DEAN RESIGNS
NUMBER 72
PROF. TEMPLIN STEPS OUT TO AID REORGANIZATION.
Added Powers Make New Office of the College Deanship—Heads Select Professor Templin.
The important changes which have been made were the result of the rapid growth of the College. It became necessary that the Dean should have more responsibility, especially in regard to the appointment of teachers below the rank of full professor, and the promotion of teachers to whatever rank, and also in regard to the recommendation of new courses, and the elimination and correlation of courses of study in general.
In the past few days the administration of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences of the University has undergone radical reorganization. The principal change is in the enlargement of the powers and responsibilities of the Dean. Before the reorganization was undertaken, Dean Templin handed his resignation as Dean to the Chancellor and it was accepted. After the reorganization had been effected, the meeting of heads of departments in the College, without a dissenting vote, recommended the election of Professor Templin to the new office of Dean. The Chancellor will accordingly make this recommendation to the Board of Regents.
The Dean of the College has heretofore had restricted powers and has been mainly an executive officer with no responsibility except that of carrying out the details involved in the administration of the rules of the faculty. Dean Templin had been in office six years, having been appointed when the office carried only this restricted authority.
When radical changes in respect to the Dean's authority became necessary, Professor Templin felt that in justice to himself and his colleagues he should ask that his resignation be accepted in order that the reorganization might be made without reference to any particular person and in order that the administration should be entirely unhampered in the choice of a Dean for the more responsible position being created.
This plan commended itself to the administration of the University. A meeting of the heads of departments in the College was called yesterday afternoon. After a lengthy session involving a full and candid discussion of the problems involved, a written ballot was taken and it was decided without dissent that Professor Templin should be recommended for the new office of Dean.
Easter Vacation Announced.
The following announcement was given out from the Chancellor's office this morning:
"On the recommendation of the University Council, the Board of Regents adopted the following rule: 'The Spring vacation shall be the Friday before and the Monday after Easter of each year.' "

"AS YOU LIKE IT"
THESPIANS TO GIVE SHAKES-PERE'S POPULAR COMEDY.
---
Cast of Fifteen Has Been Under Direction of Miss Georgia Brown Many Special Features.
Tomorrow evening the Thespians present "As You Like It." This is the third production of the club. The cast has been under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown, of Kansas City, for the past three weeks.
Among the many special features will be the singing of "Nut Brown Ale" and "Under the Greenwood Tree." Roy Burdick will be the stellar performer in the wrestling bout. A feature of the last act will be a dance.
In addition to the fifteen members of the cast there will be a chorus of lords and ladies.
REGENTS MEET
The new board of regents met for the first time today in regular session. L. S. Cambern, of Erie, and C. F. Foley, of Lyons, replace A.C. Mitchell, of Lawrence and T.M.Porter, of Peabody.
Scott Hopkins, of Horton was elected vice-president and W.Y. Morgan, of Hutchinson, secretary.
GAY MAY FETE
ELABORATE ARRANGEMENTS
NOW BEING MADE.
Event to Include Morris, Gypsy and Other Dances and English Dramatic Scenes.
For some years there has been a steadily increasing desire among the faculty and students of the University of Kansas to institute organizations and functions which should embrace the interests of the entire student body and increase genuine University spirit. It was felt by many who witnessed the experimental May Fete on the campus last Spring that such a celebration might profitably be continued, not only for its unique features, its dignity and its beauty, but as a delightful outdoor event in the social calendar of the University.
It is of course impossible for each student to take an active part in the celebration each year, but an earnest effort is being made this Spring to make the affair as representative as possible. The four classes will be represented, as well as the clubs and fraternities, and many meetings are being held to arrange for the event.
The pageant will be more elaborate this Spring, and the committee is fortunate in the possession of valuable material collected by Professors Bryant and Boynton in England last year, illustrating the gorgeous Chelsea and Oxford pageants.
In addition to the best features of last year, there will be presented the quaint old Morris dances, gypsy dances, and others of equal historic interest. Scenes from old English plays will be given in Marvin Grove, and wandering minstrels will sing ballads and May-Day songs before an old English audience of nobility and rustics. It is the hope of those interested in this event that this picturesque celebration of MayDay—the only one of the kind in the West—may add distinction to student life, and that in the near future it may become a gala day, on which in addition to the student celebration, such companies as the Ben Greet players and the Robertsonians may come to this University, as they are now going to other colleges and universities, and give some of their out-door performances in Marvin Grove.
REVOLT, IN CLASS.
My soul is starving for the open sea Where all the white-topped breakers foam and flee; I hate these studies, narrowed and confined By dusty dialectics of the mind. My soul is beating out to open sea Where all the white-topped breakars foam and flee; I feel a wind,-and straightway cease to care For all these sweet co-eds, though passing fair. These loud-dressed boys who sprawl, bright-hosed, in class, Pass from my view like breath-mist from the glass... And the old Viking call comes over me. And my soul hungers for the open sea!
Orchestra Concert Tonight.
Harry H. Kemp.
The K. U. Orchestra of twenty-six players with Dean Skilton as director will give their annual concert this evening. The program is especially strong and promises to be interesting and well executed.
As special numbers Miss Phipps will play two selections with stringed orchestra accompaniment. Miss Gertrude Russ will sing Berceuse from "Jocelyn," the words of which were composed by Professor Carruth. "The Old Folks at Home," written for the stringed orchestra by Carl Busch of Kansas City, will be another feature. Probably the "hit" of the evening will be the "College Song Overture," which embodies many of the college songs of this and other universities.
VAN EEDEN HERE
"HAPPY HUMANITY" THIS AFTERNOON'S SUBJECT.
Will Speak in Chapel Tomorrow and at Vesper Sunday.
Dr. Frederick Van Eeden, who will lecture at the University for one week beginning today, is not only a dreamer but a pronounced practical reformer. He was born in Harlem, Holland in 1860 and in 1883 was graduated from the University of Amsterdam. In his early twenties he became recognized as a leader in the revolution of Dutch literature and from that time until the present he has continued to add fame to his name. He is a poet, novelist, dramatist and practical sociologist and has been ranked with such men as Maeterlinck and Tolstoi.
About twenty years ago he founded a clinic of hypnotism for the cure of disease at Amsterdam. It was the first of its kind in Holland and the third in the world. A short time later he turned from the study of science in the laboratory to the practical reforming of society through communism. He has since founded two communistic colonies in Holland and while they have not always been prosperous they still exist.
Dr. Van Eeden's purpose in coming to America is to start a movement in this country for communism. This afternoon he spoke in the Chapel at four thirty on the subject, "Happy Humanity." His subjects for the rest of his stay are, "The Mission of the Poet,""Treating Diseases by Mental Suggestion," and two lectures on "Dutch Literature." He will also speak at Chapel exercises to-morrow morning and at Vesper services Sunday on the subject of "Religion and Business."
IN ATHLETICS HANDICAP MEET TENNIS
UNIVERSITY TO ENTER FIFTEEN MEN.
Four Freshmen to Run Unattached—Manager and Coach to Accompany Men.
Fifteen athletes of the University will compete in the handicap meet given by the K. C. A. C. in Convention Hall, Friday night.
Manager Lansdon and Coach Hagerman will accompany the team. The meet will be made up mostly of students of Missouri Valley Universities.
Probably the most exciting event will be the special four mile relay, between Kansas and Missouri. Cooley, Clark, Badger, and Fairchilds will compose the Jayhawker team. That of Missouri will be Steele, Cleland, Johnson, and Shuck.
Newbold in the low hurdles Haddock in the 50 yard dash, Stephenson in the shot put, Leslie and Thompson in the two mile, and Johnson and Wenger in the pole vault complete the list which will represent the red and blue;
Four freshmen will run unattached. Their names and the events are: Ammonds, shot put; French, high jump; Roberts, fifty yards; and Watson, two mile.
Owing to a misunderstanding the records and entries were not sent in until last night. The handicaps have not yet been announced.
TO GIVE TIGERS CLOSE RUB.
Now Cinder Track Will Be Great Help to Kansans.
The outdoor track at McCook field will be finished by the end of next week. Then Coach Hagerman will work the track team outside in preparation for the outdoor meets. This year the track, a cinder one, will be equal to any in the Missouri Valley and much better time in events will result.
Coach Hagerman and Captain Newbold believe that with this advantage and the fact that Missouri has lost her star weight men Kansas has a good chance to give the Tigers a mighty close rub in the coming outdoor meet.
PLAY HASKELL TOMORROW.
Another Practice Game Saturday. Freshmen Next Week.
Tomorrow afternoon on McCook field the 'Varsity baseball team will play its first practice game with the Haskell Indians. Saturday a second game will be played at Haskell. At these practice games a fair estimate of the playing ability of the Jayhawkers may be obtained.
The dispute over possession of third base has practically been settled by Coach Ebright's decision in favor of Blacker. This completes the selection of the team.

First Game Twenty-ninth—Dozen More Next Month.
On the morning of April twenty ninth the University tennis team will meet St. Marys college at St. Marys. This will be the first game of the season, and is the first game that has been so far definitely scheduled.
The manager of the team however has prepared a proposed schedule for a trip in southern Kansas and Oklahoma to last from May fifth until May eighth. If the schedule becomes a permanent one the team will play at Oklahoma City May fifth, Norman, Oklahoma the sixth, Winfield on the seventh, Wichita the afternoon of the seventh and the morning of the eighth, and Emporia the afternoon of the eighth.
Later in the season games will be scheduled with Missouri at Columbia, William Jewell at Liberty and Nebraska, Baker, K. S. A. C., and Washburn on McCook field.
The two men who will be known as the University first team will be picked from the present squad of Watson, Farnsworth, Bigelow, Wood, and Purton. Watson has been elected Captain and Bigelow manager of the squad.
Gym Classes In Ten Mile Relay.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3:30, the classes of "Tim" Shotts and those of "Shorty" Corwine will run a ten mile relay race on the indoor track of the gymnasium.
Try the brownbread ice cream at Wiedemans.
DAILY FOOTBALL PRACTICE.
Coach Kennedy Has Many Old Stars and New Men.
Spring football practice which began last Monday will continue at least two weeks. Thirty candidates have reported and are working out every afternoon. With the exception of Captain Pleasant, Bond, and Randall, practically all of them are either freshmen or men without 'Varsity experience.
Several promising first year men who were not in suits last fall have reported to Coach Kennedy. Abernathy, a Kansas City boy, is fast and heavy and will make a strong man for a backfield position. Magill, an old Fairmount star will be a likely candidate for end, while Maxwell and Ghormley should make good linemen. Of the freshman team Heil, quarterback; Macer and Amos Smith, halfbacks; Lovett, fullback; Smith and Davidson, tackles; and Powell and Brownlee, ends will be prominent applicants for positions on the 'Varsity.
In addition to the new material Coach Kennedy will have Pleasant, Johnson, Bond, Caldwell, Stevenson, Dahlene, Carlson, Speer, and V. Wood, of the '08 squad.
The greatest task will be the filling of the line positions left vacant by Crowell, Reed, and Rice, but from present prospects Coach Kennedy expects to turn out a team next fall which will do the usual credit to the University.

Inter-Fraternity Baseball Season Opens April 11.
BEGIN CUP RACE.
The inter-fraternity baseball season will open the week of April 11. The eight fraternities have been divided into two groups. The winners in each will play three final games for the cup. The Sigma Chis, Sig Alphas, Betas and Phi Delts constitute the first group; the Phi Psis, Sigma Nus, Phi Gams, and Alpha Taus the second. During the week of April 11 the Sigma Chis will play the Phi Delts; the Sig Alphas, the Betas; the Phi Psis, the Sigma Nus; and the Phi Gams, the Alpha Taus. The following week the games will be between the Phi Delts and Sig Alphas, the Betas and Sigma Chis, the Phi Psis and Alpha Taus, Sigma Nus and Phi Gams. In the week of April 25 the Phi Delts will play the Betas, the Sigma Chis the Sig Alphas, the Phi Psis the Phi Gams, and the Sigma Nus the Alpha Taus. The games will probably be played on McCook field.

A CHANGE MADE
SAID TO BE A GOOD ONE FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
Minneapolis Symphony Instead of Royal Dresden Orchestra for May Music Festival.
The directors of the May Music Festival have announced that instead of the engagement of the Royal Dresden Orchestra a contract has been signed with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra for concerts in the gymnasium the afternoon and evening of Friday, May 7th.
The Minneapolis orchestra is a much stronger organization, ranking with the Thomas of New York and the Boston Symphony, the leading orchestras of this country. It is even better than the Chicago Symphony orchestra which gave such splendid satisfaction here last season.
The festival will open on Thursday night, May 6th with a violin recital by Arthur Hartman, the most noted traveling violinist of America. Calzin will accompany him. The orchestra, in its concerts on the following day and evening, will be assisted by talented singers among whom are Arthur Middleton, whose bass voice won many admirers here last year when he appeared as a soloist in Faust.
A GLEE CLUB CONTEST.
K. U. and Washburn to do Rival Singing in Topeka.
The managers of both the University and Washburn Glee Clubs are communicating for the arranging of a contest between these organizations to be held in Topeka next month, and from the present outlook the plan in all probability will be carried out.
The Washburn club has had the most successful year in its history and has traveled extensively over the state, singing in several towns where the University club has appeared. Although in every instance the University club has made a much better impression than its opponents a contest between these clubs will be anything but a dull one.
The University Glee Club will go to Manhattan next Monday for a concert there and will probably close the season with a trip to Leavenworth and Hiawatha where they will sing at the high schools of both towns. The manager for next year will be elected soon after the close of the season.
Tardy Juniors Must Hurry.
The Junior invitation committee has named April eight as the final time limit when dates for the prom will be received. They are urging all seniors to hand in their dates by that time also. On that date the invitations will be adressed from the list as it then stands and set out immediately after the spring vacation.
The committee is arranging to make the prom a success in every way and to be able to do so it is necessary that all dates should be in at once.
Prof. R. K. Duncan has been asked to deliver an address to the" National Educational Association of the United States" which meets in Denver July 5. His talk is to follow the address of the president of the association. This meeting is one of the greatest among educators and probably ten thousand of tho foremost of the country will be present.
Professors E. H. S. Bailey and L. E. Sayre were in Topeka Wednesday attending the quarterly meeting of the State Board of health.
H. C. White of the Physics Department recently con structed some instruments for flushing out cavities in the body during operations. Two of them wsre sent to Dr. Sutton of New York. The results of their use were entirely satisfactory.

Prof. Dyche Asked to Mount Cat or "Quit Business."
The fine arts students of the University and many singers from the city, together, will render Gaul's oratorio, "The Holy City," next Sunday evening at the Congregational church. This is one of the newest oratorios and has the distinction of being a masterpiece. Professor Hubach will direct the chorus and sing the tenor solos. Dean Skilton will play the organ. Wesley Hubach, a popular Kansas City soloist, will sing the baritone solos and the sopranos, Gertrude Russ, Cora Reynolds, Helen Giddins and May Davis, all of this city, will each have solo parts. The Misses May, Kate and Lucy Riggs will sing all the trios for ladies' voices. The bass solos will be sung by John Power.
WILL GIVE "THE HOLY CITY."
Gaul's Oratorio on Sunday Evening at Congregational Church.
It was a large bundle and the outside wrapper gave every evidence of having done service as a butter container from the grease spots which covered the surface. Large pieces of heavy cord, tightly knotted together, heid the paper in place and in a hardly legible hand with many ink blotnings, the address read:
L. L. Dyche,
Lawrence, Ks.
The package was received by Prof. Dyche of the Museum a short time ago and its crude appearance and the apparent illiteracy of the sender aroused in him a keen interest as to its contents.
Sup. of Taxidermist,
After cutting away many strings and unwrapping numberless yards of paper, all of which gave evidence of having done service before, he came to the object of his search- He opened the package and there lay exposed to his view a large antiquate tom cat, which probably had been doing valuable service in some country grocery store for the past decade. It was carefully packed in a bed of excelsior and a tag attached to its neck announced that his name in life had been "Mic" and that upon his death some of the people of the town had contributed twenty-five cents each to have him mounted.
In the package Professor Dyche found a letter which read:
A few days later another letter was received as follows:
"Please taxidermist this package and return C. O. D. and I will pay all charges."
"Deer sir you say you cannot taxidermist the cat you had

Will Be Either Watch Fobs or Gold Buttons.
The permanent passes to be issued to "K"men for all athletic events are not only to be useful to the possessors of them while they are in school, but they are valuable for all time
By this arrangement the value of the "K" will be greatly enhanced and even a more coveted prize than heretofore. The shape of this reward will be in the form of a watch fob, gold button or some such insignia. A committee is considering this question now and have not yet made a report to the athletic board.
It has been the desire of the board for some time to bestow a suitable reward upon those whose efforts won them first honors in athletic contests and the matter was brought to the attention of the board by Manager Lansdon last fall but no decisive action could be taken at that time. The present plan, however, is to make the awards at the close of this season, so that those who are fortunate enough to get 1909 "K's" can use their passes to all games, contests, etc., next year.
and its mbembers are already beginning to carry out a number of its plans for the future.
A NEW ORGANIZATION
Canoe Club is Working Out Many Promising Plans.
One of the new and promising organizations of the University just now is the Canoe club which was formed a month ago. Since then it has enjoyed an encouraging growth
The club came as a result of the successful regatta of river sports held here last year and has as its object not only canoeing for pleasure but also the encouraging of all kinds of water sports. Eligibility for election requires only that the candidate be the owner of a canoe. The weekly meetings which are held are carried on in true maritime style. A character letter has been adopted and an ensign will be chosen soon. The officers of the club are named in nautical vernacular. Merle Groene holds the honorary title of rear-admiral, John Power is commodore and the acting commanding officer, and Ridley Pearson is first mate.
The other members are Geo. Russell, Will Kenny, Ed James, Logan Abernathy, Rochester Pearson, Charles Gossard, Fred Mervine and Dick Kemp.
The club already has its own boat house at the foot of Ohio street and contemplates building a club hose in the near future at Cameron's bluff where the members may take their friends for outings.

Through the kindness of the Kansan Board, the sophomore journalism class is issuing this number of the University paper. The class assumes all responsibility for any statement made in this issue. The editorial staff for today follows: Ralph Spotts, editor-in-chief; Earl Fischer, managing editor; Frank Motz, assistant managing editor; George Bowles, athletic editor; Stella Cornell, society editor.
THE COLORADO DEBATE.
Saturday evening in Fraser Hall the first interstate debate of the year will be held. At that time the representatives of Kansas will engage with the forensic artists of Colorado. They will fight an intellectual battle—a game as hard as any gridiron contest ever fought.
Every University student should feel that it is a privilege as well as a duty to attend this interstate contest. A debating team needs support and encouragement as well as athletic teams and they should have it. To prepare a University debate is no holiday affair—it is the hardest kind of work. And then to speak to half an audience is disheartening, to say the least.
Let the boys know that there are two thousand students behind them, wishing them success. Kansas must win the first debate of the year and your presence will help do it.
The women of the University have shown much enthusiasm in organizing themselves in an effort to control the collegiate activities of the girls and to promote closer social relations. In this respect, it might be said that they are ahead of the men of the University. Many of them feel that they should have some representation upon the student council committee.
THE MARRING OF CHAIRS
In 1856, Amos A. Lawrence of Boston, after whom Lawrence was named, said,"On Mt. Oread you shall have a college which
shall be a school of learning and in which shall burn the light of liberty, which shall never be extinguished until it illumines the whole continent."
Since that time, the University of Kansas has advanced by leaps and bounds towards the fulfillment of that inspired prophecy. The liberal appropriation for the next two years will be another impetus to its rapid development. The organization of a successful student council will mark another epoch in the history of this University.
But one great reform must come before the institution can make further progress. If this reform is not made, the future of the University is dark, indeed, and its star of hope must grow dim and disappear. The cause of alarm is this: a professor of the University has willfully and deliberately marred the arm of at least one classroom chair; and some students have been guilty of the same offensebut then, man is an imitative animal.
Should this practice continue it will slowly and surely undermine the welfare of this school. It must be stamped out. The future of the University demands it.
The appointment by the Chancellor, of a committee to make plans for a student council should not be taken as a signal for the cessation of activity among the students for that organization. In order to get such a council, the co-operation and hearty support of every student is needed.
The student council at Michigan has passed a ruling that all students shall rise and bare their heads whenever "The Yellow and Blue" is sung or played. At a recent Michigan-Yale concert in Detroit, not a Michigan man arose when his college song was played. With the first strain of the Yale song, every Yale man in the building arose and remained standing until the piece was finished. The effect of such a contrast can easily be seen.
This most commendable custom should become established at the University of Kansas. When a person rises to the music of his college song he is not making himself conspicuous nor is he doing a "sissy" stunt. Nothing could be more indicative of the real love and loyalty that a student has for his Alma Mater.
Steele of Missouri is a great two-miller. But his ability as a long distance runner was hardly an excuse for his laughing and sneering at his opponent, whom he was able to pass.
How's this for financiering? A Literary organization of the University has offered a prize of $5 for the best paper submitted by a Freshman. But in order to compete, each competitor must subscribe to the publication of the organization.
There is no graft one half as good as honesty.
"RELATIONS TO YOUR COLLEGE."
This article has been going rounds of the college press. It is full of truth and excellent advice.
"Your college is just what you and your fellows make her. Welcome to standard high
"Keep her standard hig
"Do not criticise her failings but work to remedy them.
"Give her some return for all she gives you. If she provides you with the opportunities and the influences suitable to manly development of character and intellect, she has a right to expect you to make good use of them.
"Do not be blatantly telling outsiders what a fine college yours is, but give them a chance to see what fine material she turns out in the way of men.
"Support her teams but do not bet on them; do not place your fellows in the category of race horses or game cocks.
"The college gives you your name; be ashamed to disgrace it.
"Do not talk about college spirit and then continually act in a way which shows that you
do not know even what it means. You could as consistly boast of family honor while in the act of disgracing the family name. True college spirit is a fine thing to have, but its roots must find nourishment deep down in man's better self.
"Remember that all members of visiting teams are your guests and at all times and under all conditions treat them as such.
"Never be ashamed to confess your Alma Mater and never do a thing for which she can rightly be ashamed of you.
"The men who are most prominent in the world and who have the interest of their Alma Mater most at heart are not the ones who make themselves the most canspicuous when they return to visit her. Don't let appearances deceive you."
"Sense, sincerity, simplicity are the college man's 'Three Graces.'"
The students at Princeton University have formed a club for the study of wireless telegraphy. Why not be up-to-date and study aeroplanology.

THE SPRING SONG (With apologies to Mendelssohn.)
'Tis spring when all of nature 'wakes,
When birds return, when flowers bloom,
When the sun is bright and soft and warm
And the air is filled with sweet perfume.
This is the time when "cases" grow,
When Cupid 'gins to shoot his darts,
When boys and girls on the campus stroll
And to each other pledge their hearts.
There are Arthur and Tess both bright and gay,
Little they care how gloomy the day.
Reta and Fritz are lovers too,
In faithfulness surpassed by few.
Edgar and Hazel are often seen,
Strolling about on the campus green.
Georgia and Archie are never apart,
Hardest hit by the fatal dart.
Milton and Moneta. Oh, what a case!
For all other strollers they set the pace.
No one can deny that this is true love
Ordained by the Gods that dwell above.
Maud and Lee are recent comers
Already known as constant lovers.
It would not do to slight Bess and Bill.
As faithful as any two on the "Hill."
And so we might name them and call them to mind,
The more we look for the more we find;
They are here and there and everywhere,
Dozens and dozens and some to spare.

Little Mary was enduring a visit from her boisterous cousins from the West. One evening after the children had said their prayers, they began to talk about heaven.

RE=ORGANIZE GOLF CLUB.
Will Include Fifty Members From Faculty and Student Body.
Fifty members is the number which the recently re-organized Oread golf club has set for its goal. Already many have joined and the number is constantly increasing until in a short time the limit will have been reached.
The former Oread golf club was organized in 1899 with a membership of forty from among the faculty, student body and residents of Lawrence. The links used was the northern part of the campus just south and east from McCook field. Numerous contests were held with teams from Topeka, Kansas City and Leavenworth, always with more or less success. For four years the club flourished but finally, in 1904, for some reason or other the organization was discontinued.
Recently the Club has been rejuvenated under the old name by a number of men from the faculty and student body. Much interest is being taken and its permanence seems assured. The Club plans to use the immediate future in becoming thoroughly organized and in improving the links, which, for the most part include the same ground used by the former club. Later in the season games will be matched with nearby towns.

The study of labiology is one of the latest fads of the East. What next?
Fine Arts Students to Italy.
Definite plans have been made for a class of fine arts students which will study voice in Italy this summer. The party will leave Lawrence May 31, and sail from New York on June 3, making a six hour visit at Niagara Falls en route. The entire summer vacation will be spent in Florence where the students will study under Madam Barracchia with the assistance of Professor C. E. Hubach.
Two days of each week will be spent in taking short pleasure trips to all the principal cities of Italy and in this way a double benefit will be derived from the trip.
Those who will compose the party are: Prof. and Mrs.C.E. Hubach and family; Miss Agnes Husband, a freshman in the college; Miss Florence Heizer, '07, now teaching in the high school of Cherokee, Kans.; Miss Mary Sellars, also a teacher at Cherokee; Miss Nita Abraham, of Kansas City, a special student in voice; Miss Louise Fitch,'08, of the piano department; Miss Kate Reynolds,'08, of the voice department; and Mr. Charles Barkdull, of the college.
The party will return next fall in time for the opening of the University.

University Will Keep Standards For the State.
STANDARD MEASURES HERE.
Mr. E. F. Stimpson, assistant professor of Physics at the University, returned Monday from a trip of investigation to Washington, D.C., in regard to the new standards of weights and measures to be installed at the university of the state.
Two years ago the legislature appropriated a sum of money to purchase the weights and measures and the Chancellor by virtue of his office will have control of them. Several hundred dollars worth of standard weights and measures will be purchased of the W. and L. E. Gurley Co. of Troy, New York, and then sent to the Bureau at Washington to be standardized. The weights are made of solid bronze and are adjusted by plating with gold. The Weights and Measures will be delivered to the University during the summer and in the meantime a fire-proof vault will be built in the basement of Fraser Hall to receive them.
Dr. Mightman, the head of the weights and measures department of New York, while talking to Professor Stimson, said that, in his estimation, the laws of Kansas in regard to weights and measures were the best in the United States and were so recognized by many eastern men.
For the present the pure food inspectors will carry on the work of regulating and making

MASQUE OUT OF TROUBLE.
Will Settle Difficulty by Paying Royalty.
The manager of the Masque Club, before deciding to put on a second performance of "In the Bishop's Carriage," consulted with several lawyers and Chancellor Strong. As the club was under considerable expense, it was necessary to give a second performance. The lawyers advised the club to give its play.
The manager sent a telegram to Liebler and Co., offering to pay the royalty, as he had no intention of trying to avoid it. A telegram was received yesterday, from the New York company proposing terms for settlement. The trouble will probably be settled without further difficulty.
A large audience attended the second performance Tuesday night. The club will come out this year without a deficit.

NUMBER 73
FRESHMEN MADE GOOD
ROBERTS BEAT DOUGLAS LAST NIGHT.
Two of Four Freshmen Placed Missouri Won Four Mile Relay Race.
The freshman athletes of the University of Kansas made a great showing in the handicap meet at Convention Hall last night. Of the four who entered two placed. They were pitted against the greatest athletes of the middle west. The old men who were entered did not make a point.
"Bob" Roberts, the freshman sprinter, took Shannon Douglas' measure in the fifty-yard dash. The Missouri captain made light of the youthful athlete, but after being set back a yard for jumping the gun he defeated the Tiger runner by two yards. In the finals Roberts ran against Taylor and Cornett and took third place but did not lose by more than a foot. The time was .05-2.5.
French jumped two inches higher than any other man last night but he was scratch and had to contend against a five-inch handicap. He reached 5 feet 9 inches, using his old-time style.
Watson got 200 yards handicap in the two-mile race and was never passed, but Crocombe of Chicago was given first on account of lost count in the laps.
The freshman shot-putter, Amiens, held his own but his handicap was so small that he did not place. Newbold was unable to place in the finals for the low hurdles. Haddock drew Cornett in his preliminary heat for the fifty-vard dash. Wenger and Johnson both vaulted 10 feet 2 inches.
Kansas lost the four-mile relay race with Missouri by a lap. The Kansas team was Fairchilds, Badger, Clarke and Cooley. The Missouri team was Steele, Shuck, Johnson and Cleland. Time was 19 minutes, 2 2-5 seconds.
The Kansas athletes will have nothing to do now until the interclass meet which will be held April 24. Coach Hagerman desires that all the classes elect captains the first of next week.
WILL DEBATE HERE TONIGHT
The Kansas-Cororado debate will be held in Fraser Hall this evening at 8 o'clock. The shipping subsidy question will be discussed.
Thomas H. Morrow will open the debate for Colorado. Herman Weinberger, who will do the rebuttal work, will be the second speaker. Phillip S. Van Cise is the third speaker for Colorado.
P. C. Carson will open the negative for Kansas. He will be followed by R. G. Hemenway and J. W. Harbeson. Hemenway will have the rebuttal work. Admission will be 25 cents. Athletic tickets are good.
"AS YOU LIKE IT"
WAS GIVEN LAST NIGHT TO GOOD HOUSE.
Amateur Actors Made Good Showing in Shaksperean Roles Miss Rankin the Star.
The Thespian Dramatic Club presented "As You Like It" before a good sized crowd at the Bowersock opera house last night. The play as a whole was well put on and the audience was pleased with it. The voices of the performers were remarkably clear and distinct and the reading of the lines well done for amateur players
As Rosalind, Miss Gretchen Rankin took the leading part in a charming manner and was perhaps more successful than any other member of the cast in bringing out the possibilities of a character. The stiffness of certain characters, which seems to be inevitable in every amateur performance was noticeable last night, but not in such a degree as to prevent a good performance.
As foretold by the advance notices the wrestling of Van Meter and Burdick made a hit with the audience. The usual luck of amateur performances was not absent from this one, as the melancholy Jaques lost his beard in the same minute that he made his initial appearance on the stage.
The play lacked somewhat the vivacity and "go" that are among its possibilities.
KANSAS CITY ALUMNI DINNER
Yesterday evening at the University Club in Kansas City the Kansas City alumni of the University held their second annual banquet. A large company attended the banquet and listened to toasts by Chancellor Strong on "The Future of Kansas University;" Dean J. W. Green on "A Perennial Grief;" F. G. Crowell, '88, on "The Brave Days of Old;" and J. M. Challis, '94, on "Disconnected Remarks." General Frederick Funston also spoke of the old days when he was a student here with William Allen White and Gov. Herbert Hadley.
The Chancellor in his talk told of his ambition to get the University close to the grass roots of Kansas and help all the people. Dean Green advocated the hiring of an experienced track coach who can give all his time to track work at the University.
Rov Stockwell, a sophomore in the college in 1905-6, visited with friends at the University this week and spoke at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday evening. He spoke on good citizenship work and urged the boys to identify themselves in all possible ways with all organizations actively engaged in promoting the best welfare of mankind. Mr. Stockwell left for Baltimore, Friday, where he is employed by the Tuberculosis Association.

WON FROM HASKELL
JAYHAWKERS SCALPED INDIANS BY CLOSE SCORE.
Indians 7 Hits , Kansas 3—Again This Afternoon.—Aggies Next Thursday.
Yesterday afternoon the Jayhawker baseball team opened the season on McCook field by defeating the Haskell Indians by the score of 1 to 0. This afternoon they played the Redskins again but on the Haskell diamond.
Burdick was on the rubber for the Kansans and allowed the Indians seven hits all of which were scattered. The first Indian up in the ninth inning got a three base hit but the next man up knocked an easy grounder to Blacker who cut the speedy Indian off before he got home getting the Jayhawkers out of a bad hole.
Only three of the Jayhawkers were able to get a hit off the Indian slab artist. Lovett, Blacker and Walker were the lucky ones. The lone score of the Jayhawkers came in the fifth inning. Lovett got a pass and stole second, "Mike" Blackar was next on the batting list and swatted out a two bagger scoring Lovett.
The Jayhawker line up was Rockefeller, catcher; Burdick, pitcher; Walker, first; Gibbs, second; Haller, shortstop; Blackar, third; Lovett, left field; Wood, center field; and Carlson, right field.
The last of next week the Jayhawker team will leave on a trip through central Kansas. The first game will be played with Manhattan next Thursday. The Farmers are playing whirlwind ball this year.
THE CONCERT WAS A SUCCESS
A prize of a $5 gold piece will be given to the Freshman who writes the best prose article of less than 1500 words for the "Quill," the publication of the Quill Club. Freshmen should see any member of the English faculty.
The University Orchestra presented its annual concert before a good sized audience of students and townspeople in the chapel Thursday evening. The members, who are twenty-six in number this year, have had frequent practices and under Dean Skilton's direction furnished a strong program which was well received by the audience. The only vocal number was by Miss Gertrude Russ who sang with the orchestra accompaniment Berceuse from "Jocelyn," the words of which were composed by Professor W. H. Carruth. "The Old Folks at Home," as played by the stringed orchestra was a pleasing number to all lovers of that melody. When "The Crimson and the Blue" was reached at the close of the "College Song Overture" the audience rose to its feet.
Quill Club Prize.
LECTURES BEGUN
DR. VAN EEDEN ON "HAPPY HUMANITY."
Told of Holland's Condition and Warned the Americans against Current Influence.
Dr. Frederick van Eeden, the versatile Hollander who is at the University giving a series of lectures, spoke in Fraser Hall, Thursday and Friday afternoon on a "Happy Humanity" presenting his ideas as a sociologist. His message to America is that though the people of this nation are comparatively happy and successful they are no more so than were the Hollanders in their best days, and that decline will be inevitable in this country if it is not warned by the example of Holland. Americans are striving to get wealth, as much as possible, as soon as possible and in any way possible. The result is waste and want. Greediness causes a division of the people into the idle rich and the overworked poor. Misery results among both classes as is manifested by nervous diseases, immorality, and suicide which effects are increasing relatively faster than the population.
Dr. van Eeden believes that competition is the cause of much inefficiency in production. Cooperation in which consumer and producer work together is what he advocates. He is a Socialist of that type.
The private ownership of land should be changed to a common ownership, says Dr. van Eeden. He wishes the brainy men of America to take up and work out the problem. He has no confidence in complete equality among the workers as regards duties, for the need of a capable manager was strongly emphasized in his experience with a communistic enterprise. Dr. van Eeden believes that a selection of America's best immigrants and their cooperation in agricultural pursuits would furnish a good field for operation.
Dr. van Eeden says that although he could be happy in his other pursuits he presents sociological problems because he wants this nation to accept his warnings and its leaders to profit by his advice and experiences.

The Wamba Club, whose sole purpose is the dissemination of wit and humor, will meet tonight at 1304 Ohio street. New members will be taken in and some things of general importance will be taken up. This club meets every two weeks, and has for its object nothing else than a pleasant sociable time.

PROFESSOR CARRUTH AND THE MAYORALTY.
Two of the down town papers look upon the candidature of Professor Carruth for mayor of Lawrence with positive disfavor and are letting no opportunity pass to discredit his campaign. For some time these two guardians of the people's rights could find no grounds upon which to base a logical opposition to the Vice-Chancellor. But in the last couple of weeks with rare harmony and concord they have seemingly discovered an issue and have proceeded to ride it all over the lot. The two eagle-eyed editorial writers have made the discovery that Professor Carruth is connected with the University and that therefore he has no right to run for mayor. In other words they decree that any person connected with the University has no privilege to show political activity or to exercise his prerogatives of citizenship. Were this edict authoritative there would be some cause for apprehension among the friends of Professor Carruth. But the people of Lawrence know very well that before Professor Carruth was associated with the University he was a citizen of the town and that at the present time his interests in citizenship, good government and purity in politics take precedence over any University interest she may have. The proper use of citizenship is the cardinal privilege and duty of all Americans. Professor Carruth is not ostracised from citizenship by the fact that he is head of the German department in the University but, like all citizens he has perfect right and privilege to be a candidate for any office under the sun.
The spring plays of the Masque and the Thesplans were the best given by students this year, if not for several years. However the managers of the clubs made a mistake in booking the plays in the same week. There is plenty of room at the University for two dramatic
clubs but not room for two plays in one week. There is no reason for jealous competition between the Masque and the Thespians and the two clubs should work in harmony. One play in the fall and one in the spring will amply satisfy the amateur dramatic craving of the student body and one play a year by each club is all that can be staged with success.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents Thursday a rule was adopted that in the future, except in laboratories, no students be employed for instructional work. In times past the path of the student on his journey toward knowledge has been made thorny by student instructors, and, while they have not all been poor teachers by any means, the action of the board was necessary. Commencing next fall students are sure to be guided on the road of learning by preceptors trained and experienced for the task.

SOPHOMORE PROM PLANS.
Event To Be Elaborate—Dates Wanted Soon.
The Sophomore party committee held a meeting last night to make preliminary arrangements for their "prom," which will be given in Fraternal Aid Hall May 14. It was decided to make the party informal but to spare nothing in making it one of the best that has ever been given.
In order to be able to complete arrangements as soon as possible the members of the invitation committee are asking all seniors and sophomores to hand in their dates before April 10 and if the list grows rapidly this will probably be the time limit for handing in dates.
The invitation committee, to one of whom the dates should be handed, includes Milton Baer, Homer Berger, John Pratt, Lawrence Brown, Stella Cornell, Delpha Johnson and Anna Williams.
John Loomis, of Omaha, is visiting his brother, Alexander, at the Sigma Chi house.
ON DUTCH POETS
DR. VAN EEDEN LECTURED AGAIN YESTERDAY.
Told of Holland's Literature—Foet of Life—Tommorrow on Psychotherapy.
Dr. F. van Eeden introduced his lecture on "Dutch Literature" on Monday afternoon by briefly discussing the vigor and age of the Dutch language. Of Teutonic origin it is more like the English of Chaucer than is the medieval like modern English.
Commencing with the poets who wrote in the golden age of Holland's history, he sketched the works, character and influence of the different authors through the years of his nation's decline down to the present period. Commenting upon the efforts of authors who had sought to right evils, Dr. van Eeden spoke of the ill treatment received by one genius who had written a novel laying bare the grievous slavery practiced in the Dutch East Indies.
In speaking of the present day literature as presented by himself and associates, Dr. van Eeden paid a high tribute to the English poets, Shelley and Keats, to whom they had looked up. When his fellow poets came under the influence of the French writers, a literary quarrel ensued as Dr. van Eeden continued to stand up for ethical beauty in his art.
Dr. van Eeden said that he is trying to be a poet in life as well as in literature. He stands up for his fellow men. He closed his address by reading a few verses of his own from an ode to the great poets of Europe.
On Wednesday afternoon Dr. van Eeden will continue the presentation begun this afternoon on the treating of diseases by mental suggestion.

BOLSTERING UP TRACK ATHLETICS
Dean Green in his speech before the Kansas City alumni of the University last Friday evening gave expression to a sentiment that the student body is greatly concerned in. His subject was track athletics and he offered a panacea for the sickly condition of the team. He said that track athletics would only prosper when an experienced coach was obtained to devote his entire time to that branch of sport.
Dean Green is right, as he always is on subjects athletic. A coach working half time, and in that half time conducting gym classes can not be expected to turn out winning teams against schools with coaches devoted to track training alone. Kansas should take a few pointers from Missouri. The Tiger track team has been training all year under Monilaw and Crouch, the ex-Tiger hurdler. Early in November at the time of the Missouri-Washington football game Monilaw had all his track athletes in regular training. Coach Hagerman, foundered with work, had not had time to think of a track team or track prospects at that early date. Kansas must follow Missouri's example and hire a man who will be given time to take care of the track men.
Missouri's action in obtaining a football coach is also worthy of commendation. The Tigers, long losers at the gridiron game, mean to spare no expense in instituting a winning system and so they hired Roper, the Princeton coach, at $2,500 per season. Kansas must dig down in her pockets and find the price of a good track coach in some way. If no other method is successful the students will willingly stand a fifty cent increase on the price of the student ticket. A winning track team next year at any price should be the slogan of the followers of athletics.
The debating team has met and defeated the Colorado team and put the first debate of the
season in the "won" column for Kansas. It is a pleasure to take the measure of a team of gentlemen like Colorado is in the habit of sending out. In fact a defeat would lose the greater part of its sting if obtained from the hands of the gallant debaters from our sister state on the west. Win or loose Kansas can not fail to gain through a forsene contest held in a spirit of rivalry and fair play. And preeminent among the fair players stands our ancient and honorable rival, Colorado.
Referee Barnes in an open letter to the Kansas City Star answers the allegation of Coach Monilaw that Cooley's foul of Cleland was intentional. Barnes who was close at hand saw every detail of the foul and his judgment as referee was that it was purely accidental. Coach Monilaw is wrong in maintaining that the foul was intentional and he is exceeding his rights in maintaining that Cleland should be given first place over Clarke

CO-EDS HAVE THE REINS.
Are Spending Class Money Against the Wishes of the Men.
The men of the senior class have received a striking object lesson on what may happen in the country when woman suffrage is permitted in state and national as well as in school politics.
At a meeting held last Friday, the girls of the class asked for $15 from the class treasury with which to entertain the ladies of the faculty. The boys of the class objected to spending the money in this way but the girls were in the majority and voted themselves the $15. The vote was strictly on the lines of the men against the co-eds.
Then the boys took it into their heads that they wanted an equal amount from the treasury in order to give a smoker to the faculty. After due consideration of the matter, the girls voted to let them have it, nothing loath to appease the men with this small favor after having shown them their place in the class.

Dr. van Eeden at Vespers.
In his address on "Religion and Business" at the vesper services Sunday afternoon Dr. F. van Eeden deplored the separation between the things we say on Sunday and the things we do on other days. "Let us not keep business and religion in water-tight apartments," he said. The command to love your neighbor should cause us to include all humanity in our helpful ministrations. Dr. van Eeden declared positively against the charging of interest on borrowed money. He believes that the sale of land is wrong because the large land owner acquires such power that he practically buys men with the land.

TALKED ABOUT DR. CANFIELD
Prof. F. W. Blackmar spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on the life and influence of Dr. James H. Canfield who died in New York last week where he has been librarian of Columbia University since 1899. After graduating from Williams College in 1868 Mr. Canfield engaged in railroad building in Iowa and Minnesota for three years before entering the practice of law in St. Joseph, Mich. In 1877 he became professor of history and instructor in several other branches in the University of Kansas. He became so much in love with his work and the students and citizens of Kansas that he accepted the call to a larger work in 1891 as chancellor of the University of Nebraska with great personal sorrow. He was later president of the Ohio State University for four years before taking the librarian's duties at Columbia.
Professor Canfield was primarily a great educator and continually showed it in his intimate relations with the teachers and students of Kansas when in the University.
In closing Prof. Blackmar read an extract from Prof. Canfield's book, "The College Student and His Problems," and quoted from President Butler's recent testimony to Dr. Canfield's high character.
Professor Bailey a Member.
Professor E. H. S. Bailey, of the Chemistry department, has received a notice from the Association of State and National Food and Dairy Departments that he has been appointed on a committee to investigate the work of the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture and the results of various state food departments concerning the use of benzoate of soda in food preparations. The results of these authorities hitherto have been conflicting as to whether or not benzoate of soda is a harmful preservative. Eleven state chemists were appointed from various representative states to decide finally on its use. Professor Bailey's special work will be concerned with the Kansas state food department.
In connection with the practice court work for the second and third year law students which is in charge of Prof. W. E. Higgins, Roger W. Cooley of St. Paul, Minn., is giving a series of lectures and laboratory work this week on "How To Find the Law." The first lecture was given Monday afternoon and the remainder of the course will be given during the rest of the week at such hours as not to interfere with the regular law classes. Mr. Cooley was graduated from the University of Mich gan in 1882 and has given this series of lectures for three years at the principal law schools of the country.
"How To Find The Law."
SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED.
Price to Represent Alumni; Turner, Phi Beta Kappa.
The Alumni address at the coming commencement will be delivered by Superintendent Richard R. Price of Hutchinson, who was graduated from the college in 1897 and who has been Superintendent of the Hutchinson high school since that time. Mr. Price is the editor of the "Interstate Schoolman," a leading teachers journal and is prominent in teachers' organizations of Kansas. The address will be delivered the morning of class day in chapel.
The Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa honorary fraternities alternate each year in furnishing the commencement speaker. The latter has announced that Professor Frederick Jackson Turner, head of the history department of the University of Wisconsin will speak on June 7 on "Pioneer Ideals and the University."
New Code of Civil Procedure.
The Code of Civil Proceedure passed by the last legislature is expected to reduce many of the delays and abolish technicalities incident to civil cases in this state. The code is the result of two years' work on the part of a committee by the state bar association. The work was largely done by ex-justice S.H. Allen, Judge T.F.Garver, and Robert Stone, all of Topeka, and by Judge C.W. Smith,'76, of Stockton, Judge J.C.Ruppenthal,'95, of Russell and Professor W.E.Higgins, of the Law School.

DR. VAN EEDEN FOR LAST TIME
YESTERDAY'S LECTURE WAS LAST OF SERIES.
Psycho-theropy Was Discussed by the Noted Hollander in Two Lectures.
Dr. van Eeden closed his week at the University with lectures on Psycho-theropy before large audiences in the chapel Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
Preliminary to a discussion of the modern methods of healing disease by suggestion he sketched the many historic instances of the use of the will emotions or imagination in affecting the human body. Astonishing results were secured by Mesmer a hundred years ago by what he called electrical magnetism. Hypnotism is a modern term for the unusual manifestations; however, Dr van Eeden distinguishes between hypnotism and psychotherapy as practiced in the clinic which he established at Amsterdam. He says that the subconscious mind is the actor and may be subject to suggestion when the patient is in natural and healthful sleep. The power to be influenced by suggestion is a normal characteristic of the physical body. Dr van Eeden's definition of suggestibility is the aptitude of the mind to conceive an ideal and the ability to put it into action. The valuable use of suggestion may be made by teachers and parents as well as physicians. Dr. van Eeden mentioned several experiments showing how plastic are children's minds to suggestions. He urged that great care always be used that the child's natural suggestibility is not increased and that its independence should not be destroyed. In fact, suggestion should be used for healing only by competent physicians. The cause of much quackery is that doctors have left to the laymen the methods which they might have employed to assist their regular work.
Dr. van Eeden does not advocate psycho-therapy as a panacea in all cases. But knowing positively what he has accomplished by it he considers it a useful accessory to other methods. It stimulates the natural healing powers of the body.
He closed by reference to his belief in the unity of science and religion. "All religion belongs to science, and all science belongs to religion. Religion without science is superstition."
John Harbeson has been out of school this week.
GAME ENDS THE PRACTICE
SPRING FOOT BALL PRACTICE FINISHED YESTERDAY.
Two Picked Teams Played—The Kansan Cup on Display at Gustafson's.
Yesterday afternoon on the spring practice football gridiron two picked football teams battled for thirty minutes without either of them making a score. Carl Pleasant, next year's captain, and Jay Bond captained the two squads. With yesterday's game spring practice ends.
Both teams used practically all open field work. At times the men were able to get away with an onside kick or a fake punt. The forward pass was not tried. Line bucking and end running were used a little and with good success. From start to finish the game looked like real foot ball. The men got down the field on punts and tackled just as hard as they do in foot ball season.
Coach Kennedy said that he was well pleased with the work of the men. "Although there have been but three or four old men out, still we have had a good workout and it has materially helped the new men. Every night we have had twenty to thirty men to work with. from present prospects we will have a whirlwind team next year.
Next week all the men that expect to compete in The Kansan prize kicking contest can have the use of the foot ball field for practice. Coach Kennedy would like to have every man that can kick a foot ball and is eligible for the team next fall, try for the cup.
The Kansan trophy, which is a loving cup, will be on display at Gustafon, the College Jeweller's show window until April 17, the date upon which the contest will be held.
CONTEST APRIL 17.
Football Men to Compete for The Kansan Cup.—Rules Made.
Saturday night Dr. James Naismith, Coach "Bert" Kennedy and a representative of The Kansan drew up the rules for the kicking contest for The Kansan cup. The contest will take place on Saturday morning, April 17.
The contest will be divided into four sections: straight-away punting, onside kicking, drop kicking and place kicking. In the punting contest each participant will be given three trials and each punt that exceeds 45 yards will be credited 25 points. A punt that falls be-

JAYHAWKERS LEFT TODAY
BASE BALL TEAM ON FOUR GAME TRIP.
Topeka White Sox,Aggies,and Bethany College Are To Be Played.
Today at noon the Jayhawker base ball squad left for a four game trip. This afternoon they will play the Topeka White Sox in Topeka, tomorrow and Saturday on the K. S. A. C. diamond the heavy hitting Kansans will attempt to solve the curves of that sprightly young Farmer, Baird, who baffied the Jayhawker team last year for two straight in a double header contest. On Monday the team will play Bethany College at Lindsborg.
All the pitchers will be given a try against Cooley's pets. At Manhattan Harlan is expected to do the twirling for the first game and Burdick will be used for the second one.
Coach Ebright expects to win one of the Aggie games and may be both of them. The men that he depends upon to do the heavy slugging have been connecting with the ball very little. They are: Walker, Gibbs, Haller, and Carlson. If these men get their batting eye the coach thinks that they will keep the Manhattan outfielders busy.
Thirteen men will make the trip. They are: catchers, Huff, and Rockefeller; pitchers, Harlan, Burdick, Lock, and Heizer; first base, Walker; second base, Gibbs; short stop, Haller; third base, Blackar; left field, Lovett; center field, Wood; and right field, Carlson. Manager Lansdon and Coach Ebright will accompany the team.
FARMER ATHLETES HERE MAY THIRD
On Monday May third the Jayhawker track athletes will compete with a team from the Kansas State Agricultural College on McCook field. This is the first meet between the two schools for several years. The Aggies have been persistent in their attempts to arrange for this contest and Manager Lansdon finally consented to the meet from the fact that Kansas owes the Aggies one. In return the Freshmen team from here will be taken to Manhattan but the date has not been set as yet.
The Farmers have a strong track team this year and critics, who judge from the records made in their early tryout say they will be well able to make a good showing against the Jayhawker team. The Jayhawkers will commence out door work next week.
HAMILTON HOLT HERE
NEW YORK EDITOR GUEST OF THE UNIVERSITY.
Spoke in Chapel, Talked to Journalism Classes and Lectured in the Evening.
Hamilton Holt, managing editor of the New York Independent, and one of the American representatives at the International Peace conference at The Hague, was the guest of the University yesterday, speaking before the journalism classes, in chapel, and in the evening delivering his address on "The Federation of the World."
In his chapel talk he dwelt on four of the problems which confront Americans who wish to change for the better the present conditions in this country. He first named the economic problem relating to the just distribution of wealth. Women's relations to the state and society have been further worked out in Kansas than in New York, he said. The most difficult problem of all in this country is the race question, Mr. Holt thinks. The problem of interational peace includes the extension of law to conditions over which it has no control at present.
Before the journalism classes Mr. Holt outlined the work of the magazine editor.
Last night Dr. Holt spoke in chapel on the problem of international peace. He sketched briefly the results that have been accomplished at The Hague conferences and the vast significance this movement has for the whole world, presaging as it does disarmament and the removal of the military burden from Christendom. He thinks The Hague court will grow until it supervises the affairs of nations in such way as our federal constitution grew from the needs of a number of small states of common interests.
Y. M. C. A. Benefit.
At the last meeting of the Pan-Hellenic Council it was decided that the fraternities give a benefit for the University Y. M. C. A. This affair is to be given in Robinson Gymnasium some time near the last of this month. It will consist of a vaudeville performance, the various stunts being put on by the different fraternities. A nominal charge will be made. All the men and women of the University are cordially invited to attend.
Carl Young, '08, was in town yesterday on his way to Wellington where he has an interest in the Daily News.

SAM BISHOPS GREAT OPPORTUNITY
Deserted by his own party and with the solid "wet" and business interests against him. Professor Carruth was defeated for the mayoralty on Tuesday. Professor Carruth wanted the office because he felt that it offered a great opportunity to a man who would make a bigger, better, and cleaner Lawrence. He really did not have the time to devote to the work but he was willing to sacrifice his larger and more important interests to aid the town that he lives in. The people for varied reasons did not accept his sacrifice, and Professor Carruth is doubtless the better off for that fact.
In the next few years Lawrence will be in the turning point of her career. With a larger University assured and a street car line promised the town should grow as it has never grown before. Sam Bishop has a big task and a glorious opportunity before him. He must keep the city clean and make it a good place to live in and a good place for the people of the state to send their sons and daughters to school. The University is now and will probably always continue to be the biggest thing connected with Lawrence. One-seventh of the population of the town is made up of students and they are responsible for at least one-fifth of the money spent in the town. The state has made plans for a greater University, the city should now make plans for a greater Lawrence in order to accommodate the University to be.
A Lawrence editor who bears the proud distinction of being a larger contributor to the internal revenue fund than any other man in Lawrence claims that there was rottenness and corruption in the second ward at Tuesday's election, through the voting by the Carruth forces of students who were not citizens of Lawrence. The Kansan knows of only one instance
where a student voted who had not the right to vote, and this student was an avowed supporter of Mr. Bishop. The editor who raised the cry of corruption in the second ward says he is equipped with names and complete data and will make them known to interested parties. It is his duty to print them. Now if there is anything behind the holier-than-thou pose of civic virtue which he has so long inflicted on the people of Lawrence he will do what he can to bring violators of the election laws to justice. The information which The Kansan has is at his service.
Of all the men who have spoken at the University, there is probably not one who has caused more thought among the students than Dr. van Eeden. A person may not agree with everything that the noted Hollander says, but if a person hears his lectures he is forced to think, and healthy thinking never hurt anyone. Dr. van Eeden has a different viewpoint from the average man and his lectures are particularly valuable because they widen the scope of one's thought and help him to run his thinking apparatus out of the rut that confines his powers in a monotonous uniformity.

SHOPS GET A NEW WELDING MACHINE
A Sanford portable welding machine, made by the Sanford Manufacturing Company, of Bridgeport, Conn., was received at Fowler Shops two or three days ago. This is the first welding machine that the University has ever possessed.
It is an oxy-acetylene flame that the machine uses and it will weld steel and copper. It will cut steel and any other metal that will melt.
The men in the shop are making a truck now to run the machine around from one place to another.
This welding machine is entirely self-contained, automatic safe, reliable and has a wonderful range.
The main points about it are its economy in maintenance and operation, its simplicity and effectiveness, and its quality and durability.
The flame is so hot and the light is so intense that the person that operates the blow-pipe must wear blue-black goggles.

PROF. HIGGINS CHAIRMAN.
Of Committee to Revise Code of Criminal Procedure.
At the last annual meeting of the state bar association held in Topeka in January a committee was appointed upon the motion of S. H. Allen of Topeka whose duties should be to prepare for presentation to the legislature a bill revising the code of Criminal Procedure and the Crimis Act.
Prof. W. E. Higgins was made chairman of the committee the appointment of which was occasioned by an address which he had given in regard to Kansas law relating to the criminal. Of the five members of the committee Judge J. C. Ruppenthal of Russell is also an alumnus. With some funds at his disposal Prof. Higgins is now preparing letters to send to the county attorneys and other lawyers of the state experienced in criminal law asking for information which will enable the committee to prepare a code which will avoid many delays and technicalities now incident to the practice. Two years will be required for the committee to finish its work preliminary to drafting a bill.
KEMP ENTERTAINS.
Harry Kemp gave a dinner at the Eldridge house yesterday in honor of Dr. Frederick van Eeden and Mr. Hamilton Holt. Professors W. H. Carruth, J. H. Boodin, J. N. Van der Vries and C. M. Harger of the University faculty, the members of the Scoop Club, and a few other student friends were the guests of the Lawrence poet. The dinner was the realization of a long cherished dream on Kemp's part, for there sat at the table together as his guests Professor Carruth who helped him to get on his feet and encouraged him in his poetical ambitions when he first came to Lawrence, and Hamilton Holt who was first among the editors to give recognition and material aid to the poet by printing his verse in the Independent. Hamilton Holt arranged Dr. van Eeden's trip to this country, and the two had not met for a long time before coming together thus unexpectedly at the University of Kansas.

Too Early in Season for Team to Play Well—Gibbs Does Star Work.
Today the baseball team came home from its first trip of the season with three defeats and one victory to its credit. The trip took in games with Topeka league team, with Manhattan and with the Lindsborg Swedes. Games were dropped to each team but the Jayhawkers took one game in turn from the Aggies, and by breaking even with the terrible Farmers retrieved their other defeats.
The Aggie's team has been practicing at the pastime game for some time past and has collected and trained a great team. It looked as though Kansas was scheduled to let the Manhattan nine annex a couple straight and in fact the first game was lost by the score of 9 to 4. But the next day that sterling young slabster, Harlan, was pitted against the enemy and took the contest 5 to 4.
The Jayhawkers played fair games while on the trip and their team work, considering the earliness of the season, was fair. The pitchers did not work in the best shape and the men did not have their batting eyes with them. Gibbs and Carlson did the best batting for the squad and Gibbs was the star of the trip.
Against Bethany yesterday Kansas lost by the score of 1 to 0. The game was close and exciting all the way and Heizer for Kansas pitched a good game. The Lindsborg players won through ability to bunch their hits and take advantage of errors.
The game with Topeka on last Friday was lost by the score of 7 to 2. The Leaguers were too much for the Kansans.

THIS DOG LICKS STAMPS.
C. C. Young Has No Mucilage Taste in His Mouth.
NUMBER 76
Last week a gentleman from one of the more remote sections of the state was "seeing the sights" at the University. While he was going through the chemistry building, his attention was attracted by an unusual sight in one of the laboratories. On one of the tables was a long row of empty bottles and a high stack of labels. And perched upon the table was a fine specimen of a bull pup, calmly engaged in licking the labels, one after the other, while a young man, standing nearby, was pasting them on the bottles.
"Smart dog," said the visitor. Ye'd think them labels'd stick to his tongue."
"No," explained the young fellow with the rubber apron; "You see, the animal substance in the gelatin stimulates the action of his salivary glands, which naturally secrete the fluid that moistens the backs of the labels. Hence, no adhesion." "Well, I guess ye've edycated him all right," the gentleman returned as he walked off.
The dog is the property of Mr. C. C. Young, who has charge of the water analysis in the chemistry building. He says the dog learned the trick back in the chemical laboratories of Lehigh University, where he used to be stationed.
$300 IN CHEMISTRY PRIZES.
The American Optical Co. and W.R.Nelson Are the Donors.
A prize of $100 has been offered by the American Optical Company, through the Industrial Chemistry department, to any student in the University who discovers a method of putting permanent numberings and markings on optical lenses. W. R. Nelson of the Kansas City Star has given Prof. R. K. Duncan $200 to be given in prizes to the most deserving undergraduate students in Industrial Chemistry. Prof. Duncan has divided this amount into four paizes of $50 each. He has added one of these fifty dollar prizes to the $100 offered by the American Optical Company. This will give the winner of the contest $150. Students having industrial fellowships can not try for the prize.

QUESTION OF DORMITORIES
RECENT ELECTION SHOWED ATTITUDE OF LAWRENCE.
Slogan of "No Dormitories" Was Popular—Town Likes to Exploit Student Body.
A new and interesting light was thrown on the question of the high prices which the students have to pay for board and rooms in Lawrence by the recent city election. One of the issues on which the victorious candidate for mayor was elected was his opposition to the building of a dormitory for the girls of the University. The two newspaperswhich supported him came out and stated plainly that the building of a dormitory meant less money for the townspeople, and urged everybody to pull together to insure a state of affairs that would enable them to get the maximum amount of money out of the student body.
The outcome of the election would seem to show that if the University expects to get a dormitory, an appeal will have to be made to the state at large, as the Douglas county statesmen who usually undertake to further the University's interests in the Legislature can not be counted on to help get a dormitory.
That the policy of the townspeople is foolish and shortsighted becomes evident when it is reflected that the presence of a dormitory at the University which would accommodate seventy-five girls would doutless increase the attendance of girls 200, and 125 of them would necessarily be left to the tender mercies of Lawrence boarding house keepers.
It has always been a puzzle why living expenses are higher at the University than in any other college town in Kansas. The people of the town have always claimed that there was a sound economic reason for it, but the recent election indicates that the phenomenon may have another explanation. A dormitory or commons would have the effect of fixing a standard of rates which boarding house keepers might not like to meet.
The county clubs of the University should take up the matter of dormitories and impress upon the state at large the attitude which the town has taken toward the University.
Lectured on Liquid Air.
During the Easter vacation, Professor H. P. Cady lectured at Pawnee Rock and Great Bend upon "Liquid Air." He spent Sunday with his mother at Council Grove.
CHANGES IN FELLOWSHIPS.
Ralph Shuey Will Continue his Work on Diastase in Europe.
Some important changes have been made in the fellowships now held in the department of Industrial Chemistry.
The Alden B. Spear fellowship, which was established for the purpose of discovering new and improved methods in the laundry industry, has been extended by its donors for a period of three months at double the initial value. At the end of that time Fred Faragher, who now holds the fellowship, will have the privilege either of going into the corporation or of continuing his work for another year at the increased value.
The Parke, Davis Company intends to lengthen the time of its fellowship to a third year. Ralph Shuey, who is working under this fellowship, will leave in a short time for Europe where he will continue his investigations of diastase.
A CO-OPERATIVE CLUB.
Chemists Try an Experiment During Vacation.
Under the high-sounding title of the "Commensals Chimiques" nine of the members of the Chemistry department formed themselves into a co-operative boarding establishment for last Friday and Saturday of the Easter vacation. Miss Florence Hedger was chef for the occasion. Paul Faragher acted as secretary, his duties consisting in putting the menu on the black board. Henry Kohman was chief bread and potato baker. The treasurer was Paul Parmlee. The other officers were Ward H. Cook, official dish-washer; Frank Rupert, towel artist; Ralph Shuey, fryer; Fred Faragher, Monk; and Clarence Nash, ice man.
The menu was extensive and the cooking was a pronounced success' They enjoyed everything from hot griddle cakes and maple syrup to ice cream and home made doughnuts. The food was served in evaporating dishes, beakers and test tubes to give it the proper chemical flavor.
The most interesting feature was the economy of the undertaking. It cost each co-operator only eighty-two cents for his six meals.
The finale of the whole affair was a sumptuous poached egg contest. There were seven entries, but the thirty-six eggs gave out before a real victory could be declared. The winner withholds his name through modesty.
Helen Hurley of Emporia College was the guest of Nellie Burnham during the Easter holidays.

THE HISTORIC RIGHT TO GRAFT.
In the recent city elections there were not a few votes cast for Sam Bishop because it was feared that Professor Carruth would not look after the best interests of the town in all things. Some of the dear people of Lawrence suffered much anxiety in the recent contest through the fear that, if Carruth were elected mayor, dormitories and other unspeakable things would be built for the good of the student body. And while this phantom fear was groundless, because the mayor of this city does not have the prerogative of deciding such matters, it shows the sentiment of the Lawrence people toward the student body. The citizens, or a great many of them, regard the University as a providential asset, useful only because it means money in their pockets. The student body is only to be tolerated for the same reason and the people rise up in holy horror whenever their historic right to exploit the students is threatened in any way. They seemingly wish a strict line drawn between the University and the city, and they may soon get their wish. The University can get along without the city of Lawrence better than the city can get along without the University. The students provided with dormitories, dining halls, and cooperative stores could easily withdraw from the city and live to themselves. That is what the city seems to want and they may soon get it.
Professor Goss of the English department in Nebraska University asserts that the new movement for schools of journalism is a step in the wrong direction. Of course the journalist does not need the specialized instruction that is given to the doctor, to the lawyer or to the chemist. A newspaper man should have a broad knowledge of human nature, a varied experience in the world, and an appreciation of the cultural
courses in the college curriculum. At the same time a course in Journalism under a practical newspaper man is sure to be abundantly useful to the future Journalist.

Statistics Show that Americans Are Growing Larger.
Dr. Borne, medical director of the Yale gymnasium, has made public the 1908 statistics of development in the university. For the comparisons, 500 athletes from the boat crew, the football and the baseball teams, the track men and the student athletes generally were measured.
The general average is compared with the average taken in 1903, and the averages are generally higher than had been anticipated. The new college man has grown an inch and onehalf in five years. He has gained twenty-seven pounds in weight, and has seventy-two cubic inches more lung capacity than his prototype of five years back.
The list bears out the assertion, commonly made in recent years, that the American man was becoming greater physically than any other known race of men have ever been.
The comparative measurements given out by Dr. Borne are: 1908 1903
Height ...69.9 in. 68.4 in.
Weight ...170 lbs. 149 lbs.
Lung capac. 314 cu.in. 272 cu. in.
Shoulders ...17 in. 16.5 in.
Neck ...15 in. 14.1 in.
Chest ...38.3 in. 35 in.
Inspiration ...40.1 in. 37.3 in.
Waist ...31.6 in. 29.7 in.
Biceps ...13.1 in. 13.1 in.
Forearm ...11.2 in. 10.6 in.
Right thigh ...29.9 in. 21 in.
Right calf ...14.3 in. 14.2 in.
C. H. Withington, of the entomological department, has nearly completed a combination check list of the Dyar and Smith systems for the naming and numbering of N. A. Lepidoptera. Many entomologists use one of the two systems exclusively and the combination that Mr. Withington has made will enable a person at a glance to see what specimens are wanted from the list received.

Answer to a Communication.
A student whose throat and lips have long been dry and who has long suffered a consuming thirst for the spirits that make for conviviality has written The Kansan a letter. He wants to know where he can find some of the liquid refreshment that flowed so freely one short year ago and he wishes to verify the report that Lawrence is soon to be wet again. He signs himself "Temperance."
In answer to "Temp" we must state that we do not know where he could find any of the liquid sunshine in Lawrence at present. He might however disguise himself as a policeman or better still as the editor of the Gazette and get some samples of the beverages that cheer, but that is about the only way. We can not tell whether the bottoms will open up soon or not.
Among other funny things "Temp" said he wished to give his exuberant spirits free play in the poetic past time but could not find a suitable inspiration. For "Temp's" kind approval we submit the following:
Not the night-caps that were taken when nobody went to bed;
ward is as solemn as is death;
For it bears no pugent hop-smell
on its odorific breath;
And the breeze from over East-
And each man can walk a chalk line when the stars are in the sky,
For the beer glass now is beerless and the town, it still is dry.
Lay the jest about "Milwakee"
'neath the chestnut tree at last.
heath the chestnut tree at dusk For there is no beer in Lawrence and the olden days are past;
of the water wagon rumbles through the "Bottoms" on its trip,
And no student now can drop off to pick up the driver's whip; For the glasses now are dusty and
For the glasses now are dusty and the corkscrew hangeth high
Gloom has settled on the Bottoms and the town, it still is dry.

GENERAL FRASER'S ACCOUTERMENTS IN THE LIBRARY
A case containing the war accouterments of Gen. Fraser now stands in the upper hall of the library. They are the gift of Mrs. Frances E. Kempster of Milwaukee, a daughter of Gen. John Fraser.
General Fraser was the second chancellor of the University and served from 1868 to 1874. He was born in Scotland March 22, 1827, and studied at the University of Edinburgh and afterwards graduated from Aberdeen. After teaching in the Bermudas for a time he came to America and accepted the chair of mathematics and astronomy in Jefferson College at Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1863 Professor Fraser recruited a company of volunteers from the students of Jefferson College. He became finally brigadier-general of this company who, in their enthusiastic regard for him, called him the "gentlemanly colonel."
Gen. Fraser was in many battles, including those of Chancellorsville, Gettyburg, the Wilderness, and Appomatox. He was wounded several times and suffered imprisonment in Libby prison. One of the swords in the library was presented to him by the ladies of Canonsburg.
PROFESSOR BATES SPOKE.
Discussed Commission Government in Chapel.
Professor Frank G. Bates spoke in chapel this morning on the commission form of city government as it has grown up in several states of the middle West. As introductory he spoke of the failure in the government of cities in America resulting very largely from too great a division of authority. This method of controlling Galveston which was put in operation by the business men of that city after the disaster of 1900 was practically a commission form of government and proved successful. The system was adopted in several other Texas cities in 1907, and with improvements was adopted in Iowa the same year. The Kansas legislature passed a law in 1907 allowing Kansas cities of the first and second class to elect to adopt the new system. The law was remodeled at the last session but the scheme in this state yet lacks some of the good features of the Des Moines plan which Professor Bates outlined.
To Elect Basketball Captain.
At 10:15 tomorrow morning the members of the 1909 'Varsity basketball team will elect a captain for the coming year. "Tommy" Johnson, the crack forward of this year's team, is the only man out for the position.

H. O. Perry, for two years left guard of the Nebraska basketball team was elected to lead the '09-'10 team.

WHO FOR TRACK COACH?
SEVERAL HAVE BEEN MENTIONED FOR PLACE.
General Sentiment For a Good Man at Whatever Price.
The question of a track coach to succeed Coach Hagerman has been interesting the athletic authorities ever since the present track mentor handed in his resignation. Available men from this section of the country have been convassed and an attempt will probably be made to obtain an experienced man who can put track athletics on a par with other University sports.
Among the men who have been thought of for the place are; Coach W. O. Hamilton, of Central high school, Kansas City, Mo.; Arthur St. Leger Mosse, assistant football coach; "Phog" Allen, the basket ball coach; and E. E. Perry, assistant football coach at the University two years ago.
Of these men Coach Hamilton is perhaps best known as a track coach. He has turned out some of the best amateurs in the Missouri Valley and his high school squads are always among the first three or four contenders for the interscholastic championship. If he should come to the University he would undoubtedly bring with him some classy high school athletes. He is also an excellent basket ball teacher.
Coach Mosse was a weight man when he was a student at the University and he coached the track men at Western Reserve two years with success. "Phog" Allen has had little experience at the track game but there are many who feel that he could make good. Coach Perry is an old track star at the University of Chicago and coached Oklahoma A. and M. last spring.
It is the general belief that the authorities will make a mistake if they do not obtain the services of a trainer who can carry on Hagerman's good work. Many students are expressing the sentiment that an additional half dollar should be put on the athletic ticket if a first class coach can not be obtained in any other way.
New Officers to be Installed.
The installation of the new Y.M.C.A. officers, postponed from last week, will take place at the regular meeting at 6:45 in Myers Hall, this evening.
CONTEST FOR CUP SATURDAY
Saturday morning at 9:30 on McCook field the contest for The Kansan Cup will take place among the members of the football squad. One man who is eligible for the team next year may win the cup. The award will be made to the most consistent man in punting, drop kicking, place kicking, and onside kicking.
The Kansan Cup is a beautiful gold lined trophy nine inches high and five inches in diameter. It has two figured handles and will bear the name of the winner and of the donor, and the occasion for the gift in appropriate old English engraving. The cup will be personal and may be retained by the successful contestant or put in the trophy room of the gymnasium at his discretion. The cup is now on display in the window of Gustafson's College Jewelry Store.
"TOMMY" JOHNSON ELECTED CAPTAIN
Thomas W. Johnson, the speedy left forward of this year's basketball team was yesterday elected to captain next year's team. This is his second year at basketball, the first one being played when Milton Miller first captained the Jayhawker squad, in the season of '05-06. In '06-'07 Johnson did not play on the Varsity but he captained the ever-victorious team of the class of '08. Last year he was not in school.
Besides being a basketball player, Johnson is a track and football man.

NEW WORK FOR DUNCAN
WILL ESTABLISH BUREAU OF RESEARCH IN EAST.
fo Have Full Charge After Making Preliminary Plans, Will Sail For Europe.
To establish a bureau of scientific research within a large manufacturing corporation is a unique service for an educational institution.
This is what the University of Kansas, through Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan, has been requested to do. One of the largest and strongest manufacturing concerns in the United States has invited him to establish within the corporation a bureau of research with the object of applying scientific knowledge and training to the betterment of trade and industry.
Professor Duncan, who has received permission from the University to take up this work will leave May 1 for the East to lay the foundation work.
He must study the problems of the industry, see what sort of men are needed to unravel the tangles, and then find the men.
"There is more opportunity for achievement in chemical engineering for the young man of today than in any other field of effort," Professor Duncan said this morning. "The saddest thing of all to me is that I can't find these men at Kansas University."
The large Eastern corporation has put the whole matter in Professor Duncan's hands. He will have full charge of choosing six men for the bureau.
DUNCAN TO EUROPE
Professor Duncan will sail May 15th with his family for Europe to attend the International Congress of Applied Chemists, which meets at London, May 27th.
Pharmics to Kansas City.
The Students of the Pharmacy classes have received an invitation from the manufacturers and wholesalers in Pharmaceutical chemistry to visit Kansas City Friday. The object is to visit the large wholesale drug houses in that city. The members of the Pharmaceutical society are to be entertained at the Coates House with a banquet at one o'clock.
Ellis Mallam, of Kansas City has withdrawn from school.
CORNHUSKERS HERE TOMORROW
Tomorrow afternoon the Varsity baseball team will meet Nebraska on McCook in the first inter-collegiate game on the home diamond. Coach Ebright has made a few shifts in the line-up which is as follows: Rockefeller, catcher; Harlan or Heizer, pitcher; Walker, first base; Gibbs, second base; Huff, third base; Palmer, short stop; Carlson, right field; Wood, center field; Haller, left field.
Huff replaces Blacker at third; Palmer, Haller at short; and Haller, Lovett in left field. When asked what the chances were on the games with Nebraska, Coach Ebright said: "If the boys settle down and do as they have been doing in practice, I will expect them to win all the rest of the games this season. While on the trip we ran up against a little hard luck in the way of weather and hard trips. However, I was a little disappointed in the way they showed up in some lines. But Friday I expect the boys to be steadier and settle down and win easily."
So far this season Nebraska has been cleaning up all along the line, only dropping one to Missouri. Taking all facts into consideration, the games Friday and Saturday will be good, spicy ones with the odds in favor of Kansas.
Debaters Leave for Missouri.
M. O. Locke and L. E. Overman leave tomorrow for Columbia, Mo., where they will argue the ship subsidy question with the Missourians on Saturday evening. Locke was a member of the team that defeated Colorado last year. Overman was on the Freshman team in the inter-class debate last year.
Chemical Club Next Week.
The Chemical Club, which was to have met Wednesday, postponed its meeting until next week on account of the faculty meeting, at the next meeting Professor Landrum will talk on "The Design and Equipment of a Small Chemical Laboratory.,'
Corwin's Classes Win.
Corwin's freshman gym classes now hold the record in the five-mile relay. Wednesday morning thirty-three men made the distance in 19 minutes and 13 seconds, the record time. The races were run against time, the contest starting April second.

A MAN AND HIS UNIQUE WORK.
In the campaign to get the University closer to the grass roots of Kansas and to make it a first aid tothe people in things practical as well as in things theoretical the school has an extremely valuable asset in the person of Robert Kennedy Duncan. Chemistry is his field and utility is his watchward. Since he came to the University three years ago he has established nearly a dozen fellowships in industrial chemistry, paying from five hundred to two thousand a year. Some of the largest business concerns in the country have furnished the money, for they feel that it pays to have learned and trained men work on the problems that confront their business. Every company that has furnished a fellowship at the University has been amply satisfied with the results obtained and the extension of the industrial work is hampered only by the scarcity of men able to take up the advanced investigations. The University has received more substantial advertising among the business interests of the state through Professor Duncan's work than it received in all the former years of its existence. The industrial scholarships here are almost unique in America and they have been developed here to a further extent than in any other institution in the country. Robert Kennedy Duncan is doing a great work toward making Kansas the great practical seat of learning of the middle west.
The University should at once begin to make arrangements for high school day. Every high school boy or girl that comes to Lawrence that day should be entertained by the county clubs or by individual students. It might also be an excellent thing to have a large meeting in the evening after the track meet. At this meeting the winners might receive their cups and medals and different University people might
On Friday and Saturday Nebraska is in Lawrence to play the first Missouri Valley championship baseball games that Kansas is to have part in. The Cornhusker team played two with Missouri and broke even and they have the reputation of having a good team. The Kansas squad has not been going at its best by any means but its record has been fair. Two defeats over Nebraska will give the team confidence and will show that Kansas is a contender for the conference baseball championship.
speak to the high school visitors. The University band would be glad to play for such an event.
The debating team that leaves for Columbia tomorrow to meet the Tiger squad Saturday night, is composed of two experienced men and they should be able to give the Missourians a tussel for the honors. The debaters from Columbia defeated Kansas on the local platform last year and it is up to the present squad to get revenge in the territory of the enemy.
The basket ball team could not possibly have made a better choice for captain than they did make. Tommie Johnson, besides being the premier college player of the Missouri Valley, is a gentleman and a genuine sportsman through and through. He will make a great leader for the '09-'10 squad of basket throwers.
Cornell May Abolish Rooting.
Cornell is considering the advisability of abolishing cheering directed at the opposing players at a baseball game, especially when the pitcher is on the point of losing his nerve. This practically will mean cheering only between the innings. The New York papers are supporting Cornell.

One of the members of the Sophomore Prom committee said this morning that dates for the "Prom" are not being handed in by the Sophomores and the Seniors as they should be in order to give the committee an opportunity to complete the necessary arrangements for this social event. The members of the committee have been working for two months on the party and it is now up to those who expect to attend to get busy and hand in their dates.
Milton Baer is chairman of the invitation committee and the dates should be handed to him or to any one of the other members of the committee.
The "Prom" itself is to be given in less than a month and the time limit for dates will be much sooner so that unless the dates are in soon those who are tardy will find themselves without an invitation to the party.

Contest in Punting, Place, Drop and Onside Kicking—Caldwell, Allport and Dahlone do well.
Pleasant and Dahlene do well.
This morning Tommy Johnson added another honor to his list by winning the loving cup offered by the Kansan for the best all-round kicker. Out of a possible score of 300 points, Johnson made 175 points.
Much interest was manifested by the twelve men trying for the honor. The men were: Bowser, Waring, Heist, Bond, Lenox, Dahlene, Capt. Pleasant, Rice, Price, Caldwell, Speer, and Johnson. Every man was given three trials in the events, which werepunt for distance over 45 yards, place kick from 40 yard line, drop kick from 30 yard line and on side kick from 20 yard line. Every time a man made good in his trial he was given the credit of 25 points. Bill Caldwell carried off second honors with 150 points. Capt. Pleasant and Dahlene tied for third with 125 points; for fourth place Speer and Lenox divided honors with 100 points each.
Captain Crowell and Coach Kennedy were the judges for all the events.

The demonstrations were a take-off on the guides who conducted the legislators through the buildings when they visited here. Prof.Vander Vries acted as Chancellor and the members of the Sigma Xi as the legislators.
KAPPAS GAVE PARTY
The members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority gave their spring party in Fraternal Aid hall last evening.
At one end of the hall was suspended a large key, their pin, which was studded with small electric lights. At the other end was a present moon with an owl seated in it. This was also studded with electric lights which winked at intervals. On the receiving line were Miss Lucy Wright, Mrs. Hughes Miss Amy Merstetter, Miss Minta Schmidtts, Miss Bertha Kilworth, Miss Mary Johnston, Miss Nola Ayers, and Miss Irene Cunnick. Miss Marguerite Perkins, of Lawrence, and Mr. Fred R. Cowles, of Kansas City, led the grand march.
The feature of the evening was the sixteenth dance which was a favor dance. The women were each given a light blue
paper boa with dark blue ribbon strings, while the men were given horns filled with confetti.
Behind a bank of palms was stationed Harry Kelley's orchestra, of Kansas City, which furnished the music for the evening. The programs were passed by Miss Ethelynne Wilford, Clar Brigham, Miss Lillian Dreibelbis and Homer Berger.
In the lower hall a two course luncheon was served for the guests.

KANSAS WON
FIRST GAME WITH CORNHUSKERS WAS EASY ONE.
Visitors Left Field in Second Inning—Walker, Huff and Harlan Did Star Work.
The first baseball game of the season against Nebraska was played on McCook yesterday afternoon. The result was a victory for Kansas with a score of seven to two. The game was a good one and showed marked improvement in the playing of Kansas' men over the work they did in the first games. Harlan in the box did especially good work and the support given him by the other players made it possible for an easy victory.
It looked for a few minutes as though the game would end in the second inning. Metcalf of Nebraska while running from first to third on a hit made by Stuznegger cut second base and was called out by Umpire Howell. Nebraska immediately sacked the bats and started to leave the diamond saying that they would not finish the game. However after Kansas agreed to allow Metcalf to stay on third they came back and finished the game.
The game started at four o'clock with Kansas at the bat with Ward in the box for Nebraska. Four hits, a base on balls and three runs was the record of the first inning. After that it was comparatively easy. Another run was scored in the third, another in the fifth and two more in the seventh. Nebraska made one run in both the second and third but could not bring in any more.
The feature hitting for Kansas was done by Huff and Walker, each landing two base hits.

THE COUNCIL COMMIT TEE HAS FINISHED.
The special committee appointed by the Chancellor to draw up a constitution for a student council has finished its task and is ready to report the product of its work for the consideration of the student body. Just the exact status of the council, its powers and prerogatives, can not be determined by rule and square; the work to be done by the council is abundant but at the same time more or less vague. The committee realized that it was impossible to define the exact position of the council in relation to the different University elements, and so the constitution was made with a certain vagueness that permits expounding and developing in a manner best suited to the future needs of the student body.
Strict numerical representation of the schools was considered the best plan of apportionment and the petition system was adopted as a means of destroying fast factional lines in University politics. Enough freedom has been left to allow a legitimate political activity, for the committee realized that by killing all politics all election enthusiasm might be stifled and the success of the council imperiled from the very first. By running the nominations by the petition system and separating the schools factionalism will be reduced to a minimum and the political activity will be healthful and natural.
The proposed constitution doubtless has many shortcomings, but these can be rectified by the council as soon as it is in working order. The student body will not make a mistake if they adopt the plan to be submitted. The quicker the council is elected and gets down to definite business the sooner will the ultimate success of the scheme be achieved.
The Lawrence Gazette calls on the Chancellor or the board
of regents or the University council to institute a reform by "preventing unpubescent youths of the University from publishing alleged newspapers; purporting to state the opinions of the authorities." The Gazette's anxiety to break over the high wall it has been building between the University and the town in order to give the Chancellor some gratuitous advice is due to some plain talk in The Kansan about the way in which some people of the town regard the students only as fit subjects for their exploitation. The Gazette remains steadfast in its mission of fighting a lot of things it thinks it sees but which aren't really there. As a matter of fact the Kansan does not pretend to voice the opinions of the University authorities except when those opinions are enclosed in quotation marks. Any other opinions are those of the editors and of the student body. It may seem strange to papers like the Gazette that after having the wool pulled over their eyes for so long a time the students are waking up to the fact that they are being grilled in many ways by the enterprising money changers of the town, but such is indeed the fact.

The contest for The Kansan cup was a success, considering the fact that it was the first thing of the kind ever pulled off at the University. Probably the trophy will be given annually to the prize kicker on the football squad and it should aid materially in the development of talent in the kicking line.

Jones Builds Hygrometer.
Professor F. E, Jones of the wood-craft and pattern-making department has built a hygrometer which shows how the moisture in the air affects wood in its expansion and contraction. Bass-wood, which is more hygrometrical than most woods, is the sensitive part of the instrument. The chief importance of the hygrometer is to show the effect of the humidity of the atmosphere upon wood. In making patterns this effect must be overcome by having the contracting and expanding forces equalize each other.
May Music Festival.
The May Music festival will be given this year on Thursday and Friday, May 6 and 7. This season the management wishes to arouse more interest in the festival among the students than in former years. To do this, one ticket will be given to every student who sells ten tickets; or he will be given ten per cent of the money he may collect. Last year only 206 student tickets were sold while in other schools the number varied from 500 to 1000.

Sophomore Girls Adopt Rules.
After the installation of the new Y. M. C. A. officers Thursday evening by the retiring president, Frank Parker, he called upon them for short talks. "Bill" Caldwell, president, emphasized the value of the weekly meeting and urged the boys to support financially and in other ways to assist the cabinet in carrying forward the association work. Gordon Badger, the new secretary, testified to the value of the Y. M. C. A. in meeting new students at the stations and starting them with pleasant associates in their university life. Ralph Cole, treasurer for next year, spoke of the importance of prayer for successful association work. R. L. Douglas is the new vice-president.
The sophomore girls held a meeting yesterday to consider the "Standard of Living" which had been adopted by the seniors and juniors. After a heated discussion, the sophomores adopted the rules.

New Cataloging System.
This week a new numbering system for the cataloging of museum specimens was begun. The system adopted is a combination of the Dewey system, which is used in the library, and the one used in the Parker and Haswell text book. It will be adopted for the paleontological and other collections for zoology. This will entail an immense amount of work for the museum people as about 50,000 specimens are to be renumbered.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 20, 1909
VOLUME V
NUMBER 79
THE COUNCIL IS ASSURED
MASS MEETING ADOPTS MOST OF CONSTITUTION.
Suggested Changes to be Decided on at Once—The Representation of Different Schools.
This morning the temporary student committee, appointed by the Chancellor to draw up a constitution for the proposed student council, reported. The constitution as framed was satisfactory to the mass meeting of students for the most part. Objections were made to the section providing that a prospective member of the student council should qualify under the eligibility rules governing student enterprises other than athletics, and to the section requiring that candidates for the three offices present petitions signed by seventy-five electors before their names should go on the ballot.
An officer should be a well known student of the school and any person who cannot obtain the signatures of seventy-five students in the five schools of the University would seem to have no business running for an office.
Another objection urged was that the election should be held in the fall instead of in the spring, but student sentiment at present seems to favor a spring election. The freshmen could not vote intelligently in the early fall because they would not have become acquainted with the men in the other classes of the University. By spring, students are arguing, the freshmen will be eminently qualified to vote.
Several other points of revision of more or less importance were suggested and the temporary committee will consider them carefully and report on them soon.
The number of students at the mass meeting this morning was encouraging and shows that the majority of the students are becoming interested in the scheme. The greater part of the constitution was adopted and, while closer friends of the scheme had hoped to see the matter settled so that the election could be proceeded with on May 6, the outlook for organization yet this year is encouraging.
The basis of representation as adopted is one representative from each one hundred students or major fraction thereof
in each school in the University. The first council will be made up of five engineers, four from the college, three laws, one pharmacic and one medic in addition to the three officers elected at large.
The temporary committee will report on the suggested changes at the earliest time in order that the plan may be started at once.
KANSAS TO MEET MISSOURI NEXT
The scheduled game yesterday between Bethany and Kansas here, was called off on account of rain. The Jayhawkers were disappointed as they hoped to retrieve the 1 to 0 defeat at the hands of the Swedes on the last trip. Locke was chosen to pitch and will probably get a chance against Missouri this week.
The first game with Missouri will be played on McCook at four o'clock Friday afternoon. On Saturday afternoon, the second game will be played after the inter-class track meet. The team seems to be playing well together. The changes both in the in and out field seem to be for the better. So far, the team is not hitting up to the expected standard. Following are the batting averages:
A.B. Hts. Av.
Huff 15 7 466
Wood 27 10 370
Walker 25 7 280
Carlson 25 5 200

Hike "Does Up" Notestein.
Wallace Notestein, instructor in history in the University of Minnesota, went on a big "hike" a short time ago in company with three other university professors. None of them have recovered. Allin, an instructor in economics, fainted twice before the destination was reached. The others were completely done up. They say it is their first and last long "hike."
Freshman Girls Meeting.
An important meeting of all freshman girls of the University will be held on Friday at 11:15. Notice of the place of meeting will be posted.
CLASS MEET ON SATURDAY
CONTEST WILL BE BETWEEN JUNIORS AND FRESHMEN.
"K" Men Will Probably Take Many of the 15 Events. Le Moine May Not Run.
The annual interclass track and field meet will be held Saturday afternoon at 1:30 on McCook field. This year the meet promises to be more hotly contested than ever, with perhaps many "dark horses" yet under cover.
Last year the seniors won the cup, but this year the juniors and freshmen seem to be the real contenders for first honors. The first year team, however seem to be the favorite.
All entries must be in with Manager Lansdon by Thursday. Three men will be entered in each event, and two from each class will be allowed to start. There will be fifteen events counting the relay. First place will count five, second three third two, and fourth one. This scoring will give each team a chance for victory in spite of its lack of "K"men, who will probably take firsts in many events.
The freshmen will be weakened by the present illness of their captain, Le Moine, who is a crack two miler. Watson, his running mate, hopes to draw first in his absence.
The winning team will have its numerals and '09 engraved on the permanent cup which is kept in the trophy room.
Figures From Yale.
Statistics of this year's graduating class at Yale shows that 175 men use intoxicants as against 115 that abstain, whereas there are 185 addicted to the use of tobacco as against 96 abstainers. In respect to political persuasion, there are 201 Republicans, 56 Democrats, 16 Independents and 1 lone Prohibitionist.
Engineers Gave Smoker.
The engineers gave a smoker last night in the Dick Building. Light refreshments were served Prof.P.F.Walker spoke upon the student council and its relation to the engineering school. Prof.C.I.Corp and several students also responded to toasts.
Ward H. Cook has been unable to be on the hill this week on account of ill health.
UNIVERSITY CLUB CALLS MEETING
The committee of nine members of the faculty having in charge the matter of the University Club is now ready to report.
A meeting is called for Tuesday evening, April 20, in Fraser Hall, Room 15, at 7:30 o'clock. All persons of the faculty interested in this movement are urged to be present at this meeting.
W. H. CARRUTH, Chairman.
BURDICK STARS IN LAST GAME
The Jayhawkers bagged the second game with the Cornhuskers last Saturday by rolling up a score of 10 to 0. The playing of Nebraska was much like that of amateurs. Prouty started the twirling for them and at the end of the third he was driven from the diamond with four scores against him. Olmstead took his place in the fourth and was batted over the lot for six more runs.
Burdick's twirling was the big feature of the game. For six innings the visitors could not find him for a hit and bagged only two in the entire game. He struck out seven men.
In the fifth he pulled himself out of a dangerous hole with professional-like skill. With three men on bases, on a ball and two errors, with no outs, he fanned three successive men.
The star batting was pulled off by "Swede" Carlson with a home run. "Pete" Wood made two base hits.
MUSIC FESTIVAL ON MAY 6 AND 7
There willbe three concerts in the May Music Festival which is to be held on May sixth and seventh, this year. The first will be by Arthur Hartman, the violinist of worldwide fame. The second and third concerts are to be by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra with four singers. Miss Maude Cooke of the piano department will play a concerto with the orchstrra in the second concert.
The regular price for the course ticket is $2. but students may secure them for $1.50 at the check stand or treasurer's office with the understanding that not less than 200 are taken.

DON'T NEGLECT MUSICAL APPRECIATION.
The tickets for the annual May music festival are now on sale and every student in the University should buy one of them. An appreciation and a knowledge of first class vocal and instrumental music is a part of a liberal education. Some of the best musical talent to be obtained will play at the University on May sixth and seventh. This year the audience should be made up largely of students. Heretofore the people of the town have outnumbered the students at such entertainments. The student body should cultivate a taste for the best in everything and should at least let their interest in a great musical treat equal the interest of the down town citizens. A person does not have a well rounded education unless he can appreciate something higher than "rag time" in music.
The subscription party held last Saturday night advertised the fact that Harry Kelley of Kansas City would play. And the young promoters who engineered the financial end of the deal advertised aright. Harry Kelley played, and he played alone, without the dull blasts of the wind instruments or the screeching music of the stringed instruments to interrupt or color the melodious music of the piano. The two hundred dancers present should not be dissatisfied because Kelley's orchestra did not furnish the music. Piano music alone is better to dance to any way, and besides the geniuses who gave the party must have something for their efforts.
The Kansas base ball team took two games from Nebraska with comparative ease and it is now assured that the Jayhawkers will be lively contenders for the conference base ball championship. If Coach Ebright can only whip his men into a little better shape, make
their fielding a little surer and their hitting a little safer Kansas has a good chance to take a third championship in one year.
Kansas lost the Missouri debate in Columbia on Saturday night. Those Tigers can sure talk and run if they are not much force at other things.

KANSAS LOST TO MISSOURI
Once again the forensic artists from the University of Missouri turned the trick and by a unanimous decision walloped our debaters at Columbia last Saturday evening.
M. O. Locke and E. L. Overman represented this school, and according to the words of the judges, had the best of the argument but were unable to cope with the polished and oratorical speeches of the representatives of the "show me" state.
Prof. D. L. Thomas, of the English department, who accompanied the debaters, speaks in glowing terms of the showing made by our representatives and says that the unanimous decision of the judges does not in the least show the closeness of the contest.
"Even though we lost we have the consolation of knowing it was not because of the poor material that we sent to twist the Tigers' tail. Both Locke and Overman are experienced debaters and are a credit to our school."
Prof. Humble on Moving Pictures.
Professor H. W. Humble spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on the present day moving picture theater. He referred to the puppet shows of the past and of the dime museums which had been superseded causing many deserving freaks to be in reduced circumstances. He spoke of the method of preparing the films to show startling pictures and of the great length of the films now shown by some of the large machines. Professor Humble mentioned two of the evils charged against the shows. Some proprietors use a debasing class of pictures in competition with vaudeville theaters. Furthermore, poorly ventilated store rooms are often used for the exhibitions and disease is thereby spread.
On the other hand in addition to the element of amusement Professor Humble considers that many pictures have an educational value which might and should be considerably increased.

"CLEANLINESS NEXT TO GODLINESS"
Two new sets of shower baths are being made in the shops for use in the gymnasium. A unique idea of Miss Fish has been embodied in the new showers for the ladies. By means of a horizontal perforated tube which can be adjusted according to the person's height, the ladies can take shower baths without getting their heads wet.
A great improvement has also been made in the sixteen showers for the men which are to be installed this week. The old 'sprinklers" of sheet metal were not satisfactory. They elogged up with dirt and others bursted under increased pressure.

K. U. GETS OLD HAND-PRESS.
Was Given to Prof. Carruth by Hugh Cameron.
An old-fashioned Washington hand-press, rusty and partially dismantled but still bearing the heritage of an entertaining history, will be presented to the journalism school of the University as a starter for its curio collection.
It was the property of Hugh Cameron, who gave it to Professor Carruth. Since the old hermit's death the press has stood under an old log tepee at Cameron's Bluff. Professor Carruth intends to bring the press to Lawrence and present it to the school of Journalism.
The press was brought to Kansas when the slavery and anti-slavery agitation was at its height. Cameron was interested in newspaper work and published many pamphlets. Temperance, woman's suffrage and religion were the old man's hobbies and his old press ground out many tracts on these subjects.

ARE READY FOR TIGERS
THE JAYHAWKER BASEBALL COACH IS CONFIDENT.
Missouri Tomorrow and Saturday Only One Counts towards Championship.
Tomorrow and Saturday Kansas and Missouri meet for the first time this year on the baseball diamond. After the arrival of the Tiger team tomorrow it will be decided which one of the games will count in the championship series. According to a new ruling but two of the four games played with each school count toward the conference championship.
Coach Ebright is optimistic about the outcome of these two games. He is unable to figure where Missouri has any claim on them. He says that Capp, the pitcher that the Tiger manager is bringing along for the special benefit of the Jayhawker stick artists, is nothing out of the ordinary caliber. He has a plenty of speed, but then it's the speedy pitchers upon whom the Kansas sluggers fatten their batting averages.
Third base and short stop are the only perilous positions on the Jayhawker team. Huff at third is good but has not been under heavy enough fire to allow the coach to make an estimate of his playing. Palmer at short has been unsteady at times but the position is new to him. Nevertheless Ebright says the team will take two straight from the Tigers.
Both games will be called at four o'clock on account of the track meets which precede them.
SENIOR FARCE COMPLETED

A prize of a five dollar gold piece and membership to the Quill Club was offered to all the freshmen for the best prose article not to exceed fifteen hundred words. The Quill Club has awarded honorable mention to the following contestants: Beulah Murphy, Linden W. Green, Louis Lyon, Ray E.

The last interstate debate of the year will be held tomorrow evening, when the representatives of Oklahoma University will discuss the fifteenth amendment question with the Kansas men.
R. E. Butler and C. C. Merillat will represent Kansas in this debate. Both men have debated against Oklahoma before. The Jayhawker men have been active in debating work for several years, and the discussion of the negro question tomorrow night will be hotly contested.
So far this year, Kansas has broken even on the debating question, having lost to Missouri and won from Colorado. Oklahoma won the debate last year.
Lee's Barber Shop is a place for quick work. He has four competent men.
FRENCH PLAY
WII BE GIVEN ON SATURDAY
New Stage in Gym to Be Used. Scenery Has Not Yet Arrived.
The French play people held their first regular rehearsal on the Robinson gymnasium stage yesterday afternoon. They labored under considerable difficulties since sixty freshmen were running a five mile relay at the same time. The scenery that the University bought and that will be used for the first time in the French play has not yet arrived.
The play, "Le Point de Mire," is a comedy full of action and clever instances. The story deals with two mothers whose fond matrimonial ambitions lead them into laughable predidaments. They vie with each other in trying to capture a young millionaire for their respective daughters. Their husbands join in the conspiracy, and the pursuit grows hot. A young architect enters into the plot to complicate matters, and the tangle is finally unraveled by his marrying one of the daughters.
PLANS ARE COMPLETED
NEXT THING IS TO GET THE MONEY.
Faculty Club House Soon to Be Reality.—Expect to Build This Summer.
Tuesday night a meeting was held to discuss the plans for the University Club House. It was decided to build a $12,000 club house during the coming summer if the necessary funds can be raised. The club will be similar to those in other university towns and the requisite to membership is to be or to have been connected with some university.
Several available sites are being being considered and elaborate plans are being devised by the committee. There will probably be a cafe in connection with the club where the bachelor members of the club can eat.
Freshman Pan-Hellenic Party. The freshmen of the eight fraternities will give a party in Fraternal Aid Hall, Saturday night. Freshmen only will be present.

DON'T NEGLECT AN OP PORTUNITY.
The Kansas University section of the American Amalgamated Association of Knockers, combined with the Society of Gum Shoe Politicians, has come out in opposition to the student council movement. The sterling statesmen included in the above classifications have just made the startling discovery that the University is not ready for a student council. And in their mind the time for a council will never come until they get a chance to draw up the constitution according to their own ideas.
The size of the University, the wonderful possibilities of its future growth, and the strength to be gained from association render the argument that the time is not yet ripe for a student council invalid and ineffectual. A student council is needed, is absolutely necessary. And it is also within the very grasp of the students. The constitution should be adopted at the coming mass meeting even if all the points do not entirely suit all the students. The document can easily be amended at a future date when time is not so precious. Now, with only a few more weeks of school, a continued attempt at amendment may delay final action so long that the council cannot be organized this year. The thing to be done is to get a student council as soon as possible and to leave imperfections in the constitution to be rectified in the future.
It is a custom to say of everything that happens that it is "the best ever" in its line. But without any exaggeration the statement can be made that the Junior Prom this year will be the best prom, ever given at this University. Every single committee has worked hard and long on its part of the work and the biggest social event of the school year has been planned
on a scale not before undertaken. More money has been expended on the farce, on the decorations and on the supper than at former events of the kind. The Junior class should feel a keen sense of pride that they possess men in the class capable of planning and consummating the kind of a prom. that will take place on next Thursday night.
The plan of the faculty to erect a twelve thousand dollar club house for faculty members and down town alumni of universities and colleges is one of prime importance. The faculty should become more intimately acquainted and associated and should take measures to develop closer relations with the students who are just organizing themselves. A more binding union of all the university elements is one of the perquisites to the continued growth and broadening influence of the school.
Notice about Sophomore Prom.
Friday April 30 is the final day for handing in dates to the invitation committee for the sophomore prom. Milton Baer Chairman of the Committee said that he would not receive either a sophomore or a senior date after that time as the invitations are to be sent out May first.

GLEE CLUB ELECTS.
Edgar Ford Manager Again—Trip In Middle of May.
At a special meeting of the Glee Club, last night, Edgar Ford was re-elected manager for next year. Several matters of minor importance were brought before the club. Plans for next year's schedule were discussed although nothing definite was decided upon. A committee consisting of Professor C. Edward Hubach, John Power, and Edgar Ford was appointed to gather any material that might be of use and report the same to the club at the opening of school next fall. The club accepted invitations to give conerts at Gardner, Kansas, and Excelsior Springs, Missouri, on the nights of May 14 and 15 if suitable arrangements could be made with the managers at those places.
After expressing an appreciation for the services of both the director and manager of the club for this season the members adjourned to a restaurant where they were the guests of the manager.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
ADOPTES ONLY ONE SUGGESTED CHANGE
CHANGE.
Mass Meeting Next Tuesday at 4:30 to Consider the Report.
The Chancellor announced this morning in chapel that a mass meeting of the students would be called for 4:30 Monday afternoon. This conflicts with a previous arrangement, however, and the meeting will take place in the chapel on Tuesday afternoon at 4:30.
The Student Council committee met yesterday afternoon and carefully considered the amendments to the constitution suggested at the mass meeting Tuesday morning. The name of the organization was changed somewhat but in the other cases the committee did not feel that the document would be improved by the suggested amendments. In every case the committee was unanimous in its decision.
The projected plan of changing the date of election from spring to fall was rejected in committee because it was felt that the freshmen should be entitled to a vote and that they could not vote intelligently or choose a representative of their own until spring. The fact that the newly elected councils would have a chance to get started before the summer vacation preparatory to the future years work was another weighty consideration.
The eligibility rules were left as they were. A strong student sentiment inclined the committee to favor eligibility rules for candidates to the student council and it was felt that once elected the councilmen would have such a keen sense of duty and of dignity that they would not neglect their studies. The clause providing for five semesters residence for candidates for any of the three offices was also retained because the committee considered that any person with a shorter residence at the University would be disqualified to hold an office through inexperience, lack of acquaintanceship and undeveloped sense of the highest responsibility.
The other material suggested change was the reduction of the size of the petition required of officers. The committee could not see why any student would wish to compromise himself or his school by running for office unless he could secure seventy-five signers distributed among the five schools of the University. A person who could not secure so many backers in his nomination would have a sorry time in being elected, was the idea of the committee in retaining the provision.

UNIVERSITY PLANTING TREES
North Hollow Is to be Decorated with Many New Varieties.
The University has purchased a variety of trees which will be set out on the campus. The work is being supervised by Prof. Stevens of the botany department. Over one hundred oak trees will be planted northeast of Marvin Grove as far as the golf links and north of the Museum. A street row will be planted along the University property on Mississippi street.
In addition to these, yellow willows will be planted along the stream which runs through the golf links. Clumps of rosebud and flowering dogwood will also be set out. Two specimens of Burbank's hybred walnuts, which in California grow four times as large as the ordinary walnut trees, were received in the assignment. These trees are extremely valuable and are highly prized by the botany department.

NUMBER 81
JUNIORS WON
FRESHMEN WERE ONLY ONE POINT BEHIND.
Smith Broke and Martindell Tied McCook Broad Jump Record. Newbold tied Low Hurdle.
In the annual inter-class track meet this afternoon one McCook record was broken and two were tied. James Smith, a sophomore in the college, was the entry making the new record and his event was the broad jump. The distance was 21 feet, 8 inches, thus giving him a gain of two inches over the old record. "Happy" Martindell, a junior, tied the record in the same event by jumping 21 feet, 6 inches. The low hurdle record was tied by "Seedy" Newbold, who ran in 26:4, the time made by Toby, who has held the McCook record for a number of years.
Another great race was the hundred yard dash run in 10:1 by Haddock. Roberts, a freshman, came in with as close a second as he could make without tieing.
Good time was also made in the 220-yard dash. Haddock won in 23:2 and Martindell was a close second.
Kraus, a freshman, ran in great form in the half mile and crossed the line in 2:07 4-5. In the mile Clark won easily and ran a beautiful race making it in 4:50 2-5.
From the first the juniors seemed to have the meet won, but the freshmen fought hard for first honors and the final score shows that they stood a good chance to win. The sophomores made several firsts but could not bring their score up high enough to make a close showing for second place. The seniors entered men in every event but only a few of them took part and the class was left with a hopeless minority.
The final score of the meet was: Juniors, 57; Freshmen, 56; Sophomores, 33; Seniors, 12.
The events and results follow:
120 yard hurdles-Johnson, Jr., first; Martindell, Jr., second; Parker, Sr., third. Time, 16:4.
100 yard dash—Haddock, Jr., first; Roberts, Fr., second; Hamilton, So., third; McKinnon, Fr., fourth. Time, 10:1.
Mile run—Clark, So., first;
Cooley, Jr., second; Green, Fr.,
third; Berger, Fr., fourth.
Time, 4:50 2-5.
Quarter mile — Perrill, So., first; A. Smith, Fr., second; McKinnon, Fr., third; Walker, Jr., fourth. Time, 56:3.

JAYHAWKERS WON EASILY
IT WAS CONFERENCE CHAM-
PIONSHIP GAME TOO.
Tigers Were Unable To Connect with Harlan Curves.—Stone Easy After Third Inning.
On McCook field yesterday afternoon the Jayhawker baseball team defeated the Tiger team by a score of 5 to2. The teams played again this afternoon but the former game is the only one that counts in the Conference championship.
Harlan did the pitching for the Kansans and let the visitors down with four hits. Stone was the Tiger slab artist and allowed the Jayhawkers seven hits. For the first three innings he took Coach Ebrights pupils in one, two, three style but after that he weakened and the Kansas sluggers indulged in a bingle fest.
Things looked bad for the Jawhawkers in the first two innings. Blakely the first Tiger up swatted out a three bagger which coupled with an error by Huff gave the visitors their first score. In the second session Nee got a single, was advanced to second by Kline's sacrifice, and scored on a wild throw by Rockefeller attempting to cut him off when he stole third. This ended the Tiger scoring.
The Jayhawkers began their scoring in the fourth inning. Gibbs got to first on an error, stole second and was advanced to third on a wild throw to second. Walker got a two bagger scoring Gibbs. Huff got a single scoring Walker, and raced home himself on Wood's long fly to center field. In the seventh Haller got a single, was advanced to second by Palmer's grounder and scored on Rockefeller single. Harlan was next up and swatted out a two bagger scoring Rockefeller.

KANSAS WON
NEGRO QUESTION WAS ABLY DISCUSSED.
Butier and Merillat were Jayhawker Contestants.—Decision was Two to One.
By convincing the judges that the fifteenth amendment should be repealed, R. E. Butler and C.C. Merillat, representing he University of Kansas, won the annual debate with Oklahoma last night.
The negro problem was discussed in an able manner by both sides. The Jayhawkers, however, had the better of their opponents from the start. Their presentation was excellent; their arguments were presented in a clear forcible manner, and logically arranged. No important point of the question was left untouched by the Kansas men. Merillat in his rebuttal speech, made the most effective talk.
The Oklahoma men were inexperienced debaters and their speeches were not as well delivered as those of the Jayhawkers. However, they had an abundance of good facts and arguments. Joe Goodman and N. N. Raudolph represented Oklahoma.
The judges were Hon. T. J. Leahy of Pawhuska, Okla., Prof. R. H. Jordan, St. Joseph, Mo., and Judge J. Q. A. Norton, of Lawrence. The decision was two to one for Kansas.
Rupert Gets On.
Frank Rupert, Instructor in Chemistry, has accepted a fellowship in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for next year, to do research work in physical Chemistry. Mr. Rupert has been an instructor in Chemistry at the University since 1906. He received his master's degree here last year. He expects his work next year to count toward his doctor's degree.
Frank P MacLennan, '75, proprietor of the Topeka State Journal, was re-elected as a member of the advisory board of the central division of the Associated Press at its annual meeting in New York last Wednesday.

Gertrude Copley, who went to Leavenworth yesterday with the sociology classes, continued her trip to Kansas City, and will spend the week end at her home.

BURNED IN HOTEL FIRE
WALTER AND BEN SIPPY VICTIMS AT TOPEKA.
Former a Member of Last Year's Class—Latter in School This Year—Central Hotel Fire.
This morning at five o'clock Walter Sippy, '08, and his brother, Ben Sippy, a Junior Pharmic this year but who was in the College last year, were burned to death in the Central hotel of Topeka. Walter Sippy was at the University this year up to January 15 as head of the Kansas water analysis. On that date he left to accept a position with the Santa Fe in Topeka to analyze the water along the Santa Fe road bed.
Yesterday evening Ben went to Topeka to visit his brother until Sunday. Walter was soon to take a traveling position with the railroad and the brothers wished to visit each other before they became further separated.
This morning at about five o'clock the hotel caught fire from some defective electric wiring. The alarm was turned in late and four persons including the Sippys were burned to death. Eight others were injured.
Walter Sippy roomed in the suburbs of Topeka but as he had a roommate he was compelled to go to a hotel to provide accomodations for his brother. He chose the Central hotel in the 500 block on Kansas avenue in Topeka.
The two unfortunate brothers are from Belle Plaine, Kansas and a sister, Mildred, attended the University about four years ago. Ben Sippy was rooming this year at 1500 New Hampshire street.
Walter, the older brother, made a desperate effort to escape the flames but fell exhausted and overcome by the smoke at the head of the stairs. Ben was not even able to leave the room. The bodies of both young men were identified.
Visited Penitentary.
Professor Blackmar took his sociology classes to Lansing and Leavenworth yesterday. At Lansing the party was shown through the Kansas State Penitentiary. From here they went to the National Soldiers' Home. In the afternoon, Warden McClaughtry took the party through the new Federal Penitentiary near Leavenworth. There were seventy-two people in the party.
Miss Helen Finerty, who has been visiting here for the last week, returned to her home in Oklahoma City last night.

SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1909
The men of the University should not miss attending the mass meeting to be held on next Tuesday at 4:30 for the further consideration of the constitution of the Student Council. It is imperative that the constitution be adopted at once and that the council be elected and get down to work yet this spring. The students are nearer to obtaining a council than ever before and while the iron is hot they should strike. If the council is not established before school is out in June it will be as difficult to revive it as it was this year to get the idea started.
About the rawest deal that Jayhawker rooters have ever pulled off took place in yesterday's baseball game with Missouri. When one of the Tiger players slid into first and sprained his ankle the "roughnecks" in the bleachers mocked him and called him a "staller." The majority of the students deprecate such an unsportsmanlike action and, perhaps, in time the small, ever-decreasing, minority of those who hiss and mock at every opportunity will absorb some sense of propriety from the majority.
The debate last night was the best that has taken place in the chapel in the past three years at least. Each team was well balanced and presented their arguments in a smooth, forceful manner. The Oklahomaans were manifestly less experienced than the Jayhawker debaters but our honorable opponents to the south of us made up for their inexperience on the platform by the thoroughness of their arguments. The attitude of the audience was especially worthy of commendation.

Have outdone all their previous efforts this season and constructed some styles of hats that are creating a ripple of pleasure throughout dressy circles. The gray-blue effects in soft hats are making a wonderful hit, especially with the younger set, and we're having a big call for the new brown shades in derbies—they are unusually smart. Remember, we have the whole Imperial line best hats in the world for the money-

At Chapel Yesterday.
In the absence of H. C. Bowman, of Topeka, who was scheduled to speak in chapel Friday morning, Chancellor Strong called on the chapel speakers committee of the faculty to occupy the time. As chairman of the committee, Professor W. L. Burdick made an entertaining impromptu speech concerning the difficulties and aims of the committee in securing speakers for Tuesday and Friday mornings. He said that all speakers were distinctly informed that six minute talks were long enough for Tuesday and that the Friday morning addresses were to occupy only fifteen or twenty minutes. He explained that in addition to the instruction or pleasure of the students the selection of speakers for the Friday chapel exercises considered the value of making new friends and the coming in touch with old friends of the University. Professor J. N. Van der Vries, to whom Professor Burdick referred as the orator of the faculty, referred to himself as a "hoo-doo" and would say nothing more positive than to invite the students to the baseball game.
As a musical program had also been considered for the morning. Chancellor Strong called on Dean Skilton for an organ solo. The number was well received and an encore secured.
Carnegie Fund Secretary Here.
John G. Bowman, secretary of the Carnegie Foundation, is visiting the University today. The Foundation has to do with the pension fund for the advancement of teaching. He is being entertained by Chancellor Strong.

KATE STEPHENS
VISITING SISTER AND FRIENDS AT UNIVERSITY.
Was Greek Instructor in '78—Sees Changes in School-K. U. Is Place to Send Boy.
Miss Kate Stephens, 75, a writer and editor of books in New York City, is making an extended visit in the city with her sister, Mrs. J. W. Green, and other friends. For several years Miss Stephens was a member of the University of Kansas faculty. She was assistant instructor in Latin and Greek in 1878, and from 1879 to 1885 she had the chair of Greek which was created for her. Miss Stevens maintains an active interest in University affairs and in speaking to a Kansan reporter said:
"In the old, earlier days of the University things material were more meagre than they are now, but I can't see that you are ahead of us—of what we were in things spiritual. In fact I think the very opposite is true. Among us was a more generous idea of culture—study for knowledge, and wisdom, and a broad outlook on life, for literature, and art and history of our human kind-than I hear of now. Most of the K. U. students nowadays impress me as in pursuit of bread-studies alone—they seem to want to learn only what will help them gain a living, what they can turn into dollars and cents. In other things they seem to have little interest or sympathy. The old idea of leisurely study and reflection seems to have almost vanished. I see the practical value of present conditions. In speaking as I do I state a fact—and with regret for what impels the fact."
In reference to the agitation last year for a woman regent for the University, Miss Stephens said:
"Yes, I was one of the committee that worked last summer for the appointment of a woman regent. We failed apparently, not really. We planted seed for the future. The executive of the state, and a number of people in the state have not yet evolved to sympathy with the idea of the larger activities of women. In time they will grow up to it. It is all a question of evolution. The movement is world-wide and can no more be swept back by opposition than Mrs. Partington could sweep back the waves of the Atlantic. Arguments against it are more amusing than coqent.
"When in New York it has happened that I have been asked, 'What is the best college to send a boy to?' I always answer, 'The University of Kansas,' because it has most excellent professional schools and sound curricula, because it is democratic, and because its student men and women are energetic, self-reliant and wholesome."

SIGMA NU PARTY.
One of the prettiest formal parties for several seasons was given by the Sigma Nus last night at Fraternal Aid Hall. The hall was elaborately decorated with bunting, palms, colored lights and smilax. Hall's orchestra of Topeka, which furnished the music, was hidden from the dancers by a screen of smilax so arranged that it curtained the entire stage. In the center of this smilax curtain the illuminated Sigma Nu pin was suspended.

A section of the room was curtained off and decorated with red and blue bunting. The table was decorated with apple blossoms and place cards were painted with a spray of apple blossoms. A spread was given and along with it were toasts to Professor Griffith, to the Seniors and to the Freshmen. Miss Arta Briggs acted as toastmistress.

FRESHMAN GIRLS DECIDED IT YESTERDAY.
Will Lead the Simple Life Henceforth Same as Upper Class Girls
Only Eight Against It.
The "standard of living" which has been adopted by the Sophomore, Junior and Senior girls was adopted yesterday noon by a large majority of the Freshman girls. The faculty committee spoke to the girls and then left the meeting.
After discussing the rules, they were adopted by a big majority, only eight girls voting against them. Then a committee consisting of Anna Manley and Lucy March was elected to confer with the committees of the upperclasses. From these class committees, five girls are to be selected who shall, in connection with two woman members of the faculty to be appointed by the Chancellor, draw up a constitution for the government of the girls. A mass meeting of the University women will probably be held on May 7.
Another Fellowship.
Professor R. K. Duncan posted today the announcement of a new industrial fellowship to be offered to students in Industrial Chemistry by a large manufacturing firm in Kansas City. The exclusive purpose of the fellowship is to discover new utilities for Portland Cement and to improve its manufacture. The fellowship specifies that the holder shall devote all his time for two years to the work with the exception of three hours each week, which shall be given to teaching in the chemistry department. The amount of the scholarship is $1500 each year.
Prepared a New Hydroxide.
Frank Rupert, instructor in Chemistry, who has been working on ammonium solutions in the laboratory, has succeeded in preparing solid ammonium hydroxide, and also another hydrate of ammonia. The existence of this hydroxide has been suspected for a hundred years, and many unsuccessful attempts have been made to prepare it, on account of its melting point being 80 degrees below zero.
Chemical Club in K. C.
The Kansas City Section of the American Chemical Society has its monthly meeting tonight at the Grand Hotel in Kansas City, Kansas. Edgar L. Tague, a fellow in Industrial Chemistry, will talk on "Casein." Dr. S. J. Crumbine of the State Board of Health will speak on "The Adulteration of Milk." Professors Cady and Sayre will go to Kansas City today to attend the meeting.

PROM PLANS COMPLETED
GET YOUR TICKET AT ONCE OR NOT AT ALL.
Several New Features in Farce. Be Careful About Advance Programs.
The Junior Prom. is now only two days off and arrangements are perfected for the mammoth social function. The prom. is proving such a success this year that the management fears that the plans will have to be enlarged at the last minute to accommodate the numerous guests. In order that all who wish to attend the function may be well provided for, the committees have decided that all fees and dates must be in by Wednesday night.
Those who have paid their fees and received receipts or certificates must exchange their papers for a ticket. Tickets alone will entitle an admission and the tickets are obtainable from Ed Banker, class treasurer, alone. The night of the prom, not even the cold cash will buy an admission. Tomorrow morning at chapel time and tomorrow evening from 3:30 until 4:00 persons wishing to pay their fees may do so at the check stand. Isabel Barton; Fern Cramer, Martha Stough, Spotts, Markham, Baumgartner, Pohlman, Harman and Banker make up the finance committee and any one of them will accept fees.
The caste for the farce is practicing nightly and several new stunts are to be sprung during the play. Those who know declare that the between act specialty this year will be one of the keenest stunts ever pulled off at the University and the farce is said to bristle with jokes on prominent University people.
DR. LAFLAMME
Several people are making out their programs for the prom. Carl Eddy, one of the managers, this morning said: "Some of the people who are making out their dance programs ahead of time are going to get into serious complications. Every couple will have to go to supper at the time their program calls for and sergeants will enforce this rule strictly. Those who are not at supper between the dances their program states will not get any supper.
SPOKE OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN INDIA
Entertained by Y. M. C. A.-Gave Special Talks During His Three Days Stay.
Dr. H. F. LaFlamme, International Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement,went to Topeka Tuesday after spending three days at the University during which he spoke several times to small groups of students. At the reception in Myers Hall on Saturday evening he spoke informally of the wrongs of women in India. On Sunday afternoon he spoke to the men on the great immorality of the Hindoo religion. At a later hour he discussed methods of missionary activity with the missionary committees of the Y.M. and Y.W.C.A. He also spoke at the Christian church Sunday morning and at the young people's meeting at the Presbyterian church in the evening.
Besides speaking to a class of Medics on Monday, Dr. La Flamme spoke in the chapel at 4:30 on "Social Conditions of India." In speaking of the British administration of India he said that it is the best on earth in efficiency; it might be criticized for some things but on the whole gives many positive indications of its great value to the natives. In speaking of their great poverty Dr. La Flamme said that it was caused in the last analysis by a lack of character which could only be overcome by the religion of Christ. He spoke of the indiscribably unsanitary condition of Indian villages with the natural result of fearful ravages of loathesome diseases and an appalling death rate. The great illiteracy of the people may be inferred from the fact that four fifths of the villages have no schools. The moral condition of the people must necessarily be very low from the thoroughly immoral characteristics which they ascribe to their gods.
For Girls Rules.
The girls appointed from the various classes met Monday afternoon and appointed Nadia Thomas, Martha Stough, Maybeth Parker, Lucy Wright, and Kate Hart to confer with a committee from the faculty which will be announced by the Chancellor at some future date.
FELLOWSHIP FROM STUBBS
GIVES 1000 DOLLARS FOR RESEARCH WORK.
Chemist Will Not be Selected Until More Money is Raised—May
Help Grenfell's Cause.
One thousand dollars from the Governor of Kansas is the latest measure of his interest in the University. Yesterday Gov. W. R. Stubbs sent a check for Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan to use in industrial chemistry work. A biological-chemical fellowship to be known as the "Walter Roscoe Stubbs Fellowship" is to be established for two years for the purpose of investigating the ductless glands of diving organisms, especially the whales of the Labrador coast.
The visit of Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell to the University started this idea with Professor Duncan. Dr. Grenfell has entered into the plans, and will assist the chemist here by getting suparenal and thyroid glands out of the whales caught in the Labrador waters and sending them to the University of Kansas.
Any discovery of an industrial nature under this fellowship will go to the benefit of Dr. Grenfell's work among the deep sea fishermen. The benefaction, however, has nothing whatever to do with the Grenfell Association and is merely a personal gift to Professor Duncan by the Governor.
In order to obtain the services of a man fitted for research work of this order, the fellowship should yield $1500 a year. Consequently the money will be held in charge by the University until it has increased, or until more is added to enlarge the present benefaction to the desired amount.
Hanna Is Married.
Word has been received that Dallas Hanna, a senior in the college, has been married in Austin, Texas to Miss Elizabeth Farquhar of that city. Hanna is connected with the zoological department of the University and became acquainted with his bride on his zoological trip to the Gulf last summer.
Louise Leonard, a senior in the college has been spending a few days in Kansas City.
HIGH SCHOOLS
WILL HOLD TRACK MEET ON McCOOK SATURDAY.
150 Entries, a Dozen Loving Cups and More Than Fifty Medals to be Awarded.
The annual interscholastic track and field meet will be held on McCook field, Saturday afternoon. This year promises to be even more successful than ever as the popularity of this state meet is growing steadily. The teams will be divided, as usual, into four classes: A1, A2, B and C. The high schools are divided this way in order to place the smaller schools in a line for winning places.
Manager Lansdon has announced that at least thirty teams will compete. From these teams 150 men will be entered. Fourteen track and field events will compose the days' program. A silver loving cup will be given to each man who breaks a record.
In the meet the following prizes will be awarded: Eighteen gold medals for first places, eighteen silver medals for second places, eighteen bronze medals for third places. Four silver loving cups will be given for relay races, four for teams scoring the highest number of points in each of the four classes, and four to the individual competitors scoring the highest number of points in each of the four classes.
COSTON WILL SPEAK.
Will Tell of Alaskan Country on May 4.
Mr. Coston, father of Fred Coston who graduated from the University last year, is spending some time here. Mr. Coston, formerly of Ft. Scott, has lived in Nome, Alaska for the past seven years. He went to Washington last fall on official business and is waiting for the summer boats to start for Alaska. Mr. Coston said, "We live quite as comfortably as we did in the states although not as luxuriously. For example we don't eat many eggs in the winter for they cost $3.00 a dozen."
Mr. Coston has consented to talk to the students of the University about the northern country on May 4 in chapel at 4:30.
Don't Forget you absolutely WILL NOT be admitted to the Junior Prom. without
a ticket. Therefore to save being placed in an embarrassing position. see Ed Banker at once in regard to exchanging your Receipts and Certificates at Check Stand at Chapel time and at 3:30.

ANOTHER WHIM OFFATE.
Again one of the vagaries of fate that must, it seems, occur every so often in every community, has laid low two who were intimately connected with the University. The death of Walter and Ben Sippy was particularly tragic and astonishing, and it is still difficult to believe that those who on Friday night were so hale and so happy on the next morning were rendered back to the unimpressionable dust which is the ultimate end of the bodies of all. The relatives and the close friends of the unfortunate young men should be consoled in their sorrow by memories of the past and by the fact that when living the Sippy boys were always honest, conscientious and esteemed and loved by those who knew them. The only earthly traces of departed humans are the tender memories left in the minds of men and the meaningless shafts that mark their final place of repose. And it is safe to say that Walter and Ben Sippy in life conducted themselves in such a way that in death the memory of them will be a tender source of inspiration and of sweet fancy to their friends.
The athletic board election is to be held tomorrow and still there are no candidates in the field. There is a well confirmed rumor that two rivals camps of politicans have tickets in the field but they were not intended to be sprung until the last minute. The politicians of the stealthy tread evidently want their acts hidden under a bushel until the time is so short that the finger of suspicion will not have time to single out them and their acts,

KANSAS TENNIS TEAM OPENS SEASON THURSDAY.
Manager Bigelow Is Arranging for Games with Oklahoma, Missouri, and Nebraska.
The University tennis team composed of Watson, Farnsworth, and probably one other man will play the team from St. Marys College on the McCook courts next Thursday morning. This will be the first 'Varsity match of the season. Spiece, who will play one of the singles for St. Marys has a reputation for being a fast man with the racquet. He held the championship of Oklahoma two years ago.
Watson, who will play against him is the champion of the University having finished the tryouts last fall without losing a single match. The probable third man will be chosen by a tryout tomorrow.
Howard Bigelow, manager of the University squad has arranged to play Baker on May 17th and Nebraska on the 28th and 29th on McCook and is trying to get Missouri here for the 14th.
A trip has also been scheduled for May 18th to the 26th, when the team will play Oklahoma University, Oklahoma City, Fairmount College, Winfield, Kansas State Normal, and the college of Emporia.
A meeting will be held in Room 11, Fraser Hall, tomorrow at 12:15 for all tennis players of the University to complete arrangements for an inter-class tournament. The plan at present is to play without respect to classes until only five players are left when they will play with the 'Varsity team with respect to classes and the result of the tournament finally ended.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 29, 1909
NUMBER 83
CONSTITUTION IS ADOPTED
SEVERAL PETITIONS ALREADY SIGNED UP.
A Resolution Passed by Committee to Conciliate the Laws- Success Assured.
At the mass meeting of men held last Tuesday afternoon the constitution was adopted practically as it was first submitted by a decided majority. It was also voted that the election take place as provided in the constitution and so the election will be held on May 6.
The school of law was radically opposed to the clause making only five semester men eligible to hold the council offices and yesterday morning in a law mass meeting it was decided that the law school would not come into the council unless the discriminations against it were removed. Yesterday afternoon the constitutional committee met and drew up the following resolution which will perhaps greatly conciliate the law students:
In order that the student council may be a success from the very first and that all the male students of the University may be satisfied and conciliated the temporary constitutional committee, after careful and considerate discussion of the petition of the law school, hereby does all that it has the power to do towards satisfying the law students and issues the following resolution:
Resolved: That the temporary constitutional committee recommend to the student council, as soon as it may be elected, that notice of a mass meeting be posted for the purpose of considering the following amendment: That any eligible man in the University may be a candidate for an office on the student council who has been in school three semesters.
All petitions must be handed in by six o'clock tomorrow evening. The election committee is: Paul Harvey, chairman; Burton Sears, George March, R. O. Douglas, Dwight Hulburd, Arthur Hale, Carl Pleasant, Tom Gowenlock, Roy Burdick, and John Dassler and any of them will take petitions tomorrow. Petitions may be left at The Kansan office tomorrow afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock.
Several petitions have already been signed up. Tom Lee, Leo Bozell, Roy Dietrich, Earl Woodward, Ed Cooley and John Harbeson of the college have friends circulating petitions for them. Among the engineers Dan Nevinger, Clarence Loreditsch and Horace Hollingsworth have petitions circulating in their name and E. T. Gibson it is understood is to run for the council in the medical school. The laws and the pharmics as yet have circulated no petitions. Several other candidates will run in all the schools.
REGENTS MET
MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED AT REGULAR MEETING.
An Oil Portrait of the late Chancellor Snow Presented to the University.
At the meeting of the board of regents last Tuesday, the course in municipal Sanitary Engineering, which was recommended by the engineering faculty was approved.
A vote of thanks was given to H. T. Martin who presented the University with a collection of valuable fossil shells from Patagonia. They will be placed in the paleontological department.
Mrs. Frances Snow presented to the University an oil portrait of the late Chancellor Snow. The picture will be hung in the library until the new administration building is completed. Then it will be placed in the meeting room of the faculty together with portraits of all the chancellors of the University.
The degree of bachelor of science was conferred upon Allan Dodge of the class of 1908. J.H. Evans was appointed janitor of the Chemistry building. E.F. Hinchman was given the position of university carpenter and Lloyd Hoover was appointed clerk in the secretary's office.
The new engineering building was conditionally accepted by the regents.
---
Elect Lady and Lord.
The senior class met today noon and elected Miss Nola Ayres as lady for the May Fete and Archie Naramore as lord. The class decided to wear caps and gowns two weeks before Commencement this year and also recommended that the faculty wear caps and gowns.
For the offices R. L. Douglas has petitions signed for president but he will not run unless tde laws agree to back him. Edward Baumg rtner is out for vice-president and George Neal for secretary.
BIG MEET SATURDAY
TWENTY-FOUR SCHOOLS EN-
TER HUNDRED FIFTY MEN.
Many Events for Athletes in the Different Classes-A Great Contest.
Already the Kansas high school athletes are arriving and commencing "limbering up" processes in preparation for the annual inter-scholastic track and field meet to be held on McCook field Saturday afternoon.
Twenty-four high schools have entered. These entries represent all parts of the state with the exception of the southeastern part. Ft. Scott, Coffeyville, Parsons and Pittsburg failed to enter teams due to the lack of good material. Three of the entries represent counties in which several schools are located.
The mile and half mile runs should be more closely contested than any other event. In both of these the competitors will be separated into two equal groups without reference to class and two sets of trophies will be awarded.
The events will be run off in the following order: 120 yard hurdles, trial heats; 100 yard dash, trial heats; four lap relay, class AA; one mile run, first race; 440 yard run, class C; 440, class B; 100 yard dash, semifinals; 440 yard run, class A; 440, class AA; one mile run, second race; 120 yard hurdles, finals; four lap relay, class B; 220 yard hurdles, trial heats; 880 yard run, first race; 220 yard dash, trial heats; 220 yard hurdles, finals; 880 yard run, second race; 220 yard dash, finals; four lay relay, class A.
Field events: Pole vault, Discus, Running High Jump, Putting 12 lb. shot, Running Broad Jump, Throwing 12 lb. hammer.
The entries are: Lawrence, Humboldt, Garnett, Atchison, Dickinson County, Wichita, Lecompton, Emporia. Perry, Greenleaf, Burlingame, Wellington, Topeka, Hutchinson, Arkansas City, Rosedale, Leavenworth, Overbrook, St. Johns, Kansas City, Kas., South Kansas Academy of Emporia, and county teams from Allen, Wabaunsee, and Marion counties.
Frank Snow presented to the zoology department this week a collection of lizards and snakes collected during his hunting trip to South Africa in 1904.
FRENCH PLAY
WAS GIVEN LAST SATURDAY NIGHT IN GYMNASIUM.
Caste Good and Parts Were Well Rendered Throughout—New Scenery Used.
The presentation of "Le Point de Mire" by the French department last Saturday night, on the Robinson Gymnasium stage began the movement for putting all dramatic work on a strictly University basis. The play was the most elaborate affair ever undertaken by the department, and a large audience appreciated it thoroughly.
The scenery arrived at the last moment, but its artistic effectiveness made up for all worry over its delay. Before this the department has had to put up with only one set of scenery, but this year there were two parlor sets alone. The last act, a conservatory scene with real flowers was exceptionally beautiful.
The department was especially indebted to Professor Raymond, for he attended to the setting up of all the scenery.
Willard Wattles, as the old attorney from the country, interpreted his part well and showed especial ability in facial expression.
T. K. Whipple, as Carbonel, carried off the part of a retired gentleman very creditably. Edna Hopkins, as his wife, made her third appearance in the annual French play. Miss Hopkins has exceptional dramatic ability and, as usual, played her part well. Gale Gossett, as their daughter, was bewitchingly beautiful and carried her lines in admirable fashion.
Madame Perugin was well portrayed by Margaret Sheldon, and her dramatic work was strong. Quay Barnett also deserves special comment for his interpretation of the part of the young architect. Martin Brook's French was especially good, and his acting was firstclass. Hazel Leslie, as the daughter of the Perugins, showed that she took naturally to dramatic work, and was perfectly at ease on the stage.
ST. MARYS WON A SLOW GAME
Kansas lost today's game with St. Marys by the score of 4 to 1. The pitching of Green, of St. Mary's, and the "bonehead" playing of some of the Kansans is responsible for the Jayhawkers defeat.

CONCILIATION FOR THE LAW STUDENTS
The men of the University should not censure the action of the law school too much for withdrawing from all participation in the student council. The law students undoubtedly thought they had just cause for grievance and perhaps they were right in their contention. Now however with the constitutional committee recommending a mass meeting for the adoption of an amendment to the constitution making all three semester students eligible to hold office on the student council the laws should be conciliated. This was really their only legitimate contention because the other propositions they stood for concerned them no more than it did the men of the other schools. At the mass meeting to be called as soon as the council is elected the amendment will and should be adopted. And in the mean time the laws, who have some of the strongest men in the University with them, should proceed to elect good, strong men. The laws can be a power in the student council and with just a little patience they can get what they most earnestly desire. There is absolutely no reason for friction and quibbling between the different schools; and the student council will not be a decided force until all petty bickerings are swamped in the greater University idea.
The high school meet on Saturday will bring over four hundred high school students to the University for a day. From these young men and women the school will draw largely for next year's freshman class. The county clubs, the fraternities and the boarding clubs should see that every high school visitor is entertained royally and made to take an interest in the institution. The winners in the different events must be cheered and encouraged and induced to come to Kansas and strengthen the track team here.
The men of one organization on the hill had their picture taken for the annual while wearing large black K's. The organization is a closed corporation and were never granted the K's. If the emblem given athletes for work on gridiron, field and track is to amount to anything promiscuous wearing of the "K" must be censured.
The Lawrence liverymen have been praying that it would rain tonight with so much persistence that it is said their knees are sore.

Hanna Not a Benedict.
Dallas Hanna was more surprised than any of his friends to learn in reading in last Tuesday's Kansan that he had taken unto himself a bride. Hanna had been on a little trip to Kansas City and Southeastern Kansas and returned to Lawrence yesterday morning. One of his friends framed up the practical joke and had the announcement put in The Kansan. It is deplorable that such an embarrassing error should creep into the columns of a paper.
Chemistry Class in Kansas City.
Professor E. H. S. Bailey took his class in Food Chemistry to Kansas City yesterday to visit the food departments in various factories. Among other places the class visited Peet Bros.' Soap factory, LooseWiles Cracker and Candy factory, and the Smith Baking Co. At the Swift Packing plant the butterine, canned meats and sausage departments were examined. At most of these establishments University of Kansas men are employed as chemists. This trip was part of the laboratory work in Food Chemistry.

Professor Rice at Chapel.
Prof. H. A. Rice spoke in chapel this morning on "Portland Cement," the manufacture of which has so largely increased in recent years that 37,000,000 barrels were produced in 1907. Combined with sand and broken stone in proper proportions it makes the concrete which is used in constructing modern fire-proof buildings. Large amounts of concrete will also be used in the construction of the Panama Canal. Professor Rice outlined the process whereby limestone and clay shale were crushed, mixed together, burned to clinker, and finally reground to produce the cement. One of the most difficult parts of the process to get properly accomplished is the fusing of the materials in the kiln at a high temperature. Professor Rice read a rhyme entitled "Breakfast in the Mill" as a recapitulation of the steps in the manufacture of Portland cement.
Miss Bess Osborn of Lyons is the guest of Ina Wolf, freshman in the college.
Then and Now
YESTERDAY the small tailor toiled, cross-legged in a narrow shop, minus fresh air, congenial surroundings, proper tools and any pretense at system.
Today the small tailor is vanishing with the stagecoach because immense shops flooded with air, equipped with electricity and regulated by marvelous system and science have elbowed him aside.
"Sampeck" Clothes for Boys and Young Men unite the old-fashioned ideals of yesterday with the modern ideas of the master tailor of today.
Remember the name "Sampeck." It stands for the most wearful fabrics, correctest style and finest craftmanship of the greatest tailoring organization in America.

Miss Mossler To Journalists.
Miss Sadie Mossler,managing editor of the Lawrence Daily Journal, spoke to the classes in journalism yesterday morning. The talk was informal and one of the cleverest that has been given this year. The speaker took for her subject the getting of news and the giving of it to the public. She said that it was a great deal easier to get the news than to write it in a manner which would please all the readers. She then told about keeping confidences and the duty of the reporter to his paper and to its subscribers, and finally outlined the work of "cub" reporter on a country paper as well as her own work on the Journal.

SHAFFER=BARTELDES.
At six-thirty yesterday evening in the First Presbyterian church of Lawrence,Mr. Otto A.Barteldes and Miss Helen Barbara Shaffer were married. Both of the contracting parties are old University students, as are most of the bridesmaids and ushers.
Reverend Mr. Wells performed the ceremony. Miss Helen Sparr, a cousin of the bride, acted as maid of honor and Mr. Friedo Barteldes, brother to the groom, was best man. The bridesmaids were Misses Alwine Wilhelmi, Olgo Barteldes, Mary Clarke. Mabel Barber, Alice Sinclair, and Miss Shaffer, the bride's sister. The ushers were Messrs F. Ragland Cowles, William Griesa, Frank Bangs, Hyden Eaton, George March and Frank Shaffer.
After the ceremony the bridal party went to the home of Charles W. Sparr, at 1411 Tennessee street, where a reception was given the newly married people.
Miss Helen Shaffer has for a number of years made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sparr. She attended the University during the year of '05-06 and was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.
Mr. Otto Barteldes is a son of F. W. Barteldes of this city. He graduated from the University last year. He was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and also a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He is connected with his father's seed house business.
Mr. and Mrs. Otto Barteldes will live in Denver until after the first of August, after which time they will live in Lawrence. They left on the Santa Fe at 10:10 last night. A party of Thetas and Phi Delts helped the people on the train with a profuse shower of rice, corn meal and old shoes.
It is time for cap and gown pictures.—Squires.
TO PROTECT BIRDS.
Nests to be Built for the Winged Occupants of the Campus.
The University is making an effort to get more birds to nest on the campus. The latest plan is to build scientifically safe and suitable nests for the bluebirds. The blue-bird is one of the best birds, but it has so many enemies in the form of rats, snakes and other animals that about only one in four live.
Professor W. C. Stevens is having some nests made after a plan by the son of John Borroughs, the famous naturalist. The plan calls for the placing of an inverted pan below the hollow place in the tree in which the bird is supposed to nest. This contrivance is designed to tnrn all enemies. The interesting feature will be to see if the birds will use the nests that are provided for them.
Don't make a mistake. Squires and no other for your picture.
