DEANS ELECT MRS. BROWN
Kansas Advisers of Women Organize; Conference Ends
The first session ever held by the Kansas Deans of Women will close its meetings some time today after a most enthusiastic and beneficial session. "The best evidence of the good being gathered from these meetings is what we saw this morning, "is the fact that all of the women seem to leave."
A permanent organization has been formed in the two days' meeting, with Mrs. Eustace Brown as chairman and Miss Whitney of the Kansas State Normal as secretary. The Deans have decided to meet annually for the discussion of the problems confronting them in their work. All of the state Deans are welcome to have their men's Deans and several of these sent faculty members to the conference while considering the creation of such an office next year.
Women have grown up with the coeducational institutions and the problems there have never been considered in an organized fashion as the present organization intends to deal with chairmen's experiences and ideas in the annual meetings the deans expect to get much better results from their work.
Golda Jones and May Hart, of Fremont, and Marjorie Hudson of Baldwin spent the last of the week at the Mu Phi house.

Senate to Arrange Celebration of K. U.'s 50th Birthday
A special meeting of the University Senate has been called for this afternoon at 4:30 for the purpose of considering plans for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the University. As this is the Senior meeting of the year some defined working plans are expected to be made.
The semi-centennial anniversary will celebrate the date that North College was erected. The first session of the University opened there on Sepember 1855. University was provided for in the first constitution of Kansas territory at Topeka. Two years later Lawrence was chosen as the location. In 1861 Congress set apart and reserved for the University its university, seventy-two sections of land. The University was organized by the legislature in 1864.

TEAMS TO MEET TIGERS
Hamilton and McCarty Will Invade Misso uri This W
BASEBALL GAMES FIRST
Rodkey Can Run Two Races But
Treweeke is Out
Freweeke is Out
Forty Kansas athletes commanded by Generals Hamilton and McCarthy and Captains Reber and Wandel are going to invade Columbia, Missouri and take control of the "bacon." The meat in this case will consist of two baseball games and a track meet and it will take some time before being able to get the dope 'from the Tigers.
McCarty will take thirteen baseball players to the Tiger village tomorrow morning for the two game series. The line-up will not be announced until the final practice this afternoon. Smee will probably be the choice of McCarty for the first game against Eller. These two men who have both played this game will have a real battle Thursday. Craig will be on the mound for the second game unless McCarty chooses to use him in the first game.
In fact, it is going to be Kansas week in Columbia. The Missourians will attempt to make it Missouri week at the expense of the Kansans. The baseball squads will be the first ones to get into the mix-up on Thursday and Friday while the track squads will get into action Saturday.
For the first time in the history of the University Missouri, Columbia's daily newspaper published by journalist students, a young woman, Miss Gladys Baker of Columbia, was elected to the board of directors last night.
Missouri has been going at top speed this season winning twelve. Only four of these were conference games, and the ber that McCarty's men have won from Conference schools. These two games will have an important bearing on the Valley title and without a doubt a large crowd to the Rollins Field.
Miss Lucie Price of Fredonia, was the guest of Margaret Young, at the Sigma Kappa house Friday and Saturday.
The track teams will also have one of the closest matches in the history of the schools. It will have to go some to be closer than the indoor meet this year but it can easily be closer than the one-sided outdoor meet last spring. With Trewecke out of the jump being the strained muscle in his leg, the Kankakei must mightily slimp. The Jayhawker star is sure to be on the sidelines and it is possible that he will not get to go on the trip. Coach Hamilton has hopes that his jumper will be in shape for the Aggie meet next week. The other injured track star, Rodkey, is getting along nicely and with careful nursing and foot he will be able to run at least. The Tigers are distance men are in good shape and promise to sweep up a few points in these events.
The baseball team leaves tomorrow morning for the Tiger town while the track squad will not leave until Friday morning, arriving in time to see the second baseball game. The baseball team will remain for the track squadrade and both teams will come back to Lawrence Sunday morning.
LAST ADDRESS TO K. U.
Woman on the Missourian Now
Prof. Becker Will Launch System of Faculty Lectures.
The last public appearance as a professor in the University of Kansas Prof. Carl Becker of the department of history will be Thursday, 4:30 p. m. at Fraser Hall. His subtitle is "Being a Professor," which he characterizes as written "By one whose early training was not of the best."
Professors Becker and Ogden were put on the program this spring because neither of them will be on the faculty next year. Professor Becker will occupy a higher salaried position at the University of Minnesota and Professor Ogden will be the head of the department of education at Cornell University.
Professor Becker's address will launch a system of faculty lectures worked out under the supervision of Dean Olin Templin. Next year there will be one address per month by some member of the faculty in Fraser Hall.
"We go to a great deal of trouble getting outside men here to lecture," said Dean Templin this morning, "when we have many capable and in our own institution who should be given a chance to talk to the students."
Prof. R. M. Ogden of the department of psychology will give the second faculty address this year Thursday, May 25.
MYSTERY IS BREWING
BIG STUNT IN GYM SOON
Underclass Women Are Or "Inside Looking Out"
Out"
But Participants Won't Give Out
Dope
A mystery is brewing in the Robinson Gymnasium. On May 20, at eight o'clock, it will be solved. Freshmen and sophomore women are concerned—in fact it is they who are doing it. They are ostensibly giving a spring formal for upper classmen but in reality no one knows just what is going to do. Each class has a teacher who knows anything about, and will not know anything about until the aforesaid date.
Just now the May Fete is taking the time and interest of the gym classes, but next week they will start work on their various stunts, and all the "Kings" horses and all the Kings' men" can't persuade those mysterious underclassmen to part with their precious secrets.
The invitations for the party will be out some time the last of this week, A, and freshmen and sophomores are out now to insure against some rival-man.
“This is the first time such a party ever took place here,” said Miss Elliott, who has charge of the plans, and told me that it was a success, perhaps even a custom.”
People who do not dance need not fear to go, for they will not be bored to death. There will be something doing all the time for them and for any one else who finds it too hot to dance. In between the dances these people will take place, and if for nothing else, they will worth while, for these stalls start up.
LITTLE BROTHER
ASSERTS HIMSELF.
To Perform Carnegie Stunt
Having grown to be a sizable kid, and having his own ideas of how things ought to be done, the Daily Kansan's little brother, the Summer Kansan, announces that no will trail with the "free" crowd this summer.
"Fact is," he says, "this thing of being a near-free sheet is humilating. The idea of taking 25 cents for six week's subscription is too much for a boy's pride. I'm gon' the whole road to do a little Carnegie stilt of my own."

SENIOR WOMEN WILL MIX
This will be practically the last opportunity that senior women will have to get together for an informal good time," said Clara-Gene Dains this morning, speaking of the "picnic-mixer" of the senior women to take place on the golf links tomorrow evening.
Last "Get-together" of Year; To Rehearse for Fete
"It will also be the last chance to practice for the May Fete," Miss Dains added, "and we hope that all will turn out—for both reasons."
The women will meet at Robinson Gymnasium at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon and will then have their picnic supper on the links. Fifteen boys, girls and the supper.
After the lunch, a short practice for the Fete will be held.

PHARMICS CELEBRATE
Daddy Sayre's Day Is Being Observed With Games and Banquet
In observance of the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Kansas, the first annual Pharmic Day is being held today. After this year the day will be officially known as the Pharmacy Day honors of the dean who has directed the school since its beginning in 1885.
A baseball game this afternoon between the jumors and seniors and a banquet at the Eldridge House tonight will be the most important of the entertainment features of the day. The event will be held in the park's banquet. B. A. Parsons, of the Parke-Davis Company, Kansas City, will be the principal sneaker.
In the thirty years of its existence, the School of Pharmacy has grown until it has a faculty of five with three assistants. Sixty students are enrolled in this school and areized and held to a high mark professionally. Dean Sayre has established the reputation of the school throughout the country and has contributed extensively to the scientific literature over the twenty years he has been at the University.
The school originally occupied the rooms now used by the Daily Kansan but it is now housed in the Chemistry Building.
COB PIPES TO BE SUPPLIED
But Each Man Must Bring His Own Fuel
New Kansas songs will be sung at the next corn cob smoker to be given by the sophomore class probably Thursday, May 18. The committee in charge has not definitely set the date. A director for the songs will be chosen from the faculty of the School of Fine Arts.
Twenty-five faculty men and twenty-five seniors, according to Billy Koester, chairman of the committee will be invited to the smoker. Men from the other classes will also be there.
Corn cob pipes will be furnished to all who attend but each man must bring his own tobacco. The smoker was planned for this week but was postponed on account of the May Fete.
A feature smoker to be given sometime before quiz week is promised if this corn cob smoker turns out good. It will be different from other smokers that have been given—a new idea in smokers.
Dye Yards of Cloth for Fete
Within the last ten days the girls who are to take part in the May Fete have dyeed over 3,000 yards of maida recently, will give the result of the dye experiment dipped several times, but all of it is now ready for use. The girls who took part in the dying reported that they never had had more fun in their lives, and of the fact that they had a hard time dying to get the dye off their fingers.
Wetmore Visits K U
Alexander Wetmore, '12, of the Biological Survey of Washington, D. C., is in Lawrence, today. He is on his way to Corvine, Utah, near the Great Salt Lake, where he established an experiment station so that Mr. Wetmore can study the wild duck diseases prevalent near the salt marshes. Mr. Wetmore was an assist-taker at Museum before he took up the work of the biological survey at Washington.
The girls' section of the gymnasium looks like a street carnival or an old-fashioned quilting bee since the May Fete costuming has commenced.

TO CREDIT TRAVEL STUDY
Advanced Students May Receive Credit for Study Done Abroad
To consider the plan of giving college credit for travel study abroad the University Senate, Miss Eugenia Gallo, chairman, and Professors, W. J. Baugartner, H. B. Cady, J. N. Van Dier Vries and Boyton, will meet all this full time.
The proposal is to give travel courses extending over a period of several months by which advanced or graduate students may perfect their work in a practical way through study at various foreign points.
Study of this kind would apply particularly to the departments of foreign languages, history, biology, and geology, where the most value in these lines of study.
A similar plan has been successfully carried out at the University of Minnesota.
Don Davis, a former track star at K. U., was one of the officials in the Kansas-Nebraska meet Friday. He is the business manager at Kansas City, Mo.
Dr. C. F. Nelson, of the School of Pharmacy, addressed the Pestle Club last week at the Sigma Chi house on Biological Chemistry.
