There will be no reserved seats."

Y. M. Cabinet Challenges Teams For Game At Stag
Boxing, Music, Magic, and Refreshments Furnish Other Numbers on Program
The Y Stag, first men's mixer of the term to be put on in the gym Wednesday night, will be well attended, according to Virgil Hower, who is in charge of tickets. An admission charge is made, he said, only to help defray expenses for refreshments.
The ticket sale must close Tuesday night, Hower said, so the stag managers will know how many to prepare for. More than 350 tickets have been sold. The mixer will begin at 7:30 o'clock.
One of the most interesting things on the program is a set of stunts put on with high frequency electricity by a university student. Prof. A.C. Terrill of the School of Engineering will demonstrate sleight of hand and magic tricks.
Boxing matches will be staged by evenly matched boxers, according to John Bunn, chairman of the Stag committee. A battle rival is to be put on by some high school students. Music will be furnished by Charles Shofstall and Willard Pierce and by a quartet of stringed instrument players. A special number on the xylophone by Gola Roberts is also promised.

"and in this stag Wednesday night we
want to give new students the chance
to get together, meet each other and
the older students, and have a general
rousing time."

Criticism Of Y.M.C.A.
Overseas Work Unjus
Dr. Naismith Declares Allleged Inefficiency Was Due to Age Limit
"Those who criticize the overseas work of the Y. M. C. A, today, will be ashamed of themselves when the complete history of the war is written," said Dr. James Naismith, head of the department of physical education, who returned from overseas service Saturday.
Doctor Naismith sailed for Europe in September, 1917, and spent nineteen months in Y. M. C. A. work abroad. He was first stationed with the 26th Division, New England troops known as the Yankee Division, at Camp Coquidain. After six weeks there he made his headquarters in Paris, going out to different camps to lecture on social hygiene, spending two weeks or more in a camp.
"Iis anything," asked Doctor Naismith, "up to standard in carrying on the war? The canteen work was wished upon the Y by General Porshing. The difficulty in obtaining personnel for the Y. M. C. A. was because of the age limit which was placed first at 31 and later at 45. This took out the trained workers, and many men rejected by the army as unfit found their way into the work. One man under my observation had a wooden foot and another had a wooden leg. Such men, of course, could not be allowed to go up to the front."
Doctor Naismith is for the League of Nations. "Acceptance of the League is the only thing to do," he said.
A few days before sailing for home Doctor Naismith visited Company M. Only six men of the old company are now attached to it, for many are in schools in France and England, and others have been transferred. Only one officer of the 137th Infantry, the old K1st Kansas, is still with them.

Miss. Katherine Duffield, secretary of the University Y. W, hopes to send a delegate of at least fifty women from the University.
Miss Duffield, Lucille Rigari chairman of the conference committee, and Nellie-Reece Evans will explain the purpose and advantages of the conference to any woman interested.
It is a long step from actress to lawyer, but Miss Jessie Nagle of St. John who, according to the Chicago Tribune, is a graduate of the School of Law of the University, accomplished this recently when she left her duties at Cort Theater, Chicago, and appeared before the Court of Domestic Relations to defend a colored woman charged with contributing to the dependency of her two children.

Attempt Will Be Made To Double K.U's. Quota In Fifth Liberty Loan
Official Allotment of $20,000 is Proportioned Among the Different Buildings
Payment Plan To Be Used
Non-Taxable Bonds Yield Nearly 7 Per Cent Interest In Lawrence
Blowing of whistles and ringing of bells at 9 o'clock this morning announced the starting of the Fifth Liberty Loan campaign in Lawrence. The general campaign for this loan lasts until May 10, but the campaign in the University will be this week only according to Prof. G. U. Mitchell, chairman of the University committee.

The government is urging the people to buy and pay for these bonds on the percentage plan so that not too great an amount of money will be withdrawn from banks at one time. The rate of interest will be 4% per cent, the bonds being non-taxable ex- taxes or imbursement tax or income tax. Since the tax rate in the slightly above 2 per cent these non-taxable bonds are nearly as good as a 7 per cent investment which is taxable.
