GOVERNOR'S FINGER TO OPEN EXPOSITION
NUMBER 136
Flash Over Special Wire From Topeka Will Release Inscription Curtain
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 28, 1913.
ELECTRICALS DO THE WIRING
Engineering Students Will Mak Necessary Preparations and Guarantee No Hitches
An electrical engineer is in charge of the affair so it is practically assured that no short circuit or faulty mechanism will mar the event. A special wire has been leased from Topeka at eight o'clock. The governor will attend the Exposition in person later.
When Governor Hodges presses the button under his desk at 8 o'clock next Friday morning the juice will spin over the wires from Topeka to Lawrence and release a curtain thirty-five feet long which will unroll down the north side of Fraser hall and remain until the close of the Exposition.
Upon the curtain will stand forth the inscription, "First Biennial K. U. Exposition" in letters three feet long.
BIG ELECTRIC SIGN FOR K. U. EXPOSITION
Engineers Construct Gigantic Display-BigSearch-Light On Fraser
EXPOSITION
The sign is the work of the Electrical Engineers and measures 20 by 6 feet, giving a surface resistance to the wind of 20 square feet.
One hundred and fifteen feet above the ground on the highest tower of Fraser hall will be seen a sign bearing these letters, arranged for effective display both night and day, all during the Exposition.
Another part of the illumination will be furnished by a monster searchlight to be installed by the electricals. The searchlight is ery high powered and is said to throw a beam of light for twenty-five miles.
In the construction of the letters 114 32-candle-power lights will be used, necessitating ten horse power to keep it shining with maximum of brilliance. The sign will be visible for miles and will be an unusual feature.
It will be mounted on a revolving platform and the surrounding country will be treated to a light bath from the top of Fraser hall.

COMBINED CONCERT ENDS MUSIC FESTIVAL
Dean Skilton Regrets That Students Did Not Turn Out Better
HAROLD HENRY MAKES A HIT
Orchestra And Vocalists Enthusiastically Received in Program of Beethoven And "Faust"
A combined concert by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and a quartet of soloists closed the annual Music Festival Friday evening. The finished work of the orchestra was accorded an appreciative reception by a monster audience. But the audience was not altogether representative of K. U.
"My only regret over the festival," said Dean Skilton, at the end of the program, "is that so few student comparatively, took advantage of this occasion to hear such music. A very large proportion of our audiences came from the townpeople, and students were wanting. It is unfortunate that the students did not turn out better."
The big orchestra played with rare precision and feeling. The opening number from Beethoven, rendered in parts, was most effective. This was a pastoral symphony in which the violins took the lead.
Harold Henry, the K. U. pianist, who appeared at the Friday afternoon concert, scored a great triumph with his rendition of MacDowell's concert.
The feature of the first part of the program, however, was the violinello solo by Cornelius Van Vliet, who came from Munich recently to join the orchestra. He produces a rare tone from his instrument. His rendition of the "Fastaiise," his canon melioria," by cervhe is so heartily received that he returned and played an encore, the "Buceuse," which to some was' more pleasing than his more pretentious number.
In the second part Mary Ann Kaufman, soprano, Barbara Wait, contratto, Joseph Schenck, tenor, and Arthur Middleton, harpite, sang to full orchestral accompaniment. The garden scene was from Act V of the same composition were the major renditions.
W. S. G. A. POLITICIANS
READY FOR CAMPAIGN
Mr. Middleton's rich baritone voice, and his pleasing stage presence, made him the apparent favorite.
The first horn from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York has been secured for next year's orchestra, according to the manager.
Petitions were in Friday for the following candidates: For president Marie Sealy and Maude Laurey; for vice-president from the College, Helen Keith; for secretary, Agnes Engle and Vena Spots; for treasurer, Genevieve Herrick and Marian Manley; and for vice-president from the School of Fine Arts, Estelle Strahm and Helen Woolsey.
Candidates for the W. S. G. A.election to be held tomorrow, have narrowed down to two candidates for each office, except that of vice-president from the College.
Hereafter the vice-president will be elected by all the schools. At present the Graduate School, having less than 50 girls enrolled, has no representation.
May Fete Tickets Out
Tickets for the May Fete, 25 cents, please, went on sale all over the campus today, girls selling. Only the broke escaped.
Besides the names of the candidates, two constitutional amendments will be placed on the ballot to be voted on by the members of the association: First, that the Graduate School shall have one representative, whereas they are now entitled to nominate the vice-president, providing there are 50 girls in the Graduate School.

MEET ME AT THE K. U.
EXPOSITION, MAY 2-3

They'll never get more for the time and money. Baseball, track, May Fete, a full exhibition of the University's wares, all in a two-day carnival, should be enough to lure "old grads" from all over the state. "Everybody's doin' it."

Barker
Prof. O. E. Harder, of the food laboratory, to Wichita today to give expert testimony in a case brought by the board of health against a manufacturer of alleged impute vinegar.
Harder to Wichita
Basket-ball looked doubtful
But we calmly breathed a sigh
And with blue and crimson bunting
Tied a bandage to his eye.
"Revenge is mine," cried Tiger
As he made his bow in Track.
Alas! He ran away retreating
With the strips scraped off his back
The baseball season opened He doped out strong to win; But the way old Kansas whipped him Was our one besetting sin.
Then a gentlemenly battle
Fought the Tiger and the hawk.
The debaters proved beyond a doubt
That Jayhawk birds can talk.
We've done our best to demonstrate
And surely they must own
That the "Show me" Tiger spirit
Has conclusively been shown.

From a social standpoint Kansas argued that trusts are inefficient and in addition presented the details of the LaFollette bill for providing a policy of regulated competition.
The Missouri team argued that if was impossible to get back to competition, and cited instances of the railroads. As a solution of the trust problem they proposed publicity and national incorporation.
Prof. G. A. Gesell who accom- the team to Columbia, stated that Frank and Wilbur up about the best debate he has ever heard.
