HEARD SHAKESPEARE MAIL STUDY POPULAR
Program Given in Fraser Hall Wednesday Night Was Good
That the University of Kansas is partaking in the universal Tercentenary Shakespeaream celebration was indicated last evening at the Shakespeaream program given by Mrs. Harald Butter in Fraser Hall.
A large and appreciative audience heard selections of the most popular plays and songs taken from them and set to music by such great artists as The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Shakespearean numbers were some popular English and Irish folk song
Mrs. Butler's rendition of the court scent from "The Merchant of Venice" was especially well received. The two songs from "As You Like It," were new to the audience but gained quick favor.

WHERE THE RAINDROPS GO
Evaporation Station Helps Determine Best Crops
New equipment for an Evaporation Station to be established under the auspices of the United States Weather Bureau has just been received and will be set up between Haworth Hall and Marvin Hall.
The equipment consists of an evaporation pan, still well and hock gauge, reading evaporation to the one thousandth of an inch, rain gauge, maximum and minimum thermometers with instrument shelters.
This work is an attempt on the part of the government to find out what becomes of the rainfall and by so doing to be able to determine the adaptability of different crops to different localities. It is the first evaporation station to be installed in this state in connection with the government weather bureau, although several others are being located in other states.
Professor Shull, who is in charge here, considers this the most important work that has been undertaken by the government weather bureau as the results obtained will be of practical use in determining the crops best suited for conserving rainfall in each locality.

Extension Division Reports Big Enrollment Increase in Correspondence Courses
An increase of 234 registrations in the correspondence study in the Extension Department, for the year end December, will be presented today by F. R. Hamilton, director.
Nine hundred and sixty-eight people from twenty-two states have registered for courses. About eighty per cent of the correspondents live in Kansas. The other twenty per cent live in Missouri, Oklahoma and Colorado.
More than two hundred university and vocational courses are offered through correspondence study; instruction in botany, chemistry, economics, education, engineering (civil, electrical, mechanical), English, foreign languages, history, journalism, mathematics, mineralogy, geology, pharmacy, physics, physiology, sociology, are among the subjects.
"The greater part of those taking courses are teachers," said Mr. Hamilton. "They can do work towards their degrees and at the same time retain their earning power." Sixty hours' correspondence credit can be counted towards a degree, but the last thirty hours and thirty more hours of the eighty hours must be resident credit for a degree.
Interest has grown so rapidly in the department that registrations have increased almost 2000 per cent in the last six years.
FROM HERE TO SHANGHAI TO WED DOCTOR S
From Lawrence to San Francisco then across the Pacific to Shanghai, China, to be married to Dr. Charles Siler, who was graduated from the University in 1008, is the journey being made by Miss Marian Pierce, a physician of Chicago. After graduating Dr. Siler spent two years in Kansas City and then two in Chicago where he met Miss Pierce. He has been in China 4 years having spent the past winter in Siberia studying prison conditions. His work is with the Y. M. C. A.
Since it costs $1.50 a word to cable to China, Miss Pierce sent the one word, "Shanghai," to her flance, indicating the port where she would be docked at San Francisco, June 10, and expects to arrive in Shanghai about June 20.
Miss Pierce is a graduate of Rush Medical College and had an extensive practice in Chicago. She was in Lawrence, June 3, and informed Dr. Robert Finke and Mrs. C. A. Siler, 900 Illinois Street, of the approaching marriage.
In its place there is a big new fontain thirty feet in length with tall mirrors behind and the fancy little push-the-button service for the syrups, instead of the old fashionel turn-the-handle and wait variety.
ITS A NEW WIEDEMANN'S
THAT GREETS STUDENTS NOW
Again, to use the words of the poet, "The old order changeth, giving place to new." The old fontain that greeted the eyes of our daddies and mothers and from which such choice tit-bits were served then as to choose them out of WHAT mam's and relegated to the rear with the other has-beens.
TO MEET LAST ASSAULT
And everything is "dolled up" after the fashion of the best big city fountains. Glasses, dishes, spoons, fresh fruit, grape juice, and everything is stacked up to bring a great change in the place so universally known as "Wiedes's." No wonder some of the old alumni wept when they were here commencement week, for lo, another landmark is gone.
Owners of Trees Plan Repulse of Worms
The report that the ravages of the canker worm will be worse than ever next year has stimulated plans for the protection of trees in the city on and the campus. That the banding of a few trees does little good was demonstrated this year. Many persons are advocating an ordinance which will protect their trees or to permit the city to do at the citizen's expense.

A campaign against the canker worm will be started in February by H. B. Hungerford, of the department of entomology, Mr. Hungerford says that another stripping such as the trees got this year would have serious results. The trees in Marvin grove took on a sadly dead appearance this spring before the cold rains killed the worms, and the greatest vigilance will be necessary next winter to protect them.
The one gleam of comfort is in the act explained by entomologists that next year is the last of the plague, such visitations run in three-year eriads at the end of which the worms offer extermination by parasites.
A rare bird has been presented to the Dyche Museum and after being scientifically skinned and mounted by the hunker, will soon be on exhibition.
ANOTHER RARE BIRD
ARRIVES AT THE MUSEUM
HARRINGTON PRIZE WON
BY TANNER AND WHITTEN
After the storm which swept over southern Kansas several days ago, Mr. G. G. McConnel, of Parker, found a specimen of a Pelacanus Occidentalis or Brown Pelican, a bird which has never been seen in this state before. The bird was found dead but there is a doubt as to whether it was shot, or lost. It appears that the species are common to the regions around the Gulf coast of the United States and Atlantic coasts of Central and South America and has been found in Wyoming, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska and Massachusetts.

Edward Tanner of Lawrence and Willis G. Whitten of Marysville, both students at the University were awarded the Harrington prize of $50 for the best papers on architectural engineers. The papers gave complete and specifications for a high school that would accommodate 200 students.
The prize is offered every year by John L. Harrington, a graduate of the University, who is a construction engineer in Kansas City, in order to foster a desire for conscientious work by the architectural students here.
The "bug seekers" from the University met with a severe shock Saturday afternoon when they jumped into lake Taroko at Cherryvale. The lake is charged with electricity to keep would-be bathers out.

A piece of apparatus for determining the pressure of earth is being used in Marvin Hall by Prof. Frank L. Brown, of the department of mechanics. The pressure is determined by the use of a sand bin filled with sand at varying depths to determine its weight against a wall and from this record a scientific estimation of the earth's pressure can be reached. Professor Brown expects to carry on experiments extensively.

Mr. and Mrs. Coburn have made a special study of effects in outdoor performance with regard to setting costumes and lighting. Every scene is a delight of shade and color; every costume true to character and period.
