Better salary, more congenial work and wider opportunities are the reasons given by Professor Johnson for his resignation.
"We are sorry to lose Professor Johnson from the engineering faculty," said Dean P. F. Walker, of the School of Engineering, this morning; "but we can hardly expect him to be satisfied once made by the Westinghouse people."
Milton Dye, '19 Engineer, had a shaving thrown into his eye while operating a lathe in Fowler Shops Friday. The injury was not serious and he came up the Hill Monday without showing any effects.
The Dean added that no successor for Professor Johnson has been selected. He is divided among the other members of the electrical engineering faculty.

K. U. Students Borrow Money for School Expenses
The Student Loan Fund, begun by the graduating classes of the College and School of Engineering of '94, with a gift of $342, has increased its capital to $1,900. This sum, with the exception of $16, has been loaned to students, in amounts ranging from $40 to $100.
Contributions have been received from the Jockey Club, Debating Society and several individuals, among others, who contributed to Dora Bryant. James Meade, a former University student, and now president of the Meadie Cycle Co., of Chicago, has placed $1,000 at the disposal of the committee in charge of a fund.
Professors E. F. Engel, Alberta Corbin and George H. Hood compose the committee which administers the fund. It is their duty to investigate applications and grant loans. From three to twenty students have received aid every year since the fund was founded. Students in our group must have attended the University at least a year, and he cannot borrow over $100 at a time. Loans are made on bankable notes searing 4 per cent interest.

The two-bits changes hands and John Jones is listed to leave Spooner at 9:50. At 7:53 (just four minutes after John) a young woman enters. She has been walking in the moonlight. She one-step to Bob and whispers 9:51. Bob boo over the lists. She will do. E. D. E. Date agency money and satisfaction guaranteed.

Objects to Late Closing Hour The Union Club dances, given by the club, which is the consolidation of all former high school fraternities, for its members and many of the students that caused some articulation among members of the high school faculty. Chaperons are always furnished and the closing hour is generally from twelve until one o'clock. The high school has an carlier closing hour rule for dances and the faculty member in charge under the auspices of the high school objected to the late closing hour. The Union Club dances have been well attended by University people.

TO GIVE GREEK PAGEANT
Annual Spring Festival Will Be Based on Greecian Mythology
As Usual Only a Few Men Will Have Peers
500 WOMEN TO TAKE PART
Have Parts
A Greek Pageant with Greek dances and costumes will be the form that the May Fete will take this year. The afternoon part of the fete will be under the direction of the W. S. G. A. and as last year, Dr. Alief Goetz will train the dancers and determine the technique of the affair. Many of the interpretive pieces, the mythology, and the costumes, varied in color and beautiful in design, will represent all the colors of a prism.
Definite plans have not yet been made as to the afternoon program. Perhaps some woman symbolic of spring or a statute of the Alna Mater will be the central figure. Over 500 University women will take part in the pageant. Both Frank and Adam were taught by Miss Elliott, and Dr. Goetz's aesthetic dancers are preparing for the event.
The evening program will consist of a medieval fantastic play, written in poetry by Prof. Percy Shostack and directed by the author with an air of mystery dominating it all. Only five leading characters, of whom Helen Clark will have the only chance to be a part. Alden Torry and J. B. McNaught will carry the men's heaviest parts.
The fete this year will be different in many respects from the one presented last year. While carried on along the same general lines, this fete will be greated Grass, while last fete was in every detail, ed English.
In the beautiful natural amphitheater, close to Potter's Lake, glittering processes of fairs, shepherdsales, little boy blues, clowns and circus performers lead up to the May Queen, Helen Rigby, "15 College. Two dancers in the Dance of the Winds appeared as a gray mist blower over the top of the hill as they danced down to the lake surrounded by butterfly dances, and a large sunflower with a feminine head burst into bloom. Roses and tulips and violets were symbolized in costume and dance by the different seasons, and the year by the Y. W. C. A., as the direction reverts each year between the Y. W. and the W. S. G. A.

I wish to call the attention of all members of the University to the rule of the Board of Administration in regard to smoking in University buildings, with especial reference to new buildings and existing buildings. The rule referred to is of long standing and a wise and necessary rule which should be entirely complied with. The University Marshal should have this police is given with the idea that everyone may have a fair warning in regard to the matter.

CANT DECIDE ON HEAD
OF GEOLOGY SURVEY
Coupled with the problem of finding a man to take the place of Prof. W. H. Twenhofel of the department of Geology, is that he is signed, is the question of who is to be named head of the Kansas State Geological Survey. The truth is that nobody wants it; and it now looks as if Mr. Twenhofel succeeds Professor Twenhofel.
Chancellor Strong said yesterday that he has been considering the matter.
A few weeks ago young seven men got together a Kodak Squad to collect pictures for the Jayhawker. Forty pages of the book are to be filled with pictures of students in poses which they never expected anyone to see, except their best friends. E. M. Johnson says that the squad has made a cavvas of all fraternities, sororities, clubs and other organizations and has pathened over 1,000 pictures, 500 of which will appear in the Jayhawker. Some of the pictures are interior views of class rooms. One page alone will contain thirty-two poses of well known students.

Student Council Ruling in Effect Saturday April 1—Only Real Freshmen Included
Woe to the freshman who neglects to wear his little cap with its adornment button, on and after Saturday, April 11. Swift and terrible will be the punishment meted out to those who attempt to evade this decree. Testimonials from victims who have ignored this rulling in the past are enough to make the act of this cap cold. If the cap is worn, however, the first year man need not walk abroad in fear and trembling.
Special students and all those having credit or advanced standing from other colleges are exempt from this requirement. An academic freebie comes under the ban.
REAL BEAUTIES IN SHOW

Unique stunts, monologues, singing, and dancing will make up the program, which is to be announced Monday, April 3. The grand finale will be a chorus of the twenties, prettiest girls, who were chosen because of their dancing and singing ability.

Coach W. O. Hamilton "came back" in the gym the other day. While one of Prof. H. A. Lorenz's classes was doing work on the parallel bars the coach happened in and made a pass at the bars as if he were going to perform but withdrew with the excuse that he might have been quick for him, and before he could retreat had offered to hold the watch. The Coach was as good as his word and surprised the whole class by his agility.

Kate Daum, a graduate student in the department of home economics, went to Neodesha Tuesday where she delivered lectures from charts, illustrations, the economic values of food. The lecture was given at the high school.
temporary Relief Will Be Given
At Once Says Doctor
Naismith
SYSTEM ENTIRELY WRONG
New Equipment Necessary to Prevent Choking of Pipes
Few persons understand what the real trouble with the showers in the gym is, according to Dr. James Naismith. The real trouble is deep seated. In fact it runs all the way from the valves on the showers to the ceiling. The hot wall MDF are all coated with a thick lime scale. This deposit has choked up the valves in a way that cannot be permanently remedied until new pipes and fixtures are put in all the way from the heating plant. Cost of this work will be more than a hundred dollars according to Mr. Naismith. A budget to cover this expense has been asked for by Dr. Naismith and the work will be done this summer. In the meantime, measures to temporarily remedy the showers will be undertaken. Steam will be blown through the pipes which will remove the water. They will not remain clean for any length of time as long as the main pipe to the heating plant is choked with scale.
"The present pipes were really too small in the first place," said Dr. Naimsmith, "but the new ones which will replace them next summer will be larger, and after the water softening plant is installed our shower head will be replaced." Steam of steam through the pipes gives temporary relief and this will be done frequently in an effort to keep them open the rest of the school year."
GIVES VQICE CONCERT

It was rendered by Mr. Farrell, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Farrell. Two selections, A Nocturn, and Eldorado by Prof. C. S. Skilton were performed in a chamber setting greatly enjoyed by the audience. The composer was at the piano.
