COMMITTEE BIFFS SENIOR MEMORIAL
NUMBER 154.
Professor Griffith Wants a More Harmonious Pillar On Oread
THE PLAN DOES NOT SUIT HIM
Favors Smaller and More Expensive Emblem—Has a Plan of His Own—Compromise?
Work on the senior memoria arches has been stopped by the University committee on grounds.
Professor Griffith, as chairman of the committee, insists that with the memorial occupying the most prominent place on the campus, the senior class is not planning the erection of a stable memorial, and it will be harmonious to the memorials that will be erected by future classes.
The class proposes to erect two pillars. The University committee believes that but one should be erected and that it should cost the same amount the seniors are planning to use on the two. As a result we work on a working on a compromise by which it hopes to continue, with its work,
The two committees will erect dummies of each of the proposed memorials today on Oread avenue in the exact places where the permanent arches will stand. All the details of each plan will be carefully carried out in the hope that the concrete arch will have the greater understanding of the difficulty with which the committee is confronted.
In all probability a meeting of the senior class will soon be called to determine the outcome of the controversy.
RAIN IS HARD ON TENNIS TOURNAMENT
Free-For-All Will Go On However, As Soon As
Possible
If the rain continues the conference tournament will have to be called off, and the free-for-all will be postponed indefinitely. It is thought, however, that the ground will dry up by Saturday at least, and that with continued care, the northern courts may be used Thursday and Friday. The court is closed as soon as the rain finally stops, and may be in good condition by tomorrow. It all depends upon Jupiter Pluvius.
The five new courts will be finished as soon as possible, by the end of this week at least, and with them in good shape it should not take long to run off the big tournament. After the first-round matches have all been played most of the poorer contestants will be eliminated and good tennis will prevail in the contests till the end. Practically all of the opposing contestants have set up a definite time for playing their matches and tournament matches will have the privilege of the court over all but Varsity men at every time.
Manager Hamilton has ordered the cup to be given as a trophy to the singles championship. It will probably be placed in the trophy room as soon as it arrives. He has assured the contestants that it will be a good one, and there will probably be the strongest of rivalry for it. It goes to the winner for full possession, and a new cup will be awarded for the championship every year.

KANSANS SHOW IN K. U. ART EXHIBIT
Five Sunflower Artists Have Pictures In Administration Building Display
Canvases by five Kansas artists are shown. Perhaps the best-known of the artists is Henry Salem Hubbell, who was born in Paola some forty years ago and attended the Lawrence public schools. His picture, "By the Fireside," valued at $2,000, which is in the collection, is the same one that when displayed in the Paris Salon recently caused Max Nordan, the famous Belgian poet, to compliment his work highly.
That the state of Kansas is wellrepresented in the field of art is shown by the collection of pictures not being in the museum's floor of the Administration building.
"By the Fireside" shows two young women engaged in intimate conversation. It is almost life-size, and is one of the most valuable pictures in the collection. "The figures are painted with the thoroughly intelligent grasp of a Holman Hunt," says Prof. W. A. Griffith, of the department of drawing and painting, "combined with the colors in 'Roll,' and the colors are brought together with the fine delicate harmony seldom found in the artists of today."
Professor Griffith has on display several scenes of his own, one of the old Dutch windmill that used to stand near Lawrence. H. B. Poore, of Bonner Springs, Roland Thomas, from near Kansas City and George Stone, of Topeka, are the other Kansas artists who have pictures on display.
Several of the artists who had pictures in the last exhibition are represented; Eaten, Crane, Alexander and Rider. These men are realists, and these images were drawn by a school, whose activities form one of the new movements in American art.
There are no cubist pictures, or any from the new freak schools, but "The Little Red Girl," by Robert Henri, of New York, is highly impressionistic, and more closely approximates the new movement than anything else in the collection. It is valued at $2,000. Professor Gritchfield, the artist has been told to catch the spirit." The most valuable picture in the exhibition is the portrait "Sylvia," by John Alexander, of New York. It is valued at $2,500.
Skull and K gives an informal smoker for Dean C. H. Johnston of the School of Education at the Phi Psi house tonight.
The 41 pictures are estimated he to worth more than $50,000. No admission is charged to the gallery, which is open every day from 9 to 12, and 1:30 to 5. The display will continue from now until a week into the summer session. This is the collection that was shown at Topeka, Emporia, Ottawa, Wichita, Wichita and I Kansas City direction of the Extension department. It was assembled by the Indiana Art Association for a year, and circulated in Hoosierism for six months. Kansas secured it for the remainder of the year.

O ENLARGE MEDIC DEPARTMENT WORK
Two More Courses and A Associate Professor Coming—Sudler Stays
The rumor that Dr. M. T. Sudler would accept a position in the East next year stands without foundation.

COOLEYS AND OREADS IN FINAL SHOUTING
The Phi Psi telephone rang and Sam Bierer answered the phone, a voice announced that it was Sheriff Cummings and that a part of the silver had been found. He said that a Kansas City Hotel was making inquiry about a certain piece of silver and that some of the members should hurry down to police headquarters.
Oratory Championship Of University to Be Decided Tomorrow Bighted
The details were give to the police and the search for the culprits was begun. The first clew to enter the silver was trained last night.
A problem, whose solution is worthy of a Detective Burns or a Sherlock Holmes, has been presented to the students. The plot started last Saturday night when the Pki Kappa Pfri fraternity was burglarized to the extent of $300 worth of stolen books on the table linen and steins. The theft was committed while the men were attending a dance at Ecke's hall.
FAR BE IT FROM ME,
WATSON, FAR BE IT FROM-
"Ive got your long distance call now, Mr. Blank" Central said. When it was explained that it was the Phi Psi house and not the Blank house she apologized and broke the connection.
Bierer hung up the receiver and the bell rang again.
Tomorrow night at eight o'clock in the lecture room of Green hall the Cooley club will meet the winners of that debate, the Oreads, to determine the championship of the University.
The affirmative of the question,
"Resolved: That, the United States
shoud establish a central bank," will be
upheld for the Oreds by Hake,
Lattimer and Moody; the negative
will be upheld by Haxman,
Campbell and Coleman.
On account of this debate the meeting of the K. U. Debating Society scheduled for tomorrow might take a sample time to let all members attend.
QUILL STAFF TO
RUN OREAD MAGAZINE
At a meeting of the Quill Club held
a yesterday afternoon, nominations were
made.
The management of the Oread Magazine for next year was taken up and it was decided to leave this entitley to the new staff.

JAYHAWKER HOSIERY

Seven scholarships, nearly $850, are to be awarded to the women students of the University this Spring.
$850 IN SCHOLARSHIPS
COMING THIS SPRING
Miss Berenice Walker of Kansas City, who has been visiting at the Theta house, has returned to her home.
Dr. Ida H. Hyde ,professor o physiology gave the first of a series of lectures to her physiology classes this afternoon from 1:30 to 3:30 and 3:30 to 5:30.
Detective Bierer immediately calley the Blank house and asked if the sherriff was there. He was not. Bierer then asked how much of the firemen had been the first to house and explained that Cammings would be out for it.
"There may be some here, I don't
know, but I answer, evidently
from a friend."
The real problem appeared when every bit of the silver, table linen and every article which had been taken was found on the Sigma Kappa front porch this morning.
Sigma Kappa is a sorority.
The Sigma Kappas notified the Phi Pais and the silver was taken home.
The conclusions so far reached are:
The Sigma Kappas had the goods but the Blanks did the mysterious telephoning. Where does the guilt lie? Shall the accusing finger be at he Blanke? The Sigma Kappas or at he Blanke?
Subscribed and sworn to this the 21st day of May, A. D., 1913. Phi Kappa Psi.
It is a case of the "Lady or the
Titian," Jargon, the "Goddor or the Fear Man."

FRESHMAN CAPS OFF AFTER CHAPEL FRIDAY
St. Council Gets Generous- Favors a Cap-Burning Day
Freshman caps must be worn until Friday at chanel.
"Mr. President," said a member of the Student Council last night at the regular meeting, "I move that on the third Friday of May freshman caps be burned in a bonfire in front of Fraser hall, said demonstration to take place after chapel on the date named, and that thereafter no freshman be permitted to be paddled."
Discussion.
Motion seconded Motion carried
This resolution follows a custom in several eastern schools where the burning of freshman caps by the freshmen is one of the big celebrations of the year. Monster rallies are held, the band plays, and after marching through the streets the first-year men start a snake dance around the fire and throw the diminutive headgear into the flames.
Sophomores are allowed to assist in the burning of said caps if freshmen seem sorry to see the precious inkspots go.
The bay rum bottle incident was taken up but after a half hour's discussion no strict measures were taken beyond the possibility of a reprimand from the president, if the president should deem it necessary. The sentiment is that it punish the order of the bottle because of the excitement of the scrap brought on by the freshmen themselves.
SWAT THE DANDELIONS BY BURNING THEM UP
Dig 'Em Up By the Roots and "Incinerate" Says
Stevens
How can you kill off these bothersome yellow-headed dandelions all over the campus?
University authorities are agreed that there is but one efficient way to get rid of that noxious weed. Many years ago a farmer in the ruined by allowing the weed to spread.
"The one way to get rid of the dandelion," said Professor Stevens of the Botany Department this morning, "is to dig up the plant by the root and then burn the plant. If the plant is dug up it will germinate and new plants will grow up. It is necessary to burn the plants to avoid this."
This method is used for clearing the campus of dandelions, and the very few of the weeds on the hill show the success of this way of eradicating the pest.
E. F. Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said this morning: "The only method for exterminating dandens which I have found to be at all satisfactory is to dig the plant up by the root and then to burn them. I have tried acids and salts, but we have not succeeded, saying, but these methods are not satisfactory. Neither is it satisfactory to dig up the plants unless they are burned.
"Our campus is about as free from dandelions as any other similar plot of ground in the state. At the state house the weed has become a pest, and almost covers the entire capitol grounds. It has been suggested there that the dandelion be made the state flower rather than the sunflower. We have managed to keep the campus almost free from the weed."
The Sphinx society, a freshman organization, will give a dance Saturday evening at Ecke's.
