NUMBER 155
PRES. REBER IS TO LEAD OFF
In Order to Make a Tradition, Council May Change Lettering of Freshman Derbies
Members of the freshman class are receiving the proposition to establish the tradition of burning freshman caps with various feelings. As yet the attempt to hold a jollification over the burning of their caps has not been taken well to heart. Many freshmen to keep their caps till the year when they can sell them to some other institution first year man.
There is a plan under way, however, that will defeat the plan to save the caps. Next year it is planned to have the distinguishing marks on the caps letters instead of buttons. Instead of a white button for College freshmen, a white C will be worn on the front of the cap. The other freshmen will wear the initial letter of the school to which they belong. All the best freshmen will wear them this way and if any first-year man next fall is up-to-date he will be summarily dealt with.
With the only motive for saving them disposed of there is no reason why the pyre of caps Friday morning shall not assume gigantic proportions. The freshman class will meet and march to the scene of the coming cremation headed by their president.
Any freshman feeling too swagger to walk with his class will be assisted on his way by sophomore paddles.
After arriving at the burning any freshman who shows reluctance about casting his cap into the flames will be gently urged till he gathers strength to tear himself from his faithful companion.
The great fire will be lit at chape time tomorrow.
TO RESIGN IF ANNUAL PLAN ISN'T CHANGED
Waddel, Editor-Elect Sees No Hope Under Present Arrangement
Alfred Waddel, editor-elect of next year's Jayhawker, will resign his position if the junior class does not attempt to put the publication of the annual on a stable basis.
Such action on the part of Waddel has been looked for and his statement to that effect is no surprise. "Yes, I intend to resign," said Waddel today, "if the class before the end of the present school year does not attempt to work up a plan to put the publication on a stable basis. To put out a book as we have now and not to come out loser is absolutely impossible.
"I merely a business proposition with me. I have been advised to resign by Allison, Hobeon, Coats, and Ross."

SECOND ORCHESTRA CONCERT
PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE
The annual University orchestra concert pleased a good size audience in Fraser last night. The program was well rendered.
The violin solo by Professor Morse held the audience throughout. Miss Etta Smith dressed in a beautiful pale green creation charmed her audience with her clear, sweet, voice
Perhaps the most appreciated selection rendered was the Dance of Death, written by Saint-Saens. In it the clock striking the midnight hous, the devil tuning his violin, the dance, the recitation, and the general scattering of the ghosts were all vividly presented.
Miss Elizabeth Brook, a fellow in American history in the Graduate School, has been awarded a scholarship at Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and will go there next year.

ELIZABETH BROOK GETS
BRYN MAWR FELLOWSHIP
JAYHAWKER SOCKS
SALE TOMORROW
How all the students can pay their way through college by accepting the Bargain Week offer of the Daily Kanman has been figured out by an fngiousious freshman. Students who are financially busted can make 525 per cent on the proposition according to his figures.
Here's the plan. A student who borrows two dollars to subscribe for the paper this week will probably pay 8 per cent for the money. For six months, until the time when all subscriptions not paid in advance are due, the interest will cost eight cents.
That's simple arithmetic.
Tomorrow morning the sale of 1913 Jayhawkers with premiums begins at Ober's and at Innes, Bulleene and Hackman's. With each Jayhawker sold Ober's will give two pair of silk socks and Innes' will give one pair of women's silk hose. "The merchants are showing that they are interested in whether or not the annual pays out this year," said Asher Hobson manager. "If the students will show equal interest and take advantage of this special offer the financial condition of the 1913 Jayhawker will be greatly improved."
ARE YOU BROKE? HERE'S A CHANCE TO GET RICH
The graduating class at Rosedale hospital has sent out its invitations for commencement, Thursday, May 29. The formal graduation will be with the regular K. U. commencement exercises.
ROSEDALE GRADUATES
ANNOUNCEMENT COMMENCEMENT
The graduates from Rosedale this year are: Mary Bates, of Little Rock, Ark; Delliah Pringle, of Lawrence, Kan; Lula Leonard, of Earlton, Kan; and Marion Carter, of Warsaw, Mo.
This eight cent invested, however, will enable the student to save fifty cents, and after the eight cents is saved, saving of forty-two cents remains.
Now everybody knows that a penny saved is a penny earned. This six per cent investment enables the student to earn forty-two cents, and nobody can deny that forty-two cents. is 525 per cent of six cents O. E. D.
Nothing difficult so far.

But Alumni May Listen to Class Will, Prophecy, History and Poem —Ball Game Later.
The final program for the exercises on Class Day, Tuesday June 10, of commencement week is not yet prepared, but plans indicate that it will be one of the banner days of the year. An unusual number of alumni have signified their intention of returning for the 1913 commencement, and the present senior class is determined to entertain them royally.
Class day starts with the senior breakfast picnic. Preparations are being made for a large number of guests.
After the breakfast comes the toast to the senior class. From this time until 10:30 the alumni part of the program will be given in Fraser hall.
At the conclusion of this part the annual pilgrimage around the campus will be made by the senior class, each building and historic spot will receive its calgary and farewell. A feature of this year's class day is that all speech is addressed to the waterbird and the master of ceremonies is to carry a watch and call time if the peorations last too long.
This done, the class and spectators will repair to the green in front of Fraser where the vari-colored totem pole will be the center of the stage, around which are read the class will, prophecy, history, and poem. The class song and lyrics also be given to the audience expressing that the first class to erect this pole, '86, will hold a rebuken-

GAME BACK TO K. C.
THIS FALL ---MOSSE
Kansas Head Coach Predicts Change and Announces Schedule Accordingly
PROSPECTS FOR TEAM BRIGHT
Needs Quarterback—Dalton Returns
—Assistant Job Unsettled
Great Backfield Doped
"The game never did pay at Columbia," said the coach, "and the great majority of students and alumni of both schools are heartily in favor of returning it to Kansas City.
That the Missouri-Kansas football game will be played in Kansas City again next fall, is the opinion expressed by Coach Arthur St. Leger Mose, in an interview given out today.
"When the game was taken from Kansas City the regents promised to pay the salaries of the coaches. They have never lived up to that agreement.
"Now that the new Board of Control has charge of University affairs, I cannot see how the old Board of Regents ruling, taking the game from Kansas City, can still be valid.
"Personally, I do not think there is any doubt that the Missouri-Kansas game next fall will be played in Kansas City.
"Prospects for next year's team are bright," says the coach. "With Stuewe and Detwiler backed up by Dalton who is back in school, the Jayhawkers should have a backfield that will go through anything.
"The only thing lacking is a quarterback. It is probable that neitheranny can finish not fully a drill will bummy school nor fully We may try Dalton out for this position."
The complete schedule as given out by Coach Mosse is as follows: Oct. 4—St. Marys at Lawrence. Oct. 11—Washington U. at Law-
"As to assistant football coach next year, we know nothing as yet. The whole matter is in the hands of the new Board of Control. We have recommended Mr. McCarty, but until the board gives its decision nothing definite is known."
Oct. 18—Drake at Lawrence.
Oct. 25—Aggies at Manhattan.
Nov. 1—Oklahoma at Norman.
Nov. 8—Washburn at Topeka.
Nov. 12—Nebraska at Lawrence.
Nov. 25—Missouri at Kansas City.
PRICE NAILS STORY
ABOUT MINNESOTA
In regard to an unfounded report that Prof. Richard R. Price, head of the University Extension department, had accepted an offer made by Minnesota University, Professor Price said this morning:
"I am going to Minnesota tomorrow to look over the field. I was not ready to come in and position over. There was nothing defired arrest to by either of us.
"The University of Minnesota has been making rapid strides under the leadership of the new president and the opening of the Extension department is one of the latest improvements. But there are two phases of the trip. I might not like the work in Minnesota, and it would have to be unusually attractive to take me from Kansas. Besides, the men there might not like me. They have considered me, it is true, but when I get there I may not be the man they want at all.
"When I came back from over the state trip last night I found out that it had been reported in several places that I was leaving. That such a report should be circulated makes me rather angry.
"I told no one, nor did my secretary, who took the message Tuesday. Whoever started the report jumped at conclusions. The result is that I am now supposed to be on my way to a new position.
"I am going to look the place over tomorrow, but it will have to be very good before I could think of leaving Kansas."
