Juniors' Final Action Will Be Taken In Meeting Tomorrow
Tomorrow
the juniors will meet in Snow hall at chapel time to take definite action on the publication - of next year's Jawhaker.

Paul Ross, chairman of the committee, said this morning: "The action the class takes tomorrow will be definite. This will be the last time the members of the class will have to discuss the question. They must either adopt the plan or turn it down. The committee has worked out a plan it thinks plausible and now it's up to the class."
Section 2. The Jayhawker shall be published by a board of twenty-one persons, known as the Jayhawker Board., Two of these members, an Editor-in-chief and a Manager shall be chosen by the electors of the Junior class, at a special election on the second Tuesday in February of each year.

LONG DISTANCE PLAN FOR PICKING THE GIRI
Fay Livengood, K. U. '09 Explains Engagement Customs In Armenia
NO NEED TO GET ACQUAINTED
Groom's Negotiations Closed With the Old Folks, and Bride Sits Mum—Formal Ceremony
Fay E. Livengood, a University graduate of the class of 1909 and situated in Harpoot, Turkey, has written interestingly to the Kansan of the Armenian marriage customs as relating to engagements.
In this country a man usually does not have a chance to speak with the lady who is to be his wife until after they are engaged, and in order to become engaged the couple must go through a ceremony performed by a priest or preacher. It is not even necessary that they see each other regularly; they usually do since a young man's parents do not usually negotiate for a wife for him until he has seen the girl and said that he is willing.
"This engagement of which I am going to tell you has nothing at all to do with the war. I am merely going to tell you how I saw an Armenian couple become engaged to be married.
In his letter, he says:
(Continued on page 4.)
No Cases
"It is considered rather immodest for a girl to love with the man she is, to marry until after the wedding. Before a young man is engaged all his relationship with unmarried women is very much restricted, but afterwards he may speak with whom he wishes, and is considered almost as safe as a married man."
No "Cases" There.
"Last week I received an invitation to be present at the engagement of one of our young lady teachers. It took place in the sitting room of the girls' school and the friends and relatives of both the young man and the girl. That morning the young man however was not present, so his brother took his place.
"Usually of course the young man is present, but if he cannot be there and if he has no brother or intimate friend to take his place, he sends his picture and it is placed in his chair. At the occasion of which I am speaking we were nearly all appointed time except the lady and several of the gentleman friends of the young man. There was much interchange of greetings and congratulations to the girl's mother.
Engagement Ceremony Elaborate "In the course of time, the young man's brother arrived bringing with him, some friends, the pastor and most important of all, the gifts which the man always sends to the present moment. A young man carried presents on a large covered tray which he placed in front of the chair which the pastor was to occupy.
"Then after a prayer, he further explored the gift package and found a diamond ring and ten Turkish pounds wrapped up in a pretty silk veil, and under all a fine assortment of fruit, nuts and candy for distribution among the guests. The money and the ring he placed upon the Bible and hymn book and said, "If this young lady is willing to become engaged to the young man who has sent these gifts she will come forward and take this Bible, song book, ring and money."
"After all had been served with tea, the girl was escorted in and took her place among some of her friends. Then the preacher opened the bundle before him, and disclosed to view, a hymn book and a Bible with beautiful binding and gold decorations, the two things which are essential
"He first took up the hymn book and announced a song. After that he went to Bethlehem, where a count of the betrothal of Isaac and Rebekah and gave a short talk.
"After considerable formal persuasion on the part of her friends and the young man's brother, she stood up, quickly took the gifts, placed them in the lap of a friend, and sitting down, covered her face
Gifts Not Forgotten
LAWRENCE HUSKIES GRABBED TRACK TITLE
Interscholastic Meet Wa
Reeled Off Saturday In
Spite Of Rain
FAST RECORDS IN DASHES
Pratt County Highs Led Class and Onaga Took Honors of
Class C.
On the worst field that a track meet has ever been contested on in Lawrence, the tenth annual Kansas Interscholastic track and field meet was fought on Saturday afternoon on McCook.
Before the start at 2:30, a steady drizzle of rain started and increased later in the afternoon to a terrific downpour, which interrupted the day's rain as a cinder covered the cinder track with two inches of mud and water.
All of the records of the scorer and his assistants were so drenched that it was difficult to make out the results. The greater part of the official timers stood in the grandstand and announced results from there.
Considering the unfavorable conditions some splendid records were set up in the meet. In one heat of the 50 yard dash, Russell Hardy, Catholic high school, Kansas City, Kansas, tied the state intercollsal record of 5 3-5 seconds which he won against an opponent heat of the 100 yard dash, Sol Butler, the negro off the Hutchinson reeled off the distance in 10 4-5.
Lawrence won the championship of the Class A schools with a grand total of 67 points. Hutchinson was one of two players who took 21 points.
Pratt county high school took first in Class B, 40 and 5-6 points. Pearson did the greater part of the scoring for this school, and at the end of the year the greatest number of individual points in the whole meet, 27-1-2.
Onga took first honors in the Class C contest, annexing 37 tallies. Several stars tied for the individual cup in this division, all scoring 19
The feature races of the meet were the 50 yard dash, the 100 yard, and the Clace half-mile, each scored in accordance with 2122. He easily held his field 25 yards.

LOADED STREET CAR RAN AWAY AND UPSET
Many K. U. People Sustained Painful Injuries In Saturday's Accident
At 9:25 o'clock Saturday night a street car traveling down the south side of Mt. Oread, filled with 64 people returning from the Santa Fe trail, the closing feature of the Exposition, escaped from the control of the motorman, D. W. Joyce, just east of Fowler shop and raced down the incline through the darkness at a terrific rate of speed until it reached Louisiana street, where it left the track and overturned.
W. A. Simpson, a traveling salesman from Kansas City, suffered a broken leg and minor injuries, Morris Devlin, a janitor in Spooner library, received internal injuries the extent of which cannot be determined. He is incapacitated for work today.
There were many minor injuries. The cause for the accident was primarily the fact that the trolley left the wire, putting the car in darkness, and hindering the motorman in his control of it. The motorma set the brake, but the wheels of the car slid the track. The car plunged down through the darkness at speed rapidly increasing. The passengers realized that the motorman had lost control, but could do nothing.
Miss Elsie Fleeson, a senior in the College, was cut over the eye with glass from a broken window, and the tendon on one wrist severed. A piece of glass about an inch and a half in length entered the neck of Mrs. McNeal, a visitor from Kansas City, a little above the first vertebra. Miss Elsie Mackie was severely cut about the neck and shoulders.
The house of Prof. A. T. Walker,
just north of the track, was turned into an emergency hospital. Medical aid was summoned at once, and means for carrying home the injured were provided. The 64 occupants of the ear, such as were left in, crawled out through the window.
Allen Wilbur and Morris Devil, were pinned under this car, and it was some time before they could be liberated. Wilbur was unconscious, but was hurt only slightly. Devil lared worse, but no bones were broken. The escape of both from death was marvelous, probably because the ground upon which they lay was soft and muddy.
Many of the passengers were women. Many of everyone received same salary.
A street car overturned in practically the same place a year ago, following the football game with Oklahoma.
K. U.-BETHANY
GAME POSTPONED The baseball game between K. U. and Bethany College at Lindsborg, scheduled for this afternoon, has accounted on account of the rain. Bishop had been slated to pitch for the locals. No date has been set for playing off the postponed games.
MULTITUDE OF 5000 SAW THE EXPOSITION
University's Big Show A Huge Success In Attracting Visitors
GOV. HODGES WAS PLEASED
Rain Ruined the May Fete, and Continued Showers Prevent Repetition of Spring Pageant
Rain and wind could not keep the first K. U. exhibition from being a wonderful success.
"Ive only five minutes," protested the governor. He was in a terrible hurry.
Fully 5,000 people visited Mt. Oread May 2 and 3. The majority of the visitors were like Governor Hodges. The governor arrived at 6:10 Friday evening and was urged to make a look at the Gym. displays.
In he went.
He didn't come out for half an hour.
Without exception the displays were well attended and surprised even the students on the hill.
"The fact that students saw what other students on the hill are doing ranks next to our showing the people of the state what we have here," is one of Chancellor Strong's heartfelt responses on the success of the Exposition.
The big show was practically self-supporting. The concessions hardly paid out, owing to bad weather, but the Pike made money, which will be applied to general expenses, and the fact that little if any of the displays need be destroyed reduces cost.
MAY FETE DROWNED UNDER HEAVY SHOWERS
Esther Evans Crowned Queen In Gym—No Repetition Today
On account of the heavy rain storm, Saturday, the May Fete was held in the Gym instead of upon the green in front of Fraser hall.
More than 4,000 tickets were sold for the performance but less than 2,000 could be admitted to the performances. Arrangements were made at once to repeat the Fete on Monday afternoon for the benefit of those who were unable to get seats in the gymnasium, but on account of continued rain were finally called off today.
Secret Sure Dead
The climax of the festivities was the crowning of Miss Evan Evans as Queen of the May. Since the casting of the ballots to choose the fairest of the fair of the senior girls April 16, all efforts to discover the identity of the Queen failed. Even the probability curve, the most recent discovery in science at the University, wouldn't work. Up to a clock the queen's identity was still to be the public. At this hour she led the pageant through the crowded Gym to the platform where the crown, a wreath of pink roses, was placed on her head by little Miss Skilton.
The queen's gown was of pale green, with a robe of the same color bordered in pink. Two heralds announced her approach. The little crown bearer walked before the queen with the crown, while a wee page, all in white, carried the royal train.
After the coronation the 16 attendants danced the wreath dance between them the hour.
Owing to the inconvenience and limited time, only part of the dances could be given. One May pole dance, the minuet, and the gypsy dance were given. The old English play Robin Hood, Pyramis and Thisbe and "Spreading the News" were given.
Y. W. C. A. Takes in $600.
Over $600 was collected by the
Y. W. C. A. from the May Fete
alone. The expenses will amount to
about $125 leaving nearly $500 to be
