"The work of decorating the gymnasium will begin next Monday," said Bob Lynn, manager of the Hop, today. The decorating committee, under the direction of Jean Graham, have the plans finished and will go to Kansas City, Mo., Monday to all the necessary equipment to make the party a real affair of the orient."
The gymnasium, according to the plans now, will be transformed into a Japanese garden. The lighting system will be arranged with large Japanese umbrellas and lanterns. The walls will be covered by Chinese mats and ideographs. From a small Chinese hut in one end of the hall, a real Chinaman will serve punch a la beano. Incense will be burning in tall Oriental urns.
The tickets are on sale now and may be obtained from any of the salesmen. The number of couples that will be admitted will be limited this year, according to "Bob" Lynn. According to the present plan the tickets will be on sale up to the night of the party, but will not be sold at the door. Only those who have purchased tickets before will be admitted.
Eddie Kuhn and his 7-piece orchestra from Kansas City, Ms. Mo., will furnish the music for the dance. The orchestra is bringing with it many Oriental pieces which will be played for the first time in Lawrence.

It was the conscientious conviction of most everyone present that Dempsey is going to have to fight harder and faster than he thinks he can if he stands up for any length of time before the man killing blows of Jess Willard. A big many persons have been talking hatefully of the big champion but it is predicted by a great many that he is going to get a little revenge when he steps into the ring July 4 with the much heralded Dempsey.
Variety and freshman baseball practice, and the intra-mural baseball games discontinued since last Thursday on account of the soggy fields caused by the recent rains were postponed again this afternoon.
The men students of the University have set a fine example in the organization of the intra-mural baseball leagues that should be followed by every institution of higher education in the world. Athletics are for every individual, both men and
women, and the sport writer of this column wishes to congratulate the women of Kansas for the active interest they have taken in athletics here.
Before Dempsey came into the ring Jack Kearns, his manager, was introduced and gave a brief history of Dempsey's knockouts in addition to laudatory remarks about the essentialness of athletics and the manly art of self defense. He stated that out of twenty-nine fighters Dempsey had registered knockouts in twenty-five of them while twenty of the twenty-five knockouts were made within the first minute of the fights.
Outdoor athletic exercise is essential to healthful and active minds. There is a certain element among the more staid members of the faculty and students which tends to criticise athletic activity but it is to be regretted indeed.
The urgent demand of high schools for athletic directors in addition to the recent demand for athletic directors in the Philippines is only the concrete proof that the nation has finally recognized the essential value of athletic training and exercise.
Bunker to Investigate Damage Done by Birds
C. D. Bunker, curator of birds and mammals for the University, has been appointed by the Biological Survey of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, to make inspection trips of a few days duration to investigate reports from different places as to the damage done to crops, by birds.
to crops, by a dozen Under the convention between the United States and Great Britain protecting migratory birds in the United States and Canada, the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to issue permits for the destruction of birds found injurious to agricultural interests. The Biological Survey appoints, throughout the country, competent ornithologists at "strategic" points who, if need arises, can make an investigation to determine the extent of the damage and what shall be done to prevent it.
University Makes Tests of Kansas Railroad Water
Letters to about fifteen railroads operating in Kansas are being sent out by Miss Nelle C. Schneider asking that the railroads send samples of the ice and water that are being used in the trains, so that they may be tested in the University laboratory.
Miss Schneider is taking the place left by young as head of the lab laboratory.
All railroads and other companies having public drinking fountains are required to send in samples of the ice and water that they use to be tested. It it proves satisfactory the laboratory here issues the company a certificate. Otherwise, the source of supply must be changed because no public drinking fountains can be maintained without a certificate from the State Water Analysis Laboratory.
Attic And Basement Classrooms Criticized By Health Board Man
The general sanitary conditions of the University are good, according to Dr. A. T. Walker of Salina, a member of the state Board of Health who invested the University last week.
He has never done much on the track at K. U., but while at Camp Taylor last lain Fallong together with "Boots" Adams ran away from the field composed mostly of men from "high-toned" colleges from the east.
Sanitary Conditions Generally are Satisfactory - Fire Escapes Recommended
Playing at both guard and forward positions. Lonborg was with the first basketball team since after the second game this winter.
"Overcrowding is the condition which needs to e remedied most," Doctor Walker said, "especially elimination of basement and attic classrooms such as are used in Fraser and Snow Halls. Snow Hall is no longer fit for use but will have to be used until the state provides something better.

Arthur C. "Dutch" Lonborg, captain-elect of next year's basketball team, is one of the best football ends in the Valley, and is at home on third base in baseball. He is a junior this year.
The gymnasium is taken care of as well as can be expected, considering that the swimming pool and locker rooms are in the basement. To obtain proper ventilation all parts of a gymnasium should be above the ground, Doctor Walker said.
In his report to the governor, Doctor Walker will recommend fire escapes for the gymnasium and the Chemistry Building especially as well as for other buildings on the campus. "The gymnasium is not safe now" he said. Fire escapes should be built at the east and west sides opening from large doors instead of windows."
His first year on the squad, 1917, Lonborg was picked for an All-Valley end position, and ought to be the class of the Valley next year. Many of the K. U. victories during the 1917 season were due partly to successful passes, Prinle to Lonborg.
Doctor Walker will inspect the student hospital and the cafeteria before leaving for Lansing where he will inspect the penitentiary.

Everyone had to run a 50-yard dash in heats of about ten entries. The winners, about eight in number, ran in a final and Lonborg stepped off with his football get-a-way and with Adams five yards behind him put about six yards between himself and the eastern boys at the finish.
