RAIN THREATENS GAME
More Moisture May Prevent Opener With Ames To-morning
Rain which was a big contributing factor to last year's Missouri Valley Conference baseball championship won by Kansas, may play havoc with the opening of the 1916 season schedule. Aaron McCook Field with the Ames Agree
The surplus moisture during the past week has already caused considerable worry and inconvenience for it has put the McCook Field diamond in such poor playing condition that not until this afternoon will Coach McCarty's proteges be able to get a ball. This is one reason today the athletic association had a big roller working on the outfield and smoothing down the baselines so that the grounds will at least be in fair shape barring any more rain.
Season tickets for all of the ten home games will be sold at the gates tomorrow afternoon for two dollars making the price per game only twenty cents. Since standadd aid will cost the same from tomorrow all games will be fifty cents. Student enterprise tickets for grandstand are fifteen cents extra.
As far as the team is concerned everything is ready for the first battle with the Iowa Farmers. Red Craig, with his 1915 ever-victorious record, is slated to hurt the opening game with a backhand hit on the mound in the game Thursday.
The probable lineup:
"ce' proable inmeep:
Groft or Weber first base, Deaver
base, Wood short stop, Gibber
third base, Wandel center, Wandell
(Capt.) center field, Smec,
Travis, or W. Weltmter, left field, L.

Y. M.-Y. W. PUTS ON PARTY
The largest and most satisfactory Spring Party ever put on by the Y M.-Y. W, was held in Robinson Gymnasium, Saturday night, April 1 Over 300 men and women enjoyed the program of eight numbers.
Impersonators of Stunts, Fare and Faculty Please Many
The receiving line had Homer Herriot as Chancellor Strong, Catherine Redding as Mrs. F. E. Brown; J. B. Dall portrayed Dean Blackhurk, an noun character. A. Raymond was Prof. Boynton. These impersonations at once did away with any spirit of formality. The guests were received on the second floor and the refreshments were in two groups on the lower floor.
After the Grand March a farce "Mrs. Oakley's Telephone" was presented by a cast of Y, W, C, A, girls. Bill Weber staged an original laughing stunt which kept everyone in the audience in an uproar. The Varsity number consisted of interesting Estes Park views in Colorado.
The price of chemicals is jumping out of sight and the advance is being seriously felt by the department of chemistry. Bromine has advanced 400 per cent in price, sodium hydroxyl at 400 per cent, mercury over 350 per cent.
This is the last of these informal socials to be given by the Y. M-Y W. this year. They are open to the student body. There will be socials given every month next year. Homer Herriot and Hazel Carson are the chairmen of the social committees of the two associations.
"There are several obvious ways of accounting for these enormous increases in the price of chemicals," he added. "His industry, 'The warring nations are using all of the available bromine in the manufacturing of gas bombs and many of the other chemicals are being extensively in making explosives."

FEELS PINCH OF WAR
"The farmers of Kansas will feel the advance when they begin to combat the deadly potato-bug as Paris and New York are counting 12 cents is now selling for 42 cents."
An earthquake of minor importance occurred early Friday morning whose definite location could not be estimated from the readings of the University seismograph. The university was located by the Canadian station located at Victoria, Canada where it was estimated that the occurrence took place within a radius of 300 or 400 miles of Victoria. According to Professor Kester of the department of physics, it is probable that a disturbance placed on the west coast of Canada.
Earthquake in Canada
The primary wave occurred at 5:16:
13 and the main wave at 5:21:01.
The secondary wave could not be discerned. This disturbance is important in that it is the only one recorded during the month of March.
Swimming in Potter lake may begin any time now that the students are interested enough to go down, according to H. A. Lorenz. He was in the over two weeks ago and reported that the water was not too cold.
SECOND SENIOR WOMEN'S
SING ON GOLF LINKS
If rain doesn't scare them away, the senior women will meet Thursday evening at 6 o'clock on the golf links and incidentally include the men and incidents some supper as well.
After feasting on "wienies" and other foods, they will sing old and new KJV verses.
This is the second mixer held by the senior women, and to correspond with the smokers held by the men, they have called their meetings "sings." The former gatherings held about two weeks ago on the steps of Dyche Museum was the occasion for so much enthusiasm on the part of both singers and audience that the women are planning to "mix" often.
DID HE SEE TROUBLE?
Law Student Organized Com
many M Six Years
Ago
Six years ago there was no Company M of the Kansas National Guard. Then a Law student, named Warren Riley, then saw all the present agitation over preparedness and the part the universities of America would have to play, should war ever become a reality or not. That is now Company M of the K. N. G.
From the year 1910 to 1915, the average membership was thirty-three. Now the Company boasts fifty-six, including both officers and privates. The company is also as an efficient company. Every Tuesday night drills are held in the Robinson Gymnasium, under the command of Capt. F. E. Jones. In the summer the company goes to Fort Riley, where he plays in Kansas National Guard is in camp.
SUMMER CAMP BAY
Three teams each commanded by a colonel, three battalions in each regiment, under the command of a major, and four companies in each battalion—one of which is Company M under the command of Captain J. F. H. L. at the summer camp, where the K, N, Gs receive their military training.
SUMMER CAMP DIVISIONS
"As to Mexico—of course we have no plans now," said Captain Jones. "But if the National Guards are called and happen if the U. S. troops get into theaters, we will surely go, and I think the most of us will be glad to go."

What becomes of the graduates of the University of Kansas?
According to Prof. L. N. Flint, there is hardly a line of activity in New York City, that has not in it a prominent University man. In business for instance, can be found, Wilson Kinnear, A. M.; manager for the York Construction company on a sale of 980 shares to Caldwell of the class of 1922 is an X-Ray expert. In literature, Kate Stephens is one of several. Florence Finch Kelly, who has a son in the University at present, is a book reviewer on the New York Times. Stuart Henry is author of several novels and a successful business man; he is president of the New York State Security Company. In dramatics, Hale Hamilton is a Broadway star who did not graduate from the University, but took work here. In education, Eugene Alder is president of the Aledeh Academy, Brooklyn, C. T. Southwick, A. B., '95, is head of a large advertising agency.
PROF. McCLUNG IN PHILADELPHIA In Philadelphia Kansas is not so well represented, but we find C. E. McClung head of the department of biology in the University of Pennsylvania.
M. Davidson, A. B., '82, is sup-
entant of schools in Washington, D.
G.
In Chicago, Russell Whitman is head of the Audit Bureau of Circulation, the largest advertising concern of newspaper circulation in the country. The University has no great lawyers or doctors in Chicago, the representation being confined chiefly to engineers and business men.
In San Francisco are the more recent graduates, chiefly engineers. K. U. engineers have come to the front on the western coast more than in any part of the country. H. F. Bear, an engineer and a system for Oakley and San Francisco. J. B. Lippincott, son of Chancellor Lippincott, is one of the chief engineers of the Los Angeles viaduct. C. F. Humphrey is a prominent lawman of San Francisco. Several prominent lieutenants in Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles. Rollin E. Feitshams is head of a large furniture company in Los Angeles.
MANY IN THE WEST
In Salt Lake City, Glen Miller is a financier and head of a large investment company. Frank Marrye is one of the best known consulting engineers; Frank Whitzel is head of Bradstreet in Salt Lake, and Geo. T. Hunsen is a consulting engineer and of a large mining machine concern.
In Denver, the prominent University men turn to law and politics. John Hrus is prosecuting attorney, who has been in the heart of the big fight for justice. James Owen was district judge, but has now retired to practice law.
HIGH TARIFF FOR CHEMISTS
Only way to protect Infant Chemical Industry
The only protection for an Ameri can chemical industry, is a high pro protective tariff, believes Clarence Estes analyst of the food laboratories.
"Americans cannot compete with foreign producers, for it is even an economic waste for the American manufacturer to attempt to establish this country under present conditions. We should under the dominating hand of Germany. No sooner does the American manufacturer attempt to produce chemicals than he finds the market glutated by a flood of cheap German products. It is unable to compete in the open market; cheaper for Americans to produce the raw material, ship it to Germany, have it made up and returned to America, than for the American to make it up at home. Our only salva-menta is a high tariff, such as is used for the protection of all infant industries."
In First Journalism Class
Miss Manley, Maigle, '09 College,
teacher of journalism in the Junction
City high school. Visited the last
of the week in Lawrence and attended
the teachers' meeting. Miss Manley
took journalism under Prof. E. M.
Hopkins in 1904, when the first class
was introduced.
In First Journalism Class
"It was only an experiment then and was called the Journalism Division of Rhetoric," she said. "Our class was held in the basement of the library. There were sixteen in the class and I was the only woman." Miss Manley helped start the first high school paper in Junction City. She took journalism here last summer.

Another Club has been added to the University lists. It has a charter membership of thirty-five persons, who have pledged themselves to promote the welfare of all Lawrence birds.
THIRTY-FIVE JOIN
BIRD WELFARE CLUB
At a recent meeting a constitution was adopted and the promoter of the Prof. H. Douthitt was elected president for Woyah. He planned. The purpose of the organization is two-fold; first, to get birds live with us by making the community attractive to them; and second, to enhance our mutual work with the children of the city.
To attract more birds to Lawrence, the members of the club intend to use every effort in growing more shrubbery in the parks. They also plan to build a house of Lawrence to build bird houses, for wrens, blue birds and martins.
To this end the club will try to get the manual training departments of the Lawrence school to take up the building of bird houses. They will also see that the bird laws are enforced.
WORK IN STATE MINE
Students and Professors Keep Lansing Mine in Good Shape
Nearly every Kansan knows that there is a coal mine at the state penitentiary at Lansing; some know that part of the coal burned at the University and other state schools comes from the mine; but few realize that the mine is in any way connected with the University.
In most senses it is not, for the convict mine workers are not University students, and the University School of Mines does not exercise any sort of control over the mine, but it does entail a series of controls to make every possible way. For mining students the Lansing plant serves as a practice and research laboratory. There have been several these writen by students after a close study of conditions in the mine. One of these, an improvement suggestion dealing with the substitution of electric motor mine machinery for tunnel tunnels, was favorably received by the mine officials, but they have been unable to get the change made.
NEW FIELD INVESTIGATED
Another field which the student miners have investigated and reported to the officials is the washing of coal. Lasing coal runs quite high in ash and sulphur, and with the complete model plant they have made the tests of tests were made and the reports given the superintendent of the mines. Lansing coal runs quite high in ash and sulphur, and with the complete model plant in the mining laboratory, a series of tests were made and the results given the warden of the Pententien mining and coal storage tests are now planned for this spring.
On Friday afternoon, December 15, nine students with Professors Terrill and Grider went to Lansing and were housed in the warden's home at the penitentiary. The object of the trip was to examine a map of a much needed map of the mine. In the evening five a. m., until 11 p. m., Saturday and were down in the mine at 5 a. m. Monday morning. Only a few hours' work are done by the 300 convicts in the mine on Saturday. The work done by the University party with three transits and a plane table was well organized, the prisoners came down in the mines, they reached the working faces Monday forooneon the students had covered the main haulage ways, some of them over a mile in length and were therefore able to carry on their work all of that week and two days of the next without interfering with the coal arriving at the shaft to be hoisted. The penitentiary officials were very much pleased because of this.
working in the mine in six days. The plane table consists of a good telescope attached to a straight edge which rests on a sheet of drawing paper, this paper being supported by a paper bag mounted on a substantial transit tripod.
MAKE PLANE TABLE MAP
By working very long hours each day and with unusual speed Ted Crum and George Sammons succeeded in completing a plane table map of the entire five or six miles of
The map was made in sections, the courses being drawn to scale right in the mine. The sections were pieced over later and with a large pantagraph conform to the scale required by the state law. The use of a plane table is, for an underground survey of this kind, unique and proved to be of very great value when the mutiny curate or the assistant curate as the transit map would have been, but it is the best map the state has of its mine and meets the requirements of the state mine inspector, Mr. John Pellegrino. The curate and military are very glad to have it and it will be a big help in their work.
MAP FOR EVERY MINE
Mr. Pellegrino justly criticised the
state last summer for not complying with the state law requiring a map for every mine. He was handicapped, of course, in his first investigation last summer by not being given a map showing the location of air shafts and the workings. The urgency of the work making the map was the reason Professors Terrill and Grider took so large a party of the students into the mine at Christmas for the field practice of mine surveying which regularly comes in the summer in the two camp. A week's work on the Civils' summer camp to furnish an accurate survey of the mine and the work will be done by the University professors and students as soon as opportunity offers.
