In Green Hall before the lecture a reporter was introduced to him by an instructor in the department of romance languages, and shook hands, with the conventional "How do you do, sir?"

Process
That, in response to his salutation in French, was rather less difficult than an attempt at an accurate rendition of "Bon jour, Monsieur le Breton". French, as once studied by the late Élisabeth de la Lawrence nor the Bordeaux warden. Besides, the lectures must speak English fluently.
Be that as it may. At any rate, the time before the lecture was limited, and a meeting of minds resulted much better than an enchantor acted as interpreter.
Chapters of the society are found in America wherever there is any considerable number of French-speaking Americans. Of the United States to address them
The question first asked by the professor probably reflected what was foremost on his mind. It would be interesting to know why it is that he has to use crutches to get about—involvement seems more likely to ask. A brother of his is serving the allied army, or was, when last word was had from the front.
"There are many friends of France here, n'est-ce pas?"
An audience which filled the lecture room heard the address, which was scholarly. According to M. le Breton, the influence of Shakespeare on French dramatic literature was not as great as might be expected, because characters were inferior, and the actors who interpreted them were not artists.
"Yes, but the attendance is reduced, and many of the professors have gone to war. Those who remain are working doubly hard. Your professors are not very much. I have visited those at Arbor and Madison, and I expect to spend a week at Yale. Your professors are very well informed, and speak the French language admirable. And your American newspapers give much more complete accounts of the war than we could get in France."
"The universities in France are they in session during the war?"
Have You Moved?
M. le Breton lectures before the Alliance in Kansas City tomorrow.

Writes Hoffman Saying Religious Leader Needs no Introduction
This is an extract from a letter received this morning from President Woodrow Wilson by Con Hoffmann, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.:
"Certainly Doctor Mott needs no introduction of endorsement from me, nor does Mr. Raymond Robins. I am sure that they are to visit the university."
President Wilson said further in his letter that the press of business in his office prevented his sending a formal message of congratulation to the University upon having such famous speakers for the campaign.
"Cordially and sincerely yours, Woodrow Wilson."
HERE IS SENIOR PLAY CAST

own tomorrow. Owing to a mistake in last night's Kansas, there has been some undertaking as to the date of the performance. The play will be given at the Bowersock Theatre next Tuesday night, February 23rd.
Rehearsing and staging a play isn't the only thing that must be considered in putting on an amateur production—especially if it is to be of the class of "The Professor's Love Story" which play will be given at the Bovesk on February 23. For in the case of the royalty of $50 must be paid to the manuscript company for a single production; which ought to be evidence that the play is a good one, for poor plays don't command high royalties.
The cast for "The Professor's Love Story" is:
Dr. Cosens—Carl Painter
Prof. Goodwillie—Deane McElhenny
Sir George Gilding—John Dykes

"The men on the Jayhawk basketball squad will have to play the best game of their lives if Kansas is to win from Missouri tonight," says Coach W. H. "Missouri undoubtedly has the best record in years; they play cleaner, more scientific and more consistently than any Team I've ever seen; and they have the impetus of being flushed with victory against defeating the Agagies on Tuesday for a fight. Kansas is going to be fight, and fight hard, if we win tonight."
The Tigers arrived in Lawrence from Manhattan yesterday afternoon, and worked out in the Gym last night. According to its usual practice, the team squared did not work out on the second game of the game. "Our men are in good condition however," said Coach Hamilton in speaking of the matter, "and I expect that they play the game as they should play it." Folks, who has been off of the lineup two weeks suffering from the muscle back at work again, and may be using the game tonight. The other members of the squad are playing steadily, and apparently have recovered from their disastrous Argo slump.

According to Coach Hamilton, Kansas has to win but two games from Missouri to secure the Valley Chambers; it is true that the Tigers haven't. It is single Conference game while Kansas has to give he says, "but, on the other hand, Kansas played more conference games than Missouri has. We defeated both Nees and Ames—teams which Missouri will at all—and consequently I think that an even break with the Tigers will give us the championship."

Williams for Mill Tax
The Daily Kansan Tuesday published the names of legislators at Topeka who voted against the mill tax. Included in this list was the name of I. N. Williams, of Sedgwick. Mr. Williams voted for the mill tax, when his name changed on the roll, but later changed it, that he might move the reconsideration of the motion. Mr. Williams is one of the most ardent supporters of the mill tax, and anything that gives the impression that he is not is a mistake.
