STORE PLANS COMPLETE
Co-operative Stock to be Sold to Members of Faculty Only
BOC EXCHANGE ALSO
100 Shares in Institution to Sell
at $5.00 Each
"At last, the plans for a co-operative book store have been formed, and although they have not been formally approved by the Board of Administration, we are assured that they will be sanctioned by the board," said Neal Ireland, former manager of the book exchange in Fraser Hall.
Ireland's plan is to secure subscriptions to the stock immediately, and call a mass meeting of the stock holders as soon as the necessary stock is subscribed, in order to elect a manager for the coming year.
Ireland, who has been manager of the movement for the co-operative book store will not be enrolled in the University next year, and it is his desire to hurry the thing through and get it started yet this year.
In connection with the book store there will be a book exchange similar to the one in Fraser Hall this year, and the exchange will be run on a commission basis, the money going towards Sventeen applications have been received for management of the store. Means of a Co-operative Book Store

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON. MAY 23, 1916.
The marriage of Genieve Walker '15 and Leland Angnevie, '14 has been announced for June 8, the wedding to take place in Salina, where Miss Angnevie was well known when in college, and was one of the most active Y. W. C. A. workers. She was a member of the first cabinet in her senior year, and was a graduate studentlonged to the Chi Omega sorority, Mr. Angevine was an engineer and a Theta Tau. He was active in the University Y. M. C. A. work. Mr. Angevine is now working in Fort Wayne where he will take his bride to live.
CHEMISTS TAKE TRIP
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, W. A. Whitaker, F. W. Bruckwimmer, and C. F. Nelson attended the first meeting of the Kansas City branch of the American Chemical Society at Manhattan Saturday. Experiments were demonstrated and papers read concerning important foods in the nutrition of stock, and the relative values of various paints for use on farm equipment.
Hogs are fed corn only, and their growth or lack of it is noted. Certain other constituents, such as proteins, are then added to the diet and the impurities removed are nourished on corn and bone meal; and the results in their physical appearance make it possible to discover which foods cause strength or fat or other desirable qualities. Manhattan hogs eat a diet of foods for hogs, cattle, and chickens.
K.U. Professors Attend Meeting of American Chemical Society at Manhattan
Durability of paints for use or barns, fences, and other equipment is demonstrated with a large board of paint. It can be applied with a different proportion of oil and pigment and also with various brands of paint. Exposure to sun, snow, and rain is noted and the farmer of Kanada needs to know how to wear the years the best and lasts the longest.
The experimental work done at Manhattan in chemistry is confined almost exclusively to methods of improving farming. The best and the cheapest way to do things about the farm is their ambition.
Success of Girls' Formal This Year Leads to Scheme for More Gatherings
PLAN MORE PARTIES
The Girls' Spring Formal Satur day night was such a success that Miss Elliot is planning three or four such functions for next year. The best one we probably be given just before that, then giving vacation and the others later.
Hakan has exclusive sales rights in
Douglas county and the city of Topeka.
"It is because of the co-operation and help of the girls that this party was successful," Miss Elliott said this morning, "and I want to thank all of them for what they did. We were so proud of the occasion as they did." The variety of costumes made it informal and jolly at the start. The Spring Formal will be an annual affair we hope, and we will put our best efforts on it." Miss Elliott congratulated us equally as she said, "We have some more good stunts we can put on, too."
For years reporters have been trying to discover new ways of putting themselves through school, only to find that some other man a few years ago was also using the system. But to Albert J. Hakan, c'18, from Kansas City credit must be given for finding a new one for the University's publicity agent to use next year in telling the people of Kansas how K. Petersen puts themselves through school.
WAS NOT IN THE BUREAU
Kansas City Student Didn't Get This Job Through Y. M.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Castlake with a party of friends mooted up from Kansas City Sunday to spend the day at their daughters, Helen and Marion.
Hokan is the first University student to become sole local representative for an automobile. He went to Michigan State to drive back a new Scripps-Booth motor car from the salesrooms of the Donald D. Davis Motor Car Co. Hakan had been making week-and-trips to the university's campus, where he followed week's expenses. The manager of the Kansas City Scripps-Booth salesroom became acquainted with him and conceived the idea that he would make a good representative.
Kansas Men Win the First Set —Missouri Wins the Second
START TENNIS MEET
PLAY DOUBLES THIS P. M.
Postponed From Morning Because of Light Rain
The dual tennis match with Missouri started on the McCook Field courts yesterday afternoon with Captain Teachon taking a victory from Fred Williams in straight sets 6-0, 6-1. But Missouri came back strong and found match where Loomis of Missouri defended Alice Cowill 6-2, 6-3.
Only two rounds of singles were played yesterday. The second round is scheduled for this afternoon at 3:30 and will be played at that time unless the judge determines Varsity courts. The doubles were scheduled for this morning but the light rain last night made it necessary to postpone the matches until tomorrow, when they played before the singles this afternoon if the courts are in shape.
In Teacher's match yesterday afternoon the Jayhawker captain had little trouble in taking Mr. Fred Williams of Columbia, Missouri, into camp. Elderly Teacher did not remember how hard he had to before the doubles come off so he started to end the game as soon as possible. It did not take him long either for the first set was a love set. Just to appear a little more human Teacher allowed his man one game on the next set making it more challenging, was enough and Freddie Williams had to be content with a lone game.
Allie Cowgill did not have such good luck with his opponent. Allie played a reserve game and lacked the confidence and experience which Teachers would expect, but it is only the second Varsity match that Cowgill has been in for the singles, and when playing by himself, showed his lack of experience. Loomis played a fine game but was erratic at times, and had to stop for this afternoon for the final round.
In the doubles, as in the singles, Cowgill will be Teacher's other man in this sheet. He has been showing a fine game of tennis lately and with the experience he will get in this sport, he can teach the teacher in the Valley meet in Des Moines this week in such a manner that the two will be able to bring home the big end of the tournament. It is possible that O'Brien will also learn how to be determined until the team leaves寝夜 night for the Iowa capital.
This afternoon's matches will be free.

FINALS CONSUME OIL
Investigators Determine Waste Caused by Approaching Quizzes
STATISTICIANS ALSO BUSY
Calculating Other Uses for the Quantities of Fuel
The vigil of the conscientious student grinding away in his "hole in the wall" burning the "midnight oil" will now occur nightly until the finals are past. Tradition has dictated to the undergraduate, the necessary courses, and of term themes, theses, and final reports on class assignments. Many years have come and gone since the institution of such traditional affair. With the constant pecking of the "Oliver" accompanied by the steady release of words from theuous leaves of paper, does the silence break for the unfortunate one using his meager quota of "kerosene." Panic-striken, nervous, and weak from worry, the unhappy one urges himself on to greater work, mindful of the importance before the St. Peter of the deadly on the millennium day of quixx week.
Time and again have estimates been made as to the enormous amount of oil burned during the bi-yearly penances of the sinner before judgment day. From one end of the student section to the other, blinding rays from the glare of the well-known light affronts one with their boldness. Oread declare that enough oil is consumed to furnish fuel for two Fords carrying five from Lawrence to Columbia and return. Some wiseacres have remarked that the wicks used in sponging the "juice" would furnish padding for double hattabs of the "Thundering Thousand" enmasse. Of globes and chinmasks cracked and smashed, enough glass has been wasted to pave a roadway an inch thick to the path of the office to Dean Tempelin's nature chamber across the hall. As for matches struck in the lighting of the beacon fires, if laid end to end, they would extend from Fraser to Spooner.
Divergent are the views held as to the relative value of the time-old light. Psychologists tell us that the most lasting impressions are the rehearsal of images, the custom age-old and finger-printed as it is. Educators insist that cramming by day and lamplight is a harmful and dangerous practice, detrimental in the last degree to the physical well-being of the individual. Be aware that when cramming, the contrary, the time-honored burning of the "midnight oil" will continue as long as the incubator system of education is promulgated.
NUMBER 158
A LITTLE BIRD DIDN'T TELL THE KANSAN Paper Scooped on Fountain
Paper Scooped on Fountain
The Daily Kansan must admit a scoop. To be beaten by robin red breasts, and jenny wrens is disgrace complete. The new memorial erected by the class of 1903, a cement bird bath, has been up a week, and only today did a Kansan reporter's keen eyes see the structure and go to investigate.
The bath is placed on the plot of ground just east of Fraser under a large pine tree, just far enough under to afford shade on the hot summer days, and far enough out to be in the cool cold. Already there are many kinds of birds rolicking and splashing and plumming their feathers in the cool, refreshing water, and then perching on the edge to bask in the sun. The new nest is built into the sun, in that it is very democratic and squarrels and orioles hobnob together.
This gift of a class, which graduated so long ago is an innovation at K. U., and the class of 1903 is the first to show its loyalty in this manner.
The class of 1914 will hold its annual reunion on June 6 of this year, during the Commencement Week festivities. Lelia Nevins, secretary of the class, will present every member, asking them to be present at the reunion. More than 100 people are expected to attend. The class will gather around the memorial bench which it presented to the Uni-员 and a lunchun will be served at noon.
CLASS '14 TO HOLD REUNION
ONE HUNDRED EXPECTE1
Webb Holloway, president of the class, and his friend Johnhie Madden, former editor of the Kansan, will be among those present.
Dr. Alice Goetz left this morning for Columbus, Ohio where she will visit her mother until Sunday. Dr. Goetz feels that she needs a short living space before she goes to work on her summer term of teaching.
ED. VAN DER VRIES TO BE MARRIED IN PAOLA

N. van der Vries, Ed. was one of the star athletes of Ed. was playing forward on the basketball team of UCLA and 14 and shortstop on the baseball teams of same years. He is now principal and coach of the Raolo high school. Miss Shelden has never attended the University of Kansas.
DON'T BELONG TO UNION
Sparrows Work Fourteen Hours Per Diem for the Life of the Elm Trees
The sparrow, the blackbird, and the robin are the most efficient enemies of these pests to human comfort and growth or lack of it is noted. Certain plant life the canker worm according to an investigation made by Mr. C. D. Bunker, curator of Dyche Museum, Mr. Bunker has just completed a study of one hundred birds killed three miles from Lawrence where the birds have an opportunity; to feed on any other insects or plan they care for.
In the stomachs of thirty-seven birds of eighteen different varieties the food was found to be 100 per cent canker worms, thirty-three contained only five and 16 less than 50 per cent and only five stomachs contained no canker worms.
The birds are proving themselves friends to trees around Lawrence by their extraordinary appetite for these pests. "The English Sparrow is carrying out hours every day and heads the list of our favorite troyers," said Mr. Bunker, "Besides eating the nuts that feed on lettuce, cabbage and roses."

R. Mott and Sherwood Eddy, will you get at the park, will tell in your lives long after the men themselves are gone. Number also, the part that K. U. has played here and there inferences. We have a standard to maintain among the universities and colleges of the west. It is the duty of every leader in our University life to attend Estes at least once during its sessions and for that duty there is no time like present, when the ex-governor of our state is willing to aid any man."

SENIORS LOSE DEGREES
Almost Half of Class Can't be Graduated Because of Too Many Threes
DEAN DEFENDS THE RULE
Say It Makes A. B. Mean More to Students
The College Faculty regulation requiring an average of two-thirds ones or two, threatens almost half of the senior class with failure to get degrees. There are about 250 in the senior class, a part of this number lack enough credits to graduate and only one percent satisfactory on their percentage of ones and two at the end of last semester.
The rule regarding threes came into effect last year and will not affect any work done previously. Although passed early last year the last graduating class was not held to it and there has been little consideration given the regulation by this year's rules, it is important in junior and ruraling and any student with more than 1-3 threes will be denied a degree. No consideration of the number of credits or stiffness of the courses is allowed by the rule.
DOUBTFULS CAN SEE REGISTRAR
Students who are doubtful regarding their standing may find their percentage figured up at the Registrar's office. Many of the students below the required standing at the end of last semester were there by a small number up during the present semester. If, however, the seniors under the minimum slow down this semester, the percentage will be even greater than reported at the end of last semester. Dean Olin Templin defined the rule this morning as an attempt to keep students from grading greens from the University. The old system he said allowed almost anyone to go out as a Bachelor of Arts who had the tenacity to keep repeating courses and skim through on three. That some restriction was necessary to graduate students. The Dean and Missouri, Wisconsin and other western universities that had adopted the mark system which is much more elaborate than the one used here. It requires so many marks for graduation as well as a certain number of credits. On marks are given on the quality of grades, threes counting as funks.
MAY REPEAL RULE
The Dean was wholly unaware of the number of students threatened by the present rule but said if it proved too harsh the college faculty having made it could also repeal it. The result would have value if it did not pinch enough to keep the straglers from obtaining degrees, was the opinion of Dean Templin. Several students have already applied for release from the rule.
In regard to a standardization of grades being a prerequisite to such a ruling as the college now has, which demands two-thirds ones and twows, the Dean said that such a system was impossible to work out. At the present time each of them should receive the grades given out by every other professor in his department as a standard for him to comply with. This custom according to the Dean has helped much to get a more uniform system of grading.
52. Proportion of High Grades Required for a Degree. A student in order to be accepted as a candidate for the degree must have received a grade of I or II at least eighty hours. Any student admitted to advanced standing will be accepted as a candidate for the degree only in case such student has received on admission one more step to adoption the proportion of high grades provided in the foregoing regulation.
FACULTY MAY ORDER
GOWNS OF E. M. BRIGGS
Instructions from the executive committee for commencement affairs have been sent to all faculty members to wear caps and gowns appropriate to their degrees in the commencement procession, on June 7.
Sixty members of the faculty have already expressed their willingness to meet this request of the graduating class, and the committee is urging all others to communicate at once with Prof. E. M. Briggs in the Gymnasium trophy room, so that he may take their measurements.
