TO TRAIN TRACK MEN
E. B. Markley, Hired to Get Injured Men Back Into Shape
WORKED FOR J.L. SULLIVAN
NUMBER 151.
New Addition to Athletic Force Once Trained Champion
E. B. Markley, the man who trained John L. Sullivan while he was heavyweight champion of the world, is the latest addition to the athletic staff of the University. Coach Hamilton decided that the only way to get his injured athletes into first rate competition was to get a first class professional trainer, "Doc." Markley is the man finally decided upon.
"There is wonderful material in this school," said Mr. Markley this morning, "and some really good athletes are sure to be developed if they will just pay strict attention to their training and work. I never saw a more likely bunch of men in my life, and I have trained quite a few athletes, too."
Trainer Markley started his career in athletics as a professional spinner, many years ago. His races were all at home and he won when professional foot-racing was a more profitable business than it is at present. He travelled all over the west and met and competed against some of the greatest sprinters of the
Finding himself adaptable to the work, Mr. Markley took up the training of athletes as a profession and has followed it ever since. During the bicycle craze he found many employ- ers with street races and trained not a few champion cyclists.
"I like especially to train track athletes and football players," said Mr. Markley, when asked why he had worked with Mike Murphy. "I worked for a year with Mike Murphy, the world's greatest trainer, while he was at the University of Pennsylvania, and I have learned a deal from him and his methods."
Trainer Markley says that Rodkey's foot is now in good condition, but a bit weak yet. He thinks, however, that the star middle distance running team has been victorious in his usual races against Mipsurl Saturday morning.
WRITES FROM THE ORIENT
Mr. Markley came here from Keokuk, Iowa where he trained the professional baseball team last winter. During the summer months he was employed by several bankers and business man of Keokau, whom he trained as a physician in the normal condition. He comes to the University with many good recommendations, and his work here so far has been entirely satisfactory.
"With a week more time," he says, "I will have Treweeke's肛 in excellent condition. The sprained muscles are slow to heal, but I feel as though the jumper will be able to do his best by the end of next week. It is even possible that we will get him in shape for the meet on Saturday."
Ittai Luke, '13, Tells of New Zealand Work
A letter from Ittai Luke, A. B. 1913, mailed from New Zealand, and received yesterday, tells of his experiences during three years on boardship. Luke left school at the end of the school year in 1913 to take a position on the U. S. S. Carnegie an物理ist in making magnetic
He states that he has been in Alaska, Panama, Iceland and Norway since leaving here. The ship is at present tied up in New Zealand and will proboble it until he lands of the war. His contract expires next month and he will be in Lawrence some time in January for a short stay.

OLD JAYHAWK YELL AGAIN
PROVES INSPIRATION
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 12, 1916.
The power of Rock Chalk Jay Hawk K. U. to lead the mobs is growing daily. A traveler in the east tells us that the Turks used the famous old yell as a battle cry and that the spirit enthused into the men resulted in the winning of the battle. But the achievement of the turks is great. Society-threil hit the trail Wednesday night in Billy Sunday's Tabernacle while 150 students of the K. U. Rosedale Medic School gave a Rock Chalk.
MAY FETE TOMORROV
If Rain Again Interferes, Festival Will be Staged Monday
Everything is in readiness for the May Fete except the weather; the rain necessitates postponing the Fete until tomorrow afternoon. Should it rain then, Monday is the date set. If it rains it will be Friday, May 19.
The joint rehearsal of the Latin chorus, orchestra and dances, Wednesday evening, proved that every feature was completed for the most elaborate May Fete given at the University of Kansas.
Fifty men and women wearing Greek robes sing the four choruses at intervals during the afternoon. After the first chorus, forty/libra carriers, women of the junior class, enter with their jars and make an offering to Apollo and the nine muses, who appear in a picturesque dance.
Diana and her followers, archery maidens and three small girls playing ball, enter with the spoils of the hunt in the background. A stuffed deer has been tied to two saplings in true hunter's fashion and will be carried by two of the goddess' followers.
Venus has an opportunity to display her charms and vanity in the Dance of the Roses. She carries a large gilded hand mirror and often forges to dance with her as she admires her charms in the never forgotten glass. She tires of the revels and retires to her throne, biding her rose bedecked followers to seat themselves at her feet. Pan, in the meantime, has made a frondy tree from Venus and Venus. He and his companions swing the wood nymphs and entice the archery maidens from Venus who admits her desertion by retiring to the woods.
Storm sweeps over the playground and the revelers seek shelter, only to appear the minute the rainbow predicts a clearing. Another jollification takes place to be disturbed again by real people of Earth. A crowd of children admire the day with a typical Grecian Cymbal Dance. This finished they finish the day with a wild and hilarious Bacchanal dance.

K. U. Fraternities and Sororites Entertaining Parents This
OBSERVE MOTHERS' DAY OFF FOR TIGER MEE
SEVERAL HUNDRED HERE
tain Today Will Cut Attendance and Prevent Fete for Visitors
The fraternities and sororities of the University are celebrating Mothers' Day this week end by entertaining over three hundred mothers who are coming in from all parts of the state. The majority of the Greek letter organizations will entertain for one day only, but two of the fraternities at Delta Tau have planned for two days of visiting and entertaining.
National Mothers' Day comes next Sunday, but Friday was the day chosen by the students because of the hopes of bringing in the May Fete and the tradition of a Laughter" as part of the entertainment. The rain today will probably cut down the number *o*, visiting mothers to a small degree, but most of the fraternities are expecting from visiting mothers in spite of the rain.
Two fraternities—the Sigma Chis and the Sigma Phi Sigmas have entertained the mothers, and the Acacias have made no plans for entertaining the mothers this year. The Alpha Kappa Pi Kappa, the Sigma Nus, Pi Kappa Alphas, Pi Upsilons, and the Phi Kappas will entertain their mothers this noon and tonight. The Bets and Phi Deltaes have planned their entertainment for tomorrow, and the Phi Gams will be the hosts for their mothers Sunday. The Sig Mats will be the hosts both Friday and Saturday. None of the professional fraternities have planned any definite entertainment for the mothers.
WANT REPRESENTATION
Journalism Students Petition Council For Student Day Speaker
Petitions have been presented to the Student Council by the Associated Journalism students representing over one hundred and fifty students in the department of journalism asking that their day speaker be allowed them.
"While the department of journalism is not a school in form, it has a large enrollment of a professional nature and should be represented on Students' Day," said Guy Serriwen, president of the Associated Journalism students this morning. "In the college, we have three hundred and fifty students, more than are in some schools of the University, are pursuing professional training of a distinct nature and have definite interests as common as those among Engineers or Laws. We are different from them only in the formal organization of the faculty administration. We have also hired body from those of other schools who work in our own professional societies and a general school organization."
Petitions were presented to the Student Council this morning;
FINAL LECTURE MONDAY
The Travelogue, a lecture on Yellowstone National Park, to be given Monday, May 15, at 4 o'clock, will be the last lecture for the year. It has been arranged for by the Committee on University Lectures and promises to be one of the most interesting of the year. It is open to the public.
"Travelogue" Will Close 1916 University Course
The motion pictures and slides accompany the lecture are complete.
NIGHT SCHOOLS
FOR ANY COMMUNITY
The Extension Division has announced that it will organize and endeavor to provide personal supervision of a night school in any community where twelve persons ask for such a school. This movement has resulted from the success of the North Lawrence Night School that has been conducted by several University men and women. All of the facilities of the division will be used as they are needed and these include not only instructors, lectures, pamphlets, and lecturers but recitals by men in the School of Fine Arts and the department of public speaking and men from the University bands and orchestra. This movement, it is hoped by the men in the Extension Division, will result in a more accessible program that have not as yet been accessible to the means provided by the University for teaching the people of the state.
Jayhawker Tracksters to Columbia for Annual Battle With Missouri
SLIGHT CHANCE TO WIN
K.U. Will Need All the Breaks to Take Saturday's Contest
(By Paul Brindel).
Nineteen Jayhawker track athletes accompanied by Coaches Hamilton and Patterson, left Lawrence at 8 o'clock this morning for College at James Madison in the annual K. U.-M. U. dual meet Saturday on Rollins Field. The squad will make exact connections in Kansas City, arriving in Columbia at four o'clock this afternoon, in time for four o'clock Tiger baseball series.
No predictions were being handed out by Coach Hamilton even after getting a last glimpse of the team in its final warm up practice on McCook Field. That the meet will be watched very closely, they will have to get every break. And only once, in the outdoor dual meet of 1914 did this miracle occur, and then Kansas won. So the coaches are not optimistic. With Trewekson and Rodkey in first class shape the outlook would be brighter but with a crippled team, it wouldn't be them, the K. U. team may lose by as big a margin as twenty points.
The team will be shifted slightly for the Tiger meet especially in the distances, if the advance list announced by the team is predicted in Wednesday night's Kansas, the two mile will be left to Groene and Staterdle, Grady and Hertriot handling the mile, and Spondril men on both sides. The best men on the team will be O'Leary who is scheduled for the hundred yard dash, the two-twenty, the quarter, and the relay. Coach Cham Hill expected to use him in all of them.
A list of the Kansas men and the counts in which they will compete follows.
100-yd. dash -Davidson, O'Leary.
120-yd. dash -Davidson, O'Leary.
120-yd. high hurdles -Elliott, Winn.
120-yd. high hurdles -Winn.
Quarter -Campbell, O'Leary.
Half mile -Sprout, Rodkey.
Mile -Grady, Herrnett.
Two mile -Statler, Groene.
Broad jump -Guzmitz, Tre-
High jump—Rice, Miller, Tre weeke.
Pole vault—Pattinson.
Pole vault—Fattinson.
Shot put—Capt. Reber, Small.
Discus—Reber, Small.
Relay-Elliott, Campbell, Rockey, O'Leary.
In addition to the above list, Coach Hamilton included Hilton and Fiske, although neither will probably get into the meet.
Next week will see the end of the regular gym work of the women classes. The swimming tank will be open to them every day except Friday, and those having cuts will have an opportunity to make them up.
Clara Scheuer, a special student in the School of Fine Arts and Allen Wilson, '16 Fine Arts, will give a concert in Pleasanton, Saturday, May 13

ROSEDALE HOSPITAL
CROWDED FOR ROOM
Chancellor Strong was at Rosedale Wednesday meeting with the administrative committee of the School of Medicine. They discussed a few changes and additions to the construction of the University to adapt it to the needs of the School of Medicine to the Board of Administration of the University for their approval at the next meeting.
The superintendent of the University hospital reported 67 patients in the hospital and their capacity as 65 beds. This is a rather common state of affairs but the applicants can not well be turned away.
NO TRAVEL CREDIT NOW
Gestion Only in Embryo Stage and Cannot be Decided Now
"The question of giving credit for travel study is still in the embryo stage" said Miss Eugenie Galloo, chairman of the committee, in an interview this morning. "It is such a big question that we will be able to decide this year. We have sent out questionaires to many universities to get their opinion of our proposed innovation. We hope to establish such a course, but we have reached no conclusions whatever as to the number of hours' travel required, or the amount of work required, or where the work should be done.
There has been an observation post recently established at Woods Hall, Mass., where students of biology in the eastern universities can go to study both the sea and land formations. Another post for biological study is situated on Punjab Sound. Our university has established these posts in order that the students of this University may perfect their study by actual research work.
This is an example of how this plan has been successfully worked out in the biological field and there is no doubt it will be effectively done in the department of geology, history, economics and foreign languages.
PICKARD ANSWERS CALL AND MAKES SOME NEWS. Runes for Women's Secretary.

The North Lawrence Night School, organized by several University men with the aid of the North Lawrence people, was so successful for the first time that the Lawrence Board of Education voted to maintain it for another three weeks.
NORTH LAWRENCE SCHOOL
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Last night Homer Talbot of the Extension Division spoke on "Community Building." Tonight there will be an old-fashioned spelling bee for the people of the school and their friends.
Next Friday evening Prof. Arthur Nevin, of the School of Fine Arts, will give a lecture-recital in the North Lawrence Christian Church which will close the session for the year. The school will be organized next fall under the Extension Division and the people promise the most enthusiastic support because of the results obtained this spring.
Now that Editor E. M. Johnson and Manager Ross Busenhack of the Jayhawker have completed the task of editing and putting on sale this year's annual, they will probably enjoy the last few weeks of the year browsing about the library and attending the different school activities, in order to fill in the time left after getting their regular lessons.
There is a new entrance to Green Hall, and so far it has been used by women only. The south window on the east side of the building is even with the ground and leads directly to the stage in Room 3. During the warm weather this window is open and makes a good entrance way; one does not have to elbow in, nor ask admittance.
Wilbur A. Fisher, '16 College, returned Sunday from Pola and Pleasanton where he had been to pitch two games of baseball for his home team, Tulsa. But Ball State in winters, allowing only five hits in the two games.

TRY TO CENSOR KANSAN
Anti-Cig President Attempts to Suppress Printing of Smoking Resolutions
HELD A MEETING IN GYM
Boxing Match Staged to Delight Anti-Cigs
An attempt was made yesterday afternoon by the president of the Anti-Cigarette League, Norman Greer, to suppress the article about the league's petition to the Senate to repeal the last night. Officers of the Anti-Cigarette League learned that a copy of the resolutions demanding that the University Senate punish all minors who smoked on the campus and any one smoking cigarettes, was to be published in the Daily Kansan.
THEORY THAT FACULTY CENSOR IT They came to the office as the paper was about to go to press and demanded of a member of the department of journalism that he suppress definition of being probably the first student to demand faculty control for the Daily Kansan's editorial policies. He urged such control very strongly in the conversation that followed.
"The Kansan is a student publication," said the instructor. "You will have to talk with some member of the Kansan Board about that."
"A good many persons think it is," said the instructor; "but they are wrong. This, and all other policies of the Board, are determined by the Kansan Board."
"In't the Kansan under faculty control?" demanded Mr. Greer. Ditch the department or journalism Ditch the department or fat. "In't it under faculty censorship?"
Then Mr. Greer unfortunately less his temper. "If the Kansan isn't an under faculty control, how is it that the journalism faculty can come out here any time and take out any story they want? And why can't you do it now?" Indeed furiously. "Is there kind of journalism you teach down here?"
"You can ask the Kansan Board about any thing that you wish to know," was the reply. "Personally I have nothing further to say to you, Your manners make further discussion by me impossible."
"Who is in charge of the news desk?" asked Mr. Greer.
"You've gone about it badly," said he instructor. "One good way to get hings done in this world is to keep our temper."
The instructor indicated the student who was making up the paper; and then Mr. Greer took up the debate again. Failing to get results, he spent some time looking up the editor, with little success.—Later on, he was observed reading the Kansan with even more interest than usual.
HAD THE SMOKER ALLEE SAMBER!
"He smokeless smoker came off just the way he should," said Larry. "She was enjoyed by all." The only stimulation was a lively boxing match; and as for Lady Nicotine, spouse of a famous singer, she insisted her name, her cars must have burned.
Chancellor Frank Strong spoke and compared the anti-cigs to the prohibitionists who withstood ridicule for years but were victorious in the end.
M NOT A CRANK"—MAC MURRAY "They were laughed at and made sport of similar to the way that our team did, but we did not Anti-Cigarette League, but they won out in the end and you will win out, too, if you keep fighting," he said.
"I am not a crank on the smoking proposition," Prof. Arthur MacMurray says, "I believe that every man should have the ability to smoke if he chooses to do so."
APPLAUDED FIGHT IN RING
A force boxing match between Harry Blount, of the Y. M. C. A. and Justin Blount, a freshman was received with delight by the Anti-Cig-ate the heavyweights of Harlan, who is an experienced boxer brought yells and applause as he maulped the younger man around the ring. About two hundred men attended the meeting.
