scians Tonight--Harold Henry,
K. U., Pianist, Today
That college audiences can appreciate something besides syncopated sob songs was demonstrated last night in the Gym when Madame Chilson-Ohrman and Albert Lindquest responded to repeated encores at the first concert of the annual Music Festival.
The big room on the second floor of the Gym, was well filled with both students and townpeople and judging from the conversation overheard as they left the building they will be again this afternoon and tonight.
Madame Ohram captured her audience from the moment she appeared on the stage. A gracious stage presence went far to make more pleasing a pleasant lyric soprano, aid by almost perfect pronunciation and plenty of volume. Besides her tone in baritone, her anise song cycle given in costume, her renditions of "Titanic" and "In the Woods" were best received.
Albert Lindquest made an immediate hit with his vigorous interpretation and pleasing tenor voice. While he displayed only a limited range his "Mammy's Song" and "Judas Jacobaeus" were both humorous and operatic roles. Both responded graciously to numerous encores.
This afternoon Harold Henry, the K. U. pianist, will probably be the main attraction together with Barbara Waitt, contralto, the Symphony orchestra and Czerwonkey, violin soloist.
The program for tonight is as follows:
TWO MORE WOULD
WORSHIP UMPTY-UMPS
NUMBER 135
Two more candidates for the Men's Student Council appeared this morning when "Jack" Maleclimson, a junior Civil engineer and "Hank" Maloy, a junior in the College and widely known as the Kansas and annual cartoonist, announced themselves for vice-president and secretary-treasurer respectively on the Wilson ticket.
THIRD CONCERT Friday Evening, April 25, at 8:15
Avid Frank and Allan Wilbur leave on the 3:05 U. P. for Columbia, Missouri this afternoon to meet the Tigers tomorrow night in the annual Kansas-Missouri debate, this year on the question, "Resolved: That a policy of regulated competition should be adopted by the Federal government as a solution to the trust problem." Kansas has the affirmative.
Frank And Wilbur To Missouri In Annual Talk Tomorrow
The fact that the affirmative of this question has been defeated both at Oklahoma and Colorado has stimulated the Kansas team to more determined efforts to win. They did, last year, and hope to repeat this year.
Professor Gessell, Earl Moore and Mason Minor will accompany the team.
Holiday Comes May 2
"The holiday usually given May 1 will be on Friday, May 2, this year," announced Chancellor Strong in chapel this morning. This ruling was made last fall by the University Council at the request of the promoters of the K. U. Exposition.

FIRST ENTRY FOR INTERSCHOLASTIC IN
Maple Hill Sends In Application For Place In State
Meet
The first entry for the Kansas State Interscholastic track meet from Maple Hill has been received, and from now on entry lists are expected to arrive rapidly.
Along with the track meet, the Sixth Annual Interscholastic tennis tournament commences. Manager Hamilton hopes to have 75 entries in the singles and 40 entries in the doubles.
It is open to any school or academy west of the Mississippi river. The schools winning the doubles and singles will receive a cup, and players will receive medals, the winners valid, and the runners-up silver.
Every contestant will be given a bronze medal. Play in the tournament starts at 10 a.m. on Friday morning, and finishes Saturday afternoon. The singles championship last year was won by Dix Teachner, a student at Mountain high school in Kennewick City, Moe. No one involved in the University. He with his partner, Raymond McKeen, also won the doubles championship.
In the track meet the schools are divided into three groups, Classes A, B and C. The team scoring the highest number of points in each class will receive silver loving cups, while the winning relay team in each class also receives a similar cup.
The contestants averaging the highest individual score in each class will be given a cup, and any athlete breaking a Kansas State Interscholastic Record will be similarly honored. Winners of each event in the second men silver medal, and third men bronze.
Every contestant in the track meet will receive a souvenir button which will admit him to all athletic attractions during his stay at the University free. All in all 174 medals, 20 cups, 400 souvenir buttons, and 50 souvenir medals will be given away.
Each team will be met upon his arrival in the town by a student committee, which will take them to the meeting and look after them while they are in town.
The Faculty Entertainment Committee which has entire charge of the meet is composed of J. N. Van der Vries, Geo. O. Foster, C. A. Dykstra, Coach Mosee, and W. O. Hamilton.
"PARSON" SPOTTS IS MARRIED NOW
Fog-Horn Cheer Leader And Delpha Johnson, Wedded Wednesday
"Parson" Spotts went to Manhattan tuesday in the interests of the Extension department ostensibly, at least. He came back with a wife. Cards announcing his marriage were received by his friends this morning, which is the first knowledge of the event any one in Lawrence had.
The event was well concealed, and no inkling of it had leaked out when the morning mail brought the announcements. They will be "at home" in Lawrence after October first.
Miss Delph J. johnson, of the class 1911, College is the bride. The ceremony occurred at her home in Randolph Wendesday night.
Spotts graduated the year before, and was one of the most popular men in his class. He cornered just about all the honors anyone man could. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity, president of the Student Council, cheer leader, and had numerous other honors.
Today they are in Leavenworth, where Spotsta went to attend an educational meeting for the department. Mrs. Spotsta graduated in 1911, was prominent in Y. W. C. A. work, and a member of the annual board.
THREE BIG SCHOOLS
SCRAP FOR PRESIDENT
K. U. Exposition, May 2 and 3.
Laws, Engineers, and Acad ems Each Trying for Presidency of Council
For the first time in the history of Student Union politics each of the three large schools, Engineering, Law and College has a candidate in the field for president of the Council. The outcome will probably be only another proof of how organization in a comparatively small school may overcome the larger vote of an unorganized one.
While the lineup of all fraternities with regard to Student Council policies is not known it is certain that Pki Kappa Psi and the All曼萨协会 are behind Dodd the engineers and a number of other fraternities and a number of the other fraternities are lining up with Wilson, the Colleague candidate.
The chief argument being used against Dodd is the fact that he be is an Engineer and the Engineers have had the job long enough. Against Fairchild is the cry that the Laws have too much already and that it is time the College was getting theirs.
The cry against Wilson is that he will be only a junior next year, but this is being defended by his friends on the grounds that he has been on the Council a year, which compensates for the fact that he will not be a senator, and that the College which is the largest school in the University, and which has never yet had a representative as president of the Council.
TIGER NINE HERE
TODAY FOR MEAT
Missouri Has Won 2 Conference Games And Dopes Out Strong
Missouri's baseball nine, which plays the Jayhawkers here this afternoon arrives with a good string of victories on its list. The Tigers have lost but one game this year, that to the University of Hawaii.
They defeated the Ames Aggies last week 3 to 10 and 13 to 12. Then after losing a game to the Chinese they came back and beat the Westminster Blue-Jays, the fastest collegiate team in Missouri 8 to 5.
The fact that they have taken two conference games already, and that they held the Chinese down to a low score shows that the Tigers must be considered a dangerous team.
Angerer, their star twirler, was praised highly by the Chinks, and was said to be about the best pitcher they have met so far on their trip. He is said to have a low, fast ball which is a puzzler.
The game this afternoon starts at 4:00 p.m. The batteries in all probability will be: Missouri—Angerer and Helmreich; Kansas-Bishop and Sommers.
HASKINS TO LEAVE
Engineering Professor Goes To Kansas City With Increase In Salary
In Salary
Prof. C. A. Haskins, assistant professor of civil engineering, assistant of the State Board of Health and a member of the sanitary engineering faculty of the University, will leave May 15 to take a position with the U.S. Navy at Blacksburg, Va. engineers of Kansas City, Mo. Professor Haskins will immediately become second man of the firm with a substantial increase.
OH PSHAW! ONE
Since obtaining his degree from the Engineering School of the University in 1910 Haskins has been engaged in active engineering work, since taking up the duties of Prof. W. C. Hoad who went to Michigan. His work on the Sanitary Board will probably be taken up by Prof. Grandville Jones as soon as he fully recovers from an attack of typhoid fever from which he is now convalescing.
GIRL QUIT RACE
Miss Bernice Schultz, who was reported to be running for president of the Women's Student Government Association in the Daily Kansan Wednesday, has decided not to be a candidate.
"My name was mentioned for the place by my friends," she said this morning, "but no petitioners have been made to take it. Only a very decided not to make the race."
Miss Marie Sealy and Miss Maude Laurey are now the only candidates for the position.
OBERHOFFER LIKES TO MAKE COLLEGE TOWNS
Demands Intellectual Basis For Appreciation Of Music
"Music can't be emotionally appreciated, in the true sense, unless one is trained and possesses an intellectual basis for such enjoyment. People who say they are stirred deeply by music are liars and hypocrites unless they have been educated into knowing what good music is."
So says Emil Oberhoffer, who conducts the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra here this afternoon.
"We like to make college towns," continued Conductor Oberhoffer, "because our audiences there have been prepared for what we offer, and consequently we can render really good music. For instance, we are playing today for Kansas University a program far better than what wend oralis had thousand; here you have a good basis for appreciating music, there you have a lot of nickle shows and no intellectual foundation.
"I consider America the greatest place for music in the world. That Chicago could have the opera it has is remarkable, not to mention smaller towns that pay as much as $85,000 per performance. Some day America will produce a great composer. The musical pot is boiling over now."
Incidentally Director Oberhoffer says his orchestra likes Brahms symphonies better than anything else, and that once upon a time he invested $2,500 in a "barotype" machine. When he saw the Daily Kansas's linotype he knew where and why his money went. He also says a musician must be a poet, more or less.
The orchestra came here last night from Springfield, Missouri.
"CIRCUS O. K." SAYS CHANCELLOR AT 2 A.M.
Refuses To Miss Mammoth Show—Another Funny Performer Arrives
"I would not miss the Indoor Circus this year for one thousand dollars."
This statement was made by Chancellor Strong at two o'clock this morning, when called upon for a statement by the Circus press agent. The Chancellor said further: "I have been going to circuses all my life, and the exhibition last year surpassed anything I have ever seen. Even if I should break my leg at the last minute, I would have them carry me to Robinson Gymnasium on the night of May 2".
The Chancellor is especially interested in the production this year, since several of his acquaintances will appear in star roles.
by one the performers in the mammoth production are dropping in. François de Rire, the première clown of the Parisian Rhinodrome, arrived today. De Rire is reputed to be the funniest man alive. It was necessary to administer an awful filtration to the train which brought the clown, he was so convulsed by the clown's sight of De Rire.
Katherine and Alta Lux and Nell Houston will spend the week-end in Leavenworth.
HODGES DENIES RUMORS OF GENERAL SHAKE-UP
Governor Says Reports Of Sweeping Changes by New Board Unfounded
LACKNEY EXPLAINS POLICY
"Board Desires to Improve Conditions at Schools," He says,
"Not to Harm Them."
Special to the Daily Kansan:
Topeka, April 25—There will be no wholesale removal of University of Kansas heads by the new educational administration board, according to Governor George H. Hodges, who today declared that reports of many contemplated changes by the new educational body had been unwarrantedly circulated. Gov. George Hodges held a three hour conference with the board last week and states authoritatively that he knows of no plan for a general shake-up in the management of the state University. The Law School papers this week that the new educational board planned a house cleaning in the K. U. management and this report was carried over the Associated Press wires and was given general circulation. When a copy of this story was handed to Governor Hodges, he declared that so far as he knew, there was absolutely no foundation for it.
"Last week I had a three hour conversation with members of the board." said Governor Hodges. "The members told me they had re-elected Chancellor Strong, but there was not the least intimation that they contemplated any general changes in the Kansas University management at this time or at any early date. To be sure the board has established a new policy concerning the necessary attendance at the various classes, but this ruling affects all state schools and is general in its scope. You can say that I know nothing of any such change."
It is possible that members of the educational board will be in Topeka sometime next week. But Governor Hodges declares that while he has been in almost daily touch with the members, that he knows of no policy established by the board when he makes this decision, contemplates a general change in the management of the University of Kansas.
While in Topea last week Ed. T. Hackney, president of the board and a University graduate, declared that the board would avoid putting into operation any policy which would embarrass or in any manner cripple any state school.
"The policy of the board," said President Hackney, "to aid in bettering conditions; and a general shake-up doesn't do that. While we hope to inaugurate some changes in the present plan, which we believe will prove beneficial to the schools as well as to the state, we do not contemplate any change which would in any way threaten the present healthy condition of the institutions."
HALBERT OF K. C. SAYS
POVERTY CAN BE ABOLISHED
L. A. Halbert, superintendent of the board of public welfare in Kansas City, spoke in chapel this morning on the subject, "The Abolition of Poverty." He is a Kansan and a graduate of Washburn.
"Poverty has been accepted as in- inevitable, but modern social workers think that it can be abolished," said Mr. Halbert. "Social workers must turn to social reform to remove the cause of poverty."
Pharmics to Inspect
The pharmacies will journey to Kansas City May 9th to inspect the drug manufacturing companies.
Warren Myers, of Hutchinson has enrolled in the Middle Law school.
Richard Hepworth a senior in the law school will spend the week-end in Lyndon.
