NOT "HOBBY'S" FAULT,
SAY ANNUAL AUDITORS
Jayhawker Books Gone Over And Manager's Financial Efforts Praised
$500 DEFICIT IS NOW IN SIGHT
Hobson Estimated Within $12.00 o
Cost of Book—Accounts Open
For Inspection
The Auditing Committee found that the cost of the Jayhawker came within twelve dollars of the estimated cost made by Manager Hobson last year, which contained only absolutely necessary expenses.
That everything has been done by Asher Hobson, manager of the 1913 Jayhawk, to make it a success financially and to promote it in every way, was the decision made Committee when he made land and night went over the books and accounts of the annual.
At present it looks of if the Jay-hawker would have a deficit of about $500, but it is due to lack of support and interest taken by the student body, and not to any carelessness or fault of the manager says the auditing committee, which thinks the Jay-hawker is too good for the school and that the standard will have to be lowered after this unless a better scheme of financing the book is found.
The books and accounts are open to whom ever wishes to inspect them and may be found at Manager Hobson's office in Green hall.
The members of the Auditing Committee are: H. S. Neal, faculty manager, Elmer Whitney, A. G. Allison, editor, Asher Hobson, manager, Russell Clark.
CHAPEL A MUSICAL
TREAT THIS MORNING
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 23, 1913.
A musical program of three numbers was given in chapel this morning. The first number was a piano solo by Miss Ruth Delibert, who received a great deal of applause but did not respond to an encore.
Miss Mary Jarvis then gave an organ solo performance of the encore did she get old?
Miss Clara Powell sang "Birds Are Singing" in such a pleasing way that she was forced to respond to the encore "To You."
HAZEL DAY VICTIM
OF SULPHURIC ACID
It was announced that Mrs. Yaggy, of Hutchinson, who was to give a violin solo, was unable to be present, and chapel was prematurely dismissed.
Hazel Day, a, sophomore in the College from Canton, was burned severely on the right hand by sulphuric acid this morning when in some unknown manner some of the acid was sulished on her hand.
Last year she was burned on the same hand so severely that skin had to be grafted on.
WEEK-NIGHT DATE
RULE KILLED—ONE WEEK
The 'Week-night Date Rule', will be suspended from Thursday May 29th until the end of the semester.
KANSAS WOMAN STOPS
INAUGURAL BALL7.
Such was the announcement that the Women's Student Government Association made this morning. This ruling will hold good only the rest of the school year, and does not in any way foreshadow the policy of the new Council for next year, says Vea Spots, secretary.
That a woman, a graduate of the University of Kansas, was largely responsible for President Woodrow Waddell inaugural ball, has just leaked out.
The woman is said to be Dr. Annie Heloise Abel, at present professor of history in Goucher College. It is said that Miss Abel wrote a letter to President Wilson with a letter asking the President answered, and as a direct result of the letter the veto on the big social function came.
"BILLIE BOFS" BODY
FOUND NEAR WEAVER
The body of little "Billie Bob" Atkinson, who disappeared last week, and who was given up as a victim of the Kaw, was found this morning near Weaver, about 10 miles down the Kaw river toward Kanass City.
The body was found by a fisherman, John Williams, in the middle
Short funeral services will be held tonight from the family home on Mississippi street. Burial will be in Nevada, Mo.
CAPS ON THE REST OF THE YEAR SAYS COUNCIL
Because Freshmen Lids Weren't Burned This Morning Wear 'Em the Latest
Because the freshmen did not burn their caps this morning as expected to, the Men's Student Council, through its president, Leslie A. Dodd, this morning announced that all freshmen caps must be worn the rest of the year.
The bonfire of freshman caps did not blaze in front of Fraser hall at chapel time this morning. The freshman class did not meet and march in a body to the scene of the cremation headed by their president, as was prophesied yesterday by an upper classman who wanted to start a tradition. Not a freshman cap sizzled. Freshmen gathered to see the fun if the sophs start something, but the upper classman remembered last Friday's struggle. There was not a paddle on the hill this morning.
The consensus of opinion among freshmen was that their caps were their own property which they wished to keep as reminders of exciting times and to use as evidence in years to come when they would take their children on their knees and tell them how they charged the sophomores one dark night back in 1913.
President Reber, who was to lead his classmates to the pyre, could not be found this morning, but it is unanswered. The reason prevented him being present.
MEMORIAL CONTROVERSY
SETTLED SATISFACTORILY
The controversy between the senior class memorial committee and the University committee on grounds has been satisfactorily set aside. The university memorials however will depend on the further action of the senior class.
Professor Griffith in opposing the plans of the class thought that Orad avenue at the point where the memorial was to be erected was at least fifty feet in width, and that the two small columns proposed would not be of sufficient size. After loking at the dummies erected he readily agreed that the two columns of the class would in fact be far better than the one advocated by the grounds committee.
AVERY OLNEY ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF COLLEGE
Louis Gloyne was chosen vice-president and Helen Short secretary-treasurer. About one hundred Collegians were present at the meeting.
Avery Olney, a sophomore in the College, was elected president of that school for next year over Paul W. Brendan, held in Fraser at 12:15 today.
Dr. H. B. McCracken, professor of physiology at the University of Kentucky, is the guest of Drs. Sudler and Sandwall of the School of Medicine.

"TOMMY" PICTURE FUND
REPORTS IN MONDAY
Hal Rambo, chairman of the committee to collect nickels for the "Tommy" Johnson memorial picture, said this morning, "I wish all members of outstanding committees would report to me Monday so that we can finish up this matter before tomorrow." He added that it could easily be done the week-end and all money ought to be collected by this time."
The exact amount of money collected so far is not known, but Rambo expects enough.
PHARMICS AND MEDICS WANT EMERSON

THESE ENGINEERS WON'T RISK BATHING SUITS
They have decided to wear something besides bathing suits.
Miss Rachel White, '09, who has been teaching in the Enterprise high school, will teach at Fairview next year.
TWO BOARDS MUST AGREE ABOUT CHANGE
Missouri Valley Conference Board of Control Holds Strings on Game
That two boards, the new Board of Administration and the Missouri Valley Board of Control an athletic body made up of representatives from conference schools, must agree to any change in the Kansas-Missouri football game, is the case, so Manager Hamilton says.
Regarding the change, Manager Hamilton knows nothing but explains that final action in any case really lies with this conference board rather than with the Regents. Regents agreed to take the game back, this board still has the final say as to what is done.
"I'd like to see what the students think about taking the game back," said Uncle Jimmie Green this morning. "Then I might say what I said."
"You know what t I think if you heme me in chapel last year," was all Registrar Foster had to say. Student opinion is split, to just what extent is not known.
"BUN" WILSON TO
EUROPE THIS SUMMER
"Bunnie" Wilson, star quarterback and the man that made the touchdown last fall that beat Missouri, withdrew from the law school this morning to return to his home in Horton to meet his parents whom he will accompany on an extended tour of Europe this summer.
Wilson does not know definitely as yet whether or not he will return next fall. This loss on the football team will be keenly felt by the coaches.

35 SENIORS STAND BY 1913 ANNUAL
In Meeting Today They Frown On "Memorial Before Deficit"
A special meeting of the senior class will be held next Tuesday in Snow hall at chapel time.
Elmer Whitney, President
When the question, "annual defect of senior memorial" was put before thirty-five members of the senior class in Snow hall this morning, no definite action was taken, but the opinion of those present was unanimous that the senior memorial should be sacrificed before the annual deficit is left for Hobson and Allison to shoulder.
Elmer Whitney, president, struck the keynote of the class sentiment in his explanation of the reasons for calling the meeting. "I have brought the class together this morning," he said, "to decide what we shall select the theme as proposed or shall support the annual.
"The management of the annual missed its estimate by but $12. The deficit has been created not because of any inefficiency on the part of the management, or not because of any lack of work on their part, but simply because of the fact that the books are not selling.
"The management followed the rules of the Student Council. It is a deficit of the class and should not fall on the management. I dislike to see the Memorial dropped since the controversy" with the grounds committee has been settled, but would rather see this happen than allow the annual deficit to stand. The management did not know this meeting, but this means and furthermore have asked nothing from the class."
The memorial plan was not dropped. Several suggestions were made to secure a memorial. It is proposed to have several plans worked out in detail and submitted at the next meeting of the class, which has been called for next Tuesday in Snow hall at chapel time.
Only thirty-five members were present, and accordingly no final action could be taken on the matter. No one raised any objection to the class making up the deficiency in the fandis, and all agreed that it would be poor policy to erect memorials and at the same time leave a standing debt of several hundred dollars on the annual.
Elsie Fleseon, a senior in the College, will spend the week-end at Onaga, Kansas, the guest of Rachel Baugartner, '12.
G. C. Shaad, professor of electrical engineering, will entertain the senior electrical engineers at a six thirty o'clock dinner tonight at his home in University Heights.
Miss Pearl Emley, assisted by Miss Grace Waugh, reader, will give a graduating organ recital at the Methodist church Tuesday evening.
Mr. Ralph Spotts was called to Randolph Wednesday by the death of his father-in-law, Mr. J. Johnson.
The Allemania club will go on a camping trip at Forest Lake for the week-end. Miss Ernst and Professor and Mrs. Hood will accompany the party.
BARGAIN WEEK ENDS WITH A BIG RUSH
More Subscriptions Today Than All Other Days Combined
ONLY TOMORROW REMAINS
Letters With Post Mark Dated May
24 Are Accepted at $2.00 Rate
—Better Hurry.
Subscriptions came into the Daily Kansan office this morning by the dozens If the present rush continues fully five hundred students, professors and alumni will have taken advantage of our offer by six o'clock tomorrow night.
Everyone on the hill seems to know about the saving and only those who are broke are holding off. A larger percentage of faculty members than students had paid up at noon today—probably half of the professors had "come in" by that time. The free Summer Session Kansan is the particular offer that goes subscribers, though the savi$ it twenty per cent in the subscr$ a price is a big inducement. On the mail this morning the first big bunch of mail subscription was received. Up to the time the alumni had not taken a very active part in the campaign but from this morning's results it looks as if they will save almost as many half dollars as the students.
The circulation manager was highly pleased by the result of the offer. "I didn't look for so much money," he said at noon, "but supposed that the chief value of the campaign would be to acquaint our subscribers with the increased price next year."
Then he commenced to write receipts again.
Yesterday was the banner day of the week so far for subscriptions to the Daily Kansan at the bargain rate of two dollars. Almost as many people paid in advance yesterday as had accepted the offer all week up to that time.
Most of the subscriptions come in singly. The Phi Gams, however, subscribed for ten copies, and they will receive the bound volume of the paper from January 1912 to the end of the present semester. The Sigma Gams subscribed instead of five copies this week until next fall.
More members of the faculty, in proportion to their number seem to be anxious to plank down their "two bones" and receive the Summer Session Kansan than do the students. Twenty-one professors paid up yesterday. The students seem to be more unanimously broke.
A freshman in one of the prominent fraternities conceived an original method of becoming rich. He planned to buy twenty-five subscriptions at the $2.00 rate and then peddle them out next fall for $2.50.
The circulation manager told him that all subscriptions were payable in the same manner.
He decided to remain poor.
With the subscription of Miss Mollie Carrol, to be sent to the Canal zone where she will spend the summer, the Daily Kansan adds a third to its foreign list of new subscriptions. The school in Davao, Dr. Dainis, who goes to Paris and Wayne Edwards who is teaching in the Philippines.
Three more fraternities have subscribed liberally for the Daily Kansan today. They are Beta Theta Pi, Acacia, and Ipsilon.
