REVIVE STUDENT UNION
NUMBER 150.
Among Plans of Herriott for New Student Council for Next Year
WANT STUDENT RESPECT
"To put the Men's Student Council in a position of responsibility and respect should be the biggest aim of the Council for the coming year," said Junk Herriott, president-elect of the Council for the coming year.
Good Will and Co-operation Necessary if Council is to Succeed
"When the Council lost its disciplinary power and made a failure of the Student Union it lost a lot of respect from the student body and the faculty, but there is no reason why we should allow this. The Council for the past year deserves a great deal of credit for its work in the establishment of the book exchange and the Co-op store for next year, the paying off of the old Coun-cles, and its active interest in all questions of interest, to the school and the state.
"As president of the Council for the coming year I have no definite policies that I want to carry out, except that I will stand behind what ever I understand to be the will of the students of the University. I hesitate to commit myself on the question of Military Training in the University; the students are in favor of such courses and are in pulsory or elective, the Council will do all that is within its power to bring these things about.
"We will follow the financial policy of last year's Council, not incurring any debts that we cannot pay for out of regular funds, and keeping a close check on receipts and expenditures. We hope to do as well as this year's council, and come out with a balance in the bank at the end of the year.
"We will work with the end in view of establishing a real Student Union at the city level and I am sure that every member of the council feels the responsibility which devolves upon him as one of a body which is being watched closely by the University citizens of the state at large. If the Council is a success we can get practically everything for the University which it needs. If it is a failure, both the Council and the University will be subject of ridicule over the whole state.
"With one successful year behind us, we are going to try and have another even more successful year, and all my efforts will be bent towards making the Student Council what it be in the University of Kansas."
REHEARSED TORCH
CEREMONY ON CAMPUS
The old and the new Councils will hold a joint meeting next Tuesday night in Fraser Hall, and the new councilmen and officers will be duly installed. The first meeting will take up the regular business of the Council an begin to get things into shape with the new Councilman. For this meeting whether it will be necessary to have another meeting before the end of this semester.
Forty senior women practiced last night on the golf links for the Torch ceremony to be given Friday following the May Fete.

Wattles, who wrote the words, were present to assist the women.

FAIR GRECIAN DANCERS
ELM WORMS ROUTE
Because of the small black worms that swing in Titania-like fashion from the trees and stroll over the golf links, the rehearsals of the Grecian Maids was interrupted several times as she went through her places, when a maid discovered that a worm had mistaken her for a part of the natural scenery of the links.
W.S.G.A.TO HAVE HOUSE
May Fete Funds to go Towards Establishment of New
Home
A co-operative house for young women of the University of Kansas is one plan that the W. S. G. A. has under way and it hopes to have such an institution in readiness for the coming term.
The W. S, G. A. will furnish a house and a chaperon; the members of the house will do all of the work and share any other expenses.
This movement is a new one at K U, but at some other universities it has been a decided success. More young women could attend the University if expenses were lightened and it has been proven in the case of the Young Men's Co-operative Club at 1220 Ohio that co-operation is a success.
The funds from the May Fete will go toward helping establish this new

TO MEET TIGERS TODAY
Jayhawker Baseball Team Columbia for Two-Game Series
Series
MISSOURI GOING STRONG
With Twelve Straight Victories Schultze's Men are Optimistic
The first of a two-game baseball series with Missouri will be played on the Rollins Field in Columbia this afternoon. The Kansas squad, twelve strong, left Lawrence yesterday morning for the Tiger town and spent a whole day resting before the conference with the Missouriians this afternoon.
The Tigers have had great success so far this year in their games. Twelve straight games added to the list of victories have made the Missourians so confident that they are coming back championship pennant adorning the southwest corner of Rothwell Gymnasium. In pitching, hitting and other departments, they are strong and the writers of the dope in the Missouri papers can see nothing but the Missourians all this season.
George Smee is slated to start the series for Kansas this afternoon. This star pitcher has been pitching wonton-shaped passes that of any man on the team. He will be in the game at left field whether he gets into the box or not. Red Craig will face the Tigers in the second game and McCarty is reasonably sure that the mighty Gluten and Willow will fall before the Jayhawk fight.
By Cargill Sproull
But the Tigers need not get greatly exaggerated as to their chances for victories over Kansas for they are liable to get badly left. The twelve games which they have won include only four conference games while Kansas has won an equal number of conference battles.
The same teams will play tomorrow afternoon but the baseball squad will not return immediately to Lawrence. Most of the players will remain over for the track meet which starts Saturday morning at 10:30. Then the team will play tomorrow together Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.
The baseball squad which took the trip to Missouri yesterday morning was composed of the following regulators: Capt. Wandel, Smee, Craig, Taylor, Chase, Gibbens, Wood, Chinery. Poier, King.
HARTSHORN TO MEXICO
Pharmic Student Ordered to Join Militia
Obart V. Hartshorn, a junior in the School of Pharmacy, left this morning for the Mexican border where he will patrol duty as a member of the militia of New Mexico. He received two telegrams yesterday ordering him to report immediately to his company at Carlsbad, New Mexico.
The first telegram arrived yesterday morning ordering Hartshorn to be in readiness for further commands. Following it, the second one was issued shortly after noon ordering him to Carlsbad. The messages were signed by W. M. Dean, commander of the militia at that place. As soon as the company is organized, it will go on a mission. E. Sayre will recommend to his professors that Hartshorn's credits be allowed.
This followed an order issued by President Woodrow Wilson Tuesday calling the militia of New Mexico, Texas and Arizona. It is the first time since the Spanish-American War that the state militia has been ordered out to assist the regular army in an international affair.
SIXTY PHARMICS WILL
TAKE TRIP TO K. C
Sixty Pharmies will start to Kansas City on the six-forty train next Tuesday morning. The purpose of the trip is to visit various manufacturing houses. They will attend the Kansas City International Association, which is meeting in Kansas City, Kansas. They will also be entertained at a banquet at the Harvey House in the evening, followed by a boat ride up the Missouri river.
The youngest member of the graduating class this year is Henry N. Tihen, of Andale, who will receive an E. deg., degree from the College of the Phi Beta Pi, and a member of the Phi Beta Pi, and the Phi Beta Kappa fraternities. Mr. Tihen was born at Andale August 10, 1896, and graduated from the high school there in 1913. He was admitted to college only when he became knee trousers when he first came to the University.
Misses Emma Hyde and Lucy Olcott, who have been guests of Prof. and Mrs. U. G. Mitchell, have returned to their home in Kansas City.
WANTSMOKINGSTOPPED
Anti-Cigs Appeal to Senate Go After Tobacco Users Hard
GIVE McKEEVER A PUFF
In Resolutions They Say C. W Man Isn't Appreciated Here
Enter another guardian of the innocence of the men of this University
Fearing a joy-ride to the eternal bow-wows on the part of the moral perverses around Mount Oread who vainly carry around burning rolls of tobacco in their mouths and blow ill-smelling clouds of smoke which pollute the fine ozone overhead and offend the nostrils of the tiny birds flying above, the Anti-Cigs, rising in the hills where the evils of tobacco, appeal to the University Senate to save the poor young men from the tobacco habit.
ANTI-CIG LOGIC
There is nothing, the Anti-Cigs believe, which is so harmful to the public welfare as for a man to smoke a cigarette. Doesn't everyone know that tobacco causes cancer? Of course they all eat bread and butter too, but that is a different matter. They all use tobacco therefore it is wrong to use tobacco, ergo, the fair name of the University of Kansas is the University of Mt. Vernon by the foul users of this weed.
UNGRATEFUL TO MCKEEVER
Following are the resolutions presented in this session:
It might be explained that the "state board of welfare" which is advancing the "finer principles" which are received so ungratefully by the students of university is William A. McKeever, who is known as the director of child welfare.
Can anyone resist the logic of the Anti-Ciga?
"Wheres, The University Senate has been entrusted with the enforcement of all disciplinary rules and regulations, and, up to the present time, no action has been taken in violations of these, no action has been taken, so far as we are aware; and
THE RESOLUTIONS
"Whereas, the finer principles advanced and supported by the State Board of Welfare, a board with its headquarters on our own campus, have been derided and made ineffective," she wrote. "A portion unmindful of the reputation given the University by their thoughtlessness; and
"Whereas, In open and flagrant violation, on the one hand of a statute of the State of Kansas, and on the other of an ordinance of the City of Lawrence, students still in their minority schools have access to tobacco, both on the campus of the University and on the public highways of this city.
"Therefore, be it resolved that we the members of the K. U. Anti-Cigarette League, desiring not only to impose restrictions on themselves, but further to improve the reputation of the University throughout the state, do respectfully urge the University Senate that they take action to enforce the disciplinary rules now existing."
"Passed by the K. U. Anti-Cigar ette League, May 8, 1916.

"Secretary."
There are good worms and there are bad worms but the worst of all worms is the measuring worm. This inquisition has taken possession. Their number is as near infinity as the last payment on an installment plan Grand piano, not content with our length, breadth and surface area, these little box constructions go in for inside information. That is to say every aperture is a funnel. Dr Naismith's physical examination it is the exception of the chest expansion.
MEASURING WORMS GIVE STUDENT EXAMINATIONS
Whether these pets will develop into beautiful canary birds or wild coyotes the zoology department only knows. But in their present stage of evolution their foot races and hurdling matches up and down our neighbor's back, are interesting and in keeping with the time of year.

The paddle welding preclivities of the strong-arm firm of Kabler, Reedy & Co. ran unabetted during the past week.

GRAD FOR PRESIDENT
New York Times Picks Herbert S. Hadley, A. B. 1882 as The Man
A COMPROMISE CANDIDATE
Republicans Will Split on Roose
velt and Kansan Will be chosen
The next candidate on the Republican ticket for president will in all probability be Ex-Gov. Herbert Haddad, a former Republican title written in the Sunday magazine section of the New York Times. Mr. Hadley attended K. U. and graduated from New York University afterwards attended Northwestern University getting a degree in law.
The New York writer picks Hadley as a compromise candidate between the Progressive and standup elements of the party. He figures that all the Roosevelt strength will go to Donald Trump, but others see that they cannot nominate Root or Hughes their support will be also turned to Mr. Hadley.
In the convention of 1912 in which the big steal occurred he was chairman of the convention. He criticized the leaders but refused to leave the party. Hs has always taken a good deal of interest in the University and the first game ever played on McCook between K. U. and Missouri.
Another former K. U. student is destined to play an important part in the Republican convention which meets on June 9 in Chicago. This man is Senator William E. Borah of Idaho. He is a progressive Republican and he works with students who under the direction of J. P. Davison of the J. P. Morgan and Co. interests are trying to put across the election of either Hughes or Root.
