LAWS ARE PLANNING ELABORATE EXHIBIT
Legal Department to Show Procedure of Old and New Courts
DISPLAY IN TWO BUILDINGS
Will Try "Hamlet"-Students to be Characters in Play And Act as Witnesses
The Law School is making elaborate preparations for the University Exposition, May 2 and 3.
In the general exhibit in Robinson gymnasium will be shown, by means of contrasting groups, first, an office such as the greater number of 'Uncle Jimmie's' wards will occupy when they first hang up their shingle to practice law, and with this a lawyer would probably go to law office with its mashogny desk, telephones, filing systems, and library.
Schedules are being prepared and several cases will be tried in different rooms of Green hall at the same time by the students during the Exposition, so it will be possible for a visitor who is pressed for time to see part of a district court case, part of a supreme court case, part of a common law case and the proceedings before a justice of the peace all in a few minutes visit to the various rooms of the law building.
Then there will be shown the old common law courts of the time when judges sat upon the wool sack and wore wigs, and contrasted with this will be shown the modern court with its improved procedure and lack of formality.
On the last day of the Exposition Shakespeare's "Hamlet" will be tried before a jury for the murder of Polonius. This is a very difficult case in law practice to try and should prove very interesting.
The characters in the play have been assigned to different members of the senior law class who are expected to familiarize themselves with the parts given them and to act as witnesses in the case.

GO OUT FOR $10,000 PRIZE PLAY--DUNLAP
English Department Head Wants a Jayhawker to Win Easy Money
"Nothing would make me happier than to see some K. U. student win the $10,000 prize offered by Winthrop Ames for the best play written by an American," declared Prof. C. G. Dunlap, head of the English department, today.
Professor Dumlap this week received a bulletin on the recent offer made by Ames and has tacked it to the English office bulletin board.
Ames is head of the famous "Lit the Theater." New York, and is experimenting on Ameican playwriting talent. The play must be in by August 15, and will be judged by Adolph Klauber, dramatic editor of the New York Times, Augustus Thomas, playwright, and Ames. Musical comedies and translations will not be considered.

Professor Galloo Speaks
Prof. Eugenie Galloo spoke before the Lawrence Reading club on Tuesday. Her subject was "Victor Huge."
A certain student well known in fraternity circles heard that a masterpiece of scandal was to appear in this year's Jayhawker about him.
Sh! It is reported that bribery was attempted yesterday.
When the news reached him he was desperate. He could see in his mind the "cold shoulder" given him by a certain senior co-ed when the book issued from the press. He wrote, "I will not be careless it would cause. Something must be done, and in a hurry. Coifew must not ring tonight."
"Here," and he unrolled a five-dollar bill. "Put your six on that stuff
He hastened to the manager of the book.
"Can you do a fellow a good turn and veto that gag about me?" "Too late. Gone to the printer," came the meat-ax reply.
and this five-spot is yours." This tested the courage of the management, but the latter put Satan behind him.

The affirmative team consists of Homer Hoyt, John W. Johnson, and Walter H. Tilberg and will debate against Oklahoma here April 11. Milton Frank, Car砂on, and E. L. Bennet uphold the negative against Colorado at Boulder on the same date.

RIFLERS TIE NEBRASKA
BUT NEBRASKA WINS
The moral?
Nebraska University defeated Kansas in the shooting match last Saturday, each having a score of 853.
However Nebraska scored higher "standing," and according to an arbitrary rule laid down by the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, when standing and prone scores tie, the team have won. Another score wins. A similar tie occurred in the eastern division recently.
Fred Trigg of the Kansas City Star will address students in the department of journalism Friday immediately after chapel, instead of tomorrow afternoon, as previously announced. Students and faculty are invited.
Too late! The 1913 Jayhawker is now in the hands of the printer—pictures, gags, cartoons, and all. The book will be out in time for the Exposition.
And when Sam Splivens sees a clear snapshot of himself with the "last" girl in school...

A memorial arch over Adams street and a clock to be placed in the tower of the Museum were the chief forms of memorials recommended to the sophomore class by Harold Mattoon, chairman of the committee class memorial his high. In the class museum last Wednesay night.
"A clock that would be as great a credit to the class as the Physics clock is a disgrace to the University could be installed in the tower of the church from one of them dred fifty to four hundred dollars," said Mattoon.
"The arch would require an expen diture of a great deal more money to be as great a credit to the class as a four hundred dollar clock.
"Drinking fountains make a creditable monument but owing to the poor grade of water furnished would be rather impractical.
"The money for these memorials could be raised by an assessment of twenty-five cents each this year and the other by 20 cents assessed at the time of graduati n."
