Finally in the Hash House League will be completed this week if possible, in order to obviate the necessity of playing during final week.
A general meeting of team representatives has been called for Wednesday evening at 7:30 for the purpose of making division championship awards. Any teams having games unplayed that may change the percentage of teams eligible to champion the tournament will be mediated. Finals will probably be played the last three days of the week.
In the first division Willis has the championship cinched. In the second, three teams are contending, Custer, 1328 O., and Daniels. In the third, first place lies between Track Training and Oread Cafe. In the final series, the champions of the second and third divisions will first cross bats, the winner to take on the Willis Club.
The percentages above are fairly accurate, although some of the games played may not be included. The league was thrown away off schedule by the lack of grounds, two or three rainy week-ends, and several track meets, during which Manager Hamilton will not permit hall games to be played. The lack of proper ground lighting for the teams, and players are confidently hoping for an improvement before next year.
Medals have been ordered for the winners in the divisions, and will be here within a week. Peckham's, the Round Corner Drug Store, and Bob DeVille, the League champion will receive a large silver loving cup from Allie Carroll.

This From the Fly
The Kansan editor's strenuous efforts to protect the reputation of the K. U. co-eds against the Sour Owl, is, through continually stirring up publicity, having the very opposite effect. By last Thursday everyone had forgotten that a Sour Owl had been published the previous week, until the Kansan's article that evening stirred the storm. That the Kansan started this state wide publicity is proved by the fact that practically every paper stated the following day that due to the Sour Owl two girls had left school, a statement based purely on hearay and totally unfounded, as I heard the editor of the Kansan himself admit. You published a correction? Yes—but how many papers copied you? You might take this tip from the Sour Owl—base your statements on facts. Talk about protecting the University and the girl's reputations. Your Don Quixote methods resemble those of the little boy who, when a fly was biting his baby sister's bald head, killed the naughty fly with a shovel. Yes, he killed the fly—but. Now Mr. Editor, a wise man knows when to keep silent. Can't you please get wise?

IAYHAWKFR IS OVERSOLD
The 1915 Jayhawker is oversold despite the fact that a reorder of fifty books was made, according to Manager Hackney. On account of the sale, Hackney will be unable to fill his contract with the Board of Administration which called for eighty books. Only forty copies will be furnished the Board. There will be no more copies for students.
Board of Administration Will Get Half Number Contracted for
Manager-elect Ross Rusenbark with in all probability conduct the sale of the Annual along the same lines as this year except that he will have a circulation manager who will make a campaign of the students thus save money. 25, 6, 76, and also placing the Annual in the hands of more persons.
On account of the agitation for a cheaper Annual, by many students who would like to have an Annual in their library, a plan is being worked out whereby two styles of books will be issued as is done in many of the larger schools. One of the books will be bound in a more expensive leather cover than has ever been seen on the campus while the other will be bound in a simple but inexpensive cover. By this plan the management will be able to save the hungry students the price of a couple of Sunday dinners.
The Kanza Club announces the pledging of Frank C. Troutfetter of Colby.
Texas Women Prepare Dinner
The final examination in domestic science is a dinner at the University of Texas. That is to say, each student has to prepare a meal for six persons, making her own menu, doing the marketing, cooking, and serving. In order to relieve the members of the class of any expense, tickets are sold to the diners, each woman being allowed to dispose of six.
FRESHMEN WILL NO LONGER WEAR CAPS
Sophs Excuse First Year Men
No longer will the freshman have to submit to the wearing of the degrading skull cap. No longer will he have to contend with the jeers and contempt of other students on acco- nent the yearling's distinctive headgear.
The sophomores made the announcement this morning that they felt the freshie had been good, that he has worn the cap long enough to become really submissive. They said the first year men had served their time and that they should be re'leased from the operation of the rule. So today is the last day for the wearing of the postage stamp caps. The frosh need not fear the paddle when he comes to the Hill tomorrow wearing the head dress of the common student.
Lawrence Miller, president of the sophomore class, said this morning that his class had decided that it would not hold the freshman to the rule any longer this year. "We are going to make today the last day for the caps this year," said the second year executive. "We feel that the freshmen have worn the caps long enough."
REFUSES FINE ART DEANSHIP
Former Head of Wisconsin School of Fine Arts Not Applicant
L. A. Coore, formerly dean of the School of Fine Arts at the University of Wisconsin, applied for the deanship at the University of Kansas some time ago, but on hearing that the vacancy was created by the demotion of Dean C. S. Skilton, he withdrew his application.
Mr. Coerne until a year ago was head of the School of Fine Arts at Wisconsin, but was removed in much the same way as Dean Skilton. He has been teaching privately since then.
A few weeks ago, he learned of the vacancy here, and applied for it. When the facts of the situation were known by him, he withdrew his appraisal and resumed the position. Dean Skilton and refused to seek the position under the circumstances.
TO STAGE ARCHERY CONTEST
Women's Game Postponed from May Fete to be Given Friday
The women's archery contest that was postponed from the time of the May Fete on account of the failure of the new arrows to arrive will be staged north of Fowler Shops Friday afternoon at 4clock.
The contestant that makes the highest number of points will be awarded the Gustafson trophy. Attempts are being made to have Mr. Gustafson present the trophy but he must yet given his consent to appear.
REVENUE PAYS INSTRUCTOR
Money From Outside Work Meets
Salary of Skilled Molder
Fowler Shops may fairly claim to be "working their way through school." The shops have always done the repair work of the University. In addition to this a great deal of machine work and foundry work is done for which they are charged according to a regular schedule of prices.
Old steam pumps are rebuilt and put in first class working order. Small pumps which use city water, to pump rain water, are remodeled and fitted with electric motors. The industrial research fellows have many years of experience making the shops for which they are charged, as outsiders.
The revenue from foundry work done for outsiders is more than sufficient to pay for the services of the skilled molder who is employed to aid in teaching foundry work. A "heat" averaging nearly two tons is taken off about once a week. Brain damage can be a major problem here for different street railway companies. The work is bid in by competition.
Challenge Faculty
"Dutch" Wedell,
Chairman,
Floyd Loveless
Harold C. Coffman,
We, the members of the senior baseball committee, as representatives of the class of 1915, hereby challenge members of the faculty to a baseball game of the afternoon of Class Day, June 8, as a curtain raise to the senior-alumni game.
PROFS FAIL TO PASS LOAN FUND PETITIONS
Canvass Shows That Many Students Have Not Seen Pledge Papers Yet
Men and Women of University to Have Chance to Sign if Committee's Request is Followed
ASKS INSTRUCTORS TO HELP
Already the employment bureau of the University has received the applications of fifty-nine men for employment next year. Many of the men are students at the University at this time. About one hundred and fifty places are open to students for permanent work.
Petitions Not Passed
"It will be impossible to give all the men that apply employment," said Con Hoffmann, in charge of the employment bureau, this morning. "Last year men were forced to leave school on account of the lack of work and this year men quit the University for the same reason. A $500,000 loan fund would help greatly in relieving the situation."
A canvass made of fourteen students who happened to be in one building of the University at the same time yesterday afternoon resulted in statements from six to the effect that they had never seen a petition to the loan fund. In each case the student said the paper had not been passed in any class of which he was a member.
Many students have gone to the Registrar's office to get the chance to contribute to the fund. Several members of the faculty have inquired concerning petitions for them but the committee has refused to accept their offer until it has arranged to make a campaign of the faculty. Three members of the faculty signed their names to the petitions they passed in their class for five dollars or more each.
Will Begin Collecting
The work of collecting the amount that the students have pledged will commence some time this week. The campaign for contributions from the faculty will probably start the last week of school and money to the fund may be found at any time at the office of the Registrar, in Fraser Hall.
The work of the campaign among the students will continue even after the campaign of members of the faculty begins. After the faculty campaise is finished the committee will begin the campaign in the state. The commissioner must not yet circulated petitions in their classes are asked to do so at once.
HAVE FRAMED PICTURES OF ENGINEERING ROOMS
Forty framed pictures of the laboratory and classroom scenes of the School of Engineering have been on exhibit in Weaver's store window down town the past week. The pictures are a collection that has been arranged for display at the museum and institutes to show the people of Kansas the workings of the School of Engineering and to interest probable students.
The collection was first exhibited May 13 and 14 at an Engineers' meeting at Wichita. When not in use the pictures will be bung in the hallways of Marvin and Haworth Halls.
Prof. Hesser Returns
Prof. F. R. Hesser, of the department of sanitary engineering, returned Saturday from Neodesha where he had been for several weeks completing his experiment with the plant he designed for the disposal of some of the wastes of the oil refineries which has been causing so much complaint along the Verdigris river. He reports that his experiment has been successful and is engaged now in finishing his final report on the work.
