FRESHMEN VICTORIOUS
First Year Men Defend their May Pole Successfully Against Sophomores.
THE ENGINEERS PLANT A ROCK.
The freshmen won a decisive victory over the sophomores in the annual May pole scrap last Monday morning. At no time were the first year men's colors in danger.
The freshmen hoisted their colors about 1:00 a.m. Monday and stayed in a body about the pole waiting for the sophomores. About 7:30, people began coming up the hill and in true old style fashion the freshmen required all comers to salute the pole. A few who refused were captured and taken up to the pole, where after looking into the face of the tar with which it was covered, they usually smilingly submitted. Finally a few laws began to arrive and the freshmen immediately weakened in their desire to compel everyone to take their hats off to their colors.
Still the sophomores did not arrive and the freshmen began to fear, or hope, that their enemies were not coming. Finally about 9 o'clock the sophomores came over the south side of the campus and made a rush for the pole, endeavoring to circle the freshmen with a long heavy cable. That was the end—the second year men never got to the pole. Freshmen fell on them from all directions and in a few minutes nearly all the sophomores were lying about the pole, tied hand and foot.
Nearly all the sophomores were tied up when a half dozen in an express wagon came tearing up and endeavored to attach a hose to one of the large hydrants, expecting to drown out the freshmen, but they had not enough force to attach the hose to the water plug and the triumphant freshmen captured the hose and carried it triumphantly into their camp. At 10 o'clock the whistle blew, the freshmen turned the sophomores loose and took their colors down—the May pole scrap was over.
The engineers placed a four ton rock on the campus early Monday morning, bearing the inscription, ENG. During the freshman-sophomore controversy, a number of laws endeavored to move it by means of a cable, but the rock was cemented to the surface rock in the ground and refused to budge. Several of the legal fraternity then came up with tar and threw a generous portion upon the rock of the engineers. A short mixup between the two schools followed but was soon stopped.
Forty foot ball candidates have reported for spring practice at Yale.

Kansas Takes Another From the Hawkeyes.
THE CANDIDATES FOR BOXING HOLD PRELIMINARY CONTEST.
Kansas took the second game from the Hawkeyes on Saturday by a score of 10 to 6. Both teams hit hard and fielded well, Kansas having the better of the argument in both departments. Our boys won the game in the third and fourth innings by knocking Yessler out of the box and piling up a total of 8 runs. Iowa played a good up-hill game but was unable to overcome the lead taken by Kansas. Pyle made his first appearance on the 'Varsity and acquitted himself with honor. The showing made by K. U. in the two Iowa games is gratifying to the fans and much is expected of the team in the future.

The baseball game which was to have been played between K. U. and Friends University today has been postponed owing to the condition of the field. The game will be played next Thursday.
A boxing tryout between candidates for the boxing club was held in the gym yesterday afternoon at 4:30. The bouts were tour in number, each to go three rounds.
The first go was between Scott and Cunnick, the former easily outpointing his adversary.
Goddard and Rogers took the principal parts in the second contest, Goddard getting the decision.
The third contest was an evenly matched affair between Dove and Shaw and it took the fourth round for the judges to decide that Dove was the winner.
Heinzman and Morrow put on the mittens for the fourth go and they showed themselves adept in the art of boxing. After the third round Morrow was given the decision by the judges, a decision with which the bystanders were far from concurring in. The finale of this preliminary
WEEKLY ELECTION

DOD GASTON'S TALK.
J. E. House Makes a Few Pointed Remarks about the Newspaper Business and its Devotees.
J. E. House of the Topeka Capital, delivered a lecture to the class in Journalism and the Conference of Sociology and Economics, Thursday afternoon at 4:30, on "Newspaper Writing." This lecture was given at the time and place of the Sociology and Economics Conference. He didn't have a roomful to hear him, but his talk merited a crowded chapel, for he said some good things an those who failed to hear him missed something worth while.
Mr. House said that the idea that newspaper writing was a profession is a mstake, that it is a microbe and that a good newspaper man never recovers from the little pest. The newspaper reporter usually has many of his ideals shattered and cannot be a hero worshiper. He comes in contact with so much of the dark side of human nature that he is likely to become pessimistic and often acquires a good humored contempt for human kind
"There are two kinds of reporters," said Mr. House, "the one who feels for his stuff and the man who digs tor news. The first is the man who usually writes bright, attractive articles and the second is the good news gatherer. Imitation of others' style never gets anything. A man should cultivate individuality in his writing. There are probably 500 reporters who can write as good fables as George Adc but no man will ever attain his success because he wrote them first."
Mr. House spoke of the ability to see into all the phases of a news story, saying that there was some pathos and humor in nearly every one and that the good writer always brought out such points. He said further: "If there is humor in a situation unbend enough to get it in your story; if there is pathos,
NO.30.
pull out the tremulo stop on your typewriter."
Regarding a reporter's fidelity to his paper, Mr. House said "Keep your word to the public rather than keep on good terms with your paper; be honest; be decent."
In conclusion he urged that men should not go into newspaper work as a commercial proposition, not that there is not often money in the business, but that a man to be successful must love the work itself better than the dollars.
E. T. CUTLER LECTURES
E. T. Cutler, the Kansas City correspondent of the Associated Press delivered an open lecture to the class in Journalism in Blake hall Monday evening upon the "History and Organization of the Associated Press." No lecture in this series has been of greater interest than this one.
Mr. Cutler told of the immense scope of this news gathering agency, how it had grown from a modest association of a few New York dailies until now it gathers and distributes 90 per cent of the telegraph news and has for its news territory the entire world. It is not a commercial enterprise, but a co-operative association and all of the $2,000,000 which come in as revenue annually, is spent in paying employees and collecting news.
There are 800 regular employees in this great news gathering machine and many more space correspondents. 800 daily papers in this country alone receive associated press news.
The association sends out 50,000 words or about 35 columns of telegraph news every day. The telegraph rental bill amounts to $100,000,000 annually.
Mr. Cutter also spoke of the many new inventions which tend toward the greater facility in the transmission of news.

HE annual May Day scrap between the Sophomores and Freshmen is over. The "honah" of both remains immaculate and the erstwhile belligerents will occupy the remainder of the year reciting to one another the bold deeds of 'Jim' or the extraordinary prowess of 'Jack.'
Some of the remarks apropos of the contest are far more interesting than the scrap itself. One member of the University has expressed himself to the effect that he considers such affairs much more brutal than prize fights, and that in the East where he comes from such contests would not be allowed at all. Of course it may be very brutal to tie men up, but the boys seem to like it.
Much talk is heard from some members of the faculty and from a few students in the presence of the faculty, to the effect that the May-day contest should be abolished. The WEEKLY does not desire to see the fame of Kansas University smirched and if these contests work injury to the school, it is but right that they should discontinued unless it can be shown that they are productive of beneficial results which outweigh the evil ones. The WEEKLY believes this to be the ease. Whoever heard the University cheers given last Monday after the contest was over will have to admit that there was more spirit in them than there has been before, this year. That is one good result then—a tendency to promote: college spirit
Again such class affairs bind the members of the classes closer together-brings them all into nearer relations and promotes good fellowship among them. There is always more class spirit evidenced among Freshman and Sophomores than among upper classmen and this can in a great measure be traced to the clashings between the Freshmen and Sophomores.
It is a fact that in some of our eastern institutions they do not have such rough and tumble physical contests but in schools where they don't the students are inclined to run to other excesses which have far worse results. The college student has a surplus of energy which, cannot be worked off over college textbooks and when the supply reaches the blowing off point,
he's going to exhaust it and it's pretty hard to find a better way than to allow him to do it in a class scrap.
IT IS NEARLY TIME for another Weekly election and all nominations have been filed. Too much care cannot be taken in the choice of the editorial staff of the college paper. First they must be workers, second they must have the interest of K.U.at heart; third, they should be capable.
University politics should be forgottin in the choice of these men. The publication of a successful University paper should be considered and the best men for the purpose should be chosen regardless of the political clique to which they may happen to belong. The plan of putting up tickets with half of the names on merely because they can control a few votes is not conducive to the best interests of the "Weekly."
There are many good men from which to choose and every "Weekly" voter should cast a ballot only for those whom he knows will be faithful workers if electe'.
THE SENIORS want to be excused from final examinations. They set forth that they are put to so much extra exertion the last term in getting out the Jayhawker, writing and staging the senior play, preparing class day and commencement exercises, deciding whether or not to wear caps and gowns, selecting class pins and maintaining their dignity on the side that they really have no time to bother with quizzes which might possibly prove fatal in the most severe cases.
The Weekly believes that there is a good deal of logic in their argument. When a student has run the gauntlet of term quizzes seven times and has escaped in a sufficiently good state of preservation it does seem as if he should be let off from the lastone with a good scare at the most. There are a great many demands upon a senior which other classes do not encounter. The last term should be the most enjoyable of the eight terms of the course, for after June 10, life in all of its sternness will stare the newly born intellectual giant in the face. There will be little time for mith and laughter and the graduate will often long for the friends of his college days. If the regular routine of examination week has to be looked forward to with the same dread that it always has had there is little joy to be gotten out of the last month. And to add to it all, spring is here. Real, live spring with its full quota of side attractions. It has been pretty hard for a good many underclassmen to get through this season and one can easily imagine the plight of... senior who is continually thinking of the fact that this is his last chance and he must make the most of it. Mount Oread was never more beautiful, the golf links were never quite so green and soft, the lilacs never gave off quite such a sweet perfume, the rocks and stumps were never
warmer and more inviting and the songs of the birds were never so charming. Then too the average senior is very apt to imagine that his friends were never quite so dear and so indispensible during his college year. Very often this is all imagination but that fact does not affect the senior as he makes his dates and runs up his bills.
The faculty should take all these things into consideration in acting upon the petition of the senior classes. Few of them were ever so taken up with their studies as to be absolutely impervious to the demands of human nature and it is a safe bet that they were still victims of some of the frailties of man when they were in college. If they were not they are ashamed to admit it now and can easily see their mistake.
If its influence I as any weight in the matter, the Weekly would be very glad to place itself upon record as being heartily in favor of doing away with the formalities of examinations for the seniors and letting their fates depend upon their class work for the term. It would be a good thing for all concerned and would make the graduating class all the more loyal to old K. U.
THE FIRST annual High School day at K. U. last Friday was so successful in every respect that it should certainly be made a yearly affair. Nearly eight hundred high school students, three hundred from out of town, enjoyed the morning visiting the various departments on the hill and the inter-scholastic field meet in the afternoon was the center of such enthusiasm and interest as has rarely been seen on McGoofi field.
The high schools which sent athletic teams to this meet, not knowing what sort of athletes they would have to be pitted against, deserve special credit, and unstinted praise should be given to the schools who having only one or two athletes sent them anyway. That is the sort of spirit that high schools should have. The students from such institutions are the very ones that K. U. wants when they are ready to attend college. The yeoman service performed by the Carbondale, Osage City and Anthony men will long be remembered.
Let us continue the observance of High School days every year, so that the University may become acquainted with the high school and the high school brought into closer touch with the State University.
COWBOY prom, was given a short time ago by Michigan University students. The men appeared at the function attired in true cowboy fashion with the usual complements of spurs bonbanas and colts, and the ladies in short corduroy skirts, blouse waists and sashes but it reports are true here the likeness to a cowboy dance closed. Everyone knows that this is only a preliminary preparation for the true cow-puncher function. The real essence of the affair is what follows. What real cow-man cares
to attend a "feet shaker" where he can't show the delicacy and precision of his markmanship by snuffing the lights with his .44, or take a fall out of the "varmint" that dares to dance with the jiltsy" on whom he has put his ear marks?
The "Bronch Buster" delights to rope the moverick who trespasses upon his chosen range and to pick a scrap with the half man whose ambition is satisfied with the dog's work of tending the merinoes. Nor did the write up of this Michigan society function say a word regarding the red-ink high balls with which the "caller" at the real real range shin-dig is wont to lubricate his speech box.
No Michigan students may have thought they had a cowboy dance but with comparison to the old original article it must have appeared as the white rabbit to the mountain lion or the timid coed to a fire eating engneer.

WHY NEBRASKA WINS.
The reason Nebraska won in the debate against Kansas last week can be found deeper than the speeches that were delivered that evening. There is a spirit in that school which protrudes itself in everything and on everybody, students and faculty, alike are imbued with it. Each student of that university showed by his actions that he believed that the team Kansas went up against was his team and that it was his duty to support it through thick and thin. They have spirit and enthusiasm, their motto is "Nebraska, right or wrong." It is a selfish principle and one in which there is not always the highest moral, but its actions are judged by results it cannot but be commended for it wins.
This spirit showed itself before the debate by about two thousand students wearing red and blue badges bearing, "Beat Kansas tonight," it showed itself after the debate when twenty husky fellows rushed upon the stage and proceeded to toss their debaters in the most approved style. If university spirit shows itself thus in debating contests, the least popular of student affairs, how much more so must it make itself felt in foot ball and basket ball.
One thing, Kansas must have a more united, more democratic student body, more whole-souled, whole hearted men who have the honor of their university at heart and are willing to support it on every occasion. In just as much as we are ahead of Missouri in spirit and enthusiasm, and just so often as we beat them in student contests, just so far is Nebraska ahead of us in spirit, and just so long as this continues will jayhawker pride be humbled to cornhusker spirit. —One who was there.
THE FRENCH PLAY.
The presentation of a four act comedy in a foreign tongue in lieu of the usual one act farce of previous years was such an innovation and so successful a bit of work that we shall mention once again "Le Voyage de M. Perrechon," presented last Wednesday night at the New Eldridge Hall before some two hundred and fifty spectators.
Only those who have had experience along these lines can quite understand the difficulty of preparing and staging one of these little plays. Therefore it can be said without hesitation that the work of Mr. Farragher, as Perrichon, was a revelation, being the best bit of this sort of acting that has yet been seen in Lawrence. He sustained his role with never a let-up until the end. His understanding and interpretation of the part and his pronunciation were worthy of honest praise. The success or failure of the play lay quite upon his shoulders, and to say that "Le Voyage de M. Perrison" has set a high standard in amateur dramatics is the best way of commending Mr. Farragher.
His support was consistently good. Miss Charvoz as Mada me be richon was capital. As Henbooks Miss Hull did not have so reaches
many lines but she acted out her ingenue part in a winsome fashion. Mr. Lapham as Daniel and Mr. Orr as Ormond were highly amusing in their rivalry. Mr. Stelter as the commandant was properly imposing and pompous while Mr. Klingberg as Jean, and Miss Vandergrift, in a fetching Swiss costume, as "L'Aubergiste are么 to be commended.
To Prof. Jones, to Mr. Morrow and to all those who gave of their good time and patience towards the staging of the play, the department desires to extend their earnest thanks.

K. U. Takes Another Game From the Quakers,
K. U. added one more game to her string of victims by shutting out the Quakers with a score of 3 to 0. The game was the best one seen on McCook field this year. It was a pitcher's battle between Pyle and McGill, both men having the opposing teams at their mercy. Pyle struck out ten men and gave no free passes to first, while McGill struck out nine men and allowed one man to walk. Both teams played a fast fielding game, K. U. having slightly the better of it in this department.

COLORADO WINS DEBATE.
The K. U. Colorado debate at Boulder last Saturday night resulted in a victory for Colorado. Kansas had the affirmative of the question; Resolved, That Employers are justified in not recognizing labor unions In the choice of judges for the debate, Colorado went the limit of discourtesy with the Kansas boys. By the agreement between the Universities, K. U. was to submit four names to Colorado from which the latter were to choose two judges; and Colorado was to submit two names to K. U. from which one judge was to be chosen.
Kansas chose a judge from the two names submitted by Colorado; but when the K. U. boys got to Boulder they learned that Colorado absolutely refused to accept any one of the men proposed for a judge. The K. U.boys submitted the names of ten men and still Colorado refused. Finally the K. U. team was compelled either to take the remaining two judges, men that Colorado named, or return home and pay the expenses of the trip themselves. The Kansas debaters finally allowed Colorado to name the judges, and Colorado named the three and got the decisions of all.
The Kansas team feels that the Colorado university gave them very unfair treatment and say that they are not anxious to continue debates with the school.
JOURNALISM LECTURE.
There will be two more lectures given in the course in Journalism. The next will be given Thursday by G. W. Maffet, of Lawrence formerly editor of the Anthony Republican, on "Moral Opportunities of Journalism."

McCARTY WINS.
o Opposition to Foster for Secretary and Treasurer—Board Divided Equally Between the Two Tickets.
The Weekly election yesterday resulted in the election of the following men: officers: Editor in chief, W. G. McCarty; See'y. and Treas., Geo. O. Foster; and Carl Riley, Mabel Jenkins, Ada Bechtel, Helen Alder, Dana Gatlin, C. A. Leinbach, Emil Brunner and E. R. Gentry for the new members of the board.
This election was preceded by one of the hottest political fights ever made on the hill. Two tickets were in the field and every place excepting that of secretary and treasurer was contested hotly. Each side claimed the election last night when the polls were closed and it was not until all the votes had been counted that Mr. Keyser's supporters admitted defeat. The board elect is composed of people from both tickets; four on each side being elected.
Following is the official returns showing the number of votes received by each candidate; Editor in chief, McCarty 218, Kayser 183; Sec. and Treas. Geo. O. Foster 404; board members, Carl Riley 370, Mabel Jenkins 368, Helen Alder 346, Dana Gatlin 330, Emil Brunner 308, E. R. Gentry 226, C. A. Leinbach 226; W. L. Simpson 192, L, P. Purtan 185, Lapham 147, Carl Morgan 77.
One new feature of this Weekly campaign was a statement by each of the candidates in the course of procedure which each promised to follow, if elected. Both favored a reorganization of the management of the Weekly and if possible the establishment of a daily paper, or at least the publication of a university papper three times per week.
Mr. McCarty has had considerable newspaper experience having published a college paper at Emporia; worked upon the Emporia Gazette and is at present the university correspondent for the Kansas City Star,

P. S. CREAGER LECTURES
the Telegraph Editor of the K. C. Journal Tells Something of the News End of Newspaper Work.
P. S. Creager, the telegrapheditor of the Kansas City Journal, lectured to the Economic Conference and class in Journalism Thursday afternoon at 4:30 on the "News End of a Newspaper." "The Policy of a Newspaper" said Mr. Creager, "is to give the greatest satisfaction to the greatest number in the line of news." "News is what the public desires to read and what they have a right to know." He spoke about the wide difference between the so called news of various newspapers. The inclination toward sensationalism which the New York papers follow and the broader, less sensational news printed by all the Chicago papers, save one. He spoke of the craving for nastiness which some newspaper readers have, and the desire of some few newspapers to fill this want.
Mr. Creager spoke of the "fake" stuff which some newspapers printed and pointed out the serious danger in guessing at a news story. The country correspondents for the metropolitan papers came in for their share of attention here. Too many are inclined to over color their news stories in order to give the paper a good story and a continual watch must be kept at the office to prevent the special correspondent from enlarging too much upon facts.
He spoke of the desire upon the part of the news paper to tell only the truth in its news columns. "The usual city editor," said Mr. Creager, "would sooner loose out on a half dozen news stories than print one untrue news article".
He spoke of three important requisites for a successful newspaper reporter; he must know what news is; must be able to judge its value; and lastly be able to write it up clearly and concisely.

OUR BASE BALL TEAM seems to have succeeded in extricting itself from the "slough of despond" into which it fell early in the season. The showing in the Iowa games and in Tuesday's game against the Quakers, was a most pleasant surprise to the students, and Captain Sexton and his team are to be commended.
The season began very unfavorably and there has been much bad weather to prevent practice and postpone games. It is hard to keep up interest in the game under such circumstances-but the team has succeeded in doing it and the men are playing together well now. The two new pitchers are doing first-class work in the box and they are being well supported by the team which, under the new placing of the men, is playing a clean fielding game.
In view of the fact that the team is doing so well it seems no more than right that the students should turn out to the games and show their appreciation. At the last Iowa game and the Friends College game there was hardly a respectable sized corporal's guard in the grand stand including the members of the band. Many students wonder why we cannot have better teams and blame the players, but the fact is that one of the prime requisites in college athletics is student support and the team has a right to expect it. The team is now playing good baseball and the Weekly extends a cordial invitation to the students to try to get out to at least one game before the season closes.
IN THE current issue af the North American Review of Reviews, Mr. Joseph Pulitzer shows the benefits to be obtained by students in the College of Journalism which he recently endowed,Mr.Pulitzer insists that the young man who enters the field of Journalism is best equipped for newspaper work if he studies along certain lines of college work,which are not at present arranged in most colleges to suit the particular necessities of the newspaper writer. These particular br utches include law, physical, science, political literature, history and theory of taxation, capital and labor
problems, modern languages and statistics.
A western daily says of Mr. Pulitzer's article that Mr. Pulitzer does not appreciate the fact that the college man, five years after he has finished his course, has forgotten the most of his college education. That is, that before the newspaper man could use his information he would have forgotten it. This editorial goes on to say that the four years training which a man receives in a University is not wasted.
It is a trifle hard to see how the writer of this criticism can harmonize his two conclusions. If a university training is of a great benefit to a man, a specialized training will certainly help him even more. He will have at least learned to work along the particular lines in which he intends to perform his future labors and that should make his future work a great deal easier than if he had to start into the work a complete stranger to its contents.
The Weekly is inclined to believe that Mr. Puitzer knows as much or nearly so at any rate about the newspaper business in all its departments as even the best of our western editors and Joseph Pulitzer is not a man who is in the habit of starting unsuccessful enterprises. It is certain already that the principal of Journalism can be taught in Universities and our conservative newspaper editors will have to admit before many years that men can be taught to write news in several other ways than doing it while over a compositor's case.
THERE seems to be a certain collection of students in the University who consider it their duty to make witty annotations upon the signs posted on the bulletin board. Just who these students are the Weekly does not know but it cinerely hopes that the guilty ones are Freshmen and that they will have time and opportunity to reform before leaving the Institution. There is nothing very funny about the majority of the remarks written on the notices. They are for the most part very commonplace and reflect no great honor upon the authors. All year the Weekly has been very much in need of good, original jokes and if these kind decorators would use some of their cleverness in writing something good for publication they would be doing a laudable work for the University and would not be doing anyone any injustice, for readers are not required to enjoy the jokes published.
The University bulletin board is a place reserved for the posting of notices of all kinds and these notices are entitled to some respect. When a person loses or finds anything and a notice is posted up it is poor taste, to say the least, to change the wording of the notice in such a way as to possibly make it worthless merely for the purpose of provoking a smile among the under classmen. The habit is not a very vicious one but it is one that the majority of the students could easily dispense with;
HERE ARE organizations and organizations among K. U. students, but there is one that deserves considerable more than it receives. This is the University, band. It is a student enterprise through and through. It has never received assistance from the University nor even from the student body outside its immediate members. The interest which the rest of the student body takes in the band men is usually limited to passing various left-handed compliments upon their rendition of musical compositions, but the plucky band boys keep grinding away, using what music they can beg, buy or borrow and do their best to make a creditable showing.
The present band has been faithful throughout the year.
Every foot-ball game saw them on the field, putting forth every effort to instil spirit into our players and inspire enthusiasm among the rooters. While students were keeping their hands warm in overcoat pockets, the K.U. wind jammers with stiffened fingers worked their valve freezing instruments. Every base-ball game no matter how hot the sun sees them marching up Massachusetts street advertising the game
Such devotion to university interests deserves more commendation than it receives. There should be a fund raised to assist the boys in their band work. It seems that even some arrangements might be made whereby an instructor could be provided for the K, U. band. The Weekly thinks that their efforts this year merit the interest of the entire university and it hopes that the near future way see the K-U. band given the same recognition and support that other University organizations receive.
THE WEEKLY election is over and a new editorial staff has been selected to publish our university paper. Before the beginning of their work next year some arrangements for the reorganization of the present constitution should be made
The Weekly believes that a majority of the stockholders are in favor of such action.
It goes without saying that students will do better work if they get something in return for their efforts. The chancellor and faculty of the University are willing to cooperate with the Weekly stockholders in a reorganization of the management and publication of the paper Arrangements may be made whereby reporters will receive university credit for work done upon the Weekly.
Again, it is growing more and more apparent that some sort of merit system should prevail regarding the selection of the Weekly staff. The men who work faithfully as reporters are the men who should be given the important positions upon the paper. This system can easily be put into practice.
The University is growing; the prestige of the institution is widening; its influence is becoming greater all the time. Let us not allow this student publication to fall behind, but extend
its influence and usefulness by putting it upon a broader and firmer basis and make its staff officers something more than positions to be sought for by University politicians.
The time is ripe; the new board is strong in its youth; let them make a start for reorganization.

SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY.
The last program of Snow Literary Society for this year was given last Saturday evening in the German room. A large crowd was present, including many friends of members as visitors. The program was one of the best given during the year, each number showing the thorough and careful preparation which is a credit to the individual, and great pleasure and profit to the society.
Miss Forest's paper, a character sketch, portrayed in a realistic manner the pathetic innocence of a little orphan boy going to meet an older brother. Mr. Bartlett was called upon for an extempore, on "The rise and decline of oratory in the United States." He gave a comprehensive and interesting review of the principles and conditions applying to ancient and modern orators. Miss Hansen pleasantly entertained the society with a selection of music. The third of a series of prophecies was given by Miss Wood, in which she humorously revealed the future of some of the astonished members. The song "Crimson and the Blue" was sung by the society, Mr. Rupert making the star play of the evening, in the roll of "Creatore."
After an enjoyable recess Mr. Earhart and Mr. Ramsey declared, in opposition to Mr. Dodds and Mr. Stuessi, that the United States was justifiable in recognizing the independence of Panama. The debate was spirited and interesting, showing a
thorough preparation on the part of the debaters. The affirmative won a favorable decision from two of the judges.
In behalf of the society, Mr. Hartman, the president, gave a farewell address to the seniors, calling on each one in turn for speeches. Miss Unruh, as critic, gave a concise and clear review of the program.
The literary work of the year has been a credit to the society, developing individual merit to a remarkable degree. The year's work terminating with such an excellent program and such marked enthusiasm bespeaks greater achievements for next year.

Two members of the University of Wisconsin faculty have just announced a process for making absolutely pure iron. It is confidently expected that the new process will revolutionize the industry. The new method which was announced at a recent meeting of the American Electro Chemical Society in Washington will cheapen the iron process greatly. Prof.C.F. Burgess and Mr. Carl Hambrecker have been working on the problem for yerrs. The cost of the refining under the new method will be a fraction of a cent per pound. This method is similar to the one used in refining copper, the electric current taking the iron from an impure plate and depositing it pure upon another plate.
the faculty of Beloit college have caused the college athletic association to sever all relations with the university of Wisconsin. This is because of alleged discountey and unfair treatment of the Beloit men by the university students.

SENIORS MUST TAKE FINALS
The faculty have heard the cry of the seniors from afar off, they have paused to listen, and then have shouted back to the hard worked students: "Go on, we know you not," In plain American, the senior petition to be allowed immunity from final quizzes has been turned down by the powers that be. A reporter of the Weekly was informed that the faculty never stuttered when they refused to listen to the "wise ones" prayer.
The faculty in this action is acting consciously and in a manner which they consider to the best ultimate interests of the senior class. If asked they would probably say like the seniors papas after a little slipper scance: "My boy this hurts me worse than it does you."
And the seniors like they did in their long past youth - think otherwise.

INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS.
From California has come news of 'practical' education carried out to its fullest extent A noted educational and practical farmer, Judge Shields of Sacramento, in an address at the University of California, advocated the establishment of agricultural high schools throughout the state. These schools will be organized as 'feeders' to the university and probably affiliated with it. Four practical courses as laid out by Mr. Shields, include darying, fruit raising, irrigation and animal industry. The establishment of farms for the agricultural high schools and colleges was also advocated. Judge Shields lamented the fact that so many college graduates go into theatrical, or at least impractical professions, seeing in this tendency a peril to future agricultural pursuits.
Nobert Weiner, a nine-year-old son of Prof. Lee Weiner of Harvard, is ready to enter Harvard college. This youthful prodigy is already master of several of the dead languages, higher mathematics and the sciences. He is the youngest student ever fitted for entrance to the college. He says it is a pleasure to study and make chemical tests in a laboratory built for him. Trouble with his eyes has forced cessation of reading for the present, but his mother reads to him an hour each day except Saturday, which is his vacation.
The students of the University of California are to be protected against unhealthful boarding houses by the faculty. The academic council passed a resolution providing that a list of sanitary boarding houses be kept in the recorder's office for the use of the students. To obtain a place upon the list the keeper of a boarding house must submit to an inspection of his premises and of the quality of food furnished his boarders. If the conditions are found satisfactory the house will be recommended to students as a proper place to live in.
A filter plant with a capacity of 500,000 gallons of pure water per day has been installed at Cornell University. Cornell has had so much trouble with typhoid on the campus that the authorities have determined to put a stop to it at any cost.
Andrew Carnegie came to the rescue with $45,000. So efficient is the great plant that 99.97 per cent of bacteria are removed as the water passes through. The plant has been designed, and much of it built by Cornell men.
The senior class of Cornell has decided to present to the university as its class memorial the sum of $10,000 to be turned over to the treasury at the expiration of ten years. This sum will be raised among the individual members of the class by a method of subscription, each member of the class pledging himself to pay annually to the life secretary of the organization $250.

Oklahoma Agricultural College Track Team is no Match for the Team of the Crimson and Blue.
K. U. won a pretty 10 inning contest from the Arkansas by a score of 5 to 4. The visitors hit Morgan freely, but were unable to bunch their hits. Morgan's support was good and several times he pulled himself out of the hole when scoring looked inevitable. K. U. won the game by timely hitting coupled with the costly errors of the visitors. Black for Arkansas, pitched a good game, and lid great work with the stick.

SECOND GAME.
Kansas took the second game from the Arkansans by a score of 11 to 5. The game was loosely played and at no time was there any danger of the Arkansans winning out. Our boys had no trouble in connecting with Moore's curves and in the third inning piled up a total of 8 runs. Moore retired in the 7th in favor of Brook, Arkansas' star twirler. Pyle for Kansas, pitched a good game, keeping the hits well scattered.

K. U. lost the second game to Washburn last Saturday by a score of 9 to 0. The feature of the game was the batting and pitching of Griggs. A large and enthusiastic crowd of students accompanied the team to Topeka The umpire was very unsatisfactory, giving Kaasas the worst of several decisions.
In the Interfraternity championship games, the Phi Delts defeated the Betas Friday morning by a score of 11 to 6.
The track meet with the Oklahoma Agricultural College at
Stillwell resulted in a victory for Kansas by a score of 67 to 59. The lads from the "Strip" country couldn't do a thing to the husky bunch from K. U. Our boys took 7 firsts, 2 seconds and 5 thirds. The Oklahoma team took 7 firsts, 5 seconds and 9 thirds. For K U. Butler captured 3 firsts, Ackerman 2 and Gordon and Morrow 1 each.

After a short stopover at the World's Fair City, the team will play the final two games of the trip against Missouri university at Columbia.
G. W. MAFFET'S LECTURE.
He Told Some Things That Should Be Shunned by a Respectable Paper.
G. W. Maffet of Lawrence, formerly editor of the Anthony Republican, lectured to the class in Journalism Thursday afternoon on "Moral Opportunities and Responsibilities of Journalism."
Mr. Maffett talked for an hour and a half upon the great influence which the newspaper editor exerts either for good or ill. He is the most influential citizen of his community. He is the man who says whether dishonest men shall fill public offices; whether a community shall be up to date or behind the time; and what the general moral tone of his tone town shall be.
Mr. Maffet discussed at length the detrimental influence proceeding from the printing of detailed accounts of crime. He thinks that many of our worst criminals are a result of criminal suggestion arising from the perusal of such newspaper stories.
The speaker referred to the newspapers who carry questionable advertisements, in the most
scatting terms. He spoke especially of the policy of two leading Kansas papers, one a weekly, the other a daily, saying that such periodicals should be excluded from the mails.
The piano and guessing contests came in for their share of attention. Mr. Maffitt considers these affairs to smack too much of the lottery idea to be used by a reputable newspaper.
K. U. CONCERT AT KANSAS CITY.

INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS.
Iowa University defeated Cornell 7 to 0 at base ball this week in a 16 inning game. All of Iowa's scores were made in the final inning.
For the benefit of any K. U. students who anticipate going to Baker University next year, the Weekly prints the following "Advice and Regulations," upon which that institution requires weekly reports from its students. Any infringement or disobedience of the following must be reported to university authorities.
1. Students are expected to attend chapel every morning.
2. Those given "optional attendance" must be present on Tuesday morning and make out reports for the week.
NO.32.
3. Each student must occupy the chapel seat assigned, and no other. He must be in said seat
4. Each student is expected to attend at least one church service on Sunday. He must be promptly in his seat not later than the opening hymn of said service and remain continually throughout. Failure to do this is equivalent to an absence and should be reported as such with explanation.
at the beginning of the service. In case of failure to comply with this requirement he should, in his weekly report, state the same giving whatever explanation he may have to render.
\* \* \*
5. * ** Young women may receive gentlemen callers on Wednesday, Saturday and Monday nights; in case of out-of-town callers parlors may be opened upon request of those having such callers. Parlors should also be open for those young women who expect to have gentlemen escorts on Sunday nights to church services and on all nights when there are public entertainments, receptions, or other social gatherings, for which consent has been given by the faculty.*
5. It is suggested that students observe study hours,beginning at 7.30 p. m. Except in rare instances it is not wise for students to study together; certainly it should never become a habit. Students should study in their own room. In case of absence from their rooms, students must depart from the place they are visiting not later than 9:15 and must be in their own rooms by 10 p. m. All houses where students room will be closed at that hour. The only exception being on: Literary Society nights when the hour is 10:30 p.m. $ ^ { \ast } ^ { \ast } ^ { \ast } $ In case of formal parties, permission for which must have been first secured from the faculty, the guests and hosts have the time extended to 11 p. m. and in case of those attending banquets the hour is midnight. Informal parties come under the 10 o'clock rule.

THE MAY Musical Festival will be under the auspices of Kansas University, May 27 and 28. This will be one of the great events of the present year in University affairs. The affair will not only be participated in by the best musical talent of our University but the Chicago Symphony orchestra and five of the most distinguished soloists of the country will also take part.
The festival will be the peer of any similar musical undertaking ever held in Kansas. The school of music, faculty and students have been working for months to perfect their part of the program. It deserves the support of every K.U.student.No one can afford to miss an opportunity to hear such an entertainment and much less can a university student, where by so losing he is failing in part in his duty to his school.
Let's get that new university spirit out and wear it to the May Festival and assist in making this first great musical event of our University so successful that it will be made an annual affair.
THE CLASS in journalism at Chicago University has just printed an eight page metropolitan daily known as the "Vincent Daily" in honor of the professor who is conducting the course. Members of the class were assigned to the various runs on the street, copy was handed in promptly on time and the forms were locked at 1:15 in the morning which is in good time for a morning paper.
The "Vincent Daily", force consisted of political and editorial writers, a Washington correspondent, sporting, society, and telegraph editors, police, undertakers and court reporters. The reporters covered their runs so thoroughly that two scoops were scored on the Chicago dailies and the "profesh" were given some effective eyeopeners. Political reporter Wormser's letter from Springfield was copied in the
Inter-Ocean and the Jamegon murder story was in demand by call the Chicago papers. A few more experiments of this nature may result in a slight change in the general opinion that college work in journalism all a mistake. When a journalism student to scoop the Chicago papers on murder stories and get on the inside of political stuff that the Tribune and Record-Herald can not get, it seems as if the benefit of journalism courses is pretty thoroughly established.
THERE IS too much tendendey among American colleges to ignore new schools and to assume because they have no traditions of long standing, no ever victorious football team, record breaking sprinters, or champion hammer throwers, that the school is weak and that the students are a poor outfit. New schools must be recognized by the older institutions to a certain extent before they can haveany prestige.
Washington University of St. Louis is an example. Before Kansas began negotiations for athletic relations with the St. Louis university very few students here knew anything about the new institution but now we know that it is a growing school and one which is destined to become a factor in the western educational system.
We have had another example of this fact this last week, The University of Arkansas sent its base ball team here for two games with Kansas. According to popular opinion we would expect to see nine lanky ungainly, lantern jawed, cushion footed, individuals, chewing natural leaf tobacco, dipping snuff and wearing homespun clothes and coon skin caps. But the Arkansas base ball nine compared very favorably with any team which has played on McCook field this year and the students of K. U. now have a much better opinion of our razor back neighbors on the south east.
Similar investigation would undoubtedly reveal the fact that after all there are very few colleges in the land that are not good. The more schools there are the better off the larger schools will be and we believe in recognizing and encouraging the new institutions.
PROF. EDWARD MacDowell gave as his reason for resigning his position at the head of the department of music at Columbia, that "as far as general culture is concerned, college graduates are the merest barbarians. Not a spark of idealism left." The New York World in an editorial has taken issue with the professor upon the subject and insists that the college student is scarcely as bad as the aesthetic professor would paint him. "The personal ideal of honor among college students," says the World, "was shown, when the student body at Princeton united through their representatives to detect and to aid in punishing five students who were preparing to cheat at an examination."
Perhaps Professor McDowell was dissatisfied with the college students because they did not gush about the ideal all the time. It used to be the general custom for every little college oration to have a considerable amount of its substance devoted to the future millenium, which was ever
upon the eve of arrival and the idyllic state whose threshold humanity was about to cross. Or perhaps the professor would return to the good old times, when the university student supported himself by begging his daily rations and celebrating a full stomach by a little broad sword play.
The university man has not lost sight of the ideal, but he does more and talks less about it than formerly. Many people do not understand the university student because they will not. He is always a democrat—he scoffs at empty show and useless ceremonies, but he is usually a gentleman and a gentleman doesn't go very far wrong.
IT IS QUITE the fashion to become effusive over the beauties of Mount Oread and to admire and talk about the beautiful view. The university is certainly to be congratulated upon having such a beautiful site for its buildings. Nature has indeed been indulgent and we all appreciate it. But nature can not do everything and it seems too much has been expected of the dame in the way of beautifying Mount Oread. As one walks up Mount Oread on Mississippi street he cannot but admire the imposing buildings and green grounds. Dyche Hall stands out in the foreground, it's beautiful to say the least but as one approaches more closely he sees the natural beauties of the weed patch and old cornfield, which form the north part of the campus. A little closer inspection reveals an old dumpground with a wealth of tin cans, rags and other rubbish. There is no grass to be seen, only the dried stocks of last year's weed crop, and this year's growth is getting a good start. Of course we cannot expect too much in the way of beautifying the campus but the expenditure of a few dollars would at least make the approach to the university look respectable. There is no good excuse for such a spectacle as that presented by the weeds and trash north of Dyche hall. Many visitors come up Mississippi street to visit the university and their impression of the place is almost sure to be prejudiced by the appearance of this plot of ground. The weeds might at least be cut down and it seems as if it might be possible to sow a little blue grass or even clover in their place, anything would be better than the weeds. After this has been done if the university still has money to spare on landscape gardening the big pile of yellow clay which was thrown up when the excavation was made for Dyche hall might be smoothed off a trifle and some steps taken to starting vegetation upon it.
NOT SO VERY long ago the students at the University of California had a Labor Day. On that day the students appeared on the campus in working clothes and carrying picks and shovels. The day was spent in beautifying and improving the university grounds. Why can't the students at the University of Kansas do something of this
sort? The wretched approach leading to our athletic field is in sore need of attention and a picturesque little bridge might be built over the creek to take the place of the half rotten boards which are there at present. Just as soon as students begin to work for the university, will the fine quality of university spirit be developed.

SNOW PICNIC.
The annual picnic of Snow-Literary Society was held last Saturday near Lake View. The party left town a little after 9 o'clock. Everyone indulged in a general good time during the drive, arriving at the place selected for the picnic, a little before noon. After an excellent dinner, two of the members "chose up" sides and a base ball game followed. This game, in which all participate, is always a prominent feature of the day's sport. After the ball game there was a series of races, jumping contests, and various other gymnastic feats, giving evidence of athletic skill as well as an appreciation of the humorous sense. A peanut race by six of the girls was quite an interesting scene. By the time the games were finished, some of the members seemed to develop roving propensities, and more or less lengthened strolls were the order until supper time, when the second feast was enjoyed in true primitive style. After supper famed bards and silver-tongued orators rose around the campfire and regaled the feasters with their charming eloquence. The day' sport closed after the new members were put through that crucial test—the one-sided and solemn ceremony called "initiation."
About 8 o'clock the party returned to town, various songs heralding the approach of a wearier, perhaps wiser, but certainly a happier crowd. Each one declared the day one of the happiest and best of his life, and resolved that four annual Snow picnics would be a feature of his university to remember in after years.

At the annual meeting of the Pharmacy Alumni Association, May 13, an auditing committee was appointed to audit the treasurer's books. The report shows the finances of the Ass'n. to be in better condition than last year although over 50 members lapsed. The average cost per member amounts to over 65c so it may be readily understood that the annual dues of $1.00 are not at all high. Among the expenses for this year it will be noted that the Ass'n. donated $10 to assist the class of '04 in defraying the expense of their annual.

INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS
Nebraska students recently engaged in a class mixup, into which it seems the entire school was drawn before the affair was brought to a close by the minions of the law. The spiriting away of some of the cast of a class play, the dispersion of the Metropolitan police force of Lincoln and the final success of the histrionic production were features of the affair. Further information of a reable character cannot be given as the Weekly failed to receive the Daily Nebraskan containing the story of the trouble. Whether the Nebraskan cut us on account of being naturally bashful about boasting of the great happenings of the institution or whether it feared that K. U. students might go wrong from the effects of 'criminal suggestion' after reading the account of the battle, is not known.

SENIOR PLAY.
The '04 People Will Have Something Entirely New to Give the Public Next Tuesday
On Tuesday evening the students and good townspeople of Lawrence will be given an opportunity to witness the production of an original play constructed on a plan differing widely from the usual plan of student productions.
Antherto the idea has locally prevailed that it was impossible to write a successful Senior Play without indulging in an excessive amount of "roasts" and "take offs" aimed at the faculty and the student body. Wip Van Rinkle is a complete refutation of that idea. It has all the essential elements and features that should be found in a Senior production. The play has a definite plot rising in interest as the complication increases and bacel of all is a distinct local coloring It has preserved the unities, and in a word represents a serious effort to produce a dignified worthy, interesting production Come out then, Tuesday or Wednesday evening, and see the metamorphosis of Rinkle.

the Hospitality of Dr. Strong
The Faculty and Their Ladies Enjoy
About one hundred and fifty people,consisting of the members of the University faculty and their wives,attended the faculty reception given by Dr. and Mrs. Strong Thursday evening.
Almost every member of the faculty was present, a vastly greater number than usually attend similar social affairs.
During the evening the Glee Club serenaded the Chancellor and his guests.
ATHLETICS.
The presence of all the faculty is further testimony of the respect in which the chancellor is held by his fellow teachers.

K. U. Base Ball Team on Trip—Seniors Win Class Championship.
The Friends took revenge for the shut out they received here and defeated K. U. at Wielita Monday, by a score of 13-2. Our team did not play in their usual form on account of having travelled all night.

K. U. defeated Arkansas at Fayetteville by a score of 5-2. Pyle nitched a good steady game and received good support.
In the second game at Fayetteville, K. U. lost to the Arkansans with a score of 13-2. Brown pitched for Kansas.
Yesterday the K. U. team was pitted against Washington University at St. Louis. The Missouri boys rather got the edge over Kansas, defeating them by a score of 20-10.
This record is not at all bad for a trip, and the boys are further handicapped by having only two regular pitchers.
They still have three games to play and the K. U. students feel confident that they will get at least two of these.
As a whole, the base ball team has done exceedingly well this spring. New players and adverse weather conditions combined have been a great drawback to having a winning team but in spite of these disadvantages the team has been a credit to K. U. this spring.

A DAILY NEXT YEAR.
If the Students Desire It. K. U. Will Have a Newspaper Every Day.
The question of whether or not the University of Kansas has a daily next year lies all together in the hands of the students and faculty. The management desires that five hundred subscribers be pledged for next year in order to insure a good, first class daily where the writers for the paper will be paid just as reporters on regular town dailies. A paper can be run with a less amount pledged but the five hundred subscribers at two dollars each will give the university a paper that will be a credit to the institution.
The management has asked that all students who will take the paper next year at two dollars leave their names at either the registrar's office or the check stand. No money is asked in advance but it is simply to feel the pulse of the student body and the faculty and this will give both bodies and all connected with the university an opportunity to express their sentiments in a quiet manner. It is especially desired that all seniors and those who leave school this year subscribe now by leaving their names and addresses so that they will receive the paper beginning with the opening of school next year. If you are already a subscriber and have just paid a dollar, it will be credited on the two that you pledge for next year.
If a daily is run next year, a newspaper room will be arranged in Fraser Hall and here students can go to discuss matters regarding the university or the paper with the editor and staff. It will be to the university what a town newspaper is to a town and the office will bear the same relation. The office will be arranged with desks and peanants and editor's pictures who are well known to the university and are friends of the institution.
The paper will also take an active part in all school life and will be more a factor in university life than the paper has been before. It may be issued in the morning or evening and will be carried by boys as other dailies A press stand is promised on McCook field for the use of the paper and other reporters. A circulation manager will also be installed which will be a new department in the operating of a university paper. Every department will be kept distinct from other departments and an entirely new system will be introduced for running the publication.

WITH THIS issue of the Weekly the present editorial staff makes its final bow to the readers of the Weekly and gets off the stage.
We're not going to use a column of valuable space to enumerate the things we have done; in fact after considerable thought upon our regular weekly performances we have a sneaking doubt as to whether we could fill a "stick" upon the subject.
We haven't any apologies to make either, we've done what we were able to do under the circumstances and only regret that it could not have been more.
Outside the regular staff, the Weekly is deeply indebted to Marvin Creager and Roscoe Chambers, members of the Class of Journalism, for their work upon the paper this term.
The men who have been elected for next term are in every respect eminently capable for news paper work. The editor-in-chief elect, Mr. McCarty has done probably twice as much actual newspaper work as any man in school and with his able board, the Weekly predicts that next year the school will have the best paper that K. U. ever had.
Some of the Seniors seem to think that since they pay a regular enrolment fee they are giving all they ought for their college
courses and with that as their argument, are opposed to paying the regular five dollars. The laws, for instance, say that they have to go to Topeka and pay $10.00 to the Supreme Court besides paying $25.00 enrolment fee each year. This is true, but they should not forget that the expenses incurred before the Supreme Court are entirely independent of the University. The law school does not engage to admit its students to the bar and that is what they pay for. Their admission to the bar is a recognition of their capabilities by the law fraternity of the state. They are not asked to pay anything for their degree of LL. B. from the University. The expenses entailed in the securing of the admission to the bar would correspond to the expenses an art or an engineering graduate might incur in securing recommendations or fitting up an office.
The question resolves itself into this proposition: Save five dollars and have a one horse commencement, or spend it and have the regulation K. U. graduation. In all probabilities the law will be so changed at the next session of the legislature that the graduation fee may be be collected and if this class does not pay it, it will have the rather unenviable distinction of being the only class which put a five dollar bill in the way of a commencement. College days are the best part of a man's or a woman's life and they should be filled with the pleasantest of memories. Nothing should be left undone which will cause the student to look back upon his college career with less fondness. Maybe he won't get the actual value of his money in ice cream, sandwiches and sheep-skin, but the commencement week exercises are something that cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. Of course the graduates must keep within their means but this can be done, and it is hoped that this year's classes will not hesitate longer in deciding to pay the money and make this commencement a success.
.
NEXT WEEK marks the end of college life for another class at Kansas university. The '04 people will then make their bow to the world and start out to make their place in it.
The Weekly has not received any conclusive evidence that this is the best class that has ever graduated from K. U., but it has picked up the idea some place that it is as good as the best.
After long and careful consideration the '04 people have concluded not to sneak upon this old world and take it all at once. In fact, the altruistic spirit is so strong in this galaxy of intellectual genus that they may never selfishly seize the highestworldly positions. Another thing that has been definitely settled is that no one shall use his sheepskin or the blue ribbon there surrounding for any purposes of intimidation nor by their means in any way endeavor to force an entrance into the great world.
But there's one thing that the Weekly believes to be true about this class and that is that American citizenship standards will not suffer by their entrance. They are a good lot of boys and girls and they've got it in them to do a whole lot of good after they leave K. U., and the Weckly feels that they will live up to their capabilities.
They will never be troubled with having to enroll in the school of experience. They will be forced to enter the great school of the world. There will be no genial professors to advise them in their studies; it's each one for himself and a quiz every day. There will be no dean to warn laggards that they are nearing the danger line. They can never look far enough into the future to see the completion of their work and no one will ever tell them whether they are making passing grades or drawing flunks in the school of life, until it's all over.
The Weekly will not hazard a guess upon the number of honor students in the school of experience that the 1904 class will furnish but everyone has the ability to do his work in such a manner that when the Great Chancellor shall call him up for his final examination he will have no fear for the outcome.
+
NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT marks two great events of the last term of the school year—the putting on the boards of the Senior Play and the appearance of the '04 Jayhawker.
For four weeks the larger number of the Senior class have been hard at work rehearsing. For almost ten times four weeks the Senior play committee has been putting in every extra moment in writing and perfecting this student histrionic production.
The play this year is along entirely new lines—being a real play depicting real life and not simply an aggregation of conglomerate horse play and roasts. Whether or not the play meets with hearty approval, the class deserves credit for its attempt at something better than the common place Senior play.
Regarding the Jayhawker, there is no question but that it is the best class production of its kind ever gotten out at K. U. The brightest people of the class have put forth their best efforts to make the Jayhawker what it should be and they have succeeded. Everything in the book is the best of its kind, from the best drawings to the hardest roasts. Not only is the book readable, but it is good to look upon from the outside, and every K. U. student will feel the necessity of owning one the moment he sees it.
PROF. CARRUTH hit the exact truth in Chapel Thursday morning when he said that university students could do more toward interesteng people in the university during vacation than all the advertising literature sent out by the institution.
More than that if a student is really patriotic to his university he will endeavor to interest every prospective college student that he knows, in K. U. Every student should consider it his duty to say a good word for his school when the opportunity presents itself. The man who can't do this but contents himself by casting continual slurs at his institution has something the matter with him or he's in the wrong school.
Let every K. U. student make himself a committee of one to bring back a new man toK. U. next fall and the 2000 mark will be passed before the end of next year.

The cabinet held their last last meeting for this year Thursday evening. A secretary was elected for next year, subject to the approval of the American Committee and of the Advisory Board.
The Allemania Camping Party.
In our issue of last week, we overlooked the account of the Allemania Club Camping Party,
In accordance with their usual custom, the Allemanians spent three days in camp at Buerman's lake. Boating,ball games,evening camp-fires and many other pastimes were made features of amusement.
The only thing that tended to mar the joy of the occasion was the injury received by Miss Agnes Reardon, whose finger was crushed by collision of two row boats. Dr. Hoxie was called from Lawrence to dress the wound which did not prove as serious as was at first feared.
Several guests from Lawrence were entertained by the different members.
PHARMICS AT LEAVENWORTH
The party was chaperoned by Mrs. Clara W. Kanaga.
Profs. Sayre and Bailey and about thirty members of the school of pharmacy attended the State Pharmaceutical Association at Leaveuworth on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Besides attending the sessions, the students visited the penitentiary, soldier's home and federal prison.
Wednesday night the association took a steamboat trip up the river. A ball given in honor of the association was another feature of their entertainment.
The Faculty-Senior Game.
The annual base ball game between the faculty and seniors will probably be played next Thursday. This event is one of the many enjoyable affairs which happen during the closing days of the school year. Among the members of the faculty are a number of first-class base ball players and the contest does not always result in a senior victory. The line-up of the faculty team has not yet been decided upon but there are enough strong players to make the winners of the class championship hustle to retain their laurels.
Prof. Asbury will meet all his classes Tuesday evening at the opera house. Please don't be tardy.
E. W. Finkle has left the law school and gone to take the position foreman on the Checotha, I. T. Times.
ONE THING AND ANOTHER
QUIZ WEEK.
E'en like the blast from the far Klondike.
A Raphsody in Very Blank Verse.
Or from the region of Lake Winnipeg,
Thon dost play havoc with our spinal column.
"Freezing the young blood and making the eyes
Like stars to start from their spheres."
And the breath to come in short quick gasps.
Thon comest, oh destroyer of peace. Mixing a salt most bitter to the taste
With the hallowed joy of living. And with thy darkening shadow cast before
Dost kill at one fell blow all thoughts of sleep;
And like a nightmare or hobgoblin
Do not heat the unwelling machine.
Dost beset the unwilling martyr.
Verily thou art mighty in thy fierceness.
Countless hundreds have lived to mourn thy day;
And why thou wast invented or perpetuated,
Revival fit, thorn sequester to be Of some noninsectal risk
The slayer of the innocents art thou Who with remorseless heel doth crush
Young Hope, pure Joy, sweet Peace and all things
That constitute life's happiness.
SAGE
HATS.
Hats are what women wear on their heads and men sit behind at church. They are made in the winter of a wire paper basket covered with velvet and stuffed birds and in the summer they are generally constructed in the manner of the famous hanging gardens of Babylon, bearing all manner of fruit both of vine and tree and also the liies of the field and some fruits and flowers of strange and most natural appearance. All hats serve the same purpose, but all hats are not constructed on exactly the same architectural plans. Some hats have high peaked roofs and big wide verandas clear around and some others have low roofs and no back porch at all but have one in front big enough to shade a lemonade stand. Hats are held on the head with big pins that run right through the hat and head too, but it doesn't seem to hurt the women any. Philosophers have been trying for years to account for this strange fact but it is yet an unsettled question.
Hats were first worn by the Irish. This is not the only thing the Irish are to blame for but it is the least excusable. All of the Irish were created politicians and fighters but they were none of them created milliners.

PI PHIS IN COMIC OPERA
Monday evening at the Unitarian church, the young ladies of Pi Beta Phi presented in a very delightful manner the comic opera "The House that Jack Built" by Mrs. Jessie Gaynor.
Mrs. Gaynor is herself a Pi Phi of Iowa State University, and if she had written the opera especially for these younger sisters of hers they could not have entered more heartily into the spirit of the quaint old rhyme set to the beautiful music.
With such an all star cast it is impossible to mention individually the various performers. Each was excellent for her part and the large audience went away feeling that they had spent an evening of unallowed pleasure.
Miss Maude Rush presided at the piano.
The entertainment was given for the benefit of the Lucinda Smith Buchan Scholarship,which is supported by the Alumnae of Pi Beta Phi.
The Alumnae are to be congratulated in having so talented an active chapter to help them in their work.
K. U, at Missouri Botanical Gardens.
Dr. J. Arthur Harris of the class of '01 K. U. has resigned his position as instructor in the Shaw School of Botany at Washington University to accept a place, offering greater scientific opportunities, at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. This change will also affect four other K. U. people. Dr. Harris has selected Miss Nellie Harris and Miss Jessie B. Beennett as library assistants. He has granted Mr. Dean Rose a position as personal research assistant to himself. Mr. Rose will devote his entire time to carrying on investigations planned by Dr. Harris, particularly to the research begun in the Botanical Laboratory at this University, three years ago.
Miss Alberta Cory, K. U.'00 who had charge of the Science work in the Kansas City, Kansas High School will also spend the summer at the Gardens assisting Dr. Harris with the Microscopic side of a large paper which he hopes to have ready for the press some time this year
SOCIETY.
The Phi Gams proved themselves very gracious hosts at their spring party given Friday evening on their home. A large platform was erected and above this, ropes of electric lights formed a canopy while many chairs and benches were scattered around under the trees as resting places for the dancers. Music for dancing was furnished by Zailer's orchestra and Newhouses orchestra of six pieces played during the intermissions. A delicious supper was served in the dining room, the design of the Phi Gam pin being carried out in the ices and cakes. Many alumni and guests from out of town were present and the evening proved a very delightful change from the usual spring party.

Seniors can get invitations by calling at 1329 Vermont St. Monday or at check stand Tuesday morning. S.F. Sharrard, 02, at present in instructor in the Summer county high school, visited friends on the hill Thursday.
On Tuesday night will appear the largest volume of the Senior Annual ever yet published. It contains 225 pages replete with interesting stories and write ups of every department connected with the University, 50 full page illustrations, including novelty foot ball pictures, the latest photographs of the University grounds and buildings, and comic cuts galore. An especial effort has been made to secure pictures of the most historic scenes in the vicinity of Lawrence.
The investment of one dollar gives one a life long share in the Jayhawker Publishing Assn, and secures besides a copy of the best Annual ever published.
Fifteen pages of rip roaring roasts including everyone.
PHARMACY ALUMNI NOTES
We understand that this is to be the last issue of the Weekly this school year. This means that Assn. members will not receive the Weekly again till next fall. Please bear in mind the fact that you are expected to notify the corresponding secretary any time you may change your location during the summer.
The Kansas Pharmaceutical Association meeting held at Leavenworth last week was very well attended by pharmacists from the eastern portion of the state. Among those on the program were Prof. L. E. Sayre and Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, Miss Dora Fisher '99 and K. H. Needham '01. The Alumni Assn. was well represented, but considering the number of pharmacy graduates in the state, there should have been at least fifty of our members present. About fifteen of the senior pharmacy class joined the Assn. The citizens of Leavenworth must certainly gave the Assn. a warm welcome and a good time.
