TOURNAMENT LOST MONFY
Secret Girls' Games Cost Athletic Association Heavy
The lack of girls' games in the recent high school basketball tournament proved costly to the K. U. athletic association according to figures recently announced by C. A. Rancho, secretary, secretariat of the women's games were played in the tournament but were open only to women spectators.
Although having twice as many teams entered as in the 1915 tourney the total receipts this year amounted to only $472.25 compared with $599 last year. The great decrease in attendance is blamed directly on the ruling that made the girls' games secret instead of being played as a regular part of the tournament as in former years. Because of it, the shrinkage in the number and the fact that many high schools protested the ruling, the K. U. athletic authorities hope to be able to return to the conditions of former years in holding next year's tournament or else abandon the project.
Of the total receipts of $472.25 taken in this year about one hundred dollars will go to the athletic association leaving the remainder to be pro-rated among the fifty-five teams competing. The amount each team received was determined by the railroad fare.
WILL HAVE STUDENTS' DAY
S. C. to Make Arrangements for Annual Student Rights Day
Plans for Students' Day are to be taken up at the regular meeting of the Men's Student Council next Tuesday day evening according to the statement of Leland Thompson, president. This day is a yearly tradition of the University on which the students of the various schools are allowed to get together and "air" their grievances or make comments on the way in which matters are conducted at the University.
One student speaker from each school is either appointed by the president of the school or elected by the school and he makes his plea at the chapel as representative of that body. At this meeting the faculty has no authority to judge and the student Council is given complete charge of affairs. The faculty is, however, earnestly invited to come to the meeting and hear the abuses of which students may think they are guilty.

ARE ACTIVE IN POLITICS
K. U. Grads Fill Many County,
State and National Offices
If dots on the map of the United States indicated places where K. U. men were actively engaged in politics the face of our nation would look like a small box in the case of smallpox. Of course the breaking out would be greatest at home where at least fifty counties have K. U. graduates filling the office of county attorney besides a store or a store or a score or more of other county officials.
As far as state positions are concerned we are not so well represented at the present time. The only grads now holding state offices, with the exception of about a dozen members of the state legislature, are the two governors of Arkansas and J. Wilson, and C. F. Paley, a member of the public utilities committee. Considering the number of graduates and the difficulties a western man has in attaining a national office, a great number of K. U. graduates have been a place in national political politics. The number of these at the present time is Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, who holds the distinction of being the only graduate from this University to ever reach the Senate. In the House the University has been more educated than its seats in that body; at present Dudley Doolelland and D. R. Anthony are the only two from Kansas.
Work on McCook Field Cinders Will Start This Afternoon
K. U. men also have a custom of making good in the politics of other states. The most noted example in this field is S. V. Stewart, '89 Law, who is now Governor of Montana. Other well known names that may be added to this list are: John Rush, John Warnock and Dewey R. E. Campbell, '94 Law, district judge in Oklahoma; and ex-governor Hadley of Missouri who it is suggested will come out as a candidate for U. S. Senator.

1916 TRACK SCHEDULE
Relay Men Preparing for Des Moines Trip
Track practice on McCook Field will start in earnest this afternoon. For a week the cinder artists have been enjoying a nice vacation but the call for the outdoor work has been issued. This means that the tracker must travel 20 miles to track clothes under their arm and journey to McCook this afternoon.
May 27 Missouri Valley Conference meet at Columbia.
June 3 Western Conference meet at Chicago.
Bonnie Reber, Lotte Martin and Joyce Brown visited the latter's parents Saturday and Sunday in Olathe,临家 home town. In spite of all the rain and snow which prevented their picnic, the picnic report a delightful trip.
Starting outdoor practice at this time will give the two relay teams three weeks in which to get in shape before entering the Drake Relay Games in Des Moines April 22. This will be long enough for the men who play each team to track. In those three weeks Coach Hamilton expects to look over the ten or twelve men he has in the distances and from that number pick eight men who will look the best for a couple of relays in the big northern meet.
FAVOR MILE RELAY
Just what two relays Kansas will run at Des Moines has not been determined. The only one that is sure is the one mile. Every Kansan will admit that Hamilton has anice one mile relay squad after their performance in St. Louis and this same squad will get to face Missouri on Sunday. Another team, the relay team Coaches Hamilton and Patterson will have to do some close figuring. A four mile relay team—each man run a mile—could be picked that would best any team in the Missouri Valley. But whether these four men would match up with Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois is a different question. Rodkey, Grady, Sproull and Herriott have records as good as any other team. But doubtless make a winning team for this section of the country.
Then there is a two mile combination which Kansas could win some points with. Rodkey again would be the anchor man. in this relay with Fiske as the other star. Grady, Harriot, Marquis and Groene will enter the race for the other two places. Besides that some of the quarter milers may be able to repeat in this event. In either case Hamilton can pick a team of four men from this number that will average under the man. If you do that the Drakes could eight minutes flat for the two mile relay will have to fall.
MAY GO TO PENN GAMES
AY TO OPPEN GAMES
Behind the Des Moines trip is a greater stimulus. If a good showing is made by either of the two or three relay teams at Des Moines Coach Hamilton will take that team to the Penn Relay Games in Philadelphia the following week. This is the time to prepare for the new working and the practices of the next three weeks will show that the men want the long trip.
The track man in events other than the relays will start work today also. The first meet in which they will enter will be the dual meet with Nebraska on McCook Field May 5. The meet with Oklahoma was refused definitely because the Jayhawker schedule was too full.
A number of the graduates of the School of Fine Arts at the University have achieved more than ordinary success in the musical world. Harold Henry, one of the most noted of concert pianists, is a graduate of the University and makes his headquarters in Chicago. Two weeks ago he played his third annual concert in New York. Miss Agnes Lapham is another concert pianist who has headquarters in Chicago.

RAGS ORIENTAL MUSIC
Siamese and Javanese Airs Played by Prof. Ogden in Testing Native Music
The musical scales of the Javanese and Siamese are used by Prof. R. M. Ogden in his psychology lectures that refer to hearing and to musical tones and noises. In these experiments, in which Professor Ogden plays the national air and a dancing song, he uses soundscapes from the native psychologist, Stumpf, who has copied the scale from the native instruments of these lands.
The purpose of the use of these scales is to show the wonderful exactness with which these primitive people who have no laboratory and who have not yet been taught of tones measure the interval between tones. The scale of the Javanese is divided into six notes, each tone having exactly the same interval between it and the next higher and the next lower. These are exactly identical instruments with finely differentiating instruments. The scale of the Siamese has eight notes, each separated from the next note by an equal interval. These people have perfected their instruments with no other tone measuring instrument than their ears and can compare favorably with our own.
The musical instruments that these people use are of four kinds, ananklong, which is a series of suspended bamboo rods that are struck with a heavy stick, a large gong piano that is circular in shape and so large that the player sits within the center of it, a crude zither that has only three strings, or a metalophone, popularly made in the form of a crocodile which has in some cases wooden plates and in others metal plates like our own.
The music is purely melodious and rythmical and there is no harmony to it, as we know the word. Only one note may be struck at a time on one instrument, but the main instrument is accompanied by the clapping of hands, the rhythmic chanting, or the pounding of drums. The other instruments would moods except warfare feelings and the pleasure of the dance. It can in no way compare with ours, although there is a possibility of our scientists advancing this music far beyond the point at which it now stands.

CHORAL UNION TO SING
Churches Will Close Palm Sunday for Religious Chorus in Gymnasium
The Oratario of Gounod, directed by Prof. Arthur Nevin, of the School of Fine Arts, will be given by the Lawrence Choral Union at Robinson Gymnasium, on Palm Sunday evening. The choir will perform 8 'oclock'. All churches will close.
The participants in the oratorio will be 125 students and townpeople
Among the students who will have prominent parts are Cora Reynolds, Clara Scheuer and Ray Gafney. Many of the quartettes and choruses have not been assigned yet. There will be no entrance admission.
The oratorio was one of Gounod's later works. It deals with the suffering of Christ, during the last week of his life. It is lighter and more popular in character than most of the Passion Plays. Gounod divided his energies between opera and religion, but he also wrote a life he became a religious mystic, and the Oratorio was produced while he was in this mood
