AGGIES OUT FOR BLOOD
K. U. Will be Hard-Pushed In Dual Meet at Manhattan Today
1.1.4
DOPE FAVORS JAYHAWKS
Every Man Primed For Race of the Year
A dual track meet with the Kansas Aggies will be pulled off in Manhattan this afternoon. This will be the annual outdoor meet of the two teams and with favorable weather conditions but with rainy or cold weather the meet is liable to anybody's before the afternoon is over.
AGGIES WILL FIGHT HARD
of course, Coach Hamilton is not expecting as easy a time as he had on the indie tour in February. The score at that time was only 66 to 19 with Kansas leading. At that time, also the Aggies were confident of victory even to the extent of writing 44 to 11 all over town after someone had doped the nectar to come out with that score. On the outdoor track no Aggie follower has proclaimed a victory but they are after blood.
The big indoor score did not cause Hamilton's proteges to become confident in the least. They learned their lesson in that respect last year when Kansas lost the outdoor meet by three points after winning the indoor fracas by a good margin. They will not lay down in this meet as every man on the squad has his fighting blood riled up. They are not going to let every one is going to do his share by winning or placing in his own race.
TREWEEK OUT OF IT
The Kansas cripples may be able to get into the going on the Agja track. Rodkey's foot has been through a number of treatments by Trainer Markley and is coming along all right. By the time the Valley meet is pulled off next week he will be able to show the Valley middle distance men that his leg is in first class shape. Treweeke, the other cripple from his final audition, He jerked his strained muscle again yesterday which makes things look bad in the jumps for the remainder of the year.
The line-up for the meet will be about the same as in the other meets of the year. As in the Missouri meet this year, the lineup will be in a number of different combinations. Rodkey and Fiskie will probably run the half mile unless Coach Hamilton decides to use Sproull in this event again. This combination did not feature the two runners, so our last week and a new one may be used against the men of Merner. Grady is sure to face the star Teeter in the two mile run and this should be one of the prettiest races of the season it proved to be on McCook last year.
RELY ON HURDLES FOR POINTS
RELY ON HURDLES FOR POINTS
The coaches are looking to their hurdles to get away with a few points in this meet. In the early meets this year the hurdles have always proved to be the best point winners for Kansas opponents and the Jawhayker team has never been remedied. Kansas needs a Simpson or someone to cover the sticks and the remainder of the team could take care of itself.
The team left Lawrence at 11:58,
this morning for Aggieville and
will remain until tomorrow morning.
The members of the team will serve as
officials in the annual invitation meeting
in school students Saturday afternoon.

SUNDAY SPECIAL FAILS
Committee Succeeded in Getting Seventy Students to Sign for Trip
There will be no Billy Sunday special train from Lawrence. Over-confidence on the part of many people that the trim was assured and that it would be easier later is responsible for the failure of the plan to make good. As the money and the names of the people had to be in the hands of the railroad men by October, they were seventy-five required names only seventy-signed, the plan was given up.
No further effort will be made to run a special train as there will be too many events at home to take up the time. You will have to next week and no one will have time to spare for the run, while this week the baseball games with Missouri, the invitation meet, and the canoe regetta with many private affairs will fully consume any time not spent in final experiments or library reading.

WOMEN KEEP A SECRET!
All the king's horses and all the king's men, and all the men at K. U. can't draw out the secrets of the Women's Spring Formal to be given in Robinson Gymnasium Saturday night, May 20.
Director McCanles with a four-piece orchestra will be there, but he says he doesn't know a thing except that he has been asked to play until 11:60, and that the Grand March begins at 8:30 sharp.
No One Knows—Yet What Wil Be Doing at Spring Formal
Miss Gladys Elliot, who is managing the Formal, condescended to tell a reporter today that 200 are ex-servants of the school who requested to mask. There will be good eats, and the serving of the dinner will be decidedly novel. The idea of the menu and serving of the repast sorrowed from Child's in New York.
Pomp, ceremony and fun are to be general features of the evening. Of course there is a receiving line, where you can wave to the crowd. The majority will do the line too, for after the masks are removed, one will discover without doubt that he, I mean she, has shaken the hand of some name favorite, the Teda Bara or Mrs. Catt.

GLEE CLUB TO
CONCERT IN ATCHISON
The Men's Glee Club leaves this afternoon for Atchison where they will give a concert similar to the one given there a month ago under the auspices of the Atchison high school. Sixteen men under the tutelage of Prof. Jude Downing and accompany Fred Brown '18 College and Phillip Steveens, 16 F. A., will make the trip. The men are making the trip as a sideline of the University activities and expect to have a good time as well as to represent the University. The possibility of a further trip to Kansas City next week and the opportunity to have had to be refused because of conflicting dates have encouraged the men and they are planning a number of events for next fall.
COLLEGES WANT PLAY
Other Universities Are Eager to Have "The Stuff of Laughter" Produced
The merit of Percy Shostac's phantasy, "The Stuff of Laughter," is shown by the recognition of critics from both the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin. Most critics were generous in their compliments of the play and want it put on at their respective schools.
Dean Lovett and Howard M. Jones, of the department of English at the University of Chicago, saw the play and said that the University would stand back of producing it at Chicago. Members of the Chicago Dramatic League were seen and a meeting of the league arranged, at which the financial submission and work was to be obtained, the financial obligations being considered too great for the University of Chicago to undertake alone.
The play was also seen and approved by Professor Dickerson, of the University of Wisconsin, who said conditions for staging it would be ideal in their open air theater at Madison.
According to Professor Shostec it
will be impossible to take the cast
away from Primo.
BIG SISTERS PLAN WORK

Agnes Hurtzler is chairman of the committee and Mable McNaughton, associate chairman. The nine capitals are twelve or fifteen "Big Sisters" are, Abigail Bixby, Alyse Bowley, Agnes Hackerot, Irma Larrick, Iva Scott, Frederica Johnson, Marie Buchanan, Stevenenson, and Janet Thompson.
THROW FEBBLES TO
WIN TENDER HEARTS
Cave Method Used at K. U.
The red-blooded youth of K. U. have
developed a new method of amorous
dwarfry.
It is a return to the principles of our forefathers, sometimes referred to as cave men. In more popular language; it is the way of red-blooded Americanism that is manifest in the new manner of fanning the teder flame.
This is how it works: Several Romes e gather beneath the open windows of the Administration Building. They toss pebbles inside hoping by chance to smite a fair maiden on the head and thus reach her heart. If she squeals, Romeo knows that his messenger of Cupid has hit home.
One good thing about this method is that it is fair to the girls. Pretty ones have no better chances than the others. It is true hit or miss.
Besides, it satisfies as nothing else can, the peculiar sense of humor which is found among men at the University.
Phi Alpha Tau, honorary dramatic fraternity initiated the following men night at the Acacia house: Don Davis, Bob Smith, Sidney Moss. Eusebio Dyer, Rhody Moore and Henry Bean, Derek Crawford, a feed was served at Brick's.
Prof. W. B. Downing has appointed Dora Lockett, '17 F. A., manager of the Girls' Glee Club for next year.
MANY HEAR OPINIONS
Societies Announce Pledges Ahokus Are Introduced and Explained
TWO WOMEN ON PROGRAM
Ada Dykes Scores Politicians In University
Fraser Chapel has not seen a bigger crowd in years than gathered this morning at ten-thirty to hear the student day speakers register their knocks and praises of the faculty, legislature and members of the student body. "What's the matter with K. U." was unofficially the question for debate, and it was well handled "om every angle."
Those acquainted with Student Day programs of the past pronounced the speeches this morning the most animated and earnest for many years. Those who feared that the program would be deadened by a woman speaker were mistaken for Miss Dykes showed much pep and easeness. Instead of being only one woman speaker as was announced in last night's Kansan, there were two, also American writing, chosen yesterday afternoon to speak Graduate School. The School of Education was the only school in the University that was not represented on the program.
The crowd this morning began to gather as early as ten o'clock and when the speakers filed on the platform at a few minutes past ten-thirty, the hall was crowded for several yards outside of the doors.
Fred Whitten, the speaker from the School of Law and Ada Dykes starred in this morning's work. Both Miss Dykes and Mr. Whiten spoke with great earnestness and the care with which they had prepared their first reading of the book and use of spicy language to hammome home the most important points led one of the later speakers to refer to them as Billy and Ma Sunday.
The crowd this morning was full of life. The Engineers, Laws, Medics, and even the College gave their yells. Sunday's famous hymn, "Brighteen the Corner Where You Are," was taken up and passed around by the various Lawmen. The Laws, who probably sing more than anyone else, got away with their attempt to engineer who took up the refrain next miserably to keep together.
The University of Kansas came in for its share of praise as an institute by two of the speakers who have attended colleges and universities. Clarendon and Kenneth Uhls both told of the high place Kansas holds in the estimation of the eastern institutions, and how our faculty was appreciated away from home then at home where we rub up against them every day.
The Kansas state legislature and the University Senate came in for their share of the criticism. Mrs. Eustace Brown and Percy B. Shostac also got special mention, as did a number of the other faculty members and students. For the most part the speeches were general, but Mr. Whiton also asked Jakes introduced the personal element more into their talks, and from the way the crowd applauded, the pointed criticisms and puns pussed.
Uncle Jimmy Green and Chancellor Frank Strong received their share of praise. The speakers paid special tribute to Uncle Jimmy Green.
CHAMBER
The Student Day convention was officially opened at 10:35 a.m. by singing the "Crimson and the Blue" and giving "Rock Chalk." Today was the first public appearance of Kenedey, the newly elected Cheerleader; Rock Chalk given under his leadership was one of the best given in years.
SACHEMS ANNOUNCE PLEDGES
SACHERS ANNOUNCES PLEDGES
Paul Greere, vice-president of the Student Council was in charge of the convoction of the evidence of Junk Herriott, the president of the College who had to catch the train for Manhattan at 11:30. After a few preliminary remarks concerning the purpose of Students' Day, Mr. Lamas, the president of the Sachems, announced the following pledges for the coming year: Paul Greere, Clyde Vanderlip, Arnold Nordstrom, Clyde Gelvin, Fred McEwen, Hallieck, Craig, Ivan Dahl, L. R. Miller, H. W. Lawrence, E. Homer, John Herriott, Kenneth Principle, Harry Joseph Gaitskill, Paul Deal, A. H. Weiters, and Herman Olcott as honorary member.
The next announcement on the program was that of the five most popular men in the senior class by the White Crows. The list follows: Ken Robinson, Tony Wood, Iceland Thompson, Tony James and Alexander Creighton.
HONORARY SOCIETIES LAUNCHED Coach McCarty spoke next, announcing the launching of a new society in the University for the pro-
