Pi's Just Gotta Speed up if He Holds K.U.Honors
"Van the animal man" has acquired a new pet. It is a big, coal black, Newfoundland dog that answers to the name of Carlo. It happened this way. A short time ago Van was told to get a dog for the dissecting classes, but when he saw Carlo he decided the医些 were just out of luck so far as an operating room became because he intended to keep him there. He recompense for having cheated them out of a subject "Van" let the medics obtain blood from Carlo for their laboratory experiments.
"The best watch dog that ever was," is Van's expression in speaking of Carlo. "If I tell that dog to lie in front of a door till mornil, I'm sure to find him there when I come around next day."
Van asserts that Carlo can learn tricks quicker than any dog he ever saw. In fact he says he is always on the job when it is time to do the chores. "If he can't talk, it's mighty good imitation." Van said yesterday.
Carlo has become a K. U. fixture and, according to students who have seen him, stands a fair chance of crowding Pi for Hilltop honors.
Beyond The Hill

Senate Meets Tonight
We have been clamoring for self-government all year. The Honor System is a form of self-government. It is a plan whereby all control of dishonesty is put in the hands of the students, rather than the faculty representatives. It is merely the first step that is being taken for self-government. If it passes, students will have a right to ask for other forms of governing themselves, as they will have shown their willingness to undertake government by an overwhelming majority.
THE SENATE IS PESSIMISTIC
Several members of the University Senate have said that the University students are not interested enough in anything to get out and vote with a 75 per cent vote.
Are we?
Never before, even where the best organized machines have been at work, has there ever been more than a 60 per cent vote, affirmative and negative, on anything. A 75 per cent affirmative vote will mean practically a 100 per cent vote.
A 100 per cent vote!
Can we do it? We cannot unless everyone who is in favor of this system of government is enough in earnest to take the responsibility of bringing people who are indifferent to the polls.
A principle is at stake. Are K, U. students indifferent?
Is the Senate correct in its pessimistic attitude toward the student body?
Students' Day Orators Are Being Selected For Friday's Meeting

Dramatic Department Announces Everything Is Ready For Electra
Seats in Gymnasium Arranged to Give Uninterrupted View MacMurray Says
"The K. U. Band will probably play and Fred Leach will be there to lead the cheering," said John Monteith, president of the Men's Student Council, today. "This will be a rousing meeting. Speakers from the various schools will have an opportunity to air their real and fancied grievances."
Prof. Arthur Nevin will present the Mother Goose chorus at a convention of the Federation of Jane Clubs, scheduled for a week beginning June 29 at the MacDowell Colony at Petersborough, New Hampshire. Professor Nevin will direct the pageant to be given. The Mother Goose chorus, composed for the May Fete here, will be published.
Professor Nevin to Present Chorus
Tickets Are Still on Sale
Florence Butler in Leading Role Receives Favorable Criticism from Margaret Anglin
"The hardest and okf work has smoothed out the production wonderfully well," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray today. "I believe the play will merit the attention of metropolitan critics. I am sure that the powerousOWER comes from Dramatic Club for its ambition in presenting a work of this standard.
"The lines are all spoken to music and Prof. Charles S. Skilton in his original compositions for this presentation has developed the theme in a singularly intimate and appropriated way, as well as the previous well known compositions. As to the cast, we have in the leads student actors who are superior to the average road show talent. I don't mean to say we have Mansons, but in general, those actors are too young for that—yet. But there is a vigor and a freshness about their work that often is lacking in even the most finished artists.
"But artistic production isn't much if you can't see it; so we have removed some of the seats, have rear windows and other hard surfaces made it possible for every seat to give a full and uninterrupted view of the stage."
The Men's Student Council gave all the Varsity parties before the war, and they were well attended. The authority to give the dances was turned over to the women while the men were in the service. When the men returned they expected to secure the old privilege.
WHY MEN SHOULD PUT ON VARSITY PARTIES
All the men and many of the women of the University believe that the authority to put on dances should be in the hands of the Men's Student Council. The men will put on good parties for the students at a cheaper admittance fee. They do not want to make money. They want to have better all-University parties and make the school more democratic.
At present the men pay the musicians, rent the hall and look after all the detail work of the parties. The women take up the tickets and turn over half the profits at the end of the month to the men. The men do all the work under the present plan and should be given the authority to put on the parties.
The women held their privilege. The men furnish the money for the parties and feel they should have the right to put on the parties they pay for. The W. S. G. A. has put on several very poor parties and many mediocre ones this year. To be sure, they made money. But why not? They advertised good music but did not have it when the party came off.
Campus Has Material ForBlood-BangNovels
The Senate should return this privilege to the men. They were handled unfairly when prohibited of their privileges after returning from the service.
Enough material for several dozen thrilling paper-back novels might be found in one room on the campus if the literary acrobats who write the blood-fire-bang-bang-bang literature knew all the facts that have been unearthened there. The University's own collection of rosa basina is run on a strictly sub rosa basina and never gets into the papers, but it's a busy little slush at that.
The chemistry department has charge of its workings, and its prin-cipal duties are to find out the facts in cases of alleged poisoning. The analysis of viscera and other suspected containers of poison is carried on under the personal supervision of Dr. F. B. Dains. The department has given valuable assistance in many poison cases.

LA DRAMA
Characters:—The Girl. The Rivals.
The Man, Chariot and Steed.
The Time—Four or five hours after dawning.
The Place-The Castle of the Key.
The Girl is retiring but confident.
She is in her boudier.
There is a light in her eyes and a glow in her check.
The rivals wait below—impatiently clamorously.
Each hopes to be the one favored when the expected one arrives. They conjecture—they argue with each other—they are happy or pessimistic concerning their success by turns,—but attention! he is coming.
The Girl hears, but she still waits
The girl is silent.
The Girl hears, but she still waits.
The rivals rush forward and sur-

she is not to be found. She calls her
name and she descends to receive
what is her own.
The postman hands her the daily letter.
Mr. Phi Beta Kappa Scott (in class)
"Shall we have a quiz in this
class?"
Prof. Schwierger—"Do you mean to say, 'Will we, Mr. Scott?' If not, confer with you after the lecture and confer with you after we should have one or not."
That's the trouble with the Phi Beta Kappas. They are meek until they "arrive," but then look out."
We have often heard that this kind of weather is fine for ducks, but we have come to the conclusion that a man is a big Goose to be in out it.
FAMOUS LAST LINES
Off again, on again, washed again.
Two Negro Scholarships Are Open Until June 4
Unless There Are More Applications the University Will Lose the Scholarships
June 4 is the last day for application for the two scholarships, which are open to negro students. Up to date the applications have been few in number, and unless there is a loss the university will lose the preference although preference is given to medical students any negro student may apply.
The first scholarship is given by Dr. F, D. G. Sherman and Edward S. Harvey of Lawrence. It amounts to $50 and to be given to a colored student, man or woman, above the freshman year.
The second scholarship is given by Prince Hall, Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, Kansas and Colorado Jurisdiction. The value of the scholarship is $50 to be awarded to the freshman year, who proactively committee that she is a good student and gives promise of future success.
"These are the first scholarships," said Mr. Ika Hyde of the department of physiology, "which have been limited to students of the negro race. It is a wonderful opportunity for the students as individuals and would extend far-reaching and most beneficial influence among the colorex race."
Applications are to be addressed to M. E. Gallon, chairman of the scholarships.
About 300 Students Vote In First Morning Of Honor System Poll
Workers Believe Most of Voters Endorse Proposed Plan of Discipline
Need 1,670 "Yes" Ballots
Snow Hall Will Remain Open from 9 to 4:30 o'Clock Wednesday
Three hundred students had voted in the honor system polls by 12:30 o'clock today. It was the opinion of most of these votes for the system.
Students who have not voted today will be seen personally tonight, it is planed.
There is a total enrollment of approximately 2,225 students in the University this quarter. This means that about 1,670 students must vote in favor of the system, if the system is to be in force the coming year, as a 75 per cent favorable vote is required.
The only objection to the honor system, according to members of the school of Law, is the second clause of the proposal. If you pull the teeth of the system, however, they say, it is not worth passing into law. In general the School of Law seems not to endorse the plan.
The voting places in Snow Tan will be open Wednesday from 9 until 4:30 o'clock. Votes will be counted Wednesday night. The sealed ballot boxes will be kept in the registrar's office tonight. Judges at the polls are from the Men's Student Council, the Woman's Student Government Association, the Y. M, C. A, and the Y. W, C. A.
Pardaman Singh, Bengal philosopher, says that, although the honor system would be impossible in India, because of the fear in the government educational system, that the fear in rebellion if given even so little power it would good thing at K. U. for no other reason than because it is an acquisition of power, he says, and therefore a desirable end in itself.
Exhibit Of Paintings Will Be Shown In Ad Commencement Week
British and Japanese Pictures and Perhaps Woodward Collection will be Included
The department of art is planning a large exhibit of pictures in the Administration Building Commencement Week. There are no pictures on display now because the department is preparing for examinations. Spare time is being devoted to plans for the commencement exhibit.
A part of the exhibit to be shown will be composed of a collection of sixty画 pictures, reproductions of paintings by the English artist, Muirhead Bone. They are pictures of scenes and life on the English battle front. The British Government is issuing them through its bureau of information as a courtesy to educational schools.
Japanese prints from the Thayer collection will also be shown. If it is possible to move the Woodward collection to a time a part of it will also be placed on exhibition. Students' work will also be part of the exhibit.
Sorority Would Penalize Another Hill Sisterhood
A petition to penalize a sorority, for the alleged initiation of a woman who was not passed upon by the local Pan-hellenic is being circulated among members of the Pan-hellenic council by members of another sorority.
At this afternoon's meeting of the Pan-hellenic Council evidence will be heard, and the council will decide whether there should be a penalty. The violation of rules is said to have placed last January, but the matter has not been resolved now. Today's meeting will be held at the Alpha Chi Omega house. Louise Broeker is president of Women's Pan-hellenic.
Miss Florence Butler who plays the leading role in Electra has been receiving considerable attention from famous actresses on account of her active part in K.U. dramatics, "Faculty and students at the University of Kansas alike," says the Kansas City Star, "bear this year's graduating class contains one of America's future great actresses. She is Florence Butler, who has been a dramatic star at K.U. for four years."
