Annual Smoker of Second Year Men Will be Held Tonight
SOPHOMORES WILL MIX
It's a big night tonight for second year men. The sophomore mixer to be held in Ecke's hall embraces a unique and varied program that is bound to please an audience of the stronger sex,
The first attraction will be a "barrel fight," a new thing for Lawrence. A boxing program consisting of a battle royal between five welter weights, four championship belts, will furnish no small amount of lively entertainment for the mixers.
Prof, Merle Thore and Beau O'cott, football coach, will tell some choice stories, and a quartette will render several songs to supplement the instrumental numbers, while the eats and smokes go the rounds.
Judging from the number of tickets sold to date, the management is expecting a large crowd and is preparing eats and smokes accordingly.
Expressed in Terms of Ice Cream.
GIVE THE HORSEPOWER FORMULA FOR "GIRL"
GUESS!
Prof. Maurice Reece, in his Physiology 1 class, recently made the statement that the energy used in melting a dish of ice cream will raise a ton of heat and the energy stored up in the cream would raise the coal 16 stories. Now if the potential energy of the cream is 16 stories; and the kinetic energy expended on the melting of coal equals a girl at a soda fountain after a movie?
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 6, 1916.
Earl O'Roke, assistant professor of zoology, met with a painful though not serious accident when he attempted to light the gas furnace in his hot few days ago. The gas had been escaping from the jets, and the explosion which occurred lighted the furnace, burned his hands and face severely. The fact that the explosion did not occur until a few moments after he had lighted the gas and had had time to step away from the furnace saved him from what would have been very serious injuries. He has been cared for since with his face and arms bandaged, on yesterday when he came on, the Hill for a few minutes. He will probably be able to resume his class work in a few days.

"K. U. AND CHRISTIANITY"
"K. U. AND CHRISTIANITY"
FOSTER'S TALK TONIGHT
Why it is that the most important organization on the Hill receives the least consideration is one of the questions Geo. O. Foster will discuss in this class at the night at 7 o'clock before the Y. M. and Y. W. meeting in Myers Hall.
"K. U. could give up any other institution or organization with less loss to her well being and fair name throughout the state than she could in any other situation," the letter. "Here in the University with the rush of classes, the attractions of other activities, we fail to see the importance of the Christian organizations, so seeing things with a better perspective, we need to correct our point of view."
The new catalogue will be similar to the one used this year. It will consist of thirteen sections devoted to the different departments and courses of the University and a General Information section, each being bound separately. A few copies of the combined sections will be printed.
The University of Kansas catalog for 1916-17,which is being published by the state printers at Topeka, will be distributed in May at the time of the commencement program. About 30,000 copies will be issued.

GET YOUR RAKE READY
Students Will Have a Campus Clean-Up Day, If Plans Materialize
CHANCELLOR LIKES IDEA
Suggests Feed and Baseball
Game as Added Attractions
MUSICAL STARS
Plans for a holiday, on which all students can take a part in cleaning up the campus, have been broached to Chancellor Strong and several other Chancellor favors the idea with possibly a few changes in original plans.
Chancellor Frank Strong said "I am very much in favor of this plan, and would suggest that May 1, which is a holiday, be set aside for that purpose. It would be a fine thing to add another tradition to that day. I would suggest that each sorority, fraternity, and club require each member to take an active role in the work. The work of the University might give a lunch at noon on the campus and then at about three o'clock we might go down to the ball ground and have a ball game. I am sure that every division of the University will be glad to co-operate in the work. The Board of Administration has nominated the employment of Harlan Hearst as projectors of Kansas City, in beautifying the campus and we might be able to have them here to direct the planting of some shrubs on that day."
Prof. W, C. Stevens: "There is nothing which needs improvement more than the campus, and with a little work and care this could be made one hundred times. But course it would be a little costly to do it all at once, but by improving a part at a time it would not be long until the entire campus was in fine shape. The Board of Administration is very anxious to improve the appearance of the grounds and have authorized immediate supervision of landscape architects."
George O. Foster: "I think that it would be a very good plan to declare a holiday. The south side of the camper trailer is heated, heating needa clean-up bad."

SET ASIDE MAY 1
CLASSES WILL COMPETE
Track Athletes Are Training Now For Big Interclass Meet April 29
HOLIDAY IS A GOOD PLAN
The track men are already beginning to dope out their prospects in the annual track meet which will be held April 29. Not content with working for the larger meets alone the cinder artists are getting the class spirit alight and a day of the meet will see some close competition for the medals offered.
The present juniors have won the last two interclass meets and have bright prospects of winning this one. The team will also need which to build a team the Juniors have a well balanced aggregation with a good squad for the relay. But the sophomores will be out for points this season they also have a well balanced squad.
The letter men will not be limited to one event as has been done a few times in the past. But even at that the captains on the different class teams will not line-up more men in an event than is necessary. Thus the novice will have his chance to get in the running for the medals. And a dark horse will have a good chance to overcome over on one of Hamilton's veterans.

Gabriilowitsch Concert Draws Appreciative Audience of the Musical Select
TWO RECEPTIONS FOLLOW
Senata Appassionata of Bee
(thoven a Feature of Program
A disappointingly small audience greeted Gesson Gabriellowitz, one of the world's leading pianists, last night at the Bowersock when he appeared in joint recital with Madame Clara Ciemens Gabriellowitz, contralto. The audience, although small, was made up of music lovers and the apper- tion given the audience, up to enthusiasm what was lacking in volume.
Although comparatively light, the Sonata Appassionata of Beethoven was the only heavy number of the evening—the program afforded excellent opportunity for the display of Gabriilowitz's ability as master of piano and bass in playing his exquisite shading, his clean technique and ease and reserve power, supplemented with that touch of the poetic which always characterizes pupils of the great Leschetizetsky, completely carried away his hearers.
Mr. Grabilowitsch's handling of the heavy Beethoven Sonata was easily the feature of the concert. Sitting at the piano as quietly as though playing a child's exercise, the Russian virtuoso interpreted the Allegro and Finale of the sonata with an intense sense of proportion. All technical difficulties apparently did not exist for him. Mr. Grabilowitsch's technical ability also appeared to good advantage in Moskowski's "Wave" etude. The Chopin nocturne was a rare gem
MIAMI WELL BEAUTY.
While Madame Gabriilowitsch was well received by the program was not of the same caliber as that of her husband. And the very excellence of Mr. Gabriilowitsch's playing accentuated this.
MADAME WELL RECEIVED
Following the concert, Mr. Gabriolwitsch was entertained with a smoker at the University club, and Madame Tirso was admitted at the home of Professor Skilton

JOAN FUND MEMORIAL
FAVORED BY MACK
FAVORED BY
"Giving the memorial fund to the student loan fund would be a very good plan," said Harold Mack, chairman of the senior memorial committee for the fund. "I do not think that the plan would find much opposition among the class, in fact I know some people who would contribute if the money were given to the loan fund or if it is used for other purposes."
Of course, the loan fund idea would get away from the notion of a memorial, as there would be nothing tangible that could be seen with our class numerals on it. But we might use the fund to help them in our donation to the fund for the use of seniors only, or some similar provision."
ANOTHER SING TONIGHT
Senior Women to Give Program on Golf Links Tonight —Others Later
The senior women will meet tonight at 6 o'clock on the golf links for supper and a "sing." This is the second "sing" to be held by them, for the last one proved to be such a success, that women are planning to "mix" often.
"The purpose of these meetings," said Joseph Jaquana, chairman of the organization, "is to get the senior women all well acquainted before the separate most of us. Then, again, we are practicing K. U. songs, some of which are not very well known. At this next 'mixer,' we are going to practise Professor Carruth's 'Poet and Peasant' all the well-known, university songs."
If it rains, the "sing" will be held on the steps of Dyce Museum instead of on the golf links. To take care of your shoes and socks, women are asked to bring fifteen cents.
MISSING CAMPUS SKETCHES
HAVE BEEN RECOVEREI
The campus scenes that were made by Louis Wilhelm, 113 Law, and which are undoubtedly the best work of the sort on the Hill, have been received from the obscurity in which they sank during the last year when they were lost in some undiscoverable place. The campus rooms in the Fine Arts rooms in the Ad Building. The pictures, which are approximately four feet by five, portray popular and unusual pictures of the University buildings and of the campus.
Two years ago they were sent to Topeka to the State Capitol for a university exhibit that was arranged for the legislature by the Board of Regents, later they were started back to Lawrence but were lost until a few months ago when they turned up in some inexplicable manner with five of the pictures badly torn and punctured. The room where they were been retouched and a number of them now hang on the walls of the sketching room.

The members of the University debating team returned from their practice trip last evening. At three of the towns, where they staged the debate, the team was well-prepared. Two of the debates won by the negative and one by the affirmative. As a result the team feels confident that they can register a victory for the negative against Missouri tomorrow evening. The men who will attend the debate will be picked, but their names will be announced in tomorrow's Kansan.
The representatives from Missouri are expected to arrive some time this afternoon. They have been working on the question since last fall and can be depended upon to put up a stiff fight for our ancient rival.
Special interest in this debate attaches to the fact that it will be the last debate that three of the men will ever be able to take part in for the University debates, and three University debates in two of which he has been victor, is anxious to win one more laurel for K. U. before he steps into the ranks of the teaching profession. Odis Burns, who has represented the University in two debates, said that his victor, hopes to another victory for his Alma Mater.
