Weddell will Talk to Y.M.
on Student Government
Constructive Discussion will be Conducted at Meeting Thursday Night
"Is Student Government Ever a Success?" will be the subject of a talk by Hugo Wedell at a meeting of the Y.M.C.A. Thursday night. "We will take up a review of the past history of student government, and the reasons for it's successes and failures. We are going to offer something constructive, in other words, we will not criticise, but see how to correct the mistakes."
This is a third of a series of ten talks by Mr. Wedell. The first on "Wake Up Kansas" was one of the best attended meetings this year, and the subject for Thursday promises to be even more interesting.
"This discussion of student government is of vital importance to every man in the University, not because it is a M.Y.M.C.A. meeting, but because it is the biggest problem in the industry settlement can come only through a thorough understanding of the situation," says Mr. Wedell.
The Auditing Committee, which was to meet Tuesday night, transacted no business because a quorum was not present.
Here's another one of those aspiring freshmen who failed to wear the distinctive cap on the Hill Wednesday April 9. Even though the freshmen might forget that they are not upper classman, the Red Vigils remember it at all times.

Senator Borah Demands Change in Peace League
Statesman Objects to Intertwining of Peace Treaty and League of Nations
"I will never support any league of nations that surrenders any part of the independence of the United States," said Senator William E. Borah in his speech at Topeka before a large crowd of Topeka people and a delegation from the University.
"The first effect of the league as it stands is to destroy the politics of both Washington and Monroe, the basic principles on which our foreign policy is grounded. I do not assail Great Britain; I do not blame Great Britain for looking after her own interests. But when you sit down at the diplomatic table with Great Britain you haven't any time to attend to anybody's business but your own.
"We all want peace, but there are hinges dearer than even peace. If the peace treaty comes back with the eague of nations so interwoven in it that they may not be separated andoted on separately, then I say here s one United States senator who will iot hesitate to vote even against the peace treaty."
Margaret Anglin to Play Here in Comedy "Billeted"
Her Vehicle Described by Critic as "Smart" With Epigrammic Dialogue
Margaret Anglin, who starred in "Lady Ursula" in 1888 in Kansas City with E. H. Sothern, will come to Lawrence Monday in the comedy "Billed." She is playing in Kansas City, 6o., now at the Grand Theater.
"Billeted" is described as a "merry love-commed." In this comedy of manners Miss Anglin is said to display a very different phase of her genius from that brought forward in her portraits of the Greek masters. The one word for the comedy probably is "smart," says the dramatic critic of the Kansas City Star. The play is in three acts, and the dialogue is a rapid 'ire of epigrams.
Margaret Anglin began her career at seventeen, and had been on the stage four years when she created the flurry of the 1898 season in Kansas City. She was a member of the E. H. Sothern company when it played at the Coates Opera House in 1898, and was playing the part of Lady Ursula herself in the play by that name, before the company left that city. She replaced Mrs. Sothern—Virginia Harned—in that role.
"Her success at that time was complete," wrote the critics. "Briefly put, Miss Anglin was a hit. Her work was acknowledged by all, and the classic drama has held many notable achievements for her. Her Australian tour was also a marked success. The film's critical acclaim awakened of Helena Richie," and in the comedy 'Great Stockings,' she also received notable praise."
The exhibits in the University Classical museum on the second floor of Fraser will be the subject of a lecture by Prof. A. M. Wilcox of the department of ancient language Thursday morning from 10:30 to 11:30 o'clock in the museum.
Her visit of 1912 won the same high order of appreciation as the 1888 visit. She has also starred in "Lady Windermere's Fan" and "A Woman of No Import." She is to be supported here next week by her original New York company.
Prof. Wilcox to Lecture in Classical Museum
The museum contains many reproductions from Greek art, a clay model of the Acropolis at Athena, many relies of Greek and Roman civilization, other objects of interest in connection with classical literature and life.

K. U. Actors Are All Set for Big Follies Tonight
Tenighta a 8:15 o'clock the curtain will rise on the first big act of the 1919 Follies. The leading ladies and the leading men and the ladies chorus worked out in dress rehearsal last night and the last few rough spots disappeared under hard practice, today.
Color, Dance, and Song Plot Goes Merrily Round the World
The lines are learned, the comedian knows where the laughs are supposed to come, the costumes have passed he censors, the hero and the heroine are ready for their wild adventures, and the orchestra knows the score.
It's a blaze of color, a whirl of dance, and as for song—well, in addition to all the music straight from New York, there's some straight from the campus. Prof. Maxwell Ferguson has written one of these slow, dreamy, spring time waltzes and 'Mare' Law have to Dance." According to the Follies management, nobody can stay quietly seated during that one.
As for costumes—some of these come from fairy tales and some from Paris and some from the comic supplement. But they all ruft into one harmonious whole. Everything from pantineon to toe-dancing appears on the program with a single thread of costume. The same jumps from the campus to Egypt without any apparent dislocation. If you have difficulty following the thread, well, the management will take care of that.
Dorothy Cole to Assist in Follies
The success of the Follies has been further assured by the acquisition of Mrs. Dorothy Cole's assistance in instructing the chorus. Mrs. Cole consented Saturday to supervise this part of the program and promises in the limited time which is permitted her to produce the best that can be gotten from the excellent material in hand.

Pneumonia or Paddling
Freshmen Have Choice
To wear or not to wear it, that is the question that confronts the poor, down-trodden frosh this morning. He don't wear it he may have to come to class some morning wearing a barrel, for the innocent swiping of frosh clothes, became almost a pastime with the upperclassmen last year. It is a favorite punishment for the failure to decorate one's head in the proper manner and find himself exploring the bottom of Potter's lake. This is a favorite trick with the upperclassmen in the School of Engineering.
Then again, if he does wear it. Influenza, pneumonia, at least a bad cold may result. Still again. The frosh cap is not a water-shed in the strictest sense of the word, unless the shedding of water down the back of the neck and into the eyes can be considered the function of a watershed. The precipitation last night and this morning was one and one-half inches, the approximate amount of water who entered the body from which it probably one-half inch. The amount that exited from the posterior opening is probably not more than one-fourth inch. Amount absorbed: one-fourth inch.
Now, the weather forecast for today is rain or snow and considerably older. Don't think dear freshman, hat you getting the worst of it, however, for it is a matter of social history when seniors were freshmen tained from April 1 to June 2, without cessation.

Students Favor May 30 As Day For Soldiers Memorial Service Here
Suggestions from Councils Urge Program by Prominent Man and Organizations
The University Memorial Committee will meet tonight at 7:30 o'clock in Dean G. C. Shand's office to make plans for memorial exercises, and to consider further plans for a permanent memorial to soldiers from the University who died in the war.
Students have been asked to make suggestions for the memorial. The Men's Student Council handed in the following suggestions:
1. That the services be held on May 30.
2. That the program consist of an address by some prominent man and a program by the faculty and student organizations. The latter, however, with the exception of the Band and Choir, is not an active part in the program, but rather devote their time to decoration, arrangement of the program, etc.
3. That all men who were in the service be requested to wear their uniforms.
4. That organizations having service flags be asked to turn them in to the committee for use in decoration.
5. That the funds which have been placed in the registrar's hands by vardom authorities for years are used in paying for the construction of cases for the display of men who died in the war.
At the W. S. G. A. meeting Tuesday suggestions were made similar to the first four of the above recommendations.
The students' vote for memorial exercises has been in favor of holding them on Memorial Day. At a mass meeting of students in the School of Engineering Tuesday a poll was taken resulting as follows: In favor of Memorial Day, 85; Baccalaureate Sunday, 3; Convocation in May or June, 19; Sunday in May, 48. Seventy-five indicated they are in favor of having an address by some prominent man, while 79 voted for a program by faculty and student organizations. In answer to a query as to how many students would attend the memorial service, 133 voted yes, 19 not voting.
A New Idea in Humor Promised in New Annual
"Contrary to the general opinion that there is no new way to run a humor section, the editors believe that in the 1919 Jayhawk there will be one that will attract attention," said Edwin Patton, one of the editors of the Jayhawk humor section, this morning.
There will be some real stuff, which is different from the regular old pressagent idea, according to Mr. Patton. Some of the best original humor writers on the Hill have contributed material, to the humor section which is now completed and ready for the printers. Irene Fowden is working in conjunction with Mr. Patton.
