TIGER-JAYHAWK TRACK MEET ON TOMORROW
14
An All-Victorious Year Over Missouri To Be Decided On McCook
DOPE FAVORS TIGERS—PUTNAM
But Kansas Has Improved Over Convention Hall Strength, and a Crowd of Rooters ___
Coach Hamilton, when interviewed this morning said, "54½ to 54¾. We won't be able to determine till the finish of the relay tomorrow who is to win this meet.
"Everything depends on the support given the team by the students. If the cheer rally announced for this morning has much effect, if the weather is Tair, and if 2,000 students attend, Karen will be very bright. Support from the grandstand counts a good deal in an event of this kind."
The following are the complete entries of both schools for each event. But two men will be allowed to contest.

Dope on a track meet is an unatable thing. But expert opinion as to probabilities is valuable and Prof. George Putnam is an expert. In talking about tomorrow's meet he says:
"If Kansas duplicates her performance in the indoor meet, which would be remarkable, there is still the discus with eight points that will probably go to Missouri. Kansas did it in every tournament that her athletes won in Convention Hall still leaves room for a large doubt."
"But I have seen a good many track meets and never saw one in which either team lived up to its promises. As to Missouri's star men—well, there have been several stars from Missouri that came to Kansas and didn't get what they came after. (Applause)."
"I have compared the two teams and I must say the dope favors Missouri. If their older and experienced team is discounted by its defeat in the Convention hall meet there is a particular that should not be overlooked.

"Everybody should go out and help the team. The meet is going to be very close, and support counts."
LITTLE HOPE OF 1913 ANNUAL PAYING OUT
M. U. Will Compete With Jayhawkers in Track Meet at Lawrence

Allison And Hobson Announce Impending Deficit And Are Prepared
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. MAY 16. 1913.
PAY LOSS FROM OWN POCKETS
Professor Neal Says Present Plan is Weak and Not a Good Business Proposition.
"We have not only given up the idea of making our salaries; we hardy expect to clear expenses on the Jayhawker," said R. G. Allison, editor, today. "All the annuals we sell from now on will only make the deficit less."
"Six hundred Jayhawkers have to be sold, the seniors are all supplied, the Exposition helped some, and we still lack the necessary amount. It looks as if Hobson and I are going to lose 'cold cash' that has to come out of our own pockets unless something in the nature of a miracle appears."
"I would not advise any one to attempt to publish an annual unless under a new plan of publication and with the responsibility shifted," is Asher Hobson's notion of it. "The idea of making any salary is absurd to merely make expenses is what we are up against now."
This is what the editor and manager of the 1913 annual think about the old plan of publishing the Jayhawker.
Hobson, who contemplated attending Cornell next year, will not be able to go on account of the deficit. A personal canvass to sell more annuals will be launched in the near future and more books, it is hoped, will be disposed of in this way.
According to "Doc." Coats, former president of the Student Council, the plan ought to be recaptured and presented to the class again.
Professor Neal of the department of journalism, said this morning in regard to the annual. "Publishing such a book as we now have, and trying to make it pay, is absolutely useless. In the first place we could publish the same book for about $450, less than the price paid to the people who did publish it, but the matter to look at is I'd try setting up a account for publication on our dreams and maybe the students would appreciate it. Another plan that seems plausible to me to have one pay in advance subscription week and have only the number of annuals printed that are subscribed for. In that way no money could be lost, at least."
$65 ON "TOMMY'S"
Work is progressing rapidly in the different schools for the "Tommy Johnson Memorial Picture" fund and there seems little doubt that the required sum will be obtained easily. About $65 has been collected already. A meeting of the collecting committee will be called some time later.

65 ENTER SINGLES IN FREE-FOR-ALL TENNIS
Doubles Eliminated Because Of Short Space And Time —Start Monday
Sixty-five entries for the singles in the free-for-all tennis tournament, received up to late last night, caused Manager Hamilton to abandon his plans for opening the tournament to doubles candidates also. With so large a number of matches lost off, the manager decided that there would not be enough courts or sufficient time to play off the doubles matches.

KANSAN BARGAIN WEEK STARTS NEXT MONDAY
Subscriptions at Old Price
May 19 - 24 Only—
$2.50 Next Year
SUMMER KANSAN INCLUDEI
Bi-Weekly. Printing Commencement News, Sent Free With All Subscriptions at Low Price
Next week is bargain week for the Daily Kansan. Beginning Monday morning and until Saturday evening, May 24, subscriptions will be accepted at the old rate, $2.00 for next year's paper. Remittances must accompany the subscription, however.
The raise in the price of the Daily Kansan is made necessary by the increased cost in publishing the paper and because the price was, never in any just proportion to the amount of reading matter which is printed. When the old tri-weekly was made a daily last year the students who backed the change endeavored to give the readers at the University the best college paper in America. They have succeeded in one respect at least, because the Daily Kansan now gives its readers more for the money than any other college daily. The Cornell Daily Sun is the closest rival of this paper in the amount of news matter printed.
The subscription price, which will be advanced to $2.50 after May 24 is now in the very lowest rank of college dailies. Even at the $2.50 rate only eight of the twenty-four college dailies will be low or lower. Many of the papers that are published at the same price do not print more than half the news which the Daily Kansan uses. The Daily Newbrank, for instance, is printed in column four with three pages well filled with advertising, yet the subscription price is the same as that of the Daily Kansan.
With every subscription that is taken next week, the Summer Session Kansan will be given free of charge. This paper prints all the news of the short session, as well as much matter that is of interest to all students and members of the faculty. To submit questions, particularly in the Summer Session Kansan should be valuable because it covers the commencement week program completely. It can be sent by mail to any address.

STUDENT SPEAKERS
HAND OUT BOUQUETS
Amateur Orators From Different Schools In Chapel This Morning
FACULTY RUNS ST. COUNCIL?
Forpid Alumni, Freshman Paddling,
Track Pep and New Presidents
Amear
Ten student speakers, including Leslie Dodd, new president of the Men's Student Council, and Miss Maude Lourey, president of the W. S. G. A., Uncle Jimmy Green, and Coach Mosse entertained a large chapel-full this morning at the annual Students' Day exercises.
During the course of the talks, which were restricted to seven minutes, everything from the torpidity of the alumni and the rumored subservience of the Men's Student Council that Jesse R. Derby led the process to kiss the Blarney stone on St. Patrick's day were aired.
Chancellor Strong turned the meeting over to Charles Coats, retiring president of the Men's Student Council, who made a short plea for democracy and then introduced the Chair of the Student Council, Leslie Dodd.
Maude Lourey, the new president of the WELCOME organization, will work with the student Council.
Dodd was received with great applause. He spoke of the purposes of the organization and of the plans for a Student Union.
Glen Wisdom, president of the Law School, made an excellent talk in which he deplored the lack of student government, declaring that the "Student Council is simply a tool in the hands of the faculty."
Russell Bodman spoke next for the Engineering School. He urged more school spirit in all school activities. "We would have a mighty hard time to get us to the rally," he told Dally Kansan to give us our dance dope every night," he remarked.
The Victor Quartet was the sixth number on the program, and was
Claude Wandel, for the Pharmics, made a plea to the majority of the profs to "come off their roost:" in other words, to be less distant and to take more personal interest in the students.
The speech de luxe of the morning was that of Allen Wilber for the College, concerning the indifference of the alumni to their alma mater.
Abe Goldman, of the Medics spoke of the benefits of the recent K. U. Exposition and advocated the election now of a delegate from each school to gather ideas for the next miniature world's fair.
"Whispy") *Crookham* of the Graduate school told of the graduates, "abridged editions of the facets of life," and pledged their allegiance to K. U.
"Chuck" Dolde, our peerlees cheer leader then took hold of the meeting with a peppery "O me, Oh my" and the track rally was on.
Arthur St. Leger Mosee, football coach, prophess a victory for Kansas tomorrow in the track meet with Missouri. Of the 109 points, he had it figured out that we would capture 55 and leave Missouri 54.
The fitting finale for the two hours of oratory was our own, uncle Jimmy, the most peppery man on the job. He was with authority on "Pep." Said he:
"Pep is simply the physical manifestation of college spirit. I thought that all our pep was gone until I heard that the freshmen had tangled with the sophomores the other night.
"I believe in class scraps. There is nothing which brings classes together like class scraps. I advocate, however, that the scraps be conducted in a proper manner. Some use a bay rum bottle on the head used a bay rum bottle on the other night. The Student Council should give this young man such discipline that he will always remember that bay rum bottles are made to hold bay rum and not to be used upon the heads of freshmen."
Miss Margaret Hughes and Miss Freda Richter, of Kansas City, Kansas, are visiting Davida Sawtell, a freshman in Fine Arts.
