UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 18. 1915.
A. T. Swanson, '12, of Stockton, Calif.
Will Leave Gift to
Alma Mater
Eara Palmer of Denver, a graduate of the University in the class of 1894, which started the present student loan fund by giving to it the profit on its senior play, was in Lawrence yesterday and made a contribution of $100 to the $50,000 loan fund. Mr. Palmer visited the University in company with Prof. E. F. Engel and expressed delight at the headway which the loan fund movement is making. "I am going to appeal to several other members of my class, with whom I am in touch," he said, "and I am confident that they will be glad to help swell the fund which they originated."
A. T. Swanson, of the class of 1912 announces in a letter to the committee that he has made provision in his will for a gift to the University. Mr. Swanson's home is in Stockton, California, and he also owns a sheep ranch in Riley County, Kansas.
The loan fund agitation is causing much favorable comment from alumni all over the United States and many letters are coming in to the committee congratulating them on the movement.

K. U. MAN ON LUSITANIA
Clarence Nash, a Former Student and Instructor Among the Missing
The significance of the Lusianaia disaster was brought home to the University of Kansas by the death of Clarence A. Nash, a former student and instructor who registered from Sterling. Since the report was first circulated several days ago, his many friends among the students and faculty have been anxiously waiting to hear it refuted, but as no further news of him has been received, they have finally given up hope.
Mr. Nash came to the University five years ago with an A. B. degree from Cooper College, and entered the Graduate School. While working for his master's degree, which he received in 1910, and for the next two years, he instructed in chemistry. In 1912 he was made instructor in physical chemistry at the University of Chicago, and after two years there was hired at Central College, Danville, Kentucky, as head of the department of chemistry. He had just completed his first year in that position.

FEW WOMEN GO TO MARVIN
One Hour Class in Shop Opened in 1907 and Discontinued in 1911
Engineering has never been a popular course for women at the University. However, five women have been enrolled regular, in the School of Engineering since it was founded and many have taken special courses. Elmura Noyes, Bori Boright, Ada Wilson, Martha Ellen White, and Stephen McCarthy were peers between the years of 1901-1904; but none of them were graduated. Miss Wilson was a chemical engineer, the others were civilis.

Shop for Women
In 1907, a one hour class in shop work was opened for women. There were eighteen women enrolled and their work was in special marital training, such as wood-work and carpentry. When they were timed until 1911 when it was given owing to lack of teaching time of instructors in the department.
Several high school teachers come to Summer School for the purpose of taking Engineering courses. Drafting, mechanical drawing, descriptive geometry, and foundation work are the skills that women in the Summer School.
THIEF STOLE PURSE

THIEF STOLE PURSE
"I don't want to cook with my rings on," thought Norma Jamieson when she with other members of the class in selection and economic uses of foods started to prepare a special last night in the basement of Prussia, where they were ring in my pose and leave them in this box, where they'll be safe."
Miss Jamieson left the box in the outside laboratory and went into the next room to begin cooking. About an hour later when the meal had been prepared and catch she went for the dinner with the cooks, eating $5 and the pearl ring was gone.
He took the inoculation as anyone does, but fainted after he had walked out into the hall. He is accustomed to having these fainting spells and it passed off a short time. Spangler is a son of Mrs. Caroline B. Spangler and Mr. Joseph F. Spangler and is a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.

Committee Hopes to Make it an Annual Affair
Here
G. C. Harding, chairman of the senior ball committee, announces that the plans for the senior ball are under way and that tickets can be obtained at the check stand in Fraser Hall with the invitations tomorrow.
The tickets are free to seniors and alumni and their partners. To others a charge of 50 cents is made. A fourpiece orchestra, either by Ray Ha'l or Swede Wilson, will furnish the music.
The ball will be given on Class Day, June 8, beginning at 9:15 o'clock. In order that it may seem like old times to the 'aumi', the program is made up of one-half old dances and the other half the new steps.
This is the second ball that the graduating class of the University has staged at commencement time. Last year a party was given by the alumni. The committee hopes to make this an emotional affair similar to the spring graduation in Illinois where the bull is quite as auspicious an event as the Junior Prom.
CRAMMING NOT HARMFUL
So Says Prof. R. M. Ogden, of the Department of Psychology
Students may cram for the finals as much as they wish and it will not hurt them either—that is if they go at it right. Prof. R. M. Ogden, of the department of psychology says so. "Gramming may be beneficial, instead of injurious, to the student," says the psychologist. "It has been demonstrated by experiments that, when one works under pressure, memory is more rapid than it is faster. If you go quicker, fast, you'll not only get it quicker, but you'll retain the thought better and get more out of it."
The "dryer" the subject, however,
he went on to explain, the slower one
has to read it. One can easily read
fast of the subject is uninteresting.
May be Harmful
"In heterogeneous subjects, however, in which the thoughts are not linked together," he said, "cramming is not beneficial but harmful. If a student studies one subject a while, then suddenly changes to another, and so on, without rest between, he will become confused and will get poor results from his study. But if he takes enough rest to allow the thought to set, before taking up the new subject, he will be able to retain the thoughts."
BOARD SENDS QUESTIONS
TO FACULTY ABOUT WORK
The Board of Administration wants to know how much work the faculty is doing every week and has sent to each member a list of questions.
The blanks are given out through the Registrar's office. The list contains twenty-four queries, among them: "How many hours in classroom, class work, conference with students and associates, hours of study and research activities, convention work. There is a blank for the teacher to state other activities that demand his time and attention.
Prof. Joseph E. Welker, of the department of sanitary engineering, will leave tonight for Clyde where he may make investigations regarding a proposed sewage system and sewage disposal plant.

YOUNG TEDDY O'LEARY A FAMOUS INHABITANT Pet of Two Sorority Houses
Young Tiddy O'Leary is without doubt the most famous inhabitant of Louisiana street, not even excepting the Chancellor and the Phi Psis. Stroll along his neighborhood any morning and you will see him, fiercely arrayed as an Indian, perhaps, or possibly he will be mere'y a very small person in manly blue jumpers. If you are like most grownups, you will probably approach him something after this manner, "Little boy, what is your na-" but Teddy will beat you to it, for experience has taught him how to save time. He will enlighten you thusly: "My name is Theodore Morgan O'Leary. I am four years old. I will be five next Christmas time. I was born in England."
Quits Alpha Delta P
Teddy used to be an Alpha Delta Pi man almost exclusively, but recently he has discovered that the Thetas are very nice, too, and almost any afternoon he may be found swinging away on the Theta swing and tightly squeezing the hand of Jo Martin, his special love. He proved this love the other day when the Alpha Delta asked him to bestow a name on their Kewpie. Teddy thought a moment, then a flash of inspiration lighted his eye. "Sure, I'll名他 him Theodore Augusta Jo Martin!" he cried.
They almost had a fuss a few days ago. Jo and Teddy were having their customary afternoon date in the swing when Teddy suddenly remarked, "Well, Jo, I guess I'll go now and call on my other girl." "Dear me, Teddy," said Jo, "It's much too late to be calling on a young lady at this hour." Quick as a flash, Teddy jumped down in a huff. "Good by, then," he said with dignity, and marched off. It took Jo sometime to convince him that she had intended no slight on his calling hours. "Well," he finally said, "If you really want me to come back, I guess you'll take hold of me and just pull me into the swing."
JAYHAWKERS TASTE DEFEAT FROM AGGIES
Has Literary Gifts
Apparently, Teddy inherits some literary gifts from his father. "No girls, I can't come over this afternoon," he told the Thetas one day, "I have altogether too many themes to write." He's not a high-brow though. One of the girls had heard that he could quote Beowulf by the reel and so asked for a demonstration. Teddy looked at her in pain surprised. "Say," he said, reproachfully. "You know, I'm only four years old."

K. S. A. C. Take First Game From Kansas by Score of 5 to 3
MOSS ON MOUND FOR KANSAS
Play Second Time Today and go to Columbia Thursday to Meet
MOSS ON MOUND FOR KANSAS
Tigers for Revenge
Today's baseball game has been called off on account of rain. This removes all hopes of the Angels tying the four game series against the Missouri Valley Championship to Kansas without a doubt.
The Jayhawkers tasted defeat for the first time in the 1915 baseball season yesterday when the Kansas Aggies coped the first game of the series 5 to 3. The game was slow throughout and an occasional sensational play repaid the small but enthusiastic crowd for its attendance. Yesterday's game will not affect the Kansas chances to any extent for McCarty's men could lose all the rest of the games this season and still take the championship. A victory today will remove all doubt about it and the Kansas can journey to Missouri Thursday with a satisfied feeling.
Moss on Mound
Coach McCarty chose "Changhai" Moss to represent Kansas on the mound against Hodson of the Aggies. This Jayhawker proved to be cool-headed at all stages of the game and with the fine support of his teammates made things hot for the Farmers for the first six innings. The fact that Red Craig was allowed to sit in the grand stand "all followed up" with the coach saying "Coach McCarty is not worried over the championship any more. However, Red will probably be against the Aggies in the game today.
As in the second Missouri game Wood hit the first ball of the game to the left field fence for three bases. The follow-up men on the batting list could not land a safe one and Woody was still on the third sack when the round ended. In the third Morrow started the scoring by choosing Section E of the south bleachers for the two-bagger and scored when DeLongy singled to left. Moss scored a hit through third and was brought in when Lindsay took his turn to plant one in Sec. E.
Tie Score in Eighth
In the eighth the Aggies brought in two runs which tied the score at 3 all but in the next round they repeated by scoring two more making a lead which the Jayhawks could not pass in the final round.
Among the thrilling events of the game must be considered Lindsay's hare handed stab into the apparently safe hit which Frank of the Agries drove to second in the race. Lindsay beaded the air and closed her hands on the elusive pill, a feat which kept the crowd yelling for a few minutes.
Plav Today
The same teams are playing on McCook this afternoon and McCarty says that the Jayhawkers are going to make a harder attempt to win today. This is the team's last appearance at home this year as they leave Thursday to finish the season at Missouri.
MUST FILE NOTICE OF MAJOR THIS MONTH
"During the last month of his sophomore year each student must file with the Dean notice of the department in which he applies for the privilege of selecting his major, giving his reasons for the choice. The Dean will notify the department upon received oblige to such application and the student will confer with the department with reference to the work of his junior and senior years."
Sophomores are expected to comply with the provisions of the above faculty regulation at their earliest convenience. I shall be glad to receive applications daily from 3 to 4 a'clock.
Janioris desiring to change their major department should file requests at the same time.
