GREAT HIGH SCHOOL MEET
TWO HIGH SCHOOL RECORDS BROKEN AND TWO TIED.
---
Meet Good Despite Cold Weather Many Trophies Presented to Winners on McCook.
This afternoon, despite the cold weather, a fair sized crowd witnessed one of the best interscholastic track and field meets that has ever been held on McCook field. High school students were entered from all parts of the state and the meet was enthusiastic from start to finish. Each man winning first place in any event was given an appropriate gold fob, those winning seconds a similar one of silver and the thirds one of bronze. Besides these trophies, breakers of McCook high school records, high individual point winners and the teams making the greatest number of points in their respective classes were presented with beautiful silver loving cups.
The special features of the meet were the twelve pound hammer throw and the discus throw, both of which broke the McCook high school records, and the hundred yard dash and the half mile run which tied the McCook record.
The Kansan went to press before the final results were announced.
The results of events follow:
100 yd. dash—Lanyon of Pittsburg, first; Henline of St.
Johns, second; Gould of St.
Johns, third; Perril of Dickinson County, fourth. Time :10-2.
The results of events follow:
High hurdles—Martin of Lawrence, first; Jones of Lawrence, second; Stewart of Overbrook, third; Hannum of Emporia, fourth. Time :17-1.

MANY PETITIONS
TWENTY WANT PLACES ON FIRST STUDENT COUNCIL.

Yesterday evening the time limit for handing in petitions for officers and representatives to the student council was reached. The college, engineering school and medical school circulated petitions for representatives and in all twenty men are seeking the thirteen places to be filled in the three schools. Don Nevinger, a senior engineer, is the only candidate for president; Ed Baumgartner, a freshman medic and a junior college man wants to be vice-president of the organization and George Neal, a junior engineer, is the only man in the race for secretary.

A BRILLIANT JUNIOR PROM
THIS YEAR'S PARTY ECLIPSED ALL PREVIOUS ONES.
Over 600 Guests Were Present Lighting and Decorative Features Were Elaborate.
A degree of elaborateness and lavishness never before reached in junior proms was attained last Thursday evening when the class of 1910 entertained the seniors at the annual junior promenade. The number of guests was larger than ever before, and Robinson Gymnasium was taxed to its utmost capacity to contain them. With more than 600 people in the grand march the line extended three times around the hall and had to be handled carefully to make room for the various evolutions.
The decorative features at this year's prom were more numerous and on a more elaborate scale than has ever before been attempted. Hundreds of pennants suspended from the balcony gave a wonderfully ornamental effect to the hall. The lighting effects were put in place and managed by M. D. Leslie. Colored lights shed a soft light over the floor, while three spot-lights cast kaleidoscopic colors over the dancing couples. The most striking feature ever seen at a University party was the panoramic view of the University buildings extending around the edge of the balcony. The buildings had been cut out in outline with remarkable fidelity and when the lights were turned on behind them all the edifices of Mount Oread, stood out in sihouette.
The farce was a musical comedy of which the scene was laid in Hades at the Jayhawk club with Charon, late of the Styx ferry, as janitor. The farce dealt with various student and faculty "cases" at the University who were sojourning at the club. Milton Cain as Charon, Miss Alberta Cresswell as the Merry Widow, and Miss Gail Sutton as Carrie Nation, had the leading parts. Between the two acts of the farce, in keeping with its theme, snap shots of

A DIFFERENCE WITH GOOD RESULTS.
The first election of school representatives to the student council to be held next Thursday is to be a success. The engineering school, the college and the medical school have many nominations in and there is sure to be a lively scramble for the places and a notly contested election. The council once started is bound to prove a success and by abolishing the residence qualifications of council officers the law school will be conciliated and will doubtless elect representatives. The present attitude of the law school towards the council has resulted in all University students taking a livelier interest in the idea and more discussion is going on right now than ever before. The small, temporary breach between the schools has done more good than students realize and in a couple of weeks when the discriminations against the laws are removed the different schools will fall on each other's necks and enter into a fellowship and brotherhood tempered and made more firm by the recent slight differences.
The Junior prom this year was, as predicted, the best affair of its kind ever given at the University. The service, the farce, the lighting effects, the music and the supper excelled former attempts and the only objection to the mammoth formal function was that it was too successful. The crowd was too large to insure comfortable dancing. After this, if interest in the prom persists, measures will have to be taken to keep the attendance within bounds in order to insure perfect service and perfect social conditions.
The Jayhawkers are able to put up a pretty fair article of baseball against the Conference teams, but against the smaller state colleges the brand of ball they put up is of the very shady
variety. The team this year will finally make a good one, everyone believes, and Kansas has an excellent chance to get another Conference championship. The team will gradually grow steadier and the outlook is not at all discouraging.
People from all over this section of Kansas appreciate and attend the May Music Festival. The students of the University themselves have heretofore not been sufficiently interested in the big affair. This year the best talent obtainable in the United States will be here and the students cannot afford to miss such a rare treat.

GREAT PLAYERS
MAY FESTIVAL WILL HAVE TWO NOTED VIOLINISTS.
Czerwonky from Europe and Hartman from New York Will Play Both Solo and Concert Music.
One of the most noted men who comes for the May music festival is Richard Czerwonky one of the leading orchestral violinists of this country and concert manager of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the finest in the world. Mr. Czerwonky comes from Europe where he received the greater part of his musical education. It is there that he is best known, having played not only in the best orchestras but also having done solo work. He has received two famous prizes for composition work one of them being the Mendelssohn in Berlin. While here he will play both orchestral and solo compositions. Another leading violinist of this country, who will be here at the same time, is Professor Hartman.
It was announced this morning that students of the University who wish to obtain tickets for the May festival for their out of town friends should call at the Registrar's office or the check stand as soon as possible. More student tickets are now in circulation in the University than ever before for the annual festival.
Spoke at Y. M. C. A. Meeting.
Professor F. E. Ward, superintendent of Fowler Shops spoke at Y.M.C.A.meeting Thursday evening upon the value of good influence quietly exerted among men as seen by him in his work in the steel works of Joliet, Ill. and later for the Corliss engine manufacturing company. In comparison with men who are mere parasites or even those who see little in life but the daily wage Professor Ward contrasted the men in all branches of work who seek to win others to righteousness by their own example and influence.
Change in Debating Team.
Clinton Kanaga has withdrawn from the Sophomore debating team and Moe Friedman, of the Law school, has been selected to take his place. The annual talkfest with the Freshmen will take place on Friday night, May 8. Both teams are composed of experienced debaters and a good contest is expected.
EXPERIMENTS WITH TREES.
Two Varieties of Walnut Trees Tested by Botany Department.
The Botany department is making some interesting experiments with two hybrid walnut trees that have been secured from Burbank species. The two specimens are yearling crosses between the California and the common black walnut, and the English walnut with the common black.
These new varieties grow four times as fast as the old stock, giving merchantable lumber in ten years and trees one hundred feet tall in fifteen years. It has been demonstrated that the lumber is equally fine grained and yields the same polish.
The experiments at present are to see if the hybrids can stand Kansas winters. If they survive, a movement will be begun immediately to have the trees planted all over the State. The common black walnut thrives especially well in eastern Kansas, and the new species is expected to do as well.
Honorable Mention Given.
Heim Goldman and LeRoy Cannon, both members of the senior law class, received honorable mention for the papers they wrote competing for a prize of fifty dollars offered by the Lake Mohonk Conference on International Arbitration for the best essay on "International Arbitration." The prize was awarded to a Johns Hopkins man.
Inspecting Kansas City Trees.
Professor P. A. Glenn and W. J. Griesa went to Kansas City this morning to spend a couple of days in that vicinity including Argentine and Rosedale in an inspection of trees for San Jose scale. This work is in connection with the state entomological survey.
Homer Berger and Waldine Williams went to Kansas City yesterday to attend the Delta Kappa Theta party which was given last night.
O. C. Hull, a senior in the College from Potwin, Kansas has been pledged Acacia.
The Pi Phis will celebrate their Founder's Day tomorrow night by an informal party at the chapter house.

"K" FOR TENNIS
PATTERN HAS BEEN DECIDED UPON.
Eaton, Pierson, Weaverling and Watson, Last Year's Team, Get Letters
Since last spring the athletic management of the University has been working on a design for a "K" to be presented to certain of the tennis players. The pattern for the letter is now almost ready and the distribution to those who have earned their honors in this branch of athletics will take place soon. A rough draft of a pattern for a novel "K" was given to Carl Pleasant a short time ago and he has drafted a permanent pattern. The letter is plain but novel each of the four points being rounded out so as to be shaped like a tennis racquet.
The University has adopted a ruling that a player must win at least one event in an inter-state meet in order to claim his "K." Last year four men were fortunate enough to meet this requirement and are entitled to receive the letter. Of those four three are out of school and one still here. The former are Hyden Eaton, J. V. Pierson and Ralph Weaverling and the latter one is Dolph Watson. The "Ks" will be sent to these three and presented to the one as soon as completed.
Thus far this year no player has won his letter as no interstate tournament has been played, but with the long schedule and the excellent material several have a chance to win one before the season closes.
Besides the regular 'Varsity games this spring an inter-class meet will be held beginning the latter part of this week. This tournament will be played down to five men when these five men will meet members of the 'Varsity squad for the finals.
Miss Lois Harger, Bruce Hurd, Leo Sanders and Paul Jolley, of Abilene, are visiting at Professor M. W. Sterling's.

TWO RECORDS WERE BROKEN
JAYHAWKERS BEAT FARMERS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
Martindell now has Broad Jump Record and Winter High Mark in the Discus.
Two University records were broken in the Kansas-K. S.A. C. track and field meet held on McCook field yesterday afternoon. "Happy" Martindell broke the broad jump record of twenty one feet, eight inches made by Jim Smith in the interclass meet, by jumping twenty-one feet nine inches.
Winter hurled the discus 114 feet, 9 inches, breaking the record for. that event made by Drake in 1907 with a throw of 114 feet,3 inches.
One of the best races of the meet was the half mile in which Badger in a wonderful finish threw himself over the line, a winner by a few inches.
Christian, the speedy K. S. A.
C. man, was the highest individual point winner with 13 points.
Smith of K. U. was second with 11 points. The final score was:
K. U. $ 8 1 \frac{1}{2} $; K. S. A. C. $ 3 5 \frac{1}{2}. $
The results of the events are: High Hurdles—Johnson, K. U., first; Hamilton, K. U., second. Time :17:2.
100 yd. dash—Christian, K. S.
A. C., first; Haddock, K. U,

TWO GAMES
PLAY WASHINGTON TOMORROW AND THURSDAY.
Several Changes to be Made in Jayhawker Line-up—Two New Men out for Practice.
Tomorrow and Thursday afternoons the Jayhawker base ball team will play the Washington University team on the McCook diamond. Coach Cayou's pupils have been playing a gilt edge game this year and will do their best to even up for the trouncing the Kansans gave them in football and basketball last fall and winter.
On account of the number of bonehead plays pulled off in the last three games Coach Ebright has decided to make several changes in the 'Varsity line-up. The changes are not definitely decided upon yet, but in last night's practice the left side of the team was interchanged and replaced. Fisher and Van Seoyce, two new men were out working for a place.
In the practice game with the freshmen last night the men showed good hitting ability and handled the ball like old timers at the game. The trouble with the team is that one bad play occasions a dozen more and that, when once the men get up in the air they just can't get down to solid footing again.
Should Kansas win the championship game from Washington she will have more than an even chance for the conference championship having already won the home games from both Missouri and Nebraska.
Saturday the Jayhawkers play St. Mary's on the latter's diamond.

DON'T FAIL TO VOTE THURSDAY
The election of a student council next Thursday is the most important event at the University this year, marking as it does the consummation and successful culmination of several years of agitation. Every student entitled to vote should cast his ballot for the men of his choice and help to inaugurate at the University a movement that will ultimately be of great importance and that will, in the future make a radical change in the student system. The student council movement is a greater University movement and not until the students are organized will the University be the force that it could and should be.
The students at the University cannot afford to miss the opportunity to hear the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and the other star attractions that will furnish entertainment at the May Music Festival. The orchestra is the best that will appear west of the Mississippi this season and in the large cities all over the country is making a great reputation. The student body should liberally support such a worthy enterprise as the festival has proven itself to be and the people of the University should not allow Lawrence and out-of-town people to exceed them in appreciation of high-class musical entertainments.
While the cold weather interfered with the high school track meet on Saturday the meet was an exceptionally good one and, considering the weather, the records made were high. The athletes in the Kansas high schools are improving right along and they rank right now with any secondary track men outside of the big cities. A competent coach could easily develop some wonderful point winners from the high school boys when they enter the University.
If all the Maud Mullers on the hill who are wearing those harvest hand hats should serve an apprenticeship at raking the meadows sweet with hay, the Kansas hay crop would go up in a hurry next fall.

SOPHOMORE GIRLS PARTY.
Had a Heap of Fun all by Themselves.
A motley crowd of Sophomore girls had a heap of fun in the gymnasium Friday night at their annual festival. Every one from a Spanish don to Topsy was there. They had their fortunes told, their pictures taken, threw at the doll racks, and bought patent medicines. The audience applauded lustily the stunts put on in the vaudeville show behind candle footlights. One of the main attractions was a wild animal show in which a real live lion obeyed the commands of one charming Mlle. Marcelle.
The crowd ate popcorn, ice cream cones and drank lemonade between stunts. When the dance began all kinds of people danced together.
The chaperones were Mrs. McClung, Mrs. Landrum and Mrs. Blackmar.
To Go to Marine Laboratory.
The table at the marine biological laboratory at Wood's Hole, Mass., maintained by Mrs. Sara T. D. Robinson for women of the University of Kansas, will be occupied this summer by Miss Eugene Sterling, a senior in the college, daughter of Prot. M. W. Sterling. The scholarship was awarded last week. Miss Sterling will take up her work at Wood's Hole the latter part of June.
County Maps Received.
The entomological department received this week from the Department of the Interior, 79 topographical maps of all the counties in Kansas. These maps will greatly aid the collectors this summer as they visit the various counties of Kansas in search of specimens.

An Extensive Pageant Followed by May Pole—Morris Dances to be Given.
Preparations are now in full swing for the May Day Games. The old English dances, under the direction of Miss Fish, Miss Sage, and Miss Flintom, are being rehearsed daily and promise to be attractive features of the day.

Statement.
That there may be no misunderstanding among those who may have signed petitions favoring my candidacy for the presidency of the Student Council I will state that the petitions were held up in order to keep any personal fight out of the settlement of the differences between the professional schools and the rest of the University in the matter of representation.—R. L. Douglas.

The Music Festival.
In Topeka 1000 season tickets have been sold for the concerts by the Minneapolis Orchestra which take place there today. Wednesday and Thursday the orchestra is in Wichita, Saturday at Baldwin; and Friday at the University. It depends on the student body to make the Festival a financial success. Five hundred student tickets should be taken for this purpose. At Michigan University 1000 student tickets are sold for the festival, at Oberlin about the same, at Lindsborg, Manhattan, Tarkio, Mo., practically the entire student body attends. Thus far the support of our Festival has come more from the town than from the University.

Coston, graduated from the engineering school of the University last year.
Professor Cady in Chapel.
Prof. H. P. Cady spoke in chapel this morning on the electro theory of matter. He said that J. J. Thompson who put it forward and others who adopted it felt that it could better explain certain phenomena than the old atomic theory. However it is a mistake to carry any theory too far as results may be as unsatisfactory as when a person believes all of every bird is feathers simply because he has decided that all birds have feathers.

Yesterday afternoon the Jayhawker baseball team redeemed itself for all the bad plays that have been pulled off on McCook field by the Kansans this year, by winning a twelve inning game from Washington University. Kansas tied the Washington score of 2 runs in the fifth inning and that ended the scoring until the final session, when Walker with two out and two men on bases smashed a liner over third base for three sacks, winning the game. The game counted on the championship.
Harlan was in the box for Kansas and right nobly did he perform, allowing the visitors five scattered hits. Mengse, a southpaw, did the pitching for Washington. He was as steady as a clock until the last inning when he was touched for two singles and a three sacker.
Washington began the scoring in the first inning. Two errors followed by a hit netted Cayou's men a run. Again in the third session they scored a run on errors followed by a hit. The Jayhawkers got their first run in the fourth and followed it up with another in the fifth. Up to the twelfth inning the game was one big pitchers' battle.
Huff played at short stop and Palmer held down third base. The change proved to be a good one as Huff accepted every chance he had without a bobble. Heizer replaced Haller in the fifth inning and Fisher went in at third in the ninth. The features of the game were Huff's fielding and the timely hitting of "Hutch" Walker.
TRENHOLME SPOKE INCHAPEL
Missouri Professor Discusses Relation of Two Universities.
Prof. N. M. Trenholme, professor of history in the University of Missouri, spoke in chapel this morning. After a reference to football and track athletics, he spoke of conditions which Missouri and Kansas universities have in common,
namely, the self-reliance of the students. Prof.Trenholme considers this more characteristic of western schools than those of the East in which he has also had some experience.
He spoke favorably of the student senate being organized at Columbia, as he believes it will be better for the University than the disciplinary committee of the faculty which can not be in entire sympathy with the students.
However he maintained that there is a distinct need for a higher level of student responsibility in many universities. Self-control should be developed and and students should not take unwarranted holidays by p frequent cutting of classes.
Notice to Students.
Students who have tickets for the May Festival may show them to instructors to be excused from classes tomorrow afternoon.
GALA DAY
MAY FETE COPIED FROM ENGLISH CUSTOM.
To Excell Last Year's Entertainment in Elaborateness-250 Students Take Part.
The May Fete which will be given Saturday afternoon is partially copied from the elaborate pageants given in England every year. One of the largest of these is the Chelsea pageant which in 1908 consisted of 10 scenes with 1040 characters. According to eye witnesses this pageant was a three hours feast of glorious color, of life and movement and music presenting the picture of dramatic groups and historic scences. Several of the episodes given in the Chelsea pageant will be presented at the Fete on Saturday.
The plans for this year's Fete are much more elaborate, than those of last year. Two hundred and fifty students will take part. Some special costumes have been ordered from Kansas City for the various groups of players. The University band will give a concert before the pageant starts. Many old English dances have been prepared for the Fete. A band of gypsies will have their tent on the campus. A group of minstrels will furnish music. There will be court fools, Friar Tuck, a real live lamb, pie man, and many other Old English characters.

HELD DEBATE
FRATERNITIES CONTESTED FOR EWING HERBERT CUP. Perkins, Beta Representative, won Debate—Two Fraternities did not enter Contestant.
The annual inter-fraternity debate was held last night in the chapel. This year's question was "Resolved that the Federal Government should establish Postal Saving Banks." All of the greek letter societies but the Alpha Taus and Sig Alphs entered the contest.
The debate was given before a small audience but despite that fact the argument was well handled and interesting.
The men representing the affirmative side of the question were: R. S. Pierson, Phi Gamma Delta; C. W. Milton, Sigma Nu; H. C. Allphin, Phi Delta Theta; F. E. Pettit, Phi Kappa Psi. Those on the negative were: Rollin Perkins, Beta Theta Pi; Frank Parker, Sigma Chi. The judges were Professors D. L. Thomas and O. D. O'Leary of the University and H. B. Peairs, superintendent of Haskell Institute. The winner was Rollin Perkins, and F. E. Pettit and H. C. Allphin were given second and third places respectively.

THE NEED OF TRADI TIONS HERE.
The May Fete on next Saturday is the only affair of its kind pulled off at this University in the course of the year. There should be many of the same sort of celebrations held by the different classes and schools each school year. The engineers ought to set aside a day for a distinctive engineering celebration like the famous St. Patrick day at Missouri, the Laws would do well to have a mock trial day on which all kinds of stunts of interest to the whole University might be staged. This school is young and as yet has very few traditions and memories. And in the absence of such traditions and associations the students must make them. The memories clustering about the eastern schools develop the wonderful school spirit manifested there, and to create a school spirit here we must start a few innovations that will in time grow into worthy traditions.
The newly elected athletic board in cooperation with Manager Lansdon will soon choose a coach for the track team of next year. All parties concerned have made up their minds to get a first class, experienced coach to carry on the start made toward developing a winning team. There is no reason why a large institution like the University of Kansas which has winning teams in football, base ball, and basketball should fall so woefully down in the cleaner and more interesting sport of the track and field. The student body is willing to make any necessary sacrifice toward obtaining a coach who may aid in putting track where it belongs among University activities.
The next University function is the sophomore prom. Now is the time to hand in your dates and pay your prom dues.

Sigma Chis Lost to Betas.

"The Toiler"
De Mareau was an artist of Lyons, France, and he died in 1893 at the age of thirty-one. His paintings never attracted attention outside of his own town, and indeed very little there, until after his death, when his wife was compelled by poverty to sell the pictures which her husband had refused to part with during his life. At this sale four thousand dollars was realized from pictures, which have since resold for over a quarter of a million, "The Toiler" alone is
One painting by Marean hangs in the Louvre, that enormous gallery of illustrious dead artists, and two other paintings of his are shown in the Luxembourg.
"The Toiler" will be exhibited in our second floor, Carpet and Drapery Department, for two weeks, beginning Monday, May 10. The Students and Faculty of K.U. are cordially invited to make a leisurely study of this wonderful painting.

TESTED PLANT
STUDENTS AND FACULTY TRY OUT NEW POWER HOUSE.
Many Received Shocks—Results Will Be Announced Next Week.
The faculty and many students of the engineering school have been testing the machinery and apparatus in the new power plant. A twenty-four hour run with the students doing all the work in alternate eight hour squads was the test given the machinery. It is a rare opportunity for students to be on hand at the testing of a large plant and the engineers were anxious to get the experience. They stoked the coal, oiled the machinery and kept account of the testing done.
The testing was completed this morning at 8:20 o'clock. It is not known whether the test was successful or not as a large amount of calculation must be made before definite results can be ascertained.
The machinery tested was the two large boilers, a crosscompound engine, directly connected with a direct generator of 150 K. W. capacity, a turbogenerator of 100 K. W. capacity and a motor generator set. The electricity for power purposes will be taken from the direct current and for lights from the alternating current.
FESTIVAL WAS GREAT SUCCESS
ORCHESTRA WAS THE BEST EVER HEARD HERE.
A third boiler to be taken from the present power house will be installed later in the year. The service and fire pumps will also be transferred to the new building this summer. By next fall the plant will be ready for use. It is said that this is the most mod-

Three Concerts Were Received With Great Enthusiasm—Festival a Financial Success.
The sixth annual May Music Festival came to an end last night with the second concert of the Minneapolis symphony orchestra given before a large and appreciative audience. The enthusiasm of the audience at each of the concerts marks this year's festival as the most successful and pleasing that has ever been given.
In Thursday evening's concert by Arthur Hartmann, violinist, and Alfred Calzin, pianist, two of the ablest artists who have ever appeared in Lawrence, were heard. Mr. Hartmann played his transcription of MacDowell's "To a Wild Rose" and closed the program with a composition of his own, "In the South," a symphonic rhapsody based on southern airs. Mr. Calzin's playing was very favorably received.
The Minneapolis orchestra proved a delightful surprise to the audiences at the concerts yesterday afternoon and last night, as it is easily the best trained aggregation of musicians that has ever appeared in Lawrence. Mr. Emil Oberhoffer, the conductor, has an ideal presence for such work and his control over his players players was something wonderful. The spontaneity with which they responded to his slightest movement was rare

A WET MAY DAY
PART OF FETE GIVEN IN THE ROBINSON GYMNASIUM
Several Novel Features—Nola Ayres the Queen and Archie Naramore King of the May.
The rainy weather this afternoon partly spoiled what promised to be a successful and well attended May Fete. The Y.W. C.A.girls and different University organizations had planned many novel features a number of which the inclement weather prevented. Miss Nola Ayres was the Queen of the May and Archie Naramore was the May King.
Three large May poles were placed on the campus but could not be used there on account of the rain. One was moved to Robinson Gymnasium where it was set upon the stage and there practically all of the Fete was given. The booths at which popcorn, candy, peanuts, pies and other May Day commodities were sold were also moved to the Gym and took their places on the first floor, where they did a flourishing business after the Fete.
The program started with the pageant, which marched around the outer aisles of the gymnasium auditorium. It was led by a Jester and four Heralds. Then came the Lord and Lady of the May and Attendants, May Pole girls,Morris Dancers, Milk Maids, Queen Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh, "Pyramus and Thysbe" players, Chimney Sweeps, "As You Like It" players, "Mother Goose" players, "Robin Hood" players, Shepherds and Shepherdesses and Wandering Minstrels.

THE STUDENTCOUNCILIS NOW STARTED.
The student council election on last Thursday was very encouraging to the friends of the scheme. Over half of the men in the three schools interested cast their ballots and many more would have done so had there been more of a contest for the offices and places on the council.
The men elected to make up the first student council are amply capable of making a success of the scheme and before the next election rolls around important results will undoubtedly have been obtained. There is plenty for the council to do; the matter of greatest concern is whether the council will have the time to handle everything that may come to its hands. Those students who say there is nothing for a students council to perform will soon be convinced.
The first work of the council should be to post notice of a mass meeting of the students of the University for the consideration of an amendment to the constitution allowing second year laws to be elected as officers. The law school should be conciliated if possible, they have able men who are needed on the council and in the future many of the officers are sure to be drawn from among the six year law students.
The best musical festival ever held at the University has just closed. The annual two day festival has come to be a permanent feature here and each year the success of the undertaking is increasing. Dean Skilton, the director of the festival, has made a financial success of the enterprise by hard and consistent work and now he has put the festival upon such a good financial standing that the best musical talent in America can be secured. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra yesterday exceeded the fondest expectation of the audience, and Hartmann, the violinist, was a revelation to music lovers. Dean Skilton should be encouraged by the interest taken in this year's festival for it shows that people appreciate what is best and greatest and most sublime in music.
Spoke to Journalists.
According to Sheffield Ingalls, of the Atchinson Champion, who spoke to the newspaper classes after chapel yesterday, there is nothing better than the newspaper work because it is there that opportunity is given to mould public opinion.
"Don't go into the newspaper work unless you are willing to work eighteen hours every day. About the first thing to do when starting in the newspaper business is to become intimately acquainted with the office towel which is the common property of everybody from the editor down to the devil.
The Atchinson Champion is the oldest paper in the state having been established in 1859.

IT is a noteworthy fact that custom tailors through out the east who exact fancy prices for their garments design their clothes from the same fashion plates adopted by the manufacturers who supply us with young men's styles. That is why we can assure you of the same originality of design and smartness of cut that is seen in the clothes worn by the young men of New York's "400." The difference is that our prices are based on actual worth. Be sure to look at the new grays, blues and olive effects we are showing in our exclusive two-button and three-button suits.

Sheffield Ingalls Spoke.
Sheffield Ingalls, '95, a member of the state legislature from the Atchison district, spoke in chapel Friday morning on the larger relation between the University and the state of Kansas. In stating that a battle is being waged by true patriots everywhere against a too strong tendency to commercialism, Mr. Ingalls said that he distinctly realized that he was presenting a venerable thought in hackneyed language. Nevertheless he recognized its importance. The success of the battle in Kansas depends upon the average intelligence of her citizens who are educated in the common schools and the University. Harmony must exist in the entire educational system. The firm foundation and splendid structure of the state's lesser schools without the University would be but a great edifice without the roof. Alumni and students of K.U. should at all times conduct themselves so that the state at large should recognize the importance of the University to the highest welfare of the commonwealth. Our pride in the institution, urged Mr. Ingalls, should be coordinate with our love for Kansas.
Tried a Case.
Hugh Fisher and I. H. Stearns of the Senior law school were appointed by Judge Smart of the district court to defend a criminal on Wednesday, and with only a few hours notice tried the case so successfully that he was acquitted on two out of three charges. The officials of the court house speak highly of their management of the case.

TO MAKE COLLECTIONS.
C. H. Withington Will Accompany Great Entomologist.
C. H. Withington, who has charge of the Francis H. Snow Entomological Collections, received an invitation from one of the foremost insect collectors to accompany him on his annual collecting trip this summer to New Mexico.
It has been the custom of this noted Coleoptera collector, who asks that his name be withheld for the present on account of being delayed, with requests from collectors to accompany him, to work his way unaccompanied through the little known regions of the southwest and in this way has added more new species to the North American fauna than any other insect collector of the present day.
Mr. Withington has the privilege of taking a good collector with him if he deems it advisable, meeting the collector at Alomoyorda, New Mexico, the latter part of June, when they will leave for a month of hard work collecting night and day.

Prizes to K. U. Graduates.
Since 1904 the American Historical Association has given prizes for the best contributions to American and European history in alternate years. It is a rather interesting fact that three of the five prizes that have been awarded during this period have been given to graduates of the University of Kansas. In 1904 the American history prize was awarded to W.R.Manning, who took his master's degree here in 1902 and is now professor of diplomatic history in George Washington University at Washington, D.C. The next American history prize was awarded to Miss Anna Abel, who took her master's degree here in 1900 and is now professor of history in the Woman's College of Baltimore. The European history prize for 1907 was awarded to Edward R.Krehbiel, who graduated here in 1902 and who has just been advanced to the professorship of mediavel history in Leland Stanford University Hereafter the prize monographs are to be issued by the Association as separate volumes and Mr. Krehbiel's book will be the first issue in the new series.
Articles in Chemical Journal.
The Journal of the American Chemical Society has accepted two articles for publication from Frank Rupert, of the Chemistry department. The articles deal with the results that have been obtained from original research in Physical Chemistry.

The Washington baseball team avenged itself for Wednesday's twelve inning defeat by the Jayhawkers, by winning on Thursday, 11 to 4. The last game was replete with errors and heavy batting, the visitors securing sixteen hits while the Jayhawkers were getting thirteen. Coach Ebright used twelve men in an endeavor to win. After nine runs had been made from Burdick's delivery, Heizer replaced him in the seventh inning. Wednesday's game, alone, counted on the championship.
Following are the batting averages for all games with the exception of those with Topeka and St. Marys:

indeed. His interpretation of the masters was a delight to the most critical among the musicians who heard him. The two concerts were made up of the highest kind of classical music and from the first motion of the conductor's baton to the brilliant close of the last number the pieces were played with a smoothness and perfection that drew from the large audiences expressions of enthusiasm such as are seldom heard.
If you are earning your own way through school, better call up K. U. Pantatorium. The business is for sale and now is the time to buy as next fall somebody else will have it.
The work of the soloists was fully up to the level of the excellence set by the orchestra. In the afternoon concert Mr. Carlo Fisher gave a great cello solo. Mr. Arthur Middleton, the basso, was ill and unable to be present. His numbers were sung very effectively by Mr. Frederick Wallace of Kansas City. The concerto played by Miss Maude Cooke of the University faculty in connection with the orchestra was rendered in a brilliant fashion which added to Miss Cooke's high reputation as a pianist. Mr. Richard Czerwonky, the violin soloist at the evening concert, delighted the audience and the solos of Miss Ormsby and Miss Plumb were well received. The quartet from "Rigoletto" by Misses Ormsby and Plumb and Messrs. Hedge and Middleton aroused such great enthusiasm that it had to be repeated.
SELF SUPPORTERS!!
Financially the festival was a success and the guarantors will not be called upon to make good a deficit. Dean Skiilton, who had the entire management of the festival in charge, is to be congratulated upon the success which has crowned his efforts.

WILL CLASH WITH TIGERS
JAYHAWKER TEAM READY FOR SATURDAY'S MEET.
Annual Out-Door Dual Track and Field Games To Be Held on McCook This Year.
Saturday afternoon the Jayhawker track team will strive to wipe out the indoor track defeat by crossing the tape ahead of the Tigers in the outdoor meet on McCook field. No one is open in his prophecies of a victory, yet the track authorities feel that the Kansas team has an excellent chance of nosing out a victory.
Kansas is proving exceptionally strong in the field events. Winters, a new man on the team, broke the McCook discus record, against Manhattan, with a throw of 114 feet 9 inches. Martindell and Smith have both broken the McCook record in the broad jump with distances of 21 feet 8 inches and 21 feet 9 inches respectively. Johnson and Wenger are improving in the pole-vault and should draw at least a second. Either Smith or Reynolds has a good chance for first in the high jump and Stephenson, if he is in true form, should win the shot put.
Coach Hagerman is working with the team every afternoon and hopes to have his men in good shape by Saturday. He hopes that Saturday, an old track "hoodo" will be broken. The coach pins his whole faith on the Jayhawkers to win the sprints, hurdle races, and a goodly share of the field events.
Alpha Taus Beat Phi Psis.
The Alpha Taus and Phi Psis played one game of the interfraternity baseball series on McCook yesterday afternoon at five o'clock. The game included two exciting "balloon ascensions" and terminated with a score of 9 to 7 in favor of the Alpha Taus.
Floyd Fischer of Wamego is visiting his brother Earl Fischer at the Alpha Tau house.

WILL GIVE A BENEFIT
PAN-HELLENIC ENTERTAINMENT FOR Y. M. C. A. FUNDS.
All the Fraternities to Put On Vaudeville Stunts in Gymnasium Saturday Night.
The Greek letter fraternities of the University have about completed arrangements for a Pan-Hellenic vaudeville entertainment for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. to be given at 8 o'clock next Saturday evening in the Robinson gymnasium. Twenty-five cents admission will be charged and the entire proceeds of the evening will be given to the University Y. M. C.A. The program should prove to be as entertaining to the girls as to the boys and a large crowd of students is expected to attend.
One number on the program will be a three act travesty on Hamlet with specialties between acts by the Sigma Chis. Shakespeare will be improved and brought down to date. The Alpha Taus and Sig Alphs will present Minstrel shows, each one better than the other. The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity will appear on the stage with a production entitled "Her Answer." "The Hand of Fate," whatever that may mean, will be the Sigma Nu contribution to the evening's entertainment. The Phi Delt boys are scheduled to present their interpretation of "The Amateur's Night at the Vaudeville." The other two fraternities will also have stunts and, as the advance notices usually say, there will not be a tedious moment during the entire evening.
Chemical Society Meeting.
Next Saturday the monthly meeting of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society will be held at the University. The chief speaker for the meeting will be Mr. Otto Eisenschiml, of Kansas City who will talk on the chemistry of oils and paints.
LOST AGAIN
ST. MARY'S DEFEATED JAY- HAWKERS YESTERDAY.
Ebright's Team is Playing Freshmen Every Evening—May Change Line-up.
Last Saturday afternoon the Jayhawker baseball team was defeated again by St. Mary's; this time on the latter's diamond. Every man on the Kansas team played real baseball, except in base running, but still luck favored the Catholics. In the fourth inning with a man on second base, a St. Mary's slugger swatted out a home run. These two scores added to the one made earlier in the game gave the Saints too big a lead for the Jayhawkers to overcome. In the ninth Coach Ebright's pupils managed to secure a couple of tallies which left the final score 3 to 2.
The team is now being coached every afternoon in practice games against the Freshmen. Coach Ebright said yesterday that thus far he intended making no changes in the line-up for the next scheduled game. Every man played in such good form in the last game against St. Mary's that he does not feel justified in putting in any new men. Had it not been for hard luck at the wrong time he says there is not a doubt but that Kansas would have won the St. Mary's game. However,he is giving Van Scoyce a thorough tryout on third and if the new man makes good in the next few practice games he may be given a suit and allowed to alternate that position with Palmer.
Ebright is more than optimistic about the future and believes that the team will show up in better form in the coming games than it has so far this season. Practice games will be played with Haskell this week. It is in these games that the Coach will make his final decision on the new men.
Roy Mills, Clyde Magill, and Ivan Burket are wearing Nu Sigma Nu colors.

A TRACK COACH AT ANY PRICE.
Everyone at the University is unanimous in wanting an experienced track coach to succeed Hagerman but at the present time it looks as though the whole matter might be allowed to drop because of lack of funds. The state does not support the athletic association here as is done in Missouri and other nearby commonwealths and athletics must depend on student support and gate receipts from the big games. The Kansan has stated several times that the students were so anxious to see a winning track system started here that they would willingly make the necessary sacrifice and stand an additional levy of fifty cents on the athletic season ticket. With such a small individual increase a good coach can be obtained who will devote his entire time to the work and who will lift track athletics out of the miserable rut that has bound its course ever since track meets have featured athletics at this University. The long string of defeats that the school has enjoyed in the cleanest of all sports is a disgrace to the University and makes every student and alumni blush when the record is thrown up to him. A good track coach at any price should be the aim and design of the student body.
The University Missourian in a recent number argues that the students of the Kansas City, Missouri, high schools are in duty bound to attend Missouri University and that those who attend other schools, Kansas in particular, are disloyal to their own state. The writer on The Missourian seemingly forgets that the products, the people, and the good will of Kansas has done much more for Kansas City than the state of Missouri has done, and it is only fair and right that some of those whose interests and whose sympathies lie in this state should attend this University. Kansas has as
much of a claim on the big city as has Missouri, and while unfortunately it lies outside Kansas bounds it is still a Kansas city.
Today the Quill, the annual publication of the University's only strictly literary society, is out for sale. The Quill is the only magazine published here in the course of the year and it is likely that the publication will in time become a regular monthly magazine. The Quill this year is an eighty page booklet and contains the best stories written by students this year.
In spite of the bad weather on last Saturday the May Fete was a success. The girls of the University would not be hampered by the rain and the crowd of twelve hundred that enjoyed the Fete proves how successful the girls were.

ATHLETIC BOARD RESOLVES.
Don't Like the Idea of Promiscuous Wearing of "K."
The Athletic Board met yesterday noon to discuss the action of the Kansas Canoe Club in having its picture taken with the members wearing a "K" closely approaching the official emblem of the University. The following resolutions were adopted:
"Whereas, it has come to the knowledge of the Athletic Board of the University of Kansas that a certain organization known as the Kansas Canoe Club, has adopted as its emblem a monogram with a "K", without the authority of the Athletic Board, and
"Whereas, the official "K" is awarded only by the Athletic Board and as a mark of distinction to those who have won honors for the University in athletic sports,
Ladies or Gentlemen
"Be it resolved that the Athletic Board highly censures and disapproves any and all persons who adopt or wear "K's" closely resembling the official "K,"and
"Be it further resolved, that the Athletic Board respectfully requests the University Council to take action, regulating the use of official "K's" at its earliest convenience, and
"Be it further resolved, that these resolutions be published in The Kansan.

"Izmiena" Has a Local Setting and Many Local Hits.
SENIOR PLAY PRACTISING.
The cast for the senior play "Izmiena" is practising for the production to be given on May 20 and 21. Miss Elinor Lincoln of Topeka is directing the rehearsals of the play and she is enthusiastic about the possibilities of the play and of the cast. Twenty-five experienced stage people in this year's graduating class are to present "Izmiena."
"Izmiena" is an original, light play written by the senior play committee of which Miss Amarette Weaver is chairman. The play is full of local hits and has a local setting throughout.
The senior play is always the biggest hit in University dramatics staged during the year. Though the plot of the play always remains a secret until the first presentation enough has leaked out about "Izmiena" to warrant the statement that the annual production will be better than usual this year.

Mr. Eugene Ware, better known perhaps as Ironquil, now of Nelson and Ware, of Kansas City, Kansas, delivered an address on "Appeals under the new code of Kansas" before the Senior and Middle practice courts of the school of law. He concluded his address as follows: "It seems to me that if the Supreme Court sustains the constitutionality of this new system of appeals, the lawyers of Kansas can in twenty years so perfect it, that it will be the best system in use on earth."

A COURSE IN CERAMICS.
Professor Haworth Wants Study of Clay Industry.
Ever since Prof. Erasmus Haworth came to the University in 1892, he has been working for the establishment of a course of study in ceramics which pertains to all kinds of clays and the products made from them. The department of fine arts, of civil engineering and of geology will take active interest in the work. As soon as a kiln can be provided, work will begin. The details of this new branch will be given out later.
The clay industry is becoming more important each year; the U. S. and State Geological Survey devotes much attention to it and the product of the industry reaches into the millions in many states.
An interesting fact in connection with clay work is that over two hundred years ago clay was sent to England which practically formed the basis for the fine earthenware and pottery of that country.
Poems Published.
Willard A. Wattles has a short poem entitled "The Test" in the May issue of the Kansas Magazine. Mr. Wattles has a longer poem, "The Prairie Wind," in the publication by the members of the Quill Club which went on sale at the check stand this morning. It describes the beauties of the Western plains through a verse form that suggests by its irregular movement the varying gusts of the Kansas winds. The poem was originally read at the Phi Beta Kappa banquet last February.
With Gilmore's Company.
Miss Dorothea McKnight left last Friday for Kansas City to join Paul Gilmore's company which is playing "The Boys of Company B." She is to get a two weeks tryout. On account of accepting this place Miss Mc Knight has postponed her graduating recital to May 29.

TRACK MEET ON SATURDAY
ANNUAL JAYHAWKER = TIGER ROUND-UP ON McCOOK.
The Kansas Team Has Been Well Trained-Will Give Tigers a Close Race.
The Jayhawker track team is ready for the dual meet to be held on McCook field Saturday afternoon with the Tigers. Several of the best athletes of Kansas have not been able to get the form that has been expected of them but still with an even break of luck the Missourians should be given an awful scare in the annual event this year.
Both Coach Hagerman and Manager Lansdon have done their best in providing everything which the team needs. The coach spends the entire afternoon each day teaching the men individually how to get the most out of the least effort. The manager has supplied the men with plenty of equipment. It will be the fault of the men if Kansas does not win the meet.
For the first time in several years Kansas has more than an even chance to win the sprints. Haddock beat Douglas two years ago and if he gets off good will do it again. Johnson and Newbold are expected to take care of the hurdle races. In the field events Martindell, Smith, Winters, Meyers, and Stephenson should win at least four firsts. The Kansas team is not strong on the long distance races this year. The coach though concedes Missouri fiirst and second only in the two mile run.
The Kansas entries for Saturday's meet are:
100 yd. dash—Haddock, Newbold, Hamilton.
220 yd. dash—Haddock, Martindell, Hamilton.
440 yd. race—Haddock, Martindell, Hamilton, Fairchild.
880 yd. race—Bergen, Badger. Mile run—Cooley, Clark.
Twomile run—Cooley,Thompson, Petit.
High hurdles—Johnson, Martindell.
Low hurdles-Newbold,Smith Hamilton.

PAN-HELLENIC ENTERTAINMENT
READY FOR Y. M. C. A. BENE-FIT VAUDEVILLE.
Many Star and Mysterious Attractions-All for Only 25 Cents.
The Pan-Hellenic vaudeville, Saturday evening in the gymnasium, gives promise of being one of the most entertaining events of the year. The stunts are to be put on by the various Greek letter fraternities of the school and the entire proceeds will go for the benefit of the University Y. M. C. A.
The curtain will be rung up promptly at 8 o'clock and a two hours laugh will be begun. Hamlet will be presented by two fraternities. Their interpretation of this play will be something worth seeing. It has leaked out that there is to be a real corpse and a genuine duel in these productions of Shakespeare's great work. The costumes are said to be extremely elaborate. The "Hand of Fate" with all its mysteries will be staged with special scenery. "The Amateur's Night at the Vaudeville" is one of the strongest numbers on the bill. A foretaste of the K. U. commencement will be given in "The Sweet Girl Graduate."
The vaudeville is not to be a strictly "stag" affair—it is open to every student of the University. A small admission fee of 25 cents will be charged.
Robert N. Lindville, of Custer Oklahoma, and G. E. Thorpe, of Scandia, are wearing Phi Alpha Delta colors.
The father of John A. Hess college '08, died last night at the family home, 900 Rhode Island street. Mr.Hess is at present doing graduate work in the college.The funeral will be held from the home tomorrow morning at ten o'clock.
This evening the class in Nineteenth Century Political History will entertain Professor Becker at a smoker at the Phi Ssi house. Refreshments will also be served.

MAY BE ANOTHER FACULTY LOSS.
The University is about to lose another of its superior professors. In the past few years some of the best instructors have been lost by Kansas to other schools, and at the present time there are several men who stay in Lawrence only because of their devotion to the institution and the chance of ultimately bettering their position here. Nearly all the professors are sincerely devoted to Kansas, and with equal opportunities and equal pay, would prefer to remain here. Under the conditions that have been existing a professor, who refused an opportunity to get into a larger university, was an enemy to his own future. A new system is about to be installed here which, in a few years, should put the University on such a basis that it can compete with any school in the west in obtaining the best teaching talent. Every old man lost must be replaced by a new man, who in any case will be but an experiment.
The action of the athletic board and of the newly elected student council with respect to the canoe club is highly proper. The promiscuous wearing of the "K" will cause that emblem of merit to degenerate into a commonplace memento without any intrinsic value. A student, or any one else of course, has the personal right to bedeck himself with any sort of thing his peculiar taste in art may crave. But a custom has developed by which people do not wear emblems and signs peculiar to certain associations and groups. The "K" at this University is distinctive and no student should any more think of attaching a "K" to his sweater than he would of appending a Phi Beta Kappa key to his watch fob. The promiscuous wearing of the "K" is comparable to the promiscuous wearing of the Masonic emblem.
The senior classes this year have decided to wear caps and gowns commencing two weeks before commencement. This same thing has been decided by classes in the past but it has never been lived up to. Some of the graduates think it is below their dignity to be dignified enough to wear the conventional garb of University graduates. It will give a certain color and tone to the seniors if they take on the airs of large schools and do something unique and at the same time eminently proper before graduating week. The majority of the seniors, boys and girls, this year wish to don caps and gowns two weeks before the graduating exercises and a minority should not block such an important bit of innovation.

FOUND IMPORTANT SKULL.
Most Perfect Glyptodon Specimen in the World.
Mr. H. T. Martin, collector for the University Museum, has just begun to prepare for mounting what he considers the most important skull of a mammal of the Glyptodon family now in existence in the world. There are only two other skulls of this kind in the world and one of those is in the University Museum while the other is in a museum in Buenos Ayres.
The skull was found on the eastern coast of Patagonia about twenty-five miles north of Cape Fair Weather.
"It was a difficult task to obtain this specimen," said Mr. Martin. "We were compelled to let ourselves down the side of a sheer cliff by ropes where we worked practically suspended in the air. I consider this the most important specimen of its kind in the world. It is more nearly complete and gives us a better idea of how the animal really looked as it was when it was living than any other specimen. I should judge that the skull is over a half million years old. It resembles the Armadillo more than any other modern animal."
Miss Emley's Recital.
Miss Pearl Emley gave her graduating recital last night in the chapel. Miss Emley was assisted by Florence Townley Leland, vocalist, of Topeka and Professor Carl Preyer, accompanist, of Fine Arts department.

Delegates for their Alma Maters.
Professor F. W. Blackmar has been appointed by Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore as its representative at the fiftieth anniversary exercises of Baker to be held at Baldwin during commencement week. Professor C. G. Dunlap will represent the Ohio Wesleyan on the same occasion. The Baker faculty is planning to make its half century anniversary a great event and has asked the eastern schools to send representatives. Professor Blackmar received his doctor's degree from Johns Hopkins in 1889, and Professor Dunlap his A. B. in 1883 and master's degree in 1899 from Ohio Wesleyan and these schools have appointed their former students instead of present instructors as representatives. The assemblage of delegates from the various colleges of the nation will be held Monday evening June 7 with Governor W. R. Stubbs presiding.
Miss Anderson's Recital.
Miss Charlotte Anderson, assisted by Miss Nita Abraham, soprano, of Kansas City, and Mrs. B. J. Dalton, accompanist, gave her graduating piano recital in Fraser Hall Tuesday evening. Each number on the program was well received by the audience. The spinning song from "The Flying Dutchman" by Wagner-Liszt and Mendelssohn's G Minor Concerto as played by Miss Anderson were especially pleasing.

Mr. Haskell was one of the pioneers of Lawrence and was a constant friend of the University until death last year. He was the architect who designed four of the University buildings, Fraser Hall, Snow Hall and the Medical and Chemistry buildings. A daughter and two nieces of Mr. Haskell are alumnae and another daughter was a former student. Professor W. E. Higgins, is chairman of the committee directing the arrangements for the exercises incident to hanging the picture.

COUNCIL MET
NEW STUDENT ORGANIZATION HELD FIRST MEETING.
Chancellor was Present.—Movement to Conciliate Laws.—Action against Canoe Club.
The Student Council began its real work at its first regular meeting last night. The Chancellor was present upon invitation, and discussed in general terms the issues that confront the student body. "This student self government will succeed," he said, "only when the members of the council put aside personal ambitions, feelings, and desires, and strive for the welfare of the student body."
Plans were discussed for a general program to be carried out next year. The recent action of the Canoe Club in wearing "K's" which they had not won in open contest was taken under consideration. John Powers was asked to appear before the council next Tuesday evening and state the club's side of the case. An insert or a line stamped under the picture will be put in the annual showing that the "K's" were not awardfor athletic achievements.
The Laws and the Pharmics were each requested to send a committee of two to confer with the council on the requirements for eligibility to hold office on the council.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME V.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 15, 1909
NUMBER 90
KANSAS WINS
Broad Jump and Relay Won the Meet
THE SCORE WAS 521-2 to 641-2
First Victory Against Tigers Was Close Throughout =-Meyer Broke Putnam's Record in Hammer Throw=-Tom Johnson Made Fourteen Individual Points.
This afternoon Hagerman's track athletes turned a trick which has never been done before by winning the annual dual track meet from Missouri. The final score was $ 52\frac{1}{2} $ to $ 64\frac{1}{2}. $ A muddy field kept down the time in many events but the meet was interesting throughout.
After the meet was won with 2 points to spare the relay team made Missouri's defeat a smashing one by winning the most spectacular and clean-cut mile relay ever seen on McCook field. Newbold, Hamilton, Martindell and Haddock ran.
Johnson was the bright individual star, taking firsts in the high hurdles and high jump and tying with Wenger for first in the pole vault, all for a total of 14 points.
Kansas started off by winning both first and second in the high hurdles with ease. Haddock then took first in the hundred yard dash but neither Clark nor Cooley were able to carry off a place in the mile. The quarter mile was one of the prettiest races in the meet. Martindell took the lead which he maintained until the last third of the last lap when Wood of Missouri passed him for first place. In the 220 dash Haddock starred again taking first place easily against two of the Tiger runners. In the half mile Badger ran a great race but gave out in the last lap and was passed by both Missouri men. Newbold and Smith ran a close race in the low hurdles, both finishing ahead of the Tigers and thus adding eight more points to the Kansas score. In the two mile Kansas was unable to take either place, dropping both first and second to Missouri. The mile relay, the last track event, added five more
points to Kansas' victory already won.
In the pole vault both Johnson and Wenger showed themselves superior to Missouri by tying for first place, but in the discus Kansas was compelled to concede both places to the Tigers, and took only second in the shot put. The hammer throw was the feature event of the meet. Meyer appeared in great form today and not only took first place in a walk-away at 144 feet 8 inches but afterward made a new record on McCook in that event by throwing the hammer 145 ft 8 in. The record has been held for several years by Putnam who has since made himself famous by breaking the record at Oxford. The high jump was one of the point winners for Kansas, Tom Johnson taking first place at 5 ft. 6 in. Jim Smith did some good jumping but could do no better than tie with Wright of Missouri for second place at 5 feet 5 in. The Running Broad Jump on which the result of the meet actually depended was won by Jim Smith; Martindell taking second.

BIG SHOW IS READY
PAN-HELLENIC ENTERTAINMENT IN GYM TONIGHT.
Everything of Vaudeville Nature —Y. M.C.A. to Receive the Money—Admission 25c.
All things are now in readiness for the Pan-Hellenic vaudeville which is to be pulled off this evening in the Robinson gymnasium. All the fraternities have been working strenuously in their efforts to out-do each other. It is said that several managers of Kansas City theatres will be on hand to pick out some good vaudeville performers for the summer season.
There will be wrestling matches which will cause the Gotch-Roller bout to pale into insignificance. There will be jugglers of all kinds. "Rup" Thomas will be the stellar performer in this stunt.
One of the most gruesome and repelling specimens of the human race ever seen on the hill will be a South American Indian woman's head which Ralph Spotts will use in his burlesque interpretation of the gravedigger's scene in Hamlet.
The entire proceeds of the vaudeville will go for the benefit of the University Y. M. C. A. so that an admission of 25 cents is to be charged. Unless advance notices are false, the show will be worth twice the money. Those interested in the Y. M. C. A. now have an opportunity to show their loyalty.
Journalists in Topeka.
Twelve members of the sophomore journalism class, accompanied by Prof. L. N. Flint, visited the Topeka Capital and State Journal offices last Thursday.

SENIOR PRODUCTION PROMISES TO BE LIVELY.
A Large Cast to Put On a Play of Local Nature—Plot is Rumor As Yet.
"Izmiena" is to be one of the snappiest and best senior plays ever given at the University if the precious few hints that have leaked out are on the square. This much is certain, it is a strictly college play, having its setting in an actual University event eleven years ago. Anyone acquainted with the athletic history of the University, will readily recognize the basis for the play. Dame Rumor has it that there is to be a football dressing room scene which will be simply great. The four-act college play will be interspersed with several songs.
"Izmiena" is a comic melodrama, closely approaching the tragic in a few places. Miss Ruby Phillips is the leading lady. She will be assisted by Leonard Pulliam, as leading man and comic character. "Buster" Brown and Marlin Hatfield Poindexter will be the other dispensers of the sunny smile and the contagius laugh.
Some special scenery has been prepared for "Izmiena." The university campus scene will be one of the most attractive in the ylay. It is said that there will be no take-off on the cases.
Miss Elinor Lincoln of Topeka who has charge of the play, is more than enthusiastic over the prospects of "Izmiena" and the ability of the cast of twenty-five. Paul Farragher is chairman of the committee which is responsible for the make-up of the play.
Graduates Visit University.
The graduating class of the Topeka high school visited at the University Friday. Each spring the seniors of the Topeka school spend one day seeing the Universi. Miss Ewing, who teaches Greek in the high school accompanied the class.
Game Called Off.
On account of the downpour of rain yesterday afternoon the baseball game between Haskell and Kansas was called off at the end of the second inning, with the score standing one to nothing in favor of Haskell.

THE HIGH CREST OF THE REFORM WAVE.
The action of the girls of the University in declaring in convention assembled with unanimous voice against the pernicious mid-week date, and that right in the midst of the boating season, establishes the high water mark for deeds requiring daring and cool courage. Along side of this, all the heroic acts which we have been wont to applaud on the bloody football arena, on the track and the diamond, fade into insignificance. It is going to be terribly hard on the University men if the girls stick to their word, but let us hope that they will do it if only for the sake of carrying to a creditable finish a movement so bravely begun. We do not expect to see a repetition of an incident which happened last fall when, the night after the senior girls had adopted the no mid-week date rule, the two girls who were most prominent in getting the rule adopted unexpectedly met each other at a mid-week party.
The tendency begun by several of the fraternities to make their spring parties exceed in elaborateness like social functions of other fraternities is gradually leading to an over development of the social life. It does not at all follow that the enjoyment of a party is proportional to the expense. Many fraternity men cannot afford to pay thirty or thirty-five dollars toward a spring party, but the tendency once started must be followed by all the socially ambitious. The minute the fraternities lead to an exaggerated social existence and tend to make living more aristocratic they become un-American and undemocratic.
The melancholy days are nearly here, for in only two more weeks final examinations will be the regular order of the day. Then will the percolators
be stopped in their slippery career, and those who did separated from those who did not. The grinds, with the serene appearance of accomplishment on their furrowed brows, will give up their cares to assume them again in three short months, and the flunkers will assume their cares to drop them again in three short months.
More University Extension.
Professor R. D. Landrum, of the Chemistry department, has returned from a trip to South bridge, Mass. where he has confering with Professor R. K Duncan and officers of the American Optical Co. as to the building and equipping of a chemical laboratory. Professor Duncan has been commissioned by this company to start a research dement in their works. The department is to consist of five men, the director, a chemical analyst, a physicist, and two assistants, and Professor Duncan is going abroad this summer to select the director. Professor Landrum's special work will be the equipping of the laboratory. This is part of the University extension work, that is being carried on in the various departments.

Teaching in the Philippines.
In his talk about school teaching in the Philippines at the Y. M.C.A.meeting Thursday evening Walter Mayer sketched the history of the islands to show how the Spaniards had brought Cathedral schools into the country along with the religion. Though the majority of the natives were extremely ignorant at the time the Americans went among them they were ready to receive the primitive instruction which the soldiers could give then. When this government established civil government it arranged for public schools so that now the islands are thoroughly districted. The work of the American teacher such as Mr.Mayer himself did two years is largely supervising the native instructors. He found his various duties quite interesting and that on the whole his efforts were appreciated by the natives.
New Method for Mesityline.
Dr. F. W. Bushong, of the Chemistry department, is working out in his laboratory a method of making mesityline, an aromatic substance used for synthesizing other chemicals. He is endeavoring to improve the method of making mesityline from acetone, so as to get a larger yield. The old method gave only an eleven and onehalf per cent yield, while Dr. Bushong has already increased the yield several per cent.
Chemists Meet Today.
This afternoon and evening the Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society is holding its last meeting for the year in Lawrence.

CRITICISES SOCIOLOGISTS.
Cosmopolitan Opposed to Modern Ideas of Society.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar together with Edward A. Ross, of the University of Wisconsin, and F. H. Giddings, of Columbia, and other prominent instructors in sociology in different universities in the country, comes under the criticism of one Harold Bolce in the May number of the Cosmopolitan. Under the somewhat startling and distinctly misleading title of "Blasting at the Rock of Ages," Mr. Bolce gives some of the results of his study of American colleges extending over a period of two years. He reports the statements of professors of sociology to illustrate what seems to him the destructive teaching in our higher institutions of learning. To Professor Blackmar he gives comparatively little attention and merely quotes with disapproval that Professor Blackmar teaches that "the standards of right perpetually change in social life, the varying standards being found not only in different races but in the same race from age to age."
The article by Mr. Bolce has attracted the attention especially of the religious journals some of which are publishing critical comment as reported in the last issue of the Literary Digest. The Western Christian Advocate, of Cincinnati, admits the importance of Mr. Bolce's reports if his angle of vision is accurate but charges him with amazing ignorance of the primary principles of social science. It further says that the
proof offered by Mr. Bolce for his radical and damaging statements consists of isolated sentences torn bodily from their connection, given without any explanation of their context and then subjected to the distorting influence of his own prejudice and warped conceptions. In short, the Advocate considers the Cosmopolitan article a bad type of yellow journalism and published only for sensational and revenue purposes.

President of State Board of Control Told of State Institutions.
Hon. H. C. Bowman, of Topeka, attorney and acting president of the State Board of Control, spoke in chapel Friday morning in regard to the institutions under his control. He said that though they were not naturally interesting to us every person in Kansas who was so unfortunate as to have a member of the family in any one of the institutions was glad to know that their inmates received adequate attention.
Mr. Bowman mentioned the various private agencies at work in Kansas over which the Board of Control exercised a close supervision. While some of them are accomplishing good results he believed that it would be better if others were directly operated by the state. The main work of the Board is the management and control of the nine public institutions. Among these are the schools for the different classes of unfortunates and delinquents in which much is done for the improvement of the inmates and thus for the subsequent welfare of the state
Mr. Bowmangave a few details about the insane, the brain sickened wards of the state, and the asylums in which they were given care. He closed by emphasizing the importance of efficient heads for the institutions and paying a general tribute to those who now have the responsibility upon them.

GIRLS CONSTITUTION ADOPTED
Yesterday after chapel the girls of the University met and adopted the constitution for the Women's Student Council. As soon as the constitution was adopted petitions for the offices began to circulate and at present several capable and representative girls are candidates for office.
The president comes from the senior class and as yet no petitions have been received but the juniors, who elect the three vice-presidents, have already nominated Kate Hart, Lydia Marshall, Keene Fones, Edna Hopkins, and Pearl Stuckey for the places. The race will be a close one for the vicepresident receiving the most votes will be president next year.

WAS GAY PROM
Annual Function for Seniors well Attended—Decorations the Feature of the Party
The fourth annual promenade given by the sophomores to the seniors, was held last night in Fraternal Aid hall. The party, from all points of view, was a success. It eclipsed all former sophomore functions. About one hundred and twenty couples were present. "Shanty" Newhouse's orchestra furnished the music.
The hall was decorated in the University colors with soft light effects to carry out the color scheme. A large K.U. monogram of red and blue lights was suspended over the center of the stage, while on either side were hung the numerals 1909 and 1911. Extending around the hall was a continuous string of pennants. The railing of the balecony was decorated with large club and college flags.
A propitious moon was placed in one corner which blinked at intervals during the feature dances. Each of the other corners of the hall were decorated with blue lights.
Three intermissions of three dances each were set aside for the three course luncheon.
The grand march was led by the president of the class, Clinton Kanaga, and Miss Eva Detwiler. Programs were handed out by Miss Florence DeLay, Milton Baer, Isabel Barton and Emile Grignard.
From the financial side, the Prom was also a success. This year the class has been unfortunate in securing bad dates for their parties, and in being compelled to assume a debt of fifty dollars from last year. The Prom not only paid out, but practically cleared away this deficit, so that the class will start in its junior year next fall out of debt.
Miss Russ' Recital.

write-ups are new and breezy and several new stunts have been worked out. All the University organizations are pictured in the annual and the cuts are the finest obtainable in Kansas City.
The Annual board decided to dedicate the Jayhawker this year to Dean Frank O. Marvin of the Engineering school. This was done because the engineering school is at a critical and advancing period of its growth and is just beginning to forecast the future it is bound to have.

OFFICERS
GIRLS TO ELECT LEAVE FOR TRIP TODAY
Executive Council Only to be Chosen—Interest in Election of Junior Vice President.

From the sophomore class are to be chosen the treasurer and secretary. Helen Phillips and Eva Detwiler are running for the first office an Ola Jackson and Mabel Evans for the second office.
Most interest is being taken in the election of the three vicepresidents from the junior class because the successful candidate having the highest number of votes will be the president of the association next year.

CARL PLEASANT, President.
PLAY MISSOURI AND WASHINGTON THIS WEEK.
Championship Games Tomorrow and Saturday-Hagerman Is Pleased with Team.
Coach Ebright will leave this afternoon with the University baseball team for a series of four games, two each against Missouri and Washington. The game tomorrow against Missouri and the one Saturday against Washington will be the championship games and will both be pitched by Harlan. The other game against Missouri will probably be pitched by Heizer and the first one against Washington by Burdick.
The line-up will be practically the same as in the last game at St. Marys with the exception of left field, which will be played by Heizer when he is not doing slab work. Farrell will make the trip and may be given an opportunity to show his ability as a twirler.
The team will return Sunday and will play K. S. A. C. here Monday afternoon.
"I can leave the Missouri Valley perfectly contented by feeling that I have been more than repaid for the efforts I have expended in turning out a winning track team at Kansas," said coach Hagerman in reply to a Kansan query concerning the Jayhawkers success in Saturday's meet with Missouri university. "We should have won four of the six meets that we have had with Missouri since I have been here; hard luck alone has beat us.
"Do I think Missouri could have whipped us with Douglas, Herzog, and Miller in the meet? No sir they could not have done it. Winters, the discus hurler was off color, and Perril, the quarter-miler was sick and these two men could have evened up for the Tigers loss had our team been in the pink of condition.
"The trouble with Monilaw's team was that the men were taught to believe that Kansas has no athletes. One big factor in our gaining such a pronounced victory was the attitude of the students in the bleachers. They demanded a victory and helped materially by their cheering in getting it." The team is working hard this week preparing for the interstate meet with Nebraska at Lincoln next Saturday. All the men are in good condition and are expecting to give the Cornhuskers all they have.

CULMINATION OF A VIC TORY IN ATHLETICS
It is told of a great Shakespearean actor that one day when he was playing the role of Macbeth, he became so wrought up and excited in his theme that unconsciously he ascended to the furtherest heights of tragic passion and when the climax to his part came he was unable to exceed his former efforts. And so the unfortunate actor at the time when he should have done his best was able to be only mediocre.
The student body now knows how the tragedian felt when he was unable, in one great burst of pent-up passion, to make a fitting climax to his efforts. There should have been something held in reserve by the student body in order that such a monumental and epoch-breaking event as the track victory over the Tigers might be made the culmination of things athletic at the University this year. Already in celebrating two Missouri Valley championships, however, the faithful followers of the Jayhawkers have fairly exceeded themselves and are now unable to rise to the needs of the case.
The girls of the University are taking even more interest in the Student Government idea than the boys, and the girls election promises to be an interesting and a hard fought one. It now seems certain that the student councils will be successes and by the time that school gets fairly started next fall the two councils should be in good running order. The Law school will very likely elect delegates to the men's council as soon as the residence requirement of officers is lowered from five to three semesters, or is done entirely away with. The majority of the students are anxious and willing to make any necessary concessions to the Laws in order that the council may be a success and the present council should make haste and settle the whole matter before school closes.
And then what a fitting way for Coach Hagerman to end his track connection with the University! After three years of constant and persistent hard work he has at last accomplished the task he set out to perform and that in the last track meet in which he will ever direct the Jayhawkers on McCook field.
Why is it, we rise to enquire that all the girls attending the carnival at night wear a sheepish and hunted expression on their faces? Can it be that the co-eds have already developed a consciousness of right and wrong concerning week-night dates as a result of the girls constitution?

SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT
Pan-Hellenic Benefit Made $110 for the Y. M. C. A.
The greatest aggregation of vaudeville artists ever assembled on the Robinson Gymnasium stage appeared before a large and appreciative audience Saturday evening in the PanHellenic entertainment for the benefit of the University Y. M. C.A. The Sigma Chi boys presented a three act interpretation of Hamlet ending with the death of the leading characters in a properly tragic manner. The Phi Kappi Psi fraternity emphasized the gravediggers scene in Hamlet. The costumes in both presentations were outlandish.
"The Hand of Fate" presented by the Sigma Nus introduced a miniature express train on the stage and necessitated thrilling rescue of the heroine. The melodrama "Her Answer" by the Phi Gams required but two actors but fully made up in intensity any lack of extent. The Betas gave an entirely local setting to their production of "The Sweet Girl Graduate." The Phi Delts put on a burlesque of several numbers which they called "Amateur's Night at the Vaudeville." The minstrel show to be given by the Sig Alphs failed to materialize but the black face attests from the Alpha Taus were on hand with songs and a collection of assorted jokes.
The evening's entertainment brought about $110 to the Y. M. C.A.treasury as a result of the good favor of the fraternity boys to the organization.

ANNUAL REGATTA.
River Sports Saturday Morning of This Week.
The second annual regatta on the Kaw will be held Saturday morning, May 22, at 9 o'clock. About a thousand people enjoyed these aquatic sports last year, and the program this year will surpass that of last year. The river is going down, and the canoe club, under whose auspices the regatta is held, is confident that all events can be pulled off in first class style. Anyone interested in any of the events may inquire of any of the canoe club members.

Prof. Landrum in Chapel.
Prof. R. D. Landrum spoke in chapel this morning in regard to the opportunities in the business world for students of chemistry. Not only do the federal and state governments furnish many openings for graduates trained in the different chemistry courses, but the larger cities now furnish employment to men as city chemists and chemical engineers. Furthermore packing houses and manufacturers are employing chemists to show them how to use by-products which produce an income to the employer. Mr. Landrum also referred to the unique position of the University of Kansas in relation to instruction in Chemistry because in this institution was originated the industrial fellowship scheme which has been more thoroughly developed here than in any other university in the world.

Gold Medal for Debating in Lion's Den Friday Night.
Friday night of this week Captain Cardona of the Parker Jungle Show will offer a gold medal for the winner of a debate to be held in the show. The subject for the debate will be a discussion of something relating to either lions or leopards. The debaters must do their talking in the lion's den but the trainer will be with them.
The "Old Maid's Convention" is the pathetic entertainment of the Parker shows. It is real and affords the spectator a laugh though he knows that he is "stung". The show announcer said that he knew he was stinging the people but that the joke was such a good one he could not keep it.

HIGH SCHOOL LADS SATURDAY
ANNUAL INVITATION MEET ON McCOOK.
Seven Schools With 104 Entries —Four Missouri Schools to Compete This Year.
Next Saturday afternoon the second annual Invitation track meet for high schools of the Missouri valley will be held on McCook field. Seven schools have entered men in the meet and the total number of entries is one hundred and four. For a number of years the schools which will take part in this meet, took part in the regular annual inter-scholastic meets but, being larger schools and thus turning out a faster class of athletes, they were capturing the large end of the honor roll. In fact the meet was practically a dual meet between Manual and Central high schools of Kansas City. In order to avoid this seemingly unfair division of track trophies, Manager Lansdon planned last spring for a separate meet including these high schools and the University freshman track team. The first meet last spring was successful in answering the purpose for which it was created.
The schools which will be represented in the meet this spring and the number of men they will send follow: Central, of Kansas City, 21; Manual, of Kansas City, 18; Westport, of Kansas City, 14; Lawrence, 22; University Freshmen, 17; Wentworth Military Academy, 6; and Perry, 6.
NO HELP NEEDED
May Music Festival Paid for Itself with University Guaranty.
A final summing up of the receipts and expenditures of the May Music Festival shows a small deficit which, however, will be eliminated by the guaranty put up by the University. This makes a step forward in the growth of the popularity of the annual Festival, as before the outside guarantors have been called upon to make good a large deficit.
The sale of student tickets this year was larger than that of last year; in all, three hundred and thirty-eight were sold. Last year but two hundred and seventy-four were sold, making an increase of sixty-four tickets.
Preparing for State Board.
The Senior Laws are beginning to prepare their petitions to the supreme court for admission to the bar and to send applications for examination by the State Board of Bar examiners to be held in Topeka about June 20.

JAYHAWKERS AND CORNHUS-KERS WILL CLASH.
Coach Hagerman Expects his Athletes to Carry off First Honors—
Team Leaves Tomorrow Noon.
Coach Hagerman will leave tomorrow morning at 11:08 with fifteen of his picked track athletes for Lincoln where they will meet the track team of Nebraska university Saturday afternoon. The men who will make the trip are Newbold, Haddock, Johnson, Martindell, Hamilton, Smith, Badger, Bergen, Cooley, Clark, Thompson, Meyer, Wood, Winter, and Wenger.
The coach said this morning that he felt safe in saying that the University would take 8 firsts, tie for another, and take 5 seconds, thus winning the meet easily. He said that he expected to take 65 points by winning first place in the low hurdles, the hundred yard dash, the two-twenty, the half mile, the mile, the broad jump, the pole vault, and the high jump; and by taking second place in the high hurdles, the quarter, the two mile, the shot put and the discus.
The athletes are enthusiastic over the meet and all believe that victory is assured. The dope now stands that if Kansas takes this meet it will place the team on a high plane in Missouri track athletics, since Iowa tied Minnesota on May 8th and Minnesota was defeated by Nebraska on the 15th, so that it is now up to Kansas to defeat Nebraska and make good.
Manager Lansdon and the trainer will also accompany the team. Saturday night's issue of the Kansan will contain a brief account of the meet in case it is completed by five o'clock.
LOST CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TO MISSOURI
The Jayhawker base ball team was defeated yesterday afternoon at Columbia, Missouri, by the Tiger team. At the final round-up the score was 7 to 1. Harlan was in the box for Kansas but was off color and Farrell replaced him in the eighth inning. This was the championship game.
The teams play again this afternoon.

BIG BANQUET IS NEXT WEEK
Y. M. C. A. WILL ENTERTAIN ONE HUNDRED GUESTS.
Those Who Expect to Attend Should Get Tickets at once Admission $1.
The committees in charge of the banquet to be given in the gymnasium next Wednesday evening in honor of the track team, basket ball and base ball teams, the debaters and the members of the band are completing arrangements to make the occasion enjoyable for all who attend. The men who have represented the University in these various capacities have a large acquaintance among the students who in turn should show their loyalty to the school by attending and honoring their representatives at this banquet.
As it was necessary to select a midweek date for the banquet the committee plans to have the supper begin promptly at 6:30 and that with the addition of the speeches every one may yet leave the gymnasium by 9:30 thus leaving a part of the evening for study.
Tickets at $1 each are on sale at the check stand and at several of the boarding houses. The committee wishes students to buy tickets at once so that proper orders may be given to the caterer by Saturday night.
MASS MEETING WILL BE HELD LAST WEEK
Action was taken concerning the canoe club "K's." It was decided that malicious misrepresentation was not intended by the club and the council suggested an explanation in the Annual if the plan was feasible.
The Student Council held its regular meeting Tuesday evening. Representatives from the Law and Pharmic schools were present. An amendment to the constitution providing for the qualification of officers of the council to be reduced from five semesters' work to one semester was proposed. A mass meeting will be held in two weeks.
At Board of Health Meeting.
Last Tuesday Professors Bailey and Sayre, of the Chemistry department, and Professor Willard of the State Agricultural College, met in Topeka with the State Board of Health to raise the standards of foods and drugs. This revision was necessary because of the new state law respecting pure foods which goes into effect next month.
Miss Hannah Mitchell will entertain the Chi Omegas with an informal dance May 21, at the home of Mrs. J. H. Mitchell.
ANNUAL REGATTA
WILL BE HELD ON KAW SATURDAY
Canoe Club has Charge of Sports Individual Cup for Most Points
The second annual regatta on the "Kaw" is to be held Saturday morning at 9 o'clock under the auspices of the canoe club. More than fifty entries have been made. A silver loving cup will be presented by the canoe club to the highest individual point winner. Before the regatta starts, there is to be a parade of all the contestants.
There will be a quarter mile swimming race, a 100 yd. dash and a long distance dive. The events for boats and canoes are: $ \frac{1}{4} $ mile double-boat; $ \frac{1}{4} $ mile single-boat; $ \frac{1}{4} $ mile, mixed-boy and girl; $ \frac{1}{4} $ mile double-canoe; 220 yd. dash, single canoe; 220 yd. dash, mixed, boy and girl; 100 yd. dash, standing in canoe and $ \frac{1}{2} $ mile race for five crew boats.
Besides these events, there will be tilting contest in canoes, greased boom walking and rescue and reviving demonstrations. Several of the fastest launches on the river will have races.
It has been rumored that the Canoe Club members will wear their "K's" in the regatta but commodore Power, who is at the head of the club, said in an interview with a Kansan reporter this morning, that such a thing would not happen. He also said that the club members are willing to do anything expedient in rectifying their blunder.
A LARGE VOTE CAST AT GIRL'S ELECTION
The following officers of the Women's Student Government Association were elected Wednesday: President, Maybeth Parker; first vice-president, Pearl Stucky; second vice-president, Kate Hart; third vicepresident, Keene Fones; secretary, Mable Evans; treasurer, Helen Philips. The contest was close, Pearl Stucky receiving only one more vote than Kate Hart and this makes Miss Stucky the president for next year.
The executive committee will go to work at once to divide the town into districts and will appoint district chairman to hold the office until next fall.
Great interest was shown by the girls. There were about 370 votes cast.
Miss Margorie Bodle, a Sophomore in the College, returned to her home at Meade, Kansas, today, on account of sickness.

TURN THE LIGHT ON
CLASS BUSINESS
The Junior class this year has set a valuable precedent that other classes and organizations would do well to follow. Never before this year has the entire business of a class been made public and the good work now started should be kept up. Publicity can do away with several disagreeable features connected with class management and while, of course, with publicity none of the officers would be able to pay his way through school by appropriating to himself a share of the funds in the class coffer, other arguments outweigh that one objection. The members of a class like to know just what was done with their cash and it is only fair that they should know.
The Student Council did well to recommend that a mass meeting of students be called to lower the residence requirement of officers from five to one semester. When the new election is called next fall all the schools will doubtless elect representatives and the council will begin to be a force.
Elizabeth Wagstaff.
Elizabeth Wagstaff, a former University student, died in a sanitarium at Independence, Kansas, Tuesday. Her death was caused by Brights disease.
Commencement Invitations.
Commencement invitations are expected Monday, (May 24), or Tuesday, (May 25). Notice will be posted at the check stand where the invitations will be on sale as soon as they are received.
The Alpha Taus have pledged Wayne Long of Mound City, Kansas.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, of the State Board of Health, is at the University for consultation in matters concerned with the tuberculosis campaign.
Joe Eson of Kingman is visiting his sister, Gertrude Eson.
TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Will Be Over Saturday-An Interclass Meet Later.
Next Saturday will be the end of the tennis tournament that has been going on for the past two weeks. At the present time H. L. Richardson, Burnett, and Motz are in the lead, none of them having lost a game. Doubtless these three will get places on the regular squad.
Morton, who is an experienced player, was badly out of form at the beginning of the tournament but is rapidly getting into shape. Hetrick also is putting up a good game. In all thirteen men have entered but several have defaulted.
It is the intention of the management to choose the five finishing first in this contest to pair off with the Varsity players and next week to hold an inter-class tournament.
Miss Cone's Recital.
Miss Margaret Cone gave a graduating recital in Fraser Hall May 18. Among the most pleasing numbers was the Prelude in G. Minor by Rachmani-moff which was well rendered. Miss Cone was assisted by Miss Dunn, violinist of Ottawa and Miss Cook, accompanist, of Lawrence.
All Seniors and Graduate students who expect to wear Caps and Gowns commencement week must leave their measurements at the check stand before Friday night.

The Nebraska tennis team consisting of four men, will meet the University team, composed of Watson, Bigelow Wood, and one other man yet to be chosen, on McCook courts Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Four matches of singles and two of doubles will be played.
A telegram was received by Manager Bigelow this morning from the manager of the Missouri squad, accepting a proposition to play here a week from next Saturday, May 29.
Both of these matches will give opportunity for the members of this year's team who have not yet earned their "K's" to do so by winning one match in either of the inter-state tournaments.

Quarreled Too Long.
The annual freshman-sophomore debate has been called off because of the failure of the two teams to come to an agreement on the time allowed the speakers. In past years the time has without exception been eight minutes as six speeches of greater length would make the debate irksome to the audience. The freshmen this year insisted on fifteen minutes and the debate has been called off. Debating ethics say that the freshmen have forfeited the debate to the sophomores by default.

MANUAL WON ANNUAL MEET
WOODBURY WAS STAR INDIVIDUAL POINT WINNER.
Eight Schools Entered the Second Invitation Meet. Loving Cups and Medals Awarded.
Seven Academic schools and the University freshmen, including in all ninety-seven athletes, took part in the second annual invitation track meet held on McCook field this afternoon.
The attendance was fair and included for the most part high school enthusiasts, who carried with them an abundant supply of pennants, banners and high school yells.
The score of the schools entered was as follows: Manual 47, Central 36, Freshmen 21 1-2, Wentworth 14, Westport 8 1-2, Lawrence 5, Perry 5, Overbrook 5. The individual high scores were: Woodbury of Central 16 1-2; Kanatzer of Manual 13; Craig of Manual 10; and Wyatt of Wentworth 10.
The work of Woodbury, the great Central athlete, was easily the star performance of the meet. Stark, the Perry broad jumper, made a leap of 21 feet 4 inches, eight inches above the inter-scholastic mark. Kanatzer, the Manual weight man, took his customary points in his events in his usual phenomenal fashion.
Loving cups and medals were awarded on McCook after the meet was over.

HELD REGATTA
ANNUAL WATER SPORTS PULL ED OFF THIS MORNING.
Loving Cup to John Long for Highest Score. Parker's Band Furnished Music.
The second annual regatta, under the auspices of the Canoe club, was held on the Kaw river this morning at 9 o'clock. The silver loving cup offered to the person making the highest individual score went to John Long, who took thirteen points. The second highest score was eleven points made by Fisher and third place was taken by Abernathy with ten points.
Quite a demonstration was made before the regatta started by a parade of the contestants and music during the greater part of the time was furnished by Parker's Carnival Band.
The events and the winners follow:
Quarter mile double canoe Long Brothers. Time 1:59-2.
Quarter mile single boat Fisher. Time 2:10-2.
Quarter mile mixed boat— "Pid" Pearson and Agnes Greenlees. Time 1:42-1.
220 yard, mixed canoe—Emile Grignard and Edna Gafford.
Quarter mile swim—Abernathy.
Quarter mile double boat Wood and Russell. Time 1:45.
Hundred yard swim—Abernathy.
Hundred yard canoe single standing—Long.

Tilting—Long brothers.
LOST TWO MORE.
Missouri Took Second Game and Washington Won First.
Thursday afternoon the Jayhawker baseball team met defeat again at the hands of the speedy Tigers. The score was 11 to 2. The loss of the game was due to the poor playing of the Kansas men and the superb work of the Missourians.
Yesterday afternoon the Washington team of St. Louis whipped the 'Varsity by a score of 9 to 2. This afternoon's game counts on the championship series.
R. J. Shetlar, of Conway Springs, who was forced to withdraw from school early last fall on account of his eyes, visited the Law school Tuesday. He will resume his University work next year.
PLAYED LOVE AND FOOTBALL
"IZMIENA" FEATURED MAIN POINTS OF K. U. LIFE.
Seniors' Clever Play Took Well before Crowded Houses.—Annual Was Well Received.
This year's senior play "Izmiena" which was put on for two highly successful performances Thursday and last night, had for its theme the complications which ensue when professionalism, gambling and rivalry in love become involved in a college football situation. The scene was laid at the University of Kansas and the time was any time. The play was saturated with the University atmosphere and a few keen personal hits heightened the local color. "Izmiena" was not especially difficult of interpretation as all the situations were such as the cast had become familiar with in the course of their four years' sojourn on the hill, but the work was all cleverly done and the interest of the play was sustained throughout.
Keith Clevenger as the villain and traitor, which in Russian is "Izmiena," carried the most difficult role. The scenes between Miss Ruby Phillips and Harry McClure, the hero and heroine of the play, and Miss Gertrude Copley and Tom Gowenlock as the principals in another University "case," were played with skill and effect.
Miss Alma Manley as the gushing freshman and Buster Brown as the gastronomic wonder, played the comedy parts and never failed to raise a laugh. Marlin Poindexter portrayed well the moneyed "sport" to whom the game means only money. Other parts were taken creditably by Miss Amarette Weaver, Miss Jessie Baldridge, Miss Nadia Thomas, Miss Grace Hornaday, Miss Gertrude Eson, Miss Elizabroke Stephens, Ward Cook, Paul Farragher, Fred Hesser, Harold Armsby, Leonard Pulliam, Billy Rice, Merle Prunty, and Ward Coble.
Paul Farragher was the chairman of the committee which produced the play. The other members were Miss Alma Manley, Miss Amarette Weaver

LACK INTEREST
STUDENTS HAVE NOT PURCHASED TICKETS YET.
"K's" and Emblems to be Awarded at the Big Y. M. C. A. Banquet Wednesday.
The members of the various athletic teams who are entitled to K's for their work during the season will receive them next Wednesday evening at the banquet to be held in honor of the University's representatives. Possibly the baseball players will not be included because the season is not yet over. The 'varsity debaters will also receive the emblems which have been secured for them.
Chancellor Strong will preside as toast master and responses will be make by Dean Green, Manager J. M. Lansdon, the athletic coaches, Prof. D. L. Thomas of the Debating Council, and Ralph Spotts on behalf of the student body.
The committee in charge of the banquet has been disappointed by the lack of interest thus far manifested by the students. If the occasion is to be made the success which so desireable a University function deserves it will be necessary for many students to buy tickets or to notify some member of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet of their positive intention to do so this evening or by chapel time Monday morning.
Visiting Dean Sayre.
The President of the National Association of United States Pharmacists, Professor Joseph P. Remington, of Philadelphia, is expected here today. He will remain until Monday as the guest of Professor Sayre, when he will go to Independence, Kansas to address the State Pharmaceutical Association. Professor Remington is dean of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and is one of the big men of his profession in the United States.
Will Go to Europe.
Miss Maude Cooke of the Fine Arts department will sail for Europe, June 3. She expects to spend the summer studying with an eminent artist in Berlin. Miss Cook will return to K. U. next fall to continue her work as instructor in piano.

NOW FOR A POLITICAL REFORM
Before it ends its work for this year the Student Council should make some arrangements for the class elections next fall. There should be a definite day set aside a few weeks after the opening of the term on which all the class officers should be chosen according to the Australian ballot system after having been nominated in some fair way. Only the "wardhealers" and mugwump politicians are opposed to a fair election system by which all candidates will be given an equal chance and all students an equal opportunity to exercise their voting privilege. Students in a University should at least practice as much virtue in politics as the professionals out over the state. A little light on the subject will be welcomed by most students.
The class of 1909 has made its final bow to most of us and, excepting commencement week, has completed its activity at the University. Naught-nine is the largest class that has ever completed the University course, and in many ways it is also the best. In every line of student life and activity the young women and young men of '09 have done their part and a little more. Everything that the class has undertaken has borne success and for achievement in all endeavor the class of '09 will always have a high rank. ___
And now the Tigers have captured the base ball series from Kansas. We wonder if the managers of the two schools for the sake of variety changed the regular course of events
and allowed Kansas for once to win in track while Missouri was given a chance to romp away with the base ball championship.

KEMP TALKED TO LIONS.
"Windy" Keilman, of Democrat, Will Repeat "Stunt" Tonight.
In response to the announcement in Tuesday's Kansan Harry Kemp, the University poet, entered the lion's den of the Parker Jungle show last night and discussed the subject, "Lions," before two large lions. The lady trainer stood guard while he talked. Kemp was the least bit excited but still he had nerve enough to read a poem which he had written for the occasion. The last of the poem, "So long, old sport, I've got to say good-bye," was well expressed.
"Windy" Keilman, reporter for the Lawrence Daily Democrat, gave the show manager an announcement after Kemp's performance stating that he would enter the lion's den tonight with five full grown lions and repeat the poet's "stunt." Another condition of tonight's performance is that the dare-devil reporter will enter the arena alone.
Keilman is a sophomore in the College and Harry Kemp has been a student at the University until recently.

E. W. THOMPSON AT CHAPEL.
Topeka Insurance Man on French Canadian Character and Dialect.
Mr. E. W. Thompson, manager of the Topeka office of the New York Life Insurance Company, was responsible yesterday morning for an entertaining chapel exercise by giving three recitations illustrative of French Canadian character and dialect. He began by reciting a French Canadian's story of the prowess of his fellow countryman, Nanoleon Lajoie, in his youth as he won the game for the Fall River, Mass., ball team one Fourth of July. Mr. Thompson entered into the spirit of the ball game and the Canadian's account of it with a vigor that a professional elocutionist might well envy.
Before reciting two poems of the late Dr. William H. Drummond, of Montreal, Mr. Thompson briefly told the history of the French inhabitants of the lower St. Lawrence valley. Natives of Normandy in France had been forced by the conquering British to use the English language without receiving any adequate instruction in it. Thus the people speak a combination of poor English and bad French but they largely retain the simple life of their ancestors. The second poem was a pleasing description of a mountain trout lake written by Dr. Drummond in his office on a summer day when he would have preferred enjoying the beauties of the lake.

The 1909 Jayhawker was placed on sale at the play. The ancient faculty pictures which have so long done duty were replaced in this year's book by snap shots, and all the other pictures are new. All the departments of University activity are covered, and the literary department is unusually keen and well written. The tenderest spot of each University celebrity was sought out unerringly and the squirming that has been going on since the book appeared is a tribute to its editors.

KANSAS ATHLETES WERE IN GREAT FORM.
Protest Necessary in Order to Get Square Decision—Haskell Meet Next Saturday.
Last Saturday afternoon coach Hagerman's trusty track athletes trounced the Cornhusker team on the Nebraska track at Lincoln. At the close of the meet the officials decided that the final score was 59 to 58 in favor of Nebraska. In order to get this, though, Dr. Clapp the Nebraska coach, insisted that the tie which had resulted from the high jump be decided. The tie was jumped off and Kansas lost.
Hagerman protested the legality of the referee's decision. On account of a shortage of rule books the referee promised the Kansas coach that he would change his decision in case a book was sent to him designating the rule. Hagerman has sent the book and is awaiting an answer.
There are two rules covering the argument. One, rule two, of the Inter-collegiate rules which designates the number of points each place is entitled to followed by a clause stating that in case of a tie the points shall be equally divided among the contestants. The other rule is that concerning the high jump which states that no contestant for points shall attempt to jump a bar at the same height more than three times.
"It was a raw deal. Merely a case of trying to beat us out of a rightful victory," is the sentiment expressed by the men who took the trip. Dr. Clapp is the one who was blamed for the trouble by the Kansans.
Kansas took six firsts and tied for another, and eight seconds and a tie for another. The firsts were made in the hundred yard dash, the two twenty, the shot put, the mile, the broad jump, and the high jump, and the tie was in the pole vault. The second places were taken in the quarter, the half, the mile, the two mile, low hurdles, broad jump, discus, and hammer and the tie was in the high jump. Tne only record made by

One round of nine holes will be played in the qualifying round, and the sixteen players with the lowest scores will be paired off for the first round of the tournament on the following day, Thursday.

Nine holes will be played in each round, except when a tie occurs, and except in the finals, when eighteen holes will be played.
A card showing the pairing of the players and the progress of the tournament will be posted on the bulletin board of the University gymnasium, for the information of those entered in the tournament.

KANSAS TOOK AGGIE SERIES
PLAY FINAL GAMES WITH NEBRASKA THIS WEEK.
Kansas and Nebraska for Championship—Missouri Bringing Up the Rear.
Yesterday afternoon on McCook the Jayhawker baseball team with Harlan in the box, walloped the Aggie ball team by the score of 4 to 2. The game was played on a wet and sloppy diamond, but neither team made a single bobble. Baird, the Aggie twirler, was not in his best form and his wildness at critical times cost his school the game. Kansas took one contest from Manhattan earlier in the year and yesterday's game gave Kansas the series with two games to one.
Friday and Saturday of this week the Kansas team finishes the season with two games against the Nebraska team at Lincoln. The result of the conference championship depends on the championship game of the series. So far Nebraska has won two championship games from Missouri, and lost one to Kansas. If Nebraska wins this week her standing will be three games won and one lost for a standing of 750. If Kansas wins the game her standing will be four won and two lost for a percentage of 666.
Missouri is now hopelessly out of the championship running. The Tigers have won a game from Kansas and Washington, and have dropped a contest to both Kansas and Washington and let Nebraska take two from them for a standing of only 333. Neither Kansas or Nebraska can possibly go below the 500 mark.
Nebraska has played games with Ames and Drake and these contests will have to be considered in the final figuring and it looks as though Nebraska had the best claim to the premier honors with Kansas a possible contestant and with Missouri bringing up the rear.
W. R. B. Robertson of the Zoological department has been unable to put in his appearance on the Hill so far this week on account of sickness.
IS PLEASED
PROFESSOR WALKER SAYS MACHINERY IS GOOD.
The Tests Made Prove New Power Plant Equipment To Be Satisfactory.
The test of the new power plant machinery, made on May 7 and 8, showed not only the operating qualities of the machinery but also a most satisfactory condition.
The main engines gave excellent service. The large, cross compound Ball engine, during a measured run of four hours at three-quarter load, exceeded the builders' guarantee for economy in steam consumption by a safe margin. In this condition, it developed power while using but 54.3 per cent as much steam as the best engine now in use in the old plant.
The new steam turbine and alternator were operated for nine consecutive hours and might have continued indefinitely. Professor P. F. Walker says, "The machine gives excellent satisfaction and is brought into service with a smoothness and ease which contrasts with the time required to adjust the usual type of engine most favorably." Owing to an accident to one of the small pumps, the steam consumption could not be determined under regular conditions. The turbine, being a smaller machine, will not be quite as economical as the compound engine.
The boiler room equipment has not yet been worked down to its best condition. The test there was incomplete as to economy but everything operated satisfactorily.
Freshman 8 Wentworth 2.
Saturday afternoon on McCook field the freshman baseball team walloped the Wentworth Military Academy team to the tune of 8 to 2. The freshmen clouted the ball like old timers. Doyle pttched a good game allowing the khaki kids but two hits.

TUESDAY, MAY 25,1909
Kansas has caused quite a surprise in conference track athletics this year. The victories over Missouri and Nebraska make it seem certain that the Jayhawkers will stand high in the Des Moines meet. Captain Newbold's aggregation of track athletes are stronger than Missouri, Nebraska, Washington, and Iowa and it looks as though Ames is the only school that Kansas has to fear in the big meet.
It is unfortunate that the contemplated Y. M. C. A. banquet could not be made a go but the result was not due to any prevalent lack of interest among the students. The banquet came at a bad time of the year when there is already a surfeit of entertainment and when all the students are making a frantic endeavor to come in on the home stretch with a grand burst of speed.
Any one who does not believe that students study for at least a few days in the year should casually drop into the library some time this week. Every chair in the whole building is occupied these days by those who are making a last effort to pull over the final shoals of destruction, and make a standing in their studies by a strong pull in the last part of the long course. ___
And now Missouri comes forward with a claim to the base ball championship of the Conference. We can not help but wonder what they would claim if their standing of championship games won was as high as either Kansas's or Nebraska's.
School is now nearly out and still nothing has been definitely
decided about a track coach. Is it possible that the powers that be will let the matter slide until it is too late to obtain the services of a man who can do the position justice?

BANQUET CALLED OFF.
Students Are too Busy to Entertain University Heroes.
After thoroughly considering the situation, the Y. M. C. A. has decided that it was necessary to give up the plan for a University banquet to the athletic teams, the band, and the debaters which was to have been held Wednesday evening.
The students very largely seem too busy and too short of coin to give of their time and money for even so good a proposition as a banquet in honor of the band and the University's representatives in inter-collegiate events. The Y. M. C. A. is not in a position to give such an entertainment without the financial backing of the students and furthermore did not wish to arrange for a distinctly University event of this kind unless the attendance was certain to be worthy of the occasion.
On the other hand the boys to whom the banquet was to be given do not wish any function which would be a fizzle from lack of appreciation by the student body.

So happy indeed was the affair that it will remain no small part of the glory so bountifully bestowed upon the team. The old feeling of good fellowship so characteristic of this year's team was particularly manifest. After three hours of joy and feasting had passed, the boys of the ever victorious team of '08 separated from what was perhaps their last dinner together.

Dean Skilton in Chapel.
Professor C. S. Skilton spoke in chapel this morning on "Music as history." As usually written history is a record of political events and the movements of men and nations without giving an adequate expression of the inner life of mankind. This lack is supplied by music which is thus important to supplement ordinary history. Dean Skilton mentioned the influence of song upon the French Revolution and cited Beethoven's symphonies as a good expression of the views of the Germans towards the French Revolution. One of the most complete historical interpretations of a country was made of Poland by Chopin. The different compositions of this composer presented various phases of the life of his people. Dean Skilton concluded his address by having Miss Charlotte Anderson, a senior in the school of Fine Arts, play "The Revolutionary Etude" written by Chopin in Paris when he heard of an effort for liberty in Poland.
Novel Form of Commencement.
The senior class of the Frankfort high school is indulging in a novel form of commencement exercises this week by visiting several institutions of the state. Beginning early Monday morning the members of the class traveled by automobile and train from Frankfort to Manhattan where they spent the afternoon inspecting the State Agricultural College. Today they have been in Topeka taking in the sights of the capitol, the insane asylum, the reform school, and visiting Washburn. The students will come to Lawrence tomorrow morning and spend the day inspecting the different departments of the University. They will next spend two days in Kansas City in visiting many places of interest. They will be in Leavenworth Saturday and return to Frankfort that evening via Atchison.
Eugene McNeal, Eugene Hipple, Walter LeClere, Spencer Baird, Claud Clay, Herbert Woleslagle, all of Allemania, attended the ball game in Topeka Sunday. "Dick" Kaufman, a former German Club member, pitched a winning game for Topeka.

The driver of the machine behind Griesa was not watching the road and ran headon into Griesa's car, disabling it so much that he was forced to leave it in the country.

WILL TRY NEW PLAN
TRACK MEET WITH HASKELL AN EXPERIMENT.
Coach Hopes to Win the Conference Meet at Des Moines-Election of Captain after Meet.
"The track meet with Haskell Institute on McCook Field next Saturday afternoon will be used simply as a sort of work out for the men before the Conference meet at DesMoines on the 4th and 5th of next month," said Coach Hagerman this week.
Despite this fact the Coach is confident that Kansas will win the meet easily, although by the plan of each man contesting only in his one particular event the score will not be as large as it otherwise would be.
A week from today the sixteen star track athletes will leave for DesMoines with Coach Hagerman and Manager Lansdon to compete in the Conference meet there Friday. The Coach, the Manager and the team are all confident that Kansas will make good in this big meet. Hagerman is as optimistic as usual and believes that Kansas has a good chance to win. Manager Lansdon said this morning that he believed that a conservative estimate would give Kansas thirty-seven points and that that number should win the meet without a doubt. He expects to take first place in the hundred yard dash, the two twenty, the broad jump and the pole vault, and second place in the half, the shot put, the low hurdles and the broad jump and enough other points to make the number he estimates.
"Of course," he said, "there are some schools in this meet that we are not well acquainted with in the track line and they might surprise us in some of the events, but from what we can find out I believe I am safe in saying that we will take the meet."
Concerning the Nebraska meet of last Saturday Manager Lansdon said, "I have not heard from Manager Eager up to this time saying that the meet had been awarded to us as he agreed to do when the rule concerning the controversy was pro-

INVITATIONS OUT
SENIORS SENDING OUT COMMENCEMENT NOTICES.
Consists of Invitation and Information Booklet-Over 3000 Have Been Disposed of.
The invitations for the thirty-ninth annual commencement exercises of the University have arrived. In addition to the invitation, there is a thirty-two page booklet, with the University seal on the front cover in gold, red and blue, and also "University of Kansas, 1909" in gold. The senior class officers are given, the chairmen of the senior committees and the officers of the schools of medicine, law, and pharmacy. Then a list is given of all those who will receive degrees this year from the various schools.
H. H. McCully has had charge of the work of compiling the material for the invitations. On account of incomplete records in the registrar's office concerning the fine arts graduates, the information booklet did not give the degree which is to be conferred on the seniors. To do away with any possibility of a misunderstanding concerning this point Mr. McCully has ordered two hundred and fifty additional copies to be used by the fine arts people.
CHEMICAL FRAT. TO BE INSTALLED HERE
A local chapter of the National chemical fraternity, Alpha Chi Sigma, will be installed at the University of Kansas next Saturday. Dr. J. H. Mathews, physical chemist in the University of Wisconsin, and L. S. Palmer, a member of the chapter at the University of Missouri and one of the national officers of the fraternity, will be here to conduct the installation ceremonies. The fraternity is professional in its character and has chapters at most of the western universities and at a few in the East.
The charter members of the organization which has been organized in Kansas are fourteen in number: Paul Faragher, Fred Bruckmiller, Fred Padgett, Edward Weidlein, Alfred Budd, Bert Frichot, Henry Kohlman, Charles Hoffman, Archie Wieth, George Wieth, Frank Brock, Paul Parmallee, Howard Calderwood and Maurice Bredenthal.
PREPARATIONS ARE COMPLETE
SENIORS ARE NOW READY FOR CLASS DAY.
The Annual Farce Will Be Given in the Evening-Morning Program Same as Usual.
The big feature of class day this year will be the senior farce, a one act operetta. entitled "Trial by Jury", by Arthur Sullivan. Up to last year, the farces have been farces in the true sense of the word. But this year, everybody is enthusiastic over the prospects of the little comedy, which is being directed by Miss Augusta Flintom. Archie Naramore is assistant musical director.
The stage will be placed west of Fraser Hall, facing Snow Hall. The senior electrical engineers will have charge of the electric wiring work. The farce will begin promptly at 7:30 o'clock on June 8, instead of 7:45 as stated in the commencement program.
The members of the cast are Guy Mosher, Dan Nevinger, Roy Douglas, Merle Prunty, Abraham Van Meter; Fred Hesser, Tom Gowenlock, Paul Faragher, Roy Simpson, August Krehbiel, Harry Herman, and Archie Naramore, who is the leading man, Nola Ayres, Sibyl Betts, Ruby Hosford, Grace Warner, Maude Katherman, Bertha Kilworth, Lola Smart, Grace Hornaday and Gertrude Copley, who is leading lady.
The day part of the class day program is along the same line as that usually given. The representatives of the various schools, both faculty and senior and the special features of the program follow:
Address to Buildings and Farewell Song, Campus, 8:30 a. m.

LAST GAMES
WILL BE PLAYED WITH CORNHUSKERS.
Jayhawkers Still Have a Chance for Baseball Championship- Play Friday and Saturday.
This afternoon the Kansas baseball team left for its last trip of the season. A two game series will be played with Nebraska University tomorrow and Saturday. If Kansas can win the championship game she will be entitled to the championship of the southern section of the Missouri Valley Conference and may possibly be a contender for the honors of the whole valley.
Judging from the caliber of baseball that the Cornhuskers were putting up when they were here the Jayhawkers should find no trouble in taking both games of the series. Before leaving the championship game had not been decided upon by the Kansans.
Coach Ebright thinks that his team has come out of the stalenness which was so evident on the southern trip. He also thinks that the Nebraska team is not in a class with Missourians.
The men who made the trip besides the manager and coach are: Rockefeller, Walker, Gibbs, Huff, Palmer, Wood, Carlson, Heizer, Farrell, Harlan and Burdick. Harlan will pitch the championship game and Heizer will hold down left field when he is not pitching.

A MEDIEVAL IDEA IN THIS CENTURY.
R. T. Crane, a rich Chicago manufacturer, in a letter to the Illinois legislature, said: "Instead of teaching young men to seek labor a University education causes him to despise it. I am prepared to say that such institutions are a positive curse. Instead of appropriating funds for the state university it would be much better for the state to put a torch to the institution and burn it down, and permit the boys to go to their homes and help support their families."
Such a statement is interesting since it comes from a man heretofore regarded as having great common sense and the good of his state at heart. The Chicago magnate would raise the old mediaeval idea of class privilege and shut out all students who, owing to scarcity of money, are forced to earn or borrow their education. Shutting the doors of opportunity to the poor would be only a step back to the middle ages and progressive America can only smile at the quaint and foolish philosophy of the Chicagoan. If he can get any pleasure from riding this hobby it should not be denied him, but his puny efforts to hinder the progress of civilization will be as unavailing as the attempt of the Danaids to dip water with a sieve.
This is now the time of year when the boarding houses begin to slack up on the refreshments served to the students thrice daily,when the landlady is not so particular about furnishing clean towels and cleaning up the rooms,when the barbers are not so particular about giving good shaves and fine haircuts,when the "shines only black shoes on the toes, and above all, when the noise and voice of the grafter is heard in the land trying to induce the unsuspecting freshman to sell that which he hath.
We sincerely hope that when the law students take the state examination they will be fortunate enough to cross the bar without hitting a snag.

Professor Spring was a resident of Lawrence for a number of years; he was pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church from 1875 to 1881, when he accepted the professorship of English Literature in the University, remaining until 1886 when his alma mater laid claim to his services.
The members of the senior class of the Lincoln county High School are visiting the University today. The trip is one of inspection and is a part of the graduating exercises of the class.
Rooming Houses must Qualify.
The University is making out a list of rooming places for girls next year. Those ladies who have not taken girls this year and who desire to do so next year are requested to hand in their names to the registrar at once.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 29, 1909
VOLUME V
THE BOARD WILL STUDY
NOPAPER WILL BE PUBLISHED QUIZ WEEK.
Next Years Plans are About Completed—First Issue Before Registration Begins.
Today's issue of the Kansan is the last one of this school year. The board decided not to publish the paper quiz week on account of the fact that every member of the staff wishes to be eligible to serve on the paper next year, for plans are on foot to make The Kansan next year the best newspaper that has ever been published at the University.
Next year The Kansan will be published tri-weekly as it has been this year but its size will be increased from a four page, four column, sixteen inch paper to a four page, five column, eighteen inch paper. This will give over one hundred inches of additional space each issue for the handling of the news about the hill. The classes in Journalism will be given one-fourth of the paper. They will handle department news and feature stories. On account of lack of space this year The Kansan has been compelled to slight this side of a college newspaper's work.
The departments which the management of The Kansan expect to have well handled next year are: University Notices, Otead News Notes, From Other Colleges, Afterthoughts, Society and feature stories. Mr. Flint, who has charge of the classes in Journalism expects to have his classes take charge of the work about the first of October.
The circulation department of the paper has about completed arrangements so that the paper will be delivered in all parts of the city next year. All the high schools of the state will be supplied again and the out of town subscription list will be increased to about five hundred. Notwithstanding this additional expense the regular subscription price will be the same, one dollar and fifty cents in advance.
The initial appearance of The Kansan next year will be on the Saturday before registration begins. The idea of publishing the paper so early is to give next year's freshmen an information bureau concerning the University, the town and the business men of the town.
NUMBER 96
The Kansan office next year will be in the room south of the east entrance of the basement of Fraser Hall. The office will be equipped with desks and tables and also a private telephone to McCook field.
A BIG EVENT
CONFERENCE MEET AT DES MOINES NEXT SATURDAY.
Eleven Schools entered—Kansas sends fifteen men—Coach elected next Tuesday.
One of the biggest track and field meets ever held in the Missouri Valley will be pulled off at Des Moines, Iowa next Friday and Saturday. In all eleven schools are entered. Many athletes are entered unattached.
The first day the preliminary races will be run. In order to qualify for the finals a runner must win his heat of the preliminaries and place in the semi-finals. There is a disadvantage of the best men being pitted against each other in the early races thus eliminating some of the best men from the finals.
The Kansas team composed of fifteen athletes leaves next Thursday for Des Moines. The men who make the trip are: Haddock, Newbold, Jonhson, Smith, Wood, Martindell, Cooley, Clark, Thompson, Meyers, Winters, Hamilton, Bergen, Wenger, and Badger. Each man will be required to do but one event in order to guard against accidents.
Should Kansas win this meet it will give her a clear title to the Missouri Valley Conference championship. Missouri and Nebraska have both been defeated but Ames, who won the meet last year, has a great team and no comparisons can be made.
Coach Hagerman thinks that Kansas has a good chance to win the meet provided the luck breaks even.
The commencement invitations which the seniors are sending out require four cents postage when sent first class. About 300 invitations were sent out yesterday bearing two cents postage. The recipients will be asked to pay two cents each "postage due" before they learn that they are invited to the commencement festivities.
At a meeting of the Athletic board next Tuesday it is expected that Coach W. O. Hamilton of Central high school, Kansas City, Missouri, will be elected to fill the vacancy caused by Hagerman's retirement.
They Didn't Ask.
At a meeting of the Thespian dramatic club held Thursday evening, the following officers were elected for next year: Ralph Spotts, president; George Richardson, vice-president; Fern Cramer, secretary and Thomas Lee, business manager.
Thespian Election.
APPRECIATION FOR HIS WORK
COACH HAGERMAN HAS ENDED HIS CAREER HERE.
Leaves with a Good Wish for Kansas.—Given Tokens of Remembrance.
The track meet with Haskell today closed J. P. Hagerman's work at the University as track coach. For three years he has tutored the K. U. track men, and as a climax to his work his athletes gave Missouri her first track defeat since the two schools have tangled in track work. Further, his track team has defeated Baker, K. S. A.C. and Nebraska. Unless dope is unusually deceiving his men will carry away high honors at the conference meet next Saturday. As a mark of appreciation for Hagerman's work as coach, the track team will present him with a sweater with a small sized track "K" on it.
The student body, through The Kansan, presented Coach Hagerman this afternoon after the Haskell-K. U. track meet with a $50 silver loving cup. Dan Nevinger, president of the Student Council, presented the cup. Gustafson made a special trip to Kansas City for the cup yesterday.
Hagerman has been general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for three years. During that time he has put new life into the association work. At the meeting Thursday evening, the Y.M.C.A.cabinet presented him with a gold seal on a leather fob. The sentiment shown by the large attendance and the spirit of the meeting was proof that Hagerman has won a place in the hearts of the University men by his conscientious work.
"To faculty and students, I wish to say but farewell, for 'tis my purpose to return to Mt. Oread to pursue a course of study and feel the thrill that can only come to one who is on the inside of this University life," was "Haig's" comment on the Udiversity. "I believe Kansas University is the foremost Christian institution in the State of Kansas. I count it a rare privilege to have been permitted to spend three of the most formative years of my life in this center of spirituality, culture and genuine college spirit."
Mr. and Mrs. Hagerman will leave for Los Angeles on June 6, where Mr. Hagerman will continue his association work.
The Thetas are wearing colors for Miss Lena Morrow, of Washington, Kansas.
LOST FIRST ONE
JAYHAWKERS WERE SHUT OUT YESTERDAY.
Cornhuskers Take Fast Game.- Championship Game Was Played Today.
Yesterday afternoon the Jayhawker baseball team lost the first game of a two game series to the Cornhuskers, on the latter's diamond at Lincoln. It was not only a defeat, but also a shut-out, the final score being 3 to 0. The game did not count on the championship series.
Burdick pitched for Kansas and held the Nebraskans down to six hits, but errors at critical times lost the game. Heizer and Burdick were responsible for the costly errors. Olmstead was the Cornhusker pitcher. He allowed the Jayhawkers but three hits and these were scattered. Twice the Jayhawkers were able to get a man on third base but each time the fast fielding of the Cornhuskers put an end to the Kansans' chances.
This afternoon the same teams are playing again, and the game counts on the championship. If Kansas loses, she loses the southern division honor, but still she will lead both Missouri and Washington. If victory comes to the Jayhawk camp another championship title will be placed along side of the ones in football, basketball and out-door track won this year.
The score by innings:
R H E
Nebraska —2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 x-3 6 2
Kansas —0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -0 3 4
Large Membership from Here.
A membership list of the Kansas City Section of the American Chemical Society which has just been published, shows that of the eighty nine members, twenty-eight reside in Lawrence, and forty-seven, or more than fifty per cent, are at present in the University, or have been associated with this institution. This association is similar in purpose to the student sections of the other scientific or engineering societies now in the University. It was founded in I900 by about twenty chemists in the vacinity of Kansas City and Lawrence. For the past two years monthly meetings have been held alternately in Kansas City and at the University. This arrangement enables the chemistry student here and the technical and manufacturing chemists of Kansas City to meet each other for mutual benefit.
Miss Jennie Fones, of Lyons is visiting Miss Keene Fones.
The Thetas have pledged Miss Martha Stough of Lawrence.
MASS MEETING WEDNESDAY
CALL FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Plan to let Pharmics and Laws be Eligible for offices on Student's council—Election next fall.
Next Wednesday noon, a mass meeting of the men of the University will be held to consider the advisability of changing the constitution of the student council. The students of the pharmacy and law schools seriously objected to that clause which stated that all candidates for offices of the council must have been in school five semesters. They held that this was unjust and unfair because it would exclude them from any office on the council.
After hearing the arguments of the two schools, the council deemed it advisable to call a meeting to consider an amendment which will eliminate the present difficulty. As far as can be ascertained, the general sentiment of the student body is in favor of such an amendment.
If the change is made, it will necessitate the suspension of the rules so that an election can be held next fall as soon as school opens. This will give the two schools an opportunity to have candidates out for the council offices.
At the Last Chapel.
A large crowd gathered for the last chapel exercises of the school year yesterday morning. Many of the seniors in cap and gown occupied the front seats which had been reserved for them. The University orchestra played two pleasing selections. The speaker was S. N. Simpson of Kansas City, Kas., who was one of the pioneer residents of Lawrence. In connection with his outline of the reasons for the erection of an Old Settlers Memorial Building to be placed on the campus, he told several interesting experiences of the early days in Lawrence. He gave the history of the naming of the city and mentioned several incidents in which Dr. Charles Robinson and other pioneers figured in protecting Lawrence from the pro-slavery men. Mr. Simpson was well pleased with the prospects for a memorial building for which he has received the promise of $5000 from Mrs. Governor Robinson. Others have promised $1000 each and he expects also to receive contributions in the east.

SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1909
With this number of The Kansan we bid our numerous patrons and readers a brief farewell. The past year in nearly every respect has been the most glorious that the University has ever enjoyed and there is no reason that the institution should not continue to grow and to prosper. The aim of all loyal Kansans is to make their leading school of learning the largest and best in the whole great west, and we, at least, have abundant faith in the ultimate consummation of this ideal. In order to keep pace with the growing importance of the school The Kansan next year, in conjunction with the classes in journalism, will issue a larger paper. The past year we have not been able to take care of the news on the hill, but next year with a five column triweekly the difficulty will be temporarily remedied. It is only a matter of time until an up-to-date daily will be an absolute necessity here and The Kansan staff will not hesitate to establish such a paper as soon as the plan can be made at all feasible.
In the departure of Coach J. P. Hagerman the University loses one of the most popular and conscientious men ever connected with the school. In his three years of faithful service as track coach and as Y. M.C. A. secretary Hagerman has made more than his normal share of friends and less than his share of enemies. He has not always been successful because he worked under difficulties, but through all the time he has given the University and the student body every ounce of energy and enthusiasm that was in him. Universally honored and loved by the men at Kansas Hagerman goes to his larger field in the far west to take up his favored work. Hagerman will always, we hope, remember with feeling and with gratitude
his years spent at Kansas. We know that as long as the members of the present student body look back over their University course in the years to come the fondest memories will cluster about Hagerman—a man who did all he could and gave all he had.
