CROWD SEES WOMEN PRACTICE FOR FETE
Those Who Watched Rehearsal Last Night Became Its Boosters
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 13. 1915
SOLO DANCES ARE VERY GOOD
Women of All Classes Work Hard to Make the Affair a Success
J. C. McCanles, leader of the K. U. band, has arranged all the music which was a simple piano score for the band instruments, and the effect is bewitching. The solo dances in themselves are enough to show that from an air of Helen Topping in the Sunflower Dance is grace personified. J. B. McNaught and Grace Clark, as the Winds of Spring as they come floating down in gray garments over the green grass dancers, and Gladys Harries in the Butterfly Dance as she flutters on the tips of her toes is entracing.
Auto parties passing through the University grounds last evening, professors out strolling and couples wandering around waiting for the prom benefit to begin, all clustered around the Gymnasium to watch the rehearsal of the May Fete as the women practiced to the accompaniment of the band. Those who were not ready properly by duskastic about the Fete immediately became so, and some automobilists from Topeka were heard to remark that the dancing was one of the prettiest things they had ever seen.
The University women as a whole have never before taken such an active part or such a keen interest in teaching, and the gymnasium classes have been represented and then have had to be forced to take part, but this year every class from the freeshman to the graduate class were working from their own free wills.
McCanles Arranges Music
Plan to Start at 4:30
The afternoon program will commence promptly at 4:30. A chorus of senior maidens enter first singing and dancing. The music for the dance is the "Morgentimmink" from the Peer Gynt suite.

PLAYS MISSOURI TOMORROW
Jayhawkers to Start Second Game at
3 o'clock Because of Faee
Missouri and Kansas are playing the first game of the 1915 season between the two schools on McCook Field this afternoon. Missouri comes here from a two days series with the Kansas Aggies in which they won the first and lost the last. This gives the Jayhawkers the edge on the Tigers for the conference championship and a victory today and tomorrow will face the crimson and blue team. Red Craig is working in the box today and Lefty Sproull will probably face the Missourians to-morrow.
The game tomorrow will begin at 3 o'clock so that it will be over by the time the May Fete starts. Student tickets admit to both games.

FOUND AT SIGMA NUS
AL P.COOR Died Yesterday
Al E. Gator Died Yesterday
Sobs and tears pervade the home of the Sigma Nus' today. Members of that fraternity show the sadness in their hearts by the downcast expressions of their gloomy faces. Al E, Gator, mascot of the chapter for the past month, is dead. Death and according to the verdict given by the coroner's jury it was caused by lack of attention.
For the past week Allie has been missing. A cross examination of the freshmen who were intrusted with his care, failed to reveal anything of his whereabouts. Yesterday afternoon he was discovered in one of the windows in a very much weaker building. The system failed to prevent a sinking spell, and in the afternoon the dull eyes were closed for the last time.
The trial of the guilty nephytes was held last night. They plead guilty of the charge of criminal negligence and inattention and were sentenced to receive sundry blows from the chapter paddle.

SENIOR MEMORIAL NOW ASSURED FOR CAMPUS
Arrangements Have Bee Made to Have It Completed June 1
Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, of the department of architectural engineering, and Willis G. Whitten, chairman of the Senior Memorial committee, arranged for the building of the bulletin board which the senior class will build as its memorial to the University. One half of the class, paid their does on the first day of spring, which assured the financing of the plan.
The $100 collected from the class last year together with the $100 already paid in this year and an equal amount which is still to be collected, assures a total of $300 with which to pay for the board. A blue print of the memorial was shown to the senate during the debate, and much favorable comment, was expressed at the artistic plan which Whitten has drawn up.
The board will be located between Green Hall and Fraser near the mail box. It will be triangular in shape with two sides for the posting of notices and the third side for the inscription of the class. The committee hopes to have the board up by June 1.
DANCE PAYS ONE-FIFTH DEBT
Ray Hall Party Contributes Ten Dollar to Remaints to Deficit
In spite of the fact that the thermometer recorded a temperature of ninety at sundown on fifty-five couples came out to trip the light fantastic and incidently to help raise the Junior Prom deficit.
The post Prom dance given in the gym last night was a great success from the standpoint of a good time but did not lift the Prom debt according to Alex Creighton, manager of the dance.
MISSOURI MEET WILL BE CLOSE SATURDAY
"The music was good and everybody had a good time," said Creighton, "but owing probably to the hot temperature and the nearness of the males they played, you have to make the dance a very great success financially. Ten dollars above expenses was cleared. This will not any ways near make up deficits of the Prem but there will further attempt to raise the rest."
The Daily Kansas Board last night elected Carghill Sproul, Mauresn McKernan, Vernon Beer, Zetha Hammer, and Claylayer. The new members will take their places on the Board next September.
Kansan Elects Five
The women of the University are selling tickets for the May Fete at 25 cents for a single admission afternoon or night, or 35 cents for the two performances. The ticket seller is suppose to give out the tickets of the ticket when making the sale for one admission and return the part kept to the chairman of the ticket committee.
Fete Tickets Are on Sale
Manager Hamilton Says Tigers Will Know They Have Been in Meet
"Without a doubt it will be a hard meet," said William Oliver Hamilton after practice yesterday. "We will not concede them the meet or anything like it but we will say that when the Tigers get through they will know that they have been in one awful track meet. Each man on our team has to prove that better than is expected of him if we are to win. I hope to see the largest crowd on hand that has ever witnessed a track meet on McCook."
Meanwhile the sport writers will continue to figure out the dope but the weather and condition of the men on the day of the meet will count for more than past performances. The Kansas team has finished its hard work and will take only a slight workout today and tomorrow.
With the Missouri-Kansas track meet only two days off the Jayhawkers are on unasy street over the prospects. Practice has been going on continually and hard since the return from the Cornhusker invasion but the desired results have not been obtained.
But let not the casual observer think for a moment that Kansas has not a show. Dope, it is true favors the Tigers, but in past years dope has been upset a few times and Coach Hamilton is hoping that his men will benefit by the break of luck in Saturday's affair.
Kansas is still weak on the sprints and hurdles and it is in these events that the Tigers will win their side of the score. Missouri on the other team, who is expected to win the sprints, both hurdles and the broad jump.
They have other men almost equally as good who are expected to work well with Simpson. Nielorp is figuring on winning the quarter mate, and the team has those who have watched the practice close say that it cannot be done. Elliott and Heath have shown only slight improvement on the hurdles since the meet last week and will have to try better on Saturday to win a place.
In the distances Kansas has a little better advantage but this is not any great amount. Captain Edwards is not fully recovered from his sickness of last week and it is not known just what he will enter against the Tigers. Grady and Poos are expected to meet the word much to the Kline of Missouri in the two mile. It will be remembered that in the indoor meet Kline was only a yard or two behind the Kansas men at the finish.
The typhoid inoculation in the basement of the Dyche Museum is postponed from Friday to 4 to 5 o'clock Monday.

BUILDINGS COVER TEN ACRES
University Steam Pipes End to End Would Reach Hutchinson
if all the buildings on Mount Oread were one big building, that building would cover approximately ten acres.
all the rooms in all the buildings on Mount Oread were one big room, but one room of air space, more than one man could breathe in nine years. If all the windows in all the rooms in all buildings on Mount Oread were one big window, that window would require a pane of glass more than one window.
There are enough steam pipes laid in the buildings and on the campus to reach if they were reduced to one meter. The grid of radiation a distance of 176 miles, about as far as it is—in a straight line from Lawrence to Concordia, Ellsworth, Hutchinson, Wichita Falls, Independence, or Columbus.
According to other statistics, the floor acreage of the various buildings on the campus is as follows: Fraser, 1.36 acres, library 47, Museum .97, Law .57, Blake .36, Medicine 19, Snow .72, Chemistry .89, Repair Shop .132, Administration .75, Haworth .51, Martin .105, power plant .22.
The electric power that may be generated by the power plant is sufficient to light 5083 ordinary 16 cancele power incandescent lamps. There are 224 electric lamps in the administration Building.
SIGN CONTRACTS FOR ROOMS
Students Must Agree to Stay Fixed Time According to New Rule
According to an agreement made between the roaming house landladies and a committee of the faculty contracts must be signed this next year. And if the student is under age the contract must be signed by his parent or guardian. Many students have been under the misapprehension of the court, them to remain the entire year but this is not true unless so stated. These contracts read "by the year, by the semester or, by the month." When the student signs it he may receive a letter that he does not care to be bound.
In the case of rushees the contract may be signed "by the month," then the rushee may leave the room if he is bid fraternity and desires to move to the house, or if not bid may sign a new contract engaging the room for the rest of the semester or the year.
These contracts also bind the landlady to certain requirements in regard to the room. When it is possible a minimum temperature of 70 degrees must be maintained, and a definite amount of cleaning and linen supplies must be provided. The location of full rent or half rent during holidays must be settled between the landlady and the student when the contract is signed.

Letha Oglesby Will Appear in Second Recital in Fraser Tonight

STUDENT LOAN FUND IS SLOWLY GROWING
Other Things Take Students' Time But Leaders Are Confident
$100 ALREADY SUBSCRIBED
A Rumor That A Prominent Alumnus
Will Give $1000 is Not
Denied
Intrusion of Prom Benefits, May Fetes, and the like, has occupied a large portion of the students' time of late and as a result the Student Loan Collection has rapidly as was expected. However the showing is good considering the conditions, and those in charge of the proposition expressed an opinion this morning that the fund would re-evaluate more attention within a few days.
"In the neighborhood of $100 has been subscribed thus far," said George O. Foster this morning, "and we expect a good deal more as soon as the subscription lists begin to come in. The teachers have not turned in their lists as rapidly as we had hoped for and of course this makes it easier to have our students rate figures on the amount contributed. However we expect to have the lists in today and an announcement of the progress will be made."
The rumor circulated yesterday that an alumnus had subscribed $1,000 was partially verified this morning by Mr. Foster. "It is practically certain he sailed one of our recentent alumnus will gift him but he has not given us his final word yet. He is communicating with several of those connected with the loan fund, in regard to the best way to manage his gift, and problem solving than his final decision real soon. Until then his name will not be given out."
Petitions will be in every class room until all students and faculty members have had a chance to pledge allegiance. You can also contribute. No effort will be made to get money from outside sources until the campaign is finished here. Work on the campaign materials, and control of the Board of Administration is being prepared.
CIVILIZATION IS MISTAKE
Dr. Goldsborough Says Modern People Dr. Kill Work of Simpler Races
Perhaps the saddest mistake that has been made in the universal attempt to introduce our civilization among the simpler races has been the destruction of almost all that once was theirs in the hope that things of value were preserved, have lost much. Instead, the natives have留了 much and gained but little.
Under friendly direction, the wonderful wood carving of the Maoris might have been preserved and modified to find a profit producing market for the natives. The embroidered shawls worn by Maoris to the admiration of all who beheld them, so beautiful were their designs and soft their texture. Even so low a race as that of Australia can produce basket work of superior quality and beauty, it still provides a means of attaining affluence from the native standpoint.
The salvation of their very souls lies in the maintenance of their respect as self supporting men and women, yet even while we preach morality, we permit their only hope of maintainance it to dwindle through own interest to fund labor for the fruits of their labor and invention.
Women will practice archery at the May Fete tomorrow afternoon. Twelve or fourteen will compete for the cup which B. F. Gustafson, the jeweler, has offered for the one that runs up the most points.
WOMEN TO PRACTICE
ARCHERY TOMORROW
The women have been working on archery for some time and will give the first public display of their skill at the Fete tomorrow.
