"We want to prove to the University and the world at large that we do not have to go outside the junior class to get material for our enter- ing course. We are supported by the managers of the Junior Prom. "The sketch as Ferguson has written it so far is a clever piece of work. There is plenty of good local color and hits that will not offend. The Obred Magazine probably will publish an article about the fears of the April number, which appears the day after the prom."
Y. M. TO ELECT OFFICERS
Will Choose Next Year's Guiding Men at Meeting Sunday in Myers Hall
FRESHMEN WILL VOTE
ON THE CAP QUESTION
"The matter is to be decided altogether by the freshmen themselves," he said this afternoon. "In order to do this I intend to call a meeting a short time before the caps are suppressed and matters matter out there. Personally I am on the fence and imagine that the majority of the freshmen are in the same position. I do not think that the members of the class will be so anxious to wear the caps in the spring because we have been out doing other things and that was the primary object of wearing the caps at first."
The question of whether freshman caps will be worn in the spring is still undecided, according to Presidency Harrison, of the freshman class.

K. U. RESEARCH GETS WIDE RECOGNITION
Saturday Evening Post Print ed Article on Two Kansas Chemists
That the chemical research work done at the University of Kansas receives nation-wide recognition is proved by an article in a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post concerning the discovery by two K. U. professors of hickory nut butter and hickory nut oil. The investigators are Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the department and G. O. Patterson, an advanced student in chemical research.
These scientists, says the Post, have found that hickory nuts will give comparatively large quantities of oil that has a very pleasant flavor and a high food value. It is not necessary to use the fine shellark or shagbark hickories, for pignuts give practically the same results as the finer grades, and pignuts usually go to waste.
From a bushel of nuts one gallon and a half of oil is obtained. This can be used either as a salad oil like olive oil, or for other food uses. A possible development is the hardening of the oil by a new process called hydrogenating, making hickory nut butter.
WOULD REVIVE HAWK CLUB
President Sowers Appoints Henry Anderson Temporary Manager of Dramatic Organization
The question of the Hawk Club production has once more come to the surface. Clarence Sowers, president of the club, after several conferences with Henry Anderson has appointed him temporary manager to make tentative plans for a production about May first.
Manager Anderson said that he and Sowers had discussed several plays, among them several well-known dramas and comedies. "There have been several communications in the Kansan and more or less brought to the fact that dramatics had come to a standstill in the University, and justly so," said Anderson. "Now is the time to see whether or not the students will support the only dramatic club in the University. It seems a shame that Missouri can fill an opera house for three performances as the case last year, and we was the quibble over the fact of whether or not we can sell enough tickets for one performance.
"Sowers and I are willing to spare neither time nor money to make the first performance of the Hawk Club a success, if we can be assured of the support of the student body, but we could hardly be expected to start ahead on a production on as large a scale as we intend without some reasonable assurance that the Hawk Club will be supported in its efforts."
the medical school elected the following officers Tuesday: president, Jimson; vice-president, Claude Riney; secretary-treasurer, William Gillette

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB
WOULD JOIN FEDERATION
The Home Economics Club of the University has appointed a committee to apply for membership in the State Federation of Women's Clubs and the General Federation of Women's Clubs. It includes the women of all countries.
Will Apply For Membership in State Organization—Mrs. Brown Favors Plan
"The girls of the Home Economics Club decided that there was a large part of the work of home building that was out side of the home and this work could be carried out in organized effort better than by individuals," said Miss Edna Day of the home economics department "so they concluded that in order to get some experience in club work while in college that they should join the Federation of Clubs."
They invited Mrs. Eustace Brown, Advisor of Women to meet with them at their regular meeting and discuss it with them. Mrs. Brown was glad to hear of their interest in the question and told of the work they were doing there in helping regulate dairies and the general enforcement of pure food laws, all of which could be done better, through organized effort.
