SEASON OF STRAW HATS
APPEARS EARLY HERE
Straw hat season will begin officially next Tuesday, but several members of the faculty and student body will be wearing their stetson's degree hat already donned the straw bonnets and the corresponding ice-cream suits and pumps. Quite a number of the ventureures ones appeared so attired last week, but the wave of chilly weather yesterday and today has cooled their enthusiasm for the seer-suckers and ricecrawst.
This year's straws have departed from the tail models in favor last spring, and are returning to more normal lines. If the weather stays favorable you may expect to see them out in force Sunday.
SHORT STORY WRITER
LECTURES IN FRAASER
Mr. J. Berg Esenwein讲 to an audience of 500 in Fraser chapel this weekend.
"The word 'made' is made up of two classes of people, those who interest you and those who don't, and all writers who declare that a person has declared. "The thing that makes a writer interesting is whether he has an interesting or unusual way of looking at things. The most interesting person is the man being of unusual personal appeal,
The piano which has served in the Gym for various forms of athletic exercises has been boxed up and moved to where it will be used in the May Fete.
The University Women's Association will hold its annual meeting at the home of Mrs. Frank Strong, 1345 Avenue, street May, 10 at, 2:30 o'clock
"My advice to prospective short-story writers is this: Open your hearts and minds. Know things besides the things in which you expect to specialize. Know sport, religion, sociology, everything."

RAIN PREVENTS USUAL JAYHAWKER DEDICATION
Chancellor Calls for University Book; Prof. Thorpe Did Not Speak
Jape Pluvius tipped his sprinkle a little too far this morning and the dignified ceremonies attending the formal presentation of the 1915 Jayhawker to the University went up in mud.
Blair Hackney was too anxious to start the sale to let Prof. Merle Thorpe make his speech as was planned. The Chancelor wanted to picture the book so he called early for his year book and forgot the ceremonies.
Ordinarily when the Jayhawker comes out in the spring the campus and steps of the building are decorated with students eager to find their first jobs. After playing the University band played on the east steps of Fraser in an effort to give a gala touch to the occasion; then the Jayhawker came out of his hiding place with a lusty croak. With students waiting students nounced on the bird.
The Jayhawker is the property of the University.
Have Been Chosen as Jayhawker
Tennis Team to Play Missouri
After two weeks of hard work the tennis team has been chosen and Dix Teachoren and Verne C. Wilson are the two men who will represent Kanae Maruki, Ishi Yamashita and Friday and Saturday. They will leave for Tiger territory tonight.

It is probable that an additional man will be chosen to join these two in the Missouri Valley tennis tournament at Lincoln, Nebraska next week and for the Oklahoma dual meet at Norman, May 22.
Captain Teacheren will handle the singles at Missouri and will work with Wilson in the doubles. It was thought at first that three men would be better play on the field, but could not be found who possessed the necessary ability and Teacheren decided that he had better play on both teams. Teacheren played on the Jayhawker team last year and was provided one of the best in the Valley.

GASOLINE IN CISTERN
OVERCOMES PROFESSOR
W. J. Baumgartner, of De partiment of Zoology, Revived by Langmotor
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, associate professor of zoology, was nearly asphyxinated late yesterday afternoon at his home 1025 Ohio street when he went down into his cistern which had cleaned out with a gasoline solution.
Berta Eichenauer, freshman in the College, who lives at the Baumpartner home, heard Professor Baumpartner groan and summoned Rev. Stanton Olinger, who was passing, to the office where he cibern, not knowing that it was full of gas. He attempted to get Professor Baumpartner with a rope, but was also overcome by the gas. He managed to climb out before he beamed. He answered, and asked that the palmote be brought down from the University.
Crowd Soon Gathers
Many people had collected and through their efforts were able to carry Professor Baumgartner out of the cistern. Dr. G. W. Jones was summoned from next door and administered a dose of time. The professor Baumgartner had fully recovered. He is meeting classes as usual this morning.
"KANSAS ENGINEER" MAY 20
The "Kansas Engineer," the technical magazine compiled by the students of the School of Engineering will be ready for distribution May 20, according to Emmett F. Schooley, business manager.
The plan to put the magazine on sale Engineers' Day was flailed by delay in obtaining some the promised articles. These are now ready for the compositor and will be put in print as soon as possible.
The publication had little difficulty in obtaining advertising, and the men in charge say that the "Kansas Enforcers" suddenly become an annual publication.
This first issue will be 1000 copies 500 of which are already sold.
ZOOLOGY STUDENTS TO PUGET SOUND JUNE 1
An unusually large number of University people expect to go to Puget Sound for the zoology course. Puget Sound is also home to J. Baumgartner, who has charge of the trip. Thirty from the University of Kansas will leave Kansas City for St. Paul June 12 in a special car. Students at the university will take them the rest of the trip.
The party will stop in the Canadian Rockies for several days to visit the glaciers and hot sulphur springs and to take a train to Victoria. Work will begin June 21. A special car from Wisconsin will probably join the party on the way. A number of bungtoppers are expecting at least 150 people at Puecat Sound this summer.

FISHERMEN GET JAWS OF MASTODON IN MUD
Dr. Snow Drags Out Catch
The following is the story of the finding of the Mastodon jaws which are now on exhibit in the Museum as to'd by the late N. P, Deming of Lawrence and H. T, Martin, assistant of the department of paleontology;
One summer's day in the early history of the University, a party of fishermen composed of Dr. F. H. Snow, Chancellor John Fraser, and the late N. P. Deming, the narrator, hiked on to Wakaraus creek fishing. A fair size bag of fish had already been caught by a boat for the biggest catch, when Dr. Snow determined to reach deeper water, stepped onto what looked like an old tree stump. After fishing from this vantage point Tor some time, he suddenly slipped off the stump. Upon trying to regain a footing on the slippery mass, he found this supposed fish was naturally of an investigating nature, he examined it more fully, and found it to be of a stony nature.
Flinging his fish pole to land, and disregarding the prospects of a muddy investigation, he rolled up his sleeps and tried to move the object nearer the bank, this feat proved too much for his strength, so calling his companion the catch and found to the Doctor's joy, that he had discovered a magnificent pair of under jaws of the early Mastodon that used to roam around Lawrence in the Pleiosocome period. Although late in the day, the specimen there over night, but hurried to town, secured a rig and hauled it to a safe repository. This was probably one of the first important specimens, and perhaps the starter towards the now paleontologist-era Museum of the History Museum. The specimen can be seen in the south room, on the top floor of the Museum, at the south end of tall case No. 37.
WOMEN WIN SCORES FOR ENTOMOLOGISTS
The Entomological Club and students in that department, made their seventeenth annual hike Monday to Vinland, where they were the guests for the day of Mr. W. E. Barnes, owner of one of the most beautiful horticultural farms in the state which has been his home since 1856.
Make Good in Afternoon Games
According to their custom the morning was given over to the study of orchard and field life, but after the picnic dinner field sports held sway. The most exciting of these was a base ball game which Professor H. B. R. Garwood and P. W. Classewn chose up sides. Even the women took part and from the final score which stood 2 to 3 in favor of Professor Hunggerford's nine, two of the points were made by women. Fifty people made the hike and those who were not on the teams, sat in real 'bachers' and watched the game. Besides the ball game there were foot races, tug of war and individual stunts.
PROF. MILLIS WRITES

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ENDS CONCERT COURSE
Plays to Afternoon and Evening Audiences; 2200 Attend Last Number
DEAN SKILTON GETS FLOWERS
Students of School of Fine Arts Presents Musician With Boquets During Evening
Miss Beck Sings
The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra fifty performers strong, appeared twice in Robinson Gymnastics yesterday—and approximately 2200 people attended, applauded and came forward with joy. A wonderful magic of symphony music.
Under the direction of Emil Oberhoffer, the orchestra presented two varied programs of strictly classical music in two sessions and 8:10 o'clock at night. The Gpm was packed on both occasions, and the sixth and seventh numbers of the twelfth annual concert course have been in history as immense successes.
During the afternoon program, Alma Beck sang a contralto solo; Cornelius Van Vliet a violoncello selection with the Marienac accompaniment and Marieschard baritone solo. All three performers were heartily encroached. The suite from "Woodland Sketches" seemed to be the best received orchestra selection. Cesar Franck's "Symphony in D Minor," an involved affair in three weeks, was better part of an hour, was the opening orchestra rendition in the evening.
Flowers for Dean Skilton
Dea C. S. Skilton, of the School of Fine Arts, directed the orchestra in the featured numbers of the evening—two of his own compositions：“Pride to the Opera,” Ticonderoga, or “The Altar,” The Thoughts. Both selections met with great favor, and Dean Skilton was repeatedly called back to the platform by the aplause of the crowd. At the close of his second number, a committee from the School of Fine Arts presented the work of three young flowers. William Downing, professor of voice, in the School of Fine Arts, contributed a vocal solo, “The Desolate City,” and also received a rousing ovation and a bouquet of roses from the “home solo.” Marie Sunny was invited to accompany Michaela's Aria from "Carmen" Albert Lindquest, "that chubby man with the eyebrows and the smile—and the voice," was called back for two encoches, and finally had to appease the admiring feminine contending with Richard Czerwonkowy, violin solosist, made a distinct hit, and was called back for two encoches.
Dean Skilton Well Pleased
"We are delighted with the success of this year's concerts. The attendance this year has far exceeded that of any preceding year." declared Mr. Rudnick, who said "People have showed more enthusiasm and have entered into the spirit of the festival more than ever before. We are already beginning to make plans for next year's concerts, although our own plans have been determined upon."
Commenting on the *Mineapolis* Orchestra performances Dean Skilton said: "Every member of the Orchestra was an artist and was well rested. The artist and the cellist have always been favorites with the Lawrence people."
SENIOR ELECTRICAL GETS APPOINTMENT
Leon M. Bocker, senior electrical Engineer, of Solomon, has secured an appointment with the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, of Pittsburgh, Pa. He will report for work on September 27.
Bocker is the only student at the University who will receive a place with the Westinghouse Company this year. He has a position at Longs Peak Inn at Estes Park, Colo., during the summer months.
