Tomorrow the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra will give two concerts one at 2:30 o'clock and the other at 8:15 o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium. The orchestra brings musicians including eight soloists.
Two Compositions Written And Conducted by University Man to be a Feature of Evening Program
The concert programs of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra tomorrow present a wide variety of music suited to all tastes. For the classical style there is the Spring symphony (which was performed in Lawrence, and Schubert's "Rosamund" Overture, once presented by the University Orchestra, also a favorite aria from "Carmen." American music is represented by the "Woodstock," the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Oberhoffer has arranged for orchestra especially for this trip.
Of especial interest is a song with orchestral accompaniment, "The Dessert"
ALBERT LINDQUEST, Tenor
Prof, Preyer Can't Appear
olate the city" by Mabel W. Daniels, one of the most recent American composers, a member of the MacDowell colony at Peterborough, N. H., where the song was first performed. It has since been given with the Boston Pops and on other albums and is on the program for the World's Fair. This is the number in which Mr. Downing will appear as soloist.
Modern Italian composers are rep resented by a tenor aria from Puccini's "La Boheme," and the Russians by the curious "Caucasian Sketches" of Ippolito-Ivanoff, and the French by the "Rondo Capriccioso" of St Saens for violin, which will be played by Mr. Czerwenkow.
Professor Preyer had been expected to play his own "Concert Piece" with the orchestra in response to many requests since he played it with the Kansas City Orchestra over a year ago, but is unable to do so. Two short compositions by Dean Schoenfeld were performed at the time, the Prelude to his opera "Ti-conderora" and a Lullaby, "The Sand Man."
The program:
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 4.1915.
There are impid pools covered in water lilies with aspen and pines reflecting themselves in the water, dashing waterfalls flinging out spray, snow-capped mountain peaks and massive boulders, and then there are wonderful scenes of our own campus, North Hollow, Midtown, and the snowy paths through the Foresten scenes, St. Paul's Cathedral at Venice, and the Coats at Nervi, Italy, are shown in all their beauty and grandeur.
Except for the fineness of detail the pictures which are being exhibited by the Camera Club on the third floor of the Administration Building might be mistaken at first glance to be works in charcoal. The drawings are carefully softened and worked in together as to astonish the uninitiated.
The Camera Club is composed of faculty members and students who are interested in artistic photography. Among those who have worked with the camera are E. Melvin, E. S. Weatherby, H. S. Foster, Auntie S. Wight, Lena V. Miller, and Mrs. M. B. Wilson, R. P. McKinley and Earl Saunders.
The full length portrait of an Indian by E. D. S. Weatherby is especially good, and moonlight on the Kaw by his memories to many alumni. The foreign scenes by Annie I. Wight are handsome, and the water scenes of R. P. McKinley are so realistic that you can jump out of the pools and rivers.
Gladys Gibb, freshman Fine Arts has pledged Ft Beta Phi.
Delta Phil Delta, honorary art seri-
sory, has pledged Hazel Gould, of
Kansas City and Helen Hart, of Bonner
Springs.
At Morning Prayers

Thought That Chi Omega
Candidate is Elected
Can the women keep a secret?
It's over a week before the name of the May Queen is to be announced a word insists on being passed around.
"S-hh-i-h!" they say, "I think
you got it," meaning the
largest vote.
But Miss Gittins says no one knows except three women who positively can keep a secret. So there you are.
Four women were voted on for the honor of May Queen, Helen Rigby, Genevieve Herrick, Mary Powell, and Genevieve Walker. The name of the winner is not to be "officially" an antebellum slave, but Pete, Fete which comes Friday, May 14.
Practically all of the dances which are to be given at the Fete have been learned. The physical training classes have been working on' them for several weeks and a rehearsal on the golf links will be held soon.
For the winner of the Robin Hooc contest, the rumors are less sure. The dopesters however give Opal Holmes a good lead. Ethel Keeler, and Ella Hawkins are the other possibilities.
BAND WILL PLAY TONIGHT
Forty Musicians Will Take Part in the Concert
Forty musicians strong, the K. U. band, under the direction of J. C. McCanes, will give a carefully selected program in Fraser chapel tonight. A piccolo solo, "The Woodbird" will be one of the features. An overture by Higerson is among our selection from operas which will be played.
The attendance tonight will decide whether or not outdoor concerts will be given this spring. Mr. McCanles does not want to call out his forty men if the students are not interested in band music. If a big crowd comes out tonight, open air concerts will be assured.
Although many of the numbers of tonight's program are from operas there will be several lighter selections.
"The band is in great shape," said Leader McCanles this morning. "I'm sure the audience will not be disappointed in its ability."

Tuesday is Undergraduate Day on Mount Oread and Revenge is Planned
Next Tuesday is Resurrection Day for the students of the University of Kansas. They rise out of the mire and slush and come into their own, for May 11, 1915 will go down in his history and by generations to come as the big day of triumph students over faculty at the Jayhawk school.
As has been the custom for the past umpletyteen years, each school elects a speaker to appear on the rostrum and slash the professors, assistant professors, associate professor, teacher, and retainer, superintendent of buildings and grounds, conaches and anybody else—maybe it will be the governor this year—as long and hard as his audience will stay with him. A few stories are allowed but the points must not be too deeply buried in logic. No philosophical purrases are taken or pharmaceutical terms are tailed.
But, next Tuesday at 11 o'clock in Fraser Hall will occur one of the greatest and most wonderful slaughtering scenes in history. Faculty members from all over the country and out the windows and students will reign supreme. The chance will be there and so will the other members of the faculty who do not participate in the university consumption are not afraid of the mighty axe of their underlings.
And after Tuesday—well, let that wait till some other time. The mighty frogs will rise again with the night as they begin to lay it on for three weeks. And then he will have a little horse play and send home a call to the folks and the tired and disgusted fresh will tell them that "con" means "to be continued."
MAY FETE CAN USE WOMEN
Those Who do Not Care to Dance
Can Take Part in Picture Effects
"There is a place in the May Fete for every woman in the University," says Dr. Alice L. Goetz, head of the department of physical education for the university. "A man who will take part, and make it a true University affair. For those who do not care to dance and take an active part there are many picture effects, which will require many more training." Queen there are to be groups of women holding streamers of ribbon which radiate from a pole to give an umbrella effect. At the end of the festival there will be a picture taken to show the women would like to have every woman in the University in that picture."
The Y. W. C. A. has put out very attractive post card sales advertising the card in the center of the card is an over picture of three Grecian maidens.
In the article, "Sol," as he was familiarly known by his students here, tells of his battle against fake advertising and other evil factors that so often creep into newspapers, especially in small papers such as he is running in Lyden, Washington. The former Kansan guarantees all Alder's place in placing his publication with a monochrome and is so particular about the class of business he takes that tobacco ads are refused.
In the May number of "Associated Advertising," appears an article entitled, "A News Weekly That Makes Truth Pay, which was written by Richard W. who was a journalism instructor at the University of Kansas last year."
LEWIS TELLS HOW HE MAKES THE TRUTH PAY
DESIGNS FOR SENIOR MEMORIAL ARE READY
Willis G. Whitten, chairman of the senior memorial committee, has finished the designs for the large cement bulletin board which will be the gift of this year's senior class to the university. He is now getting bids on it from Kansas City firms. The bulletin board will be put up by June 1.
The memorial committee has the whole University so divided that each member has only fifteen or twenty students to see. Every member of the class can be cavwed and we have an opportunity to help with the class memorial.

ANALYZES THE SHORT STORY
Dr. J. Berg Esewine Who Speaks a K. U. Tomorrow Explains
Dr. J. Berg Eisenwein, formerly editor of Lippincott's magazine, will speak in Fraser chapel at 11:30 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Dr. Esenwein's lecture on the Short-Story covers the full range of the subject. He explains the structural nature of the various short fiction stories and by clearly stated reasons, shows how and why each type differs from the other. The nature and handling of plot are also plainly set forth, and many practical suggestions given which have grown out of the speaker's long experience as an editor and author. These character elements in the short-story, such as dialogue, character delineation, are discussed in such a way as to be interesting to all those who love fiction as well as helpful to those who write, or aspire to write. Throughout, the lecture is clear, untechnical, and full of detail. Dr. Esenwein answers questions from the audience on all matters relating to his sub-
After the lecture, Dr. Eisenwen answers questions from the audience on all matters relating to his subject including the sale of manuscript. This lecture has been delivered in Eastern and Southern cities.
TWAS A JOLLY DAY FOR COLLEGE FOLKS
Walking, Sports, Reading and Gardening Made Monday a Fine Lark
The streets and picture shows of Lawrence were noticeably deserted by students yesterday, but the golf links, the tennis courts, the country roads and the river were very much alive with them. Fro mansurise until long after the sun had set picnic parties wandered far and wide.
And what should a perfectly good May holiday be spent for if not for hiking, and boating and tennis and getting one's system full of fresh
The library was empty save for a few faithful ones whose thirst for knowledge not even a spring holiday could help assuage. The librarians looked longingly at the outer world and sniffed at the spring breezes that came wandering in, but the students still plugged away. Because of this knowledge was not so great as the pressure of back work stared into nothingness at frequent intervals and then shook himself back into work.
A great many students went home and the evening trains unbounded hundreds of them, seemingly. Then besides the hikers and the home wanderers there were girls whose desire for spring clothes far outweighed their desire for country air. Machines buzzed away, and needles few in many of the rooming and seating rooms bounded even settled themselves to reading things that they do not have time to read during school days.
In fact almost everyone did the things that they liked best to do, and in one case I am also raked in their beloved gardens to the grinds who still dug in the library.
