VOLUME X.
NUMBER 137.
LOOKS LIKE A BIG TIME FOR EXPOSITION
Weather Promising, Work Progressing, Arrangements Nearly Completed
ELECTRIC SIGN UP TODAY
To Decorate Stand Tower—Weede
Too Busy To Go To Meals—
Monster Crowd Expected
The greatest event in the history of the University of Kansas will receive its official start Friday morning, when Governor Hodges presses the button which unrolls the announcing curtain.
The Exposition is a stupendous undertaking, but from all present indications will be carried out to a successful finish. The student body, the faculty, the town, the state, the railroads, and even men from outside the state are all joining together to swell the list of supporters. The weather man predicts two perfect spring days.
Many prominent men and women of Kansas and adjoining states will attend. The new Board of Administration expects to spend some time loking over the school at that time. The Governor will probably be here on the second day. With the decorations which will adorn the campus and town, the spectacle will surpass anything ever seen before in Douglass-County.
The great sign to adorn the highest point of Fraser hall goes up today. The totem pole is already welcoming the visitors to the gate. The decorations which will cover the water tower are to be put on before Friday. Over a thousand people are overseeing a lavish show for the great show. The railroads have been advertising for weeks over the state.
The Chancellor is jubilant over the prospects for a successful Exposition. This is the first time anything on such a large scale has been attempted here, and for a time there was a little doubt as to whether it could be carried out as planned. But the prospects are surpassing the highest expectations. Nothing has gone wrong.
"Proxy" Weede, president of the K. U. Exposition, is touching the high places only, so greatly is his time taken up with the mass of details surrounding the superintending of the main events. He says that further room may be needed for the out of town visitors, and wants a list of all places where guests can be received.
DAVIS' BOOK OU'
"The Civil War and Reconstruction Days in Florida" Now Ready
Prof. W. W. Davis of the department of history has just received the first copies of his book on "The Civil War and Reconstruction Days in Florida," published by Longmans, Green and Co. The work is volume fifty-three of a series of studies in history, economics, and public law, published by Columbia University, New York.
The work was begun when Professor Davis was in Columbia University and has been completed during the last two years. The book, which is a volume of over 700 pages, is even more comprehensive than its title indicates, being practically a review of the great movement in American history during the sixties and seventies, with Florida as the geographical center from which much of the material has been drawn.
In developing his subject Professor Davis has divided the work into four parts: Part I, Florida in antebellum days, with a complete survey of geographical, economic, social, and political conditions of the period; Part II, the Civil war, in which the campaigns and their effect on the country are traced; Part III, the period of political reconstruction; Part IV. Florida under Republican rule.

Director Hubach Appoints Pilots Of 1913-14 University Songbirds
Prof. C. E. Hubach, the director of the Men's Glee club, announced this morning the appointment of Clarence Sowers as manager and Lawrence Morrisr as assistant manager and treasurer of the club for 1913-14.
Sowers and Morris have been the leading men of the club this year especially in comedy work. Sowers was a member of the club last year which made the coast trip, while Morris is a new man this year. Both men are middle laws.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 29, 1013.
The appointment of these men by the director is part of an effort to give the club more efficient management by lightening the managerial duties which have heretofore been pledged to give to the club a trip lasting from five to ten days some time during the coming year.
"Chico" Ben Davis, comedian, knocked his other knee-cap out of place last week in an inter-frat game and for a time thought he had the other leg out of joint like his last fall's injury.
BASEBALL COMEDIAN NOW

Prior to this year the manager has been elected by the club.
In running for a fly ball he collided with another runner and was dumped. The injury is not considered serious except for the chances of its giving him water on the knee. Last night he was able to play slightly.

TURN ELECTION, INTO A SOCIAL RECEPTION
W. S. G.A. "Suff-Coed” Con-
V. V. G. A. Sun-Cooed
test For Honors Resembled Afternoon Tea
The "suf co-ed" election at the Museum today to choose the officers of the Women's Student Government Association for 1913-1914 was one of the most exciting elections of the year. By 12 o'clock 350 votes had been cast.
No election this year has found the girls so eager to exercise their right of suffrage as they were this summer. But when the vote was pulled from 10 to 10:30.
The scene at the polls was very similar to that at an afternoon reception.
During chapel time at least 100 girls were grouped around the judge's desk and as many more on the stairs of the Museum.
Two amendments to the constitution are also being voted on.
Professor In Sociology Shows Rational Reason For Golden Rule
SHOULDN'T HAVE RACE PREJUDICE--HELLEBERG
All men are on the same general plane of development, and there is little intellectual difference between the various races. Why, then, should we be prejudiced against a race? We shouldn't.
This was the argument advanced by Professor Helleberg of the sociology department in a speech in chapel this morning, in which he remarked:
EBERLE-POWERS WEDDING
TAKES PLACE TONIGHT
"In the early times there arose two standards of conduct; to those inside the group there was justice and fair dealing, to those outside there was a hostile, unfair attitude. "The inner standard of justice should be applied to every member of any race. Regardless of race, the fundamental social law is, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'"
The wedding of Miss Mona Eberle to Mr. John Powers takes place tomorrow evening at 6 o'clock at the home of Miss. Eberle's parents, 714 Ohio.
Miss Eberle is a graduate of the Fine Arts school, '12, while Mr. Powers graduated from the Law school in '11 and is at present in business in Seattle, Washington. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Powers will leave for Seattle.
Mr. Powers is a K football man and managed the Glee club in 1910-11. He is a member of Phi Delta Theta.
Students of the physiology I class have an appointment with the city water works for a few hours Thursday afternoon. This visit is to result in a theme or paper of at least two hundred and fifty words and will take the place of the regular laboratory exercise for the day.

A CANNON CHOPPED OLD TOTEM IN TWO
Wierd Relic In Front Of Museum Erected First In Ninety-Three
Twenty years ago today the seniors erected a Totem Pole on the Campus. Last night the seniors did the same stunt in front of the Museum. But what makes is the incident more interesting is the fact that it is the same Totem Pole erected in both cases.
"The seniors planted it twenty years ago," said George O. Foster this morning, "and as a monument on the campus it remained for several years. In 1895, however, some students in the wee sa* hours lugged a cannon up the slopes of Mt. Oread and 'Ker Boom', they shot the thing down, cutting it in two."
Where the cannon ball hit after passing through the Totem Pole Registrar Foster failed to say.
The pole was put up at this time on account of the University Exposition. The '93 stands for the class that first erected it and the '13 for this year's class.
290 SENIORS NOW READY TO GRADUATE
Two hundred and ninety seniors of the class of 1913 have safely passed the registrar's red pen desk and are now in line for a sheepskin and a cap and gown before getting out. If that the final roll will probably total as much as last year's class, something over 400.
100 More And Then Some Expected In Class Of
Of the 290 safe ones, the classification is as follows: A. B., 192; M. B.; a. M. B., 27; B. S., 27; LL. B., 30; Mus. B., 8; Ph. C., 8.

ANOTHER CHANCE TO ANCHOR ANNUAL MAY 6
Hazen Calls Juniors Together For 2nd Consideration of Jayhawker
PLAN TO BE FULLY EXPLAIND
Ross Gives Budget of 1913 Book and Shows How New Plan Would Relieve Manager
A meeting of the junior class will be held in Snow hall tuesday, May 7 to decide definitely upon the plan for publication of the 1914 Jayhawker.
Chairman Ross of the committee appointed by President Dan Hazen, will have some leaflets printed before the meeting. These will be distributed so that each junior can access itself with facts of the publication.
"Last year the deficit in the Jayhawk fund amounted to almost $1,000. With the aid of the Exposition the 1913 Jayhawk may be made to pay out this year. In order to put out a bill for the funds the agency will have to adopt one of the two following plans," says Ross.
"Under the first system, like the one used in 1911, the publication will be turned over to some private individual to manage at his own risk. Under this system the class will secure a book similar to the one of which is which is considered more than the Jayhawkers of 1912 and 1913.
"Under the second plan the class will be required to guarantee the assets of the Jayhawker.
"The cost of publication of the
1913 annual is as follows :
"First 1000 annuals, $5,000.
"Extra 500 annuals, $750.
"Salaries of editor and manager,
0"
"Total. $6,050.
"This amount could be covered by the class by the following plan:
"Advertising, $800.
Organizations, $750.
"300 Seniors at $7,000, $2,450.
"1000 annuals (500 free to seniors and advertisers), $2,000.
"Total, $6,050.
"Organizations, $7.50."
"It's up to the class and the action it takes will be definite. But when it chooses it should choose the latter of the two plans above, is the opinion of the committee."
