FACULTY GETS CHANCE TO BOOST LOAN FUND
NUMBER 161
Campaign Among Instructors Comes Next Week and then State Wide Canvass
WILL BEGIN COLLECTING SOON
Students to be Asked to Pay Pledge to $50,000 Loan Fund Before Going Home
Next week the campaign for the $50,000 student loan fund will be started among the members of the faculty. The work among students will not be discontinued until every student has had an opportunity to help. After the faculty campaign the state wide canvass will be done and it is from this direction that the committee expects large returns.
Every mail brings in letters from people throughout the state. Some want to know about the progress the committee is making, others send encouraging words and some enclose subscriptions. Although no large number of letters are sent, a reason to believe that several substantial gifts will be received soon.
Students who have made pledges should pay them at Registrar George O. Foster's office next week. Already about fifty dollars have come in.
Will Meet Freshmen and Entertain
Them First Week of School
Y. M. TO BE BIG BROTHERS
The University, Y. M. C. A. is the new student's big brother. Copies of next year's "K" book will be mailed to many of the high school graduates of the state this summer, just as an offer that the Y. M. is interested in them.
When the radiant freshman arrives in Lawrence, he will find an information bureau at the depot under the direction of members of the new student committee of the Y. M. C. A. If he needs a job, he can report at the employment bureau in the Y. M. office. The work will be done. In the same office he will find a complete list of the rooming houses and boarding clubs.
Wee Feathered Bird Takes Her Daily
Plunge from Icy Bank
The Y. M. will try to entertain him during the first week of the semester by giving some kind of a mixer every evening, winding up with the big annual Freshman Blowout in the Gymnasium Saturday night.
WINTER WREN CLEANLIEST
When the shift of the bird migration begins in the fall, and our familiar little house wren hurries south, she is no sooner gone than her niche here is filled by a near relative of hers, the Winter Wren.
This bird only frequents the homes of men when driven by sharp hunger, for it is shy and prefers to live in timber, or near bushy overgrown stone walls, close by running water. For one of the peculiarities about the winter wren is its fondness for its nests, where it can stand on a rim of ice if it will duck and splash its diminutive body in the ice cold water.
Fine Voice
Those who have heard its love song in the north, for it does not sing with us, speak highly of its vocal power. It makes the woods vibrate with its liquid echoing song, so loud that it is almost impossible to locate the singer. While records have been made of its nesting as far south as Ohio, its usual breeding grounds are much farther north. There in the damp woods, in the hollow of some stump, or among the roots of a tree this tiny, mouse-like wren makes up her feather bed in a rooftop-over nest that is entered from the side in true wren fashion.
The Wrong One Fainted
Women at Washington State University are playing baseball this spring. In one of the recent games, the woman at bat made a foul tip which hit the catcher in the face. Although the catcher was not seriously hurt and went on playing, the batter fainted when she saw what she had and was forced to stop play. Such incidents never bothered a Ty Cobb.
Return Library Books
Students are requested to return
by the end of this week all books
"BOW WOOF" SAYS PUP:
"HOW Y'DOF" THE MAN
Some Men Lead "Dog's Life"
Did it ever strike you how remarkably some dogs resemble people? Just wander down the street any morning and you will meet plenty of dogs whose character and disposition mark them indelibly as to what they would be if they had two legs instead of four. For instance, down the walk trunks a small sturdy dog. His course is as straight as nature permits, and he looks neither to right or left. Presuming curs yep at his heels, or try to lure him into a friche, but he scorns their advances. "Hm!" you say to yourself, "There goes a business man."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 28, 1915.
In a yard nearby frisks a fuzzy ball of white. You whistle, and it draws near; you stretch out your hand, and it coily retreats. You kneel down and coax; it circles about you in erratic hops and bounds. You command, and it winks a round eye at your; you lunge eagerly towards it and it eludes you easily, never far, yet always just out of reach. You give up, defeated. "Flirt!" you call back, as you walk on.
A few blocks further on you see a beautiful, dignified collie strolling along. You are entranced, and whistle invitingly. He lifts his 'skee head, surveys you calmly and without interest—and deliberately turns his back. It is the cut direct! "Snob!" you mutter.
Suddenly the corner trots a little nondescript brown pup, dirty and unkempt, perhaps, but alert, wide awake, interested in everything. He chases a cat, plays tag with a squirrel, and finally approaches you. He stops and surveys you well, and you return the compliment. Suddenly he begins to wriggle all over with suppressed energy. You utter a little chirp. He cocks his head to one side, pricks up his frowzy little cars, and gazes at you with questioning bright brown eyes. You laugh, and put out a hand. He becomes a small riche of action. He rushes upon you estaticly, jumps, leaps, hopes all over you, and does his level best to kiss you.
"Hello, friend" you say.
PROF. BURGESS GOES EAST
K. U. Sociologist to Teach Next Year at Ohio State University
E. W. Burgess, assistant professor of sociology, at the University for the past two years, has accepted a position at Ohio State University. He will have the same rank there as he has here. Professor Burgess was appointed by the Board of Administration, but declined.
Under the direction of Prof. F. W. Blackmar, Professor Burgess has developed state sociological work to a point where it has attracted the attention of sociologists in the East. It was because of this work that Ohio State selected a professor from Kansas.
Professor Burgess will remain here for summer school.
Are the students of the University Jaywalkers? This is the way a visitor styled the students who climb the Adams street hill. A majority seem to be in ignorance of the wild traffic rule, "Keep to the right." Going up the hill in the morning are some of the students; some of them either occupying the whole sidewall, or walking on the left side.
WATCH YOUR STEP AND DO NOT JAYWALK
Professor Burgess was graduated from Kingfisher College in 1908 and took his Ph. D. from the University of Chicago in 1913.
Keep to Your Side of the Bricks
It is rather inconvenient when in a hurry coming up the Hill to amble in and out on either side of a bunch of students who have all day, seemingly to reach their classes. Especially is it embarrassing on a rainy day to collide with another, when passing students who are on the wrong side of the walk. Remember: "Keep to the right."
Pennsylvania sent a petition to President Wilson urging strongly that the sinking of the Lusatian should not effect our strict neutrality. About eight hundred signatures were obtained. This action follows out that taken by Columbia the day of the attack strictly neutrally) accident.
Penn Sends Peace Petition
The Daily Princetonian printed an editorial on the same subject against any mention of the incident by professors in their classes.
Probably the most accurate statistics which have been compiled on the cost of a course at K. U. are given by a senior who kept a record of every cent spent and earned during his University career. That these figures are correct may be shown by the cash book in which are recorded the expenses and earnings in a business-like manner. At the close of each

NOMEN'S STYLES COME SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS FROM GREEK FASHIONS ON THURSDAY, JUNE 10
Prof. Wilcox Says Loose Drap-
rof. Wilcox Says Loose Drawing Garments Come From Ancients
Did you know that fashions in women's clothes are returning to the old Greek styles? Well they are. So Prof. A. M. Wilcox, of the department of Greek says and he keeps posted on such matters.
"It if clears up by this evening we will give the open air band concert tonight as arranged," said Director J. C. McCanles this morning when asked about the proposed band concerto on the steps of the Dynec Museum.
The main feature of Greek styles was the loose drapping of their garments from the shoulders. The tendency at the present time especially in the past suits it towards drapings, of course with nautil gathers here and there.
The shirt-waist that has been so generally dispensed with of late in style books has been succeeded by the loose blouse which is essentially Greek. The gather at the waist particularly resembles the old girdle which was the only gather used by the ancients.
Will Appear Second Time in Open Air on Steps of Museum
If loose garments could be more generally worn it would do much to improve health. While women have been criticized more than men for wearing constricting clothing, popular leather belt used by men is now being attacked. The renowned Mayo surgeon Dr. Owen asserted within the last year that the belt worn by men has caused a great many cases of appendicitis.
Physiologists tell us the suspender is harmful and if now the belt is declared injurious men will wonder what to wear. Professor Wilcox advises an arrangement of suspenders connected with the vest which relieves the shoulders and waists of all strain.
SECOND OPEN AIR CONCERT
About two hundred students and townpeople gathered about the steps of Spooner Library last Friday evening to hear the first open air concert to be given this spring and it was decided to repeat the performance tonight. This will probably be the last concert given by the band this year and Director McCannes is hoping for a large audience if the weather clears by evening. He is planning to start the music as soon after 7 o'clock as possible so that it will not interfere with any other festivities.
To Have Course in Play ground Work and Supervision This Year
Just two weeks until the Summer Session people will stroll over the campus and the regulars will be off having a real vacation.
The session of 1915 promises to be "the best ever." New and interesting courses are to be offered for the first time in the fall, including playground work and agriculture.
Endowment Helps
The Carnegie endowment in the interest of international peace asked the management of the summer session to cooperate with them and offered to finance special courses in Spanish and the history of South America. The University was perfectly willing to do this, but was unable to find any teacher in this country who could teach the South American history. The Carnegie people had the same trouble so that course had to be dropped but the Spanish will be given.
There has been a demand for technical courses in medical work by those who want to begin their life work and want an anatomy will be offered this year.
Another new course that is providing popular is that of playground work and supervision. A teacher who is able to instruct in this phase of work is not only a leader but is sure of an increased salary.
A large per cent of the members of the summer school are teachers. And of this number half are women. The majority of those enrolled are undergraduate们 are trying for their A. B degree. Each year sees the increasing number of University students attending the session. At least three hundred are expected for this year, with a total enrollment of 800.

Or, Why Does a Duck Trouser?
It could not have happened in a small town or in a city. People grow old too soon there. But at a university it is different.
Young men cavorting about in bathing suits in a deluging rain; wadding in ditches and sliding on the wet grass—what a furor it would cause in the good old "sewing circles!"
But they did just that, during the rain yesterday. A number of men, or grown-up boys, on put on their bathing suits and sported on the golf links with all of the abandon of a sylph-like Christy girl in a crystalline lake.
They splashed in the pools, waded the muddy, swirling ditches, and plunged into Potter Lake "to get warm." But Potter had just received 1,277,999.44 gallons of rain water and was warm, just like liquid air. So they tried sliding, and that was a slick trick. They tried the refrigerator in the matter of sliding bases. Any dub could make a longer, faster slide than Ty. All that was necessary was a sport sprint, a place where the water stood on the grass, and slu-u-s-a-h! Forty feet back was the starting point.
And speaking of slides; some folks' front yards——But as Cancellor Strong would say, you are dismissed.
ART EXHIBIT OPENS TODAY
Fine Arts Students Have Work on Display in Ad Building
Beginning today and continuing through commencement, the annual students' art exhibit will be held on the third floor of the Administration Building. It will represent the work of the students in the School of Fine Art under the direction of W. A. Grainer professor of painting and drawing.
This year's exhibit is larger than ever before. The three large rooms on the third floor will be used in displaying the work. The exhibit consists of portraits, sketches of flowers and fruits, line studies, landscapes, pictures in many dimensions, and a museum work. The students in pottery work will have their work on display in large cases in the hallway.
Of the four seniors, who are leaving this year, Wilma Arnett has painted many portraits of students on the Hill that are highly praised by critics; Addie Underwood, in landscape work; Emily Annadown, in pottery; Edith Cooper, in pottery and landscape, have won merited distinction.
CHANGE RULES FOR DEBATE
Speakers Will Have Three Minutes Between Talks and Rebuttals
"Resolved: That the Monroe Doctrine should be abandoned by the United States (Monroe Doctrine to be defined)" will be the subject for discussion in the Colorado-Oklahoma-Kansas Triangular debate next year if the debating councils of the other two schools favor the action taken by the local council, at its last meeting of the year, held Tuesday. A tentative date, the first Friday in March, was also agreed upon.
Several proposed changes in the conduct of the debates were considered. In the future the home school will defend the negative, rather than the affirmative. An intermission of three minutes is to be allowed between the main debate and the rebuttal, giving the speakers time to confer and plan their arguments. The visiting University is to submit twelve names to the entertaining school, the latter to choose from the list three judges and the chairman of the debate.
The offer of a debate with the University of Southern California was officially declined. A challenge for the university was with the Kansas Angels who also refused.
Speaches made by Kansas debaters during the contests this year are being prepared for publication, and will appear shortly in the "University Debator's Annual," a publication issued by Edward Mabie, of Hanover, New Hampshire, and containing the arguments used in the great inter-collegiate debates that Ham radio faculty have to be requested to contribute to this Annual, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, and the leading state universities throughout the country being contributors.
The gold "K.s." awarded the inter-scholastic debates this year were received last week and presented to the men at the meeting Tuesday.
'SLIDE, BOYNTON, SLIDE AND PUT 'EM OVER ZEUS
That's What You'll Yell at the Faculty-Senior Baseball Game
SHORTY STRONG IN THE FIELD
"Slim" Haworth, "Tubby" Twenhofel, and Marty Rice to Dig Spikes in Ground Around Second
"Slim" Haworth
If "Shorties" Millis and Strong can find their old Varisty, baseball tuggergy before the day of the battle, there is liable to be lively doings on McCook Field, Class Day of Commencement Week. On that day all classroom dignity will be thrown off and nine heretofore unapproachable profs will battle with a like number of seniors in the niftiest exhibition of the national pastime ever staged in these parts.
Imagine such men as "Slim" Haworth, "Tubby" Twenhofel, and Marty Rice, who also loves his athletics, digging their spikes into the mud. You can imagine eliding the unering peg of a youngster catcher. Can you get the picture?
Enter the Hon. W. L. Burdick, professor of Law, tearing in from deep center and snagging a drooping Texas-Leaguer back of second which had previously caused "Major" A. T. Walker to flee in terror.
See "Walter Johnson" Wilcox with his mystifying saliva ball cutting the corners and causing cracks to appear at the vertebrae of the opposing batters.
Show Baseball Prowess
"Billy Sunday" **Sundwail**, "Snake"
Heleberg and "Effervescent" Goldsmith—the ball team of Columbia University who admits it—will probably be the nucleus of the team but they will be backed up by "Elijah Billion" Boynton and "KentoC" Cady, some demon sluggers.
And this is only a starter. They'll all be there. "Empty" Thorpe, and "Lenny" Flint helped schedule the game that they might have a chance to win. The small prowess once more. We doubt the term "prowess," don't you?
If practice wins ball games, the profs have it in a walk for each day "Empty" Thorpe has been seen knocking flies to his outfield in his backyard and Burdick and the two "Shorties" are spearing them with great regularity. And hurler Wilcox's curves have the statues in his classroom standing motionless at the plate, too terrified to raise their bats.
Will Have Some Game
"Dutch" Wedell, the captain of the senior team, using the "watchful waiting" policy is refusing to talk regarding his team's chances but ventures to remark that "the veterans will have to go some."
A hard game is expected.
Captain Willeo has given out the following tentative line-up for his team.
The Line Up
First team: cf., Burdick; if, Strong; fr, Millis; th, Thorpe; 2b, Sundwall; ss, Haworth; 3b, Boynton; c, Twinhoe. w, Dilox.
Substitutes: Helleberg, Goldsmith,
Dockery, A. T. Walker, Marty
Marty
Ambulance corps: Naismith and Lorenz.
Pulmotor squad: "Doc" Jones and Hamilton.
If arrangements can be completed Uncle Jimmy Green will handle the indicator. Mrs. Cora G. Lewis will throw the first ball.
Foster at Meade County
Registrar George O.' Foster delivered the commencement address to the Meade county high school Tuesday evening. After the exercises Mr. Foster "boarded" an automobile for Dodge City, a distance of fifty miles, in order to make train connections. The Registrar arrived home on Tuesday evening. He reports crops in that corner of the state in fine condition.
Two Kansans Next Week
The Daily Kansan will issue papers Tuesday and Thursday of next week.
