Printed as Novel
In addition to the "Racing the Deadline," film one reel of the latest Bray comedy cartoon will be shipped to Lawrence on special order to be run with the newspaper pictures to be shown in Fraser Chapel at 7:15 P.M. Wiggins wired for the latest Bray picture to be rushed immediately.
For years the newspapers have been telling the secrets of the great dramatic stars, but not a word has been said about the mysteries of the newspaper office. It is the purpose of "Racing the star to show, by show, how the stars in newspapers on large metropolitan dailies, just how the wheels go around."
"Racing the Deadline" was printed as a serial in the Chicago Tribune before it was written as a scenario. The newspaper, a 1930s newspaper picture, the editor of the Tribune gave permission to film the story. The plot centers around the quickness of a young reporter who trying to get his scoop into the last edition.
"Racing the Deadline" will be shown in Lawrence once Saturday night at 7:15 o'clock in Fraser chapel. A Bray cartoon will be added to the program and the concert grand piano will be played with the pictures.
FACULTY MEN ENTER RING
Baumgartner and Foster to Box Friday Night
The first of a series of jubilee meetings to arouse interest in the Estes Park Conference will be held in Myers Hall Friday night at 7:30 o'clock. The meeting is open to all who have been to Estes Park, to those who have admitted to go, this summer and any who are thinking of making the trip.
A boxing match between George O. Foster and Prof. W. L. Baumgartner will be one of the stunts of the evening. Later Justin A. Blount will meet Harry Harlan in a fistic encounter. Songs by a colored male quartet and a banjo stunt will serve to entertain the audience. Eats will be served.
Phases of the Estes Park Conference will be told by different speakers, who in years past have spent part of their summers at Estes. Chancellor Randy Todd, Rex Mertler and Edward Todd are among those who will give speeches.
AntiCigarette Meeting Postnomed
The anti-cigarette cruisers did not hold their meeting last night in Fraser as they had planned. The meeting was postponed until Wednesday, April 19. Prof. Charles Cochran will deliver his address on "The Evils of Cigarette Smoking" at that time.
The most humiliating thing on the campus is not a freshman cap. It's the way you look and the things you feel, when you trip on the small section of pipe that protudes two inches wide. You can't show hall. It takes a man his whole first year at college to become accustomed to this little annoyance.
HEMISTRY PROFS WILL
ATTEND URBANA MEETING
Professors E. H. Bailey, H. P, Cady,
F. B. Dains of the department of
chemistry; F. W. Bruckmiller, water
laboratory chemist; W. A. Whitaker,
associate professor of metallurgy and
L. E. Sayre, Dean of the School of
Pharmacy, will leave Monday night for
Urbana, I., to attend the annual
meeting of the American Chemical
Union. The Chemical Society has more than 7,000 members composed of the leading chemists of the country.
All of the meetings will be held in the new $500,000 chemical laboratory of the University of Illinois, which will be dedicated during the convention. The university's Electrical Co., Governor Dunn of Illinois, and the president of the University of Illinois, will be among the well-known speakers who will address students at the iron ameliorators at Danville to study the exposition of chemical products.
FOUR O'CLOCK A. M. POOR
HELLO HOUR
Hard on Central's "Beauty'
"J'you have anything stiring last night on the wire, Mabel?"
"You tell the world, Violet," the telephone operator made answer between the fourth and fifth clinch with the Spearmint. "Had a fish wake me up from my beauty about four this morning calling for ___"
"Everybody is probably asleep there," the sister person whispers into the rubber, "so please operator don't ring but once," Yknow Violet I c'stand most anything but a woman trying to kitten me at four in the morning and me needin' the beauty. 'Oh I'll get him, rest easy,' I answers, and I'm ready, open until he came down stairs. I know he says, 'he'll be, hells' soft, and easy. He
"Did you flash the night watch?" "Nope, I knew he was harmless—recognized the University bark. When she came in, you guess it? Yep, a sorority house. He says, 'they're all asleep, so only ring once.' I did, four times.
"You're right, they're all asleep," trickled back at him and jerked the plug. I just got settled and was dreaming about a hat for $2.98 but the bauer gotuzer had gone again and I knew that someone up at the ladies' infirmary had woke up."
"Its that you Richard?" she purred I told you she was kittenish didn't Violet? Then he answers, sort o nervous like, "It is I, Helene."
"I just knew it was going to be good. Gee Kid—" Say Violet, lean over here, I want to whisper to you."
CAN ENROLL BY MAIL
IN SUMMER SESSION
According to Dean F. J. Kelly, of the University School of Education, who is director of the summer session, students expecting to attend summer school may enroll in desired classes by mail. They will then be assured of registering in the courses after reaching Lawrence.
This convenience will probably be of value to school teachers and others who want to attend the summer school but who will be unable to come to Lawrence until the opening day, which is June 8. Registration will take place in the dean's office any time after June 5.
The laws have begun to make improvements upon their steps. They have a sette for those who become tired of standing.

DO YOU KNOW
Landladies Prefer Men Because They May Keep Their Own Hours
WOMEN BREAK DATE RULE
Committee Submits Rules to W.
S. G. A. Governing Houses
A serious shortage of rooms for girls attending K. U. is threatened, according to Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, because Lawrence landlades prefer to have boys as tenants.
"The unfair thing about the attitude of so many of the women," said Mrs. Brown, "is that they object to girls because they do not keep the rules such as the eleven o'clock rule, and prefer to take boys who are governed by no such regulations and can keep their own hours."
But the shortage of satisfactory rooms is threatened just the same. At the start of the present school year, six landlords who previously rented their rooms to girls, decided to request a good vacant room for a girl, uncovered the information that only two which would meet the specified requirements were available. Today Mrs. Brown made public five requests made by the recently ordained association of landlords for K. U. girls.
RULES ARE NECESSARY
**WOLES ARE NECESSARY**
"We feel that it is absolutely necessary that such children be adopted if the caretaker at K." booming houses desire women to open good homes to girl students," the committee explains.
The requests are addressed to the Women's Student Government association.
First, That all rooming house rules apply to the graduate students and visiting girls the same as to all other students.
The landlads' committee asks;
Second. That study hour begin at 8 o'clock week nights.
Fourth, that no daytime dates be allowed except that out-of-town guests, must not be allowed to move during a semester until a vacancy is properly filled.
Third, That the hour for closing
rooming houses be changed from 11
o'clock Friday and Saturday nights
to 10:30
g'clock all three nights.
The requests were read at a meeting of the officers of the Women's Student Government Association yesterday, but no action was taken as the new officers were only installed yesterday.
All the churches of Lawrence and the Lawrence Choral Union will welcome in offering to the people of Lawrence and the University a union service to be held in the Robinson Gymnasium, and the community will welcome. The meeting will be after the nature of a community sing with the choral union leading.
TOWN PEOPLE TO SING;
ALL CHURCHES TAKE PART
The soloists of the evening will be Mrs. Herman Olcott, Miss Cora Reynolds, Miss Clara Scheurer, Gola Coffr, R. C. McIlhenny, Mr. Foster, and others to be sung by the audience under the leadership of Professor Downing.
There will be no admission charged and no collection taken.

FACULTY COMMITTEE
TO CORRELATE COURSES
A committee made up of members of the University faculty, are making frequent trips to the Static Normal Schools at Emporia, Hays and Pittsburg, for the purpose of bringing about a closer correlation of the work of Normal Schools with that of the University. We will be held at the three normals to ascertain conditions and to learn the point of view and the ideas of Normal School faculties on all matters in which co-operation is desirable. Later a general conference will be held, the results of which will be re-examined to identify security issues for such action as they may deem wise and expedient.
Prof. Arvin Olin, instructor in the School of Education said when seen this morning, that little has been accomplished so far.
TO HAVE SPECIAL CAR
Chemicals Will Travel in State on Inspection Tour to The East
A special car will carry Prof. W. A. Whitaker and ten chemical engineers from Kansas City next Monday evening for a week's trip extending as far as Chicago. This is the fourth annual inspection trip made by the seniors and juniors of the department to prepare them to make such a trin before graduation.
The following men intend to go this year: W. Prof. W. A. Whitaker, Drew T. L. Mang, Roy O. Neal, Drew T. Beckley, Walter A. Goldtrap, Lloyd E. Jackson, Paul D. Satterty, Harold L. Lentz, James H. Holden, Ernest A. Todd and Samuel E. Campbell.
"The purpose of these trips," professor Whitaker, "is to give the men an opportunity to gain knowledge of the work done in large manufacturing industries. This trip to them corresponds to an internship for a doctor. They get a chance to see what they have learned in the laboratory worked out in a practical way."
The sight-seeing will extend over an entire week, some being done at stop-overs on the road. Tuesday will be spent at the University of Illinois, at Urbana, where the party will attend the National Convention of the American Chemical Society, and inspect the new Chemistry building.
The largest cement plant, that of the Universal, Portland Cement Co., and the world's largest steel works, are to be visited Wednesday.
Three K. U, graduates will be seen during the trip, J. W. Schwab, an inspector at the Gary plant, and Ellrol M. Welch and L. A. Benn, at the Inland Steel Co, Chicago, to be inspected Thursday.
The University Glee Club
The Standard Oil Co. is giving the students the opportunity on Friday of seeing the processes by which petroleum is refined and, on the same day, they will inspect the Sherwin-Williams Paint Co., noted for its special processes of preparing paint. The process of preparing paint and Karo syrup will be demonstrated Saturday at the Corn Products Refining Co., and a visit to the chemical laboratory of Sears Roebuck & Co. will complete the day.
There will be no Indoor Circus this spring according to H. A. Lorenz. Too many vaudeville shows and other académies have seasoned for not giving the stunt this year.
FIRST TENNORS — Gola Coffelt, Rag Gafney, Thomas McClung, Eber Jolly, Hary Harlan. SECOND TENNORS — Chas, S Sturtevant, Ei D Darby, George Berg, Paul Sautier. FIRST BAMERS — Orla Holmes, M. John Music, John Hamilton, Symon Courcrot. SECOND BAMERS — Dilek Govin, Fred Pausch.
500 IN GREEK PAGEANT
The Staging of the Ancient Mythology Will Take a Huge Cast
TO BE PRESENTED MAY 12
Marvin Grove Will Furnish Setting for Production
More than 500 University women are expected to take part in the Greek pageant which will form the afternoon program for the May Fete given May the 12th on the golf links close to Potter Lake.
CHORUS DANCES THROUGH GROVE
An Alma Mater to be chosen by the senior women from among their number, will first enter with her companions, Knowledge, Poetry, Romance, Truth, Music, and Inspiration, and with her attendants the other women of the senior class. Then the Greek pageant begins.
how now.
Pan and his companions first appear among the trees dancing to the music of their pipes. As they sweep across the green, a trumpeter enters announcing the coming of the Bacus the ibibun sacrifice is offered to Baquil by the maidens who are in reality seniors of the class of 1916 of the University of Kansas. At this point a Greek chorus consisting of twenty-five men and women sings a Latin poem symbolic of the revels of Venus before the first of May.
CUPID IS ROBBED OF HIS ARROWS
Then Apollo, represented by J. B. McNaught, with his nine beautiful muses flutter on the scene. Venus, Cupid, or Ray Gafney, with his dangerous quiver of arrows, and the Flower nymphs all shift around on the scene, the Spring nymphs dancing around the Flowers. Diana, who has been a hostess, treats as Venus approaches her. In the meantime Diana's nymphs舞 around the bewildered Cupid and rob him of his mischief-making arrows.
Then down on the mrymakers sweeps the North Wind, J. B. McCunnell, and N. J. McCunnell, less fierce West Wind, the East Wind, and finally the soft southern breezes dance across the scene. Then gray scarf clouds gather and cover the hills and valleys, the raindrops come, human lightning rainbow appears through the gray clouds and the storm is over. At last Bacusch and the Bacachens together with all the nymphs join in one great rush, and moving backward, disguar-
TORCHES MAKE BRILLIANT CLOSE In the gray twilight the red flame of the many torches carried by the senior women in the second University torch ceremony, will bring this pageant to a close.
The different freshman and sophomore gym classes will represent the nymphs and attendants of the gods and goddesses while Pan and his companions will be the nine men in Dr. Goetz's advanced aesthetic dancing class. By the fifteen senior women in the librarianship all will be made by them and the sample now on display in Dr. Goetz's office shows skilful workmanship.
PROF SKILTON AND MRS. OLCOTT IN RECITAL
SKILTON AND MRS. OLCOTT IN RECITAL
Lawrence music lovers were given a rare treat Wednesday afternoon at the Lenten Organ recital by Prof. Charles S. Skilton, assisted by Mrs. Olcott, contralto. This recital was the last of the Lenten series of three which Professor Skilton has been giving in Fraser Hall.
The program was well received by an audience of two hundred. The final two numbers by Professor Skilton were especially appreciated. Mrs. Olcott sang without effort and gave an impression of great reserve power. Her tech is that of a finished artist.
