BIG PARTY TO TAKE
PUGET SOUND TRIP
Students And Professors In Traveling Summer Session Edition Leave June 18
A special car has been chartered to take a big party of K. U. students and professors interested in zoology to the Puget Sound Marine Station this summer. The party leaves Kansas City June 18 over the Chicago Great Western Railroad to Saint Paul, going then over the Canadian Pacific Railroad to Friday Harbor, Washington, with stops en route at Victoria, Vancouver and points of interest in the mountains.
The trip makes an ideal vacation, with the best possible conditions for summer study, especially to high school teachers and those interested in biology.
A study will be made of animal and plant life, for which credit will be given in the University of Kansas. Those who are leaving in this party are enrolled in the Summer Session of this University.
The Puget Sound Marine station is a co-operative institution maintained by practically all the educational institutions of the Northwest, the University of Kansas being one of the schools represented. The station is located in the midst of a picturesque group of islands in Puget Sound. The teaching staff is up of about ten professors from various universities, Professor Baumgartner from Kansas being an instructor and a member of the council.
The following will be members of the party from Kansas:
Dr. W. C. Curtis and two students from Missouri; Prof. R. B. Wiley and five students from Iowa; two high school students from Sloux City, Ia.; Professor Baumgartner, wife and daughter; Professor Trettien, wife and two daughters; Professor Whitehill and Jackson Miss Ruby Jackson; Prof. Rupert Peters, wife and daughers, of K. C., M. G. Miller, of Topeka; Miss Irene McCullock; Miss Dessa Rankin, of Coldwater.
The following will probably be in the party, but have not definitely decided yet: Miss Glendale Griffith, Ray Beamer, L. G. Allen, Victor Householder, Dr. A. Richards and two students from Austin, Texas.
STUDENTS FAVOR PLAN FOR UNION BUILDING
The $2.00 pledges for a Men's Student Union, circulated on the hill today, were generally signed up by all submitted to.
As soon as the entire student body has been canvassed the Council will make public its results and start formulating plans. Student sentiment seems to favor the plan.
There will be a joint band concert by over 100 pieces in South Park tonight by the combined First Regiment and University bands. A good program will be given.
K. U. Extension Director Considering Offer From Gopher State
MORE SALARY, BIG BUDGET
Northern Institution at Outset Plans to Spend Three Times Amount Provided by Kansas.
A formal invitation to accept the directorship of the Extension Di$vios$ion of the University of Minnesota was received by Prof. Richard R. Professor Price returned from a conference at Minnesota yesterday.
The new position offers a much better salary than that offered by the University of Kansas. The budget at the northern institution provides $40,000 a year while Kansas has about one-third that amount.
Professor Price has said all along that the salary question is not the important consideration to him. The opportunities for larger service made possible by better state support appeal strongly. He has the offer under consideration and will not decide until one or two small details are worked out to his satisfaction.
The legislature of Minnesota last month allowed the University every cent asked for by President Vincent, amounting to three and a half million dollars besides a women's gymnasium building and a men's Student Council building.
KELLERMANN BACK TO GERMANY TOMORROW
Professor Kellermann of the German department leaves tomorrow for his home in Germany. Mr. Kellermann came to Kansas in the fall as an exchange teacher from Marburr University.
German Professor Likes Exchange Plan And Our Consideration to Strangers
In speaking of his work here Hern Kellerman said that he believed that the exchange plan was one of the best methods in use for instruction in languages. It gives instruction both to the students and professors, he asserts, not only in the language in question but in the customs, ideals, political conditions and peculiarities of the respective countries which otherwise would be unemphasized.
Oread high school graduating exercises will be held on the evening of June 6 for the following: Francis Payne, Evelyn Strong, Alton Gumbiner, and Venera Miller, of Lawrence, Leroy Spangler, and Laport Spangler of Lecompton, and Mabel Champlin of Phillipsburg.
Professor Kellermann wishes to thank all those who have been connected with him in any manner for the pleasant year spent here. "Americans," he says, "are very kind and considerate and give more time in the University work to more than we do Germany. I count this as one of my best and most profitable years and shall always hold K. U. high in my esteem and watch her progress with interest."
OREAD HIGH TO
GRADUATE JUNE 6
The program for the evening will be as follows: Song by the chorus; invocation; male chorus; address by C. M. Harger of Abilene; girls' girl club; presentation of diplomas; closing number by the school chorus.
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Zimmerman, of San Bernado, California, relatives of Dr. and Mrs. F. W. Bushong are visiting today in Lawrence. Mr. Zimmerman is an instructor in the shops at San Bernado, Calle, and just returned from a convention held at Topeka for the instructors in all the Santa Fe shops.

KANSAS-OKLAHOMA TENNIS THIS WEEK
SMITH NEES.
RICHARDSON BURNETT, Captain
The last dual tennis match of the year for Kansas will be held at Oklahoma Friday and Saturday, singles and doubles.
Smith and Johnson will represent Kansas in the doubles, Smith competing in the singles. Oklahoma's tennis team is an unknown quantity since it has not been represented in any conference meets this year. Above is last year's tennis team.
STUDENTS ASK THAT GAME GO BACK TO K. C
Petitions to Board of Control Concerning Change Now Being Signed
Petitions to the Board of Regents to have the Missouri-Kansas football game taken back to Kansas City this fall began to circulate on the hill this morning.
Practically none of the students turned the netting down.
So far as ascertained, more students seem to favor the change back to Kansas City than oppose it. In one meeting of junior and seniors last week 20 out of 25 wanted the game back.
Among the five dissenters "Doc" Coats was perhaps the strongest advocate of keeping the game here. With him was "Miner" Dingman and others. Against them were Bill Norris, "Chuck" Dolde, and a general mixture from all schools.
O. O. Mallele, instructor in water survey laboratories of the chemistry department, has accepted an offer made by the Missouri Pacific railroad and will not be in Kansas next year.
Mr. Mallele will have charge of water treating plants on that road from St. Louis to the gulf, with headquarters at Little Rock.

Vice-Chancellor, Called To Leland Stanford, Addresses Students In Chapel
SUGGESTS WHAT GRIEVED HIM
Good and Bad of the University, as it Has Appealed to Him, Reserved Out
A large crowd that filled chapel this morning arose and applauded heartily as Vice-Chancellor Carruth who leaves in August for Leland Stanford, was introduced to give his farewell address to the University of Kansas with which he has been associated as student and professor for nearly forty years. Chancellor is producing him acknowledged himself with objections to Professor Carruth, "the most important force in the University for righteousness and scholarship."
"I have been wholly unable to realize that I am going away," said Professor Carnrith. "I seems as if I were going on a sabbatical leave and letting Leland Stanford pay the cost.
"I will not give you the reminiscences of forty years as you might expect, for I have not yet reached the reminiscent stage. My face, like yours, is turned forward, looking to the future.
"I am not going to speak of some of the things that have grieved and pained me here. I am only going to suggest them to you. I only wish to give you a reminder of the pain experienced at the exuberant recklessness of juju journalism, the painful slang and froth of the headlines;
"Of the grief which smoking causes me;
"Of the excesses of dancing, in time and kind;
"Of the great neglect of chapel exercises;
"Of the foolish timidity which causes the few who do attend chapel to take the rear seats;
"Of the seat hog;
"Of the stealing of souvenirs;
"Of the denatured profanity in some of our sons;
"Of the neglect of literary and musical benefits:
"Of the flippant thoughtlessness of some students;
"There is, however, much to commend. I wish to make mention of the serious study of nine tenths of the University students, which does not afford the Kansan any stories;
- "Of the faithful classes who have not cut when I have been late;
"Of the good debaters who are really bringing us glory and credit, but for whom the band does not have a voice, we are more applauded than our athletes;
"Of the earnest essays which are being written;
"Of the growing sense of responsibility of the students;
"Of the student government associations, which are doing much good, though they have done some foolish things, such as as concerning them, with what should be on the freshmen's heads, rather than in them;
"As chairman of the faculty advisory committee for the Men's Student Council, I wish to deny the statement made by one of our student speakers that that organization has threatened him. The faculty committee has not run the Men's Student Council or even influenced it;
"One rule of student life I wish might prevail; 'What will the effect of this action, this move, this Mlaer reputation of my Mlaer Master.'
At the end the audience- sang "The Crimson and the Blue," which Professor Carruth helped write, and gave a final "Rock Chalk."
