Engineers' Day is Asked by Mechanical Society
Three Students Talk on Petroleum at Regular Meeting of A. S. M. E.
The regular by-weekly meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was held Thursday night at the home of Prof. F. H. Sibley. The society went on record as favoring an All-Engineers Day to be held some time before school is out.
"Petroleum" was the topic of the evening. John Bunn gave a short talk on the nature and probable origin of petroleum. Joe Mahan spoke on the drilling of wells, design of the Standard and Star drilling rigs. J. J. Jakowsky, chairman of the society, took up the raining and different methods of treating the crude. The Burton Process, the process used by the Standard Oil Co., and the Rittman Process, were described. He also explained absorption and compression processes for extracting gasoline from natural gas in the manufacture of Casing-Head gasoline.
There will be one more meeting of the society this school year, Thursday, May 22.
Electrical Engineers Hold Ninth Banquet
Atmosphere Created by Electric al Signs, Telegraph Instruments and Telephones
With an electric sign flashing, telegraph keys clicking, and telephones ringing, the annual banquet of the University of Kansas branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers was given at Myers Hall on Thursday night.
"Very unusual, extremely interesting, well arranged and brilliant," was how Chancellor Strong described the affair.
The menu and place cards, which were in the form of blue prints, were designed by Newton H. Benscheidt. One hundred fifty plates were laid for faculty members, electrical engineering students and women guests. A 3-piece orchestra played during the banquet.
Prof. George C. Shaad, head of the department of electrical engineering, was toastmaster.
Chancellor Strong told something of the history of the ground upon which K. U. is located.
"The engineer is close to realities and he will have an important part in responding to the call which comes to the University for a new standard of a sound intellectual, social and moral foundation and a real democracy."
"With other countries worn out by war and on the verge of industrial and economic ruin, a great opportunity is open to the United States for developing foreign markets," said Col. P. F. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering, who spoke on "Seen'in Things." "The successful engineer of the future will not merely know how to use the tools of his profession but will be a man of business with broad vision."
"Illumination" was the toast given by Prof. F. Ellis Johnson.
In responding to the toast "Tear Gas," Wayne E. Limbocker, e'19, pointed out, in a light vein, some of the idiosyncrasies of senior electrical engineers. Willis H. Beltz, e'21, responded to the toast, "A High Resistance." Edward J. Norton, e'22, in speaking on "Foot-Prints—The Hewn Way," read a letter from Arthur J. Groebeke, e'09, of Manhua
Prof. H. P. Cady concluded the program of after-dinner speaking with the toast, "Liquid Air at 1000 Degress Centigrade.
At the reception which preceded the banquet, music was furnished by the Faculty Mandonolin Club, composed of Professors George C. Shaad, Raymond C. Moore, George J. Hood, A. H. Sluss, A. C. Terrill, and H. B. Hungerford. Stunts with high frenziale electricity were pulled off by Richard McGee and Foster Myers, students in the department.
The first electrical engineers banquet was in 1909. Because of war conditions the annual dinner was omitted in 1917 and 1918.
freshman Class to Give Annual Frolic May 23
The Freshman Frolic date was announced today as Friday, May 23, by C. K. Smith, freshman class dance manager.
Paul K. Smith Will Manage Frolic and Promises Prize to Best Dancers
This affair is to be a regular Hill party, according to Smith, with refreshments, 7-piece Kansas City orchestra with Chuck Schofist and inside the senate's price ruling. The gym will be elaborately decorated, arrangements already having been made for part of the decorations, the managers say.
Ensign Goss Visit Goss
Ensign Clark Goss, c'20; spent a day in Lawrence last week. Ensign Clark just received his commission in the civil aviation Corps at Pensacola, Fla. He has been discharged but is subject to call in case of war within four years. Ensign Cark may return the university next year. He is a member of Phi Chi and the Quill Club.
This is a new event for K. U. only in name, as the Freshman Frolic of former days was a woman's party put on by the W. S. G. A.

Affair This Year Not to be for Women Only as Before
"The various committees have been appointed," said Smith, "and we fully expect to put on a party that will equal either the Junior Prom or the Sophomore Hop. "Chuck" Shofstall and five "demon purveyors of jazz" from Kansas City will furnish the dancers with the latest selections. Several features of the party are yet to be arranged."
Freshman Frolic May 23 to be Regular Hill Party
The Sphinx Society, honorary freshman organization has decided to give a prize to the best dancers on the floor that night, according to William Schwarz, president of the Sphinx. "The details have not yet been decided," said Schwarz, "but this matter will be taken up at our next meeting and as the honorary freshman organization for men, we hope to establish this a custom."
The third annual dance of the freshman class will be given in Robinson Gymnasium, Friday, May 23. This dance will be called the Freshman Frolic and final permission was granted Paul K. Smith, manager, this morning.
The Frolic will be a spring party and the decorations will probably be in green and white.
