Schwarz, Haddock and MacGinnis are
entered. Marxen, Haddock and Liggett are the weight men who will put the shot.

Students To Make Trip To Mines and Quarries
Towns of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma Will be Visited May 14.19
May 14-19
A trip of interest to all mining and geology students has been planned by A. C. Terrill, professor of engineering, for next week, May 14-19. It will include a visit to several mining and quarrying points in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
The first place visited will be the Webb City and Joplin mining district. From there the students will go to Baxter Springs mining district. Mr. Trellon will lecture at this piece Friday night on "The Use of Zinc in Roofing." The men will visit Picher, where they will go underground and also visit the mills. This is the greatest coal stripping district in the world, and the machines used here are larger than those in the Panama Canal.
F. M. Richards will show the students through the Empire District Power Plant at Riverton. This plant's steam turbines develop more than 30,000 kilowatts. One of the three 5,000 horse power engines which lighted the St. Louis Exposition is operating here.

A. Q. Miller, Multi-Editor,
Talks Shop for Students
Among former K.U. men who have been chosen to attend European universities is Capt. Merril F. D. Faum, e'16, of Lawrence. Prof. F. L. Brown of the School of Engineering has just received a card from him, written at Cork, Ireland, while en route to enter the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. For some time the Captain Daun was the head company of the 137th Infantry. Later he was intelligence officer of the regiment. After the signing of the armistice, he was chief of police in a town in the territory of occupation.
Mr. Miller gave the students an opportunity to question him about various points he had brought up.
He told, too, of some of the public service work which he agitates through his papers. The question of good roads is one thing that he has greatly promoted and now agitation is being made for a hard surface pavement that will entirely cross Republic County.
Harold Roberts, a former student in the University, who was recently discharged from the army, is visiting at the Sigma Nu house.
Sour Owl Will Expose Rule Breaking Dancers
Senate Owl Will Tell How "Dad"
Got His Information With
Local Touches
The copy for the Sour Owl for May 16 has gone to press, according to Glen Banker, business manager of the edition. The last number of the Owl will be larger than the usual Owl and is dedicated to the University Senate.
"The Sour Owl will be a local magazine this time more than before, as the other issue did not seem to meet with the approval of the students of the University as a whole," said Basil T. Church, editor. "The copy is sure sour this time. We are carrying the usual reprint section and a section called the Exhaust which is stronger than the Pepper Pot of former years. The students of the University students and the dates on which they attended the mid-week dances and will expose them in this issue. The issue will tell just how 'Dad' Elliott got all of his information on fraternities and University politics, touching of course upon all evils locally."
"The W.S.G.A. and all organizations are given a final spring review along with the Senate. Yes, its an important role. The Senate gets the most honor."
May Fete of Jayhawks Repeats Ancient Rites
Oruids Once Cavorted in Early Springtime in Mount Oread Fashion
The annual May Fete has been one if the biggest events of the school year at the University with 2,000 to 3,000 people attending.
The first May Fete here was in 1908. Eather Evans was the first Queen of the May. The choice of queen was kept secret and the queen herself was not notified of her honor until twenty-four hours before the fete. In the morning of the first fete, a herald rode about the town on a white horse, announcing the afternoon's celebration. The queen's coronation was followed by a may pole dance in the afternoon, and then organization of the University gave old English playlets, such as "Robin Hood" and "St. George." There was a crowd of 5,000, including hundreds of out-of-town guests, at the first 'ete.
The celebration in honor of the goddess Main is an old tradition of the Greeks and Romans. The Druids, too, had a "May Fete." The May pole appears to have originated in Old England. The Romans offere sacrifice to Maia on every first day of April 28 to May 2. In the United States May Day is national in its observance.
The fete lasts all afternoon, and it is the custom to serve lunches at booths conducted by various women's organizations and managed by the Woman's Student Government Association or the Young Women's Christian Association. "Alice in Wonderland" was given in 1912, and "Pinafore," "Pyrumus and Thiise" and "St. George" have been given.
The May Fete this year will be the eighth given at the University. Last year the fete was omitted because of the war.
But this year's program is to be different. There will be a stationary plot, something new to our May Fetes. The date of the event has been set for May 24. The dancers and other participants in the program are working hard daily, practising. Prof. William Hekking is designing all costumes. Miss Margaret Lynn and Miss Hazel Allen are the general managers.
For Third Time K.U. Meets Haskell on Diamond Today
Owls Elect Seventeen Sophomores
The Owls, junior society for men met Thursday night and elected members for next year but will no训ounce them until the Senate issue of the Sour Owl. Seventeen men of the present sophomore class were elected. They will sell the coming Owls according to Basil Church, editor.
Col. Harold Burdick is lecturing today to the men of the University on the summer training camps at Funston and Fortress Monroe. The lectures are continuous all day and men are going to the lecture during their vacant hours.
The K.U. baseball team clashes with the Haskell Indians this afternoon for the third time this season, on McCook Field. K. U. won the first game on Haskell Field, and the second, on McCook, was carried off last Friday by the Indians.
The freshman team, with Hugo Wedell on the mound held the Varsity to a 1 to 1 tie in a practice game last night. Pierce hurled for the Varsity and was slammed occasionally by the first-year men. Coach Bond has not as yet announced his lineup for the game this afternoon. Slawson has not been used this season, so he may start the game.
Plain Tales From the Hill
The guard near the Union Pacific station halfed a colored man in civilian clothing.
"Hah!!" said he. "What's your business over here?
"Ah'm a Pullman poottah," said he, stiffening himself and swelling up. "Ah brought the boys back."
"How well you look!" was the most popular remark Thursday. After that came, "I don't believe I put my milk-bottle out."
The class was discussing women's apparel.
"What's the difference between a dress, a frock and a gown?" asked the priest.
"I know," chirped Payton Kaylor.
"A dress is worn in the morning, a frock in the afternoon and a gown at night."
Here's a couple of trade-lasts for Professor Ferguson and Professor Boynton, from a college woman:
"I like the way Ferry teaches his classes, because he leaves everything to the students. And I like Boynton because he does it all himself."
And this is the last time we'll mention Fergy or Arthur Jerome this month. They've been getting too much publicity.
The Allemaniacs seem to prosper in spite of the fact that they are doubly hoodooed. Their house number is 23 and their street number is 13.
In adjacent cases in the museum are stuffed specimens of the heron and the crane. So Dorothy Crane and Walter Heren, ornithology students, stand between the cases and argue by the hour as to the merits of the birds.
Dean Blackmar's 8:30 class is made up mostly of women students, and the discussion lately has been chiefly about love. The power of suggestion must be responsible for the fact that in class today seven out of forty were writing love letters to absent men.
FAMOUS LAST LINES
I now pronounce you man and wif
Soph Hop Guests Will Fall Under Orient Spell
This Event Will be the First Entirely Oriental Party Given at K. U.
The Soph Hop will be the original of originals according to Bob Lynn, manager and Eugene Graham, chairman of decorations. Fifteen hundred dollars worth of Decorations have been rented in order to carry out the oriental idea of decoration. Yellow and black streamers will join a drop ceiling and large yellow and black banners with "Soph Hop" and K. U. written in Chinese letters are at either end of the hall. Winkia covers the lattice work on the sides of the gym. Wicker swings and Japanese summer houses will be used to make attractive corners.
The dragon decorated programs blend in with the rest of the Orient. A three course supper will be served while the Oriental Chorus dances.
Upon being closely questioned Bob Lynn admitted that the advertising of Governor Allen's attendance was faked.
Hopfer took the stand middle of the afternoon. He said he was in his room at 12:10 and that coming up the stairs he bumped his canoe paddles on the banisters. Harry Dodd, who lives at 1301 Ohio Street, testified he saw Shaw and Hopfer in their room at 1 o'clock.
Hopfer-Shaw Trial Begins This Morning In District Court
Jose V. Cajucom Takes Stand as Complaining Witness for State
Sets Up Alibi
Case Probably Will go to Jury Before Night—Hopfer Testified This Afternoon
MEN WORE MASKS
The trial of Wallace Shaw and Otto E. Hopfer, charged by Jose V. Cajucom with mayhem, highway robbery and assault, opened this morning at 10:30 o'clock in district court and probably will go to the jury by tonight. Cajucom took the stand first. He testified on the night of April 18 at 12 o'clock, Hopfer and Shaw, with a man he said made him afraid he was leaving his garage and took him in a motor car to Oak Hill Cemetery, where they clipped his hair and removed his trousers and told him to return to town.
Cajcou said Hopfer seized him; that he recognized Hopfer by his size and by his walk. He said Hopfer has a necular swing to his walk.
Cajucon testified the men wore gray masks, which covered their heads and chests, and that they said nothing. Cajucon said he was thrown down and his glasses broken, but that he wasn't hurt badly.
He said he did not recognize Shaw until he was in the car because of Shaw's "rather feminine voice."
"You're paying for not wearing your freshman cap when you were notified." Cajucom testified that Hopfer spoke once.
SAYS HOPFER WARNED HIM
SAYS HOPFER WARNED HIM
Cajucon said that a week before April 18 Hopfer had advised him to wear a freshman cap and that he had heard of students who were going to "get" him if he didn't. Cajucon said he was technically a freshman at the University.
Cajucum he identified Shaw by his voice when he heard Shaw say, "That's crouch," when the man he alceded was Hopfer, was clipping his hip.
The second witness called by County Attorney Wilson was Ruth McDonald, 938 Louisiana Street. She testified that at 11 o'clock April 18 Otto Hopfer stopped at her house and stayed there talking until 12. Lucie Edgar and Jimnie Telsley, two other University students were there also. At 12 o'clock Hopfer left with Telsley and went north. Hopfer was carrying cane paddles. Miss Edgar was staving at her home that night.
IDENTIFIES HOPFER'S LETTER
IDENTIFIES HOPPER'S LETTER
Harold R. Hall, editor-in-chief of The
Horrid R. Hall, identified two articles in The Kansas, one signed by Hopfer and the other with his initials relative to Cajucom's refusal to wear his freshman cap.
Miss Esther Agie, stenographer in Registrar George O. Foster's office, said she was caneing with Hopfer the night of April 18. It was 11 o'clock when he left her house at 918 Louisiana Street.
E. P. Gallagher, Cajucom's landlord, testified he had seen Hopfer walking away from his yard after talking to Cajucom, about a week before Cajucom was taken to the cemetery.
The state rested its case after this testimony, and the defense moved a decision.
Frances Ostrum testified that he heard Hopfer, from a telephone in Dan's Cafe, ask the registrar if Claire he was not an upperclassman. He learned he was not an upperclassman.
Lucile Edgar testified Hopfer and Telsley left the McDonald home at 12 o'clock. Hopter wore an S.A.T.C. uniform and a red sweater, she said. James Telsley said he had taken both women to a picture show and he wore a black hard hat on the town clock strike 12, as they went toward Ninth and Indiana streets, and then Hopfer went East on Ninth toward his home.
HEARD HOPFER'S CANOE PADDLES
Mrs. Nelson's daughter said she was studying late, and at ten or fifteen minutes after 12 she heard a man enter and go up stairs. She heard the noise of candle paddles on the stairs. A little later she said she heard a second man enter and go to Hopfer's and Shaw's room, and so far as she knows, no one left the house that night.
