SENIORS CHOOSE STONE BENCH AS MEMORIAL
Select Seat on Campus Reserved for Fourth Year Students
WOULD START A TRADITION
Class Initiates Plan to Celebrate "Freshman Cap" Night During Last Week of Semester
The class of 1914 has come to life.
Besides voting to erect a memorial—a stone bench—the class will initiate a movement to celebrate "freshman cap night" and furthermore it has decided to be prepared for graduation. Some original class souls and vells.
Margaret Villepigue had plans ready for the stone bench eight feet long with a name plate in the back. The cost will approximate $100. A fifty cent fee will be levied by the bank. If enough money is obtained a longer bench will be erected. The pulpit for chapel and the senior fence were suggested at this morning's meeting again but the final vote was unanimous. No one was proclaiming of the plan is that only seniors will be allowed to use the seat.
All this was decided at the chapel meeting this morning which made up in enthusiasm and ideas what it lacked in attendance.
Paul Cubbison suggested the "freshman cap night" idea. The plan is to have the four classes form in front of Fraser at eight o'clock some evening during the last week of school. After a march over the campus led by the seniors in caps and gowns, through rows of red torches the procession would go to the golf links and hear farewell dresses by a few seniors, short dresses by members of each of the other upper classes, and then the meeting could be turned over to the freshmen. A snake dance and yell fest would end in a grand cap burning.
The seniors will ask other classes to assist in completing the plans for the new custom. The president of the class will appoint committees to perfect these suggestions in a day or so.
WOULD HAVE FORTY GO TO ESTES PARK
Y.M.C.A. Starts Campaign for Big Delegation to the Annual Conference
"Forty Men to Estes Park" is the slogan which has been adopted by the University Y. M. C. A. for the rest of the school year.
At a meeting of the Estes Park committee held yesterday afternoon this goal was chosen for the campaign to be started this week. The men who are laying the plans for the big campaign are: Leland H. Jenks, chairman, Ralph Yeoman, Hugo T. Wedell, Harry McColloch, Rex Miller, Chancellor Frank Strong, and Prof. U. G. Mitchell.
For several years an annual conference of college men has been held at Estes Park immediately after the close of the school year. In addition to furnishing a splendid outing at small expense, this conference has proved a tremendous inspiration to students who have attended it from about three or four hundred men from Kansas, Nebraska, and the Rocky Mountain states have been in attendance.
An alumn of the University, H. L. Heinman, '06, has active charge of the conference this summer. The dates are June 9 to 18. Speakers of note from all over the country have been secured for the meetings.
As a nucleus for the Kansas delegation this year, it is probable that the Y. M. C. A. cabin will make the trip in a body. Plans to defray part of the budget delegates as an inducement to the trip are now under consideration.

BOARD TELLS WHERE INCREASE HAS GONF
Points Out That Many Deep apartments Had to Exceed the Original Budgets
ENROLLMENT NOT ANTICIPATED
Heavy Demands Made on Extension
—$10,000 for Coal—Saving in
Business Office of $6,000
"Few people realize how difficult it is to carry out the original plans of those who make up budgets for a great university like ours. It is impossible to anticipate every need that must be met. In connection with the budget presented, we are of interest to present a few figures based on the budget presented to the Board of Administration by the Chancellor and Deans, May 1st, 1913, showing when expenditures have been authorized over the amount recommended in that budget.
"In the Engineering School the experience of working at that time unlocked for expenditures of Dean Marvin's salary as dean for three months and as Advisory Dean for nine months, and Mr. Porterfield's salary, made necessary by the orders of the Santa Fe Railway requiring their civil engineers to work in their service, and also the adding of Professor Goldsmith's department of architecture to that school.
"That budget has also been exceeded in Bacteriology to the amount of $780 because it was necessary to buy extra microscopes.
Needed Graduate Physician
Needed Graduate Physician
"It was also exceeded by the sum of $4,733 in the department of medical physiology and pharmacology of the University of California standardizing agencies that it was necessary to have a graduate physician devoting his whole time to that subject.
"The budget was also exceeded in the department of laboratory diagnosis because of the necessity of buying $200 worth of extra microscopes. "It was exceeded by the sum of $2,233 for propping of the library floor, at Rosedale, which was sinking and the requirement that we paint the inside of the hospital to make it habitable.
"In state service work the budget was exceeded by $3,594; $1,000 for publicity, $1,500 for the purposes of grasshopper prevention, $300 for pellagrass experiment and $400 for extra equipment for the water analysis department. In addition, the requirement of the United States Treasury Department that the University should certify the purity of water used on inter-state trains and
the expenditure of $380 to cooperate
with the Foundation in the To-
beke Survey.
Many in Correspondence Courses "In the Extension Department the budget was exceeded by $1000 on account of the very unusual enrollment in that department which made necessary the appropriation of $750 more than Mr. Price thought was needed by the city attorney of papers and also made necessary the use of extra stenographers.
Forgets The Game Warden
"The budget for the museum was exceeded by $600 arising from the relation of Professor Dyche to this museum," he wrote. He drawn $3,000 per year from the University budget. No provision was made in the budget for his pay. It became necessary to appropriate $1., for his salary, the other $2,000 to be paid and this adjustment makes this loss.
"The budget for general expenses was exceeded in the appropriation to the amount of $12,124. $10,000 of this was for coal, $500 for the University Kansan, in part payment for 900 copies sent out daily, $250 for Graduate Magazine, $414 for Lawrence Today and Yesterday, $96 for Science Bulletin, and a few other small items.
"Under general maintenance there was a gain in each department. The business office will cost $6,118 less than the budget, the Registrar's office $20 less than the budget, and theancellor's $100 less than the budget."
"The Advisor of Women will cost $750 for the year."
