MARVINITES SPORT ON CAMPUS TODAY
Engineers Start Day With Big Parade at 11 O'clock
BAND LEAD$ THE PROCESSION
NUMBER 146.
Insguised as Everything the Horn Tooters go Ahead and Serenade Appreciative Laws
The festivities of Engineers' Days started at 11 o'clock this morning, when after the careful elimination of several "hard" collars found among the assembled Marinites, the Engineers' band gave a short concert in front of Marvin Hall. The West Enders then posed for a picture front of their building, and the pavade started through the campus.
Leading the procession was the Engineers' own band of twenty pieces, elaborately costumed in disguises. The band's Highlander to that of a Lawrence wash-lady. Seven automobiles occupied by Chancellor Strong, the faculty of the School of Engineering and the officers of the engineers, followed the music. Then came a large car which carrier车 full of sanitary engineers.
The chemical engineers, in frock coats, silk hats, moustaches, and goatears, occupied four open carringles with placards bearing such inscriptions as, "Eventually, why not now?" and Board of Directors." The junior civil rode in a tally-ho, singing the famous song, "The Can Sing," by Bob Dylan. A flat wagon furnished with several drafting tables. Curtains hanging from the sides gave the float the appearance of a stone bridge.
The architectural engineers marcher, carrying signs painted on shingles with bright green paint. The freshman float bore a huge washing machine, and signs labeled it as the "Freshwater Dryad." It all seemed removed." The freshman engineers followed their float, two by two.
The junior electrical float was constructed on a motor truck. It was manned by men in military uniform, who operated a complete wireless telegraphy plant. A banner on the front of the float read "On to Mexico." Bulletins said to have been received over the wires were distributed among the crowd by runners attendant upon the float.
A machine labeled a "Whiting Hoist!" was the feature of the mining engineers' float. The mechanicals had a large steam shovel in operation to lift the ore. The senior electrical displayed a device designed to "Kill the Klowatts."
The parade halted in front of Green Hall to serenade the laws, and was heartily applauded. It then proceeded after a circuit of the downtown streets, to McCook field, where the engineers took lunch. The baseball games, tugs o' war, and the track meet are in progress this afternoon
To Hold Last Meeting
The last meeting of the Mot. Campaign committee will be held Wednesday evening in Myers Hall. "This is the last meeting of the year and there will be lots of business to take care of," said Con Hoffman, Y. M. C. A. secretary, "and we want to see everybody out."
Laws' Club Will Meet
The Jurisprudence Club of the School of Law will hold its last meeting of the year on May 13th at the home of Professor Humble. A speaker from Kansas City has been secured for the occasion.
FUNSTON CALLED HIS BLUFF
General Marched a Bully Into Court While He Was a Student at K. U.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSASTUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 5, 1914.
A recent article in the Chicago Tribune, booming Funston for president, tells some very interesting additions in the life of "Fighting Fred."
Among others is the story of a little incident that happened while Funston was in school at the University. It tells about a time when he was bullied by a bully weighed about 200 pounds and once while trying to satisfy his thirst for blood, he chose Funston who weighed only 130 for a victim. Funston called his shuff and proceeded to attack a school and marched the bully into court.
While Funston was in school at the University William Allen White was here. While this may have had something to do with arousing his taking ice, nevertheless each of the men, proud of the odyssey's sequence,
TWO MEETS BEFORE VACATION
Varsity Track  Men Have Yet t
Tangle With Kansas Aggies
Two big track meets are in store for the Kansas squad before the Jayhawkers wind up at the season. The Kanslers will go to Manhattan Friday, where they will meet the Aggies, and May 16 Hamilton's runners will journey to Columbia for the annual meet with Missouri.
Every afternoon a large squad reports for practice on McCook and Coach Mosse is whipping his athletes into shape. The Kansans expect easy sailing at Manhattan but the Missouri meet is doubtful.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
STUDENTS OWE UNION DUES
The signers will be given until Friday noon to pay their pledges and those who have not paid by that time will see their names published.
Approximately 150 students who signed the pledge to support the Student Union have not yet paid their assessment, according to Randolph Kennedy, chairman of the Union committee.
The chairman of the committee in charge will send out "reminders" in the form of cards to the owing persons and if the list is not cut down by Friday, the names will be published. The committee needs the money to pay up accumulated debts which have been incurred.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
MAKES SURVEY PLANS
Plans were made for exhibitions of the charts and statistics which will be held down town on June 5 and 6, and at the University June 8 and 9, at the meeting of the executive committee of the Lawrence survey last night. Prof. F. W. Blackmar of the department of sociology, said that the actual work of the survey would probably be completed by May 26.
The Sachem chair for the Student Union is being constructed now and will be turned over to the Union as soon as it is completed.
Altogether 200 people will be connected with the survey, many of them students who will receive credit in courses for their investigations.
Sunday will be special Estes Park religious Day at the Y. M. C. A. Mothers Day will also be celebrated. There will be special music and other attractions.
SACHEM CHAIR FOR UNION IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
To Hold Estes Park Day
SOPHS AND FROSH WILL SMOKE PIPE OF PEACE
Yearlings and Their Persecutors will Have Love Feast Soon
"Bury the paddle and smoke the pipe of peace." is the unprecedented plan of the mighty sophomores, who will entertain the fresh at a final soph bum, to be given about May 23, (skidoo day). The wielding of the paddle will be ended, and instead of greeting each other with hand gestures, the paddle and fresh will thereafter exchange tender greetings and looks of love.
The soph bum committee is preparing a program, the most novel ever. There will be no dancing, the entertainment consisting of love messages by the class presidents, music and dance by the dancers, the funeral of the paddle, at which the freshman girls will be the hired mourners, the freshman boys the bereaved relatives, the sophomores pall bearers and clergymen, and everyone sexton. After the sad rites of the funerals they will go far as the sophomores are concerned the freshmen may discontinue wearing their caps.
Sophomores will be requested to bring freshmen dates and "vice revers", insofar as possible. Tickets, admitting self and date, will be sold to the sophs boy at 25c each, it being impossible for them to obtain tickets to finance the affair. The price of admission to the freshman will be one girl.

PUBLISH K. U. SUNFLOWER
New York Associated Alumni Get Out Magazine of After Dinner Speeches
A new eastern variety of the Kansas Sunflower blossomed forth upon the literary sea of New York April 3, at a dinner given by the New York Alumni Association of old K. U. graduates. The magazine was intended as a unique relief from static after-dinner speeches so frequently inudged in, even at Kansas banquets, for its insight into the different literary geniuses the University once boasted of as her own.
The editor-in-chief was Brock Pemberton, assistant dramatic editor of the New York World. The staff was composed of Edwin Slosson, literary editor of the Independent; Jeffrey Horsley, C. L. Edison, on the Evening Mail; Miss Kate Stephens, author; Mrs. Florence Finch Kelly, member of the staff of the New York Times Book Review; Willard Wattles, post; and Harry Kemp, poet and wanderer. He wrote a book about a large Kansas sunflower on the front cover as a reminder of their home-state and University.

112 MERCHANTS GO TO SCHOOL AT K. U.
Large Number Enrols for 3 Days of Lectures and Discussions
CHANCELLOR OPENS WEEK
Dr. Strong Starts Program With Address of Welcome—Two Stenographers Take Speeches in Shorthand
When the program of Merchants' Week opened at ten o'clock this morning, the lecture room in Blake Hall was filled to overflowing with merchants from all over Kansas. Two stenographers were on hand to take down everything that was said, and everyone was interested. Notwithstanding the noise of an almost continuous line of new arrivals, the opening speakers received the closest attention.
At 12 o'clock today 112 had registered. They came from everywhere and from every business, although most of them were retail dealers. A great many came to spend but a single day but a large number intend to stay for the entire three days. The extension division believe they have made it easy to prey upon for when they arrived on the Hill this morning, seven merchants were standing outside the door waiting to register.
After an hour or two on the hill they were all students again; the spirit caught them. When the Engineers' band began to play there the teacher entered the tuned room and some of the "students" cut class to go and see the parade.
At ten o'clock Chancellor Frank Strong, made the opening address. His talk was short, delineating the functions of the University. He said the three functions of a University were; the teaching of young people and giving them the results of the experience of civilization, doing research work, and being of public service.
Following the Chancellor's talk were short addresses by E. T. Hackney and E. W. Hoch of the Board of Administration, who came down from Rosedale last night to be here for Merchants' Week. After Mr. Hoch, Prof. D. C. Crossman and the workers of the extension division in reference to merchants and the business world in general.
