(1) I will work for the establishment,
next year, and will act with Council to
ask a grant of land from the legislature for the erection of a suitable building on the campus.

MECHANICALS WIN ENGINEERS' DAY MEET
Get Thirty Points From the Various Contests Held on McCook
The Engineers' parade yesterday morning served, as a starter for one of the best Engineers' Days ever observed on the Hill. The parade was well received by the down-town spectators, as well as by the students on Mount Oread, and it is needless to say that the Marvinites did full justice to the lunch served them on McCook field.
In the athletic events of the afternoon, the mechanicals were the victors, winning the greatest number of points in the various contests held between the different departments. The team as follows: 15 in the track meet, 4 in the spectacular relay, 4 in the interschool relay, and 9 in the tug o' war. To the机械s was awarded the pennant offered the school winning the most honors on Engineers' Day. This pennant is to be awarded by the committee of the will be given a place in the assembly room of Marvin Hall.
Close upon the heels of the mechanics came the miners. They unassessed a total of 30 points, 5 in the rack meet, 10 in the spectacular rebound, and 8 in baseball. The civils followed with 5 points, 7 of them won in the specular relay, 6 in the tug o' war, and 2 in baseball. Last came the electricals, with 20 points, 10 in the track meet, and 10 in the inter-school relay.
The management of the Women's Student Government Association will pass into the hands of the new council on May 14. On that date the old council will officially resign their guardianship of the mid-week date rule, the "10:30" rule, and numerous other charges intrusted to their care.
Five baseball games were played as a part of the athletic program. The mechanicals lost to the architects, 2 to 3. The civils showed their mettle by defeating the electricals, the architects, and the miners, by the scores of 3 to 1, 4 to 2, and 8 to 2, respectively. The miners pitched in the chemist's at a 13 to 4 game. Weidlina starred for the civilis, pitching a total of 11 innings. Dingman starred for the miners at first base.
Trophies were offered for the various athletic events by Con Squires, Lee Bryant, Allie Carroll, the University Book Store, Rowland's, and Gustafson. Johnson & Carl furnished the programs.
NEW. W. S. G. A. OFFICERS
TAKE UP WORK MAY 14
An election of class representatives for the new council will be held May 10.
About 175 couples attended the Engineers' Dance in the Gym last evening. The decorations from the Sophomore Hop were used, with the addition of an electric sign put up by the mechanicals. Punch was served from five bowls. The program consisted of sixteen dances, with only two two-steps. It was necessary to omit a couple of the numbers, as the dance was required to be over at ten minutes before midnight.
Alta Lux is spending a few days with Beulah Davis before going to Kansas City for a visit. Miss Lux was a junior in the College last year, but had to leave school in the last half of the second semester because of a severe case of appendicitis, and was unable to return this fall. She expects to be in school again next year.

The first of the two pictures above shows the Museum in its present condition, the second as it would appear with vegetation about it.
The pictures are reproduced from identical postal cards, on one of which S. Herbert Hare, a landscape architect of Kansas City, Mo., who has been delivering a series of weekly lectures before Prof. W. C. Stevens' botany students, has painted vegetation. The cards were prepared for one of the illustrated lectures delivered by Mr. Hare. At the suggestion of Prof. W. C. Stevens, his classes were laid out. What had happened to the daily Kansas City, Mr Hare lectured here yesterday, and will again tomorrow. The lectures are given in Snow Hall, at 4:30, and are open to the public.
Speaking to a reporter for the Daily Kanan yesterday evening, Mr. Hanwang
"Previous to the visits in connection with this course of lectures I had been in Lawrence only twice; but in all my visits I have carried away a distinct impression of a pleasant home-like town set in a peculiarly beautiful piece of country, both the town and the surroundings being quite different from that we usually associate with the rapidly developing, commercial state of Kansas. However, with these general impressions, one is surprised to find upon our arrival from every little merit in the development of any individual ground or public land.
"The University, dominating the town both physically and otherwise, should be the leading inspiration or

"The blame for the first two faults does not fall upon any person or set, of persons. It is the result of working without a comprehensive plan for extensions and location of new buildings, drives, walks, and other improvements. I understand there is something in the way of a plan for future extensions and it is to be hoped that the new expansion will be the beginning of a new era in the development of the remainder of this most inspiring site. Many other universities are now working toward comprehensive plans
W, S. G, A. Will Try to Sell Pinafore Tickets to Every Student
Tomorrow is to be tag day with the W. S. G. A. girls. Members of the Council will be out with "Pina-gara," down town, and on the campus.
"Everything is ready," said Maude Lourey, manager, this morning. "The cast is well trained and we have the costumes ordered. The date is fixed for May 9, which is the only date ever set. Our cast has been working hard from the first and the date never has been postponed."
"The last fault mentioned, the nakedness or bare appearance of the buildings, can be remedied. A few years' growth of properly chosen and located trees, shrubs, and other plants would not only affect a wonderful environment, but also walks, drives, and buildings, and giving more pleasing glimpses rather than blank open views; but would add considerable beauty in the color effect of flower and foliage. The older buildings no matter how out of date they may be architecturally impressive, the monument fixtures in the landscape 'on the Hill', and should be made to look at home so far as is possible."
Two feature dances are being trained by the instructors in gymnasium. One will be given before her preparation, and the other is a buttercup dance given in connection with the famous buttercup song in Pinafore.
The tags are 25 cents each and will admit the bearer to any seat in the Gymnasium at either afternoon or evening preformance. The queen will be crowned just before the afternoon preformance at 2:30 o'clock.
A complete outfit of costumes has been secured for the performance. The costume is

BLAKE CANNOT HOLD THEM
Large Crowd Compels Use of Chapel
—Evening Session Held in Snow
—Merchants Take Ride
No ten o'clock classes will be held tomorrow. At this hour special chapel music services will be held in connection with the Merchants' Week. All students are requested to attend and show the visitors what kinds of yells K. U. has.
When the merchants of Kansas assembled on the Hill this morning for the second day of Merchants' Week, there were enrolled 217, or nearly twice as many as were here yesterday.
The first day's meetings closed successfully with a meeting in the evening in Snow Hall. After the meeting in the afternoon, the Lawrence Automobile Club and a number of other car owners took the merchants for a city tour. The city were shown the sights for nearly an hour and returned in time for dinner.
At noon yesterday the crowd had become too large for the lecture room in Blake Hall, where it was intended to hold the meetings, so the chapel in Fraser Hall was used. In the event a meeting met in Snow Hall, but all of the remaining meetings will be held in Fraser.
Lectures Interesting
The lectures thus far have been so wide awake and instructive that not the slightest lag in interest has been apparent. All of the speakers have fashioned their speeches to meet the particular needs of Kansas merchants, and many have illustrated the points with Kansas experiences.
J. H. Craig, director of publicity of the Central Shoe company of Kansas City made the first talk yesterday morning on the Psychology of Advertising. Mr. Craig illustrated his points with reference to successful advertising by giving some of his own experiences. He was followed by Henry Schott of the Ferry-Hanley Company of Kansas City. Mr. Schott's talk on Newspaper Advertising was enthusiastically received. He gave some clear and concise bits of advise in regard to the improvements of advertisements, talking especially with regard to the small towns.
The remaining talk of the morning was made by E. F. Maxwell of the Inter-State Poster Advertising Company of Topeka. Mr. Maxwell illustrated his talk with a number of different kinds of posters.
Discusses Store Fronts
In the afternoon W. S. French of Niles, Michigan, gave a black board talk on "Store-Fronts that Pay Profits." His talk included plans for fronts for stores dealing in every category of products hit with the audience. At the end of his speech he answered a number of questions asked by the merchants.
W. C. Simons, of the *Lawrence Journal-World*, who was the next speaker, made a very interesting talk on "Special Sales." He gave instances of the success which has handled the question of Lawrence at the conclusion of his talk, answered a number of questions on the best methods for various localities.
Charles P. Adams of the Merchants' Journal of Topeka, gave the last talk of the afternoon on "How to Advertise a Store by Circulars, Handbills, and Other Printed Matter." Mr. Adams had various kinds of handbills, etc., to illustrate his lecture.
