A GREAT DAY FOR ST.PATRICK'S SONS
THE ENGINEERS' PARADE
WAS THE FEATURE.
Mechanicals Win Ball Game and Tug of War—250 Couples at the Dance.
One of those times which make school history and which will always be a pleasant recollection to every one who participated, oeured yesterday when from noon till late at night the engineers celebrated their first Engineers' Day.
Attending chapel in a body they were addressed by Prof. Thomas Clark. The engineers' glee club sang. Returning to their own building there were more speeches by Mr. W. L. Herrington of Kansas City, Mo., and Henry Hoffman. At 12:15 the big event of the day, the parade, started on its way over the campus, through the student residence district, through Massachusetts street, terminating at McCook field. The University band headed the procession, while the professors of the engineering School followed in automobiles. Then came the electricals, with a cleverly designed float, a power plant on wheels, which furnished the current for operating electrical machinery that followed. A walking telephone transmitter, tephone poies and a huge receiver comprised the remainder of the electricals' contribution. The civils displayed three floats, the first drawn by a steam roller representing a grading camp, the second portraying a section of railway under construction, and the third a huge railway bridge, complete in every detail
Following these, a great dirigible balloon gaily decorated, was the offering of the mechanicals. The municipal engineers, some on a water wagon and others dressed in the garb of "white wings," followed.
immediately afterward came the miners, with an ore crusher, and drills. They worked away industriously, frequently discharging a blast that added to the realism of the scene. The chemicals brought up the rear of the procession with a float portraying a portion of a laboratory. The odor which emanated from this wagon filled the air with an obnoxious stench.
Among the clever designs were a great sea serpent, about fifty yards in length, a man-propelled automobile, a rickety wagon drawn by an emaciated mule, labelled "Delegate from the Law School," and a casket containing a geology quiz "killed March 7."
At McCook Field.
Upon arrival at McCook field dinner was eaten by the hungry crowd. Coffee was served free. Prof. P. E. Walker, head of the mechanical department, furnished ice cream and cake to the mechanical ices.
Prof. Erasmus Haworth opened the athletic events with a short speech congratulating the engineers on starting the custom of an annual holiday. He also opened the ball game by throwing the first ball which went over the plate. The mechanicals and miners then played three innings, which resulted in the score of 1 to 0 in favor of the机械icals. The batteries were: Roberts and Sommers for the miners, Ashercroft and Dahlere for the机械icals.
The boxing matches between Campbell and Fairchild and Conates and Smith were well contested from the start. Both bouts
were declared draws by Referee Parker.
The baseball game between the civils and electries was won by the civils by the score of 2 to 0. The game was three innings in length.
The tug of war across Potter lake did not take place. As a substitute two tugs of war on terra firma were held. In these the mechanicals won from the electricals and the miners from the chemicals. The referees were Professor Walker and Gardner.
Schwab, a chemical, won the standing broad jump. Filley, an electrical, was second. Professor Johnson and Briggs measured off the distance as nine feet and ten inches.
The half mile race was won by Fisher, a mechanical. The timekeepers, Professors Hood and Veatch, snapped their watches on 2.253. Hartman, an electrical, was a close second.
The championship ball game resulted in a victory for the mechanicals. In the four innings played they made one talley, while the civils were whitewashed.
The most exciting event was the relay race, the last attraction on McCook. Sixteen men ran on each of the four class teams. The four-lap relay race was run off in light-nine-like time. The sophomores won with the seniors close behind. The freshmen finished third and the juniors came last.
In the evening 250 couples attended the dance. The music was furnished by Shanty's five-piece orchestra, and lasted till midnight. The electricals hung special decorations of the different school pins, painted on a large glass, on the railings of the balcony. In the first of the three feature dances all of the lights were turned off except the colored lights on the pins. The pictures of Dean Marvin and George Russell, chairman of the day, were thrown on a screen. In the second feature dance the pins and red z's were shown while in the third dance spotlights were used.
BARN PARTY TONIGHT.
The Y. M.-Y. W. Party Will Be Picturesque Affair.
If the activities, which have been going on in the gymnasium all day are not misleading, the students of the University who attend the Y. M.-Y. W. party tonight will be treated with an entertainment found, usually, only on a farm. The gym is being decorated to resemble a barn loft, as nearly as possible. A big load of hay was carried in this afternoon and another of corn stalks was deposited in different corners of the floor.
Chancellor Strong has made arrangements to speak at a number of high school commencement exercises next month. He will speak at the following places:
Greensburg, May 17; Kinsley, May 18; Syracuse, May 19; Tonganoxie, May 22. He will make the address at the dedication exercises of the new library building at Midland College at Aitchison on May 30.
The excitement of the evening will be participated in by everyone present, as the main part of the entertainment will consist of games, Virginia reels and last and foremost in a good many minds, a prodigious quantity of eatables.
Chancellor Will Speak.
ALUMNI PLAN FOR GIRLS' DORMITORY
FACULTY AND LAWRENCE
WOMEN START MOVEMENT.
Only a Small Dormitory Will Be Planned at First—Chancellor Is Favorable.
The refusal of the state legislature to provide a girls' dormitory for the University, as requested by the board of Regents, will not cause the University to do without dormitories, if the plan which has been set on foot by a number of state agencies is successful.
of University women is successful. Two weeks ago there was a gathering of the faculty and Lawrence women, who are members of the American Collegiate Alumni association. At this meeting a committee was appointed to plan some means by which a private dormitory for girls can be financed. The members of the committee are Miss Evadne Laptad, Mrs. W. H. Carruth, Mrs. L. E. Sisson, Miss Eugenie Galloo, Miss Fay Dodge, Miss Alberta Corbin, Miss Agnes Thompson and Mrs. T. H. Chalkley, Miss Laptad, the chairman of the committee, said this morning: "The object of the dormitory is to provide the girls with a comfortable home and to give them every opportunity of pursuing their school work."
The dormitory is not a money-making scheme, and is only expected to support itself. At first the committee does not expect to accommodate more than thirty girls, but if the experiment proves successful with this number the proposition will be carried on on a larger scale. These private dormitories have proved successful in many of the Eastern schools where they are very common. At Michigan they have gained great efficiency. They were started there in the same way in which the dormitory is planned by the women here.
The dormitory will be controlled and disciplined by the University. When interviewed formally upon the proposition, Chancellor Strong said: "The house will be considered a University dormitory, providing it is under the University control."
Dean Templin, Professor Carruth and Registrar Foster have expressed themselves as heartily in favor of the idea.
"Jesus Christ, the Son of Man and the Son of God," the first of two lectures for the women of the University, will be given by Prof. W. C. Payne at Myers hall, Sunday, April 2. at 3 p.m. Mrs. Blanche Lyons will sing "Jesus Only."
CANCELLED ALUMNI DATE.
Extra Session of Congress Will Keep Senator Borah Away.
Senator Wm. E. Borah of Idaho who had promised to deliver the alumni address at commencement has notified the association that he will be unable to come, as he will hold into July will detain him extra session of congress which days, to be able to announce the name of the speaker who will take The association hopes, in a few his place.
Lecture for Women.
NEED OF CONCENTRATION
Prof. Clark of Illinois Believes in Hard Things.
"If I could go through college again I wouldn't work so much as I did, but at studying time I would give my individual attention to the task. There is a big difference between study and mere fooling around," said Dean Thomas A. Clark, of the University of Illinois, in chapel yesterday morning. "Besides working with a definite purpose I would do more hard things because I believe we get the best training from things that are difficult."
Professor Clark strongly favored courses in public speaking because every one in active life greatly needs the ability to speak intelligently. He also emphasized the value of the chance to hear prominent men and women during the college career.
"I would learn to play some athletic game and I believe every student should get into some branch of college activity; but above all I would urge that every person in his college work learns to do at least some one thing especially well."
"Learn to know your instructors as far as possible. I failed to do this thoroughly, but I did profit by knowing one man well," said Professor Clark. "A man should be more than a student only and should get a knowledge of human beings."
STATE-WIDE ALUMNI.
Kansas City Organization Plans for One.
Kansas City, March 31.—The members of the alumni of the University of Kansas that live in Kansas City, Kan, decided at a meeting in the district courtroom yesterday to give a reception at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of April 8 to all Kansans who attend the alumni banquet in this city that night. Motor cars will be provided for a drive over the city. A letter will be sent to all the K. U. alumni of Kansas inviting them to come. The officers and committee are: E. L. Fischer, '92, president; H. L. Miller, '02, secretary; L. D. L. Tosh, '73; William Stevens, '79; F. D. Hutchings, '83; E. C. Little, '83; M. E. Pearson, '85; T. A. Pollock, '89; M. L. Alden, '95; E. K. Robinett, '97; L. O. Carter, '99; Wm B. Sutton, jr., '99; C. R. Cooksey, '00; C. D. Dail, '04; Ray Adams, '04; Thomas M. Van Cleave, '08; C. W. Loveace, '04—Committee.
H. L. Miller and M. E. Pearson were appointed as a reception committee to arrange for the meeting. The purpose is not to organize a state alumni at the reception, but to discuss plans there, and if it meets with approval, to organize later. There is a national association with headquarters in Lawrence, but no state organization. There are organizations in both Kansas Citys.
Sherwin Accepts.
Word has been received from R. A. Sherwin, of Hanover, New Hampshire, that he will accept the position of football and baseball coach at the University next year. He will report on September 1.
Elmer H. Ditmar was called to his home in Clay Center very suddenly this week because of sickness in the family.
JUNIOR PROM
WILL START AT 6
MANAGERS DECIDE TO TRY AN INNOVATION.
Vill Close at 3 O'Clock—Chanceller Strong Grants a Half Holiday.
If you are going to the Junior Prom this year you will have to start in the afternoon. Announcement was made today by Don McKay and Roseoe Redmond, managers of the Prom, that it had been decided to start the Prom promptly at 6 o'clock and that the dance would be concluded in time to clear the gymnasium by 3 o'clock. This decision will mean that the Farce will start shortly after 6 o'clock and that the dance will start at 8:30 o'clock.
For some time there has been considerable discussion concerning the time of closing the Prom and after consultation with the Chancellor it was decided to adopt a custom that is generally in use in Eastern colleges. In order to allow ample time in which to prepare for the event, the Chancellor has announced that there will be a half holiday on the afternoon of the Prom.
WILL GIVE 8 RECITALS.
The managers say that the Prom this year is to be as great a social event as it always has been in the past. Within the past few months there has been considerable talk about the attempt that has always been made in former years to outdo the former Prom and there has been considerable oposition to the plan. This year's Prom is to be unique and brilliant, but not extravagant. Kelly's nine-piece orchestra has been engaged to play for both the farce and the dance. The farce is entirely musical and reports from practice say that it is extremely elever.

ENGINEERS' DAY.
Engineers' day marked an epoch in the history of student life at the University of Kansas. Several years ago the laws instituted their annual "Uncle Jimmy Day," but it has never taken a form so elaborate in nature as that shown by the engineers yesterday. Beginning with the demonstration in chapel, including that wonderful parade with all of the trimmings, the athletic meet in the afternoon, and the dance at night, everything that was attempted was a complete success. Every item of the day's program was significant of things that belong to engineering life. And with it all there was marked good feeling toward all.
Engineers' Day yesterday was significant because it marked the starting of a custom that is bound to endure as long as the University stands. The institution of an annual stunt day for every school in the University has long been needed and now that the engineers have set a precedent we may expect to see the other schools fall in line.
Our University has always lacked traditions. Other schools have days which are counted by the student body as the best of their school days. Kansas has never had these days, and the Engineers' Day, established yesterday.is bound to become known as the initial attempt to establish traditions and customs that are to become an intrinsic part of all University life.
Considering that the Y. M.-Y. W.C.A. party tonight is to be in the nature of an old-fashioned
barn party, it is to be expected that the Thalians will give a few samples of their dancing ability.
A COMPARISON.
Under the caption "How Nebraska Treats its University," The Topeka Daily Capital comments on the difference in appropriations between the University of Nebraska and our University. The editorial says:
Nebraska's legislature has got along to the final consideration of appropriation bills and is worried at their amount. The appropriations threaten to be a large increase over 1909. According to the Lincoln State Journal the Nebraska appropriations in 1905 were something over $3\frac{1}{2}$ millions per annum, for 1907 nearly $4\frac{1}{2}$ millions and for 1909 $5\frac{1}{2}$ millions. This year they will go higher. The appropriations by the Kansas legislature just adjourned were higher than ever heretofore, and yet were 2 million dollars less for the two years than the appropriations in 1909 in Nebraska, a state not as wealthy as Kansas and not as populous. Nebraska has placed its University on a settled financial footing by setting aside a fixed levy of 1 mill, thus avoiding the necessity of going into the details of the University budget in hurried ways and means committee meetings at every session of the legislature, and the necessary "lobbying" by the Chancellor. A mill levy for the University of Kansas would look like a godsend to Chancellor Strong, who is compelled to come to the legislature in behalf of the needs of his institution, and yet is accused by small politicians of "lobbying' and invited to go back to Lawrence and attend to his official duties. The way to keep the University from "lobbying" is to give it a settled income and remove the necessity of explaining matters at every session to ways and means committees who know nothing of the University or its needs.
The speech in chapel yesterday by Dean Clark of the University of Illinois, was well received. Dean Clark speaks as one who has been a student himself and he shows sympathy with all of the trials and tribulations of College days.
The series of lectures by Dean Shailer Mathews and Dr. Frank Sanders that have just been concluded, were attended by large and interested crowds each day. Visits from such brilliant thinkers are sure to elevate the thoughts of the student body.The keen interest that was manifested by all is evidence that the lectures were a great success.
Rodney Elward, who made his first trip to Lawrence yesterday, also diagnosed the ailment of the Lawrence squirrels as melancholia.—Dodd Gaston in Topeka Capital
Et Tu, Brute.
One hundred and seventy-five students have enrolled in the classes in journalism at the University of Wisconsin this year, an increase of more than 50 per cent above the number last year. The students represent thirteen states and two foreign countries, one student being an East Indian, from Calcutta, and another an Armenian, from Harpott. More than 160 students are taking courses in advertising. The Students' Advertising Club, said to be the first of its kind in any American university, has a membership of 101, and has just affiliated with the Associated Advertisers' Clubs of America. New courses in the technique of printing and publishing, and in trade and technical journalism, are announced for next year.

There certainly is a great deal of carelessness existing somewhere in the caring for the campus. Stock daily roams over it, destroys trees, and in bad weather tramping the sod into the ground. Somebody is shirking duty.

University students are especially invited.
Presbyterian Church.
In connection with the general discussion of the "point" system at Columbia, the Spectator, the undergraduate daily newspaper, has come forward with the suggestion that it is perhaps unfair in that it rests solely upon the number of prescribed hours of classroom work, and not upon the relative importance of the subject or the actual amount of time the student gives to it. In other words, it places all courses upon the same basis, so far as credit is concerned.
Dr. S. J. Hunter, of the department of entomology will give an address before the meetings of the American Association of Nurserymen at St. Louis, on July 14. Doctor Hunter will talk on the subject of "Some Entomological Problems Which Concern the Nurseryman."
JUDAISM'SRISE TO POWER.
Dr. Sanders Tells of Movement Toward Christianity.
"The establishment of Judaism," was Prof. Frank K. Sanders' subject for his fourth and last talk on "Six Creative Centuries of Ancient Israel." "In the sixth century before Christ there were," according to the speaker, "two distinct views as to the establishing and preserving of the Jewish religion. The prophet, Ezekiel, favored the exclusion of all foreigners from their religion. Jeremiah represented the second view which was of a missionary nature. The former method led to Judaism while the latter led to Christianity. In this period all of the prophets seemed to think that when God carried out his purpose in the future he would restore the empire. This gradually gave way to the thought of an ideal Israel with good Israelites who could preach anywhere and who did not even need the temple of Jerusalem, which had been destroyed by the Babylonians. However, the prophet, Hagaii urged the rebuilding and Cyrus, king of Persia, and now master of the country, gave permission to the Jews to rebuild it. But the Israeliitish nobles and cultured people, who had been transferred to Babylonia by that power, were not anxious to return and rebuild the city. At this time ambitious Jews could do better away from Israel; but a few returned and rebuilt the city, thus showing great patriotism and heroism.
"The Persian yoke was lighter than that of Babylonia. The reason was that Cyrus was one of the most clever persons in dealing with subjugated people, for he treated them square, and once having conquered a tribe it seldom revolted. Israel, during the Babylonian captivity, had paid double for her sins. Now she began to realize some of her own meanness and that Jehovah must have something ahead for her as she was still intact and alive. As a result the Jews began to figure how God would carry out his plans, but were unsuccessful, as God has his own ways. Gradually they realized the meaning of the sentence. 'Israel is yet destined to be Jehovah's herald unto the ends of the world.' Immediately they began to live more rightously and to impress their neighbors with the nobleness of their religion."
For their annual triangular debate, to be held on April 3, Yale, Harvard, and Princeton have chosen this subject: "Resolved. That elective State officials should be nominated by the direct primary."

DR. SNOW'S THEORY NOT REPUDIATED
RECENT REPORT IN LINE WITH HIS WORK.
Later Investigations Were Only Elaborated, not Repudiated, by Recent Research at University.
Since the University has announced its final conclusions adverse to the practice of sending out diseased chinch bugs, many of Dr. Snow's friends seem to feel that they are called upon to come to his defense. Evidently Dr. Snow's last two reports have not been generally read; otherwise this misunderstanding would not have arisen. The conclusions reached by the University as the results of the investigation conducted last season, instead of "repudiating" Dr. Snow's final conclusions only confirm them. About the only difference between the two is, that Dr. Snow's conclusions were only tentative, sufficient evidence being lacking to enable him to make them final, while the last conclusions are definite, being backed by an abundance of evidence.
It should be understood that when Dr. Snow was conducting the work of sending out diseased bugs, he was burdened with other duties as Chancellor, and had not the leisure to collect all his data first hand, but necessarily depended upon the reports of others, and especially was this true in regard to what was taking place in the fields over the state. The reports, largely from farmers, upon which he based his first reports were of such a character as to indicate, that the artificial distribution of diseased bugs was accomplishing much good; but later reports, largely from field agents sent out by him, led him to alter his views, or conclusions, in his last two reports. A few quotations from his fifth and sixth reports will be sufficient to make this clear.
In the fifth Report, page 9, he says, "We have never 'before witnessed such a wide-spread epidemic of Sporotrichum and Empusa as occurred this season... The diseases must have been naturally epidemic when they appeared extensively later, because we could see no difference between the fields inoculated artificially and those not inoculated, and bugs received from various portions of the state very frequently developed the disease under proper conditions without inoculation."
On page 11 of the same report he says: "Experiments with this method and the old method gave contradictory results in the laboratory, but in the field we were unable to see any difference between the treated and the untreated fields, either when fungus-covered bugs or artificial cultures were used for infection, except one experiment at the very outset of the year's work; that is to say, during the spring months, when the weather conditions were unfavorable for the growth of Sporotrichum, the artificial dissemination of the spores produced no results, while later in the season, when the season was more favorable, we found Sporotrichum in untreated fields as well as in treated fields."
"Since the experience of the past five years has taught us there are always to be expected a varying percentage of failures in the use of Sportotrichum, we strongly urge that the farmers
do not put their sole dependence upon this method, but that they also adopt the barrier method described later in this report."
On page 42 of the same report we read the following: "That Sporotrichum survives all winter conditions which chinch bugs withstand, and that artificial infection is consequently in most cases unnecessary is indicated by the following:
*1. Its survival of the winter of 1894-95.
2. Probability that no conditions exist which would allow bugs to hibernate safely, and at the same time destroy wholly the spores of Sportrichum, which it would seem have on account of their small size and great abundance, as good a chance of finding effectual shelter as the bugs themselves.
3. General epidemics of Sportotrichum have been noted in other years before artificial spread of this disease was employed.
"4. The wide-spread occurrence in 1895 of a species of Empusa on chinch bugs, a species which, so far as known, has not been disturbed since the years 1892 and 1893, and then not extensively."
The following is a quotation from the introduction to Dr. Snow's last report: "Because of the accomplishing of these two things—the thorough dissemination of the disease germs over the state and the dissemination of knowledge concerning them among the farmers of the state—it seems now to be less incumbent upon the state to put itself to the expense of maintaining, at least for the present, a central distributing station. Instead, let each field where Sporotrichum flourishes be a distributing point for its own immediate locality. This will be a saving of time to the farmer and money to the state."
It will be seen from the foregoing quotations, that Dr. Snow did not recommend the distribution of diseased bugs when the disease was present in the fields naturally over the state as it was in 1895 and 1896. The investigation of the University during the last season has shown that the spores of the disease are present in large quantities all over the state, and hence, the conclusion that artificial distribution of the fungus is unnecessary, is in exact accord with Dr. Snow's ideas

Raided a Dormitory.
Several of the young gentlemen at the Washington State College got on a rampage the other night and as a result the entire college is closed to students, pending results of investigations. The exuberance of the gentlemen took the form of climbing into the girls' dormitories by means of rope ladders and then dragging the co-eds through the halls on the bedclothes. This hilarity on the part of the male contingent was not well received by the student body, and before the affair is settled Washington State is liable to be minus some of her most popular men.

LAST LECTURE BY SHAILER MATHEWS
CHRIST FORCED TO COMBAT POLITICAL BIGOTRY.
Men Today Are More Willing to Sacrifice Themselves for Welfare of Community.
Dean Shailer Mathews gave the last of his series of six teetures on "The Teachings of Jesus" Thursday afternoon. In discussing his subject, "The Teaching of Jesus as to the Individual Relation With the Community," Dr. Mathews said: "The idea of democracy with anything like universal suffrage was unthought of by the Roman emperors. Even the slightest agitations were immediately suppressed. For this reason many of Jesus' enemies tried to trick him into giving answers that could be considered of a political nature. However, Jesus was doubly careful and replied with some of the cleverest answers ever given. Finally his enemies gave up this method in despair and by rested on the grounds of disturbing the peace. When brought before Pilate he refused to say anything. Pilate for sententious Jesus has gone down through history as the type of cruelty prevailing over purity.
In the present age gentlemen do not think that they can be religious. Jesus was a gentleman and also well dressed, for at the time of his crucifixion four of the guards cast lots for one of his garments. Nowadays we would be religious if it was not so mute bother or akin to fanaticism. Jesus was no fanatic and had very little of a spectacular life till the last few days. Many make a show of their religion, but they are like the false prophets who are the men that get praised, and not like the true prophets who are the men that generally get killed. If people do not believe in a future world, then why are so many glad to die if there is not something better ahead!"
In closing his address Dean Mathews emphasized the heroic element in the life which Jesus plainly set before his followers. Jesus recognized the cost of the progress which he desires for every individual and the sacrifice required helps to make men today more willing to assume their full duty to the community.

HASKELL AND VARSITY TO DECIDE TWO TIES.
Coach Lansdon Picked Sixteen Men for the Squad Freshmen Have Sixty Tryouts.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the Jayhawkers and the Haskell braves will meet in the first real baseball game of the season on MeCook field. The teams have already met in two practice games this year, both resulting in ties, the scores being 9 to 9 and 6 to 6. Manager Lanson d yesterday chose a varsity squad of sixteen men from a field of thirty-five candidates who have been trying out for the past three weeks. Following is the personnel of the squad: Catchers, Hill and Smith; first base, Porter; second base, Capt. Hailer; third base, Ward; shortstop, Hieks; left field, Larson; right field, Wilhelm; center field, Walker; pitchers, Locke, Farrell, Buziek, McCarty, Allphin, Cole, and Goff. Two catchers will be retained while the pitching staff will be trimmed down to three men as soon as the regular season opens. Manager Lanson will keep Hoffman and Cayot for substitute infielders, while Krehbiel and Mahan will act as substitutes in the gardens.
In speaking of the team, Manager Laudson said today, "If the pitchers work all right, we will have one of the best teams in the history of the University, but so far this year the pitcher们 have shown only mediocre form, nevertheless. I think they will come out all right. The hitting and fielding of the players so far this spring has been exceptionally good."
The regular price of admission will be charged this afternoon.
The freshman squad will be picked by Coach Harlan Monday afternoon. Over sixty first-year men are out for the team and competition is close. The freshmen and the varsity will meet in practice games every afternoon beginning Monday, April 4. As no schedule will be arranged for the first year men their games will be limited to the varsity and class contests.

An Unparalleled Record
49,491,000 TRAVEL; NOT A LIFE LOST
Harriman Lines Passenger Report for 1910 Shows Victory of Safety Devices.
ACCIDENTS OUT TO TRIBE
Union Pacific Cruises Drop to One-Eighth Ticket Scaling To Reduced.
The report, containing this data, just has been compiled in the offices of Julius Kruitschmidt, director of maintenance and operation on the system, including the Southern Pacific and Union-Pacific railroads, a total of 17,000 miles.
The Kawaiman railway lines carried 10 per cent of the estimated 1210 passenger traffic of the United States, or 49,411,000 people, without fatal accident so many of the number could be accounted for. The number of safety devices and is believed to have no parallel in the railroad world.
The cover number or passengers carried on a one mile basis was 0,000,000. The number of the company numbers for 40 have not yet been compiled by the government; but in 1909 the interstate commercia commission reported the number of passengers carried as 20,000,000,000. The figures for 1010 will not exceed a billion more, it is said.
The results on the Harriman lines are ascribed to a campaign waged by the management for years to reduce accidents. The Harriman system now has more miles of automatic block signal protection than any other system in the world. Mr. Kluckschmitt himself has directed special attention to the accident problem and began several years ago to bring about a reduction by giving complete publicity to all forms of accidents and their investigation, which, it is believed, spurred both officers and employees to greater efforts to safeguard lives intrusted to their hearts.
No Like Record. Known.
Many other railroads have gone through a year without a fathity to any of its passengers, but it is said that no system has made this record for such a large total of passengers.
Chicago Tribune, February 12th.
Pacific
This achievement is described as unparalleled in railwaying, and it is attributed to the installation of safety devices—chiefly, if not wholly.
Not a Single Fatal Accident.
Not a single fatal accident.
The HAMMINGSINes carried 10 per cent of the country's estimated passenger traffic for 1910. Not a single fatal accident occurred to a passenger anywhere on the system.
If a small line gets through a year without a fatal accident the result may itself be considered accidental. A vast system carrying millions of passengers owes safety to improvements, care and efficiency.

PAN-HELLENIC DEBATE.
Will Discuss Questions of Board of Control.
At a meeting of the Pan-Hellenic council Sunday, plans were drawn up for a debate between the eight national fraternities at the University. It was decided to discuss the question which caused such a stir at the last legislature, namely whether a board of three men to control the affairs of the University would be more efficient than the present Board of Regents. The question formally stated is: "Resolved that the board provided for by the senate bill No. 289 is preferable to the present system of control of state institutions."
It was agreed that the question of compensation would not be argued. A motion was also carried to the effect that the judges of the debate should not be University professors. The different fraternities drew for sides and the Phi Delts, Sigma Chis, Phi Psis and Phi Gams received the affirmative. The Alpha Taus, Sigma Nus, Sig Alphs and Betas will support the negative.

A $7,500 ADDITION FOR MYERS HALL
WORK ON NEW STRUCTURE
WILL BEGIN SOON.
Enlarged Building Will Include an Auditorium That Will Seat 500—More Offices.
Plans have just been completed by the architects and delivered to Dr. Payne, for a new $7,500 addition to the south end of Myers hall. The addition will be ten feet wider than the present building and forty-two feet in length. Work on the construction will begin within a few days, and be completed by September first. Friends of the students in Lawrence atd in the state at large have subscribed one-half the funds necessary for the work,and it is the purpose of Professor Payne to raise the balance of the fund by special subscription within thirty days. The plan has the hearty support of the Chancellor and friends of the students in the University.
The lines of the present building will be continued in the construction of the addition. When completed the enlarged building will contain in addition to the present rooms, an additional office and reading room on the first floor, similar to the present auditorium. The first floor will also contain a room exclusively for missionary maps, literature, and curios. The second floor of the addition will be given over to an auditorium with a seating capacity of five hundred.
"The development of both the Bible chair work, and that of the Y. M. C. A. during the past year," said Dr. Payne this morning, "has made the facilities of Myers hall inadequate to meet the many demands made upon it. Another office is absolutely necessary, and more class rooms are needed. The weekly Y. M. C. A. meetings, which are held in the hall have been more than filling the room provided, and it will require a larger room for the growth of that work next fall. With these added facilities the work of the association among the new men will be much more effective. Our work this year has met with heartier support by the men of the University than at any time during my ten years of Bible work at the University. This is due largely to the hearty co-operation of the Bible chairs in connection with the work of the Y.W.-Y. M. C. A."

NEXT CAPTAIN UNCERTAIN
Stuckey and Dousman Are Probable Candidates.
The basket-ball election will be held tomorrow night at the post-season dinner at the Eldridge house that the athletic management is giving for the squad. Three members of the five this year are seniors and only three men remain eligible for the office of captain. These men are George Stuckey, Donald Dousman, and Frank Long. Stuckey and Long are both Juniors and Dousman is a sophomore with two more years to play on the team. Although the candidates for the position have not yet been announced, it is conceded that the election will lie between the two men who played regularly on the team this year, Dousman and Stuckey. The playing of both of these men has been of the very best during the entire season. Stuckey took Johnson's place at forward when Johnson quit, and displayed great ability at goal tossing. Dousman played a consistent game at guard throughout the entire season and many times added materially to the score with accurate goal shooting.
KANSAS WON MEET.
In Spite of Handicaps Jayhawkers Take Most Points.
In the Invitation handicap meet, held by the Omaha Athletic club Saturday night, Kansas won the highest number of points of all the other colleges entered in the meet. Kansas won two firsts, one second, and one third. Charles Woodbury scored eight individual points in the events that were open to all the teams entered in the meet and the Athletic management of the University has entered a request that he be given the point trophy, rather than the man of the Chicago Athletic club, to whom it was awarded, with ten points, since three places were made in events that were not open to all the contestants of the meet and should not be counted toward such a trophy. Of all the colleges that were entered, the Kansas men were handicapped most heavily. The Kansas athletes also had a greater number of handicaps than any other contesting team.
FRESHMEN ARE OBSTINATI
President to Wear Gap as White as Snow.
The rain yesterday brought out the grass on the campus and the flowers on the fruit trees—but not the caps on the freshmen In definance of the ruling of the Student Council, and the fact that barrel staves grow thick in the spring, the majority of the 1914 clas came out with civilized head gears. Just because the under classemen became so absent minded, a group of upper men have organized and intend to stage a cone-act comedy on the campus, entitled "The Slaughter of the Innocents."
The president of the freshman has asked and received permissinn from the Student Council to appear on the campus in a solid white cap.

Prof. Bushong and Instructor Humphrey the Beneficiaries— New Fellowships Expected.
The first multiple fellowship in the department of chemistry to come to the University of Kansas, was announced this morning from Chancellor Strong's office. The money to be granted by the fellowships will amount to a yearly salary of $2,750 and an additional bonus of $5,000. The beneficiaries of the fellowship are Professor F. W. Bushong, who holds the senior fellowship, and I. W. Humphrey, an instructor in the department of chemistry, has the junior membership.
The total income of the fellowships will be $2,750 a year and the contract has been made for two years' work. The appointments have been made by the Chancellor and they remain to be confirmed by the Regents at their meeting next Thursday at Topeka. Professor F. W. Bushong, who is a member of the faculty of the department of organic chemistry, has been appointed to the position of senior member of the fellowship with an income of $2,000 a year, and I. W. Humphrey, an instructor in the department of chemistry has been given the junior membirship with an income of $750 a year. The contract also provides for an additional maximum bonus of $5,000 to be awarded the men in case they make discoveries that prove especially valuable to the company.
This industrial fellowship has to do with the utilization of petroleum products in the manufacture of soap. It will in all probability be followed with a second multiple fellowship within the next week, dealing with the subject of wood varnishing. Also several more fellowships are expected for the University within the next year.
Mr. Humphrey started his part of the work in one of the rooms reserved for the Industrial fellows in the basement of the Chemistry building, on the first of April, and Professor Bushong will begin his work during the week after the spring commencement.
The fellowship was originated at the instance of the superintendent of the Fels Soap company, who made a visit to the University and looked over the laboratory equipment that is available here. His discussion of the subject with Professor Bushong satisfied him that conditions here were suitable, and upon his return to the East arrangements were made for the establishment of the fellowship in the interests of the soap company. The arrangements were completed last week and the appointments were made at that time.

THE JUNIOR PROM.
Each year the members of the junior class entertain the graduating class of the University. Each year has seen an increase in the lavishness of production, until the Junior Prom is now reckoned as the one big, gala event of the school year. The plan that the managers of this year's Prom are advocating of starting the event at 6 o'clock and concluding the dance by 3 o'clock is altogether new at this University. Other institutions have tried the plan and all say that it is a great success.Whether or not the students at the University of Kansas will like it, cannot be ascertained until it has been tried.
The Kansan believes that the student body as a whole does not favor the plan at the present time. The reason for this may be assigned to a certain dislike to go to a dance in the afternoon, especially a formal dance. But The Kansan also believes that when the innovation has been given a trial it will become a permanent feature of the annual event. The granting of a half-holiday by the Chancellor will give ample opportunity to prepare for the evening's entertainment and as soon as certain of the "old guard" among the student body get the idea out of their heads that the Prom must be an all-night affair, the new plan will become a fixed feature. The managers of the Prom have acted for the best and their sane attitude toward this social event should be given the en-
The managers of the Prom have acted for the best and their sane attitude toward this social event should be given the encouragement it deserves.
The Music Festival which opens next Thursday ought to receive the support of every University student. The soloists for the three concerts are recognized as among the best that are before the American public today. Those who have heard the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra came away charmed by its renditions. This orchestra is among the best in the United States and an opportunity to hear it should not be allowed to pass by.
The alumni of the University have always been an uncertain quantity. Each year as questions affecting this institution are brought before the public we find a difference in the attitude toward their Alma Mater of the alumni. The plan of the Kansas City, Kan., alumni to organize a state-wide association should be encouraged in every possible way. The University graduates over three hundred students each year and it is fair to assume that a considerable number of these remain in the state. If these graduates can be brought into close association they will have an influence that will do much toward relieving any further obstacles that may arise to block University progress.
INVITE FOUR TO WARBLE.
Kansas City Alumni Will Hear Songs From "The Idle Idol."
The Kansas City Alumni Association of the University of Kansas will hold its annual banquet next Saturday evening, April 8. The banquet is to be given in the University club rooms.
Joe Marshall, Henry Campion, Donald McKay, John Musselman, and Quay Barnett have been asked to be present on the program, for several musical numbers. They expect to sing solos and quartets from the "Idle Idol," the musical comedy presented last February by the Red Domino club. Besides these numbers, they will also sing some of the more common University songs.
Mosher—Mills.
Guy E. Mosher, '09, was married to Miss Essie Mills Wednesday evening, March 29, 1911, at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs.G.W. Thurston, in Parsons, Kansas. Miss Mills was a special student in the School of Fine Arts in the year 1908-9. Mr. and Mrs. Mosher will live in Coffeyville, where Mr. Mosher is employed by the Coffeyville Vitrified Brick Company.
Kress stores have sold TEN MILLION POUNDS of candy in the past year, which amount is continually growing. This means 416 freight cars or 20 solid trainloads of 20 cars each. If each case and pail was placed on top of another it would make a tower one hundred miles high.
Some particular items of candy have grown into tremendous popularity: Fudges, for which Kress stores are noted, more than 1000 tons sold in a single year.
This speaks for itself. The manufactures can afford to handle this enormous volume on the lowest possible margin of profit. We can afford to sell at the very smallest profit on each pound.

A movement for a fixed tax to support state educational institutions and a single administrative body to govern these schools will be gun by the alumni of the University of Kansas next week. The launching is to take place in Kansas City, Kan., at the reception which is to be given by the Kansas City, Kan., alumni April s.
The plan, it is said, is to choose a chairman from among the alumni in each county in the state. County meetings will be held and later the chairmen will meet in a state meeting of alumni
"Probably no more than a discussion and formulation of plans can be done at the meeting April 8," said L. N. Flint, secretary of the National Alumni Association, in speaking of the movement. "But there is no doubt that the alumni will open a campaign for a fixed tax system and a single administrative board.
A Campaign for a Fixed Tax to Be Begun April 8.
图1-2
"We believe that such a tax plan would afford the greatest opportunity for the advancement of the state educational institutions. We also feel that the single administrative board system is an amirable one when properly handled. College alumni are now about the only class of men who are not organized for the promotion of their best interests. It is the idea of the University graduates to band themselves together for the purpose of studying such problems and working them out to the advantage of the schools."
LECTURES FOR THE GRANGE
Farmers Find a New Use for the State's Higher Schools.
The committee on education of the Kansas State Grange met at the University Friday with Mr. E. B. Cowgill, of the department of University extension. The members of the committee are E. B. Cowgill, chairman; A. P. Reardon of Jefferson county, and J. C. Burcher of Osage City.
It was arranged to have educational addresses prepared by the professors of the University, the Agricultural College, and the State Normal. Copies of these addresses will be forwarded to the lecturers of the local granges throughout the state for use during the lecture hours of the grange meetings. One lecture will be sent for every month.
Fight Over Girl.
Chauncey Hobart an alumnus of Northwestern University and Paul Luker, a member of the junior class, fought ten rounds to a draw Friday without gloves, in the gymnasium of that University. A girl is said to have been the object of the fight. Neither Hobart nor Luker would discuss the fight, both declaring it to be a slight personal quarrel.

QUIZ WEEK EASY FOR INDIANANS
HESS ADVISES KANSAS TO ADOPT THEIR PLAN.
According to Scheme Suggested Schedule is Posted Three Weeks in Advance.
A letter was received by the Kansan this week from John Hess, who graduated from the the University in 1908, and who is now teaching in the University of Indiana, relative to the present unsatisfactory method of giving examinations in this University and in which he submits the Indiana plan as an improvement over the one in use here. The letter follows:
"For several years I remember various reforms for examination week have been advocated at Kansas University, by both faculty and students alike, in order by some means to relieve the unusual and unnecessary demand made upon the nerve forces of all concerned.
"It is evident, when a student rushes from one examination to the next, with his mind wearied and his heart perhaps faint from the demands of the previous one, that he is in no condition to give a proper exhibition of his knowledge. Neither can he attempt to give a systematic and careful review of the work covered during the term—a review, by the way, which is highly desirable for clinching and arranging the essential points—when examinations in three different subjects are scheduled for the same day.
"Likewise when there is no vacation between the terms and all reports must be in by Saturday noon following examination on Friday, either one of two things will happen. The very conscientious teacher will probably work at high pitch, burn midnight oil, or work all night as in one department read his quiz books faithfully and get his report in on time. He feels that he has done his duty although he suffer for the next week with impaired digestion and unstrung nerves. The teacher who is more careful of his health will glance through the examinations in a general way, somewhat as we scan the morning paper, and will then turn in his report based for the most part upon class room recitations and tests scattered through the term. Perhaps he has been wise, for the whole status of examination week has been unnatural.
"Accompanying the examinations is the vicious practice of cramming. I believe that there are many students who count on making their credits by cramming during the last few weeks, especially examination week. It is true that the Indiana plan lends itself more easily to this evil, but for the conscientious student it furnishes a much better opportunity for a satisfactory review. However, it is no fault of the system, but merely a general tendency to value the finals too highly.
"The examination scheme is quite simple. An examination schedule is printed some two or three weeks before the end of the term and posted in public places. Copies are also mailed to each teacher. A student taking five hour subjects cannot possibly have more than one examination in a day. It begins at 9 a.m. and lasts until noon, if he needs that much time. If a student is taking a three hour reading course, in German, for example, and a two hour composition course at the same hour, he will be examined in the former at 9 a.m. and in the latter at 2 p.m. The examination day for any particular period is varied from time to time. In the fall term the eleven o'clock classes were examined on Friday; in the winter term the 10 o'clock classes were last; probably next term it will be the 9 o'clock classes. However, this arrangement is more or less of a lottery, so that students are unable to choose their hours with a view to having their inter-term vacation commence earlier.
"JOHN A. HESS, K. U. '08."
GOLF MATCHES ARRANGED
Committee Announces a Series of Scheduled Games.
The Oread golf club tournament committee, consisting of D. L. Patterson, C. C. Crawford and J. D. Newton, has just completed a schedule of events for the members of the club. The first event comes on April 8, and will be a match between selected teams from the club members. A smoker will be given on the evening of that date in honor of the winning team. The big event of the season for the golfers will be the annual club handicap tournament, beginning May 13 and running through two weeks, to May 27. The handicaps are arranged for by comparing the April and May score cards of the various members. The annual tournament to determine the championship of the club will not be held until early next fall. The tournament committee is also in correspondence with teams at Leavenworth, Topeka and Kansas City, and expects to schedule matches with all of these out of town teams.
The schedule as prepared by the committee for the club members is as follows:
April 8. Match between selected teams.
April 15. Four ball foursome tournament.
April 22. Medal play tournament—18 holes.
 April 29. Bomstone tournament.
May 6. Mixed foursome tournament.
May 13. Annual club handicap tournament begins.
May 20. Approaching and putting contests.
May 27. Finals in handicap tournament.
May 30. Decoration Day program.
VANDALISM IN MUSEUM.
Thieving Students Give Cause for a Fence.
You may have noticed that the doors to the dome of the Museum building are locked and that the permission of the man in the base ment is necessary for admittance into the room of animals and birds. The answer lies in the fact that some few of the many visitors to the Museum building who have viewed the plaster cast of the new Administration building which was set up this winter, have not been able to resist a strong tendency to vandalism and have stolen some of the cornie of the building and the miniature lamps that stand on either side of the entrance to the building. The University authorities have taken steps since then to prevent this wanton vandalism. Professor W. A. Griffith, who has the cast in charge, is having an iron fence constructed in the Fowler shops which will be put around the table on which the cast is mounted. This fence will be completed within a few days and set up in the Museum building. It will be four and one-half feet high and thirty inches from the table, well without the reach of the longest arm of the University. At the same time that the fence is installed the proper mounting of the cast will be completed. It will be imbedded in sand and the crevices between the sections of the building will be filled with cement.
BARN PARTY SUCCESSFUL.
400 Students Had a Good Time Saturday Night.
Maurice Blacker and Stan Meyers, both of Kansas City, spent Sunday at the Phi Psi house.
The "Old Barn party," given by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. in the gymnasium Saturday night, was attended by over 400 students. The event was the largest of its kind ever given at the University. According to the plans of the committee there should have been hay, straw and corn-stalks scattered in different parts of the floor. When the wagons drew up with the "scenery," however, the janitor refused to allow it to be taken inside the building. The objection was that there was too great a risk of a fire and also that none of the buildings on the hill are insured.
A quartet consisting of Buxton, Marshall, Campion and McKay started the program of the evening with a medley of popular songs. After the male number, Naomi Lowe of the Fine Arts School gave a vocal solo, which was well received. The next number, a Virginia reel, brought forth great applause. When this number was over the clapping continued until it seemed as if the party would have to be turned into a dance.
A number of impersonations
by George Bowles were followed by a hotly contested spelling match. Prof. W. E. Higgins of the Law School gave out the words. He explained that he was a little rustic at giving a spelling quiz, as the laws "don't have to spell." The contest was between the evens and the odds. The evens won. An elaborate meal ended this successful barn party.
MARCH PRETTY FAIR.
Rather Warm and Not Much Rainfall.
The seismograph showed no strong earthquakes during the month. A slight but distinct disturbance was recorded on the 10, which was probably due to a powder explosion in Wisconsin.
March, 1911, was a comparatively warm dry month. The highest temperature was 76 degrees on the 20 and the lowest was 18.1 degrees on the 1. The mean temperature was 46.05 degrees, which is 3.81 degrees above the average for March during the years that the University record has been kept since 1868. The rainfall was but .43 inches, which is 1.89 inches below the March average.

FOOTBALL MEN ARE INDIFFERENT
MANAGER, CAPTAIN AND PLAYERS ARE WAITING.
Spring Track Work Keeps Grid iron Athletes Busy—Jay Bond May Help Coach.
Indifference seems to be the word that describes the attitude of the management, the captain of the team and the football players themselves this spring. Usually the first day of April sees the men out on the golf links south of McCook field donned in the mole-skins and kicking the oblong spheroid in spirals that promise much for the next year. Whether it is the peculiar and varied weather or whether it is the great interest that the men are taking in track work this spring that may explain this lack of interest in the prospects of the football machine for next year, is an open question. The captain says that spring football doesn't amount to much anyway, and then, too, we have no coach this spring, so what is the use of the men going out for the little while that they could play, in the hot weather. The management declares that they will leave the matter altogether to the initiation of the men themselves and will
In case the men deem that it would be of sufficient importance to make their appearance on the field prepared for signal practice, Jay Bond, the star half-back of the ever victorious team of 1908, will be present to aid the captain in whipping the men into shape. Captain Ammons has been busy with the track team this spring, and has not yet had the time for spring practice, and none of the other men have undertaken the burden of assuming the initiative of asking the management to call the spring practice. Heretofore some good has been derived from the practice in kicking and signal work, and on one occasion a cup was awarded to the man who performed the best as the all-round punter and place kicker of the squad.

ATTRACTIONS THIS YEAR OF UNUSUAL MERIT.
MUSIC FESTIVAL STARTS THIS WEEK
Prof. P. F. Walker will speak at the Mining Journal tomorrow at 4:30.
Madame Norelli, Carlo Fischer and Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra to Appear in Concert.
The eighth annual Music Festival will be held this week.Each year, through the efforts of Dean Skilton there has been a musical attraction that has become to be an important part of the school life. This year the attractions are of a greater merit than ever before and Dean Skilton announces that the soloists are superior to any that have ever appeared before a University audience.
Madame Norcelli, who will appear in concert on Thursday evening, is a soprano who has won much attention abroad and since her appearance in this country has attracted the favorable comment of the best critics by her work. She is a Swedish singer and for four years was with the Covent Garden Opera company. She is perhaps the most noted woman singer who has ever appeared in the city. Carlo Fischer, violoncellist, who will also appear on Thursday evening, is considered one of the world's greatest cellists. This is his fourth year with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. He has been the 'cello soloist with some of the greatest orchestras before he affiliated himself with the present organization. He has been with the Pittsburg Symphony Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and has been doing much solo work.
The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra on its previous visits to the city has demonstrated that it is one of the greatest musical organizations in the world today. Under the direction of Emil Oberhoffer it has developed into a great musical machine and its third appearance in this city will be appreciated by all who have ever heard it. The orchestra is now on a western tour and makes only three stops in Kansas. Mrs. Blanche Lyons and Prof. Wort Morse of the University department of music will also assist at the concert.
Student tickets may be exchanged tomorrow morning at Woodward's drug store. Dean Skilton reports that the seat sale is much better than in former years and that financially the Festival will be a success.

For the benefit of the coffee drinkers of the University, Bessa David, a senior in the College, has made certain experiments, which show that of the three most popular beverages with the students cocon, tea and coffee, the latter is by far the most injurious. After making her tests Miss David gave Dr. James Naismith a full report of the work. He said: "The proof which Miss David has offered should be considered by the students, as it means much to their health in old age."
BOYLES, 725 Mass. St.
The experiments were made with persons of differentet temperaments and under different conditions of light, heat and excitement. The results were all of the same general nature. The quickness of the reaction from the stimuli of sight, sound and touch was compared after the person had partaken of one of the three stimulants. Miss David said:"I found by actual test that cocoa acted only as a slight stimulus, tea was more vigorous and coffee was by far the strongest of the three. As is well known unnatural stimuli to the body are injurious to the health of a person. My experiments have proven to my mind at least that coffee is detrimental to our health and hence to our success in life."

REGENTS MEETING TODAY
Gov. Stubbs Requests University Regents to Investigate.
The Board of Regents of the three state educational institutions are meeting today in Topeka at the call of Governor Stubbs. These representatives of the State Agricultural College, the State Normal school and the University of Kansas are to try to make some plans by which the three schools can effect a closer co-ordination in their work. President Waters of the Agricultural College, President Hill of the State Normal, and Chancellor Strong of the University will also be present. It has been found that in several cases there is an unnecessary overlapping of the work of the three schools that can be remedied without much difficulty and it is for this purpose that the boards are meeting.
Yesterday Governor Stubbs sent a letter to the Board of Regents of the University in which he took exceptions to the recent editorial in the Graduate Magazine and asked the members to conduct a personal investigation of the matter and to report to him today. He intimates that if the charges made by the Magazine cannot be substantiated, there ought to be a repudiation of the article. If sufficient time can be found for a private meeting after the session with the other Regents, the question will be threshed out tonight.
ENGLISH CREDITS SHAKY.
Upperclassmen May Be Made to Repeat Rhetoric.
Few students of the University are aware of the recent ruling of the faculty in regard to the granting of credit by the department of English on a provisional basis.
The ruling provides that all instructors in the college shall be supplied by the registrar's office with a set of blanks, on which a record shall be kept by the instructor, of each student's proficiency in English.
If, at the end of a term, two processors turn in an adverse report concerning a student's ability to speak and write the English language properly, his credit for first year rhetoric will be taken away and he will be required to take the subject over again at the earliest opportunity. If an excessively large number of upper classmen prove deficient, extra classes in rhetoric will be organized next fall.
The saving feature of the system is that the department of English may veto the action of the registrar's office, and, if they see fit, allow the student to retain his credits.
The University museum will hereafter be open Sunday afternoon from one thirty to five. This innovation is due to a new law passed by the recent legislature. It requires all buildings belonging to the state that contain museums or other exhibits for public inspection, to be open Sunday afternoons during these hours and the authorities must provide proper supervision over them during this time.
MUSEUM OPEN SUNDAY.
Will Meet Friday.
Legislature Passed a Law to that Effect
The United States senate or Cooley club will have its regular weekly meeting Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The subject to be discussed is "An act to provide for the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people."

The co-eds are Brownie Angle, Clara Osgood, Mildred Manley, Lucile Wilkinson, Hannah Mitchell and Margaret Darraugh. The boys in the chorus are Karl Moore, Edmund Rhodes, George Hill, Ben Marshall, Art Moses and George Stuckey.
The musical numbers in the first act are the opening chorus, Milo from Cairo and If I fell in Love." Those in the second act are Now Wouldn't You, Its Midnight—Goodnight, and Life's a Dream.
The setting of the play is at a university at the present time. The plot is of an Egyptian princess, who has read in novels of American college men and has decided that she must marry one. Her father humors her and the trip is made to America. The first act portrays the excitement at the university before her arrival. After the princess has picked one of the students for her husband difficulties arise over the theft of an Egyptian jewel. The complications are settled in the second act, and the characters live happily ever after.
Egyptian costumes will be worn by the foreign characters. A specialty dance will be given by the four Egyptian girls. The music for the farce and the prom will be given by Kelley's nine-piece orchestra of Kanass City. The book, lyrics and music for the farce have been written by George Bowles.
Ralph Spotts, William Caldwell and Donald Martindell, will spend the Easter vacation in Kansas City, Mo., where they will co-operate in a series of religious meetings for the boys of the Baptist and Lutheran churches.

SENIORS ALMOST ARRESTED
Police Raid Restaurant Where They Were About to Banquet.
Have you ever sat in the parlor and smelled a chicken pie that was being prepared in the kitchen? And hawe you ever sat in the parlor and waited for the chicken pie to be served? If you have ever had to suffer the resultant pangs of hunger as your savory meal was delayed you can appreciate the feelings of thirteen members of the senior class who had gathered at a downtown restaurant last night for a little feed of home made cooking including a generous portion of chicken pie. These thirteen seniors were sniffing the air in delicious anticipation and were wondering why there was such an unnecessary delay in the serving of the edibles, when one of their number who had been on a tour of inspection found that a half hour before the men had gathered, the Lawrence police had made a raid on the place and had placed the owner, Mrs. Susie Earl, under arrest for selling toxicants.
As soon as the cause of the delay was ascertained, several of the men went to police headquarters and succeeded in raising one hundred dollars, the amount of bail asked for Mrs. Earl. Released from the clutches of the law, Mrs. Earl hurried home and in a short time the thirteen highbrows were partaking of their long delayed banquet.
MAY LIVE AGAIN.
Plan Proposed to Restore Athletic Association to Activity.
The Athletic association of the University, which has been in a moribund state for a number of years, may be restored to a condition of activity if the plans of a number of students are carried out. At a meeting of the Sachems, the senior society, held last week, a committee was appointed to make a general survey of the affairs of the association.
The constitution of the association has been amended at various times and the amendments have been lost by the secretaries. The senior committee will make an effort to find just where the association stands. This will be a preliminary movement toward restoring the association to a part of the power of which it has been shorn. The success of the movement depends, of course, upon the interest the student body shows in the attempt to rejuvenate the athletic association.
EMMA GOLDMAN TO SPEAK
She and Her Manager Will Address Good Government Club.
The Good Government club will meet tonight at the Alpha Tau house. Dr. Ben L. Reitman, manager for Emma Goldman, will speak to the club on the subject, "The Government and Vagrants."

Otis M. Edmondson, a junior law from Winchester, Ill., and Almont B. Cotton, a special in the School of Engineering from Wamego, have been pledged by the Acacia fraternity.
TICKET IN FIELD FOR NEXT ELECTION
SECOND TICKET WILL SOON BE ANNOUNCED.
Soccer Is Included in Committees This Year—Election in Two Weeks.
Students in the University who are interested in the Athletic board election for the following year have already issued a ticket, called the "Representative ticket." A second ticket will probably be announced in a few days. Election will take place in about two weeks.
The following names are on the Representative ticket:
President—"Uncle Jimmie" Green
Vice president-Bill Price.
Board Members—
Earl Ammons,
Ellis Davidson,
Bobby Roberts,
Carl Hicks.
Chairman of committees—Football—Levi Kabler.
Baseball—Glenn Wilhelm.
Basket-ball—Don Dousman.
Track—G. Smith.
Tennis—Wm. Rohrer.
Soccer—Asher Hobson.
Swimming—Eugene Davis.
Rowing—Emil Grignard.
REFUSES TO RUN.
Dean Green Will Not Again Become a Candidate.
"Uncle Jimmy" Green, whose name has appeared with regularity on every ticket at each Athletic board election for years past, has declined to again become a candidate for re-election to the board. While the common opinion seems to be that "Uncle Jimmie" has become discouraged at the encroachment of the Board of Regents on the power supposed to be delegated to the board of control of athletics, yet in an interview this morning Dean Green denied this to be his reason for refusing to again become a candidate for re-election.
"I feel," said he "that I have been more than duly honored in many successive re-elections to the board. I have served my time nad believe that I should now turn my place over to some one else.
"I do not know who will be my successor, but whoever he is, I can assure him that his duties will be neither arduous, nor his position difficult to fill."
Freshman Blisters.
A cap on the head is worth two in the store.

THE MATTER OF A DORMI TORY.
The movement started by certain members of the alumni in the city to provide for a small dormitory for the girls at the University, ought to be encouraged. There has been considerable discussion as to the advisability of securing a house that will accommodate no more than thirty girls and making it subject to the rules that are supposed to govern a dormitory under University direction. It has been suggested that because of the small number of girls that will be accommodated, there is sure to arise a clique or small social set that will in no way contribute for a growing democratic University spirit.
If the dormitory that is being planned will generate a social caste or lead to the establishment of a social strata, the movement has no merit. But if the University is made to have authority over the house and is allowed to exercise a supervision such as it would use over dormitories set up by the state, there is no reason to fear for any bad results. If the ladies who are interested in the scheme can prove to the people of Kansas that a small dormitory is a good thing for the University, probably when the Legislature meets again to consider our needs they will be induced
to provide for the thing that is bound to come sooner or later.
And the merry patter of, the paddle goes on. This week the men of the freshman class are discovering that life at K. U. is not a bed of roses and that the road to erudition is blocked by husky upperclassmen who insist upon the wearing of abbreviated headgear or the painful alternative of being paddled. Although this may seem to be rather harsh treatment for those who are so young, the good derived more than offsets the inconvenience that the freshmen suffer. The wearing of caps is demanded by the Student Council and as soon as we commence to respect every ruling of that body, just then will it be a dominant force in University affairs. The freshmen who object to wearing the caps deserve to be paddled. But in several instances it seems that the upper classes have been too vigorous in their use of the shingle. There should be some element of restraint exercised by both of the parties concerned.
The Hutchinson News thinks the Lawrence Journal-World's campaign for a bath tub in every house will be viewed with alarm by all friends of "boys with the bark on."
Baldwin, the seat of Baker University, may take first place in Kansas in point of godliness, but Lawrence is making a strong bid for second place as the champion of cleanliness. The Lawrence Journal-World has started a campaign for a bath tub in every dwelling, and the University has established a fellowship in soap-making.

Journalism at Missouri.
The University of Missouri has adopted new requirements for admission into the school. Two years' of college work are required with courses in physical and biological science, ancient and modern language, history, logic, psychology and political science. The new requirements are higher than those of any other school in the United States, and becomes effective in September, 1911. The school, like that of Michigan, offers the professional degree of Bachelor of Science. Before a degree is offered seventy-two hours must be finished in the School of Journalism.

KICKS.
To the Kansan:
In view of the fact that so many of the freshmen, particularly the engineers, are undergoing extreme punishment and humiliation at the hands of the upper-classmen, I wish to say a few words through your columns regarding the injustice of this order and treatment. One of the prime objects of the Student Council is supposed to be that of offering protection to the oppressed and unprotected members of the student body, and to legislate for their benefit. It has undoubtedly done away with a great deal of that barbaric horse-play which served no purpose other than that of amusing a few idle upper-classmen, but the fact that it still requires the freshman to wear the hideous and unhealthy freshman cap, is not in keeping with its purpose and end.
ONE OF THEM.
These caps afford no protection from the sun and inclement weather, and may be the cause of some irreparable injury in the form of weak eyes, pneumonia, bad colds, etc. The sudden change from the heavy winter cap or hat, is extremely dangerous to the freshman's health. An order like this has absolutely no excuse for being. It is foolish, insensible, and is not in keeping with the common sense ordinarily supposed to be possessed by an organization like the Student Council.

RADICAL CHANGES IN INDOOR SPORTS
DR. NAISMITH ANNOUNCES ACTION OF COMMITTEE.
Timekeeper and Dribble Come in for a Share—Free Throw Is Defined.
Changes made in the intercollegiate basket-ball rules for 1912, at a meeting of the National Rules committee on basket-ball, held in New York city, last Saturday, were announced today by Dr. Naismith, a member of the committee, who returned last night from New York city. The conference was held at the Hotel Imperial and was attended by delegates from all of the colleges and universities throughout the United States. Many radical changes were made, the most noticeable were those relating to the dribble, abolition of separate timekeepers, and the taking out of time by the opposing teams Following are some of the most important in the rules:
1. The umpire is to be the only time keeper.
2. No substitutes to enter the field of play until recognized by the referee.
3. Dribble ceases when the ball touches both hands at the same time.
4. If no time has been taken out during the first ten minutes of play in either half, the referee calls an intermission of two minutes.
5. A captain can call time only three times in the game.
6. Illegal to stop the motion of a player in any direction who has not the ball.
7. The words "more than momentarily" to be omitted in rule 10.
8. A free throw is to be awarded in addition to disqualification for attempt to interfere with the man who is trying to shoot the ball from under the goal. Also for any foul committed upon a man shooting for goal, if goal is successful one free throw is awarded and if unsuccessful two free throws are awarded.
"The whole tendency of the country is to go toward the open game and it is getting to this point. The game will be cleaner and faster. The Eastern style of playing, that is, playing the man instead of the ball is rapidly losing out. The Western style of playing the ball is a much better game, and besides we play better ball than the Easterners," said Dr. Naismith.
While in the East Dr. Naismith attended a soccer tournament in Philadelphia where twelve teams were entered. The soccer game is becoming very popular in the East and is gaining many adherents.
TO ADVANCE THE STATE.
Real Function of Higher Education is Social.
TOURNAMENT STARTS.
"The real function of education is not to make life easier for the graduate or student but by moral responsibility to better the condition of the country," said Prof. R. A. Schweegler, of the department of education, in his chapel address Tuesday morning.
"The student's view of education," he continued, "is that it is a convenient medium to greater ability. However, the state has scant interest in an individual personally, but only as a member of the body politic. Therefore the state's view of higher education is that it must perform a great civic function, for the educated people are the masters. Moreover, a state must either reepee or advance, and naturally the state chooses to advance by maintaining state institutions."

The first handball tournament ever held at Kansas. University, started Monday with twenty-one entries in the singles and sixteen in the doubles. The tournament will be a round robin affair, and each man plays all the others. This makes each participant in the singles play sixty games, as each contest consists of one set of three games. For this reason the tournament will not be over this week, as expected, but will last for several weeks.

Owing to the difficulty of arranging a schedule each contestant will arrange his own games with each of the other entries. When the contestant has arranged his time he should notify C. B. Root, who has general charge of the tournament. This is so that there will be no conflicts. All the games should be played on the court in the southeast room of the first floor. The contestants will furnish their own balls. The regulation ball is the squash ball and it may be either white or green. The games, as soon as played, should be reported to C. B. Root.
No More Orders Will be Taken After April 7.
TIME LIMIT SET.
Orders for invitations are being taken this week at the cheek stand. Lawrence Brown chairman of the committee, announces that positively no orders will be taken after April 7. Heretofore second orders have been sent in, but that will be impossible this year because of the special rates that are being made. All invitations are being made absolutely at cost. There are two kinds that may be ordered. Leather covers may be had at twenty-five cents each or three dollars a dozen, and paper invitations at seventeen cents each. The contents of both are exactly the same in paper, steel cuts, printing, etc., except the covers. A dummy of each may be seen at the cheek stand, where invitations will be on sale every day after chapel and Friday afternoon.
Alvin L. Babb, a special in the College, and a graduate of the Dillenbeek School of Oratory of Kansas City, will give an elocation recital this evening at Princeon, Kan. Friday night he will be at Mapleton and Saturday at Quenemo.

PRESIDENT MURLIN GOES TO BOSTON
Recipient of New Honor Has Had a Distinguished Career—Once a Minister in Berlin.
HEAD OF BAKER UNIVER
SITY CALLED TO THE EAST
Baldwin, Kan., April 5.—News reached here today that the Rev. Dr. L. H. Murlin, president of Baker University, has been chosen president of Boston University. It is generally understood that Doctor Murlin will accept the call to Boston, and assume his new duties at the end of the present school year. Doctor Murlin is in New York now.
The Rev. Dr. Lemuel H. Murlin, who is to become president of Boston University, has been president of Baker University since 1894. At that time he was only 32 years old and he was pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church at Vincennes, Ind., at the time he was called to Baker.
In 1909 he was given a year's leave of absence from his duties as president of Baker and went abroad. While there he acted as pastor of the American church in Berlin, a church supported largely by American tourists. It is not a denominational organization, but aims to care for the spiritual needs of American Protestants in Germany. So successful was Doctor Murlin's pastorate of a year in Berlin that he was asked to continue as pastor of the church, but felt at that time that his work was in Kansas.
Doctor Murlin was graduated from Fort Wayne College, Indiana, in 1886, and received a degree of bachelor of arts from DePauw University. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania, Clark University and in Europe later. In 1897 he was given the degree of doctor of divinity by Cornell College at Mount Vernon, Ia., and in 1908 was given the degree of LL. D. by DePauw University.
Boston University was incorporated in 1869. It consists of colleges of liberal arts, theology law, medicine and a post-graduate department. There is also a college of agriculture at Amherst, Mass., which is a part of the University.
A COSTLY ACCIDENT.
Secretary Brown Loses Gun, But Gets Duck.
Edw. E. Brown, secretary and purchasing agent of the University, and Prof. H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontology were the victims of an involuntary cold bath at Lake View last Saturday afternoon, when their canoe capsized. Professor Martin had brought down a duck and as the dog jumped to retrieve the bird, the impetus was sufficient to overturn the boat.
The men were barely able to touch bottom and experienced some difficulty in righting the canoe. Mr. Brown lost a shotgun, at 890, but Professor Martin managed to save his. A huge magnet is being made for the purpose of recovering the gun. They got the duck.

DOUSMAN TO LEAD NEXT YARSITY FIVE
STAR GUARD ELECTED TO CAPTAINCY YEESTERDAY.
Captain-Elect Made an Enviable Record Last Season-Three Years at Manual.
Donald L. Dousman of Kansas City, Mo., was elected captain of the basket-ball team for the coming year at the Eldridge house last night. Only eight of the squad this year were eligible to vote on the captainey.
The consistent playing of Dousman this year at the position of guard on the varsity five, won for him the honor of leading the Jayhawker team of 1911 and 1912. Besides holding his opposing forwards to few goals Dousman has during the entire season, added materially to the Kansas score. He threw during the season of eighteen games 41 goals from the field, or within one of as many as "Shorty" Long, one of the star forwards. This record has seldom been equalled by a guard on a K. U. basket-ball team. In all the games but 29 fouls were called on Dousman. The small number of fouls called on the whole Kansas team this year, attests the fact that the men played one of the cleanest games of any team in the Missouri Valley League.
Last year Dousman played a star guard on the freshman team. The captain-elect received his high school training on the Manual Training high school basketball five of Kansas City. He played three years on the high school team. When he came to the University he took up the college game and proved himself to be varsity material.
Professor J. N. Van der Vries of the department of mathematics addressed the Teachers' association at Topeka last Saturday evening.

The instrument is to be used mostly for research work in psychology, for records through long periods of time, such as recording blood changes in a night's sleep. It is the only one of its kind in the Mississippi valley. No finer instrument is in use in any psychology or physiology laboratory nearer than the University of California.

MUSIC FESTIVAL A GREAT SUCCESS
LARGE CROWDS ATTENDED ANNUAL MUSICAL EVENT.
University Artists Well Received Marcus Kellerman Scores Hit With "Danny Deever."
The Eighth Annual Music Festival has been a great success artistically and financially. Just what the receipts are is not yet known but it is certain that they will more than cover expenses. The house was practically filled throughout the Festival, although the attendance was somewhat greater on Friday night.
From an artistic standpoint the Festival left little to be desired. The Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, under its able leader, gave excellent interpretations of the numbers on the program. To musical people the Tschaikowski Symphony was probably the most interesting of its selections, although it was evidently appreciated by the audience generally. The unusual pizzicati movement for strings was a novelty and the beautiful solos for oboe and cello in the first movement were excellently played. Perhaps the only criticism of the programs is that the Beethoven Symphony followed instead of preceded the Tschaikowski Symphony. The modern ideas of theory exemplified in the Russian composition appear as a result of the earlier Beethoven work and it would no doubt have been more effective had the arrangement been reversed. The Strauss selection and the Ballet music by Massenet and Glazounow are deserving of especial mention, the latter being interesting for its orchestration which was unusually heavy. Hadley's Angelus is from one of the few American Symphonies of worth and it compares favorably with the other program numbers.
The soloists made a very good impression generally. Madam No relli sang with excellent interpretation and color. She sang a Grieg song which she had studied with the composer and her rendition was interesting from that standpoint. Her voice is big and dramatic and it would have been interesting to have heard her with the orchestra. Genevieve Wheat and Lucille Tewksbury added to their already good impression by their work at the afternoon concert. The Lorelei by Liszt, sung by Miss Wheat was much more interesting with the orchestra than it was last year with the piano accompaniment. Marcus Kellerman with "Danny Deever" recalled the Festival in which Bispham participated. It was well sung and is a prime favorite with the audience. Carlo Fischer is an old favorite here and played as usual with taste and feeling. He was at a disadvantage, too, as he had damaged his instrument in transit and had to have it repaired hastily after his arrival. The University may well be proud of the local soloist, Mrs. Lyon sang well, her voice being clear and above the orchestra at all times, and Mr. Morse may be commended for his scholarly rend-
tion of the concerto and the well deserved encore.
On the whole the Festival this year has been greatly enjoyed and will be remembered with pleasure by the many who heard it. That the student body generally do not attend the concerts is to be deplored,as the opportunity for musical education and culture is not a common one, and should be taken advantage of.

REGENTS ANSWER GOVERNOR'S LETTER
STATEMENT BY DEAN TEMPLIIN WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
Report That Certain Repairs Must Be Made—Hope That Controversy Will Cease.
In answer to a letter sent this week by Governor Stubbs to the Board of Regents of the University, a letter was filed yesterday with the governor in which the statements relative to the refusing admission to five hundred students within the next two years were declared to be without official authority. In his letter the governor asked that the regents conduct a personal investigation of this matter and also that they report on the actual condition of affairs as they are said to exist by the recent editorial in the Graduate Magazine.
In answer to the inquiry as to the statements made by Dean Templin, the Regents said that they were entirely without the sanction of the Board and they also explained that the controversy as to the $40,000 item of University upkeep in no way emanated from the Regents or from the administrative powers of the University.
The letter does not go deeply into the details asked for by the governor, as the Board had not had sufficient time in which to conduct a close investigation. Their letter says, however, that there is no reason to suppose that the University will refuse admission to five hundred students.
In regard to some of the specific questions asked by the governor, it was stated that in several cases there was defective wiring that might entail a loss of both life and property and that the need for this rewiring was so apparent that some work would have to be done and that the money must be taken from the appropriation for upkeep. As to the foundations that were said to be crumbling and in immediate need of repair, it was stated that the foundation under Snow hall was in bad shape and that there was really danger to life. The cost of repairing this must be taken from the appropriation for upkeep. In answer to the question as to the condition of the Medical School, it was pointed out that any enlargement of the school must necessarily come from the appropriation of 1909.
The letter closed with an assurance that the University will return to the taxpayer full value received and that it is hoped that any controversy between the governor and the University will cease and that the Board of Regents will lend its influence and authority in that direction.
Dean Templin was interviewed today with regard to the letter sent out yesterday by the Regents and he states that their action in no way would effect his plans for the future. "This entire plan of refusing admission to five hundred students within the next two years has been generally misunderstood," said the Dean. "In my original plan it was not intended that the University should set a numerical limit to the number of students that should be enrolled and after that refuse to allow any more to enter. There are various other ways by which the enrollment might be kept down. For instance, it might be decided to increase the standard of efficiency of school work or to have less leniency in regard to keeping up the grade of school work or to make the entrance requirements more rigid. In view of the large number of students already in classes and the small number of teachers and no immediate prospect of obtaining more, it might be well to limit the number of students who are to attend this institution. However, the matter will be allowed to stand as it is at the present time, but it is my intention to present a plan at the regular meeting of the regents when I am to make my formal report for the year in which the exact idea will be explained."
A SENIOR ATTACKED.
Fred Pettit Encountered in North Park This Morning.
When Fred Pettit, a senior in the College tried to assist a man whom he found lying by the side of the walk in North park this morning he was viciously attacked. Pettit and a companion were returning home from a dance in Ecke's hall about 1 o'clock.
As they approached a shaded part of the walk, they noticed a dark object lying nearby. Upon closer inspection Pettit found the object to be the body of a man. When the student prodded the prostrate form to see if the man was asleep, he was beset with vigour. As the disturbed man rushed at his would-be helper, he shouted: "You're the wise guy I'm after and I'll get you." The struggle lasted for several minutes when Pettit threw his assaultant to the ground and joined his companion.
FRESHMAN TEAM PICKED.
Coach Harlan Will Have a Squad of Seventeen.

COMMISSION NAMED TO AID REGENTS
THREE SUB.COMMITTEES AP-
POINTED BY GOV. STUBBS.
Another Committee Will Report on Mill Tax Law—Presidents Are Pleased.
One of the most important educational meetings in the history of the state was held in Governor Stubb's office in Topeka, Thursday when a new state commission was establisher which was made up of Regents chosen from the various institutions. Governor Stubbs will be the president of the new commission, and Supt. of Public Instruction, E. T. Fairchild will be secretary. The purpose of the new commission, as announced to the Regents, all of whom met in Topeka Thursday is to secure greater efficiency in the management of the schools and to create a bond of sympathy and understanding between the officials of the larger state educational institutions. The plan by which the governor will attempt to carry on the work is as follows: The regents of the different educational institutions will have direct supervision over the school. In addition to these boards of regents the commission provided for three subcommittees of three members each. Each of the three educational institutions shall be represented on each committee. The three committees and their membership are as follows: Committee on business management, L. S. Cambern, K. U.; M. M. Sherman, Agricultural, J. E. Junkin, Normal.
Committee on Efficiency—W. A. White, K. U.; A. L. Spons尔，Agricultural; S. Ingalls. Normal.
Committee on co-ordination of work—Scott Hopkins, K. U.; Arthur Capper, Agricultural; G. E. Tucker, Normal.
Chancellor Strong and Joseph Hill, president of the State Normal School, and H. J. Waters, president of the Agricultural College, have declared themselves heartily in favor of the new scheme and believe that it will solve the problem of co-ordination between the state schools.
Under this arrangement three regents were left to look after affairs at large. Another committee was appointed to make a detailed and exhaustive report to the committee on the advisability of adopting the mill tax method of taxation in the state of Kansas for the support of state educational institutions. The members of this committee are, Rodney Elward, W. E. Blackburn and J. E. Boyer. Governor Stubbs expressed himself yesterday as favorable to such a state tax.
Governor Stubbs said yesterday in referring to the caliber of the men who met with him in Topeka to discuss the future of high education in the state of Kansas: "Did you ever see a higher type of men gathered together in one crowd in Kansas? I never did."

THE MUSIC FESTIVAL.
The Music Festival was a grand success. The artists that appeared in concert and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra contributed to make the eighth annual Music festival the best in the history of the school.
The University of Kansas should be proud of the soloists from the department of music that appeared on the program, Mrs. Blanche Lyons, who sang an arioso from "Madam Butterfly" at the concert last evening was in excellent voice and probably pleased the audience better than upon any other previous appearance. Prof. Wort Morse, who is head of the department of violin, played Concerta No 4 by Vieuxtemps. To those who are familiar with the violin it is realized that this is an extremely difficult selection requiring for a pleasing rendition great technique and sympathy. The execution of this concerto by Prof. Morse was pleasing and delightful. The University is indeed fortunate to have at the head of its violin department one who is recognized as among the best in the United States, and who has al ready received offers to travel with the best orchestras that now tour the country. The accompaniments by Miss Greisinger and Miss Cooke were pleasing both
to the audience and especially to the soloists themselves.
To Dean C. S. Skilton is due to a great extent the success of the festival. It was through his efforts that the orchestra and artists were secured and he spared no effort to secure the best that could be obtained.
--why Emma Goldman should not have her say at the present time. The doctrines she advances will have to stand on their own merits for they will be subjected to critical examination. A University audience can be depended upon to "spot" what is visionary and untrue. The policy of suppressing the anarchist propaganda has given to the public the impression that there is an essential danger in the doctrine which is not really there.
In connection with the letter sent out by Governor Stubbs to the Regents asking upon whose authority Dean Templin's statement was made, it is well to remember that from the first it was intended only as a plan which the Dean would present to the Regents and urge its adoption.
Some of the upper classmen during the past few days seem to be imbued with an idea that a freshman is a freshman, and as such should be severely beaten, whether he possesses a cap or not. If some of these so-called seekers for higher learning would stop to consider that the breaking of a half-inch board over a freshman is apt to cause permanent injury and that the same vigorous wielding of the paddle is not absolutely necessary to make a freshman wear a cap, there would at least be a little judgment used by these men. A discreet use of the paddle will work no harm, but the actions of some of the students yesterday was deplorable.

Emma Goldman, the Anarchist will speak before a University club when she visits Lawrence tomorrow. Not many years ago such a thing would have shocked the public. Nowadays it attracts no attention. Miss Goldman addressed large audiences at the Universities of Wisconsin and Michigan this year. There may be times when the violent preaching of anarchism should be suppressed, but there is no reason
Expensive magazine and other advertising ret resents a large proportion of the cost of high priced candy. Kress candy is sold on a basis of profit similar to what the grocer sells sugar—no advertising to pay for. The average cost per pound for advertising some well known candies is in excess of the price at which we sell our candies.
All materials used in Kress Candy, such as chocolate, sugar, flavoring, etc., are as pure and free from adulteration as those used in candy sold for eighty cents a pound.
PURITY
The new State Commission for higher education ought to be a success. The plan of co-ordinating the work of the three state schools cannot help but create a greater efficiency in the work that each school is doing. At the meeting held this week plans were made to investigate the conditions and to decide on some definite action to be taken later. But one of the most significant things of the whole meeting was the stand of Governor Stubbs for the levying of a special tax for school purposes. If his plan is carried out the three state schools will have definite and fixed incomes that will insure a growth for them that will be in proportion to the growth of the state.

The team will play the varsity team here on May 11, or their way to the East. The following is a copy of the circulent sent to Manager Laudson, describing the trip that the men will make and the style of play that they have adopted: "The team will leave Japan on April 12 and will arrive in Seattle on April 28. They will go as far east as Washington, D.C., and New York, returning to San Francisco by June 21. Then they will leave for Honolulu for a series of ten games there. This is the strongest team Keio will have for several years as she loses a majority of her players by graduation. This is the first year that such a tour was ever made by a Japanese team and will be the last for several years, as upon graduation they serve two years in the Japanese army."
The players are small men, of an average height of five feet and four inches. They are exceptionally fast fielders and on the bases and play a very heady game. They are adepts at the hook slide used by Cobb and other famous players. Shaffer of the New York Giants, has been coaching them all the winter.
Keio has the champion base ball team of Japan, both of college and otherwise.

POWER OF FAITH.
At Y. M. Professor Culbertson Discusses Religious Hypotheses.
"A Growing Faith" was the subject on which Prof. H. C. Culbertson, president of Emporia College, spoke at the regular Thursday evening meeting of the Y. M. C. A. "There are four things that one should believe," said the speaker. "These are a belief in God, in a divine Jesus in the immortality of the soul,and the personal moral responsibility to a higher being. In every branch of life we take things for granted, and so we should also admit hypotheses in our religion. One hypothesis should be that God is love and that the supreme law of the universe is the personal love of Jesus."
"A miracle," he continued, "is an event well attested to by the onlookers and which in some measure we have not yet been able to classify by any natural law. Simply a wonder is no miracle and would give no control over a person's morals. The miracles of Jesus reveal God, while those of a generation afterward attributed to him are mere fancies. God is so far above us that he can speak to us only under limitations as when we speak to children. Hence God will speak to us only under the limitations of the trials of a life. One's conception of the universe depends on his interpretation and theory of life and true conception of Christianity takes the believers a step upward as no other religion can."
LECTURED TO TEACHERS.
Prof. Culbertson closed by giving an instance of two university students who were graduated together; but because of a difference of the conception of the universe, one of these fellows is now on the way to success financially by taking bribes while the other is on the way to success by helping his fellow men.
Dean Johnston Spoke at Wichita and Atchison.

WILL KEEP RECORDS.
Physical Director Will Compare Gymnasts and Others.
In order to gain exact information on the physical condition of the students taking the regular gymnasium work, Dr. James Naismith has appointed two members from his class in anthropometry for each of the freshman and sophomore gym classes. These students will examine the freshmen and sophomores, beginning next week, in running the 100 yards, putting the shot, high jump, sight, hearing and touch. The strength in weight lifting will also be recorded. By means of the instruments in the gymnasium the pulsation of the heart and the lung capacity will be tested.
It is Dr. Naismith's plan to keep an accurate account of the gain or loss of the students in the gym classes. At the beginning of the year such a test of the students was made before they were admitted to the classes. The report which the anthropometry class makes will be compared with the first record. A large card index has been installed in the University physician's office for the filing of the records.
The Resurrection of Jesus.
Prof. W. C. Payne will lecture to the women of the University at 3 p. m. Sunday, April 9, at Myers hall. The question of the "Resurrection" is of vital and abiding interest. Turn aside for an hour and think upon it. Mrs. Blanche Lyons and Mr. Quay Barnett will sing.

Farrel Starts Strong Game in Box—Farmers Won Yesterday's Contest 6-4.
At the end of the fifth inning of the baseball game between the State Agricultural College and Kansas today, the score was 14-1. The line-up of both teams was the same as yesterday except that Binsey started today for the Aggies and Farrel for Kansas. Hill caught for Kansas and Smith played center field. By the end of the third inning Farrel had struck out five men. Binsey was taken from the box at the end of the third and Stratton substituted. Stratton lasted only two innings and Hall, who pitched yesterday, was sent to the rubber. Kansas made 12 hits up to the end of the fifth.
Kansas was defeated yesterday afternoon on McCook field by the Kansas Aggies by the score of 6 to 4. Busick, who pitched the first five and a half innings, allowed six men to walk. Only one hit was made off of him. The large number of walks and a wild pitch resulted in the four runs of the Aggies during the first five innings. McCarty, who replaced Buzick pitched a steady game. The two scores made while he was pitching were due to an error by Ward on third base in the eighth. The first score Kansas made was in the sixth. Haller knocked a home run in deep center with one man on the bases. Kansas made nine hits to the Aggies' three, and three errors to the Farmers' four, but the K. U. errors were more costly.

LOOKING AHEAD.
Professor Culbertson Points Out Elements of Success.
In his address in chapel Friday, Prof. H. C. Culbertson, president of the College of Emporia, used as his theme three points in the educational method of the greatest teacher the world has ever known: namely, Jesus Christ.
"The first of these," said Professor Culbertson "was the faith of Jesus in man. He mingled with the physically and morally crippled, and expressed belief in what they could do. It was one great cause of his success,and it is this same faith in their followers, that enables the general, statesman or the leader to succeed."
"The second point," he continued, "is that of laying emphasis on the realities of life. In everyday life, it is not the recitation in which we succeed or fail, nor the social engagement that we keep or break that we remember, it is the effect that it has on our character. Every act leaves a mark and all of these are interwoven and make character. We live for the things that endure, not the things that pass away."
In conclusion, Professor Culbertson spoke of the importance of a vision of the future. "To succeed, we must have a clear cut view of what 2we intend to do An engineer looks at a mountain and pictures a tunnel piercing it. As a result he is able to construct it for he knows what he wants. It is this principle of looking ahead that brings success."
CAMPHOR MANUFACTURE.
Professor Havenhill Compares Methods Now in Use.
Prof. L. D. Havenhill of the department of chemistry spoke before the Chemical club Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock in the Chemistry building. His subject was "The Determination of the Amount of Camphor in Pharmaceutical Preparations." He reviewed the various methods which have been used in determining the per cent of camphor particularly in spirits of camphor. One of the methods was his own, which depends on precipitating camphor with dilute hydrocloric acid and dissolving the resulting substance in an immiscible solvent. By measuring the increase of volume the amount of camphor is determined as one cubic centimeter increase gives a gram of camphor.
Most of the camphor, according to the speaker, comes from Japan. Formerly it was sent over in the crude state, but Japan is now also refining the camphor and sending it over in three or four ounce bottles. One of the best grades comes from Germany, and there is also some found in the southern part of Florida.

LAW REIGNED IN LAWRENCE
Anarchists Who Came Looking For Trouble Are Still Looking.
The anarchist descent upon Lawrence was a failure—from the anarchist point of view. Neither Dr. Reitman, Emma Goldman's manager, nor Miss Goldman herself was able to stir up anything that looked like trouble persecution or martyrdom to the cause.
Miss Goldman spoke to the Good Government club Sunday morning. She devoted herself to a criticism of the present system of society. In reply to repeated questioning the anarchist said she was an evolutionist.
"I am enough of a student," she said, "to know that society must develop gradually. Nothing can be done all at once. The program of anarchism is to educate the people above the need of laws and institutions."
Miss Goldman and her manager were treated with consideration in Lawrence. They were given everything they asked for—except trouble. The manager spoke to the Good Government club Thursday night. After his'talk he said to one of the boys, "of course, your having me here to speak will get you into trouble with the faculty." It seemed to come as a blow to him when he was told that the faculty, probably didn't care whether he talked or not. He spoke expectantly about the possibility of being raided by the police at the downtown meetings. But the police stayed away. The anarchists left town with their thirst for trouble still unquenched, but much healed in pocket. The lectures paid them well.

The scores of the individual contests were: Sterling won over Patterson, 1 up; Briggs won over W. S. Johnson, 3 up; Kinnean won over Crawford, 8 up; Boynton won over Raymond, 4 up; Davis won over Gray, 6 up; Newton won over Jones, 6 up; McClung won over Humble, 4 up; Spalding won over Rogers, 1 up; Payne won over Stanauer, 4 up; A. Sterling won over C. W. Young, 10 up. Carroll won over Dan Carlos, 8 up.
At the smoker which was held in the evening following the match, at 1135 Ohio, F. W. Blackmar was put in charge of a committee to look into the matter of building a club house for the club members. M. W. Sterling, who is captain of the club team announced that Topeka had consented to play a match with the local team, but the date had not been set. The game which was to have been played with Leavenworth, has been called off because some of the Fort officers who are the "erack" players have been called to Mexico.
Professor Haworth Discusses Value of Clay.
SKYSCRAPERS POSSIBLE
Prof. E. Haworth in chapel this morning, discussed the establishment and probable growth of a clay testing laboratory and course in ceramics that are being placed on the curriculum in his department. Speaking of the tremendous increase of the use of clays in the building arts, Professor Haworth said. "Clay is practically indestructible, since it is a product of the decomposition of rocks. It has been used thousands of years for various purposes, but the more recent years have witnessed its universal use in the construction of buildings. The application of clay in the form of terra cotta hollow blocks, has resulted in making immense sky-scrapers practicable. These were formerly limited to a comparatively low height because of the great weight of the solid building materials used. Aside from this, its general wide-spread use in the arts is becoming greater."
Machinery is soon to be installed in the University, and the course launched as soon as possible. Co-operation with the other schools will materially assist in making this new course a success.
Three Are Undefeated.
C. H. Campbell, W. Edwards,
and Fritz Thompson are the only undefeated contestants in the handball tournament thus far.
Each of these three men have to play twenty-two games apiece,
thus making sixty-six games to be played before the tournament is finished. On account of the large number of entries the meet has progressed very slowly and it will take three weeks to complete it.
Miss Sage will speak at the Easter vesper service of the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday afternoon at 4:45 in room 110. Election of officers will take place.

A DOUBLE DEBATE TOMORROW NIGHT
K. U DEBATERS TO MEET COLORADO AND OKLAHOMA.
Practice Debate Held Last Night Oklahoma Men Are Confident of Winning.
Tomorrow night two Kansas debating teams will debate the question: "Resolved that the short ballot should be adopted in state, county and municipal elections." One team consisting of A. H. Fast, Clem Parker and A. O. Andrew will debate at Boulder with the University of Colorado. They will support the negative. The other team will debate the affirmative with Oklahoma in the chapel at 8 o'clock. The members of this team are Milton Minor, W. M. Hughes and E. L. Griffin.
Last night the Colorado team and Prof. G. A. Gesell left for Boulder at 11 o'clock. At 7:30 a practice debate was held in chapel between the Colorado and Oklahoma teams. The contest proved a chance to get a line on the strength of the respective men. Both teams were well balanced and had their arguments distributed. The order of the affirmative speakers was: Minor, Hughes, and Griffin. The negative was: Parker, Andrew, and Fast.
The Oklahoma debate Wednesday evening promises to be interesting because of the importance and newness of the short ballot question. The short ballot is so closely connected with the commission form of government that that subject will probably be discussed. Oklahoma debating the negative, will be represented by J. L. Hinshaw, M. O. Ellis, and L. L. Williamson.
The Oklahoma debate is the only one which will be held in Lawrence this year. The student enterprise tickets are good for admission.
The University debating council will entertain the debaters from Oklahoma, with an informal smoker at Vic's parlors after the debate Wednesday evening. The local council has a membership of sixteen. Twenty-five will be present at the smoker including both the Kansas and Missouri debating teams.

THE REGENTS' ANSWER.
The answer of the Board of Regents to the letter sent out last week by Governor Stubbs, is extremely interesting. In the first place the question as to whether the statement by Dean Templin was official or not was answered. Dean Templin never claimed that the statement was official. His remarks were made wholly at his own initiative and were merely intended to be presented for consideration at the next meeting of the regents. Quite naturally the regents disclaimed all responsibility for the statement.
But the regents came out openly in support of the statements that in several instances defective wiring was dangerous to both life and property and immediate repairs were absolutely necessary. Any one who has examined the walls of Snow hall know that they will have to be repaired whether there is an appropriation or not. And it is also stated that any growth of the medical school must come necessarily from the allowances made in 1909.
What does the report of the regents mean? It can mean only that the regents after studying conditions here have found that the editorial in the Graduate Magazine was not too strong in its statement of University needs. It is admitted that in several instances the editorial was rather harsh in its references, but the fact is that the gist of the editorial was sustained by the regents.
It has been said that daily walking up Mt. Oread tends to make students have large feet. Press reports this week say that people
with large feet are prone to insanity. Q. E. D.: The many irrational acts of the students may be explained by the foregoing.
ATTEND THE DEBATE.
Tomorrow evening the debating team will meet the men from Oklahoma. This is the only contest to be held at home this year and the student body ought to turn out and support the debaters. The representatives of Kansas in debate have never received the encouragement that is due them. The debate is tomorrow night and ought to be attended by a great number of students.
The matter seems to be settled, but we never did learn who Dean Templin IS.—Dod Gaston in Topeka Capital.

Emma Goldman did not win a home in Lawrence. A University is generally credited with taking up with anything that is of the freakish order but anarchy did not receive a favorable reception here. Anarchy is more than a freak idea; it bespeaks a diseased mind. Miss Goldman absolutely refused to answer many questions in regard to her propaganda. The reason was because she could not answer them. Anarchy is to be feared because it works on a class that sees only the most obvious points in the doctrine but is not cognizant of the subtle and undermining forces that are set to

FAVORS THE MOVEMENT.
The Kansan is in receipt of a letter from W. S. Robb, superintendent of the Eureka public schools, in which the recent organization of the University alumni is commented upon. The letter follows:
Editor of the Kansan
An Alumnus Writes That There is Need of Organization.
mitor of the Kansai:
In the press notes of recent date
I think an organization of this kind would be an excellent thing. Much could be done by a thorough and an intelligent organization for higher education in Kansas. The needs of the University must be made clear to the citizens of the state, her influence and usefulness must be extended to every activity in the state, and the importance and necessity of high education must be made plain to all. Yours truly,
I saw a statement of a movement to organize the alumni of the University so as to be better able to further its interests and welfare.

K. U. SWIMMERS WERE DEFEATED
KANSAS CITY Y. M.C.A.TOO MUCH FOR LOCALS.
A Return Meet to be Held in Kansas City April 22.
The first swimming meet ever scheduled in Robinson gymnasium, was held last Saturday night, and resulted in the defeat of the University swimming team by the aquatic experts from the Kansas City Y. M. C. A.. The score was 43 to 27. The meet was fast and hotly contested from start to finish, but the superior skill and speed shown by Captain Grantham's exponents of the watery games, were too much for Captain Daniel's followers of the natatorium arts. The stellar events were the 400 foot relay, and the fancy diving contest. In the former encounter, four men were entered from each team but neither side was able to gain an appreciable lead. Haneeok and "Jimmy" Daniels, the last two men, battled fiercely, but both finished at the same time. Form in the air and in striking the water were the determining factors in the diving contest, and a result the slightly better exhibition put up by the spring-board artists of the opposing team gave them first and second places.
Haneock, Granttham, and Seymour were the principal point-getters for the visitors, while Daniels, Brown and Davis carried in the greatest part of the home team's score. Haneock displayed great form in taking first in the under-water swim, 100 yard swim, 50 foot dash, and in typing Daniels the plunge for distance. The captain of the University team swam a great race when he finished first in the 50 yard swim, as did Davis who finished a close second. When Brown splashed in first at the end of the 50 foot back-stroke dash, the watches were snapped at 10:04 an excellent record for that event.
Although the local team made an admirable showing, they seemed to be hampered considerably, by their inability to jump the gun, an art in which their opponents were exceedingly well skilled. A return meet will be held in K.C. April 22nd.
The following are the results of the events:

KANSAS TROUNCES AGGIES
Farrell Pitched Varsity to a 15-3 Victory.
The spectacular pitching of Farrell and the ethereal rambling of Dingee and Dutton, the "Aggie" twirlers, enabled Kansas to walk upon the visitors to the score of 15 to 3. The team went in to win but were unable to score until the third inning, when two K. U. men slipped across the home-plate. In the fifth inning, the Aggie pitcher was so far removed from terra firma, that the locals had little difficulty in anxing 11 runs. A final hit in the ninth was sufficient to raise the score to 15. The visitors managed to get three men across the home pan, making the final score 15 to 3. The line-up;

RADICAL CHANGE IN QUIZ SYSTEM
FACULTY REVISE PRESENT METHOD OF GIVING FINALS
Indiana Plan Adopted With Alterations—More Emphasis will be Placed on Daily Work.
In answer to the demand that has been expressed by the student body for another more complete and modern system of conducting the final examinations at the end of the term, and to the request of the members of the faculty who realize the inefficiency of the present system, the report of the committee that was appointed some three weeks ago for the purpose of investigating the matter and devising a tentative scheme, was adopted by the faculty council at its meeting last night after a few slight alterations had been made in the technical part of the resolutions. The committee that drew up the report consists of Prof. J. W. Young, chairman, Dean Olin Templin of the College, Dean F. O. Marvin of the School of Engineering, Prof. A. S. Olin of the department of Education, and Prof. E. H. S. Bailey of the department of Chemistry.
The scheme that was adopted by the faculty last night incorporates a system of examinations which will greatly resemble the plan that was described by John Hess of the University of Indiana in his letter to the Kansan that was printed in a recent number of the paper. The new system of examinations will go into effect at the end of this semester. A schedule for the examinations has been worked out by the members of the committee and as it was adopted by the faculty last night stands as follows: All classes meeting at 3:30 will be examined on Saturday morning May 27; meeting at 8:00 will be examined on Monday morning May 29; meeting at 1:30 will be examined on Tuesday morning May 30; meeting at 9:00 will be examined on Wednesday morning May 31; meeting at 2:30 will be examined on Wednesday afternoon May 31; meeting at 11:15 will be examined on Thursday morning June 1; meeting at 10:15 will be examined on Friday morning June 2; meeting at 4:30 will be examined on Friday afternoon June 2.
Two hour classes and one hour classes meeting on Tuesday or Thursday will be examined on days mentioned from 10:20 to 12:00 or from 2:30 to 5:30.
Three hour classes and one hour classes meeting on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday will be examined from 8:00 to 10:00 or from 1:30 to 3:30.
Four and five hour classes will be examined from 8:00 to 11:00 or from 1:30 to 4:30.
Laboratory classes will be examined at the time corresponding to the first laboratory period or at the time corresponding to the lecture hour, when such hour exists.
The schedule of 'the examinations will be arranged from semester to semester.
After the technical arrangements for conducting the examinations had been made, the committee handed in an interpretation of the spirit of the purpose of such final examinations. The following resolutions express the views of the committee upon the subject of the importance that should be given to the final examinations.
1. The committee believes that the educational value of a
searching final examination covering the course as a whole is great, provided that it is conducted in a manner calculated to test effectively the scholarship and ability of the student.
2. The present method of conducting final examinations is not effective in this direction, (a) because the continuous periods of time allowed the student in which to collect his thoughts and to put them on paper are so short that he is forced to work hurriedly and under a strain, a condition in which he is not likely to do himself justice; and (b) because the present method results in a crowding of several examinations in different subjects into the same day, a condition true especially of the last two days of the semester.
3. It is not the sense of the committee that this recommendation should give undue weight to the results of final examination. The committee believes that in determining the grade of a student his work from day to day in the class room and laboratory should be given greater weight than the result of the final examination. In particular the committee believes that the student must not be led to think that "cramming" for the final examination can make up for lack of application during the semester. Such a feeling on the part of the student could be effectively prevented by excluding from the examination any student whose work throughout the semester has not been up to a minimum standard.
WILL RUN AT DES MOINES
First Tryout of Contestants Was Held Yesterday.
The preliminary try-outs for the relay carnival to be held by Drake University at Des Moines on April 22, was held yesterday afternoon on McCook field. A team of fourteen or sixteen men will make the trip to Des Moines to take part in this meet for the University. The four events that the Jayhawker team will enter are the four mile, two mile, mile, and the half mile relays. The final try-outs for the team that will enter the meet will be held on McCook field next Tuesday afternoon and the coach expects all the men who intend to try for the squad to report then.
The result of the try-out yesterday afternoon is not encouraging for the prospects of the Kansas team. Few men entered the races and the time that was made does not promise great things for the Jayhawker runners in the relay events.
Don Davis won his heat of the 220-yard dash and Schwab won the second heat of the same distance. Black took first place in the only heat of the quarter mile race that was run. Kraus won the half mile from McMillan.
Coach Hamilton announces that the final try-out for the Des Moines relay carnival will be held at 4:30 Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons next week. Contestants for the mile and half mile should report to him on Tuesday, and the 220 yard men and quarter milers on Wednesday afternoon.

On the hill the buildings damaged were the gymnasium, Marvin hall, and Haworth hall. Windows were broken in all three of these buildings and the floors were soaked by water. A trap-door on the top of the gymnasium was also torn off. The gasoline house at the repair shops was overturned.
When the roof was torn from the Eldridge house, the room and belongings of J. E. Boodin, professor of philosophy at the University, and of Ned Iles, a senior in the College, were drenched by the rain. Valuable trees in the yard of Dean J. W. Green at 637 Tennessee St, were damaged by the twisting wind. Property near the home of Robert Johnson, a senior in the College, at 639 Tennessee street, was destroyed by the storm. The roof was taken from the home of Adrienne Atkinson a freshman in the College, at 646 Louisiana street. Property on the premises of Dean Olin Templit—in the west part of town was also damaged by the tornado.
MID WEEK DATES BARRED
Sororities Also Place Ban on Ice Cream.
The rule has finally been agreed to by the four sororities at the university, that no sorority girls shall have a week night date for the remainder of the school year. The action against the week night dates was taken last year but it has been broken so consistently this year that a further understanding was found necessary.
There will be but one exception to the law prohibiting the dates. The men may accompany their friends of the other sex back and forth from the library any evening in the week. That this privilege may not be abused a motion was passed to the effect that refreshments during the evening would have to be obtained at some place other than the ice cream parlors now in popular favor.
Dr. M. T. Sudler was in Clay Center yesterday where he administered serum to two children who had contracted infantile paralysis. He performed the operation himself and instructed the local physicians in the use of the serum as the city is threatened with an epidemic of the disease.
A meeting of the Men's Student Council is to be held immediately after the holidays to draw up rules to regulate the voting at the election of the Athletic board. The ballot will be the Australian form.

YELLOW PERIL AGAIN
C. W. German Believes Russia Will Conquer China.
"The prevention of the absorption of China by the Russian Empire, is one of the greatest problems of the 20th century," said C. W. German, of Kansas City, in his chapel address this morning. "If Russia is permitted to take over China, she will be united with a country that will enable her to control the Pacific ocean, the majority of the world's commerce and to become a menace to the well-being of the world at large."
The speaker showed clearly the characteristics of the Chinese collectively and individually. "The Chinese civilization extends back, ages before the time of the Anglo-Saxon. They had civil service, centuries before Abraham gave his blessing to Meliseidech. The Chinaman hates haste, considers treachery a virtue, lies rather than offends, is incapable of gratitude, and is the supreme hypoerite of all ages. The Chinese have no public spirit, do everything opposite to the way other people do it, and possess the characteristics of Judas Isariot and Annanias, without the power of suicide of the former and the strong character of the latter. The Russian is very much like the Chinaman, and as a result the yellow man will sink into the embrace of Russia, rather than submit to the aggressive man of the west, whom he abhors."
"It is here that the danger lies," he continued, "for in uniting with these people an empire would be formed that would contain one-half the population of the world, and more than half of the inhabitable territory of the earth."
The speaker reviewed the possible uniting of the powers against such an alliance. In speaking of the fear of the yellow peril, in the United States, he said, "We undully dread the yellow peril, for even though the United States may be forced to fight the battle alone, the people of this nation with their virile Anglo-Saxon blood will be entirely able to cope with the situation. The struggle between the far east and the far west, is inevitable, and it is our country that will have to bear the brunt of the battle."
Leonard-Leslie.
Miss Grace Leslie and Mr. Clifford Leonard were married at the Methodist church last Friday evening at 8:00 p. m., the Rev. H. E. Wolf, officiating. The brides-mails were: Esther Evans, Agnes Evans, Amarette Weaver, Mary Hutchinson and Bertha Likens.
Ted Cooke, Fred Cowles Frank Bangs and Hyden Eaton acted as best men. After the ceremony the couple left for Oklahoma City, where they will make their home. Among the visitors at the Pi Phi house were Lillian Abram, Ruth and Marion Mervine, and Bertha Lukens. The bride is a emuber of the Pi Beta Phi sorority and the groom is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
Crumbine in Conference.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, of Topka who was recently elected consulting head of the University School of Medicine at Rosedale, was at the University yesterday in conference with Chancellor Strong. They discussed among other things the care of crippled children in one ward of the hospital by the State Board of Health and further enlargement of the work to be done by the hospitals in the future.
KANSAS WON AND LOST IN DEBATE
COLORADO GETS DECISION
—SOONERS ARE DEFEATED
Warrensburg and Ottawa Send Debating Teams to Hear Contest. Short Ballot Favored.
Kansas won and lost last night in the double debate which was held with Oklahoma and Colorado. The team which debated with Oklahoma in the chapel gained the decision of the judges by a vote of 2 to 1. This team whose members are Milton Minor, W. M. Hughes and E. L. Griffin presented the affirmative side of the question: "Resolved that the short ballot should be adopted in state, county, and municipal elections." The team which lost at Boulder on the negative of the same subject has as its members A. H. Fast, Clem Parker, and A. O. Andrew.
The debate with Oklahoma was well attended by the students considering the bad weather. The arguments were hotly contested by both sides and the result was in doubt until Kansas gave the rebuttal speeches. This part of the debate was interesting because of the fact that these arguments were given impromptu. The rebuttal speech of Minor for Kansas was the strongest speech of the evening. The most forceful talker for Oklahoma was I. L. Williamson.
The three main arguments presented by Kansas to show that the short ballot should be adopted were; the long ballot causes unintelligent voting, greater administrative efficiency would be secured with the short ballot and that the short ballot has proved successful in practice. Oklahoma's contentions against the short ballot were that it is undemocratic, would cause machine control of politics and that it has failed in practice. The judges were Talbot of Kansas City, Prof. M. O. Markham and Professor Parmenter of Baker.
After the debate the Debating council entertained the Oklahoma debaters with a smoker at Vic's. Besides J. L. Hinsaw, M. O. Ellis and I. L. Williamson, of the Oklahoma team, J. R. Shields, Leland Jenks, and Sam Marsh of the Ottawa team and Murray Hill, who is teaching in the Missouri State Normal at Warrensburg and the Warrenburg debaters, Irving Raines, E. W. Satterfield and Howard Mitchell and the judges were present. The University band and the Glee club helped furnish entertainment for the students last

The Barkdull Recital.
Charles Barkdull, a senior in the School of Fine Arts gave a voice recital at North College Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Barkdull rendered all his selections in a clear, rich voice of fine quality, making his interpretations easily understood. While visiting in Florence, Italy with Professor Hubach last summer, Barkdull studied under Madame Barraceia, of that city, for a short time. Blanche Barkdull, his sister, played all the accompaniments at the recital. She will travel in Europe with her brother this summer.

Aside from the benefit that is bound to come to the University because of the organization of the alumni, the meeting in Kansas City last Saturday evening presages a closer union among the state schools that has been long needed.
FOR GREAT STATE SCHOOLS
For years it has been a common opinion that graduates from the various state schools were so devoted to their respective schools that there could be no association with the graduates of other colleges. If the plan of the alumni is followed out there will be a cooperation among the state alumni that will do much toward clearing any of the difficulties that may come in regard to the policy or to the attitude of each school. The meeting in Kansas City was the beginning of a new era in state institutional progress and as soon as the alumni organization gets upon a working basis we may expect to see a systematic and powerful influence brought to bear upon the regulation of our state schools. It is to be hoped that the alumni of the State Agricultural college and of the State Normal will cooperate in this movement. It can mean only good for the schools from which they came.
By the refusal of "Uncle Jimmy" Green to become again a candidate for president of the Athletic Board, the University is losing the services of a man who has been perhaps the greatest factor for clean athletics that the school has ever known. During his tenure of office many perplexing questions regarding athletic
relations with other colleges and the enforcement of certain rules within our own athletic circles have been considered and Dean Green has always been the champion of a high grade of school athletics.
OUGHT TO HAVE PETITIONS
The Athletic Board ought to be subjected to the same regulations by which the Student Council is governed. The Athletic Board occupies a distinctive and important position in regard to one of the most vital questions of the student body namely, the governing of University athletic relations. The men who are on this board determine to a large extent the attitude of the school upon the question of clean athletics.
There is no doubt but that by the present system of caucus nomination we get good men, but there is no reason why we should not compel each man who wishes to be on the Board to have a petition circulated similar to those used by candidates for the Student Council. At the least it creates a greater degree of responsibility on the members and will probably add an element of interest that will work for the betterment. The plan could hardly be adopted this year but there is no reason why its adoption should not be urged for next year.
OFF FOR SALINA
Agnes Conrad a sophmore in the College, Fred E. Lee, a senior in the College and H. C. Herman, secretary of the university Y. M. C. A., left today for Salina. They are delegates to the convention of the Kansas Student Volunteer Union. The convention will be held at the Kansas Wesleyan University during the Easter holidays.
Student Volunteers Will Hold State Convention There.
Mr. Lee has been president of the union for the past year. He was elected at the convention that was held at the university last year during the spring holidays.

KRESS 5-10 AND 25 CENT STORE
Two Kinds of Guarantee
---
It is not so very long ago that when you passed your money across a counter in the average store the deal was closed. A sale was a sale. We have always done our merchandising on a different plan—a plan in which the customer's satisfaction was the principal thing.
For Example: Every pair of Hosiery we sell-no matter how high or low the price-is guaranteed to wear to your full satisfaction or it will be replaced with new.
FOI EXAMPLE, AGAIN: We guarantee the price of everything we sell to be as low as or lower than the same article or pattern can be bought anywhere else. If in a day, a week or a month later you find the same thing lower elsewhere, make a claim upon us and it will be allowed at once.
Such guarantees as these make buying at this Store very safe indeed. They illustrate as well as the written words can do it the attitude which this Store has towards its patrons.
PLAY GOLF WITH TOPEKA
Oread Club Will Engage in Out of-Town Contest Saturday.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey of the department of Chemistry will lecture on "Cure for Food Adulteration" before the Bison high school, Friday night.

FIVE MEDICS SUCCESSFUL
Out of 105 Applicants Kansa Lands Five.
The Medical school of the University of Kansas scored a remarkable success in an examination of 105 applicants for sixteen internships, at the Kansas City General Hospital, five seniors in the Rosedale school were successful in passing the examinations. The five men are: Frank R. Teachnor, J. R. Van Atta, R.W. Hissem, H.G. Norton, G.E. Knappenberger. Among their competitors were seniors representing John Hopkins University, Pennsylvania University, Northwestern University, Texas State University, Physicians & Surgeons College, of Chicago, Illinois State University, University Medical College of Kansas City, and several others.
In winning five of the sixteen positions, Kansas tied with Pennsylvania, for first place in the number of successful candidates. The fact that the Kansans were able to surpass the competing graduates of some of the foremost medical schools in the country, shows conclusively, the high and efficient standards of practice and method maintained by the Kansas school.
The internships are held for one year. Aside from offering opportunity for practical and educational work, a substantial salary is paid the holder.
TO EXPLORE THE KAW.
Five Students to Pass Vacation on River.

The men will start Thursday evening in two canoes, and will make their first stop at Cameron's bluces. They intend to make Topeka by Saturday morning, and during the day will make camp somewhere beyond that city. They will start on the return trip Sunday. They expect to do a good deal of rowing at night as it is now moonlight in the evening. A stock of provisions consisting of beans, canned meats, coffee, etc., has been laid in, and guns will be taken along to procure fresh meat. Van den Broek, who is one of the party will do the cooking. The names of the men who will the trip are: Van den

HELPFUL HEN IS INTELLIGENT ALSO
COMMON THEORY CONCERN ING CHICKENS, DISPROVED
Psychological Student Has Shown by Experiment That Barn Fowls Can Reason.
That a chicken has a mind, memory, individual characteristics, and the power to distinguish grades of color, was successfully shown by Frank E. Wells, a junior in the College, yesterday afternoon at the psychology laboratory. He put his juvenile fowls through a series of mazes, trip-doors, and tunnels, that would have puzzled a man, bad he been in a comparatively similar position. In fact the chickens may be said to have qualified for a diploma, for they passed their quizzes of prison breaking, with exeptional grades.
Mr. Wells commenced his experiments March 15th, when the chicks were but a few hours old, and has kept a complete record of the progress of each one in acquiring new habits and methods of escape. "If ability to forget, proves the presence of the power of memory, then these birds have a memory," said Wells. "I found that as they grew older they would remember clearer and longer. If they accidentally discovered a series of actions that would lead them from the labyrinth of card-board passages, or open a door that they might join their mates, a number of superfluous moves were generally acquired at the same time. They would slowly but surely drop these."
Another interesting fact brought out was, that the chicken does not care for a crowd, yet he abhors being alone. The presence of one of his kind is sufficient to keep him quiet.
By placing certain colors over little triggers, upon which the bird must jump in order to be released, he found that the chicks chose a color, and finding that they could escape by jumping on the trigger immediately beneath that color, would invariably do so, regardless of the location of the trigger. Speaking of the performance of one of his fowls, in this respect, Wells continued, "It is a question, as to whether the chicken distinguishes color or merely grades or intensity. Indications point toward the latter for he invariably hesitates between red and blue, due no doubt to the fact that these colors are of about the same grade."
In all of his experiments he observed that assisting a chick in the acquiring of an action, made practically no impression of the action on the bird's memory, merely causing him to stand and "yeep," absolutely refusing to make any attempt to escape.
In conclusion Wells said, "If behavior requirements are answered as they undoubtedly are in this case, then we may say that a chicken has a mind, memory and ability to distinguish color grades."
RALPH BOWERS ELECTED.
Kansas City Shot Putter to Lead Freshmen.
Ralph Bowers, a freshman in the engineering school, was elected captain of the freshman track team at the meeting of the class Monday noon in the chapel. Bowers, who is a weight man, has been working out in the gym all year and has developed into a shot putter who will strengthen the Varsity next year. He weighs over 200 pounds and is six feet in height.
The freshmen have some promising material and now that they have a captain should develop a good team for the inter-class track meet. Hendrickson in the hurdles and weights, and Bowers in the weights are as good men as any on the Varsity and will probably add materially to the freshmen score.
THE LURE OF THE CITY
Superintendent of Helping Hand
Tells His Experiences..
Spend your Easter vacation at the Hiawatha.
The Y. M. C. A. meeting was held last evening under difficulties. The electric lights burned out, the storm made it difficult to hear, and through a misunderstanding the meeting started half an hour late. The speaker was E T. Brigham, superintendent of the Helping Hand Institute. His subject was "The Lure of the City."
"All classes of people," according to the speaker, "are drawn to the city because they suppose that it gives them a better opportunity of getting a living. Some of these make good but the larger number fail. The young man who is out of work in the small town and without means, boards a freight and goes to the city, expecting to find work. On arrival he is a tramp, a social outeast, and unknown; although he may have been respected in his home town. In Kansas City he naturally goes to the North End, the bottoms of the city, where the saloon is one of the chief places of attraction. Until the last few years the homeless men and tramps could find lodging at night in the saloon and sleep on the floor. Since the midnight closing ordinance has gone into effect this is no longer allowed. Consequently such institutions as the Helping Hand have been founded.
"The Helping Hand Institute has accommodations for seven hundred lodgers. As there are some men who make a practice of trying to get free lodging, a work test must be performed before lodging is given. Even though a man comes in at ten in the evening, he is sent down in the basement to crack rock. After having cracked a certain amount he takes a good bath and during the night his clothes are fumigated and given a thorough cleaning.
cleaning.
"Another phase of the work is the free employment bureau. Here a record is kept of the work that each man does when he is given employment. This record often helps prove the innocence of homeless men who, are accused of stealing by hysterical women in whose homes they are working, when in reality the woman has merely misplaced the supposedly stolen article. It also gives the best men an opportunity of rising in their trade. The Helping Hand institute's employment bureau has been so successful that the city is now partially supporting it. When work from outside firms can not be obtained, the most needy men are sent to the institute's rock pile. There they crush rock at sixty cents a cubic yard. In spite of the fact that machinery can crush rock at a cost of ten cents a cubic yard, the institute is on such a good business basis that under favorable conditions no money is lost on this phase of the work.
"Finally there is the religious side. Many men are led to change their view of life and as a result can fill more responsible positions."

FEW MEN OUT TO FIRST PRACTICE
INDIVIDUAL COACHING TO BE FEATURE THIS YEAR.
Athletic Association Offers Silver Loving Cup as Prize to Best Kicker.
A dozen men were out for spring football practice Tuesday afternoon. Owing to the windy weather yesterday, no practice was held. However, the men spent their time checking out their suits. Manager Lansdon said there would be twenty-five men out Tuesday at the first practice after the Easter vacation.
One of the features of the spring practice will be the individual coaching. Consequently there will be scarcely any serimage until the end of the season. Until then the men will practice falling on the ball, kicking, and the forward pass. At the end of the season there will be a contest for the best all around kicker. A silver loving cup has been offered as a prize by the Athletic Association and the name of the winner will be engraved upon it. The contest will include drop kicking, punting, and place kicking. The onside kick will not be allowed in the contest.
Practice will end with a game between two teams. Captain Ammons will lead one of the two teams. Cady Daniels, the captain of the freshman football team last fall, will be the captain of the other team.
HARRY KEMP TO LEAVE.
Will Visit in Europe Next Summer.
According to Harry Kemp the University of Kansas is going to lose its "tramp poet" about May 10. At that time Harry says he expects to leave school and hibernate to some secluded spot on the globe where for 30 days he will engage in some occupation, which he is keeping secret. All attempts to find out where Kemp will spend this month's seclusion have failed. The only indication of its whereabouts is that it will not be in the vicinity of Lawrence.
After spending the month away from the "busy haunts of men," the only tramp poet the University has ever had will take an extensive trip on the Great Lakes. The latter part of hte summer will be occupied in writing poetry at a summer resort in Delaware in the Chesapeake bay region. A lover of poetry has asked Kemp to be a visitor at a private camp there as long as the poet sees fit.
The object of all his plans is to gain experience and material for the composing of a play next year. When he returns from Europe he expects to start the plot. The idea of the play will be inspired by the tramp's experience while making his journey.
TO STUDY SHAKSPERE
The termination of all of Harry's plans will be in a trip to Europe next fall. He will "bum" his way over on a cattle ship and travel through each of the European countries before returning to America and Lawrence.
University Extension Course at Horton Well Supported.
Fowler Shops will close down at 5 o'clock this afternoon and will not be open to students until Tuesday, of next week.
A meeting was held in Horton April 3, to discuss the organization of the University Extension course in that city. It was decided to have Professor Dunlap of the English department, give six lectures on Shakspere. The expense of the course will be met by subscription, so the more members the less expense per capita. Nearly 100 persons will enter the course.

EDITH PINNEY HONORED
K. U. Alumna Granted a European Fellowship.
Word has recently been received by Prof. C. E. McClung of the appointment of Miss Edith Pinney of Wilson, a former student in the department of Zoology, to the President Thomas European Fellowship, of Bryn Mawr college. The provisions of the fellowship declare that the recipient can choose any of the European Universities desirable in which to study and Miss Pinney will take up her work next year.
BUY CLAY TESTER.
This year Miss Pinney has been carrying work in the department of Zoology at Bryn Mawr college as a departmental fellow and she was selected from the entire school for the honor of the European Fellowship. Last year Miss Pinney worked here with Doctor McClung in the department of Zoology and she prepared a paper that was a re-study of the material over which a controversy has been waged between Professor Wilson of Columbia University and several other prominent scientists of New York. This paper will be published in one of the current reviews in a short time. It has received the commendation of some of the greatest scientists in the United States.
$1400 Machine Will be Installed Soon.
The department of mining and geology has placed an order with the American Clay Machinery of Bucyrus, Ohio, for a complete clay testing machine. The entire apparatus will be installed by September 1. The machine, which is equipped to handle any size or quantity of clay, will cost $1400.
When the machine is placed in the University, clay from all parts of the state will be tested. It is necessary to put all clay through an examination before it can be placed in a building with safety.

KUPFER VS. PHILLIPS
Senior Has Brought Suit Against Freshman.
One of the results of the rigid enforcement of the freshman cap rule last week is a case in moot court of assault and battery in the Law school. The plaintiff is Louis Kupfer, a senior law and the defendant is Homer Phillips, a junior law. The case will be tried in moot court after the Easter holidays.
The facts of the case are that Phillips assaulted Kupfer one day last week when the latter was trying to enforce the rule that all freshmen wear the official lid. Phillip's refusal to don the cap and his actions toward the upper-classmen caused him to be severely paddled at the time. Kupfer however was not satisfied and has brought action against his attacker.
A paddling will be administered to the losing man by the members of the jury, who will be picked from the three law classes. Kupfer during chapel this morning gained the names of his witnesses. He has chosen as his attorneys Leonard Hamner and A. O. Andrew, both senior laws. Philips has decided that Clem Parker will be one of the counsel for the defense. He will chose another attorney soon. The jury will be empanelled after the holidays.
Charles Rhodes, who was graduated from the College in 190, visited at the University today. Mr. Rhodes formerly travelled for the Allyn Bacon Co., of Chicago Recently, he has started in business at Kansas City.
Ohio State will hold a mock auction sale next week with real cattle and horses, and prizes for the best auctioneer and the most consistent bidder will be awarded.

FRESHMEN ARE RIGHT.
Varsity Forced to Hustle to Beat Tyros.
The varsity baseball team has had its hands full in the practice games the past week on McCook field with the freshman nine. Hal Harlan presented each of his athletes with a suit the first part of the week and the result has been that the first year men have played the 'varsity squad to a standstill. A majority of the games played recently have been won by the freshmen.
Zabel and Walker, the freshman twirlers, have held the varsity batters down to a small number of hits. All of the freshmen are fielding the ball well and Campbell, catcher, is holding the speedy pitchers with improved form. The batting averages of the freshmen have been as good if not better than the varsity men during the practice games. Delaney, first base, and Wilson, third base are continuing to lead the freshmen hitters.
The freshmen have been working out every afternoon for the past month and now that the squad has been cut down are playing a good brand of ball. A trip is being planned for the team later in the spring.
IOWANS WILL TAKE TRIP
Scientists to go to Laysan For Specimens.
Iowa City, Ia., April 13.—Today saw the departure of the most important scientific expedition ever sent out by the State University of Iowa. The expedition consists of a party of four, headed by Prof. Homer D. Dill. The objective point is the Layson Island, located 800 miles southwest of the Hawaiian group. The party will remain on the island three months collecting scientific material relative to the study of bird life.
The material secured will be brought to the university, mounted and assembled into a realistic production or cyclorama of the scene of Laysan. More than 400 mounted birds will be used in the reproduction, with countless others painted on the scenery forming the background. The undertaking is believed to be the largest and most important of its kind ever attempted by any American educational institution.
The old darky was probably the worst scared man in town and told his story to all who would stop to listen to him.
One of the interesting features of last nights wind storm was the story told by an old colored man who was standing in the post office trembling with either excitement or fear or both at what had just happened in his presence a few minutes before.
A Scared Darky
"I was standing there talking to a little boy when all at once a big gust of wind picked him up and carried him clear over my head and out of sight," said the old man, it being pitch dark during the storm only at those intervals when flashes of lightning lit up the sky. "I went and got a lantern and started out to hunt for him but I couldn't find him anywhere."
SOPHOMORE PAN-HELLENIC
The sophomore Pan-Hellenie gave an informal dancing party in Fraternal Aid hall last Saturday evening. Seventy-five couples attended and enjoyed an eighteen dance program. The music was played by Haley's orchestra of Kansas City. Light refreshments consisting of frozen punch and cake were served throughout the evening.
This is the first dance to be given by the sophomore Pan-Hellenic but it will probably be made an annual affair.
RULES EXCLUDE FRESHMEN
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Varsity Tennis Now Closed to First Year Men.
Owing to the fact that tennis has been placed upon the same standing as the other athletic sports in the university, the Athletic board has ruled that no freshman shall represent Kansas this year in tennis. As three of the squad, which was to play a tournament for places on the team are freshmen, they will be barred from participation this year. The freshmen who made the squad are Wilson, Allen, and Uhrlaub. The squad which remains consists of Nees, Rohrer, Richardson, Hawes, and Motz.
Next week the Kansas tennis team will meet Baker at Baldwin. The men have been handicapped this year on account of the poor condition of the two tennis courts, which the University possesses. Almost all of the practicing this spring has been done in the gymnasium as the ground of the out-door courts is so rough that the balls can not be judged by the players.

LOST A CANOE
Wind Carried Craft Away From Pleasure Seekers.
Louis R. Wilhelm, a junior Law and Horace E. Steele, a special in the Engineering school suffered the loss of a canoe yesterday afternoon and as a result were forced to swim to the shore from the little island, on which they were maroooed.
They had braved the rolling waves of the turbulent Kaw, and had landed safely on the little island, about a mile up the river. After drawing the boat upon the bank, they left it, when without warning, a gust of wind picked up the frail barque, and carried it along as though it were paper. Having no other means of leaving the island, the two were forced to swim. The canoe was valued at about $60.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 1911
COMPLETE PLANS FOR JUNIOR PROM
ANNUAL AFFAIR SHOULD BE WORTH WHILE.
No More Dates Received After Next Monday—Tickets May be Had at Check Stand.
Several unique features will be presented at the Junior Prom this year according to the statement made this morning by the managers of the annual affair. The principal innovation will be the change in the time for starting the Prom since it will begin at 6 p.m. A half holiday has been granted, and the Missouri-Kansas baseball game will start at 2:30 so that every one will have ample time, in which to prepare for the evening. The committee announces that any one coming in after 6:15, will not be seated until after the first act of the farce. This rule will not be waived under any condition. Another strict ruling is, that refreshments will not be served to couples, at any time other than that indicated on their cards.
The prom managers announce that arrangements have been made with the street car company for service to and from the gymnasium. This follows the decision of the junior girls to do away with cabs and flowers. The farce under the direction of Miss Mossler gives promise of being one of the best yet given. Robert E. Lee, chairman of the decoration committee, announces that Italian effects will predominate in the decorations. Ralph Johnson chairman of the refreshment committee, says for the "eats" that luncheon will be a two course affair, consisting of substantial food and that it will be served in liberal portions.
After leaving the farce, the dancers will proceed to the second floor and pass down the receiving line. Arch McKinnon, president, Cleve Swenson vice-president, Glendale Griffiths, secretary, William Moore, treasurer of the junior class, Donald McKay and Roscoe Redmond, prom managers, will be on the receiving line. The Grand March will be led by Arch McKinnon. There will be 24 dances, including several feature dances. Harry Kelley's nine piece orchestra of Kansas City will furnish the music.
The prom managers will be at the check stand next Monday and Tuesday, April 24th and 25th, to exchange tickets of admission to the prom., for the receipts issued to Juniors and all Seniors who are entitled to admission.
Carleton Armsby, Don Davis, Tom DeForest, Ray Hoskins Bertha Mix, Nina Pilkenton, Mac Rossman, Elsie Smith, Winifred Fisher and George Beezley, member soft the Invitation Committee, will be at the check stand to receive dates. Will Moore, chairman of the financial committee, will also be at the check-stand this week to receive dates and give receipts. No dates will be received after Monday, April 24th and accordingly all who intend to go to the prom but who have not yet made their dates should hand them in to the committee at once
REALISM IN LITERATURE
Keynote of Today's Writings.
Says Prof. Sturtevant.
"Realism is the prevailing idea in the literature of today," said Prof. A. M. Sturtevant of the department of German in his chapel talk this morning. "Norway," he continued "now leads the rest of the world in this realm of literature. Formerly her literature was influenced largely by Germany. The change is due to the great works of Henrik Isben, who lived from 1828 to 1906, and Bjornson who was born in 1832 and who died only last year at the age of seventy-eight."
"Norway also is more democratic than the United States which is supposed to be the most democratic country in the world. Norway's king is a mere figure head and does not have as many powers as our president. Norway has only one house to conduct its affairs and the members are elected by the direct vote of the people. There is also universal suffrage and last summer the first woman took her place in their Parliament.
Bjorson made natural life vivid, and though a great poet had the failing of overdrawing his writings and making them border on caricature. He has marked ability in idealizing Americans whom he especially admired. As a realist he has the highest degree of perfection.
"Isben had great ability as a dramatist and as a critic. He could also sympathize with people as he was well known for his humanity. He claimed to be a pessimist in not believing in the permanence of men's accomplishments but claimed to be an optimist in the power of the people to transmit and develop these idle."
Prof. Sturtevant also read some of the poetry of these two literary men.
EX-CHAPLAIN WILL TALK
"A Challenge to Men" Thursday Night.
H. Percy Silver, of Topeka, will address the regular weekly meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association to be held Thursday evening at 6:45 o'clock in Meyers hall. His subject will be "A Challenge to Men." Mr. Silver is ex-chaplain of the United States army and will be sure to give an interesting talk.
One hundred and twenty-five men has been the average attendance at the Thursday evening meetings, except last Wednesday when the storm considerably lessened this number. The religious meetings committee is making a special campaign to get men to come and every fellow is invited. The addition now being built will furnish a room with a seating capacity of five hundred and it is the object of the association to get a regular attendance of as near that size as possible.
FIVE LECTURES ON 20TH CENTURY CITY
John Byron Power, a senior in the School of Law has received word that he passed the state embalmers examination, which he took at Topeka April 14th. Mr. Power will not enter the undertaking business, although he has qualified.
DR. CHARLES ZUEBLIN WILL
LECTURE NEXT WEEK.
Some Phase of the Modern American City Will be Treated Each Day.
"The Twentieth Century City" is the general subject of a series of five lectures which will be given in the University chapel next week by Dr. Charles Zueblin, of Boston. Dr.Zueblin's visit to the University will be one of the most important events of the school year and his lectures are awaited with interest by faculty and students.
The lectures will begin Monday afternoon and will continue through the school week. They will be given at 4:30 in the afternoon, with the exception of the Friday lecture which will begin at 4 o'clock on account of the junior prom.
Dr. Zueblin terms this series of lectures "an account of the progress of the American city in the last two decades, which have been more important than the preceding centuries." The titles of the lectures and the days on which they will be given follow:
Monday afternoon, "The New Civic Spirit."
Tuesday afternoon, "The training of the Citizen."
Wednesday afternoon, "The Making of the City."
Thursday afternoon, "The Ad ministration of the City."
Friday afternoon, "The Life of the Citizen."
Dr. Zueblin has had a long career as an educator and publicist. He was for a long time professor of sociology at the University of Chicago. He has served as director of many civic enterprises in Chicago and Boston and is the author of many studies in American democracy.
THREE STUDENTS TRAVEL
Zoologists to Leave For West in a Week.
Three men who have been doing special work in the department of Zoology will do work this summer that is connected with their study.
Alex Wetmore will leave for Seattle, Washington, next week from which place he will go to Alaska to join the United States Biological Survey. Dallas Hanna who recently left the University to go to Washington, D.C., will work in Alaska in connection with the United States Bureau of Fisheries. E. C. Johnston of the University will work on the United States Fish Boat Albatross within the next week. He will leave San Francisco to take up his duties on that boat this week.
"Rusty" Russel Engaged.
The engagement of George Russell, a Senior Engineer, and manager of the "Jayhawker," and Miss Hazel Jones of Topeka, has been announced. The wedding will take place sometime next fall. Miss Jones will spend the summer in Goodman, Mo., with her parents, and will be married a short time after her return.
MAY NEED MORE TROOPS
University K. U. G. Will go at Next Call.
William Howard Taft president of the United States of America issued an order this morning to the effect that the army stationed on the Mexican frontier should cross the line and commence operations against the Mexicans if another non-combatant, American should be killed. Accompanying the order was one that 78,000 more troops be mustered into the service of the Unified States.
The fact that non-combatant Americans have been killed daily by the Mexicans on both sides of the trouble points to the idea that war may begin at any moment. It it not likely that the order which has been sent out from the War department at Washington will be known by any per cent of the Mexicans and the chances are that some American not connected with the strife will be killed.
The results which would arise if the American army should invade Mexico can only be imagined. Should 78,000 troops be mustered to the frontier it is highly probable that the company of the National Guards at Kansas University will be sent to the front Captain C. R. Shifler when interviewed at 3 o'clock this afternoon had not received any word from his superior officer, General Martin of Topeka but concerning the order said: "The only orders I have received laterly are to the effect that our company be in readiness to move at an instant's notice. We have obeyed this order and will be able to leave in a few hours if such word is received from Washington."
WILL LEASE HOUSE
Girls' Dormitory Will be Started Next Year.
The committee which is pushing the plan for a girls dormitory next year held a meeting last Thursday at which a decision was made concerning the leasing of a house for the dormitory. A definite location has not been made but it is probable that the home will be in close proximity with the university buildings.
The interest that was shown at the meeting of the women showed that the prospects for the dormitory are bright. An understanding was reached that the clique idea which might be connected with the proposition was to be done away with. The girl's dormitory if successful will be absolutely open to the public.
As the house for next year will be leased the proposition of financing the dormitory has been eliminated. The house is to support itself and only such a fee will be placed upon the girls as is necessary to defray the actual expenses.
Student Council Announcement The Men's Student Council will meet this evening at 8:15 o'clock in room 110, Fraser hall.
Chancellor Strong will leave for Hutchinson tomorrow where he will speak before the Y. M. C. A. A new $75,000 building has just been completed and the exercises tomorrow will be in celebration of the event.

The speaker for the occasion has not been secured. At 12 o'clock the class luncheon will be served on the campus and will be under the supervision of the University Y. W. C. A. At 12:30 o'clock there will be a band concert to be followed at 1:30 by a meeting of the Alumni association in the chapel.

NEW QUIZ SYSTEM
It seems as if the faculty has just awakened to the realization that our old methods of conducting quizzes were not conducive to a high standard of work nor did they obtain the greatest efficiency from the student body. Quiz week in days past has been a horrid nightmare for the fellow who neglected his work and has been tolerated as a necessary evil by the ones who maintained a high grade of work during the term. Quiz week as it was resolved itself into a mental Marathon in which the student who had the most versatile mind was able to meet the quizzes as they came in rapid succession better than the one with the slower working intellect.
Quizzes when perfectly regulated seem to call for an unnecessary expenditure of energy. There seems, however, to be no other way by which the status of a student may be obtained. The change recently adopted by the faculty council will provide for distribution of time in proportion to the hours of the subject. The fact that one quiz of several hours in one subject, is given will probably recommend itself to the student body. At any rate any change will be acceptable. The system in vogue in the past was abominable.
UNIVERSITY DEBATE.
Kansas has won and lost in debate. At Lawrence the Oklahomaans were defeated and at Colorado our representatives lost by a close score. The inclementy of the weather prohibited a large
attendance at the debate here, but even in view of this there was a fair sized crowd. This year the student body showed more interest in debate than it has for many years. Our team showed good training and were a credit to the school.
Reports from the debate at Boulder, Colorado, show that our debaters made a splendid fight for first honors and lost by the score of 2 to 1.
Missouri is the only remaining school that the debaters will meet this year. We have not won from the Tigers in seven years and it is time that we show our superiority over the Tigers on the platform as well as on the football field.
Those members of the faculty who believe that more good comes from defeat than victory, doubtless are afforded ample consolation in the result of the golf match played at Topeka last Saturday. The Mt. Orcad club lost 32 out of a possible 33 points.
WELCOME THE COMMISSION.
The Topeka Capital says that at the last session of the Legislature, when appropriations for education were being discussed, it was reported that there were nearly as many professors as students in certain departments at the University. It is to be feared that the powers at Topeka acted to readily upon such misinformation as the foregoing. Probably when the truth is known there will be less shaking of the big stick over the University from the executive mansion. The new commission of
higher education has its work cut out for it. To disseminate some truth about the University in place of the falsehood that has been so readily accepted is a duty which should be attended to as soon as possible.
图
Jack Cannon, the Missouri Valley tennis champion who has enrolled in the law school at Missouri and is trying out on the tennis squad, ought to be some "gun" for the Tigers.
In talking about his new plan for the educational institutions, Governor Stubbs remarked that in the past there had been some trouble about the appropriations. Surely the governor must have been jollying—Lawrence Gazette.
Red Domino Club Will Avoid Controversy.
He Didn't Mean it.
MORE TALK OF UNION
During the vacation some steps were taken by certain members of the student body to discover means by which the Masque and Thespian dramatic clubs might be united to the satisfaction of the members of both clubs. The idea of forming a single club was discussed at some length but nothing definite had been done before.
In order that the Red Domino club may not become entangled in the controversy; their president has written to a number of the eastern universities and found that nearly all the institutions have one dramatic club such as the Masque and one musical opera club such as the Red Domino.
STUDENTS FILL PULPITS
Caldwell, Martindell and Spotts Address Kansas Cityans.
Ralph Spotts, Donald Martin-dell and William Caldwell gave a series of talks at a number of the Kansas City churches the latter part of last week. The Kansas men were invited to speak by the pastors of the churches. The purpose of the talks were to give the younger members of the churches some idea of the religious and educational work being carried on at the University of Kansas.
Friday evening at the Howard Memorial church each of the men gave a speech before an audience of over 200. Ten or fifteen students of the university who were in Kansas City also attended. The work of the three men was in the nature of a lecture course. Saturday evening Spotts and Martindell spoke before the Senior Endeavor league of the Linwood Presbyterian church.
The Kansas students were introduced to the church audiences as leaders in University life who are interested in religious matters.
Dr. Carl Wilm of Washburn who has been regularly employed as Professor of Philosophy during the University Summer Schools for the past few years has been offered a position as joint-assistant at Harvard and Radeliffe Colleges at Cambridge. He will accept for one year if Washburn will give him a leave of absence.

"Distinctive"
No other word in the English language so aptly describes our new tan, gray and blue Suits and Spring Overcoats for Men and young Men.

You realize, instantly, that you have found a class of clothing that is utterly different from what you are accustomed to see--and the greatest revelation of all is the discovery that these finely hand-tailored clothes can be bought for as little money as you have been paying for clothes that will not stand comparison with ours.

FEW IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE CAMPUS
CUT IN APPROPRIATION BILL SPOILS PLANS.
Engineers Will Have to Wait Awhile—Embankment at Bottom of Hill Delayed.
Few improvements will be made upon the campus this spring according to E. F. Crocker who is superintendent of buildings and grounds at the university. The recent cut in the appropriation bill will fall more severely upon him than upon other departments connected with the university because campus improvements can be dispensed with.
Among the improvements that were decided upon before the bill was slashed was an embankment around the bill just above the building which he uses for his offices. The embankment would be made to prevent the dirt from tumbling down on the street car track. This will be dispensed with as will also several improvements around the engineering building in the way of grading and sodding. An immense amount of work will have to be done west and south of Marvin hall before the campus adjacent, can be sodded and trees set out. At present Mr. Crocker can not tell just what improvements will be made, but they will probably be limited to the setting out of a few more bushes and shrubs and resodding some parts of the campus.
SWIMMERS TO K. C.
Will Try Luck a Second Time With Y. M.
The Y. M. C. A, and K. U. swimmers will compete in the pool at the Y. M. C. A., Tenth and Oak streets, next Saturday night. Indoor swimming meets are still in the novelty class in Kansas City and the large crowds that have attended meets in the Y. M. C. A. pool have greatly encouraged the pursuit of this branch of sport. This meet will be of special interest, as, judging from the last meet between these teams several closely contested events are expected. The teams will compete in the following events: 30-yard dash, 60- yard dash, 120-yard dash, 50-yard back stroke, 30-yard dash, legs tied; faney diving, under water swim, plunge for distance, and relay race, 120 yards (4-men teams).
Among K. U.'s swimmers will be J. Daniels, captain; Davis, Griffin Brown, Grignard and Wilhelm. Among the swimmers representing the Y. M. C. A. will be E. H. Hancock, A. E. Seymour, C. L. Healey, A. B. Grantham, captain; Ray Heath, J. Broheimer, C. Anderson, G. Stanley, C. W. Barney and P. Payne.

NOW THE FARMER-EDITOR
Following K. S. A. C. Plan Coun try Editors May Make Living.
A newspaper published on a farm! The farmer a regular contributor of well written articles to the farm journals and country weeklies!
This is one of the startling changes the Kansas Agricultural College is bringing about. By means of its department of "Agricultural Journalism" the students are taught to become sole-managers of country papers, working on every branch of the subject from writing personals to printing the paper. Reporting takes the form of writing up farm subjects in as interesting a manner as that used in the most startling city "scool." The copy reading class not only corrects its own copy but improves the articles in every paper the department studies. The printing office is the meeting place of a regular class in printing. Up-to-date presses and fixtures make the office all a press room should be However, it is too clean. The mer say they can't get the proper atmosphere for lack of dirt.
"The Industrialist" a model farm journal published by the students of the department, contains news and articles of especial interest to the farmers and is printed to be circulated among them.
The students are interested in their work and very much in earnest. Their school has taken a big part in the general movement of "uplift for the farmers" and is emphasizing an important feature of the struggle for culture which is sweeping over the rural districts.
April Lawyer Out.
"It is really missionary work,' said Miss Sadie Mossler, assistant professor in industrial journalism. "Our paper 'The Industrialist' has improved many country weeklies already. They realize that it is a model paper and notice and criticise every detail even so small a mistake as a typographical error. One of our students is going to set up a printing shop on his father's farm next year and combine farming and publishing. It is no wonder the farmers are loyal to the school—everything it does is of practical value to them."
Bonnie Coleman, a freshman in the school of Fine Arts, entertained with a house party at her home in Garnett during the vacation. Her University guests were Mabel Evans, Beulah Murphy, Mabel Cobbs, and Paul Carl.
The April issue of the "Kansas Lawyer" appeared for distribution today. Two articles on "The Liability of the Automobilist," by Harry Hart of Harvey county continued from last month, and "The Duty to obey the Law," by Justice R. A. Burch of the Supreme Court of Kansas are of popular interest and will be much read. Two constructive editorials on "School Days" and the appropriation affairs are worthy of attention also.
Prof. E. B. Cowgill of the department of University Extension will speak before the Central Protective association of Shawnee Thursday evening. His subject will be "The Farmer's Future."

K. U. GOLFERS DEFEATED
Disastrous Trip to Topeka Last Saturday.
Last Saturday eleven members of the Oread Golf Club went to Topeka for a tournament with the Topeka Country Club. The university club which was composed mainly of professors was defeated by the strong Topeka club 32 up. The showing made by the Kansas men was not bad considering the fact that the course was entirely new to them and that this was their first trip out of Lawrence.
The captain of the team M. W. Sterling took his men to Topeka Saturday morning. The Topeka men met them at the train and took them to their club house in automobiles. A luncheon was served after which the matches of the afternoon were held. The Country Club's course is one of the best in the country and the Kansas golfers enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
This is the first of a series of out of town games which will be played by the Oread Golf Club. A return match with the Topeka Club will be held on the university links in a couple of weeks. The membership of the club is very small only fifty being active and but six of these university students. In the large colleges of the east golf is considered one of the chief sports and if more of the students here should take up the game the course could be improved greatly. The initiation fee to the club is very small and is only sufficient to keep the greens cut.

UNIVERSITY AIDS IN LABOR PROBLEMS
PROF. F. W. BLACKMAR'S PLAN WAS ADOPTED.
Numerous Disputes Settled by Arbitration Method in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri.
After some months of arbitration under the agreement brought about by the University between the miners and the mine owners of the coal district in the state, the method of arbitration has proved to be successful. The arbitration was almost wholly brought about by the University extension department and Prof. F. W. Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School.
During the time of the strike lasting throughout the first part of last year the University of Kansas, under arrangements made by the department of University Extension, addressed the Central Labor Organization of Topeka. The department presented strongly the advantages of the arbitration method in settling disputes between employers and employees and denounced strikes and backouts as not only expensive and brutal but unworthy of an enlightened age.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar one of the university professors was sent to Topeka by the department of University Extension. His talk proved such a success that the extension department later minedographed it. It was then sent by the department to the labor organizations and to prominent employers of labor throughout Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Many letters of commendation were received after the lecture had been read and discussed in the labor organizations. Employers of labor were most unanimous in their approval.
This work done by the University hastened the close of the strike and induced the contending parties to make a binding agreement that all disputes in the future should be settled by a board of arbitration.
So great is the confidence in the arbitration method as provided in the existing contract that the arbitrator has already been called on to settle numerous differences between the miners and employees after all other methods had been tried and failed. W. L. A. Johnson, the Kansas Labor commissioner, has been selected as the final arbitrator at a salary of three thousand dollars a year to begin on July 1 of this year, when his term as labor commissioner expires. Mr. Johnson has already been able to avert several strikes that would have taken place had it not been for the arbitration.
The university may congratulate itself on having a part in promoting what promises to be a permanent method of settling strikes between the coal miners and employers.

WHY BLEACH FLOUR?
Government Says White Kind is Injurious.
Prof. H. W. Emerson of the School of Pharmacy spoke before the Chemical club last Wednesday afternoon in the Chemistry building. His subject was "Bleached Flour." Prof. Emerson reviewed the case of bleached flour tried in Kansas City last summer at which he and Prof. L. E. Sayre, dean of the School of Pharmacy, were witnesses for the millers, who claimed that bleached flour was not harmful. "The millers also had," according to the speaker, "professors from the Universities of Chicago, Nebraska, Missouri, and the Kansas Agricultural College.
"The government had their own chemists and others from Harvard and the Universities of Pennsylvania and New York. The case was tried before the federal court and was decided in favor of the government.

"The only advantage of bleaching," concluded Prof. Emerson, "is to make the flour whiter and this is the kind that the people seem to want." The government, however, claimed that bleached flour was injurious to the blood, especially the nitrites resulting from the bleaching and with this won the case.

STATE INSTITUTIONS TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Moral and Spiritual Welfare of Students Will be Asked After—Fee Question Considered
Governor Stubbs has called a meeting of the state commission of higher education to be held in his office May 4. All the Regents of the University, the Agricultural College and the Normal are members of the commission. According to a letter which the governor sent out the first of the week calling the meeting, the following matters will be considered:
The methods used by each institution in looking after the moral and spiritual welfare of students. The extent to which the institutions keep in touch with students outside of the class room.
The incidental expenses and fees charged students for all purposes in all departments.
The number of professors and teachers in each department of the three state educational institutions, together with the total expenditures and receipts for each department during the month of April and as many months prior to April as possible. Also the number and grade of students taught daily by each professor or instructor; the average number of students attending each class and a statement showing other duties performed by each professor or instructor.
At the meeting May 4 the committees which have been at work since the first meeting of the commission a few weeks ago will report upon the efficiency, business management and co-ordination in the three institutions.
Governor Stubbs also is said to be interested in the matter of student fees. A law was passed at the last session of the Legislature turning all but laboratory fees into the general treasury. They previously had been turned back to the institutions which had collected them. Under the present law they presumably can be used to pay for repairing the penitentiary or gilding the state house dome, or for any other purpose that is not educational. Governor Stubbs says he is opposed to having the students in the professional schools pay more into this fund than the students who take the non-vocational courses.

OFFERMANY MEDALS TO CLASS ATHLETES
TENTH INTERCLASS MEET
SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 29.
Captains Requested to Enter Names of Contestants—Records May be Broken.
The captains of the class track teams are requested to make up their lists of the contestants that each class will enter and turn them in to Manager Larson on the Wednesday preceding the games which will be held at 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon April 29. This will be the tenth time that the athletes of the several classes of the University have tested their strength for the honor of their year on MeCook field.
Gold, silver, and bronze medals will be awarded the winners of the first, second, and third places in each event and the team scoring the highest number of points in the meet will have its year and the year of its victory inscribed on the Sol Marks trophy which is now in the trophy room at Robinson gymnasium. Every contestant who breaks one of the University of Kansas records will be awarded a silver loving cup and a "K" for track work by the Athletic Association.
The track events and their order will be: 120-yd, high hurdles, 100-yd, dash, one mile, quarter mile, 220-yd, low hurdles, ½ mile, 220-yd, dash, two mile, medley relay race. The order of the field events will be the pole vault, shot put, running high jump, running broad jump, and throwing the discus.
NUMBER 81
The final race of the meet will be a medley relay race between all classes and the men will run 100 yards, 220 yards, 440 yards, 800 yards, and one mile in the order named. Each member of the winning relay team will receive a gold medal.
Several of the University records are expected to go by the board this spring since a favorable day will afford an advantage over the athletes who took part last year when they were forced to run on one of the coldest and most disagreeable days of the spring.
MAY FETE PRACTICE
Plans for the May Fete are now completed, and work on the various events has begun in carnest. Miss Fish who has charge of the dances is holding practice for the May pole dance every afternoon; and having rehearsals of the other dances every evening in the gymnasium.
Parts of Mother Goose and Robin Hood Open.
Miss Beulah Murphy, manager of the May Fete, announces that if any fraternity, club or individual, has any stunt which they will put on, that it will be gladly added to the day's program. Several persons are also needed to fill some of the parts of Robin Hood and Mother Goose parts which are as yet untaken.
Ralph Spotts has been appointed Town Crier, and will ride through the city on the morning of the May Fete and announce the events of the afternoon. Geo. Bowles has charge of the music for the Fete and is organizing several bands of strolling minstrels. The part of Royal Jester for the day will be taken by "Buzz" Sutton.
FRESHMEN ARE RESTRICTED
Now They Cannot Meet Other Schools in Track.
It was recently misstated that the freshman baseball team would make an extensive trip over the state playing several of the high schools. Such intentions have been absolutely denied by Manager Lansdon this morning, since the members of any of the freshman teams cannot compete in any event or game held under the auspices of the University.
Heretofore the freshman basket ball and baseball teams have scheduled contests with the high schools of the state and the track athletes have been allowed to compete with the members of the high school squads. However, the new ruling of the Missouri Valley conference that was drawn up last spring has served to deprive the tyros of the right to try their strength and skill with some of the other athletes of the secondary schools. The class baseball team will, like the football team of last fall, be forced to be content to play against the varsity. The users of the spikes and the cinder path will not be able to meet any of the high school athletes of the state, and they will have to be content to battle with the varsity men.
PROVIDE FOR TREASURY
Student Council Also Would Regulate Organizations.
At the meeting of the Men's Student Council Tuesday evening, steps were taken which will probably result in the establishment of a permanent maintenance fund for that body, before the end of this term. The Council has felt the need of such a fund at numerous times during the year. All the money that the council has used during the past two years was given first by private individuals and later made up by contribution.
The proposition of a reorganization of the various student enterprises which has been before the Council several times was again discussed. The plan as proposed by some of the members is to place all or a greater part of the organizations under some central control, thereby adding to their efficiency and better government.
The greater part of the meeting was taken in drafting the rules and regulations which shall govern the Athletic election.

The engagement of Florence Hedger, an instructor in the department of Chemistry, and earnest Duke, a former student in the College, was announced today. The wedding will be some time this summer at her mother's home in lola or here in Lawrence
Miss Hedger has been an instructor in the department of Chemistry for the past four years. She has attended the university and was graduated from the College in 1904. She also received a Master of Arts degree in 1908.
Mr. Duke attended the University in the years 1903 and 1904. He is now working at Blue Rapids where he is in the employ of the American Cement Company of this city.
Prof. H. P. Cady and the other members of the Chemistry faculty began yesterday morning to circulate a subscription list with the object of buying some kitchen furniture for Miss Hedger. They plan to raise fifty dollars. Most of this will be spent for an oak kitchen cabinet, while the remainder will be used to buy aluminum utensils. Thirty-five dollars of this has already been raised as so far one hundred and forty students and faculty members have each subscribed twenty-five cents towards the fund.

RELAY TEAM PICKED
Eight Men Will go to Des Moines Saturday.
The final try-outs for the relay team that will make the trip to Des Moines to take part in the Relay Carnival to be held by Drake University, were run on McCook field Tuesday afternoon. Eight men will participate in three relay events that the University has entered. Kraus, Patterson, Watson, and Osborne will run in the two mile and four mile relay races and Roberts, D. Davis, Schwab, and Black will run in the one-half mile relay. It was the intention of the management to take fourteen or sixteen men to enter this meet, but word was received by Manager Lansdon this week that Drake University would pay the expenses of only eight men to the meet and accordingly the number of the team has been cut.
In the try-outs Tuesday afternoon the following men qualified for the mile and half mile; Kraus, Patterson, Watson, and Osborne, and McMillan. In the first heat of the 220 yard dash the result was as follows; first, D. Davis; second, Schwab; third, Roberts; fourth, Hamilton; fifth, Black. In the second heat Fairebolds won first; H. Woodbury, second; and G. Smith, third.
In the quarter mile race, Black won first; G. Smith, second; Fairchilds, third; E. Davis, fourth; D. Davis, fifth; and McMillan sixth.

These new rules place the athletic election upon the same basis as the class and student council elections.
Rules for the athletic election which is to be held next Tuesday were drawn up by the Men's Student Council last Tuesday evening. The rules provide for the Australian Ballot system, nomination by petition and several other features new to an athletic election but which have been desired by a large number of students.
The rules adopted by the council are:
Art. 1. Election of Officers.
With each petition of the candidates named in Article 1 shall be deposited the sum of seventy-five cents to defray the expenses of election. Unless this amount is paid to the President of the Men's Student Council before six o'clock p.m. on the Friday immediately preceding the date of election, the name of the defaulting candidate shall not be placed upon the ballot.
Article 4. Illegal Voting and Electioningering.
Art. 3. Candidates.
All petitions shall be submitted to the President of the Men's Student Council before six o'clock p.m., on the Friday immediately preceding the date of election.
The election of the officers of the Athletic Association of the University of Kansas to consist of a President and vice-president; and four student members of the athletic board, shall be held annually on the last Tuesday in April from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m.
Art. 2. Method of Holding Flection
Any person may become a candidate for any one of the offices named in Article 1 on petition of fifty of the members of the Athletic Association; provided such person conforms to the scholarship eligibility rules governing student organizations other than athletic.
Any person guilty of fraudulent or illegal voting shall be punished by his or her respective student governing body.
The election shall be by the Australian ballot system. The names of all nominees for office shall be placed on a single ballot, all those running for same office being grouped together; their order upon the ballot being determined by lot by a committee consisting of the general officers of the Men's Student Council.
No electionering or campaigning of any kind shall be allowed within a radius of ten feet of the judges tables; this to include the distribution of campaign literature of any character, such as dodgers, sample ballots, etc.
Art. 5. Election Committee.
There shall be an election committee consisting of five persons chosen by the Men's Student Council and of which the President of the Men's Student Council shall be chairman. The duties of this committee shall include the arrangements for the holding of the election, the procuring of voting booths, the place of election, rules governing electioneering and whatever else is necessary for conducting the election.

REGARDING PROFESSORS.
The question has been asked: "Why is it that the professors of the western colleges publish but few books in comparison with the numerous publications of professors in many of the eastern schools?" In a recent lecture to one of his classes a University professor referred to this question and checked it all up to the proportionate amount of leisure time that the instructors in the various schools have. In the eastern schools it is said to be a usual thing for a professor to have but two hours of instruction work each week and the rest of his time may be spent in research. At the University, for instance, many of the professors have from ten to fifteen or more hours of instruction each week. People who do not understand the situation probably consider a job that demands only fifteen hours of application per week, to be a snap and they indicate the attitude of the men here toward the question.
The entire question is a pertinent one. If the professors at the University are not allowed sufficient time for research and not given ample opportunity to make known the results of any investigations, the University and the state will suffer. It cannot be doubted that our western professors possess just as much common sense and ability as do their colleagues in the east, but the fact remains that they are far behind their eastern brethren in announcing the results of their work to the world.
The entire question is an open and debatable one. An inquiry into actual conditions as they exist at the University may lead to some interesting and perhaps startling results.
The time seems to be past at the University of Kansas when politics, like salvation, is free. Whenever the office-seeking student wishes to see his name gracing an Australian ballot in the future he will have not only to send his friends out to circulate petitions, but he will have to put up seventy-five cents in good hard money for the privilege. Making the politicians pay the cost of politics is probably the greatest political idea that ever originated at the University of Kansas. The idea is not likely to be popular among politicians at large. Its application would make their profession as unremunerative as the ministry.
It takes a long time to learn the things that are worth knowing. An eastern professor knows how to live on twelve cents' worth of food a day—but he probably spent most of his sixty-six years finding it out.
One of the worst opponents of spring football is spring fever.
A story sent out from Boston says that beans are hard to digest and are practically worthless as food. Next thing we expect to see a story sent out under a Kansas dateline saying that the Sunflower state ozone is bad for the health.
The rule against K. U. girls stopping over in the village for ice cream sodas, shows the fine Italian hand of the man student; it is a frame-up with the faculty to enable the college boy to get through with his allowance, instead of "going through" it or "coming through with it."—Topeka State Journal, Tuesday April 18, 1911.

THESE NAMES POPULAR
Helens And Marys Are Most Numerous at K. U.
ed it. Only about twenty-five girls here have the distinction of bearing names which no one here, at least, can share. Among these the most uncommon names are: Maelynette, Ila, Zippa, Vashti, Efinda, Evadne, Rella, Viva, Regina, Creola, Telka, Arta, Vale, and Antoinette. There is only one example also of Melinda, Marcia and Angeline which used to be among the most popular names for women.
Does every name carry a certain significance with it in your mind? If it does how do you reconcile yourself to the exceptions, or is it true that every one is named properly? For instance, at the University, Helen is the most popular name, having thirty owners. Are these all alike? Mary comes next with twenty-nine and then Ruth with twenty-seven. No other name can compete with these three; the numbers drop suddenly to fifteen, which marks the popularity of both Elizabeth and Florence. Twelve girls are named Mabel, nine Bessie, and eight Nellie or Nelle.

REQUIRE FACTS ON SCHOOL TEACHERS
COMPLETE INFORMATION
FILED BY COMMITTEE
Increased Demand for Teacher in Manual and Professional Studies-90 Seniors Enrolled
The committee on recommendations of students of the university for teaching positions in the high schools of the state next fall are at present making their selections of the applicants and sending their recommendations to the various schools. The members of the committee are Dean C. H. Johnston of the school of Education, Prof. W. H. Carruth, Prof. A. T. Walker, and the secretary is W. H. Johnson the high school visitor.
So far ninety seniors in the University have been enrolled with secretary Johnson as applicants for teaching positions. Of this number seventy-five per cent are certificated teachers, that is, they have all the subjects required, by the state law, for instructors in the high schools. Ten percent of the applicants this year are men. This is an increase over previous years.
When application is made to the committee, the student is asked to fill out a printed blank. Such items are contained as the name in full of applicant, the age, degree received or expected at the university, the name of the high school attended, the nature of the appointment desired and the salary expected. The physical condition and the height and weight of teacher is also recorded, also the forms of athletics which the person can coach.
The student names the professors he has studied under at the university, who answer the following questions concerning the person: Scholarship, strength of character, good sense, personal address and social adaptability. Remarks are included and a recommendation by the teacher.
A permanent file of all the facts is kept in the office of the secretary. A photograph of each applicant is also placed in this file. The different high schools are furnished with a letter enclosing the facts which the committee has collected and their recommendation and remarks.
Secretary Johnson has about 125 possible high school positions. This year there has been an increased demand for teachers in manual and professional studies The manual subjects include manual training, and domestic science.
There are at present 350 former students of the University teaching in state schools. Secretary Johnson says that the recommendations of the committee are made in the interests of the schools as well as of the teachers.
GIRLS GO HUNGRY
Thief Steals Lunch Baskets From Fraser.
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard—so did several hungry University girls. And they like the dear old lady of childhood rhyme found the shelves bare. Somebody with an appetite has been stealing the lunch baskets which the girls who do not go home at noon have been leaving in Fraser's basement cupboard. During the past two weeks a half dozen baskets have been taken. The girls who have been losing their daily bread in this way have formed an anti-lunch-thief society.
Tentative plans for an Auditorium for the University of Michigan indicate that the new building will be 125 feet by 200 feet. The funds for the new Auditorium are now available to the University from the will of the late Hon. Arthur Hill, of Saginaw, and amount to $200,000.

Big League Scout Gets Line on Material.
Ted Sullivan, catcher for the Chicago White Sox team was here this week, watching the varsity ball games. Did you know that this same Ted is one of the most noted baseball scouts in America? Evidently the fame of the pellet chasers of the Sunflower state has reached the cars of one Comisky, owner of the Chicago White Sox, for you must know that the aforesaid Ted is drawing a goodly sum each year pointing out to the wily Comisky those users of the horse hide who show signs of being comers. And the question naturally arises what was Ted doing here if he wasn't scouting?
Sullivan is a personal friend of Farrill, the local slabster, and while here he and Farrill had a conversation relative to baseball. Farrill refuses to state just what was the exact subject of conversation but it is reported that there was some talk about future baseball. It is not known whether or not Sullivan saw any other members of the team but it is known that he was at several of the practices and got a line on the varsity material.
And the mystery is still unexplained. Farrill says the visit was merely one of pleasure but the fact that Sullivan has spent several days at St. Mary's college getting a line on the Catholic players lends strength to the supposition that his mission was not for pleasure only.
Mrs. H. T. Chalkley Appointed to Board of Control.
ALUMNA IS HONORED
Mrs. H. T. Chalkley, who graduated from the university in '97, has been appointed by Governor Stubbs to the Board of Control of all the charitable institutions of the state. Mrs. Chalkley is one of the two women visitors, who hold positions on the board and are selected from the entire state of Kansas. The other member of this committee is Mrs. W. A. Johnson, the wife of Judge Johnson of Topека.
The two women will visit the charitable institutions in a few months and will probably be accompanied by Mrs. Stubbs. The institutions which will be visited include the insane asylum, the boys reform school, the old folkks home and others. All the expenses of the trip will be paid by the state and a small salary is connected with the work. A report will be given to the Board of Control and the appropriations for the different institutions will be made accordingly.
Order Your Caps And Gowns
Orders for caps and gowns are now being taken at the check stand by members of the committee. The time limit for ordering has been extended to next Tuesday April 25 and payment must be made in advance. The prices are $1.80 for two weeks, $1.30 for five days, $1.05 for two days. The order for two weeks will include the last Friday chapel. In order to place an order for caps and gowns it is necessary to pay the class day fee of one dollar.

A SUCCESSFUL TRIP
No Accidents in Easter Canoe Trip.
The five University students, Van den Brock, Lisie Kaffer, Ross Miller, Harry Trowbridge, and Samuel Berger, who made a journey up the Kaw in canoes during the Easter holidays, returned Sunday night and report a successful trip. "We got a little farther than Topeka," said one of the men this morning, "and made camp until Sunday morning. On the way back we encountered a strong wind. We turned this to good advantage however by using a sail on one of the canoes and towing the other. In this way we made the entire distance from Topeka to Lawrence in less than a day. We had no accidents but narrowly missed one when under full sail we ran onto a sand bar."
The freshmen defeated the varsity on McCook field yesterday afternoon by the score of 5 to 3.

FOOTBALL WORKOUT MORE STRENUOUS
DESPIE WARM WEATHER
GOOD PRACTICE IS HEL.
Game May be Arranged For It Week of School—Team Work Essential.
Despite the hot weather and the ease with which the perspiration flows down the cheeks, and the apparent incongruity of the season, the men who visit McCook field to train for the track team on the long cinder path and the men who go there to take part in the American pastime of baseball have heard this week the dull thud that accompanies the shock of the gridiron warrior's foot against the pig skin as he punts or drop-kicks the oval over the bar. Spring practice was started last Tuesday and several men have been coming out consistently for work since that time. Several of the last year varsity men have checked out suits at the gymnasium and are practicing kicking and passing on the golf links south of McCook field. Many new men have made their appearance in foot ball toggery who give promise of making good material for the varsity machine next fall.
The spring practice is in the charge of Jay Bond, who was the star half back on the ever-victorious team of 1908, and Tommy Johnson, the quarter back of the team for the past three years. Bond said this afternoon that all the men who did not appear for practice last fall and have not yet checked out suits this spring should hasten to do so if they would take advantage of spring workout and the opportunities that it offers the new men in becoming acquainted with the style of the old varsity men and becoming known by the coaches. "It will be the men who can fit in best with team work who will have the best chance of making the squad next year," said Bond and the men all need the practice in passing and kicking that they can obtain before the close of school.
Captain Ammons, Davidson, Kabler, Price, and Ahrens, of the last year's squad have donned the mole-skins and some of the new men who have come out for the practice are: Fox. Weidlein Dickson, Elisele, and Cady Daniels.
Next year in playing the forward pass, the ball must be fielded cleanly accordingly to the change that was made in the rules and accordingly 'the men need much practice in passing and receiving the ball. Next week the coaches expect to begin light scrimage and tackling. It is their desire that all the men come out before this work is started.
At present the coaches are trying to arrange for a short game to be played between the freshman and varsity teams of last fall. In case the arrangements for this contest can be made, the game will be played during the last week of school. Also on the last day of the practice the contest in kicking will be conducted. The contest will be limited to the kick-off, punt, drop-kick and the place kick. The trophy which will be a permanent trophy for the man who wins, will be a silver loving cup and the competition at present points to a close contest.
The young men of the Christian church will give a party next Saturday evening for the girls of the congregation. It will begin at eight o'clock and will be in the church parlors.

POSTAGE BILL IS HIGH.
It Costs a Lot to Send Student Letters Home.
Did you ever think of the neat little sum the students of the university were spending every week of the school year, just to let their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and the other fellow's sister or brother, know that a warm spot remained in the writers' hearts for them?
Pieris Nimodus
Just to make our mathematics somewhat easier, we will say that there are 2,300 students enrolled in the University. Not a week passes but that everyone of these students mails a letter to some loved one at home. That much is sure. Then for one week they would spend the sum of forty-six dollars; for one month, $184, and for the school year of nine months the amount would reach above the thousand dollar mark, $1,656.00.
Now the cousin who remained at home has to receive a letter or there is trouble. Let us allow him—or her—two letters a week and the sum spent will be $3,312 bringing the total up to $5,382.00
This is figuring only for a letter to Mother down at the home place and leaving out the monthly letter to dad which would increase the amount $414 a year, or a total of $2,070.00
The brothers and sisters do not come in for so very much, but still they come in for some. Make it one letter a month for the two and you will have $414 to add, making the grand total $5,796.00.
This grand total of $5,796.00 doesn't include letters to the friends that were made in school, nor does it include the numerous daily letters to the cousins. But taking it all in all, $5,796.00 is some money.

ANNUAL DINNER HELD FOR Y. M.C.A.
ADVISORY OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE MEN MEET
Plans Proposed For Next Year Drs. Payne, Wilber and C. Whitehair are Guests
The annual installation dinner of the incoming officers, advisory board, and chairmen of committees of the University Y. M. C. A. was held last evening at the Pi Upsilon house. Drs. F. A. Wilber and W. C. Payne and Charles Whitehair of Topeka who is College secretary of the state Y. M. C. A. with headquarters at Topeka were invited guests.
The new officers are: D. C Martindell, president; Charles Woodbury, vice president; S. S Schooley, secretary and Ralph Yeoman, treasurer. The chairmen of the committees for next year are: Bible study, E. E Stephens; mission study, T. N hill; finance, Ray Soper; publicity, Orlin Weed; social, Charles Younggreen; religious meetings, Ross Beamer, and H. C. Herman, general secretary. Of the advisory committee Prof. E. M. Hopkins, F. H. Billings, and S. J Hunter, were present. After dinner Prof. E. M. Hopkins spoke to the toast," Why a board of advisors?" gave a talk largely historical in which he referred to the fact that a few years ago the Y. M. C. A. was accused of being a purely political machine and that the line between the barb and the frat man was sharply drawn even inside the association." At the present time," he said, "every one anckewedges the immense work for good that the Y. M. C. A. is doing and I am glad to see that all lines between fraternity and non-fraternity men have been obitrated as they should be."
Donald Martindell, the new president spoke on the subject,
"The Presidency—old and new."
In his opinion the principal thing to be emphasized in the work for the next year by the association should be fellowship, between the members and between the members and the student body.
E. E. Stephens chairman of the Bible study committee said in reference to his work for the coming year that more efforts than ever before would be made to make the Bible study classes well attended and beneficial.
"A few knocks," was the subject for Roy Stockwell, who has been connected with the association during the past year and who will be graduated this spring. He spoke of the important place that the Y. M. C. A. held in University affairs and hoped that next year the membership would be increased from four hundred and fifty to one thousand members. He said, "I do not wish to tread on any ones toes but the churches of this city are not getting hold of the University men. That is a task that
H. C. Herman general secretary of the association spoke of the enormity of the work that has been planned for next year. With the new auditorium with its seating capacity of five hundred we should get out more men to the meetings that we will have next year.
can be performed only by a student religious organization and it is the duty of the Y. M. C. A. to look after the religious welfare of every student here."
C. W. Whitechair told of the cooperation that the local organization could expect from the headquarters at Tooneka.
The last speaker W. C. Payne in addressing the men of 1912, called attention to the fact that the man who accomplished something must get into the work heart and soul and mind. The work of the men in the Y. M. C. A. should be to serve as matches to light the flames of a great religious movement that will affect the lives of every man on the bill.

One girl is given a college course of three years, or a scholarship amounting to $1,000. Members of the association, who are teachers in the K.C. schools recommend the applicants from their schools and a committee makes the selection. The girl attends the Missouri University or the University of Kansas. An innovation in the play this year is the use of men in the cast. Before this both the men's and the women's parts have been taken by women.
The committee having the play in charge is : Misses Mary Gentry, Mary Rockwell, Helen Stout, Fannie James and Miss Eloise Osborn. Taking parts in the play are :
New Senior Try-Out.
Mr. Frank Dickinson, Mr.
James Goodman, Mr. Ralph
Marsh, Mr. Whitfield Mulord.
Mr. Butler Gentry, Mr. Stanley
Young, Miss Eloise Osborn, Miss
Mary Rockwell, Miss Caroline
Stoner, Miss Arabelle Robinson.
Notwithstanding that the tryout for the Senior play Tuesday evening was a most successful one, another tryout will be held on next Monday evening in Fraser hall at 7:00 o'clock. This newtry-out is being given at the special request of a number of the seniors who were out of town at the time of the last tryout and also on account of the threatening weather.

NUMBER 82
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1911
FINAL H. S. DEBATE HERE ON MAY 5
ASHLAND AND MONTGOMERY TO DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP.
kegents' Silver Loving Cup Will be Given to Winners—Prof. Price Has Charge.
The debate to decide the state high school championship for this year will be held in Lawrence, Friday, May 5, between Ashland and Montgomery county high school. This is the first annual debate of the league as it was only established this year. The question is concerning the restriction of immigration. The exact wording is: Resolved that our present immigration laws be amended so as to debar all immigrants over sixteen years of age and unable to read and write; provided, that this amendment shall not debar dependents upon qualified immigrants or residents of the United States.
Thirty three high schools have taken part in the various debates so far on different questions of day. The debating teams were first divided into districts corresponding to the seven congressional districts. Those that won in the districts are: Lansing in the first, Fort Scott in the second, Montgomery county in the third, Burlington in the fourth, Clay county in the fifth, Hill City in the sixth, and Ashland in the seventh congressional district.
Clay county was then eliminated by Lansing which in turn was defeated by Montgomery county who had already won from Fort Scott. Burlington was eliminated by Ashland which had already put Hill City out of the race. This gives the Ashland and Montgomery county high schools the opportunity to contend for the state championship.
Those who will represent Ashland are Fred Hinkle, Cale Carson, and Clarence Bare, or Roy Cassity. Those who will represent Montgomery county are: Jerry Shearer, Ray McQuisten, and Henry Shinn.
Prof. R. R. Price of the department of University Extension is chairman of the committee that has charge of the debates.
A regents' silver loving cup will be given to the winners. The team that wins the cup for two years in succession can keep the prize. Otherwise it can only be kept by the school for one year, or until the winner of the next debate is known.
New Senior Try-Out.
Notwithstanding that the tryout for the Senior play Tuesday evening was a most successful one, another tryout will be held on next Monday evening in Fraser hall at 7:00 o'clock. This newtry-out is being given at the special request of a number of the seniors who were out of town at the time of the last tryout and also on account of the threatening weather.
Agnes Husband, a senior in the School of Fine Arts, will give a recital in Fraser hall at 8:15 o'clock on the evening of May 3. The recital was formerly announced for April 25.

Prof. J. W. Young, the chapel speaker Tuesday, will talk on "Our Unknown Space."
FUNERAL THIS AFTERNOON
Isaac Foster Died Friday Morn ing of Cancer
The funeral of Isaac Foster, who died Friday morning at eight o'clock was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of his son, Mr. George O. Foster. Dr. W. C. Fayne officiated. The body was interred in Oak Hill cemetery.
Mr. Foster is survived by his wife and six children, Mrs. Rose Hastie and Mrs. Grace Burline, both of Idaho, Will of Phillipsburg, Milton of Ottawa, Scott of Idaho, Clarence and George of Lawrence. His four sons acted as palebearers this afternoon. The elder Mr. Foster has been ill for a number of months. He is 78 years old, and lived in Lawrence for over thirty years. Last year he and his wife moved to Idaho, where they resided until two months ago when they returned to the home of their son Geo. O. Foster. Mr. Foster's death is attributed to cancer of the stomach. During the last week of his life he was unable to take nourishment.
MEDAL TOURNAMENT TODAY
Scores Will be Used in Handicap May 13.
The Oread Golf club is holding a medal tournament on the University links this afternoon to obtain records of each of the members for use in the handicap tournament which will be held May 13. One eighteen hole match was played off this morning between Crawford and Davis. Crawford won with a medal score of 116. Davis took 120 strokes to make the eighteen holes.
The pairings which have gone out so far are: Patterson vs Gibb, Boynton vs. Broadhead, Johnson vs. H. T. Jones and Newton vs. J. W. Young. The winner of the tournament will be the player who covers the course in the fewest number of strokes.
Lenig-Woodbury
Senior Girl's Party.
Richard Woodbury, who was graduated from the school of Engineering in 1909, and Olive Lenig, a graduate of the College in 1908, were married on Easter day at Huntington, Ind. They will live in Kansas City, where Mr. Woodbury has a position with the Kansas City Southern railroad.
The senior girl's party which was to be given March 25, has been postponed until May 1 on account of the fact that a track meet was held in the gymnasium that night. The party will be attended only by members of the senior class.
Tess Critchfield, Lucille Wilkinson and Murray Conley, all students in the University, went to Wichita Wednesday where they attended the wedding of Milton Bosse and Moneta Butts.
Hunter Martin of Kansas City, a former student, is visiting friends at the University today.
J. W. Robertson, of Topeka, is here today visiting his son, Charles who is junior engineer.
JAYHAWKERS TAKE FIRST TWO GAMES
VARSITY DEFEATS WASH BURN AND AGGIES.
Will Meet K. S. A. C. Again Today—Errors Numerous on Both Sides.
The Jayhawker baseball players succeeded in annexing two more victories to their list in the contests with Washburn Thursday afternoon at Topeka, and with the K. S. A. C. team yesterday afternoon at Manhattan. The score of the game with Washburn was 11 to 7. The battery that worked for Kansas was Locke and Smith.
The result of the game yesterday afternoon threatened to be disastrous for Manager Lansdon's men in the ninth inning. Farrill on the mound for Kansas through the first seven innings held the Farmers to few hits and kept the score low. However, in the eight session the Farmers succeeded in pounding out several hits that scored runs, and when the field had cleared their score had been run up to seven against the nine that the varsity counted. Manager Lansdon substituted McCarty for Farrill in the ninth inning. Hill caught for Kansas and the playing of the infield was good although ragged in places. Errors were numerous throughout the contest.
The summary of the game is:
R H E
K. S. A. C...004 010 021 9 10
Kansas...302 040 000 9 8 5
Batteries--Hall and Billings;
Farrill, McCarty and Hill. Umpire,
Gramley.
The varsity team will play the Aggies again today. McCarty will pitch.
JUDGMENT IS OBTAINED
$3,500 Granted to Mrs. Lydia Hall.
The date of the May Fete has been changed from May 6 to May 12. The reason announced by those in charge of the Fete is that on account of the interest of the student body in the Interscholastic track and field games that are to be held May 6, it would be ill-advised to have the Fete the same day. The Chancellor has granted a half holiday.
That there is danger from exposed wiring at the University was made evident this week, when judgment was obtained against the state for $3,500 by Mrs. Lydia Hall whose husband was killed while working at the University two years ago. A year ago last summer Hall was killed while superintending the construction of the Engineering building and several months ago action was brought against the state for $5,000.
Albert Johntz, a graduate last year from the department of civil engineering, is visiting the University today. He is in the office of the department of sewers in Kansas City, Missouri.
Change in Date.
EXTEND CREDIT SYSTEM
New Commission May Emphasize Practical Subjects.
The Commission on Higher Education, which is composed of the regents of the University, the Agricultural College and the State Normal School, may give the plan to push vocational work in the high schools a big boost. There is a movement on foot among the members of the commission to make work done in manual training, domestic science, and agriculture in high schools count as credits for entrance to the University and other schools. This will be one of the subjects taken up for consideration when the commission meets in Topeka May 4.
Governor Stubbs is chairman of the commission and is using his influence to put the emphasis in education upon the so-called "practical" subjects.
TO HELP PROHIBITION
Professor Blackmar Asked to Take a Hand in Maine Fight.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar of the department of sociology has been invited to deliver an address before the National Conference of Charities and Correction, which will meet in Boston in June, on "Prohibition in Kansas."
The subject on which Professor Blackmar has been asked to speak was specified because of the approaching fight which is to be made upon the Maine prohibition law by the liquor interests. All New England is interested in the Maine contest and it has been thought that an address by Professor Blackmar setting forth the working of the law in Kansas will be a help in keeping the Maine law on the statute books.
Geologist to Weaver.
Prof. W. H. Twenhofel, of the geology department, took the members of all the geology classes to Weaver, Kans., this morning on a geological expedition. They will spend the day in hunting rocks and other elements of the earth and return to Lawrence this evening.

WOULD CONTROL STUDENT CONDUCT
COUNCIL RECOMMENDS ITS POWER BE RECOGNIZED
Divided Authority at Present Leads to Confusion—Cases Now Under Consideration
A recommendation was made to the Chancellor of the University yesterday by a committee from the Men's Student Council, that all matters of discipline concerning the men students of the University be turned over to the Men's Council.
Under the Council's constitution, that body has power at the present time to originate and enforce such rules and regulations governing the intercourse and conduct of the men students as may seem advisable or necessary. The disciplinary committee of the University Council also has the same power and at several times during the present year both bodies have been working upon the same matter. Believing that one body or the other should have the control of the disciplinary matters, the Council made its recommendation to the Chancellor. The matter will be referred to the University Council at its next meeting.
However, the Men's Council acting under the power that it now has under its constitution has been conducting an investigation concerning disorderly and ungentlemanly conduct by several University students. The charges are serious ones, but no action will be taken upon it by the council until the first of next week, when the investigations will be more complete.
UNIVERSITY TO GET $20,000?
Rep. Mitchell Presents Claim Before House.
The University will get twenty thousand dollars from the government if a bill introduced in the House by Representative A. C. Mitchell is passed and not vetoed by the President. The New England emigrant aid society built a hotel in Lawrence on the present site of the Eldridge house, but in 1856 pro-slavery sympatizers destroyed it. The sheriff of Leavenworth county was the leader of the party that destroyed the hotel. Fifteen years ago the emigrant society assigned their claim to the University and at various times a bill has been introduced in the House to allow the claim but has either failed at passing or has been vetoed by the President.
Athletic Board Election
The Athletic Board election will be held next Tuesday from 9:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. at the old check stand in Fraser hall. Five booths will be provided for the voters and all other arrangements will be made for the easy and expeditious handling of the electors. The votes will be counted immediately after the closing of the polls so that the final results will be known before six o'clock.
All orders for Caps and Gown must be in by Tuesday. Orders taken at Check Stand.
H. C. Herman and Donald Martindell, left Saturday morning for Topeka where they will attend a conference of college Y. M. C. A. presidents over Saturday and Sunday.

DEMAND FOR RESEARCH
The importance and need for encouraging research is becoming more evident as the years pass by. The educational institutions are all striving to secure more funds for fellowships and facilities for investigation along all lines of work, and that University ranks most prominently that publishes most research. That there is a great demand for higher study is evidenced here at the University, for as soon as opportunities are offered by the different departments, there is immediate call for them. In the department of chemistry, every fellowship is well represented. Several students are doing research in zoology, bacteriology, history, economics, philosophy, physiology, and in the modern as well as the ancient languages.
The need for more room for research at the University is evident. In the department of physiology this year there was a room built but it was entirely inadequate to meet the demand of the students. It has been said that there have been several applicants from other colleges who would be of great benefit to the department if they could be secured as teaching fellows, who will have to be refused because of the lack of room and other facilities. Such a condition represents a distinct loss to the University and there ought to be adequate provision for this work. The department of physiology is only an example. One of the most effective means for making the University a progressive institution is to make ample provision for research.
Now comes someone with a proposition to prove by holy writ that Eve wore trousers, advancing as evidence one translation of
Genesis which reads, "and they sewed fig leaves and made themselves breeches." This is the first intimation we have seen that the harem skirt has a press agent.
It is not within the province of the University Kansan to severely censure the actions of the Ministerial Alliance of this city, but their action this week ought to receive some notice and attention. A few days ago there was a bulletin placed in the main hall in Fraser which purported to be the directory of the churches of Lawrence. All of the Protestant churches were given notice but the services that are held at the Catholic church in the city were entirely ignored. The Kansan believes that in fairness to the fifty-two students and the several professors that are connected with this institution, any bulletin that is supposed to give notice of the services in the Lawrence churches should at least make reference to the Catholic church. It is reported that the reason that this church was not mentioned was because its pastor did not belong to the Ministerial Alliance of the city. This probably is true but it does not explain why the pastor was at first asked to place a notice in the bulletin and later after he had sent in the copy for the notice was notified that it had been decided not to allow the Catholic church notice to appear. A controversy that smacks of religion is always an unpleasant thing but we believe that a mistake has been made and that there should be no partiality or prejudice shown in the announcement of the services in the Lawrence churches.
"Dig down for prosperity," says a headline. Some people's idea of prosperity is to have the other fellow "dig up."
So long as our State Penitentiary is under the supervision of Warden J. F. Codding, we may have no fear but that our state prisoners will receive the best of care and attention and the most humane treatment. The visit of a class in sociology to the prison this week showed to all of those who were present that Warden Codding and his wife are the proper persons to 'over-see the nine hundred of the state's violators of the law. In a short talk to the class at the noon hour the Warden advocated some striking and much needed prison reforms and in view of the great changes that he has wrought in the institution since taking charge, there is no doubt but that under his direction the prison will become a place to "reform and not deform men." The hospitality of Warden and Mrs. Codding in serving a delightful luncheon to the class and later in the careful and painstaking manner in which the prison life was shown, certainly commended them to the highest favor of the entire class.

There is some danger that the "real issue" will be lost to sight in the forthcoming election of new members of the student council. It looks now as if University politics in their most offensive form would be involved in the election. If there are any students in the University who wish to discredit the council and make it a body wholly without significance and authority, no better way could be found than to hold the election to a purely factional political basis. On the other hand, the students who wish to see the council go forward and gain greater influence should forget partisa n considerations entirely when they are marking their ballots.

Many Students in a Measure Self Supporting.
INDUSTRIOUS AT M. U.
Columbia, Mo., April 18.—Forty per cent of the men students at the University of Missouri are, to some degree, self-supporting. That is shown by statistics just compiled in connection with the free employment bureau maintained by the university Y. M. C. A. Many of the men earn all of their expenses, but a majority only partly support themselves and get money from other sources
Since last fall the employment bureau obtained work for 225 men. Most of these were freshmen, for the older students become acquainted after a year here and are able to find work themselves with the people of Columbia. The 225 men have earned since last fall $5,000.
While the character of the employment furnished embraces nearly every kind, the most common is that of waiting on the table for board or room. Firing furnaces is an another common form of work, and one student supports himself wholly by washing windows. He has six other students whom he hires and then takes contracts for cleaning the windows of both business houses and residences. He uses a cleaning solution which he mixes himself. All calls to the bureau for window washers are turned over to him and he hires only students.
The usual price paid for student labor is 15 cents an hour. Those students who know a trade, however, are at a great advantage, for they are able to earn much more. Nearly a dozen students who know the printing trade are able to work several hours every day for pay that ranges from 25 to 45 cents an hour.

CHALLENGES MEN TO COMBAT EVIL
SILVER BELIEVES MEN
SHOULD SACRIFICE MORE
History Should be Studied Philosophically-Greatest Men Were Not Selfish.
"A Challenge to Men" was the subject of ex-chapplain H. Perey Silver in his talk before the Y. M. C. A. at the regular Thursday evening meeting. "The challenge to Men," according to the speaker, is a call to combat the evil of the world.
"One must have a life purpose," said Mr. Silver, "to accomplish anything of note in any branch of work, but men should not concentrate all their time to business but should give some time to working for God. This he can do only by linking his practical knowledge with the divine aid of God. In India only six women out of every thousand can read, and yet many people refuse to give to foreign missions. You need not give your entire life but the best you can give.
"If people would give even a fraction of the time they give to their business, the work of charity would be greatly increased. No man can do his best if he is not willing. This is why some business men sacrifice their physical strength and others become nervous wrecks. In this day of the world we measure a man's success by the money he makes. However, we should measure it by the golden rule. It should not be what one takes out of the world but what he puts into it. Moreover, the mad rush for gold has a tendency to make the world backward.
backward.
"History should not be studied as most people study it. If one studies it philosophically, he would get a different view. A knowledge of what forces tend to make heroes would show that those who sacrificed everything for personal ambition, never improved the country's conditions. On the other hand those who did not try to take everything they could out of the country generally were triumphs, according to the golden rule.
"We have received wonderful blessings and as a result wonderful responsibilities. Surely since we have been made stronger, we ought to be willing to make others stronger and more able to resist the many temptations of life. So if we keep the sunshine of God by sharing our blessings, and use our lives for the uplift of men, we will have successfully answered the challenge of God."

Before Mr. Silver's talk there was special music by John Power.
Dr. James Naismith's class in Anthropometry began work this week with the freshman and sophomore gym classes. They will examine the members of the different classes in the various sports participated in in the gymnasium. Besides taking tests in the 100-yard-dash, pull-up, shot-put, broad jump, high jump. Dr. James Naismith will record the heart pulsation and lung capacity of the athletes. The reports of the work will be kept on record in Dr. Naismith's office for future reference.
One of the athletic authorities at Yale has drawn up plans for an immense stadium, fitted not only for football, but for baseball as well. It will seat 50,000 for football games and about one half that many for the commencement ball games.
Kansas State Normal defeated the Southwest Kansas College ball team Thursday in a hard-fought game at Emporia by a score of 2 to1.
VOLLEY BALL IS LATEST
Followers of New Sport Will Play Lawrence Y. M.
The game of volley ball is the latest sport which has been taken up at the University. C.B. Root is at present teaching the game to his gymnasium classes. The game is a cross between tennis and handball in that the hands are used to bat the ball over a net strung across the middle of the court. The regulation court is 50x25 and the top of the net is seven and one-half feet from the floor. The number of men on a side is six. Larger courts are sometimes used, and ten or twelve men represent each team.
men represent
A challenge has been received from the volley ball team of the Lawrence Y. M. C. A. Mr. Root said this morning: "The Y. M. C. A. believe they are invincible at the game but the enthusiasm which the men are showing for the game convinces me that we can make a good showing in the contest, which will be held in a couple of weeks."
The gymnasium instructor will reduce the number of men to six, who will play for Kansas at that time.

Thirty members of the classes in Remedial and Corrective Agencies and Sociology went to Leavenworth Thursday where they visited the State, Federal, and Military prisons. The class reached Leavenworth about nine o'clock and spent over an hour visiting the Federal prison. There are only two Federal prisons in the United States and the one at Leavenworth contains at the present time 1050 inmates. A new cell addition is being built now. Fort Leavenworth was visited and the Military prison, which contains 900 prisoners was inspected.
At noon the entire class was entertained at luncheon by Warden J. F. Codding and wife of the State Penitentiary and after a short talk by the Warden were taken on a tour of the prison. This prison has at the present time 889 inmates. The class returned to Lawrence on the 4:35 train.

It has been decided to have buttons made to be worn by members of the freshman class at Harvard. This custom has been followed for some years by the senior class with success, and it is thought that it will be even more advantageous to commence the wearing of buttons during the freshman year.
The University of California is to receive $750,000, by the terms of the will of the late E. V. Cowell, a graduate of that institution in the class of 1880. The sum is to be used for the erection of a students' gymnasium, a hospital, and an athletic stadium; each structure is to have $250,000 devoted to it.

CITY GOVERNMENT GREATEST PROBLEM
MAYOR DAVIDSON OF WICHITA EXPLAINS WHY.
Recent Steps Taken by Cities to Remedy Evils—Praise for University Men.
"The government of a large city is the greatest problem of today," said C. L. Davidson of Wichita, in his chapel talk Friday morning. "The fact that nearly one-half of the people live in cities helps show the size of the problem. Moreover, the percent of people living in the cities is constantly increasing. In the state of Kansas the population of the state outside of the cities has decreased during the past decade
What to do with these people, and how to keep them from becoming an expense to the city, is one of the main phases of the question. It has been a frequent plan to send out of the city during the day many of those gathered in by the policemen during the night. This class of people taken to the holdover are those who were arrested for drunkenness or for disturbing the peace. Most of these when they first came to the city were not of the worthless class. But numerous reverses made them paupers, or caused them to become drunkards by patronising the bootleggers. As the bootlegging business is exceedingly profitable, it is hard to exterminate the trade.
"However, the sending of these men out of the city only causes them to go to some other city or return later. A better plan is to try to improve their condition. Many cities are doing this by establishing play grounds, parks, reading rooms and other places of clean amusement to keep the children out of the streets and their parents from visiting the usual places of vice."
He also praised the efforts of Prof. Richard R. Price of the department of University Extension and Prof. C. A. Dykstra of the department of History for their efforts to build up this institution. Chancellor Strong was also praised for his good work.
Mr. Davidson was once a student at the University. In the first part of his address he told of those who had tried the game of politics while at school, and, then as well as since, have made a success of it. A few of his classmates who have made a success along this line are Congressman Scott, Judge West, and Judge Hutchins.
NEW MACHINE INSTALLED
Meterograph Purchased by The Weather Department.
An electrical recording machine has been placed on the roof of Fraser hall by the weather department in order to obtain a more accurate report of the weather changes. The recorder, or metergraph, has been set up by Prof. H. P. Cady. The wind direction, wind velocity, the rainfall and the duration of the sunshine are all recorded on a chart. The advantage of the new machine over the old ones is that the exact time when the rainfall commenced and ended is recorded. The amount of rainfall can be measured with the machine to 1-100 of an inch. The cost of the metergraph is about $150.

PROFESSORS PICKLE PETS
Family Cats and Dogs Are Mar tyrs to a Cause.
Those residents of the town of Lawrence, Kansas, who in the last few days have lost from their premises pet cats and dogs, may find their beloved animals securely tucked away in the case for pickled canines and pussie cats in the zoology room in the basement of Snow hall.
A short time ago Professors Moody, Lindsey, and Baumgartner gave their students in Comparative Anatomy an assignment to round up as many animals commonly known as eats and dogs as possible. Consequently certain University students have been seen skulking through the dark alleys of this town gathering into gunny-sacks the beloved pets of some of the most honored citizens.
At present there are about a dozen and a half pickled vertebrate specimens being dissected by the students of the 1:30 and 3:30 class. Some of the more particular students are catching rabbits for examination. The work with the bow-wows and the meows will continue till the end of the school year. All people who love their pets should take warning and keep them indoors.
GLEE CLUB PLEASES
K. U. Singers Well Received at Topeka Church.
Topeka, April 22.—The Kansas University Glee club sang last night at the First Christian church to a small audience. The audience became impatient before the program began and applauded repeatedly. At about 8:45 the chorus made its appearance and began without further delay to sing some very good music. The feature of the first part of the program was the solo work of Mr. Powers, a bass singer of some ability. He was enceded but failed to respond.
The second part of the evening's entertainment was a libretto, and was sung by the members of the club in costume. It was quite laughable in places, some of the boys acting the parts of coeds in a very comical way. The singing all through the second part was well balanced and the acting was up to the average amateur work.
This number was one of a course that the Baraca class of the First Christian church is giving this spring. The next number will be an illustrated lecture by Dr. R. A. Schweegler, of Lawrence. The title of the lecture will be "Ancient Ruins of the East."
French Play Tonight
The French play "The Barber of Seville" will be presented in the gymnasium this evening at eight o'clock by the classes in French. The cast this year is said to be exceptionally good. Special songs will be the feature. Everybody is welcome to come and no admission will be charged.

Kappa Spring Party
The Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority gave their spring party last night in Fraternal Aid hall. The platform was decorated to represent a Japanese garden, with large pillars and a fence. Japanese lanterns were hung in all parts of the hall. During the favor dance the orchestra played "Meet me where the lantern glows." The girls were given Japanese parasols and men highly decorated center pin wheels.
On the receiving line were Margaret Siegel, Miss Anderson, Mrs. Simpson, of Kansas City, Helen Phillips and Anne Williams. The grand march which started at 8.30 o'clock was led by Mr. and Mrs. E.C. Meservey, of Kansas City and Prof. and Mrs. W.E. Higgins.
The programs were printed on Japanese paper. The dining room was decorated as a Japanese tea room and the refreshments were in red and white. Music was given by Kelley's orchestra of Kansas City.
The out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Meservey, Mrs. C. L. Simpson, Mary Lambert, Maude Browne, Marguerite Smith, Grace King, Fred Cowles, Charles Gossard, Mildred Jansen and E. C. Meservey jr., all of Kansas City, Amy Murstetter, Elmer Sigler and Maude Hipple of Kansas City, Kansas, Paul Walker, Art Gray, of Topeka, Ruby Chisham, Alice Brown, Noble Ayres and Walter Brown of Atchison, Gladys Cox of Chanute, Anna McCoy and Mary Bechtel of Hiawatha, Zaza Wethers, Florence Ballard of Hutchinson, Edith Earl, of Newton, Neva Funk of Iola, Mrs. Chas, Phillips of Wichita, Mr. and Mrs. Clay Bride Shimn of Ottawa and Bernice Brown and Lewis Boebke of Horton.
Marriage of Prof. L. I. Bake.
Dr Lucien I. Blake, formerly professor of physics in the University of Kansas, was married last Tuesday in Trinidad, Col., to Miss Mary Boset Nieten of Kentucky, the ceremony being performed at the residence of the bride's sister in Trinidad. Dr. Blake, since leaving the university, has resided part of the time in Boston and part of the time in Denver, his time being devoted to research work and invention. Of his inventions the best known are the submarine telephone signal system now in use on the great steamship systems of the world, and the method of separating ores by electricity. Dr. Blake is already on his way to Europe where, after a protracted wedding journey, he will renew his work for the submarine signaling company owning his patents. Mr. and Mrs. Blake will probably remain in Europe two or three years. Their address after June first will be Kingsley hotel, Bloomsbury Square, London.
The five women's societies at Northwestern gave "As You Like It." This is an entirely new thing. The men of the University were excluded. The two French comedies, Moline's "Le Medecin Malgré Lue" and Labiche's "La Grammaire," were played by the Northwestern dramatic club with great success.
John Darrough a former student of the University has received an appointment as inintere in the Metropolitan Hospital of New York City.

Some Good Traditions And Fewer Dates Recommended.
At a smoker given Thursday night by the Black Helmet society for the freshmen of the University, Prof. A. J. Boynton one of the speakers attacked the present custom of date-making at the University, which he believes is overdone. He spoke especially of the chapel engagements as being particularly detrimental, in that the students miss many good talks. Prof. Boynton referred also to Harvard University and told numerous traditions and customs of that school.
Coach W. O. Hamilton following up the idea of traditions suggested that a tug of war between the freshmen and sophomore classes could be made a custom which would take the place of the class scraps of a few years ago.

MEET MISSOURI NEXT
Debaters Will Argue Minimum Wage With Tigers.
The next debate of the year, that with the University of Missouri at Columbia, will be held Saturday, April 29. The men who will represent Kansas are Eliot Porter and Clarence Connor. As both of these men are experienced in debate the team this year should have a good chance of defeating Missouri. It has been seven years since Kansas last humbled the Tigers in a debate, and this fact has caused the Kansas men to put forth greater efforts than otherwise.
BE THERE AT SIX
The question which will be discussed is that a minimum wage should be applied in the fields of the sweated industries. One of the greatest evils which exist in the large cities today is the work done by the poor people in the sweat shops. Here an immense part of the hand made goods on the market are made. The people who do the work are too ignorant for other labor and outbid the factories at a wage which is not sufficient to support them. It is the purpose of the minimum wage to set a limit to the bids or wages of these people. Kansas will argue that the minimum wage should not be applied in the fields of the sweated industries. The minimum wage question is one of the biggest and also the fairest question that has been debated by the University in years.
No More Dates Taken After Tomorrow.
Final arrangements are being completed for the presentation of the Junior Prom of the class of 1912 and all the prospects at present point to a larger attendance than has ever been held before. The Prom starts promptly at six o'clock and the curtain will rise on the Faree at 6:15. The last chord will be struck and the electrician will put out the lights at three o'clock the next morning.
Already the stage that was set up on the second floor has been removed to the first floor of the gymnasium and is being erected and decorated for the presentation of the farce.
The managers of the Prom will be at the checkstand tomorrow to exchange tickets for the receipts given out by the members of the committee and positively no dates will be received after six o'clock tomorrow evening.
After the farce is over the people will go to the second floor of the gymnasium where they will go down the receiving line and the Grand March will then take place. At 8:15 o'clock the director of the orchestra will give the final word for the first dance of the evening. The program consists of twenty-four dances, which includes several feature dances.

Mrs. W. C. Payne will not speak to the girls of the Y. W. C. A. tomorrow afternoon as announced.
LIBERTY, EQUALITY AND FRATERNITY
THESE SHOULD BE OBSERVED IN ESSENTIAL THINGS.
"Ignorant Foreigner" is Not Root of All Evil—True Social Equality.
The second of the Charles Zueblin lectures was delivered this afternoon. His subject was "The Training of the Citizen." He said in part:
"The characteristics of a democracy have given us liberty, equality, and fraternity. These do not exist any more in this country. There is much said about the liberty, of the press, of church, of corporations, etc. Yet it is almost a sacrilege to use the word liberty. Is the average working man allowed to be a man? Does the average worker put his best into his work? And if not, why not? Because he cannot do so this world of subdivided labor.
"The definition Lincoln gave of a democracy 'a government of the people, by the people and for the people,' is all right for political democracy, but not for practical democracy. It would be better described as a government of the people, by the bosses, for the corporations, in some of our large cities.
"So we should be honest and prepare our children by education, which will develop their personalities, teach them that power of expression by the intelligent use of eyes and hands, which will develop adaptibility. The capacity of adjusting oneself to circumstances is one of the prerequisites of good citizenship. 'The chief reason for bad municipal government in the United States is that the average man does not control his destiny in his work. Work today does not encourage that. In this world of subdivided labor, just a little fragment of a man is called into use and then suddenly on the one day of the three hundred and sixty-five, the one great day of our nation, we expect him to come forth and be a full man."
"Equality does not exist as expressed in our every day life. We profess to believe in social equality, but the most insignificant white man does not think the greatest and best negro is his equal. We bluff ourselves into the belief that the 'ignorant foreigner' is the root of all our trouble. Why, then, Milwaukee, which is mostly made up of foreigners, a better governed city than Philadelphia? Why are the so-called grand, old American states, Rhode Island and Connecticut, rivalled only by Pennsylvania in corruption? Ten good good men in any community could control an election if you could only get them out. People of means are no more worthy of confidence than the others are. We are all guilty of class consci-

TWO STUDENTS HELD UP
Mysterious Assailant Flourished Gun on Porch of House
The latest of a series of troublesome attacks and holdups of which students of the University have been the victims occurred Saturday night, when Miss Florence Bottiger a special in the School of Fine Arts, and Will Moore, a junior in the College, were held up by a masked man on the porch of the former's rooming place at 1016 Ohio street.
No attempt at robbery was made, and the motive of the attack is unknown. Residents along that portion of Ohio street have been troubled from time to time with prowlers, and this latest incident has caused considerable worry and excitement.
They had returned home from a party at a late hour, and as Moore was taking his leave a masked man vaulted over the railing of the porch, thrust a revolver into his face and commanded him to go. Before he could either comply with the command, or attack his assailant, the young woman's screams brought two inmates of the home to the porch. Seeing himself unable to cope with so large a number, the intruder covered them all with his weapon, telling them not to move and backed away around the north side of the house.

A seeming apathy and general disinterestedness among the players characterizes the spring football practice. Ten men report at intermittent times and the results of the practices thus far are nil. The question that naturally arises is why there is not more enthusiasm manifested and why some results can not be obtained from the spring workout. The management can hardly be blamed for the condition. Ample coaching facilities have been provided and the hours of practice have been set. The matter seems to be checked up to the players themselves. Evidently the men who were on the team last year consider spring training unnecessary and the freshmen consider their chances for the team next year will not be helped by any spring practice. There ought to be some interest shown in the practice. Other schools have shown that it is a wonderful help in turning out champion teams and if there is anything that will help us we ought to take advantage of it.
The lectures by Dr. Charles Zueblin on "The Twentieth Century City" are delightful and interesting expositions of one of the great questions before the American public today. Dr. Zueblin is an authority on the development of the city and he has studied the citizen and the city from every angle. Without question he is one of the most forceful speakers who has ever addressed a University audience. His lectures are surcharged with pertinent remarks and his talks are made more interesting because of the lack of the manuscript that always throws a cold chill over a University audience when it is produced. The lecture yesterday was not well attended and it is hoped that for the remaining addresses the student body will show the interest that these lectures merit.
Engineers Are Entertained.

SHOT GUN RECOVERED
Secretary Brown Finds Weapon Somewhat Injured.
The ninety dollar shot gun which was lost by Edw. E. Brown secretary and purchasing agent of the University, when his canoe capsized while he was hunting at Lake View some weeks ago, has been recovered. The gun was lost in about eight feet of water, and was recovered by the use of long handeled rakes. The woodwork was considerably swelled, and the finish on the barrel somewhat injured, but the weapon will still be of use.
Verein Postponed.
The program to be given at the Deutsche Verein yesterday was postponed for two weeks on account of Professor Zueblin's lecture given in chapel at that time.

REV. L. P. POWELL SPOKE
Massachusetts Visitor Discussed Paul's Message.
Rev. L. P. Powell of Northampton, Mass., who is visiting the schools of higher learning in the United States to secure data concerning the religious attitude and the nature of the instruction in them, spoke briefly in chapel yesterday morning. His theme was Christ's love as stated in the message of Paul to the Corinthian church: "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
"When we who are all more or less hero worshippers are disappointed in some friend," said Dr. Powell, "we are in a measure made sin for those we love. Thus in an infinitely greater measure Christ manifested his love by his suffering for mankind. We may be loved into goodness and it was for this that Jesus lived and died to show how he loved his people."
Lilacs Popular Posies
Rules or no rules, flowers are attractive in the spring. Just now one of the most popular places on the campus, where strolling couples spend some of their precious moments is the iliac hedge to the east of Fraser hall. Sunday the Campus was visited by a great many people and each one carried away at least one sprig of the purple iliac; some even carried off bunches.
Speak at Kansas City
William Caldwell and Ralph Spotts addressed the morning audience of the Linwood Presbyterian church in Kansas City Sunday. They spoke on phases of University life. They addressed the Young People's meeting a week ago and it was because of the interest they aroused at this meeting that the men were recalled.
An exchange of professors in alternate years between Harvard University and France has been proposed. If this arrangement is concluded, the first exchange will be made next year. The ministry of public instruction of the French government will choose the professor from France, and will designate the university to which the professor from Harvard University will be sent. For their stay of one-half year the exchange professors are to become active members of the faculties of the universities to which they are sent and are to conduct regular courses within the universities.
An effort toward beautifying the campus has been initiated at the University of Michigan. Dead or diseased trees will be removed. An attempt will be made to close paths which have been worn across the lawn, and ornamental shrubs and flower beds will be set out.

COLUMBIA SYSTEM OF DORMITORIES
MEMBER OF FACULTY DES CRIBES ARRANGEMENT.
Two $250,000 Structures There Modern Equipment and Telephones in Use
The recent plans which have been adopted towards the establishment of a system of dormitories in the University of Kansas have aroused the interest of the students in the system of dormitories in use in other large universities.
The State University of Georgia has not long ago completed the establishment of a system of dormitories, and Columbia University in New York city has dormitories for both men and women. The Kansan is able to give an account of the dormitory system at Columbia University as described by a member of the faculty who was a student and instructor at that institution for four years before coming to Kansas.
The dormitory system there comprises two great halls, the Livingston and Harley halls, that were donated to the University by some rich members of the alumni. Each one of these structures is reputed to have cost $250,000. The buildings are nine stories high and will accommodate three hundred students with an average number of two rooms for the student. There are suites of two and three rooms with possible four room suites that can be formed by combinations of the other suites and each building has fifteen or twenty single rooms. All are heated by steam. In the bedroom of each suite, the student has hot and cold water while each floor is fitted with shower baths. All the lighting is done by electricity. Mission furniture of massive build and in perfect taste furnishes all the suites. The bedrooms also have a large wardrobe and a thoroughly sanitary iron couch. All bed linen is supplied by the dormitory management and towels are changed every day. The doors to the rooms are of heavy oak which, when closed, cut off the sound from the outside. The floors in the halls are of pebbled concrete and the flooring of the rooms is rift oak, which is very highly polished, and are built perfectly solid to prevent any echoing in the building. There is a double system of stairs in each structure and the elevator runs night and day with an elevator underneath for the purpose of carrying baggage to the floors.
Every day at least before 11:00 o'clock, the rooms are thoroughly dusted and cleaned in the minimum of time. The floors are kept immaculately clean and oiled. Telephone service is on each floor and arrangements are being made for the installation of private phones for such students as wish them.
The halls of the building were built fire-proof and one of the stair cases at the end of the building was cut off from the remainder by heavy fire-proof doors which would prevent the two flights of stairways creating a draft and in case of fire, make it possible for escape from the building.
On the first floor of each Hall is a huge lobby, about 100 by 100 feet, taking up half of the floor space of this story. Dark red stones flag the floor and a dozen
huge oak pillars, twenty feet high, support the ceiling. At one end of this magnificent room is a fire-place about five feet deep, eight feet high and eight feet wide. This is finished in Georgian marble and during the winter months large wood fire is lighted. About the lobby are many heavily cushioned mission oak chairs and lounges, capable of accommodating two hundred men. A piano is also placed in this room.
A portion of the space of this floor is taken up by a few single rooms and numerous telephone booths. The manager's office, sub-postoffice, local express station, and the local laundry station are also on this floor. There are two large reception rooms for the ladies that are well furnished. In the basement are located the furnaces, trunk-rooms and other general store rooms.
Next week the management of the dormitories will be described.

The Sigma Chis started the scoring in the second inning, when Coolidge, Scott, Ward and Harlan each crossed the pan. Both the Phi Psi scores were made by Campbell, who held down catch, his regular position on the freshman nine. Wilson pitched a steady game for the Sigma Chis. Delaney threw a good game but the nine errors made back of him and hits at opportune times forced the runs over the plate.
In the first game of the Panhellenic league, the Sigma Chis defeated the Phi Psis on MeCook field yesterday afternoon by the score of 8 to 2. The game as characterized by many errors on both sides. The Sigma Chis fielded the ball cleanly, a fact which was in no small measure responsible for the victory. The ability of the Sigs to hit the ball and the inability of the Phi Psis to hit safely determined the result of the game.

The entire library of Miss Mary Willing Paul has been left to the University of Pennsylvania as a memorial to her brother, Dr James Paul. The collection which was started by Miss Paul's father, Comegys Paul, consists of about 5,000 volumes and is one of the most valuable individual gifts the university library has received. The library is rich in works on history, geography and travel; in old editions of some of the early English and French authors, and especially in editions of some of the early English dramatists. There are a number of valuable old German books and large illustrated volumes or art and archaeology.
According to statistics taken in the graduating class at the Yale Sheffield Scientific School, that college is in favor of the adoption of the honor system. The class is pretty well divided on the question, but 130 men voted for it as against 100 opposed to it the remainder of the class not expressing any opinion.
Harvard and Yale undergraduates are seeking a meeting on field and track with the combined teams of Oxford and Cambridge Universities the coming summer. If the meeting is brought about it is planned to have the games on the Queen's Club grounds, London, in July.

SATURDAY A BAD DAY
83 1t
The Medal Stroke Was 99 by Jones.
The scores of the contestants in the medal tournament held Saturday afternoon by the Oread Golf Club were very much affected by the bad weather. Saturday morning a rain made the course dead and a stroke which on a good day would have netted 175 yards was reduced to 150. Dr.H. T. Jones won the tournament with a medal score of 99. The strokes taken by the other players over the eighteen holes were. Sterling 100, Patterson 102, Newton 105, Boynton 111, Briggs 111, Crawford 116, Johnson 117, Davis 120, Brodhead 122 and Raymond 127.
The University links have been lengthened recently and the bogie of 36 strokes for the nine hole course will probably soon be increased to 40. The Oread club is becoming very active this spring and will have the Topeka Golf club down within the next two weeks. The University golfists were defeated at Topeka some weeks ago and will endeavor to redeem themselves. M. W. Sterling, the captain of the local club, has received a letter from the Leavenworth County club for a series of games. One game will be played here and one in Leavenworth if the arrangements can be made. The challenging team is composed largely of army officers.
At the University of Pennsylvania the official pin is sold only on presentation of the student's matriculation card.

IMPROVE CITIES IS PRESENT SPIRIT
DR. CHAS. ZUEBLIN TRACES CIVIC GROWTH.
Social Reform Comes From Below—Civic Progress From Top Scientific Charity on Increase
The first of a series of five lectures on the subject "The Modern City" to be given this week by Dr. Charles Zueblin of Boston was delivered in chapel yesterday afternoon. His subject was: "The New Civic Spirit." The lecture in condensed form follows:
"Social evolution may be imperceptible to the participants, and yet the social ideals of the new generation may be incomprehensible to the passing generation. This is notably true of the new social spirit.
"Twenty years ago there were but three avenues for the citizens who wanted to be of social service—the church, the school, and charity. These were dismal to the man who really wanted to help his fellow man. Respectable people thirty years ago were not supposed to be interested in politics, but today no right minded person feels that a stigma has been placed upon him by entering politics. Any man who holds himself too good to go into politics is not fit to enter the church. Today there is a new civic spirit in the church. It is beginning to talk about the vital things of life
"In 1853 a woman organized the first village improvement society in Stockbridge, Mass. Today there are twenty-five hundred of them. Progress along sanitary lines in the city has been rather slow. Not until 1869 did Milwaukee establish the first public bath in the country. The pressure that has brought about these changes has come from the masses of the people. It has had many expressions.
"Already the social settlement, university extension, and scientific charity have been transplanted from English to American soil and they flourish. The school house open day and night, and free lectures for the people are inevitable growths and the professional beggar, and the pauperized dependent are no longer popular for science has put the Good Samaritan out of business. Pure democracy and equality has been aroused to action in the minds of the twentieth century men of business.
"These are all the results of the new civic spirit. In order to accomplish anything, our civic spirit must get below the surface. It is from adversity, idleness, and discontent that we get our thorough-going reform. If social reform comes from below, civic progress comes from the top. To it are necessary prosperity, leisure, and culture. Among the great achievements of democracy is the conception of the building of the city. This will be accomplished when the citizen is inspired by the New Civic Spirit.
"The main idea now in the ascendant is not to improve the poor nor the homes of the poor but to improve the cities the home of all. With this physical improvement will come aesthetic and spiritual improvement, a deeper knowledge of the needs of the masses and a democratic sympathy and organization which will be irresistable."

WRESTLERS BEAT Y. M. C. A
But K. C. Swimmers Repeat Former Victory.
Wrestlers of the University of Kansas made a clean sweep in the three matches with Y. M. C. A. grapplers at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday night, but the association swimmers evened up matters by defeating the K. U. swimmers, 46 to 13. The Kansas swimming team was composed of only four members, but they put up a game fight. Dr. W. L. Gist refereed the events, and a crowd of four hundred persons witnessed the contest. The summary:
Wrestling—Bantam weight: L. M. Allison, K. U., defeated Kovasovich, Y. M. C. A., in $ 6 \frac{1}{2} $ minutes.
Lightweight: Easterday, K. U., won the decision over Harding, Y. M. C. A., in 42 minutes.
Middleweight: K. Roberts, K. U., won the decision over B. P. Joyce, Y. M. C. A., in 55 minutes.
Swimming—Forty-five feet; won by Heath, Y. M. C. A.; Stley, Y. M. C. A., second; Davis, K. U. third. Time, 6 2-5 seconds.

ousness, and it takes an effort to get away from it. The illuminating lesson of Judge Lindsey's election in Denver shows that the women in the humbler walks of life, such as those who supported the Judge, can be better morally and politically than the society woman, who with the corporations, worked against the great friend of the children. We don't allow women to vote. Workingmen are unrepresented in Congress. Equality of citizenship—you may find it somewhere, but not in America!
"Fraternity is to be found in, but not among the churches; among, but not always in the clubs. Women's clubs were formerly mere cliques, although they are expanding and are today standing for greater social advancement than any clubs of men. The more kinds of places where you can meet more kinds of people, the better your soul and the greater your fraternal spirit. Fraternity is one object of the church, the club, the settlement, the public library, the public schoolhouse, but these are only doing part of their work. It is a crime to shut the schoolhouse in the afternoon and evening and on Sundays. Everyone ought to be allowed to go in there at any time. Is there anything comparable to every community in the country having its own guild-hall, where all may gather? Here is the incipient public life of the people. The expansive life may be developed in all people of all ages, when all over the country we open up these common centers of life.
"If then we cannot have liberty, equality, and fraternity in all things, let us have them in the essential things; liberty for the worker in his work, equality for the citizen in citizenship, and fraternity for men and women in associations to advance our civic good."

AGGIES TAKE LAST.
Pollom Pitched Great Game Saturday Afternoon.
Kansas and the Aggies broke even on the two series of baseball games that have been played, but the Farmers took the last game of the series Saturday afternoon. The score of the last contest was 3 to 1. The defeat of the Jayhawkers is attributed, in a measure, to the great pitching that Pollom did for his team. He struck out ten of the thirty-one men who faced him and allowed only three hits, two of which were of the scratch variety. McCarty worked in good form for the Kansans but allowed six hits which coming at critical times allowed the Aggies to score.

KANSAS TOOK THIRD.
But Some of the Records Look Good.
In one of the fastest track meets that has been held this year and the first of the series of outdoor meets among the schools of the Missouri Valley, Kansas tied with Chicago University for third place, with five points in the Relay Carnival at Des Moines Saturday afternoon. Missouri won first with a score of 11 points and Illinois University was a close second with ten to her credit. The athletes of the first four teams clearly outclassed those of all the other schools entered in the University class.
Although Kansas won only one third and two seconds in the meet of four races, work that was done by the Jayhawker men promises that some of the records of the Missouri Valley stand in danger. Don Davis and "Bobby" Roberts were spectacular runners for Coach Hamilton's squad. Davis brought the crowd in the stands to their feet in the final spurt of the half mile relay with a dash that won third place for his team. Osborne, Kraus , Watson, and Patterson easily won the second place in the four mile relay.
The summary :
Two-Mile University—Illinois, first, Missouri second, Kansas third. Time 8:17 2-5.
Four-Mile Collegiate Relay— Des Moines College first, Cornell second, Morningside third. Time, 19.41 3-5.
One-Mile College—Coe first,
Morningside second, Cornell
third. Time 3:36 3:5.
Four-Mile University—Missouri first, Kansas second, Ames third. Time, 18:56.
Half-Mile Collegiate—South Dakota first, Coe second, Morningside third. Time, 1:36 1-5.
Two-Mile Collegiate—South Dakota first. Cornell second. Highland Park third. Time, 8:40 1-5.
Half-Mile University—Illinois first, Drake second, Kansas third. Time, 1:31 3-5.
Frank Merrill, of Paola, and Stan Meyers, of Kansas City, spent Sunday at the Phi Psi house.

ALL ENTRIES MADE IN SATURDAY MEET
FRESHMEN AND JUNIORS EXPECT TO WIN.
From all present indications many University records will be broken by the class athletes in the interclass track and field meet Saturday afternoon on McCook field. Several men in the University have made marks in practice that are superior to those of the University records and only a favorable day is necessary to make possible a brilliant line of records.
Management Believes That Many Records Will be Broken in Interclass Meet.
Last year, the victory of the meet went to the first year men by a large score, but this Saturday the captains of the other teams say that the tyros will have to work hard for all they get and that they will do well to obtain any of the firsts. The contest for places in the hurdle races and in the 220 yard dash, the quarter mile, and the half mile will be close. It is expected that the records in some of these events will be broken and all the classes are trying to place in the finals. For the first year men, Perry, Hazen, Jones, and Hendriekson will run the hurdles; Sterling and Hesse will run for the sophomores; the Woodburys, French, and D. Davis will handle the sticks for the junior class and Parker and Hamilton will start for the seniors.
The places in the broad jump belongs to the class that makes the best showing this week.

BASEBALL TIES WITH M. U.SEVERED
TIGERS DISLIKE OUR VERSION OF THE RULES.
Telegram This Afternoon From C L. Brewer Dispels Last Doubt. Nebraska Approves.
A telegram was received this afternoon by Manager Lansdon from C. L. Brewer, director of Athletics at the University of Missouri, stating that the University of Missouri baseball team would not come to Lawrence under any condition.
This was the final word in the rupture between the two universities regarding baseball connections. The games with the Tigers which were to have been played on Friday and Saturday of this week will not be played.
Yesterday evening the statement was made that probably the games would be cancelled with Missouri, but the final settlement of the difficulty did not come until this afternoon, when Manager Brewer of Missouri received advice from Columbia to the effect that he must not bring the team here.
This break in the baseball connections between the schools comes as the result of the decision of the athletic management of Missouri to disapprove the action of Kansas Athletic Board and faculty council in disregarding the ruling of the Missouri Valley conference upon the eligibility of the players. After the action of the Athletic Board had been confirmed by the University Council Dr. C. E. McClung sent letters to the other members of the council explaining our position in baseball and stating that those rules were the only way in which we could certify our men as eligible. The management at Nebraska replied commending the University very highly upon our taking the initiative and making the change, but Tuesday morning Dr. McClung received a telegram from Dr. Manlay of the University of Missouri saying that since the contract for the baseball games with them had been made under the conference rules, the two institutions could not agree to suspend the rules.
Dr. McClung said yesterday afternoon, "It was exactly the result that I expected when I sent out the letters describing our alterations in the eligibility regulations."
George Brown, a junior engineer from Pleasanton, has been pledged by the Pi Upsilon fraternity.
PETITIONS ARE SCARCE
Must Be In By Six Tomorrow Evening.
The petitions for members and officers of the Student Council are slow in being filled out. Two petitions have been handed in for the office of president—those of Hal Harlan and Arch McKinnon. Albert Lemoine and Elmer Manglesdorf are circulating petitions for secretary and John Johnson and Earl Miller are now having petitions circulated for the position of vice-president.
The following men are in the running in the College: Carl Krehbeil, William Buzick, Harry Weaver, George Stuckey, Elmer Dittmar, Asher Hobson, Everett Brummage, and Jesse Gephart.
In the Pharmacy school, Ernest Smith and Harold Bradley are candidates. R. Lee Hoffman and Ralph Campbell are candidates in the School of Medicine.
From the Law school, George Beezley, Burton Sears and Charles Dolde are the only candidate at present. Karl Riddle and Harry Becker and Roy Finney are circulating petitions in the Engineering school.
According to a ruling of the Student Council each candidate must deposit with the president of the council the sum of fifty cents to defray the election expenses. Unless this sum is paid the names will not be placed upon the official ballot. The candidates are requested to attend to this matter before Friday.
No petitions for any of the offices will be received after 6.00 p.m.
m. tomorrow.
Professor Zueblin in Chapel.
"Industrial Education" will be the subject of Professor Zueblin's address in chapel tomorrow morning. "I am in hearty sympathy with Governor Stubbs' plan for a larger amount of vocational training in schools," said Professor Zueblin yesterday. "The education which trains the mind without training the hand and eye is only half an education."
The Pi Upsilon fraternity celebrated its second annual Founders day with a banquet at the fraternity house last evening. Initiation was held for Gordon Bailey and Insley Dayhoff. The out of town guests were Bishop Sheldon M. Griswold, Salina; Leo Bozell, Beloit; William Fleason, Sterling; and Virgil McCarty, Kansas City.
The lecture by Prof. Zueblin will be at four o'clock instead of four-thirty on Friday on account of the Junior Prom.
NO MORE SMOKING IN K.U.BUILDINGS
REGENTS WILL ASK AID OF STUDENT COUNCIL
Because State Buildings Carry No Insurance And Risk of Fire is Serious—Regents Act.
The death blow to all smoking in University buildings was given by the Board of Regents yesterday afternoon, when by passing a resolution asking the Student Council to co-operate with them in preventing smoking in all University buildings the lid was formally put on. Last spring the chancellor ordered all smoking in the buildings and approaches of buildings to cease. The new regulation was observed only in part as the students in the law school have continued the practice and many of the faculty members have continued to smoke in their laboratories. Last year also many students were seen smoking at the Junior Prom and cigarette smoking has been carried on in a stealthy way in the gymnasium this year.
No state buildings carry insurance and the recent serious losses in other states have aroused the regents to the gravity of the situation.
If the Student Council co-operates with the regents in this new movement, no smoking whatever in any of the University buildings will be allowed to continue.
Other business transacted yesterday by the board of regents include the decision of the regents to continue the same university fellowships next year as this, but the names of the successful applicants will not be announced until the end of the year.
On account of lack of funds the museum will not be open to the public on holidays and Sundays as is required by a late state law. A committee consisting of Foley, Elward, and Kimball, was appointed to visit the state fish hatcheries at Pratt and report the result of their investigations to the board.
The bid for the heating plant at the University hospital at Rosedale was opened yesterday but action was deferred.
The budget was not disposed of yesterday.
Sherwin Made a Professor.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents yesterday, R. W. Sherwin, who has been selected to direct the football and baseball teams of the University, was made a member of the department of Education.

TABLE MANNERS WHILE YOU WAIT.
Forsooth it must be said that the old order of things changeth. In the years that have passed we were wont to associate with the tiller of the soil a man who had a marked propensity to snore while eating and an inordinate desire to consume huge quantities of his favorite Horse Shoe. But this traditional agriculturist is fading into the dim, dim past and he is gradually making way for a more enlightened and cultured generation. Several weeks ago reports were sent out from our sister institution at Manhattan that at a meeting of the senior boys it was decided to entirely dispense with sword swallowing and various other forms of athletics at meals and for the entire class to receive instruction in the proper way in which to manipulate the hitherto unused fork and to be initiated into the mysteries of just when to use the right spoon. Their efforts towards becoming models of etiquette were heralded with delight by a long abused world and as far as we know now our farmer brothers at Manhattan are making great progress.
But not to be outdone by Kansas, a number of other colleges have installed a department of table manners and now one can learn the game while he waits. Governor Stubbs has declared that we must have more practical things in our schools and certainly the attitude taken by the state schools toward the simple matter of eating will meet with his unbounded approval.
The Athletic Board election was the most closely contested election that has been held in the University for years. The two factions that are always prevalent at any election were in evidence and the results showed the honors were about evenly distributed between the two tickets. The fight was one of the greatest in the history of the school and the largest vote that has ever been cast at any University election was polled Tuesday. The backers of the two tickets are to be congratulated on the clean fight that was made. As far as is known there was no ill-feeling shown by either side. A school election is always an interesting thing and the contest on Tuesday clearly demonstrated that an election can be held that will bring out school spirit that can work only for the good of the University.
Starting the Junior Prom at six o'clock this year, is an innovation that ought to be given a thorough trial by the student body. The managers of the Prom realize that the idea is not popular generally but circumstances this year compelled them to try to complete the dancing by three o'clock. In order to give the idea a fair test there should be prompt attendance by all those who intend to see the farce. The faree is to begin at 6:15 o'clock and as we have a half holiday in order to prepare for the event there is no reason why everybody cannot be in their seats by that time. The Prom means a lot of work for a lot of people and those who are to enjoy an entertainment of the nature of the Prom should see that there is no inconvenience caused by any delay on their part in getting to the place on time.
WHY MATH. IS UNPOPULAR
Prof. J. W. Young Believes Public Should be Interested.
"Mathematics is not a popular science," said Prof. J. W. Young of the department of mathematics in his chapel address on Tuesday morning, "not in the sense of like or dislike but in the amount of interest shown by the general public.
The public press does not report recent discoveries in mathematics, and there is also very little reference to mathematical subjects in current magazines. An eminent mathematician held that the definition of mathematics is a science in which we never know what we are talking about, and which we never know what we say is true." Professor Young explained non-utilian geometry.
"Your imagination is necessary," he said, "in order to understand this particular kind of geometry. Suppose the world is enclosed with a large sphere, the temperature in the sphere changes, and it is the greatest at the center, and decreases to zero at the boundary. Thus if a man is walking to his barn, he will need to take fewer steps if he swerves toward the center instead of following the straight line."
In conclusion, the professor mentioned the coincidence of the birthday of Professor Kline of the University of Gottingen, an eminent mathematician, coming on the same day as that on which the speech was delivered.
Roy Burdick, a graduate of the University who is teaching science in the Iola high school, visited at the University Saturday and Sunday.

KICKS.
I wish to register a kick on the manner in which the sanitary drinking fountain in Fraser hall is attended by the persons in charge, whoever they may be. For some unaccountable reason the stream is turned so low that one cannot drink without touching his lips to the edge of the fountain. I do not believe that it was the intention of the inventor that the water, by a supreme effort of the lungs, be sucked up from the bowels of the earth, nor that it was his idea to invent a water-saving device.
At present there are ninety million germs of various sizes shapes, and colors inhabiting the edge of the drinking machine. I counted them this morning.
It may be of interest to the authorities to know that water has been recently placed upon the free list. Lets profit by the change. I.M.DRY.
TEST LUNGS AND HEART
Gym. Students Are Put Through Course of Trials.
Yesterday afternoon members of the class in Anthropometry were examined by means of various tests. The first test which the boys were subjected to was one of reaction to sight, sound and touch. The machine used for this purpose had two keys which released a couple of pendulums. As soon as the contestant saw a piece of paper move he pressed the key and released the pendulum. The other pendulum was released simultaneously with the moving of the paper. The number of swings necessary for the two pendulums to swing together represented the reaction of the athlete. Those students who were normal had about the same reaction for each of the powers tested. A few abnormal conditions were met with. One student had a sight and hearing reaction of twenty and a touch of fourteen.
The lung capacity of the men ranged from 150 pounds to 350. In the weight lifting one of the gym students pulled 350 pounds. The test of the gripping strength was between 35 and 60. The heart beat of the men was taken before working out and again after the contestants had worked to exhaustion in order to get the heart acceleration. One of the most powerful men had a heart beat of 90 before working and 172 after working. The acceleration was 82. The fact that the average acceleration of all the students was about fifty shows the abnormal condition of the heart. No tests were taken yesterday by the measurements in weights or height. The work of the Anthropometers will continue until every student in the gymnasium classes has been examined.

Miss Mary E. Tupper has written an article which has been accepted for publication in an early number of the "Kansas Magazine." The article is about three thousand words in length, is to be illustrated by photographs, and is called "Some Interesting Facts About Haskell Institute." The paper was first written in a freshman rhetoric course of the College, and was later developed by Miss Tupper on the advice of the instructor, W. A. Wattles.

CITY INCREASE WAS NOT ANTICIPATED
CONSTITUTION FRAMERS DID NOT FORSEE CONDITIONS
Editors Lawyers and Clergy Re sponsible For City Government Universal Suffrage in Future
In his fourth lecture delivered this afternoon Dr. Charles Zueblin traced the course of municipal progress from the framing of the constitution to the present time. He said in brief:
The hope of American politics lies in the evolution of municipal government. The rapid increase of urban population was not anticipated by the framers of the American constitution. There has consequently been a constant experimentation in charter making, with predominately futile results. In course of time, however, the simple principle has emerged that the charter should be adapted to the functions of the city.
The first consequence of establishing the government of a new country on the principle of a new constitution which made no provision for the administration of cities, was that the constant erudacy of citizenship expressed itself in a chaos of charters. Whenever a municipal government has proved ineffective, enthusiastic municipal reformers have begun tinkering with the charter without any well devised political philosophy, and without trying to make the existing charter more effective. The original plan of municipal government borrowed from the mother country, was the simple one of a council, a central, representative, all powerful body, unemembered by any cheeks or vetoes, such as make national and state governments ineffectual.
This council, called "selectmen"—or by some other designation in different parts of the country—retained its integrity only a little while, when its service proved unsatisfactory. The first modification suggested was the addition of a mayor, with minor executive functions, but with the power of veto over legislation. There was thus introduced what was regarded as a correlative force for the impulsiveness or inadequacy of the councilmen, but it proved to be the first of the destructive forces, making city government increasingly ineffectual.
There are three classes of citizens that are responsible for the manner in which the government of a city is conducted. They are the business men (including lawyers), the clergy and the editors. These citizens generally fail in the accomplishment of their civic duties through fear of business consequences. They have not the courage to do what they know is right. The business men are afraid of the interests in which their financial success is concerned. The clergy are afraid of offending their influential parishioners, and the editors are afraid of their advertisers.
The general tendency in charter making has been toward home rule and simplicity, but with even an exaggerated emphasis on the separation of the legislative and executive. This results in giving the mayor large powers, such as he has in the city of New York, defended by many people on the ground that one man power is the source of all success in the great private corporations. The breaking down of that last device of despair has facilitated recognition of the admirable results achieved through the frank abandonment of all this American tradition, such as one finds in Galveston and other Texas cities, and, more recently, in Des Moines. The flood which destroyed Galveston left the people of that city in industrial and political chaos. To build a new city on the ruins of the old, among the distracted and discouraged people, it was proposed to have what is called a commission, of five
men, to whom should be entrusted all the municipal functions. It is unfortunate that the term "commission" has been applied to this form of government as commissions in America suggest those supernumerary organizations intervening to do the work left undone, or badly done, by council and mayor. This Galveston plan is, in fact, a reversion to council government, such as one sees in Great Britain. Under the pressure of an emergency, these cities have compromised on a very small council, whose performance can easily be observed. Experience will doubtless lead to the enlargement of this council, in larger cities; but the step is epoch making.
There is a prospect that in the near future many American cities will be governed by universal suffrage which, with direct legislation and unharmed administrative methods, under the pressure of growing municipal functions and lofter civic ideals promises to mark the development of truly democratic municipal administration. The ideal cherished by many municipal reformers today is that one which is happily set forth in the titles of two of the most notable books on municipal questions,—"The City for the People," and "The City, the Hope of Democracy."

STUDENTS CONTROL IN DORMITORIES
AT COLUMBIA AN ELECTED COMMITTEE RULES.
All Disputes Between Boarders is Referred to Board—Snokers and Rushes Given.
In this the second series on eastern dormitories, which is told by one who is acquainted with conditions there, the management of the dormitories described.
The management of these dormitories is under the superintendent of buildings and grounds of the entire University. The man immediately in charge of the hall is a local superintendent who is present in his office most of the day. The rooms are engaged from him; the keys are given by him; and all complaints are lodged with him. The payment of bills is made to the Bursar of the University, the bills coming from the office of the local superintendent. Under this official are the porter, who attends to the trunks, the laundry representative, grand chamber-maid, maids and elevator boys. The superintendent also gives out the mail to the students at his office.
The element of student control over the conduct of the students of the dormitory is exercised by the Hall Committee which is elected every semester. It is composed of students elected by universal suffrage of all in the Hall, the members of each floor electing their representative to the committee. This committee meets at stated intervals and receives complaints from the local superintendent and the students and discusses the troublesome situations that occasionally arise between students between the management and students or between the students and the help. The decision of the committee is sent to the general superintendent of buildings and grounds who usually acts on their recommendations. This council investigates the bad conduct of any of the occupants of the rooms the representative from each floor being held responsible for the order preserved on his individual floor The superintendent always refers questions concerning the discipline of the occupants of the rooms to the Hall Committee. All the students' smokers rallies bon-fires, flag rushes, football games, tennis matches, relay races and other athletic affairs between the members of the Hall are also managed by the Hall Committee.

Yesterday afternoon the subject of Prof. Zueblin's address in chapel was "The Making of the City." He discussed questions of city charters and city morality. A condensed report of his address follows :
"We talk about charters, but they are secondary to the real work to be done. The actual making or building of the city so that it will best serve the inhabitants is the fundamental problem.
"The standard of morality is not tested by the number of churches. We go to church, presumably to be made good, and while there are on our good behavior. It is not tested in our home, where we are, perhaps, more than ordinarily kindly. It is not tested in the schools. It is tested in the streets. If there are immoral women on the streets, if there are immoral conditions on the streets, if streets are foul and unclean, so are the people. We may have spiritual aspirations above the conditions manifested upon our highways and maintain that our hearts are pure. That the hearts can not be pure if the streets are dirty, any more than the lungs can be pure. Our streets present the pressing problem of the United States. Upon the streets is indebly impressed our character as citizens."
The most dominant factor in city construction is transportation. It is the provision for it that determines the location of cities, and it is more important than any other business because changes in transportation facilities can change the business of a city. It is a crime to permit interurban trolley cars to enter our city streets. They should be compelled to come in either overhead or underground. In ten years we will be having the same problems that we are having now with the railroads about grade crossings Before long these electric companies will be absorbed by the steam roads and we will have only a unit to deal with and we will be relieving that unit of its own problem by compelling coordination.
"City streets should be encumbered by no poles except those to support the lights. Conduits for wires should be built by the city, preferably beneath the curb when galleries in the subways are not used, and leased to the companies. Many of us have read with admiration of the underground sewer system of Paris. What an advance it would be if in American cities such a system were installed, including one ample conduit for pipes, light, telephone, telegraph, and the alarm wires. Lighting poles should be models of beauty, like some in Los Angeles, which has the three best lighted streets in the world, with bronze standards supporting clusters of incandescent lamps.

REGULATIONS FOR PROM
Last Instructions Given Before April 28.
Final arrangements for the Prom have been completed and the eighth annual Prom will commence.
Today the decoration committee is busily engaged in decorating the gymnasium and this evening a dress rehearsal of the Farce will be held.
There are a few students who have not obtained their tickets as yet and also a few who have not paid their fees. For the benefit of those who have not obtained their tickets, but would like to go the managers of the Prom will be at the check stand during the chapel hour Friday. This is the last chance to obtain a ticket.
There will be ample street car service to handle the crowd both coming and going consequently cabs are decidedly out of order.
Guests will enter the gym masium through the girls entrance at the northeast corner. The women's check room will be on the second floor and in the northeast corner as last year. The men's check room will be on the first floor on the left of the girls' entrance.
The guests will then proceed to the second floor through the main entrance on the north. The receiving line will be at the main entrance on the second floor and the guests are expected to go down the line immediately after the last act of the Faree.
After checking their wraps the guests will enter the main hall down stairs where the farce will be held and be seated until it is finished.
Immediately after this Harry Kelly's orchestra will start the grand march which will be led by President MaeKinnon and Miss Glendale Griffith the secretary of the class.
There will be 24 dances and the musicians' intermission will come after the eleventh dance.
The Farce will commence promptly at 6.15 and those not seated by this time will be compelled to wait until after the first act before they will be seated.

OLD ENGLISH MAY DAY
May Fete Workers Expect Out of Town Visitors.
The May Fete this year will be a reproduction of an old English May Day, and the committee in charge is working hard to make the dances and masques true in every detail to the old festival days of the time of Queen Elizabeth. The St. George play, Robin Hood, and Pyramia and Thisbe will all be given with music and costumes characteristic of the olden times. The Fete which comes on May 12 this year is the third of such affairs given at the University. It is the University Gala day. The first was given in 1908 and another in 1909.
In speaking of the May Fete one of the committee on arrangements said :
Imported human hair nets, 10c each, Kress.
"The May Day Fete has no mercenary object connected with it whatever; but is a step towards filling a need in the University for artistic out of doors productions. It is the University's place to cultivate a high taste in "up making, and we feel that the merry pageant of kings, fools, ladies with maids, and shepherdesses will go far towards putting University festivities on a high plane. We think it a good substitute for the maypole scraps of former days. This will be an excellent time for outsiders to see what the students at the University of Kansas can do, and we expect a large crowd of visitors from Kansas City, Topeka, and surrounding towns."

PROPERTIES OF ASPHALTUM TO BE INVESTIGATED
The Aurora
Armstrong & Co. of Chicago Provide $750 for One Year With $2,000 Bonus.
The argument for an Industrial Fellowship has been made by the University and confirmed by the Board of Regents at their meeting yesterday afternoon, providing for research work to be conducted at the University into the properties of asphaltum. The appointment to this fellowship has not yet been made and it is thought that it will be sometime before the Chancellor will be able to announce the name of the person receiving the assignment.
The Fellowship was established by Armstrong and company of Chicago. The income will be $750 with a bonus of $2,000 in case the discoveries made, warrant the allowance of that fund. The fellowship is to run for only one year.
BETAS AND PHI GAMES WIN
Pan-Hellenic Series Everyday This Week.
Ed. White has returned from Kansas City, where he has been confined with an attack of appendicitis.
The exclusive purpose of the Fellowship is an investigation into the possibility of bleaching asphaltum, particularly Gilsonite, and into two new uses for this Gilsonite under its new and modified form, as it may be developed during the research in soap, rubber, paper, paint, varnish, and kindred lines.
Yesterday afternoon on McCook field the Phi Gams defeated the Sig Alphs by the score of 14 to 3. The Phi Gams have a strong team this year. Steeman and Truby each got a home run. Judy, at first base played the best game for the Sig Alphs.
The game between the Phi Delta and the Betas Tuesday resulted in a victory for the latter by the score of 13 to 6. The Phi Delta protested the game because they claimed that Uhrlaub, the pitcher for the Betas, was not eligible. The Pan-hellenic council will deiete the controversy.

CAN KANSAS BEAT MISSOURI TONIGHT?
DEBATING TEAM LEFT FOR COLUMBIA YESTERDAY
Kansas Will Try to Show Inad visibility of Adopting Minimum Wage.
Tonight at Columbia, Eliot Porter and Clarence Conner will represent the University in the annual debate with Missouri. The team and Prof. G. A. Gesell left Friday morning with the material and arguments which they have gathered together during the past few months. Missouri boasts that she has not lost a debate to any institution for five years but Professor Gesell believes that his team this year can break the hoodoo.
The question which will be discussed is fair to both sides, but it a difficult one to handle. It is: "Resolved that a minimum wage should be applied in the field of the sweated industries." An explanation of the meaning of the subject was given by Professor Gesell in the chapel Thursday evening at the final rehearsal for the debate. The sweated industries are prevalent in Chicago, New York, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Milwaukee and other large cities in the United States. The sweated labor is carried on mainly in the homes of the workers and is characterized by long hours, small pay and unsanitary conditions. The low bidding which the ignorant people, who are engaged in this work, are forced to make, is causing the death of a vast number of human beings through starvation or diseases caused by a lack of sanitation.
The Tigers debaters are Marshall and Coisseau.
The Kansas speakers, who will support the negative are well versed in the subject and have clear, sound and forceful arguments. Connor, admitting that conditions should be bettered, proves that minimum wage would not cause the desired result. He presents as a more practical means the restriction of immigration. He argues that by cutting off the inflow of immigrants which form the large per centage of the sweated workers, you would get at the base of the entire trouble. Porter proves conclusively that the minimum wage cannot be administered in the United States.
The K. U. Plymouth Guild will give a social this evening at the Congregational church parlors. There will also be an important business meeting after the social when the officers for the next year will be elected.
COUNCIL DELIVER SENTENCE
Unbecoming Conduct Punished by Disfranchisement.
Following the investigation by the Men's Student Council regarding recent unbecoming conduct of a student of the University, the recommendation was made to and adopted by the University authorities, that he be expelled from the University because of his ungentlemanly conduct, and further that he be allowed to remain in school upon parole, a breach of that parole to consist of any conduct unbecoming a University student. Should the parole be broken the expulsion clause at once takes effect.
This places the student upon his own responsibility as to whether or not he shall remain in school. The Council was of the opinion that this course was advisable as has been proven by previous experiences.
The Council further decreed that the student found guilty of misconduct should be totally disfranchised and prohibited from holding any appointive or elective office in the student body for a period of one year.
STUDENTS' DAY MAY 19.
The date for Students' Day has been definitely set for May 19. The speakers for the day are: Harry Allphin, Law School; Mat Graham, Engineering School; Fred Lee, College; J.D. Cook, School of Medicine, and Charles Cramer, School of Pharmacy. The name of the speaker for the Graduate School has not been turned in to the president of the Council. Though the latter school is not a member of the Council, its members made a special request for a representative upon that day.
The athletic letters and debating emblems will be awarded on this occasion. The University Glee Club and the Band will furnish music. This program is not definite, however, and may be added to later in the manth.
JUNIOR PROM A GREAT SUCCESS
SEVEN HUNDRED ATTEND EIGHTH ANNUAL PARTY
Farce Pleased Well-Entire Prom Showed Excellent Management.
Seven hundred people attended the eighth annual Junior Prom which was held in the gymnasium last evening. In accordance with a previous announcement, there was no attempt to outdo any former party in elaborateness but the entire affair was characterized by a desire to make the Prom an enjoyable affair without any restraint. At 6:15 the orchestra started their overture for the faree and ten minutes later the doors were locked and the farce was started.
The farce this year was a two act musical comedy entitled "Milo," with a cast of fifteen principals and a male chorus of six and a co-ed chorus of seven. "Milo" is the story of an Egyptian princess in search of a husband and the usual love entanglement that comes when she visits the University of Kansas. The musical numbers included two opening choruses and four songs "Milo," "If I Fell In Love," "It's Midnight, Good Night," and "Life's a Dream." The farce was extremely clever and the cast was well trained.
Because of the regulation that none of those who were on the receiving line could be in the farce there was no delay in starting the receiving line and in getting the dance started. Those on the receiving line were Arch MacKinnon, Glendale Griffiths, Cleve Swenson, Mary Gurnea, Will Moore, Beulah Murphy, Donald McKay, and Lucie Wilkinson, Roscoe Redmond, Laura Pendleton. At 8:15 the grand march was started by Arch MacKinnon, president of the class, and Glendale Griffiths. Programs were

Student Council Will Investigate Classroom Conditions.
AGAINST DISHONESTY
A crusade has been started by the Men's Student Council against cheating in examinations. Wednesday a letter was sent to the Chancellor of the University, stating that the Men's Council would investigate all cases of dishonesty in any examination which should be reported by any faculty member or any student, and that proper punishment would be inflicted upon the offender.
This, however, is not the adoption of the "Honor system" as it is commonly known. It is the intention to punish this offense as any other breach of conduct.
Communications will be sent to all of the University organizations and societies soliciting their aid in this work, so that a sentiment may grow up in the school which shall eventually check the practice. This action will also be referred to the Woman's governing association.
TENNIS TEAM TO BAKER
The SOPHOMORE PROM May 5, Robinson Gymnasium
After working the entire winter indoors and all spring on the outdoor courts, the tennis squad is now ready to play their first tournament with another school. The first tournament that the men will enter will be the annual tangle with the men of Baker University at Baldwin Monday morning and afternoon. The singles will be played in the morning and the doubles will be played in the afternoon before the baseball game. The men will make the trip to Baldwin Monday morning in motor cars. The five members of the squad who will enter the tournament are: Hawes, Nees, Richardson, Rohrer and Motz. Nees and Rohrer will make one of the double teams and Motz and Richardson will form the other. Hawes will probably be able to enter only one of the sets of singles on account of an injury received last week.

THE JUNIOR PROM.
The eighth annual Junior Promenade fulfilled the expectations of all and was a great success. It was the intention of the managers to have nothing elaborate. The Prom last night fulfilled this desire and yet was attractive in every way. The farce was clever and was well worked out. The managers are to be congratulated on fulfillment of their announcement to begin the farce on time and to allow no one to enter during the acts. The entire Prom reflected careful management. The delay of last year in starting the farce and the delay on the receiving line was entirely eliminated this year. But probably the best evidences of management were shown in the regulation of the refreshments. Admission to the dining hall was obtained only by tickets that showed during what dances refreshments would be served. The service in the dining hall was all that could be desired. The managers of the Prom the members of the various class committees and all of those who contributed toward making the Prom the great success that it was, are to be congratulated.
NEED FOR REVISION
Just what the break in athleties between the University and the University of Missouri means is rather hard to decide. The status of baseball in the Missouri Valley is now rather doubtful. With Nebraska upholding Kansas in her rules of eligibility and Missouri refusing to play under the new rules, if we are to have baseball among the Valley schools it is plainly evident that at the next meeting of the conference there should be regulations made that will meet with the approval and sanction of all of the institutions affected.
The recent ruling of the con
ference was an injudicious way of settling a rather delicate question. With the marked difference of opinion among the schools, some institution ought to take the initiative and start a campaign for the same regulation of one of our best college sports. The cancellation of the game with Missouri is to be regretted but under conditions as they exist now, we can expect nothing more than difference of opinions until better rules are adopted.
The growth in power of the Men's Student Council is interesting. Beginning with a sort of abstract and intangible regulation of student affairs, it has gradually acquired more authority and now is enjoying the pleasurable sensation of being one of the real dominating influences in all student affairs. The question of placing a Student Council as the body to which the students shall be directly responsible, is being debated in other schools and the general results seem to verify the opinion that an institution controlled largely in its student affairs by the students is a good thing. The men of the University are not rowdies in any sense of the word and the vital questions of student life can be settled by the students themselves through their representatives. The growth of the Student Council is an encouraging sign of a movement that can only mean a better handling of student affairs.
The idea of starting the Junior Prom at six o'clock and closing at three is a good one and it ought to become a permanent feature of future Proms. It ought not be considered necessary to make the annual Promenade an all night affair. There are many people who will refuse to be converts to the idea but the success of the plan yesterday demonstrated that it is possessed of much merit.
Tonight the University meets Missouri in debate. We venture to predict that by tomorrow morning the Tigers will wish that they had severed their debating connection with Kansas because of professionalism among the contestants.
European Engineer Here
Mr. Madjestech, a noted English mining engineer spoke to the student's branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers at Marvin hall Wednesday afternoon on "The European and Russian Oilfields and Baku Fields in Particular." He is a man of unusual wide experience, having spent most of his life in this work. He is in America now inspecting the mideontinental oilfields of Oklahoma and Kansas.
The Students Branch of American Mechanical Engineers met Thursday night with Prof Walker at 1301 Ohio. Papers were read by R. H. Forney, C. L. Cogins, F. B. Develin. Lawrence Brown gave a technical report on "The Utilization of Blast Furnace Gas For Power Purposes."

Dr. Zueblin Advocates Far Reaching Industrial Education.
MANUAL TRAINING FOR ALL
"Employers, employees, and the public ought all to have a real industrial education," said Professor Charles Zueblin in his chapel address yesterday morning. "The employer is desperately in need of it for even if he rose from the ranks his duties keep him apart from a vital touch with the laborer; as the man who markets the goods he needs a broad industrial knowledge.
"Employees greatly lack in industrial education and their increasing organization with its demand for expert leaders only emphasizes their need for it. Furthermore the average American working man expects always to remain such; he should be prepared for it in the largest sense."
"I thoroughly believe that a certain amount of hand work should be required of each student every year in every kind of school," said Dr. Zueblin. "Our laws should be so unified that every child shall be practically compelled to get into the high school at least. We positively should not allow any child to work at any wage-earning business before he is sixteen years old. Though it may be revolutionary I believe that every child should be examined before he is fourteen years old to find out for what he is specially adapted. Then let him learn all subjects in relation to the one in which he has a special interest. Thus he will get something which he can remember at the same time he gets mental discipline.
"If manual training has been given in all the grades, if the student has learned philosophy, history and science in terms of metal clay, and wood," said Dr. Zueblin, "he has an excellent foundation for his technical training. One great value of a technical education is the power of adaptability that it gives."
Visits State Hatcheries.
Prof. W.C. Hoad returned Tuesday night from Pratt Kansas where he held a consultation with Prof. Dyche relative to the enlargement of the fish hatcheries.
On the way home Prof. Hoad stopped at Hutchinson and had the opportunity of inspecting their new $75,000 Y. M. C. A. building which was paid for entirely by popular subscription among the citizens. He states that it is the largest, most comfortable and usable building for the money expended that he has ever seen. The plans were drawn by A. R. Mann, a K. U. civil engineer of 1907.
Frank P. Brock, former holder of the Pfandler fellowship, spoke at the regular meeting of the Chemical Club Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Brock spoke on the subject, "The Chemical Engineer." He said, "The chemical engineer of the future must be a chemist, a business man and a mechanical engineer to make a success."

CHARACTER DECIDED EARLY
J. H. Dadisman Tells of High School Work.
J. H. Dadisman, State High School secretary for the Kansas Y. M. C. A. spoke before a large audience at the local association headquarters Thursday evening on the subject "The Younger Fellows." "Dad" has been spending all his time with the high-school fellows during the past two years and has been doing some very effective work.
Dadisman referred to the important field that is to be covered by the men going out from the University and the influence they can exercise over the boys in the High School. "The greatest problem we have today," he said, "is to get the boys interested in religious things. It is while they are in their teens that we must get them interested in the higher things in life if they are to be effective forces for good. The majority of boys have selected their life work before they enter the University and their characters are already pretty much determined. It is because of this that the University men should take hold of work that will aid them to direct the boys in their choice of companions and associations. Teachers, especially, should take hold of live ideas because of the influence they exert when among the boys in school work. In all the counties but eight are schools that train the boys for University work." To support this "Dad" produced a map worked out with red ink indicating the place from which the leaders of the future will come.
Dadisman sails for China this summer where he will take up Association work among the young men at Shanghai.

Some students seem to complain of the lack of an "Annual." On the contrary, we see no advantage arising from such a publication, to college students. They are usually weary collections of stale jokes and frat advertisements.

Prof. Zueblin Denies Excess of Immorality in City—Servant Girl Problem.
In the last of a series of five lectures delivered in chapel Professor Zueblin spoke yesterday afternoon on "The Life of the Citizen." He defined true citizenship as he sees it and discussed various special problems peculiar to the city such as industrial dependence and immorality. He said in part:
"Citizenship may be stated in terms of life values. We are in the habit of finding it stated in terms of votes, and for many people that exhausts their interest in it. There are people who state their citizenship in terms of party. Loyalty to party is to a great many people quite superior to patriotism. They would sacrifice their country to their party, as is shown by their voting for their party, right or wrong, and more commonly voting for the bad with the good, in the name of the party. Others state their citizenship in terms of money. Buying a vote at the polls is not the only monetary influence used in citizenship. There is yet another mode of stating citizenship which is a little higher than these, yet not sufficiently high. There are those who state citizenship in terms of stern duty. They regard it almost as a work of super erosion to perform this obligation of citizenship. There are self-righteous people in every community who punctiliously perform this laborious obligation Anyone who does not spontaneously enter into citizenship, not only at election time but constantly, is not a good citizen. We cannot state citizenship in anything less than life. If we do not state it in life, it is a hollow mockery.
"Citizenship does not consist in going occasionally to the polls and voting for some man, whom we do not know and perhaps never heard of, selected for us by some political machine. Citizenship should be in evidence every day in the year, every hour in the day. We provide for our waking and sleeping hours, vigilant fire and police departments and would not feel safe without them. They are never permitted to slumber. A citizen who slumbers 364 days in the year cannot atone by the penance of one day at election booths for his neglect of his civic obligations involved in the religious, intellectual, and economic problems that confront him every day.
"We hear much of the evil growing from the dependence of a community upon its industrial enterprises. The bread and butter problem makes us all more or less subject to this dependence, but the evil begins when the men who are so supremely capable of controlling their business enterprises branch from this task and seek to control citizenship. The corporation must be held within bounds. It must be allowed to control itself but not the people, and should at all times be subject to the will of the community in which it thrives.
"Coming again to human fellowship, we have in that simple expression the solution of the servant girl problem, which for years has been a serious one over this entire country. We hear
daily the cry from housewives that girls would rather slave in a factory than assume the less arduous duties of the kitchen. The reason for this is plain. In the factory there is at least a semblance of independence. The girl who eaves this is unwilling to serve under the domineering thumb of a mistress.
"The immorality of the city, while a conspicuous vice, is probably no more natural to the city man than to his cousin in the country. Intemperance in all things is a truly American feeling. In eating, drinking, playing and working, even in the matter of church going, some Americans are intemperate.
"All these things are the larger possibilities of the city misused. By their very existence they point the way to higher possibilities. Let us look on the other side of the question; if there is industrial dependence, there is also cooperation. One of the processes of the assimilation of the foreign population, is the factory system. We must eliminate the abuses, but let us recognize that when we bring people together in these great collective operations, we contribute to civilizing processes. A well ordered industry is a discipline in itself."

Students Careful About Behaviour Dormitory System Makes For Democracy.
This last of a series of articles on the dormitory system at Columbia deals with the subject of expense and advantages. If the University of Kansas should establish dormitories here the expense would be made less for the students and a closer spirit of comradeship engendered.
The expense of any of these rooms is a trifle under that of the very best than can be obtained in any of the private rooming houses in the neighborhood and for the money spent, the student easily gets twice the service that he could obtain at such a private residence. The charges for the single rooms amount to from $10 to $15 a month. The charges for the suites are in proportion to those for the single room. A good suite can be obtained for $15 a month. The lighting is paid for extra, but this amounts to very little. The lower stories are the lowest in price and as one goes up, the prices of the suites soar.
As to the behavior of the students in the halls, there is little or no so-called rough-housing, undue noise, or vandalism. Of course sometimes tin pans are let-off down the stairs, but the freshmen have to be attended to outside the confines of the building. Therefore the accusations brought that the bringing students together makes life there a regular pandemonium does not hold water when tested by the experience at the dormitories of Columbia University. The conduct of the students there is better than at private rooming houses.
The advantages, then, may be summed up briefly:
1. The University assures the student the best service for the least money.
2. The University is more certain just how the student body is faring when in the dormitories than when scattered among the private rooming houses.
3. Any decent dormitory gives the student an opportunity to have some privacy by having a room or suite to himself. This is a boon to any one.
4. Student esprite de corp is greatly developed by bringing the students together. This makes for democracy, tends to stamp out petty and snobbish cliques and circles and if anything is thoroughly American in the best sense.

THE CHEMIST OF TODAY
Frank Brock, a fellow in Chemistry, spoke before the Chemical club at its meeting Wednesday afternoon in the Chemistry building. His subject was "The Industrial Chemist." He told principally of how to get a position after graduation from the University, especially in a factory where there is not already a chemist, but where one is needed.
Chemistry Fellow Tells of His Duties.
Two limp back pocket note books for 5e at Kress.'
"The chemist of today," he said "must understand the business and mechanical side as well as the chemical part. The manufacturers are beginning more and more to demand this. The best method for the graduate to do is to work for six months or a year as a common laborer in the factory. This gives him an opportunity to become acquainted with the workmen and to gather data as to the needs of the plant, their efficiency, system of work, and the other details.
"In signing the contract he should know definitely what his duties are to be, and these should be as full as possible. Moreover, he should be responsible only to the head of the firm as this gives him a larger field without being hampered by the others. His salary usually is from twelve to fifteen hundred dollars."

TWO STUDDNTS ARE COUNTY SURVEYORS
BECKER AND ELLIS HOLD OFFICE AT HOME.
Becker Youngest Official in County Are Paid by The Fee System.
Two students in the school of Engineering have been elected to the offices of county surveyor while they are yet in school. Harry W. Becker a junior in the school of Engineering, was elected to the office of surveyor in Ellsworth county last fall, November, and Herbert A. Ellis, a senior engineer was elected to the same office in Pratt county at the same time. Mr. Becker was the youngest man on the ticket and he is now the youngest man that has ever held the office in the county. He assumed the duties of the office, when he went home the first week of the Christmas holidays. At present he attends classes on the hill and makes the trip to the county seat only to attend to the important work that has to be done. In the meantime, a deputy maintains the office for the local work.
Mr. Ellis was elected to the office in Pratt county after serving for three years as the deputy to the man who then held the position. Now he makes the trip to the county whenever important work needs his attention. He returned Friday from the Easter holidays and a week of work that had to be finished this spring before the end of the semester would permit him to spend any considerable length of time at home.
Becker says of the position that one is often called upon to act in the capacity of peace maker between contending parties without making the actual survey which would legally declare the difference at an end. However the people do not always accept the survey if a satisfactory solutions for their trials can be arrived at by means of diplomacy.
A stated salary does not accompany the position of county surveyor but rather the men receive their compensation by means of fees assigned to the work that is done.
SPECIAL TRAIN TO BAKER
Will Leave Santa Fe Depot at 1:30 O'clock.
The special train that will take the base ball team and the crowd of rooters to the game at Baldwin will leave the Santa Fe Depot promptly at 1:30 Monday afternoon. Manager Lansdon will be in the car that will be reserved for the team and will have a number of tickets to the game for sale. All the students going to the game should purchase their tickets of him and help the University management for that is the only part of the receipts that will be received by Kansas.
Many students have already expressed their intentions of making the trip and it is thought that many more will join the number later.
The line-up of the Jayhawker team as they will play in the contest will be: Hicks, short stop, Farrell right field, Haller 2nd base, Smith catcher, Larson left field, McMillan center field, Ward 3rd base, Porter first base, McCarty, Locke, and Buzick pitchers

JUNIOR PROM
A GREAT SUCCESS
(Continued from page one.)
given out by George Stuckey and Leota McFarlin, and Frank Davis and Katherine Dolman.
Refreshments for the faculty members present were served at the beginning of the third dance and the refreshments for the others were served from the eighth to the eighteenth dances. The special feature of the "eats" this year was the good service and the absence of any crowding at the time of serving.
The decorations were not elaborate. Red and blue lighting effects overhead and the Junior and Senior class numerals in colored electric lights on the sides of the hall. The decorations were simple and in excellent taste. As last year the musicians were in the center of the floor on a vine covered pavilion. Kelly's nine piece orchestra furnished the music and their seeming dislike to play encores was the only possible fault that could be found with the entire prom. At 2:30 a.m. the last dance was played and the Junior Prom for 1911 was over.
A PLEASING RECITAL
Miss Barrett and Miss Hardcastle Entertain Large Audience.
"Sandalphon" was one of the most interesting selections of the evening and in its rendition Miss Hardcastle displayed great powers of sympathy. One of the catchy numbers of the program was the reading by Miss Hardcastle of George Fitch's famous story of "The Funeral that Flashed in the Pan."
Before the largest crowd that has ever attended a student recital, Lucile Barrett and Cornelia Hardcastle, of the department of expression of the school of Fine Arts, gave an extremely interesting recital in Fraser Hall last Tuesday evening. Both of the young ladies showed great ability to adapt themselves to the mood and spirit of a varied program. In the reading from the Pickwick Papers Miss Barrettshowed great versatility in dialogue, while she probably showed the best powers of interpretation in Kipling's "The Ballad of the East and West."
Mrs Blanche Lyons, soprano, assisted the young ladies in the program and sang two numbers which were well received. Miss Louise Wiedmann played a pleasing accompaniment to the reading of "Sandalphon."
Programs were given out by Frances Banker and the ushers were Tess Critchfield, Grace O'Neil, Lucile Wilkinson, and Alice Houston.
LEADS STRENUOUS LIFE.
Prof. C. Zueblin a Real Live Wire.
As a high pressure, six-cylinder talker, Professor Charles Zueblin, who has been delivering a series of lectures on the modern city this week, has never been surpassed by any lecturer at the University. He starts out on the high speed and never misses an explosion. The witty allusion, the telling phrase, all leap to his lips at lightning speed. There is no hesitating, no waste of time seeking for just the right word or phrase when Professor Zueblin talks. If there were a speed limit in language he would exceed it every minute of his hour's talk. At the close the audience is left rather breathless, as if it had just finished a cross country run.
It is not only when he is lecturing that Professor Zueblin energizes. Besides his six addresses at the University this week he spoke twice at Kansas City. He spent each forenoon in Kansas City investigating conditions there, and he told a reporter for The Kansan that he was finding time to write a little, too.
Besides his lectures, Prof. Charles Zueblin brought with him to the University, his golf clubs, and he has been playing on the golf links every day this week. When a great student takes up the game of golf, everyone says he never will be anything but a "dub" at the game. But it is not so with the famous lecturer. His best score over the nine hole course is 41. This is one stroke more than bogie, and considering the condition of the grounds is a remarkable showing, especially as the university links are entirely new to Prof. Zueblin.
When Zueblin made his 41, he established a score which had never before been equalled at the university.
