Senior Women Elect Leader of Festival; but Won't Tell Whom
THEY VOTED ON THREE GIRLS
NUMBER 130
Miss McCoskrie, Leta Harsell and Beronice McFarland Candidates Discuss Royal Hair
Winona McCoskrie was chosen Queen of the May at an election held in Fraser Hall today by more than fifty girls of the senior class. Only three contestants were nominated for the honor, Winona McCoskrie, Leta Harsell, and Berenice McFarland.
A suggestion was made and sustained by a number of the girls, that the Queen confine her flowing locks in accordance with the dictates of the fashionable coiffure. A motion was then made and carried by a unanimous decision, the removal of queenly locks be left to the discretion of the queen herself.
A motion was then made to keep the election a "dead secret" until the day before the Pinafore performance, but the result of the election was well known on the hill this afternoon. Miss McCrieskie is senior law student from Chanute. She is only the woman in the School of Law.
A motion was then entered to count the ballots at once. It received ten seconds and a unanimous vote of approval, so the little band waited in silence while the ballots were counted; the majority of votes to one of the three.

"The Church of the Uncle Jimmy," said its chief executive. "I wish him seventy-two more years of youth so that he may be able to live out a full rounded life. It gives me great pleasure to come here this evening to pay tribute to the man of Kansas, Uncle Jimmy Green."
"Men are mistaken who think that money is all, that fame is all," said Chancellor Strong. "I want to impress on you that no man can do can be impressed to his country than in moulding its youth. Long life to Judge Green."
Mr. W. W. A. Johnston, chief justice of the Supreme Court of Kansas, expressed himself as pleased to come to Lawrence between sessions of court to hear "that great public benefit for whom everybody loves, Uncle Jimmy Green."

"The truth," he added, "does not swell his head, nor narrow his influence with the boys nor with all mankind. He is the same, sympathetic, broadminded, Uncle Jimmy that he has always been."
Hon. George A. Neeley, representative from the seventh district of Kansas, said he expected to find covered upon a tomb many years from not hiscription, "Uncle impress in the state of Kansas."

Kenneth K. Simmons, graduate of the law school last year said he thought the secret of Dean Green's success was that, in the words of the poem, he had lived in a house by the road and been a friend to man.

used some coworkers.

The Student Speak
Harland Hutchings spoke on behalf of the junior laws on the subject. "In the Embryo."
When the toastmaster introduced Dean Green, the first gentleman of America, the cheering was loud and long. The room was darkened and a light flashed on a portrait of Uncle Jimmy in the far end of the room.
"I owe a great deal to this law school," he said in a quiet voice. "It is a source to me of perpetual youth. Though I am seventy-two years old today I feel as you now as I did when I began my work on the bill. That can be accounted for by my association with you, young men, drawing from you your youthful spirit. I am deeply grateful to all of you."
Today is a holiday in the School of
Law and we continue the celebration in
honor of our teachers.
