TRIED HONOR SYSTEM.
Prof. C. E. McClung, head of the department of zoology, when asked his opinion of the honor system today, said :
Zoological Department Took the Initiative.
The honor system, which is being considered by the Student council, has received a trial in the Zoological department of the University of Kansas. Last term is was installed in all the classes in the department. It was used in both mid-term and final examinations.
"The greater per cent of students keep their word when placed upon their honor not to give or receive help during an examination. There is always a few who take great delight in using a pony in front of an instructor. It is a game of chance, and they wish to "beat the game." But I think under the honor system, where the instructor is not present, the student will be less liable to cheat.
"In places where the honor system is a success the amount of cheating has been reduced to a minimum. If the signing of the honor pledge at the end of an examination paper keeps the small per cent from cheating, of those students who will cheat under the present system.
LAW BANQUET TONIGHT.

WON VICTORY OVER BAKER
METHODISTS BEATEN IN 10 INNING GAME.
In Spite of Winter Weather K. U Won 3 to 2.—Haller's Batting the Feature.
NUMBER 87
The stalwart fans who journeyed down to Preacher-town yes yesterday were amply rewarded by seeing the lads in red and blue win the first extra inning game of the season by a score of 3 to 2 In spite of the cold the game was one of the best exhibitions that the "Micks" have put on this year.
The story runs thusly: In the second inning Hanlon laced out a double and was advanced to third by Smith's sacrifice. Haller ther pounded the ball into the garder and Slip slipped home. The Baker lads were not dejected by this little occurrence, but promptly came back with two runs. Kell walked, Delinger hit, and both men scored when two of the Oreads made errors.
The Kansas pastimers tied the score in the fourth and from there until the tenth inning the battle raged fiercely with neither side having the advantage. In the final act, with two men out, Haller put the ball out of the lot and had reached second station before the Baker fielders could run it down Huff came to the stick and pulled the game out of the fire with a pretty single.
The feature of the game was the batting of Haller. This gentle man landed on the pellet three times with such severity that he traveled two sacks each time be fore it could be relayed in.
Locke pitched a good game and the longer he went the better he got.
Batteries—K. U., Locke and Smith. Baker—Kell and Anderson.
Hits—Off Locke, 5; Off Kell, 7 Struck out—Locke 9, Kell, 5.

The Junior Prom of 1910 was undoubtedly the greatest Prom that as ever been given at the University of Kansas. With a single exception every feature in the esening's entertainment was worked out with great care, giving evidence that the experience of previous junior classes had been duly considered with a view to eliminating everything that might detract from the pleasure of the entertainment. The one evidence of aa flaw in the program for the evening was the delay which preceded the performance of the farce. The hitch was caused by the fact that some of the actors in the farce also stood in the receiving line and remained there long after it was time for the curtain to go up.
The problem is one easily solved. Next year the junior class can easily avoid a similar experience by parceling out the various tasks of the evening among a somewhat larger number of workers, for there is not likely to be a dearth of suitable material.
The girls at the State Normal school have taken up the fad of writing limericks, and Walt Mason warns them that "a limerick has got to be either good or rotten. There is no middle ground."
Ambassador Bryee delighted the University at Lawrence, as he did Grinnell College in Iowa on this trip and the Knife and Fork club at Kansas City. It used to be that America picked her wisest men to send to London and England's opinion of this country and popular friendliness to this country were greatly promoted by such men as Adams and Hawthorne, Lowell and Phelps and Bayard and Choate. With Ambassador Bryee England is paying us back. It may be hoped that
It may be a little hurtful to University pride not to have won a single debate this season, but it is particularly true of debating that some profit remains ever when decisions are lost.

Professor Edna R. Day of the department of household economies of the University of Missouri wants to all a course of instruction in millinery to her department. That wold ule a fine thing for the young women of Missouri who work their way through school. After taking the course they could make and sell a few "dreams" and "confections" and pay all the expenses of an education.
It now rests with the track athletes to prevent Missouri from adding another Kansas "cleanup" to her record this year.

Two hundred and fifty freshmen and sophomores of Northwestern University Friday night selected the banquet hall of the women's club in the Y. M. C. A. building at Evanston as the field for one of the most furious class battles that have ever taken place at the institution. After ten minutes of fighting a squad of police appeared on the scene and ended the battle. "The floor," says a news report, "was covered with the remnants of wrecked evening clothes, crushed flowers, muddied linen, broken furniture, shattered dishes, soups, entrees, and ices and a smear or two of human gore."
Figures recently prepared by the President of Chicago University show that at that institution from 10 to 17 per cent of the men

THE COLLEGE MAN.
A Few Views of a College
Man.
Bruce Bliven in writing in "The Fra" has relieved himself of a number of grudges he seems to have against institutions of higher education. In the "spasm" he says: "Hold onto the arms of your William Morris while I handle a little Warm Dope in to your ear from our own private thought-cannery—all anent the American college of today.
"The American college at the present time is an institution on the blink. The average boy comes to college with a copy of "Three Weeks" and a Beatty cigarette roller, and leaves at the end of four years—or as much more as his immediate progenitor will stand for—with nothing much more than the ability to tell a Gibson from a Martini in the dark, and in a state of health that is going to need a doctor's care the rest of his life.
"The college boy of today never takes off his coat except to go out and play ball in the road in front of his frat house, or when he sits in at an all-night poker game. Of course, there are exceptions everywhere, and in most any college you will find a few pale and high-souled youths with shiny pants, who sometimes write to Mother as well as to Dad; but the percentage is not high enough so that the college library needs three sets of Ruskin, or has to chain the volume of Browning to the reading table."
CHICAGO NEEDS $4,000,000.
President Judson Asks for 13 New Buildings.

PLAN FOR SELF-HELP
"Current Literature" Has Established Scholarship Fund for Needy Students.
Realizing that hundreds of capable young men and young women who, though in character and ability are entitled to every advantage of a higher education, are compelled to forego a college course on account of lack of funds, the Current Literature Magazine has been able to perfect a plan, by which it can enable an indefinite number of students to secure the money required to pay all necessary college expenses.
A
A Scholarship Fund, open to any young man or woman who has the proper recommendations, and available in any recognized college in the country, has been established. The plan has the endorsement of educators throughout the country, and the supervising board of the fund consists of six of the best known literary men in the United States. The Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, Ex-Vice President of the United States; Dr. David Starr Jordan, President of Leland Stanford, Jr., University; Mr. Elgin R. L. Gould, Ex-Chamberlain of New York City; Dr. John H. Finley, president of the College of the City of New York, and former professor of Politics in Princeton; Dr. Ethelbert Warfield, president of Lafayette College, and Dr. Edward S. Wheeler, editor of Current Literature.
The fund provides for an unlimited number of scholarships, worth $525 a year, for a four year course. There are at present 68 beneficiaries of the fund enrolled at 47 different colleges throughout the country, including 7 at Yale, 5 at Cornell, 1 at Harvard, and 1 at Dartmouth.
The project is endorsed by the Princeton Bureau of Students Self-Help.
The representative of the Current Literature Fund, Mr. J. W. Jefferis, may be interviewed Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon and evening of this week at the College Y. M. C. A.. Young women students will be interviewed in the Association Rest room. Fraser hall, between 1 and 2:30 p.m. on the same days. All University of Kansas students who are working their way through College are advised to see Mr. Jefferis, from whom further particulars may be obtained.
SPOKE TO Y. M. C. A.
J. T. Chafin Told of Settlement Work.
In speaking at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday evening about settlement work in Kansas City Superintendent J. T. Chafin of Franklin Institute emphasized the need of better family life to secure improved social conditions He spoke of the bad housing conditions of his district, against which the settlement's influence was exerted in various ways.
Mr. Chafin gave several examples of how he learned of the crime and needs of the community through members of a boys club, which met in the settlement home. By coming into close touch with the youth of his district, he and his associates are able to encourage the people to right living and give them higher ideas of living.
The German club gave its annual informal spring party last night in Fraternal Aid hall.
SENDING OUT CATALOGS.
5,000 of the Books Mailed Last Week.
Approximately 5,000 of the 12,000 general catalogs for 1999-10 to be issued by the state printer have been received and were mailed last week. The catalog are sent to all the state and judicial district officers of Kansas, to all the county superintendents of Kansas and Oklahoma and to each high school superintendent and principal in the state. A catalog is also sent to every member of the senior class in each of the high schools of the state. The alumni of the University are also on the mailing list. Quite a number of catalogs are sent out in response to requests received this spring and also to young people who wrote last year but did not follow up their inquiry by attending school here this year. 'Further, a catalog is mailed to all the other universities and colleges of the country.
These various demands will take about 8,000 of the year's supply and the remainder will be kept here for distribution from the registrar's office and for future requests. For several days prior to the receipt of the first shipment of the catalogs Mr. Foster had a force of clerks addressing wrappers and thus the enclosing was carried forward rapidly last week.
In the room in the north basement of Fraser hall, formerly used as the mining museum room has been established as a permanent mailing room. From it will be sent the regular weekly news bulletins and other special data which the University mails out over the state.

Hughes secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Education for State Universities, is chairman.

Month Dryer Than Usual—Typical of Entire Spring.
WEATHER FOR APRIL
Though April was markedly dryer than the average since the records were began in 1868 the past month has been surpassed in this respect by seven of the 42 preceding Aprils.

The maximum temperature for the month of 94.3 degrees on the 29th is the highest April temperature on the University record for Kansas. The mean temperature was 57.03 degrees above the April average.

University-Made Journalist Needs Nerve, Savs St. Louis Star.
The Jayhawker this year is said to contain some "racy" departments that will interest all of the students of the University. The Joke Department is especially distinctive this spring. There are also, a number of original cartoons that are said to portray some interesting events, unknown to the majority of the students. Another distinctive feature of the book is the character of the write-ups opposite the pictures of all Seniors. They are different from the ordinary paragraphs, and portray the characteristics of the graduates in a novel manner.
All Copy in and Proof Read for Jayhawker.
"There's really something admirable in the man or woman who will muster sufficient nerve to tell a city editor that their knowledge of journalism was gained in a school far removed from the school of actual experience," says the St. Louis Star. "Knowing as they must that every newspaperman in the country delights in becoming facetious when university-made Horace Greeleys are turned loose on an unfeeling world, it requires a goodly bit of gumption to seek admittance to the C. E's sanctum and 'hit for a job.'
The Jayhawker will be out or time this year. All "copy" has been in the hands of the printer for some time and all of the proof has been read. The half tone cuts have all been completed and within a short time the first copies of the book will be printed. It will be ready for distribution the night of the first performance of the Senior play, May 19.
"In fact, this nerve is the sort which often sends its owner on an assignment which no one else could get any red blood out of and which enables the cub to 'put one over' on every other sheet in the field. Perhaps our own personal willingness to josh the university-made journalist arise from the fact that we never got as far as a university."
A TEACHERS' COLLEGE.
Nashville Institution Endowed With a Million.
The sum of $1,000,000 for the establishment of the George Peabody college of teachers, to be situated at Nashville, Tenn., was given at a meeting at Nashville last week of the board of trustees of the Peabody fund for the advancement of education in the south. This gift was conditional on the granting by the state of Tennessee, the county of Davidson and the city of Nashville, of a sum approximating $750,000 The trustees were informed that the condition had been met. Their gift will establish the George Peabody school for teachers, to take the place of the Peabody normal college, which has been supported by contributions from interest on the fund.

GERMAN PLAYS COME THURSDAY
TWO ONE-ACT COMEDIES WILL BE PRESENTED.
"Mueller as Scapegoat" and "An American Duel" Are the Plays—Special Costmues.
The German plays, postponed because of Ambassador Bryce's lecture, will be given in Fraternal Aid hall, Thursday evening May 5, at 8:15 o'clock, under the direction of Prof. E. F. Engel.
Two one-act comedies will be presented, "Mueller as Scapegoat," and "An American Duel." Both are typical German comedies. The first deals with the adventures of a German on his way from Berlin to the annual fair at Leipsiic. The leading role is taken by Allen Wilber and Miss Dalton plays the part of Salome "An American Duel," is a take off on American valor. No blood shed occurs in the duel, which consists of drawing lots and Alfeld, who wins is not successful in marrying the widow.
Prof. J. A. Campbell is the business manager and he has been successful in securing the costumes from Theodore Lieben & Sons, of Kansas City, which house supplies costumes for all the University plays. The program will be printed in German and the tickets will also be exact duplicates of the German theater tickets brought from Germany by Prof. Campbell on his visit to the Fatherland.
A detailed English synopsis of both plays, translated by Prof Kruse, was posted on the German Bulletin board, on the third floor of Fraser, Monday morning. This will enable those who may have difficulty in understanding the German to get a good idea o the play and enjoy the comedie as much as the advanced student and the natural-born German themselves.
OLYMPIC GAMES
Y. M. C. A. to Give Entertain ment Friday.
Arrangements are being made by the Y. M. C. A. committees for an interesting team Friday evening at the "Olympic games," similar to the entertainment given last year. The program will begin promptly at 8 o'clock and each event will be presented in the part of the gym mose suitable for it. Genuine athletics will probably be supplemented by some burlesque activities such as proved so entertaining to the crowd last year.
B. C. Root has developed the wrestling work so thoroughly this year that this part of the entertainment should prove especially entertaining. The tumbling gymnasts will be given an opportunity to perform and the boys who handle the gloves will occupy some attention. The relay race has always been a successful feature and promises to be wel worth while this year.
The affair is planned for all the ment of the University who enjoy an evening of athletic stunts Anyone who saw the games last year needs no special invitation to attend

LOST TO MISSOURI
Junior Prom Was Too Much for Ebright's Men—Score 11 to 3.
The terrible slaughter of the American youth that took place on McCook field Saturday afternoon is another proof that the game of baseball should be abolished by our Humanitarians. The brutal assassins were the gentlemen from the University of Missouri and the tune of the fatal transaction was 11 to 3. It claimed that there had been some kind of a party called a Prom the evening before which the local boys had attended and that this had detracted in a large measure from the ambition of the home lads.
Be that as it may, when the game started the K. U. players waltzed out on the field just as though they hadn't danced all night. Heizer began the pill passing for the local lads, but gave up in the third after the Tigers had gathered in three tallies. Seven then took the stand, but at the end of the sad third spasse was retired and Doyle went in to stop the slaughter. This husk, gentleman pitched exceeding good ball and until the ninth the team worked well behind him. In that sad, sad session the Tigers plucked four more plums.
The scores that the home had managed to negotiate came in the eighth and ninth. One run scored in the eighth when Smith hit for two bases and was pushed over the plate by sacrifices. In the ninth Young Mr. Harper, who threw for the visitors let down and a base on balls coupled with a wild pitch and three errors, let in two more of the red and blue runners.

SUBMIT REPORT.
Dr. E. H. Schorer of the department of bacteriology and pathology and L. D. Havenhill state chemist, submitted their reports Thursday on the analyses of the vital organs of Mrs. Potterton of Arkansas City, who I thought to have met her death by poisoning on January 14. As a result Louis W. Potterton and his foster mother, Mrs. Emma Allen have been accused of the murder of Mrs. Potterton and arrested.
The report shows that the five organs of the body which underwent the different kinds of analysis at the University, contained fourteen and a fraction grains of arsenic. This, the report says, might have been administered at long drawn-out intervals and in small doses or in larger doses The former method, it says, is the most probable, as the analyses showed that the virus had done considerable damage to the vital cells of the different organs. The ease is creating considerable interest throughout the state.

KANSAS LOST DEBATE
The Debaters From Missouri Won the Income Tax Question.
Kansas met the second defeat in one day at the hands of Missouri Saturday night when the decision of the judges of the dewent in favor of the Tigers by a bate on the Income ax Tqesution, vote or 2 to 1.
While the decision went to the opponents, the Missouri representatives failed to meet several of the arguments presented by the Kansas men and did not prove several of their contentions to the satisfaction of the audience. A point in dispute which was no decided was regarding the principle of taxation. Missouri contended that a man should be taxed according to his ability to pay. Kansas contended that a bman should pay taxes according to the protection received.
A strong point illustrated by Kansas was the number of states who had tried the income tax and resulted in failure. Missouri was represented by C. S. Byers and D E. Priestly. The Kansas representatives were R. M. Perkin and H. C. Marks.
LOST DATE CALENDAR.
And Now the Freshman Girl Wonders.
One freshman girl in the University has lost her date calendar.
For the month of April eighteen dates were scheduled and these have all been filled. But the trouble arises with the dates in May Ten dates were made for this month, but the co-ed does not remember with whom they were made.
Some of the girls of the upper classes are objecting to the number of dates these freshmen girls are having. One senior girl were so far as to appropriate the calendar on which a freshman girl keeps a record of her coming dates. Even the girls of the junior class are up in arms. It is reported that a petition will be sent to the Women's Student Council protesting against the practice of freshmen girls making dates as far ahead as September next year The freshman desires to request however that all men remembering the dates they have made will notify her of the time and place.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 5, 1910
VOLUME VI.
PROF. DUNCAN HAS RESIGNED
HAS A CALL TO PITTSBURG UNIVERSITY.
Would Have Charge There of Many Industrial Fellows— Urged to Reconsider.
Robert Kennedy Duncan, professor of industrial chemistry at the University of Kansas, placed his resignation in the hands of Chancellor Strong Tuesday morning, preparatory to accepting a similar position in the University of Pittsburg.
The Eastern institution has offered Professor Duncan a large increase in salary and complete charge of a department of industrial chemistry which will comprise many times the number of fellowships now at the University of Kansas.
The Regents are now considering what will be done with Professor Duncan's resignation Neither Chancellor Strong nor Professor Duncan will discuss the proposed change. It is not known what the effect will be on the fellowships at the University in case Professor Duncan leaves. It is believed that the University authorities have on foot a plan by which Professor Duncan may be induced to remain at the University of Kansas.
A
CAME HERE IN 1902.
Established Eleven Fellowships Since Then.
Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan has been connected with the University of Kansas since 1902 when he came here to take his present position—professor of industrial chemistry. Since that time he has worked incessantly for the good of the school and has been the means of building up the department of industrial chemistry to its present high standard.
Professor Duncan was granted his first degree, an A. B., in 1892 when he was graduated from Toronto. The following year he was a follow at Clark University and a short time later did graduate work at Columbia University.
In 1901 he was appointed professor of chemistry at Washington and Jefferson College. He held that position until he came to the University of Kansas.
The most important work of Professor Duncan, since his connection with the University, has been the establishment of industrial fellowships. In all there are eleven of these, representing as many different kinds of scientific work.
They are as follows:
1. The Chemistry of Laundering. Five hundred dollars a year for two years, at the end of which time the value of the fellowship was doubled for several months. F.W.Faragher,A.B.
2. The Study of Diastase and the Manufacture of a Scientific Fodder. Five hundred dollars a year for three years. R. C. Shuey, B. S.
3. The Chemistry of Bread. Five hundred dollars a year for two years. H. A. Kohman, A. B.
4. The Utilization of the Constituents of Waste Buttermilk from the Butter Factories. Five hundred dollars a year for two years. E. L. Tague, A. B.
5. The Extraction of Utilizable Constituents from Crude Petroleum. One thousand dollars a year for two years. F. W. Bushong Ph.D.
6. Improvements in Composition of Enamel for Enamellined Steel Tanks. Thirteen hundred dollars a year for two years. Archie J. Weith B.S, and Frank P. Brock, B.S.
7. The Relation Between the Optical Properties of Glass and its Chemical Constitution. Fifteen hundred dollars a year for two years. E. Ward Tillotson, Ph.D. 8. Improvements in the Manufacture of Portland Cement and Lime. Fifteen hundred dollars x year for two years. J. F. MacKey, Ph.D.
9. An Investigation Into the Extractive Principles of the Glands of Deep-Sea Mammals. Six hundred and sixty-six dollars a year for one year and a half. E R. Weidlein, A. B.
10. An Investigation into the Chemical Treatment of Wood. Fifteen hundred dollars a year for two years. L. N. Redman, A.M.
11. The Discovery of New Utilities for Borax. Seven hundred and fifty dollars a year for one year. B.C.Frishot.B.S.
With nearly all these fellowships there goes a large additional consideration contingent upon success.
The inter-fratternaty base ball game between the Phi Delts and Phi Psis, which was played last Tuesday went to the Phi Delts by a score of two to one. During the session the Phi Delt twirler struck out 12 men and the players gathered four hits. The Phi Psis struck out eight and scored three hits.

FOUR MORE SUBJECTS IN THE CURRICULUM.
Name of the New Instructor Not Announced-Will Teach New Subject.
When the School of Law opens next fall, one new instructor will be added to the faculty and four new subjects to the course of study.
"On account of tentativeness of arrangements now made with the professor who is to teach here, we cannot give out his name just at present," said Dean Green this morning when asked regarding the matter. "He is now an instructor in one of the schools of law in the East. He will probably teach the subjects which are to be added, that is suretyship and guaranty the last half of the first term and trusts and bankruptey the last half the second term in the senior year."
A contract has been made with a professor who is now teaching law in one of the larger Eastern schools to come to Kansas and take charge of the new subjects that are to be added. The subjects will be trusts, suretyship, guaranty and bankruptey, all of which will be added to the course in the senior year. After this year all two-year men will be required to attend three summer sessions instead of two, required at present.
These changes have been contemplated for several years, but this is the first year that it has been possible to do so. In doing this the standard of the School of Law has been raised a great deal in the ranking among law schools over the country, and it will also give the laws several important subjects that they have hitherto been unable to obtain at this school.
Chancellor to Chicago.
Chancellor Strong will leave this afternoon for Chicago, where he speaks tomorrow night at the Northern Baptist convention. On the return trip the Chancellor expects to visit the Universities of Illinois and Chicago and to have personal interviews with men of those schools who are candidates for teaching positions at the University.

The student publications of the institutions which have met Kansas in debate this year express great pleasure and satisfaction at having won the decision over such well-trained debaters as were sent against their men by Kansas. This, while intended as a compliment to the winning teams, also compliments the Kansas men and the University. There is nothing less decisive than the verdict rendered by the judges of a debate, even when the verdist is most conscientiously given. Half the people who have heard the arguments may have formed an opinion of the outcome of the debate at variance with that of the judges, and their opinion is not in the least affected by the announcement of the official decision. Since winning or losing is so hard to determine, there is no credit in failing to get a decision. The careful instruction given by the University is bound to im prove debating, and therein lie the profit of this form of inter collegiate contest.
If the article elsewhere a The Kansan concerning the number of courses offered in the new University catalog is somewhat fanciful, it nevertheless has in it some food for thought. It shows that even the students who remain longest at the University come into contact with only a small portion of the class-room activity of the school. It is a common thing for visitors to express surprise at the immensity of the educational plant the state has established on Mount Oread. Students likewise would be surprised if they could realize all that the University is and all that it is doing.
When the high school students of the state come to the University Saturday, every student here should do all in his power to make their short stay pleasant and instructive. The impressions the visitors will receive of the University will depend largely on the extent to which they are made to feel at home.

A Colorado Paper Describes a College Event.
"Pendent from the ceiling myriad college pennants in a riot of colors formed indices to practically each and every young woman on the floor, the apex of each college, fraternity or class emblem pointing out some fair maiden, standing by the side of ; manly escort, the picture of youthful vigor, all waiting for the dance to begin. It was a beautiful sight, the young maiden and matrons in their beautiful gowns and the men in somber black, a scene which impressed one with the high standard of college social life in this section of the state."

A Synopsis For Those. Who "Nicht Verstehen."
GERMAN PLAY TONIGHT.
The two German plays which will be given in F. A. A. hall tonight may be difficult for some, who do not talk the language fluently, to understand. For that reason a synopsis of both plays is given herewith.
The first is called "Mueller the Scapegoat." It seems Mr. Mueller, a well-to-do manufacturer of tinware, is boarding at a Berlin hotel and complains somewhat of the bill of fare. Tiring of hotel life, he establishes a home of his own. A widow, named Schwidt, from Schleusingen, with whom he has been in correspondence, agrees to come to Berlin where they are to be married.
The widow sends Mueller a message that she is coming, but the message is held over a day on account of his absence from the hotel and when finally delivered to him, he learns that the widow is there in person.
She proves to be all that he had hoped for, but just before the time for the wedding, severab amusing things happen.
A servant brings a battered hat, and asks a tip for rescuing Mueller from the drunken brave of the night before. Another servant brings in a woman's hat that Mueller had ordered for his bride And so several interruptions occur and a number of explanations are required. All this trouble is caused because the Muellers are as thick in Germany as the Smith are in America. As usual all end well, for Mueller succeeds in convincing his intended that he is sincere in his love.
"An American Duel," the second play, involves two suitors who are praying for the hand of a lady of wealth. One suitor is a man of rank, the other a poor painter. The girl in the plot invites both to call in order that she may study them at close range. After some attempts on the part of both to rid himself of the other's presence, an American duel is proposed. The successful one is to be chosen by lot. In the finale the man of rank wins out in the drawing, but in the meantime the widow has made her own choice and as a result the painter wins her hand.

MANY COURSES ARE OFFERED
NUMBER SHOWN IN CATA LOG IS 859.
To Take All the Work Would Re quire 113 Years—Twenty-One Degrees Offered.
There is a story about a freshman who comes to enroll in the University. When the Registrar asks him, "What course do you want to take?" he answers with the query, "What courses have you got?"
That boy would be stunned and probably driven to despair of ever getting a liberal education if a complete and literally true answer were made to his question. The new catalog, which was delivered from the state printer's office last week, and which is now being sent broadcast to prospective students over the state, shows that the new student must choose from 859 courses which will be offered next year. The total number of hours' credit included in the courses in 4,002.
Suppose, as might possibly happen, a youth should come to the University fired with the noble ambition of making a regular "cleanup"—of absorbing every bit of knowledge the institution has to offer him. What would happen? Well, when that ambitious student—youth no longer—tottered out from his last final quiz, feebly erooned "Rock! Chalk!" and took a look back over the path he had traveled, he would find himself the grand old man of the Permanent Student Body, having camped in the halls on Mount Oread for 113 years and having seen no one knows how many generations of professors and Boards of Regents come and go. All this is on the position that the University authorities would not play a mean trick on our student by adding more courses after he started. As a reward for his devotion to his studies our entry in the marathon of learning would be entitled to string twenty-one different combinations of the alphabet after his name, indicating as many degrees.
Our student would spend for board during his residence at the University enough to buy the finest building on the hill, even if he lived at the cheapest K. U. boarding house. This, though, is clearly incompatible with the hypothesis that he survives until the twenty-first century George O. Foster enters the credit for the last of his 4,002 hours on the records.
Estimates of his expenses for rom rent, car fare, books and spending-money at refreshment parlors read like a University budget for the next biennium. If he lived twelve blocks from the University and walked to classes morning and afternoon he would traverse a distance of 119,000 miles, or more than four-and-a-half times the distance around the world. There, Edward Payson Weston! As to the size of hat he would wear, and how near his stack of text books would come to being as high as Mount McKinley, you who are mathematically proficient may figure out for your selves.
Two students from the state of Kansas are registered in the law school of Leland Stanford University.

Valuable Book at Library.
A duel of duels was fought yesterday—that is, some time ago a challenge was accepted and yesterday it was decided. The controversy arose between the representatives of "Daddy" Haworth and Prof. R. K. Dunean—in simple terms the mining and the chemical engineers.
A very valuable book in the original text and faec simile of the manuscript of John Henry Cardinal Newman's "Dream of Gerontius" was received at the Library yesterday. As it is impossible for the library to possess such a vaule book as the original manuscript the copy was purchased. It is bound in velour and is a very handsome volume. It can be found in the English room in the basement.

The representatives of "The Hague tribunal" and the position each took, follows:
The battle began promptly at 2:30 and was fast and furious for some time. The Miners run a relay around their opponents' bases until they were exhausted, and according to the expert accountant who attempted to keep tally of the flood of runs, the final tally was 26 to 6.

Concerning the much-discussed keg—that was the disappointment of the game. No keg of nails, root beer or otherwise reposed on third base, and twenty-six times the gallant miners were forced to speed around the dusty course with never a sign of an oasis. Before the game even got under way news was received that the keg had been wrecked on the way. The contestants, however, declare that they will hold the railroad responsible, and that at some future date, not to be published, they expect to enjoy the benefits of said keg. An arbitration committed may be appointed to settle the much-discussed question of just what the keg is to contain, and how many gallons.

One of the Common Mistakes
men make about clothes is in thinking that they've got to have their clothes made to order. They don't stop to consider who's going to make the clothes, or who's going to do the measuring; they don't really know much about what sort of cloth is going to be used; they just give an order, pay a good price, and take what they get.
Our clothes, ready-made, all-wool, perfectly tailored, have got the average made-to-order clothes beaten a mile. They're better in style and better fitting than the ordinary tailor can produce; and they are just as well-fitting as any clothes you ever wore. Your tailor does some little fitting in making your clothes; we might have to do a little in fitting you here. But you'll get a correct fit and you'll get all wool fabrics, and better tailoring than you're used to, and better style.
Whenever you need Clothes you'll be serving your own interests best if you come here.

SPOKE ON REPORTING
Walter Johnson Advised "Cubs' Not to Be Funny.
Walter Johnson, managing editor of the Hutchinson News, spoke to the sophomore class in journalism yesterday morning on "Some Things a Cub Reporter Ought to Know." Mr. Johnson strongly advised against an attempt on the part of the young news writer to cultivate a humorous style. "If there were a pure humor law, similar to the pure food law," he said, "nine-tenths of our publications would be barred from the mails."

THREE-LEGGED RACE.
One Feature of Olympic Games Tomorrow Night.
The latest entry for the Olympic games, to take place at 7:30 tomorrow evening in Robinson gymnasium is an ambitious youth who desires to contest in a three-legged race. No such event has been pulled off at any Convention ball meet and just what kind of a mongrel race this will be is arousing some interest. It is however, expected that enough entries will be made to make it an international race—the Irish against the Dutch, it is understood.
Root's world-famed tumbling aerobats are scheduled for one of their justly celebrated performances. It is reported that the world's wrestling championship will be determined by the contests on the mat tomorrow evening. In case his proteges do not come up to all expectations, it is possible that Trainer Root will himself give a little athletic exhibition. The high-bar artists are expected to demonstrate their abilities.
Yielding to an insistent elamor from the boys who attended the games last year, it is probable that the management will stage that classic event known as a relay race between the pajamas and night shirts, represented by the laws and engineers respectively.
The Kappas will entertain for Prof. and Mrs. C. G. Dunlap and Prof. and Mrs. Robert K. Duncan this evening at their chapter house, 1400 Tennessee street.

BAKER ON SATURDAY
A Hard Struggle With Methodist Baseball Players Looked for by Coach Ebright.
After the big high school meet Saturday afternoon there will be the second ball game of the season between the "Micks" and the men from Preacher town. The game there Saturday was a close affair of ten periods duration. It is true that the team that journeyed to Baldwin was not that which usually represents the red and blue on the field of battle, but the run for the money that the gentlemen of the black and orange gave them promises fair for a struggle worthy of the name on Saturday.
It is probable that Farrell will start the game in the box for K U. In spite of the fact that Ebright has five throwers on his staff, but three of them are available. Heizer and Seven are nursing bad arms and until they are in their proper condition it is to be doubted whether the coach will be able to use them. Baker has another pitcher who is said to be the equal of Kell, who pitched the game at Baldwin.
One thing about the team this year that is giving satisfaction to the coach is the fact that there are a bunch of hitters on the squad As the batting averages show, five of the regulars are hitting above the 300 mark.
On Saturday morning the freshmen will have the first chance to show what they really amount to At that time they will play the Herington high school team, which claims the championship of Central Kansas.
QUILL OUT TOMORROW
Magazine Said to be Replete With Good Stories.
The "Quill,"the annual literary magazine published by the Quill club in May of each year, will be out tomorrow morning after chapel. This year, the members of the club, recognizing the need of a college magazine at the University, have endeavored to make the present number a beginning in this direction. Heretofore the "Quill" has been representative of the class-room work of the club members only. This year many articles have been contributed by outsiders, and more especially most of the material has been written especially for the publication.
The contents comprise stories local sketches, limericks, and an editorial page. Harry Kemp has two poems in the issue. Two sketches that will appeal to local readers are, "A Girls' Day in the Swimming Pool" and "K. U. in Paradise."

The principal address of the evening was to have been given by Hon.

Harvey Starbuck, president of the senior law class, acted as toastmaster, and introduced the following speakers:
W. B. Brownell spoke on "A Lawyer's Conscience," telling also the beginning of the Law School under "Uncle Jimmy."
R. O. Douglass, of the class of '09, who spoke on "I'm looking for the man who said 'to shoot,'" picturing very wittily the experiences of a young lawyer in the large city.

IS PLAN OF SOPHOMORE AND JUNIOR CLASSES.
At Some Time Following Sopho more Prom Plays Will Be Given in Fraternal Aid Hall.
If present plans are carried out, all of the students of the University, who were unable to see the Junior Farce at the Prom and those who will not see the Sophomore Farce at the Sophomore Prom next Friday night, will have the opportunity to see both at some time shortly after the Sophomore Prom.
Because of the many requests made by those who were unable to see the Junior Farce, the chairman of the Farce committee, Moe Friedman, has consented to repeat the play. Many have asked that the sophomore farce be given at the same time and Donald McKay of the sophomore farce committee, has consented to the plan.

Tennis Championship in Doubles Singles Tonight.
The finals in the interscholastic high school tennis tournament were played in the gym this morning. The preliminaries between ten teams from schools throughout the state were played yesterday afternoon with the result that the semifinals included the teams from Wentworth Military academy, Kansas City, Kansas, Pittsburg and St. John's Military academy.
Kansas City defeated St. John and Pittsburg won from Wenthworth.
In the finals Kansas City won the first set by a score of 6 to 2, lost the second set by a score of 5 to 7 and won the third and fourth sets by scores of 6 to 3 thus taking the championship of the state. The singles, in which twenty men representing eleven schools are entered will be played tonight.
Fair tonight with light frost; Sunday fair.
The plays will be given in the Fraternal Aid hall. The reason for the selection of the Fraternal Aid instead of the Gym is that to give it at the latter place would mean the erection of a stage and the placing of scenery in the hall. With a permanent stage the plays could be staged more effectively and with less trouble.
GAVE OLYMPIC GAMES.
The announcement made today, however, is not definite and must be confirmed by the two classes and by the University authorities. It is understood that Louis Breyfogle, president of the Junior class opposes the repeating of the Junior Farce.
Large Crowd at Y. M.'s Entertainment Last Night.
NUMBER 89
In spite of the unfavorable weather an enthusiastic crowd of rooters including a large number of visiting high school athletes, enjoyed the Olympic game contests pulled off in the gym last night. "Mike" Lynch was the chief barker for the show and announced the different events with appropriate comment.
The three-legged race was the first number on the program. Six men ran in this event in which each man of a pair had his nigh running gear tied to that of his partner. Even with this handicap Badger and "Happy" Martindell lived up to their McCook field record by winning the race. Tim Shotts next entertained the crowd with an exhibition of his customary spectacular work on the high bars. The tumbling work by Brownlee and Babb was exceptionally good and was the best event of the evening to some of the crowd. A sack race caused the usual amount of amusement.
One of the best performances was the bag-punching by Assistant Physical Director Root. He had some stunts new to many of the men and the whole exhibition pleased the crowd.
The relay race, in which each man ran two laps on the running track, was received with its usual hearty approval. The engineer quartet elud in pajamas, defeated the four from the Law School, at tired in night shirts.
The last event of the evening was the wrestling match, in which 'Big' Smith won the championship of the school from Clay Roberts.
FACULTY ENGAGEMENT
Miss Bauer of Mathematics Department to Marry.
The announcement of the engagement of Miss Wilhelmina Bauer, of 1108 Ohio street, and Lieutenant Ramsey of Watertown Arsenal, Mass., was made this morning. Miss Bauer is an instructor in mathematics at the University and is well known in school circles. Lieutenant Ramsey formerly lived in Topeka. He is a graduate of West Point Military Academy.
Miss Bauer will leave for a tour of Europe this summer and upon her return next fall the marriage will take place.
To Hold Regatta.
At a meeting of the canoe club, held last Tuesday it was decided to hold a regatta this spring, similar to the one held last year. The different events will consist of rowing, swimming and diving contests. The date has not yet been fixed, but it will probably be scheduled for within two weeks.
Miss Mable Hayes of Kansas City is spending a few days with Moneta Butts at the Pi Phi house.
K.N.G.COMPANY IS ORGANIZED
REQUIRED NUMBER OF MEN SECURED LAST NIGHT.
Company Mustered Into State Service Early Next Week— Many Candidates for Office.
The required number of enlistments to organize a company of the Kansas National Guard at the University of Kansas was completed last night. C. R. Shifler, the recruiting officer, mailed the enlistment papers at once to Adjutant General C. I. Martin, at Topeka. It is expected that the company will be mustered into the state service early next week. Officers will be elected at the time of the muster, and the men will also be measured for uniforms.
The company will be supplied throughout with new equipment from the military stores at Topeka. The new organization will probably be mustered in as Company K of the First regiment, taking the place of the Coffeyville company which was recently disbanded.
The officers of the company will be elected by vote of the members subject to confirmation by the state military board. There is a good deal of politics stirring among the men. It is understood that a number of candidates have booms for each of the commissioned offices.
The names of the members of the company follow.
Glen S. Weaver, Ross E. Weaver, Wayne S. Edwards, Andrew Thompson, George L. Terry, John C. MeArthur, Glen H. Broyles, Floyd B. Devlin, Howard H. Houk, Steele Sproull, Benjamin A. Babb, Franklin J.

TO FIND COMET'S TAIL
Chemists to Make Tests to Ascertain When Earth Passes Through Tail of Comet.
Just when the buildings comprising the University and the campus—and to include all, the students themselves will pass, with the rest of the world, through the tail of Halley's comet, is a question that has been rising in the minds of several members of the faculty. But the problem is soon to be solved. Preparations are being made by the faculty of the department of Chemistry to ascertain just when the collision of the earth and the comet's tail takes place.
But just how it will be done is the secret. It is a certainty that there will be no shock experienced by mother earth when the collision comes, and therefore, the seismograph cannot be held responsible. But the chemists have another way. They will collect dust from the air and test it for its radio activity. Moreover, during the middle part of this month, liquid air will be prepared from the surrounding atmosphere each day and will be examined for constituents in an effort to recognize some substances which will be in the air as a consequence of the passing of the tail of the comet. Reports of the proceedings will be given out from the department of chemistry in order that the students may know just when they are enveloped in the vapor.
Won in Wrestling Tournament Last Night.
SMITH, THE CHAMPION

Ralph H. Smith, champion of the heavy weight wrestlers won the University championship last night by taking two straight falls from Clay Roberts, champion in the light weight class.
Gorsuch and Easterday of the light weight division wrestled to a draw in a struggle lasting an hour and seventeen minutes. The match resulted in the same decision after a contest of one hour last night.

GERMAN PLAYS GIVEN.
Audience Was Cut Down on Ac count of Bad Weather.
count of Bad Weather.
The annual German plays were given Thursday evening at Fraternal Aid hall. The two plays "Mueller als Suendenbock" and "Ein Amerikanisches Duell," were produced under the direction of Professors W. H. Carruth and E. F. Engel.
On account of the bad weather the house was only about hal filled. German residents of Lawrence composed a large proportion of the audience, as is usually the case when the German play is given.
In the first play Allen Wilber and Beatrice Dalton had the leading funny parts. Their pronunciation was clear and the amusing situations won frequent applause. There were but four parts in "An American Duel," which was also well received.
The department of German was so well pleased with the performance that a plan was started to give the comedies again when more could attend, but no open date could be found.
Following are the names of the students who took part in the plays :
"Mueller als Suendenback"— Allen Wilber, Beatrice Dalton Ruth N Doren, Rebecca Pason, Everett Vaughn, Carl Brown George Greever, Lloyd Beeghley Arthur Humphrey.
"Ein Amerikanisehes Duell" Mabel Nowlin, Marion English Joe Turner, and Margaret Stack House.
Felt the Quake.
The earthquake shocks which took place at Carthage, Costa Rica, last Wednesday night were recorded by slight waves on the University seismograph.
The earthquake shock which was felt at Fresno Cal. Friday morning, and which was recorded on the seismograph at the University of California at Berkley, was not recorded by the seismograph at this place probably because it was a local disturbance.

RAIN TO BLAME FOR
RAINBOW HOSIERY
High School Athletes Had Hard Luck With Hat Bands and Manl-Colored Hose.
Did you know that this was high school day? Have you been looking for the rah-rah hats and the noisy socks of the high school boys? Have you wondered at the absence of rah-rahs, louder even than you expected the hosiery to be?
You have been disappointed not because the high school boys have severed their connection from their regulation raiment, and adopted the "simple life" style, but on account of an act of God—the rain.
So hurt were these juvenile visitors because they could not show the University boys that they were able to dress like real college boys, that they even forgot to give the yell that they had practiced so long. But had you visited any of the buildings on the hill this morning, especially the gymnasium, you would have seen the high school boys shorn of all their glory. The hat bands that they bought at the "store" last summer were simply ruined and even their proverbial sox wept and shed tears over their new "kicks."
But they are only boys, and soon the parallel bars, horizontal bars, and the rest of the athlete-producing machinery at the gym made them forget their faded hatsbands and rainbow colored hosiery. They tried everything from handball and bag-punching to the swimming pool and rowing machine. "Home is nothing like this," said one of them.
VISITOR INJURED.
The rest agreed with him and soon they were even emitting their lusty rah-rahs.
High School Athlete Had Hard Fall at Gym.
Searle Lanyon, who runs the 100 yard dash for the Pittsburg high school, was painfully injured yesterday afternoon while swimming in the pool at Robinson gymnasium. Lanyon was standing on the edge of the pool with several of his high school friends when he grasped the single swing rope above the water. The rope broke and the young athlete fell, striking his back on the iron rail surrounding the pool.
He was taken from the pool by George Atkinson, one of his friends, and carried up stairs. For a short time he seemed to have lost control of one of his limbs but before long he recovered so that he was able to walk. He was cared for by Dr. Naismith and assistants and his condition this morning is said not to be serious.
The Pi Phis will hold initiation this evening for Dorothy Williston, of Chicago.
PLANS PROGRESSING.
Sophomores are Tardy About Handing in Dates.
Although the seniors are handling in their dates for the Sophmore Prom, the sophmores themselves are very tardy. According to a statement made by the chairman of the invitation committee this morning only a few of the second year men have registered their dates.
"Many of them do not seem to realize," said the chairman, "that if they do not pay their dues this year they will not be eligible to go to the prom when they are seniors, unless they pay the regular fees."
The invitations to the faculty and seniors were sent out this week. All arrangements are progressing rapidly and in a short time all will be ready. According to those who are in close touch with the entertainment it will be one of the best of its kind. An innovation in the form of a farce will be introduced and this play alone is expected to make the Sophomore a success. The play was written by George Bowles, a member of the class. He has called it "Miss Independence," and has included a number of original song hits. The lead part will be taken by Miss Brownie Angle and a chorus will sing the songs. The score of the play has been published in book form and will be sold on the night of the Prom.
Clark Wallace will be at the check stand every day next week at chapel time, to sign all unsigned admittance tickets.

IT'S TAG DAY TOMORROW
>
"ALICE IN WONDERLAND, ON NEXT FRIDAY.
135 Girls Will Give Gala Day Celebration on the Campus— Tags Good for Admission.
Tomorrow and Thursday will be "Tag Days."
Early in the morning forty girls, representing those most interested in the Girls' Gada Day which is to be given next Friday will appear on the "Hill" with the tags, on which will be printed "Alice in Wonderland."
" Alice in Wonderland.
Thirteenth of May, Cheshire cat with you,
You'll not have to pay."
From one of those forty girls every student in the University is expected to buy at least one of the circular pasteboards, at the price, 25 cents. Moreover, he is asked to wear the tag for the next two days, and on Friday afternoon it will entitle him to admission to "Alice in Wonderland."
A
The Girls' Gala Day this year will be given instead of the annual May Day Fete. It will consist of the play, "Alice in Wonderland," by seventy-five girl characters and a chorus of sixty and a number of other novel features. The characters will represent the different playing cards and costumes to represent the cards will be worn.
There will also be a number of booths established in different parts of the campus where tarts candy, popcorn and other confections will be sold by girls.
The celebration will begin at 2:30 o'clock p. m., Friday, when "Alice in Wonderland" will be given in the natural amphitheater west of Green hall. If the weather does not permit outdoor performance the play will be giver a week later.

ARE HITTING HARD.
Baseball Players Showing Good "Sticking" Ability.
From the figures shown in Manager Lamson's score book the University baseball squad is hitting hard. Six men have percentages above .300, two between 200 and .300 and the remaining players below .200.
The list showing the number of games each man has played in, the time at bat, the hits, and his percentage, follows:
G. AB. H. Pet.
Haller, lf .12 51 19 .370
Wilhelm, cf .8 17 6 .351
Walker, lb .12 44 14 .309
Smith, rf .13 52 20 .340

Palmer, 2b .13 43 7 .163
Heizer, p .7 12 1 .083
Rockefeller, c .12 40 5 .125
This puts the average batting ability of the men at .241. Thirteen games are included in figuring the averages. During the season Hanlon and Smith have each had home runs and Hanlon, Smith and Haller have all had three base hits. Several of the players have also succeeded in "sticking" two base hits.
A NEW FRATERNITY.
Delta Sigma Rho Charter Grant ed to Debaters.
The local debating fraternity, Delta Rho, received word today that its petition to Delta Sigma Rho was granted Saturday, May 7.

The installation of the chapter here will take place before the end of this year.
A. E. Stegeman, a senior civil engineer, left Saturday for Ohi Center, Calif., to take a position with the Associated Oil company of that city. He will carry on some outside investigations so that he will receive his degree without returning to the University.
NEW RULES IN PRACTICE
SPRING FOOTBALL WORK OUTS BEGIN TOMORROW.
Kennedy Today Issued Call for Pig-Skin Warriors—Mosse to Be Here.
Spring football practice will begin tomorrow afternoon on McCook field. Coach A.R.Kennedy today issued the following call for spring football practice:
"I therefore issue a call for every football man in the University, particularly those who have played on the 'Varsity, to appear, in suits, on McCook field every afternoon this week at 4:30, and on Saturday morning at 9:30, prepared to learn some new points about the new rules. It is important that all football players should turn out."
"Now that the National Rules Committee has about completed its work, and the football rules for 1910 have become well established, it is necessary that the new code be given a few days' consecientious study by the men who are to represent Kansas next year.
(Signed) A. R. KENNEDY,
"Couch."
Coach Kennedy is in earnest in his call for men. He thinks that the game of football is too complex to be mastered in the fall season alone, especially since radical changes have been made by the Rules committee. He wants all the old and experienced players in particular to appear on the field, as he needs their opinions about what can be done under the revised rules, and also as a better tryout can be given the rules if the coaches have experienced men to work with.
Coach Mosse has been corresponding with Walter Camp and expects to receive some time this week a statement of the final report of the rules committee, Coach Kennedy thinks the forward pass is doomed, and he is not sorry to see it go. The proposed change will make the ball free on going over the opponent's goal line from an onside kick, if passed, would help Kansas, in the opinion of the coach, because Kansas has been the only school in the Missouri Valley which has been able to work the onside kick successfully.
"I intend to be on the field every day myself and I want the men to be there in force. Coach Mosse will be down probably tomorrow to help make the practice as profitable as possible."
"A little study of the rules now means a saving of two weeks' time in the fall," said the coach today. "I have talked the matter over with Johnson and Pleasant and we have decided that this week is the time to do the work as later the men will not have the time to spare from their studies.
THE WEATHER.
Generally fair tonight and Wednesday; no change in temperature.

Fifty Students Went to Smart. Clark Wedding at Ottawa.
Over fifty students left on the 4:30 special for Ottawa this afternoon to attend the wedding of Miss Lola Smart and Mr. Wm. Clark, two former students of the University. All the attendants of the two young people are students in or graduates of the University. Miss Georgia Smart, sister of the bride, will be maid of honor and A. F. Landon will act as best man. The other attendants are: Miss Hazel Allison, Miss Edna Hopkins, Miss Mary Gleed, Miss Helen Jones, Mr. Dick Adams, Mr. Ray Heaton, Mr. Harry Rogers, Mr. Thurman Fitzpatrick and Mr. George Porter.
TOOK SPECIAL TRAIN.
Complete Line in Week.
The wedding will take place at 7:30 this evening. The special will return at 10:30.
On account of the recent bad weather it will be another week before the car line will be completed.
The management hoped to start running cars around the loop the last of this week, but the raina last week made it impossible to hand rock for the road bed, and for this reason it will be a week before the cars cross the campus.

Nebraskans Have Good Team and Always Put Up a Strong Fight for Honors.
ANNUAL TRACK MEET WILL
BE HELD AT THAT TIME.
On Saturday afternoon Coach Hamilton's track team will meet the representatives of the University of Nebraska in the first 'varsity meet of the local season. The prospects are for a hard battle in spite of the bear stories that are coming out of the Cornhusker camp.
RECEIVED SUBJECTS.
Last year's meet was an indecisive affair. Both teams claimed to be the winners and the dispute was never settled. As Nebraska counted the scores the result was 59 to 58 in their favor. As Kansas counted the result was $57\frac{1}{2}$ to $59\frac{1}{2}$ in favor of the Jayhawks. The dispute arose over a tie for second in the high jump. Nebraska contended that the tie must be jumped off. Kansas on the other hand held that the points should be divided. The referee was persuaded to order the Kansans to jump off the tie or forfeit the meet. Under protest this was done and the Cornhusker athlete won the event. The protest was then passed up to the leading track authorities and all responded favorably to the Kansas side of the question. The present status of the dispute is that in the trophy room of each institution is a cup held as winner of the Kansas-Nebraska meet of 1909.
The try-outs recently held at the northern school developed that there were some speedy middle distance men there as well as some good sprinters. In the weight events the Nebraskans appear to be weak, but it may be safely said that they are no weaker than are some of the local iron throwers. The tryouts were held on the same date as the local inter-class meet and under the same conditions so there is no way of judging the true strength of the team.
Commencement Speakers Give Titles to Their Addresses.
Prof. J. E. Boodin has received letters from two Commencement week speakers, informing him of the titles of their addresses.
"The Quill,"
Bishop McDowell, who will deliver the baccalaureate sermon, will speak on "The Interpretation of Life." Prof. Josiah Royce, who will deliver the Commencement address, will take as his subject, "Loyalty and Insight." Prof. Royce says that his address will be a brief interpretation of his book, "The Philosophy of Loyalty."

It is safe to say that at this year's track meet with Nebraska the rules determining the awarding of events will be agreed upon before the whistle blows.
Plans for Commencement have taken form so that the copy of the program for the week is in the hands of the printer. The year is drawing to a close, faster than most of us think. Many important questions, even that of the size of the graduating class depend upon the work that is done in the few remaining weeks of study.
The University is fortunate in having an organization like the Quill club, which has for its purpose the encouragement of literary efforts among the students. "The Quill," which was issued last week, was a credit to the club. It seems that there is not sufficient support in sight for a regular monthly literary publication, and as long as that condition exists, the Quill club should be encouraged in its attempt to keep the literary spark alive by publishing an annual "Quill."
Within the past week the student dailies published at the Universities of Illinois and Nebraska have printed editorials strongly advocating the honor system in examinations at those Universities. It is admitted by both papers that "ponying" and "borrowing" are common in exams in the schools which they represent Evidently, Kansas is not the only Western University where the
practice of cheating in quizzes has grown until it is a serious issue.
Every good fellow in the University will be "tagged" next Thursday, for all Good Fellows will be glad to help along the scholarship established by the Women's Student Government association to the extent of the twenty-five cents they will have to pay for a tag.
TO POETS.
To captive all the moods of Time
In the golden links of rhyme;
To reach beyond the frequent sham
Of the "I would be" to "I am;"
Only to wound that ye may heal,
As fire tempers ore to steel;—
To fling, each morn, as Life goes on,
New windows open to the dawn,
Wringing a golden recompense
From every harsh experience,
That, step by step, the world may rise
Nearer its earthly paradise—
Thus sing, ye poets, or be still,
Nor thwart man's upward-marching
will.

PROTESTS AGAINST CUSTOM
"Kicker" Thinks He Ought Not to Pay for An Extra Annual.
Editor Kansan;
As the senior play draws near, it brings with it the realization that if one wishes to enjoy the company of a young woman on that occasion, he must fork up $2.50 to buy her an Annual. Now I would like to kick and kick strenuously against this time worn custom that makes a goat out of anybody who takes a girl to the senior play. Every girl knows that Annuals are sold at the senior play, and she also knows that it will be up to her escort to dig up $2.50 for one of them for her, unless she provides herself with an Annual ticket beforehand. Any girl wishing to become the possessor of an Annual should purchase an Annual ticket before the performance. This, believe me, will certainly make a hit with her escort.

POOR VOTING SYSTEM?
Charge Is Made That Rules Were Broken by Women.
An election which was an nounced as conducted according to the Australian ballot system, was held in the rest room of Fraser hall Thursday. However, there was not a recognizable booth in sight, and when the room was crowded no place to which one could retire and vote in private.
Electioneering began the minute one entered the room, and as you marked your ballot excited girls leaned over your shoulder and directed your pencil. I, for one, had backed away from the crowd and was trying to collect my thoughts when a strange girl rushed up to me and said, "Oh, don't vote for that one. Here's my pencil rubber, change it!"
When I informed her that I was determined, she put her arms around me and insisted. I broke away and handed in my ballot.
It would have been but little extra trouble to have provided booths for the voters, and a fence to mark the limits of electionering. The officers for the Student Government Association elected by this weirt scheme this year may find a noble work in conducting next year's election in a straight and official manner.

DISSATISFACTION AT NEBRASKA
ALUMNI DO NOT LIKE BASE BALL SITUATION.
Protest Has Gone Up Since the Big Schools Dropped Nebraska From Schedule.
"I met one or two Nebraska alumni at about every town I struek, and all of them tear their hair when they talk about the baseball situation at their alma mater," said the ex-freshman coach. "They say that there must be a change in the way athleties are handled at Nebraska Since Minnesota and the other big schools have dropped the Cornhuskers from their base schedules, the whole state has been raising a howl, and it's bound to bring about some kind of a change.
"Professionalism in baseball is going to cause an athletic shake up at Nebraska University before long." This is the opinion of W. J. Coleman, coach of last year's freshman football team at the University.
Mr. Coleman has lately returned from a business trip through Nebraska, on which he visited a large number of towns and had an opportunity to "feel the pulse" of Nebraskans with regard to their university.
"The minute I mentioned foot ball to those Nebraskans, to a man they began to talk "bear Kansas." That seems to be the theme, up there, and they are expecting to have a strong team too. From what I can hear, next year's Cornhuskers will be able to do an adult's size bunch of husking."
A
University Hospital May Nurse Kansas City Patients.
CARE FOR CITY'S SICK.
It is very probable that the University of Kansas will soon indirectly care for the hospital patients of Kansas City, Kan. The authorities of the Eleanor Taylor Bell Memorial hospital at Rosedale have offered to care for those patients. The proposition was made this week and if accepted a general hospital, which has been proposed, will not be built in Kansas City, Kan., but the patients from there will be sent to the University institution.
The University has proposed the arrangements that students may have an opportunity to study in the University hospital. An addition to the hospital is being planned and the proposition will be gone into thoroughly by the commissioners and representatives of the University before the actual work of construction starts

THE 1910 "QUILL."
The Quill, the annual publication of the Quill club, was published Friday. A brisk sale of copies was carried on at the check stand in Fraser Hall. The Quill this year is a magazine of eighty pages. The cover design was drawn by Everett G. Young.
The contents comprise twenty-five contributions, two of which are unsigned, in prose and verse. In addition there is an editorial department. The title page carries a poem, "The Cup," by Harry Kemp, and farther along is another poem by Kemp on "Corn in Kansas." The other verse in the number is "To My Old Love" and "Another Expedition Planned," by C. C. Van Dyke; "My Position," by Dot Smith; "Mine Alma Mater," by "N. V. T.;" "Denied," by Anna R. Manley, and Limericks by W. M. Huff.
The prose contributions vary in quality from an excellence that compares favorably with the fiction appearing in the good magazines, to some indifferent work. The titles are as follows:
"The Blue Bank of Clouds in the West," John Ise; "Girls' Day in the Swimming Pool," Helen Phillips; "The Button-Hook Trust," by Robert L. Sellers; "The Heart of Sing Fu," Hazel McKay; "Social Life of a Stag at K. U.," T. T. Shannon; "The Fall of the Mighty," Everett G.

A Lot of Courses.
The Kansan, the official paper of the University, reports in its last issue that the new catalog has listed so many courses of study that to complete them all would require some 113 years. The article adds that the student who should attempt such a Herculean task would spend a sum for text-boks which would exceed the biennial budget of the University. These figures ought to convince any sane student that he cannot "learn it all" in four short years, and relieve him at once of any further anxiety in the matter.—Lawrence Democrat.
KEMP HAS GONE WEST.
Will Study Life in Washington for Poetic Material.
Harry Kemp started yesterday on a tour to Tacoma, Washington, where he will spend the summer gathering material for poems. He took two stop-overs on the trip. Yesterday he spent the afternoon with J. E. House, of the Topeka Capital, and today he is visiting William Allen White, at Emporia.
The poet expects to spend several months in the Northwest. He will work in the salmon canneries, see the big trees and make a study of life in general as he finds it in that part of the country. Last summer he made a similar trip to the Great Lakes. While there he worked as cook's assistant in an ore freighter.
In Tacoma, Kemp will find Claude A. Clay, '09, who is a reporter on the Tacoma Daily Tribune. The poet expects to spend a month at an anarchist colony near that city.

AS EXPERT WITNESSES
Four University Professors of Chemistry to Testify in Hyde Case This Week.
The professors of chemistry at the University are this week playing an important part in the famous Hyde trial at Kansas City, four of them having made investigations for the state. E. H. S. Bailey has been in consultation with the attorneys for the prosecution at Kansas City, nearly all week and is expected to be called upon to furnish testimony within a short time. Professors H. P. Cady and H. W. Emerson are now in Kansas City and it is expected that they will go on the stand today or tomorrow.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey and Prof H. P. Cady, together with Prof F. W. Bushong and Prof H. W. Emerson have been working secretly for the past two weeks or a problem that may mean freedom or death to Dr. Hyde.
For this reason the University professors have been called upon to make tests of the Frigid embalming fluid, showing how the hydrocyanic acid was formed.
Owing to the effort of the state to prove that cyanide was found in the Swope viscera, the defense is trying to prove that the presence of the poison could be due to action of formaldehyde in the embalming fluid on the natural ammonia in the body.
The results of all the experiments that have been made are being kept secret until they are brought into the testimony.
Students to Hold Services.
Next Thursday night a gospel team consisting of W. C. Herman John Harbeson, Walter Mayer Frank Ward, and James Bain will go to Madison, Kan., to hold a series of meetings especially for the high school boys. All of the men who are going will make talks at the meetings. They are planning to have a baseball game on Saturday. The meetings are to be union meetings and the success of them, according to secretary Herman, will depend largely upon personal work among the young men. The plan of sending out gospel teams of college men to work among the high school men has recently been tried with good success by the Y. M. C. A in other states.
READY FOR SOPHOMORE.
Arrangements for Prom Arc Nearly Completed.
Arrangements for the Sophomore Prom are now practically complete. Thursday night everything will be in readiness and on Friday evening the second-year students are expecting to give a party that excells any "Sophomore" yet given.
The farce, which is an innovation this year, will begin promptly at 9 o'clock. It will last an hour and the first dance will be played at 10. The committee on arrangements has announced that the hours given above will be adhered to strictly in starting the features of the evening's entertainment. This is done so that the program of dances may be completed before the morning hours pass away too rapidly. Arrangements have been made to place a canvas over the floor at Fraternal Aid hall and on this canvas the chairs will be placed. The prom-goers will thus be able to see and hear the farce to the best advantage. After the play has been given the chairs will be moved and the dancing begin.
All dates for the party must be turned in by Thursday morning. No date will be accepted after that time. The manager of the Prom and chairman of the invitation committee will be at the check stand tomorrow and Thursday to sign and issue tickets of admission.

Ebright's Team Engaging in Baseball Combat With Catholics This Afternoon.
After a rest of several days, "Mick" Ebright's baseball pastimers are engaging in a friendly duel with Coach Quigley's Catholices this afternoon. The collegians from St. Mary's come here with an enviable record, having won nine out of eleven games. They are a fast bunch and always put up a good fight for honors against K. U.
On the other hand the several days' rest and consistent practices for the Varsity are enabling the Kansans to put up a snappy game.
In speaking of his team this morning, Coach Quigley said, "My men are all in good condition and we are going to do our best. Of course, I do not know what our chances against Kansas are, but you know our quality of ball and should be able to judge even better than 1."
At the end of the fourth inning the score stood 6 to 2 in favor of St. Marxs.
The two teams are lined up this afternoon as follows;

A STUDY IN DISCIPLINE.
That college students detected in dishonesty in their work are really physically deficient compared to normal students, is shown by statistics of the medical examiner of the men's gymnasium at the University of Wisconsin.
Comparisons Show Moral and Physical Deficiency Related.
Comparison of 50 disciplines students with 8,000 of their classmates, in an investigation conducted by Dr. J.C. Elsom for several years, shows that they fall short in weight, height, strength tests, and other physical measurements.
"It is undoubtedly a fact, says Dr. Elsom, "that the poorly developed and badly nourished individual cannot be as strong either physically, morally or mentally as his better developed brother." The student who resorts to dishonesty in his university work undoubtedly, in most instances, does so under stress and because of his fear of failure He is not so well prepared for the mental work put upon him; and with a somewhat weakened constitution, he falls an easy prey to temptation of every sort.
"It is our belief, therefore, that the student who is vigorous physically is more apt to perform all his duties with efficiency and honesty. We believe, for this reason in the development of the body, in its proper exercise, and in giving weak students every opportunity to improve their physical condition. It is thus the duty of the university to adequately provide for the physical welfare and health of its students in every way possible."
HAZERS WILL WALK IT OUT
West Point Cadets to Be Punished, Not Dismissed.
Three young West Point Cadets will have a fair chance to break Pedestrian Weston's record, as the penalty for hazing fourth-class men, under the terms of an order issued by the superintendent of the military academy. Had it not been for the special act of congress, authorizing the secretary of war to dispose of their cases in accordance with the new regulations, they would have been expelled from the academy.
Cadet Robert N. Bodine drew a sentence of confinement to the barracks, area and gymnasium and of walking the usual punishment tour each Wednesday and Saturday until the cadets go into summer camp. Thereafter he is to be confined to one part of the camp and to walk five hours daily (except Sundays and holidays) until July 5.
Cadets Edward C. Boykin and Harold M. Hayner of the third class, are to have the same punishment except that their tours will expire June 25 next.

"TAG" SALE A SURPRISE
Preparations Being Made for Gala Day Celebration—Men Sell Tags Tomorrow.
FIRST THOUSAND SOLD IN
TWO HOURS.
Extensive preparations for the Girls' Gala Day and the performance of "Alice in Wonderland" are under way this afternoon. Workmen are constructing an open-air stage in the amphitheater west of Green hall. Seats will be placed for an audience of 2,000. A stage is also being built in the gymnasium and the seating arranged so that if bad weather prevents an outdoor performance, the play can be given in doors without delay. Booths are being erected in Marvin grove and on top of the hill, where freshments will be sold.
The remarkable sale of tags which are tickets of admission to the performance of "Alice in Wonderland," astonished ever the managers of the campaign They had ordered one thousand tags in the first lot. These had all been sold by chapel time yesterday morning, and there was a hull of two hours in the selling, while an additional supply was being printed. The sale yesterday afternoon and today has run well into the second thousand of tags. Forty young women sold tags to the men on the hill yesterday and today. The tables will be turned tomorrow morning when a band of young men will sell tags to the young women.
The members of the cast held their last rehearsal in the gymnasium this afternoon. A dress rehearsal was held last night There are sixteen main characters in the cast and a chorus of sixty

PRACTICE BEGINS.
Spring Football Workouts Began Yesterday Afternoon — Two Teams Will Be Organized.
The thud of the pig skin as it was being booted around MeCook was heard over the golf links last night and the hearts of the football devotees were glad. In answer to the call sent out by Coach Kennedy, twelve men donned the padded adornments and journeyed over the hill for the first real spring football practice of the year. Kennedy and Mosse were on the receiving line and set each man to work handling the ball. No strenuous work was done and there will be none until Saturday when two teams will be organized and some real practice work started.
"We expect to have at least thirty men in the line-up Saturday," said Coach Kennedy this morning. "Many of the regulars are now engaged in baseball or track work, but before we quit we will have them all in the game."
CHOSE COUNCIL MEMBERS.
NUMBER 91
At a meeting held yesterday the women of the junior class elected Grace Wilkie and Agnes Husband as their representatives on the Women's Student Government association for next year. Carrie Calhoun and Glendale Griffiths were elected to represent the sophomore class.
Juniors and Sophomore Members Ected Yesterday.
The freshman meeting was not well attended and the election was postponed until next Monday at 12:15.
PROM TO HAVE TWO FEATURES
NO RECEIVING LINE AND A FARCE THIS SPRING.
There will be two original features in this year's Sophomore Prom, which is to be given at Fraternal Aid hall tomorrow night. One is the fact that there will be no receiving line and the second, a farce, will be added to the evening's entertainment.
Sophomores' Annual Party Will Be Given in Fraternal Aid Hall Tomorrow Night.
All is now in readiness for the big party of the second year students. Tomorrow morning the hall will be decorated with pennants and palms, ferns, and flowers, and the chairs placed on the first floor for the farce-goers. The refreshments will be served in three courses under the same direction as the Junior Prom refreshments. The farce will begin promptly at 9 o'clock and the grand march at 10:15.
The farce, it is said, is original in every detail. The play is a two-act musical comedy, written by George II. Bowles. Through it a number of song hits by the same author will be introduced. They include three choruses and seven solos.
All have been published in book form and will be sold at the Prom Among them are "I'm in Love With the Man in Front," "At the Doghouse," a local hit, "Castilian Love," "My Dream World," "I'm Not Used to That," "Floie" and "The Athletic Man."
The first act of the play has a local setting and the second is set in Chicago. The cast of characters includes 25 people and the chorus twelve. The leading girl's part will be taken by Nina Pilkenton and the leading man will be James Boring. Kelly's orchestra will furnish the music for the farce as well as for the dance. The farce is under the direction of Miss Gertrude Mossler, head of the department of expression.

NEBRASKA SATURDAY
Varsity Tennis Men Will Play the Cornhuskers—Baker Tournament Postponed.
While the Nebraska and Kansas track teams are fighting it out on MeCook Field Saturday afternoon the Varsity tennis team will be doing battle with the same opponents on the courts at Lincoln. The Nebraska team is made up of old timers who are expecting to take the visitors into camp. On the Husker team will be Ralph Weaverling, who was for a year on the K. U. tennis squad and who will make things exceedingly warm for his old team-mates.
At the northern school much interest is being taken in the coming match and the tennis association expects to sell 500 tickets for the match.
At this time no other date has been set for the match, but it will probably take place some day next week.
The men from whom the team that will go to Nebraska will be picked are: Watson, Bigelow, Wood, Hawes Motz and Seddon.
The tennis match between the Baker and K. U. teams which has been postponed several times and was to have been played today, has again been called off. One of Baker's players is in Manhattan and will not return in time to play the game.
Verna Rowe of Wilson is visiting Gertrude Murphy this week. She was a student in the Fine Arts School last year.
JAYHAWKERS SEE VICTORY
Anna Powers of Paola is visiting friends here this week.
The Nebraska team's record in a recent meet with Dakota and Morningside appear to be much the same as our men have been making. Each school has five points that the other cannot take from it. The performance of the rivals in the other departments are nearly identical. The Nebraska pole vaulter did eleven feet three inches in the recent meet, assuring the visitors first place in that event. Kansas' sure points come in the high jump. Reed of the northern school has developed a great deal this year, and is running the hundred around 10 seconds. In the Triangular meet Saturday he equaled the varsity record in the 220 dash, running the distance in twenty-two and one-fifth seconds.
As the time for the Nebraska meet approaches the local speeders feel that victory is almost in their grasp. The men are, with the exception of a couple who have bad ankles, in excellent condition and every man on the squad has been working like a fiend.
These marks show that the local sprint artists will have to move along. The time in the quarter that Burke, the Nebraskan made, is not beyond the reach of the locals and the long distance events were run in about the time that the home marathoners are acustomed to travel in.
Varsity Track Men Are All in Good Condition.

There is an agitation at the University for a uniform quiz system which will replace a number of short quizzes by one long one at the end of the term. It is regarded as a much needed change by some students, but the question is one which should be studied carefully before students decide to give the plan their support. Under the present plan a student's standing in many courses is determined largely by the daily class work done during the term, and this seems proper enough when regular daily attendance is insisted on to the extent which prevails at the University of Kansas. Those instructors who place their chief dependence in final examinations to determine the standing of students are probably in the minority. It is believed that one effect of the uniform quiz system would almost surely be to heighten the importance of final examinations. Mid-term examinations might be dispensed with. Many students have cause to believe that the merit of their work can be judged more correctly from the daily recitations than from the "finals," and this class will probably not favor a change. There have been "guns" who have failed to make a remarkable showing in final quizzes. Before any student gives his support to a change in the examination system he should be sure t hat the proposed change will not work to his disadvantage.
It was expected that the University public would respond generously with aid for the Women's Student Government scholarship, but the managers of the enterprise underestimated the response that would be made and their supply of tags was exhausted in the first two hours of selling The student body is always ready
to help a good cause. The Women's Student Government association is assured of a substantial scholarship. This is by far the most important work that has been done by either of the Student Councils.
The Kansas track team is confident of giving a good account of itself in the contest with Nebraska, Saturday and all loyal students will be on the bleachers backing them to win. Something decisive in the way of victory is what is wanted this year, and the team seems to be in shape to satisfy the demand.

The life and personal characteristics of Lewis Carroll, the imitative author of "Alice in Wonderland" were sketched in chapel yesterday morning by Prof. W. S. Johnson.
PROF. W. S. JOHNSON SPOKE.
Told of Author of "Alice in Won derland," in Chapel.
To the mathematicians of England and the Oxford students to whom he lectured on mathematics from 1855 to 1881, Lewis Carroll was known as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, the author of "Euclid and his Modern Rivals" and other more technical books. To the small girls of his acquaintance he was known as an ever sympathetic friend and as a writer of entertaining letters, one of which Professor Johnson read. By the relation of the adventures of Alice down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass,Lewis Carroll became known to English and American readers as the creator of most delicious nonsense. The amusing poem, "Hunting of tls Snark," though its real meaning is unknown, also contributed to his fame.
Professor Johnson characterized "Alice in Wonderland" as belonging to the rare class in literature appealing equally to adults and children. The perfect consistency of the story through out contributes to this result Though the characters of the cards and of the chess men may have no special significance, they as well as the various animals portrayed, have well sustained and distinctive characteristics. Professor Johnson cited some of the experiences of Alice's friends in which events occurred just

Many of our customers have told us that these are the first "dollar shirts" they ever wore that didn't "hunch up" at the collar band and across the shoulders. Another important feature is the immense selection of patterns and colors we display, among them being dozens of novelty patterns which are not to be found elsewhere for less than $1.50. Just now we are making a big hit with our new striped patterns. They are decidedly exceptional for the money.

backward from the order in real life.
In addition to the delightful humor both parts of the story contain a fine literary flavor. Several of the situations presented are excellent satires and the poems recited by the characters are clever parodies on standard English verse. As a whole the stories present a plea for the faculty to appreciate real nonsense and to keep in sympathy with childhood.
GAVE TESTIMONY.
Prof. .H P. Cady, a Witness at Swope Trial Yesterday.
At the Swope trial yesterday at Kansas City, Prof. H. P. Cady testified that under the conditions, hydrocyanic acid could not have been formed in the viscera of Colonel Swope. Prof. H. W. Emerson was also called as a witness, but owing to the fact that he had been in the court room before, was not allowed to testify.
The defense claimed that ammonia formate will rapidly decompose, forming hydrocyanic acid upon distillation at a temperature even as low as the boiling point of water. Prof. Cady's experiments showed, however that it is not formed until the temperature is raised to at least 181 degrees C. or 358 degrees F., and then only very slowly. During the experiments ammonia formate was kept at the boiling point of water for eighteen hours and no hydrocyanic acid was formed.
The senior laws, who expect to take the Kansas state bar examination next spring, met last night with Hon. A.C.Mitchell, secretary of the State Board of Law Examiners, and discussed questions which will probably arise in the coming examinations.

Beginning September 1 of this year he will receive an annual pension of $1650 from that fund.

From 1895 to 1903 he was Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In 1903 he retired from the deanship and because instructor in the department of Mathematics and astronomy. He is now holding that position. Professor Miller is authority on astronomical questions and upon mathematics as well. He is one of the oldest members of the faculty at the present time and one of the most respected as well.

IT WAS TAG DAY.
Almost Every Student Bought the "Cheshire Cat."
"Have you a tag?" ventured a pretty freshman "tag girl" to a senior engineer on the campus yesterday.
"Have I a tag? Well. How much are they?" answered the engineer, straightening his time worn cravat.
"Twenty-five cents. Don't you want two?" You'll be able to take a friend to see 'Alice in Wonderland' then."
"Two-bits, eh?" shid the engineer, putting his hand in his pocket.
"Yes," said the girl, separating two tags from the rest and tendering him the grateful smile that she always gave to purchasers.
"Well, you see," he said, producing two tags, "I've already fallen to this game twice,and now I am broke."
"Oh, you horrid thing!" she said, changing the sweet smile to a look of extreme disgust, and hurrying off to look for a law student.

BALL PLAYERS ARE CONFIDENT
LOOK FOR VICTORY OVER WASHINGTON.
Now That the St. Marys "Hoo doo' Is a Thing of the Past, Men Feel Relieved.
In spite of the sad event that occurred on McCook Saturday, the local ball tossers are not at all discouraged. In fact it seem that the St. Marys "hoodoo" being a thing of the past the team feels relieved and expects to clean up on the rest of the schedule. On Friday and Saturday come the team of the Washington University to do battle with the red and blue. The Pike-way lads will be remembered as the team which last year played a twelve-inning game with the Varsity. In the final act the Varsity drove in a run and clinched the game by a score of three to two.
This year the Washington team is going well. The first defeat that the Pikeways have stumbled on came yesterday at Columbia, when the same Mr. Harper who enjoyed himself at the expense of the local stickers some two weeks ago, put the skids under the Cayou gang by a score of 6 to 2. Poindexter of the Washington team who opposed Harlan in the 12-inning game last year, threw for Washington yesterday. This perfectly good curve artist will probably appear against the locals on Saturday and then the Micks will have to arise and travel.

The commencements announcements which the seniors will end out this year are unique. Upon the cover a large seal of the University of Kansas is embossed, below which is the world "Kansas' and the year MCMX. The cover is shaded in steel gray.

The number of pages of the announcement is much larger than in previous year, being twenty-eight in all.

MUST AUDIT ACCOUNTS.
Ruling Affects All Organizations.
Says Chancellor.
The following ruling was passed by the Board of Regents about a year ago and was published in The Kansan last spring: "All organizations of students are offered the services of a University auditor and are invited for their own security to make use of the same, and all organizations which claim and use the University name or prestige must have the approval of such auditor and must publish an annual statement of their accounts."
The attention of all University organizations is called to this ruling, and accounts should be left at the business offices of the University as early as possible. FRANK SCHROWS

$300 CLEAR FOR SCHOLARSHIP
"ALICE IN WONDERLAND"
A FINANCIAL SUCCESS.
"Alice in Wonderland" was successfully presented yesterday afternoon, before a large crowd of University and towns-people, and as a result more than $300 was cleared for the Woman's Student Government Association, which had charge of the performance. This money, together with $100, which has been acquired by the Association in the past two years, is to be used in founding a scholarship. The details of the arrangements for this scholarship have not yet been completed.
First Girls' Gala Day Given on Campus Yesterday—To Establish a Scholarship.
The play was presented on the campus, and spectators were seated on the sides of the hollow directly west of Green Hall. The play was pretty, and well presented, and the costumes were especially good, both in conception and execution.
Miss Leota McFarlin, as the central figure, made a very pretty and attractive "Alice," speaking her lines particularly well, and she received good support from the large east. The fairy chorus, which appeared in the first and last acts, was particularly attractive and graceful. Before and after the play the audience refreshed themselves at various daily draped booths scattered about the campus, at which tarts, sandwiches, ice cream cones and pink lemonade were sold in large quantities to the hungry and thirsty.
The seating accommodations at the play yesterday were inadequate, and many persons were unable to either hear or see much of the play on this account. The fact that the play was given out of doors and without a stage or sounding board of any sort also made it difficult to hear many of the lines, but generally speaking, "Alice in Wonderland" was a marked success.
RECITAL TONIGHT.
Miss Edith Lawson Will Read "Dawn of Tomorrow."
The graduating recital of Miss Edith Lawson, of the department of expression, will be held in Fraser hall tonight. Miss Lawson will read from Francis Hodgson Burnett's book entitled "The Dawn of a To-Morrow." Six scenes in a London slum are reproduced. The characters of the book are as follows:
Glad, the slum waif who saves him.
Antony Dart, who wants to be saved.
Polly, whom Dart saves.
The thief, whom Dart saves.
Jimmy Montaubyn, whose philosophy saves them all.

SENIOR GIRLS' PARTY.
Will Entertain Men Members of the Class in Gym Tonight.
The young women of the senior class will entertain the young men of the class at what promises to be one of the pleasantest University parties of the season, in the gymnasium tonight. All the men of the class are expected to be at the gymnasium by 8 o'clock. The affair, being in the nature of a "tacky party," will, of course, be absolutely informal. The girls will be masked at the opening of the party.
The young women expect to duplicate the success of the senior girls' party last year. On that occasion a party was given which for a "jolly good time" had never been surpassed at the University.
Neale Wright of Washburn, visited at the Acacia house this morning. Mr. Wright was a special in the College last year.
COMPANY AMUSTERED
Fifty Two Students of the University Now Members of Kansas National Guard.
Dean F. O. Marvin of the University School of Engineering has been asked to deliver the commencement address at Rose Polytechnic Institute of Terre Haute Ind. He will leave the first part of next month and will deliver the address June 9th.
Fifty-two students of the University took their oath this morning to protect and defend the constitution of the United States and the state of Kansas against all enemies, whether domestic or foreign, and conduct themselves according to the law, rules and articles of war, and thus became members of Company A, Kansas National Guards. Colonel Aaron B. Conley, assistant adjutant general of Kansas, was here this morning to muster in the men.
The heavy rains of last week damaged the street railway embankment on the grade south of the hill.
KANSAS LOST GAME TODAY
WASHINGTON HAD LARGE END OF 4 TO 3 SCORE.
The officers of the company are C. R. Shifler, captain; Henry J. E. Ahrens, first lieutenant; Brain- ard R. Stocks, second lieutenant.
There is a possibility that Company A will go in camp at Fort Riley during the coming summer's maneuvers. However, it is not yet definitely decided.
The uniforms, rifles and other equipment which will be used by the company will be sent on a special order direct from the manufacturer. However it will probably be six week before they arrive. During the time the company will drill in Robinson gymnasium each Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock.
Locke Pitched Great Ball,but Bob bles Lost the Game to the Jayhawkers.
Another feather out of the Jayhawk's tail. The score of the Kansas-Washington game this afternoon was 4 to 3. The sad part of it was that Kansas beat herself.
In the very first inning one man was hit by a pitched ball and another got to first on an error. Another bobble and a dinky hit scored two men. In the fourth, Frank made a hit, stole second and came in on Cave's single. At last in the ninth Locke, who had pitched great ball for the whole affair, lost his own game by a base on balls. This one little boble can't be held against him, however, as he pitched as good a ball game as has been seen on McCook this season.
The first run for Kansas came in the fourth when a bobble and a hit by Haller pushed Hanlon across the pan. In the sixth Hanlon led off with a double and scored on an error. In the eighth Kansas tied up the game, assisted by the bobbles of the visitors.
To the Washington pitcher is due much of the credit of the victory. The hits the locals gathered from him were few and far between.
The score by innings:
Kansas ...0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0—3
Wash. ...2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1—4
The score over all games.
The line-up was as follows:

ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE.
Felt by University Seismograph Friday Morning.
The seismograph in the basement of Fraser, began recording vibrations yesterday morning at 1:39, that continued for three hours. Although the readings of the delicate instrument were somewhat confused, owing to the fact that some foreign object was caught in the recording needle, the shock seemed to be between 2,000 and 3,000 miles distant. The direction could not be determined. The vibrations were the heaviest ever recorded by the siesmograph here, and lasted for the longest period of time. Prof. H. P. Cady, who reads the instrument, says that the shocks were more pronounced than any he has ever seen recorded.
INVITATION MEET.
For High Schools of Missouri and Kansas on McCook Field Next Saturday Afternoon.
In the high school invitation meet to be held on MeCook field next Saturday afternoon there will be about 250 high school athletes entered representing about twenty preparatory schools from this state and Missouri. There will be many of the point-winners from last Saturnay's high school meet and a number of Missouri's best high school track athletes entered in the different events.
The K. U. freshmen will enter the largest number of men. Thirty have already filed with Manager Lansdon, Manual Training and Central high schools of Kansas City, Mo., will come next with eighteen men each, Westport, of Kansas City, Wentworth Military Academy and St. Joseph high school will be the other Missouri schools entered. They will enter about ten men each in the meet.
Many prizes will be awarded. A cup will be given the winners of the high school relay race, to the school winning the most points, to the largest individual point-winner, and all recordbreakers. Gold medals for firsts, silver and bronze for seconds and thirds will also be given.
The Kansas baseball team will meet the Baker team before the meet.
"This will be one of the classiest preparatory school meets ever held in the West," said Manager Lansdon this morning, "and we expect to have some high school records shattered if the weather remains good."
THE SOPHOMORE LAST NIGHT
UNIQUE PARTY WAS GIVEN AT FRATERNAL AID.
Farce Was Distinctive Feature— Prom as a Whole Better Than Those of Previous Years.
The Sophomore Prom, given in Fraternal Aid hall last night, was distinctive in that it was the first of the Sophomore annuals to introduce a faree. Couple that fact with good dancing and the usual refreshments that are found at the big parties and you have last night's event in a nut-shell.
The farce, due to the slow arrival of the guests, started later than was planned. Its "make-up" was similar to the Junior in that it was a musical comedy, written entirely by George Bowles, a member of the class. The play was given in two acts, both abounding in clever song-hits. The songs were well sung and adapted to the nature of the play and University life in general. A number of "stage business" features added to the interest. The play was given under the direction of Miss Gertrude Mossler, head of the department of expression at the University.
The formal reception line was eliminated last night, to the satisfaction and approval of the majority of those present. The grand march started shortly after 11 and the dancing about midnight. Eighteen dances and three extras were included in the program, the music for which was played by Kelly's orchestra.
The refreshments were served in three courses. Some delay was experienced in the serving, but this was very likely due to the small size the dining hall. The decorations were simple, palms, ferns, and the numerals '10 and '12, in electric lights. Red lights were also used for "moonlight" dances. About 400 people were present.
The prom as a whole was considerably better than those given by the second-year classes of previous years.
VOICE RECITAL.
Given Thursday Evening by Miss Gertrude Cooper.
Miss Gertrude Cooper gave her graduating voice recital in Fraser hall Thursday evening to the entire satisfaction of her many friends present. The selections given were of such varied nature as to allow full play to her ability. To a naturally pleasing voice,Miss Cooper has given the training to make her a cultured singer.
Miss Cooper was ably assisted in the recital by Miss Elizabeth Dunn, violinist, and Miss Maude Cooke, accompanist.

COMMENCEMENT.
The editor of the Graduate Magazine is devoting a good deal of the space in his publication now to advertising the many pleasures and advantages of Commencement, in an effort to bring back as many of the alumni as possible to enjoy the festivities and ceremonies of that occasion. In an editorial in the April number he expresses distrust of his ability to persuade more than five hundred of the thirty-five hundred alumni to come back. The proper person for such work, he feels, would be one possessed of a few years' experience as advance man for a circus, a few more as colonization agent for a railroad, followed by a term as advertising manager for the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. He continues: "There is nothing the matter with Commencement as an 'attraction.' Nobody who comes ever complains about the, show as he leaves at the end. Those who come once return again and again. The difficulty is to induce any of the three thousand to break, just once, the habit of staying away. The plain truth as told in the conservative style of this magazine seems unable to do it. That is where the Proper Person would come in. A convincing argument that the spending of a week on Mount Oread would enable any alumnus to double his income would bring a good many. A guaranty, with appropriate testimonials, that the Commencement week sunshine, together with the air and altitude of the campus, and the gentle exercise of parading to and from dinners and class functions, never fails to cure the most stubborn of chronic ills, would undoubtedly cause a large defection from the ranks of the three thousand. The promise of a side-show in which the Board of Regents, in a cage might be fed raw pig skin by the spectators would draw the athletically disturbed. An adequate
description of the street ear ride from the depot to the Gymnasium, showing how tame by comparison Bright Angel Trail performance really is, would supply the irresistible part of the advertising for a good many. And so on. But in the absence of the Proper Person, the Magazine will be limited to the same old story and will look for the same old five hundred back in June-with a few new ones just for good measure."
The raising of a scholarship fund by the Women's Student Government association is worthy of going on record as one of the greatest events of the school year. The faculty members and students who devoted long hours of hard work and weeks of careful planning to making the performance of "Alice in Wonderland" a success deserve not only the thanks of the students who will receive financial benefit from their labors, but of the whole University public. They have given an object lesson in directing student effort into channels where it is productive of permanent good.
The light of publicity is to be turned upon the financial standing of University organizations by the enforcement of the rule requiring that the books of all organizations shall be submitted to a University auditor. The Kansan believes the students have a right to know in detail how the affairs which they have entrusted to student managers are being conducted. Publicity can do no harm and there is every possibility that it may do much good.
A MUSICAL PROGRAM.
Given in the Chapel Yesterday Morning.
A musical program took the place of an outside speaker at the chapel exercises yesterday morning and every one present went away feeling he had listened to one of the best concerts of the year. It had been announced that Mrs. Mabel Gore Gleed of Topeka would play, but sickness having impaired her strength so that she felt unequal to the effort, she had secured Prof. C. A. Preyer as her substitute. By request Professor Preyer played the "Hungarian Fantasie," accompanied by Miss Maude Cooke. To say that Professor Preyer played with his usual ability is sufficient explanation of the pleasure with which the audience received the selection.
Mrs. Gleed, who was graduated from the School of Fine Arts in 1887, was, however, able to be present and play the accompaniment for the violin solos by Mise-Fowler of Kansas City. Mise-Fowler's selections, Legendes and Mozurka, by Wieniowski, were so enthusiastically received that she responded to an encore with Humoresque, by Dvorak.
The Nu Sigma Nu medical fraternity entertained the Phi Beta Pi medical fraternity at a banquet at the Eldridge house last Thursday night. The Phi Beta Pi fraternity was lately installed in the University and the banquet was the welcoming of the old fraternity to the new.

M. C. A. Thursday.
SPOKE ON DEMOGRACY.
In speaking on "The Habit of Democracy," at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday evening, Prof. J. E. Boodin gave the men some characteristics of true democracy. Poverty is no necessary element in the members of a genuine democracy, as it is the spirit and not the material condition of life which determines. Boorishness has no claims, but on the contrary chivalry is the mark of the true democrat.
Camera Club to Meet.
Professor Boodin cited Ambas sador Bryce as a high type of the men with the spirit which he commended. He also mentioned Professor Jesse Macey of Grinnell College is a characteristic member of the real democracy. Professor Boodin closed by presenting Jesus Christ as the example for all who would exemplify the spirit which he advocated.
The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Camera club will be held Monday evening at 8 o'clock in the lecture room of the Chemistry building. The program for the evening will be a lecture and practical demonstration on printing from negatives by Ralph C Shuey. This meeting will not only be for the members of the club, but also for all people in the University who are interested in the subject of photography.

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS.
Four Thousand Bulletins on Sub ject Have Been Issued.
Four thousand copies of a twelve page bulletin concerning the religious activities at the University of Kansas have just been received from the state printer and will be promptly mailed out over the state. The larger number will be sent to the seniors of the high schools of Kansas. The bulletin will also be mailed to the newspapers and ministers.
After an introductory statement of the relations of the religious organizations to the students and statistics concerning their church membership and preferences, the bulletin presents the various activities in more detail. The daily chapel exercises, the vesper service, the Bible Institute and other religious weeks are described as the part of the work most directly under the supervision of the University authorities. A picture of students in chapel and one of the exterior of Fraser hall are given.
The student religious organizations which are mentioned along with a brief presentation of their purposes and work are the Young Men's and Young Women's Christion Associations, the Volunteer Band, the Missionary Union, the Religious-Philosophical Union, the Christian Science Society,and the Catholic club.
May Install Student Council.
The students at the University of Arkansas have started a movement to institute a student council at that school. A request was recently received at the University asking that copies of the constitution of the student council here be sent for examination by the promoters of the Arkansas movement.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
IS MADE BY INDUSTRIAL CHEMIST AT UNIVERSITY.
P
E. L. Tague Has Found Process for Manufacturing Casein From Buttermilk.
The announcement was made by Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan this morning that a discovery has been made in the department of industrial chemistry that will benefit the public hundreds of thousands of dollars. This discovery is that of the manufacture of casein, a new process for which has just been completed by E. L Tague, a former University student.
The process is for manufacturing casein from buttermilk, which has thus far been a waste product. For many years this product has been made from sweet milk, but before Mr. Tague discovered the new process no one was able to utilize any waste product in its manufacture.
During the past two years Mr. Tague has been working under an industrial chemistry fellowship, which paid him $500 per year. Since the discovery a contract has been closed with the donors whereby he will receive 10 per cent of the net profits of the manufacture of cascin by several factories which are to be established immediately at different places in the country.
The value of the discovery is easily recognized when it is known that in the city of Omaha alone 45,000 gallons of buttermilk have daily gone down the drains, while the manufacture of casein went on through an expensive process and only by the use of sweet milk. The product is very extensively used, some of the most important uses being in the manufacture of glazed paper, brushes, combs, billiard balls, and numerous other articles.
By the terms of the agreement with the donors of the fellowship the University protects them in the use of the processes for three years, after which they are to be published.

WILL AUDIT ACCOUNTS
ORGANIZATIONS MUST PRE SENT REPORTS.
Letter, Making Request Sent Out by Chancellor Today-Official Registration Next Year.
Letters requesting an audit of the accounts of all the University organizations were sent out this morning. One of the communications goes to the head of each of the societies. It first calls attention to the existing ruling of the Board of Regents, providing a University auditor, whose services are given to the organizations and later stating that all organizations claiming the use and prestige of the University's name must publish an annual statement of their accounts.
The letter also asks that all accounts be in the hands of the Chancellor by May 23. They will then be turned over to the University auditor and later be published.
Moreover, the plan at present for next year is that all organizations must maintain a definite organization in order to retain the privilege and prestige of being connected with the University.
The organizations which will be included in the coming audit are the treasurers of all the classes, the Senior Play management, the chairman of the Cap and Gown committee, the chairman of the Senior Invitation committee, the University Orchestra, the Glee Club, the Band, the Masque Club, the Thespian Club, the Debating Council, the Graduate Magazine, the Kansas Lawyer, the Jayhawker, and The Kansan.
Although the ruling calling for this audit has been in force for nearly a year, it has never before been completely enforced. This year, however, a statement of the receipts and expenditures of every one of the above organizations will be required.
FROM OTHER COLLEGES

HAD PRACTICE GAME.
'New Football Puts a Premium on Interference,' Says Kennedy, After Morning's Work.
For two hours this morning two teams of Jayhawkers, captained by "Mike" Lynch and Roy Speer, tried out the latest improvements in football rules on the green south of MeCook field. The purpose of the practice was not to pile up touchdowns, but to find out what football is really going to be like under the new rules. The game was played without officials, for neither the new rules nor the penalty for violating them are known definitely.
"The hardest thing we had to do this morning was to keep from helping the man with the ball, which has become a second nature with us," said Coach Kennedy. "The new game will put a premium on interference. As the man with the ball can't be helped from behind, some means of helping him from the front must be perfected. In other ways the new game looks to me like a return to old-fashioned football with mass play eliminated. I think the offense and defense are pretty well balanced, but as it will be hard to gain eight yards, there will be a great deal of kicking."
The Phi Gamma Delta house at Indiana University was lately completely destroyed by fire.
Coach Kennedy thinks the four days of practice and study of the game will be of great value to the team next fall.
HARVARD OK'S KISSING.
Cornell has a unique baseball league in which the faculties of the several colleges are represented.
Medical Expert Shatters the Microbe Theory.
Cambridge, Mass., May 11. Harvard has officially put its OK on kissing. Dr. A. M. Worthington, of the medical school, an expert on bacteria, not osculation, says that there is no reason whatever why healthy and well-intentioned couples should not indulge in kissing to their heart's content.
"Kissing harmful? Certainly not! No, sir! There is no possible reason in the world or proof why, when two self-respecting wholesome persons meet lip to lip they can't break away without upsetting the bacterial balance. Perhaps the only serious danger springing from such a union would affect the heart only."
Incidentally, his statement shatters the theory advanced many times by professors of other universities that kissing is dangerous, because it makes a swap of microbes, and illness in one or both parties to the union often follows such diversions. Said Dr. Worthington:
Dr. Worthington asserted that if bacteria were driven from the land the world would become a desert scattered with the world's dead. Germs are humble in their needs, but stupendous in their life work, he said.
Columbia undergraduates who eat at the commons have been notified of a 25c raise in the board rate. A senior manages the table and he claims that the increased price of meats is responsible.
Charles G. Lathrop, treasurer and general manager of Leland Stanford, says the university is just beginning to recover from the earthquake of 1906, and that it will cost $2,500,000 to repair the damage.
WASHINGTON LOST FIRST
SCORE OF INITIAL GAME 11
TO 6 FOR KANSAS.
Errors Were Numerous, but the Jayhawks Were Fiends at the Bat.
Speaking of yesterday's ball game—In the first place we won by a 11 to 6 tally. In the second we owe the contestants a vote of thanks for their laudable attempt to renew the youth of the bleacherites. Yesterday's exhibition carried us back to the little lot around the corner where we used to play one old eat. Errors, swats, bone-heads and everything else that goes to make up a good old town-lot game was much in evidence.
The thing that relieved the situation was the hitting of the Rockeyites. The boys fattened up the swatting averages. On the other hand as the per centages in the hit column rose those on the fielding side of Manager Lansdon's ledger dropped. Only nine errors were chalked up to the discredit of the red and blue athletes
K. U. started the fireworks in the first act with four runs, which came as the result of four hits and an error. In the second three more were added. Two came in the third and two in the sixth and one in the seventh. In the third the Pikeways gleaned three by reason of two passes and three errors. In the fourth, fifth and seventh each, one visitor dented the rubber.
Of all the swatters who swatted, and they were many, Jim Smith swatted the most. Out of four trips to the pan he rammed out two singles, a double and a home run.
Batteries—K. U. Heizer and Rockefeller. Washington U.—Poindexter, Cave, Ansehutz and Walther. Hits—Off Heizer, 5; off Poindexter, 6; off Cave, 8. Bases on balls—Heizer, 5; Poindexter, 2; Ansehutz, 1. Struck out—By Heizer, 5; Cave, 2; Ansehutz, 2.

THE VALUE OF PICTURES.
Editor Says Illustrations Are Be- coming More Popular Everywhere.
E. E. Slosson, literary editor of the Independent, recently gave a talk upon the increasing use of graphical representation of ideas in modern journalism before the newspaper classes at the University of Illinois. Mr Slosom says that he thinks that the best opportunity in the field of words are not the best way of conveying ideas, but on the contrary, as Mr. Slosson showed are almost the least effective. The first attempts at graphical representation were very crude and consisted mostly of diagramatic comparisons by means of lines or curves. Now the tendency is to use artistic photographs or drawings in prospective which are much more vivid and life-like. Foreign work in this line is far in advance of American pictures, especially as to their artistic merit.
More time and brains are put into advertising illustrations than into the regular illustrations.
Pictures are of immense value to a magazine that is doing things The emotional appeal of a picture illustrating some well-known but under-estimated facts in the life about is very strong. A great part of the value of a picture is that it conveys the appeal in the easiest possible way. It is better adapted to the rush of the modern world than the best literary style. The field of illustrating presents the best opportunity in the field of journalism today to those possessing some artistic ability.-Daily Illini.
Mr. Slossom was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1890.

PROMISES TO BE A SUCCESS
SENIOR PLAY AT OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT.
"Graft"" Is the Title of the Original Play to Be Given—The Seat Sale Large.
One important post was vacant when the senior play cast met last night to hold the dress rehearsal of "Graft," which is to be presented at the Bowersock opera house tonight. There was no prompter—but that fact was not learned from anything that went on on the stage. The players were letter-perfect in their parts, and a prompter, if one had been provided, would have spent a dull evening.
But for the absence of an audience the rehearsal last night might have been taken for a regular performance. The scenery which will be used tonight was in place, and all the properties were on the stage, even to the—— but that would be telling. The managers of the play, while they are anxious enough to have this write-up appear,don't want The Kausan really to tell anything about what the play is like. It is a tradition that the senior play must be a mystery until the curtain goes up.
This much can be said, however, the play itself is a credit to its student writers and if the players work as well tonight as they did at the dress rehearsal the production will be a success.
The title of the play will be ex-
plained early in the first act.
"Graft" runs all the way through.
Even Dan Cupid gets in his graft
before the curtain falls on the
fourth act.
The seat sale, as is usual at senior plays, has been large. Nearly all the tickets for both performances have been sold.
PIANO RECITAL.
Given Tuesday by Miss Caldwell and Miss Wolfe.
The graduating recital of Miss Kate Caldwell and Miss Amy Wolfe given in Fraser hall Tues day evening was attended by the many friends of the two partici pants.
The program consisted of several piano solos and duets the interpretation of which was appreciated by every one present.
Miss Caldwell and Miss Wolfe were assisted by Professor Carl Preyer, Mr. Joseph Farrel and Mr. Ralph Stevens.
TEAM TO MISSOURI.
Baseball Men Meet Tigers at Columbia Saturday.
Missouri University will certainly have a touch of real Kansas life this week, for in addition to the track team's invasion of their lair, Miek Ebright and his baseball tossers will be in Columbia for a two-day's engagement. Twelve men and the Coach left yesterday afternoon and are this afternoon playing the game at the Tiger stronghold. Tomorrow the second game will be played and immediately the journey homeward will be made, for on Saturday the lads from Baker are to be taken on for a nine round session.
NUMBER 94
The following men took their suit cases and started yesterday Capt. Rockefeller, Walker, Huff, Hanlon, Palmer, Smith, Haller, Hezer, Harvey, Doyle, Farrell, Looke.
COUNCIL ORGANIZES
Special Meeting Next Tuesday to Begin Work.
The newly elected members of the Student Council met Tuesday afternoon and organized for the coming year. George Neal, secretary of last year's Council, was present and outlined the work that had been undertaken during the past winter. The plans of Ralph Spotts, the new president were then discussed informally
A special meeting will be held on Tuesday afternoon at which time another member from the School of Engineering will be elected and the real work of the Council begun. President Spotts will probably outline the general policy of the student governing body in chapel tomorrow morning.
Several New Members Added This Week.
QUILL CLUB ELECTS.
Several new members were elected to the Quill club at the regular meeting of the organization Tuesday afternoon. The students elected are juniors and seniors who have done original work in writing in composition courses in the University. The new members are Martin Brooks, Edith Russell, Carol Hayden, Walter Le Clere, Robert Fisher, Eliot Porter, Lois Stevens, Oreta Moore Grace Russell and Will Huff.
The program for the meeting was a discussion of Mark Twain, by Miss Wenrich and John Shea, and original poems by C. O. Van Dyke.
MAY WIN THE TIGER MEET
COACH HAMILTON OPTIMIS TIC ABOUT OUTCOME.
Will Leave for Columbia Tomor row Morning—Little Change in Personnel of Team.
"If we can take both places in the hurdles and place in the weight events, we will beat Missouri on her own grounds next Saturday," was the rather optimistic remark made by Coach Hamilton this morning.
Practically the same team that met Nebraska last Saturday will contest with the Tigers, and the coach is basing his hopes for victory on every man being in good form. Winters will not be entered in the low hurdles in order to allow him time to rest for the broad jump. Don Davis will do Winter's hurdle stunt. Gordon Smith, who made a good showing in the quarter mile last Saturday, will probably be entered in the relay. Aside from this there will be no changes in the personnel of the team.
Of course the dope is against Kansas this year as it has been for time immemorial, for although the Jayhawks took the meet last year, it was probably due to the absence from the meet of four of the best Tiger athletes. At any rate it is current opinion of the followers of sport that Missouri ought not to take the meet by more than ten points.
Coach Hamilton and his men leave the home barricades tomorrow morning and if the proverbial god Pluvius allows no little drops of water to fall on the field at Columbia, Kansas expects to do a few stunts on the Tigers' cinder path.
WILL ATTEND MEETING.
Paof. Parmalee a Delegate to Charities Convention.
Professor M. Parmalee, of the department of sociology and economics, will leave Friday for St. Louis, where he will attend the annual meeting of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections. He will read a paper Wednesday on "Scientific Basis for the Treatment of Problems of Criminology and Penology." Professor Parmalee was appointed delegate from the state of Kansas by Governor W. R. Stubbs.

KANSAS WON DOUBLES.
Tennis Games With Baker Played This Afternoon.
This afternoon the Kansas University tennis players are playing the Baker University team on the Alpha Tau courts. In the doubles Kansas is represented by Watson and Bigelow, Woods and Sedden, while Watson,Seddon, Woods and Motz will compete in the singles. In the doubles Watson and Bigelow defeated the Baker contestants by the score of 6-4 and 6-1 in the first match. Woods and Seddon defeated Baker in the first game by the score of 6-4.
The tennis team, consisting of four men who have not been chosen will leave tomorrow at 7 a.m. with the track team to Columbia, where they will compete against the Missouri team Saturday.
Kansas came off victor in the match with Nebraska, but the Missouri men are strangers to the Kansas players and the chances with them in tennis is unknown. The men who probably will go to Columbia are the three "K" men, Watson, Woods, Bigelow, and as a fourth man it will probably rest between Motz and Seddon.
STUDENT CHAPEL SPEAKERS
Representatives of Government Associations Will Talk
Tomorrow will be Students' Day at the chapel services. Representatives of the two student government associations will be present and speak in regard to the work done and planned by the organizations. Ralph Spotts will speak for the men's association. The speaker for the women has not yet been announced. Miss Helen Janes will sing.
It had been planned to award the athletic letters at this time to the athletes who have represented the University in activities other than football, but this can not be done, as the baseball team and track men will be at Columbia for contests with the University of Missouri. However, the emblems for University debaters will be awarded at this time.
Prof. R. K. Duncan, who has been in Rochester, N.Y., on business for the past week, will return Saturday.
Miss Carmine Wolfe, '03, is visiting her sister Amy, a senior in the School of Fine Arts.
"JAYHAWKER OUT TONIGHT
1910 BOOK MOST ELABORATE EVER ISSUED.
Is Dedicated to Prof. Erasmus Haworth—"Jokes" Are Most Pungent Ever Offered.
The 1910 "Jayhawker" will go on sale at the senior play tonight. The entire edition is now in Lawrence and 400 copies now on the hill will be offered to purchasers tomorrow morning.
The "Jayhawker" this year is a book of even 400 pages, bound in ooze sheep. Typographically, it is more elaborate than any annual ever before attempted at the University of Kansas. The end-papers bear a K. U. monogram in blue, and on each page thte "The 1910 Jayhawker" appears in red. All the space in the book is utilized. Short pages at the ends of departments are filled out with half-tones of University views.
The general make-up of the Jayhawker is the same as in former years. The book is dedicated to Prof. Erasmus Haworth. Following the roster of the faculty the pictures and notices of the seniors are given. The first 171 pages of the book are given to this purpose. Fraternities occupy 45 pages, other organizations and societies 67 pages, and athletics 29 pages.
Then comes the rest of the book. It has no name, probably because the editors could not think what to call it, but the department is prefaced by a clever charcoal drawing of a fool's head with cap and bells, by Emil Grignard. This is the department of barbed shafts and a hasty scanning of its pages leads one to the conclusion that the editors made a special effort not to let a single student escape. And not a few of the faculty members come in for more or less complimentary notice.
The peculiar flavor of the closing pages will insure a continuation of the time-honored custom of reading the Jayhawker backward. Probably the word which best describes the wit and humor of this year's Annual is "merciless." Nobody who has ever done anything on which a quip or caricature can be based, is spared.
Prof. Wm. A. Griffith, of the Fine Arts School, went to Washington, D.C., Tuesday to the second annual meeting of the American Federation of Art. While there he will make a report on the Kansas Art association.

A journey through the comet's tail has been proved to be an intensely dull and wholly unexciting incident. At least, the only excitement which the earth-dwellers felt was what they were able to cook up in their own imaginations. The comet failed to do its share. Whatever may be the truth about republics, there is no doubt that comets are ungrateful. The largest staff of press agents the world has ever seen has been at work for months painting all sorts of possibilities attendant upon the passage of the earth through the comet's tail. Finally the dread hour arrives—the earth puts on its goggles and plunges into a five-million-mile section of the track where a blinding star-dust storm is raging, and—nothing happens. Not only are the people disappointed who climbed Mount Oread to see the world burn up but they are not even able to laugh themselves to death on cyanogen gas. There was not ever the "faint glow in the sky" which the more conservative of the comet's press agents foretold, for at Lawrence the sky was clouded and it was raining.
ON SCHOLARSHIP
President Carter of Williams College, in an address to the alumni of that school in New York, made a humorous defense of good scholarship which has also a serious side. "A valedictorian is not to be too much blamed," says President Carter. "Someone has to be at the head of the class as well as at the foot, though it is really difficult to tell who is at the foot, as there are many competitors for that position. We must remember that once in a while a man can not fail to be at the head of his class, and should not be blamed for it." Then President Carter went on to tell of many valedictorians who, contrary to the usual fiction, had filled places of honor and importance in after life. He closed with a plea for making scholarships a more important feature of the college life Commenting on the speech the Springfield Republic says:
"This word in behalf of schoolship has long been needed by college boys. In these days great emphasis has come to be placed on activities of the student body which are independent of the curriculum. Men concentrate their energies often unduly to secure lace on the college publications in the various athletic teams, either as members or managers thereof, on the glee clubs, the dramatic organizations, and what not these interests are not to be unvalued, and when added after proper attention has been given to the college requirements, they save their helpfulness and legitimate place. It is not a bad thing or a boy to learn something or much of business and sport as they are represented in these lines of activity. This is part of his training. It is too often forgotten however, that the college authorities are supposed to have laid out asks sufficient to profitably ocurry the major part of the time of the student. Scholarship as the ancient purpose of the institution is so often lost sight of. Not all aledictorians are futile when brought into the activities of life after leaving college, as is much he student and popular impression; hence the value of Dr. Carter's exposition. Perhaps it would not be fair to say that the single r best aim of a college is to make cholars. It would be better to recognize that the most helpful being a college can do is to turn out men of trained intellectual powers who are fit and ready to become good citizens. They must be factors in the salvation of genuine democracy. There is indeed little danger as things are going that scholarship will be too greatly magnified—the best that we can hope is that it will not be minimized beyond the bounds of good sense. Always the democratic spirit is to be fostered by trustees faculty and students, and happily the signs are many that this great office of a college is being recognized."
IN KANSAS CITY CONCERT.

M. U. Uses New Game in Spring Practice.
PLAYING "TAG" FOOTBALL
University Missourian.
Tag, you're down
This was the way a player was tackled in the "new football" as played yesterday morning on Rollins field. The Law-Aeademic team defeated the Engineer-Farmer team by a score of 14 to 0.
The game as played yesterday is not the revised game of college football, but a scheme of play devised for spring practice at the fall, were the stars of the new University of Missouri. LeMare, Calvin, Craig, Mills and Graves, players on the freshman team last game, LeMare and Calvin handled the forward passes with ease and prevented the Engineer-Farmer combination from gaining the ends, Mills, Severs, Craig, and Graves had no trouble advancing the ball for the Lawyer-Academ team.
From the spectators' point of view the game was rather slow. There was no tackling and no line plunges were used. Neither of the teams used the regular football quarterback. Instead they had "safety" players back of the offense. The object of the game is to develop men for the fall football teams.
Dean Sayre Returns.
Prof. L. E. Sayre, dean of the School of Pharmacy, returned Wednesday night from the East where he has been attending the convention of the American Pharmaceutical association in Washington, D.C., and the United States Pharmacopoca at Richmond, Va. The Dean went to Kansas City, Tuesday where he attended the convention of the Western Pharmacopoca.

Lawrence World Wants Change in University Custom.
The Lawrence Daily World, in last night's issue took the following view of the custom of students buying Annuals at the senior play:
"Time out of mind it has been the custom for students who take their girls to the senior play to buy an annual for the "lady fair,"the price of which amounts usually to two dollars per. As the custom has become very deeply imbedded, the young man has, of course had to figure this two "plunks" in with the expense of the evening.
"Not only with many other radical reforms and breakage of customs which have been taking place all during this year of 1909-1910, it only seems fitting that this "buy an Annual" proposition should be nullified. So there are many "economical" students who have raised up in arms against this said custom and demand that freshmen, sophomores and such who take their girls to the play forget about the Annual and put their two simoleons in the bank, or on their board bill. Of course, if you are a senior and are taking a senior girl to the play that is different—buy her a Jayhawker and give it to her with your compliments. That is what the "insurgents" say, but it is probable that the views of the annual managers will not coincide in lieu of the fact that those annuals have to be sold to someone and the students cannot better show their loyalty to the graduating class than to give up their two "bones." However, it is probable that the custom will stand in spite of the fact that football has been turned upside down."
FOR INTER-CLASS DEBATES
Students in Public Speaking Favor Their Encouragement.
At a round-table discussion of the students in the department of public speaking this morning, the question of encouraging inter-class debating for next year was considered. A majority of the students favored a series of class debates. They proposed that the freshmen and sophomores and the juniors and seniors hold a debate next fall. The winners of each contest are to clash in a final contest for the college class championship.
Some of the members of the class favored more debating clubs to encourage public speaking in the University. It is understood that the University debating council will meet soon to consider the plan.

PASSEDTHROUGH AT ONE-THIRTY
EARTH LEFT COMET'S TAIL EARLY THIS MORNING.
Professor Cady and McFarland of Chemistry Department Conducting Experiments.
At 1:30 this morning the earth passed out of the tail of Halley's comet and no disastrous effects were felt. In fact Prof. H, P. Cady says, "Halley's comet is a fraud so far as the observations are concerned. During most of the time it has been too cloudy or "mooney" to make many observations. We have been running the liquid air machine constantly for the last two days and by so doing may collect some particles of meteoric dust.
Then, on the tops of Fraser hall and the Chemistry building we have had men filtering air, but the result will not be known for several days. By these methods we will accomplish the same results that will be accomplished at Yerkes observatory in California where they have erected a tower and have plates coated with glycerine to catch the radio-active particles. These are so very small, that they are almost inconceivable They form the tail of the comet and are so minute that the pressure of light keeps the tail at all times away from the sun.
Professor McFarland who, with Professor Cady, has charge of the observations, says that owing to the fact that the air is so rarified it is impracticable to analyze the air before and after the passing of the comet. This is being done in several universities, but it is proving a failure.
The weather bureau has sent instructions to the chemistry department giving full particulars regarding observations, but as yet not any conspicuous phenomena have been discovered. Yesterday afternoon there was a halo, called "Bishop's Ring" around the sun, owing to the fact that meteoric dust was in the air.
Last night the clouds were illuminated because of the presence of the comet.
Prof. Ephraim Miller, head of the department of astronomy,says that the earth came in contact with the comet's tail at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and passed through until 1:30 this morning It was not visible last night, but may be seen tonight or tomorrow night at 10:30 in the western part of the sky.
Professor Cady and Paul Farragher, together with a special writer for the Kansas City Star, kept a night vigil during all of last night in order to make the experiments.
Many Meets Were Held.
Track meets of considerable interest were held last Saturday from New York to the Pacific coast. At Syracuse, N. Y., Michigan defeated the Syracuse track team by a score of 83 to 48. Horner of Michigan won in all 14 points, taking four seconds and a third. Illinois defeated Chicago in a dual track meet by a score of 67 to 59. The first annual meet of the Pacific Coast Inter-collegiate conference was held at Berkeley, Cal. The University of Washington team took first place in the meet. California was second and Oregon third.

DIDN'T LIKE ROOTING.
Proverbial Person Thinks Rooters Should Yell Louder.
The middle-aged man with the K. U. jewelry looked nervously about the depot platform and then approached a student. "Say," the middle-aged man broke out, "I've got on a life-sized grouch that is going to stay with me for some time."
The student looked about for an avenue of escape, but seeing none, held his ground.
Now, continued the man with the K. U. jewelry, "my name is Bunk—Bill Bunk, of K. C., and being an old K. U. man, I came down here Saturday to see the ball game. Well, the bleachers resembled a Sunday school convention or a committee of condolence. In the first inning I tried to arouse a little enthusiasm by rooting for our team, with the result that I shocked a girl to such an extent that she stopped chewing her gum for fully five chews and a group of freshmen behind me "hawed." Once during the game the bleachers gave forth a pale imitation of Rock Chalk and then settled back comfortably after this duty. No team can ever win with such support as this. Now when I was in school—" but just here the train pulled in and when the grouch went for his suit case, the student dodged behind a trunk and disappeared in the direction of the Eldridge.

The Fit
of your Trousers is every bit as important as the fit of your Coat.
Particularly in Summer when a man's very apt to lay aside his coat and discard suspenders in favor of a belt. The people who make our clothes have the knack of making trousers that really fit. Close fitting around the waist, snug over hips and seat, doing away with that uncomfortable dragging and sagging. All made with that new idea of ours—unfinished bottoms—so that we can finish them to exactly the right length, even to a fraction of an inch, and to cuff bottom or plain bottom, as preferred. Costs us a little more to do this, but it adds to your satisfaction.

IT LOOKS BAD FOR FRESHMEN
DOPE AGAINST THEM IN SAT. URDAY'S MEET.
Central and Manual Are Both Sending Fast Teams—Baker Kansas Baseball Game.
Dope has it bad for the University freshmen in the annual invitation meet, which is to come off Saturday. From the present out look Manual or Central from Kansas City look good for the greatest number of points.
Harold Woodbury, captain of the freshmen, said today that his men were in poor shape and that the chances for the freshmen are not so bright. Gribble, who does the quarter-mile, is laid up with a sprained ligament. Harold Woodbury has a stone bruise on his heel, which will interfere materially with his chances in the hurdles. Schwab, the weight and short distance man, is laid up and will not be in the meet.
The team from Central high school looks good to some of the fans and their chances for the meet look bright, with Reber in the dashes,Davis in the pole vault. Slaughter in the quarter mile and the Marsh brothers in the distance.
Manual also sends an experienced and a fast team. Kanatzer will appear in the weights. These points are conceded to Manual. Koeningsdorf, who has taken all of the first places in the short distances from all of the high schools in the Missouri valley that he has competed against, looks like a sure point winner in these events. These are just two of the seventeen men that Manual sends; the rest of the team are dark horses.
In the meet there are fourteen high schools entered with ninety-seven men competing, so it is almost impossible to prophecy who will win the most points. The freshmen are entering twenty men. Among them are Gribble, C. and H. Woodbury, Strain, Daniels, and Theis.
Westport sends twelve men, all of whom are dark horses. It is possible that the high schools sending only one or two men might take two or three first places and prevent any of the high schools from winning the cup for the winner of the meet.
As usual there will be medals for those who take places, silver loving cups for the athletes winning the most points, and a silver loving cup for the winning relay team and the team winning the meet.
The events will start promptly at 1 o'clock. After the meet ends the annual Baker-Kansas baseball game will be played.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
VOLUME VI.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 21, 1910
PLEASED TWO AUDIENCES
"GRAFT," THE SENIOR PLAY, WAS A SUCCESS.
Differs From Most Senior Plays in Being a Serious Problem Play-Cast Did Good Work.
The second performance of "Graft," the senier play, was given before a crowded house last night. The performance was smoother even than was given Thursday night, and as pleasing to the audience as the first performance had been. The members of the junior class were the guests of the seniors last night.
Those who were looking for the ordinary kind of senior play full of local hits were disappointed—that is, until they became absorbed in the unraveling of the plot of "Graft," for the play was remarkably successful in holding the interest of all who saw it. The play was especially appreciated by the townspeople because it could be easily understood by everyone, not requiring a knowledge of University conditions to make all points clear as a local play would have done.
The plot of "Graft" is concerned with the uncovering of a "crooked deal" in railroad construction on the R. M. & W. railroad, by substituting poor steel in building a bridge for the high grade metal which the contract called for. Roy Dietrich as Green the assistant engineer, Harry Rogers as Templeton, the agent of the Union Steel Co., and J. E. Miller as Henderson the boss of the construction work, play the parts of the men who have entered an agreement to rob the railroad company. They plan to throw the blame on Winsett the division engineer, played by L. C. Guise. Ralph Spotts as Channing, the general manager, visits the bridge, discovers the fraud practiced, and demands Winsett's resignation, when Vale Nance as Jack Logan, a K. U. engineer of the class of 1910 appears on the scene as a new employee of the R. M. & W. He and Bert Summers, a Kansas law graduate, played by Carl Eddy, together discover the real culprits and prevent Winsett's discharge.
KANSAS WON TRACK MEET FROM MISSOURI: 551 TO 531
The first and third scenes of the play are laid in the office of Winsett, and there is enacted an interesting courtship scene between Harold Longwell, the clerk, and Bess, the stenographer, the parts being taken by Herbert Cowan and Maude Brown. Homer Conley won applause in these acts as an impertinent messenger boy. The second act is laid at the construction camp. The stage setting for this act was especially good, showing the tents of the workmen, the cook-shack and the transits and the other equipments of the engineers. Mary Alice Jones appeared in this act as Molly Henderson, the boss's daughter, and by her clever acting added much to the
In a Garrison finish the Jayhawkers won the track meet from Missouri at Columbia this afternoon. Kansas won the meet by taking the relay. This makes the second track meet that Kansas has taken from Missouri, the first one being last year's out-door meet at Lawrence.
There were many surprises in the meet. Kansas took first and second in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash, the 220-yard hurdles. Hamilton won the 220-yard hurdles in 26 flat, thereby breaking the University record of 26.2.
--realism of the scene and won much favorable comment. Logan, the K. U. engineer, has a talk with Molly, and discovering that she wishes to get away from camp life and go to school, he tells her about life at the University of Kansas. In this way, a number of references to the University are worked into the play. Dick Adams, as Mike, the foreman, and Tom Stephenson as Jerry, the Swedish cook, furnish the humor for the camp scene.
The final score was $55\frac{1}{2}$ to $53\frac{1}{2}$ —almost identically the score by which the Cornhuskers won from Kansas last Saturday at Lawrence
The record of events is as follows: 100-yard dash, Haddock first, Roberts second. Kansas 8, Missouri 0. 220-yard dash, Haddock first, Roberts second; Kansas 8, Missouri 0. 400-yard run, Bermond of Missouri first; Missouri 8, Kansas 0; mile run, Steele of Missouri first, Watson of Kansas second.

ARE TENNIS CHAMPIONS.
U. Team Won Singles and Doubles From Missouri Today.
Columbia, Mo., May 21.-The University of Kansas tennis team, Watson, Wood, Bigelow and Seddon, won the Missouri Valley championship in the tournament with Missouri here today, carrying off the honors in both singles and doubles.
Following are the members of the committee which produced the senior play: Vale Nance, chairman; J. E. Miller, Gail Sutton, Erwin Snattinger, Edith Lawson, Hal Harlan, Helen Jones. Milton Cain was manager of the play.
Miss Gertrude Mossler, who trained the cast for the play, expressed her appreciation of the good work the amateur actors had done. "The members of the cast learned their parts in a remarkably short time," said Miss Mossler. "The play could have been put on Monday night if it had been necessary."
The scene in the fourth act is the home of Winsett, at a party which his daughter is giving, ignorant of the trouble her father is in. Pearl Stuckey as the daughter of Winsett, and Edna Hopkins as the daughter of Channing, were alumni of K. U. who were interested in Bert Summers and Jack Logan respectively. Laurenia Shaw as Miss Channing's emotional aunt Deborah, supplied much of the comedy interest of the play. Gretchen Rankin made one appearance as maid, in the fourth act. "Graft" is essentially a "man's play." The emphasis is on the men's parts, but the clever acting of the feminine roles made those parts of great interest.

A dramatic club, similar to those which are maintained at the University of Michigan and Chicago, has been organized at the University. The purpose of the organization will be the writing and producing of original plays. The name, Red Domino club, has been given to the society.
For some time a number of the students of the school who are most interested in dramatics, have been considering the organization of such a club. They had in mind a society which would produce one elaborate original play each year. That plan is carried out at a number of the different schools throughout the country and has proven very successful'.
Finally, ten students completed the organization this week. The ten will be charter members and will hold regular meetings this spring to plan for next year's work. The charter members are Moe Friedman, president; George Powles, vice president; Miss Tess Critchfield, secretary; Donald McKay, business manager; and Miss Margaret Stone, Miss Nina Pilkenton, Miss Cornelia Hardeastle, Miss Ruth Van Doren, L. B. Roberts and Matt Graham.
The club will be governed by the rules and regulations of the faculty committee on organizations other than athletic. The members will meet soon to plan for the first play, which will be given about the middle part of next year. An opportunity will also be given those who write original songs and plays, to submit conv to the club for criticism.
Any bona fide student in the University will be eligible to membership. There is no restriction even though the candidate be a member of some other dramatic organization. The Red Domino intends to make its club University wide, and it is only necessary for a student to do creditable work in one of the productions or to have written songs or plays which merit his election to become a member. The membership of the club will be limited to about twenty-five.
ANOTHER QUAKE.
Felt by University Seismograph Yesterday.
The Seismograph at the University recorded earthquake shocks yesterday morning, beginning at 6:10 and lasting for about forty minutes.
The shocks were so feeble that Prof. H. P. Cady could not tell the exact location. The quake was also recorded by the seismograph at Georgetown University, D.C.From there it is reported that the shock was between 4,000 and 5,000 miles distant.

The Daily Nebraskan printed this appeal to the Cornhuskers to attend a big mass meeting. If there is anything in any sort of an appeal, the mass-meeting must have been the best of the year;
"There is a time for all things. Don't be a buzzard and sit off in a corner picking your teeth over a meal on dead grouches. Come out and throw your little 'Whoopee' in with the rest, to make things hum for Nebraska, Mummies belong way back in the days of the Pharaos. We prefer 'em live. Leave the old shell dry up with the slime and ooze and come out to Nebraska's big mass meeting at convocation this morning. Remember—the mummy died five thousand years ago."
As a general thing, the first part of the "Jayhawker" which readers turn to is the section at the back of the book which is devoted to "roasts" and the first estimate of the Annual is based upon the quality of the jokes. The earlier sections of the work devoted to the graduates and the schools have to wait for later consideration. The 1910 "Jayhawker" will "wear well," because the serious portions of the book have been prepared with great thoroughness and care. The work on this year's Annual is a credit to the editorial staff.
A good record in play-writing has been made at the University this year. The senior play though written by amateur playwrights, kept two full houses interested, on its merits as a play and without the aid of "local hits" which senior plays usually
depend on to make good. The fares at the junior and sophomore proms also had more meriti than is looked for in college productions.
"Scientists at the State University," observes the Kansas City Star with lifted eyebrows, "be lieve they have discovered a process for making billiard balls and such things from compressed but termilk."
The comet considerably withheld its appearance until the University dramatic stars were off the stage.
PRAISE LEGISLATORS
Oklahoma Says Victory Over Kansas Due to These.
At the University of Oklahoma the Oratorical Council which has charge of all debating in that University adopted the following resolutions at a recent meeting:
Whereas the debating team representing the University of Oklahoma, having won a unanimous decision over the team representing Kansas University in the annual intercollegiate debate, and,
Whereas, there has been created in this University a deep interest in public discussion of present day questions, and
Whereas, no small part of the credit for the victory over Kansas University, and much of the interest aroused in debating, is due to the support of Oklahoma Senators and representatives in congress, in conditionally offering a joint prize of one hundred and twenty five dollars.

ON MUSIC REPORTING.
Dean Skilton Makes a Talk to Journalism Class.
"Just because serious reporting of musical events requires some special training, some newspapers have abandoned serious reporting of such events and follow the policy of letting the baseball editor or some other equally competent member of the staff write the accounts of the recitals and concerts," said Dean Charles S. Skilton of the School of Fine Arts in a talk on "Music Reporting" before the sophomore class in journalism yesterday morning. "I recall that when Schumann-Heinck one of the greatest singers in the world, gave a concert in Topeka the article was written by the "funny man"of one of the Topeka papers, to the annoyance and displeasure of the musical people o the city, who wished to read a serious account and criticism of the opert.
"Of course the reporter should try to make a musical article a all other journalistic articles. By working in some incidental happen ing at the cocert, a skillful reporter may write a better story than a trained musician.
"Whatever calls attention to public interest or lack of interest in music should be introduced into the story. The American people have to be urged continually to attend musical events. At a concert by a noted artist, the artist may also be commented on in a reportorial way to enhance the interest of the story.
"It is in the reporting of local talent concerts that the newspaper worker must use the greatest tact. The usual rule is to give all the praise that can be given and to remain silent for the rest. I have in mind one occasion when an editor engaged a musical critic from another town to report concerts from an outsider's point of view. A considerable tempest was erected in the community, bringing the writer into reproach until the value of his criticism began little by little to be appreciated.
"Every reporter should be to certain extent an educator in matters of music and art. Some people who go to a concert withhold their opinions until they read what is said in the papers the next morning."
Dean Skilton spoke from several year's experience as a music reporter on the State Gazette at Trenton, N. J. He first began writing musical criticisms at the solicitation of the editor, a friend of his, as a special feature of the paper. The rival paper, not to be outdone, imported a critic from New York to report musical event. The result of the rivalry of the two papers, Professor Skilton said, was to create a lively interest in music in the city and to make possible concerts by noted musicians and orchestras which previously had failed for lack of an audience.

WELL EDUCATED CLASS.
Farmers Have This Distinction Says Farm Editor.
Mr. I. D. Graham, editor of the Kansas Farmer, published at Topeka, spoke to the sophomore class in journalism on "Farm Journalism" last Wednesday morning.
"Farm journalism is just now in process of being developed," said Mr. Graham. "Farmers with their families form the largest single class in the country. They are members of one of the richest classes. They have time for reading, hence they are one of the best informed classes. This time devoted to reading, together with contemplative habits of thought, have given the farmer a liberal education. I believe the farmers are better posted on all great questions than any other class.
"The farm paper is the farmer's technical laboratory.. It is the greatest trade journal in the world and the most influential because of the confidence which the farmer puts in the agricultural journal which he takes.
"The county paper published in a farming community, though it can not hope to contain as valuable material on farming subjects as the professional journal, should devote some space to carefully written articles on farm subjects. Such a department is always an element of strength to a country paper."

RELY ON ENDOWMENTS.
It appears from a recent report of the treasurer of Amherst College that during the past year the college has spent $3.15 for every dollar received from its students From the report of the Williston seminary treasurer it appears that the school has spent $2.85 for every dollar received. The same thing is undoubtedly true of Harvard and Yale, and all other representative colleges, and also of Andover and Exeter, and many other preparatory schools. Were it not for the income received from their large endowments, all these schools would be compelled to increase tuition charges threefold, or to close their doors, says the Springfield Republican.

American Scenic Attraction.
Omaha, Neb. May 21.—Displaying itself with all its scenic glories multiplied a hundred-fold, the Columbia river, which winds down through, in and out and around the Rocky, Solkirk and Bitter Root Mountain chains and empties into the Pacific, is today on a howling, yet harmless rampage.
The seemingly ferocious waters of the Columbia are described by travelers, just erurignniveq rw travelers, just returning to this city from the northwest, as today the finest scenic feature of the entire "gallery of America's prize scenery," as the wonderlands of that part of the northwest are known. Yet the rampage of the Columbia only enhances the beauties of the scenic attractions, for the river's ravings are harmless, the rock banks all along its course giving protection to residents. Thus the Columbia river's course is made the greatest of western attractions for travelers this summer, as the rampages of the Columbia invariably continue for great lengths of time.
With the receipt of the news from the northwest, the issuance of the book "The Columbia River," by E. L. Lomax, G. P. A., Union Pacific R. R., is especially timely, as it gives the entire history of the notable river to the present year, along with photographs. Copies of the book will be sent free upon application to E. L. Lomax, G. P.

A STUDENTS' CHAPEL.
Student Representatives .Spoke Emblems Awarded.
The regular Friday chapel exercises were yesterday occupied by statements from representatives of the two student councils. As the new president of the Mens' Student Council, Ralph Spotts, presented a brief outline of the plans which the council just elected and organized has for next year.
The possibility of a change in the management of the annual publication of the senior class was mentioned as one of the prominent problems. Mr. Spotts referred to plans used in other schools and suggested that it might be desirable to have the financial responsibility for the Jay hawker rest upon the entire class and that any profits should go to the student loan fund.
Some plan to lessen the mortality in the freshman class would be considered, said Mr. Septits. Efforts have been made in the past but Mr. Spotts believes there is need for further work by the council.
Other senior class activities, including the management of the senior play, the cap and gown, and the invitation committees were mentioned.
In addition to a student day at the chapel exercises Mr. Spotts suggested that a gala day each spring in which all organizations had a share might be inaugurated, and be made a valuable feature.
On behalf of the Women's Student Government association,Miss Pearl Stuekey, the retiring president, gave some of the detail of the girls' scholarship which the
association is offering. She thanked all who had helped in making a success of "Alice in Wonderland," by which fund's were secured for the scholarship The girls were further represented on the program of the morning by Miss Helen James, who sang a sole and responded to an encore.
On behalf of the Debating council Prof. W. E. Higgins spoke briefly on the increased interest in debating and then requested Professor Carruth to award the emblems to the University representatives in debate this year. The seven men who received the gold watch fobs in recognition of their work were Foster Cline, W. T Griffin, H. C. Marks, George E. Probst, William Erdman, R. M. Perkins and E. L. Overman.

THEY ARE IN DOUBT
Astronomers Have Failed to Learn Whether Earth Has Passed Through the Comet's Tail.
Several professors at the University as well as the majority of the astronomers in this country are worried. They are not quite sure that they know any thing at all about the great "Heavenly Flyer Limited." The earth was supposed to have passed through the tail of Halley's comet but nothing unusual happened and nobody seems to know if we really did go through or not. If we did, the comet is supposed to be in the west, but it has been too cloudy here to see it if it has appeared.
All the astronomical authorites are putting their faith in the western sky tonight. If the great ball of fire appears all is well but if it doesn't their reputation is at least shaken.
Prof. H. P. Cady and Paul Farragher made observations last night but it was so cloudy that the comet could not be seen. The different experiments to collect meteoric dust failed, and Professor McFarland who has charge of the experiments says that it is unlikely that results can be obtained for several days, it taking that long to evaporate the liquid air. No other University has reported finding radioactive particles and it is unlikely that any will be found here.
Prof. Ephraim Miller said this morning, "I have no doubt in my own mind, that we have passed through the tail of Halley's Comet, but it can not be known exactly until tonight, when the comet should be seen in the western sky immediately after sundown."
FRESHMEN VS. CAMPBELL.
First Year Men Won Game by Score of 12 to 2.
The freshmen baseball team defeated Campbell College yesterday afternoon by a score of 12 to 2. The freshmen had it over the Campbellites from the start to the finish. Every one of the twelve hits gathered by the first year men gleaned a run.
Starting off with a whirl the K. U. infants scored six runs in the first two acts and kept up a steady pace until the Campbellites threw up the sponge before the end of the ninth.
The batteries: Freshmen, Miller and Hill. Campbell—McNeal and Coats.

WOMEN OFFER SCHOLARSHIP
GIFT OF $100 TO SOPHOMORE
GIRL
Part of the Proceeds of the Gala Day Will Be Used—Applications Called For.
The Woman's Student Government association announces the offer of a gift scholarship of $100 to be given to a girl of the present freshman class in the University.
All applications, accompanied by transcript of grades from the Registrar's office, must be made before 5 o'clock on Thursday, May 26, at the office of the Dean of the College. The object of this scholarship is to aid, during the sophomore year, a girl whose work is of good standing.
The committee in charge of the scholarship consists of Professors Oliver, Greissinger and Galloo, and Misses Stuckey, Stough and Connelly.
. The following rules govern the scholarship:
This scholarship shall be awarded at the end of the freshman year, to a girl whom it will materially assist during her sophomore year and whose standing is high in her studies. The management of the scholarship fund shall be in the hands of a permanent scholarship committee. This scholarship committee shall be elected by the women's council and shall consist of six members, three women of the faculty, at least one of whom shall have served the preceding year and who shall be president of this committee; and three members of the women's executive council, including the president ex-officio. This fund is to be deposited with the treasurer of the University, who shall on an order signed by the chairman of the committee and the president of the council, pay the money to the applicant.
"The money shall ordinarily be paid in four equal parts, one at the beginning of each half-semester; but for good reason the committee may direct that the amount for either term be paid in one installment."
Miss Mary C. Lee, '99, of the Manhattan Bible library, and Miss Ada Allen of Chanute visited the University and attended a meeting of the executive board of the State Librarians Association Friday.
Prof. E.M. Hopkins went to Atchison last Thursday, where he spoke at the dedication of the new high school building.

A
GETS A NEW FELLOWSHIP
PROF. DUNCAN MAKES PROVISIONAL PLANS.
The fellowship will be given for the purpose of an investigation of the chemistry of vegetable ivory. Vegetable ivory is the material of a seed, grown in South America which is used enormously in the manufacture of buttons. The fellowship is placed by one of the largest button manufacturers in America. It yields $1,500 a year for two years, together with an additional cash prize of $2,000 to the holder in the event of his success and in addition to this a good position with the company. It is a curious fact that at present no chemist in America knows anything about the chemistry of vegetable ivory.
Prof. R. K. Dunean of the department of industrial chemistry, was offered a new fellowship for the University when he was in the East recently. In case satisfactory arrangements can be made whereby Professor Dunean will have oversight of the department of industrial chemistry in the University next year in addition to his position at the University of Pittsburg, the fellowship will be brought to the University. University authorities are trying now to arrange matters and it is possible that Professor Dunean will have charge of the department next year.
In Case Prof. Duncan Directs Work Next Year, a $3,000 Fellowship Will Be Added.
Professor Dnnean will announce the name of the fellow within x month if the fellowship is brought to the University.
Freshman Baseball Captain Fel
From Car.
Carl Hieks, captain of the freshmen baseball team and a freshman in the College, was severely injured last evening by falling from a street car on Massachusetts street. Hieks was working as an extra conductor on one of the open summer cars and while collecting fares his hand slipped from the handle on the side of the car, and he fell to the pavement. A gash was cut in his head and he was severely bruised.
SEVERELY INJURED
THE LAST WEEK.
Only Two More Issues of Kansan This Spring.
The Kansas will be published but two more times this spring. As is the usual custom, the last issue will be printed on Saturday evening before quiz week, in order that those who work on the paper may be relieved of the responsibility of getting out the paper and writing quizzes at the same time.
The paper will be issued again next fall at the usual time. At that time the present staff will continue to do duty.
H. Clay Waters, a former editor of The Kansan, visited University friends in Lawrence Sunday.
A VARIED PROGRAM.
Announced for Regatta on Kaw Next Saturday.
The annual University regatta will take place on the Kaw next Saturday. Already the "aquatie" athletes have donned their swimming trunks and are training every day for these events. The rowing committee of the Athletie association will have general oversight of the day, and everything from a fifty-yard swim to a three mile launch race will be found or the program.
One-fourth mile rowing race, singles; one-half mile rowing canoe race, doubles; one-fourth race, doubles; one-fourth mile rowing race, mixed doubles, one-fourth mile canoe race, mixed doubles; 50-yard swim, one-fourth mile swim, 3 mile launch race, fancy diving and tilting tournament.
Last year the cup which was presented by the K. U. Canoe club to the pair who won the most points, was won by the Long brothers. This year a cup will be given to the winner of the greatest number of points. The cup will be given either by the Athletic association or one of the Lawrence jewelers.
As a special feature of the regatta, an inter-fraternity "fourman to the canoe" race has been arranged.
The program for Saturday follows;
NUMBER 96
"JOY RIDE" FOR ALUMNI.
To Take Trip on Train of Ten Street Cars.
If the present plans are carried out the former students, with the Thirteenth Infantry band, will take a "Seeing Lawrence" trip on a train of ten street cars.
The alumni of the University of Kansas will have a "joy" ride when they visit Lawrence during Commencement.
The ride is scheduled for eight o'clock on Wednesday evening of Commencement week. The band will lead in the first car of the train, and all of the alumni will be invited to take the ride to renew their acquaintance with the town.
Prof. L. E. Sayre and Prof. L. D. Havenhain, both of the department of Pharmacy, left yesterday for Salina, where they will attend the meeting of the State Pharmaceutical society. Professor Sayre is librarian of the association. They will be gone two days.
The present program includes a concert on the campus west of Snow hall, at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening. The public will be invited. Another concert will be given at noon of the same day.
E. C. Beezley of Winfield, Kan is visiting his brother George, who is a junior law.
The band will also give an openair concert the evening before the "joy" ride so the people of Lawrence may attend. Prof. Herman Trutner, director of the Thirteenth Infantry band was in Lawrence yesterday making arrangements for the concerts.
Attend Meeting at Salina.
WILL CONTEST IN TWO MEETS
KANSAS MAY TAKE FIRST PLACE AT DES MOINES.
Dopesters Confident That K. U Will Make a Good Showing— At Urbana June 3.
The Missouri Valley conference meet to be held next Saturday afternoon in Des Mines, Ia., will be a big affair. The schools of the conference have extended invitations to a number of other institutions in the valley.
The schools of the Missouri valley conference are Iowa, Missouri Kansas, Nebraska, and Washington Universities. The colleges to whom invitations have been sent are Drake, Iowa State, Grinnell, Simpson, Coe and Des Moines, and the Rolla School of Mines.
Kansas has never won a conference meet, but the prospects for this year are bright. The closest rivals of Kansas seem to be Nebraska and Missouri, while the smaller colleges may give all a good race for the championship. The dope fifures that the school which takes more than twenty-five points will in all probability win the meet.
The dope figures that the school ure that Kansas has a fighting chance to win thirty-five points if the athletes show the spirit in the meet that they have shown in the previous meets.
Kansas figures on a first in the 100-yard dash and the 220, the high jump, the broad jump, that is, four firsts, or twenty points. With good luck Kansas may win first in the low hurdles the high hurdles and the relay, or thirty-five points and the meet.
In the low hurdles Kansas has a good chance to win a first with Hamilton and in the relay to take second easily if not first. In the distances Kansas should take a second or third with Watson, Fisher and Cummins in the mile and two mile.
In this meet some of the Kansas athletes may win a "K" for this year. The requirement for a "K" in the conference is a third place in any event. In this meet Watson, Fisher, Davis and Thompson with good luck and consistent training may take a third and get the coveted initial.
The Des Moines conference is not the last meet this year for the Kansas athletes. Kansas will send a good representation to the Chicago conference meet to be held in Urbana, Ill., June 3. Manager Lansdon said this morning that while he would probably send five or six athletes there the ones to go had not definitely been picked. The men who will probably go are Captain Haddock, Winters, Wilson, French,, and Hamilton if he shows his usual speed at the time to go. Kansas will not send any of her distance men, as it is not believed that they could take a place.
Murdock Pemberton, who was a freshman in the College last year, has a three-stanza poem entitled "Spring," in the May issue of the Kansas Magazine recently issued.

WILL HELP COLLEGE MEN
CLUB ORGANIZED IN CHICA GO FOR THAT PURPOSE.
Kansas College Club Has Written Chancellor Strong Stating Its Object—Will Interest Seniors.
A letter which will interest all of the seniors and post-graduates of the University was received by Chancellor Strong this morning. The communication comes from Chicago and was written by a graduate of Kansas. Its purport is to convey to the University students, and especially those who will leave school this spring, the fact that a Kansas college club has been formed by the alumni of Kansas colleges, who are now engaged in business of every kind in Chicago.
The purpose of the club is to aid young college men from this state who go to Chicago to enter in technical or professional lines of work. The letter reads as follows:
Chancellor Frank Strong,
Dear Sir:
The recent graduates and students of Kansas colleges now in Chicago have formed an organization known as the Kansas College club. The purpose of this club is the development of mutual acquaintances and good will among the former Kansas men.
It is the aim of the club to be of service to the many Kansas college men entering the city as strangers, to take up work as students or in the technical or professional lines.
Will you kindly bring notice of this before your senior class and see that it is given publicity in your college paper in order that any of your graduating class expecting to take up work in Chicago may take advantage of this opportunity of getting in touch with the other Kansas men in the city.
Those coming to the city should report their names to L. S. Weatherby, Snell hall, University of Chicago.
Very truly yours,
GUY L. GEBHARDT,

Are the senior activities at the University of Kansas run upon the best possible plan? Why it is that the big junior affair, the Prom, is run by men who in every way are acting as representatives of their class and who make a strict accounting of every cent expended, while the senior enterprises, the play and the annual, are run on a basis of personal profit? These are questions which the members of next year's senior class will do well to ponder on during the summer vacation. There is a growing sentiment at the University that there is a better way of managing senior business.
The deluge of athletic victories which came the way of the University of Kansas last Saturday was just what was needed to wind up the year in athletics with a good taste in everybody's mouth. There have been some disappointments in athletics this year, but on the whole the season has been satis factory.
Lawrence is an illuminated city this week. In addition to the "great white way," on Massachusetts street in connection with the street fair, two thousand students' lights are going from twilight till midnight or after. A down-town paper refers to the studying for quizzes that is going on on the hill this week as "the darkness that precedes the dawn." "The calm before the storm" is rather more like it.
If the two student councils are given proper assistance in carry.
ing out plans which they are formulating. the lot of the freshman will be a less lonesome one next year than it has been in years past. In this undertaking the councils deserve the assistance of everyone who was ever a freshman.

DECIDE FLOUR QUESTION.
Professor Emerson Carrying on Experiments.
Prof. H. W. Emerson has just begun a series of experiments investigating the difference in digestibility between bleached and unbleached flour, and also to ascertain if bleached flour is at all toxic, or poisonous.
Professor Price Secretary.
A case involving the bleaching of flour has come up in the courts at Kansas City, and has been left to Professor Emerson to decide. The millers in Kansas are very anxious to have the experiments show no difference and the northern millers are just as anxious to have it show disastrous effects, owing to the fact that the northern wheat makes a whiter flour than southern wheat. As yet the experiments have failed to show any difference in digestibility.
Prof R. R. Price was elected secretary and treasurer of the State Municipal League which was organized at Wichita, Thursday, by city officials who attended the conference which was arranged by Prof. F. G. Bates as temporary secretary for the organization.
"The Daily Student" of Indiana University will in the future be managed and edited by the department of journalism.

FOR THE FIRST BRIDE.
K. S. A. C. Girl Graduates Preparing Linen Chest.
Manhattan, May 24.—Graduating classes from college have long had the custom of offering fellowships and other prizes, but it remained for the girls in the senior class in domestic art of the Kansas Agricultural College to offer a real inducement toward home-building.
Each girl in the class is working on a linen piece, which will go to make up a box of linen for the first girl in the class who is married. This box will be left in charge of Miss Becker, professor of the domestic art department, until the first wedding is announced.
Considerable interest was manifested among the men of the senior class when the news came out, and one of them is said to have wagered a cook stove that he could tell who would be the lucky girl.
Miss Hazel K. Smith, of the class of '04, who is touring Europe this spring, writes her parents that she had the pleasure of an audience with Pope Pius X, a short time ago. Miss Smith is a a member of the Congregational church and it is a pare thing for the Pope to receive any young lady other than a communicant of the Roman Catholic church.
Received by the Pope.
Margaret Lupton entertains about twenty young ladies of the University at luncheonSaturday at her home on Louisiana street, in honor of Lydia Marshall, whose graduating recital will take place next Thursday evening.

The state of Kansas will supply more than its share of librarians who will visit Europe in August, at the time of the International Library conference at Brussels, according to reports received yesterday by the president of the Kansas Library association, Mrs S. J. Greenman, of Kansas City, Kan. Among the Kansans who have engaged passage on European steamers are: Miss Carrie M. Watson, librarian at the University of Kansas, and Miss Dora Reun, an assistant librarian in the University: Miss Clara Francis of the State Historical Society at Topeka, and Miss Olive M. Wood, librarian at Baker University.
Praise for the Quill.
The students of the University of Kansas have an organization called the Quill club which each year issues a booklet containing original contributions. This year's publication, The Quill, is especially good and contains a list of articles that show much literary skill and careful work. The contributions are well prepared and many of them have a literary worth that reflects great credit on the editors. Such efforts are of exceptional worth and the club has reason to be proud of its success.—Abilene Reflector.
Harvard Abandons Crimson
Harvard University is no longer represented by the famous color of crimson. The corporation decided that there were too many variations used on the Harvard flags and banners and have officially adopted a new color, "artorial blood." It is of much richer red than the former color, appearing to be of a purple shade.

A VICTORY WELL EARNED
KANSAS TRACK MEN WORK ED HARD AGAINST M. U.
Both Team and Coach Were Pes simistic Before Meet, While Tigers were Confident.
Probably no one of the five victories for Kansas last Saturday gave so much joy to the student body as a whole as the victory in track over Missouri. Coach Hamilton's track athletes journeyed to Columbia last Friday with not a considerable amount of optimism. More than that, the coach himself left Lawrence with just a small amount of pessimism.
The victory of $ 5 5 \mathrm {I} _ {2} $ to $ 5 3 \mathrm {I} _ {2} $ for the Jayhawkers came through hard work. Every man on the team is said to have done his best and the results show that he did. The Tigers, in press reports sent out before the meet, asserted their confidence of victory, but admitted a hard fight. The post mortem proves that the fight was a hard one—and a losing one, too.
The summary is as follows:
120. yard hurdle—Simpson, Missouri, first, Herzog, Missouri, see on. Time, 16 3:5 seconds.
100-yard dash—Haddock, Kamas,
mas, first; Roberts, Kamas, sec.
ond. Time, 10 seconds.
Mile run—Steele,Missouri, first Watson, Kansas, second. Time 4:39.
220 yard run—Haddock, Kansas, first; Roberts, Kansas, second. Time, 221-5 seconds.
440 yard run—Bernond, Mis souri, first; Robinson, Missouri second. Time, 50 3-5 seconds.
220 yard hurdle — Hamilton Kansas, first; Davis, Kansas, second. Time, 26 seconds.
880. yard run—Tipton, Missouri, first; Talbot, Missouri, second.; Time, 2:04.
1-mile relay—Haddock, Hamilton, Rice, Smith of Kansas. Time, 3.28 2.5.
2 mile run—Snyder, Missouri first; Fisher, Kansas, second. Time 10:12 1-5.
Pole vaunt—Stevens, Missouri,
first; 10 feet, 6 inches. Thompson,
Kansas, second; 10 feet 2 inches.
Diseus throw—A. W. Roberts,
Missouri, first; 118 feet, $11_{2}$
inches, Ammons, Kansas, second;
115 feet, 7 inches.
High jump—French, Kansas, first, 5 feet 6 inches; Herzog, Misouri, and Smith, Kansas, tied for second, 5 feet 4 inches.
Shot put—E. H. Anderson, Missouri, first, 37 feet 9 3-4 inches; Amons, Kansas, second, 36 feet 9 inches.
Broad jump—Wilson, Kansas first, 21 feet 9 inches; Cooper, Mis souri, 20 feet 7 inches.
Hazing is Abolished.
At a recent meting of the college body of Wesleyan University at Middletown, Conn., it was voted to abolish all hazing. The decision is a sweeping one, and it is the intention of doing away with such features connected with the initiation of members into the sophomore secret societies. It is planned to have a committee, headed by the president and composed of one junior from each of the fraternities whose duty it shall be to see that all college customs are adhered to and to impose punishment on those who violate such customs or indulge in hazing.

FORMED CITY LEAGUE.
University Took Prominent Part in New Organization.
Professors F. G. Bates, R. R Price, and W. C. Hoad returned the first of the week from Wichita, where they were instrumental in helping organize the "League of Cities of Kansas." Prof. R. R Price was elected secretary of the league after the office had been declined by Professor Bates.
Last winter, Mayors Green, of Topeka, Davidson of Wichita, Martin of Hutchinson, and Professor Bates conceived the idea of forming a league among the cities of Kansas for the betterment of municipal conditions and exchange of ideas in regard to city government. Accordingly about the middle of March invitations were sent out to mayors and city officers of first and second class cities. At this meeting a league was organized under the name stated above with purposes as follows:
1. To perpetuate and develop the league as an agency for the cooperation of Kansas in the practical study of city affairs.
2. To promote the application of the best methods in all branches of municipal service by holding at least one convention annually for the discussion of problems in city administration and by circulating information and experience there on.
A program was given by various prominent men who are interested in municipal affairs, with the purpose of giving an idea of the sort of programs to be given before the league in the future.
To secure legislation which would be beneficial to the cities of the state and the citizens thereof and to oppose legislation injurious thereto.
The first annual meeting will be held in Wichita, October 1, 1910.
Organizations Make Statements
Last week the Chancellor sent a letter to the different organizations asking that a statement of their receipts and expenditures be sent to the office by May 23.

AT TUESDAY'S CHAPEL.
Prof. Dykstra Made a Talk on Comets Before Student Body.
Prof. C. A. Dykstra, associate professor of history, spoke in chapel this morning on the characteristics of comets without relation simply to astronomical details In his talk he drew an analogy between comets and sky-rockets. The former have regular orbits, stated times to recur, and are controlled by laws outside of themselves, he said, while a sky-rocket is only an imitation and lacks the characteristic of a comet.
Professor Dykstra styled explorer Cook as a mere skyrocket, who after a brief display of fireworks, fell to the ground as a stick. He considered Peary to have the nature of a comef, whose movements could be predicted with some certainty. "It is fairly easy to be a skyrocket, but it is bad business to be tied to a stake," said Professor Dykstra. "The person who is to amount to something will be willing to remain within an orbit, to come into helpful relations with other people, and will recognize the value of some control outside of himself."

VOLUME VI.
ADD COLORADO TO SCHEDULE
KANSAS WILL PLAY DRAKE UNIVERSITY NEXT FALL.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 26, 1910
Colorado Replaces "Aggies" and Drake Takes Place of Iowa State College—The Schedule.
Two new football games will soon be placed on the Kansas schedule for next fall. At the meeting of the Athletic association yesterday, Manager Lawsdon was empowered to close a contract with the management at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and another with Drake University at Des Moines, Ia. The first game is to replace the one which was scheduled with the "Aggies" for October 8, and the second will be played instead of the one scheduled with Iowa State College for October 22.
Manhattan refused to conform to the requirements of the Missouri Valley conference rules and as a result the team was dropped from the K. U. schedule. The schedule which had been arranged by Drake conflicted with the schedule of the University, consequently the second game could not be played.
Colorado has not been included in the K. U. schedule since 1906, when the team was dropped for various reasons. One trouble was the difference in the altitude of Lawrence and Boulder and another that the two schools were too far apart to allow many students to witness the game.
The game with Colorado will be played under the Missouri Valley Conference eligibility rules. The contract calls for two annual contests. The first is to be played on McCook and the second at Boulder.
Following is the revised sched ule for 1910, as given out today;
October 8, St. Marys, on Me-Cook field.
October 15, Colorado, on Me-Cook field.
October 22, Drake, at Des Moines, Ia.
October 29, Washburn on Me-Cook field.
November 5, Nebraska, on Me-Cook field.
November 12, Oklahoma at Oklahoma City.
November 24, Missouri at Kan-
November 24, Missouri at Kan sas City.
POLITICAL WRITING
Told of From the Newspaper Man's Standpoint.
Mr. Lesly Wallace, a political writer for the Kansas City Star, spoke to the journalism classes yesterday on the subject, politics in a great newspaper. Mr. Wallace spoke of the qualifications needed for a political reporter.
"Wide acquaintance with political leaders in the city, county and state is necessary," he said, "for the gum shoe method of holding political meetings is still used to a considerable extent."
He warned reporters, however, against becoming so friendly with politicians that their judgment might become biased.
FIRST CAR OVER THE HILL.
['ennesseee-Mississippi Loop Has Been Completed.
The firt car to complete the circuit on the Tennessee-Mississippi line carried a party of citizens and newspaper people over the hill this afternoon. The party consisted of Albert Emmanual, of Dayton, O., president of the street car company, A. M. Schaffer, of Dayton, O., G. T. Skinner, manager of the Lawrence company, William Spires, superintendent of construction, a committee of business men, representatives of the city newspapers, and a reporter for The Kansan.

The service to the hill will be either a twenty or a ten-minute one. If possible four cars will run each way, making it possible to catch a car going either way every ten minutes.
New sidings have been built so cars can pass at South Tennessee street, at the top of the hill, at McCook fied, at the Indiana line, and on Massachusetts street.
TO PROFESSOR MILLER.
Last Chapel to Be Held Tomor row Morning.
Tomorrow morning will be the last opportunity for the students of the University of Kansas to show to Prof. Ephraim Miller in any public way their respect and appreciation for his long service in the school, Professor Miller will make the address at the regular Friday morning chapel exercises which will be the last general convocation of the students during this school year.
Professor Miller has been teaching in the University longer than any member of the faculty and is well known to the students even though they may not have had work with him. After his many years of service he retires from teaching and will receive a Carnegie pension. His address in chapel will thus be in the nature of a farewell to the students of Kansas.
The University was visited this morning by the members of the senior class of the Lincoln high school. The sixteen members of the class are being chaperoned by their superintendent, R. E. Long and his wife. Since leaving home they have visited the Agricultural school at Manhattan, the Capitol building, the asylum and Washburn at Topeka; Electric park at Kansas City, the fort, the federal prison and Soldiers' home at Leavenworth. From here the class will go to Emporia, where they will visit the State Normal school.

COMING EVENTS.
May 28, Missouri Valley Meet May 28—K. U.Oklahoma. Tennis.
May 28, Regatta on the Kaw May 31-June 5, Final Examinations.
The regatta which will be held Saturday is one of the new University events which should be encouraged. With a fine stretch of river near at hand there is every opportunity to make water sports an important part of University athletics. Special interest attaches to the regatta, which will be held Commencement week. The one held last year was one of the finest and most spectacular entertainments given to the visiting alumni.
The remarkable string of University records broken or equaled in track athletics this year in itself constitutes a great record for Coach W. O. Hamilton. The past year is the first in which track athletics ever received adequate attention, and the good showing made as a result of it is a matter of gratification to the entire University. Track athletics has been of an unusually high grade in the Missouri Valley this year and Kansas has made a showing to be proud of.
The final report of the finance committee on the receipts of the Gala Day shows that nearly $450 was cleared for the Women's Student Government scholarship fund. This is the most notable addition made to the University loan fund for many years.
Everybody is hoping that the rosy-hued predictions will come true that Kansas will actually get away with the Missouri Valley track meet in Des Moines Saturday.

Professor Wm. A. Griffith has just returned from the meeting of the American Federation of Arts at Washington.

Baseball Captain to Be Elected Commencement Week.
The election of captain of the '11 base ball team will probably be held when the team is making its trip to Arkansas during Commencement week.

Haller, Palmer, and Walker are the three old men on the team and all have been considered. Hanlon, and Smith have also been mentioned, but as yet there seems to be no concentration on any one man.

WILL HEAD NEW DEPARTMENT
PROF. EDNA R. DAY OF M. U ACCEPTS POSITION.
Will Teach Household Economics Department Will Open Next Fall.

Professor Day received her B. S. and M. S. degrees from the University of Michigan in 1896 and 1897. In 1906 she was given a Ph. D. degree from the University of Chicago. From 1898 until 1899 she taught at Kent Place school for girls, Summit, N. J.

THE WEATHER.
Frank Strickland of Junction City is visiting friends here.
The Last Issue.
Fair tonight and cooler Sunday.
The courses which will be offered will be taken from the following: The home, its plan, decoration and care; household bacteriology, household hygiene, chemistry of the household, principles of cookery, food and dietetics, household management, personal hygiene, home care of the sick, textiles and clothing, study of child life, care of children.
KANSAS WON TENNIS.
The work of the new department is designed to serve the interests of women, particularly in their relations to home and family life, with especial attention to dietary, food, and nutrition. The development of University work in foods has often been misunderstood by those who have failed to appreciate the difference between high school and University work. In the former, emphasis is rightly placed upon the making of dishes, the actual cooking of as many kinds of food as possible in order to acquire facility in the doing; while in the University certain fundamental principles concerning the selection and cooking of various classes of foods are studied by the preparation of dishes which illustrate these principles. Opportunity will be given for the application of these principles by original problems in the preparation first of the menu, then of the meal, followed by a criticism of the whole process.
The Kansan is issued today for the last time this spring. With the opening of school next fall the publishing of the paper will be continued and a number of plans for its improvement will be worked out.
The object will be to teach women to select food wisely, cook it properly, and serve it well, and at the same time to learn some of the fundamental principles concerning nutrition.

NEW RULE ADOPTED.
Freshman Rhetoric Credits Will Be Given Provisionally.
At a meeting of the faculty of the College, held Thursday afternoon, it was voted to adopt the plan recently proposed whereby credits given for freshman rhetoric will be given, subject to withdrawal if at any time later in the student's course his command of English is found to be defective.
"The new plan is expected to work three benefits," said Dean Olin Templin this morning. "It is expected to make for more thorough work in freshman classes. It is hoped that it will help to raise requirements in English work for the last three years of the College course. Also, it will cut hopeless cases out of graduation.
"Other universities are watching the experiment at Kansas, and will adopt it if it is a success."

LAST CHAPEL YESTERDAY
EXERCISES HELD IN HONOR OF PROF. E. MILLER.
Retiring Head of Department of Mathematics Gave Address to Students.
Prof. Ephriam Miller, professor of mathematics and astromony, gave his farewell address in chapel yesterday morning, since with this year he closes thirty-six years of active and continuous service in the University. In introducing him Chancellor Strong spoke of the high respect in which he is held by the faculty, for the quality of work done in class-room and committee, and for his kindly spirit and standing for the highest type of University life.
Professor Miller spoke of the changes and advance a which come with the passing of years to both individuals and society at large. He cited Gladstone as a man who in his old age could look with satisfaction on his past life. For himself Professor Miller said that in the fifty-five years since he received his A. B. degree he did not know of anything which he would change materially, even if he could. In speaking of the educational changes which had occurred, within a century he used and several ways in which the romance of science had made fiction tame.
Professor Miller next contrasted the University in 1866 with its four professors and fifty-five students with its present status with 290 officers of instruction and administration and 2303 students. He spoke of the culture of intellect and refinement of manners which the state expected from the graduates of the University and the benefit they were to be to the school and to Kansas. In closing he spoke of the value of education in the large and true sense.
Prof. W, H. Carruth bore testimony to the great ability of Professor Miller as a teacher and referred to the pleasure of thirty-seven years acquaintance with him. In behalf of his colleagues in the faculty he then presented to Professor Miller a pocket-book with a check for a considerable sum, though it was but an inadequate expression of their feeling for him.
Chancellor Strong announced that at the commencement meeting the Board of Regents would make Professor Miller emeritus professor of mathematics and astronomy.

The closing year has been one in which the usefulness of the University to the state has grown in many ways. The institution's sphere of activity has been broadened by the division of University Extension, which will do as much as can be done in diffusing the University atmosphere over the state, and by the creation of the new School of Education. The new school will enable the University to meet more fully its obligations as the head of the state educational system, the special pride of citizens of Kansas. Not only has the University branched out into the new fields, but it has done more and better work this year than ever before in all departments. Week after next the largest class in the history of the school will be graduated to take up the work of active citizenship in the state. The University is coming into its own as the great shaping factor of life and thought in Kansas.
Professor Ephraim Miller's farewell to the University yesterday was a "farewell" only insofar as the professor will be relieved in future from class room work and attendance at the University. As long as he lives, Professor Miller will be a part of the University of Kansas. The hearty reception he received when he arose in chapel yesterday to make his last talk before the students was significant in showing how highly his work is appreciated by the institution which he served so long and so faithfully.
With today's issue, the members of The Kansan staff close their work on the paper for the year. In the enlarged form,The Kansan has enjoyed even a larger patronage than had been hoped for. It is planned to make other improvements in the paper next year in keeping with the growth and demands of the University though at present the plans are still somewhat indefinite.

To Record Attendance.
At a regular faculty meeting Thursday afternoon, a rule was passed requiring all instructors to keep a record of the attendance of students in classes. No penalty was placed upon non-attendance, it being left to the individual instructors.
Naney Fisher, a sophomore in the College, has left school, and started on a several months' trip through Germany and Southern Europe.
Wellesley, Mass., May 26.—In accordance with a new faculty edicts no photographs of Wellesley College students who take part in college plays in male costume may be made. So far as is possible the faculty will attempt to have all existing protographs of girls playing masculine characters cut off at the waist.
The action was taken because of the recent publication of the pictures of two Wellesley girls in full male regalia, trousers and all. The photographs were made after the senior play May 10, and when they came to the attention of the faculty and the administrative board the members waxed extremely indignant.
PHOTOS CUT TO WAIST.
Wellesley Girls in Male Attire Can
have no Full Lengths Taken.
As a result whenever plays occur in the future no photographer will be admitted except an official photographer to be chosen by the faculty, and any picture he may make of the east or of the individuals will be eut off at the waist.—New York Sum.
Postponed Recital
The graduating recital of Miss Lillian Kirchoff, which was to have been held in Fraser tonight, has been postponed because of a slight illness of Miss Kirchoff. The recital will probably be held some time next week.

ART AND NEWS WRITING.
Professor Wilcox Spoke to Journ alism Class.
Prof. A. M. Wileox, professor of Greek language and literature, spoke informally to the members of the senior newspaper class this morning on the value of some knowledge of art for newspaper people. He said that there is a lack of interest in the average reader in architecture, sculpture and painting, but that a newspaper, especially in large cities might do much to change this attitude.
Professor Wileox believes that a journalistic student could acquire information from several courses in the University which would assist him in writing intelligent stories about paintings statues and buildings. Yet the best training would be secured from some actual work in the School of Fine Arts.

HAVE BROKEN MANY RECORDS
TRACK SEASON HAS BEEN UNUSUALLY SUCCESSFUL.
Eleven McCook Records Broken One World's Record Tied and One M. V. Record Broken.
Although Kansas has two more track meets in which to distinguish herself, this season has already proven the most successful for a number of years. More McCook records have been broken during the season than ever before in the history of K. U. track athletics. All of the meets held here have been high class affairs, and Kansas has added a large number of victories to her credit
Without doubt a large share of the praise for the season's record is due Coach W. O. Hamilton. During the past winter he has entered more than one successful team against track men of reputation. He has been supported in his work by a number of the best track men in the Missouri Valley.
The score book of the season's events show that thus far elever McCook records have been broken, one world's record tied and one Missouri Valley record broken. Haddock has added the largest number of record events of any of the athletes. He has, during the past season, broken three McCook records, tied a world's record and was a member of the record-breaking relay team as well. C. Woodbury has also made a record different from any that has yet been made at the University. He is the only freshman ever to make a "K" in his freshman year. A freshman is given but one opportunity to get the coveted letter. That is at the time of the annual inter-scholastic meet. Woodbury won his letter in the pole vault by going 11 feet 3 inches.
Following is a list of the records which have been broken this season;
Haddock, 50-yard dash, broke McCook and tied the world's record in 51-5 seconds; broke McCook 100-yard record in 94-5 seconds; broke 220-yard record or McCook by running the distance in 211-5 seconds. In the high hurdles Winters broke the McCook record in 162-5 seconds, and Hamilton took the low hurdle record in 26 seconds. In the discus Ammons has a record of 115 feet 8 inches. Wilson took the McCook record in the broad jump at 22 feet and C. Woodbury did 11 feet 3 inches in the pole vault. French has an outdoor record of 5 feet and 11 inches, and an indoor record of 6 feet $ \frac{1}{2} $ inches in the high jump The relay team composed of Haddock, Rice, Smith, and Hamilton broke the K. U. record in the mile relay by running the distance in 3 minutes 28 2-5 seconds. This time also broke the Missouri Valley record in the mile relay.
To Receive Doctor's Degree
Chancellor Strong this morning received word from Princeton University that U. G. Mitchell, who received his Bachelor's degree in 1906, and his Master's degree in 1907 from the University of Kansas, has passed his final examinations and has been recommended to receive the Ph. D. degree at the coming commencement.
Leslie Zoellner, junior in the College, has pledged Alpha Tau.
