TAKES FLING AT THE STATE
Sorry Kansas Has Been so Slow in Providing For Its Women in The University.
Andrew Carnegie has sent his check for $75,000 to the University of Kansas with which to build a dormitory for women.
This information was received by Dr. Alberta Corbin this morning in a letter from the multi-millionaire. It came unsolicited.
"It gives me pleasure to aid in such a worthy undertaking," wrote the canny Scot. "The young women of the University ought to be given every advantage. You have chemistry, mining, law, engineering, physics and shop buildings, all primarily for men. Regretting the failure of your great and prosperous state, a state I believe that is richer per capita than any other state. My wife and I have your state has not provided you young women with at least one building you may call your own, I am glad to enclose my cheek."
Then she looked up from the letter and her eyes fell on the calendar.
Miss Corbin received the letter at nine o'clock this morning.

No Junior Pension Prom System for Permanent Student
The managers of the Junior Prom have decreed that all P.S.B.'s, attending the Prom will be charged a $2.00 fee. In the ranks of the P.S.B.'s, are included all those who have attended two Proms.
Formerly those remaining in school have often attended three or even four Proms with the payment of but one fee but the managers have decided this one that one fee entitles a student to two prom fees. In deciding decision that all P. S. B.S. must pay a two dollar fee which is $1.50 less than the Juniors pay.

MAJOR AYER REVIEWS NATIONAL GUARDSMEN
Regular Army Officer Says K.N.G.,in Efficiency,Ranks
First in U. S.
The members of the National Guard of the University and of Lawrence met in the gymnasium Saturday evening, for their annual inspection. Major Ayer of the 9th Infantry, who is detailed by the war department as instructor of militia in Kansas conducted the inspection.
After the examination, the Major said, that the University Guard ranked first in the state, for efficiency. This shows that the boys of Captain Steele have a higher standard now than they ever had bad, as the Kansas men have the highest standard of any troops in the United States, so the boys are commanded really on the arrangement their outfits in the store room and the excellent condition in which they kept their rifles.
Later the following contests took place: Boxing, Seargent Utterback vs. Private Greyson; fencing, Seargent Luke vs. Private Bennett. Wrestling, Corporal Crawford vs. Private Gorsuch, and Snake and Smoke exhibitions also have a wrestling exhibition. After the contest a smoker was held for the officers.
The following officers assisted in the inspection: General Martin, Mayor Phillips, head of state hospital corps, Captain Means, Captain McParlin, Captain Krause, Lieutenant Coyle, Captain Hogg, Captain Clark, Captain Steele and Lieutenants Walling, Brownlee, Fairchilds, and Alphin.

MARCH 1912 WAS THE VERY WETTEST MONTH
Most Precipitation Since Uni versity Bureau Was Started in '68
TWO OTHER RECORDS BROKEN
TO ELECT TENANTS FOR HALL OF FAME
Highest Humidity and Lowest Temperature Recorded—No Earthquakes and Little Wind
According to the reports of F. W. Bruckmiller, weather recorder at the University, March has been a history maker for the weather bureau and leaves the weather-world with three new honors.
The total rainfall for the month, 8.84 inches, is not only the heaviest for March, but also the heaviest recorded for any other month since 1868. With the Meter twins the month has been unusually severe, the tempature of Mr. Thermo registering a mean temperature of 31.9, the lowest on record.
The humidity of the atmosphere for the month, due to the unusual precipice conditions, was 77.65, being exceeded only once in a percentage of 86.5 h on March 1899.
Notwithstanding the old tradition, the lion and the lamb came in and went out together, and to all appearances reached a compromise on the total weather output for the month, for while making three new records in the weather-world it has at the same time been unusually calm and no earthquakes have been recorded during the month.
ZOOLOGISTS WILL CONVENE
The central branch of the American Central Society of Zoologists will hold its fourth spring meeting at Urbana, Illinois, April 4, 5, and 6. Prof. W. J. Baumgartner will attend the meeting and read two papers, the first on "Spermatogenesis in the Gryllidae," the second on "The Puget Sound Marine Station."

In The Judgment Seat
Seniors Will Decide Who Are Their Most Human Beings
TIS A JAYHAWKER FEATURE
Voting Tuesday and Wednesday Provision is Made for Absolute Honesty in Counting Ballots.
The members of the senior class will decide ten weighty quesitions by ballot, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The ballots containing the ten questions have been printed and a member of the Annual Board will be at the old check stand during chapel time on the two days mentioned, to judge the voting and see that the ballot box is not stuffed.
1. The man in the senior class who has done the most for the University of Kansas.
These are the propositions which the seniors have been asked to decide.
11. The laziest man.

After class duties were over one day last week, Susie, big muligone of the Ki Yi sorority and candidate for class honors in psychology, left her sisters at home and to take a walk about the campus.
III. The most popular man.
IV. The "Beau Brummel" of the *bull*
Her work, however, weighted heavily upon her, and she soon turned her steps toward Spooner library. After skipping through the magazines, she went back into the stacks in search of a treatise on the psychology of hypnotism. She became so interested that 6 o'clock came and the doors of the stack rooms were closed upon her.

V. The worst fusser.
VI. The best athlete.
VII. The worst politician.
VIII. The biggest grafter.
IX. The worst grind.
X. The most charming young woman in the senior class.
The votes will be counted by the annual board, and since several members of the Men's Student Council, and the president of the W. S. G. A., and the president of the MA department, we assured that in this department there will be no crooked work.
The returns of the election will be a feature of the Annual, together with the second highest and the "also rans."
The polls will close at 12 o'clock,

merely scratched on the door which was soon oovened.
Two of the Pi Phi girls saw the little dog as she rather shemafelessly came out of her brief imprisonment. They coaxed her home with them, fearing that she might fall into evil habits. Susie kept the Pi Phi girls awake all night, helping suffrage ideas at them. As soon as day broke, Susie was conscience stricken over the way she had left home, and hurried away to set her sisters' fears at rest. The latter had been up all night worrying about their absent sister, first, because of the many threats which have lately been made against her, and second, because Susie had never been known to stay
WHY WILL MEN KICK HATS
ON THE FIRST OF APRIL?
The ancient near-joke of placing a brick under a derby hat was given a slightly different turn this morning as students over in the Chemistry building,
They placed a brick under the hat an other one near it. Everyone that came along, thinking that the logical place for a brick on April Fool's day is at home, did it up only to be greeted by the derivative peers of the chemists and pharmacies.
MINERS MAY GET THETA TAU CHAPTER
Their Petition Received Favably by National Fraternity--Installation April 19
Word was received by the members of Tunnel and Shaft, the local organization among the mining engineering students, from the national president of Theta Tau, a national fraternity of engineers that the petition for membership that was tendered the society about a month ago in all probability would be granted.
There are six members of the national organization and five have voted favorably on the petition of Tunnel and Shaft. A three quarters majority is necessary for election to membership in the organization.
It was stated this afternoon by one of the members of the local organization that tentative plans had been made for the installation of the national chapter here on April 12, but that Tunnel and Shaft had asked to be joined up with the senior Prom. It is thought now that the installation and initiation of the new organization will be held here on Anril 19.
CHI OMEGA CELEBRATES
Founders' Day Rites Observed Last Saturday Afternoon
Chi Omega held its seventeenth annual Founders' Day Banquet, Saturday evening at 6 o'clock at the chapter house. The rooms were decorated with red tulips and doffodils and lighted with yellow candles.
Miss Helen Stevens acted as toast-mistress and Helen Rigby, Margaret Roberts, Helen Degen and Beulah Murphy, Rose Abbott, and Mrs. J. W. Lapham of Chanute responded to toasts.
The banquet was followed by the annual freshman "HI Jinks" which was a fare entitled "Seven Days in a Frat House."
The out-of-town alumni who attended were; Miss Hildegarde Mense of Kansas City, Miss Marie Tilford of Olathe, Miss Evelyn Wilson of Leavenworth, Miss Berenice French of Jola, Mrs. J. W. Lapham of Chanute, and Mrs. Block of Kansas City.
Announces Engagement
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Frank F. Rupert, an instructor in the Chemistry department, announced this morning his engagement to Miss Olive Buhoups of Winsor, Colorado. Miss Buhoups was for two years a member of the class of 1905. The couple will be married this summer. A five pound box of candy deposited in Professor Cady's office accompanied the announcement.
TO CLASS IN PUGET SOUND'S LABORATORY
Biology Students Under Professor Baumgartner Will Make Annual Trip
COST OF JAUNT IS ABOUT $140
Will Travel by Special Car to Coast— Via Canadian Rockies Where Glacier Will be Studied.
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner will take a party of biology teachers and students to the Marine Station on Puget Sound this summer on a trip similar to that which has been taken for the last three years.
This year, the party will go by special car through the Canadian Rockies, making four stops to see places of interest, the snow peaks and water falls. One day will be spent in climbing a glacier and studying its structure. Together with this, the trip will be through the most beautiful mountain scenery, the "Switzerland of America."
IUNIVERSITY CREDIT GIVEN
At the Marine Station, courses in zoology and botany will be taken under conditions that must inspire the knowledge that can only be obtained by observation and hard work. These courses will deal with the very rich fauna and flora of the many islands of the Sound.
Before starting on the trip the students who desire credit for the work done will be required to register here with a check amount of credit given is six hours.
The teachers who go on the trip will be enabled to collect zoology and botany material for use in their schools. On the former trips, some of the students work in a part of their expenses by selling the material collected to their schools.
PARTY STARTS JUNE 14
The necessary outlay for the whole trip will be about $135 to $145. Professor Baumgartner says that this amount allows liberally for incidentals as shown by experiences on the previous trips.
The party will start about June 14 and the tickets will be good until October. Stop-overs will be allowed wherever desired. Although the party will take a special car out to Puget Sound individuals will be allowed to return over any road they desire. About seventy people have already signified their intention of joining the party.
PROF. DYKSTRA DISCUSSES
A WORLD-WIDE PEACE
At Methodist Church Yesterday he Outlined the Forces That Are Dethroning Mars.
The modern movement for world wide peace, as outlined in a talk by Prof. C. A. Dykstra before the social service class at the First Methodist Sunday School yesterday, is the result of six great forces: democracy, facility of transportation, international dependence of business战, cost of War, carriage's peace endowment and the establishment of numerous peace societies throughout the world.
The speaker traced the growth of the movement and discussed briefly the present outlook for universal peace.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
A ploughman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.
D. L. ROWLANDS
It is with sorrow that the death of Mr. D. L. Rowlands is noted. For years his close association with student life and student activities has bound him so closely to the interests of the University that he and his book-store appeared to be an essential part of the institution.
It is sufficient tribute to him to say that his death caused general sorrow in the University community and among those with whom he came in contact in a business way.
He was genial, he was kind, he was considerate. What more was needed to win for him the friendships that he enjoyed?
EMPHASIZES NEED OF MONEY FOR REPAIRS
Now that everyone is sure that Spring is really here, isn't it high time that the student boarding houses begin serving sahasrasa tea?
The following quotations deal with two attitudes toward the recent high school conference conducted by the School of Education. The reader should judge for himself which comment seems captious, and which sound. At least one point is clear:—that the University could spend to good advantage an appropriation for repairs:
From the principal of the Abilene high school; in the Abilene Chronicle; There is little doubt but that the high school conference is a means of advertising the state school and mills schools of the state well acquainted with what they have to offer there. And since this is so we cannot but wonder why certain of the meetings mills anything but a credit to the University so far as their appearance went. For instance the room in which the appointee once such as any high school in the state would have been ashamed to usher visitors into. The walls were rough, stained, and full of great color. There were three of the same material as the walls, the black well worn off, full of holes, and covered with scrawls and rude caution, but no body stepped up and disrepair. We cannot but wonder just what the object in receiving the representatives of the schools which furnish the unintended part of its students, could have been.
As for the conference itself, some parts were good and some bad. We have no wish to criticize, but just invite students to attend a invited school men to class as large a state as ours is and listen to long talks by men whose connection with the work discussed if distant, or whose ideas as expressed are vague and women want live topics discussed in a way that will give us a definite idea how to solve common problems. We want men in authority with exerting power to outline the best methods of dealing, not with the problems that come only to the very large schools, or to the people with few real and common problems were touched upon. Fewer even than these were the definite solutions offered. We listened to the instance of two high school grades, who refused to take part in school programs with classmates who were years younger than he, because he felt that it was humiliating to him, and thus landed him in reaffirmation. We listened to the truth that something ought to have been done to keep him from the house of corrections, so we ususet how it was to be done. We listened to a plan for testing the average powers of the high school student
that length of lesson may be estimated, which was good. But this speaker teaches not a single class the year round and draws his pay just to make such investments as he would like. He wird of carrying such a plan on where the teachers teach from five to six classes to prepare for, which means work with hardly a break from early morning that a night school works great good to some communities, but no information relative to the practicability of carrying one on in a small town and that the school is often even. What the majority of teachers want is suggestions to help in the average high school.
From the superintendent of the Junction City schools;
After sufficient time to reflect upon it and allowing my impressions to become clear, I went to express of your time to express to you the conviction that the meeting we had at Lawrence last week was in my judgment, which is such conferences I have ever attended.
That all educational ideals and results are not dependent upon mere polish of furniture and newness of wall finish, (although the University and the School of Education really need this sort of equipment), one should reflect upon the following paragraph, which is taken from the description given by the chemist, Wohler, of his visit to the famous laboratory of Berzelius:—"No water, no gas, no hoods, no oven, were to be seen; a couple of plain tables, a blowpipe, a few shelves with bottles, a little simple apparatus, and large water barrel wherein Anna, the ancient cook of the establishment, washed the laboratory dishes, completed the furnishings of this room, famous throughout Europe for the work which had been done in it. In the kitchen which adjoined, and where Anna cooked, was a small furnace and a sand bath for heating purposes."
As to the program of the conference, it was chiefly unique in that Kansas school problems and concrete school activities were the topics of four-fifths of all the discussions. The University educators found out that the schoolmen of the state were actually doing things which they needed to know about. Even the out-state lecturers centered their discussions upon those issues which were common already to many school communities. The literal specific directions for purely local problems, (apparently desired by one of the above writers), were of course not in evidence, the assumption being that, given a clear statement of the principles at stake and scientific educational methods to be employed, any ingenious schoolman could work out how on salvation. This seems, indeed, to be the consensus of favorable option expressed in numerous letters received by Dean Johnston of the School of Education. As to "definite solutions" it is well that few were proclaimed at this stage of school development.
The next conference, those directing it assert, will be like the present one, only more so. One of the above quoted comments is unique in being the only unfavorable one noted—and is therefore interesting.
When he was ousted from his position as principal of a grammar school in Bristol, Rhode Island, because he took an active part in city politics., John H. Bailey set to work to secure his re-statement. He entered the political field to accomplish this and aided by his former pupils who went to the polls and talked in his interest, he won carrying the election for himself for membership in the council and seating his candidates on the school board.

AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
NEE day a countryman going to the nest of his Goose found an egg in it and glistened. When he took it and heavy as lead and he was going to throw it way, because he thought a boy had taken it. He took it home on second thoughts, and soon found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold. Every morning he became rich by selling his eggs, as he grew rich he grew greedy; and so soon became rich by selling his eggs. The Goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find—nothing.
Greed oft o'erreaches itself.
STUDENT OPINION

ABOUT 'THE TORCH.'
Certainly no more representative body of the leading girls in the senior class can be chosen than the one that has been chosen to form the new society of "The Torch." The method of choosing these girls was in itself a remarkable departure from the ordinary. The theoretically it looks well, and now in practice it has demonstrated that it works well. If such a method will result in approximately as good results everywhere else, then it will let us it for the choosing of members in the rest of our class societies, for the men as well as for the women. It would make our class societies more representative, more significant, and of more consequence in the student affairs of the University.

LAW SCHOOLS AND THE LAW'S DELAY
WHAT DO STUDENTS KNOW?
Much of the law's delay, so often discussed and condemned of late, is ascribed in the annual report of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of teaching to the excessive number of law schools and the poor quality of instruction given in many of them. The result, according to the report, is the increase in the number of years of an army of more or less incompetent lawyers, whose ignorance does not a little toward slowing down the wheels of justice.
ILLITERACY IN AMERICA
That may be so, and it cannot be doubted that there are too many law schools, that in many of them the requirements for admission are too low and the course of study too short, or that a good many of their graduates would be better employed had they learned carpentry or plumbing. One cannot help remembering, however, that the little, no-account lawyers are not the men who keep cases dragging along through the courts for years. This is rathmore in fact, with more than simply causes of ignorance or incompetence, that are always asking for postponements and making appeals from decisions.
And it is a fact too, that great lawyers, like great doctors, not infrequently come from schools open, as such, to severe criticism. That, of course, is not a defense of the bad schools, or even an argument against decreasing their number; still less it is to claim that their graduates rank with those from the really good schools. It is only reason for them to fear that education obtains almost anywhere by those who really want to learn and have the brains to use what they are taught—and what they teach themselves—New York Times.
Another professor joins the ranks of the critics of college students with the statement that he has found many students who do not know that France
Of persons over ten years of age in the United States there are five and a half millions who cannot read or write. Of these about 40 per cent are negroes. Born in Africa that there are native-born whites to the number of 1,533,530 who are illiterate.
Some encouragement, however, is to be had from the fact that illiteracy has decreased substantially during the last decade. The proportion, according to the census of 1900, was 10.7 and now only 7.7. There is reason to believe that this will be reduced still more in the next ten years. The chief native white illiteracy is among the "poor whites" of the south, and their needs are being met more thoroughly than ever. Ten years from now will find the health crisis a reality, never been before, with a more widely distributed prosperity, we trust, and more diversified occupations. Wealth and business activity will bring social advantages to the poorer classes and education child<sup>4</sup> among them.
TRAMPING ABROAD
I am going to make the fourth trip to Europe with my boy in the future. It will be a staeerage trip and third-class on the Continent. Any young man who cannot "rough it" and forego the meaningless luxuries is a molly-coddle. A college boy, above all, ought to be able to make a trip like that. While money is a necessity, it is by no means the most important factor. It is, however, absolutely necessary that one know something about European history, art, economics, and science. With this knowledge and a broad mind such a trip can be made on an allowance of $250 for an eight-weeks' tramp all over Europe—HARVARD in New York Times.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
a taste for books is the pleasure and glory of my life...I would not exchange it for the wealth of the Indies...
The miseries of a vacant life are never known to a man whose hours are insufficient for a man the inexhaustible pleasures of study. ...The love of study,
from enjoyment, supplies each day, each hour, with a perpetual round of independent and rational pleasure.
EDWARD GIBBON
is a republic or think that Portugal is a city, who have no knowledge of the chief industries of a great country or are ignorant of the difference between latitude and longitude. Recently a Harvard professor complained that not a student in a class of 100 knew anything about Artistole; other instructors have lamented the ignorance of the Bible and English literature.
Poor college student—what does he know? Yet somehow he is admitted to the college and eventually is graduated from it. The number of college students has greatly increased over the years, quality determined by number? There are still scholars, doubtless, but what is the average student?
If such criticisms continue, indignant graduates of mature years may demand an investigation to determine what has happened to the colleges and preparatory schools. The public already may well ask: What is education, anyway? - Chicago Record-Herald.
UNDERGRADUATE STUNTS
It is easy to poke fun at the performances imposed upon university students ambitions to add their names to the roster of famous undergraduates societies, but is there nothing to be done as them as a serious preparation for life?
Rolling an undressed peanut with a needle for an eight of a mile, while hampered by a hobble skirt, a picture hat, and high-heeled shoes, for instance, may seem a rather severe test, but the student who goes through it may congratulate himself if he never wishes in for the task. In many cases, for the task, let us say, of defending a client of more shrewdness than scruppulousness.
Measuring a given distance with a live eel, too, undoubtedly has its peculiar difficulties, but is it so much harder than appeal plausibly for honest votes upon the basis of a crooked party record? Momentarily embarrassing as it may be to ask impudent questions of strangers, or to be taken for a lunatic, the compromise that one thus makes with his self-respect is not very serious. To be a really faithful reflection of non-academic doings of the sort we have mentioned, undergraduate" stumps will have to be extended to involve deeper outrage of one's notions of what is really respectable.
THINK IT OVER
A good, two poors, and a con, Bill,
Those are my marks this year.
There're rotten, there's no doubt
about it.
The fact is, I didn't come near.
And with book lying flat out before me,
My thoughts idly drift away
A child's selfish desire.
at the job when billed hours.
At a hundred a month, darned good pay!
I'm no stude-that's a foregone conclusion,
I'm no study -- that's a m-
clusion,
so why make my time here at school,
I could easily earn my own living,
so why pass it up — what a fool!
But pondering o'er my folly
and cursing myself for it all
My mind wanders back to the pleasures
Of college and then I recall.
The fun on the lake in the springtime.
With banjos a-strummen' long shore
And the parties the boys will be having
While I am cooped up in a store.
And I think of the hearth in the winter
With follows all gathered around
Of the songs that I'm sure they'll be
singing.
And I think of how good they will
know.
I know I can loafer at studies,
但 I haven't quite yet got the "kick"
I'm going to start once again, Bill
For I guess I've decided to stick.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
THE FLIGHT OF YOUTH
There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all pain;
But it takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and are better,
Under manhood's sterner reign;
She told that something sweet
Followed me down feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
and nothing at all remains;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth, and in the air,
But it never comes again.

Everybody knows what waterpower means to a town. Lawrence is a flourishing example of the benefits that flow from a big river hooked up to a big dam and a power plant.
In considering Lawrence as a location for business, look into its advantages in the matter of power.
If a river has feelings and is human enough to dislike work. the Kansas river has no friendly regard for J. D. Bowersock of Lawrence. It was Mr. Bowersock who put the Kaw on the job of turning out light and power for Lawrence and her industries. His is the only power plant on the river.

Halbert Sturgeon Holds to His Fast Regardless of the Classmates' Jeers
By Harold O. Payne.
Belpre High School, March 30.
Halbert Sturgeon, a junior has just completed a fast of one week, from Sunday morning to Saturday night.
He has been reading some articles running recently in the Physical Culture Magazine by Upton Sinclair about the benefits to be derived from fasting and decided to put the theories to a practical test. The loss of weight which he experienced was comparatively small and he apparently received no detriment from the experiment.
The feat attracted wide-spread notice among the students, who chaffed him mercifully about his abstainence but he kept doggedly on with his attempted task until his success has won some advertising for the junior class.

DAD' HERMAN WRITES FROM INDIAN OCEAN
The following is an extract from a letter received by Roy Stockwell from "Dad" Herman, written enroute to India where Herman has gone to take up the work of the Young Men's Christian Association.
Former Secretary of University Y.M.C.A. Doesn't Like Italian Lingo
At sea, Indian Ocean.
February 24. 1915
Early tomorrow morning we will anchor in the harbor of Colombo, Ceylon, which is almost the end of our journey. After about five days on the island investigating two associations, and seeing the sights, we will go to Madras where we will meet Carter and learn more definitely of our work. This is a strange but fascinating country. Ideals, standards, every thing is different and sadly lower that the states, but there is a fascination about it that I have no doubt will draw a man here always. However a more intimate knowledge may result in other conclusions.
Smart Tailored Suits for College Wear
We have a mixed cargo of human freight on board: German, Dutch, English, Irish, Dane, Swede, Norwegian, Chinese, Scotch, French, American, and I don't know what else. The German and Dutch are most numerous and few can talk English, so you can imagine what fun we have brushing up our K. U. German. I would never take this trip again without at least a fairly good knowledge of German. Nearly everyone can talk some German in Europe and it is mighty handy. I got lost one night in Genoa and never would have found the doock if I hadn't met a man who could talk German. That Italian gab is a fright and I don't like the looks of things after night with fifty dollars in gold in my pocket. H. C. HERMAN.

Easter Shoes to Wear with Easter Gowns
Low Shoes—sunshine Shoes—Colonials and the daintiest Pumps you ever saw. Shoemaking is an art when it comes to such Shoes—every one is a picture. For tailor made gowns or walking, welted low shoes in Black or Tan are the best—young ladies admire them very much—Colonials and Strapless Pumps in Tan, Dull or Suede leather, black satin, white buck or canvas are among the latest, but it takes a pretty foot to wear them. All our Oxford's, Colonials and Pumps are so cut and made that they hug the heel and instep, and don't gap, or slip at the heel. And if you see a style worn anywhere that you like, you can almost always find it here. We have all the common-sense shapes, too, for middle-age and elderly women.

SUCCESS NEVER CAN BE
JUST MERE HAPPENING
So Spoke the Rev. S. S. Estey of Topeka at Chapel Exercises Friday Morning
The Rev. Dr. S. S. Estey, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Topeka apoke in chapel Friday morning on the four essential faiths which man should have to succeed in life. "Success and happiness in life do not just happen," said Dr. Estey, "they are the results of causes."
The four faiths which Dr. Estey put forth, are first, faith in God, which is the source of moral courage and power and makes a man's life rich. Second is faith in fellow men, for "only by believing in the greatness of your fellow men," said Dr. Estey, "can you do anything great for them." The third faith is that in self. "With such a faith," continued Dr. Estey, "all obstacles are as straws." The final faith set forth, and what Dr. Estey considered the greatest, is the faith in duty. "A large number of men have plenty of faith in self," he said, "but they help themselves to all the gravity in the dish, and have little faith in duty."

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
IT WAS THE SAME OLD SEVEN AND SI
Jayhawker Track Hoodoo Held Good and Tigers Won the Meet
55; KANSAS, 3
Murray Won Two Mile in Record Time—French Lost High Jump to Nicholson.
'Twas the same old story in much the same old way. That is all there is to be said.
Missouri won the ninth annual indoor meet from Kansas with the same apparent ease that she won the other eight. The score was Missouri 50, Kansas 35.
From the unprejudiced observers plont of view the meet was a dandy. In every track event save the relay a blanket would have covered the men at the finish and the ti me made in the Convention hall records with the Convention hall records.
The two real features of the evening were the high jump and the relay.
In the first of these Captain French lost to Nicolson of Missouri with the bar at 6 feet, 1 5-8 inches. The Tiger jumper, after two bad trials, went over the bar, which quivered but held its cap. Nicolson's captain's first two trials were of the same type, when herer's, but less fortunate. His last trial was a clean miss.
TWO MILE THE FEATURE EVENT
In the two mile, little Murray, probably the most deserving athlete that ever wore the K. U. uniform, set a new record in that event and at the same time defeated the Missouri men who were pitted against him.
Moss and Wickham led the Kansas runner up to the eighteenth lap. At that time Murray sneaked by Moss, who had tired himself out in setting the pace, and settled himself close to Wickham's heels. On the twenty-second lap began the greatest sprint ever seen in the two mile event in Convention hall. For a lap and a half the runners traveled side by side, but in the last half Murray passed the worn out Tiger and won by a yard.
MILE HANDICAP TO JOHNSON
SUMMARY OF EVENTS
One of the most interesting events of the meet was the handicap mile. Johnson, Missouri's former star miler, was on the scratch. Thirty yards ahead of him was Edwards, a Kansas freshman. In the first half mile Johnson headed everyone but Edwards with ease, but when he attempted to duplicate the performance with the flying freshman, he found that life still had a few rough spots. He passed Edwards in the eleventh lap and once getting ahead was forced to run himself to death to beat the freshman over the tape by a vard.

GIRLS ARE USING POOL
Swimming Classes Mondays and Thursdays Developing Some Real Experts
The warm weather is increasing the interest in swimming among the members of the Women's Athletic Association and though no "Annette Kellerman" has as yet been discovered there are several who, if they keep up their present showing, will be in a position to give her a close race for the title before very long.
Last week there were seventeen girls in the pool and this week twenty-four took the plunge. There are two classes, the beginners class from 3:30 till 4:30 and the experts class from 4:30 till 5:30. After the girls learn the principles of swimming they are allowed to join in the "stunt swimming." This consists mostly of racing the length of the pool and under water swimming. Some of the girls can go the length of the pool under water. Little attention has been paid to diving yet, though more prominence will be given to it later in the season.
EASTER GIFTS
Miss Nell Martindale is in charge of the swimming on Mondays and Miss Rose Abbott on Thursdays. The swimming classes give an excellent chance, especially for the junior, and seniors, to help along their college degree by earning their degree in swimming.
KANSAS MAN IN THE EAST
Word has reached the Daily Kansan of Prof. F. H. Billings, of the department of botany and bacteriology, who is studying the newest methods in bacteriology and pure food and drug work under Dr. W. T. Sedgewick, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Prof. F, H. B. Billings Studies Eastern Pure Food Laws at Mass. Tech.
Professor Billings is getting in close touch with the working of the pure food and drugs law in the east. He accompanies Dr. Sedgewick, who is an expert witness on these methods, to trials and is gaining much practical experience in this way.
SHORT COURSE IN COLLEGE
FOR MOST POPULAR GIRI
Instead of giving merchandise for prizes in a contest, a clothing firm in Neocho, Mo., will give scholarships in short courses in the Missouri State College of Agriculture. The lecturer for the State Board of Agriculture has received a letter telling of the plan, and asked him for suggestions.
The plan as he has outlined it is for each dollar spent in trade with the company, to represent one vote for the candidate for the short course. Four courses will be offered, two for women and two for young men.

Starting the season with only two K men back, the coach whipped a squad into shape out of the available material which though it was very vener-viorious managed to keep up its standard for Jawhawk basket ball, scoring 519 points to their opponents 459.
No man loomed up as an individual star the playing being equally divided between the team. The team this year did not consist of five picked men but rather of seven men all of who were in the majority of the games.
The scoring was equally divided between the two forwards, Captain Stuckey managing to slip in one more goal than his team-mate Brown.
The most remarkable showing in that line was that made by Smith who though only in about three-fourths of the games and the majority of them scored, those missions managed to slip in twenty-three. The individual scores are as follows:

It is not the fault of the university if a man is offered education beyond his capacity, according to President Taft in an address before the Indianaapolis University students. It is the fault of the man, or of his parents, who sent him to a place where the intellectual life of the man then becomes intoxicated under the inspiration of something stronger than his mind is able to stand.

A SWEET REVENGE FOR BLUE PLAYERS
Defeated the Reds 25 to 15 in the Second Basket Ball Contest
Both teams put up an interesting game, and all the players showed the results of hard training and close attention to the game. The only girl who called a star was Cora McGill of the 25 points who scored 16 of the 25 points.
With a score of 25 to 12, the Blues won the second basket ball game of the series which is being played between the Crimson and the Blue teams of the Women's Athletic Association. The game was played Friday afternoon in Robinson gym unthe rules governing women's basketball.
On account of the lack of advertising the crowd that attended the game was small but the teams made up for the lack of interest of the spectators by their own surplus spirit in giving yells and dance skates across the gym floor.
The game was played with nine players on a side, three forwards, three centers and three guards. The Crimson started off slightly in the lead and it looked for a while as if they would repeat their victory of the first game, but the Blues by more concentrated playing and team work soon forged ahead and by the accurate basket shooting of Cora McGill had slightly doubled the score of the Crimsons by the end of the game.

GOLFERS MAY JOIN KANSAS ASSOCIATION
Oread Club Expects to Enter Team in the State Tournament.
The Oread Golf Club, at its regular spring meeting yesterday, decided to apply for membership in the Kansas State Golf Association. A letter from the officials of the state association had been received by President F. W. Blackmar, of the local golf club, in regard to the membership, and at the meeting it was voted unanimously to make the application. Among other privileges, the membership will entitle the members of the Oread Club to compete in the annual state championship tournament.
In all probability this will mean that Lawrence will be represented by a delegation of five or six players in the state championship tournament to be held next July. Although the Oread club is a comparatively new organization and has a small membership, when compared with many other clubs in Iowa, four three of its players are as good players as are to be found in Kansas.
The golf club smoker will be held tomorrow, Saturday, night at the residence of J. G. Gibb, 641 Loliusa street. All members are urged to come. It was planned to open the spring schedule Saturday afternoon with a match between two picked teams, but the game has been called off by the tournament committee. The links are still partially covered with snow, and it will be several days before the course is in shine for play.
The length of the Oread course, as determined by the committee, is 2505 yards, and the bogey has been placed at 40. Just as soon as the weather will permit the grounds committee will start work on the course. New sand boxes will be installed, the trees will be leveled and straightened, and the putting greens placed in first class condition. When play is resumed the course will be in the best shape it has ever been in .
OLDEST BOOK IS FOUND

Naturae Historiarum, by Hon. Pliny,
1518, Spooner's Most Ancient
Volume - Covered With Leather.
"Naturea Historiarum," is the title of the oldest book in Spooner Library, and the book certainly has some age, having been printed in 1518. A Mr. Marvellus wrote that among them we are indebted for this ancient treatise, and it is written in his best Latin.
They bound the books in pretty good shape in the old days. "Naturea Historiarum" is bound in wood a quarter of an inch thick which is covered with inlaid leather. Its measurements are eighteen by twelve inches.
The single volume really contains thirty-seven books and was presented to the library through Gen. Geo. W. Deitzler, by William A. Phillips.

CAMPUS TO SWARM WITH KANSAS EDITORS
Reports Point to a Record Breaking Attendance at Association Meet
FAT OF THE LAND FOR THEM
According to reports received by entertainment committees the Kansas State Editors meeting here next Monday and Tuesday will be the best attended of any meeting outside of Topeka in legislative years. Prospects are that between 400 and 500 editors will attend.
Elder Brothers of The Daily Kan san to be Taken Care of Right Royally During Stay.
The merchants of Lawrence are preparing a banquet for 400, and the Home Economics girls are expecting 600 guests at their Tuesday luncheon.
As opposed to former years many of the daily editors are planning to come. Most of them are members of the Associated Press and they want to meet its general manager, Melville E. Stone, who will be the guest of the University during the meeting.
TO STERILIZE SEWAGE
Eldorado Will Install Electrolytic System Under Direction of Prof. Hoad.
"The city of El Dorado is trying out an electrolytic sterilization system for their sewage, under the supervision of the engineers of the university," Prof. W. C. Hoad said, when asked about the matter.
"Preliminary plans have been sent to the engineers at the University for revision and returned to the city council to be accepted. The reason that El Dorado is doing this, is because Augusta and Winfield take their water from the Walnut river and it is necessary for El Dorado to dump their sewage into this river,DISSEW and Winfield have first class, modern, up-to-date filtration systems but in order to make an assurance doubly sure, El Dorado is planning to install this system of filtering their sewage.
Song Recital Next Monday.
Song Recital Next Monday.
On Monday night at 8:00 Mr. John Hoffman, tenor will give a song recital at Fraser hall. Mr. Hoffman, tenor will give a song recital at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and is filling a week's engagement at the Lindsburg Musical Festival. He is one of the best known American tenors, and has given successful recitals at Berlin, Paris, and London.
"The idea of sterilizing sewage by a strong electric current is old, but at El Dorado we have a new application of it. The success of such a system depends a great deal on its economy. At El Dorado they have a municipal electric light plant and they plan to make the Walnut river furnish sufficient power to generate the electricity which is used to sterilize the sewage that is damped into it."
WANTED: ROOM TO EAT
Robinson Gym Not Big Enough To Seat Hordes Of Hungry Alumni.
What will the executive committee for commencement do for room in which to hold the annual alumni banquet this year?
Last year the capacity of the first floor of the gymnasium was overtaxed and one thousand and four alumni and faculty attended. This year it is expected that the attendance will reach twelve hundred and no more room is to be had. This is the problem that the commencement committee must face and any suggestions as to its solution will be thankfully received.
Chancellor Strong will preside at the banquet which will be held, June 5, at twelve o'clock immediately after the commencement exercises.

CAN SEE COLLECTOR NOW WITH COURAGE
New System Brings Checks to Employees on First of Month
The credit of the University faculty and employees is henceforth redemanded according to the new system of issuing the pay roll and they, like the rest of the business world, will be able hereafter, bill collectors will collect the first of every month.
Prior to two months ago the pay roll was made up and sent out the last of each month, and owing to the rush of business in the State auditor's office the last of the month, was not returned until between the seventh and tenth.
According to the new system the pay roll is sent out on the evening of the twenty-seventh, and all checks and warrants are returned by the first of the month, making the issuing of pay checks between the first and third. Although causing some conflict in later months thecks is Browne, less secret and purchasing agency for the University, says the new system will have many advantages over the old one, both for the University employees and the State auditor.

CAST OF FORTY TO PLAY FOR EDITORS
Red Dominos Will Presen Original Musical Comedy April 9-10
COSTUMES FROM NEW YORK
Manager is Sparing no Expense to Make "Object, Matrimony," the Best Student Play Yet.
NUMBER 52.
The Red Domino Club's second annual production, "Object; Matrimony," will be presented before the editors and students April 9 and 10. This is a musical comedy with a cast of forty people, and is written by two sophomores in the University, Arvid Frank and Earl Moore. The music is clever and the production is said to surpass the "Idle Idol," given by the club last year.
Ruth Walker, who plays the lead,
is a freshman. Her voice is good
and her dramatic work clever. Wm.
Q. Cain, playing opposite her, had a
leading part in the "Dictator" last
year, and needs no introduction.
The team work of Miss Helen Woolsey and Lawrence Smith is said to be a feature of the show. Another is the work of Lola Eaton as the telephone girl.
"Joe" Bishop, as "Buttons" might put a real bell boy to shame. Louis Buxton, who appeared in "Pyramus and Thisbe" at the May fete last year, takes the heavy part, that of the "barn" actor. The chorus of twenty-four is good, and some of the best parts of the play depend upon it.
CHORUS IS GOOD
About 200 tickets will be put aside for the club's guests, the editors, but there will be several hundred remaining seats downstairs. The scenery will be from the Willis Wood theater, Kansas City, and the costumes from New York.
"No expense has been spared to make the show the best student production ever given; a thing which the club's play last year accomplished," said Don McKay, manager of the Red Domino, this morning.

Plans Are Being Made for a Very Tasteful $1000 Bungalow
MUST PETITION THE REGENTS
The Club of Sixty-Five Members Ha Been a Prominent Factor in Beautifying the Campus
At a meeting of the Golf club last Thursday it was decided to build a club-house in the near future. Further plans were discussed Saturday night at a smoker given to the club by J. Gordon Gibb. The Golf club has been in existence about four years, and has at present 64 regular members, with a number more desiring to join.
“Our finances are in good shape,” said Dean F. W. Blackmar, president of the club, this morning. “We have decided to build a neat, attractive little bungalow, costing about $1,000. We will petition the Board of Regents to allow us to place this building somewhere near the links. As soon as the permission is obtained we will have the plans drawn.
"We want our club-house to be an adornment to the landscape. It will be built primarily for the convenience of the members, containing a lounging room, lavatory and lockers." Professor Blackmar says that the beauty of the campus is due in a large part to the Golf club. It maintains a horse and several mowers to keep the grass and ground in shape. Last year the club expended from its own treasury over $300 in beautifying and trimming the campus and links.
Membership of the club is open to both students and faculty members. The initiation fee is $2.50 and the dues $5.00 per annum.
Y. W. C. A. District Entertained.
The district of which Miss Florence Payne is chairman will be entertained this evening from 7 till 8 at the home of Miss Dorothy Ward, a sophomore in the College.
KIRMESS CALLS FOR LILTS AND FLINGS
National Dances Will Be Given on Four Separate Platforms
The dances at the spring Kirmes will be given on four platforms at different parts of the campus. Each group of dances will be repeated four times and the spectators will move from one platform to another until they have seen every dance.
The Irish Lilt and the Irish Jig will be given by Miss Rose Abbott's classes on the Irish platform. Miss Nell Martindale's classes will give the Scotch Reel and the Highland Fling.
The junior and senior girls will occupy the fourth platform for special dances. One of these will be an Italian dance.
On the Spanish platform, Miss Gladys Elliott's classes, to the click of castanets and the jingle of tambourines, will dance two Spanish dances, La Tzaneque and La Tierra.
Between each class dance, a solo dance will be given or a national dance.
"The costumes will be characteristic of each nation," said Miss Beulah Murphy, president of the Women's Student Government Association, "and a committee of faculty women will have charge of them." A procession of senior girls, in white gowns and academic caps, will escort the Queen of the Kirmess and the dancers from Robinson gymnasium to the lawn in front of Fraser hall where the Queen will be crowned. The procession will form a daisy chain, held together by ropes of daisies.
The Weather.
Thermo and Baro came out of their box in front of Fowler Shops this morning and had a frolic on the green grass.
"Fine business," said Thermo. "Look out for me. I'm going up."
The other meter twin agreed, and so there will be fine weather and warmer for everybody tomorrow.
SMASH CONCRETE TO LEARN ITS STRENGTH
Engineers Apply Earthquake Tests to Beams of Cement and Steel
Five senior engineering students, H. L. Wilson, H. M. Stockwell, H. H. Houk, T. P. Humphery, and R. J. Tucker, under the direction of Professors H. A. Rice and C. I. Corp, have constructed an apparatus in the basement of Fowler shops for testing materials and experiments and experiments on the beams will constitute the material for the senior thesis of each of the five men.
The method of testing is simple yet the results of the test are accurate enough for use in actual practice. Beams of different dimensions and lengths are supported by pillars at each end. Various forces at varying intervals are then applied to the middle of the beams, and the "stress," caused by the weight, recorded by an indicator pencil on a strip of naker.
When force is applied at relatively long intervals, a beam will withstand enormous weight, but as the intervals get smaller the forces on the beam will support decreases rapidly.
An 8x12 beam, fourteen feet long was struck with a force of 15,000 pounds, and the indicating pencil showed a deviation of only an inch. The force was applied at shorter and shorter intervals until the strong beam broke. For the beam was then computed from data obtained from the experiments.
The results of the tests are valuable to railway and construction companies who desire to know how much weight may be safely put upon bridges and concrete work, and also how often the weight can be applied with safety.
MILK POWDER TESTED IN
ICE CREAM EXPERIMENT
Professor Jackson Invices Daily Kan san Reporter to Sample New Preparation
"Yes, it is pretty good. I would just as soon have it as to have real ice cream, if there wasn't any ice cream to be had."
Accepting an invitation from Professor H. Louis Jackson, of the department of food analysis, a reporter for the Daily Kansas visited the laboratory in order to eat some of the ice cream which had been prepared from some of the ingredients used in the dessert in for analysis and the professor resolve to try it out in a practical way.
"I agree with you," said the professor, "but how does it really taste?"
"Well, I like it very much, but there is a sort of greasy taste to the stuff, almost like tallow," replied the reporter, with a bottom portion of the dish and licked his chops.
But the reporter was the only one out of ten people who had tasted the ice cream, who said he really liked it.
The ice cream has a good body and keeps up as long as there is any ice around it. It has the same color and the same grainy appearance as any other ice cream.

PLEASES OTTAWA AUDIENCE
Professor Carruth Discussed Great Poems and Poets in Lecture Friday
W. H. Carruth, of the department of German, delivered his lecture on "Great Poems and Great Poets," Friday. Professor Carruth discussed the works of Longfellow, Dante, Milton, Lowell, and Shakespeare. He emphasized the point that the poem and not the poet is the factor that should determine the greatness of the work.
"A great poet is not always a great man," said Professor Carruth. "Great poems are not necessarily the works of great poets, but sometimes the products of the flights of genius come from writers in whom no greatness is supposed to exist."
Miss Mabel Anderson, a junior in the College, entertained a number of her friends at a whist party last night in honor of her sister, Miss Florence Anderson of Chicago. Afterwards, the party enjoyed a three course supper at Lee's.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Silks and saisons, scarlet and velvets put out the kitchen fire.
ROY MURRAY
Although he was denied the honor of breaking a record in the two mile run in the indoor meet with Missouri last Friday night on a technicality, Roy Murray established a mark for that race that should stand first in the chronicles of the Tiger track meets.
Murray's success came after years of patient work and long waiting for the time, when he could score a "first" for his University.
During his first three years in school, Murray tried out unfailingly for the team and even after he was hopelessly outclassed by other men, stronger and swifter, he continued training for his race, the two mile. He was determined to win that event.
Last year, he won a second place in the meet with Nebraska, but it was not until his senior year that the honor that he deserved so well came to him. In one of the greatest races ever run in Convention hall, he defeated the best that Missouri could send from Columbia in time that has never been equalled by a Kansas athlete.
It is the patient, hard, consistent work that the midget two miles of Kansas has done that makes a winning squad of track athletes, and it is that same spirit infused in every man on the team that will win for Kansas this year.
Earl O. Eager, formerly general manager of athletics at the University of Nebraska, has been let out in favor of another man who represents the spirit in inter-collegiate athletics that will tend to degrade and declass amateur sportsmen in any college or university. Manager Eager was simply too decent for other individuals concerned at Nebraska.
SO-CALLED PLAGIARISM
SO-CALLED FLAGAURISM
A professor at the University of Chicago has discovered that Irving cried "Rip Van Winkle" from Erasmus. Someone has remarked "it is very sad, but as both gentlemen are dead, what is to be done about it?"
Why should anything be done about it? How many of the world's great authors have created entirely their best works? Shakespeare, Milton, Tennyson, Browning and all would have to plead guilty to plagiarism.
What if the original idea of Rip Van Winkle did come from Erasmus, its development and artistic elaboration is the work of Washington Irving and there the credit of the greatness of the work should fall.
Would it not be of far more value if men would spend their time in making such an elaboration rather than in attempting to undermine the reputation of someone before them, who has succeeded in making a classic?
VENTILATION
Investigation of the mechanical devices for the regulation of the ventilation of the class rooms in the University buildings, shows that practically all of the buildings are
equipped with apparatus that is in good working order. Fraser hall and Spooner library, the two buildings in which trouble has been experienced in obtaining proper ventilation, do not have such means of ventilation.
Those who are forced to use the class rooms in Fraser must ventilate as best they can by means of the windows.
Then it is no wonder that, in those classes that prove so interesting to the instructor that he cannot attend to ventilation, the members of the class become drowsy before the lecture is finished. The professor cannot always attribute the tendency to neglect their work, to the late hours that the members of the class keep—and sunry other things,—but the blame must fall to himself when he is careless enough to forget that fresh air is conducive to more real attention than any other thing.
SUPPORT FOR ANTI-SLANG FORCES
The example set by the department of English in the University of Kansas in opposing slang is worth imitating in other universities, and the reform might well begin with the faculty. A dread of academic purism has driven not a few professors to the opposite extreme; Vidiment melora, probanteque, deteriora sequum tur. They know good usage and admire it, but they use the language of the street. Perhaps they are afraid of seeming stilted or pedantic, but the world has a sound instinct; it does not object to dignity in a clergyman or to choice language from a man of learning und letters.
The temptations of slang are great, and the most austere need not be ignorant of the piquant phrases of the day. But it cannot be said that America needs any further help in the production or circulation of slang, while it does need all guidance and support possible for the cultivation of taste and distinction in spoken English. This is something to be achieved mainly by social contact, but if those who write do so necessarily reverently set a good example, where are we to look for guidance? Slang need not be absolutely barred, but it ought not to be the staple of talk more than on writing. It is not in Kansas only that there is need of reform.—SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN.
MR. BRYCE ON AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES.
We are bound to ask whether the modern undergraduate is not truly interested in the deep aim of all true scholarship, namely, the spiritual and concrete construction of life by means of ideas made real. Ambassador Bryce's opinion of the American universities carries weight, and of them he has said:
"If I may venture to state the impression which the American universities have made upon me, I will say that while of all the institutions of the country they are those of which the American speaks most modestly, and indeed depreciatingly they are those which seem to be at this moment making swiftest progress, and to have the brightest promise for the future. They are supplying exactly those things which European cities have hitherto found lacking to America; and they are contributing to her political as well as to her contemplative life elements of inestimable worth." - Century.

A
CROW, half-dead, with thirs came upon a Pitcher which ha once been full of water; but when the Crown put its beak into the mouth of the Pitcher he found this one he could not reach far enough down it get at it. He tried, and he tried, but a last had to give up in despair. Then thought came to him, and he took another pebble. Then he took another pebble and dropped it into the Pitcher. Then he too another pebble, and dropped that into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher. At last, last he saw the water mount up on nees sitting in a few more pebbles he was able to quench his thirst and save his life.

STUDENT OPINION
STUDENT ORDER
The editor is not responsible for the views expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith.
WANTED—A NEW WORD To The Daily Kansan:
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
Also I note the word co-ed applied to women students of the University of Kansas. A woman student of the University of Kansas is no more a co-ed, than a man student. The University was founded for women as well as for men. If you consider facts, you will see that the word in our University, and with such application as you give it, is without reason or truth. Perhaps also you may see that the spirit of the word in your university which was probably in vulgar and tawdyr theatricals. I regret that your printing it may bring it into more general use in our beloved University. I can not be party to such diffusion by subscribing to your paper.
You have courteously sent me a copy of the University Daily Kansas, that of the 14th, and enclosed with it a blank for my subscription. I regret I can not subscribe to your paper. I could not find it in my way to subscribe to any publication assuming the attitude toward men, and especially women of the University of Kansas, which I find you present to me. (In other numbers of your paper, we have noted it also.) Illustration of what I mean is in the lower, left-hand corner of the first page of the number you sent—the spirit of the whole write-up.
Now still further, let me make a suggestion: It lies with you, a part of the vivid and generating genius of Kansas, to look about you, in the great range of our English speech, and find some fitter and truer work to use as you use co-ead—some word expressing your young men's spirit and attitude toward those fine girls who are your fellow-students—of whom you are the fellow-students. Your department of English has lately praised here in the East and elsewhere, by its militant stand against the use of slang. Can not the board of the University Daily Kansas cooperate with that very able and eminent department of English, and find, adopt and bring into general use in the University some word which shall designate the girls of the University, and still another words
Books—lighthouses erected in the sea of time.
— EWEN P. WHIPPLE
which shall designate the boys?
Then you would have originality, equity, distinction, and freedom from association—none of which characterizes mark your use of the word co-ed.
In appreciation of your courtesy and unvarying interest in whatever you may accomplish for the right,
Faithfully yours,
KATE STEPHENS.
I am
Miss Stephen's version of the origin of the word "co-ed" may be called into question and perhaps after all, its spirit and influence may not be considered so baneful. Arising from the term "co-educational," to distinguish those schools which restrict their matriculation to men only, the word came into use, introduced probably by the students themselves—not from vulgar and tawdy theatricals—before this recent wave of women's uplift swept over the country.
Perhaps, though, it will be possible to offer a prize to the person inventing the best word to describe our world. If we will they will have to continue to be such.
O. HENKY ON THE EMERGENCY
VALUE OF SLANG.
From "Fox-in-the-morning." By Sidney Porter, O. Heaven.
IT had been his task to send a confidential message to his friend.
in Coralio. This could not have been accomplished in either Spanish or English, for the eye politic in Anchuria was an active one. The Ins and the Outs were perpetually on their guard. But Englehard was a diplomatist. There existed but one code upon which he might make an important statement of potent code of Slang. So, here is the message that slipped, unconstrained, through the fingers of curious officials and came to the eye of Goodwin:
"His Nibs skedaddled yesterday per jack-rabbit line with all the cush in the kitty and the bundle of muslin he's spoony about. The booole is six figures短. Our crowd in good shape, but it seems so much more. The main guy and the very goods are headed for the briny. You know what to do. Bon."
This scree, remarkable as it was, had no mystery for Goodwin. * ***
It informed him that the president of the republic had decamped from the capital with the contents of the treasuryFurthermore, that he was accompanied in his flight by that winning adventures Isabel Gulbert, the opera singer whose troupe of performers had been entertained by the president at San Mateo during the past month on a scale less modest than that with which royal visitors are often content. The reference to the "jack-rabbit line" could mean nothing less than the mule-back system of transportation that prevailed between Coruillo and the capital. The hint that the "boodle" was also figures in the made condition national treasure clearly. Also it was convincingly true that the ingoing party—its way now made a pacific one—would need the "spondilus." Unless its pledges should be fulfilled, and the spoils held for the deletion of the victors, precarious indeed, would be the position of the new government. Therefore it was exceedingly necessary to "collar the main guy," and recapture the sinnes of war and government.
"Read that, Billy," he said. "It's from Bob Englehard. Can you manage the cipher?"
Goodwin handed the message to Keogh.
Keogh sat in the other half of the desk and carefully perused the notebook.
“‘Tis not a cipher,’ he said, finally. ‘‘Tis what they call literature, and that’s a system of language put in the mouths of people that they’ve never never been introduced to by writers of imagination. The magazines invented it, but I never knew before that President Norvin Green had stamped it with the seal of his approval. ‘Tis now no longer literature, but language. It’s so much harder to make it go for anything but dialect. Sure, now that the Western Union indorses it, it won’t be long till a race of people spring up that speaks it.”
"You're running too much to Philology, Billy," said Goodwin.

Everybody knows what waterpower means to a town. Lawrence is a flourishing example of the benefits that flow from a big river hooked up to a big dam and a power plant.
If a river has feelings and is human enough to dislike work, the Kansas river has no friendly regard for J. D. Bowersock of Lawrence. It was Mr. Bowersock who put the Kaw on the job of turning out light and power for Lawrence and her industries. His is the only power plant on the river.
In considering Lawrence as a location for business, look into its advantages in the matter of power.

WHEN KANSAS SAW A GLACIER'S FACE
Professor Todd Completes Map of Kansas Showing SouthernBoundary
THE MARCH OF THE ANCIENT ICE
Wakarusa Valley Craddled The Infan Kaw and Mt. Orcad Was Part of North River Bluffs.
The time which has elapsed since the great flows of ice creep down from the north is variously estimated by scientists to be from 300,000 to one million years. The chart of Professor Todd, said by the state geologist to be the most accurate and complete of kind years recorded in northern or polar age in Kansas, and shows in great detail the ice line of the flow which extended furthest south.
Prof. J. E. Todd, of the department of geology, is completing a large wall-map of Kansas as it appeared in the Glacial Age.
In general, the southern line of the ice field follows the course of the Kansas river. Wakuraera creek carried off the water-flow from the ice field. The Kansas river was just being formed at that time, and was on the level of the blufs, about 150 feet above its present bed. The Museum contains several skeletons and remains of pre-historic animals, taken from glacial deposits, and of great scientific value.

CAMPAIGNING FOR
THE LAZY VOTE
Things are warming up in senior politics since the announcement was made in the Daily Kansas yesterday that the 1912 class would ballot on candidates for various class honors.
E. S. Adams, ticket-taker at the gymnasium and medic student on the side, the first candidate to enter the field, will try for the largest number of votes as the laziest man in the class. Mr. Adams has appointed Bill Pennish to manage his campaign. Mr. Pennish is to start a publicity campaign setting forth the merits of his candidate immediately.
"Yes, my hat is in the ring," said Mr. Adams this morning when seen by a Daily Kansan reporter. "And there is no brick under it, either. I regard the senior voting contest as the opportunity I have been waiting for all my life, and I feel that I should indeed be recruit to my chief talents if I stayed out of the race."
Mr. Adams rose this morning after being called the third time. He dressed in the first clothes he could find and went up the hill to his eight o'clock class, entering the room at 8:45.
He had neglected to shave. "To tell the truth," he mused, rubbing the stubble on his chin very slowly and thoughtfully, "I long ago came to the conclusion that life was just one shave after another. So I quit shaving more than once or twice a week. What's the use? It only grows out again.
"Don't say anything about that, though," he added hastily as the visitor started to leave. "I shouldn't like to have you print anything that would hurt my candidacy with the barber vote."

At the meeting of the Boy's Athletic Association it was decided to award an E to the members of the basket-ball team and to those who take first in the interclass meet. On account of the bad weather no truck work could be done in preparation for the Hays meet so it was not needed to send a team but to hold an interclass meet instead. As there are so few boys in the senior class the seniors and freshmen are to compete with the sophomores and juniors.

The Bros. have tendered the team use of the drive-in equipment for their lumber yard, which are 200 feet long and 30 feet wide, in which to train until the outdoor track is dry. Daily workouts are being held under the direction of Coach Kiefer, a K. U. graduate, and several men are showing up well.
Olathe will be entered in the Johnson County meet, which will be held here April 20, the Second District meet, which will take place here April 27, and a dual meet with the Ottawa high school. The winners of first place in these meets will probably enter the state meet at Lawrence May 4.

Root's Famous Circus Maxi mus Exhibits Tonight in This City
DIRECT FROM NEW YORK CITY
Crowd Saw Show Arrive This Morning—Sea Serpent Caused Near-
The circus has arrived.
The circus has arrived.
Owing to the wet ground the management of the World's Greatest Show has discarded the enormous tents which ordinarily cover ten and a half acres, and has obtained Robinson gymnasium for the performance. However, Mr. C. B. Root, purchasing agent and animal trainer of the circus states that there will be seats for all, so well arranged are the seating accommodations.
An enormous crowd turned out this morning to watch the circus arrive. The Man-Eating Sea Serapid caused a near tragedy. Attracted by the roarings and hissings of the gigantic brute, a youngster stepped too close. The monster stopped lashing his仁胸 legs with the fist and cried as the screaming boy. He was on the point of doing the Jonah act when circus attendants intervened and hurried the monster away.
"Our whole circus, complete and entire in every detail, is here," said Mr. Root to a Daily Kansas reporter this morning. "Ordinarily we leave out one or two acts or keep them for emergency, but everything will be shown tonight. We are planning to have all the elephants watered before five o'clock. Special, policemen have been obtained to handle the large crowd, and perfect order is assured. Our show is sure some pumkins" added Mr. Root. "Come and bring the children."
The manager of the grand after concert was very reticent and mysterious on being interviewed, but insinulated that some startling things would be seen. "Children screaming or crying during the dare-devil and leap for life acts will be instantly ejected," said he. "Also care must be taken not to approach too close to the Wild Man, as he is suffering slightly with the croup and is easily annoyed."
Arrangements have been made with a local meat shop for feeding the animals. The troupe will eat at the University Cafeteria.
At the last place where the World's Greatest Amalgamated and Combined Circus showed, over ten thousand people witnessed the production. This is exactly the same show that ran for months last year before New York audiences.

STIEHM REPLACES EAGER
AS MANAGER OF ATHLETICS
Man to Whom Cornhusker's Financial Success is Due Gives up Position at Season's End.
Earl O. Eager, familiar to Nebraska students as "dog," will be no longer manager of University athletes after the expiration of his present term, his successor having been appointed by the athletic board at a meeting held last evening. His place will be filled by Coach Edward O. Stichm, the positions of coach and athletic manager being combined.
Eager ends a highly creditable service with the University, lasting a number of years. Through his efforts athletics have been put on a paying base in Nebraska and the 2020 athletic field is largely due to his activity.
A committee was appointed to draw up resolutions of appreciation of the successful term now being completed by Manager Eager.
The position of assistant coach and manager was also created, and will be filled in the near future. Gay Reed is the most prominent candidate under consideration...Daily Nebraskan.

The date for the first appearance of Coach Sherwin's baseball hopes has been definitely announced for the 9th and 10th of April. On those days the variety baseball squad will mix with Missouri, rain and snow permitting.
So far the Jayhawker athletes have drawn more than their share of hard luck. With almost no out-door practice on account of weather conditions and their indoor practice broken up by track practice there has been almost no chance for picking a team.
Unless the weather turns for the better Kansas will be forced to play Missouri with a squad of men not yet rounded into form. Missouri on the other hand has had a full week of practice and has already met Wisconsin in a 3 to 3 tie. They will however come here at the close of a two weeks trip and the experience and team work that will have been gained will be off set in a measure by the condition of the men.

ROUGHNESS NOT THE FAULT OF THE GAME
Basket Ball Rules Committee Fixes Blame on Players and Officials
The college basket-ball rules committee ended its annual two days' session in New York March 30, coming to the conclusion that notwithstanding much criticism the present rules need no fundamental changes.
The real trouble, it was declared, lay in the failure of certain teams to obey the rules. The eastern intercollegiate league was pointed out as a "conspicuous offender in this respect," and a resolution was adopted calling upon the teams to adhere strictly to the rules hereafter.
A few changes were made designed mainly to make the game faster and less rough. It was decided to give the players but ten seconds to pass the ball before the referee had placed the ball on the foul mark, which is expected to eliminate much killing of time by the leading team. The two-minute rest periods were abolished. The committee decided also to instruct officials to "tighten up" in enforcing rules against holding and blocking.
Dr. L. J. Cook of the University of Minnesota reported that in the West basket-ball was continually played and it was possible of the big games it was impossible to accommodate all of those who wished to see the games.

Everybody Happy at Indoor Circus LastNight—Attendance 1200
CLOWNS' WORK THE FEATURE
Big "Davy" And Motley Crew, Got a Million Laughs—Manager Root Was a Big Star.
(By Grouchy Gilihan)
The Indoor Circus given by the department of physical education last night in Robinson gymnasium was an unqualified success. The performers were "right," the audience was delighted, and the box-office receipts gave a big boost to the woman's dormitory fund.
Promptly at 8:17 the pageant started from the animal tent. Led by the University band the pageant wound its brilliant colored folds around the polished-floored basketball court, now transformed into a ringed circus tent.
The clowns were there. No better aggregation of funny men ever romped around a real sawdust arena. Their anties were absurd and their locutions were ludicrous. And the prime minister of all the laugh artists was Ellis Davidson. The big football gladiator was untiring in his efforts to be, like the proverbial thing of beauty, (which he was not) a joy forever. And well did he succeed. He was never discouraged. Other clowns came on, saw the spectators applaud the main performance, and retired. But not Davy First, last and all the time, he was there with the real live "Marceline" stuff.
ELEPHANTS AND CAMELS
ELEPHANTS AND CABINES
The Clownic Climax was the Calliope. Ellis Davidson, Pete Heil, Volney Hillford, and John Musselman were the chief stops and whistles of the instrument, and their wailing was indeed wierly wonderful.
The elephants from the royal herd of the Nizam of Hyderabad, were in the parade. Their natural jungle gait was retained in their unacustomed surrounding and strange as it may seem the unusual footing of the smooth gym floor disconcerted them not the highest. There were home to the zebras and the hippos Camels were likewise a success in bringing home to their inland Kansas assemblage the wonders of strange and foreign lands.
THEY SCARED THE SPECTATORS Capt. Steele's national guardmen in their exhibition drill showed up a bit rusty in the spectacular formations, in the real load, alm and fire exercises they appeared efficient enough. Indeed when they snapped their Springfields at the reserved seat section there were quavers of terror and thrills of alarm among those who remembered the deadly didn't-know it-was-loaded accidents.
Professor Pauly, Professor Babb, and Professor Brownlee not to mention Professor Root, of the physical science department gave a fine exhibition of tumbling and opened the eyes of many of the work of this character that is being done at the University. Professor Root's bag punching was pronounced excellent by the 1200 critics that hung from the rafters of Robinson, and were otherwise disposed around the arena.
A peculiar feature about the Russian ballet, aside from the uniforms which no minion of the White Father ever saw except in the harvest fields, is the music of the dance. It what is many called the "Irish Washerwoman."
THE HUMAN SPIDER
Henry Maloy, some cartoonist hopped around and round on the slack wire, all the while shamelessly shedding his outer garments. After that he cartooned some more on a tight wire, but tight wire work is so easy for Mr. Maloy that he scornfully had the wire raised about the distance of a broken neck from the hard and shiny floor beneath.

What made Maloy's work doubly dangerous was the acoustic orgies of
PROF, ROOT GETS THANKS
OF THE DORM COMMITTEE
They Express Appreciation of His Work In Organizing and Managing the Indoor Circus.
The following letter was sent to Mr. Root this morning by the committee in charge of the campaign for a woman's building:
Dear Mr. Root:—The committee in charge of the campaign for a Woman's Building wish to extend to you and to your assistants their grateful acknowledgment for your efforts in preparing and producing the "Indoor Circus," the proceeds from which will be a large portion of the fund. The performance was highly creditable in every way and the immense audience was more than satisfied. Will you kindly convey, to all who helped, our sincere thanks?
Cordially,
OLIN TEMPLIN,
Chairman.
"UNIVERSITY SHOULD FOSTER HIGH IDEALS"
Says Assistant State Attorney Hawes--Addressed Long Chapel This Morning
"The University should consider it self fortune on account of its elevated position, elevated not only in location but also in it's comparison with the other institutions of the West," said Assistant State Attowed Hawes in his address to the student body at long chapel this morning.
"You will never lose any love for this University, a gift to the youth of this state by the people of Kansas, if you are true to yourself and your University, just as Daniel Webster was true to his Alma Mater when he depended it before the Supreme Court of The United States."
"Just as this hill stands above the surrounding country, so should the ideals of our state stand above the rest in their integrity."
Mr. Hawes was a classmate of Chancellor Strong's while at Yale, and in his speech remarked of the times when he a bold, bad Sophomore dared not inflict punishment on the person of the Chancellor, than a Freshman, on account of his size.
Northwestern Phrosh Get Gay Three freshman from the Northwestern University, determining that a sophomore should not speak at a banquet, kidnapped him; bound him with ropes and threw him out of a window to the roof of a porch. While the freshmen were attempting to escape, a policeman arrived and arrested all four students.
THE EASTER INTERIM NOW IN OUR MIDST
From 5:30 Tonight to 8:00 Next Monday the "House Will Be Dark"
In short, it might be said with Mr. Micawber, the Easter vacation begins at half past five this evening and continues until the eight o'clock whistle blows Monday morning.
Send the Daily Kansan home
The spirit of the annual spring vaction is with us, about us and among us. The holiday season commences this evening at 5:30 and for four days the sound of the wearisome trump of the toilese student as he climbs the Adams street hill will be missing. The wheels in Fowler shops will cease to turn and the crusher over in the Mining building will discontinue its pounding. The Chemistry building will remain distinct odor and the dissecting room in the Museum will close its doors so that its perfume may not escape during the absence of the medical students
Worst of all, the Daily Kansan office will not be striving under the hurly-burly of endeavoring to get out the paper on time. The “bings” of the typewriters, the clangs of the monotype and roar of the presses will not break the quiescence of the deserted campus.
UNIVERSITY SAVES ITS WASTE PAPER
Nearly Ten Tons Collected in a Year to Sell to Paper Mills
600 EXCHANGES ARE RECEIVED
Bulk of Waste Paper Comes From Office of Daily Kansan And Library
Library.
The amount of waste paper that is collected daily at the University and saved for the paper mills is a great deal larger than many realize.
BUT ITS AN ILL WIND—
There are 600 exchanges which come to the Daily Kansan office every day. These papers range from four to forty pages in size, and some of the Sunday editions of the New York papers are saved to the registry to 120 pages. These are all saved, and have been in the office for some time, are hauled off to the waste paper pile.
Although Sunshine Hurts Cafeteria Profits, Good for the Race
It is estimated that about fifty pounds of paper are received daily at the Daily Kansan office alone, and in one month 1500 pounds of papers will have been collected. In a school book, about seven and one half tons have been lifted, and this, added to the amount from the library, makes nearly nine tons.
These lovely spring days are a little hard on the cafeteria's finances. The usual number that obtain their dinner there when the weather is bad is between seventy and eighty, during ordinary weather it is about sixty, while on a day like yesterday the number was brought down to between forty-five and fifty. People would rather take the walk down the hill and enjoy the sunshine than to eat at the cafeteria, however excellent it may be.
This paper is baled and will be sold to the paper mill in Lawrence, which pays an average price of twenty-five cents per hundred pounds.

Students Who Can't Get Home Easter Vacation Will Listen to Chief Executive
Members of the Good Government and Scoop clubs who do not go home for the Easter holidays will listen to Governor Stubbs' address at Fraternal Aid hall Thursday evening. The Governor will discuss state and national issues, and a special invitation has been extended to these organizations as being directly interested in the subject. All students, however, are invited.

University of Pittsburg Appoints Associate Professor to Assist in Research Work
TWO FELLOWSHIPS OFFERED
THEY SAW THE SHOW,BUT DIRECTRESS WAS FURIOUS
Two inquisitive students decided Friday night that they would investigate the many glowing reports that have been forthcoming concerning the Red Domino's play, "Object Matrimony."
But with the aid of a dark-lantern, and skeleton kees, these two made their way through a labyrinth of caves. In the tompmost portion of the balcony.
All of the usual means of entrance to the theater had been locked, however, so that no vulgar eyes could defile the sacred precincts of the rehearsal, and watch the noted directress direct.
Prof. Duncan Wants Chemists to Aie in Extraction of Copper Ore and Find Uses for Cull Lemons
There, far below was the chorus cavorting about in playful antics to the time of music played by the composer himself. One especially active member of the "spar carriers," bostoned out from the ranks to show the others
"It please me very much," said Professor Duncan, "that Dr. Bacon has been appointed as my associate. He is one of the best chemists in the United States, and will be an ideal associate. He will relieve me of a number of responsibility, and will spend most of his time in the laboratory.
Professor Duncan has just returned from an extended trip of investigation to California and Arizona. There is a large quality of low grade copper ore that is practically valueless unless some method can be found for its extraction at a low cost. Professor Duncan announces that he has a fellowship for this purpose.
Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan, professor of Industrial Research at the University of Kansas, head of the industrial science department at the University of Pittsburg, and who is recognized as the third clinical chemist in the country, found that his time has been so fully occupied that it was necessary for the University of Pittsburg to appoint an associate to assist him. Dr. Raymond F. Bacon has given this appointment at a salary of $5,000 per year.
Today
Professor Duncan also has another fellowship which he will lay before the Board of Regents to be passed upon. It is for the purpose of finding a way for the immense quantities of cull lemons and oranges which are produced in California in the groves of California. Professor Duncan received word today that the stipend accompanying this fellowship will be $2100.
Election of the "Superlatives in the Senior Class Held
Adin ner was given at the Buchanan club last night in honor of Miss Mamie Cowman who will leave for Europe or May 10. While in Europe Miss Cowman will visit relatives in Germany
The annual election for the purpose of finding out who the real celebrities of the class, was finished today, and one of their most cast in the senior elections was polled.
The visitors took this as a cue to disappear, and when the amateur electricians finally found the balcony switch, they had vanished.
A JAYHAWKER FEATURE
The annual board has been so buoy that they have not found time to count the ballots, as yet, and any way, Carl Cannon, editor of the annual, which will be one of the big things which they will spring in the Jayhawker.
It is rumored, however, that after they saw the remainder of the show they talked to members of the cast about the incident, and smypathised with the directress, who for the time being was said to be "simply furious."
Above the pandemonium some one gave orders to turn on the balcony

Overwhelming Majority Favors The System Adopted by Kansas Three Years Ago.
Special Dispatch to Daily Kansan:
Stanford University, March 29-
By a vote of 536 to 76 the men students of Stanford University voted today to assume complete self-government. In so doing they availed themselves of the privilege offered some time ago by President David S. Stearns. St. John's from now on, in all cases concerning college discipline, will be judged by the student advisory committee of the university conference.
All matters decided by the student committee must be ratified by the president of the university.
The system of student control has been in vogue at the University of Kansas for the past three years.
7. M. C. A. IS AFTER THE FACULTY'S CASH
Contributions This Year Far Below Last Year's Record
Each member of the faculty will receive this week a circular sent out by the faculty committee of the Y. M. Department of the finances of the organization.
The statement shows that last year the members of the faculty contributed $422 to the Y. M. C. A. So far this year, $170 has been received from them. Ten of the eighty-five who contributed last year are not at the University this year, so the letter contains an appeal for assistance from new members and old ones who did not contribute last year. The circular being is seen outside in the faculty committee of the Y. M. C. A. which is composed of C. A. Nash, E. A. Lodge, Donald McKay, C. F. Hanson and Stanley H. Moistening.
WHO WOULD SCORN $250?
Is Kansas so rich that $250, offered to the students for prize essays, is forced to go begging?
This seems to be the case as there are no competitors yet for essays dealing with 'The application of the teachings of Jesus Christ to practical affairs and relations; social, industrial, commercial, or political.'
The prizes as announced are $100,
first; $75, second; $50, third; and $25,
fourth. The contest closes May 15,
1912.

Professor Trettien Trying to Learn What Children Are Defective and Why
MANY PARENTS ASK FOR ADVICE
University Education Expert Thinks Abnormal Children Need More Attention.
Prof. A. W. Trettien, of the department of Education in co-operation with several others, is -conducting a very minute system of experiments on ten children in different parts of the state. When the experiments are completed, several interesting conclusions can be drawn beside there will be secured a large additional fund of experimental results.
The work of Professor Trettien in examining children who are abnormal in any way is becoming popular. This is due by the large number of parents who contact him for advice or bring their children to him for scientific examination.
"The problem of the abnormal child is a great one, and one to which little attention has been given in the past," said Professor Trettian, "but is plainly the duty of society to correct this condition, and the logical place for this movement to start is in the colleges and universities where the students who intend to become teachers can be taught the principles which underlie the subject, and they in turn can apply the principles to the children whom they teach." Professor Trettian is a firm believer in the theory that if a child is stupid, dull, or is mentally or morally defective in any way, that in the large majority of cases the condition is due to some physical deformity or abnormality These views are indorsed by many of the leading educators, physicians, psychologists, and sociologists.
The undergraduate body of Princeton University are attempting to modify the rule of compulsory chapel attendance. At present they are required to attend chapel twice a week, and half of the weekly Sunday services.
NEW JUICE DISPENSER
Psychology Lab Gets a Switchboard From Electrical Engineering Department
A new switch board has just been completed for the psychology laboratory under the direction of Prof. Geo. C. Schaad of the electrical engineering department.
This board has seventy plugs which connect with the direct current from the outside with the Edison storage batteries and with the various rooms of the psychology laboratory. Twenty-four connect with the batteries and give a steady current of about one volt for use with very delicate instruments. Twenty-seven plugs give currents from one to twelve volts. Twenty-four plugs connect with various rooms, and with each plug another plugs the other plugs any desired voltage. In any room. The remaining plug connects with the voltmeter which it attached to the board, and tests all currents. In connection with the board is a rheostat which reduces the direct current from 110 volts to from 1 to 12 volts.
The Weather.
The reporter for the Daily Kansan had a hard time find the meter twins today. They enjoyed their yesterday frolic on the green grass in front of Fowler Shops so much that they stayed out to play at sunup today.
Finally they were located and after some persuasion announced that tomorrow would be fair and warmer. As the reporter left Baro chased Thermo up a large tree and when last seen Thermo was still going up.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
ON TIME
Already, since the totoy tool has become the instrument of dismissing classes, some of the students have experienced trouble in being held overtime by their instructors. It is fair to suppose that, when the order was given out for class dismissal at the sound of the whistle, students were not supposed to have the right to jump from the chairs and leave on "the exact dot," when the instructor was finishing the explanation of one point. The courtesy of attention is due to the instruction. However, he should not attempt to utilize a part of that ten minutes intermission to introduce a new phase of the subject in hand.
Since no excuses for tardiness are accepted, instructors will aid one another by bringing their remarks to a close immediately after the blast from the whistle.
CRITICISM OF COLLEGE DRAMATICS
No doubt several of our readers have noticed the change in the policy of the Daily Kansan in regard to the dramatic criticism of student productions. It is quite certain that the members of the several casts are aware of such a change and many have been the trying remarks we have had to endure after the stories have been published.
Some of those who have not approved of the way in which certain student productions have been interpreted have expressed the sentiment that the character of "the write up" should be more laudatory—should make the statement for each one of the efforts of the dramatic organizations, that it is the best ever and none can compare with the excellence of the acting.
The criticism of these plays should certainly not be a column of colorless laudatory gaff that is meaningless and rotten in the paper that prints it. It is barely possible that any commendatory remark that has crept into the column of the dramatic critic is more highly prized than would be such a remark enclosed within a column of stuff that is its equal. If the members of the student casts feel that there is a judging power behind their show, that some one withholds his opinion till he is sure of merit, if the individual feels that there is a chance of being "scored" for slighting his role in the drama, a spirit will be engendered that will make for a better presentation by the students.
Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University in one of his recent lectures on the American drama said that dramatic criticism should be a seeking out of all that is best in the literary quality, in the acting, and in the staging of the scenes. The attitude of the critic is a very important thing. He must necessarily be personal in his criticism of actors, but he need not be flippant nor cruel nor dictorial; such writers are not real critics, and their work is the exact negation of true criticism. The office of a critic is
to transmit the true impression of the play to the public and to show them its value; to explain what the artist is trying to do and to help them appreciate his work.
FOR A DORMITORY
It is reported that $1,200,000 of the $1,860,000 needed for the construction of the proposed group of freshman dormitories at Harvard University have already been pledged to the alumnium committee that is in charge of the fund. This is significant of the interest that is taken in the University by the members of the alumni associations of some of the eastern colleges.
It also reminds Kansas of the dormitory building for the young women for which the alumni association is endeavoring to raise money, and it shows the difference in the spirit of the alumnus of the East and of the West.
For nearly four months the committee in charge of the fund, the young women and even the young men have been working hard to swell the fund for this dormitory building. Indeed, the young men added one of the largest contributions to the fund last night when they staged the Indoor Circus in the gymnasium before a packed house. Our dormitory is growing, but apparently too slowly to predict results in the near future. One fifteenth of the amount necessary to begin construction work has been pledged and that money represents the contributions of many of the members of the alumni association and others interested in the building. When the building is obtained it will represent the interests of many people of the entire country, being the fruit of the contributions of most of the roll of the alumni association. Many of the alumni have not yet handed in their share and the quicker they do that and larger portion they are able to give, the more speedily will results be obtained on the campus toward the erection of a home for the University young women.

Western college graduates are worth at least $15 a week, in the opinion of Pres. Charles T. Thwing of Western Reserve University.
"An educator in the East recently placed the value of Eastern graduates at $6 a week," said President Thwing. "My experience is that Western graduates can command at least $9 more than that."

MAN had lost his way in a wooded area, and was roaming about, a SATyr came up to him, and finding that he had lost his way, promised to give him a lodging for the night, and went home early morning. As he went along to the Satyr's cell, the Man raised both his hands to his mouth and kept on blowing at them. "What do you do in this place?" he asked.

After this they arrived at the Satyr's home, and soon the Satyr put a smoking dish of porridge before him. But Mr. Satyr said the mouth he brought upon it. "And what do you do that for?" said the Satyr.

THE FRESHMAN YEAR
THE freshman, who is not under athletic discipline and whose financial circumstances are easy, is apt to enjoy about one month of exhilarating freedom, hilarity and frivolity. He finds that he is under no such restrictions as existed at the school at which he prepared for college. He cuts a recitation and nothing is said about it. He stays up—and out—half the night, and nobody seems to care. He smokes publicly as well as privately, and no one seems to care. In some of his courses he does not have to prepare a daily lesson, because there are lectures instead of recitations.
He goes to class with a note-book in which he jots down as many of the lecturer's points as he deems important. These notes, read afterwards, have a curious meaninglessness, a disconnected and hungled quality which gives him a rather low opinion of the lecturer's vague in his utterance. He can certainly not come into any very practical relation with one's life; probably he will never show that he is aware of one's existence.
It is a comfortable feeling. There is nothing to interfere with the delightful occupation of making and seeing friends—which includes seeing "shows," playing pool and billiards having late suppers and coming home in early morning taxicabs. It is a beautiful world in which there are no penalties. There are no study hours to be observed, there is no being "kept in after school" to atone for failures.
OMINOUS EXAMS APPROACH
Then one morning the lecturer in European history, who has been setting forth in tireless fashion the geographical altercations occasioned by the performances of Charlemagne, concludes by remarking, "Gentlemen," and not yet has the freshman quite adjusted himself to the pleasurable shock of being addressed collectively as "Gentlemen" instead of "Boys"; "Gentlemen, there will be an hour examination in this subject one week from today."
There is a low groan at the announcement; two or three relieve their feelings by a facetious whistle. The class is dismissed; groups saunter off in different directions, discussing the probable importance of an hour examination and the bearing that a failure in it may limit their careers. You don't take it very seriously until they meet some serious man and ask him for information. Then it appears that the first hour examination is about the meanest test that a man is ever called upon to undergo.
"No, they wouldn't fire him, but they might put him on probation. Then he can't play on any team, and he is watched all the time, and if he falls again in the mid-years, he's kicked out of school. And dwindles a lot after the mid-years. And it's the hour exams in the fall that start the trouble."
"They make it stuff on purpose," explains the upper classman. "There are always a lot of loafers and sports in the class that have to be weeded out, and the sooner the better. There are a lot of others that are not quite so bad but they do not want to anything." They wouldn't fire a fallow just for flunking an hour examination", asks the freshman, agast.

his room and looks over his notes and finds how little they convey to his mind, he feels desperate. However, there are references to reading that may prove illuminating. He visits the library, and finds that other desperate freshmen have forestalled him. Every book that has been prescribed is now in someone's hands. Most of them are volumes in expensive sets, and the freshman who is ready, to spend money quite freely on dimmers and heaters, will talk as he heavy-outs for books of a scholastic nature which are not ornamental in their binding. He learns that there is another recourse open to him, and his hearts soak again.
There is an expensive tutor—there always is—who for years and years has made a practice of extricating freshmen from just such difficulties. He supplies the applicant with a volume of very full typewritten notes transcribed from the instructor's lectures. "Learn this date" is an adjuration found frequently upon the papers; and "Be sure to bear in mind this fact." But the freshman is given to understand that the printed notes alone are too precarious a guide; relying on them and nothing else he can hardly hope to pass.
SEMINAR A CRAMMING MATCH
He passes the examination—not with distinction but with a “Gentleman’s mark. Similar frantic exertions succeed in securing for him this same mark in the other hour examinations which are now in quick succession launched at him by Stanwood Pier, December Metropolitan.
The day before the examination the tutor gives a "seminar" which lasts from two to three hours. On the walls of his room are blackboards on which he has drawn various maps. He stands behind his class of students who are now literally thirsting for information, and lectures to them slowly, clearly, repeating and emphasizing certain points. The freshman comes from his three hour session exhausted, but with a number of subjects which he feels able to write a concise and definite paragraph upon. So defily has the tutor been able to select these subjects that the next morning the freshman is gratified to see that four out of the six questions have been provided for.

Chicago's pension system have now been worked out, and it is announced that the funds available will provide at once for 200 teachers, the pensions paid varying from $1000 to $3000. At present the university is paying pensions to six retired members of the faculty.
Under the new rule any professor or assistant professor of 15 years standing may retire at 65 or may be retired by the trustees on a pension based on length of service, but not to be less than 40 per cent nor more than 60 per cent of the average salary. The widow of such a pensioner will be entitled to half this allowance.
At present heads of the departments are paid from $4500 to $6000, professors from $3000 to $4500, associate professors from $2500 to $3,000, and assistant professors $2000 and $2500 after four year's service. It is estimated that the amount cost for each professor will be set aside for the purpose from Mr. Rockefeller's latest endowment of $10,000.
It makes no difference to the pensioner whether his money comes from steel or coal oil, but it cannot be both. Whatever may be the effect of these great gifts on the independence of colleges, they will do much to relieve the heartless treatment of teachers which has been a blot on the administration of American colleges.
A Vassar girl, the only American speaker at the Woman's Congress in Berlin, made a plea in favor of coeducation.

If a river has feelings and is human enough to dislike work, the Kansas river has no friendly regard for J. D. Bowersock of Laurence. It was Mr. Bowersock who put the Kaw on the job of turning out light and power for Laurence and her industries. His is the only power plant on the river.
Everybody knows what waterpower means to a town. Lawrence is a flourishing example of the benefits that flow from a big river hooked up to a big dam and a power plant.
In considering Lawrence as a location for business, look into its advantages in the matter of power.

Prof. Stimson Says State Hasn't Enough Weight and Measure Inspectors
FIND MANY INACCURACIES
The Weight of Container is Often Counted to Merchants' Advantage-Confuse Other Standards,
But four men are inspecting the food and testing the scales and measures of the state of Kansas. These men can in no possible way cover the territory assigned to them. As a result, they must report the laws short lengths and the laws enacted in 1900 regarding weights and measures are of little practical value.
Such is the information given out today, by the deputy state sealer, Evan Johnson, of the state weights and means casting laboratory at the University.
INACCURACIES ARE FREQUENT.
"These poor conditions are in no way the fault of the men in the field," continued Professor Stimson, "but they were the result of an employer by the state for that purpose."
In one of the largest business houses in Pittsburgh, but one accurate scales was found. Four other places were visited and the scaled to scale were found to be inaccurate.
CONTAINERS BOOST WEIGHT.
"This," said the Professor, "is only a sample of what is found in almost every city and town of the state."
The most frequent shortages are found in foods that are bought by the pound, such as sugar, flour, prunes, potatoes, butter and lard. The shortage in butter is generally due to its being weighed in wooden dishes, which weigh anywhere from half an ounce to an ounce.
MEASURES OFTEN CONFUSED.
These are some of the most common violations that are especially forbidden by the law.
Sugar is weighed in heavy blue paper bags which take off a large percentage. Potatoes are sold by measure instead of weight. Lard, when not frozen, can be used on dishes, is sold in tin buckets that weigh from eight ounces to a pound.
The law states what shall be measured and the kind of measures to be used.
The measures used by the merchants are often too small. There is a constant confusion of the dry and liquid measure that always works to the merchants benefit. Oil oils used by tanks in supply plants are very short on every gallons. Besides these, old and cheap measures are found in constant use.
For you easter greeting why send a piece of pasteboard. Send a box of chocolates, they touch the heart. Wiedemann's—Adv.
"This state of affairs will not be bettered until more inspectors are sent out, or until every town provides its own inspector as is suggested in the statement," concluded Professor Stimson.

Each player must be masked. A large crowd turned out to see the game. The boys thought the girls would be easy. Although playing under girls rules was somewhat awkward for the boys, they played well, but not nearly so well as the girls. When the first half was over, all players discarded their masks. The so called "girls" turned out to be the members of the boys first team. The final score was 30 to 21 in favor of the "girls."

THREE WEEKS BEHIND TIME
But They Spirng up Over Night When
Winter Goes to Sleep On
the Job
The spring flowers of the campus, whose blooms have been delayed for three weeks on account of the unusual cold weather, are fairly bursting with spring energy and will appear in the fall. In a moment now that the snow has disappeared.
The dog's-tooth violet, which has been due since March 10, will be the first to show its face. This flower belongs to the lily family and is not a violet. It gets its name from the white flower, open and shows the shining white seeds, which give it the appearance of a dog's mouth, open and with bared teeth.
TREES ARE ALSO TARDY.
The maples ordinarily in bloom in February are now only budding, while the red-bud tree, of which there is a few year-round habit, will bloom in about three weeks Hall, will bloom in about three weeks
One of the most beautiful of the flowers on the hill, the yellow-star grass, which is a distant cousin of the amaryllis, will appear shortly after the dog's-tooth violet. Then students will notice the appearance of the common violet, of which there are several species; the common blue crow's foot violet, of which are many as the smooth and hairy-stemmed yellow violet. The most beautiful of all violets, the bird's-foot violet, as yet will not thrive on the hill. This flourishes best in Moraine deposits, such as are found on Blue Mountain.
The last of the campus flowers to appear and probably the most noted and conspicuous, are the lilies, which form an attractive hedge along the east edge of the campus. They will be in evidence the latter part of May.
WILL BE A GARDEN-LIKE CAMPUS.
After the violet the campus will be flooded with flowers—the anemone, the purple and yellow-blossomed members of pea family and the blue-eyed grass.
It is time now for the blooming of the Carolina shumac and hazel-nuts, and as all of the trees are waiting for the slightest chance to bloom, the elms box-adlers, oaks, walnuts, hickories, will begin to bloom in quick succession.

WILL SEND TEAM TO BLUE DIAMOND MEET
Twenty-Five Jayhawkers Wil Peddle Around Convention Hall Saturday Night
Kansas will enter twenty five men in the Blue Diamond handicap meet at Kansas City Sartard night. The squad will consist of the Varsity team and a number of freshmen who have shown up well in spring trouts.
The big event which Director Reilly of K. C. A. C. is planning to stage will be a half mile between Melvin Shepard, probably the best distance man in the country and Captain Bermond of the Tigers. There is small chance that Bermond will finish inside the money as he has been beaten on several occasions by Davenport of Chicago.
Last year Kansas won the meet with a score of twenty-nine points.
Kansas and Missouri will mix in another relay race and there is more than a bare possibility that Kansas will win the meet and meets Sheppard in the match race.
The following Kansas entries have been made:
Handicap 50 yards—Babb, Kabler,

TRIES OUT EXTRACT IN A NOVEL MANNER
Professor Jackson Asks Women's Opinion—Simple Test For Lemon Extract
Following his work of analyzing various flavoring extracts, Prof. H. Louis Jackson, of the department of food analysis, has subjected eight of them to an interesting experiment. One of the products of the products as flavoring extracts.
He prepared a quantity of corn starch pudding and divided the whole into eight separate dishes. He then flavored each with a different extract. Three of the puddings were flavored so-called strawberry, three with raspberry two with banana. Each extract has been put out by a different company.
The professor then called four young women to his aid. One of them is a student in the department of Domestic Science. These girls were to sample the puddings and to name the flavors. One tested three flavors out of the eight, correctly; the second, two, the third, one; and the fourth, two. They found strawberry to be the poorest of all the extracts.
According to Professor Jackson, any housewife can detect artificial lemon extract by two very simple tests.
A TEST FOR STAN DARD LEMON.
"All a person has to do, is to shake
the bottle of the flavoring extract.
If the foam, produced by the shaking,
leaves at once, the extract is standard.
"This is the best test," continued the professor, "but there is the other one as a last resort. Just pour a little of your lemon flavoring into a glass of water. If the extract is standard, it will be sweet and delicious. This is due to the precipitation of the alcohol, which leaves the oil to give the milky color."

Speaking of laughs, there was the ancient one-man baseball game, by Younggreen. The old feature was dressed in new habiliments, and went well, but the sporting editor of the Daily Kansan says it is as old as Cap Anson himself.
The sailors executed some fancy hornpipe stuff, but interest in them arose mainly from the fact that they were from the battlehill Kansas.
H. C. Dunn the human pretzel, was a wonder with the twists and squirms. His act almost made the world laugh. He's also antics as the inspired god of lilliput.
SPOTTIS TOO MODEST
Ralph Spotts as ringmaster was perfect. The only thing wrong with his work was that it was not enough in evidence. He modestly kept himself behind the scenes too much.
The after concert had one great merit. It was natural. True to form and correctly represented all the big circus after-concerts. That is, it was not long enough. However none
can cavil at the quality. Goldman at the piano, Lawrence and Co., with the mandolins, Musselman and Graham as the musical clowns, deserve more than passing notice. Young-ok's melodramma is getting old but is so good that it will last out the semester, two or three more presentations at least.
ROOT DID IT
Many other features are deserving of praise, but suffice it to say, that seldom does a great University show such a feeling of good fellowship and thoroughly happy and carefree "red-lemonade" spirit in a commendable sense than was manifested by the students. Chancellor himself were present and helped scatter the sunshine of good cheer.

PLOT OF "OBJECT MATRIMONY"
Red Domino's Play a Product of University Authors—Editors to Attend Tuesday Evening
The Red Domino's play, "Object,
Matrimony" is ready for production
Tuesday and Wednesday nights. A
number of seats have been set aside
for the editors who will attend Tuesday
evening. The dress rehearsal will be held tonight.
Jessica and Lelia Farmsworth are staying with their parents at a popular summer resort. Mr. Farmsworth had made an agreement with a Mr. Wayne a long time ago, that their daughter and son should marry when they became of age. Mr. Wayne has died some time before the opening of the play and in his will be stated that his son Jack, should be disinherited unless he married Lelia Farmsworth.
THE MYSTERIOUS SUIT CASE
Jack has never met Lelia, so he takes his friend, Jim Wiggins, to the hotel with him, and they agree to change names. Jim Wiggins as Wayne, meets Lelia, and of course she hates him, but falls in love with the real Wayne, who is queerading as Wiggins. Wiggins, however, falls in love with Jessica who has just been dying to meet a new man since she has had only eleven proposals in ten days.
MASSON AND STONE WILL TALK IN GYM
A short synopsis of the play follows:
THE MYSTERIOUS SUIT CASE
The mysterious suit case now comes upon the scene. Wayne has told Lelia that he has some things in his suit case which he wants to show her. When he opens the case before Lelia and her parents, however, he finds a bottle of whiskey, cigars, wigs, grease picture, pictures, and a pair of ladies silk stockings. It seems that Jack's suit case had been changed with a "ham" actor, who had one exactly like it. This incident causes a break between the two lovers, and gives Buttons, the hop who is an amateur detective, an opportunity to get in some good work.
THE DIFFICULTY HAS PASSED
The second act deals with the explanations and the clearing up of all difficulties. Lielia and Jack become engaged as do Jessica and Jim, but their troubles are not all over, for they have to explain why they changed their names.
There are a large number of good songs written by Arvid Frank which aid to the show, and one of them is "I'll be sure it's" said to be a very catchy song.
Want to Sell Tickets?
The entire play was written by Earl Moore, a sophomore in the College.
Students are desired to assist in selling tickets for the music Festival next week. A cash commission of 10% is allowed on all sales. Apply to Dean Skilton.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Fools make feasts, and wise men eat them.
The editors of Kansas, having hung a few reams of time copy on the hook, and having given a few parting instructions to the foreman and a few more to the girl in the office, have come to Lawrence to find out from each other just how things are going all along the firing line. The Kansas editors have much in common—everything, in fact, since the editor's interests must embrace everything. They will put in long hours during these two days of the editorial meeting in talking over the state of national affairs, the price of print paper, the mismanagement of political campaigns this year, the proper and maximum charge for candidates' cards and the secrets of collecting therefor, and a hundred other things that perplex the editorial mind from day to day in a state where the operations of the editorial mind play as great a part as they do in Kansas.
But the editors have also come to Lawrence to have a good time—in addition to the fun of talking shop. They expect to have some attention shown to them and they will not be disappointed. They are men and women who appreciate courtesies and know how to receive their gracefully. The citizens of the town and students of the University are united in the purpose of seeing to it that there is something going on all the time.
Tomorrow the newspaper men will be guests of the University. Let every student and every member of the faculty hold himself in readiness to act the part of host on every occasion that offers.
Colonel Joe Rank of the Atchison Globe, after suffering the ills of bachelorhood more than seventy years—it seemed that long to him—has taken unto himself a wife. Joe is set in his ways, and inclined to be a crank, but if Mrs. Rank is firm, she will be able to manage him as easily as the other newspaper wives manage their husbands.
EASTERN AND WESTERN FOOT-
BALL
Steps to withdraw football from the supervision of the national rules committee, which is dominated by Walter Camp, have been taken by the Western Conference. President James, of the University of Illinois, declared recently to the students there, that the Western Conference, re-organized, will draft its own code of rules independent of the action of the national rules committee.
Instead of sending a few delegates, whose work at the meeting of the rules committee in the East can, at most, amount to very little, the "big eight" will break loose and make rules that provide the kind of game the men in the Middle West want to play, not what some dictator of the East may think they ought to play and what a few pampered schools there may want.
This break in the influence of the East over the character of the game of football that is played in
West has been penalized nearly a year and in the event of such a revolution being carried out the movement probably will be reflected in the character of the game that is played by the members of the Missouri Valley Conference. At the close of the last season, football authorities in the East were not satisfied with the game, since it gave the lighter team a better chance to make good against a heavy opponent. This feature proved detrimental to some of the larger university teams. In the West, however, the game was considered fairly satisfactory and the governing boards of several of the members of the Missouri Valley Conference have expressed the opinion that the game should stand as it is and that any change to make for the old style of play will endanger its good standing among the schools of the Valley now.
In order to see that the character of the game is not radically altered, the rules committee of the Missouri Valley Conference is now ascertaining the exact nature of the changes that the revised rules of the national committee will effect in the game. This committee holds the power to draw up a code for the members of the Conference that may break with the national rules committee and maintain the character of the game as it was played last fall.
The result of their investigation will determine in a large measure the attitude of the Missouri Valley Conference toward the rules of the national committee and may mean a break between the West and the East in regard to the character of football analogous to the present basket-ball situation.
F. L. Vandergrift, editor of the Earth, a Santa Fe railroad publication, has material for a history of Kansas, to be published soon. One chapter will be about the Bowersock hornless catfish.
EATING
The University takes pride in being the host of a goodly bunch of the editors of the state at a lunchon on the hill tomorrow. Some of the newspaper men have come long distances to hear discussions ofsubjects vital to their profession, yet they have to take a portion of their precious time in Lawrence for—eating.
It isn't time wasted.
That's why the Daily Kansan pricks up its ears every time it hears "catferia" or "commons" mentioned.
Eating was invented before newspapers—even before college curricula. Neither can exist unless people eat.
The time is coming when the editors can assemble in convention at the University and at noon sit down to a good meal with most of the student body in a commodius "commons."
We want it to happen while some of the students now on earth are still here.

AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
THE Wind and the Sun were dis putting which was the stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveler coming said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveller to take a cloak shall be re-arranged, but I see no more cload. So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it would the traveller. But harder blew the more closed the traveller wrap his cloak round him, till at last the Wind had gone up in despair. Then the Sun came out and touched the traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his coat on.

DADDY OF KANSAS
Editor of the Herald of Freedom, Embroiled in Four Years of Border Warfare, Was Often Disabled by Marauding Missourians and Balky Machinery.
PAPERS HAD HARD TIME
---
time was the Herald of Freedom. The first issue was printed in the East, and was distributed in Wakarusa, now called Lawrence, October 6, 1854. The second issue was printed in Lawrence City, January 6, 1855 with G. W. Brown as editor. The paper consisted of four pages of eight columns each, and according to the editor, was "printed by steam."
From the first, the editor had plenty of troubles, some of which were: his inability to get sufficient help to print the paper; the fear of marauders from Missouri; the frequent freezing of his stock of paper which had got wet and was insufficiently protected from the weather; the failure of his stock of paper; the peril that it was most needed, and the necessity of printing the paper by the light of a dim lamp when lack of time forced the work into the night.

THE EDITOR WAS DEATH.
After several threats had been mad by the Missourians of destroying the plant of the Herald of Freedom, the editor optimistically publishes the following: "If Missouri desires to quadruple the natural emigration from the free states during the ensuing season, it will strike a deal. The state should only resort in Missouri, let these resort to some act of violence. Our own poor life is a minor consideration to that of freedom for a great state, such as Missouri, and as for our printing office, a few thousand dollars, which could be raised in the eastern cities in one hour after the arrival there of a telegraph despatch announcing the event, would purchase another equally as good, and a few thousand more would entrench it beyond the reach of a rabble, made crazy by fanatism or intoxication."

Probably the "hottest" issues which the paper ever turned out were the ones fired at the Missourians when they attempted to take Lawrence. In August, 1856, the Missouriers had built forts along the Wakarua river a few miles south of Lawrence, and were ready to sack it, when the settlers in the little city rallied, and bringing an old cannon into service, started to drive the invaders from their stronghold. It was found that plenty of powder was at hand for the cannon, but that the projectiles were missing. The Herald of Freedom came to the rescue at once, and offered its type and press as shot for the cannon. The paper's type was accordingly moulded into bullets and the Missourians were quickly put to flight.

TO ANALYZE WATER OF KANSAS TOWNS
Professor Young Sends Circular Letter Asking For Samples.
SUBJECTED TO THREE TESTS
Contamination Does Not Necessarily Mean Disease Germs—Lawrence Water in Excellent Condition
Professor C. C, Young, head of the water analysis department recently sent out requests to 169 Kansas towns, requesting that a sample of the water in that locality be sent to the University for analysis every three months.
As a result, the samples in send have increased so that the various departments concerned in the work are kept constantly busy. In order to insure receiving the water in the same condition as it is sent, it is necessary that the university send out sterilized containers in which the water is sent back.
Usually a surplus of containers is on hand at the University, but at present all of them are out over the state. This is because the snow which has covered the state so long, has prevented the securing of samples in the water, making water of certain communities, and has prevented prompt transportation.
UNDERGOES THREE TESTS.
UNDERGES THREE TESTS.
Whether or not water is infected,
cannot be determined by any one
process. The results of three tests
must show that the water is contaminated
before it is condemned. The sample
sent in is divided between the chemical
and the bacteriological departments.
Professor Noble Sherwool and Miss Greenfield have charge of the bacteriological analysis. They test for the presence of bacillus coli in the water,
Ox bile is procured from Swift and Co. of Kansas City. To a solution of the tile and water there is added one percent of milk sugar and one percent of peptones. If bacillus coli is present the solution ferments and a gas is formed. Since there is a chance for errors, a chemical test is also made.
Prof. C, C. Young, F. W. Bruckmiller and C. G. Bragg make the chemical analysis. The chief aim of this test is to discover nitrates in the water. The bacillus coli turn the nitrite compounds into nitrates, and consequently, there is an abnormal amount of nitrates in the water, it is condemned. A sanitary survey is also made near the place where the water comes from, in order to determine the source of the contamination. This is made by sending out a list of questions from the University.
DISEASE GERMS NOT MAIN OBJECT.
These tests are not made directly to discover the presence of typhoid or other disease germs, as is naturally presumed, but to discover whether or not it is contaminated. When the patient has been treated with typhoid and other disease germs, and it may not. In either case it is not fit for use, so condemned.
Mr. Sherwood says that the city water at present is in excellent condition. Its shows only fifty organisms to the cubic centimeter when viewed from above. The injected water contains at least five hundred organisms to the cubic centimeter.

President Taft's son Robert, who leads his class in Harvard law school was recently elected editor-in-chief of the Harvard Law Review. The paper is published by students in the law school and an election to its board is an honor.

JAYHAWKERS LED IN HANDICAP MEET
Varsity Scored Twenty Points and the Freshmen Took Eleven
USUAL RESULT IN THE RELAY
Yard Dash
Kansas Men Placed in Every Even With The Exception of the Fifty
If there were such a thing as winning a handicap meet, Kansas would have been returned the victor in the K. C. A. C. meet, held in Convention hall Saturday night.
Kansas scored thirty-one points in all. Of these the varsity men gathered twenty and the freshmen, who were entered unattached, took down eleven.
The K. U. athletes took first and second places in the mile and the pole vault and placed two men in the quarter and in the 50 yard hurdles.
MISSOURI WON THE RELAY
MISSOURI WON THE RELAY
As usual the relay went to Missouri though it was in the style that has been the development of this season. Missouri won in the first half mile instead of in the last quarter. Smith who ran last for Kansas put up the race of his life and held Captain Bermond of Missouri to the lead he started with in spite of the fact that the Missouri flyer had started out to make a record.
Captain French, who had been at his home in Pittsburgh, did not get to Kansas City in time to take part in the meet and Nicholson had much his own way in that event.
One of the feature runs was the relay between Missouri and Kansas alumni. Shannon Douglass, jr., Neall, Tidd and Jay Wytt ran for Missouri, while Rice, Watson, Koe-

ADMISSION 5Oc
Following is the resolution which is intended as the first step toward confluence.
Resolved, That the faculty representatives of each university in the conference must be persons who receive no pay for any services connected with athletics or the department of physical culture.
The resolution which disposes of the positions of Coach Stagg and Director Ehler follows a long series of criticisms by some conference colleges to the effect that athletic directors should not represent the faculties. A majority of these colleges are introduced by Professor James Paige of Minnesota, and which reads as follows:
Resolved, That each member of the conference designate a man from his institution to serve on a technical hand and to make a report to this conference.
Student Enterprise Tickets good for half admission fee.
REVOLUTION IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE
A committee of three was appointed to investigate inducements made to athletes to enter universities and payment of students for miscellaneous services. Intercollegiate basket ball, baseball and track cards were provided to participants in the conference water polo as a conference sport will be considered.
These resolutions will become rules unless one or more colleges protest within sixty days.
Stagg and Ehler Are Ousted From the Board of Control
EXPLAINS ON ACADEMIC AFFAIRS.
Coach A. Alonzo Stagg of the University of Chicago and George W. Ehler, athletic director of the University of Wisconsin, were ruled out of the ranks of conference faculty representatives at the meeting of the "big eight" delegates in Chicago Saturday. The professors voted against the membership of physical culture officials in the governing body in future, and will use the services of the athletic authorities in framing a set of football rules for the use of the conference institutions.
WILL INVESTIGATE ATHLETICS PURITY
The representatives voted against the summer baseball compromise, defending the "pro" issue once and for all. The resolution favoring eligibility based on scholarship only was lost. The dele gates admitted Ohio State University.
The action of the representatives finally divorced the scholastic and technical sides of athletics, deciding to confine the duties of the faculty representatives to matters of academic bearing Stagg and the other directors will rule on technical questions as members of special committees.
Professor T. F, Moran of Purdue, who acted as secretary in the absence of Director Ehler, explained that the resolutions were the outgrowth of a new conference sentiment favoring greater accountability in academic matters by the "big eight."
ARE YOU CURIOUS? 1323?
The defeat of the dual representation scheme was directly in opposition to the wishes of the "big eight" presidents expressed at their recent meeting at the University club. The presidents unanimously recommended to their faculties "that the conference rules be amended so that each institution will be represented by two members of the faculty, at least one of whom shall have no connection with the department of physical training."
If you are, it will pay you to scan this same space carefully. Tuesday's issue of the Kansan will enlighten you further.

In speaking of the worth of publicity, Mr. Valentine said, "The real worth of publicity is not so much in selling some one article, as in impressing upon the general public, that what you have to sell is the best to be secured. Most people are impressed by general and consistent advertising. So a newspaper, in its publicity campaign, should endeavor to impress upon the minds of the community, the one idea that it is the best paper, both for readers and advertisers."
"Any merchant who does not make a substantial advertising appropriation is regarded as a dead one. Yet the newspaper man who, each year sets aside a definite sum of money to be expended in advertising purposes is, I am afraid, hard to find."

In the Masonic Temple 350 Enjoyed Dinner Last
Night
BRILLIANT TALKS FOLLOWED
Toastmaster Morgan Pulled off an Impromptu Program That Was Full of Wit And Wisdom
Three hundred and fifty diners, members of the Kansas State Editor'ia Association and their wives and invited guests were subcribers last night to a gastronomic edition de luxe published in the basement of the Masonic Temple by the Merchants Association of Lawrence. It was delivered by the domestic science classes of the Lawrence High School.
An orchestra of twenty pieces, lead by C. O. Brown, and composed of players from the Congregational Baptist Churches, furnished the music.

After the banquet W. Y. Morgan, toastmaster, in his introductory speech complimented the "Baedeker," the souvenir prepared by the students in the department of journalism. He then introduced J. D. Bowersock as "the foremost citizen of Lawrence, the owner of the finest dam on the Kaw river, and master of the only herd of hornless cat-fish on the Kaw river."
Mr. Bowersock in a few words of welcome turned the city over to the editors, offering them the use of the banking and other business facilities provided by Morgan then introduced Ewing Hubert of The Brown County World.
Mr. Herbert expressed appreciation of the fine dinner and the pretty girls who served it. Speaking of Mr. Bowersock's reference to the banks, Mr. Herbert said, "About the only thing I ever had in a bank was a brother-in-law." The speaker comparing the old Lawrence of unsettled times to the Lawrence of today. "It is not exactly true that this state is made by the newspaper men said Mr. Herbert, "but it is heralded by them. Every editor is proud not only of his own town, but of his fel low-editor's town and of the stat as a whole."
The toastmaster then introduced Mr. Tom Masson of Life "Whom," he said, "everyone knows."
Mr. Masson said that the tales he had heard of banking in Lawrence reminded him of his first appearance in banking circles. Then followed an inimitable tale of Mr. Masson's first deposit, $56. This he said prejudiced him deeply against financial institutions and it ought to prejudice financial institutions against him.
And then there was the story of the man who confessed to a priest that he worked on a newspaper.
Then followed other stories of delightful originality which enlisted the entire company under "Life's" banner.
Mr. Morgan then led out Homen Hoch of the Marion Record who he described as making barrels of money. "I have two reasons for speaking tonight. One of them is that I heard a man talking about my
hot-air. The other is that I do not wish to detract from Dodd Gaston tomorrow as he may not again be present at the State Editorial Association.
"I think it is a good thing for the editors to gather and talk about how great they are," Mr. Hoch said, "It is such a relief."
"Another man from the east, the general manager of the Associated Press, Melville E. Stone," introduced toastmaster Morgan.
Mr. Stone spoke of the quality of mind which makes a good newsgatherer as being akin to that of the inventor.
"Perhaps," he said, "all newspaper men do not understand the Associated Press. First, it is distinctly American as is the gathering of the people; we are gathering began in Boston approximately one hundred years ago."
Mr. Stone then continued with a history of early gathering among missionaries, among other missions.
The co-operative principle," said Mr. Stone, is essential to truthfully report the news of the world. Its automatic censorship makes biased, dishonest reports absolutely impossible."
Mr. Stone then told how the world
was organized, Associated Press
and its allied services.
In conclusion the speaker said that an Associated Press war-correspondent must be braver than any soldier and of absolute integrity. As an instance, he told of an army officer who let an Associated Press man censor his own dispatches.
Sam Osterhold of the Holton Signal, who has a new wife and a new linotype, says he doesn't know how he succeeded in getting along without either of them.
The G. U. S. Harvey collection of Indian relics, part of which has previously been placed temporarily in a case in the museum, is being arranged in larger cases, so as to give it the extensive display that it deserves. This collection was recently obtained by assistant Paleontologist, H. T. Martin and is one of the largest and best of its kind. It contains over seven thousand specimens, from the Indian tribes of Kansas. Col. Harvey spent many years in making this valuable collection.

Aroused by Daily Kansar Story, Pittsburg Suggests a High Dog Tax
I
A few days ago the Daily Kannsa published an article by Dr. Sudler complaining of the prevalence of hydrophobia and suggesting more stringent laws for the regulation of dogs.
JACK HENDERSON
This article was copied by the Pittsburgh Headlight, and G. J. Kniveton of that city sent a letter to Dr. Sudler approving his action and also suggesting a law which he believes would have the desired effect. Following is the letter:
"I see by the Pittsburg Headlight your complaint regarding the prevalence of hydrophobia and wish to make a few suggestions as to its solution.
"A big tax would be the only solution, and the money would be well placed if used in the construction of substantial culverts, for instance.
Mary Alice
"A law should be enacted compelling every dog owner to pay at least $3.00 per head a year, which would cause a large decrease in the canine business. I know several families who cannot afford the bare necessities of life, and yet have from one to two and three starving curs around them.
Toastmaster Morgan
"The county game warden would be the right person to collect the tax and should be allowed a certain per cent. dollars could be furnished by the state "pen" every year and paid for by the dog owner. A stringent law must be passed or the situation will grow worse instead of better

THEIR CURIOSITY HELPS WOMEN
"In many ways women have advantage over men in the newspaper business," continued Miss Carlson.
"The they are often better news-gatherers than men. Curiosity is one of the assets of the reporter, and you know a woman's curiosity is proverbial."
Miss Carlson believes that women as well as men should learn the newspaper business "from the ground up."

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Pride that dines on vanity, sups or contempt.
THE LURE OF NEWSPAPERDOM
THE LURE OF NEWSPAPEROS
The Kansas paragrapher who said,
the other day, that in view of the
uncertainty of the financial returns
from the business, not more than
four hundred of the four hundred
seventy-five graduates of the University
this year were expected to enter
the newspaper field, overlooked
the fact that the state editorial association would hold its annual meeting here at the University. He should raise his estimates if he cares anything about his record as a forecaster.
Every University student has doubtless known something about editors, but few of them have had, before this week, the opportunity of seeing a representative body of editors together in state assembly as important as the one now in session in this town.
The judgment of the student can not be other than that he is meeting a mighty fine lot of men and women. They are men and women who bear public responsibilities—who regard their obligations seriously and discharge them faithfully. They are men and women who have learned charity towards their fellows by a long and thorough course in the observation of human frailties. They are people of genuine worth unmarked by the cheap label of ostentation. They are the sort of men and women whose faces and whose words bear witness to the genuineness of their lives and the worthiness of their calling.
No, if four hundred of us were headed into the newspaper game yesterday, there are a lot more moving in that direction today.
A LOAFING PLACE
Many of the editors who are with us now were doubtless, at some time or another, students at the University, and they all know some of the students who are here now. Some time when the editors hold their meeting at the University again, the Kansan hopes that they will have a common meeting ground—a loafing place where men can be at ease.
How fine it would be if all the old students along with the others who are guests of the University for the first time, could step over to the Students' Union building to rest and talk and do positively nothing for an hour or two. Sit there in the great spacious smoking room enjoying their visit in the large, easy chairs—the immense, luxurious kind with deep, soft cushions in which the tired sight-seer could lie back at full length and rest till "the cows came home." There he could brace his feet upon the fender of the fire-place, or if he wanted to go high while he is here, he could put them on the mantel piece. There would be books and magazines, papers—yes, solid comfort for the men, a place where they could bend all their efforts on the defeat of that fagged-out feeling.
Shortly before the Christmas vacation, a campaign for such a Men's Student Union building, was started
by the Student Council. The efforts of the entire student body were solicited and a report of the results of the work done during the vacation was promised, when the returns should be tabulated.
Nothing has been forthcoming yet. No financial statement has been published showing the status of the Men's Student Union fund—the plans that were so elaborate have not been developed—apparently nothing has been done. At least the silence that accompanies mention of the Union presses nothing and it grows not only monotonous but also alarming.
The members of the Student Council who are in charge of the Union fund could start now their campaign for the summer vacation, a time when a great deal of work should be done in the interest of the Union—when the students meet the people over the entire state and have the time to show them that such a building is actually needed on the campus of the University and that the people of the state should provide it. Is it not time to begin the work of the summer campaign for the Union and this time prosecute it to the fullest extent?
LOCAL HISTORIC SPOTS
Lawrence is a city of great histori interest. As the headquarters of the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Company and the principal free-state settlement, it became the storm center of the territorial struggle and as that struggle was the immediate prelude of the Civil War, it can scarcely be claimed that even Boston or Old Virginia were the sources of many of these events.
the scene of events of more far reaching and vital importance.
Some four years ago, under the auspices of the department of history in the University, assisted by subscriptions from leading citizens in the town, a woman was made matron with appropriate training and taught the points of more special interest.
Seven spots of historic interest were marked at that time.
A tablet at the office of the Pierson Milling Co., on Massachusetts street between Whinthrop and Pinkney designeated for the fin'f house built in Lawrence.
A marker on the west side of Ohio street, just north of Berkeley, locates the site of the famous Old Unitarian Church, where many of the free-state mass meetings were held and the public school in Kansas was opened.
A tablet set in the north wall of the New Eldridge House marks two events: the burning of the Free-State Hotel by Sheriff Jones in May of 1856 and another same site of the Eldridge House by the infamous Quantrill in August of 1863.
A marker about the middle and on the west side of the 1100 block on Louisiana street indicates the site of Governor Robinson's first house, which was burned on the same day that Sharon Jones destroyed the Free-State Hotel.
Two markers commemorate other incidents in Quartill's raid. One on New Hampshire street, between Berkeley and Warren, locates the camp of a score of unarmed recuits, mostly boys, who were shot down in cold blood by Quartill's band and the other on Winthrop street, between Indiana and Louisiana, marks the point at which Griswold, Baker, Thorpe and Trask were murdered. A marker just in front of Fraser Hall on the campus indicates the location of the Union camp in 1863 after the Quartill raid.
A handsome monument at Oak Hill cemetery, erected in 1895, marks the resting place of the remains of the one hundred and fifty victims of the tragedy. The memorial points will help to vivify the tragic scenes in the early history of Kansas.
On the Thacher property, south of the house recently built by Professor Kester, are the distinct remains, as yet unmarked, of the earthworks that were used as an outpost of defense both in territorial and civil war times.
A WAGGONER was once driving a heavy load along a very muddy way. At last he came to a part if the horse, and he half-way into the mine, and the more horses pulled, the deeper sank the wheels. So the Waggoner threw down his whip, and knelt down and prayed to Hercules the Strong. "O'er Hercules, you are too distressed," quoth he. But Hercules appeared to him, and said:

THE EDITOR
By John G. Saxe.
Who would not be an Editor?—To write The magic "we" of such enormous might;
To be so great beyond the common span It takes the plural to express the man; And yet, alas, it happens oftentimes - A unit serves to number all his dimes!
An earthquake lurking in his simple "we!
In the close precincts of a dusty room that owes few losses to the lazy broom. There sits the man; you do not know his name.
Scribbling away at what perchance may seem
But don't despise him; there may chance to be
Brown, Jones, or Johnson,—it is all the same,—
An idler's musing, or a dreamer's dream;
The "we" he writes seems very "wee"
indeed;
His pen runs rambling, like a straying steed;
Wrought by the Press in one eventful hour.
But mark the change; behold the wonderous power
To-night, 'tis harmless as a maiden's rhymes;
To-morrow, thunder in the London Times.
The ministry dissolves that held for years;
Her Grace, the Duchess, is dissolved in tears. :
The Rothschilds quail; the church,
the army, quakes;
The very kingdom to its centre shakes;
The very kingdom to its centre shakes:
the salt; the price of bread comes down.
Thanks to the "we" of Johnson, Jones,
or Brown.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MOLDERS OF OPINION HAD PICTURE SNAPPED
Then They Heard Experts Talk Shop From The Platform
Platform
Two hundred editors and newspaper men who arrived in Lawrence for the Editorial Association, attended the first meeting en masse in Fraternal Aid hall to hear the program of eight papers read by the members of the association and men who have had experience in the kind of work that they discussed from the platform.
In addition to the regular program the men heard a detailed discussion of "Costs in the Print Shop" delivered by a Chicago expert.
In the afternoon, the Fraternal Aid Association had a group picture taken of the editors and every member of the Editorial Association will receive one of these pictures.
"Many newspaper men are short-sighted, and some are stone blind when it comes to distinguishing being a victim or an accomplice in a legitimate weekly field," said Will
WILL BECK MAKES ELOQUENT
PLEA FOR COUNTRY WEEKLY
T. Beck of the Holton Recorder.
BROOKS
"The Kansas editors are ambitious and commendably so, else the press of Kansas would never have attained the high rank it holds in American newspaper-dom. But I sumbit this proposition which
seems to me to be fair. If the editor of a prosperous and successful weekly discovers that his capabilities and energies demand a wider scope, let him sell his paper and move to a larger town which would furnish more elbow room, but for the sake of our profession, never let him outrage the dignity of his paper by converting a healthy weekly, running smoothly in its normal grooves into a sickly daily gasping for breath, and a life in a barren field.
Nate E. Reece, editor of the Stafford Courier, argued for a raise in the subscription price of the country weekly. The speaker pointed out the general increase in the cost of living and maintained that the yearly price of a weekly paper must be advanced with other commodities.
"There is probably no definite demarcation between a weekly and a daily town. In Kansas the proportion of weekly papers to dailies being about ten to one, this plea for the weekly has to with making the weekly editors more contented and better satisfied and to impress them with the fact that their papers occupy the same relative degree of importance to their town and community as the great dailies do to the large cities of the country."
MR. REECE WOULD RAISE
PRICE OF STATE WEEKLIES
"To the farmer subscriber who complains of the increased price," he said, "you can show that he is getting more for his wheat, cattle, hogs, chickens, butter eggs, and eggs." When then the dollar price was established."
G. C. Palmer, of the Jewell City Republican, addressed the StateEditorial Association at Fraternal Aid Hall this week in the Court Street, "The Newspaper and the Party."
The Staffford paper raised their subscription price two years ago and Mr. Reece said the circulation of the paper actually what it was before the advance.
In trying to find a reason for the increased influence and usefulness of the newspapers, Mr. Palmer put forth the opinion that the newspapers were more dependable and worthy of trust than formerly.
"The cheap weekly from a distance in no way affects the local paper and sooner or later the subscriber who stops the home sheet this day. This the sight of name in print is exilr to him for he is only human."
NEWSPAPERS ARE FAIRER IN POLITICS THAN BEFORE
"The primary elections have changed things greatly," said Mr. Palmer. "A newspaper now has much greater influence than before. The good of the party formerly made great appeals
to the country editor through his pocket. I know that my mind has been open to every Republican argument and closed to any argument of the opposition. My candid belief, born of personal experiences, is that you can't change the political opinion of an editor who holds the postoffice or expects the county printing.
"The truth is something that favors an editor's party, and a political lie is something that hurts it. Moreover this is expected of an editor who is a direct beneficiary of his party. Although parties are useful," continued I believe that just as a camel could threaten with a hump, so can an editor be just as prosperous, more influential and of far more service to his party if he could forever rid himself of the idea that his party owes him anything."
"I want a free hand to support the measures in which I believe. I want the high Kansas privilege of boosting our economy and knocking the things I don't like."
Mr. Palmer explained that parties were useful and had a high mission, which is to unite the minds and activities of the men who are of one mind on great moral or political questions that effect the country's welfare. "Politics," said he, "is a mighty and indispensable force in a free country.
"I have never yet seen an editor" concluded the speaker, "who, in taking pains to treat the opposition with money or self respect by that policy."
**COUNTRY SHOPS SHOULD**
HAVE AN HOUR COST OF $1
"The buyer of printing often finds that there is nothing resembling a standard of prices. If he is disposed to shop around, he can very easily obtain a dozen different estimates on a job from as many different printers," saidlick Fookeek of the LeRoy Cost in a Country office" at the meeting of the Association down town this afternoon.
"However," he continued, "when a printer buys ink, paper, type and other supplies no such state of things is found. He buys at a standard rate, but is apt to sell his product at any old rate he can get. The great trouble is that instead of using a cost system, we are inclined to use the "guess" system. And the man who guesses lowest invariably gets the job in competitive bidding and invariably loses money on the work.
"Printers should stop guessing. The practice simply encourages the customizer to guess.
M. Dr. Fockele said that the tendency among the owners of small offices was to take less than the larger city shops telling themselves that their lower rent would allow them to do so, but as a matter of fact the increased efficiency of the city shop and a subsequent of each job's proportion of the overhead
expenses offsets the lower rent and any other lower expenses.
"So we can take it for granted," he said, "that our hour cost should at least equal that used in the best city offices."
M. Roccake advocated that an hour cost of $1 should be adopted by all the smaller offices and showed that the use of such a standard would mean the financial success of many of the smaller country shops that are now having trouble in paying the help on Saturday night. He demonstrated that the increased cost of printing to the buyer would be paid without question when the factors of cost that enter into the jobs are explained.
EDITOR DAVIES FAVORS
LABEL FOR PAID ITEM
Gomer T. Davies of the Concordia Kansan spoke on "Newspaper Advertising for Candidates for Primary Election." Mr. Davies is heartily in favor of the new law, which requires a candidate appear in papers in favor of candidates, as which are paid for, to be marked as being advertisements.
He said, "I am in favor of the new
He said, I am in custom of the candidates tooting their own horns, at so much per toot."
TOMMY T.
"It is helpful to the fellow who formerly sold his opinions, in that it makes him more honest, and helpful to the other type of editors, who his conscience with money for editor opinion
type of editors, who would not stain his conscience with acceptance of money for editorial expression of opinion.
“Do not misunderstand me,” he added, “by coming to the conclusion that I am in favor of the dehorned editor for if the exigences of the situation demand it, climb to the seat of your editorial tripod and give them both barrels.”
Taking money for editorials is crooked according to Mr. Davies, but he does not think that there was much of that in Kansas. He said, "I think I may safely assume to say that no successful Kansas editor ever did touch a dirty dollar in the game of politics."
There was a time, however, when a country editor did not dare show any evidences of prosperity without being thought to have "sold out."
This time is happily past, according to Mr. Davies, and the time is come when "Kansas newspaper men may have light suits in summer, heavy ones in winter, and even their own automobiles, without creating suspicion of being blackmailers."
WHY EDITOR MUST BE
A JACK AT ALL TRADES
“Although this is essentially an age of specialists in almost all lines of industry, the average country editor still has to be a jacket at all trades.” A description of the tenor of the Climaxion Jacksonian, at the time of session of the State Editorial Meeting.
Mr. Peterson showed how the country merchant and carpenter had evolved into the specialist's class by the former becoming an expert in men's clothing and the latter turning his attention to lathing as in the case of the editor it is different.
SOMETHINGS HE MUST DO.
First, he must be a reporter, and go about with his pencle and his nose sharpened for news; then he must be a business man, and must keep a set of books and an up-to-date cost system. In these books, he should keep an accurate account of the time he looses in conversations with the town loafer; the proper amount to charge for obituaries and wedding notices which make no friends for the paper, and make half a dozen people glad and a thousand sore, allowing liberally for the wear and tear on imagination, and many more items of inestimable worth to the country editor.
"In addition to these, he must be a farmer, so that he can write intelligent books."
kids will know about a postpartum, so that he will know who to support for the election in his district and who can repair his presses when occasion demands; a lawyer, so that he can keep out of libel suits; a sportsman, so that he can write up a ball game, and an artist so that he can set up philsa paper and advertisements with
"In addition to these qualities, the country editor must also be a collector, or he will sooner or later be compelled to quit business due to a lack of proper funds. He must also be an ad-writer, an authority on language, a paragrapher, an information bureau, a detective, a solicitor, and a musician so that he can write up a musical entertainment intelligently, truthfully, and appreciatively."
NEWSPAPERS ARE THE HISTORIES OF THE STATE
"On the smaller papers, where the man who writes the articles also sets the type, greater reliability is obtained, and facts gathered from country weeklies are far more reli-

THE CHANCE FOR REVENGE AT LAST
The Tiger Baseball Team Meets Sherwin's Bunch on Today and Tomorrow
If practice counts for anything in the making of a baseball team the Missourians are doomed for the worst defeat of the trip when they mix with Shrwivin's Hopes on McCook Field this afternoon.
Handicapped by lack of out-door practice Coach Sherwin has kept his men here the whole of the Easter vacation and put them through a series of stuff out-door practice that has rounded them into shape to travel at high speed in their struggle with the Tigers. Practice has been held every morning and afternoon for the last four days.
It is yet unsettled as to whether Sommers a member of the white-wash squad will be able to appear in uniform as their is a question concerning his grades to be cleared up. Walker, however, another member who has undergone the white-wash process by the Valley eligibility committee will appear.
The Missouri team has been uniformly unsuccessful on their recent trip, they have lost two games to the Kansas Aggies, one to the Oklahoma Aggies, and one to the University of Texas. The Aggies, however, they held Wisconsin to a three to three tie. Helm will probably pitch the opener for the Tigers.
The Kansas line-up for tomorrow's game will probably be as follows:

DEFEATED PICKUP TEAM
Sherwin's Aggregation Wor
Five Inning Game From
Lawrence Y. M.C. A.
Sherwin's promising young base-ball tosses defeated a picked team of fast players from this city yesterday afternoon by a score of 5 to 4. The Lawrence aggregation was labelled the Y. M. C. A. team but of all the holes were filled by men who were on the town team last year.
The Sherwin team got away in the lead and for three innings held a three to one lead, but in the fourth the picks got to Marsh for a minute and chased three runs over the pan in that brief time.
Supporters of the pick-ups declared that the Kansas crowd were afraid to continue the game, but the Hopefuls insist that the contest was merely a work out and they had to stop in order to be fresh for the Tigers.
In the last half of the fifth, with one man on, Captain Hicks slammed a hamster to the left field fence and the game ended with K. U. in the lead.
Strangers who visit in Abilene go away with the impression that it is the busiest place in the West. Cause why? This is it: The Commercial club owns an old switch engine and three box cars. When it is necessary to impress a visitor, the steering committee takes him to the Union bridge to switch engine and cars are started. They run back and forth in front of the hotel till the stranger sits up and takes notice of the traffic rush. Fine advertisement. Charley Harger of the Reflector invented it.

Gomer T. Davies of the Concordia Kansan, who does a high class job of newspaper editing six days a week, also shines as an after dinner orator.
J. F. Baxter, who got his start writing paid locals on the late Tapeka Herald, is now advertising manager of the Kansas City Journal. Baxter is a confirmed bachelor, and his girl friends say he can make "perfectly grand" salad dressing.
Barney Sheridan has turned the Paola Spaill over to his boy, who is a "chip off the old block." About all that the elder Sheridan contributes to the Spirit is an occasional batch of reminiscences. But Barney still takes an interest in politics. He lately saved the country by handling the Champ Clark presidential boom in Kansas.
Mack Cretcher of the Sedgwick Pantagraph is an ardent supporter of the scheme to keep a newspaper man in congress from the Eighth district. But Vie Murdock is not the man Mack has in mind. Mr. Cretcher is not ready to make a formal announcement.
Charles Dillon profess.or of industrial journalism at the Agricultural college, began his journey ad astra per aspera as a telegraph operator on the Santa Fe railroad. Perhaps that is why he is so pernicious about having his pupils dot their 's and dash their 's. Hope a diagram is not necessary for this.
L. L. Kienne will retire from the Topeka State Journal and run for sheriff of Shawnee county. If he doesn't promise to change the foolish policy of sheriffs that requires "thorough investigation" of a case before the newspapers have a tip about it, the Topeka reporters ought to organize a boycott against him.
Jesse Napier lately sold his Newton Journal, a Democratic paper, and purchased an interest in the Newton Kansan, a Republican paper. He will manage the Kansan. Some folks wonder how he can do it. Easiest thing in the world: Napier is an eclectic in politics.
Dave Leahy claims to be the only Kansas newspaper man who was ever kissed by a princess. We fear Dave has grown careless in his claims since he engaged in politics. Every Kansas newspaper man has been kissed by a princess, and by a queen, too, for that matter.
NAMES WRITTEN THERE
Jesse Leach, a former newspaper correspondent at Topeka, is climbing rapidly up the ladder as editor of the Daily Enterprise at Bartlesville, Okla. Mr. Leach's Kansas friends doubtless will be surprised to learn that he is a leading Insurgent in his country, and a staunch supporter of T. R.
When the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway company entertained the Kansas editors at lunchon a year ago, a souvenir newspaper called The Red Ball was distributed among the guests. The paper "took" so well with the editors, that the Santa Fe continued its publication as a monthly bulletin of railroad news and industrial information. The paper has neither subscription list nor advertising patronage. The circulation, confined to newspapers, is complimentary. Frank Jarrell, publicity agent of the Santa Fe, is the editor. The Red Ball takes its name from the Santa Fe's fast freight service.

"In the daily grind of newspaper work it, perhaps, has not
occurred to the newspaper makers that the facts they set down in their columns will be used as the information from which the future history of Kansas will be written. Events of seemingly small importance are often thought that those events may have a deciding value in the future."
"Mr. Plough pointed out the value of correct and accurate reporting. He said that mistakes due to the hurry so that the paper might be gotten on time, were unavoidable, but that all efforts made were not faithful or ful and clear-cut statement of fact. CORRESPONDENTS MAY NOT MEETATE
"The worry simile in the matter of making unreliable the source of future information are the correspondents of the metropolitan dailies. Much of the matter they write is never read in their own community and hence no check is put on their exaggeration."
"The newspaper maker is doing what no other craft or calling is accomplishing. His work is not
ended with the reading of his paper. The newspaper maker is the history writer of his community. Well should he write it, careful should he set it down. No other trade or calling holds out the opportunities, that are given the newspaper maker."
STUDENTS' DAY TALKS
TO BE FULL OF "PEP."
"We want to get more 'pep' into the Students' Day talks," said MacKinnon today. "Last year we had too many presentations of dry scientific facts which were not of general interest."
The date for Students' Day has not yet been set, but will be at the next regular meeting of the Student Council.
Speakers for Students' Day will be elected by the presidents of the schools Thursday at chapel time. After being selected each man will report to Arch MacKinnon for instructions as to the length of his speech.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 9. 1912.
NEWSPAPER "GUNS" TALKED IN CHAPEL
Melville E. Stone, Wizard of the "A. P.," and Tom Masson,the Life of "Life"
DISCUSSED NEWS 'INTEGRITY'
Why The A. P. is Trustworthy Bu Not Infallible—Masson Defined Qualities of Good Reporter
Before and after the regular exercises, the crowd was entertained by the University band, the famious "Rock and Roll Band," the popular song, "The Crimson and the Blue."
The morning session of the State Editorial Association and the regular University chapel exercises were combined at ten o'clock this morning when editors, their wives, students, faculty members, and Lawrence people all met in Robinson Gymnasium and listened to addresses by Thomas L. Masson and Mellville E. Stone.
"A fine sense of Humor," said Tom Masson of Life, in chapel this morning, "is the most important of all the qualities that go to make up the good newspaper man. The faculties that comprise a sense of humor are, imagination, a sense of contrast and a dramatic instinct."
Mr. Masson declared that the more a man rubbed up against human nature he was less likely to commit suicide.
"A well trained imagination is necessary to a successful reporter as are the qualities of dogged persistence and the spirit of never-give-up that are the requisite qualities of the prize ring.
"The city editor of the New York Sun told me that 52 out of 75 reporters in the Sun office were college men, and that the greatest difficulty with them was to teach them to observe correctly, and see a thing rightly. Observation and visualization are essential to a good reporter.
"Adam, who as you know was the first man, was also the first reporter, but his ideas were wrong. When Eve came along she got all the press notices.
"Manners are also important. So is taste. So is good sense." And Mr. Masson illustrated each of his points with two or three rare gems of humor, such as that of the pigeon that walked from Philadelphia to New York, and the Harvard man that sat down in the lady's chair.
"Johah had the first inside story," continued the speaker, "but he did not make the best use of his opportun- tion; he should have had his experience dramatize."
In conclusion Mr.Masson stated that there were three criticisms usually made against newspapers and incidentally, he answered them all.
"First," he said "there is the allegation that they are controlled by the financial interests. All the members of this group are controlled by financial interests.
"Second, that newspapers are controlled by advertisers." The speaker explained that the advertisers themselves are controlled by the people of the United States, but that did not mean that the newspapers are controlled through the advertisers. The connection is far more direct and effective.
Then concerning the assertion that the editors are controlled by newspaper owners I can dismiss by pointing out that all newspapers of consequence are owned by men that have no ambition other than to publish newspapers.
"And in a last resort," concluded M. And the "an author must please his readers."
NEWSPAPER SHOULD PRINT
NEWSPAPER WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS
That the modern newspaper should print what the public wants, but always subject to the responsibilities which an editor assumes when he takes his position, was the opinion of Mr. Melville E. Stone, in his address at chapel this morning, and he was warmly applauded by the editors present when he added the qualifying clause.
Mr. Stone said that the charge that newspapers were owned and controlled by the interests has absolutely no foundation in fact. "Out of the eight hundred newspapers in the Associated Press Association, I can count on the fingers of my hand those who are owned by corporations; and there is not a one of the number which is important. I am placed where I know the facts," he added with a smile.
The Chicago Daily News was founded in 1875 by Mr. Stone. When the paper was first started he gave his men a list of rules which have always been followed as closely as possible by that very successful paper.
NEWS ALWAYS MOST IMPORTANT In the news department he insisted that the news should be truthful and always have the most prominent position in the paper. He believes that the functions of a modern newspaper are to present the news, lead public opinion in the right direction through the editorials, and to entertain; but Mr. Stone always placed the news above everything else.
NEWS ALWAYS MOST IMPORTANT
"My second rule divorced the business and editorial departments absolutely," he said. "This was adhered to religiously and every line of advertising was always labeled as such.
"In the business departments we recognized advertising as a legitimate business, and never took advertisements offered as charity. With the earliest issue our sworn circulation was printed daily, as I believe the advertiser has a right to know what he isaving for."
- The News, published under these ideas was a success from the start and is now probably the best paying paper plant in the United States.
The speaker closed his address by showing how impossible it is for the Associated Press to be partial in reporting of news. "The system is so good that nobody, not even the general manager, can ever give the members of the Associated Press Association dispatches which are colored in favor of any individual or any institution," he concluded.
MAY FILL POTTER LAKE
Plan to Use Waste Water From Swimming Pool, Fountains Boats
The question of piping the waste water from the swimming pool, fountains and roofs into Potter Lake was held by the board of Regents at their last meeting.

AMONG THOSE PRESENT
The lake is kept as reserve in case of a great fire at the University and there are no sanitary connections, two acres and holds 4,000 gallons.
Professor Hoad and Mr. Crocker have been urging the board to act upon the question but nothing can be done until the University receives more
MANHATTAN
The piping and work for running the water into the lake is estimated to cost about $1500.
It has been estimated, that in case of a great confaguration, four streams could be drawn from the lake for three days throwing a stream of 250 gallons over Fraser hall every minute.

M. E. STONE LAUDS WOMAN JOURNALISTS
Advises Them, However, no to Confine Themselves to Beauty Columns
EARL MOORE
M. Melville E. Stone believes that there is a place for women in journalism, and he is glad that women are beginning to take an interest in the newspaper game. Mr. Stone thinks that women, even more than men, should be dignified in journalism.
"I have no patience with women who content themselves with writing scandal and little-tattle," declared Mr. Stone emphatically. "They make themselfs ridiculous and unintentionally, exercutingly funny."
Mr. Stone spoke in high praise of Mrs. Helen Sterrett, one of his editorial writers on the Chicago News.
Melville Stone and Thomas L. Masson, who spoke in chapel this morning, will also be guests at the dinner. After dinner the entire party will attend the performance of the Red Domino's musical comedy "ObJECT: Matrimony."
The retiring officers of the State Editorial Association will be entertained at dinner this evening by Chancellor and Mrs. Strong.
"Mrs. Sterrett had what was called a 'masculine mind,' said Mr. Stone." "She could write an article on any subject from the Mexican war to initiative, referendum and recall. There are few women who will take the trouble to fit themselves for such work. Too many women in journalism are satisfied to confine themselves to the fashions and the beauty columns."

TO TRANSPLANT OUR SOPHOMORE MEDICS
Regents Decide to Send Sec ond Year Men to Rosedale
Rosedale
At a meeting of the Regents Monday afternoon a change was made in the curriculum, of the Medical School. Beginning next year, the second term of the second year class will be moved to Rosedale
This change was made upon the recommendation of the Medical Council which met at Rosedale a short time ago.
Another important change made was that in the entrance requirements, the five hour course in organic chemistry, which was formerly given in the regular medical course, has been changed to an entrance requirement, and will hereafter be taken in the first two years of college work.
All of the original courses will be the same, but one day each week will be given out entirely to each subject, and the courses in Lawrence arranged so that the professors will have on day each week in which to go to Rosedale.
COMBINE CHORUSES FOR LAST VESPER SERVICE
The "Holy City" by Gaul, will be given in Fraser hall at the last vester service of the year by the Garnett Oratoria chorus and the University vesper chorus and other Lawrence singers.
Anyone who would like to sing in this chorus should see Professor Hubach at once.

The young women of the domestic science department served the luncheon. The menu was as follows:
Bouillon
The University of Kansas entertained about 400 members of the K. S. E. A. with a luncheon in Robinson Gymnasium today, at one o'clock. The Glee Club sang a number of selections which the editors applauded vigorously. Many were the complimentary remarks which they made concerning the singing.

Creamed Chicken
Pickles
Cake
Coffee
Mashed Potatoes Creamed Peas
Fruit Salad
Music by the University Glee Club Chancellor Frank Strong gave an address of welcome to the editors, telling them what the University of Kansas and what every other University stands for.
W. Y. Morgan, out going president of the Editors Association then took charge of the program and introduced J. House, of Topeka, who he said every one wanted to hear because he might be at another meeting of the Association.
The newspaper business," said Mr. House, "never so prosperous as it is today, never so ably manned nor so well equipped, in one of its important phases at its cebb tide. We must tell them news, they mould public sentiment. They give their readers what they think they ought to have."
"When a story breaks in the editorial rooms of many newspapers today the question is not one of presenting the exact facts to the reader. To do that, it is best this story as to make it square with our editorial policy in the matter."
Mr. House said that while most people are able to decide important matters after they have had sufficient time to think about them, they are nevertheless influenced by the papers which they read, and they generally never read more than two. "My ideal in-suf- far as it relates to newspapers," continued Dod Gaston, "is that when a publisher sells a subscriber a newspaper for ten cents a week, or a dollar a year, he enters into a contract with him in order to give him the news as nearly as he can gather it. Whether it is or not, that contract should be as sacred as any other."
KANSAS FISH HATCHERY
BEST IN THE WORLD
That the Kansas state fish hatchery at Pratt will be the largest and best equipped in the world is the opinion of George Bowers, head of the National Bureau of Fisheries at Washington, D. C. The statement made in connection with Prof. L. Dyche, state police game warden, who yesterday returned from a three weeks' stay in Washington.
The Bureau of Fisheries approved Professor Dyche's plans for a state fish hatchery to the letter, as combining the best know methods.

SCHOLARSHIPS
The action taken recently by the members of the alumni association of Columbia University at Kansas City in creating a scholarship which provides a year's tuition to their alma mater in New York City, is another example of the interest that eastern alumni take in their universities, and the good they are doing for deserving young men and women who secure the rights and privileges of these scholarships.
Such scholarships are the means of offering to young men and women the advantages of work under instructors who are deemed the best in their respective departments—giving those advantages to men and women who possess the ability to appreciate them properly and secure the most from them, but who would be unable to do the work in those classes without financial aid from outside sources
At the University of Kansas, many efforts have been made in the past few years to aid more students who deserve help in their attempts to secure the benefits of higher education. A series of University scholarships brings many graduates of Kansas Colleges here every year to enter some of the higher courses that are offered here, and several organizations in the University maintain a scholarship fund for the benefit of those who need help.
The work that those are thus attempting to do in extending the benefits of higher education to those who are financially unable to continue their work is certainly worthy of commendation and they deserve the most praise that the University community can give them. It is perhaps one of the highest forms of doing good that exists—making good, complete citizens by sending them to a university.
Frank Jarrell knows about all of the "boys" and he was bury this morning swapping reminiscences with them. Whether it is because he has lately elevated to the office of public agent of the Santa Fe, or because he is plain Frank Jarrell, that makes him so genial cannot be known. He began his career as a newspaper man many, many years ago when he was working for Ed Howe on the Atchison Globe. Later he went to the Kansas City Times and from there to the Topeka Capital as city editor. He stayed in Topeka seven years and then bought the Holton Signal, after consolidating it with the Dennison News. He made his paper so readable that the Santa Fe grabbed him for their publicity agent and the way he is holding his job now indicates that he will be a fixture there for some decades.
GOOD-BYE; COME AGAIN
Editors of Kansas, the University has enjoyed your visit, and on behalf of faculty and students the Daily Kansan wishes, as you depart for your homes today, to bid you Godspeed. We hope you have had a good time; we urge you to come again—by ones or twos or as an association.
You will always be welcome.
Perhaps you won't mind if we tell you that you are the sort of people we like to entertain. We like people who find it easy to dispense with formality; who are willing to get acquainted; who would rather be agreeable than imposing; who don't pretent to be anything but every-day human beings like us. Then again, we like people whom we can talk to without feeling that they are bored; who are interested in the things we are interested in; who are willing to try to get our point of view.
We hope you have enjoyed this visit as much as we have. We hope you found out a lot about the University and its work, its purposes in the many lines of practical usefulness, its character as a well-ordered community of twenty-five hundred persons whose ideals and whose conduct from day to day to compete to immense advantages with those of any other community of equal size.
And since you have had opportunity to get a close view—though necessarily a hasty one—of the our University, we know that we can count you as friends and supporters and defenders in time of need. You have led in the cause of education in the past and we know that your enthusiasm for the things that make a state great will not grow less in the future.
Harvey Parsons, cartoonist and funny man of the Topeka State Journal, hove into port with a suit case full of drawings and original wit which he will perpatrate at the editorial meeting this afternoon. And by the way do you know that Harvey was not always the skilled artist? Some few years ago he was a real cow boy on a ranch in Arizona and according to those who have known him best, he was real handy with the six shooter. Knocking coppers off a post at fifty yards was his favorite diversion. Frank Jarrell vouches for his ability.
Earl Akers, owner of the Stafford Republican, says newspaper business is alright. But Earl is hardly the man to make this statement for two years ago he forsook the case and the make-up rule to become executive clerk to Governor Stubbs and he has given his papar absent treatment ever since.
When Ex-Governor Hoch finished his tenure of office, he received some flattering offers to make Chatauqua addresses. At that time he was the owner of the Marion Record, and in looking for some one to whom he could entrust the destinies of the paper until he came home, he noticed his Son Homer who had been dubbing around the office ever since he was a kid in knee breeches. Son Homer was told to take the Record and to do his best. Homer has done his best and the way the Record has perked up in the past few years is a wonder. When the father came home a few weeks ago he found that Homer had let the contract for a new $10,000 building and the foundation was already dug. Father objected a little but Homer said that if he wanted to run the paper he had better stay home and do it. Homer will talk about 'The Other Fellow's Job' tomorrow.

"King Lion has declared a universal truce. No beast may hurt a bird henceforth, but all shall dwell together in brotherly friendship."
"Why, that is good news?" said the Cock; "and there I see one com-
bird with a beautiful face and good tidings." And so saying he craised
his neck forward and looked afar off.
"What is it you see?" said the Fox. "It is only my master!" Dog that is coming soon? "I am so soon!" the Fox continued, as the Fox began to turn away as soon as he had heard the news, "I will you not stop and converse with the Dog on the reign of universal peace!"
"Why, what is that?" said the Cock.
NE moonlight night a Fox was prowling about a farmer's hen-coop, and saw a Cock roosting high up beyond his reach. "Good news, good news."

A BIRTH NOTICE OF 1867
THE FIRST PRESS IN KANSAS
The voting population of the second ward was increased this morning by the advent of a ten pound juvenile of the male persuasion at Mr. F. A. Foot's. The arrival is just in time for registration. Frank did not "come down" to the office this morning, but we understand that he is "doing as well as could be expected," and the boys expect to make him "come down" tomorrow.—Atchison Free Press, March 13, 1867.
The first printing press brought into the state was one belonging to Rev. Joseph Meeker, who came as a missionary to the Ottawa Indians in 1834.

FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
The "volpeciado" began to come into general use after the war was over. The editors viewed the situation with many misgivings. A few paragraphs which appeared in the Leavenworth Times and Conservative are:
We fear that it will be necessary hereafter to have a special department on wheels. It will be calculated to meet the needs of fractions and popularity of the people.

A man from the East applied to the U.S. States asses velocipedes, a license is assesed velocipeder. It is time that some man in Boston-say Mr. Bartlett or Mr. Wheeler, issued a velocipeding glossy. It would "go off" like hot cakes--though the publisher should be prepared for wheel or whoa; two wheels with but a single "ex," two feet that traddle as one.

"DOPE," BY SENIORS MAKES YOU LAUGH
Name of Senior Play and Date of Tryouts Announced
Today
"Dope," is the name of the senior play which will be produced in the New Bowersock theater on May 16 and 17. "Spec" Brumage, chairman, announced today that all arrangements had been made and that "Dope" is going to be one of the classiest productions ever attempted by a senior class.
It is a three act farce comedy with local setting and contains a number of local hits. A departure from the usual plays staged by the seniors will be made, in that there will be a serious strain throughout its action.
Two distinct features of the play are that in one act, the audience unconsciously are actors in the real show, and that in another act, there will be shown on the stage, a scene from a local opera house stage.
Tryouts for the cast will be held within two weeks.

Later he merged the Horton Commercial into the Headlight and is now giving the people of Brown county a mighty bright and snappy paper.
Miss Anna Carlson of the Linda-borg News, doesn't know what to think about the suffrage movement. She says she is on the fence and, as Tom McNeail says, that is a pretty precarious position for a woman to be in. When she was fourteen years old she commenced to work around a print shop but her active newspaper (she had been trained to the last ten years). She likes the work but her advice to aspiring women journalists is to keep out of it unless they are prepared to give their life the most strenuous occupation.

BASKET BALL IS A GENTLEMANLY GAME
Naismith Says Disregard of Rules in the East Caused Trouble
SPORT WILL NOT BE ABANDONED
Rules Committee Insist That Reform Administration of Present Rules Will Prevent Rough Play.
"Basket ball as played next year will be even more the no-contract style than that which has been advocated by the Missouri Valley Conference Committee," said Dr. James Nismith, a member of the National Basket Ball Rules Committee in speaking of the changes made last week at the meeting of the Committee in New York. That is it will be that way if only officials that will enforce the rules as laid down by the committee are allowed to officiate."
The recent action taken by many of the eastern schools in regard to the dropping of basket ball from the sports was caused by a violation of the four personal foul rule. Managers of opposing teams would get together and agree to lay aside this rule which reads to the effect that a man shall be removed from the game on the committing of four personal fouls. As a result of this decision, a game degenerated into a prize fight. In one case of forty fouls were made by each of the opposing teams and but three field goals were thrown by both teams. The game was naturally slow and uninterested to the spectators.
GAME WILL NOT BE ABANDONED
All of the schools except Brown have decided to tr basketball ball again next year on account of the change in rules. It is understood that the cause of Brown's deciding to drop the game next year is the smallness of their gymnasium and not on account of any opposition to the game.
In addition to the note concerning the enforcing of the personal foul rule the most important is that in regard to interference. This rule now is, and interference in any way with the program shall be terminated by the ball shall be termed blocking and shall be classed as a foul against the player violating this rule.
In connection with the throwing of free throws it has been decided that the man making the throw shall throw it if he fails to make within ten seconds after referee places the ball on the free throw line.
"The dribble also went under a
great deal of discussion but was finally left as it is now.
"The ball when going out of bounds if touched by spectator before touched by a player will go to the nearest eligible player. In connection with this rule it was also decided that the ball going from out of bounds to out of bounds shall go to the nearest eligible player.
"The players must be numbered."
"In calling a foul the referee shall raise his hand above his head if it be a touching foul, or only touch player making the same."
"The basket must be arranged so that the ball in passing through the shall
"Under this new style of playing the ideal player will be the fast player who can beat his man to the ball. The team that plays the man and not the ball will be handicapped as they will be continually fouling while they are out. You have on their ability to beat their opponents to the ball will make very few fouls and in addition will be able to play faster球 than their opponents."
"Opposing players can not interfere with the player making the free-throw. Interference shall be termed as anything that distract the attention of the threwer.
"In addition to this players who use roughness in blocking a throw for the receiver is wicked."
Murray Ran Two Yards Over the Required Distance at Kansas City
2-MILE RECORD STANDS
The record made by Roy Murray in the two mile run, at the Kansas-Missouri meet March 29, will stand as the University record for that went. Murray's time was 9.51.
There was a question for some time as to whether the record was bona fide as the Convention hall track had, in the past been about forty yards short of the full course over the long run.
After Murray had his record last week the directors of the K. S. A. C. called in an engineering firm and had the track carefully measured. It was found that Murray had run two miles and two yards.

A revised handbook stating the rules and regulations of the Missouri Valley Conference of Faculty Representatives has been issued by the secretary of the Conference, Dr. R. G. Clapp of the University of Nebraska. This book contains a history of the organization of the conference, the existence, existing, conference enterprises, a description of the management of athletes, and the revised rules on eligibility.
The latter division of the book has been the subject of more discussion than any of the preceding ones and is the only one that has been revised since the formal adoption of the rules in the spring of 1908. The rules governing the eligibility of Missouri Valley athletes revised to January 1, 1912 are as follows: The eligibility rules of this Conference shall apply to every student competing in any physical contest as a representative of any institution in this Conference.
SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
AMATEUR CLAUSE
No student shall participate in any intercollegiate sport unless he has
passed all entrance requirements, unless he has passed all work as regularly required in his university for the year of residence previous to the participation, and unless he is satisfactorily carrying full work in the current semester.
RESIDENCE AND PARTICIPATION No student shall participate in intercollegiate athletics until he shall have been in residence one year and shall have completed one full year of entrance training to meeting the entrance requirement of the College of Liberal Arts of his institution or its equivalent. Summer session shall not be counted toward the year's residence.
RESIDENCE AND PARTICIPATION
A student who has established his residence in one institution loses the same when he matriculates in a second; however, registration for the summer session or quarter in a second institution shall not be considered as nullifying residence already established in the first.
When a student changes from one school or college of the same university to another, having failed in such, he shall not be eligible for one year, unless such failures are removed by examinations.
No student shall participate in intercollegiate athletics for more than three college years in the aggregate, the three years to begin with the first semester of the year in which the man first participates. It is understood that if a man enters college the second semester, his college year begins with the second semester. In case his three years participation in basket-ball end in the middle of the season, he shall be allowed to finish that season as a member of the team.
A preparatory student who plays one year on the team of a non-Conference college will not have that year against him in case he should enter a Conference institution, but if such non-Conference school competes on equal terms with Conference institutions, such transfer conferences will not be able to play more than one year, each year after the first shall be subtracted from his three years participation.
GRADUATE RULE
No one who has taken a degree from a college of standard rank shall be permitted to participate in intercollegiate contests. (In effect after September 1, 1912.)
NEBRASKATOPLAYBALL

Rules
The athletic board, at a meeting last evening, decided definitely that Nebraska shall have a base ball team. However, it was decided that Nebraska should conform to Missouri Valley rules and just what effect this will have on the prospects for a team is hard to say. The teams playing in the can be looked over. At a meeting in the future, plans will be made for the election of a captain.

'OBJECT: MATRIMONY'
GIVEN. 'NOUGH SAID
Red Domino Presented Their Original Musical 'Comedy' Last Night
EATON & BISHOP REDEEMERS
Tom Masson of Life, Master of Sarcasm, Said Play Ought to be Given in New York
Last year the Red Domino club was organized and its initial effort was an original musical comedy written by three members of the club. Following the lead of last year, another musical comedy was written this year by two University students and last night it was staged at the Bowersock theater with two hundred visiting Kansas editors as guests of the management.
A musical comedy played under any conditions and by a group of professionals is a difficult thing to handle, and considering that the songs, book and lyrics of "Object: Matrimony," the offering this year, were written by two sophomore men in the College, the production last evening was excellent and reflected credit upon the authors, the cast and those who had charge of its staging.
It seems to be a prevalent idea among the authors of musical comedy that there should be no attempt at a plot, that the main thing is to get some music that is singable, and above all things to get a chorus and cast that can sing it.
WHEN IS A PLOT NOT A PLOT
In "Object, Matrimony," there is a consistent attempt at a plot and it is fairly discernible throughout the entire two acts. However it is never sufficiently heavy to cause the audience to lose its mental poise. But there can be no criticism in regard to that.
GOOD IF YOU LEARN TO LIKE IT
Arvid Frank, the composer of the music, has written some stuff that will bear a closer inspection than one can give at a one night's hearing. Although he did not succeed probably, in writing any one selection that sent the crowd away whistling it, he did succeed in writing some things that are mighty tuneful, and appreciation of his efforts will come after his stuff has been played over three or four times.
The action of the chorus was good, but when it came to producing a volume of melody, they failed, and several of the ensembled songs fell through because of the lack of the harmony or a duty that is peculiarly its own.
And the same general criticism

EDITORS COMMEND UNIVERSITY'S WORK
"We commend the State University for its work in promoting, through the department of journalism, a scientific study of journalistic work and printing. We commend the work that this department is doing in equipping young men and women to enter newspaper work as for years it has educated them to practice law, pharmacy or medicine.
"We recommend to the department a continuation of its close relationship to the newspapers of the state and that it broaden the scope of its work along the lines of the present University extension by work in the interest of the newspaper and job printing offices of the state in the installation of the cost system and other improvements that will tend to put these offices on a more uniform and scientific basis."

STUDENT COUNCIL MAKES SOME DATES
Students' Day, May 17, and High School Day on May 4
STUNTS FOR H. S. VISITORS
Entertainment Similar to Football Smoker to be Provided—Australian Ballot.
JAWHAWKER OFFICIALS FROM JUNIOR CLASS?
Student's Day has been set for May 17. At a meeting of the Men's Student Council last night the date for the annual event was definitely decided upon. The speakers from the different schools are to be elected next Thursday morning.
The presidents of the schools are to be called together as soon as possible and a uniform arrangement will be made whereby the speeches may be limited in length and made to be of spicy material. In former years the speeches have so dragged that before the last speaker was presented, a greater percentage of the audience had left. This year a remedy will be suggested so that all representatives will have the opportunity of speaking to a full house.
Plans are also being formulated to arrange an athletic program in the afternoon of the day, on McCook field. Match games will be played between the different schools and departments of the University, and in all probability a handicap track meet will be pulled off. This will be open to all students so that every student has a chance to be a personal representative of himself, thereby making the event a typical student's day.
EVERBODY ON ATHLETIC PROGRAM
A program for high school day, May 4, was submitted before the members of the council and a committee has been appointed to report on it's feasibility. In former years, some difficulty has been experienced in providing sufficient entertainment for the high school pupils during their stay at the University. This trouble has been but only a small percentage of the visitors attend these. So the program will consist of a stunt somewhat similar to the football smoker.
HIGH SCHOOL DAY BUGGER THAN EVER
the fraternities and class societies
will be asked to take part in furnishing the vaudeville section, while the student council, with the cooperation of the student body, will furnish a big feed. The carrying out of this program should insure a larger and better high school day than has ever before been given.

Student Council Proposes to Elect Editor and Manager Year in Advance.
The high school students throughout the state are to be given the opportunity of reading the 1012 Jayhawk this year and thus becoming more intimately acquainted with the University and university life. The board of agents met yesterday and authorized Secretary E. E. Brown to purchase the annuals and send one to the different high schools in the state.
The principle of sending the Jay-hawkers to the high school students is the same as that upon which the Daily Kansan is circulated among the high schools. The University authorizes it to attend the University should be furnished with all information obtainable concerning the institution.
A winker-growing contest is being held at the University of Colorado. The swain who succeeds in growing the most beautiful hirsute adornment will have his picture officially published in the Silver and Gold, the university weekly.
EXPERIENCE IS VALUABLE
Present Officials Think Well of Plan
—Say it Would Have Helped
Them in Their Work
At the meeting of the Men's Student Council last night, a resolution was adopted advocating the election of the manager and the editor-in-chief of the "Jayhawker" during their junior year.
The plan which the Council has proposed is to elect the men to these two offices some time during May of this year, and in all succeeding years have the election take place in January. The reason that the Council took this action, was that the manager and editor would have more time to prepare their plans, and also give them some practical experience from the old member of the board. The junior members will act as assistants to the editor-in-chief and the manager of the annual.
This plan was proposed by the Council but no definite action has as yet been taken.
OFFICIALS APPROVE PLAN
When asked in regard to his idea of the proposal, Carl Cannon present editor-in-chief of the "Jayhawker" said that he thought it was a fine thing not only for the experience that new manager and editor obtain but also if would give them more time to get out their work properly.
OFFICIALS APPROVE PLAN When asked in regard to it this morning, Arch MacKinnon, president of the Men's Student Council, observed that a class made by the junior class there will be a final decision by the Council next Tuesday night concerning the method proposed.
Clark Wallace, present manager of the "Jayhawk," said that he believed it was exactly the proper method to pursue.
"Of course," he said, "I will not much benefit the new members that will come in this year, as they will not get any practical benefit. The Annual will already be out when they come on, but they can be laying plans for next year. If I had worked under the manager last year there would have been lots of things, that I could have learned, that I had to dig out for myself, and if I had the new manager working under me now I could give him a good many pointers for the game next year."
Melville Stone Says Univer sal Knowledge Is Absolutely Necessarv to Success
A GOOD REPORTER KNOWS EVERYTHING
"There is no larger field in the world than that of journalism as far as the influence that can be wielded and the good that can be done is controlled by a central manager of the Associated Press, to a questioner this morning.
"I am sorry that I cannot say as much for the financial side of it," he continued. "As far as money is concerned, it's a worse paid profession in the world."
"The advice that I would give to a young man starting out, as a reporter is to get all the knowledge he can by knowledge I mean not only the events that are going on in the present time but also the events in history, for example, that we learn and a complete knowledge of the sciences as possible. In short the reporter who succeeds is the man who is literally a walking encyclopedia.

RALPH SPOTTS INJURED
WHEN GAS EXPLODED
While Ralph Spotts was cleaning out a gas generator in the office of the department of University Extension this afternoon, some of the calcium and acid flared up into his eyes. No serious injury was done to them but the lids of his left eye were quite painfully blistered.
The generator had not been used for some time and it was the crystalline material which had collected on the sides dropping down into the acid with which he was cleaning the generator, that caused the accident.
FACULTY TO ATTEND REGENTS' MEETINGS
Hour Opened for Instructors Soliciting Prohibited On Campus
The board of regents met yesterday afternoon. Those present were: White, Kimball, Foley, Cambern, Hopkins and Chancellor Strong. On the recommendation of the Chancellor, the Regents will have an open hour at each of their meetings hereafter for the members of the faculty. By this, the governing body and the teaching staff will be brought into closer contact and more efficiency, it is believed, will result.
The Regents issued an order that no canvassing, soliciting or interviewing of students, faculty or employees by agents and business representatives be permitted in the buildings or in the campus.

When One Is Put Through "Beauty Machine," Personal Pulchritude Leaves
JUNIOR FARCE BEGINS AT 6
Dancing Afterward—Must Stop at One O'clock—Tickets on Sale in Chapel Today.
A most amusing two-act faecal playlet, "The Beauty Machine," is to be presented by the members of the junior class preceding the prom. The cast is being whipped into shape under the direction of Miss Gertrude Mossler and will be ready, costumes and all, to appear before the Prom guests promptly at six o'clock Friday night.
The story deals with the plots and intrigues of Queen Screna's court in Quendom, where no man, nor even the name of man is allowed to appear. The queendum is divided into two parties, the Reds and the Blues, and it is between these that the main plot is laid.
"The Beauty Machine" is the means of torture where all offenders of the law are put, and in which they lose all beauty and grace. Jesterina, who may be called the villainess, if not the goat, of the play, has just been put in the machine when three men, led by the redoubtable Professor, enter the queendom and are spied by one of the queen's generals. The fact that he is imported to the subjects who are overjoyed by the fact that there are real men within their walls. The queen posts warnings to all intruders, that if they enter the sacred queendom they will be subjected to "fifty scratches and embarrassment for life."
JESTERINA AND TABITHA GET BUSY
ESTERNE AND TARAH DE UBS.
The three adventurers enter as Jesterina emerges from the Beauty Machine and she immediately takes possession of two of them. From this point the plot moves fast and furious, and the fights and squabbles in which the subjects engage over the three strangers give rise to many amusing situations.
The story is further enhanced by the appearance of Tabitha True, the professor's leap year sweetheart, from whom he is trying to escape, but who has followed him to this section of the country. The captain persuades her to enter the beauty machine, under the pretense that it will make her more beautiful and she emerges absolutely void of all beauty and grace. In despair she joins the ranks of Queen Serena and the men, with their sweethearts, whom they have chosen from the queen's subjects, are banished from the queendom.
The plot is livened throughout by the troubles of the Dowager, a comic opera playwright, who can not find a suitable plot for her play, as the queen refuses to allow any men to be in it. The curtain falls with the music of Mozart by the members of the chorus, the subjection of the rebellious Red faction, when peace and quiet once more settles over Queendom.

COFFEE'BETRAYEDTHEM;
THEY'LL ABJURE IT NOW
The glee club sang beautifully at the editor's luncheon dayend, and why shouldn't they? They have travelled across the continent, gaining new experiences and more self confidence in great big chunks.
The trains on which they rode broke records, and every town entertained them royally; it was almost impossible to walk without having a banquet tendered them.
And so when everyone applauded when they finished singing yesterday, they sat down, pleased to think that they were pleasing.
Then did the heroes of a thousand such affairs proceed to show the advantage of training acquired in alien fields. With careless grace and non-chalant manner, every man of them dropped two lumps of sugar into the steaming cups of boilion and cream followed sugar into every cup.
The editors did not laugh; because, first, they were too good-mannered, second, some of them had let their bouillon stand thinking it was coffee, and third, a number had followed the example of the glee club.
The faculty only smiled. They were used to see bouillon in coffee cups.

Creditors have better memory than debtors.
DEBATING
The debating teams of Kansas and Colorado will meet in chapel tonight. The intellects of the two institutions will be matched, the power of oratory and the keenness in argument, the ability of men to take advantage of their opponent's faults, to find flaws in their argument, all these faculties of the undergraduates will be tested.
And, judging from the interest that the members of the student body have taken in debating work this winter at the University, the men who speak tonight will address a large audience. Those who are in charge of the debating work that the men have been doing this winter assure the students that when they attend the debate tonight, they will not only support one of the best activities of the student body, but they will also hear a statement or argument that really will be interesting and which the auditors will never regret hearing.
Of course, there are those yet who declaim against a lack of seriousness on the part of the undergraduate in his attitude toward his work in the room. There are men who deprecate the decline of the spirit of the "good old days" when men attended school to learn from the books and when scholarship was so highly prized, when, so they say, not so much of the student's time was devoted to the pursuit of pleasures and the easier path.
Such an accusation upon the work of the undergraduate can not be defended, however, in the light of actual experience. In the state of Kansas in the past few years, the time that the students in the secondary schools and the colleges have devoted to debating has shown that they are interested deeply in something else than athletics and dancing.
What better scholarship may be asked than that of the man who can mount the rostrum and deliver an address, what other activity will interest the students in their academic work more and make for better young men than the work on the rostrum?
COVERED KANSAN ASSIGNMENTS
The pages of the Daily Kansan were given life and color that makes the best part of a newspaper working in any field, by the paragraphs and illustrations of many of the different editors who attended the meeting of the state Editorial Association here. For these paragraphs we are indebted to Frank Jarrell, of the Santa Fe railway company, who through his intimate acquaintance with almost every man in Kansas who tries to get out a paper was able to tell us many of the little inside incidents in the lives of the editors, that made all feel better acquainted.
The little pictures, the caricatures of some of the men who were on the program, some who had to work so hard in putting out their own papers that they could not attend the meeting here, and some who have been
in the business of newspaper making so long that they have won the respect and love of all their fellow workers in the state, were the work of Harvey Parsons of the Topeka State Journal.
We wish to extend to Mr. Jarrell and Mr. Parsons our thanks and appreciation of their work in enabling us to add two such features to the columns of the paper while the editors of the state were with us.
WILL THEY CHECK IN THEIR
SUITS?
Members of the baseball squad who attend the Junior Prom Friday night will be requested to check in their suits according to instructions given out by Coach Sherwin.
On first thought, this seems to be an unjust edict—unjust to the members of the team—for in depriving them of the pleasure of Prom night they are denied one of the greatest social functions of the year at the University. There is only one junior Prom in a year and there are many baseball games, but anyone of those games may decide the championship of the Conference. It is a good ruling then that is for the best interests of the team and their record.
No man can revel half the night and expect to play creditable baseball on the following day. Proms are events from which the most of us require several days to recover. Then too, the memory of a certain game of ball with Missouri several years ago in which our team, a nine that was really better than their Tiger opponents, received an awful defeat after most of the men had spent the preceding night at the Prom, lingers in the minds of some of the older students. A repetition of that same spectacle of Jayhawker baseball men waltzing about the diamond trying to play ball when they were dreaming of gaudy gowns and vari-colored punch is not desired by either the coach or the student-body.
ELIMINATE THE MERE BOOK
WORM
In one of the recent campus publications appeared an editorial which advocates some special reward for the book-worm, something different from Phi Beta Kappa, which, in the opinion of the writer, seemed to have too many other qualifications for membership.
To this view The Michigan Daily is decidedly opposed. The pure bookworm is a genus that ought not to be encouraged, because it develops an unwholesome type. Anyone, who has the required persistency, and general lack of life and red blood, can sit down and learn all that the printer has inserted between the covers of several books.
If a man continues this mode of existence he may, if his eyes hold out, learn about the interior of a great many books. If this be meritorious, well and good. But what has happened in the meantime? Has the man of this type made many friends, has he taken any real work among men, has he learned that the practical side of life is what we must deal with and not the etheral atmosphere which permeates books? He may have become learned but he has not learned life.
Reward for this type, has little place in our modern life. Yes, reward in the shape of a mandate, "learn to live." The aim of this university, we take it, is to develop men, not visionaries-Michigan Daily.

HARVARD AND THE WEST
B
Life.
OTH the spirit and the result of Harvard's new plan of drawing undergraduate students from the lesser high schools of the Middle West deserve the heartiest commendation. Under the old rigidity of entrance examinations only the fortune few who happened to have been trained in the exceptional high schools or secondary schools of the West could weather the rigors of those examinations. The others were likely to find themselves either ill-prepared in the studies in which they could undergo the test or prepared in only a part of the required subjects.
Frequently, with these Western schools, the student has his choice as between modern languages or the classics; between a "literature" course and a "science" course. Harvard's entrance requirements assumed all these in an applicant.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
WESTERN STUDENTS ARE EARNEST
The new system by which these students are received on a basis of the quality and extent of their work without a material compromise with former standards promises to reward Harvard quite at much as the boys thus admitted.
If Harvard can give them things which the Western colleges cannot, they can give Harvard an earnestness and an appreciation of these gifts altogether different in kind, even though it may not differ in intensity from that of the above gates. In fact of the gates, that this seems to be the college gates, that this seems to be realized may be inferred from a remark in the Harvard Bulletin:
The new plan is strengthening our hold on the class of schools which, especially outside of the larger cities of the East, is training the most substantial and the most typically American portion of American youth.
THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT SPIRIT This group of young men, keenly alive to the value of their academic opportunities, ready and glad to make sacrifices, and with all their studies informed by zealous purpose, have made the strength of such institutions as Cornell and Michigan, and they will add materially to the strength of Harvard.
There is still another reason—to these youth New England, Boston, and, to be exact, Cambridge, is a land of history and romance in a sense quite unintelligible to those born and bred here. Just as New Englanders go abroad for their own history and romance, the people of the West seek New England as their Europe of song and story. These boys from farther West come to Cambridge with an altogether different spirit, and so depart. There has been for them a glamour and an historic dignity about the institution which is often missed by those whose vision has been norrowed by proximity to the object—Ex.

TOMORROW, DENY HELLY
KANSAS
Prof. Carl Becker, of the department of history,
in the "Turner Essays in American History."
SOME years ago, in a New England college town, when I informed one of my New England friends that I was preparing to go to Kansas, he replied rather blankly, "Kansas? Oh?" The amenities of casual intercourse demanded a reply, certainly, but from the point of view of my New England friend I suppose there was really nothing more to say; and, in fact, standing there under the peaceful New England elms, Kansas did seem tolerably remote.
"DEAR OLD KANSAS"
Some months later I rode out of Kansas City and entered for the first time what I had always pictured as the land of grasshoppers, of arid drought, and barren social experimentation. In the seat just ahead were two young women, girls rather, whom I afterwards saw at the University. As we left the dreary yards behind, and entered the half-open country along the Kansas river, one of the pair, breaking abruptly away from the ceaseless chatter that had hitherto engrossed them both, began looking out of the car window. Her attention seemed fixed, for perhaps a quarter of an hour, upon something in the scene outside—the fields of corn, or it may have been the sunflowers that lined the track; but at last, turning to her comely companion, he hurried toward the return axle, she said, "Dear old Kansas!" The expression somehow recalled my New England friend. I wonders vacuely, as I was sure he would have done, why any one should feel moved to say "Dear old Kansas!" I had supposed that Kansas, even more than Italy, was only a geographical expression. But not so. Not infrequently, since then, I have heard the same expression—not always from emotional young girls. To understand why people say "Dear old Kansas!" is to understand that Kansas is no mere geographical expression, but a "state of mind," a religion and a philosophy in one.
*****
The confident individualism of those who achieve endurance is a striking trait of the people of Kansas. There, indeed, the trait has in it an element of exaggeration, arising from the fact that whatever has been achieved in Kansas has been achieved under great difficulty. Kansas have been subjected, not only to the ordinary hardships of the frontier, but to a succession of reverses and disasters that could be survived only by those for whom defeat is worse than death, who cannot fail because they cannot surrender. To the border wars succeeded hot winds, droughts, grasshoppers; and to the disasters of nature succeeded in turn the scourge of man, in the form of " mortgage fiends" and a contracting currency. Until 1895 Kansas was a series of disasters, and always something new, extreme, bizarre, until the name Kansas became a byword, a synonym for the impossible and the ridiculous, inviting laughter, furnishing occasion for jest and hilarity. "In God we trusted, in Kansas we bustured," became a favorite motto of worn employees, worn out with the struggle, returning to more hospitable climes; and for many years it expressed well enough the popular opinion of that fated land.
Yet there were some who never gave up. They stuck it out. They endured all that even Kansas could inflict. They kept the faith, and they are to be pardoned perhaps if they therefore feel that henceforth there is laid up for them a crown of glory. Those who remained from 1875 to 1895 must have originally possessed staying qualities of no ordinary sort, qualities which the experience of those years could only accentuate. And as success has at last rewarded their efforts, there has come, too, a certain pride, an exuberance, a feeling of superiority that accompany a victory long delayed and hardly won. The result has been to give a peculiar flavor to the Kansas people, a feeling of superiority that accompany a Kansas history back of him, the true Kansan feels that nothing is too much for him. How shall he be afraid of any danger, or hesitate at any obstacle, having succeeded where failure was not only human, but almost honorable? Having conquered Kansas, he knows well that there are no worse worlds to conquer.
DEVELOPMENT OF KANSAS GRIT
The Kansas spirit is therefore one that finds something exhilarating in the challenge of an extreme difficulty.
If a river has feelings and is human enough to dislike work, the Kansas river has no friendly regard for J. D. Bowersock of Lawrence. It was Mr. Bowersock who put the Kaw on the job of turning out light and power for Lawrence and her industries. His is the only power plant on the river.
Everybody knows what waterpower means to a town. Lawrence is a flourishing example of the benefits that flow from a big river hooked up to a big dam and a power plant.
In considering Lawrence as a location for business, look into its advantages in the matter of power.

"No one," says St. Augustine, "loves what he endures, though he may love to endure." With Kansan, it is particularly a point of pride to suffer easily the stings of fortune, and if they find no pleasure in the stings themselves, the ready endurance of them gives a consciousness of merit that is its own reward. Yet it is with no solemn martyrs' air that the true Kansan endures the worst that can happen. His instinct is rather to pass it off as a minor annoyance, furnishing occasion for a pleasanty, for it is the mark of a Kansan to take a reverse as a joke rather than too seriously. Indeed, the endurance of extreme adversity has developed a keen appreciation for that type of humor, everywhere prevalent in the West, which consists in ignoring a difficulty, or transforming it into a difficulty of precisely the opposite kind.

It is the finest of all examples of simplicity and equality, and it is this simple life that goes far to account for the marvelous recrudescence of vitality just now manifested throughout the Moslem world, to the perplexity of all Christendom. And the orthodoxy of Islamic doctrine is being rapidly broken up, for no longer are these hosts of the Koran tough enough to the Karun in their hands, though that which is flat or that the sun moves round the earth. Self-abegation of the noblest kind marks the life of the professors, for these have no fixed salaries, but only certain meager allowances for plain food, with some small perquisites for ecclesiastical duties—The Homoletic Review.
It is to-day, as in past ages, by far the most instructive, momentous, and picturesque sight in all the near East. But not only is it by far the biggest academic institute on earth (its scholars from all Moslem lands reaching the number of scholars) but it is a chief fountain of the intellectual energies of Islam. It is the symbol of that universal brotherhood that makes all Islam one.

It was then moved that 500 copies of the code of ethics be published for distribution.
The editors voted to send a telegram of greetings to J. E. Junkin and wife in Miami, Fla. Mr. Junkin was corresponding secretary of the Association for fifteen years, but moved to Florida a short time ago.
J. Byron Cain was given the power to appoint twenty-five or more delegates to the National Press Association, to be held in Chicago June 19-21.

In addition to the resolutions expressing approval of the work in journalism at the University, the report of the committee on resolutions is as follows:
"The Kansas State Editorial Association, at the close of one of the best attended and most entertaining meetings in its history, congratulates the officers and individual members upon the practical character of the Association meetings and the growing interest in the Association.
"We appreciate sincerely the hospitality of the people of Lawrence in arranging for the entertainment of the Association and extend our thanks to the University for courtesies extended; to the members of the local press; to the department of journalism of the University of Kansas; to the Merchants Association and to the citizens who contributed much to the pleasure of the Association by their courtesies.
"We thank the members of the domestic science department of the Lawrence high school and of the University for the luncheons so nicely prepared and served. We extend our appreciation to the retiring officers of the Association for their work during the last year in the interest of the Association and for the interesting program of this session.
"We protest against the arbitrary act of the postoffice department in attempting to raise rates on second class mail matter as the result of an ex parte hearing in which publishers of second-class matter had no opportunity to be heard. We ask that copies of these resolutions be sent to each of the Kansas senators and members of congress with the recommendation that no action be taken at this time."

EDITORS FUSS OVER VOTES FOR WOMEN
Motion to Pass Resolution Favoring Woman's Suffrage Causes Mueh Discussion
THEY TAKE IT AS A JOKI
Editors Feared Reporters Would Spread Idea That They Were Favorable to Suffage — Barred Politics.
The otherwise peaceful meeting of the Kansas State Editorial Association ended with a spirited discussion over the suffrage question.
As the last business session was drawing to a close yesterday, W. Y Morgan looked around over the crowd and saw a man in White." He wanted to make a motion,"
Mr. White was not forthcoming, and Mr. Morgan in his good-natured way said he guessed he would make it for him. He made the motion and it was to the effect that a resolution be passed expressing the sentiment of the association in favor of women's suffrage.
Instantly Glick Fockele of the Le-Roy Reporter was on his feet saying that such a question had no place in the meeting, as it was of a political nature. He was laughed down by the rest of the editors who took it more as a joke than anything else. The question was put and passed with an almost unanimous volley of "ayes" before anyone else could rise to his feet.
MILLER FEARED REPORTERS.
W. E. Miller of the St. Mary's Star got up and said that such business was entirely out of order and that he would make a motion to rescind the resolution if he thought that no reporter in the room would publish the proceedings and carry the idea to the people of Kansas that the State Editorial Association in favor of woman's suffrage. He said that he might for the question but he didn't believe it should be made a matter of record.
Charles F. Scott said that he would like to hear what the code of ethics of the Association said in regard to such points as this. It was found and

read by the secretary and was to the effect that no subjects of a political nature should be brought up any of the meetings.
"Moonlight, Spoonlight" was perhaps the most catchy song, but in "The Medicine Man" the chorus did some clever work. Earl Moore yawned "What's the Use?" so realities were evident. The audience their handkerchiefs to their mouth suppressing a general desire to wain with him.
Several other editors were on the point of rising and expressing their ideas, but W. Y. Morgan with his genial standing broad grin, said he didn't want to expedite the business unduly but he would like to go to the press. Mr. Morgan spent few minutes and suggested that they proceed with the rest of the business.
Starkweather's
If one is forced to choose any particular star who twinkled considerably brighter than their fellow workers, notice must be given to the clever work of Helen Woolsey as "Jessica Norris," a cute little trick who likes to first, to Lola Eaton as "Patricia B. Schott," the waisted hotel telephone girl, to Joe Bishop, the bright bell he lamps an amateur detective who thinks he has a clue, and Earl Moore, the author of the book of the play, as "Pierre O'Brienne," the hotel clerk who is always tired.
MORGAN WANTED TO SEE THE GAME
'OBJECT: MATRIMONY GIVEN. 'NOUGH SAID
The sentiment of the discussion seemed to be that they were in favor of the suffraghas but it would be hard to tell if they would stand by it when they came to vote on it in a closed booth.

with only a few exceptions, the cast
did not succeed in getting more than
a half of their words past the footlights
and the audience was left to

being said without knowing what

THE EDITORS TOOK NOTICE ALL RIGHT
The play last night was well received by a large audience. In the boxes were Thomas Masson, editor of "Life," (and Mr. Masson invited the club to come to New York City and stage their play there). Mr. and Mrs. W. Y. Morgan, Chancellor and Mrs. Strong. The charter members of the Red Domino occupied the box to the right.
The scenery is much more elaborate than last year and the second act has some electrical effects that are beautiful. The play is under the direction of Miss Gertrude Mossler, of the department of expression.
Ruth Walker as "Leila Farnsworth," the heroine, and William Cain, who finally did marry her, sang well together and put on some fancy dancing steps that no doubt made some of the editors sit up and take notice. Lawrence Smith as the wrong Mr. Wayne and Helen Woolsey as "jess" in "Teach Me to Flirt" were just too easy for any use.
"Object, Matrimony," will be repeated again tonight.

PARSONS DISCUSSES
VARIED CARTOONISTS
F. L. Kaffer, who was graduated from the School of Mining Engineering last spring and who now holds a position on the engineering staff of the Lucky Tiger mine in Mexico, is visiting friends at the University this week. He expects to return to Mexico soon to continue his work there.
"Cartoonists, Serub and Otherwise," was the subject of the address of Harvey Parsons, of the Topeka State Journal, and of the State Editor, "mesting in Frasier Hall.
"In these days of first class syndicate service, the worker in the local vineyard is little more than a pensioner, unless he writes paragraphs or fills a beat while reporters are sick," said Mr. Parsons. "With the leading cartoonists of the world subliming for him, he lands on the front page but infrequently gets into trouble. One day the new building and the new engraving plant will be completed, and the local politicians will again "get his."
Speaking briefly of the "otherwise" class, Mr. Parsons said, "Since the days of Tom Nast and Sir John Tenniel, the cartoon has been a factor in newspaper work. The editorial writer starts a nail, and the cartoonist drives it in up to the head. Many crooks have been driven from public life and many are busted by cartoonists of all calibres. But because cartoonists have shattered good men, it does not follow that cartoonists have mean dispositions."
Mr. Parsons told how the cartoonist was often hampered in his work by lack of proper colors with which to embellish his creations. He often felt the need of some red ink to portray a notably bad man, or a few touches of yellow to give a man's expression the proper tinge.
"The generally accepted definition of a cartoon is a distorted likeness, although the distortion has nothing to do with the original meaning of the word," continued Mr. Parsons. Originally, the cartoon was a work of high art, but for the last fifty years, the word has been applied almost, exclusively to comic allegory. This applied caricature comes naturally to some persons and is it easier to draw the distortion than to copy a photograph. But to get the best results, the cartoonist should be provided with a good subject."

A BLACK EYE FOR THE JUNGLE KING
Jayhawkers Won First Baseball Game Erom the Tigers 8 to 2
AMMONS THE BATTING HERO
Performance of Kansas Team in Initial Appearance Points to a Successful Season.
Sherwin's baseball hopes made their bow to the University fans and a number of Kansas editors yesterday afternoon. They proved to be real hopes too, for they aweup with such force on the Missouri Tiger that one of the beast's optics was sadly discolored.
The score of the battle was 8 to 2. In the very opening sessions of the meeting, after two were down, the fireworks started. Coolidge gave a life and Hicks singled him to third. Captain Ammons, one time football and track hero, then placed his name on the roll of baseball fame by slamming the ball against the left field fence. By the time the Tigers had relayed the ball home Rock-Crusher was decorating the bench with a satisfied smile on his countenance and the official scored her chalked up three scores for Kansas.
RESULT OF GAME NEVER IN DOUBT
From the time that Ammons turned loose his huge swat till the last man fell there was no question as to the result of the game. Kansas in general and "Jack" Walker in particular had the visitors' number. It was only in the sixth innning that the Tiger showed his teeth; the rest of his efforts were confined to feeble growls.
In that period an error and two hits, together with Hall's clever steal of third base brought two twisting players across the plate for their only scores.
The Missouri team appeared to be a weak hitting aggregation and were especially feeble in that department when hits were needed badly. When they did get on bases however they worked well and also showed ability in the field.
CAPTAIN HALL STARRED FOR MISSOURI
Captain Hall led his team in all around baseball. He made two hits, stole a pair of bases, scored one of
the tiger's two runs, and accepted his nine chances without an error.
Walker, for Kansas, pitched a steady game and had the visitors under control at all times. He allowed but six hits and gave but one pass to first, this when Taylor stepped in front of one of his slow ones.

Fill Out the Application Blank and Jump Into the
Bucket
Since the whitewash system has been adopted by the Missouri Valley Conference the Conference eligibility committee have arranged a regular blank form which the candidate for reinstatement has to fill out and present to the committee.
The men will be requested to answer the following questions, and on these answers the restatement to full amateur standing, if a violation of the rule has occurred, will depend.
Name in Tun Home address.
Name of institution and when matriculated.
Represented above institution,
when and name sport,
Represented other institutions,
presented other institutions,
If you participated as a member of the team, not connected with an educational institution, state when,
where and the name of the organization.
Are you acquainted with the Amateur rule as defined on page 20, Missouri Valley Conference Hand Book?
State frankly and to the best of our knowledge whether you have ever violated the above mentioned rule. If so state plainly and frankly, the name of organization concerned and the general nature of the violation.
The above signed statement of the baseball players will be sent to the Committee on Eligibility of the Missouri Valley Conference and they have full power to decide as to whether a man can play or not. The committee is, chiefman, D. W. Morehouse, University. Prof. S. W. Beyer, Iowa State College, and Prof. D. W. Morehouse, Drake University.
NO MORE WRESTLING
Lack of Support in Other Valley Schools Is The
Cause.
The attempt to put on a dual meet with Missouri has fallen through because of the failure of the Missouri student body to take sufficient interest in the sport to support a wrestling team. As none of the other schools of this division are actively interested in this sport it is probably that no further attempts will be made to secure matches for the Kansas Meat Eaters.
Unless the unexpected happens the University grapplers have reached the end of their schedule. Their hard work in preparing for the tournaments that they hoped be staged this spring has been in vain.
Coach Root however expects that in the near future wrestling will be made a Missouri Valley Conference sport.
TO SEND THREE TEAMS
Kansas Will Enter Eleven Mer In Des Moines Relay Carnival.
Kansas hopes will probably look better in this meet as some of the men who were unable to run in the indoor events will be able to run in this meet. Coach Hamilton is also expecting to develop several runners from the squad of green material which has been showing up well in practice.
The events entered will be the half-mile, mile and two mile relays. Each will be a four man event and it is in the center some of the men in two events.
The Kansas track team will have eleven entries in the Missouri Valley Relay games at Des Moines, April 20.

FRENCH TO COACH THE WINFIELD HIGHS
Kansas Captain Will Teach History and Athletics in Southern Kansas
The Winfield Free Press of April 8th, says:
"Captain French of the Kansas University track team has been secured by the Board of Education for the athletic coach for the school next year. He is the best all around athlete at K. U this year and has the reputation of being a fine coach and there is no reason why this school should not turn out a winning team in every season of the athletic season as they have the material and with the aid of a coach there is no school that ought to be able to win 'from them.'
"He will be the instructor in history to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of Miss Eddy who has held that place for the past three years. If he had been with the school earlier in this season the basket-ball team would have gone to Lawrence and returned home with Miss Eddy, which is already a victorious looking one would be in a better fix. The school has been without a coach since his withdrawal of Hermas Facold."

MEDICAL SCHOOL MAY PUBLISH A JOURNAL
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 11, 1912.
Plans Discussed and a Committee Appointed at the Meeting Last Night
IS VIVISECTION NECESSARY?
Harry Doty Read Paper on Surger of Living Animals—Dr. Chambers Spoke on "Fakes."
At the regular monthly meeting of the University Medical. Society last night in Snow hall, plans were discussed for the publishing of a Medical Journal, or bulletin which would be the organ of the entire medical school, and in which the papers read before the society at its meetings would be published. A committee was appointed for investigating the proposition further and starting it as soon as possible.
About fifty medical students and professors attended the meeting last night, and several good papers were presented. The eclipse was served after the meeting.
ANIMAL SURGERY NO CRIME
Harry Doty read a paper on Vivisection, in which he traced the practice from its origin, telling of the trials and struggles which it has survived, and some of the arguments for and against experimentation on living animals by medical students and physicians. Some of the benefits which he mentioned as direct from this practice are, our entire knowledge of physiology, the great assistance in the study of pathology, the practice of obstetrics, the study and treatment of cancer, experience in every phase of surgery and the great benefits derived from it, the actions of drugs, on the system, and the knowledge of bacteriology and hygiene.
"Those who object to the practice of vivisection," said Mr. Doty, "should first refrain from wearing furs, feathers and plumage, leather shoes and many other articles for which the lives of animals are sarcastic." We will be allowed to experiment on animals, we will have to use human beings."
MARK TWAIN A PHYSICIAN
and instructive paper on "Clampasia." He gave a number of examples of the trouble together with the treatment administered.
"Medical Fakes," was the subject of the paper, given by Dr. H. L. Chambers. He told of the so called electric belts, batteries, plates, etc., which are worked off on the mechanical of the various patent medicine which are supposed to cure all, and also of the efforts on the part of some to combat what they think are fakes. "A number of anti-vaccination, and anti-viisivation societies have been formed throughout the country to combat what they call a fake.
"I find that Mark Twain was somewhat of a doctor," said Dr. Chambers. "In his stories of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, he tells of a wart cure which Huck Flint says will never fail. A huck is, is cut, in half, and on one piece some blood from the wart is placed and the section buried. The other is burned, and when the half is buried, these "warts" it will cure down that must out."
Chancellor Frank Strong concluded the program with a short talk on some other takes, and on the medical school as one of the essential parts of the University. "For the first time," said Chancellor Strong, "we see our way clear for the development of a sound school of medicine. It is one of the essential schools in the University and its success is assured."
Addressed Entomologists.
Admitted Entomologists.
Prof. Warren Knaus of McPherson,
spoke to the 'Entomological club of
the University, Tuesday, on "Therminiscines of a Collector." He told
of his experiences in collecting, and his
association with the leading entomologists of the United States.

F.

These castings included 300 pounds of rub-plates, beers, boxings and other small pieces to be used on locomotives.
This work was done by the commercial department of Fowler schools, which was established this year. The work is done almost entirely by students, and is under the direction of Superintendent Warden.waren millipoton. yrewd
"We are glad to get such news as this," said Mr. Ward, when speaking of the letter, "because it shows that our work is of the best quality." Other schools have been doing commercial work for several years and filling contracts in territory around here. As this is our first year, we must establish our reputation before we can expect all the larger contracts. The fact that the students are standard locomotives, and pronounce them as good quality shows that the students are capable of turning out good work."

Negative Speakers Convince Judges That RecallShonld Be Avoided
IANSAS STRONG IN REBUTTAL
Decision Probably Based on Colo-
rado's Main Speeches—Rodebush
Made Fine Talk for Kansas
By the Judges' decision of two to one, the Kansas team were defeated in the annual debate with Colorado held at Fraser hall last night. A large crowd was present, and listened attentively to the excellent talks by the debaters representing both institutions. Prof. R. R. Price presided at the debate.
The question was, "Resolved: that the recall should be applied to the state judiciality." Kansas argued for the affirmative. Carson, the first speaker, after outlining the proposition, showed that judicial corruption and decisions based on technicalities was a result of irresponsibility of the judges; and advocated the recall, a method of direct control, as a remedy for the evils of the bench.
CORRUPTION NOT THE RULE
Storer, the first negative speaker, maintained that corruption on the bench was isolated and that it was due to short terms and low salaries. He argued that the recall would aggrivate, rather than alleviate the bad conditions.
Rodebush told how the judiciary were usurping legislative functions of government by allowing their personal opinions on social and economic question to affect their decisions. He declared that the judges should be directly responsible to the people.
Seeman, for Colorado, said that the recall, if adopted, would be used by the politicians, as a threat over the heads of the judges. He insisted that the proper way to get laws which were declared to be contrary to the constitution, was to amend the constitution, what burden from a maze
RECALL MORE VALUABLE AS A RESTRAINT Heller, the last affirmative speaker, argued that the recall is a simple, practical method of improving the judiciary. He advocated the theory that its chief value would be in its restraining power and not in its actual use.
Ombathead, in closing for the negative brought up the point that the people, not having a thorough knowledge of the law, could not fairly decide questions which would involve technicalities. The negative alternative of legislative removal of bad judges and giving the people the right of petition for an investigation was presented at this time.
Kansas was strong in rebuttal. The five minute speech of Robebush was particularly effective, and those who were influenced by last impressions were confident that Kansas would win. As is was, the decision was undoubtedly given to Colorado on their main speeches.
LOST AT OKLAHOMA TOO
The Kansas team, which debated on the negative of the recall question at Oklahoma last night lost to their opponent in a tie, followed Minor, McClelland and Davis represented Kansas.
DEBATING SOCIETY WILL DISCUSS TWO QUESTIONS
A meeting of the University of Kansas debating society will be held on April 19, and the program as it is given by Wayne Edwards, chairman of the program committee is as follows; First Debate - Resolved that the United States Government should grant old age pensions. Affirmative Allen, Flint, Williams. Negative Bennett, Bodington, McCormick.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Lying rides up on debt's back.
THE RIGHT KIND OF FELLOW. SHIP
Contrary to the general notion that the college and university fraternities are groups of men who segregate themselves from the student body for their own social benefit and to foster a spirit of purely good fellowship among themselves and perhaps snobbery, the national Greek letter organizations and societies are conducting an uplift campaign among their chapters that tends to bring the men in college who are the best students from the academic viewpoint into the fraternal organizations and makes for a more wholesome spirit in the fraternity and in its relation to its school.
Many of the national organizations now are supporting travelling secretaries who devote all of their time to visiting the various chapters, studying the institutions and advising the members of the local chapters in ways that will aid their university or college. Coincident with the desire for the welfare of the school is the insistence of the secretaries upon a high standard morally of the men who shall compose the various chapters of the fraternity. Chapters have been withdrawn from men who allowed the standard of their membership to fall low, upon the recommendation of such traveling secretaries.
Such a spirit in the fraternal organizations will undoubtedly make them a more potent factor in the advancement of higher education—it draws the best in the institutions together for the mutual benefit of all.
CUMULATIVE EXPERIENCE
At the meeting of the Student Council Tuesday night, a resolution was passed advocating the election of the editor-in-chief and the business manager of the jayhawker by the members of the junior class, the officers so elected to act as assistant or associate editors under the senior men in office.
Undoubtedly, such a plan would give the men in charge of the Jayhawker a more favorable opportunity to improve the senior book, add new features and obtain material that often is hard for the board under the present plan of election, to get. It would mean that the benefit of the accumulation of the experience of all the staffs of Jayhawkers would be obtained for the latest number published.
There should be no question regarding the matter of securing men to fill the office that requires two years' work in place of the job that required but one year's effort before. The very fact that the efficiency of the men in charge, their ability to undertake the work for which they were elected, is doubly increased by the change should induce any man in the class to devote such time as would be necessary to the work. When a man enters his name upon the list for election to the position of either manager or editor of the Jay-hawker, it is understood that he is willing to do all in his power to increase the efficiency of his staff and raise the excellence of his book
Only an office seeker who does not have at heart the interests of his publication would refuse to devote two years to the job of putting out an annual, of securing material improvements.
The measure should be adopted as a step in advance in the history of annual making at the University of Kansas. It means that the annual board will have the character of those self-perpetuating boards of University publications, in that the fruit of experience of all the editors is accumulated in the last Jayhawker that is published.
WOMEN STUDENTS BARRED
Newspaper men who have learned their business in the hard school of experience are naturally interested to see what the school of journalism that has been established as part of Columbia university will accomplish Through the generosity of the late Joseph Pulitzer, the teaching of journalism will now have a fair trial with unlimited facilities for demonstrating just what can be done by way of equiping the young college man for a newspaper career. It is surprising, however, that with all the money at the disposal of the trustees, no provision has been made for enrolling young women in the school. With privileges and advantages much greater than any other similar institution possesses, it is beyond the understanding of the active newspaper writer why discrimination should be made against woman in a field that she has entered successfully and in which she is proving her usefulness.
The newspaper profession was one of the first to welcome women into its ranks. From the very nature of the work it is attractive to women who are sincere in their desire to excel. Of course, there are no places for the dililetante. Nothing about newspaper work is easy, and the professional writer is confronted with the daily necessity of "making good" on his own account. The newspaper, as a rule, does not play favorites and the field is wide open to every man and woman with the right sort of qualifications. But there is no other occupation in which the rewards of real merit are more certain. Nor is there any other occupation which is so pleasant and fascinating to its earnest devotees.
Every metropolitan newspaper now employs women for certain kinds of work. There are many things which a trained woman can do on a newspaper better than her male associates, just as there are many things in the making of a newspaper for which women are not adapted. But as long as women have access to journalism there is no reason why they should not have equal advantages in schools of preparation.
In view of this, it will be the verdict of many able newspaper men that the Columbia school of journalism has made a mistake in debarring women students. Yet, after all, the harm may not be great. Women with an aptitude for newspaper work seldom need them. If they are to succeed at all they will demonstrate that fact sooner, as a rule, than men.
As yet no large newspaper takes a school of journalism diploma very seriously. This is no reflection upon the schools themselves. It simply means that journalism, like law or medicine, must be learned in the actual laboratory of experience and all that the school can do it to fit young men and women to enter as intelligent apprentices. And in doing this it unquestionably has value.-Kansas City Journal.

NCE upon a time there was
Miser who used to hide his golf
den; but every week he got to go out
dig it up and gloat over his gains. A robber, who had noticed this, went and due up the golf and decamped with it. He took some treasures over his treasures, he found nothing but the empty hole. He tore his hair, and in the neighbours same around him, and he told them how he used to come and visit his gold. "Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "What did you do to loot"
"Nay," said he, "I only came to look at it."
"Then come again and look at the hot jeans on your feet. "It will do you just as much good."

THE HUMOR OF BEING FUNNY
Strange coincidence.
Judd Mortimer Lewis in the Magazine
cancer
NOT long age I found a letter in my mail, a letter which was signed by, a name unknown to me and which read: "Dear Judd!—Have your jug uncorked and some good whittin' handy, I'm gain't to drop in to see you on Tuesday. Yours, etc. ..."
So many strange things drift in the mail that I did not give the matter of who my correspondent might be a second thought. Tuesday morning, however, he came. A middle-aged man with a weatherbeaten face, dressed like a vaudville farmer and carrying a dejected and discouraged six-bit telescope. He dropped the 'scope and rushed at me with both hands extended. I am something like Lincoln was when he lifted his hat to the old negro. He couldn't afford to be less polite than a negro. I cannot afford to be less cordial than any person who invades my den, so I met my visitor half way and we hung to one another and did a sort of a barn dance about my diminutive den. Then I removed my foot from the waste basket, righted my paste-bowl, and we had a good visit.
THOUGHT HE WAS FAMOUS
After careful maneuvering I succeeded in learning that my visitor lived in a wide place in the road up the state and that he had written one set of verses, and they had been published in the local weekly. And on the strength of that he believed himself famous. And I succeeded in getting rid of him after a time without waking him! That is some of the humor of being funny.
Yesterday a sweet appearing old lady knocked timidly at my door and in answer to my invitation came in and occupied my chair while I stood up. An extra chair in one's office is too handy a perch for a stistil. She said that she wanted to ask a favor of me. I replied that the favor was granted before it was asked. It was then she turned around and she came to state the nature of it. All she wanted me to do was to permit her to rub my head until it was covered by a complete coat of hair, and then pose for her for an advertisement. "A famous man would make such a good advertisement."
I claim that sometimes I am a思享师. I offer in proof of the truth of that claim that without any appreciable pain I began to grieve with the lady because I had already begun the use of a hair grower which I thought was really making my hair grow; so that even if I did take advantage of her kind offer and achieve a brush-heap neither she or myself could be certain that it was her treatment which had caused the death of her husband and sister. She saw the soundness of my argument and drifted away to call on another famous baldhead to whom I directed her. And I'll lay she's rubbing his head right now. My better half hints that had she been young and pretty instead of old and sweet she would be rubbing my head. But that is manifestly unfair. If she was young and pretty she wouldn't need to. That is some of the fun of being a humorist.
MORE VISITORS
It is the unexpected that is always happening which makes being a humorist funny. One day not long ago a man came into my den, hauled his purse out of his pocket, and told me with tears coursing
SOME SURPRISES
nown his cheeks that he wanted me to write an obituary to his mother-in-law. The same afternoon a richly dressed young lady came to me and offered me a pretty price to pen an obituary to a defunct a-band-tan purp. A little later a lady called me over the phone and asked to know what I would charge to write an obituary to a little baby. When I had named the price which the necessity for self protection has compelled me to set upon such work she replied that I did not think recourse was available and of verse, and that since it would cost so much she guessed she would do without it. There is an example of the fun of being a humorist. A mother-in-law, a dog, and a baby. And the baby got the worst of it!
The humorist attends a party, or any kind of a gathering, and a large, overflowing lady rushes up to him with both hands out and greets him as "Fellow craftsman!" He learns that she one time writ a pome. All the other guests at the party are the humorous people in a cary turn of mind," and they promise to bring him their effusions to read.
HUMORIST HAS EASY TIME
And yet it is a beautiful and a funny world, that in which the humorist lives and moves and has his being. The very nature of his occupation compels him to seek out the funny side of life and walk on that side. The saying that being a humorist is serious business is pure drivel.
Doing a column a day is one of the easiest things the humor does. Suppose, for instance, he is to have his column ready to hand in at high noon. He drifts into his sanctum at 8 a.m., reads the morning paper leisurely. Entertains a book-agent for a time. Answers a few telephone calls. Smokes a pipe or two, and waits for the inspiration which is to be freshish. He is to read his column. He thinks of four thousand themes without a splinter of inspiration about them, and rejects them with disgust. Then, at half past eleven, he hears music and looks from his window to see a band which is parading past, followed by a ra-gail little nigger. He swings 'round to his typewriter and hammers out some "ompham" verse.
* *
"But what if a band doesn't come along?" Oh, then he gets his theme elsewhere; but he is always done in time to go to press.
HIT OR MISS?
TROTS are generally used by college Freshmen in translating Greek and Latin because students are not taught the art of translation, according to an editorial in "The Classical Journal" for February. The editorial, under the caption, "A Neglected Art," points out that the deficiency is not one of lack of knowledge of the grammatical forms in question but of ignorance of how to translate.
"Observation in preparatory class rooms leads the writer to believe that much of the trouble lies in over emphasis on drill in grammatica terminology in distinction from ineternation," says the author. "That is, a boy is asked in school twenty times to say that erunt is "future indicative, third person plural," where he is asked once to say that erunt is "they will be;" and he is asked twenty times more to give the "future indicative, third person plural" of sum, where he is asked once to give the Latin for they to ask the Latin for a Greek of a Latin or Greek word his first thought is to locate it in his grammatical formulae and to give it in a grammatical name not to catch its meaning and to speak it in his own tongue. His training has stopped short of the end for which the training was intended; the grammatical terminology was a means to an end he has mastered the means and stopped there. It has been fine men gymnastics but it has not enable him to read Latin and Greek."
That teachers fail to give their pupils training in the art of transition is another contention which the writer holds. According to him the boy needs months of constant practice in this line before he gains the power of applying his grammatical knowledge to the translation problem. "Hit or miss" sight translation, "where two or three bright pupils together patch up the meaning of the sentence while the rest sit in helpless amazement as to how they do it," the writer believes to be a travesty on real teaching—Daily Maroon.

If a river has feelings and is human enough to dislike work, the Kansas river has no friendly regard for J. D. Bowersock of Lawrence. It was Mr. Bowersock who put the Kaw on the job of turning out light and power for Lawrence and her industries. His is the only power plant on the river.
Everybody knows what waterpower means to a town. Lawrence is a flourishing example of the benefits that flow from a big river hooked up to a big dam and a power plant.
In considering Lawrence as a location for business, look into its advantages in the matter of power.

MENTAL EXERCISE IS GOOD FOR BODY, TOO
Prof. Blackmar Says Genera Health Is Benefited by Brain Labor
In speaking of mental fatigue this morning, Dr. F. W. Blackmar, dean of the graduate school and professor of sociology said that he entirely agreed with Dr. Charles K. Mills, professor of neurology in the University of Pennsylvania, in the statement that he made yesterday that mere brain work doesn't hurt.
"I believe that mental exercise is just as essential to health if taken under rational conditions as is physical exercise," continued Professor Blackmar. "If study could be carried on under conditions where there is plenty of oxygen the student would be just as healthy as the athlete.
"Take two persons for instance. One who puts in all his time exercising physically and the other studying in the open air. The student will, of course, be strong mentally and the athlete, physically, but as far as power of resisting disease would be as great in the student as in the athlete.
"We have always heard of the poor pale, emaciated book-worm. Nothing could be more erroneous. I believe that the student who works hard and takes no other exercise except walking, and breathes plenty of oxygen, will be more able to withstand the exigencies of ordinary business life than the physical cultist. The physical cultist is likely to discontinue his exercises and in this way be worse off than if he had not exercised."

An idea of the musical importance of "Madame Sherry" may be obtained from the fact that it requires four prima donnas to do justice to its musical score. The principal vocal part is that of Yvonne Sherry, a little convent girl who suddenly finds herself in the midst of life's gaieties and loses her heart to the first likely young man she meets. Then there is the part of Katherine, the housekeeper, to whose role belongs the comic numbers of the piece. Next in importance is the role of Lulu, the aesthetic dancer, who first introduces the audience to those haunting strains, "Ev'ry Little Movement Has a Meaning All Its Own," and then is there the part of Pepita, the fiery Spanish girl who carries her mother's dagger in her garter. "Madame Sherry" will be presented here Saturday April 13th. —Adv.

TO STUDY RESULTS OF ACETANELID
Dean Sayre Says Too Much
The board of health of Kansas has begun an investigation of Acetanelid and the dangerous results that might come from continued use of the drug.
sumed.
Of the Drug is Con-
"Too much acetaniloid is consumed," said Dean Sayre. "The consumer is not aware of the dangerous properties of the drug, and are liable to bring injuries upon themselves from its indiscriminate use."
Dean Sayre says that the fault of its use lies mainly with a certain class of prescribers and that many of these are also those who have shown a view concerning the nature of atrial fluid.
"Physicians and pharmacists are not alone to blame," continued Dean Sayre. "The blame rests very largely with the unthinking public who know nothing of the definite action of the remedial agents, and with whom it is unsafe to entrust administration of potent remedies by self-medication."
*Acotanilide is not a habit producing drug, but is used by many because it has been recommended by a friend and its use found to be very satisfactory. However, and after it has been used for some time the heart is finally overcome.
The board of health is attempting a missionary work along the line of drug education. What it will do in all probability when its investigations are completed, will be put before the people the exact facts, and ask them to co-operate in checking any further danger to public health, and to remedy as far as practicable, any harm now found to be in existence."

TIGER PLUCKED A JAYHAWKER FEATHER
Defeated Sherwin's Hopes in a Real Baseball Contest
1 to 0
GAME A PITCHERS' BATTLE
The Missouri Tigers won the game yesterday afternoon at the Hopes by a 1 to 0 count. But it was a good game to lose. From the time that Helm strolled into the box and threw the first strike of the game till he reached home, which one the shivering crowd on the bleachers were watching an honest and truly baseball game.
Honors Were Even Until the Eight
Inning—Even Shorty Spilled
The Beans
The Tigers had but two chances to score but they made one of them good and the game was lost for Kansas. The Jayhawks on the other hand had more opportunities to chase a run across, but, with men on bases the bingles that meant runs failed to materialize.
GAME LOST IN THE EIGHTH
In this unfortunate session Huston hit a single to left field and went around to third on a pair of infield outs. It was lamentable that Shorty Orden, chose this particular time to break into the passed ball column, but the sad truth must be told, Shorty let one slip and Missouri pocketed the game.
Captain Hull of Missouri was again the star performer of his crowd, picking up two of the Tigers and eleven chances without a bobble.

The pitchers of both teams worked in great style and there was little doing in the hitting line for either party. Busiek gave three hits one of which was one of the scratch type. Kansas was able to gather but two bingles from the Tiger delivery. In the matter of passes however the Kansas slabman had the best of his opponent, as he gave not a single free ticket. Helm on the other hand issued four.
In the hitting department, Buzick gleaned one long swat off his opponent's delivery and travelled three laps on the same, but after anchoring at third, never left his moorings. Hall of Missouri picked a double that did much damage in the eighth innning.

The University of Kansas band wants two more good clarinet players, and a good tuba man. Professor McCanless said this morning that there was a good horn for the right man.
President Culbertson, of the College of Emporia, has created a committee of the faculty, known as the student employment committee, to whom all agents with vacation work propositions must go before they approach the faculty with their "graft." The Faculty's objective hopes to protect students from engaging in profitless summers. The best schemes, however, will be investigated and made known to the students by this means.

SOCCER ENTHUSIASTS TO GAMBOL ON GREEN
Revival of Out Door Sport Starts the First of Next Week
Spring work for the gym classes will start the first of next week with the revival of soccer foot ball on the field south of the gymnasium, C.B. Root, director of athletics, believes in keeping his men out of doors as much as possible and soccer has been found to be the most successful and beneficial sport ever taken up by the members of the athletic classes.
The interest shown in the game last fall was sufficient for the formation of two teams and a number of successful games were played with Baker, William Jewell and other colleges in this section of the country. Since the first warm spring days the men who composed these teams have been working out cross country, getting back their wind and easing up the winter stiffening of their joints. The reorganization of the soccer teams will take place within the next week or two and in all probability the material will be in better condition than when they played last fall.
"The interest shown in the game of soccer is growing to an extent that it is possible that I may be able to form in third or even a fourth team next fall, so valid Mr. Root this morning."
"The men are beginning to realize the scientific points about the game and its distinction from the English Rugby game. In Rugby the players make the plays for themselves, while in soccer the players must play each play and there are lots of opportunities for speedy head work and scientific judgement during a game. The men like it; while it is still compulsory for the gym classes, they do not object to it as they did when it first was started."

Seven Kansas Record Holders Graduate With Class
of 1912
Seven record holders in track athletics will bid farewell to the University when the class of 1912 is graduated in June.
The senior class this year holds more University track records than any other class that has ever been from 'the University of Kansas.

This record was the Maimon alleyal tree until the recent indoor athletics with Missouri. The record is now held by Nicholson of Missouri at the height of 6 ft. 1% inches.
The broad jump record held by Wilson is a Missouri Valley record. His ability will not be equaled for some distance. The distance is 22 ft. 10" 1/2 inches.
Invitations have been issued for the wedding of Carl Pleasant, captain of the K. U. football team in 1999, and Miss Gertrude Edith Copley of Kansas City. The wedding will be held April 20 at the bride's home at 308 Brooklyn.
Ammona holds the discus record,
the distance being 115 feet, 7 inches.

Dr. H. S. Pritchett, in Annual Report Makes Statement in Regard
to Condition in Nebraska
Dr. Henry S. Pritchett, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Education, gives some interesting figures, in his sixth annual report, concerning the colleges and universities of Nebraska. The situation is very similar in Kansas.
Dr. Pritchett says:
"In almost every state of the union there are more colleges in name than the country needs, or can afford. They have been started without much regard to the ultimate educational demands. Many of them have existed by doing the work of high schools, and now that the high school system of most states is being rapidly developed, many of these institutions, founded in an educational enthusiasm and having neither the means nor the facilities for doing college work, have a hard struggle for existence. Denominational, state and local rivalries have done much to swell this list of weak, and often superfluous colleges. In many cases their existence makes impossible the existence of good high schools which would better serve the educational interests of the community.
NEBRASKA A GOOD STATE
"For example, in Nebraska, which had a population in 1910 of 1,192,214, there are thirteen colleges and universities, all in the fertile and populous central plains. Of these thirteen institutions is the well-supported and accessibly located state university, another is a university conducted by the Jesuit Fathers, and a third is a privately endowed institution. Each of the remaining ten colleges was founded by a protestant denomination, is controlled by it, and appeals to the denominational constituency for support.
NEBRASKA A GOOD EXAMPLE
"One of these colleges gives no means in its catalog for estimating its number of college students. The other nine have a total college enrollment of 841, or an average of 93 college students each. The total on rollment of all of the departments of these institutions, apart from summer schools, is 3,051, or an average of 340 each. It thus appears that these colleges, founded in days of
pioneer enthusiasm, or of boom prospects, and maintained 'by efforts of denominations and the sacrifices of individuals, are chiefly engaged in individuals, are music and business school work, rather than in college education.
"To reduce these ten struggling colleges to two or three would relieve many conscientious people from severe financial pressure, and would greatly improve the level of higher education in Nebraska."
WHATA COLLEGE SHOULD DO Dr. Pritcht says, in speaking of the affiliation of an educational institution its old retired officers and professors:
"When an institution calling itself a college hires its professors by the month, and pays such salaries as only youths just out of college can accept, it is not to be expected that a high sense of obligation will characterize its trustees. In the gradual growth of the country such institutions will either disappear or find their place, many of them as secondary schools. It is in the stronger colleges whether small or large, that one must expect the beginning of the movement for a just recognition of the obligation that the colleges owes to an old and faithful servant."

HAZARDS OF CO-EDRS
First Games for Annual Tennis Tournament Will Be Played Next Week
Notice has been given by Captain C. E. Hawes of the tennis squad that tryouts for the coming spring tournament will start the first of next week. So far the damp weather has not given the courts a chance to dry up from the winter siege through which they have been. But a few days of spring sunshine will put them in first class condition and the wielders of the racket are to be given an opportunity to get into form for the Round Robin tournament. The tryouts will be held on whatever courts are available to the players. All students who have ever played any tennis are urged to come out for the tournament. Names may be telephoned or handed in to C. E. Hawes or Paul Nees.

MARVIN TALKS ON VALUE OF FADS"
Dean of Engineering Schoo Urges Relaxation From Daily Grind.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 12, 1912.
FOR ALL ROUND DEVELOPMENT
Thinks Profitable Fad Tends to Give One Broader Outlook on Life And Wider Range.
“Every person should have something to do outside of his regular vocation,” said Dr.F,O.Marvin,Dean of the School in Chicago, in his talk chapel in this church.
"It is true that a man cannot lose sight of his real work. The daily grind of the regular school work is what students come here for, but I don't know where they go outside of this. Try to get into something for your all round development.
"It is rather hard to define the term 'fad' but Iwould class it under avocation. It should amount to something else besides the distraction or the recreation that it gives. It should be something entirely foreign to your regular work and while it may be taken up in the beginning merely as a diversion it may turn out to be an avocation and be of some practical benefit.
"At a summer resort where I was staying one time, was a man who could not enjoy himself unless he was doing some physical exercise. After he had read the morning paper he was exceedingly out of sorts until he could get out and go fishing or something. He had no internal resources whatever. He had probably been so taken up with the cares of a business life that he had not the time to take up any fad outside of his regular vocation.
THIS COULDNT HAVE
HAPPENED IN KANSAS
"The man who has a profitable tab is one who is more likely to be more broad minded and have a wider range in his view of life."
Cigarettes have put the freshman law class at the University of Notre Dame out of business. Williams Poyntell Downing of Decatur, III, as president of the class, included cigarettes on the menu at the banquet which was held at the Oliver hotel in South Bend. Official action followed swiftly. The class has been disbanded and will receive no recognition of the college organization. It will not be permitted to hold in future any banquets or dances. All freshmen who attended the banquet have been officially notified of their delinquency and the usual notification has been sent to their parents. Downing has been suspended for two months.
FILLED THE HUNGRY
Freshmen at Northwestern are subject to several unusual regulations. They may not use automobiles or cabs in the college town, must limit the depth of their trouser "cuffs" to four inches, and in addition are forbidden to smoke pipes or to smoke cigarettes in public.
Dr. Robert Nelson Spencer, pastor of the Trinity Episcopal Church of Kansas City, Mo., spoke at the Y. M. C.A. meeting last night on the social work that his church is doing in Kansas City. Dr. Spencer's church is known for finding problems somewhat different from those of the boulevard churches.
Dr. Spencer Tells How His Church Did Practical Charity Work
NUMBER 59.
He has decided that in order to win, the church must be harnessed to the practical problems of life. In accordance with this principle, Dr. Spencer opened his church during a part of the cold weather of the past winter and lodged and fed fifty men and secured work for them.
Another step taken by Dr. Spencer was the establishing of a convalescent home where thirty patients can be cared for. It is the hope of Dr. Spencer that this will become a municipal institution.
SOUVENIRS FOR EDITORS
Two Interesting Mementos of Law
rence Meeting We Distributed
two interesting souvenirs were given to the editors while they were here. One was from the Life Publishing Company and the other from the students in printing in the department of journalism.
"A little bunch of laughs for the serious minded Kansas editors," that was given by Life, contains a number of sketches and stories from Life magazine. It is about one fourth the size of the real magazine and bound in the same manner.
The "Editorial Baedeke" issued by the printers, is a sixteen page booklet "done in tabloid." It includes brief sketches of Lawrence and the University besides "two editorial fillers" or the menu for the two luncheons given to the editors. The Baedeke is tied with crimson and blue cord. It is being mailed to the editors in the state.
FIRST GRADUATING RECITAL A SUCCESS
Miss Reynolds, Soprano, and Arthur Johnston, Piano, GivenLast Night
The first of the graduating recitals of the School of Fine Arts was given last evening in Fraser hall by Cora Reynolds, soprano, and Arthur Johnston, piano. Both of these young people have appeared before University audiences a number of times before and they were enthusiastically received by a large crowd. Miss Reynolds lives in Lawrence and Mr. Johnston's home is in Cottonwood Falls.
Since coming to the University, Miss Reynolds has sung at a number of recitals and has been the soloist at several of the Lawrence churches. In her group of songs, she displayed probably the most versatility of interpretation, although her opening song "The Woman" was also from *Rejoice Greatly* from Handel's Messiah were difficult and required much technique.
In 1901 Harold Henry graduated from the School of Fine Arts on the piano and until Arthur Johnston gave his recital last night there never has been a man who has graduated from piano at the University. Harold Henry has won a womens for himself in the musical world and at that time he also wrote the opinion that if Mr. Johnston continues in his work he will attain a like success.
In Donizettell's Sextet from "Lucius" arranged for the left hand alone by Leschitziksy, and in Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12 he showed a wonderful mastery of the piano and was called back again and again for his piano piece, which showed strength, interpretation, and sympathy.
One Mr. Thermo Meter, who lives in the little white house on the Fowler green, is cultivating a lofty and uppish manner. He's building an airplane, he says, and expects to do some aviating. Brother Baro is helping him by arranging for fair weather tonight and tomorrow.

Senior Girls Arrange for Benefit Entertainments in the Nickel Theaters
PATTEE AND AURORA,APRIL 23
Week Night Date Rules Official Suspended—Will Show Four Reels of Special Films.
Patrons of the "Jitney" shows among the students and the people of Lawrence will have the opportunity to get their fill of moving pictures with the "lil off" on Tuesday, the 23rd of this month. At the instance of Dean Templin, a project for a benefit for the girl's dormitory was referred to the senior girls of the University, who accepted the proposition and immediately acted.
At the meeting of the senior girls yesterday noon, it was decided to hold a benefit at the down town nickels, a week from Tuesday, and the matter of management and ticket selling was put under the direction of Delpha Johnson.
WEEK-NIGHT RULE SUSPENDED
WEEK-NIGHT RULE SUSPENDED
Mrs. Pattee, of the Pattée Nickel,
and Mr. Gibbons of the Aurora theater had been previously prevailed upon to donate their houses for the one day. Special relics were found that they had incurred for the occasion. Roaring comedies and classical subjects only, will be used and the admission to each house will be ten cents.
The tickets will be placed on sale next Friday and Monday in the main buildings. Tickets may also be secured from senior girls over the campus on those days.
Dean Templin has given permission for all ordinances against mid-week dates to be rescinded on that one day; hence the "lid will be off."

BIG SACRED CHORUS AT FINAL VESPERS
Kansas
Jane Addams, founder of the Social Settlement at Hull House, Chicago, will be in Lawrence during the second week in May, in the interests of Equal Suffrage.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Dr. Alberta Corbin, of the German department, state chairman of the membership extension of the Equal Suffrage League of Kansas, has received word from the Suffrage Headquarters in Topeka, that Miss Addams will spend ten days, from May 6 to 15, in Kansas, to aid in the Equal Suffrage campaign over the state.
"One of Miss Addams' chief interests is suffrage," said Dr. Corbin today, "because she believes the ballot is the direct means for the betterment of people. Other organizations have tried to induce Miss Addams to lecture in the West, but have failed. It is her great interest in suffrage which brings her here now."
While in Lawrence, Miss Addams will be the guest of honor at a luncheon given under the auspices of the women's organizations of Lawrence and of the University. A representative from each organization may be appointed as a member of a committee to arrange for the luncheon.

A NEW EDITOR FOR THE LAW JOURNAI
W. E. McLain Succeeds W.T.
Griffin—Tryouts Open
to Juveniles
to Juniors
At a meeting of the advisory board of the University of Kansas Law Journal yesterday afternoon, the resignation of W. T. Griffin as associate editor-in-chief from the Middle class of the School of Law was received and accepted. W. E. McLain was elected to fill the place made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Griffin.
The election of members to the board from the Junior class was deferred and the present editor-in-chief, Van Martin, was directed to notify the Juniors that the selection of Junior members would be made by the advisory board after meeting with all members to all Juniors. Those wishing to try out will be given a chance on the work for the first number of the Journal and the members will be chosen depending on the quality of this work.
KIRMESS IS TRAINED BY PUPIL OF 'CZAR' DANSEUR
The senior girls will give a Polish dance, and the junior girls a Japanese dance, at the Kirmess, Saturday, April 27. These dances will be drilled by Miss Helen Thomas, of Kansas City, Mo.
SUN 10:45 AM
Miss Thomas studied for two years at the Chalfal Normal Training School in New York City. Mr. Chalfa is a scholar in the Imperial Ballet, at St. Petersburg.
Robert C. Hubbell, of Fredoria, Kan., who attended the University last year, is visiting Richard Gardner, a sophomore in the College.
James O. Rodgers, the Yale graduate co of coach, has cut the varsity crew to thirty-eight candidates, only six of whom weigh less than 170 pounds. The varsity weight of the squad is 174 pounds.
DECORATIONS ARE ELABORATE
Surpass Eforts of Previous Proms-
Girls Active in Decorating
The decorations for the junior Prom are by far more elaborate than in the last two preceding years.
The general plan of the decoration is the usual Japanese garden effect. The decorative scheme used was from a catalog of the Boston Motor show.
Streamers of green and white bunting are hung from the center of the gym and are draped to the railing, which is covered with smilax.
Perhaps one of the causes for the general artistic effect of the hall lies in the fact that the girls of the junior class helped in the decorations, something that has rarely been done in the past.

CLASS VISITS TWO
DAYS AT PRISONS
Gave 'Rock Chalk' in Women's Ward—Will Take Two More Trips
Prof. V, E. Helleberg and his class in Sociology returned last night from the annual inspection tour of the prisons at Lansing and Leavenworth. The class was much smaller this year than usual, only seventeen besides Mr. Helleberg and a Daily Kansan representative making the trip.
The State Penitentiary at Lansing was visited first, the class being the guests of Warden and Mrs. Codding Wednesday night. Thursday morning a complete round of the interesting places was made. The entire party was taken down one of the mines, over 700 feet below the surface. The boys penetrated one of the tunnels almost a mile and were shown how the convicts mine the coal. A picture of the party in mines is on the prison photographer. A incident the morning was the singing of the "Crimson and the Blue," followed by a rousing "Rock chalk," in the women's ward. There are 934 convicts in the Kansas penitentiary now.
The visit to the United States penitentiary at Leavenworth was made Thursday afternoon. The huge prison dining room was perhaps the greatest point of interest. 900 men eat at the same time here, a 14-piece orchestra furnishing continual music. This penitentiary is said to furnish better food to its inmates than any other prison in America.
Two more trips will be made this spring by the classes in Sociology. One will be to Kansas City in order to study the charity organizations and conditions, and the other to Topeka, to visit the State Insane Asylum.
The Bertillon system of identification was elaborately explained by the officer in charge. 1060 civil prisoners were on the current now, "including 119 life-term men."

Jack Wright, The Lottery Man, Gives Aged Spinsters a Chance.
LUCKY NUMBER IS STOLEN
Jack Clears $150,000.
Kitchen Maid Has Ticket 7323 But
Prefers to Marry The Butler—
Jack Clears 8150,000
"The Lottery Man," which the Masque Club will stage Tuesday and Wednesday nights of next week, deals with an elaborate money making scheme of Jack Wright, an erratic newspaper reporter.
Wright decides to sell chances on himself at one dollar per, and advertises the scheme over the entire country. He hopes in this way to make about half of all the maids who will gladly jump at the opportunity of getting a husband.
At the end of four weeks he has sold 300,000 chances. Foxy Peyton,owner of his paper, and a large number of Jack's friends all buy chances on him for Helene Heyer with whom he is in love. He has not yet been able to do with him, however, because she thinks he is making such a fool of himself in this lottery.
On the day of the drawing Jack and his friends are at the home of Foxy Peyton waiting for the returns of the lucky number. He says that the lucky number is 1323.
LIZZIE IS LUCKY GIRL
It happens that Lizzie Roberts, a companion to Mrs. Peyton who is a hyphen-drive, and takes treatments of Hedwig Jansson the Swedish masseur, had put him in this case this was the lucky 1323. The origi- ditions of the lottery were, that if Wright should refuse to marry the winner, she should receive all of the money made from the scheme. Jack finally decides that he cannot marry the winner and that he will have to give her up, together with all the money. Of course Lizzie is very much swelled up over the affair, since in either case she will get the benefit of the money.
Just when Jack is preparing to turn the money over to Lizzie, the butler tells him that she stole the ticket from Nora, the kitchen maid. This changes the situation, for Nora is already in possession of the ticket to let Wright out of the contract for half the money. Wright gives her half the money, and makes $150,000 himself which is even more than he had expected to get at the beginning.
Of course, Jack marries Helene and Lizzie remains an old maid.
Moe L. Freidman, "11, who is practicing law in Kansas City is visiting friends at the University. Freidman was one of the writers of the "Idle Idol" given by the Red Domino club last year. He saw the presentation of "Object: Matrimony" Tuesday evening and was much pleased with the performance.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times.
TURNING THINGS TO ACCOUNT With the word of commendation of the Santa Fe railway company for the work that the students in Fowler Shops are doing in casting, another field in which the University can aid in a practical way, the industries of the state, is opened. Moreover, this department was not organized primarily for the benefit of those industries, but rather the aid that the state can give them through the University is incidentally attendant upon the work of the department. The students are enrolled in the course and their work is turned into channels that pays for itself.
CAMPAIGN LITERATURE
A movement among the students has been started by the Men's Student Council to engender in the political struggle that will develop this spring in the election of the officers and members of the Student Council and of the Athletic Board, a spirit to keep from the campus all campaign literature of any kind that would be used to influence voters in the election.
Such a spirit should be encouraged and, by common consent, all those interested in the election this spring should make it a point to conduct their campaigns without the aid of such poor publicity as handbills thrown about the campus can give.
Two years ago, the University saw its worst epidemic of handbills and campaign literature in the class elections in the fall. Libelous statements by the opposition were rife and mud-slinging was common. The janitors worked harder to clean up that week than ever before or since.
Measures were passed in the Student Council at that time to put a stop to such practices in the class politics, and since then the classmates have behaved themselves with fair decency in their election turmoil in the fall.
For the election of the Student Council and the Athletic Board no such practice should ever have any encouragement from the students. The highest office that the undergraduate student-body can give to one of its members is a place upon their Council and the man that wins such a position bears the responsibility along with the honor. In the election of men who shall receive the honor and responsibility of the place, the best man should be elected, the man with the greatest executive ability and the man who appreciates all circumstances attendant upon his position.
In making the choice of such individuals, the student electoral body should not be worried, their minds should not be detracted from the main issue by poisonous libelous, mud-slinging, yellow handbills such as campaign literature often represents. These two elections, should be argued and decided on the basis of true merit and of the principles for which the men running for office stand as well as the personal character of the candidates.
A MEDICAL JOURNAL
A Medical Journal published by the Medical Society of the University would take the same place in that profession as the Law Journal published by the students in the School of Law and those who are working in that profession. It is unquestioned that there is a need for such a journal for the medical students—it would help form a closer relation between the members of the profession who are out of school and the students, the embryo doctors. It is to be hopeful that the committee that was charged with the investigation of the matter for the Medical Society will be able to organize such a publication.
WHAT SOME OF THEM SAY
ABOUT US
There were many objects of interest for the visitors, but the one thing upon which the editorial eye naturally focused itself most intently was the department of journalism, and pry about as much as the skeptical, have-to-be-shown, practical, hard-headed Kansas editors did, they found little chance for the use of their hammers. This hot-house nursery of budding journalistic genius stood the inspection well, from the live-wire head of the establishment, to the tenderest, freshest bud of them all, and there are some tender, fresh ones. One of them called up the dignified, serious-minded dean of the University the other day when he was busy with a class, to ask him about his accomplishments as a cheeker player. And shortly after Melville E. Stone, the head of the Associated Press, and one of the really big men of the world, arrived in Lawrence Monday, another one of these rising young journalists was posing around in the crowd asking "Who is this guy, Stone, anyway?" These young buds, however, are making good and printing the best college daily in the world, from about every standpoint, and to show that they were the real thing, they cut out sleep Monday night, and put out an extra for the visitors. By the time they were ready to leave town, the products of the old time newspaper school of hard knocks and from-the-devil-up had to give in and admit that this new University department is making good, and is far from being a foolish waste of Hon. Tax-payer's money.—Chanute Daily Tribute.
By a vote of four to one, students at the University of California, recently declared themselves against the use of liquors at the banquets, smokers, or other functions held at the University. A total of 765 were cast, 627 for the resolution and 138 against it.
Seven young women members of the senior class of Barnard College have completed their work for bachelors' degree a half year ahead of their class and are now working for their masters' degree at Columbia. Most of them were prominent in student activities, one having been an editor of the Barnard annual last year. Five of them are preparing to teach.

THE GIRL YOU'LL NEVER MEET.
The saddest words of tongue or pen Are the phrase, 'It might have
But just the thought, with gloom replete.
They pass you by the score each day.
To fascinate and glide away,
Lost in the crowded, rushing street—
These girls you see, but never meet.
Of girls you see, but never meet.
They have the glamor distance brings Unknown, idealized, there clings To all their smiles and nods discreet A charm unfound in girls you meet.
You're dining with a girl who dotes
On you, when in the room there floats
A charming maid jolie, petite;
She is the girl you'll never meet.
Her nose is slightly retrouse,
Her eyes are sparkling, teasing, gay;
The girl you know cannot compete
With this one, whom you'll never meet
And yet, some other fellow, too,
May like the girl, he sees with you;
So take this, then as comfort sweet,
That she asks, the girl boils, comes sweet.

MONTICELLO, THE HOME
OF THOMAS JEFFERSON
The Mansion of the "Sage of Monticello," Thirty Years in the Building, Shows the Impress of French and Italian Art.
NOTE-The anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson will be celebrated with much ceremony at various places in the United States tomorrow, April 13. A movement to erect a public memorial to the author of the Declaration of Independence is now on foot in New York City. The Pultzer left in his will, for theearing of such a monument, $25,000 and a Thomas Jefferson Memorial Fund has been organized to give everybody in the United States a chance to pay tribute to the memory of the monument. The New York Southern Society recently gave a gift of $100.
Adapted from Francis N. Barksdale's article in Leslie's Weekly.
Monticello divides interest with Mount Vernon as the most historical homestead in Virginia. It is inseparably connected with the life of Thomas Jefferson, and his writings on philosophy, statemanship, history, political economy and the common affairs of life, accomplished in its classic shapes, have made him known as "Shakespeare's architecture of the building is unique. It is, first of all, Jeffersonian; but as the name of the estate is Italian, the builder preserved the harmonies in basing the form on Italian ideals.
The house was begun in Mr. Jefferson's youth and built in sections. Thirty years elapsed before its final completion, owing to the fact that the builder was his own architect and contractor, and the demands of his country required more of his time that he could devote to his private affairs. When it was finally completed, the influence of the architect lay on the builder's mind, and the interlocutions and furnishing reflected the taste of the Louis periods.
The summit of the "little mountain" was leveled to form a park of some ten acres, in the center of which the lines of the mansion were laid. It has four fronts, and it is difficult to determine which present the widest and most attractive view. In any direction there is outspread a superb view of a landscape that cannot be matched in its splendid setting of mountains and valley, highland and meadow, forest and stream. The prospect is an earth-scape limited only by the power of vision.
The birthplace of Mr. Jefferson, called "Shadwell," a few miles away, an estate of some four hundred acres, was originally purchased by his father for a "bowl of Arrack Punch." The mansion was burned just before Mr. Jefferson's marriage, and he carried his bride to the unfinished house at Monticello, where they arrived at nightfall, unannounced and unexpected. The larder was low, but a modest repast was found, and the future President
The central portion of the main building is a great, octagonal hall, open to the dome. From its tiled floors, grow, show, stairs lead away to the chambers above.
The latchstring of Monticello hung always outside and its hospitality was proverbial. The neighbors were ever free to call socially and for advice and encouragement. Farmer Jefferson was a scientific and progressive husband, father, teacher and other man of his time to uplift the agricultural interests of his State.
and his bride had a merry evening at setting up housekeeping, enlivened by music from the violin, of which he was a master.
In the foreground of the extensive view commanded by Monticello is the town of Charlottesville, and a mile to the northwest are the buildings of the University of Virginia. The University is three miles from Monticello as the crow flies. It is well known that Mr. Jefferson not only planned the buildings, but supervised their construction, and there is a tradition in the neighborhood that he kept a close watch on the work by a powerful field glass. When he detected something wrong, he mounted his horse and galloped off to the University to set it right.

THE PROGRESS OF A NEW SCIENCE
THE lightest practical aeroplane capable of carrying a man weighs, with operator and enough fuel for flights of reasonable duration, about 1000 pounds. Such aircraft are sustained—as are the birds in the sky—by highly effective dynamic reactions of the air streams flowing under their wings.
The volume of 1000 pounds of air is about 15,000 cubic feet—the approximate contents of a sphere 30 feet in diameter. By substituting for this volume of air something weighing less than 1000 pounds, the something weighing less will float statically in the air, just as anything weighing less than water, volume for volume, will float in water.
IT IS OF REAL USE
As a successful flying vehicle, the acrobase is a development of no more than a very few years. Yet consistently since its advent it has evolved faster than any other device in the history of transportation. Its genuinely utilitarian applications are already considerable. Its applications to warfare are even now a proved success.
The laws governing its action are exceedingly obscure. The limits of its efficiency are still unknown. Its best form is still undetermined. The difficulties of its equilibrium will still take much solving. And at every turn the aeroplane offers a field for investigation that seems as unlimited as it has proved fertile. While the aircraft are simple and cheap to build, their design is so baffling and involved, so demanding of the finest abilities of the best engineers, as to rank the problem of dynamic flight as one of the most difficult that modern science has to face—Popular Mechanics.
Yet the problem of the aeroplane is inherently complex.
TO BE OR NOT TO BE
I'd rather be a Could Be
If I could not be an Are,
For a Could Be is a May Be
With a chance of touching par.
I'd rather be a Has Been
than a Might Have Been, by far;
For a Might Have Been has never been
But a Was was once an Are.

In considering Lawrence as a location for business, look into its advantages in the matter of power.
Everybody knows what waterpower means to a town. Lawrence is a flourishing example of the benefits that flow from a big river hooked up to a big dam and a power plant.
If a river has feelings and is human enough to dislike work, the Kansas river has no friendly regard for J. D. Bowersock of Lawrence. It was Mr. Bowersock who put the Kaw on the job of turning out light and power for Lawrence and her industries. His is the only power plant on the river.

CHILDISH PRATTLE GOOD FOR CHILDREN

Dean Johnston Says Mature Language Is Abnormal and Mechanical
THE FLOWER SHOP 8251 MASS. STREET Phones 621
"This matter of using adult methods on a child tends to make him artificial. A child's life is spent in the accumulation of impressions and not in the practice of refined expressions," said Dean Johnston, of the University of Pennsylvania on statements made by the Rev. A. B. Berle, professor at Tufts College.
"One can teach a child five syllable words as soon as he can talk. Why," said the Rev. Berle, "should a child say 'Choo-Cho' when he acts just as well say 'Lo-co-mte-vey?'
The Reverend Bert maintains that children should be taught science skills.
ABNORMAL. SAYS DEAN JONSTON
"It is an abnormal method," said Dean Jonston, "it is instilling into the mind the methods of adult thinking. To restrain a child in speech has the same effect as to restrain him in muscles. Choo-Choo is no more natural than locomotive. Children repeat what they hear. It is a 'train' that the average child runs across the floor.
"Baby talk is an abnormal language due to lack of control of the vocal cords. There are 187 movements used while talking two minutes. The child uses them in a rough play to master them. The kids playing with the vocal cords just the same as he does with his toys.
"AIM FOR NATURALNESS"
Nine-tenth of the language of the college student is unnatural. If it is because the language training has become mechanical, a series of restrictions. The highest thing a student should do is self naturally; it is the finest thing a college education can put upon him."
"AIM FOR NATURALNESS"
"All natural language rises out of the emotions. Grammar, if taken too soon kills language. Preciseness means loss of naturalness and freedom of speech.

EMPORIA HAS REAL BASEBALL MACHINE
Collegians Will Make the Hopes Travel to Win
Tomorrow
To win from the Emporians in tomorrow's game the Hopes will have to travel a fast pace. The Emporians come here on top of a 4 to 3 decision over the fast St. Mary's bunch.
The team that will line up against Kansas to-morrow is practically the same one that held Kansas to a 7 to 5 score in last years fractures. All of the men are reported to be working at top speed and for twirler-in-chief the Emporians have, one, Frazier who is said to be something of a wizard in the pill hewing line. It is not known definitely whether he will be seen in action on McCook field as he was actively engaged in the St. Mary's game
The line up for Kansas will probably be the same as that played against Missouri. Walker will probably pitch. The varsity will be able to furnish a much faster brand of ball than that which was displayed for the benefit of the Missourians as the last few days in use in equipment building the field which was not as fast as it might have been. A good deal of time has also been spent in teaching the Jayhawkers to hit the dust when running bases.
BOWS AND ARROWS NOW
Woman's Athletic Association Will Do the Robin Hood
Stunt
Another sport threats to crowd into the lime-light of college activities. On account of the sudden interest in athletics displayed by the girls, of the University and the lack of accommodations for them, the Woman's Athletic Association has turned it's attention to the Robin Hood Game.
The Association has imported a couple of bows and, several cases of arrows and are now trying out their skill in the secrecy of the fields back of the gymnasium. If any amount of ammunition is planned to organize an archery chain which will take long tramps afteld armed with their deadly weapons.
It is also planned to stage an archery tournament the latter part of May for the benefit of those interested in the game. At the tournament the regular five foot targets will be used at distances of 50 to 100 feet.

ATHLETES SHOW'EM
French and Woodbury Will Start on Four Days' Trip Next Week
Athletic representatives of the University of Kansas will start out the first of next week on a four days trip through the state giving pointers to the different high schools visited on "How to break Records," Todd Woodbury and Will French have been chosen to give the first exhibitions and will leave Tuesday night for Halstead. They will be in Halstead, Wednesday,Sedgwick, Thursday, Mount Hope, Friday, and Winfield, Saturday.
It was at the request of several different high school principals of the state that the University took this action of sending its athletes out through the state. This is one of the direct results of the large interscholastic basket ball tournament that was held as the University a few weeks ago. At this time both French and Woodbury gave exhibitions of high jumping and pole vaulting and the visitors were so impressed with the form of the men that the requests followed. The men will spend most of their time on the two above mentioned sports, though some time will also be given to coachong in short dashes and hurdling.
Later in the season men will be sent to other schools to give a day's coaching along other lines of sport. The high school are paying the expenses of the athletes.
Rears. Retires.
Ernst Fletcher Brown, crack stroke oar of Cornell, has led two varsity crews to victories at Poughkeepsie, as well as two crew against Harvard, and on one Carnegie University last year, will never strike a Cornell again, according to information gained at the University infirmary today. Bowen has been confined in that institution for the past two weeks with minor ailments, but it was learned today that rheumatism has set in and his condition was serious. No fears are felt as to the outcome, but it will be some time before he is well again, and even then physicians say he will not be permitted to row. By that time, too, the other members of the crew will be so far ahead in development that he could not catch up.

The task of notifying all absent players was entrusted into the hands of a committee which will begin its work immediately. The basket ball election will be more or less a formality since Sam Carrier has already been chosen by a straw ballot. Ernest Frank, it is expected, will be selected to succeed Jerry Warner as football leader—Daily Nebraskan.
STILL WRANGLING IN THE BIG EIGHT
No One is Satisfied With Results of Recent Conference Meeting
That protests and further wrangling will follow the recommendations made by the "big eight" professors at Saturday's gathering at the Palmer House became a certainty yesterday when dissatisfaction over the proposed rules was expressed in various camps. Chicago and Wisconsin will oppose the attempt to bar their athletic directors as delegates and Minnesota is slated to make further efforts to lessen the severity of the amateur eligibility rules.
The maroon officials were indignant at the passing of the resolution which would drop Coach Stagg from the number of the representatives by ruling out all who receive pay for services connected with athletics, and the Wisconsin followers severely criticised the proposal as an affront to Director Ehler. The Chicago professors asserted that Wisconsin and Chicago might combine in a course of action to be determined later...
Dean A. W. Small characterized the blow at athletic directors as a mistake while admitting that the delegates had made progress in other directions. Dean Small favors the dual representation plan urged by all the "big eight" presidents at their meeting last month. The members of the maroon board of physical culture and athletics will vote on the recommendations this month, and there is no doubt that a protest will result.
STAGG WILLING TO RETIRE
The Midway officers recognize the fact that the presence of Coach Stagg and Director Ehler would continue to be criticized by some of the colleges, and they are not likely to try to retain the old grouping of conference delegates. Many of the maroon alumni believe that if the retirement of Coach Stagg was necessary, it should have been accomplished in a more graceful manner. It is known to Coach Stagg's friends that he would have retired voluntarily if he thought it wise or necessary. As the case stands, the director will have the backing of the faculty in whatever course he chooses to take.
While Professor Paige of Minnesota was pleased at the success of his resolution against the athletic directors, he was disappointed at the failure of Minnesota's proposal to introduce an eligibility test based on scholarship only. The gopher representative said nothing regarding a break with the conference, but asserted that Minnesota would not favor the old eligibility rules, which are now in force owing to the collapse of the summer baseball compromise and of Minnesota's scholarship plan.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 15, 1912.
VOLUME IX.
200 OF 'EM MET AGAIN WITH MIRTH AND SONG
And Melody Flewat the Alumni Banquet at the Baltimore Hotel
LONG DISTANCE SPEECH HIT
Regent Hopkins Talked From Topeka to Kansas City—Strong Spoke on "The University."
"Hello! Are you ready?"
"Yes."
"Mr. toastmaster, members of the University of Kansas Alumni Association of Kansas City."
Thus began Regent Scott Hopkins, as he sat in his library in Topeka, and talked to 200 alumni of the University of Kansas at their fifth annual banquet at the Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City, Saturday night.
This is the first time that this innovation has been tried at a University banquet in the West, but at a similar occasion in Chicago, a short time ago, the alumni of Yale listed to President Hadley talk from his home in New Haven. The necessary apparatus was installed free of charge by the Bell Telephone Co., and the Association moved a vote of thanks to the company and to Mr. Blake, who originated the idea.
Mr. Hopkins gave an outline of the work that has been accomplished at the University in recent years, and told of the various departments that have been added, and of their progress.
James M. Challis of Atchison took the place of R. B. Rrewiter who was to have spoken, but was unable to be present on account of the illness of his mother. Mr. Challis spoke on the advantage derived in the business world from having a large acquaintance of alumni from the University.
Dr. W. L. Burdick spoke on a few things those from the University should not forget. "The University is a place of inspiration," said Dr. Burdick, "and the great thing to be remembered, is that we had an opportunity to spend a few years in the University atmosphere. The one thing that makeslege men should feel criticizing toward their University, and regret what they took, or feel it was a waste of their time."
Hon, Chas. F. Scott of the lola Register, ex-congressman from the second district, and for ten years regent of the University, spoke on the subject of "At the Telegraph Editor's Desk." Mr. Scott gave a brief review of the important happenings throughout the world in the past few months.
Chancellor Frank Strong spoke on "The University." He told of the three things for which the University should stand. They were, first, teaching research, second, for research investigation, and third, for public service.
W. T. Grant, president of the Association acted as toastmaster, and with appropriate remarks, assisted by the witty comments and suggestions from others present, introduced the speakers.
Uncle Jimmy Green was not on the program but every one present insisted that he make a talk. He told them a few things about the Gillman Case, with which they were not acquainted.
The Glee club Quartette furnished the music for the occasion, singing selections between each of the six courses, and between the toasts. The alumni gave them a fine reception, and especially applauded the old favorite, "Johny Smoker."
The banquet was conceded by all to be the best and most enthusiastic ever given by the Association, and plans have already been started for the one next year.
Pennsy Meets Princeton on the Water Arrangements have been completed by the Pennsylvania rowing committee to meet the Princeton varsity eight sometime in May. This will be the first meeting of the two universities on the water since 1884.
Miss Edith Glasscock and Miss Mabel Faukner of Manhattan, are the guests of Elizabeth Wilson, a senior in the College.

Dr. Hyde, of Department of Physiology Addressed Women's Clubs
ADVISES RIGHT LIVING
"To the three 'R's, 'readin', and 'ritin' and 'rithmic', has been added a fourth—right living," said Dr. Ida H. Hyde, of the physiology department, in a lecture before the City Federation of Women's Clubs, Thursday afternoon. "If we are hoping to reform mankind, we must begin with the children who are still plastic."
Dr. Hryde, who is a deputy of the State Board of Health, spoke of the need of school medical inspection and school nurses.
"A change in educational methods is needed," said Dr. Hyde. "More playgrounds and better schools. The rearing of healthy, happy children should be the most important duty of a community, and yet every other crop is better taken care of."
Dr. Hrye advocated a division of the pupils, instead of trying to force the weaker ones to keep up to the standard set by the stronger ones.

Calves, Dress-suits, Barber poles and Arctic Explorers MingledIndiscriminately
WILL BE ON SALE FRIDAY
Contributors Make The Coming Number Interesting, Laughable And Exciting— Contains Pictures
Jack Williams, forty barber poles numerous calves of perverse nature, a dress suit, size 110, and a rooster that "it fit like he had th' roomizt" appear before the readers of the April Oread Magazine which comes off the press next Friday. Jack has nothing whatever to do with the barber poles, or the calves either. He merely contributes a story about the Klondike—the land where he spent his tenderer years.
The barber poles originally decorated Massachusetts street, as decorous, well-ordered barber poles should do; but in Henry Maloy's picture story, "But We Didn't Come For Knowledge," they desert their holes, under pressure, and ascend the hill to adorn the chanceller's office, and other places of interest. Although the poles caused much consternation, the dress suit, size 110, in "The Unsued Sutor" was even more troublesome, and almost started a riot in one of the local fraternity houses. Earl Potter, who creates the immense garb, has Freshie Green outfit an upper classman with it, and the upper classman has to "hang green lights on the back to tell which way he is going" when he tries to wear it to the junior prom.
OBERHOFFER AND HIS ORCHESTRA THIS WEEK
Guy Von Shiltz, who knows the western range, tells a story of calves and a fearful snow storm; and C. G. Farnsworth, also conversant with calves, introduces a small collection of youthful bovines which butt each other in the ribs at intervals, and cause bloat in them. He then believes a thought once each hour, unwittingly to pull off a great coup d'état on the farmers.

In a wonderful rooster fight Snipe Tedder's chicken, down all the other fowls, and just because Snipe gets stuck up over it, the "gang" won't let him into the "cirkus"; but when the stage bucks down right in the middle of a stunt, Snipe has laughed to the "gang" after all. Asher Hobson relates these happenings in "Loaded Spurs." Helen Hoopes, Gale Gosset and Willard Wattles also contribute to the April Oread.
EIGHT SOLO ARTISTS; TOO
"It was an escaping convict! An are light from the prison yard fell full upon him, as he peered at me from around the head of the bed. Well, that's the first time I was ever really scared. My brother has helped me desperate face. He spring to my side and flashed his little light again, almost in my face. My heart was beating so loud I thought it would wake up all the other fellows.
HUMAN WOLVES UNCHAINED TERRIFY THE SOCIOLOGISTS
I couldn't even breathe, I was so scared. I made a noise like a chicken does when he has a grain of corn caught in his mouth, kept wondering where he would hit me.
To Play Dean Skilton's Symphony,
"A Carolina Legend," Adapted
From Old Moravian Tale
The ninth annual music festival of the University of Kansas will be held in Robinson Gymnasium April 18-19, Thursday and Friday. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra of fifty players under the direction of Emil Oberhoffer will be the feature of the festival, and eight famous solo artists have been secured.
"But, apparently satisfied that I was
"The festivals have become the leading feature of the musical life of the community and have attracted many visitors from outside. Financially, they are guaranteed by the Lawrence Merchants' Association, members of the University faculty and citizens of Lawrence."
"The musical festival was established in 1904," says the announcement on the program. "Its aim has been to provide music of the highest quality and broadest scope for the students of the University and the city of Lawrence. This aim has been abundantly fulfilled.
"Each year an orchestra of national reputation has been created with a quartet of noted singers, a chorus of over one hundred voices has been organized and trained to perform several of the great choral masterpieces, while local artists and the musical organizations of the University have lent their assistance.
One of the interesting numbers that will be given at the music festival this year will be the symphonic poem entitled "A Carolina Legend" which was composed by Dean Skilton, of the School of Fine Arts, and which will be conducted by him.
MORAVIAN CUSTOMS ILLUSTRATED
The symphony is a composition based on a legend in North Carolina where there is a Moravian community in which mediaeval customs are still preserved. The people are divided into choirs according to their conditions, such as married people, widows, children, etc. Each choir has its appropriate hymn played on
"My first thought was that it was a guard seeing if we were all right. But the stripes! I was vividly awake in an instant. It flashed through my vision, and I watched the evening before that only a few of the most desperate criminals were in stripes.
How would you feel, if you were visiting a prison and an escaping convict should come into your room? This was the experience of the boys in the Sociology class which returned from the State Penitentiary at Lansing last night. The account of one of the boys who was first to notice the convict, follows:
"Eight of us, including Professor Holleberg, were sleeping in a room inside the main building. I was somewhat nervous and was still awake. A few minutes past midnight a light was suddenly flashed in my face. I opened my eyes and stared straight up at a white faced figure in stripes, standing in the barred window at the head of my bed.
sleeping, he crept on, unfasted the door and admitted a confederate, who went to work softly with a file. This was what he fellows, and one raised in bed.
"Get back there!" hissed the convict, darting at him. I heard Charlie's neck snap, his head struck the pillow so quick.
"Lie down there!" snapped through the room like a shot, "We want out! The first fellow who makes a noise gets nailed. We're desperate. Get your head back!' to some fellow who had peered up from a pillow.
"But the professor was also aroused now, and sat up in bed, demanding, 'Mother, please.'"
"Tak about steady nerves then. Eight of us, wide awake, lay there peacefully and serenely for ten minutes, apparently sleeping the sleep of the just. I had to keep my own teeth from latching to prevent the bed from rattling on itself; anything but those three men who had just been killed in the Nebraska prison.
"Our guide of the evening before stepped out into the room and announced, 'Gentlemen, allow me to the warden's son, Mr. Coddin Jr.'
"Well, finally a third striped figure crept in, and a whispered consultation was held. Then, after a few more moments of heavy filing, all the buttons suddenly turned on, and by one we cautiously opened our eyes.

Mr. Coddling, Jr. raised up from the steam radiator over which he had been rasping his pocket comb, and bowed, he said, 'the Comedy of Errors.'

festival days by a brass band from the steeple of the church. Another custom is to march to a cemetery and hold a sunrise service led by two bands.
The legend is that while children were playing in a meadow near a forest one girl wandered into the woods and fell asleep. A storm arose and she heard a panther roaring in the distance but she thought it was the cry of a child. Her father later rescued her. The people believed that an angel was sent and saved her from destruction.
COMPOSITION FOLLOWS ACTION
In the composition there are five divisions. The first treating of the choirs and the alternating of the wood and brass instruments is heard in the melody. The second division is the fugue suggesting the children at play. The third is a slumber song. The fourth represents the storm scene and the cry of the panther. The last is a march rising out of the melody of the fugue, the children's hymn being heard in the distance.
SOPHOMORE FARCE IN FACT OR FICTION?
Class Objects to Plan of Com mittee to Draw on Student Body
Will the sophomores present a force at their annual Hopp May 3, or will the sophomores assisted by members of the other classes entertain the members of the second year class at their dance? These questions are being discussed by the sophomores and many of the other students.
When Arvid Frank, manager of the Hopp, announced that the tryout for the farce would be thrown open to the student body of all the classes, he went against all precedent and customs for such functions, which in the past have been strictly class controlled. We cannot not believe that there was enough material in the sophomore class to present the play.
"The first that I knew of the proposed plan to admit all students to the Hopp was when I read of it in the Daily Kansan," Ryo Paulem, president of the class said this afternoon. "I have received many complaints from sophomores concerning the arbitrary action and I shall talk it over with Frank today and see what can be done."
JUNIOR PROM WAS BRILLIANT AFFAIR
A number of the sophomores plan to circulate a petition against admitting other students among the members of the class unless the committee decides to restrict the farce to second year students. It is probable that President Yoeman will call a meeting of the class tomorrow to take a vote on the question.
Lucile Barrett of Hoisington and Elizabeth Yeater of Osawatomie, both graduates of the department of expression, visited friends in Lawrence over Sunday.
Pi Beta Pi will hold initiation Wednesday afternoon for Mildred Hickman. A dinner will be given by the active members of the sorority a week from tonight in honor of Elizabeth Stephens, '09, and Bertha Luckan, '09.
Miss Bessie Vance and Miss Ethel Lord '11 of Kansas City, visited the Chi Omega house over Sunday.
Three Hundred and Fifty Couples Laughed and Ate and Danced
"BEAUTY MACHINE" THE FARCE
Annual Affair Was Well Managed—Hall's Music Made The Professors Even, Shake Their Feet.
The annual promendra given by the junior class for the seniors was given in Robinson Gymnasium last Friday evening and was attended by three hundred and fifty couples. In accordance with the custom inaugurated last year, the From six o'clock and was started by the fares given by the members of the Junior class.
"The Beauty Machine" was the farce offered this year and was a burlesque on musical comedy. Henry Campion, chairman of the farce committee, is the author of the production and he succeeded in composing at least two songs that are of the hummy variety.
The plot and the lines of "The Beauty Machine" are really astounding and were quite in keeping with the farecal she intended.
Following is the cast:
Queen Serenea Virginia Elward
Dowager Mira Lue
Jesterina Constance McCammon
Blue Bell Sylvia Abrams
Carnation Bernice Benson
Snickers Margaret Roberts
General Ruffles Mabel Nowlin

The following composed the chorus:
Charles Dolde, Floyd Fisher, Eugene Davis, Paul Surber, Clement Clark,
Edwin Irwal, Ray Ailian, Frane
Richard Foster, Ruth Rutten,
Georgia Cotter, Beatrice Dalton, Mildred Pettit, Ira Pratt
Immediately following the farce the guests were ushered up stairs to the main floor which had been converted into a summer, green bowered pavilion. On the receiving line were Will Price, the director and secretary, Ashbun Holson, Hoffman and his brother Burrough. The grand march was led by Will Price and Bess Boell.
the decorations for the evening were in the tints of spring and the platform for the musicians was decorated in stone. Several feature dances were given.
Refreshments were served in the room below at quartette tables. Hall's nine piece orchestra of Topeka furnished the music for the twenty-four dances. Bruce Hurd and Elmer Whitney, were the managers of the Prom.
BETAS TO BUY HOUSE
Have Option on Home of Member Abraham Lincoln's Cabinet
The Beta Theta Pi fraternity has secured an option on the Usher property 1425 Tennessee with the intention of buying it and converting it into a chapter house. The house now is occupied by the sons of Judge Usher, who was a member of Lincoln's cabinet.
The Ushers residence is a few doors from the present Beta house on Tennessee. It is understood that the property is valued at $15,000.
HARVARD TO HAVE
FRESHMAN DORMITORIES
That his great ambition, the democratization of Harvard, may be realized, President Lowell of that school has appointed a committee which will raise funds to provide a complete system of Freshman dormitories. Pledges have already been made to the amount of $1,200,000 but the college will need $1,800,000 will be needed. Dr. Lowell thinks the dormitories will insure a wide miring of students during their early college years.
The site for the building has already been purchased and plans have been drawn.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright.
WHY NOT?
One thing that was noticeable at the last three baseball games that the University team has played—notifiable for its absence—was the sound of the University yell. Good crowds have attended all of the games, the rooters have been on the spot, but either none have had the gumption to start a yell, or their cheer leader has failed in his office. Doesn't the student body think it would be just as profitable to cheer their diamond athletes as the men of the gridiron? Certainly football days are not the only times that McCook field should hear the rising, swelling sound of "Rock Chalk."
For the first time in recent years, the students will be able to compare all the track athletes of the University classes with the quality of work that is being done by the men yet in high school. On April 27, the day of the annual inter-class meet, the teams of Central high school of Kansas City and Lawrence high school will meet. Their events will be run alternating with those of the interclass meet. And these high school boys can promise University critics of track talent some good races too.
A COLLEGE DAY
Although the nucleus of the University of Kansas was formed in the College and the other schools and departments were built up around that as a center, the College will be the last department in which the students will form an organization among themselves to forward college spirit and make a union that will be able to accomplish something for the University.
Many are the arguments urged against such a union on the part of the collegians when such an organization is suggested, but nevertheless it has been shown that such an organization is possible. At the University of Colorado the men students in the College banded together to form a union comparable to that of the Schools of Engineering and Law here.
Every class of students at the University is represented in the College; no other school has more diversity of talent and the possibilities to make such an organization a success. Every other department in the University has a day that is set apart and is distinctively their own. The Engineers have their day on which the students are brought into closer contact and to which they look forward and plan for from year to year. The Law students have their "Scrimmage" and "Uncle Jimmy Day" which they cherish more than anything else in their University life.
The College alone has no distinctive function which it can call its own. With a student body having a great diversity of purposes, scattered in many different buildings and composed of nearly an equal number of men and women, organization is difficult at first, but once
established it would be possible to maintain it.
There is an opportunity for someone to start a union in the center, the heart, of the University and do something really worth while.
What do some of the collegians think about this?
THE MOTHER WHO GETS NO
LETTER
Thousands of sons and daughters there are who are away from home living their own lives. Some are earning their own living; some are married; all are busy with their own concerns. And, unconsciously, they have forgotten their mothers. At least their mothers think so, and how can they think otherwise? For their children do not write. The mother looks every day for a letter, but the postman's hand or the post-box in the country store is full of other things. The mother says nothing, for silence is the badge of the suffering mother; but she unconsciously thinks over twenty years or more of care and pain and self-sacrifice, when there were nights without sleep, and weeks of nursing, when social pleasures had to be put aside for the children's sake, and a hundred economies had to be practiced that the children might be clothed and educated, when her noble life was devoted to the children. And the silence is pretty hard to bear.
Of course the mother makes allowance—a mother always does. "The children forget" she says. "Their lives are full and mine is empty." And she thinks to herself that some day her children, when they have children who have left home, will understand. Mothers are so patient!
All the same a letter is so small a thing. True, that is why it does not get written. But it gives such pleasure and heart satisfaction to a mother. And the mother-heart do rejoice so when she feels that though her children are far away from her, and no longer need her—they show they think of her the only way they can. Put yourself in her place, son or daughter, far away from the old home; think of how little comes into that home, and then fancy how big an event would be a weekly letter from Mary or John in the city! It is so worth doing—this writing to mother while she is still letters can go to her! It won't always be so, you know. So many are there who would give their all just to be able to write a letter to mother. You can—yet. Ladie's Home Journal.

WANTS MORE ORCHESTRA
To the Daily Kansan:
The programs of the concerts to be given during the music festival this week, as announced in your paper, are a distinct disappointment to a large number of the patrons. Whoever made up the programs seems to have shown poor judgment. In the first place, it seems unfortunate that so splendid an organization as the Milpitas Symphony orchestra should have such a limited participation in the programs. The time allotted to local talent might be advantageously be devoted to the orchestra, brought to Lawrence from such a great distance and at such an expense. The people of Lawrence would like to hear at least one program given entirely by the Symphony orchestra.
The music festival is such a rare opportunity to hear something that cannot be heard in Lawrence during the rest of the year, that the patrons naturally wish to make the most of it. This is not to disparge the local talent announced on the programs. Lawrence rates them very high, but it is fortunate in having many other opportunities to hear them throughout the year. Let the music festival programs be given up entirely to the symphony orchestra and the artists coming with it. — A GUARANTOR.

They spring from the pen of genius under the stress of excitement and they possess, in a strange, inexplicable way, the power of imparting that excitement to multitudes long years after the author has passed away.

DO ATHLETICS
AFFECT ENROLLMENT?
Results of Football Games Between Harvard and Yale Correspond Exactly to Fluctuations in Attendance
THE HARVARD Advocate in a recent number gave proof that it pays even for colleges like Harvard and Yale to advertise, and that success on the football field has a great bearing on the number of students who enroll in the university the year following.
When Harvard wins from Yale at football Harvard's enrollment of students in the entering class the following year jumps above the previous year, and when Yale wins there is a jump in the figures. When the score of the classical football game is to the figures are normal.
"The next year it climbed to 237,
but a 12 to 0 victory for Yale went
the enrollment down to 210 the following
September. Then came the 4 to 0 score that Harvard made against
Yale in 1908, and in 1909 the registration went up again, this time
from 210 to 240. The 1909 game was
a defeat, and again the figures came
down—to 217 this time.
The Advocate says;
"A study of the registration figures at Harvard shows that in the year following a Yale football victory there has always been an increase in the enrollment of freshmen from the public schools. The same variability is not apparent in the registration from private schools. Most boys who go to prizefights are held by their collars. But in the public school, where there is no traditional preference for one college, the choice is often made during the school course, or maybe at the end of it.
An athletic victory may or may not be the determining influence. At least there is a curious relation between the varieties and the increases in registration.
“Beginning with the year 1901, which followed a severe defeat at the hands of Yale, one finds 230 freshmen entering from the public schools. Harvard won the 1902 game, and the registration jumped from 230 to 293, a gain of twenty-seven per cent. Yale won the next game, and in 1903 the public schools sent only 247 freshmen. Continued defeats by Yale are followed by continual depressions in the registration—235 in 1904 and 205 in 1905. This 1905 registration was the lowest reached, and it is significant that in the preceding season rookie Yale was awarded a high salary. Yale had severely defeated Harvard. The following year Harvard failed of a victory, but held Yale and Pennsylvania to a low score, and in 1906 a slight increase in registration was made, an increase from 205 to 212.
"The relation of football success to increases in the enrollment and of football failure to decreases in the enrollment are apparent in the records. Athletes have become the most important graduate life. It is reasonable to believe that successful athletics are good advertising."—The Herald.

The records of fifteen of the twenty-six classes graduated from 1884 to 1909 show the nine most popular occupations as follows—Business, 1,519; law, 674; engineering, 380; medicine, 288; ministry, 281; teaching, 260; government service, 120; journalism, 97; farming and ranching, 86.
The earlier classes sent more men to law than to business. In 1909 only seven men entered the ministry; twenty years earlier, when the classes were much smaller, two or three times that number went to the theological seminaries. In recent years the number of men going into engineering has increased greatly, forty-five men taking it up in 1909. One-third of the graduates engaged in business are in banking.
Statistics showing the occupations followed by Princeton graduates have been compiled by authorities of the university in view of recent agitation regarding the overcrowding of the professions. These statistics show a reduction in the number of jobs which leaves the other professions far in the rear.
The Cardinal is the name of the new daily at the University of Southern California. The institution has supported heretorefo only a weekly magazine, "The University Courier," but owing to its recent rapid growth the change has been made necessary.
Michigan will celebrate its seventy-fifth anniversary in June. The celebration is to be known as the diamond jubilee.

DRINK COFFEE FREELY THERE'S A REASON!
Columbia Students in Tests Prove Caffeine Good and Wholesome
"One or two cups of coffee a day are substantially a help in the day's work," according to experiments carried out by the department of psychology at the University of Columbia.
The tests were conducted with 14 college students as subjects. These were divided into the caffeine square and the control squad. The caffeine square received the drug in solution or in capsules and in amounts varying from one to six grains a day. The control squad received a non-stimulating capsule containing sugar of milk or soda fountain syrups similar in taste and appearance to the caffeine solution. The student was kept in ignorance as to whether or not he was given caffeine. On certain days the caffeine squad received control doses or no dose.
The experiments proved that the caffeine taken moderately increases the capacity for mental and physical labor, and, contrary to the general belief, there were felt no after effects of depression and lassitude. In the mental tests, as the calculation test, the following morning showed improvement over the work of the previous day.
The drug when taken in the afternoon and not accompanied by food in most cases exerted an injurious effect in causing insomnia and disturbed sleep.
DENOUNCE "FUSSERS"
If You Would be High Man in Business, Look to Your Class Standing
New York City, March 29-De-nouncing the easy attitude which permits the college student of today to regard the ability to "just pass" an examination as a "gentleman's speed" and any higher grade as a waste of energy which might be better employed in junior "proms" or college athletics or "fussing" or in any of the regular college sports in the curriculum, Prof. William T. Foster, president of Reed College, of Portland, Ore., told the students of New York University yesterday that the college was the high man in business.
"In the class of 1904 at Harvard," said Dr. Foster, "I tried to find out who were the successful men of that class, judged by the records after graduation. I had Dr. Lowell, the president, and two other men select the alumni whom they considered the most successful. They agreed independent upon twenty-four members of the class. I then chose twenty four alumni whom they selected at Harvard. It turned out that the successful men had attained four times as high marks when in college as those selected at random."
Does a College Education Pay?
Dr. Foster said that he had found this to be true in a large number of colleges and remarked that a student who aspired to nothing higher than "the gentleman's grade" in college would achieve only medicinity later
Does a College Education Pay?
Dartmouth College, in an endeavor to ascertain whether or not a collegiate education pays, has made a canvass of its class of 1900. Confidential reports have been received from 76. The men have been out of college ten years, which means fourteen years out of high school. They have had time to settle down. Of the 76, one is earning $708, one $12,000 a year. Eight are working for $1,200, five for $1,500, nine for $1,800, six for $2,000, two for $2,400, four for $2,500, six for $3,000, four for $3,500 and twelve are earning between $4,000 and $7,500 a year. The average for the 76 t is $2,620.

LID PUT ON EMPORIA BY JAYHAWKER NINE
Presbyterians Knuckle Under Kansas Verdict by a Score of 8 to 0
C. OF E. REGULAR PITCHER OUT
Norris Unable to Play; Team Changes Disastrous to Emporia Lads.
In what might be termed a one ringed circus, the Jayhawkers romped away from the College of Emporia Saturday afternoon by a score of 8 to 0. Though the game clearly belonged to Sherwin's men from the start, neither nine played what could be called real classy college baseball and those fans, who had expected to see a fast, close game, were disappointed.
The Presbyterianers went on the diamond crippled by the loss of their pitcher, Norris who is quarantined in his home town with small pox. This necessitated pitching Granger and playing Schabinger on the first sack instead of his regular place at third. The change was not good for the Emporians and their effort to play with consistent team work rather than an individual hit. Kansas pellet smasher played a better game than ever before this season. Walker was on the job when it came to shooting the ball over the plate. He had plenty of smoke behind each pitched ball and allowed the College men to swipe only four hits during the entire time of play.
SCORED IN THE FIRST INNING
The Jayhawk aggregation was not greedy about the way in which they gathered in their scores. They opened the first inning with a run, but took things easy from that time on scoring once in the third and once in the sixth, until the seventh inning when four men made the round of the sacks. It was in this inning that Shorty Ogden stepped into the lime light by slugging the horse hide over the third base man's head to the left field fence and never stopped running until he had crossed the home plate. The three bagger in the sixth and Wilson's in the third, helped liven the otherwise laggard spirits of the bleacher assemblage.
The score was as follows:
The Emporia nine came very near slipping one over the Kansas team in the seventh stage of the game, when Schabinger connected with one of Walker's deliveries and lifted the pellet into deep center for three bags. The next man up, however, was an easy out and Schabinger died suddenly, thrilled with the man who snapped up the grounders at short stop for the Presbyterians, was the most formidable opponent of the Javahawks

COLLEGE MEN MAKE GOOD IN BASE BALL
Connie Mack Tells Why H Favors Graduates as Professionals
In a recent article in the Saturday Evening Post by Connie Mack on "How to Make a Winning Ball Team" the college man is chosen to make the best professional ball player. The excerpt from Mr. Mack's article follows:
In learning how to handle men a manager in the Western League [soon settled on one point—namely, that the first thing was to get the right men to handle; men who would subject themselves to discipline. That's why I came to look with favor on the college ballplayer, and the collegian has had a prominent place in my baseball album ever since. We had, on the Milwaukee team, Fultz, of Brown University; Sparks, of Alabama; and Husting, of the University of Wisconsin. Some of our older players dissipated to a certain extent, but here were three youngsters who had no vices of any kind. They were always in condition to play their bets ball, whereas others who sometimes dissipated after the game were not invariably fit to give their best service to the club. These college men opened my eyes to the assistance which the collegian could render to a professional ball队. They could set an example to the players coming from the independent and minor leagues. This they have done, according to my own experience.
The college player, in my judgment, has done a great deal to raise the moral standards of the national pastime and to make the game what it is today; but in paying this merited tribute I must say that at the present time the collegian takes no better care of himself than do the players we get from the different clubs throughout the country—for it seems to be now quite generally recognized that a major league, with a career on the diamond before him and sure money in his pocket, must
cut out all bad habits. Here is the place to emphasize one plank in my baseball platform adopted in 1900—he stands on the college boys as possible on the squab.
Though every rule is supposed to have its exception, I don't believe a rule enforcing discipline permits of an exception. However, I made such an exception; and I'd better acknowledge it before some critic gets after me with his fountain pen. Speaking frankly, I ran the risk of injuring the discipline of my team by carrying a player who frequently broke my rules; worse still, he would leave the club without permission—but again I took him back restoring him to his usual role. To make the confession finaction and complete I did this because he was a grat pitcher who could win games, and for the further reason that, because of his eccentricities he was a notable drawing card both at home and throughout the league circuit.

A SCORING SYSTEM NEEDED
To Make The Sport Popular With Collegians They Must Know who Has The Advantage.
"College wrestling will never be a success until the game is modified to suit the College audience," said Dr. Naislmith in speaking of the apparent lack of interest displayed by the schools of the Missouri Valley during the last season.
"Wrestling as it is now staged is too slow and tedious for the average college audience. What the average college man wants is action and spectacular play. In addition to that he wants to see the score so he can tell just how his favorite is coming out.
"There are now but two alternatives either to stage finish matches which often result in simply a test of endurance or to stage time bouts at the end of which if a fall is not made the referee awards a decision. This last system is the one generally used in amateur contests at present. The objection to this is that the bout is left entirely in the hands of the referee who even though he decides correctly can not please the audience who do not see just why and where one man secures the decision over the other."
"To make wrestling a success in College sports some form of scoring must be developed which will enable the audience to tell what man is ahead at every minute and will at the same time limit the referee's authority. A good system would be to award a part of the man who could force any part of his moments body to the mat. For instance he may hip him secure one point, two points for throwing him on his stomach, etc. In this way the game will be more spectacular and their will be less of the tiresome beefing and stalling. Of course the matches will go for a limited period at the end of which if no fall has been staged the man with the highest score will be declared the winner.
"In addition to this the game will have to be revised so as to do await with the so-called torture-hold which force a man to give up on account of the pain he is receiving at the hands of his opponent.
"If some system is worked out on this line the game will be popular among the Collegians. It would be more spectacular on account of the less brute strength, and more agresteaching ability, and more above all a chance for a spectator to see by the scoring system just what each man was accomplishing.
OREAD TEAM PLAYS
IN TOPEKA SATURDAY
Local Golfers Will Meet Country Club in First Match of Year
AMERICAN PROFESSORS GET
PRIVILEGES AT COURT
of Year
The Oread Golf Club will probably send a team to Topeka next Saturday, April 20, to play a match with the team of the Topeka Country club. Prof. M. W. Sterling, captain of the Oread team, has received a letter from the Topeka officials, and unless something unforeseen prevents, the match will be arranged for next Saturday. This will occur during the regular season, and it is expected that ten or twelve of the local golfers will go to Topeka.
On the Oread course Saturday considerable interest was shown in the one-club tournament. Sixteen players entered the tournament, although all did not complete the 18 holes of play. There was a high wind but otherwise the playing conditions were excellent.
The complete net scores, as turned in to the tournament committee, were as follows: Patterson, 97; Sterling, A., 98; Sterling, M. W., 99; Crawford, 99; Johnston, C. H., 102; Briggs, 105; Sterling, 97; Allen, 125. The best net score for a single nine holes was made by Dr. H. T. Jones, who had the low score of 42. His opponent, J. G. Gibb, had a net score of 57 for the single round.
The court status of the American Exchange professors, a source of not a little heartburning in German educational circles, where professors and their wives are not entitled to invitations to court and a cause of repeated embarrassment to the American embassy in Berlin, has
been authoritatively settled by the marshal of the imperial court. The American professors will henceforth be classed with the limited elect of the German learned and artistic world, namely, the rectors of the German universities, the president and the director of the Royal Academy of Arts and the heads of the several departments of the Royal Academy of Sciences, who are entitled to go to court.

If a river has feelings and is human enough to dislike work, the Kansas river has no friendly regard for J. D. Bowersock of Lawrence. It was Mr. Bowersock who put the Kaw on the job of turning out light and power for Lawrence and her industries. His is the only power plant on the river.
Everybody knows what waterpower means to a town. Lawrence is a flourishing example of the benefits that flow from a big river hooked up to a big dam and a power plant.

WILL SOPHOMORES VOTE TO GIVE OWN FARCE? SOLVES PROBLEMS FOR KANSAS TOWNS
President Yeoman Calls Meeting for Discussion of Vital Question
DECIDE IN CHAPEL AT 12:15
Attempts to Alter Class Tradition
Met With General Disapproval
—May Change Cast Yet.
All members of the sophomore class are requested to be present at an important meeting in the chapel tomorrow at 12:15 o'clock.
Ralph Yeoman, President.
This announcement was handed to the Daily Kansan this afternoon at 2 o'clock by Ralph Yeoman. The president of the sophomores has been besieged by members of the class for the past two days in regard to the proposed action of the farce committee to admit students of all classes to parts in the farce.
"I want every sophomore who can possibly attend this meeting to do so," President Yeoman said. "The question before them is an important one and every member of the class should be and I believe is interested in it."
WILL WRANGLE IN OPEN MEETING
WILL WRANGLY IN OPEN MEETING At this mass meeting, the discussion will be thrown open to all sophomores and the opinions of all classmen will be placed on a par. Claude Sowers, one of the members of the farce committee will represent the management and explain the grounds upon which the committee decided to allow all students to try out for parts.
"I personally, would do anything in my power to restrict the cast to sophomores," Sowers said this morning. "The question as to whether there is material in the class to handle the music remains unsolved. If the sophomores are really interested in their Hopp and their farce, they should show it by coming to this meeting. I will explain the proposition, and when the sophomores are all together, probably will find good material which did not tryout the other night."
ENGINEERS OUT IN FORCE
"There is one good result of the controversy, and that is that the sophomores are now awake and the Hopp can help being a great success," Charles Tholen, a sophomore in the Engineering school said this morning. "The attempt to break down the custom set by the other classes in restricting the cast to members of the class is a great mistake and the sophomore engineers will be out in force for a square deal."
Arvid Frank, the manager of the Hopp, who wrote the music for the farce is anxious for the matter to be dealt so that work can start on the play.
"If the sophomores intend to express their sentiment on opening the cast of the farce to the students of the other classes, we would like to have them do it immediately so that work can start in preparation of the farce," Frank said.
"The cast has been picked and two weeks and a half is not any too much time to give a director to whip a play into shape. The first announcement of the tryout was made two weeks ago tonight and this seems to be a little late in the day to start any agitation to change the plans which have been laid. However I want it understood that the decision rests with the committee and not with me.
"The farce this year is representative of the class in that it is entirely original with the sophomores and is to be directed by a sophomore, which is unprecedented."
THETAS ENTERTAIN FOR
THEIR DISTRICT PRESIDENT
Miss Mildred Post, dist president of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority will visit the Kansas chapter over the coming week end.
The Theetas have issued invitations for receptions from 3 till 6 and from 8 till 10 Saturday in honor of Miss Post.
Extension Department of University Gives Civic and Social Advice
HIGH SCHOOLS GET SLIDES
Several Are on Waiting List For Different Sets—Department Busy Preparing Others.
The work of the Bureau of Civic and Social Center Development of the University Extension Division is coming into demand in all parts of the state. This Bureau was organized to help towns and cities throughout the states who desired information on any of the social and social problems which are constantly coming up for discussion.
A letter was received recently by the Bureau from a small town in Barton county asking for material on the wider use of the public school building as a civic center in the community.
The minister, who sent in the request, says: "We are opening a new school building here and wish to organize the community for social betterment." Another letter comes from a town near Topeka, and the writer desires information concerning the organization of a debating club in connection with a grange, and also desiring subjects for debate. The Bureau sent the desired information to each correspondent and put them on the mailing list which the Bureau maintains.
The slides which the Bureau is sending to high schools are becoming so popular that several towns are always on the waiting list for each set of the slides. A few of the sets in use at the present time are, "Rome, the Cross-roads of an Emperor," "Caesar's Helviet Campaign," and a set on the physical geography of the continent.
Other sets are being prepared at the University and will be placed in use as soon as completed. These include, "The Insect Pests of Kansas" and sets on English history, botany, Wilhelm Tell, and other subjects.
PROVES KAW CANNOT POLLUTE CITY WELL
Prof. C. C. Young Tests River Water But Discovers No Seepage.
By chemical analysis, Prof. C. C. Young, state water analyst, is proving that the Lawrence city wells are not affected by the river water. Professor Young believes that the wells are fed by ground water and not from the river.
By a comparison of the rise and fall of the amount of mineral matter in the river water with the amount of mineral matter in the well, the difference is shown that the wells do not secure their supply from the river.
As the mineral matter in the river varies, the same variation should be shown by the city supply, after a sufficient time has been allowed, if the water seepes through the sand and clay layers of the soil that have been carried for three months and tend to prove that Professor Young's supposition is correct.
A tri-weekly analysis is being made of the river water and the city supply. These analyses will be carried out on a regular basis under conditions of the river or weather.
By the same method of analysis Professor Young, calculated accurately the amount of river water used last summer during the drought.

Hard Work F. True.
Points to Successful Staging—
Has Cast of Nine
The Masque club will present its eleventh play tonight and tomorrow night at the Bowersock theater. "The Lottery Man," a ripping comedy, in three acts will be the offering. The cast for the play has worked hard for the past three weeks preparing the production and at the dress rehearsal last night the play went off with a snap.
The plot of the play hinges on the irresponsible scheme of an irresponsible newspaper reporter who conceived the idea of selling himself to "the Women of America for a dollar a chance." This newspaper reporter, who is no other than "Bunny" Wilson, of course has a heart and the troubles in his cardiac center starts the trouble. The girl in the case has no chance in the world to win the luckless reporter for she is too proud to buy a lottery coupon. Instead, Lizzie, an old maid, gets a ticket and wins Jack. However it is discovered that she obtained the coupon by false means and the trouble untangles favorably for all.
The seat sale for the play is now going at Woodwards' drug store. The cast is as follows:

DISCUSSES BIOLOGY RESEARCH STATIONS
Professor Baumgartner Talks in Chapel About Woodshole and Puget Sound
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, in chapel this morning, spoke briefly on the Biological Stations of the world, outlining their history and discussing in the United States with which the Department of Biology at the University is affiliated.
"In the first decade after the publication of the 'Origin of Species' by Darwin, interest in all kinds of biological study was greatly stimulated. Anton Dohn, an enthusiastic German zoologist, built the first station at Naples, Italy, in 1873. It has grown until it is now a museum. It is the most prominent station in the world and the only one of truly international importance."
Professor Baumgartner believes that the station at Puget Sound has the greatest future of any American station on account of the extensive fauna and flora there, and because of the excellent facilities for study and research. He also helps support this station, as well as the one at Woolshood, Massachusetts.
HIGH SCHOOLS TALK ON SUFFRAGE MAY 3
"Such stations as these are absolutely necessary for the proper study of biology because Universities are not located where it is possible to meet animal and plant life 'face to face'; and this first hand study is the best sort."
Vacation Abroad for the Cop "Jim" Donnelly, Yale's campus "cop" will attend the Olympic games in July as the guest of the senior academic class.
Ashland and Burlington Will Debate Here for State Championship
FORTY TEAMS COMPETED
Girls Will Argue For The Ballot—Ashland Won Last Year and Has Chance to Hold Cup.
The final debate to decide the championship of the Kansas State High School debating league, which will be held at the University May 3 promises to be one of the most interesting debates ever held in the state.
On this night teams representing Burlington and Ashland high schools will debate for the cup and banner offered by the University. These two teams have won all preliminary debates. Forty teams took part in the tournament this year. All material for the debates was furnished by the Extension Department. The championships of the different congressional districts were decided, and then the Extension Department paired the teams and on last Monday night the Burlington high school representing the Seventh district defeated the Junction City high school, and on last Friday night, Ashland, of the Fourth district, won from Garnett Burlington will argue the affirmative of the question of introducing woman suffrage into Kanass, and Ashland will defend the negative. Both schools asked for the affirmative. W. H. Johnson, high school visitor and R. R. Price of the Extension department drew to decide which would oppose equal suffrage.
The debate will be of more than usual interest because of the fact that Burlington will be represented by two girls and one boy, and Ashland by two boys and one girl. If the girls are given suffrage, then that they should be given suffrage, the reason is of value to the women who are working for suffrage throughout the state.
Ashland won the cup for the first time last year. If that high school should be successful this year it will hold the cup according to the rule giving the school the cup when it wins twice in succession.
The high school debate will be held the night before the high school field and track meet on McCook field. The Burlington rooters will come to Lawrence in a special train in time for the debate.

WALTER HALL IS DEAD
Graduated From the Engineering School in 1901. With High Honors.
Walter S. Hall, '01, died Sunday at his home in Hillsboro, Illinois. Mr. Hall was a well known student at the University, especially in the engineering school where he was graduated with high honors. He was employed as consulting engineer in the laboratory of the American Smelting Company at Hillsboro, at the time of his death.
Walter Hall and William Reynolds built the Oread Cafe which was torn down only a short time ago. The Cafe was started in 1900, and it was by this means that the two of them paid their way through the University. They called the place "The Eatmobile."
Mr. Hall was one of the charter members of Alpha Tau Omega. He also graduated he married Louis Harvey, a Laev venworth, Kansas. Their courtship began during their college days. She and one son survive his death.

EVERYONE ENJOYS THEM
One of the chief features of any college town is the theater and the character of the productions that are secured is of first importance. A high class theater in a university town is desirable in somewhat the same degree as a close-fitting "lid." The drama offers a means for a part of the student's education.
Through the influence of the new theater building in Lawrence and through the efforts of the local theatrical manager, some of the best dramatic productions have been secured to play at Lawrence, where the students of the University have been able to take advantage of some of the really good things in the theatrical field. The favorable comment upon the excellent series of productions that have been played at the opera house is well deserved. The management of the theater is doing a service for Lawrence people and the patrons appreciate these efforts.
The students at the University of Indiana and Purdue University are considering the organization of walking clubs, membership for which three cents and lots of determination are required. Certainly they have no Adams street hill to climb to classes, else all determination would have been gone and the fee would have been ten dollars payable to the registrar at the first of the year.
KEEP THE SOPHOMORE FARCE
Two years ago, the members of the sophomore class gave their first farest at the Prom for the upper classman of the University whose ranks they were about to join. At that time, the junior Prom, was the great social function of the year and had become one of the University traditions. Since the inception of the sophomore Prom, or Hopp as it is termed now, and the class face, it has become like the junior Prom one of the traditions of the classmen at the University.
It has always been a social function conducted by the bona fide members of the sophomore class. Now, however, steps are being taken by the management of the farce this year to open the cast to the students of all the classes. This is an act in itself insulting to the members of the entire class and one destroying a University tradition of longer standing than any one of the members of that class.
In the first place, when the sophomores first gave a Prom and farce, many people questioned the advisability of such a feature. However, since it was strictly a class affair, it was permitted to continue. Now, when the cast of the farce is thrown open to the students of all the classes, their objection will become valid again. What will be the use for such a farce that merely represents one more dramatic production of the students of the entire University and that requires their time and energy? Has it not lost all its significance as being the efforts of
If the Hopp and face remain one of the traditions of the student body at the University, they must never be opened to the members of the other classes for participation in the entertainment. It must maintain its only distinctive feature.
the members of the sophomore class?
Moreover, the class should never permit its own management to make the accusation that not enough good material is contained within the class for the presentation of a farce. Certainly a cast may be selected from the large number that tried out, people who have talent and ability, without enlisting the aid from either of the upper classes or the freshmen.
To let the manager of one force step forth and change the custom of all sophomore classes, alter a University tradition, and insult his own class, is not right. The class itself should see that "i" is not done. If one of the small number of traditions here, that have been established by such strenuous efforts, can be changed and destroyed so easily, then indeed, the work of all the other classes has been in vain.
THE OUTSIDER'S VIEW
In an editorial enlargement upon a statement made by President Lowell of Harvard concerning the famous "rich men" of his university, the "New York Sun" denies the existence of "rich men's colleges," and then it draws its picture of the typical undergraduate. Some of us who are one of him might see him from a different viewpoint, but we would probably not be fairer, even if treating such a personal matter.
Poor old higher education is traveling a rough road nowadays always the highway of public opinion. And when the "Sun" does thus hold out for the undergraduate a ray of hope to take its place with the collection of "knocks," there is reason enough for reproducing some of the ideas:
"There are snobs in colleges as there is almost every other kind of social type, but the undergraduate, bubbling with independence, and the intolerance of youth, jeers and abatimates them. Rich men as rich men have to be examined, and if they have the virtues worshipped at colleges, manliness, athletic prowess, good manners, good fellowship, skill in song or at acting or playing the violin or what not, they "pass." There is no necessary relation between poverty and scholarship. Worthy poor lunkheads occur, and we have known rich men to "lead" their class. The rich student today who prides himself on his plutocracy, fawns for social advancement or distinguishes himself by excessive dissertation or dissipation will be the loneliest man in college unless he can find a toady or two, who will be despised just a little more than he is.
"They are a queer enough set of healthy young savages, the undergraduates, with their customs, prejudices, clothes and slang and ritual, including their magical chorus of "yells"; collectively they are sometimes something of a trial to the public, though individually usually modest and agreeable; morality and even religion flourish among them, many opinions to the contary notwithstanding; good form in their little republic has a mighty sanction and frowns upon vice; they loathe the pretense of goodness, but are really honorable, if occasionally a little loud; they will be ostracized otherwise; a strange tribe." -Cornell Daily Sun.

AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
It happened that a Fox caught its tail in a trap, and in struggling to release himself lost all of it but the stump. At first he was ashamed to show himself among his fellow foxes. He then stood on the wall, bolder face upon his misfortune, and summoned the foxes to a general meeting to consider a proposal which he had to place before them. When they had assembled together the Fox, who had been standing tall with their tails. He pointed out how inconvenient a tail was when they were pursued by their enemies, the dogs; how much it was in the way when they wanted to sit down and hold up the fence, which will陪 other. He failed to see any advantage in carrying about such a useless encumbrance. "That is all very well," said one of the older foxes; "but I do not think you would have recombinated your armourment if you had not happened to lose it yourself."

EDITOR'S NOTE-Apropos of the investigation that has been ordered by the Pope at Rome into the untimely report of his death when he was very much alive, print Monsieur D'Andreau's short-story entitled "The Pope Is Dead." The rumor started in 1930 and in less than an hour the news was flashed over the world that Plus X had died.
THE POPE IS DEAD
PASSED my childhood in a large provincial town cut in two by a much trawled, very restless river, where I early acquired a taste for wandering and a passion for life on the water. There was especially a corner of a certain wharf near a foot-bridge called St. Vincent, of which I never think, even today, without emotion. I see again the sign nailed to the end of a yard: Cornet, boats to let; the little ladder going down into the water, slippery and blackened with moisture; the fleet of little boats, freshly painted in bright colours, lying in a line at the foot of the ladder, swaying softly from side to side, as if made buoyant by their pretty names painted in white letters on their stern: The Hummingbird, The Swallow, and so forth.
And then, among the long oars gleaming with white lead, which were drying against the bank, Father Cornet walking about with his pail of paint, his long brushes, his tanned, furrowed, wrinkled face, with a thousand little dimples, like the river on an evening when the wind is fresh! Oh! that Father Cornet! He was the Satan of my existence, my sorrowful passion, my sin, and my remorse. What crimes he has caused me to commit, with his boats! I stayed away from school, I sold my books. What would I not have sold for an afternoon of boating!
With all my books in the bottom of the boat, my jacket off, my hat thrown back, and the pleasant, fanlike breeze from the river in my hair.
Suddenly the wheels of a steamer would beat the water near me; or else a heavy shadow would fall upon me; the foresail of an apple-boat.
I ling tightly to my oars, drawing my eyebrows together to give myself the aspect of an old sea-wolf. As long as I was in the town, I kept to the middle of the river, at an equal distance from both banks, where the old sea-wolf might have been recognised. What a triumph, to mingle with that great procession of boats, of rafts, of logs, of steamboats which glided by, skilfully avoiding one another, separated only by a narrow streak of foam! There were heavy boats, which turned in order to make the most of the current, and thereby displaced a multitude of others.
"Out of the way, you little brat!" a hoarse voice would shout; and I would struggle and sweat, entangled in the caeseless going and coming of that life of the stream, which the life of streets constantly crossed, on those bridges and foot-bridges which cast reflections of omnibuses under the strokes of the oars. Among the current that was so strong under the arches; and the eddies, the famous hole of La Mort-qi-trompe! I tell you that it was no small matter to guide one's self through that, with arms of twelve years and no one to hold the tiller.
Sometimes I had the luck to meet the chain there. I would quickly hook on at the end of those long lines of boats which it was towing, and with my oars idle, reaching out like soaring wings, I would let myself go with that silent swiftness which cut the river in long ribbons of foam, and made the trees on both banks and the houses on the quay hurry by. Before me, far, very, verbose boating of the screw, a dog barking on one of the tow-boats, where a thin thread of smoke rose from a low funnel; and all that gave me the illusion of a long voyage, of real life on board ship.
Unluckily, these meetings with the chain were rare. Generally I had to row, and in row in the hours when the sun was hottest. Oh, that noonday sun falling perpendicularly upon the river! It seems to me that it burns me now. Everything glared and glistened. Through that blinding and sonorous atmosphere, which hovers over the waves and vibrates with their every movement, the short strokes of my oars, the tow-lines rising from the water all dripping, would cause vivid flashes of polished silver to pass. And I would row with my eyes closed. At times, on account of the vignour of my efforts and the rush of the water under my boat, I imagined that. I was going very fast; but on raising my head, I always saw the same tree, the same wall opposite me on the bank.
At last, by tyring myself out, I would succeed in leaving the city, all dripping and flushed with heat. The uproar of the cold baths, of the laudress' boats, of the land-floats, diminished. The bridges
stretched across the broadening river here and there. Suburban gardens, a factory chimney, were reflected in the water at intervals. Green islands trembled on the horizon. Then, unable to row any more, I would draw up against the bank, amid the reeds all buzzing with life; and there, overcome by the sun, fatigue, and the heavy heat that rose from the water studded with great yellow flowers, the old sea-wolf would bleed at the nose for hours at a time. My voyages never had any other end. But what would you have? I called that delightful.
But the terrible part was the return to the town and home. I vain would I row back with all my strength; I always arrived too late, long after the school was dismissed. The impression of the falling night, the first jets of gas in the fog, all augmented my fear and my remorse. The people who passed, returning tranquilly to their homes, aroused with excitement along with an aching head, full of amusement and water, with the roaring of shells in my ears, and on my face the blush for the lie that I was going to tell.
For I had to tell one every time, to meet that terrible "Where have you been?" which awaited me at the door. It was that question on my arrival that frightened me most. I had to reply on the spot, on my feet; always to have a story ready, something to say, and something so surprising, so impressive, that the surprise cut short all the questioning. That gave me time to go in and to take breath; and to attain that end, nothing cost too much. I invented terrible tales; revolutions, a whole quarter of the town on fire, the railway bridge fallen into the river. But the worst thing that I invented was this:
That evening I arrived home very late. My mother, who had been expecting me for an hour, was stand-ing at the top of the stairs watching 'or me.
"Where have you been?" she cried.
Tell me what deviltry a child's head may not hold. I had thought of nothing, prepared nothing. I had come too fast. Suddenly a wild idea passed through my head. I knew how hard it was very pious, as fevered a Catholic she and I answered in the breathlessness of intense emotion:
"O mamma! If you knew!"
"The Pope is dead."
"The Pope is dead!" exclaimed my poor mother, and she leaned against the wall, as pale as death. I hurried into my room, a little frightened by my success and the enormity of the lie. But I had the courage to maintain it to the end. I remember a dismal but pleasant evening; my father very serious, my mother crushed. They talked in undertones at the table. I lowered by eyes, but my escapade was so entirely buried in the general desolation that no one thought about it.
They vied with one another in citing some instance of the virtue of poor Pius IX; then, little by little, the conversation strayed back through the history of the popes. Aunt Rose spoke of Pius VII, whom she remembered very well to have seen in the south, in a post-chiase, betweengendarmes. Somebody recalled the famour scene with the Emperor; Comediante! tragediate! It was fully the hundredth time that I heard that terrible scene described, always with the same intonations, the same gestures, and the stereotyped formula of family traditions which one generation bequests to another, and which never change, as childish and as purely local as convent stories.
I listened with hypocritical sighs, frequent questions, an assumed air of interest, and all the time I was saving to myself:
However, it had never seemed so interesting to me.
"Tomorrow morning, when they learn that the Pope is not dead, they will be so glad that no one will have the courage to scold me."
Thinking thus, my eyes closed in spite of myself, and I had visions of little boats painted blue, with little corners of the Saone made drowsy by the heat, and long claws of water-spiders darting in every direction and cutting the glassy river like diamond-points.

DORM FUND SWELLS AS SPRING ADVANGES
Circus Maximus, Kirmess And Nickles Makes Figure Pass $6000 Mark.
The condition of the youngest K. U. ward, the Dormitory fund, is reported as rapidly improving with the warm spring weather, and steadily growing. It will in all probability pass the $6,000 mark within the next three weeks.
The last estimate given out by the secretary was $5,500, but this did not include the returns from the indoor circus which totaled about $250. The proceeds of the Kirmess, which the chairman of the committee estimates at over $200 will also go to this fund. Another fund of over $200 is to come from the event for Mrs. Patee, and Mr. Arthur Marks, who have offered to give the proceeds of one night's show to the fund.
"Although we regret very much that Mr. Carnegie made such a mistake as to forget to send the $75,000 check as was announced April 1," said Miss艾丽丝·普瑞恩, growing prospects for a dormitory are growing bigger every day."
SHAKSPERE SLANGY?
PERISH THE THOUGHT
| " | SLang phrases are like the winds of yesterday," said a professor who is not necessarily a philologist the other day. "You would be surprised at the great numbers of slang words and phrases that have been consigned to oblivion after many years." Once they have passed they are dead, and it takes an effort to recall them.
"Do you know what we called a particularly striking sort of young woman a few years ago? It will be hard to recall the exact term. I suppose that expressions of this kind would run into thousands in numbers if ever they were collected in one book. Three hundred dollars each dame." Today we frown on the word 'class' as expressing distinction. We say 'she's a bear.'
"Twenty-five years ago people had their slang just as they did it when Shakespeare lived. I was reading through some old papers the other day and I found many expressions in the funny column and in the advertisements. It was customary to speak of the young woman as 'utterly out' and "simply would hardly please" that character would hardly be regarded ingenious.
"Wouldn't it be jolly to know just what Shakespeare called the dark lady of the sonnets in collouqial languages?"
WHICH IS STRONGER?
Professor Rogers Trying to Find
What Types of Imagery
Predominate
Do you think with your eyes, your cars or your nose? In other words, what is the kind and degree of light that you by a word, a sound or an objection?
Prof. D. C. Rodgers is conducting a series of experiments on his psychology students this week, which explains the development of sensory images in different individuals. To perform the experiment, words or phrases are given which suggest visual, auditory, kinesthetic, touch, temperature, taste and smell images. Following each the student is asked to identify calls into his mind. A summary of these results will show the kind of images peculiar to each individual mind.
Some have only visual images, others auditory, while one student proved that he thought in olfactory images by answering, "onions," to the suggestion of garden. In some the degree of sensation produced by such sensations is almost as complete as if the actual sensation occurred.
This system of tests is the same as that advocated by psychologists as a test on criminals, on the theory that the person experimented on will write words connected with some past experience.

GYPSY BIRD BANDS ARE BREAKING UP
W. H. Carothers, Coach
As Warmer Days Approach Many Migrants Prepare to Go North
to Go North
Soon will the merry company of chickadees, sparrows and juncos that have spent the cold days of winter together in jolly c-mradeads, break up their strolling gypsy bands. Most of the chickadees and some of the sparrows will remain here to nest, but not so the juncs. Our touch of warm weather has given them the spring fever. They are longing for the cold and snowy north, where the climate will match their color of dress, which has been aptly described, as "Leaden skies." This mountainous residence enables them to wear their winter suits for spring without their northern neighbors knowing of their economy.
Several species of juno visit Kansas. Their spring song is rarely heard this far south. It is described by those who have heard it as "a crisp, call note a simple trill, and a faint whispered warble, usually much broken, but not without sweetness."

Disease
State Does Much to Lessen Prevalence of this Dread
As a result of the persistent fight which Kansas has made against typhoid fever, cases of this dreaded and often fatal disease are yearly becoming less numerous.
"Typhoid fever is gradually losing its hold on the residents of Kansas," said Prof. W. C. Hoad, of the University, "and this is due largely to the better sanitary conditions which the state requires." Most causes of typhoid at the present time are traced back to impure milk, private wells, or personal negligence.
FACULTY BRING HOME MEASLES FOR ALL
Sanitary conditions in the state have been improved by the operation of the state water and sewage law which has been in force for the last five years.
The campaign against the "harmless" house fly, and the part taken by many of the newspapers of the state on the disease, aided much in suppressing the disease.
state water and sewage law which has been in force for the last five years. This law regulates the water supply of cities and the disposal of sewage from towns, does not apply to the smaller towns, that typhoid is causing the most trouble. Many of these towns do not have public water systems and consequently do not fall under the provisions of the state law. However, the state is making an effort to improve the water supply and the general
Presidential primaries for Kansas are not needed according to the Cooley Club vote Friday afternoon. The question called forth a lively discussion and the vote of the Senators was nine to nine. The new president proved to be a standpatter for he cast the deciding vote against it.
As is the custom, both the retiring president, Hugh Adair, and the new president, Francis Schnacke, made short speeches.

REDS AND BLUES IN DECIDING GAME
Girls' Basket Ball Teams to Settle the Championship Game Today
The third match game between the Crimson and the Blue women's basket ball teams will be played off this afternoon in the gymnasium. The teams are composed of members of the Women's Athletic Association and each team has so far won one game. The team that wins the first two promises to be interesting and each side is claiming the best chances for victory.
Interest in the women's swimming classes is picking up and the young women are learning the different strokes in expert style. Racing and will be startled the first of this week and match contests will soon be held.
Dr. Margaret Johnson, head of the women's athletic department, said today, "I have had several inquiries as to whether thegirl's gym work will continue through May or not. I wish to say that it will and that most of it will be out of doors. We are now practicing on Association foot ball on the open field. The game, as we plan it, is much modified in its relation to the soccer game played by the men's teams. All rough work has been eliminated and we use merely the foot work. The Idea is more to give the classes the out door exercise than n to make professional soccer players out of them."

LEAVE FOOTBALL RULES TO STAGG
If He Approves Chicago Will Make Her Own Gridiron
NEBRASKA WANTS ELIGIBLES
Code
Coach Stagg, who will return from the South next Friday or Saturday, will determine the position of the University of Chicago faculty on the question of "big eight" football rules. The maroon professors asserted yesterday that the director would be the chief figure in the deliberations over the latest recommendations of the conference representatives, who wish to bar athletic men from their ranks and frame independent football laws.
The Chicago coach, who has been a member of the standing national rules committee for years, is not expected to approve of the proposal to break away from the national committee. Although he would be the logical head of any western body that might be formed, Coach Staghg has always favored unified rules, and the maroons affirm that he regards the opposite tendency as unfortunate.
STAGG OPPOSES FOUR DOWN RULE
It is no secret at the maroon camp, that Coach Stagg does not favor the 1912 rule permitting four downs in ten yards on the ground that it will tend to increase mass play, and that he opposed the innovation before the last meeting of the rules committee. The maroons are waiting to hear the coach's opinion, however, before protesting against the rules.
The maroon baseball team worke out with a team of alumni and ineligibles yesterday and will play the Joliet Standards this afternoon at Marshall field.
The professors who urged independent rules most at last Saturday's conference gathering were in favor of reverting to the 1911 code so far as possible. Experienced football men at the Midway oppose the whole plan on the ground that it is impracticable, as it would result in confusion among the players and officials.

Over sixty freshman have responded to Coach Plank's call for candidates for the freshmen base ball team. As there is but one vacant diamond to be had for their practice, it is almost impossible to get any line on their respective playing ability.
FRESHMEN SLABSTERS HEAR DIAMOND CALL
The men will probably be picked to a large extent on their hitting ability. It is intended to keep as large a squad can be conveniently worked. On account of the lateness of the season it will be hardly possible to pick teams before they will be gin practicing with the varidity.
In order to overcome this lack of space, it is planned to fix up a new field directly west of the present diamonds. If it not found sufficient to supply the needs of the present would-be pill chasers, it is probable that an attempt will be made to secure two or three more diamonds this summer.
Coach Plank in speaking of his men said that he expects a team that will make the varity hustle. Several men have reported their ability have reported for practice.
HAWAII WILL NOT PLAY
Foreign Team Not Heard From Since Arrival In This Country.
The game scheduled with the College of Hawaii for Thursday of this week has been called off. The game was scheduled the early part of the season, but as no word has been heard from them since their arrival in America, Coach Sherwin thought it advisable to cancel it.
FIRST TO SIGMA CHIS
It is too late to secure another, game to take the place of the one cancelled so no game will be staged this Thursday.
It is not known whether the students of this University will be given a chance to see the Chinese ball players in action at a later date or not, as no definite word can be seen from them as to their intentions.
Lack of Practice Space Makes Choosing of Team Very Difficult
Initial Game in the Inter-Fra-

In the first game of the inter-fraternity baseball series played yesterday afternoon, the Sigma Chis took a running start and got well in the lead for the season's pennant by allowing the Sigma Nus to hold down the small end of a 17 to 7 score.

The score:
Sigma Nu. ...100 051 0----7

It was not until the fifth inning that the Sigma Nu hopes took a new lease on life and decided to come back. At this time they awoke from their lethargic mood and got five men across the home plate.
The second game of the series is being played this afternoon on McCook between the Phi Delts and the Sig Alphs.
Harlan and Wilson were the "heavy's" for the Sigma Chi aggregation and slammed the horse hide out in far field nearly every time up. The star play of the game was pulled off by Heil in the first inning. He drew down the laurels by scoring a double-out assisted; tagging one man between third and second, and counting counter-clockwise and tagging another man making a slide back to first. The way was easily one that could come under the head of "The Greatest Play I Ever Saw."

"THE LOTTERY MAN"
PULLED THE LAUGHS
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 17, 1912.
Eleventh Production of the Masque Club Well Received by Good Audience
MISS SMITH THE FEATURE
Other Stars Were "Bunny" Wilson "Pinky" Wingart—Speeches Carried Well—Show Equals "Billy"
(By Grouchy Gilihan)
Pronounced by many critics to be as successful as any play given this year by a University dramatic organization, "The Lottery Man" was staged last night before a good-sized and appreciative audience. Coming as it did after two other local dramatist co-authors, it debuted in college plays and players was at a low ebb, the Masque club's production is especially to be complimented on its appreciated reception.
The players were well fitted for their parts, and though perhaps they did not act as well as professionals, they did highly satisfactory amateur work. An improvement is especially in the emulation and players voice strength, the latter. Though not always pronounced as clearly as possible, only a few of the speeches lost themselves in passing under the proscenium.
LUCILE SMITH WAS THE BIG STAR
TUCKLE SMITH is THE BIG STAR
The big hit of the play was Lucile Smith as "Lizzie." Her coy yet simian advances toward the "Lottery Man" were side-splitting in their effect on the audience. Indeed it was an art times she could not keep her own, but bright enough "Runny Wilson" Wilson, leading man, as "Jack Wright," the不fortunate reporter, disappointed not a one of his most ardent admirers—except "Lizzie" "Jack's" protesting lines were somewhat petulant at times and he anticipated the scenes somewhat, as if he were in a hurry to get it over with but it should also be remembered that "Bump" manages the show, and his cares are manifold.
The mothers, Marguerite Ellis and Hannah Mitchell in their appearance and their interpretation of their parts were commendable. The scene in which "Jack" found his mother had pawed her trinkets to buy lottery tickets, was the most effective resource for getting bigglong college audience, was silenced for once and listened attentively to every word.
Fay Chisham, as "Helen Heyer" rendered the part of the "heroine" with a natural case that made her lovable to the reporter who "loved to work."
CUPID LAME, BUT THERE'S A REACTION Wayne Wingart made a good newspaper man, but a better actor. His interpretation of a millionaire newspaper owner was a trifle free and easy; his concern for the vanities of his mother lacked a deep sincerity which was expected, but in the main, his lines were handled effectively.
The love scenes in general were a little cold and lack enthusiasm, but were as realistic as in most University plays.
The Swede-Irish massuse, played by Elsa Barteldes, did consistent and satisfactory work in the opening scenes, later, in the scene with the Lottery Man the part called for more spirit and enthusiasm than was shown. "Hedwig's" stage presence and appearance, however, are not to be criticized.
PLAY WAS WELL CHOSEN
PLAY WAS WELL CHOSEN
As a whole the play was well received. It showed the effect of careful training, and intelligent management. It should be an example to student dramatic organizations, as was the production of "Billy" by the Thespians; an example, a warning, a hint. It ought to show that, inasmuch as college actors are not expected to be able to handle difficult or weak parts, a real live show with good lines and strong situations should be chosen for production.
Some degree of credit is due Harold Wilson for his management of the play, which was in addition to playing one of the most difficult parts in a manner, mainly commendable. Another element that no doubt
contributed to the success of the play was the dinner party for the cast given by crafty Manager Wilson in the Eldridge house just before the show.
DR. W. C. PAYNE WILL VISIT EASTERN CITIES
Dr. W. C. Payne started, Saturday evening for New York City where he will attend the "Men in Religion Conservation Congress," to be held n Carnegie Hall April 19 to 24.
Dr. Payne will be gone a month, and during his absence he will visit Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore. For some years Dr. Payne was pastor of the First Christian Church in New York and Philadelphia.
STUDENT COUNCIL ENACTS REFORMS
Make Decisions Regarding Athletic Board and Annual--ChangeStudents' Day
At a meeting of the student council last night, it was decided that the manager and editor of the annual shall be elected hereafter in the junior year. The election will be held annually, on the third Tuesday in February, and will be governed by the rules established for the present time. The election of these officers for the ensuing year, however, will be held on May 10.
It was also decided that the date of students' day should be changed to May 24 and that the date of the athletic election should be changed to Mav 16.
The athletic election was changed so that the election could be held under the new athletic constitution if it is ratified by the Board of Regents, whose next meeting will be held sometime near the first of May.
The reason for the change of students' day from May 17 to May 24, was on account of a noted speaker who will talk in chapel on that day.

Missouri Debate in Fraser Hall April 26—Professor Gesell Says Kansas Can Win
The annual Kansas-Missouri debate will be held in Fraser Hall, April 26. Final arrangements for judges have not been made. Unlike the Kansas-Colorado contest, there will only be two men on a team, though each side will have more time to develop its argument. The main speeches will be twenty minutes and the rebuttal speeches eight minutes.
"This plan is more conducive to intensive work," said Prof. G. A Gesell this morning. "The lack of time to really cinch an argument was one of the main objections to the debate last week."
Allen Wilber and Milton Minor will represent the University against Missouri. The debate will be the last one of the year.

The Deodorized Will Visit
Kansas City and St, Louis Next Week
CHEMISTRY AS SHE IS USED
Prof. W. A. Whitaker Will Conduct The Expedition.—Will Give Engineers Insight to Practical Method
The Chemical Engineering Society will take a trip of inspection to Kansas City and St. Louis next week. They will start April 22 and return April 27. This is the first extensive trip that the Society has taken and it is planned to make a similar one each year. Prof. W. A. Whitaker, of the department of chemistry, who will have charge of the project, would send letters from plants and factories, which they will visit, stating that they will endeavor to show them every courtesy and will co-operate with them to make the trip highly successful.
The purpose of the expedition is to give the chemical students an insight into the practical applications of the science of chemistry as employed in the large manufacturing plants, and the methods which are used.
MANY FACTORIES TO BE INSPECTED
The party will go to Kansas City first, will spend two days there and visit the following places: A place for the manufacture of sulphuric, nitric and hydrochloric acids; a plant for the roasting of zine ore, showing the modern roasting furnaces; two plants which manufacture laundry and toilet soaps; the packing houses; the municipal laundry; and the laboratory (the laboratory in which meat suspected of being unwholesome is treated); and it is possible that they may go through a paper mill.
Three or four days will be spent in St. Louis and visits will be made to the municipal gas plant; a plant for the manufacture of paints and pigments; a paint factory in which the "old Dutch lead process" is used for the manufacture of white lead; a corn products company (a plant which manufactures straches, syrups, etc. from corn); an enamelware plant; a plant which manufactures anhydrous ammonia; several plants for the manufacture of steel and steel castings; and several large foundries.
SIXTEEN IN THE PARTY
Several short trips may be taken out from the city plants in the vicinity of St. Louis, the principal places to be visited are the glass factory, and plants for the distillation of coal tar, wood and crude oil.
The trip will probably be the best and the most interesting of any which any of the engineers have taken this year and several are taking advantage of this opportunity offered them. So far as is now known the following will compose the party: Prof.W.A. Whitaker, James D.Malcolmson, L.yen B. Bennett, Charles J.Robinson Glem.L. Pyle, George O.Peter, Peterson L. Kshaw, Emile E. Grignard, Arch Mackinnon, Clint G. Armstrong, Carleton H. Armsby, Ewart P. Jacques A. R. Jones, and Lloyd E. Leatherco

NEW CLASS PERIOD SAVES TIME FOR ALL
Dean Templin said that all the College instructors were glad of the change, as it had done away with the over-lapping of classes, and given a regularity to the day's program, and that recitations are not interrupted by students coming in late, as they were before the plan was adopted.
The Whistle and 50-Minute Hour Brought Order to Class Room
An interview with the deans of the different schools concerning the new fifty-minute class period, nothing but favorable comments toward it could be obtained from any of them. The superiority of the new system is greater than it was expected to be. A number of the instructors were opposed to the change before it was tried, on the ground that the noise of the whistle would be disturbing. Now these instructors are thankful that the old system was discarded, as the bad features of the whistle failed to appear.
Dean Blackmar in recounting the advantages of the new system said, that now there was no excuse for a student being late to class on account of time; that the new period was more economical in reference to time than the old one, as the student could have time for relaxation between classes, and therefore do better work in his recitations. He also pointed out that the greatest advantage was that conditions would be better for the health of the student.
The necessity of having at least ten minutes between classes is obvious, when it is considered that a number of engineers must go from the Physics building to the Engineering building between successive classes. Dean Marvin confirms the opinion of the other professors in the statement that the fifty minute period is a saving of time compared with the old period.
TRACKING THE LIVING PROBLEM
RIGHT WHERE IT LIVES
At Mills College, Cal., they are answering the question often raised as to whether colleges are giving enough attention to the conditions which make difficult the rearing of a family on a small income.
To the regular course in economics has been added a study of home management. Each member of the class will prepare a paper in the nature of a thesis case account, which he submitted for examination at the end of the term.
The class has decided to keep account of the family of a street car conductor as a typical case. The college grant will have to take into account factors such as the family expenses, cost of food, clothing, light and heat and other necessities.
In addition to learning the cost of living, essays must be prepared by the girls on ways in which the expenses can be cut down.

SOPH FARCE FOR THE SOPHS
Class Voted Unanimously to Bar Outsiders From Junior Farce Next Year, Also
By a unanimous vote the sophomore class decided today in chapel to bar all but members of the class of 1914 from participation in the sophomore farce, the junior farce and the senior play. The decision arose out of the proposal of the prom managers to permit the cast of the play to be selected from the other classes. The announcement was made in the Daily Kansan two weeks ago, but at the time attracted no attention and comment.
The Hopp management thereupon decided that the sentiment of the class was not actively against the position, and steps were taken to place members of the freshman class on the cast. When this was officially done a storm on protest was aroused which broke in the class meeting today.
Speeches were made by the Sowers brothers and Arvid Frank in support of the proposal to throw open the cast of the farce to all students of the University. Then up rose "T. R." Wingart and in a few earnest words, he set forth what appeared to be the sentiments of a majority of the class. 82 attended the meeting.
The vote that came later was unanimously in favor of a "sophomore farce for the sophomores."
A class tryout has been ordered for seven o'clock tomorrow night and all members of the sophomore class are requested to attend.
"Upon the success of the tryout depends the success of the whole production," said Ralph Yeoman, president of the sophomore class, at the meeting today.
Prof. Stimpson, Deputy State Sealer, Depiores Condition in Kansas City, Kan.
Professor Stimpson, the deputy state sealer, returned from Kansas City, Kan., last week, where he presided at the installation of Amos C. Riddel, as city inspector of weights and measures.
Professor Stimpson found the condition in Kansas City very bad, in regards to the use of weights and measures. In one store the scales twelve ounces and the avoidupois and apothecary weights. By the apothecary system a pound is only elewce ounces and the avoidupois sixteen ounces. It would seem that the store keeper had the best of it; but that is not the case. The ounces of the apothecary are larger than the ounces of the avoidupois and there is one store in Kansas City that gives more than is required for the money.
USE OP LIQUID MEASURES
Another bad feature was found in the stores of Kansas City was that the stores use the liquid measure for produce that is supposed to be measured by the dry scale. Onions and cranberries are measured this way. By this system the purchaser is beamed about 15 per cent that is due him.
The penalty for such offences is a fine of not over $100.00 and thirty days' jail.
New York and Massachusetts have had this law enforced for a number of years and Kansas has decided that its good people shall get all that is coming to them. In the future Professor Stimpeon will see that the merchants of Kansas give the people of the state the correct weights.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
For age and want save while you may, no morning sun lasts a whole day.
THE ALUMNI
The first class graduated from the University in 1873 and it numbered four students. Now nearly four hundred young men and women of the state receive their degree at the close of every year, and yet the University is but half grown, the work that the University can do for the people of the state is by in the embryo. However, it is with such spirit as was displayed at the banquet of the Kansas City graduates last week, that the members of the Alumni Association meet at this time of the year.
The alumni of the University may not yet be strong enough to control the vote of a national congress, as some of the older Eastern universities may boast, but, for a young state university, the roll of the Alumni Association shows names of no little importance both nationally and in the state. And in nearly every great city in America, at some time in the year, the banquet of the Jayhawkers is held in the best hotel. Two such Jayhawker alumni are state governors now and one recently declined the offer of a candidacy for the vice-presidency of the United States; another has acquired fame in the field of municipal government reform, and the latest man to rise into the ranks of the truly great men of the country is the Kansas engineer who was taken from a construction job in Kansas City to the East to direct one of the largest construction companies in the United States.
They are found everywhere, these alumni, the mailing lists of their magazine give a small idea of the numerous places in which they are working, and it is a safe guess that all are making good.
Melville E. Stone, who has seen the rise of the American newspaper profession, says that as far as money is concerned there is scarcely a worse paid profession in the world than journalism. Nevertheless, he remarked that the reporter who succeeds is the man who is literally a walking encyclopedia and there is much solace in that for the "cub" reporter.
PHOSSY JAW
Two of the leading magazines have taken up a campaign against the evils of the white sulphur match. It is one great industrial evil of the day. The making of this white sulphur match has the honor of exacting the highest toll in human lives of any of the occupational diseases. The vapors and fumes from the phosphorous that is a constituent of the white sulphur causes the bones of those who come in contact with it to rot away; whole pieces of the jaw come out, this is only one of the terrible effects of the poison, the one from which the evil is named.
It is the cheapest match that can be made and that is the reason the manufacture of them continue. Chemists have found many harmless, though more expensive substitutes for this insidious poison, but the
manufacture of the white sulphur match will be discontinued entirely only after the passage of a bill in congress providing for its end. Although the white sulphur variety may be comparatively harmless to the person who uses it, it is for the good of those who are forced to aid in their making that such a bill is beneficial, and University people should do all in their power to aid such legislation.
NEWSPAPER ENGLISH
Good expression implies thought, thinking is a product of experience. The use of many words points to lack if organized thinking or to lack of experience. Big words are used only; small words are used when he wishes to mystify his hearers.
Language that appeals to the masses of the people must be that which goes without embellishment directly to the point. It is the function of of the newspaper to inform the people, to get them to think. To get these results the English of newspapers must be simple, concise and direct. This sort of clear, forcible expression is what is meant by newspaper English. Newspaper English, so called, is too often confused by the popular mind with that which is poorly written or ungrammatical. That newspapers are not faulty alone in this respect can be shown by comparing the manuscripts of writers for journals and papers with those not trained for this specific sort of writing. The comparison reveals that while the better newspapers have definite standards by which matter submitted for publication is gauged, writers in general have no such standards.
Taking into consideration the purposes for which it is written, newspaper English as used by the better writers of pure English.-University Missouri.
BENEFITING HUMANITY
One of the most important feats ever accomplished for the uplift movement has just been performed by Prof. Reinhard F. Wetzel, of the College of the City of New York, who after years of study and patient experiment announces to a breathless populace that he has ascertained the weight of the world to be 7,000,000,000 tons. Nor is this all. Not content to rest after these labors, as a less restless genius would do, Prof. Wetzel is going right ahead to weigh the sun, and after he has put that on the scales, his purposes to tackle the moon and a few other important planets. Meanwhile he wants us to help hang around and await the outcome of his epoch-making experiments with what fortitude we can command, and get along for the present with the knowledge that we now know exactly what the earth weights.
It is a great comfort to feel that the earth weighs an exact 7,000,000,-000,000 tons. It is a good number, easily remembered, and the most scatter-brained can roll it off the tongue with that feeling of confidence which comes of having an indisputable fact well in control. We shudder to think of the frightful consequences which would have resulted had Prof. Wetzell placed the weight at, say, 7,685,237,479,643 tons. Such a discovery would have mowed down civil service candidates like delegates before a steam roller, and would have brought misery and distress to innumerable happy homes and created no of barroom arguments. Prof. Wetzel is to be congratulated. It is such a discovery at which eleven education and places all mankind in its debt.—Washington Post.
A MOOD
A blight, a gloom, I know not what, has crept upon my gladness—
Someone has touched the touch of sorrow, or of madness?
A fear that is not pain, a fear that has not pain's insistence;
A sense of longing, or of loss, in some
A subtle hurt that never pen has writ
nor tongue has spoken—
Such hurt perchance as Nature feels when a blossomed bough is broken.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
A DOE had had the misfortune to lose one of her eyes, and could not see any one approaching her on that side. So to avoid any danger she always used to cliff cliff sea with her sound eye looking toward the land. By this means she could see whenever the hunters approached her on land, and often escaped by this means. But the hunters found out that she was blind of one eye, and hired a boat roost under the cliff where she was cried to speak with her from the sea. "Ah," cried she with her dying voice.
"You cannot escape your fate."
WHAT IS EXPECTED
OF A YELL LEADER
Hs Is a Peculiar Psychologist and a Born Leader of Men----Few Men Want His Job
'from The Portland Oregonian
Get together a few screaming steam callipopes, corral an assorted handpicked gross of howling drunk Comanche Indians, turn loose seven brass bands of the most demonstrative type in a building with a tin roof and you have a vague idea of the amount of noise required to win a modern intercollegiate football game.
From the very nature of the thing it is evident that there must be some one in control of this volume else it might go off at the wrong time and blow the opposing aggregation over the goal for a touchdown and victory. Desperate characters have been tried out at the position of yell led by agonizing student bodies, but not even a train robber has had the nerve to face that tremendous song of victory that college men are wont to sing at each thud of colliding bodies.
SOME OF HIS QUALIFICATIONS
To hold down successfully such a job as this, a fellow must first be a college man in the strictest sense of the word, and he must further be capable of getting down on all fours, looking like he could bite a tenpenny nail in two, and of convincing 2,000 blood-thirsty undergraduates that their only hope of victories in throwing wide open their turtle valves and spreading their mouths until they look like caverns in the side a black mountain. He must be a black guardian to give forthounds that would make the leather-bound, hand-engraved pocket edition, wild West cowboy yell seek shelter under the nearest spreading chestnut tree or such a volume that the suffering spectators who had been cajoled by the football game to come and hear the yelling, could not distinguish it from the mass movement.
FEW DESIRE THE JOB
A yell leader bears the same relation to football that a pig does to its squeal. No pig, no squeal. No yell leader and no football worthy of the name. It takes the heart-rending, piercing, sympathetic cry of the hardened cheer czar to awake in the thousand frigid college men perspiring enthusiasm over a near-deafed gridiron contingent. Irony, pathys, humor and tearing satire must be playthings for him as he feels the pulse of his mighty throng, to catch the slightest whim, and at the same time watches the visiting team tear the home players into digestible chunks and kick them over the field fence.
Few men hanker after the position of yell leader unless they are preparing for a job as train-caller or sergeant-at-arms in a waterfront saloon. However, yell leading develops long distance runners, comic vaudeville artists, ward politicians and glee club members. It also develops a public that could stand all day on a railroad track listening to the whistle of a wreck train and enjoy it.
That there is a science to yell leading was attested at the Oregon-Washington football game played in Portland, November 18. The rooter king who cannot get the crowd to go with him is lost. He starts a yell, has to finish it himself and is in the air. He gets the big laugh and his control over the rooters for that day, at least, is gone. Or it may be that he tries to continue a yell too long and disgusts the fellows who wish to watch the game rather than his waving arms and legs.
In a word, a good yell leader is a psychologist and a general. He is able to devise ways of getting several hundred poverty-stricken college men to raise $50 in 10 minutes to send the band with the "team;" he knows how to guide a half mile of reeling serpentine through the crowded streets of a metropolis without breaking any windows, raiding theaters or dumping street cars off the tracks. He has in mind the every movement of a large band that must be kept organized else it will break up. His importance cannot be overestimated, for while a struggling team may not hear the yells of the roots it very quickly hears the absence of them and by the testimony of veterans of the moleskin, silence has a disheartening effect on men under such high tension.
From a minor result of a victory or a good play, organized rooting has come to be a cause and a part of the game itself. Men once cheered good plays from enthusiasm over them
PECULIAR PSYCHOLOGIST
and from admiration of the player. When "college spirit" came into vogue in its new meaning followers of football, crew, track and baseball began to cheer because of loyalty to their institution and it soon became a matter of good form to cheer louder than the man under opposing colors.
HOW BOY SCOUTS LIVE
Club houses or club rooms for the different troops of the Boy Scouts of American are now coming to be a much desired part of scout equipment, and all over the country the boys are out going for suitable homes for their troops.
Some of the club houses which have already been erected are in fine buildings and beautifully equipped, as the club house built for its boy scout troop by the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in St. Louis, Mo. This building, only one story in height, is built of brick along military lines and has a hall suitable for drills. The various patrol rooms encircle this center hall.
While there are many handsome club houses of this kind or similarly well furnished and equipped rooms for the different troops, even more popular are the cabins which the boys themselves build and furnish in the simplest manner. Many of these are built at some point in the woods, so that during long hikes in the woods they can be warmed up and warm up and even cook themselves a meal.
In other places the cabins are built in the suburbs or on a vacant lot which has been lent to a city scout troop. At Council Bluffs, Iowa, the various partlets have each built a built on the hills over which the hikes extend. How to build a log cabin is one of the things which a good scout is expected to master, and the necessity for winter quarters has given many of the scouts experience with building their home; otherwise never have obtained. All that is required to equip a scout club house or cabin properly is a store, a few simple cooking utensils, a rug or two and some pictures. That makes a cozy interior, whether there are such conventional things as chairs and tables or not.
All true scouts can sit on the floor with perfect comfort and none of them demands that there should be a table at which meals may be served. But a stove is necessary unless the club house is a grand one and has an open fireplace, because a club house or rabbit without any cooking arrangements would be a most disappointing place to a hungry snug—New York Herald.
CHINESE CALENDARS OUT OF STYLE
AS THE Chinese new year season approaches, the desire of the Chinese to obtain one of the pictorial calendars with some historical scene or other design becomes most intense, and they will use every effort and use every influence to abtain the coveted article. This year, however, there has been a slump in many of the productions which have been gotten out both by foreign and Chinese firms. The reason is, that, in accordance with practice, they placed their orders for calendars with lithographers early in the year, and the designs and emblems followed the conventional ideas.
They were not to know that a revolution would occur and would be responsible for a complete change of sentiment among the Chinese. Thus calendars have the "yellow dragon" in any part of their scheme are condemned, even if it be only on the flag of a ship shown in the picture, and those which represent men and women wearing queues are not in demand. The result is that a few firms have been told that the expensive pictorial advertisements which they had obtained at considerable expense are "no good."
Excavations have been made for the building of a $150,000 dormitory and dining hall, on the campus of Princeton University, the work to be completed by the fall of 1913.
THE DAY YOU CAME
Such special sweetness was about
there, and I knew it.
I knew the lavender was out,
and it was mid of year.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Their common way the great winds blow
blew
The saws salted out to sea;
Yet ere that day was spent I know
Mine own had come to me.
So after song some snatch of tune
Lurks still in grass or bough,
So somewhat of the o' June
Lurks in each weather now.
The young year sets the buds astir,
The old year strips the trees;
But ever in my lavender
I hear the brawling reeves.

Everybody knows that fraternal orders perform an important function in society and that they are worthy of the encouragement that they receive. Lawrence has always been hospitable to such organizations and in return has become a large place on the map of fraternaldom. One of the most impressive Masonic temples in the West may be seen in this city. The Eagles lodge has a fine new building. The Fraternal Aid Association has its general offices here, housed in a magnificent three story office building. Other orders enjoy the prosperity that comes with large membership. The fraternal spirit is strong in the Athens of Kansas.

NOTED WOMEN TO SING AT CONCERTS
Music Festival Offers -Opportunity to Hear Exceptionally Good Voices
The women singers at the Eleventh Annual Music Festival are one of the most exceptional features of the concerts.
The soprano solist, Madame Namaire-Toye, is a daughter of Judge Banks, Martha. She also plays in the Orchestra.
OFFERS IN EUROPE
Her mother, the noted singer called the California Nighaleigh was her first instructor. This is one of the few women who have placed her daughter's voice correctly.
She received further instruction in Europe. She has held offers from several European Opera Houses, prefering to make her way entirely in her city.
During the past season she has been in great demand in New York at parlor musicals of well known millionaires as well as in public. At the concert there she divided honors with Kubelik, the noted violinist.
OTHER SINGERS AT FESTIVAL
Lucille Tewksbury Stevenson, considered by many critics the foremost concert and oratorio soprano of the country, will make her third tour this year with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.
Mme. Stevenson has appeared throughout most of the United States during recent years, and with such success she is one of the most popular artists before the public.
On her previous tours with the Minneapolis organization, her success has been pronounced, and in the concert recital and oratorio field her lovely voice, sincerity and charm of a singer, who is not only recognized as one of America's leading singers, and as an artist of most satisfying qualities.
Mrs. Genevive Wheat, the contralto soloist, is well known at the University, having been here at two previous Music Festivals.

TWAS A MEAN TRICK,
BUT LAWS'LL BE LAWS
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Tired and worn out by his effort to appear naturally buoyant during the mazes of twenty dreamy waltzes, the upper class engineer went to bed.
Tired and goaded to desperation by being bullied and kicked about the house all day, the Junior Law had gone to bed to dream of tinkling alarm clocks.
The engineer's room was loaded. All the alarm clocks in the house had been appropriated by the law for this one glorious occasion.
When the clock on the window still rattled, the engineer merely grunted. When the one dangling from a bed slat began half an hour later, he swore. "What's it? What's this roosting upon a tin pan, began jangling its alarms from the closet.
The engineer acted. He seized the clock and a pair of skates at the same time and carried both out into the hall. The cash and the engineer returned to bed.
The Law says he wouldn't have cared if it had not been a borrowed one, and the most expensive of the bunch.

GREENLEES CHOSEN BASKET BALL LEADER
At Annual Banquet Speedy Guard Was Elected Captain of 1913 Five
At the basket-ball banquet last night at the Eldridge hotel, Charley Greenlees a sophomore engineer, was chosen to lead next year's squad. Although Greenlees has played but one year on the team, he fully earned his right to the captaincy by his great offensive and defensive work. In spite of the fact that the team had not outscored him, he was one of the heaviest scores on the team.
Brown and Greenlees were the candidates for the captainacy. Hite, who was expected to be a candidate, did not run on account of some doubt as to whether he would be in school all of next season on account of the new ruling of the School of Medicine concerning the transfer to Rosedale.
For some unforeseen reason the Athletic Board has yet failed to decide concerning this year's basketball ball "K's". As as result of this oversight, Coach Hamilton was unable to carry out the training that "k" required "to the men at their annual banquet.
Speeches were made by President Rice of the Athletic Association, Coach Hamilton and members of the team. The spirit of these speeches was a determination to have a team next year that would leave no question concerning their right to the Missouri Valley championship.
In addition to this the men decided on the basket-ball sweaters they will receive as a reward for their last season's work.
BLUES WON THE SERIES
Took the Deciding Basket Bal Game From the Crimson Team 14 to 9
By a score of 14 to 9, the Blues defeated the Crimisons in the third match game between the basket ball teams of the Women's Athletic Association, yesterday afternoon in the gymnasium. This being the rubber game, the honors go to the Blues, who have won two out of three games.
At the end of the first half the score was 10 to 1, in favor of the Blues. In the last half, the Crimson whipped up and when the game closed, the score was 14 to 9. There were no stair plays, and it was a ragged game.
"This was partly due to the condition of the floor," explained Frederika Hodder, captain of the Blues. "The floor was so slippery after the Prom that we all had tumbles, and couldn't play a good game."
The fourth game in the series is scheduled for Tuesday, April 23. There will probably be two or three games before the season closes.

T. E. D. HACKNEY IS THROUGH
Conference Eligibility Committee Says Star Has Served His Time.
Theodore Hackney, Missouri's former football star has been declared ineligible for football at the Missouri Valley conference because he played in the William Jewell and Monmouth College games.
The eligibility committee of the conference decided that Hackney is not eligible to play football after the close of the present school year, because, with the close of the school year, Hackney will have played three years.
The state university attempted to have the committee decide that Hackney had played but two years, claiming the gapes that Hackney played against should not be counted, as the two colleges are not members of the conference.
TENNIS SHARKS TO GET IN THE GAM
Captain Hawes Issues Notice for Tryouts for Team; Schedule Given
The schedule for the University of Kansas tennis team has been announced and Captain Hawes has issued a call for all tennis players in the University to try out for places. In former years the Kansas team has represented its school well and the prospects for the coming season are correspondingly bright. However it will be necessary for a large number of tryouts before a victorious team will be able to be picked, as the Jayhawk opponents are unusually strong this year.
Captain Hawes has issued the following statement; There will be a meeting at 12:15 Thursday at the check stand in Fraser hall for all men who expect to try out for the varsity tennis team. The tryout tournament will begin immediately. Those who are unable to attend this meeting must hand in their names to Hawes, Richardson or Nees before Thursday noon, so that the drawing for opponents may be made at that time.

FOOTBALL ELECTION
Ernest Frank and Harmon Tied in Vote for Football Leadership
Elections at the State University held Tuesday morning for the purpose of choosing football and basket ball captains for the coming year, resulted in a tie vote in the former case the choice of Sam Carrier in the latter.
Dewey Harmon and Ernest Frank were the opposing candidates in the field for the football captaincy. The vote stood four to four, and eight of the sixteen men eligible to vote being present. This was the second football election this year, the last one held in 1913. To lead the Cornhaskers for the season of 1913, having been rendered void by the latter's leaving school.
ABSENTENES MAY VOTE BY PROXY
Six of last fall's letter men are now out of school—Gibson, Shonka, Elliott, Chauner, Warner and Potter. The rules require a majority of the men received letters last fall and became eligible. With six out of school and four standing pat for either candidate the required nine votes can not be obtained except by proxy.
Lofgren and Swanson were absent from the meeting on Tuesday, the latter being sick with the mumps. For whom the votes of these two men will go is, of course, not certain, albeit it are thought to favor Frank. Even if the vote was however, the latter would still require the support of some of the others.
The election of Sam Currer to head Nebraska's basketball team was unanimous.
Dr. Clapp has called a second meeting of the team men eligible to vote for April 17.
EN INNINGS TO A DRAW
Phi Delt-Sig Alph Game Was Called With the Score.
3 to 3
Called on account of darkness, the second game of the inter-fraternity series proved to be one of the most closely contested battles ever fought between fraternity teams, and ended in the tenth inning with a score of Ph Delta 3, Sig Alphs 3.
Both teams put up a game that would almost do credit to varsity players and the spectators, though few on account of the cold weather, were continually "kept on their toes" by the uniform playing of both sides. The first two innings were shutouts for both teams, but early in the third the Sig Alphs opened their batting eye and when they went on the field again had one run to their credit. In the next inning the Phi Delts brought in one man, while the Sig Alphs succeeded in sending two of its representatives the round of the sacks.
From this time till the beginning of the ninth it was "one, two, three," on both teams, with an occasional hit and base on balls to keep up the interest. However the tune changed when "Skinny" Fritch got next to one of Hamilton's otherwise elusive pills and sent it out in center for two stations, bringing in Porter, who had been holding down the third bag. Walker, the next man up, sacrificed and Fritch by clever and speedy base running stole past third and slide in home, tying the score.
Another inning was played and then the game was called because of the inability of the fielders to see the ball.
The game scheduled this afternoon between Phi Gams and Phi Pisis has been called off on account of wet weather.

MINNESOTA WOULD QUIT
Gopher Students Favor a Break Wit Big Eight Conference
Bitter denunciation of the "big eight" conference for its action last Saturday in rejecting the scholarship athletic standard is expressed in a recent issue of the Minnesota Daily, the official student publication. The Daily presents to the students a ballot in which it asks for a vote on the question of withdrawing from the conference. The Daily says in part: "After months of dickering, subterfuge, measures of circumvention and eleventh-hour vetoes the conference assumes the same status as precluded last fall. The time has come for the students and faculty of the University of Minnesota to take a stand one way or another. We believe that the conference has ceased to serve its purpose and justify its existence, so far as Minnesota is concerned."
"We believe that Minnesota should sever connections with its present entangling alliances."
WILL SEEK POISON IN ANGRY RODENTS
E. R.Weidlein Experimentin on Rats—Says They Are Scarcé—No Cruelty
In order to ascertain whether or not a toxin is formed when an animal gets angry, E. R. Weldlein, who holds a physiological fellowship, is going to perform a series of experiments with rats as subjects. In order to comply strictly with the demand of the humane society, the experiments will be conducted under conditions which will by no means be confused with the horrors which a living animal is said to experience in the course of vivisection.
The process used will be to cause the rat to become angry and then put it under an anaesthetic. Some of the blood is then extracted from it and is injected into another rat which has also been anaesthetized. Of course, the experiments could be conducted to a better advantage, without anaesthetization but Mr. Weidelin says that he does not wish to be cruel so he will adhere strictly to convention.
The experiments have been slow in starting for the reason that rats have been scarce around the Chemistry building since the announcements of Mr. Weidlein's intentions. Only one rat has as yet been obtained. Mr. Weidlein would appreciate it greatly if some one would donate three or four specimens of the genus Mus for the experiments.

ABOUNDS IN HUMOR AND HUMAN INTEREST
Spanish Play to be Given April 27 is High Class Comedy
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 18, 1912.
STUDENT JUMPS HIS BILLS
Zaraguaeta, a Madrid Money Lender Wants His Dinaro and Follows Delinquent to Uncle's Home.
April 27th, is the date of the Spanish play. It will be one of interest for the lovers of a good comedy, as the Spaniards are famous for this art and "Zaragueta" is one of the best of modern productions.
The play was produced for the first time February 14, 1894 in the Teatro Lara in Madrid, and it had a long run at this theater. The authors are men of rare ability and well known among the younger Spanish dramatists. Miguel Ramos Carrion and Vital Aza produced "Zaragueta" together, and besides, several other productions and librettos for light operas. This play has been given in this country several times and has been very successful.
PLOT OF THE PLAY
The scene is laid in the country near Madrid where the uncle of Don Carlos lived. Carlos is a student at the University of Madrid. While in school he gets in debt to a money lender named Zaragueta and to obtain this money Carlos tells his uncle that he has to go to Paris for a very expensive operation. Before setting out to Paris he visits his uncle and gets his cousin Marjua to aid him. While at the home of his uncle he is examined by the family doctor and put on a milk diet and put to bed.
TO EXTRACT THE DIMES
A good sub plot is furnished by Pis a youth of the village who wished to become a priest. His plans are wrecked when he finds his brother Rissa who seeks to marry him to Maruja.
In the meantime, the money lender comes to the home of Carlos demanding his money. Carlos succeeds in getting him locked up in a wood shed where he is given a good bath. At this point Carlos' uncle appears on the scene and demands to know what is the trouble. The money lender explains the situation and the money is given to him and he departs very happy.
Senior Young Women Wil Overrun Campus Selling Tickets to Nickels
Tomorrow will be a great day for the uplift of the drama at the University. The nickel theater will receive its first official recognition from higher education when well nigh a score of good-looking women students appear on the campus to sell tickets—at ten cents apiece—for the dormitory benefit at the Nickel and the Aurora theaters down town next Tuesday.
The committee has perfected its selling organization, and confidently expects that not a man will go down the hill tomorrow without a ticket in his vest pocket. Tickets also will be sold to women students.
WILL SLIGHT NO ONE
The campus has been divided up so that no one will be slighted in the selling. One senior will sell tickets in each room. A teacher will sell tickets who will handle tickets on the bill are.
Law—Geneva Wiley and Leota McFarland.
Engineering--Bertha Mix and Dena Ellis.
Fraser-Beulah Murphy and Nell Martindale.
Campus—Hannah Mitchell, Lucy March, Glendale Griffiths, Florence Wallace, Rachel Baumgartner, Nan Armstrong. Elsie Smith.
A special program of new reels is being prepared for the benefit. None of them has appeared in Lawrence before and they will not be shown again.
Miss Beryl Wells has been visiting for a few days with her sister, Genevieve a sohpomore in the college. She is on her way home from California where she has spent the winter.
LAWS HAVE WARM TIME
AT STUDENTS' DAY ELECTION
Oratuary Was Rife, But The Vote Was Almost a Tie, so Another Election Was Called
It looked like the good old politician days this morning over at the School of Law, for the barkersrist met at chapel time to elect their speaker for Students' Day. Ira Snyder, president of the senior Laws, presided at the meeting, and oratory flew.
W. C. Scott, who hails originally from San Domingo fired the opening gun in his nominating speech for McClelland. His oratorical effort was a dandy. He was interrupted every few seconds by wild outbursts of enthusiasm from the several engineers and pharmacies who had assembled to see the fun. However, after he was nominated, Mr. McClelland refused to allow his name to be voted upon.
Twas the that "LaFollette" Hyames was proposed as being the best available candidate. Henry Fast and Ben Jones were also mentioned but their innate modesty and their lack of a "coterie of politicians" made them both withdraw from the race.
The Ira Synder henchmen obtained the floor after it had been vacated by Mr. Scott, and presented the name of the teacher to the presentative from the School of Law.
It was decided to vote on the men by ballot and the final count showed that Snyder had 98 and Hyamas 97 which was not enough for election.
Whereupon it has been decreed that another election will be held next Tuesday at chapel time.
THEY WILL RISE UP EARLY IN THE MORN
Breakfast a Feature of Class Day—Probably Picnic in Afternoon
Plans are being compiled for the class day exercises on Tuesday of commencement week. Don Davis, who has full charge of the arrangements for the day, says that they intend to have some extra attractions this year. "We are trying to work in a picnic in the afternoon," said Davis, "and we want some suggestions from other members of the class. Usually the only attraction in the afternoon is the ball game between the seniors and the alumni. Of course we will have this also, but we want something else to occupy the time earlier in the afternoon." Another feature of the program for the day which was not bad last year, will be the class breakfast. It is said that this may cause some to get up a little earlier than usual, but the reward will amply repay the discomfiture. Other numbers of the program in the morning, will be the farwell to the buildings, the totem pole exercises, and the alumni address in chapel. At noon a luncheon will be served on the campus just west of Snow hall if the weather permits.

CAN SENIORS STAGE A PLAY BY MAY 18?
The "Dope" Question Is Troubling Many Members of the Class
COMMITTEE HAS NOT MET YET
But Chairman Brumage and Gertrude Mossler, Director, Sure There Will be Time
Can the senior play committee, write, organize, and present the play that they are to give this year on May 18, in the four short weeks remaining before the presentation? This is the question that is agitating members of the senior class who are interested in the class productions committee, up to last night had not met. The chairman of the committee, Everett Brumage, says that he is writing the play. It is understood that he promised the committee at the first of the year that he would write it, but so far it is not completed.
The tryout is announced for "some time next week," but the play has not yet been submitted to the committee. Indeed most of the members of the committee up to yesterday said they had not even been informed as to the character and style of the play.
Other members have, it seems,
been individually consulted.
SOME PLANS HAVE BEEN MADE
"Not a peep have I heard about
the committee meeting," said J. Earle
Miller, one of the members. "I think
it's about time someone hulled the
whorliebirds if the senior class is
going to start a play this year."
Bob Lee, being asked about the senior play plans, said that he knew all about them and had attended several committee meetings. When pressed however, he admitted that only he and the chairman were present at these meetings. Brownie Angle stated yesterday morning that she knew nothing about any plans for a senior play. "The committee has not met," said Miss Angle, in a later interview, but I have privately discussed the plans. I have have complete confidence in the arrangements as they now stand," she continued, "and I have no doubt that the play will be ready for presentation when the time comes."
MISS MOSSLER IS SANGUINE
Miss Gertrude Mossler, who will train the players, is sure that everything will be all right. "The cast will be announced next week," she asserted yesterday, "and we will have three weeks in which to train for the presentation. I understand that the play selected will be light farce, probably adapted, and that the parts will not be at all difficult. I anticipate no trouble in training the company, and expect to see the senior play prove a great success this year."
The other members of the committee, Ruth Van Doren, Lucile Wilkinson, Vance Day, and Louis Lacoss, all said last night they had not been troubled, and that they knew nothing mattered about the plans of the play.
Everett Brumage, the manager,
gives out the reassuring statement
that the production, "Dope," as it
is called has been carefully planned
and that he will shortly issue a call
for a tryout. However, the question
is being asked in the senior class,
whether three weeks is enough time
in which to select a cast, drill it,
and present a creditable play.
the members of the board of the University Kansan and the reportorial staff will meet in the Kansan office Saturday morning at eight o'clock The following will report Sellers, Mike Willer writer, Robert E. Harton, Meissner, Madden, Clark, Hackney, Houghton, Edwards, Ferguson, Baer and Marsh.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
It is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel.
MUSIC
Only upon rare occasions do the students and the people of Lawrence have the opportunity to hear musicians as great as those who will appear upon the three programs of the ninth annual Music Festival Thursday evening, Friday afternoon and Friday evening of this week. The eight soloists and the fifty players of the Minnesota Symphony orchestra, are the best that may be secured for an engagement before a university audience.
In 1904 the Music Festival was established by the School of Fine Arts with the aim of providing music of the highest quality and broadest scope for the University and the people of Lawrence. This aim has been abundantly fulfilled. The festivals have become the leading feature of the musical life of the community and have attracted many visitors from outside. Each year an orchestra of national repute has been engaged with a quartet of singers, and their concerts have been supplemented by the work of the local artists and music organizations of the University.
The Festival committee that made the arrangements for the programs this year has earned the praise and appreciation of the music-loving people of Lawrence.
A HIPPODROME SHOW
With the announcement that the fund for the women's dormitory has reached the six thousand dollar mark, interest in the accumulation of money for the fund has increased among the students and alumni of the University.
A spirit of rivalry has sprung up among the various organizations upon the "hill" that are working for the fund, a rivalry to see which can make the largest addition to the fund. The services of the men students have been enlisted, not only for the Indoor Circus, but also to go upon the boards at the nickel shows down town that have been turned over to the workers for the doriptyory fund. These men are doing all in their power to make this next series of beneficial entertainments successful and they deserve credit. There should be opportunities for more of the men in the University to do some work that will help.
Perhaps next year a great dramatic production, comparable to the hippodrome shows of New York, may be given. Such a feature when supported by the spirit that was shown in the entertainments given at the Football Smoker would undoubtedly be a financial success.
THE RIGHT INTERPRETATION Final word from the Missouri Valley Conference commit upon eligibility states that Theodore Hackney, the Tiger football star, will not be permitted to play on a Conference team next year, even though he did not take part in any of the Conference games during his third year of service. The Conference officials then, even though white-washing
rather freely on the baseball field, are accepting the spirit of play and amateur athletics as being of some importance in the determination of their decisions.
It is with an appreciation of the spirit in which baseball men have received pay for their playing, that the Conference has declared them eligible, and it is with a like appreciation of amatuerism that the committee declared Hackey inelegible. He tried-out for the Tiger team and made it. He did not voluntarily resign his position upon the team, had circumstances permitted, he would have played, so he was in reality a member of the squad, and played his time out.
STUDENTS AND THE LAW
A policeman in a college town, con-
tairy to popular opinion, has a
comparatively easy time as far as the
students are concerned, according to
members of the Columbia police force.
As a rule students are only playful
and mean no harm. They have
their pranks, their customs and tradi-
tions, as they are wont to call them for
the sake of justification often times,
and sometimes, not often, in the carry-
ing out of these "duties," they do harm.
J. L. Whitesides, chief of police,
has been on the police force since
1903. "Students have given us very
little trouble," said Chief Whitesides.
"In fact, taking into consideration
the number of them here, they
have been practically no trouble.
Even the 'rushing' of the 'Nickels'
in their playful way, so common a few
 years ago, has ceased.
"We have always tried to be as easy as possible on them. They were allowed to "rush" the shows in an orderly manner. We have seldom seen fit to do this. Our college pranks. Only a few times have students been put in the holder."
STUDENTS ARE NIGHT HAWKS
"When I first came on the force I served seven months at night without missing a night. It is at night that the students usually do their meanness. Though they were much worse then than they are now, we had very little trouble with them. We knew when they were going on a 'tear' and we only saw to it that they did no actual damage. Liberal allowances were made for football victories. Everybody was feeling good then and liberties were perfectly proper if they did not go too far."
"We are very lenient with students," said another copper. "We do not go on the run every time we hear a bunch yelling at the top of their voices. We know that they are students and they mean nothing. Students are playful and, as a rule, mean no harm. Of course, there are always a few that really want to do some one harm. We aim to get them and no others. The majority of students are perfectly orderly." — University Missouri.
SCHOOL
Sometimes the terms by which students designate their various alma maters in their conversations which others count greatly in the impression made of their particular alma mater upon the outsider. The man who states that he attended "school" or is attending "school" at the University of California very often creates the wrong idea of the University in the minds of his hearers, best the term school should be used to describe learning of the scope of this University is exceedingly undignified. Probably the word is teachnically correct—it denotes a place for instruction—but by American usage the term has come to signify only the most elementary of places of education. The connotation of the word "school" is that it is
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
ONG ago, the mice held a general council to consider what measures they could take to outwit their enemy even though some said that; but at last a young mouse got up and said he had a proposal to make, which he thought would meet the case. "You will all agree," she replied. The men in the sly and treacherous manner in which the enemy approaches us. Now, if we could receive some signal of her approach, we could easily eschew it and propose to propose that a small bell be procured, and attached by a ribbon round the neck of the Cat. By this means we should always know when she was in the neighborhood so easily while she was in the neighborhood."
This proposal met with general appeal, until an old mouse got up and said it is to bell the Cat? The mice looked at the old mouse and spoke loudly. Then the old mouse said:
"It is easy to propose impossible remedies."

The University of California does not belong in such a classification, as we all know, yet the term is constantly used by a few of the undergraduates of this institution, some of whom are upperclassmen with a reputation of knowing better. One of the first things the freshman learns is to cast aside his preparatory school phraseology. By some chance the word "school" has not been entirely eliminated; let us obliterate it from the University vocabulary!—Daily Californian.

COLLEGE SONG STOPPED A PANIC
"On Wisconsin," the students' battle hymn, had a magical effect on a panic stricken audience in the FULLer Opera House. Frances Starr in "The Case of Becky" held the stage when a cry went up from the crowded balcony.
Immediately the curtain was run down and a rush for the fire escapes in the balcony began. Two women in their excitement fell from the iron stairway and sustained minor injuries. Immediately the orchestra struck up the varisity song. The big audience, recruited largely from the university, calmed down instantly and the rush of life was blocked. Someone whose self possession had not deserted him used the house chemicals with effect and put out the fire, which was caused by a smoker.—St. Louis Republic.
"OPEN SHOP" FOR TEACHERS
UP To the present education in the United States has been run on the "open shop" plan. The national idealization of education has induced an extraordinary turning toward it by youth as an aid to culture and also to success in a career. The supply of teachers, especially of women, has kept pace measurably with the institutional demand for instructors of the growing army of children, and the process of selection has not been complicated, at least in many sections of the country, by a plethora of applicants.
While it is true that leading universities of the country now provide definite training for teachers such as did not exist a generation ago, and while it is true that a larger percentage than formerly of university graduates deliberately decide on a permanent career as educators and abide by their choice, it also is true that the largest percentage of youth now graduating choose business as a calling. None of of the three traditional professions, not journalism, and not teaching has proved as attractive to the youth of the past decade or two as engineering or business.
These being the conditions, it is the more surprising to find a university professor now insisting that the time has come when American college and university teachers must "organize" a kind of "protective" trade union, which will exist to provide ways and means of lessening the number of teachers, of raising rates of pay and creating better economic conditions.
As it is now, so this professor says, the superfluous number of teachers, constantly being sent forth by colleges and universities, is having precisely a similar result to that which excessive immigration is having on scale of payment of laborers in America. In short, the demand of the time educationally is for the "closed shop," viewing it from the stand point of a subordinate
That too many trustees, school boards, school superintendents and educational administrators do take the purely commercial" demand and supply" attitude when employing teachers is indisputable. Such cases of shorttightness exist often where last suspected, first suspected, not in the country by and large, there is far less of this penny-wise, pound-foolish policy than to used to be.
educator, who desires a steady job and at a progressive, not a lessening, job.
The status of the teacher in community life is higher relative than it was formerly; tenure offender is based on proved merit shown in examinations, and is put above the caprice or whim of the superior official to a degree not known in early days. Increasingly do pension systems guard veteran teachers from want. Such being the trend of things it must come to pass that increasingly American youth will take up education as a calling.
But even when they do, let them abstain from an exclusive policy that would create a guild monopoly. The country" is torn with stifle today largely because the forces of capital and of labor have bowed down to the whims of American society by the few. American education needs no "closed shop" to enable it to compete with German efficiency.—Christian Science Monitor.

O
BURY ME NOT ON THE LONE
PRAIRIE
BURY me not on the lone prairie!*
These words came slow and
delicate.
From the pallid lips of a youth that lay;
On his dying couch at the close of day.
He had wasted and pined till o'er hisbrow Death's shadows fast were drawing nigh;
He had thought of home and the loved ones nigh.
As the cowboys gathered to see him die,
How oft have I listened to those well known words,
The wild wind and the sound of birds;
He had thought of home and the cotton-
sack.
Of the scenes that he loved in his childhood hours.
In the old churchyard, on the green hill side.
"I have always wished to be laid when I died,
By the grave of my father, O let my grave be;
And a sister's teean exam mingle there;
Where friends can come and weep or
O, bury me not on the lone prairie.
O, bury me not on the lone prairie.
"I wished to be laid where a mother's care
"O, burye not on the lone prairie.
Wild where wolcotes will bow o'er me;
By the grave of my father O, let my grave be;
O, bury me not on the lone prairie.
"O, bury me not," and his vise failed there.
They paid no heed to his dying prayer;
In a narrow grave, just six by three.
He laid him there on the lone prairie
Where the dewdrops fall and the butterfly rests.
The wild rose blooms on the prairie's crest
Where the coyotes howl and the wine sports free.
They laid him there on the lone priеre.

Everybody knows that fraternal orders perform an important function in society and that they are worthy of the encouragement that they receive. Lawrence has always been hospitable to such organizations and in return has become a large place on the map of fraternaldom. One of the most impressive Masonic temples in the West may be seen in this city. The Eagles lodge has a fine new building. The Fraternal Aid Association has its general offices here, housed in a magnificent three story office building. Other orders enjoy the prosperity that comes with large membership. The fraternal spirit is strong in the Athens of Kansas.

Dr. Edward A. Steiner of Grinnell Will Deliver the Sermon June 2
FAMED FOR TOLSTOY STORIES
Is Widely Known as Sociological and Philosophical Writer—Prof. J. N. Boodin Secured His Services
The speaker who has been secured for the baccalaureate sermon, Dr. Edward A. Steiner, is probably one of the most versatile and experienced men connected with any of our colleges today.
He has been a Congregational minister and is now professor of applied Christianity in Grinnell College in Iowa. He was obtained through the influence of Dr. J. N. Boodin, professor of philosophy here, who knew him as one of his colleagues when he was professor of philosophy at Grinnell.
STUDIED STEERAGE CONDITIONS
Dr. Steiner's interests are varied, he is a philosopher, a philologist, a theologist, and a sociologist, but the work by which he is best known is the work which he has done among the immigrants. He has crossed the ocean in the steerage about fifteen times in order to study the problems which confront the foreigner coming to this country.
WROTE RUSSIAN STORIES FOR OUTLOOK He has traveled extensively and the information of the customs and ways of different countries which he has, is extraordinary. Because of his intimate knowledge of the manners and of the language of the Russians, he is representative of "The Outlook" to interview and write the biography of Count Tolstoy.
IS A GRADUATE OF HEIDELBURG
Some results of his trip are the magazine articles entitled, "Tolstoy in the Heart of Russia," "Visit to Tolstoy's Home," "Tolstoy Today," "Tolstoy's Marriage and Family Life," etc.
IS A GRADUATE
Dr. Steiner was born in Vienna, Austria and was educated in the public school there. He later went to the "gymnasium" at Pilsen, Bohemia; in 1885 he graduated from the University of Heidelberg and from the Oberlin Theological Seminary in 1891. He later took a post-graduate course at the University of Göttingen and Berlin.
Besides his numerous magazine articles he has published several books, the best known of which are the following: "On the Trail of the Immigrant," "The Mediator," "The Immigrant Tide," and "Tolstoy the Man."
He is well-known throughout the United States as a very interesting and instructive speaker and it is indeed fortunate that the University has succeeded in securing him.
'RULES IS RULES', CLAIM
LAWS, 'AND CAPS IS CAPS'.
Although he was past middle age there was no getting around the fact that he was a freshman and should conduct himself in a manner similar to the manner of all freshmen since time immemorial.
April first was the date set by the Men's Student Council for the recrudescence of the freshman cap. In deference to the age of some of the nephyes, only warnings were given and no punishment dealt out for the violation of the rule of wearing the diminutive cap. But there comes a time when forbearance ceases to be a virtue.
He was caught red handed (or rather "behatted" instead of "he-capped" as is the degree), and pleaded with the judge that he had refused to wear the cap.
Punishment severe and heart rending was administered to him on the steps of Green hall. The whack, whack, whack from the blows of the paddles reverberated, echoed and reeched through this great hall of justice and the requirements of the law was again satisfied.

MOSSE RETURNS TO COACH HIS ALMA MATER
Favored Trainer to Begin His Duties First of Next Year
ENTIRE TIME TO UNIVERSITY
Captain of '88 Squad Leaves Stock Raising Occupation For Athletics.
Arthur St. Leger Moose has accepted an appointment as assistant professor of physical education to begin his duties next September. He will conduct classes in gymnasium work and assist as coach and trainer for the football and track teams.
When Chancellor Strong one day last September gave intimation that he would recommend Moses's appointment to the regents, the students cheered for five minutes. This shows his involvement in football star is held at the University.
Mosse played guard on the K. U. football team from 1895 to 1898. In his last year he was captain of the squad. His strength as a player lay in his offensive work, although as a masse man he has been able to equal him.
Leaving the University Moses coached the Warrensburg Normal team, and his fame reaching the east he was appointed coach to the Western University of Pennsylvania, which position he held three years. Since 1904 he has been engaged in raising blooded stock near Leavenworth, but has found time to respond to the call of his Alma Mater and help coach its footballm each fall during the past seven years, his active time.
He will now devote his entire time to the University.
NAMARA-TOYE
LIKES KANSAS
"Although this is my first appearance before a college audience," said Madame Namara-Toye, soprano soloist at the first concert of the music festival, when interviewed this morning by a representative of the Daily Mail, in an very glad of the opportunity and anticipate a delightful reception."
Madame Toye has just come from a three weeks' visit at her home in California and expressed herself as both surprised and delighted with Kansas. "I think Lawrence is a beautiful little city," she said.
"I am glad to know there are women in your college," said Madame Toye. "I like women very much and they usually like me. I have sung before many women's clubs and meetings in New York and I always find them an appreciative audience On the whole," she added, "I think women are generally more appreciative of music than men."
Madame Toye spoke of the Titanic disaster. "It is doubly sad to me," she said, "for I had several friends on board the ship. The Astors were very dear friends of mine. I have sung many times in the Astor home. And Mr. Butt was my friend," she added. "I don't see how the president will get along without him, he was such a splendid man, and the head of all social affairs the president undertook."

The University tennis' courts are also being put in shape and will be in first class condition for the game with Baker April 27. Dirt is brought down from the grading on Mississippi and the courts are being filled and packed. They will be ready for use in about a week.
RESULTS OF INDOOR CIRCUS TALLY HIGH
Certified Report Shows Clear
ance of $280.62; Better
Show Next Year
The official report of the managers of the Indoor Circus Maximus have been announced and the Women's Dormitory fund is shown to be better off by the sum of $280.62.
Mr. C. B. Root, director of the circus, said this morning, "I have been waiting to issue the report so that the items could be checked over and certified to by an auditor. The final results as shown are entirely satisfactory and the total amount cleared is larger than I expected. The expenses, however, ran up a little higher than I had counted on. We will be in much better shape to repeat the performance next year, as we will know better how to proceed and will also have a large part of the necessary paraphanaila. We also are making plans for a much larger seating capacity next year. As an initial performance, however, everything tallened up as high as we could have possibly desired it."
The gist of the report is as follows:
Main show. . . $333.20
Concert. . . 38.80
Advertising. . . 14.00
Refreshments. . . 28.30
Total. $414.30
Expenditures. $433.68
Payments cleared.

ELEVEN MEN WILL REPRESENT KANSAS
M. V. Relay Meet at Des Moines Looks Good for Kansas University
The tryouts for the Missouri Valley relay meet at Des Moines, April 20, were held last night on McCook field. But eleven men will be sent as some of the men will be run in two events. The following men will go: Murray, Patterson, R. Davis, Gribble, Fairchild, D. Powell, Balmor, and two men will be selected after trial runs from Wilson, Stuckey, Babb and Brown.
Kansas will be represented in the four mile, two mile, mile, and half mile relay. Our chances are the best in the four mile, as the team that will run in this event is one of the strongest the University has ever turned out.
The teams represented in this meet are Washington, Nebraska, Ames, Iowa, Chicago, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Kansas. Missouri will not be represented on account of the absence of a team to be held with Illinois on the same day.
The men entered in the different events are as follows:
Four Mile--Patterson, Murray, R Davis, Fairchilds, Adair, Brown.
Two Mile —Patterson, Murray, Smiti
Fairchilds, Black, R. Davis, Gribble.
Mile—D. Davis, Black, G. Smith

TIGERS MEET ILLINOIS
Missourians Will Battle for Honors Against "Big Eight" Track Stars
AGAIN THEY WANT US
Illinois worked outside for the first time this week and another week of good weather will do much toward putting the Illini into shape for the competition at Columbia. While the team in general is training for the state championship, the ten-miler for the national championships at Philadelphia on April 27.
Missouri stars especially feared include Captain Bermond in the quarter and half, Shockley in the mile, Thatcher and Roberts in the disc, Nicholson in the high jump and Kirksey in the dashes. Bermond will meet worthy rivals in Sanders and Cortis.
Urbana, Ill., April 16—Illinois will open its outdoor track season against Missouri at Columbia, Mo., April 20. Despite the unblemished record of the Illini in the conference indoor campaign, it is considered doubtful if Captain Murphy's men will be able to defeat the Tigers.
Missouri claims to have almost intact the aggregation that invaded Minnesota last June and stepped away with the conference championship. In this event the Illini must be able to pile up a winning total. Coach Gill's team is strong in almost every event.

Tomorrow a basket-ball and tennis tournament will be held and Saturday a track meet at the Winged Eagle on Friday Richardson made a special trip to Lawrence last week to secure the services of Root and Babb. The men will return Saturday night.

Manager of Music Festival Replies to "a Guarantor's Communication
The Daily Kansan receive,' the following letter this morning from Dean C. S. Skilton:
Editor DAILY KANSAN:
In a recent issue over the signature of "A Guarantor,"dissatisfaction was expressed with the announcement of local talent on the festival programs, the writer maintaining that all the time should be given to the orchestra. The writer also叮住 call attention to the certain points which this critic has overlooked.
In the first place, the numbers have been selected with a view to the remarkable interest of their orchestral accompaniments: for instance, the "Spinning Chorus" from the "Flying Dutchman" is one of the finest orchestral compositions of modern times, while the "Song of the Nuns" presents the harp accompaniment of the horns and the other chorus number a harp accompaniment of great beauty, this favorite instrument being heard in solo only in these two numbers.
Moreover, half of the first named number is "Senta's Ballad," one of the finest of modern solos, sung by Madame Tschäpflin as a long solo in the "Song of the Nurse."
From another point of view one object of the Festival is to promote the musical culture of the community and to give an opportunity to music students and lovers to hear all types of music in which an orchestra takes part.
Such an occasion, would be in- complete without a number for piano and orchestra, and the fact that Lawrence possesses an artist known over the musical world to simply this should be a source of local congratulation.
Finally a Festival without a chorus would be an anamoly. If there were suitable accommodations Lawrence should have a chorus of not less than two hundred voices to render one of the great oratorios, as is done in most of the other cities of the Middle West. At Topeka and Ottawa "Eilijah" was given last year at the music festivals at Baldwin and Manhattan other choral works, not to speak of the "Messiah" week at Lindsborg and the large choral works at Wichita and Kansas City.
Lawrence is as well qualified as these

SEN. YOUNG EXTOLS KANSAS GRADUATES
Exhorts Students to Help Maintain Standard of Excellence Set in Past
WOULD BANISH THE INGRATES
Says Students Who Fail in Obligation To State Should be Sent to Siberia.
State Senator P. C. Young, a graduate of the University with the class of 1882, spoke in chapel this morning.
"The University of Kansas has made good," said Senator Young, "there never has been a breath of suspicion against the graduates of the institution. Alumni are now governors, senators and legislators, and hold many other positions of trust and honor. It is your duty to thank this excellent record continues."
The speaker expressed satisfaction at the excellent location of the University, "Lawrence was wisely chose nas the home of Kansas University. The traditions of this old city help make this location a good one."
"The early settlers of Kansas unsatisfy set aside land for institutions of learning before they had proper shelter for their families. The state has a right to demand that all you students give back in service all the principal invested together with accrued interest."
"The state expects you to be men and women in the best and fullest sense and anyone who fails in meeting this obligation to the state would have no right to object if he were banished to Siberia for life."
FELLOWSHIP WILL BE
CONTINUED THIRD YEAR
Chancellor Strong Receives Wrote From R. K. Dunean That Karpen Fellowship Will Go On.
Chancellor Frank Strong received word yesterday from Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan, that the firm of Messrs. Karpen & Brothers have expressed their desire and intention of continuing the Karpen Fellowship in the next year. The present fellowship does not expire until the first of July.
Professor Brock has a process whereby he can veneer and polish oak at the same time, the entire process requiring only ten minutes.
"The progress of the work is evidently satisfactory to the company," said Professor Redman, "and they have asked permission to continue the Fellowship another year so can bring the work to completion."
The three men who hold the fellowship are L. V. Redman, F. P. Brock, and A. J. Weith. Professor Brock is working upon synthetic plastics which can be molded in any form, and Professor Redman is working on the manufacture and improvement of the material. Professor Weith is working on paints and lacquers.
SENIOR PLAY TRYOUT
Cast Will Be Selected Tonight- Play Is to Be Entirely

The tryout for the senior play will be held tonight at 7:15 o'clock in Fraser Hall.
'The senior play will absolutely be out on time,' said Manager "Spec" Brumage when interviewed in regard to the report published in the Kansan last night. 'No play has ever been put on the stage at the University in less than three weeks from the time of the tryout and as our play is made up entirely of local hits, it will be especially easy to stare.
"As I said," continued Mr. Brumage, the scene of the play is entirely on Mount Oread, and is composed of local hits. Everybody will be stung," "Spee" added in a sinister way, especially "some persons."

AUDIENCE CLAMORS FOR MORE ENCORES
First Recital-Concert of Music Festival Gratifies Appreciative Listeners
LAST CONCERT THIS EVENING
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
Lawrence Ladies Chorus and Three
Solosists Will Play and Sing
Only the gentle and courteous refusal of Namara-Toye and Willy Lamping to continue singing and playing persuaded the audience in Robinson gymnasium to leave after the first recital-concert of the ninth annual Music Festival.
Madame Namara-Toye pleased her audience at once and upon her second number she was forced to give an encore, whether or no. Then she turned away from the more difficult measures and made classical by her interpretation, one of the songs of her native land, "Comin' Thru" the Rye." And later, at the repeated requests of her audience she sang with her own accompaniment "Annie Laurie," and others of the simple folk-songs whose cadence she made beautiful.
Mr. Lamping was also kind in giving an extra number before the close of the concert at the personal request of Dean Skilton. His concert in Aminor, Allegro Moderato and Andante Moderato by Göttermann, won the hearts of the entire audience—at the close, it seemed to everyone that the music was destiny's magic claim that had been woven and several moments elapsed before the audience could believe that it was completed.
CONCERTS TODAY
The concert this afternoon was started at 2:30. This concert was given by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Emil Oberhoffer, conductor, and three soloists, Richard Czerwonky, violin; Carl A. Preyer, pianist, and C. Edward Hubach, 'enor.
The last concert of the festival will begin at 8:15 o'clock this evening. It will be given by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, The Lawrence Ladies Chorus, and three soloists, Lucille Stevenson, soprano, Genevieve Wheat, contralto, and Horatio Connell, baritone.
The chorus this evening will be in two parts. Part one consists of a symphony in E minor, "From the New World" by the orchestra and a contralto solo, "O don fatale" from "Don Carlos" by Genevieve Wheat.
In part two the orchestra will play the overture to "The Flying Dutchman," symphonic poem by J. B. Sharp, and the guitarist Dean Skilton, and "Invitation to the Dance." There will also be solos and choral music accompanied by the orchestra.
REVENGE ON GROUND HOG
Zoology III Students Are Cutting Him Up in Little Pieces
Professor Baumgartner's zoologists have captured the ground hug and are studying his nervous systems, but they have not yet succeeded in finding the faculty which enabled him to give us six weeks more winter, this year.
Spanish Bibles in Greatest Favor
The members of the graduating class at West Point are given bibles annually by the American Tract Society. Each cadet received a copy of the Scriptures in the version he desired. The different versions chosen were: 1 Swedish, 4 French, 9 Lutherized, 9 Douay, 30 American revised, and 43 Spanish.
PROF. CADY WILL TALK
ABOUT THE WEATHER
The class in zoology III is studying mammals and each of the forty members must furnish his own specimen for dissecting. The favorites are dogs, cats, and rabbits, but one member was lucky enough to catch a ground hog.
Prof. H. P. Cady of the Chemistry Department will speak in chapel next Tuesday morning on "Our Climate." Professor Cady will compare our climate with others throughout the world, telling the advantages which it has.
FEAR LENDS WINGS AND B. ROBERTS BROKE RECORD
Bobby Roberts, after stopping in Kansas City to buy a car load of mules for Uncle Sam, is on the campus visiting friends.
They look on surveyors with suspicion in that part of the country, for to them a surveyor is the foremost guide. That would hinder the moonshine industry.
He was in command of a party of sixteen making a topographic survey of the locality in Virginia infested by the notorious Allen family.
Bobby will be remembered as the sterling sprinter of last year's track team, but down in Virginia where he worked last, he broke all the records he ever made on the cinder path.
So when Bob's party first appeared on the hills the word spread hat surveyors were descrenting the and, and in no time the mountaineers gathered with all sorts of artillery.
One of the rod men strayed a short distance from the surveying party. The mountaineers captured him with the idea of practicing on him to get their shooting eyes in good trim. They tied him to a tree when he let up the dirt and Robby to tear up the dirt as he never had a cinder path.
ANNIHILATE LEGUMES MEET IN NEW YORK AT THE BIG POW-WOW AND VISIT CAPITAI
He got there just in the nick of time, and after a parley, wound up the matter by hiring the hostile forces to work for him.
From here Mr. Roberts goes to Minnesota to take charge of a party there.
Bobby says he made the distance from his position to that of the captured one in ten seconds but at that speed he could not worry over the man's safety.
Y. M. C. A. Fabacous Feec Was a Success—Several Talk on Estes Park
In his talk last night Registrar Foster said that last summer he came back from Estes Park with a new vision, realizing more than ever before what he owes to all men. He expressed the hope that he least forty University students would attend the conference next summer. In that case, be said, Mt. Oread would be revolutionized next winter.
At seven o'clock the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting began. The meeting was in the interests of the Rocky Mountain Student Conference held annually at Estes Park, Colorado. At the conference this year a number of widely known men will be present, among those being Mr. Arthur Rugh, secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association in China, Rev. Shailer Mathews of Chicago, Mr. Pred. Smith, secretary of the Religious Work Department of the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association, Dr. Frank Bayley of Denver, A. J. ("Dad") Elliott, and Rev. Sheldon of Topeka.
H. L. Heinzman, state student secretary, said that he was expressing the opinion of hundreds in saying that the summer conference is the greatest thing that can come into a college man's life.
To the tune of "Beans for Breakfast,
beans for dinner, beans for supper,
beans, beans, beans," one hundred
fellowes proceeded to devour the legumes at the fabaverous contest at six o'clock last night in Myers Hall. Great was the destruction, and no wonder, for they were Boston baked beans prepared by the University cafeteria. Besides the beans there were pickles, coffee, doughnuts, and Boston brown bread.
The object of the feed was to bring a large number of men together in an informal way.
Dr. Noble S. Elderin, of Lawrence, told of the Northfield conference which he attended several years ago in the East, at which sixty or seventy eastern towns were served, and said that such experiences serve to hold a man up to the higher levels of life.
Roy Stockwell said that we need something to give us an aim in life which we can harness the training which we receive in the University.

FIRST CONCERT SINCE 1908
Program Partly Classical, Partly
Popular Selections—Student Tickets Admit—16 in Club
The University Mandolin club will give its first concert since the reorganization, April 24 at 8:30 p. m. i. Fraser Hall.
At on time the Mandolin club was
the most prominent musical organization
on the hill. That was in 1908.
The club was then composed entirely
by young men as none of them came
back, the club, was not organize again
the following year.
The large amount of good material for such an organization on the hill this year made possible the re-organization of the club. The first meeting was held in September, and since that time the club has held weekly rehearsals and has grown in size and talent. This recital will give the students an opportunity to judge the new club.
STUDENT TICKETS ADMIT
While the program will not be entirely classical, the selection includes a number of excellent pieces together with some good rattle. The program will be in two parts, the first consisting of selections by the entire club, and the second of solos, and novelties. One number which is said to be exceptionally good, is the "Barcicle" from "Tales of Hoffman." Another which is said to be quite a sensational novelty, is the "Dance of the Skeletons" by Allen.
Student Enterprise Tickets will be good for this recital, and admission will be fifty cents.
The personnel of the club is John A. Castles, Ray M. McConnel, Harland Heller, William Hoyt, Chris Curry, Dan Hazen, John R. Miller, Harold B. Burd, Clinton G. Armstrong, mandolins; D. Dewitt Mickey, Roy B. Rock, guitars; Lawrence B. Morris tenor mandola; Raph AlStevens, cello; clare B. Poland, flute, Carl Brown, clarinet.
James F. Lawrence is director and D. Dewitt Mickey is manager of the club.

Fowler Shops Ship Barber Pipette Holders to University of Chicago
The Commercial department of Fowler Shops has recently shipped three barber pipette holders to Chicago, two of them to G. L. Kite, Director of the University of Chicago, and one to T. J. Bryan, State Analyst of Illinois.
The Barber pipette holder is an attachment to a microscope used in the segregation of bacteria and it is the only instrument of its kind. Orders are sent to the University for it from all parts of the United States.
The instrument was invented by M. A. Barber, who, until this year, was professor of bacteriology at the University of Kansas. The instrument is used by bacteriologists where delicate technique is required. It is equipped with either two or three small pointed pipettes. These are used to separate one bacteria from the rest, to inject stains in the individual animals, or to remove the nucleus or some other small portion of the body of the organism. All movements of the small pipettes are controlled by heating of mercury in a slender U shaped tube.
The instruments are made by C. A. White, instrument maker of Fowler shops.

POOR RICHARD SAYS
They that will not be counseled,
cannot be helped.
THE IMPRESSION OF GOOD MUSIC
MUSIC
There is no doubt but that the music which students are hearing at the Festival will have the same effect upon their spirits that grand opera has upon those for whom grand opera is a treat, that comes only once a year or perhaps at even greater intervals.
A person listens and lives in the joy of the sweet strains brought forth from the human throat or at the touch of the master's hand from the fabric of stringed instruments. Greek mythology was never elaborated too much in the tales of Orpheus, the God of music.
A great audience of thousands sat mute and tense listening to Namara-Toye as she playfully sang for them, and to Willy Lamping as he brought his instrument to life, conducted his auditors through a maze of fairy lore and, at the close, left them waiting for the after impression of the music to return once more.
The recital last night given in Robinson gymnasium was the first of a series of great concerts, each one of which will introduce more and more of the entrancing strains. Tonight the climax of the festival will be reached when both artist-solists and the symphony orchestra will blend together in a final effort before the people of Lawrence, until they return next year.
This is the hard part of it all. One attends all of the concerts, becoming more deeply enwrapped in the flood of song and music, until at last there comes a day when it all is over. He can no longer go to the hall to hear those strains his car has learned in a short while to long for. Then the depressing mood envelopes the music-lover. He is spoiled and it takes only time and careful attention till the patient becomes healed.
Yet it cannot be said that it is in any degree unwise to let the spirit of music claim these days. The student is lead into a better part of the music world and memories coming to him later on at most unexpected times will set those days apart.
AWARDING "K'S"
At the banquet for the members of the basket-ball team given by the athletic management, Manager Hamilton contrary to custom was unable to present to the men who had won their "K"s the sweaters with the letters thereon, because the "K" committee and the athletic board had failed again to make the awards of the letters.
No question as to the right of any one of the men to his letter has been raised and certainly the committee has had all the time that is necessary to make the awards. Basket-ball season closed many weeks ago and final data of the work of the individual men has long since been collected.
Then why was the manager not enabled to give to his men on the evening of their last banquet together,
he honor that is theirs, their "K sweaters? The students look to their student representative upon the "K" committee to see that these acts of courtesy by the student-body are carried out and at a time when the athletes will appreciate them most, not six months after the close of their season when the emblem is quietly handed to them through the United States mail or in the closed sanctity of the manager's office.
Right now there are men on the track team who have won their letters this winter, but they have not been officially granted the right to wear the honor insignia that is their right.
It has ever been tflus. No one knew exactly when a baseball man, a track athlete or a basket-ball toser was awarded his "K." The committee rested in blissful content and repose after it year's work in awarding the football "K"s and somehow, somewhere the others got theirs by the time the fall semester opens.
Inasmuch as the "K" is an honor of the student-body, to have the awards made timely and quickly is a courtesay that is due those men who have won their letters.
THINKING AT COLLEGE
Been reading Stover at Yale, running in McClure's? A good story, a fine bunch of fellows, and well told, probably the best college book of the year. The number there is a very vivid discussion of what ails the college man.
Brockhurst, the spirit of Intellectual Unrest and Protest of the book, suddenly breaks out in a broadside of queries: "Well, what do you know? You've been here going on three years. You are supposed to be more than half educated. What do you know about —" and he goes through art, music, architecture, religion, literature, social progress, and reveals their ignorance of the great movements in these lines. He is right. Try it yourself, pick up his questions and try to answer them offhand. And as a college man you are supposed to know in general along what the lines is moving. And as Brockhurst says, the trouble is we do not think.
Go call on a classmate; you talk about prospects in athletics or oratory, politics, campus cases, but do you ever get up a lively discussion on the Ionic Theory- if you are a chemist—or the trend of modern literature, or any one of a dozen big movements you discuss in class room? Or listen to the average boarding house or chapter house table conversation; sporting andathletic events with others; or less really wii-that's it. It is true that here in the West we may have a little more seriousness, more interest in politics or sociology. But outside of that our ignorance is dense; we no not even know we are ignorant.
We are liable to learn the facts.
That is the system; hold it until exam time and then remember as much of it as will hang on. But the real signifiance of it all—why, bless you, we are off doing a hundred and one things else. We do not learn to think; to see the inter-relation of facts and their real meaning—just what they may have to do with life and ourselves. The man who needs them thought once a math whisker he needed to or not was an exceptional college man; most of us are too busy. We are having the time of our lives here, but we are missing the biggest thing of all—Washburn Review.
A list of freshmen at the University of Georgia who refuse to wear the red freshman cap is to be published in the college paper and "silent treatment" is threatened them for their negligence.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
So a course, was fixed and a star,
was made. The Hare darted almost
him, but he came back with him,
and, to show his contempt for the Tortoise,
lay down to have a nap. The
Tortoise then took a walk and when the Hare awoke from his
nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run up in
to have the race. Then said the Tortoise:
"That is a good joke," said the Hare. "I could dance around you all the way." "Keep your boasting till youve answered the Tortoise. 'Shall we race?'
The Tortoise said quietly: "I accept your challenge."
THE Hare was once boasting of his
mind. "I have never yet been

"I have never yet been beaten," he says when I put forth my speed. I challenge any one here to race with me.

THE NEWSPAPER MAN
AND AUTHORSHIP
Old Hands in Literature Recognize Good Writing]When They Happen to See It
When asked about the supposed gulf between journalism and literature, William Dean Howell, said that there was none, and added that the writing in newspapers was often as good as that in books. Newsman men have been very meek when assailed by the "literati" as corrupters of the language. They will, however, take a sneaking satisfaction in this tribute to them from the man who stands at the head of the literary profession in this country.
What has puzzled the workers on the daily press is, not that they should be criticized—for they know that their work is often faulty—but that_the men who criticize should themselves so frequently be guilty of using slovenly, and not infrequently atrocious English. Current fiction abounds in what its makers contemptually speak of as "journalese." The phrase "newspaper English" is often on the lips of the most careless and commonplace writers.
Their idea seems to be that the book form sanctifies and consecrates the substance of which it is composed—that book writing is necessarily good and newspaper writing necessarily bad. Here, no doubt, is the gulf which is supposed to extend. Now can the magazine in the magazines is much better than that in the daily papers The superstition is amusing rather than harmful.
The young person who launches his first novel on a saturated public by that very act becomes an "author." And, of course, the work of an author is "literature." As literature must of necessity be well written—else it would not be literature—the conclusion inevitably follows.
Newspapers, not being literature can not be well written. Writers for the press have many sins to answer for, but they can not help feeling that the mote in their eyes would be more easily removable by men and women who had first cast the beams out of their own eyes. That does not seem too much to ask, but it is probably more than will be granted. For when a superstition takes form in a phrase—such as "newpaper English"—acquires the dignity and permanence of an institution.
Old hands in literature, the professionals of the craft, do not give themselves any airs. They recognize good writing wherever they see it, for they know what he says and how hewls is a point. And he began his career in a newspaper office.
Between the real newspaper men and the real authors there have always been the closest relations. There have been many definitions of literature, but in spite of them all it is still hard to say what is and what is not literature. One thing, however, is certain and that is that publication between covers is not of itself enough to confer the royal patent. -Indianapolis News.
WOMEN ATTAIN HIGHER
SCHOLARSHIP THAN MEN
Students at the University of Iowa are making an advance in scholarship," said Prof. F. C. Ensign of the University of Iowa, recently. "For example, in 1911, 44 per cent of the men made a fair average record. Fifty-three per cent made the corresponding record this year. Last year 12 per cent received the lowest passing mark, this year only 7 per cent found them. The women on the lower bound of the ladder. The women as usual hold higher averages than the men. Twenty- three per cent of the women received one of the two highest grades while only 16 per cent of the men won this standing.

Everybody knows that fraternal orders perform an important function in society and that they are worthy of the encouragement that they receive. Lawrence has always been hospitable to such organizations and in return has become a large place on the map of fraternaldom. One of the most impressive Masonic temples in the West may be seen in this city. The Eagles lodge has a fine new building. The Fraternal Aid Association has its general offices here, housed in a magnificent three story office building. Other orders enjoy the prosperity that comes with large membership. The fraternal spirit is strong in the Athens of Kansas.

THE CHARM OF THE VERSATILE 'CELLO
Mr. Lamping Had His Hearers Spellbound, in the Gym Last Night
MUSIC WOVE WONDER-VISIONS
And at The End of The Selections,
The Clock's Pulse Could be Heard
All Over The Hall
160
Robinson gym was crowded last night; people filled nearly all the folding chairs that had been set in stiff rows across the canvas covered floor. On the raised platform in front, there was a large man with long hair, in evening clothes, carefully looking over a violoncelo. He tested its mellow resonance and attuned it to the constant note of the piano.
Then a moment of silence, of poised expectancy, a soft chord of melody coaxed by the flying fingers of the accompanist, and the voice of the 'cello rang out sweet and strong. Guided by a master hand, the vibrating bow now enticed, now urged forth the full, rich notes, more human and sympathetic than the song from other throats of brass or wood.
The melody swelled, unfolded and burst in a cascade of rippling and vibrant harmony.
Now it was the forest choral of dawn-mad birds, now the leafy crooning of the summer wind in the tall cottonwoods. Then the walling snow-breath of the North around the woodland and the creep grooming of a freestound lake.
Now the plashing wash of shorekissink wavelets, then the crunch of heavy boots in the shingle and the dull creak of laboring oars.
At once there came the twinkling chanson of the polished dance floor, the gay measures of the minute, then the simple song of a cottage maid at eve, and vesper chimes over misty green fields.
A final flight of melody, then the music died to a faint clear murmur. No deeper silence could reign in a sealed tomb. A careless person moved his foot. The slight rap jarred all around the hall. The magic measures rose and fell. Each hearer strained every nerve to catch the last wonderful whisper. The old wall held up clinging tight. The wall cut off the passing minutes. A janitor in the gallery dropped his keys. The trailing ribbons of tissue swayed in the draft from the upper windows.
At last the waving bow stopped, the artist's head was raised, the intent look of inspiration vanished from his face, and smiling, he bowed. There was an instant's rustle, two thousand arms were being lifted,

Forbidden Combs, Radcliffe Young Women Will Let Hair Hang Down
The ban has been put on comb and baretes as a part of the costume of Radcliffe girls to be worn at the com-mputer exercise of Radcliffe college in June.
The girls are up in arms over this and say that the next best thing to barettes and combs is wearing the hair in the old fashioned way, hanging down their backs in braids and curls. This is the result of a mandate issued by Dean M. Coles of Radliffe, white linen tailored waistcoats, white linen skirts, plain oxford no jewelry, and no combs or barettes in the hair.

NOT ENOUGH BOATS ON LINERS, HE SAYS
Prof. Dais. Experienced Voyager,SaysTitanicHadn't Enough Life Boats
That the recent Titanic disaster was made horrible, and the loss of life was greatly augmented by the fact that large liners do not carry enough life-boats in proportion to the numbers of passengers aboard is the opinion of Prof. F. B. Dains, who has made several ocean voyages, and is has especially noticed the arrangement of life saving appliances on ocean liners.
"Besides the boats, a liner carries two rafts which will also carry about fifty persons," added Professor Dains.
Professor Dains says that twelve or fifteen life-boats is the usual number carried on a liner and that all boats will hold about fifty people.
"According to this estimate, a liner the size of the Titanic carrying two thousand passengers, would of course, have to carry forty boats holding fifty passengers, in order to accommodate all on board.
"Iinsufficient deck space," explained Professor Dains, "is probably the reason why a sufficient number of boats was not on the Titanic."

BASEBALL SQUAD
INVADES AGGIEVILLE
Will Meet Farmer Lads or the Diamond Today and Tomorrow
The Kansas base ball team will mix with the farmers on the diamond at Manhattan today and tomorrow. These two games promise to be the most severe strains of the season for the local tossers.
The Aggies are famous for their ball teams, and this year their performances seem to point to the same enviable record as those attained in the past. They_opened' the season by handing two defeats to Missouri, one by a score of 15 to 6 and the other in a 2 to 0 contest. The last game added to the Aggie string was the Iowa host's best, but battle the Methodists, in spite of the fact that the mighty Zable is pitching, fell before the farmers to a 6 to 4 tune.
The batteries for Kansas have not been announced, but it is probable that Buzick will officiate in the first game with Pollow as his opponent.
The Kansas team will try hard to win from the Farmers this year as they feel that it is about time that the hoodoo of four years' standing is broken. The men feel that if they can win one or two games against their diamond, they will have no trouble in taking both games when the Aggies play the return series here.
SOCCER TO RANK HIGH
Innovation of Spring Practice Increased Interest Calls Attion of N. C. A. A.
Soccer promises to rank among the greater sports in the near future of this and other schools of the Missouri Valley Conference, judging from the amount of interest displayed in the game this spring. For the first time in the history of this school out door spiking practice, men have been introduced. At present over twenty men are reporting for every practice.
It is intended to have a larger schedule next fall than that played last season. This will include a larger number of games at home as well as several games with schools of the university, if any decide to take up the sorpt.
Recently the National Collegiate Association has taken up the game on account of the interest which has been displayed in the sport by the various schools during the last year. Circulars have been issued to the different schools of the country showing the advantages of the game, the manner in which they can be played, and for the scheduled games of the different schools and its history at that school.

KANSAS PROFESSOR INVENTED FOG-BELL
Since the disaster which has occurred in the Atlantic ocean recently, old timers here recalled the fact that the University of Kansas has presented to the world a device for the purpose of signaling from one ship to another in a fog. It was invented by Dr. Lucien I. Blake, formerly head of the physics department, after whom Blake Hall was named.
Ill-Fated Titanic Probably Equipped With Device Useless in Case of Ice
It was due to this system the Baltic reached the sinking Republic in time to prevent loss of life, after the collision with the Florida three years ago. It is also in the system which depends on the water for its carrying nowwers instead of the air.
The submarine bell and signalign system is a sort of underwater wireless. Its works, however, when wireless and ordinary air signals are valueless. The submarine bell, which defies all conditions of air and wind, gives constant warning. Even to a fractional point of the compass can vessels be located in water where there is no sound where the sound of the bell can be heard for twenty-four miles under water when the sound would not have carried five miles in the open air.
The submarine bell, which weighs about three hundred pounds, is lowered into the water twenty feet from the cathead or how. The upper part, which responds to the vibrations of the waves, operate the striker and tongue
The receiving apparatus consists of two tanks lowered over the side in front of the camera.
when are two 'micopop-ups' those micropopes receive the sounds coming through the water and stirring up the surface from here the bell sounds are transmitted to the pilot house, or wherever the navigator is situated.
As all the big steamers on the Camur, the North German Lloyd and the White Star lines are equipped with this apparatus, it is of course believed the ill fated Titanic also used this signaling system.
SOONERS VS NEBRASKA
Oklahoma Adds Cornhuske Game to Already Heavy Football Schedule
The fact that Nebraska has contracted with Oklahoma to play on the biggest date of their schedule is a signal tribute to the record made by the bunch of Sooner "speed fiends" last fall and the reputation of Bennie Owen as being "one of the squares and most sportmanlike gentlemen in the coaching profession" today, as one writer has dubbed him.
Coach Bennie Owen has written to the authorities at Nebraska and accepted the proposition made by them to schedule a game between the Sooners and Cornhuskers. The game will be played at Lincoln on November 23, which is positively the best date on the Nebraska schedule, comparing to our Thanksgiving game. The Sooners will play in Lincoln on Saturday, Nov. 23 and will go from there to Denver, Colorado and play Colorado University five days later on Thanksgiving day. The Nebraska schedule will end with the Oklahoma game.
The Cornhuskers were champions of the Missouri Valley last year and played Michigan and Wisconsin and other teams of Big Eight. This places Oklahoma, the champions of the southwest, on the football map in large type. Besides the intra-state schools the Sooners play the team from Kansas, Kansas Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado. This is one of the hardest schedules ever attempted by any school but the Sooners will "come back" next fall ready to duplicate their enviable record of last season—Umpire.

YOUNG WOMEN WILL HAVE TENNIS ROUND
Tournament Set for May 17 and 18; Chalk Talks for
Beginners
The young women of the University will soon have a chance to meet each other on the tennis court as well as on the basket ball floor. On May 17 and 18 a Round Robin tournament will be held on the courts of the University. All interested are urged to come out.
About 38 girls have signified their intention of entering this sport this year, although only 14 have signed up their names for dates on which to try out for partners. It makes no difference whether the girls have had previous experience or not, as all will be given an equal chance.
An elementary tennis class for women will be opened the first of next week and girls wishing to learn the rudiments of the game will have a chance to hear some chalk talks to help them along. These talks will be under the direction of Miss Rose Abbott and will be held in the gymnasium. She will not only demonstrate how to play the ball, she will also demonstrate the proper way of holding a racket, serving a ball, etc.
GIFT FOR THE PHIGAMS
All girls who wish to either try out for the tournament or to enter the elementary tennis class will hand their names tino Marie Sealy. The exact date for the elementary class will be announced the first of next week.

In a game replete with errors, boneheads and the general characteristics of a poorly played ball game, the Phi Gams were finally forced to accept yesterday's game as a present from the Phi Pis in the last of the ninth with a 10 to 9 score. The contest despite it's small resemblance to a ball game was a very exciting one, exiting as to who would finally be forced to accept it on account of the boneheads of their opponents.

At the Young Women's Christian Association meeting yesterday afternoon, for sustaining and student members, reports of the year's work were read by the out-going president, Lucie March, and the general secretary, Nadia Thomas. Reports of committees were submitted by the chairmen: membership, Isabel Thames; finance, Helen Pendleton; missionary and Bible study, Florence Payne; Wednesday meetings, Beulah Murphy; social work, Helen Burdick; sustaining membership work, Ruth Doren.
Miss Thomas spoke of the supervisory work and the building to be erected as headquarters for this work in New York. This Administration Building is to be erected by Miss Grace Dodge, national president, and others, on a site furnished by Miss Helen Gould. Pictures and a motion was passed to assess each member of the association the sum of ten cents towards a fund for furnishing the building.
The association will hold three more meetings. On Wednesday, April 24, Mrs. Julia B. Perry, superintendent of the State Girls' Industrial School at Beloit, Kansas, will speak on "The Cause and Cure of Delinquency."
NEW GRADE SYSTEM PLEASES FACULTY
But One member Refuses to Sanction Weekly Report on Students' Grades
Since the new system of getting the weekly grades for those in the College has been enacted, a number of inquiries have been received by Dean Templin as to how the plan has been working out. The Board of Records issued the Dean for a report on this system, and a letter has been sent to all members of the faculty to get their opinion of the method.
"In only one instance," said Dean Templin, "has the instructor not given his sanction to the new method. Nearly all give their hearty approval, and think it a mighty good thing. At first a good many thought it would be too much trouble to make it happen, but in reality it is not as much trouble as the old method of irregular calls.
The records are sent in quite promptly, with but two or three exceptions, and they are reasonably full and accurate.
"One great advantage of the system" continued Dean Templin, "is that the majority of the instructors say that it improves the work noticeably, and that the regularity of attendance has also been increase
"Personally, I am very much in favor of it. We are now enabled to give reports at any time to the eligibility committee, dramatic organizations and fraternities, when we have to quite quently write in for grades and we merely copy off the reports and send them in.
"Another advantage is that it serves as a warning to students who are doing poor work. If, however, they find that their reports have all been good during the semester, and then they fail at the end, they will have good reason for raising an objection."
"The Barrier"
This latest and greatest success by Rex Beach has proven his greatest effort and a long run at the New Amsterdam Theater, New York, and comes direct from there on its first transcontinental tour. No play in years has gained the notoriety that this one has. This fact is accounted for by the greatest interest taken by the American public in Alaska, the new El Dorado and it is predicted that next summer will be a greater rush to Alaska than ever was known in the wildest Klondike days—Adv.

KIRMESS WILL SHOW KANSAS IN HISTORY
State Historical Society
Kanzas Braves, Spanish Explorers And Pioneers to March in Pageant.
COWBOYS TO SUPPLY THE NOISE
The Old West and The New Kansa to be Shown in Symbolic Groups Next Saturday.
The historical pageant at the Spring Kirmess will present a vivid picture of the development of Kansas from the earliest history up to the acme of civilization, the coronation of the Queen of the Kansas Kirmess.
The pageant will be made up of about 250 persons in costume, including historical groups, the Queen and her family, the performers, and the University of Kansas band.
Kansas Indians with war-paint and feathers, form the first historical group. Then come the Spanish explorers, in velvet suits, high boots, plumed hats, and swords, a band of gallant adventurers who sought Kansas as the land of gold. Coronado, their leader, was the first white man in Kansas. The Spaniards failed in their search for Eldorado, but years later, the Kansans found it in the gold of the wheat fields. COWBOYS WILL "SHoot UP" CAMPUS
Next come the Hunters and Trappers, with furs and traps; then the Pioneers, with guns on their shoulders, walking besides the Prairie Schoeffer, with the dog's teeth peering out between the curtains, an "old dog Tray" tied under the wagon.
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and Star Soloists Entrance Audience
With a jingle of spurs and a crack of the whip, the Cattlemen come dashing by, with lariats and revolvers. Next in the pageant, connecting the new with the old, comes the K. U. Band, playing old Kansas tunes, like "John Brown's Body," and up to college songs. Even the Crimson and the Blue" is a link between the past and present, for the modern words and written to the tune of an old war song. "The Death of Ellsworth."
ENTER, QUEEN ON PALFREY
After the march of all nations, come the daughters of the commonwealth, a group of fifty senior girls carrying a Sunflower chain. Next comes the crown bearer, who is Milred Roberts, the smallest girl in the freshman class. Riding on a white "palfrey the Queen of the Kirmess, Lucile Wilkinson, tall and stately, wearing a pale green gown with gold sunflowers.
Following the musicians, come the national dancers, representing the influx of other nationalities into the state, the people of foreign nations who have resided to Kansas and have found a home on her broad and hospitable prairies.
Pi Phis Were Hostesses at F. A. A Hall Friday Evening.
FIRST SPRING PARTY
The active members of the Pi Phi sorority were the hostesses of the first spring party this year, when they entertained their friends with a formal dancing party at Fraternal Aid hall Friday night.
The out of town guests were Ava and Cornelia Hardcastle of Emporia, Hazel Kelly of Paloa, and Helen Banges, Bruce Porter, Mary Darlington, Lillian Abram and Ruth Mervine of Kansas City.
The guests were received by Mrs Allan, Leota McFarlin, Lucile Wilkinson, Helen Thomson, Geneva Wiley and Ethel Stone.
The dancing hall and receiving rooms were decorated throughout with potted plants and Japanese lanterns. Ice and coffee were served all evening in the reception rooms on the second floor.
Morris Blacker '09, of Kansas City, spent the week end at the Phi Psi house.
The pageant leaves the gymnasium at 2 o'clock, winds through the campus to Fraser Hall, where the coronation ceremonies take place at 2:30, and at 3:00 will begin the dances of the Kirmess.
Following the Queen are her at tendants, dressed in white with yellow sundowners. In this group are the smallest senior girls. After the coronation of the queen, her power dance before Her Royal Highness, on the lawn in front of Fraser Hall.
SKILTON'S SYMPHONY PLEASED
Prof. Preyer and Hubach Took the Flowers—Orchestration Valhalla Was Especially Delightful
The second concert of the MusicFestival was held in Robinson Gymnastium Friday afternoon. The second number an orchestra suite by the American composer MacDowell, was much appreciated. The composition represented forest scenes, and to the listeners who followed the suggestion of the title, it was truly reminiscent of the spirit of the woods.
Professor Prever of the School of Fine Arts played a concert by St. Saens. It was wildly applauded. Mr. Czorkwyny's violin solo also appeared tremendously delightful to the audence. Professor Hubach's bush, was an instrument that well marched the flowers that his admiring friends showered him with.
But the crowning effect of the concert was the final number, from Wagner's opera "Das Rheingold." The music is taken from the final of the opera when the Gods triumphantly enter Valhalla, over a glorious rainbow path, bridging a chasm of thunder clouds and whirling tempest. The audience, even to the most thoughtless freshman, was completely under the spell of the orchestra leader and his lightly poised wand of melody.
The third and last concert was in a large part, a local production. Professor Skilton in the first performance of his symphonic poem, "A Carolina Legend." To judge from the almost wild demonstration of approval that came at then end of the rendition, the music was not only of great beauty, but of a style clear and simple enough to be comprehended by an audience of ordinary people. This fact does not imply popularity in a disparging sense, but rather that it appealed to that inborn feeling for harmony that is in every man and makes the love of acoustic harmony a real and valuable human faculty.
The work of the Lawrence Lady's chorus was on a par with other efforts of local talent and showed careful and painstaking preparation. The rend-

Through a misunderstanding, the tryout for the senior play was announced for last Friday night. The tryout will be held Wednesday, April 24 at 7:15 in room 116 Fraser hall.
The Extension Division of the University of Kansas has one less package library on socialism since a landlady at Harper took the liberty last week of showing her opinion regarding such literature.
--her mind represented all the evils of anarchy and infidelity and unmentionable crimes. She decided to save the young man from danger and lost no time in putting the vile books into the fire.
A young man rooming in her house had secured from the University a number of books dealing with socialism. He had left them on his library table. The landlady, in cleaning up his room, found the volumes which to
tion of the Flying Dutchman choruses was well received.
The solo work of Miss Genevieve Wheat and Miss Lucile Stephenson was highly satisfactory, to judge from the few notes that were received by the singers.
The young man wrote an anxious letter to the Extension Department explaining the matter, and the department has decided to excuse him. The proper kind of retribution to call down upon the landlady has not yet been decided upon.
Professor Skilton was highly pleased with the result of the concerts.
"I hope to see a greater interest man- nified next year, however," he said "especially among the University students."
ENTERTAIN A HUNDRED
FRIENDS IN EAGLE HALL
Mu Phi Epsilon was hostess last Saturday evening at a reception and dance to a hundred of their friends in Eagle's hall.
Memebers of Mu Phi Epsilon Sorority Act as Hostesses at Reception and Dance.
On the receiving line were lhe Corle, Ehel Hess, Cora Reynolds, Mrs. Skilton, Mrs. C. E. H. Hubach, Ms Harriet Greissinger, Maud Mauld Miller.
The hall was decorated in the colors of the sorority, royal purple and white. A number of the out-of-town guest was here for the occasion, among the being John Wooty of Kansas City, the Worthy Grand Treasurer of the sorority.
TEST NITRO-GLYCERINE
Drug Laboratory Sets Standard for Heart Stimulating Tablets
At the request of the Bureau of Chemistry at Washington, D. C., A. E. Stevens, under the direction of Dean L. E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy, has just completed a working standard for the medicinal preparation, nitro-glycerine.
As a great number of the nitroglycerine tablets, commonly used by physicians as a rapid heart stimulus in cases of heart failure, are worthless, the United States Department of drug chemistry called upon the University's drug laboratory to determine a standard by which all nitro-glycerine preparations can be measured.
All nitro-glycerine preparations, from now on, will be tested and graded according to the standard of the Kansas set by the University of Kansas.
SENIOR GIRLS PLAN TO DO SOCIAL WORK
Miss Nadia Thomas Explains the Movement as Being National
A meeting of the senior girls was held this afternoon at which Miss Nadia Thomas presented plans for social service work, in which every senior girl was urged to take some part.
Records of each senior were taken as to the time she would be able to give to the social work, the line of work inerted in and the community in which she would probably be located. This is in view of associating every individual with some kind of church, settlement, institutional work in the community in which she is to spend the ensuing year.
"This is a national movement," explained Miss Thomas, "to get hold of college graduates and keep them in touch with social Life and conditions. Although the movement is under the authority and is being promoted by the national Y. W. C. A." she continued. "It has no official connection with the organization, and seeks to include not only women of the association, but all college women. The association,'she added,' is merely a clearing house between the prospective workers and community work."
Miss Maude Brown '10, of Kansas City. visited at the Kappa house over the week end.
Charles Blackmar '10, of Kansas City, and at Adolph Spangler '10 spent Sunday at the Phi Psi house.
Miss Ruth Walker and Myra Luce spent Sunday in Kansas City.
Humphery Jones of Hiwaina spent Sunday at the Phi Delt house.
A meeting of the students of the College has been called by the president for Tuesday morning at 12:15 in chapel. The speaker for the Student's Day program will be selected.

PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES NECESSARY TO CHURCH
---
Said Chancellor Strong At Christian Conservation Congress at New York Today
SCHOOLS DEVELOP MORALS
Cooperation Therefore Necessary- More State University Students Than in Church Colleges
New York, April 22—As one of the three principal speakers before the national meeting of the Christian Conservation Congress here today, Chancellor Frank Strong told the congress that the church must take a stance in the university and college efforts of the country, "putting aside the prejudice of sect, and ceasing to demand of the generations now in our colleges the same modes of religious expression that were adequate for our ferefathers."
The church was described by Dr. Strong as responsible for "the crystallization of human hopes, a vague defining of the world demand that the relations of life be so adjusted that every man shall have a desire to develop his life and do the best service for his generation."
He declared that "the university has had an almost determining influence on the moral and religious development of Christianity and there must be the strongest possible alliance and cooperation between the church and the university." He charged that the church "has been blind to its duty towards education in the state," though the number of students per Christian denominations in public universities is larger in some states than the number in denominational colleges.
"In America," the Kansas educator warned his hearers, "the church can not get along without the public universities."
Mrs. Day of New York City, is visiting her daughter, Miss Edna D. Day, of the home economics department.
Miss Ruth Mervine and Miss Lillian Abrams of Kansas City, will arrive tomorrow to attend the Pi Phi party.
Clem Parker '11, of Kansas City, was in Lawrence Friday night to attend the Pi Phi party.
Asa Black 09', of Wellington, was a guest at the Phi Delt house over Sunday.
The University of Minnesota has abolished the old fee system and established a new system in all of the colleges. One fee will be charged for the entire year.

The University Mandolin Club, which will give a Concert in Chapell Wednesday evening
WILL STUDY CRIME AND ITS PREVENTION
University, Through Professor Higgins, Is at Head of Statewide Movement
FOR BETTER CRIMINAL LAWS
Although Kansas Penal Code is of the Best, It May be Improved Says Professor Higgins
The University has added another to its growing list of activities to benefit the people of Kansas. The Regents at their last meeting authorized Prof. William E. Higgins of the School of Law to perfect plans for the formation of an organization that shall undertake the scientific study of crime, criminal law and procedure, and to formulate and promote measures for solving the problems identified therewith, in Kansas.
The University is connected with such a movement through Professor Higgins, who participated in the formation of a national organization, known as The American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology. He is now a member of its Executive Committee and of the standing committee on State Branches and it is a part of his official duty to procure the formation of a similar organization in Kansas.
UNIVERSITY HAS APPROVED
The University authorities, recognizing the important service of such a body and in accordance with the policy of fostering those matters that will be of direct benefit to the people, has approved plans whereby a state organization with the above object may be formed.
The following local committee to perfect plans and procure attendance has been appointed: W. H. Carruth, George Imnes, F. W. Blackmar, F. P. Smith, Dean J. W. Green, A. Henley, Merle Thorpe, R. R. Price, W. E. Higgins, Judge Hugh Means, and Dr. S. T. Gillispie.
The committee has organized with W. E. Hickins as chairman and R. R. Price as Secretary. Invitations will be sent to citizens of the state representative of the sciences of law, sociology, medicine, psychology, penology, police and philanthropy to meet in Lawrence under the auspices of the University on Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, 1912.
STUDY IS NECESSARY
Concerning the plan, Professor Higgins says: "It is safe to say that this is an important opportunity for direct benefit to the state of Kansas. For some time we have had a period of agitation over matters connected with the administration of criminal law and the treatment of offenders. "A period of construction is required, a thorough, scientific, and continued study of the entire field is necessary—thorough, in order to avoid incomplete and inconsistent legislation—scientific, because measures of actual conditions—continued, because laws are not self operative, and, men must be trained to meet the ever new problems which arise in the actual arrest, trial, conviction, and treatment of offenders.
"Kansas has one of the best codes of criminal procedure in this country and is admittedly free from the technicalities advertised in the newspapers and magazines, yet increased efficiency is always possible, and Kansas is entitled to the best. The University will perform a high service to the state by the successful formation of an organization that will accomplish this."
The Weather!
"Everything's lovely," cooed Baro Meter this morning when interviewed by a Daily Kansan reporter.
Brother Thermo agreed with him but was rather cold and distant about it.
Notwithstanding Thermo's chilly demeanor he agreed with Baro when the latter promised fair weather for tonight and tomorrow.

POOR RICHARD SAYS.
Rather go to bed supperless than rise in debt.
BE KIND TO YOUR MOTHER National Mothers' Day will be celebrated by all the men of this country on May twelfth. On this day all men should remember their mothers and according to the custom established in former years wear a white carnation in their coat lapel to signify that they remember their best friend in the world. If they are far away from home, some token of love would bring unlimited joy to the hearts of the mothers.
This clipping shows what news of their sons means to the mother:
"Honor your dear old mother. Time has scattered the snowy flakes on her brow, plowed deep furrows on her cheek—but is she not beautiful now. The lips are thin and shrunken, but these are the lips that have kissed many a hot tear from childhood cheeks, and they are the sweetest cheeks and lips in the world. The eye is dim, yet it glows with the soft radiance of holy love that can never fade. The sands of life have nearly run out, but feeble as she is, she will go farther and reach down lower for you than anyone else on earth. When the world shall despise and forsake you, when it leaves you by the wayside to die, unnoticed, the dear old mother will gather you up in her feeble arms and carry you home and tell you all your virtues until you almost forget that your soul is disfigured by vice. Love her and cheer her declining years with tender devotion."
MAKING BAD THINGS WORSE
Once in a while something of a more or less unusual nature takes place in connection with affairs at the University. Such things happen at every institution of higher learning. This is perhaps inevitably so at every place where two thousand vigorous human beings live and associate with one another. It is impossible that occurrences of an extreme nature should not happen in such a community.
These things do not occur with the sanction and approval of the University. They occur in spite of the University. But for every such occurrence, some unprincipled writer is prepared to color up and distort the facts to place the story, in truth, far beyond the bounds of possibility. And the University is usually called to account for stories issued in such wise.
It is eminently unfair to the University that such stories should be given out in this way. Even though they may have a basis in fact, they are sure to convey a wrong impression; many people will interpret them wrongly and a stigma will be cast upon the name of the University, though the institution is in no way at fault.
Everybody who loves fair play and who has at heart the best interests of the University ought to be very careful about allowing such misleading stories to get started.
A new custom at Yale will be the planting of an elm tree by each class. The class of 1912 will plant the first tree.
THE WOMEN IN JOURNALISM
Owing to a rule of Columbia University, New York, which excludes women from every department of that school, only men will be admitted to the new Pulitzer School of Journalism when it opens next fall.
There is scarcely a profession these days in which women have not successfully endeavored to fill a place. In journalism women have proved not only their ability to compete with men in certain lines of work but their real value to the profession. Women are doing work in journalism that would be difficult for men to do properly and their presence in the profession has not tended to disturb the salaries naid.
It is admitted that there is not the same need in the East for co-educational schools that exists in the West, for ample provision is made for the education of women in the arts and science. As to the professional schools, particularly in journalism which has but recently been added to the list recognized by ed-icons, it should be known the impartial provision. Women should have an opportunity to compete in any profession with the same training and the same equipment as men.—University Missourian.
AMERICAN STUDENT FRIVOLOUS
The American college man, says a critic, shows little tendency to discuss matters that are worth while. Unlike the English student who airs his views upon such subjects as religion, art and government at his clubhouse or at social gatherings, the American student talks what is known as small talk, that is, he talks about local social conditions, petty personal events or the relative chances of the American who has opinions about things worth while his silent about them when he is among his fellow students for he knows that his opinions will be laughed at.
It seems that men who are preparat it for active life in an American commonwealth would put aside such frivolous subjects as society, clothes and athletics for open-minded discussions of government, politics and business, and to interchange of ideals and modes of thinking, so that all who entered into the discussion would come away better informed—Daily Iowa.
CARD INDEX FOR ATHLETES
H. S. Brooks, '85, a member of Yale's track team while in college and who is one of Yale's Advisory Committee on track athletics today outlined the new plans proposed by this committee relative to developing a winning track team for the Blue. He said:
"At the meetings of the Advisory Track Committee, which have been recently held in New York, many plans were proposed with the object of furthering the general interest in track athletics throughout the university, and of reducing the management, training and accommodation of the men to a more systematic basis.
“The idea of registering the candidates for the team by a card system, which I understand has been adopted, was proposed to one of the previous meetings, but it was still further resolved to emphasize this method of keeping in connection with the men by paying particular attention to the space on the cards reserved for ‘remarks.’ This will be carefully filled out in the future and preserved in order that it may prove of guidance later if the candidate does not at once attain success. In this manner the coach will be materially aided in training a man during successive years. We aim not only to make this year a success, but also to insure the future of succeeding teams.
"Another plan which was adopted for the present season was that of dividing the squad into separate groups and placing each event under a thoroughly competent coach, either an undergraduate coach or an alumnus. It is impossible to expect John Mack to coach the entire squad without active cooperation of this sort."

THE REWARDS O'
Though Not Always Apparent, to the World, the Collegian is Nearly Always a Leader.
COLLEGE TRAINING
From "The American Undergraduate" by Chayton S. Cooper in Century's
College training brings with it responsibility and reward. The responsibility is that of leadership—the kind of leadership which comes to the man of advanced knowledge and unusual advantages, who sees the needs of his time and does not flinch from the hardest kind of sacrifice in view of those needs. The reward is not always apparent to the world, but it is more than sufficient for the worker. Indeed, the American undergraduate is becoming more and more aware that his pay is not his reward. He is learning that the world is not keen to pay the cost of new ideas or to reward professional leadership with material values. Furthermore, his help-paid service does not tell the whole story of his sacrifice. His work is often lost in the successes of some other man who follows him. But the college-trained man who has weighed well these needs, and has deliberately chosen, is not to be pitied. Indeed, it is doubtful whether any one is more to be envious. He is under the impulsion of an inner sense of mission. The college has given him faith in himself and his mission. Many a graduate, going out from a university halls of learning, feel somewhat as Carlyle felt when he said "I have a book in me; it must come out," or as Disraeli enthused in his answer when he was hissed down in the House of Commons, "You will not hear me now, but there will come a time when you will hear me."
The undergraduate, spending laborious days upon the invention which shall make industrial progress possible in lands his eyes will never see, is carried along by an impulse not easily expressed. He realizes the feeling that Robert Louis Stevenson expressed when he said about his writings that he felt like thanking God that he had a chance to earn his bread upon such joyful terms. He has deliberately turned his back upon certain temporalities in order to face the rise of some new ideal for social betterment or national progress. He has heard the gods calling him to some far-reaching profession that is more than a position. There is stirring in him always the sense of message. He has caught a unique life-work. It urges him on to the occupation of his own land of dreams. Is this leader worried because some one misunderstands him? Does he envy the man, who following another ideal, sweeps by in an automobile which perhaps his own particular genius has made possible? The pioneer of letters who has known the sweetness and light of literary satisfaction, the fire freeway of that creative, imaginative activity in which ideas are caught and crystallized in words, does not despair when his earthly rewards seem to tinger.
The college, then, is a means only to the larger life of spirit and service. It exists to paint out the goal of attainment of which lies inherent in the student. The college is like the tug-boat that pulls the ship from the harbor to the clear water of the free, open sea. The curriculum, the play-life, the laboratory, are only torches gleaming through the morning shadows of the students coming day.
BOOK REVIEWS
In "The Prosy Romance", by a Kansas man, Mr. T. F. Sproul, the author describes the manner in which "a lady teacher and a rich bachelor try to harmonize their views on love, logic, religion and sociology."
The story is flavored with a great deal of local color, which makes it interesting to Kansas people. The author's views on matrimony, woman suffrage, individual drinking-cups, pure food, clean hotels, commission government and fly-swatting, all agree beautifully with the wave of reform which has inundated the Sunflower state.
Mr. Sproul lives is Bogue, Kansas, according to an article by Mr. Jay E. House, of the Topeka Daily Cap and spends his winter in Topeka.
The love story "never would be missed," as they sing in the "Mikado." The author tries to give a Dickensian flavors to his characters by giving them peculiar names; Dash Blank for the hero, Lina Gona for the heroine, and Vina Vintage, the heroine's niece, who allows the
Books have always a secret influence on the understanding; we cannot, at pleasure, obliterate ideas: he that reads books of science, though without any knowledge, will grow more knowing; he that entertains himself with moral or religious treatises will imperceptibly advance in goodness; the ideas which are often offered to the mind will at last find a place in it, when it is disposed to receive them.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
hero to kiss her, and then weeps over it.
The scene "in the Dome of the Capital," where Dash Blank and Lina Gona gaze out over the panorama of Topeka, hold hands and talk pure Johosense, is too good to miss. It is equal to the famous stairway scene in "Sapho." The best thing about the book is the name: 444.
SAMUEL JOHNSON
The best thing about the book is its apt and expressive title.
A real book for real boys is "Elliott Gray, Jr." by the late Colton Maynard (Fleming P. Revell company). It is a story of a boy's first year at Arlington, a school with well-established traditions and a system of self-government among the students, which brings out the best in the boys. Elliott Gray is elected president of his class, and proves that he possesses the same powers of leadership that made his father a great man. Elliott meets all emergencies, fires and forbidden cigarettes, mutinies and football, with equal equanimity, and manages his campaigns with the genius of a general. In the midst of these difficulties, the young leader cultivates the school spirit in his class, and makes the class a force in the school. The author has preached a sermon, taking for his text these lines from Kiplinger's "The Brushwood Boy," quoted opposite the first page: "Above all, he was responsible for that thing called the tone of the school, and few realize with what passionate devotion a boy will throw himself into this work."
One of the chapters is entitled "Yale," and through the book, side by side with the olive and white of Arlington, waves the blue penant of Yale. The author, Mr. Maynard, was a young Yale man who died a few years after graduation. The book is to a large degree autobiographical, and although it was left unfinished, at the time of his death the book was compiled from portions of various manuscripts, it is a well-written book, with dramatic situations and cleverly-drawn characters.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale says: "The story is true to the best things in school life." It is to be regretted that the author's death makes impossible a series of books which would have carried Elliott Gray through Arlington and then through Yale.
THE FOOL'S PRAYER
The royal feast was done; the King Sought some new sport to banish care, And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool, Kneel now, and make for us prayer!"
The jester doffed his cap and bells, and stood the唱ck court before They could not see the bitter smile Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: "O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!
"No pity, Lord. could change the heart
From red with wrong to white as
a
The rod must heal the sin: but, Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!
"Tis not by guilt the onward sweep
Of truth and right, O Lord, we stay;
Tis by our follies that so long
We will never leave."
Among the heart-strings of a friend.
"These clumsy feet, still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard, well-meaning hands we
thrust
"The ill-timed truth we might have kept—
We hold the earth from heaven away
We allow flowers still in the milies.
Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung?
"These clumsy feet, still in the mire,
co. crushing blossoms without end."
"Our faults no tenderness should ask,
no tears. Our stripe must cleanse
them all."
The word we had not sense to say—
Who knew how grandly it had
ung?
But for our blunders—oh, in shame Before the eyes of heaven we fall.
*Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;*
*men crown the knave and scourge*
That did his will; but Thon, O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!*
The room was hushed; in alliance rose
the room, and sought his gardens
cool.
And walked apart, and murmured low
"Be merciful to me, a cool"

Everybody knows that fraternal orders perform an important function in society and that they are worthy of the encouragement that they receive. Lawrence has always been hospitable to such organizations and in return has become a large place on the map of fraternaldom. One of the most impressive Masonic temples in the West may be seen in this city. The Eagles lodge has a fine new building. The Fraternal Aid Association has its general offices here, housed in a magnificent three story office building. Other orders enjoy the prosperity that comes with large membership. The fraternal spirit is strong in the Athens of Kansas.

KANSAS ATHLETES WON RELAY MEET
Hamilton's Men Took First in Half and Second in Mile Events
EVERY RACE HOTLY CONTESTED
Luck at Last For Kansas Track Mer When Simons Stumbled in The
Half Mile.
By taking first place in the half mile relay, and annexing second place in the mile event, the Kansas relay teams took down first money at the Drake Relay Carnival held in Des Moines Saturday afternoon.
The scores made by the schools entered in the University class were as follows: Kansas 8, Ames 7, Minnesota 6, Chicago 5, Wisconsin 5, Nebraska 3, Iowa 1, Washington 1. Besides the four University events there were four College and three high school relays.
CHICAGO WON THE MILE EASILY
The Chicago team, composed of Baird, Matthews, Menau, and Davenport, took the university mile relay with ease. Davenport made the last quarter in :49 2-5, increasing the lead Menau had placed between himself and the Kansas men, who were aspirants for the honors of victory.
Kansas started out in a manner that indicated unusual strength, but fell behinid the third lap, and Chicago was an easy winner. The time of the event was 3:25 3-5. Washington was third.
The Kansas runners were Black,
Gribble, Fairchild, and G. Smith.
Nebraska who had been doped to win the half mile event met with hard luck and did not place. Simons of Drake tripped in the first lap and Christman of Nebraska and Morrell of Washington fell over him. The delay eliminated three schools, although a large part of the loss was made up. Kansas came in first, with Ames second and Iowa third. Black, Davis, Gribbe, and Stuckey ran for Kansas.
EVERY EVENT WAR CLOSELY CONTESTED
SUMMARY OF EVENTS
Wisconsin led all the way around in the four mile university relay, taking the event in 18:46 2-5.
EVERY EVENT WAR CLOSELY CONTested Every event was closely contested in some position, the four mile and half mile college relay proving unusually exciting. In the former, Dursey DeMesow overcame a 10-mile race and won the race. In the half mile event Coe and Grinnell exchanged the lead three times, Grinnell finally being forced to drop behind the Coe sprinters.
One mile relay (college)—Won by Coe; Morningside, second; Cornell, third. Time, 3:29 4-5.
One mile relay (university)—Won by Chicago (Baird, Matthews, Menaul and Davenport); Kansas, second; Washington, third. Time.

Half mile relay (college)—Won by Coe, Grinnell second, Highland Park third. Time, 1:38.
4 mile relay (university)—Wor by Wisconsin; Ames, second; Minnesota, third. Time, 18:46:28
DIPPED IN FORMALDEHYDE
Freshman Medics Immense Sophs in Big Baseball Battle
The freshman Medics affixed the trimming to the sophs Saturday afternoon to the tune of 11 to 7. Rivalry was keen and arguments between Captain Johnson of the sophs, and Captain Welsch of the fresh were frequent. Even at this the first year laddies aid the advan- tment of the sophs, but not that the freshmen won because of superior influence with the umpire.
Hite was almost unhitable except in the same name might be said of the proposition.
The batteries were freshmen, Hite and Twyman; sophomores, Johnson and Trump.
JAYHAWKS DIVIDE PIE BUT KEEP FROSTING
Friday's Defeat Spells Satur day's Victory for Sherwin's Ball Players
GAMES POOR EXHIBITIONS
Saturday's Whirlwind Took Low men's Men by Surprise—Ammon scored Three Home Runs
The Jayhawker nine returned from Manhattan with their half of the pie and the frosting off of the Aggies piece. The two games played Friday and Saturday resulted in an even break though the Kansas aggregation can easily raise the highest honors. In the Friday game the Aggies waded into Sherwin's men with a vigor that rather took them off their feet and before they had regained their balance a score of 8 to 2 had been counted in favor of the Manhattan crew.
Saturday however told a different story; with Busick in the box and Ogden picking them off behind the bat, the Aggies could not connect with the horse-hide and the Jayhawkers romped away with a 10 to 2 final, with the game called in the first half of the seventh inning.
SATURDAY'S GAME A WALK-AWAY
The second game of the dual meet opened Saturday afternoon with the Jayhawker slabsters running away away with the Aggie pitcher and sending four men in home by the end of the first inning. The game was played in a drizzling rain and though this seemed to have a disheartening effect upon the Farmers, it inspired the Jayhawkers to such an extent they literally overwhelmed their opponents and kept the spectators busy watching the men run bases.
Busick completely fooled the Aggie aggregation and they were unable to get next to his deliveries for any noticeable gains. The big feature of the contest was pulled off in the fourth act when Ammons bought a round trip ticket and used it for three rides around the circuit. Ammons favored right field in his batting stunts and made the longest of the season. The game was called in the first half of the seventh and five runs that the Kaiser Uniars had scored up were not captured. McCallum was the star of the Aggies, when he knocked the pellet for four bases in the fourth inning.
The score:

AIAYHAWKS LOSE "PEP" IN FIRST GAME Friday's game was an excellent exhibition of poor playing and lack of "pep" on the Jayhawker squad. On the other hand, the Aggies started off in a whirl wind and played in circles around the laggard Kansans. It was not until the fourth inning that Captain Hicks and his men succeeded in sending one of their representatives around the circuit and by this time the Manhattan crowd piled up seven points on their side of the score sheets. Pallone, the Aggie tosser, allowed only four hits during the entire game, while Walker, for the Jayhawkers, let lose of six, besides giving out a couple of passes. The game was played ragedly on both sides, though Coach Lowman's men clearly out classed the visiting nine.
twenty-five students of Bradley Polytechnic Institute were injured while inspecting a distillery. The floor gave way while they were standing around a large vat on the second floor.

OREAD TEAM LOST TO COUNTRY CLUB
Local Golfers Defeated at Topeka By Score of
18 to 5
The Oread Golf Club was defeated Saturday by the Topeka Country Club, at Topeka, by a score of 18 to 5. Nine players represented the local club. The individual matches were, as a rule, close, but only one Lawrence player succeeded in winning, M. W. Sterling defeating his opponent, Dr. West, 2 up, the Nassua system of scoring. Jones, of the local club, halved his match with Morgan, each player getting one point. The other matches resulted as follows: Barieles, 1; Fasser, 2; Kinnear, 2 down to Armstrong; Crawford, 1; Quinton, 2; Patterson, 2 down to Hammett; Briggs 3 down to Cole; A. Sterling, 3 down to Guibor; Joselynn, 3 down to Bowie.
A return game with the Topeka players, on the Oread course, will be arranged again within the next few weeks. The grounds committee is rapidly getting the links in good condition. This week nine new trees will be constructed. The contract for the work has been let, and the trees when completed will add a great deal to the course.

The new score cards of the Oread club have been printed and are being distributed among the members. The holes have been named, the entire course readjusted and surveyed, and the total distance lengthened, now amounting to 2505 yards. Additional score cards may be obtained from the secretary of the club, E. M. Briggs, or from A. D. Carroll of J. G. Gibb.
MADE SUCCESFUL TRIP
Tod Woodbury and William French returned yesterday morning from a four days exhibition trip to Winfield, Sedgwick and Halstead. The athletes "showed off" in each of the above towns for the benefit of the high school pupils and all of the town people who wished to attend. In Sedgwick the high school authorities charged an admission fee and in other towns people help defray the expenses of the exhibition. The other towns admitted everyone free of charge.

French and Woodbury "Show Off" for the Benefit of Kansas Schools
The sprayer was taken to the orchard this morning.
"The sprayer will be used in the model orchardrun by H. B. Hungerford and A. J. Spangler, two miles north of Lawrence," said Prof. S. J. Hunter, of the department of Entomology, this morning. "The machine is equipped with a gasoline engine and tank, furnishing a great amount of pressure. From the tower on it, the man operating the nozzle will be able to spray all parts of the trees in the quickest time possible."
This is the first time that such an exhibition has been offered by the University of Kansas and it was successful in every particular. The boys worked out doors and after going through the stunts themselves, took the different members of the track team and coached them along the same lines. The pole vault, hurdles, dashes and high jump were the principal events worked on.
Woodbury made 11 feet, 4 inches in the pole vault and was unable to go higher on account of the short standards. French cleared the bar in the high jump at 5 feet, 10 inches. His ankle bothered him a great deal and he did not attempt a higher score. However the authorities were satisfied with the performance of both the athletes and urged them to return if the opportunity presented.
MAKE POWER SPRAYER FOR MODEL ORCHARD
No, it is none of these things. The strange red machine with the tank and tower, at the east end of Fowler shops is a patent tree sprayer.

Orders for Yale's spring football practice to begin have just been issued by Captain Jesse Spalding. The entire squad of linesmen and back field candidates will be set to work at first on the rudiments of play, and then scrimage under the new rules as soon as possible, and learn the gridiron as long as weather permits, about a month, it is expected.
For the first time the full resident staff appointed for the fall campain will be present to direct the drill at the spring practice. This consists of Arthur Howe, captain last fall, as head coach, and E. W. McDevitt and Jim Scully, assistants. Scully is a member of the crew squad and will not be able to coach regularly this spring. Jack Field, head coach, last fall, and Dr. Billy Bull, Yale's all-time coach in all forms and varieties of the kicking game, will also be present part of the time. It is likely that, after a couple of weeks' preliminary drill in rudimentary play, some practice games will be played between two eleven.

The official talley in hits and errors resulted in a showing of 22 and 45 respectively, though the spectators said that it was a good game from a beginner's point of view. "Doc" Gruber mired with the batteries as follows: Co-ops: Hite, Wieldine and Moore, Welsch. Knights of Columbus: May and Lynch.

LADIES' HOME KANSAN FEATURE OF KIRMESS
Issue of April 26 to Be Written and Edited By the Girls
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 23, 1912.
EDITORIAL STAFF ANNOUNCED
Beulah Murphy Editor-in-Chief. Hele Hoopes, Managing Editor, Lucy Barger, Business Manager.
Friday is the day, April 26 is the date on which the entire editorial, reportorial and business staff of the University Daily Kansan will be in complete charge of the girls. By looking at the list of notables which have volunteered their services in order to bring out a paper which will be filled with news of the warmest temperature but also one of literary merit, it will be seen that the number will undoubtedly be a good one.
The editor-in-chief, Beulah Murphy, called a preliminary meeting of the staff in Fraser Hall this noon and formed plans, adopted rules and gave instructions so that each girl of each department should know exactly what she should do and govern herself accordingly. News concerning the Kirmess which takes place the following day will probably come in for a great share of the reading matter as it is one of the big events of the season.
A list of the entire staff follows:
Wilson in chief, Roboll Murphy.
The paper which comes out next Friday will undoubtedly be the newsiest and breezest papers that has ever been turned loose on a college campus.

Hand your notices for the "Amatutee Baseball Notes" in the Daily Kansan to the sporting editor or the news editor before publication. The team website, www.kansanbaseball.com, page will contain a complete account of the doing of all the club teams, their games, their challenges and their line-ups.
The teachers from other schools than the University are: Frank J. Miller, professor of Latin, University of Chicago; D. L. McEachran, professor of English; M. K. Campbell, Washburn College; C.O. Hardy, professor of history, Ottawa University; F. A. Braun, instructor in modern languages, Princeton University.
Miss Copley was one of the first to agitate and work for student government and was a member of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, and took part in many of the musical activities she and her family of the late Evelyn Copley, class of 1908.
Mr. Pleasant was a member of the University football team of '08, '09, and '10, being captain in the team of the city as attendant inspections of Kansas City, Mo.
KANSAS IS AS HOT AS SAHARA IN JUNE
The marriage of Miss Gertrude Copley and Mr. Carl Pleasant, which took place April 20 at Miss Copley's home in Kansas City, Mo., is of unusual interest. Mr. and Mrs. Pleasant are both graduates of the University, class of 1909, of which Mr. Pleasant was president and Miss Copley secretary. While in the University they were both prominent in student activities.
The Department of Physical Education held their regular semi-monthly meeting last night in the gymnasium. They have been holding such meetings during the whole of the school year, and it has become the custom to take turns in furnishing the luncheon for the members of the department.
And as Cold as Greenland in January, Says Prof. H.P.Cady
After May 15, Mr. and Mrs. Pleasant will be at home at 308 Brooklyn Avenue, Kansas City, Mo.
Members of Physical Education Department Take Turns in Luncheon.
Plans for the betterment of the department are discussed and various papers are read at the meetings.
Those who have been shivering and talking about the snow and ice all winter, were not so surprised when they learned that our average of sixteen degrees for January, is comparable to Alaska and Greenland and colder than the extreme southern points of South America or Africa.
"Here the isotherm swings southward when it crosses the contiments so it can truthfully be said that Kansas has the climate of 'Greeeland's ice mountains,' or 'India's coral strands.'"
BAD FOR SUMMER STUDENTS
"The Kansas average of eighty degrees is the hottest ten degree isotherm which circles the globe. It stays fairly close to the equator every year except where affected by the large land bodies of America and Europe. There it makes a big bend to the north. It is only the interior of the continents which have an average temperature of ninety degrees during June."
The students and instructors who attended chapel this morning abuddered in anticipation, when they learned from Prof. H. P. C.ady's talk on "isotherms," that Kansas, in June will be as hot as India, Alabama, or the northern boundary of the Sahara desert.
Cheer Up, Though, Weather Changes Even More in Pekin
Every Winter
STRIVE TO VANQUISH THE PURRING TIGER
Professor Cady assured his hearers, in closing, that there are other places on the globe which have even greater climatic changes than Kansas; mentioning Pekin, China, which has much colder winters and hotter summers than Kansas.
SHE ENLISTS GIRLS FOR PHILANTHROPHY
Y. W. C. A. Workers Asked to Meet Mrs. McLean of Denver
Mrs. Lester McLean, Jr., of Denver, national student secretary of the Central Western division of the Y. W. C. A., is at the University this week taking a census of the senior girls who are interested in philanthropic work. At a meeting in Fraser hall yesterday afternoon, thirty senior girls filled out blanks which will serve the National Board at New York as a guide in bringing the graduates in touch with the various philanthropic organizations in the country. Senior girls who do not care to take up teaching are planning to give either paid or voluntary service.
of Denver
"We depend on the college women to carry on this great work," said Mrs. McLean, yesterday. "We lose our jobs and do not have her and her interests."
Mrs. McLean said the girls at the University were the only senior girls in Kansas who were asked to consider the subject.
The old and the new cabinets of the Y. W. C. A. are asked to meet Mrs. McLean at the home of Miss Nadia Thomas, 1134 Louisiana, at seven o'clock, Tuesday, April 23, to discuss the work of the year, past, present and future.
Kansas Meets Missouri Friday Night in Fourteenth Annual Debate
NOT A VICTORY SINCE '05
But Revival of Interest This Year Points to Rebirth of "The Good Old Days"
The fourteenth annual debate between Kansas and Missouri will be held in Fraser hall next Friday evening. The question will be the recall of judges and Kansas will present the affirmative.
Missouri has defeated Kansas in debate five years in succession. Of the thirteen contests they have taken, Missouri has been the only state has had to be satisfied with four.
Debating with Missouri started in 1898, and Kansas got her share of the honors for the first few years, winning in '99, '00, '03, and losing in '98, '01, '02, and '04. Since that time the University has won but once, in '05. Kansas has never been ahead of Missouri in debates won except in 1900, when the University had two victories and only one defeat.
THE GOOD OLD DAYS
The debate in 1905 is the one which is often referred to by the old graduates when they tell about debating at Kansas, "in the good old days." R. L. Douglas of Crestline, R. O. Douglas of Mound City, and Frank E. Tylor of Clifton were the Kansas speakers, and they had the task of convincing the people solved, that the open shop should be maintained by law." The debate was at Columbia, and the judges awarded the decision to Kansas.
REVIVAL OF INTEREST
TALK ON DESIGNING OF MODERN LINERS
The University cancelled all intercollegiate debates in 1906 except one with Baker but the yearly contests have been never resulted in a Kansas victory.
Interest in debating was greater at the University before 1905 than it has been in the past few years, but a revival in interest is quite noticeable since last year. New debating societies have been formed and more men have attended the try-outs. This interest can mean but one thing, the older members of the faculty who are connected with the debating council say, and that is that Kansas is due to commence winning again.
Professor Walker Will Give an Illustrated Lecture Tomorrow at 4:30
An illustrated talk on the design and construction of modern steam ships will be given in the lecture room of the engineering building Wednesday at 4:30.
This talk will be given by Prof. P. F. Walker of the mechanical engineering department, who for several years was a designer at the Newport News Ship-building Company's ship yard at Newport News, Va., and at other ship yards along the Atlantic coast.
There will also be shown, by means of lantern slides, how cellular double bottom construction and water tight compartments have been developed as safety features and how they failed on the Titanic.
The difference between warship construction and merchant types of ships will be brought out.
This lecture has been arranged for by the student section of the A. S. which is open to all students of the U.S.A. are interested in ship construction.
Cornelia Hardcastle, '11, has returned to her home in Emporia after having spent the week-end at the Pi Phi house.
Is Second of Two Volumes on "Truth and Reality"—Will be Finished Next Summer
BOODIN WRITING BOOK;
SUBJECT METAPHYSICS
A new book on philosophy is being written by Prof. J. E. Boodin of the department of philosophy. It is the volume entitled "Truth and Reality."
The first volume which was completed last summer dealt with the theory of knowledge. It was well received by the scientific world and has been commented upon very favorably leading periodicals and newspapers.
The second volume is about metaphysics. Professor Boodin hopes to be able to complete it this summer.
Grad Students Choose Speaker.
Mr. Wilbur T. Tilberg was chosen at a meeting of the Graduate School this morning to be their speaker at the Students' Day Exercises. Mr. Tilberg is a graduate of Bethany College and has had much experience in debating and public speaking.
TO SOLVE PROBLEMS OF STUDENT FINANCE
University to Find Out Number of Students Independent of Father
Letters have been sent by Chancellor Strong to all students of the University asking for detailed information on the amount of money earned by the students and the amount spent by them during the school year. The purpose of the inquiry is to collect information about their priorities and opportunities in their efforts to better the condition of students and increase their chances for self maintenance.
A few of the questions asked are: What is the total amount, earned by you to help pay your expenses while a student in the University, and how? What is the total amount of money you earn while a student, and how? Have you received any assistance from the Y. M. C. A., W. Y. C. A., or University officials in finding employment? What are your total expenses per year? Have you earned any expense money during the summer vacation, and how? Do you receive any money from other students for expenses? Have you any suggestions that will aid the University in rendering the greatest assistance to students who have to earn part or all of their expenses while in the University?
A list of questions similar to the above was sent by the University to the students two years ago, and practically all students sent in answers to the questions. We find that a great part of the students earned all or part of their expenses while in school
LAWS ELECT SNYDER
the election of Students' Day speaker for the law school resulted in the choice of Ira C. Snyder. He received 101 votes and Frank M. Hyams 98 votes.
Student Day Speaker Chosen Oven Hyames by Majority of Three
Hepworth was appointed chairman of the meeting, and the voting was by ballot. The ballots were marked to prevent illegal voting.
One door of the lecture room was locked, the ballot bax was placed by the other door, and the ballots were placed in the box as they passed out. There was a noticeable lack of speech-making which characterized the former meeting.
WILL TALK ON "BEGINNERS
AND BEGINNERS AGAIN"
Dr. Robert Nelson Spencer, pastor of Trinity Episcopal Church of Kansas City, Mo., will speak at the regular W. Y. C. A. meeting Thursday evening on "Beginners and Beginners Again." Dr. Spencer addressed the M. Y. C. A. meeting two weeks ago concerning the social work that his church is doing with people in need. As a speaker Dr. Spencer is earnest and forceful and the fact that he is to come back for another talk shows how his first address was received.
Raymond Malty, a sophomore engineer from McPherson, returned yesterday from his home, where he was called by the death of his grandmother.
ALL FOR THE SAKE OF THE DORM FUND
The Week Night Date Rule Lid Is Non Est for Tonight
STUDES WILL THRONG "JITNEYS"
Nearly $100 Worth of Tickets Sold-
Special Films Have Been Ordered
—Vaudeville Specialies.
The rescinding of the week night date rule by Dean Templin for tonight only, has helped the sales of the Jit- tickets for the Dorm fund immensely.
Yesterday afternoon, the young women made an invasion of the business district and sold a large number of tickets to the business men.
"A great deal of credit is due the girls who have been working so hard for the fund," said Miss Johnson. So far, Bertha Mix holds the record for number of tickets. Her total money amounted to "wenty-four dollars."
The girls have secured a special attraction at the shows, Charles Younggreen and John Musselman, who will perform at the Patee Nickel, and Ben Kiddin, who will act at the Aurora. These men promise to put on something good.
Four good films are also scheduled at the Aurora. One which will be of interest at this time is called "Teebergs in the North Atlantic." Large bergs in the vicinity of the recent Titanic disaster will be shown. Another "The Children's War" film, with Chinese actors, "Rudgrans" a hard colored film showing medieval romance, and "The Infancy of Moses" complete the program.
At Mrs. Pateste, the films shown will be "The Last Days of Nero," a hand colored feature which will be the headliner, a Biograph called "The Man Who Fell to Earth" and "A College Girl," and a comedy film "Archibald Chubbs and the Widow."
Wichita Asks Professor Haworth to Make Survey From Newton
SEEKING A WATER SUPPLY
Not only the small municipautes call on the University for help. Wichita has asked Prof. Erasmus Haworth, as state geologist, to aid in finding a good and sufficient water supply.
Newton's well known mineral springs are just seven miles north of Wichita, and with them as a starting point, Professor Haworth's survey is working south. The object of the survey is to find out how far south the vein of mineral water runs and its farthest southern point will become the source of Wichita's water supply.
Mr. Robert S. Forsythe, a former instructor in English at the University, now at Columbia, has been awarded a fellowship in the English department for 1912-13, by the University Council of Columbia University.
DECIDE LIVE PROBLEMS
K. U. Debating Society Threshes Out Aldrich Currency Plan and Pension List
The judges at the K. U. Debating society last Friday night decided that the government should adopt the Aldrich currency plan, but that our national legislators should "view with alarm" in the system that might be advanced.
The winning affirmative speakers on the currency question were Robinson, Gorsuch and Steinmeyer. Strickland and Hornbaker spoke for the negative.
On the old-age pension debate, M-
Cormac, Oine and Bennett were the
winning negative speakers, and Wili-
sson and R. Soper talked for the affirmative.
The K. U. society-Cooley club debate was announced for May 9, and will probably be given in in the Green ball lecture room.

BOARDING CLUB BASEBALL
BOARDING CLUB BASSELBAL
The baseball "bug," that obnoxious thing of the spring time, has found subjects in the various student boarding clubs. Several of the clubs have already organized teams and games have been played on McCook field.
This marks the beginning of more complete athletics at the University—baseball for every man who is able to get out on the green and use a glove and ball. The University Athletic Association is not prepared to accommodate all of the baseball teams that it might wish on account of the lack of diamonds on which these men can play their games. At present, they have to make an early morning dash for the field and the first teams on the spot are permitted to play first.
However, the desire of the men to play the games will undoubtedly bring improved grounds in the future as soon as the management is able to get the grading done and arrangements made for more complete athletic fields.
With a baseball team representing every boarding club in the University, more than one hundred men would be playing the game for the fun of playing—not resting easily on the benches of the bleachers and watching their varsity players play with the experts of the other universities and colleges, but getting the same benefit for themselves that the varsity men can obtain from their exercise.
To encourage in any way whatever, that it may, the Daily Kansan will open a column to deal with baseball games entirely of a local nature among the students. This column will be called the "Amateur Baseball Notes" and it will advertise games to be played in the future, notes of challenge from one club to another, practice-calls, and the results of all the games. Those interested in the inter-club baseball series will merely call the Kansan office and notify the sporting editor or the news-editor of their games. Such notices must be handed in at the office before half past eleven every morning.
THE STARS
Spring. Night. A High Place.
The south wind, damp with the dewy promise of a thousand flowering trees. The curved moon, gleaming with a luster at once the delight and despair of an artist in fine porcelain.
And then the Stars! Palyel glowing at the zenith, like they are lights. Blazing yellow like trimmed lamps. Leaping-flamed like an single eye through a window across wintry fields, at the horizon; low sunk in the fountains of the night winds.
- * * * * *
Low in the Southwest burns the titan Sirius, monarch in size and brilliancy of all the starry legion. Above him is yellow Procyon, the less fervid imitator of his more powerful brother.
Between them stretch the fields of
Canis Minor and Major, the Great and the Lesser Dog.
North of here, in a region richer in celestial beauties, extends the jewelled band of the Zodiac, the royal road of the sun, and his calmrayed company of earth-stars, that wander steadily among their fixed and twinkling neighbors.
In the Northeast the great Arcturus, second only to Sirius himself, entirely outshines his lesser companions, in Bootes, the star-limbed Huntsman. At the zenith, is that friend of the amateur star gazer, the Great Bear, commonly known as the "dipper." And a perfect dipper it is, too, upside down now, pouring down upon the Earth below whatever of blessing it may hold in its sparkling bowl. The old Greeks called it the Great Bear, and the legend assigned the valiant huntsman Bootes to pursue continually the fleeing animal around the fixed pole, the apex of the northern heavens.
Around the Pole Star, Cynosura, roll once a day the whole fabric of the constellated heavens. Of course, it is your viewpoint that moves, but you never think of that. The Earth of the Race of Man, is your center of the Universe.
And, of course, you know that She doesn't care a rap about the Zodiac, or the Copernican Theory of the angle of the Earth's Orbit to the plane of the Ecliptic, or whether or not Bootees ever catches the Bear. Your astronomical lecture might just as well be a discourse on the respective merits of Whist and High Five.
For it is Spring. The night is clear. The flower-flavored breath of the prairies is cool on your face and sweet in your lungs.
But the material for the lecture must be at hand. The year must be spring. The night must be starry. And the South wind must whisper in the blossoming trees and twist the stray tendrils of hair across Her cheek. Then, under these conditions the Stars are mighty good friends of you tarriers along Life's springtime paths.
GO TO SCHOOL IN SPAIN.
Acting on a suggestion made last summer by Charles M. Strong, instructor in Spanish, University of Washington, the University of Madrid, Spain, will for the first time hold a summer school on the Spanish language and literature from June 15 to July 24. Apparently the idea of the summer school had never entered their heads before," said Professor Strong, "but when I asked them why they did not hold a summer course they decided to use an idea, with the result that they have been working on it ever since, and they have just sent out their advance pamphlets. They have also asked for a list of names of students from American universities who may be in Spain during the summer.
Germany has about 55,000 students in her principal universities. The University of Berlin has nearly 8,000; Munich, 7,000; Leipzig, 4,600; Doun 4,000; and Heidelberg 2,400.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
HARE was very popular with the other beasts who all claimed to be her friends. But one day she heard the bounds approaching and honestly threw him away of his heels, Friends, she went to the horse, and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back. But he declined, stating that he had important work to do for his master. "He felt afraid," she said. "I applied to friends would come to her assistance." She then applied to the bull, and hoped that he would repel the hounds with his own hands. "I am very sorry, but I have a opportunity with a lady; and I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want." The goat, however, feared that his back might do her harm if he took up her arms. "I could not proper friend to apply to. So she went to the ram and told him the case. The ram replied: 'Another time, my dear friend, I do not like to interfere on him,'" she said. "He has been known to cat sheep, as well as hares." The Hare then applied, as a last hope, to the calf, which regretted that he was unable to help her, as he upon himself, as so many older persons than himself had declined the task. By this time the hounds were quite near, and the Hare took to her heels and luckily escaped.

STUDENT OPINION
I would like to suggest to the School of Music, through your columns, that a course in sign language be included in its curriculum, so that, when music students at a concert wish, during the pianismo passages, to comment on the singer's costume, or to identify their favorite first violins, they may do so without disturbing those near them who some for another purpose.

HONOR CODE GETS REBUFF.
To the Daily Kansan:
ONE WHO SUFFERED.
The introduction of the honor system in examinations at Washington received a body-blow Friday, when a class under Joel M. J. Mohanson, instructor in education, was awarded to adopt the gentleman's code on the ground that it was impractical.
"If a man wants to cheat, he's going to cheat whether you have an honor system or not," declared the spokesman of the undergraduates in explaining the negative vote. "I've seen the honor system tried in a lot of different ways, but the only system I ever saw was through the keyhole, on my class on its honor, then left the room and watched through the keyhole, failing those who cried."
The vote against the system was unanimous.

The Honor Court of Ohio Wesleyan has recently tried and convicted a student of the institution for plagiarism. The crime was that of copying an English theme from a book. The student was given a grade of "F" and dropped from the course.
Most of the graduates wait three
most of the days after commencement
before marriage.
Of 4,086 seminary and college graduates 44.79 per cent are married. Fifty-eight per cent of the husbands are college graduates, and the percentage is still rising. Forty-one per cent of the husbands are business men. Seventeen per cent are teachers. Lawyers, engineers, and physicians are chosen about equally and clergymen are fourth choice.
Judging the future by the past, it is concluded that 41.9 per cent will marry. The statistics are divided into two parts, those for the alumnae who graduated between 1889 and 1910, after Mount Holyoke had become a college, and those for alumnae graduating between 1842 and 1892, while Mount Holyoke was still a seminary. The average age of marriage for the seminary graduates was 27.21 years.
According to statistics the average age for graduation has fallen from 23 years and 5 months to 21 years 8 months.
S OME interesting figures have been compiled concerning Mount Holyoke graduates.
The college graduate mother, according to statistics compiled with reference to a certain group, has two children, and more boys are born to college women than girls. No divorces have been reported in fifty years.
Missouri Wesleyan has elected a "Board of Control," composed of members from the faculty and the different societies, which will have charge of all debates and oratorical contests.

For the Scalge. Shonpetina is more
For the Shemale Shopperino is more grasping than the Male.

For to get a polish prilliant and a pinkier finger nail,
For the Lady Manicure is popularer than the Male.
When a lover takes his lassie to a supper on Broadway.
And secures a quiet table at some ultra swell cafe.
She rejoices, he is weary, and his pocket book grows stale.
For the Shemale of the species is far hungrier than the male.
So it goes through all the species—doesn't matter what you do—
Wait, line 4 ends with a period.
The whole thing is:
So it goes through all the species—doesn't matter what you do—
You will find the little shemale is the better of the two.
And, no matter what her foibles or her quality of mind,
You will find her in the forefront, with some male not far behind!

Everybody knows that fraternal orders perform an important function in society and that they are worthy of the encouragement that they receive. Lawrence has always been hospitable to such organizations and in return has become a large place on the map of fraternaldom. One of the most impressive Masonic temples in the West may be seen in this city. The Eagles lodge has a fine new building. The Fraternal Aid Association has its general offices here, housed in a magnificent three story office building. Other orders enjoy the prosperity that comes with large membership. The fraternal spirit is strong in the Athens of Kansas.

Homes as Modern Chimneys
me 160
For the past week the swifts have been wheeling about the University heights. They have been whirling in and out of the journalism building chimney in such swarms that they make a sound like distant thunder. Why they have left their hollow trees and cool open wells in Central America and come back to the dirty old chimney to roost is their secret.
They have forsaken the ways of their ancestors for the smoke-stacks of civilization. When Columbus discovered America the swifts were building in hollow trees. They continue this custom now, only in a few thinly populated parts of the country.
The chimney swift is not a swallow. It belongs in a different order. It is a relative of the nighthawk, whippoorwill and humming bird. Yet its size, its twittering song, and its feeding and nesting habits are very similar to those of the swallow which it so curiously resembles. It can easily be distinguished by its stiff mechanical flight that in some ways is like the motion of a bat; and while equally swift, yet lacks the dash and sweep of the swallow's skim.
GAVE A LUNCHEON
Miss Stevens Entertained For The Christian Science Society
The Christian Science society of the University gave a six-o'clock luncheon Sunday evening at the home of Miss Bertha Stevens for the students and professors who are interested in Christian Science.
A dainty luncheon was served. the favors were printed copies of a C. S. lecture by Rev. W. P. McKenzie and Ivy rolls and tied with white ribbon.
The president, Claude Sowers, announced a lecture to be given under the auspices of the society Friday afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser hall by Frank H. Leonard of the Christian Science Board of lectureship of Boston. He also spoke of the purpose of the society which was organized here in 1908, the outgrowth of a movement started at Harvard.
Miss Stevens spoke of the benefits of the society and Miss Taylor of the associate membership or the society for the post-graduates.

The club has been practising hard all winter, and James F. Lawrence, the director, says that something good will be given those who attend in the way of novelties and some classical music. He says that the club has been somewhat handicapped on account of it being a new organization, but that everyone has worked hard and overcome this.
Student tickets will be good at the concert and it is urged that the students show their approval of this new club, by attending.

INTER-GLASS MEET TO TAKE THE CAKE
Fastest Meet Ever Stager on McCook to Be Run Saturday
MEDALS FOR THREE PLACES
The annual out door inter-class meet to be held at 1:30 Saturday afternoon on McCook field is expected to be one of the largest of its kind ever staged at this University. Coach Hamilton expects to see every man who has ever had any connections with the cinder path game or who has any ambition to be connected with this form of sport in a track suit Saturday.
Also a Cup Will be Presented to Mer
Breaking University Records—
Tryouts This Week
In order that the competition may be stronger in the various events, Coach Hamilton will spend every afternoon of this week giving the men, intending to compete, special pointers on their work. All the men who intend to compete should appear on the stage at the end to get into the best of condition for the meet. All entries must be made by Friday.
The competition in the different events promises to be very exciting. The two mile run is expected to be one of the fastest ever staged on McCook field. Murray, the peer of the two milers of the Missouri Valley, will have to be in the very best form when he finishes the two mile, Edwards, who has been steadily improving since the beginning of the season.
The weights also promise to furnish a keen competition, as Coleman and Butler are showing great form in this event.
The awards for this meet will be the same as those in the Indoor Inter-class meet; gold medals for first, silver for second and bronze for third place. A cup will be given to any man breaking a University record.
The events will be the same as those of the Missouri Valley Conference meets. There will be the 100 yd. dash, 220 yd. dash, quarter mile, half-mile, mile, two mile, high jump, pole vault, discus, broad jump, 16-ft shot put, high and low hurdles and mule relay race.
The meet between the Central high school of Kansas City and the Lawrence high school will be run between the University events.
NO NEBRASKA CAPTAIN
Try.
At a meeting of the athletic board yesterday afternoon a vote for the 1912 football captain was held by the members of the 1911 "N" men present. Only nine football players were at the meeting, not a sufficient number to decide the election, since the team would go through to three for Harmon. A majority of the fifteen eligibles is required by any one candidate for the captaincy.
Team Fails to Elect 1912 Leader Athletic Board Will
It is uncertain just when the football election will be settled, as the matter is now in the hands of the athletic board. This latter body, instead of the football "N" men, will choose the captain. Not enough of the members of the athletic board to constitute a quorum were present before the vote and so no vote was taken. A majority of the eleven members of the athletic board will be sufficient to make a choice—Nebraskan.

MINNESOTA NEEDS PLAYERS
Eligibility Rules Put a Premium on Badgers' Baseball Men
Four more men must be found at the University of Minnesota who can play baseball as the result of the action of the eligibility committee yesterday in which five men of those candidates for the team who appeared before the committee were pronounced eligible to enter conference games. No one from these teams was named. Prof. James Paire, Minnesota's representative in the big eight, ever has played upon the university nine.
Professor Paige declared that the schedule would not be abandoned and that an attempt would be made to find four more men who would be eligible and to forge a team, which is scheduled to be played in about two weeks.
The student vote on withdrawal from the conference has not been completed, but it is said the vote so far has been in favor of withdrawal.
BETAS' GOAT SNATCHED
Phi Delts Tie the Nanny Yesterday With a 13-8 Size Rope
Inter-fraternity rooters were given ample opportunity to do their office, in the third game of the inter-fraternity series, when the Phi Delta met the Beta on McCook and nudged it 13 to 8 victory from them. While it was not a good game from a professional's standpoint, errors were many and team work was poor, nevertheless the bleachers were kept up to the pitch a greater part of the time by the apparent heat of the contest.
The Betas led off by putting a few of Porter's deliveries out in the field and before the three necessary outs had been counted up against them, three of their men had crossed the home plate. Two of them were batting eye open, and dittoed the score off of Householder before taking the field again.
It was in the second inning that the Phi Deltas struck their stride and sent four men around the circuit to the Beta one. With this lead they were able to put the lid on the south Tennessee bunch, with the exception of two runs, until the beginning of the ninth, when the Betas were given a free pass to first and then pooled the pill through the end of the baseline, before the end of the inning had scored two runs. However, the Phi Deltas had managed to pile up six more credits on their side of the sheet before this time and the game was called.
The score;

NEW WORLD'S RECORD IN
ALL-ROUND CHAMPIONSHIP
Princeton Athlete Makes a Score of 7,577 Points Beating Sheridan's Record 192 Points
F. C. Thompson, a member of the second-year class of Princeton Theological Seminary, broke the world's record for the number of points scored in an all-around athletic championship trial held here today. Thompson scored 7,577 points, or 192 points more than Sheridan, the holder of the all-around championship record.
Thompson's record will not stand as official, as it was not made in an official meet. The trial was held under A. A. U. rules, however, and it lacked only official sanction to stand as a record. Thompson has twice won the A. A. U. all-around championship.
Thompson also broke the world's record for the half-mile walk, making the distance in 8:31, but it will not stand as an official record.
FRATERNITY BALL TEAMS
KEEP M'COOK FIELD BUSY
This is the busy week in the interfraternity schedule. The Phi Delts were matched against the Betas yesterday, the Sigma Nu will play the Phi Pis this afternoon and the Sig Alphs will meet the Alpha Tauus tomorrow.
With the exception of the Sigma Nus, Phi Pis and Betas, the fraternity nines are still in the thousand per cent on the road to the championship.
Some of the teams have yet to play their initial game, however, and no doubt the procession will be lengthened before the end of the week.

The athletic authorities have turned over the basket-ball team's red and blue coat sweaters to the members of the baseball squad. These

The freshman baseball team is giving the Varsity daily practice on McCook field. Yesterday only two innings were played and two the freshmen did not have much of a chance, they nevertheless pulled off some pretty cluby plays. A regular practice game will be played this afternoon.

The final line up for Kansas has not been picked yet, but will probably be chosen from Hawes, Nees, Richardson, and Burnett, by an elimination tournament this week. Dope points to a fast game as the Bakerites are reported to be the liveliest turned out for quite a while in that vicinity.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERS SEEING THE SIGHTS
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 24, 1912.

TWO LOST IN THE GREAT CITY
Spillman and Bailey Wandered Away-
Grignard Forsakes Hotel Life For
Calm of Y. M. C. A. Rooms.
The following despatches were received this morning from the Daily Kansan's representative with the chemical engineers on their tour of inspection.
Kansas City, Mo., April 22.—"We arrived in Kansas City with every one in good spirits over the expectation of a fine trip. As is usual with a bunch of students, Professor Whitaker is having a hard time keeping everybody together. Spillman and Bailey became lost in the maze of streets.
"At last united after a two hour search, we set forth to visit the zinc smelter and acid works. A mile-and-a-dime drive from the entrance of the street car line was reached.
"We were cordially received by the manager of the works, Mr. Wheeler, who will be remembered as one of the speakers at the recent Engineers' banquet. Those mortals who believe the fumes in our chemistry building are stifling should have been with us today. The manager took great delight in making us gasp for breath and shed tears.
"At noon, no restaurant being near, we invaded a small grocery. The proprietor, after recovering from the shock of so many customers, fed us on crackers and cheese, pickles, ham sandwiches and pop.
The afternoon was spent in visiting two soap plants, the Procter and Gamble and Peet Bros. Manufacturing Co. with their workers making and making were inspected and noted."
The following students are taking the trip under the direction of Professor Whitaker: H. K. Shaw, C. C. Spillman, C. G. Amstrong, C. J. Pecoraro, C. E. Pajares, J. D. Malcolmson, E. E. Grignard, R. K. Bailey, E. L. Leatherock, C. A. Nash, C. E. Teeter, C. H. Armsey, H.F. Bennett and T.M. Godfrey.
"We viewed the transformation of the bog into the finished meat as it ripened."
Kansas City, April 23. "We spent the morning in the inspection of the Armour Packing Co. We found it to be an immense concern, preparing everything from sandpaper and glue to the choicest meat and canned goods. At the plant every by-product is utilized. This is where the work of the chemical industry goes. It finds new uses for by-products and stops the leaks in the large plants.
"Our afternoon was filled by inspecting the Star's paper mill and the Kansas City, Kansas, water plant, which is transformed into pure, clear water."
"The trip is proving to be one of great benefit to the future chemical industry."
"Many interesting personal items are to be noted. Emile Grignard, tiring of the gay hotel life, has engaged rooms at the Y. M. C. A. R. K. Bailey, not being able to drink water in Kansas City, Mo., set out at Kansas." We expect to see him again so he learning a large demijohn of aqua pura.
"We leave tonight at 11:45 for St Louis."
SPENT A FORTUNE FOR
NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Expenditures Last Year Exceeded All Previous Records in Kansas
More Kansas school boards secured money and spent it for new buildings last year than ever before during a similar period. A total of $1,360,000 was spent for that purpose during the year, an increase of $898,000 over the preceding year.
The total number of school buildings erected last year was 198. There are now 9,912 school buildings in the state with a total of 14,457 rooms.

In addition to the talks a short program of songs and instrumental music by some of the members will be given. Not to be outdone by the engineers the decoration committee will provide electrical effects. The Greek letters Sigma and Xi will be formed with incandescent lights.
Professor Cardiff, of the department of zoology at Washburn, is expected to attend the banquet. He is on the program for a toast.
SOPHS DEFER HANDING
IN DATES FOR HOPH
As in Former Years, Invitation Committee is Obliged to Make Direct Appeal to Class
It seems that the sophomores are having the same trouble about dates this year which has confronted every other "Prom" manager, and are making a strong appeal for those who are going, to hand in their dates as soon as possible. Hopp is only about ten days off and very few dates have been handed in.
"I did not think we would have to do it," said Charles Strickland, chairman of the invitation committee of the company. "But I guess it will be necessary."
According to Arvid Frank, manager of the Hopp, it is going to be the best yet, with some new ideas in the working out of a musical farce comedy and some new features in the Hopp. To get to know these new features make this a distinctive class affair and to do this must have the support of the other members of the class.
Professor Hodder Will Show Cartoons Political cartoons of the middle period in American history will be the subject of an illustrated lecture by Professor Hodder tomorrow after noon at 3:30 in the Greek room to which all who are interested are invited. This lecture will cover the period from 1844 to 1860, following that covered in a lecture before the Graduate club last fall. Professor Hodder has made an exhaustive study of cartooning and has a fine collection of slides illustrating the subject.
"The Hopp will be entirely sophomore" said Frank, "since for the first time the farce has been written and is being directed by a sophomore.
"We thought that wilh the exceptional amount of advertising that had been given the farce and Hopp this year, dates would come in early of their own accord. We had expected to have at least half of the dates by today" continued Strickland, "which would obviate the necessity of following in the foot steps of every invitation committee yet, that has had to make an appeal to the members of the class about ten days before the prom to be busy and hand in their dates. It seems as if we will have to follow the procession, however, as only a few have appeared."
“If the class will only hand in its dates as soon as possible, I feel sure that this will be the best sophomore entertainment ever given.”

Will be Announced as Special Feature of Woman's Kansan—Music and Vaudeville Big Hits
To recite their lessons in the open air, surrounded by no dusty blackboards and perched in no ancient round-back chairs, was the good fortune of Prof. W. H. Carruth's class in the German novel at 11:15 this morning. The class is usually held in the basement of the library, a dark gloomy retreat at the best, but on a day full of sun and breeze and fragrance, positively unendurable.
Though it were for the sake of the dormitory fund, or for the reason that the week night date rule was off for one night only, it is enough to say that the moving picture shows were simply packed last night at every performance. The pictures were especially good and the interludes between the films were filled with stunts by John Musselman and Charles Younggreen.
Ben Leventhal's efforts on the violin at the Aurora were always met with a round of applause and he responded to repeated encores. Musselman and Younggreen at the Pattee in their various acts were good, as they always are, and even better than they have ever been before.
Sh! it's a dark secret, how much money was made for the dorm fund. Miss Delpha Johnson who was the chief instigator of the affair and is now the Chief Comptroller of the Leather Money Bag, absolutely refuses to reveal the amount that said Bag contains. When interviewed in regard to it this morning she said, "We don't want you to but we intend to wait until the psychological moment to reveal it. I will say however that it has exceeded our fondest expectations and we are more than pleased with the outcome."
EPSOM SALTS IN WELL
WATER MAKES STOCK SICK
concentration of Chemicals in Old Wells, Used as a account of Drought.
During the extreme hot weather of the summers of 1910 and 1911 the water in the wells of Kansas was sapped to its lowest depth. Since then, the question of water for the stock has worried the farmer very much. As a last result he has turned to the old well, put down years ago and abandoned when the water in it became unfit for use, even for his cattle and horses.
The water in the majority of the old wells made the cattle sick. To be sure of the contents, the farmers sent samples to the department of water analysis. After a thorough investigation by a. C.C. Young, the samples found a contain Epsom salts, Glaucer salts, and just plain ordinary salt.
The counties in the eastern and northern portions of the state seem to be in worse condition than in the southern areas, with the flowering flowing in good underground currents.

"I confess that I held a class outdoors this morning," said Professor Carruth, when interviewed by a representative of the Daily Kansan,
"but that is no unusual thing. For several years I have held classes on the campus, every spring, when the inside rooms, as you know, become very uninviting places.
One of the interesting specimens in the Botany laboratory is the Burbank Spineless Cactus.
"The German Seminar room in the basement, with its shelves of dusty books, is an especially dreary place, in this kind of weather, and I have no cause to doubt," added the professor, philosophically, "that my students feel the same way about it as I do."
This species of cacti was created by hybridization of the California spined cactus with the Central American spineless. This cactus will prove of great value out on the desert as cattle can use it as food.
Mr. Burbank also hopes to create a plant which will grow in a colder climate by combining the Alaskan and spineless species. The resulting cactus will be very hardy and at the same time make rapid growth.

Zoology Class Does Some Real Field Work With Great Success

At eight o'clock as the last member of the party climbed into the conveyance, the first anxious inquiry was made by Professor Baumgartner, who wished to know whether they had forgotten the coffee. The coffee was there but no sugar.
"Never mind," he said, "if that is what you wouldn't be a 'picnic' without forage."
THE SNAPPER WAS WISE
Many specimens were collected. Spiders, centipedes, queen ants, bees, bugs, larvae, crickets, grasshoppers, fish, turtles, crawfish, and a garter snake were brought back for classification and dissection.
The large snapping turtle must have had a preconceived idea of a seven mile jolt and a zoological dissecting table. He quietly cut his picket rope and disappeared while he enjoyed their mid-day lunch.
Professor Baumgartner's interesting stories of his western trips made the time in coming home pass quick. When the party returned about six o'clock.

GIRLS' OWN KANSAN TO PRESS ON TIME
Editor-in-Chief Murphy Has Assignments Out and Beats Covered
EADY FOR COPY TO COME IN
Editors All Well Fited For Their Jobs—
Few Pikers, And No One Dares
to Predict Failure.
According to Miss Beulah Murphy, editor-in-chief of the women's number of the Daily Kansan, there will be "something stirring" in University journalistic circles next Friday. Already the girls have mustered their legions and armed their cohorts for the big fight with the close-mouthed and the secretive on the day after tomorrow.
"The girls will try to make this number of the Day Kansas a model in all respects," said Miss Murphy this morning, "and that one will reflect no discredit on the literary and journalistic skills of the young women University will be at the office early Friday morning, and expect o be on the job all day.
FEW PIKERS IN CAMP.
"Some of the girls have 'piked,' continued Miss Murphy, and her voice carried a tinge of scorn, "but most of them are working hard and we certainly will be a pronounced success. We know that getting out the Daily Kansan is no child's play, and we are fully awake to the responsibilities that we have assumed.
"It think you can promise," she concluded, "that none of the readers of the Daily Kansan will be disappointed with our edition."
The plans for the issue are practically all laid. Miss Beulah Murphy, the editor-in-chief, has already shown her sagacity and executive ability as a member of the editorial staff of the Oread Magazine and as president of the Women's Student Government Association, and is marshaling her forces with the generalship of a Tecumseh Sherman or a Melville E. Stone.
STAFF CHOSEN BY MERIT SYSTEM.
The staff she has chosen was selected with foresight, as to the ability of each individual on it. Both the editorial writers, Oresta Moore and Genevieve Wells, have already proved their worth as they have written editorials under the supervision of Professor Flint, of the Department of Journalism.
The literary editor, Alberta Cady and her assistant, Anna Manley are both well fitted for their positions—the ormer having written some excellent poetry and the latter short stories for he Oread Magazine.
The News Editor, Ruth Harger, will undoubtedly show great news-gathering ability, as she has been associated with her father, C. M. Harger, editor of the Abilene Reflector, until she came to the University.
It is impossible in this limited space to recount the merits of all the staff but let it suffice to say that they are ill well fitted for their job.
SENIORS TRY OUT TONIGHT
Director Wants Everyone to Bring Something to Read - Play Ready
The tryout for parts in the senior play will be held tonight at 7:15 in Fraser hall. It is the wish of the director that everybody that intends to try out would bring something along to read.
The play is entirely finished and rehearsals will start this week. The date of the play has been changed from May 16 and 17 to May 15 and 16.

VANDALISM
POOR RICHARD SAYS:
They that will not be counseled,
cannot be helped.
Complaints have been lodged by owners of fine large beds of tulip bulbs and others of the list of the early spring flowers, charging University students with thoughtlessly taking, (to put it mildly), the best part of the beds, as the buds are approaching maturity.
Vandalism to a marked degree is shown in the result of the depredations that have been made upon some of the most costly beds on the lawns on and near the "hill." Such conduct should not be tolerated by any of the students of the University, and undoubtedly will not be tolerated when those who have made those innocent, little visits to pretty flower gardens appreciate the attitude of their owners in regard to their taking property that does not belong to them.
Many of the people who live on the "hill" have gone to no small expense in "setting out" their beds this spring and their flowers have obtained by this time a fair growth, although the winter did linger rather long. And they feel some pride in the excellence of their beds—it is a natural pride of many a housewife in her mastery of the gardener's art. Many a woman has talked over the back fence about the prospects of her flower garden and has derived infinite benefit from that gossip. For some people the sight of the beauties of the earth are a joy to their hearts—they love to see them around themselves, in their houses, on their lawns.
And then, when the best part of their efforts spoiled by the hand of an unthinking vandal who merely wishes a passing bouquet for a lapel button hole, it is hard for those people to keep their temper under control and treat their visitors kindly.
One case was reported last week of an individual recognized as being a student who entered a yard containing the best bed of tulip bulbs in a neighborhood near the University and completely ruining the work of that housewife by cutting off at the roots more than sixty of the choicest plants. It was estimated that the money loss to the owner was more than five dollars and moreover the flowers so taken can be of small use to the vandal, because they have a very short life once cut from the bulb.
The brunt of this charge must be borne by the young women of the University, for it is only at their instance that the young men go into the yards and make the depredations.
The personal appeal of those who are suffering this inconvenience, not to speak of the money loss they incur, should be sufficient to stop this practice among those who have been guilty.
WOULD THE STUDENTS USE A COMMONS?
Within a few days, the Daily Kan will attempt, with the aid of its readers, to ascertain just how much a University Commons conducted it
a scientific way to provide the students with board of first class quality-large portions, something that a hearty son of Kansas would find no inconvenience in living on-at price prevailing at the boarding clubs a present, would be patronized by the student-body of the University.
Those who have the welfare of the students at heart at the University have for a long time wished to see a Commons system established or the campus, in a location accessible to all people—a Commons that would, in a large measure, take away that longing in the hearts of the new students for a chance to put their feet under mother's table at home once more. A place where a hearty engineer who works hard all day could get enough to eat with little trouble and the food be of the fines' quality.
However, there have always beer the questions to answer. "Of the seven thousand meals that are served for the people of the University every day, how many of those would be served by a Commons system, in case it were established on the campus? Would the patronage received be great enough to enable it to run and accomplish the purpose with which it was organized? How many of the students would become regular boarders at such a place, granted that the quality of the meals that were offered were as faultless as the chef's art can make them?"
For those who have the money prepared to invest in such a Commons system these questions have always been a stumbling block. From a business viewpoint, the risk is too great to expect an organization of any kind to invest its money in a feature, the use for which there is no accurate data, which the students may make a success or a failure.
Thefore next week, a query that may be cut out of the paper will be printed, in which the students and prospective students of the University may signify their attitude toward a Commons system.
The matter of the Commons for University students is a subject worthy of the students' thought and consideration. It treats of subject matter next to the man's heart and always next to home—good things to eat.
Watch the Daily Kansan for the coupon and the stories telling of the success of the Commons system at other Universities, how they are managed by the students, what they offer on the menus, how they may be obtained here and then you tell us what would be your attitude toward the institution for Kansas.
AGE OF COLLEGE STUDENTS To those who think of college graduates in the figurative view affected by commencement orators, as so many "gladiators stepping forth upon the arena of life," and to many others besides, the ideal age for matriculation into the workaday world would seem an early one, before the full bloom of youth had been coarsened by approaching maturity; that the graduate might step into his field of endeavor as a "happy-starred, full-blodded spirit," all the glow of his enthusiasts and illusions unquenched.
A recent writer in the Atlantic has plead for the preservation throughout life of that subjective youthful

THE Lion once gave out that he was sick unto death, and summoned the animals to come and hear the Goat came to the Lion's cave, and stopped there listening for a long time. Then a Sheep went in, and before she came out a Calf came up to receive the sheep. But soon the Lion seemed to recover, and came to the mouth of his cave, and saw the Fox who had been waiting outside for some time. "Why do you not listen to the objects to me?" said the Lion to the Fox.
"I beg your Majesty's pardon," said the Fox, "but I noticed the track of the horse and I see him hoof-marking and while I see many hoof-markings in, I see none coming out. Till the animals that have entered your cave must also I prefer to remain in the open air."

ness which alone can feed energy and ambition, and make existence always optimistic and enjoyable. Up to twenty-one or twenty-two that youthful spirit is instinct in every heart, and after that only are by possession rigid self-schooling, under the happiest circumstances.
The circumstances of college life are not those particularly favorable to its preservation. They provide infinite gaiety and relaxation, but that is not enough; for every normal being, after the ages mentioned, craves for the maintenance of his self-respect real achievements that are impossible to the mere student. No rave about the campus is so discontented, so inelastic, so fallen into the sere and yellow leaf, as that of the postgraduates. They have been subjected to an academic repression of their faculties and abilities, and have aged far more prematurely than if they had been thrown into the stirring current of the world's activities at the proper are.
Eastern schools have always graduated their students young; before the development of high schools they were often finished at sixteen, and even now most leave at twenty-one. Economic and other causes have pushed the age-average in the middle west higher, and it is but slowly approximating that of the trans-Alleghany colleges.
The undergraduate whom untoward circumstances prevent from graduating at the time when his energies are most ready for self-expressor is endangered in the same way.
The day is to be welcomed when there will be few or none of our graduates older than twenty-one. Such men will then face the tasks of real life with the ability to discharge them "along the plan which pleased their boyish thought," for the hopes and determinations of their boyhood will still be fresh within them—The Daily Illini.

"When a man bakes a piece of clay he forms a thing which is practically immortal," said Professor E. P. Andrews, in a lecture on "Greek Vases" at Cornell University. "Time and the elements have had almost no effect on it in 10,000 years. Every excavation brings to light hard amounts of ligg durability, strength and clean as the day they were broken several thousands of years ago."
"Greek pottery was almost as important a vehicle for art as pottery is today, but naturally we have more of it than of anything else that the Greeks made. Although the potter was considered a humble artisan, the aesthetic sense of the Greeks was so highly developed that even their table utensils in clay possessed an aesthetic character that makes them of great value and interest. This pottery was always formed free-hand on the potter's wheel."
WITH OREAD'S ORACLE
"Almost all Greek pottery besides giving us their sense of the refinement of form was decoated by hand. Therefore although Greek painting was just as highly developed as Greek sculpture, it is to the work of the potter that we must derive most of our knowledge* of Greek painting, sine his work is all that has survived."
Professor Andrews described the different methods of Greek vase painting and exhibited the specimens in the University collection, covering the period form 1200 to 300 B. C. He also showed a fragment which bears the finger prints of a potter who lived at least 3000 years ago.—Cornell Daily Sun

FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
CARL CANNON TELLS
ABOUT THE JAYHAWKER
Days But One Senior Write-Up Was Altered—Book Depends on Artistic Work for Its Quality
The editorial which appeared in the Oread Magazine Friday morning, charging the faculty with cutting out a considerable portion of the comic section, is of such a nature that a statement of fact is necessary in order that the sale of the book may not be injured.
The true facts of the case are as follows. Mr. E. E. Brown, secretary and purchasing agent of the University told the management of the Jayhawker that if a good book was produced this year, it was likely that the University would take a number of copies for distribution among the high schools of the state. They made the offer and it was the option of the Jayhawker management to accept or refuse.
Later proofs of the cuts were shown to the regents, who declared themselves satisfied, and voted to take the books provided a member of the faculty be permitted to look over the copy of the comic section.
Following this offer Mr. Wallace and myself had a conversation in which we decided that if the blue pencil was used too freely, we would cancel the contract with the regents. In the faculty review of the copy, one senior write-up was changed. That was the size of the faculty supervision of the Jayhawker. Nothing whatever was changed in the comic section.
There was no need on our part of selling the books to the University. This year there will be 1050 books published, the usual number, which we are always been disposed of when the cuts and printing have been good.
We wished however to place our Jayhawker in the high schools, and furthermore we believe that a Jayhawk could be gotten out that would be satisfactory to both students and faculty.
Two years ago Mr. Spotts wished to abolish the comic section from the book completely, as childish and a relic of high-school days. Our position is that a Jayhawker should depend more for its popularity upon artistic work, and a history of events of University concern that students care to keep, rather than upon stuff which at best belongs to the public. The reason the board was not encouraged this year to hand in that sort of material, and as a result faculty "supervision" was unnecessary.
This does not mean that the Jay-hawker will not contain a comic section this year. It will have a larger comic section than ever before, and it will contain many new features, particularly photographs but it will not, we believe, contain much that the paper possessed by the papers of the state, and used to injure the growth of the University.

ENGLISH SPOKEN EVERYWHERE
Indian People Not Inferior to Western Races—Religions Are Thick as the Proverbial Hops.
H. C. Herman, formerly general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association at the University, is now religious work director of the association at Madras, India. In this position, he is associated with C. W. Whitehair, former student secretary for Kansas, who is acting general secretary of the Madras Association. Both H. Mr. Herman and Mr. Whitehair sailed for India in January.
Madras is the third largest city in India with a population of over half a million. It is the commercial and educational capital of Southern India and the seat of government for the presidency of Madras.
Herman writes that his work is chiefly among the students of the city, of whom more than three thousand and are within a radius of half a mile of the association headquarters. He says: "Everybody speaks English here; even the coolies pulling rickshaws can understand it. And the way some of these Hindus use English puts us to shame—they are so fluent. The are sharp too, very intelligent and don't care to listen to you very long unless you have something to say.
A CONFUSION OF RELIGIONS
"One is quickly impressed with the idea that these people are not inferr-
able," said John, many ways, and superiors in others.
160
"There is such a confusion of religions, castes and peoples here that it is almost depressing, and I believe it is upon the people too. In walking a block you will meet Hindus, representing perhaps a dozen or more castes, Mohammedans, Buddhists, Christians, men of no religion. The men of the East take their religion, and prepare for their beliefs, but in many ways there seems to be little moral stain in them.
"The Tamil people who predominate in Southern India are rather undersized, studious, kind and really lovable. I have never met a people that have had the peculiar attraction that these people have."
Herman says his work not only makes him responsible for the religious meetings of the Association and the Bible classes among the graduate students, but that he will give instruction in the gymnasium and in all sorts of outdoor sports and edit a monthly magazine. In addition to this he is expected to study half time on the native language.

FRENCH OUT OF BIG PENNSYLVANIA MEET
Unable to Enter High Jump on Account of His Bad
Ankle
William French, captain of the track team, will not enter the Pennsylvania relay meet in Philadelphia this next Saturday. The inability of French to take part in the greatest relay meet in the world is due to a bad ankle that hinders him in his high jump. As was this the only event in which French was entered it was deemed useless to send him.
French's trouble dates back from last summer when his ankle was injured in a fall from a wagon. At this time several ligaments in the right foot were strained and, as the foot was dragging, the strength of that foot never fully returned.
TO CHOOSE FROM
It was about four weeks ago when the final injury, that will keep French out of the meet, occurred. He was giving an exhibition of high jumping in the gymnasium and in one of his lightings, missed his foot hold and

FRATS STAGE COMEDY BLUES' FINAL VICTORY
to Date
11 to 3 for Phi Psis in Ragged Game; Standing of Teams
In a ragged game yesterday afternoon between the Sigma Nus and Phi Pis, the latter finally lucked the big end of an 11 to 3 score and made more dope for the fans of the inter-fraternity series.
The game was one of the poorest played among the fraternities this year. There were no star plays and the entire contest was replete with errors. The Sigma Nus opened up and brought in their three runs in the finish-out, but were forced to take the shut-out verdict for the other eight.
The Phi Pais put up the best game of the two and scored more or less consistently throughout the nine acts. Delaney pitched excellent ball and deserves credit for being about man in the box in either division.
The Sig Alphs will meet the Alpha Taus on McCook at five o'clock this afternoon.
The score: R. H. E.
Sigma Nu...300 000 000--31 16
Phi Psi...120 051 20*—11 4 4
Batteries: Phi Psi, Delaney and
Campbell; SigmaNu, Moore, Rice and
Tymman. Umpire, Plank.
STANDING OF TEAMS
Three of the fraternity teams still retain their 1000 per cent standard, while the others, with the exception of the Phi Psis, are on rock bottom. Most of the nines have only played one game, however, while the Alpha Taus are to play their first game this afternoon, so it is impossible to get any definite dope as to the final results in either series. The standings to date are:

Gets Around Summer Baseball Ver-
tion by Forming "Ineligible" Team
In order that there shall be no conflict with the summer baseball rules recently vetoed by the conference delegates in a meeting at Chicago, University of Illinois students have organized two teams, one of amateurs and the other of ineligibles, or students who have been barred from further playing by conference rulings. A manager has been selected for the "ineligibles" and games will be scheduled with Notre Dame, Michigan and other outsiders, independent of the varsity nine.
Illinois faculty authorities have not as yet made an investigation of the new move here, but it is thought that it nine students want to play ball on Saturday the university will be powerless to stop them. The "ineligibles" lineed up against the varsity today and showed their class from the start, trimming the university representative team, 9 to 3.

One hundred and fifty loads of dirt have been hauled on the tennis courts east of McCook field in order to get them above the high water mark. Heretofore, during the wet seasons, water has accumulated on the courts that has kept them in a soft, soggy condition the greater part of the time.
The courts are still in a rough condition, but will be wet and packed within the next few days so that they can be played in the games with Baker Saturday.

Four Robin Nestlings Consume Several Yards of Wriggling Fish-Lure
The average student draws his fund of information concerning Kansas birds from eastern literature instead of from personal observation. Take for example the most common bird of the camp, the robin. He is continually spoken of as a "bird of the spring," etc., while the truth of the matter is, he is here all winter, but in the very cold weather keeps in the deep timber, and only comes to town when weather moderates. In the New England states, where most of the bird literature originates, the robin is a migrant.
The name of Robin Red-breast is a mismomer. Everybody knows that his breast is not rek, but is the color of an apple that has wintered on the tree. The Pilgrim Fathers called this lusty thrush the name of their own English Robin, which is a much smaller bird with a bright red vest that belongs to an entirely different ornithological family.
Three sub-species of Robins are found in this county. The Southern Robin is a smaller bird that sometimes comes through here in spring migrations. The Western Robin which is a larger bird than our common Robin and has no white spots on his tail, sometimes comes this far east.
Fruit and berry growers in some parts of the country consider robins a pest, kill and eat them in large numbers, yet they are injuring their own cause by so doing, for carefully compiled government statistics on the food habit of the Robin, prove that the immense number of noxious insects and worms that they eat far exceeds the amount of fruit consumed which is only eaten in large quantities by the young birds for a short period.
The nestling birds consume daily a fourteen foot line of worms per nest, or as another authority has computed it, if an average person would eat as much in proportion to his weight as a nestling robin does, he would consume seventy-four pounds of flesh and five gallons of water daily.
EDITORS VISITED HASKELL
state News Gatherers Saw How Indians Publish a Newspaper
While the state editors were in Lawrence attending the meetings of the State Editorial Association, many of them took time to go out to Haskell Institute to see how the government runs things there.
A place of especial interest to the editors was the office of the Indian Leader, the paper published every Friday by students. The newspaper department was recently placed in charge of J. W. Weaver, of the Government printing office in Washington. Mr. Weaver is making several improvements in the plant, and next fall he intends to start the publication of a monthly magazine similar to the one published by Carlsle.
Miss Constance McCandles of Hutchinson, will spend the week end with Virginia Elward at the Kappa house.

SPANISH TUNES AND FUN IN ZARAGUETA
Senoritas y Caballeros Make Merry for Hearers by Being Serious
GIVEN IN GYM SATURDAY EVE
Dress rehearsal for the Spanish play, which will be given in Robinson gymnasium Saturday night, will be held this evening.
Real Spanish Music And Characteristic Folk Songs—Synopsis in English Will be Distributed
The play, "Zaragueta," is a comedy; It will not be necessary, according to those in charge, to understand the Spanish language in order to get a laugh out of Zaragueta.
While the play does not lean towards romance, and does not feature piquant senoritas, there is enough of a love plot in it to satisfy those who wish to see such a production.
Fun is the key-note of the entire action. It begins with the rising of the curtain and continues to the end. The most serious speeches of the characters are the most ludicrous to the audience.
Special features have been arranged for in the way of Spanish folk songs and real Spanish music. Before the curtain rises, Mrs. A. L. will play the Bolero from "Recuerdos de Andalucía," by E. Econ.
Between acts one and two, Howar S. Welch will sing a group of characteristic folk songs to the accompaniment of the soft Spanish guitar.
The play has been under the direction of the faculty of the department of Romance Languages, and being the first Spanish play ever given at this University, considerable interest is being manifested. For the benefit of those who cannot understand the Castilian tongue, a full synopsis of the action has been incorporated in the programs.

SHY JUNIORS SHUN ORDEAL OF POLITICS
Those Soon-to-Be-Salaried Jobs, Editor and Manager of Jayhawker Unsought
Plums are ripe, in the junior class but there are no pickers to harvest the crop. In less than two weeks the election for editor and manager of the 1913 Jayhawker will be held, under the new ruling, and up to noon today no petitions had been presented to the student council.
"The Junior class will certainly have to get busy and hunt up candidates for the offices of Manager and Editor of next year's annual," said Arch McKinnon, president of the student section of the section will be held on Friday.May 10, and will be governed by the council's rules for class elections.
"The chances are ten to one that the offices will not be strictly on the honor basis next year but will carry a salary attached to each. A committee of the senate should be working all the possible scheme, and report within the next two weeks.
"Starting in the spring as these men do, will give all summer to collect their ideas, arrange their book, and make the majority of their advertising contracts. In the fall when they return to school, they will have their annual well under way. They will then have the whole of the fall term to get the views and pictures which at the present time we are unable to obtain. Under the present system the annual is never started much before December first, and studies must be forgotten until the book is completed.

Five Hundred Mandolin Musiusic Bugs Applauded the Concert Last Night
The rejuvenated Mandolin Club gave a concert in Fraser hall last night that well pleased the five hundred mandolin fans who were on hand. From the first "plink" to the last "plunk," there was not a dull moment.
CHANCELLOR RETURNS FROM EASTERN TRIP
The feature numbers, as told in the Daily Kansan yesterday were well received, and were the hit of the evening. The work of the "quintette" brought an encore, as did the string quartette, composed of Hoyt, Stevens, Poland and Brown. James Lawrence's mandolin solo was also encorased, as was Ralph Steven's Viloncello work, and the tenor-mandola sola of Lawrence Morris.
Harold Bruce Hurd, a freshman engineer, received a handsome bunch of flowers from admiring friends.
"I am gratified with the results of the concert," said James Lawrence, director this morning, "and I think that the Mandolin Club is due for an even better reception at future concerts."

TITANTIC DISASTER APPALLS
New York More Stirred up Than
Ever Before—Kansas Graduates in The East.
"The conference was a success," said the Chancellor today, "although the Titanic disaster cast a gloom over the whole proceedings. William P. Stead, who was to give one of the important addresses, went down with the unfortunate ship. New York is stirred up more over the wreck of Titanic than it has been in many a year."
"The graduates tell me that they get homesick for the University and appreciate it more after absence. They find when they go East that it is as well equipped in some ways as some of the older institutions there. The University of Kansas is making an impress on the East, concluded Chancellor Strong, "and is today one of the best known of western universities."
"I went to Boston Monday and attended a dinner of the K. U. Club there. Twenty-two members were present and everyone had an unusually good time. Paul Fragher, who was graduated a year or two ago is president of the club, and Russel Whitman was elected to the presidency for the coming year. Mr. Whitman is now manager of the Boston American, having entire control of the paper.
But One Was Selected A Two O'clock—Chancellor Will Preside
NEED MORE JUDGES FOR TIGER DEBATE
Only one of the judges for the Kansas-Missouri dispute in Fraser Hall tomorrow night had been selected at two o'clock today. The difficulty lies in the fact that several men who were decided upon by the Debating Councils of the two Universities were unable to be in touch with each other, Dante Barton, editorial writer on the Kansas City Star is the man who has been selected.
According to the arrangements for judges, the Missouri Debating Council submits a list of six names to the University Council, and Kansas chooses the three men from this list. When anyone refuses to act, more names must be submitted by Missouri. The list which Kansas now has contains the following names: Clyde C. Taylor, ex-city attorney in Kansas City, Frank Brumback, Elijah E. Thomas, Elijah E. Thomas, Elijah E. Thomas, attorney in Kansas City, and John G. Park, city counselor for Kansas City, Professor Gessell, of the Debating Council, hopes to hear from the men by telephone this evening.
The Kansas debaters, Allen Wilbur and Milton Minor gave their debate last night in Fraser hall against Wayne Edwards and Clem Fairehilds, two members of the debating squad. Although the talks were not public, those present seem to feel confident that the Missouri tiger is due for a defeat when the two teams meet tomorrow.
Chancellor Strong will preside at the contest which will commence at eight o'clock. Students tickets are good for admission.

BISHOP VISITS UNIVERSITY
Rt. Rev. Arthur Selden Lloyd of the Episcopal Church Here Today
The Right Reverend Arthur Selden Lloyd of New York City, president of the Board of Missions of the Episcopal church, is in Lawrence today, visiting the University. Bishop Lloyd was elected Bishop of Virginia in 1909 and was made president of the Board of Missions in 1910. It is said that to Bishop Lloyd more than to any other one man is due the very marked increase in the missionary activities of the Episcopal church, both at home and abroad, during the last ten years.
dishop Lloyd will attend the Y.M.

evening.
AD BAN APPLIES ONLY TO COUNCIL ELECTION
Campaign "Literature" and Advertisements Permitted at the Other Elections
The announcement made in the Daily Kansan two weeks ago concerning the prohibition of campaign "literature" and political advertisements does not apply to other than the student council elections.
"We are trying to keep the council elections out of politics," said Arch MacKinnon this morning, "and to accomplish this we are prohibiting a printed party ballot at that election. Each man must run on his personal merit alone.
"I wish the men to understand about the coming election, and I make this statement at this time on account of the misunderstanding that has arisen because several persons thought that the restriction of campaign "literature" as published in the Daily Kansas applied to all elections.
"In the first place, the Men's Student Council does not intend to restrict the use of sample ballots, or other dodgers at the athletic election.
"While on the other hand, the student council election has always been an election of individuals, and we wish to make it remain as such and also out of politics, as far as possible. We want to make it possible for any and every man of ability to come out and run for any of the offices without being connected with an organization of a political nature.
"Each man is out for himself, and as an individual, he can have cards printed announcing his candidacy, and may circulate them. What we will not recognize is a ticket or sample ballot."

MASQUE CLUB WILL NOT PLAY ON MAY 4
High School Visitors Will See "Billy" in the Gym Instead
THE STAR HAS ANOTHER DATE
But Thesipians Are Willing to Present "Billy,"—Scenery is Promised, so The Show Will go on.
Manager Wilson of the Masque Club announced today that it would be impossible to give the "Lottery Man." May 4 for the high school visitors.
The Student Council has asked the Thespian Dramatic club to produce "Billy" instead of the "Lottery Man."
"Fay Chisham, who plays one of the principle roles, refused to take part," said Bunny Wilson. "She has another engagement for that evening. It would necessitate about fifteen or twenty rehearsals, with another person in her part, to get the play into shape. At this time the cast does not have the time to spend on so many rehearsals."
Ike Lambert, manager of the Thespians announced this afternoon that the scenery used in February can be secured from the Willis Wood theater Kansas City. The play will be presented if the cast can be assembled.
The club will hold a meeting tonight to decide definitely about the matter.
DR. R. K. DUNCAN WILL PRESENT EXTENSION PLANS
$25,000 in Industrial Fellowships to be Given if Separate Building is Erected.
Dr. R. K. Duncan will be here next week and at that time will formally present to the regents of the University department of industrial research.
Additional industrial fellowships to the amount of $25,000 will be given out dependent on the erection of a separate building for this department of specific industries. The proposition which Dr. Duncan makes is that these additional fellowships will be given if the Board of Regents will agree to the erection of suitable laboratories costing not to exceed $20,000. A portion of the regents favor an appropriation for such a building and a recommendation to that effect is expected at the meeting of the board which will meet at Pratt, Kansas probably next week.
Dr. Duncan proposes to develop some of the resources of Kansas which have not hitherto received the attention of skilled chemists. If suitable facilities can be secured it is his plan to scientifically conduct a state wide research into Kansas products.
It all depends on the action which the regents take as to whether or not the University of Kansas will get this large addition to their already wide field of labor and it is not likely that the proposal will be turned down.
Dr. Duncan is expected to arrive here the first of next week. Dr. F. W. Bushong who is in charge of the department here has received a telegram from him stating that he will give a lecture at Princeton University this evening on Industrial Pellgrane that he will present exact day he would be here. He will remain about ten days when he comes.

THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1912.
POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Experience keeps a dear school;
but fools will learn in no other.
POLITICS
Believing that the undergraduate paper should aid the student-body for which the paper is published, in the selection of their officers for positions on the Student Councils, the Athletic Board and, this spring, the editors and manager of the 19'2 Jayhawker, the Daily Kansan will open its columns next week for statements from all candidates who are running for office subject to election by the students.
Some limitations must be placed upon the character of the statements published for the various candidates though. The statements should, in order that the Kansan may print them, contain no libelous references to other men in the field who are competitors for the same office. The editor will reserve the right to expurgate all such matter from the write-ups handed to him and then publish the statements, with the consent of the candidate signing it.
Announcements for officers on the Men's Student Council will be limited to two hundred words and those who are candidates for membership on the council will have to condense their communications to one hundred and fifty words.
The first installment of such announcements will be published in the paper Friday evening May 3. All communications should be handed to the editor before six o'clock Thursday evening.
The men entering the race for the editorship and manager's job for the Jayhawker will be allowed two hundred words to tell why they should be elected and what they will do if they are put into the offices, and likewise the men who are running for office on the Athletic Board.
CHILD'S PLAY
What's the use?
Here the men have been trying with all their might, have stayed up nights, lost sleep, funked classes and possibly everything else detrimental for the undergraduate in college, all to put out a daily paper at the University—and now they are pushed aside by the young women who will show them just how a paper containing matter most interesting to the students should be published.
Why, even the editor, or editors, says in an interview to one of the mere men reporters "Oh, we know it's no 'child play' to get out the Daily Kansan," but—well we can just infer "You just watch us."
Any of the men who have been working on the students' paper for the past three months agree heartily with anyone who says it's no child's play to put out a paper. Many are the sleepless nights in which they have tossed and turned trying to think of a new field to uncover that would yield stories to make the columns of the paper interesting. The men are all amateurs yet, and their ability to see the news sources is yet undeveloped, but there are those eighteen columns every day which have to be filled with live stories reflecting undergraduate life at the University.
Then after the sheet is off for the day, the editors merely grumble and turn about in their chairs to begin the making of the next paper, till six o'clock sends them to their boarding clubs for supper. There sitting on the porch waiting for the tardy supper bell to sound, the boy brings the paper to the house, and someone picks up the concentrated effort and work of many serious minded students to read the news.
"What's in the paper tonight?" someone, half curious to know what is going on, asks.
"Nothing much, just a lot of 'filler,' " that bright discerning student who has perhaps translated three whole pages of German or gone to the nickle shows that afternoon, replies, and then the editor cannot help but laugh and think, "What is the use?" However, the young women's number will change all this. Every word

President Lowell of Harvard University, in his annual report, analyzes the choice of electives by students now entering. Learners are coming, more that formerly, from high schools and from a wider range of the United States and other countries.
FOR CONCISE THOUGHT.
Economics leads. History comes next. Language and literature follow. Then come the natural sciences, with engineering dominating in this group.
Last are the classical languages and mathematics. Of the fewness of the men who concentrate in this last group President Lowell does not hesitate to say that it is deplorable. Nor can it be denied. A generation of which only two per cent of the young men wish to know aught of the literature and philosophy of Greece and Rome, and of which even fewer care to undergo formal education though taught and character of pursuit of mathematics and the mental objectivizing which is involved therein, is bound to be rootless, under the domination of the contemporaneous, and unduly subjective in all its judgements.
Nor is there much doubt but that the formlessness and slovenliness of a vast amount of contemporary speech-making and magazine literature is due to the refusal of the speakers and writers, when they were collegians, to submit to the rigorous weighting of their statements that are involved in mastery of the speech of Demosthenes and Cicero, Plato and Horace.
A reaction from the exclusive claims once made for the classics was bound to come. Compulsory drill and concentration upon them no doubt was made impossible by the ideal of student liberty and the immense widening of the curriculum of a university during the nineteenth century.
But it is not time for a reaction against the reaction? Knowledge of economics is useful, and the world has need of engineers.
But it needs sound ethics and philosophy more than it does aught else; it needs beauty of style in speaking and writing as well as precise information and sound counsel. The modern world has vastly better raiment, shelter and dietary that the ancient world. Enormous ranges of information have been disclosed to the inquisition. Much wisdom that formerly was the possession of the few is now at the service of the many. Literature, art, statecraft and ecclesiastical administration are all being democratized.
But some skeptics venture to question whether the modern man has the moral depth of his ancestors, the mental toughness and sinew, the serious contemplation of eternal things. Concentration of youth on economics never saved a nation in the past. Nor will it now. - Christian Science Monitor.
LION once fell in love with a beautiful maiden and proposed marriage to her parents. The old people did not know what to say. The young men could not resist to the Lion, yet they did not wish to erage the King of Beasts. At last the father said: "We feel highly honoured by your Majesty's proposal, but you see that your majesty should have been tracted, and we fear that in the vehemence of your affection you might possibly do her some injury. Might I venture to suggest that your Majesty should have been tracted, and we fear that in the vehemence of your proposal again." The Lion was so much in love that he had his claws trimmed and his big head taken out. But he was still required to take on the of the young girl they simply laughed in his face, and bade him his worst.

OWEN JOIHNSON TALKS
ABOUT HIS CRITICISM
—Yale Record.
When Owen Johnson, the writer of stories and plays, took Dink Stover, the "Varmint," her of his Lawrenceville story, and entered him as a freshman at Yale, it was immediately apparent that he proposed to make the sequel a serious commentary on the undergraduate life at New Haven.
ABOUT HIS CRITICISMS
But the current installment of the serial, appearing in the April issue of McClure's Magazine, is far more than that, for it contains a vigorous arraignment of the whole schemes of social organization as it exists in the large colleges of the East, an attack that will probably receive wide discussion, coming as it does, not from the outside, as in the case of the Crane criticisms, but from one who was an active undergraduate at Yale in the class of 1900, and who loved and loves that college dearly.
The burden of the criticism is that the social organization of the colleges has so overwhelmed them that the intellectual life has been choked out.
Since "Stower at Yale" purports to be fiction, the criticism, for the most part, is put in the mouth of one of the characters, Brockhurst, who delivers it vigorously to a pipe-smoking roomful of dazed companions.
It is understood that the character of Brockhurst, who goes through Yale stubbornly independent of the whole social scheme of things, was drawn in no small part from one Hunt, a classmate of Mr. Johnson, who later became the fighting District Attorney of St. John's College, whom Mayor out there. It was not hard to guess that Brockhurst, however violently, was stating Mr. Johnson's own point of view—not his whole point of view, but one with which he thoroughly sympathizes. He confirmed this suspicion yesterday in the course of an interview.

them, you can at all times enter the

Do read good books
—ANDREW LANG.
of being regarded as an intellectual opportunity, college life has been regarded as a social experience. The undergraduates have organized college life and run away with it
"The fraternities and secret societies, which were formerly intellectual in their purpose and leanings, were the convenient instruments at hand when the great social struggle overthrew them. They were supported in opposition to the spontaneous democracy that finds its natural leaders and natural groupings. With the social movement in possession, everything became closely organized, for the sake of the gradations and positions which organization gives.
HOW FRATERNITIES EVOLVED
"The organization chokes out everything else. It is all-absorbing. Do you know that last year of the forty men who went out to 'heel the Yale News at the fiercest part of the competition, some had to drug themselves to keep going, and this year, the dean tells me, they had to put the competitors on their oath not to work for the News between midnight and 7 in the morning."
"Face to face with the social movement, the authorities perceived a different body before them. At first they sheltered themselves behind the convenient excuse of non-interference with undergraduate activities, and so allowed the social system to assume the proportions of a property institution. The property so owned at Yale alone is valued at $1,000,000. Instead of taking drastic measures, they allowed the system to build up to a strength that would make any university head quail. To them it is as the tariff question to a republican state. They afraid to teach it, and while they know and must admit that the men learn nothing and are only bluffing their way along, they find what comfort they can in talking of natural American ambition and calling the college a 'school for character.'
Mr. Johnson, who is making a special study of the problems outlined in "Stover at Yale" was not ready to discuss the remedy.
"I believe the treatment need not lie in surgical operations, so to speak he said, "and I believe it will be along with of a raised standard of scholarship."
ATHLETICS A DEMOCRATIC FORCE
Owen Johnson is the son of Robert Underwood Johnson, editor of the Century Magazine. He went to Lawrenceville, as Stover did, and in Yale he was the Chairman of the Yale Literary Magazine for the class of 1900. He is a member of Alpha Delta Phi. One of his more recent literary productions was the English version of "The Return from Jerusalem," used by Mme. Simone during her recent engagement at the Hudson theater. In all his criticism and comment on the colleges, this critic has nothing to say against the oft-attacked athletics.
"They're the great leveler," he said when it was pointed out to him. "They're the one democratic force at work.
"Well, I don't know," he said. "A French or German university man would have answered them all. It would been primer stuff over here."—The New York Times.
Mr. Johnson was asked if he did not think the questions fired by Brockhurst rather too stiff, rather too erudite, for a fair test.

Everybody knows that fraternal orders perform an important function in society and that they are worthy of the encouragement that they receive. Lawrence has always been hospitable to such organizations and in return has become a large place on the map of fraternaldom. One of the most impressive Masonic temples in the West may be seen in this city. The Eagles lodge has a fine new building. The Fraternal Aid Association has its general offices here, housed in a magnificent three story office building. Other orders enjoy the prosperity that comes with large membership. The fraternal spirit is strong in the Athens of Kansas.

Bluebirds Such Valuable Insect Killers They Are Encouraged to Remain
160
There are intelligent people in this world who do not know a Blue-bird from a Blue Jay. There are even some people in the University who wonder what those funny bits of about on top of iron bars placed about the campus are. How could a bird as big as a Jay get into a nest so small? asked a student, when he had been told that it was a Blue-bird's box.
People who have never heard the etheral music of the Bluebirds colliar harp, mingled with the sighting of the cool notheast wind, are the only ones who ask, "What is a Bluebird? Why those boxes?"
The Bluebirds have been treated well at the University. The cat and snake proof nests were Professor Steven's idea. The birds have applied them, for scurvy were they put in place before the birds took possession.
It is important that the birds be encouraged to nest in Kansas as it ranks high from an economic view point. The bird is a resident here, so it is at hand and prepared to get the early spring insects before they have time to multiply. This makes him of far greater value than the later birds that arrive with the warm weather, when the countless swarms of insects are beyond the control of bird or man. Millions of dollars may be saved for the farmers if these birds are properly encouraged to remain in the state.

Dr. Bumgardner Presents University with Two Valuable Collections.
Dr. Ed Bungardner of Lawrence presented to the University library last week two collections of French books.
GIFT OF FRENCH BOOKS
One of the collections is by Massillon, who prechaed the funeral sermon of Louis XIV, the other by Fleicher. Both Massillon and Flecher were sacred orators of the early part of the eighteenth century and those consecrated orations, which were prominent in literature at that time.
FREDERICK CORYDON
SIMPSON, '93, IS DEAD
These collections are a valuable addition to the French department, on account of their age and contents.
Following an attack of Cerebro-
Spinal Meningitis, Frederick Corydon
Simpson, purchasing agent of the
Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company,
forty-two years old, died in
1912. After an illness but of two days,
Mr. Simpson was born in Pava, Ill., August 1, 1869, the son of the late Judge N. P. Simpson, Circuit Judge of Ninth District, Kansas. He graduated from the Kansas State University in the course of Electrical Engineering in 1893. While at the University he became a member of the Alpha Nu Chapter of the Beta Theta Pi.

MANUAL TRAINING
HIGH TO COST $60,000
Increased Enrollment Necessi tates New Building at Winfield--Start at Once
By Paul Wilson
Winfield High School, April 24—The school board has completed arrangements for the sale of the lots on the east of the present school building and as soon as it is deemed advisable will begin the erection of a new manual training building. The present building which was built two years ago is now inadequate and as the enrolment next year will be at least fifty more than that of this year it was thought best to secure the ground now. The cost of the building will be about fifty or sixty thousand dollars.

Captain French who has been secured as coach for this school for next year was pleased with the showing made by the school.

Says he Might Have Been a Great Detec-c-itive Instead of a Professor
William J. Burns, in addressing the Harvard students in the Union the other day, urged college men to consider the detection and prosecution of crime as a field of endeavor open to many who turn to the less lucrative professions of law and medicine.
"Prof Muensterberg," he said, "is handling, in theory, exactly what I am dealing in practically every day. My work requires the closest attention to the mental processes as well as the working processes of the criminal. Prof. Muensterberg's work has impressed me since that I used it, and whether he would take it as a compliment or not, I am of the opinion that he possesses every qualification necessary to have made himself a great detective if he had chosen to do so."

AGGIES COME HERE TO BLEED JAYHAWKS
Are Expecting to Revenge their Defeat of Last Saturday
DO AGGIES PLAY IN LUCK?
Opinion of Local Fans That Jayhawkers Can Take Both
Games.
If J. Pluvius will only postpone his show for about two days and Father Sol will take the center of the stage, the fans at the University will have an opportunity to buy grand stand seats and watch a mixup that promises to be among the most exciting of the baseball season.
Tomorrow morning Coach Lowman and his squad of slabsters will arrive in Lawrence with bats in their hands and blood in their eye. The Aggies are coming into the enemy's camp to play two return games with the nine that made an even exchange with them last week on their own diamond, and this time their prophecy is that they will not even echocardiogram honors, but that the laurels will all be carried back to the Manhattan rooters. The only trouble with this argument is that the Kansas boys are holding just the opposite, and that is the reason why the contests will be interesting.
CHANCES FOR FARMER VICTORY
The chances for the Aggies to make good their boast tomorrow and Saturday look pretty good. Last week they had the first defeat of the season administered to them, and this by a team that they had given the same dose to the day before. Previous to these games, both Missouri and Baker had been humbled before the Farmer's decisions and chances for a victorious season looked particularly bright.
And yet the question is arising in the minds of the local fans whether or not the Aggies have been playing in plain, pure, unadulterated luck. Billings, the wearer of the big mit for the Farmers, is conceded to be one of the best catchers in this part of the country, besides having an excellent eye for watching the pellet when he is at bat. But he is only one man and the Jayhawk aggregation is not losing too much sleep over him.
JAYHAWKER NINE SEES SUCCESS
On the other hand, Sherwin has got his men into first class shape, they are playing great team work and, in practice, the wielders of the ashen club are smashing them out in a fashion that makes even the "old fans" lean back in their seats and let a self satisfied, confident smile spread over their face. In fact the team feels sure of being able to take both hands in the right way much trouble. So the results are to be watched with keen interest and if the diamond remains in good shape, some claszy manipulations of the national game are sure to be seen on McCook Friday and Saturday.
The batteries have not yet been announced, but in all probability Walker and Ogden will be supported by the Kansas nine, while Pallon and Billings will represent the Manhattan crew.

BALL PLAYERS HARD 300 MEN REPRESENT TO BRING AROUND HIGH SCHOOLS MAY 4
Professionals Take Time in Signing Contracts; How Mack Got Collins
Connie Mack tells in the current number of the Saturday Evening Post how she dragged Eddie Colin out of college into professional base ball. Collins, who plays second base for the Philadelphia team without a peer in the major leagues today.
People have the impression that all a manager has to do in securing young players is to mail them a contract and they will jump at the chance to sign it. Sometimes, however, managers have to wait over a year before they give him to sign.
Eddie Collins was playing with Columbia University when Connie Mack discovered him. Collins was slated for captain of the 'varsity nine of Columbia the next year and refused to sign, because he was afraid it would affect his amateur standing. Mack advised him to return at the same time kept in touch with him, and Collins signed as soon as he was graduated.
Mack gets a good many players through what he calls his correspondence bureau. This bureau is largely recruited from old ball players, men whom he has played with and met on the diamond. The list has grown because Mack has never turns down a ball player. He tries to accommodate all comers and in that way has made a great many friends.
Every man who has come into con-
tact with Connie Mack, whether a ball
player or not, awards by him and is
played on the court. The best ball

Entries an Increase of 100 Men Over That of Last
Year
Judging from reports and entries already sent in Coach Hamilton is expecting at least three hundred track men to compete in the ninth annual Inter-scholastic meet to be held on McCook Field May 4. This will be an increase of one hundred men over that held last year.
This group of men will include representatives from nearly all the schools of this state. An example of the interest displayed in this feature high school event of the year is shown by the fact that many schools with but an enrollment of fifty scholars will be represented.
Not only does Coach Hamilton expect that this enormous crowd will be entertained by the students of this University, but in addition they will have the keys of the school handed to them figuratively speaking. In order to ensure that the high schools will send in their entries as early as possible in order that arrangements may be made for their entertainment.
It is understood that in addition to the students of the University the Merchants Association and the Commercial Club of the city of Lawrence are planning to assist in the entertainment.
HAND BALL SHARKS NEED MORE COURTS
ALPHA TAUS TAKE GAME
Defeat Sig Alphas in Fraternity Series by a Score of 14.8
11 to 3
Interest in Slap-ball Game Has Caused a Shortage of Courts
The fraternity teams are still cavorting on McCook and yesterday afternoon the Alpha Tauus galloped around the Sig Alphas at the end of the seventh inning with a 11 to 3 record.
The game, scheduled to be a good one, fell rather short of the expectations of the assembled fans on account of the lack of "pep" in the Sig Alph nine. Heretofore during the season they have put up a fast, classy game, but yesterday not only was their batting eye on the blink, but their fingers also were in a bad way. When a fly lit in the outfield, and there were not a few of them, the Sig Alphs experienced both difficulty in waylaying them, and also in relaying them back to the infield.
"The University must have a new supply of hand ball courts." This was the ultimatum of Dr. Naismith this morning after varily endeavoring for the last month to accommodate the growing interest in the slip-hall game. At present the University has but four hand ball courts and as there are too many, the vast majority of thoseists of the game, one can easily see the need of a supply of new courts.
Dr. Nalsmith in speaking of the sudden interest displayed by the students in this game said that it was due to two reasons, one, to exercise acquired in an interesting way and the other, the simpleness of the apparatus and the small number of players required for a game.
To accommodate this crowd of would-be ball hail sharks, it is the present intention of the Athletic management to build six new courts south of the gymnasium, that is if money can be secured for the cause. This will be done by leveling off the ground and making a cement floor with a cement wall to bat the ball against. If this is done, the ability to whiff an ocular ball will be realized.
It was the initial appearance of the Alpha Taus and from their actions they are going to be in a close race for the pennant. Stotts, the only south-paw in the league, threw good ball throughout the game and his followers supported him in fairly good shape. Though the A. T. O's did not make any long drives, they connected with the pill time and again for one and two sacks and then or were brought in for the score.

How to Teach Spelling
From experiments made in the teaching of spelling at Teacher's College in New York, it has been found that teaching of the class study types is more affective than separate and independent study types.

PLAY KICKERS HANDICAP
New Tournament to Be Staged by the Local Golfers on Saturday
The Kickers' Handicap tournament will be the first of its kind ever staged by the club. In this tournament each man is allowed to name his handicap, the object being so to handicap himself so that he will be able to make the course in about eighty or ninety strokes. A number will be drawn from a box containing slippers from eighty to all the slippers and the nearest to the number drawn is the winner. In this way every contestant has an equal chance.
The Oread Golf Club has decided to stage a Kiekers Handicap tournament next Saturday, instead of a Call Your Club tournament, which was originally planned for that date. This substitution was made on account of the fact that under the original plans it was intended to stage that form of a tourna- tion on account of the meet at Topela they were forced to change their plans.
At least thirty entries are expected to be in the tournament, as the course is in the best of shape. Six new tees and two pairs are needed to make the tournament more regular.

Possessed with the feeling that judges should be recalled, the Oreaders, Milton Minor and Allen Wilber, will step upon the platform of the chapel this evening at 8 o'clock in Fraser hall.

EED THE HUNGRY IS THE COMMANI
Honorable Frank L. Martin Says Domesticity is the Best Policy
(By Lucy A. Barger)
"As to choosing an occupation," said Hon. Frank, L. Martin of Hutchinson speaking in chapel this morning, on, "The Pursuit of Happiness." "I can tell you young women in a very short time what yours is. Somewhere in the good book it is written 'feed the hungry'; that is the best advice I can give you, and" he continued "young men I know of no better to give you." Mr. Martin emphasized necessity for your education, so an occupation that will produce something for the benefit of humanity, of choosing an independent occupation. "There is no such thing as making men and women independently by law," he declared, "just now obedience to law is far more important than law making." "Above all your occupation must be an honest one," said Mr. Martin taking from his pocket a clipping from a recent issue of the Daily Kanan regarding dishonesty in weights and measures found by state officials. "This is one of the best headliners I have seen for some time, but after the state gets all these scales fixes up perfectly honest, I am thinking."
"This is one of the state leaders I have seen for some time, but after the state gets all these scales fixed up perfectly honest, I am thinking it will have to employ officers to watch the men use the scales."
In conclusion Mr. Martin said, "I have always found that honesty is best olicity even in my business," and Mr. dartin is a lawyer.

In order that the men, as well as the women, may have a share in welcoming Miss Addams, the Douglas Equal League has withdrawn its claims in favor of the women of Lawrence who will have charge of the lecture.
To form a committee to make final arrangements for Miss Addass's visit one representative will be appointed from each woman's organization in Lawrence and at the University. This will include the Federation of Women's Clubs, and all other literary clubs, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Women's Relief Corps, the Equal Suffrage League, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and the women of the G. A. R. At the University, the women's organizations will be represented, the ladies of the faculty, the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, the Women's Student Government Association, the Young Women's Association, the Women's Athletic Association and the College Equal Suffrage League.
Mr. Bowersock has offered the committee the use of the new theater for its opening season.
REFUSE TO GIVE "BILLY"
An important meeting of the committee will be held on Monday, April 29 at 3:45 o'clock, at the home of Dr. Robin, to complete the arrangements.
Thespians Say That Girls Can't be Heard in Gymnasium.
(By Helen Degen)
The Thespians have decided not to give "Billy" for the entertainment of high school visitors, May 4, because the girls could not be heard in the gymnasium and expenses would be too great to give it in the Bowersock theater.
All of the thirty-five students who were recently expelled from the University of Arkansas for publishing the "X-Ray," have been reinstated.
At the meeting held in Fraser hall last night, the following officers were elected for the coming year:

Glen Pyle, Chemical Engineer Had Bad Fall at St.Louis Iron Works
CHEMISTRY AND POLITICS MIX
"Holy Smoke, my house is on fire!" yelled Professor Humble this morning as Fire Chief Reinsch and a squad of his trusty firemen charged past the Law building to the wild accompaniment of clanging bells and screaming sirens.
Professor Humble lately built him a cozy nest on the hill overlooking the engineering building and when the fire-fighters flew past the Law building, he immediately conjectured an awful scene of his house on fire, his wife and son in the flames, and his domestic felicity and happiness forever gone.
He summoned his entire clas
K. U. Engineers and Republican State Convention are Headliners at Planters Hotel.
The following despatch was received this morning from the Daily Kansan's correspondent with the chemical engineers on their inspection tour.
St. Louis, Mo., April 24, Arrived in St. Louis 8:30 this morning. We proceed at once to the Republic Stee and Iron works. It was a great sight, watching the transformation of raw iron into railroad rails, spikes, etc. In the afternoon, we made a thorough inspection of the Lacede gas company, which furnishes all the artificial gas used in St. Louis.
Along with our chemical work, we are being introduced to a new subject, that of politics. The republican state convention is being held at the Planter hotel, and so we are surrounded on all sides by windy arguments.
One of our number, Glen Pyle, received a painful injury during the visit to the iron works. Slipping on an iron red he fell, cutting a bad gash in his foot. He says that it will take more than fall to stop his test for knowledge.
PROFESSOR HUMBLE CALLS THE LAWS TO FIRE-DRILL
It takes a long trip like this to show up the men who are not always at liberty. Grignard and Malcolmson have been ordering a new dish each meal* orms and fried onions, steaks “a in apples and “smothered.” One week of bliss!
Emile Grignard wishes it to be announced that he brought two large text books in his grip and is working diligently every evening.
We met an ole K. U. student this evei-
ing, Roy Roberts of the Kansas City
Star, who is attending the republican
convention.
Charles Robinson, being curious as to the name of a French dish on the restaurant menu, decided to order some cherry pie. Charles how he liked the bluegrass.
The worst thing we have to contend with is the hoodoo of someone's getting lost. Today Harold Shaw ventured out beyond the life line, requiring the aid of R. K. Bailey to again reach shore.
The class in Suretship had been dozing for some time and their slumbers were rudely disturbed by the invasion of the Lawrence fire crew as they made their way up Oread avenue and sweep through the campus evidently with devastation some domicile near the western edge of the campus limits.
"PAOLA AND FRANCESCA"
AT EXPRESSION RECITAL
The third graduating expression recital of the Fine Arts school was given in Praser hall last evening by Mrs Arthur L. Owen, pianist.
Miss Mitchell read "Paola am Francesca," a four act drama by Stephen Phillips. The great range of emotion portrayed in each character was a test for a reader and Mr. Mitchell gave a dramatic interpretation of the characters. The piano selections by Mrs Owen were well received.

and tumbled out of a window, followed by a hundred yearling barristers, brave as any who braved death on the Titanic, who were willing to risk life in the attempt to befriend their beloved pedagogue.
The breathless morb torit its way to the scene of the disaster. Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, charged the one hundred. And they kept on charging until they charged as as far as the gymnasium where the reductable fire chief and his trusties were encountered and were eagerly questioned as to the exact locus of the conflagration.
Investigation proved that the wild changing of the bells and the other manifestations usually incident to a fire, were only a part of the little frolic that the jovial chief was having with a lately acquired fire horse.
Professor Humble is a good scout and the class was dismissed for the rest of the hour.

SOPHOMORE HOPP
A SUMMER PARTY
And They Will Sit Out the Dances on the Green Carpeted Campus
(By Beulah Murphy)
Another innovation has struck the University. The sophomore Hopp is to be a summer party. The windows will be thrown open, and best of all the campus in front of Fowler Shops and the gymnasium will be dotted here and there with cozy benches to be used between the dances.
To add another touch of June, light trousers and dark coats will be in order for the men and light summer dresses for the girls. This is the first attempt to make the costing for the sophomore party distinctive. The aim of the management of the Hopp this year is to make the party one of simplicity and elegance and eliminating the checking trouble and the receiving line it will be possible to get in a full 22 dance program. The music will be furnished by Ray Hall's eight piece orchestra.
The opening chorus will be a four strain waltz song, in which Miss Lamb and Mr. Fillmore will take the solo parts. From all indications the song hit will probably be "Isn't He a Handsome Man?"
"The farce material justifies the faith in the sophomore class," said Arvid Fram, today. "In fact the farce apparently good in both voice and acting."
The Hopp is distinctive too in being the only big party during the whole year that is open to everybody in the school.
SENIOR GIRLS ADD TO DORMITORY FUND
Flipping Films Prove a Financial Success—Pledge Is Paid Three Times Over
(By Beulah Murphy)
(By Beulah Murphy)
And still the fund is growing. A the nickel benefit for the Girls' Dor mitory the senior girls earned more than $26,000 plus plaque. The sale of tickets on the campus amounted to $99.10. The Patte Nickel took in $25.55 and the Aurora $26.04, making a total o $145.25. This sum is over and above expenses which were $45.50.
Delpha Johnson, who had charge of the ticket sale, said today, "We tried to keep our expenses as low as possible. When the down town papers refused us free advertising we did without it. Senior girls took the place of the regular ushers, and the boys helped us distribute our post-race tickets at the hotel. The girls made mistakes in the regular ticket takers several times, but they didn't mind that. It was all for a good cause."
The work of John Musselman, Charles Younggreen and Benjamin Leventhal helped greatly in making the evening a financial success.
BRUNO KIESEWETTER TO WED IN WICHITA
In Defiance of Relatives, Will Marry the Girl of His Choice
BRIDE CAME FROM GERMANY
Followed The Man She Loved to Land of Freedom. "I Like Her Courage," Says Bruno
Friends of the late "exchange professor" Bruno Kiesewetter will be interested in knowing that he has received word that his finance, Miss Emmy Herwew, is coming from Germany. The announcement of her coming was quite a surprise to the young professor. They will be married at the residence of I. M. Allen, principal of the Wichita high school, next Monday.
Three years ago, while Herr Kiesewetter was a student in the University of Marburg, Germany, he went into a little confectionery shop to buy some candy. But he saw something sweeter than the candy, and he went again. The attraction which took him so often to the confectionery shop was the sweet girl who sold the candy. She was Miss Herwey, and she was soon Mr. Kiesewetter's fiance.
OF NOBLE BIRTH.
Herr Bruno Kiesewetter is a son of a noble German family, but he imbibed democratic ideas while a student in Marburg.
GOT HELP FROM KANSAS
FROM KANAS.
Fortunately for the young German's schemes, he received an offer to come to America as a new change professor" in the University of Kansas. He has now held the position of teacher of German at the Wichita high school two months, and has given excellent satisfaction.
Strong objections to the match were made by the aristocratic relatives of Herr Kiesewetter.
"I have very much joy because I am soon be a married man," said Hirie Kiesewetter. "You see she has courage," he continued, "for she is coming across the ocean all alone and she earned the money herself. I admire her very much and I think we will have much happiness soon."

"Missly Miss Thermo, said Missley," I wrote. "I'm all up in the air about this Kirmess, aren't you?"
"Well," replied the more conservative Miss Thermo. "last night I was down in the depths, but my spirits seem to be rising now by degrees. I think that by tomorrow when I see the highlands I will visit the Highland lassies, and the Spanish Senoritas, on the campus, I'll be really warmed up about the matter."

FRIDAY APRIL 26,1912.
THE WHY OF THE KIRMESS There is on the campus today a freshman girl for whom the kirmess is primarily given. She may be looking ahead and knowing that she cannot afford to return to school next year. Perhaps she feels discouraged and that she is so small a part of the big university that she would not even be missed. And yet it is to help her that the proceeds of the Kirmess will be used.
And when she receives this scholarship she should turn and work that next year some other deserving freshman girl may feel the same glad joy in her heart that comes from knowing that the whole University loves her and cannot afford to lose her.
Who and where ever she is let her take hope. The dancers in bright attire are dancing just for this freshman girl. The brilliant pageant winds over the campus for this freshman girl alone. Every hour spent by the Kansas girls was gladly given for her sake.
The University of Missouri hasn't enough blondes among the girls of the senior class from whom to elect a May Queen. What's the matter with the chemicals?
LOCAL TALENT AT MUSIC FESTIVAL
Now that the music festival is past, it seems a fitting time to register student complaints. Undoubtedly, the festival is popular with the young men and women of the University, but there is at least one objection which is frequently raised against it. Why must there be local talent forced into the program?
The festival is advertised as one of the really good opportunities for students to hear good music. The price of admission is comparatively high, and many a seat holder is disappointed when local musicians appear on the program. Students attend the festival in order to hear artists who do not frequently come to Lawrence and although they appreciate the local musicians, they pay festival prices in order to hear numbers which would be impossible to hear at any other time.
FOR CLOSER UNION
Some time ago a movement was started to bring about a closer relationship between the faculty and student body of the University. Several meetings have been held at which representative students and members of the faculty who are
___
popular with the students, discussed many of the University problems.
This movement is one that cannot be commended too highly. In a large institution like the University, all possible measures should be taken to create unity. The various meetings have shown beyond doubt that both faculty and students are ready to follow any good plan for closer union that may be suggested. It is to be hoped, something tangible will result.
BROADENS FIELD FOR GIRLS Few people realize how many University students are self supporting, or partially so. The field of work is much broader than ever before, and especially is this true in the case of the girls. There is, however, a lack of initiative among the women students in taking up the varied opportunities for self help. Many feel that they can work only in private homes, and will accept no other class of work. As a result, the Women's Employment Bureau of the University experiences difficulty in filling positions other than domestic.
At present, there is an excellent opportunity for girls to conduct cooperative clubs or tease houses which they could run on a purely cost basis. This would provide many unemployed girls with desirable positions.
TO BE A K. U. MAN?
"Be a K. U. man." "Would that mean anything?" said Dr. Naismith in one of his classes, "when the crew on the Titanic was about to stampede, the captain called 'Be British, men,' and they held to their posts.
"Be a K. U. Man." Does it mean anything to you to come from Kansas? Does it mean every man for himself, or something higher and nobler—a deep loyalty to the best interests and ideals of the University? While in school, we sometimes forget its truest ideals but when we leave the institution we should carry with us a sense of love and reverence for the University that at the call of our Alma Mater we would stand at our post and be K. U. men.
For the benefit of the young women of limited means seeking an education, Smith College will experiment in cooperative housekeeping. One of the ways to be used for the purpose in which the young women will live and keep house.

AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
HORSE and an Ass were traveling together, the Horse prancing along in its fine trappings, the Ass carrying with difficulty the heavy weight in its panners. "I wish to do and well fed, and all that fine harness upon you." Next day, however, there was a great battle, and the Horse wounded to death in the final charge of the day. His friend, John, followed them afterwards and found him on the point of death. "I was wrong," said the Ass. "Better humble security than gilded danger."

"Comin' events cast their shadows before," so I've heard. Must be there is goin' to be somethin' doin' over at the Kansan office the way them fellers have been hunter' round the campus for news. It's been a mighty newsy paper fer the last few days.
It makes a feller think its June and everybody's goin' home, to see so many tags everwhere. More than yer see in the baggage room at the depot.
Pretty near everybody's wearin' a yeller tag. "Tother day I was talkin' with a Law when 'long came a feller with a yeller button on his cap an' wearn'in a green tag. "Wher's bound fer," I says. "Aw, no wher," says the Law, "he just don't know St. Patrick's day over."
They say over in Missouri they ain't got enough blondes in the University to choose their May queen from. Must be awful behind the times over there. Aunt Nickelous Sulfide chuckled as she arranged several bottles of peroxide on the shelves. Their chemistry laboratory certainly is small.
Student elections at the University of Wisconsin are now conducted under a "corrupt practices act," which follows quite closely a similar law passed last winter by the state legislature. The cost of the first election under the new rule was $40. The same election for the candidates between $300 and $400 is heavier than at any other election of recent years, notwithstanding the fact that heretofore conveyances have been used to take voters to the polls.
Two graduates of Dartmouth College have donated three gold medals to be awarded for the greatest physical improvement shown by students between January and May. The competitors must show a classroom average of at least 65.
ELIZA'S INTERUPTED CONQUEST
Eliza was fat and forty. Fair Eliza was not, for her smooth skin had a rich brown hue resembling that of a chocolate cream. Her eyes, small and twinkling, were usually an expression of alertness and occasionally of snappiness that was indicative of a quick temper. Eliza's neck and arms were her chief pride, for their smooth roundness just laid claim to real beauty.
By Ruth Van Doren
She debated the question reasonably for some time and finally decided she'd "take Ligo." For several weeks she labored earnestly with him. She wore her prettiest clothes for him, she listened attentively to his disjointed discourse, rolling up her eyes at him adoringly, and murmuring, "Yes, Mistah Lige!" at every opportunity; she made the kind of pie he liked every Saturday, until the family wondered at the repetition, when she considered that she had laid enough snakes for any ordinary man she arranged one Saturday evening, to lead up to the important question. She wore a pink dress with a flowing pink sash around her ample waist, piled on all her jewelry, and straightened herwig before her mirror with a complacent smile. Lige were certainly propose before the evening was over.
As Eliza had charms, so had she masculine admirers. Every Saturday night some dusky lover came across the river to the farm to spend the evening with "Miss Eliza," who was in reality twice Mrs., having been twice a widow.
One defect Eliza had, which might have kept her vanity chastened, had she not discovered how to conceal it cleverly. Of one of another race it might have been said, "prematurely gray." The little gray kinks that covered Eliza's round head warranted no such dignified phrase. It was just gray wool. So Eliza wore a wig—a wig of straight black hair surely never grown on human head. It had a stylish pompadour in front and a flat bun effect in the back. Eliza admired it exceedingly, but guarded the secret of her coifure jealously. Once Miss Edith caught her without it, and Eliza stillly refused to speak to her for nearly a month.
Eliza knew by experience that personal beauty attracts a man's fancy, and that flattery goes far toward winning his heart. So she made herself beautiful, and in spite of her "fat and forty," coqueted her way into several hearts, especially that of one Lige. Eliza was tired of earning her living. She felt she had better and that sociability which her work on the farm did not permit. Lige had money, she knew, for he owned a saloon just across the state line.
Intimate communion with the minds of the wisest and most gifted of our disciples fails to bring with it, not merely patience and hope wherewith to meet the unavoidable cares and disappointments of life, but an attitude to bear even its worst calamities.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
ALEXANDER IRELAND.
It was part of Eliza's duty to milk the three cows every evening. On this particular Saturday, Lige, probably scenting excitement in the atmosphere, came across the river early before the cows were milked. Eliza, becoming above her brilliant pink, conscious that Lige was already smitten by her beauty coyly invited him to come to the barn with her while she milked. Lige sauntered along beside her, dangling the milk pails at each side, never taking his eyes from Eliza. She smoothed her hair self-consciously and smiled up at him.
"You who has got pretty hair, Miss Eliza," he volunteered.
"Oh, pshaw." she demurred, tossing her head, "It ain't notnith' to speak of." "You'e too modest," he murmured down at her.
Eliza called the ows and took down the milking stool. She did not mind showing how gracefully she could perform her task. Lige leaned against the side of the barn with his hands in pockets, and watched her admiringly.
The Jersey Bess, calm under Eliza's skillful hands, chewed her cud meditatively as she watched him. She cast a suspicious eye around at Eliza, and caught her in the act of smiling coyly up at the lounging figure. Jersey Bess looked disguised. She switched from dress to gloves and liberation. The tail was matted with prickly cockle-hurrs collected in her afternoon ramble thru the pasture.
A second time she turned to look at Eliza. Eliza was just lowering a very firty eye. She meant to have no indecision tonight. For a moment the expression in Jersey Bess's eye was less cow-like. She gave her tail a vicious little switch to slap a fly from her smooth flank. But the eyelid of the eyes was slapped instead Eliza's bent head, and in an instant flew back with an unacustomed bunch of straight black hair dangling from the end.
Eliza gave a shriek of dismay, clasped her hands to her head, among the little gray kinks. Then instinctively she made a dive for Bess's tail, to disentangle the precious wig. As she turned to Lige with her wig awry on her head but she saw the barn in him doubled up against the barn in an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
"You so has got pretty hair, Miss Eliza," he gasped between shouts. Then Eliza's temper broke loose. Spurred on by wounded vanity, she poured forth a flood of her choice language up on the astonished Lige. The language was accompanied by the pail of milk, which she dashed upon him in her rage. When the torrent was followed by the milking stool Lige liced. Leaving her to stand shouting imprecations upon his offending head, and upon the innocent-looking Jersey Bess, he fled across the river to spread the tale among the Saturday night crowd at the saloon.
Now Eliza goes about in glowering sulenness, which will last no doubt, until some ignorant stranger admires her hair.

MY DEAR
If I hadn't had you, my dear,
in the years that we've been together.
With the teeth to tongue and your jest
and smile.
No ratter how gray the weather;
If I hadn't had you when my hope was
now.
And the world had been empty and sad and drear,
To comfort and tease and love me, I'd have seen no green in the grass
low,
To comfort and tease and love me.
No blue in the sky above me.
If I hadn't had you, my dear,
If I didn't have you, my dear,
With the glamour of youth about you,
When the day's work drags and my
work drags.
Why, what should I do without you? If I lied, have you when the day is long?
And the long, long night comes after;
gives wrong.
To set it aight with laughter.
if I didn't have you when the world goes wrong.
If I didn't have you, my dear,
There'd be small need of my tarrying here.

THE PLANS FOR THE KIRMESS ARE READY
And Fixed. The Peanuts Are Roasted, the Lemonade's Mixed
AND ALL FOUR SORORITIES
Have Their Retreats, Where Drink soft Are Purveyed And Eke Fair sweetmeats.
(By Helen R. Hoopes)
Tomorrow's the Kirmess! Come see what we've got in the booths here for sale. There are things cold and hot. The Pi Phis are here, dressed up in bright green; as mails of ould Ireland they will be seen. They'll be selling you something to drink, something to drink, (but it will not be malt). And if for a drink, a soft drink you would stop, how sweetly they'll ask, "Are you looking for pop?"
And the gay Chi Omegas, as sure as the fates, are now representing the United States. Their banners are flying, of red, white and blue; and good things to eat—well, they have them too. There are cones full of ice cream, your parched lips to cool, and hot roasted peanuts for each boy in school.
In a dear little garden that's quite Japanese, the Thetas will greet you with fans cool and breezy. For quenching your thirst, they have come to our aid, and will sell you delicious ice cold lemonade.
The Kappas will sell you good candy all right, at the sign of the windmill, in Delft blue and white, for Holland's the country they claim for a day, while the Queen of the Kirmess holds forth her brief sway.
Take your choice of the good things, and be there betimes, and come well supplied with your nickels and dimes. For the cause it is just and the girls are so nice—now what will you have, pops, corn-or ice?

TWO MINUTES WITH CAMPUS CELEBRITIES
"I first saw the University of Kansas," said Chancellor Frank Strong, "in 1887. I was practicing law in Kansas City at the time, and came down to Lawrence to visit an old class mate of mine. He wished to show me the town, and while walking south on Massachusetts St., he pointed out Mount Oread. What impressed me most was the absolute barrenness of the slope, no trees and few houses—Fraser Hall was the only building to be seen since the old Medic building is directly behind it.
"I became connected with the University first in 1902, and since than it has been the only real hobby in which I indulge.
"Am I partial to boys or girls?" a rather difficult question for a man who has one of each. But—well, I believe I am a trifle inclined to favor the girls."
"My vocation I should call being Chancellor of the University, and my avocation music. Pie? Oh yes, I like pie. I prefer apple."
GIRLS TO DECIDE TENNIS CHAMPIONS

Madison, Wis., April 25—That its feminine graduates seldom become old maids, is a statement issued by the University of Wisconsin today in the new alumni directory. Just 663 of the 1037 women who graduated from Wisconsin between 1867 and 1911 have married. Most of the unmarried are recent graduates who will mate later.
The figures show that 43 per cent of the women graduates have married alumni of the university.

"On your marks, get set, go!" At one-thirty tomorrow afternoon the annual inter-class track meet will open on McCook field with over two hundred entries. The afternoons of this last week have been given over by Coach Hamilton to training the men who are entered for tomorrow in the different events and the pointers that have been given out have greatly increased the efficiency of all the men.
The meet will probably be one of the largest of its kind ever staged on the University track and field and the classes are coming out in full support of their representatives. All the events of a regular dual meet will be run off and Coach Hamilton expects to get a line on some good material in the classes for the Varsity team next year.
Probably the two mile event will be the most interesting in the whole afternoon. Murray, the Varsity runner, will be pitted against Edwards, a freshman, who has been showing up in especially good form since the opening of the training season. In the pole vault, Hurst, a freshman engineer, is counted on for clearing the bar at over 11 feet, with the other of his team having one. The other events will be equally interesting and the spectators are promised one of the fastest meets ever stared.
Nell Martindale, secretary of the senior class, has appointed the following committee: Invitationes; Jennie Richardson, Gertude Figley, Lucile Kellerman; entertainment, Hannah Mitchell, Audrey Harsberger; refreshments, Dena Ellis, Nell Dalton, Glendale Griffins; decorations, Gale Gossel, Lucie March.

It is a mistake to think that opportunity knocks but once, for it returns with every sunrise. My message is one of optimism, courage, and faith. Life is an array of beginnings, that is, a series of new births. The life of Christ was a life of beginnings. Shakespeare preached the doctrine of beginnings."

A CROWN OF ROSES FOR KIRMESS QUEEN
Enthroned in a Sunflower Lucile Wilkinson Received the Royal Insignia
HISTORIC PAGEANT PLEASES
Dances of All Nations Were Good- Proceeds of the Day Will Probably Amount to $400.
The key of the University was turned over to Her Majesty, the Queen of the Kansas Kirmess, on Saturday, April 27. The weather was good and the big, good-humored crowd waited patiently for the pageant.
After only a short delay, the procession left Robinson gymnasium and wound its way through the campus. The Indians in single file came first, then the Spanish explorers. The force band of hunters and trappers followed, with the pioneers and the prairie schooner in the rear.
Next came the K. U. band followed by a gay medley of dancers of all nations. Sixteen senior girls carried a long sunflower chain. Back of them was Mildred Roberts, carrying the crown of pink roses on a green cushion.
ENTER, THE KIRMESS QUEEN
ENTER, THE KIRKMES QUEEN
The Queen, Lucile Wilkinson, in a flowing robe of pale green, rode on a snow-white horse.
Following the Queen, were her attendants, senior girls in white with black hair.
EHTHRONED IN A FLOWER
The pageant reached the green in front of Fraser hall at three o'clock. The dancers and the spectators stood aside to let the Queen ride by on her white horse. As her cavalier led her disciple 'climber' platform and helped her dismount dances and spectators crowded around to see the coronation ceremony,
BETHELD IN A FLOWER
As the Queen seated herself in royal state on her throne, the sunflower dancers ran forward and, from the plaza room where the Queen sat, each girl danced a yellow petal forming a huge sunflower with a brown center, with the Queen enthroned in the heart of the flower. The crown bearer, Mildred Roberts, came and offered the crown to the Queen, who knelt to receive it. The Queen's attendants then danced the sunflower dance before her throne, and completed the dance by forming the letter "K," the three lines of dancers kneeling and presenting their tribute of sunflowers to the Queen of the Kansas Kirmess.
The Queen and her attendants proceed to the platforms where the dances were held, visiting each one in turn.
DANCES OF THE NATIONS
DANCES OF THE NATIONS
At the Spanish platform, west of Green hall, freshmen and sophomore girls, trained by Glads Elliott, in Spanish costumes of black and red, and red and yellow, gave the Tyron and the Saltarella dances. Little Marie Hamilton, daughter of Coach Hamilton, sang "The Tin Soldier". Glads Elliott, in Carmes costume, was graceful and coquettish in her Spanish solo dance, "La Tiera."
Freshmen girls, in tartan kilts and Highland bonnets, gave the Highland Fling on the platform east of Green
hall. Cora Reynolds sang a Scotch song, "My Ain Folk." The sophomore girls, in Dutch blue dresses, danced a wooden shoes dance. Rose Abbott trained the dances.
The Irish platform, directed by Nell Martindale, was west of Medie hall, where the sophomore girls danced the Irish Lilt and Jig. The girls wore green skirts and mob caps, and little aprons decorated with shamrocks.
Nell Martindale danced a clever and comic "Jumping-Jack" dances. her costume was scarlet accordion-laid skirt, red and white striped jacket, edged with little bells, and a red cone cap topped with a bell.
A Polish dance by the senior girls in front of Blake hall was accompanied by vigorous stamping of boots and wild waving of arms. Edith Bideau sang "Senora," in a clear, sweet voice which carried well. The juniors as Japanese girls in gay kimonas danced a graceful parasol dance to characteristic Japanese music. These dances were under the direction of Miss Helen Thames, of Kansas City.
BOOTHS KEPT BUSY
The booths in charge of the sororities were visited by generous purchasers of peanuts, pop-corn, icecream cones and pop.
PROCEEDS PROBABLY $400
"The proceeds of the Kirmess," said Beulah Murphy, president of the W. S. G. A., "will be used for a W. S. G. A. scholarship for some freshman girl now in school. She will be selected soon according to scholarship and general fitness, by the Advisory Board of the W. S. G. A."
Frederika Hodder, treasurer of the Kirnessa, said that $300 of the proceeds were in, and probably $100 more would be in later.
JESTER BREAKS OUT
"We can not announce the amount definitely until Thursday," said Miss Hodder. "The expenses were $200."
Official Publication of the "Friars" on the Campus Kirmess Day
The Jester, otherwise known as the official publication of the Junior organization called "The Friars." appeared on the campus Saturday as a special feature of the Kirmess, and supplied the students with twenty columns of the latest dope and advertising.
Under the personal direction of Dean L. E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy, the Pharmaceutical Society made its annual trip of inspection through the wholesale drug houses in Kansas City, last Thursday.
DEAN SAYRE TAKES
PHARMICS ON TRIP
"We still have a number for sale," continued Marsh, "and those who did not get copies Saturday, or who were out of the city and would like to get them now, may obtain them from either Shorty Hoffman or myself."
Over twenty dollars was taken in from the sale of the papers, and this together with the advertising will just about pay for the publication.
"The Jester tried to disappoint no one by leaving out their names," said Geo Marsh, "but it is rumored that a few felt sledged because they missed the only opportunity this year for getting their names in print."
The society visited Faxon-Gallagher Evans-Smith, McPike, Eli Lilly and the Parke-Davis drug companies. At noon the Parke-Davis company entertained the men for lunch at the Coates house.

ZARAGUETA PLEASES GOOD SIZED CROWD
Spanish Play Exceeded Expectations of All Those Who Saw It
ACTION EASILY UNDERSTOOD
All Parts Commendable—Costumes
Were Not as the Moving Picture Films Have Them
Zaragueta, the first complete play in the Spanish tongue ever given at the University, was produced Saturday night in Robinson gymnasium before a fair-sized audience.
Some trouble, as is usual with amateur plays, was experienced in hearing the lines, but as a large proportion of the audience did not understand the language, it was not such a handicap.
The acting was excellent from the lightest part to the title role. Richard Gardner showed marked ability in rendering the character of Zaragueta, the scene where the money-lender gets an unexpected shower bath being exceptionally good.
The make-up of the players, with the expection of Marjuja, did not conform to the idea an American has of the typical Spaniard, although the faculty of the department of Romance declares that they were true to life.
Gale Gosset as Dona Dolores and Howard Welch as Don Indalecio are to be commended for their ability. Laura Bates as Marua, Clair Ritter as Don Saturio, a village doctor, and Hale Cook as Carlos, a student in need of money, filled ably the principal comedy parts.
"This is some day," said Baro this morning as the reporter for the Daily Kansan approached him. "Thermo is rather low spirted, but he'll cheer up tomorrow."
Before the curtain rose, Mrs. A. L. Owen played the Boloero from "Recuerdas de Andalucía," and between the acts Howard Welch sang two Spanish songs. Both numbers were encored.
"Tell the people to take the tin cans and newspapers off their gardens too, as the sun is going to shine."
Mrs. Porter, of Topeka, was in Lawrence Saturday visiting her daughter, Dorothy, and attending the Phi Phi Founder's Day banquet.
Prof. F. H. Hodder will give the second of a series of illustrated lectures on the "American Cartoon," Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 in Fraser hall. In his lecture Professor Hodder will cover the period of the Civil War and of the Spanish War.

He said that the reason more people were not religious was because religion had become unpractical, and did no present good to its professors. He argued that Christian Science supplied that great need in religion, and explained its rapid growth as the result of its practical doctrine.
Mr. Leonard made a sharp distinction between hypotism in therapeutics, and Christian Science. He said the success of hypotism in curing diseases was the result of the power of one mind over another, while Christian Science used God or the Divine.
Mr. Leonard used himself as an example of the healing powers of Christian Science. He said that when he was twenty years old he was told by medical men that he could not be cured of an organic disease which he had had from infancy, but after three months treatment by a Christian Scientist, he was pronounced perfectly cured by the doctors who could not help him.
CHEMICALS RETURN AFTER A WEEK'S TRIP
Visited Eighteen Plants—Had Enjoyable as Well as Profit-itable Time
The Chemical Engineering Society returned from their trip of inspection to Kansas City and St. Louis last night. The boys report that they spent the most interesting and profitable week that they have since they have been in school.
The only kick which the boys have is that they had so much to see that they were kept going all the time. Every morning they would start from their hotel on their daily inspection trip and remain out all day. In the evening they would gather in one room for breakfast, where the processes of manufacture which they had witnessed and elaborating the notes which they had taken during the day.
On the trip they visited eighteen plants, seven in Kansas City and eleven in St. Louis. Probably the most spectacular work which they witnessed was the manufacturing of steel by the open hearth process. They went to the steel plant at night and the roaring of the machinery, the sizzling of the white hot metal, and the crashing of the steel as it was rolled out into sheets was an experience which they will never forget.
Sachems Will Meet
Prof. W. A. Whitaker, of the department of chemistry, who had charge of the party says that the trip was highly successful in every way. Each plant that they visited seemed to make a difference in how the every courtesy and co-operate with them to make the trip as interesting and instructive as possible.
The Sachems, the senior society, will hold an important meeting tonight at 9 o'clock on the Pi Upsilon house.
KANSAS OUT-TALKS MISSOURI, WINNING IN ANNUAL DEBATE
Judges, by Vote of Two to One, Give K. U. Men Victory
JPHOLD RECALL OF JUDGES
The Aggies
Local Debaters Carry Off Laurels While Athletes Wax Baker And
Kansas won the annual debate with the University of Missouri, given in Fraser hall, Friday evening. The University speakers upheld the affirmative of the "Recall for Judges" question, and were given a two to one decision by the judges. Chancellor Strong presided and the largest crowd that has ever attended such a contest here in recent years was present.
Milton Minor, for Kansas, opened the argument in a twenty minute speech by giving a short history of the recall, laying particular stress on the corruption and technicalities which have crept into our judicial system. He maintained that corruption and technicalities are the result of a judiciary independent of the people, because impeachment had utterly failed to sufficiently check this branch of the government. The recall, he said, would be an efficient cheek without being often used.
ROSS OPENED FOR THE TIGERS
W. L. Ross opened the negative argument. He stated the position held by Missouri, that cases of evil on the bench were isolated, and were the result of long terms, small salaries and election by the people. He proposed that laws conflicting with the fourteenth amendment be referred to the federal courts and showed that the recall would force the judges into politics. Wilbur followed Ross and effectively pointed out in refutation, the incorrect view of the causes of judicial corruption, which were given by Missouri. That the courts were usurping legislative rights and that a judicial system responsible directly to the people was the best guarantee for improved courts, as well as for individual rights, were the affirmative points discussed by the last Kansas speaker.
KANSAS BROKE DOWN ARGUMENTS
'KANSAS BROKE DOWN ARGUMENTS
The second negative man, Drumm, maintained that under the recall the people would be hasty in their judgement and the judge would lose his independence. He proposed that of judges by the legislature, and changes in the court structure, would meet all the objections to our present system that could be cited.
As in the Colorado debate, Kansas was particularly strong in rebuttal, and after the last speaker had finished, there were few in the audience who were not convinced that Kansas had not only supported her affirmative position, but had effectively broken down the negativity arguments.
Mrs. A. D. Walker and Mrs. J. E.
Tabor of Holton, were guests at the
Kappa house over the week-end.
Mrs. W. A. Coston, of Topeka, visited her daughter, Rachel, at the Theta house over Sunday.

THE WOMAN'S NUMBER
The woman's number of the Daily Kansan came off the press last Friday afternoon only a few minutes late, and, when once in the hands of the student readers it did not appear vastly different from other numbers of the paper that the men have been publishing all year. The news of the hill was covered completely, society news was given more space and the general make-up and tone of the sheet was good.
However, there is a good reason for this excellence in the woman's edition of the Daily Kansan. Many of the names that appeared over the signed stories are those of young women who have been writing news stories for the columns of the Daily Kansan all the year, and who have become as expert as many of the men in the field of college newspaper work.
in a very great measure, Friday's issue was published by those women who are taking work in the department of journalism and who are learning newspaper making with the boys.
This shows the fallacy in the ruling at the Pulitzer School of Journalism in New York City. There, the women are not permitted to enroll in the courses. Undoubtedly, they can do the work as well as men, there are special fields for women in newspaper work that they can cover far better than men. They have shown that, in Kansas at least, the journalism department is accomplishing something for them as well as for the men, in training them for special work and in managing a paper of their own.
The Chemical engineers who took a five-day trip to Kansas City and St Louis in search of knowledge returned last night in plenty of time to work in some of their new smells and odors on the Engineers' parade tomorrow.
THEY TALKED BETTER
At last in the fifth year of the annual debates with the Tiger, the Jayhawk was able to get in the last word with the judges and leave an impression with them favorable enough to obtain the decision last Friday night.
The men who went on the rostrum for Kansas to argue on "The Recall of Judges" were prepared to discuss every phase of their subject. They were experts. They know their subject well. Their presentation of the subject Friday night was the climax of months of reading in the libraries, hard work in writing and revising various arguments and the practice of a delivery that won for them.
This victory of the state University of Kansas over that of Missouri represents a victory on the platform over the entire state of Missouri. The students of the entire state of Kansas have been working on debates for the past few years in the high schools and in the colleges of the state. At last the University, representing the state, has succeeded in taking first honors in debate and it is an honor that it has brought to the state.
STUDENT OPINION
The editor is not responsible for the views expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith.
In a communication to the Daily Kansan, Carl Cannon, editor of the Jayhawker, misquotes an editorial which says, "We're going to the Oread Magazine, and replies to it.
To the Daily Kansan:
Mr. Cannon makes the Oread say, "A large portion of the joke section of the Jayhawker was cut out at the request of the faculty," when in reality, an exact quotation from the Oread reads: "Any (jokes) which caused the dioxygen to effervesce too freely, thereby imprinting 'impurities,' were neatly trimmed out and numbered among those not present."
The Oread editorial states a fact which Mr. Cannon admits, in his communication; i. e. that the material for the book was examined by the University authorities before it went to the publisher, and that anything to which the authorities objected, was cut out. It is not that the images were trimmed from the book, so long as the fact remains that censorship existed.
There is absolutely no strife between the Oread Magazine and the Jayahawk. The Magazine does not believe that the quality of the annual was damaged in the least by the censorship that has been exerted over it, but the editors of the Oread object seriously to the principle of faculty censorship over any student publication.

MRS. MALAPROP'S IDEA OF EDUCATION
By Richard Brinsley Sheridan
SIR Anthony Absolute. Why, Mrs.
Maloprop, in moderation now,
what would you have a woman
know?
Mrs. Malaprop. Observe me, Sir Anthony, I would by no means wish a daughter of mine to be a progeny of learning; I don't think so much learning becomes a young woman; for instance, I would never let her meddle with Greek or Hebrew, or algebra, or simony, or fluxions, or paradoxes, or such inflammatory branches of learning—neither would it be necessary for her to handle any of your mathematical, astronomical, diabolical instruments. But, Sir Anthony, I would send her, at nine years old, to a boarding-school in order to learn a little ingenuity and artifice. Then, sir, she would have a supercilious knowledge in accounts; and as she grew up, I would have her instructed in geometry, that she might know something of contagious countries. Above all, Sir Anthony, she should be mistress of orthodoxy, that she might not mis-spell and mis-pronounce words so shamefully as girls usually do; and likewise that she might reprehend the true meaning of what she is saying. This, Sir Anthony, is what I would have a woman know,—and I don't think there is a superstitious article in it.

A few years ago—just two weeks and a nod it would seem—she was a little brown-eyed, tow headed, flower-faced kiddie, running around on North Merchant Street. Then in a wink she was a tall, long-legged tom-boy of a girl with big questioning eyes—all afloat with dreams. She had long pigtails of hair, and she went roaming all over Union Street playing with the neighbors' babies. Now the paperboy is to be able to carry the Sister University, and she is a full-bodied young woman. Doubtless she has a bead—maybe half a dozen beaux. Tomorrow in another wink she will be spoiling her grandchildren.

Likewise, they are designing, cutting, fitting and sewing a new dress each. They are doing it as a part of their laboratory work in the home economics course, under the direction of trained instructors.

THIS PLACES OXFORD
EVEN WITH GEO. ADE
The American Undergraduate Would Need a Hand-Glossary in Strolling in English Quad.
Now that there are so many Rhodes scholars from the United States at Oxford, the great American "slanguage," as Punch calls it, is likely to be, if it hasn't been already, enriched with some choice examples of the extraordinary jargon that is spoken in lieu of plain English by the undergraduates at that classic scale of learning. I had heard of Oxford slang, but never had dream of its extent until I met Paul Mackenzie when I visited a young English friend who is at Magdalen, which they prefer to call "maundal."
After a frugal lunch of bread, cheese and beer in his chambers, we sallied forth and were crossing the "quad," when one of my friend's fellow-students bore down upon him and a conversation very much as follows took place:
"Hullo, Thompson, my buck, how goes it?"
"Rotten, Smithers, rotten. Guest at a Cupper last night. No brekker. Tried to keep a lekker at John's but got no father than the Maggers' Memugger when I felt queer and had to turn back. And the Dagger's got his knife into me. Not enough rollers."
"Me, too. I'm gated for the rest of the term because of a harmless little binge at my digs. I say, Thompkins, it's so bad that the priceless; in fact, quite top-hole."
"Nat but not gadgy, ain't it? Lord knows when I shall be able to pay for it. The waggier-pagger-bagger's simply overflowing with bills. Incidentally I've been having a talk with the Mugger and he thinks I'm booked for a gulf. Heard that the Pragger Waggier is coming up to us?"
"So they say. Going to be a Trin-
dog. What's the matter, Thompson,
you're not looking very fit? Ought
to do a meadow every morning."
"Rather! They nearly had me in St. Ode's last night and the Provy warned me in our last conversation time I should be sent down. So long."
That is a fair "composite" one of several conversations that would have put George Ade to the blush. The following glossary of the above dialogue may throw some light on what it was all about. A "cupper" at Oxford is a supper to celebrate the winning of a cup. "Brekker," of course is slang for breakfast, and "lekter "for lecture. The "Maggers" Memugger is the "Marty's Memorial," the "dagger" is the dean and the "a roller" is a call. A "binge," as you may have guessed, is a convival gathering, and a "weaker" is a waiscoat. "Wager-pagger-bagger" is "short" for wastepaper-hasket. The "Mugger" is the master of a college, and a "gulf" is taken by a man who whips him out, examineth but only does well enough to pass without honors. The "Pragger Wagger" is the prince of Wales, while a "Trindog" is a member of Trinity college. To "do a meadow" is to run around Christian church meadows before breakfast. The "Proggins" is the proctor, and the "bullers" are his "bull dogs" or attendant minions, while "Provvy" is Oxfordese for Provost. It is up to one of the Rhodes scholars to write some "Fables in Oxford Slang."—From the Denver Republican.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
A GLOSSARY.
TO THE VIRGINS
Gather the rosebuds while ye may. Old Time is still a flying;
And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of Heaven, the sun,
The higher he's a getting,
The lighter he's a getting.
The sooner will his race be run.
And nearer he'r to setting.
The age is best which is the first,
where youth and blood are
When youth and blood are warmer
When children are the worst
Times still succeed the former
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And, while ye may, go marry;
Having, write ye may, go marry;
For having lost but once your prime,
For having lost but once your prime,
You may forever tarry.

Everybody knows that fraternal orders perform an important function in society and that they are worthy of the encouragement that they receive. Lawrence has always been hospitable to such organizations and in return has become a large place on the map of fraternaldom. One of the most impressive Masonic temples in the West may be seen in this city. The Eagles lodge has a fine new building. The Fraternal Aid Association has its general offices here, housed in a magnificent three story office building. Other orders enjoy the prosperity that comes with large membership. The fraternal spirit is strong in the Athens of Kansas.

MY BOOK AND HEART SHALL NEVER PART
Miss Lynn Writes of "For bidden Books" in April Atlantic Monthly
By Helen R. Hoopes
eachhold loving
Night-
thing.
St.
The April number of the Atlantic Monthly contains a sketch, "My Book and Heart," by Miss Margaret Lynn, of the department of English. This is the fifth in a series which has appeared in the magazine during the last year. The stories chonicle the life of a child on the prairies.
ICS.
"Of course I never knew the early life on the prairies," said Miss Lynn. "The prairies, in the section about my home, had passed before my clear recollections begin, but I lived among them, and when I observed them and talked about them."
When asked if the stories were auto biographical. Miss Lynn answered:
"No, unless very remotely. I had no model for the 'girl' she is a creature of invention, although some people who have lived on the prarie have told me that I have duplicated their experiences very nearly."
"What is your method of writing?" Miss Lynn was asked. "I haven't any method," she declared apathatically. "I just write the stories."
The title of the last sketch is taken from a quaint verse in the New England Primer.
'My Book and Heart. Shall never part."
"My Book and Heart," is a literary confession of likes and dislikes, of tiresome books and fascinating discoveries, of bibbled and forbidden books. The Prairie girl had found out that books under a ban were most attractive. "The corner of the Forbidden Books," she confides, "added a zest and a perilous excitement to our explorations. The grown-ups certainly had curious notions about what it was inadvisable for children to read—But having books forbidden makes them irresistibly aluring, and adds the excitement of hazard to the reading of them. Did you never sneak a book away to read it, prudently sliding up the other books on the shelf so that no betraying gap might show? Did you never, for instance, read "Romola" under the bed in the spare bedroom, dividing your righteous condemnation of Tito with your own conscientious scruples, and your fear for Romola's safety with shivers lest you yourself be caught? Did you never make your way through "Vanity Fair" by cautions half-hour snatches, fearful every moment least some one in authority should interrupt?"

P. URPLE MARTINS ARRIVE AT FRASER
Organize Latin Letter Secret Society—Are Busy Rushing New Members
Large crowds from the south have been arriving daily at Fraser hall. They have come with serious intentions to work, and are going to stay for the summer sessions. They are at present drifting about the campus, getting their bearings while waiting for the rest of their fellows to get in. They have formed a secret society, the Progne subis subis's, for they insist that the Greek letter chapters are being overworked and will have a Latin named chapter for a change.
As soon as the rushing season is over they will settle down to the steady grind. All are enthusiastic about higher education, as is shown far beyond all the other stories located above the fifth story of Fraser.
Domestic science is the subject that about half of the number are planning to major in, while aerial engineering is making a strong appeal to the sporting members of the company. They are already specialists in aviation; owing their own air lines and manning their individual air ships so successfully that they are the envy of all bird men.
The students should make a special effort to make the acquaintance of these new comers and make them welcome on the campus. It will be well worth their trouble. There is no danger of getting their names confused as they all go by one name, P. Urple Martin. A. P. B.
NEW CABINET ANNOUNCED
Y. W. C. A. Workers For 1912-13 Hold First Meeting.
Mary Reding, president of the Y. W. C. A. for the year 1912-13, has announced the members for the coming year;
Mary Reding, president; Helen Short, vice-president; Bess Bozell, secretary; Eleanor Kee, treasurer; Emily Swick, chairman finance committee; Florence Payne, chairman meetings committee; Helen Pendleton, Bible study; Frances Powell, Mission mission; Marie Seeley, practical service; Florence Fugia, sustaining membership; Franc Banker, social; Ruth Van Doren, calligraphy; Malot, Rest-room; Emily Berger, publicity.
The new cabinet held its first meeting this week. Mrs. Lester McLean, Jr. of Denver, student secretary for the west central territory, gave a short talk on "The Y. W. C. A. as a National Movement."
That the extension department of the University has proved itself one of the most valuable sources of information to Kansas club women is shown by the many letters received daily by that department asking for suggestions for club papers on various topics.
The subjects which they have asked about vary from "Kissing the Blarney Stone" to "Woman's Suffrage."
Some of the favorite topics are: Social Settlement, Notable Women of Today, Labor Unions, Child Labor, Playgrounds, Modern Painters, And Co-education.

Bird Men Say the Supposed Pest Saves the Alfalfa
Crop.
"You've gotta quit kickin' the English Sparrow around," the ornithologists at the natural history museum are saying, "for he is a beneficial bird instead of the arrant vagabond that popular opinion has made him to be." Government experts in Utah and Wyoming state that the English Sparrow is redeeming his lost reputation by his valiant field work in those states. He is checking the rapid advances of the alfalfa weevil, a pest which has appeared there, and is likely to spread other states.
Sparrows have been known to clear rose vines of aphids in return for their rent nest under the cornice. In town streets where no other bird will venture,
Ornithologists say that the charge against them of driving the wild birds out of town is false. There are as many wild birds in the towns now as there ever has been, but as they often keep to the tree trees, while the Sparrow is every where underfoot, they hastily draw such conclusions.
SENIORS WILL SELECT INVITATIONS TO-DAY
Two Styles Here For Inspections-
Orders Will be Taken Today and
anyone can do it.
The invitations of the Senior class to the commencement in June are ready for inspection. The covers are f- two styles.
One is of pebble-grained black seal leather with an oval plate in the center, showing the museum tower upon a gold embossed back ground. The class numeral and the Kansas seal are also embossed on the cover.
The other style is of white cardboard with the plate class numeral and the Kansas seal embossed upon the front similar to the leather cover.
The invitations contain the usual greeting and the names of the four hundred and thirty-seven candidates for degrees. Two vignette plates of snow scenes on the campus during the past winter are also shown.
Rossee Redmond will be at the old check stand today and tomorrow to receive orders. All Seniors are urged to put in their orders as early as possible.

AGGS FELL BEFORE KANSAS PINCH HITS
Lowman's Hopes Twice Were Crushed by Great Ninth Inning Rallies
HITTING WON BOTH CONTESTS
Both Games Great Battles for The Bleacherite—Pitcher Walker Appeared in a New Role.
In two of the fastest base ball games ever contested on McCook field, the Jayhawker nine ooed out of two bad hides Friday and Saturday and topped the Agnie aggregation in the ninth in both games by a score of 4 to 3.
The proverbial luck of Coach Lowman's men deserted them both days at the most critical period of the game and Sherwin's team literally took the fruit from the mouths of the Farmers and swallowed it themselves, core and all. Both struggles were hotly contested from the first pitched ball to the last half of the ninth inning, and the spectators were kept "on their toes" until the final run in both games had been brought in. Neither team should be given the preference in regards to the playing of their men, as each game was of the kind "you read about" and some real base ball, that would do credit to professionals was pulled off by both nines.
It was in the game Saturday that the Farmer boys went down to defeat and were forced to take the count after having seemingly given the knock-out blow themselves. The thousand fans in the bleachers and grand stand were given the show of their lives when Walker was entered in White's place in the last half of the ninth, and made good as a pinch hitter by touching off a short single and bringing in Ward to tie the score.
McCook Field, 1:30 P. M.
In the second stage of the mix-up the Jayhawker slabsters were switched out of what looked like would be the first score of the game when Coolidge lined a long one over short-stop's head into right field and started on a round of the sacks. But Dresser, who was holding down that position of safety during the same way, and backing back, he made a fancy back handed catch over his left shoulder and Coolidge was given his pass out check.
SATURDAY'S GAME AGGIE'S WATERLOO
The first score was made by the Manhattan crew in the first of the third, when McCallum sloughed the pill through the south fence for two bags and Cieland walked in. In the next act both nines managed to get one score to their credit. The first of the sixth saw another run chalked up for the Aggies, while the last of the sevent gave the Jayhawkers one more credit. Ward was the star actor in this act and set the pace, with one down, by lining the horse-horse over third for three bags. "Short" Ogden then pushed the pellet for a pretty single White ball and struck White also distinguished himself by raising the ball over the right field fence but he was left to die on the second sack.

Friday's game carried with it nearly the excitement of Saturday and was nip and tuck from A to Z. It was in the last half of the fifth inning before either team was able to knock down a score, and the Kansas nine was the lucky party. Ammons managed to cross the home plate on a muffled line out of Hickory, then tied up in the next innings, however, and the seventh opened up, one all.
In the first of the seventh Manhattan slabbers were able to send one representative around the sacks, but were deferred from further scoring by Ammons picking a pretty fly out of right field for the out. The Kansas aggregation opened this inning, when the ball hit 'em well, good, his foot

He made three stations on his ticket and Ammons entered home. Hicks then put out a single and Wilson crossed the plate, making home team 3 against the defense.
But the Aggies came back and tied things up the first of the eight when Billings topped the south seats with the pellet and brought in one man. This was their last score, however, and the Kansas men won their game in the last half when Wilson came home on Walker's single, Billings, the Aggies' catcher, played the big game for his team both Friday and Saturday, and his fast whips and speedy headwork at critical times gave the Aggies their opportunities of keeping the score as it was played in both games.

SENIORS TAKE MEET IN EASY RUNAWAY
Have Little Trouble in More Than Doubling the Other Class Scores
HAZEN BREAKS SCHOOL RECORD
er Records Crowded.
In the annual inter-class track meet held on McCook field Saturday afternoon, the senior class representatives ran circles around the other contenders and more than doubled the score in the number of points gained by the other three classes. The tallest, the seniors 63, junior 12, sophomores 18 and freshmen 29.
In First Event Fast Sophomore Take High Hurdles in :16 Flat—Other Records Crowded
The meet started off with Hazen breaking the University record in the 120 yard high hurdles. The time made Allard the previous record
was 16.4 mL, over the previous Record of 16.1: Murray in the mile came very near making a name for himself as a record breaker, when he equaled the standing time for that event of 4:38. Records were tried for by Cramer in the pole vault and Butler in the discus, but neither succeeded.
The events were all well run, and,
taking into consideration the hard wind that was blowing, an extremely good showing was made. This was especially so in the 100 yard dash, when Davis crossed the tape in 10:1. Perry in the 220 low hurdles fell after clearing the last hurdle and lost the lead he had held from the start. The summary follows:

KANSAS RACKET MEN TAKE BAKER MEET
Win Four out of Possible Six Sets on University
The first match was between Nees and Hopper in the singles and ended 4-6 and 5-7 in favor of Baker. The next match was between Richardson and Allerdice and went to Kansas by the 6-4 and 6-3 route. Smith of Kansas then followed the example of Richardson and placed one more match to our credit by beating the other Allerdice with a 7-5 and 6-4 score. The final match between Burnette and Sigrist was a romp for Kansas, Burnette defeating Sigrist in two straight games by 6-1 scores.
When the exhibition of fancy racket wielding was ended Saturday afternoon, the Jayhawker tennis team held the long end of the score. Kansas won four out of a possible six matches against the Baker team.
In the doubles Kansas and Baker broke even each winning one match. The Allerdice brothers of Baker defeated the Richardson-Smith combination in the first game by 5-7 and 4-6 scores, Nees and Smith won in the final game of a tied set with Hopper and Sigrist. This was the only match in which it was necessary to play three games to decide the winner. Baker won the first set of this match by a 5-7 score but the Jayhawker sharks came back in the last two matches and captured them by a 6-3 and 6-4 score.

CHEMICALS DISPENSE SMELLS
Led by Band, Marvinians Shout Battle Cry as Forces Advance—Electric Chair as Instructor
Led by the University band the second annual Engineers' parade started from the Engineering building this morning at eleven fifteen announced to the waiting crowds of collegians, law students and medics on the campus in front of Snow hall and Green hall by a short blast of the University whistle on the "saw tooth."
Many of the members of the bana are engineering students and they marched and played in the band garbed like all the engineers, in their flannel shirts, high top boots, rough sushi hats and corduroy trousers.
Following the band, Donald Hutt drove the president of the engineers, Edmund Rhodes, Dean F. O. Marvin, Chancellor Strong, Rusty Russell, president of Engineers last year, and E. B. Black, who spoke in chapel, in his motor car. The entire engineering faculty rode in the parade in motor cars that followed the leader car.
Then floats, depicting the character of the work of the several departments in the School of Engineering, were in the parade, and in addition several side-show stunts were put on by men in the various schools.
ELECTRICALS LOCOMOTIVE
The approach of the series of floats of the electrical engineers was heralded by the clang of the great bell of a modern, well-equipped electrical locomotive. All that lacked to make the high speed demon of the eastern railways thoroughly realistic was the sing of the trolley on the wires,—inasmuch as the campus is not fitted with trolley wire and the elbow thought it would be a little too much for the line of their parade, the locomotive was equipped with storage batteries for its trip through Lawrence.
The sophomore and freshman electricals marched in a body behind the iron monster, that travels the steel highways of the country.
HOW TO ADMINISTER SNAP COURSES
Immediately the spectators were treated to the sight of a victim of the engineering professors having his curriculum administered to him through the medium of an electrical chair. A generator furnished the juice and a great dial overhead kept the professor who was clad in omnious black, acquainted with the physical and mental condition of his subject. At intervals a loud report followed by a puff of white smoke issued from the mouth of the student, showing that the professor became careless at times and attempted to inject too much knowledge at one time into the poor brain with a natural and expected overflow in the guise of an explosion.
The more domestic uses of the mystic "juice" were represented in the last float of the electricals. Visitors were requested not to talk to
the telephone operator. Yes, the telephone operator had lots and lots of blood hair goods piled in wonderful knots and fluffs on top, at the sides and in the back. The busy man in his office impatiently "rang in" to get his number and the girl insisted on flirting with the crowd of men and boys who surrounded her office.
CHEMISTRY FOLLOWED CLOSE
CHEMISTRY FOLLOWED CLASSES
All manner of dire things that happen to the engineering students were depicted as the side-stunts. Chemistry—a great hob-goblin with claws and talons outstretched—followed in the wake of frightened students.
One of the latest designs in bridge making was exhibited by the Civil engineers who are studying the art of fording canon and stream. The specimen that was shown in the parade will be shipped immediately to a maque where it will be used by the United States in the work at the canal.
It was a perfect design of the liftbridge type. Two giant towers at either end form an elevator on which the span rises at the word of the engineer who works the machinery on the rear of the float.

The highest salaried K. U. engineer is Wilson Kninear who draws $50,000 a year as president of the United States Realty and Construction Co., of New York City. Mr. Kninear did his University work in the late seventies but on account of some incomplete courses did not receive his degree until 76. He made a national reputation as the designer and builder of the Detroit river tunnel, and until recently had been head of the Kansas City Terminal Company in charge of the construction of the Kansas City Union Depot.

At the zinc and acid plant the crude zine ore is roasted and not only the zine oxide is obtained but also sulphur dioxide is obtained as a by product. The sulphur dioxide is used to make sulphuric acid. Sodium nitrate is treated with the latter acid and nitric acid is obtained. Sodium acid sulphate is left behind by another by product and sodium nitrate is formed chloride, or ordinary salt, hydrochloric acid is obtained. Another method of making hydrochloric acid is to treat sodium chloride with the sulphuric acid obtained in the second process.
HOW GAS IS MADE.
Two days were spent in Kansas City. Probably the most interesting places which they visited were the packing houses and the plant for the roasting of zinc ore and the making of nutric, sulphuric and hydrochloric acids. Both of these places were good examples of the modern methods of economy which are employed by all large manufacturing concerns.

In St. Louis, a very instructive place visited was the plant for the manufacture of gas. The gas is obtained by heating a good grade of soft coal in huge retorts, passing it through scrubbers to take out the impurities, ammonia and tar, and injecting into it a fine spray of crude oil to give it luminosity. The coke which is left after heating is fired and treated with water and the resultant water gas is treated in the same way as that obtained in the first process and it is all turned into the pipes to go all over the city.
Fellows in Industrial Chemistry Department Look Into Many Problems
Fellows in Industrial Chem-
The boys say that they never spent a harder week and had better time since they have been in school. Not only did they keep busy during the day but at night they always put in a profitable evening exchanging notes and discussing the plants which they had visited during the day. The boys say that Prof. W. A. Whitaker whohod charge of the party was a perfect demon for keeping things moving as not a moment of the time was lost during the entire trip.
In speaking of the trip this morning Professor Whitaker said, "I believe that the trip of the Chemical Engineers marks distinct advance in industrial chemistry and mentalurgy in this institution. It speaks well for the spirit existing among our engineers that sixteen men should have made such a trip voluntarily, and at their own expense. The men worked hard from beginning to end and derived much benefit from the trip."
FIVE FELLOWSHIPS IN AL
Placed by R. K. Duncan-Part of Work Already Completed as With Redmanite.
Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan, head of the industrial chemistry department of the University has placed five fellowships two of which are multiple, here in the University. The holders of these fellowships are at work on the problems which they are to solve, and some have already succeeded in completing part of their work.
Russian petroleum refinery sludges, a series of optically active naphthalene acids which belong to a series never before investigated.
Dr. E. Ward Tillotson, the holder of the fellowship on the relation between optical properties of glass and its chemical composition, has published several articles on this subject in the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry during the past year.
THE GLANDS OF THE WHALE
NOT EFFECTED BY WATER
WOULD CHANGE DATE
A fellowship on the investigation into the extraction principles of the glands of the deep sea mammals, is held by Mr. E. R. Weidlein. Mr. Weidlein has succeeded in extracting Adrenalin from the glands of the whale and has proved it to be identical in its chemical nature and physiological action with the Adrenalin obtained from cattle. He has also made improvements in the methods of extraction of this chemical.
The lacquer formed is not affected by water, grease and the various atmospheric gases. It is also used as an enamel for automobile gears, as a glass ink, for coloring and frosting electric light bulbs. They have prepared the colored and frosted bulbs in the form of the functions on the hill this year. An enamel which it will be used is the manufacture of small powder boxes and the like. The material is now being patented.
Another multiple fellowship is held by Prof. F. W. Bushong and I. W. Humphrey. They are working on the utilization of petroleum products in the manufacture of soap, and have succeeded in isolating from

ENGINEERS' CHAPEL OPENS CELEBRATION
Five Hundred Meet in Fraser and Start the Big Fireworks
E. B. BLACK MAKES ADDRESS
Says Engineers and Public Are Closely Related—Young Graduates Must See Public Duty.
The big Engineers' Day celebration started at 10 a clock this morning with special exercises in chapel. The five hundred representatives of the west end of the campus were out in full force. Dean Marvin presided.
Ernest B. Black, who graduated from the School of Engineering in 1906, made the address of the morning on "The Engineer and Public Service." Mr. Black and his partner, A. H. Worley, '03, are consulting engineers in Kansas City.
The speaker is one of the most successful graduates of the School of Engineering. He said in part:
"The engineer and the public have always been closely related from the earliest times to the present day, and the public, through its sense of fairness, has given the engineer credit for bringing about the change from the Stone Age to the Age of Marvels, by developing natural resources, inventing machinery, and doing rapid and efficient work. Strange as it may seem, it is only in the past few years that the engineer has recognized his duty of public service and the public has realized that it owes its support to every engineering undertaking calculated to advance the interests of society in general.
ENGINEERS IN BUSINESS.
"In this age everything which has to do with progress is subject to investigation; it is the spirit of the times. This spirit brought about the establishment of scientific schools and when large numbers of engineers began to go out from these schools and take their places in public life, it was natural that we engineer and the public came to have a better understanding of the demands of each upon the other."
How the engineer came to be recognized as a factor in the business world was reviewed briefly by the speaker. "Engineers now occupy many positions not closely related to the engineering profession. Technical schools are now claiming a growing percentage of graduates, so the technically trained man starts with an advantage in the business world."
ENGINEERS IN PUBLIC SERVICE.
"Engineers have taken a large part in the conservation movement which benefits the public directly." Also reclamation of public lands, marvelous achievements in the field of transportation such as highways, seemingly endless roads and canals, and the related telephone network discussed by Mr. Black as being good examples of the public service work of the engineers.
"Giving our cities adequate water supply and sewerage systems is one phase of the engineering work which is taking a larger and more important place in the public service. Every city has its power problems, heating problems, problems of water supply, in other cases of problem requiring the scientific and skilled service of engineers from every branch of the profession"

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
PROF. HOOD INVENTS PERFECT INSULATION
To Manufacture Substance Almost a Complete Barrier to Heat and Cold
BETTER FIRELESS COOKERS
More efficient means of preserving and preparing cooked food is the latest boon conferred on the domestic science department of the University and the housewives of the nation, by the School of Engineering of the University Kansas. This latest addition to the already long list of benefits conferred on the state and humanity at large by the University is an improved and highly efficient fireless cooker and refrigerator.
Refrigerators and Locomotive Boile Jackets a Few of Its Uses—To Be Made in Lawrence.
After four years of exhaustive experiments and tests, Prof. Geo. J. Hood, has perfected a new insulating material, whose immediate use is found in the manufacture of fireless cookers and refrigerators. The fireless cookers made from it are in many ways better than others now on the market. The ordinary fireless cooker, which holds heat for about four and one half hours is generally a heavy, cumbersome, box-like affair, made from wood, aluminium and mineral-wood.
INSULATION NEARLY PERFECT
The insulating qualities of the ordinary cooker are such that hot iron or soapstone disks must be used in cooking in it. In Professor Hood's new cooker, the insulating properties are so nearly perfect that the cooker is much more compact, and so efficient that no hot plates or disks are necessary in its operation.
These new cookers can be enamelled like metal, thus making them as sanitary as possible. Furthermore, the substance from which the cookers are made, is absolutely impervious to water, hot or cold, is as light as aluminum, and will withstand any amount of rough usage.
As used in refrigerators, it will prove a great boon to those who suffer from heavy ice bills, since the non-conducting properties of the material cause the ice to last much longer than in the ordinary refrigerator. It is in this line of manufacture that the company now chartered in Lawrence, expects to speech with a capital of $20,000, and as soon as the Fowler Shops can make the necessary machinery, the plant will commence manufacturing articles made with this new discovery.
The new substance will also find a practical use in the insulation of refrigerator cars and cold storage containers, boilers, pipes, and locomotives.

OLD K. U. FOOTBALL STAR
TAKEN WITH 'THE BENDS'
O; K. Williams, an old K. U. football star, who played with Bert Kennedy and Arthur St. Leger Mosein in 1948, was stricken with "the bends" recessity.
"The bends" is due to unusual air pressure in a caisson or in deep mines. No satisfactory explanation is given of the disease.
Williamson is the Wyandotte county engineer and was stricken while making the final inspection of the caisson of a Kansas City bridge at a depth of ninety-two feet.

On Engineers' day, it seems fitting to celebrate the virtues of that engineer among birds, the red headed woodpecker, Peckeria Midean Erythropterus.
This year, for the first time, the number of student tickets sold for the music festival shows a decrease from the previous year. Only 317 were sold this year which is 77 less than the number, 484, last year. "I think this is due to the unusually large number of counter attractions this year," said Dean Skilton this afternoon.

Everybody knows that fraternal orders perform an important function in society and that they are worthy of the encouragement that they receive. Lawrence has always been hospitable to such organizations and in return has become a large place on the map of fraternaldom. One of the most impressive Masonic temples in the West may be seen in this city. The Eagles lodge has a fine new building. The Fraternal Aid Association has its general offices here, housed in a magnificent three story office building. Other orders enjoy the prosperity that comes with large membership. The fraternal spirit is strong in the Athens of Kansas.

WORKS FOR STATE AND GIVES ADVIGE
Department of Electrical Engineering Is Often and Freely Consulted
IN EXISTENCE SINCE 1888
Dean Marvin in his office in Marvin Hall
Much of Thesis Work Has Practica Value—A. I.E. E. Invites Prominent Men to Meetings.
The department of Electrical Engineering is doing much practical work for the state, and it is consulted freely by municipalities and various electrical organizations in the state and also in the neighboring territory of other states.
The standardizing laboratory is called upon to maintain standards for such electrical testing laboratories as are maintained in this region. The laboratory is called upon to do certain work of the state in connection with the purchase of electrical supplies or the operation of electrical plants at other state institutions. It also helps in the investigation of various devices used as a basis for the organization of stock companies asking permission to do business in Kansas.
In conjunction with the Mechanical Engineering department, the Electrical department was able to furnish sufficient instruments and men for the very complete acceptance tests recently made at the new power plant of the Kansas Gas and Electric Company at Wichita.
The Electrical Engineering course at the University of Kansas was introduced in 1888 in connection with the department of physics, and it was associated with that department until the fall of 1909, when a separate department of electrical engineering was placed. The new department was placed in Prof. Geo. C. Shaad, formerly associate professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
PLANS WERE MADE EARLY
General plans for considerably increasing the electrical laboratory equipment had already been made, and the following year this equipment was purchased and the laboratories were moved to the basement of Marvin hall. In the purchase of additional apparatus a standardizing laboratory and a photometrical laboratory were provided for, and in addition instruments were purchased of such a range that the experiments with electrical machines need not be confined to the smaller laboratory units, but tests may be made on the larger generators and motors found in lighting and power plants and other industries. The laboratory work has been placed in charge of Prof. C. A. Johnson, with C. F. Hanson as his assistant.
An active student branch of the
TO PROVIDE COURSE BROAD TRAINING
The course in electrical engineering as offered to undergraduate students is laid out with the view of providing a broad training in the fundamental subjects, leaving the details of electrical engineering practice to a comparatively few subjects, which are taught more with the idea of giving instruction in the application of general principles to engineering practice, than with the view of gaining a considerable knowledge of such details. Graduates from this course appear to be able to hold their own when in competition with students from other schools, and they are to be found holding responsible positions in all of the various branches of the profession.
America Institute of Electrical Engineers is maintained and prominent engineers are invited in to address this society at its meetings.
About fifteen students are graduated from the course each year, and considerable of the thesis work done by these men has practical value. Among such for the present year may be mentioned the transmission tests being made on the long distance lines of the Missouri & Kansas Telephone Company and the efficiency tests to be made of the plant of the lighting and railway com- operating at Emporia.

DEAN MARVIN.
The Engineers marched in parade today, with colors afloat to the breeze and with martial music swirling and pulsating to the tramping time of their booted feet. It was a great day for the future builders of cities and tamers of wildernesses. It was a memorable manifestation of the fraternal feeling of the profession.
It was a great display of school spirit, and no empty sentiment,for the engineering graduates of the University are always among its most loyal alumni.
The University of Kansas Engineers are everywhere. They span the torrents of the Cordilleras, they raise moles in the harbor of Singapore, they tunnel the dark granite vertebrae of continents in every corner of the habitable earth.
Wherever they go there is always this esprit de corps, this jealous regard for the honor of the engineering profession as a whole, and of the graduates of the University of Kansas in particular, that is so often the wonder of those unaquainted with the traditions of the engineers at Kansas.
What is the reason?
At the head of the school is Dean Marvin. This fact is enough for those who know the school and the man. That old appellation of respect, "a gentleman and a scholar" applies to no one with greater significance. The Laws in a spirit of familiar affection term their dean, "Uncle Jimmy." But, to the engineers, Dean Marvin is simply "Dean Marvin."
Since 1875 he has been associated with the University, except for a short period when he was principal of the Lawrence High School. And since 1891 he has been Dean of the School of Engineering. In this time he has won the respect and the confidence and the filial love of every wieldier of the plumb boy that has turned his back on Mount Oread to find his fortune outside in the big drafting room of the world. He has cheered them in their moments of despair when the little red "F5" loomed dismally on their records, and he has been the first to congratulate them when they stepped proudly down from the high platform in Fraser hall with that stiff roll of parchment in their tight-clenched fists.
He has ever been the model of the engineering students, refined, modest, dignified, kindly, and to the engineers themselves, loving like a father.
Is it a wonder that their regard for him is so fond, their reverence for him so deep and their honor for him so high?
APPLICATION OF SCIENCE
APPLICATION OF SCIENCE
In a report that Chancellor Strong once made to the Governor of the state showing the various ways in which the University was of material aid to the people of the state, he enumerated thirty-nine different fields of activity in which the professors gave the benefit and results of their research work and fund of knowledge to the state.
The School of Engineering holds a high place in the ranking of these activities. This winter Professor W. C. Hoad made extensive trips through the southern part of Kansas testing new municipal water supply plants, sewage systems and various other institutions of the civil engineer's making, often testing the work of engineers who were formerly his students at the University.
By means of these expert advisers, furnished free by the University, even the smallest towns are enabled to incorporate the very latest scientific principles into their plants at a minimum expense.
This practical relation between the people of the state and their University is unquestionably of the greatest mutual benefit. It teaches the people to do things scientifically, and it teaches the University the practical application of science.
THE ENGINEERS' FLANNEL SQUARES
SHIRTS
"Lace boots and flannel shirts are the engineers' 'ear marks,' " visitors to the University are told.
Such is the case. The engineers are proud of their School and they are proud of their chosen profession. Anything connected with it, from the hardships to the rewards they embrace all alike.
The flannel shirt habit is an ola one with the Kansas engineers. However, only in comparatively recent years have the different classes and schools adopted distinct shirts in color and design.
The senior Electricals were the first in the field with their green flannels. The geen is in honor to the engineers' patron saint, Patrick. The senior Civilis wear an army drab shirt with a blue transit on the pocket. The junior Electricals' shirt is an army drab color with the letters, "EE." in black on the pocket.
The Chemicals, the Mechanicals,
and the Civils, from the juniors down,
have adopted standard school shirts. The Chemicals have a delicate light blue shirt with the emblems on the pocket. The Mechanicals' shirt is wine-colored. The Civils' shirt, adopted this year, is gray, with a blue transit on one pocket and the class numeral on the other.
CONTESTANTS ON BOTH SIDES
A comparison of the results of the inter-collegiate track meets in the far West and in the East show that the men of the Pacific coast are fast becoming the rivals of the Atlantic-shore runners, who have for a long time held injiolate the honor of the world's amateur records. Already one University in the west holds the records for the high jump and the pole vault, and the time in the races approaches that made by the best men in the East.
This rivalry between the two coasts of the United States should be minimized and equalized by the track athletes of the middle West and the Mississippi valley. The power of the East encountered the prowress of the middle western runner in the Pennsylvania meet last Friday and Saturday when Nicholson of Missouri ran away from a field of Eastern men in the high hurdles. Kansas and Missouri should be the hot-bed of a new athletic power in the country that will make itself felt in both the East and the West.
President Harper of the University of Chicago always insisted upon being provided with a class or two in a favorite subject, no matter how busy he might be in the work of building up of a great institution; and many colleges president follow the same course. But the emphasis laid upon the executive side of men in this position tends to obscure the fact that increase of learning rather than of resources is the real aim of their work. For one of them to leave his office and mount the platform must be a powerful reminder of this aim to his audience as well as to himself.—New York Post.
The old idea that a university president could take the place of any member of his faculty in the lecture-room at a moment's notice has been in danger of being supplanted by the notion that in more knowledge a bright sophomore could put him to shame, owing to the modern president's immersion in questions of endowment and material equipment and administration. It is somewhat reassuring, therefore, to learn that President Lowell is throwing himself into the breach created by the temporary absence of the professor of government at Loyola, actually deliver lectures to the classes itself with a fortuitous unanticipated vocation.
MEN WHO ARE BIG
"When I graduate from Michigan I will slip into $200,000 per," modestly exclaimed Miss B, the future senior.
THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
"Perhaps," said the freshman. —Michigan Gargoyle.
"Per what?" inquired Miss H. the soph.
When in hot water call on your
friends; they will be cool enough.
The waiting student--Get me a chunk of ice, will you?
Mr. Graduate—Wish that kid would shut up.
The Siren.
The student waiter—Can't serve hard drinks on Sunday.
Mrs. Graduate—Why I do believe our little man is destined for a yell leader. —Stanford Chaparral.
Yale Record.
Cyrus (before curtain rises)—"Come on Mirandi, let's get our money back. We seen this goldburned asbestos show last year."
'15—Do you think track meets are on the square?
Stanford Chaparral.
'13—No, they're on the oval.
—Chaparral.
Bank President--But why do you wish to work in a bank?
Cornell Widow.
Serious Youth-I believe there's money in it.
'13—No, they're on the oval.
English Stude--Professor, I just finished "Hamlet."
Prof. — Did Ivid find in interesting?
English Stude — Wail, there was one
thing I just couldn't finger out. Every
word I made didn't fit into the
put in which says "exuent Omnes."
I'll be blamed if I could find out why
that eink Ommes was.
Prof.—Did you find it interesting?
First Stude- Did you see that donkey fall on Orange Street, yesterday, and break his leg?
Second Stude—Did they blame the driver?
The Minne-Ha-Ha
First Stude—No! they said it was the asphalt. —Record.
History Prof. What do you know about Egyptian deities, Mr. Smith? Smith—Not very much, sir, I smoke Fatimas. —The Siren.
"Do you know you remind me of it a harp struck by lightning?"
"Because it is a blasted lyre."
"Did ye see as Jim got ten years' penal for stealing that 'oss?'
"What's that bump on your head?"
"That's where a thought struck me."
—The Widow.
—London Sketch.
"Serve him right, too. Why didn't he buy the 'oss and not pay for him like any gentleman?"
"Did you see the fight in the Chem. Lab."
“What fight?”
“Sulphite.”
He then ascended up above,
here was a bold young engineer Who's just got out of school;
ENGINEERS' RAMBLE SONG
Yale Record.
Ie got a job, as electric man,
Ie had a lot of great big books,
And knew he was no fool.
He wanted to the chief engineer,
But Satan said. "You can't;
And thought he's make some tin,
They sent him up a big tall pole
To put a feeder in.
They set him marking station-pins,
But he didn't know the code.
And on he rambled—
And knocked at the golden gate. The city—it was full of Laws—
He then went down into the depths,
Where Satan runs the plant.
So they ditched him twelve miles out of camp,
And let him hunt the road.
Oh, didn't he ramble—
They wanted him to take his place Upon the gilded throne,
He lost his grip and tumbled back. But grabbed the wires bright,
Then hung on for a moment till The juice put out his light.
There are no engineers down here,
For that could never be."
Oh, didn't he ramble—
Then he said, "I guess I'll rumble on.
This is no place for me."
But he said, "I guess I'll ramble on, I'd rather be alone."
The city—it was full of Laws—
He saw he was too late.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
With the grene leaves whispring over-

O for a Booke and a shadie nooke,

For a jollic goode Booke whereon to look.

SCHOOLS OF TECHNOLOGY
THE Maryland legislature has shown a truly progressive spirit in voting an appropriation of $600,000, to be provided by a state bond issue, and $50,000 annually for the building and maintenance of a school of technology for John Hopkins University.
To 129 young men of the counties of Maryland and of Baltimore are to be given scholarships on the basis of representation in the house of delegates. There are to be six scholarships at large and three allotted to each of seven prominent colleges in the state.
SCHOLARSHIPS ON MERIT
The holders of any of the scholarships, except those awarded to the students of the designated colleges, must be deserving young men who would be unable financially to gain a technical training unless free tuition were allowed. The free college scholarships are to be given to applicants having the best scholastic standing, regardless of their financial circumstances. To each of the 27 senatorial districts is given a bonus of $200 a year to support one youth from each district, who could not otherwise attend the school even with free tuition.
The establishment of the school itself, and the arrangement under which the scholarships are to be awarded, are worthy of the strongest commendation. The school will furnish to the young men of Maryland an opportunity for a technical training that will equip them to play their part in the development of the South—a development that is already under way, but which will increase rapidly from now on.
There are already unlimited opportunities throughout the United States for boys who wish merely an academic training. The system of public schools furnishes the essential education in the fundamentals.
ALL FOR EFFICIENCY
The public school, however, merely turns out young men and young women with fair education, unequipped for any kind of technical work. Such schools as the one established in connection with Johns Hopkins is designed and the country needs if the future generation is to be made efficient.
The tendency toward manual training and technological schools is growing stronger; and it cannot grow too strong. Every dollar invested in this kind of education is certain to bring compound interest to the state that spends the money. Every student turned out by the new branch of Johns Hopkins University will be worth ten times the money spent in the technical ability he will bring to the development of the state itself and to the country.—Washington Post.
EARNING THEIR WAY
THROUGH COLLEGE
A college senior earned by acting as press representative for an actress $1,659, by tutoring $900, and by writing play librettos $100, a total of $2,740, in one academic year, October 1, 1910 to June 1, 1911. Another, a junior, earned $875 by tutoring and library research; a sophomore $525 by playing the role of a librarian; a freshman law $454.73 from gymnasium work, tutoring and old jobs. That was at Columbia College, where careful statistics have been made of students who work for all or a part of their college expense.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray.
Help me from strain of sin Just for today.
Let me both diligently work
Let me be kind in word and deed Just for today.
Let me be slow to do my will Prompt to obey.
come to sacrifice myself Just for today.
Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinking say,
Put Thou Thy seal upon my lips Just for today.
So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray.
But keep me, guide me, hold me, Lord
Lord, just.

SCHOLARSHIPS HONOR FORMER GRADUATES
Aid for University Women in Memory of All the Students
Of the three memorial scholarships offered to the young women of the University, two are in the name of young women who were graduates of the University of Kansas.
Marcella Howland was the daughter of the Rev. Clark G. Howland, for seventeen years pastor of the Uritarian Church of Lawrence. She was graduated from the University in order of nine girls in a class of twenty-six.
At the University, of Kansas she was interested especially in English and French, and took part in the first senior play given at the University.
After her graduation, Marcella Howland went to Bryn Mawr, to take a year of graduate work in the East. Her death occurred in 1894.
Five years' later, in 1899, Mrs. Howland and her daughter, Mrs. T. H. Chalkley, of 1121 Ohio street, Lawrence, the Marecella Howland Scholarship.
Five girls have held the scholarship, which is open to junior and senior girls. The amount is the interest to increase, the amount intends to increase the sum by $500.00
Lucinda Smith, the daughter of Mrs. C. S. Smith, and sister of Mrs. W. A. Griffith, 1200 Louisiana, was a graduate of the University and a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. She was married to Mr. Fred Buchan, in 1898 at San Francisco. Mr. Buchan had enlisted in the 20th Kansas, and on his way to the Phillipines. In October of that year, on the transport "Indiana," Mrs. Buchan followed her husband to the Phillipines, where she remained until her death, April 17, 1899.
In the fall of 1899, the Alumnae of Pi Beta Phi established the Lucinda Smith Buchan memorial scholarship, open to young women of the junior and senior classes. The scholarship is a loan of $200.00 without interest for two years, and then interest of 5 per cent until paid.
For the first year or two, extra money had to be raised for the scholarship, but it is now self-supporting. One year there were two girls held it. In all, they received the benefit of this help and once only has it gone to a member of the sorority.
The Eliza Matheson Innes scholarship was established in November, 1911 by Mr. George Innes, as a memorial to her husband, who always been interested in young people.
Mr. and Mrs. Innes came to Lawrence forty years ago and established a home here in the West. Two years ago, Mr. Innes and his wife went abroad to spend a year with a daughter in Berlin, where Mrs. Innes died in 1910.
The Eliza Matheson Innes memorial scholarship is open to young women of the College above the freshman class, and is a gift of $100.00.
IN GREAT DEMAND AND VERY SCARCE
WHITE PIQUES
In addition to these scholarships, the Collegiate Alumnae has maintained a small cash scholarship for the last two or three years. In the hands of Mr. E. Brown, treasurer, is an Aid Fund for women students. From this fund, gifts of $10.00 are offered.

SENIOR THESES ADD
MUCH TO KNOWLEDGE
Engineers Gather Fund of Valuable Information Before Graduation
FOWLER SHOPS, A GIFT TO THE UNIVERSITY
HELP IN STATE WORK, TOO
Every Man Who Gets a Sheepskin This Year Working on Some Line of Research
All senior engineers are required to prepare a thesis on some original subject, and the results of the investigations in connection with the thesis work constitutes a fund of valuable information. Much of the information thus obtained becomes of value to every resident of the state. Methods for the better disposal of sewage are formulated; the uses of domestic soap powders are determined; new phases of electricity are developed, and many more similar subjects are thoroughly investigated
The students who are working on theses this year and the subjects are:
Electricals: Elmer Dershem, testing of instrument transformers in power plants; Forest C. Walden and Orin E. Marvel, efficiency of telephone transmission; Ross I. Parker and H. F. Wilson, reliability and serviceability of electric meters; Leslie A. Baldwin and Emerson L. Bray, visibility of using alternating or direct current for power and lighting in a Kansas City suburb; Carl F. Hanson and Edward E. Stephens, armature reaction in a rotary converter; B. Roy Mock and Charles V. Waddington, test of the Emporia electric power plant; Thomas P. Steeper and Glenn O. Brown, tests of Lawrence street railway motors, and Martin K. Thonen and Daniel H. Cadmus, new features of magnetic separation of ores.
Mechanicals: R. H. Forney and Volney Hilford, efficiency tests of the 1,000 horse-power gas pressure unit of the Scipio pump station of the Kansas Natural Gas Company; Lawrence L. Browne and Charles G. Martinson, efficiency of universal joints in automobile construction; Murray Holley for the Connexion plant; handling at the Witte Gas Engine works in Kansas City, and Ray L.Bartlett, effects of compression on steam engine economy.
Sanitary and Civilis: Thomas P. King and Joseph O. Moffett, design of a reinforced concrete building; John P. Boesche and Fred E. Johnston, impounding reservoir and dam to furnish water supply for a city of fifteen thousand inhabitants; Guy S. Smith and Roy M. Smith, farm drainage; H. L Wilson, H. H. Houk, Thomas P. Humphrey, Ralph J. Tucker and Herbert Stockwell, effects of repeated loads on reinforced concrete beams; Perry C. Cole, measurement of water by triangular wiers; H. U. Becker and Bert E. Dodge, plans and specifications for reinforced concrete bridge over the Smoky Hill river at Ellsworth, Kansas.
Chemicals: Arch MacKinnon, water and flourine; Edmund O. Rhodes, determination of phenol; Harold K. Shaw, test for the determination of free chlorine in treated water; Glen S. Pyle, influence of metals upon pinholes in enamel; C. C. Spillman, lemon extracts; Charles J. Robinson, investigation of calcium fluoride; Howard N. Calderwood, action of metallic sodium upon organic halogen compounds; Halothane E. L. Griffith, the interaction of formamidines with compounds containing methylene hydrogen; Charles E. Cubbinson, powder gases, and Gilbert E. Bragg soap powders.
To Make Bigger Campus.
Miners: Oliver L. Andrews, explosibility of coal dust; Morton G. Monroe, assay of platinum ores and George M. Brown, coal washing tests.
A plan to enlarge the campus of the University of Illinois, which will provide for the location of the new stock judging pavilion, army, horticultural buildings, palace ground, stadium, and military patio ground must be added to the board of trustees for approval.
Raise Vegetables on The Campus.
The unused portion of the Princeton campus, amounting to 150 acres, will be turned over to students for farming purposes, as a means of sliding undergraduates to earn their way through college.

"A Few Courses Which Students Contemplating Marriage Should Take While in the University," was the subject of Prof. H. P. Cady's toast at the Sigma Xi banquet Friday night.
"University offers several courses which are especially important to those students who ever expect to get married," said Professor Cady, "and such students will do well to take advantage of the opportunities offered by university to further prepare themselves for the marriage state."
Courses which should be taken by the women should take are, "The Romantic School," "Descriptive Astronomy," "Lyric Poetry," "Domestic Relations," "The Family," and "The House."
Courses which should be taken by the man alone, the woman not having any use for them, are, "Debating," "Principles of Argumentation," "Gas Analysis," "Accounting," and "Prose Invention."
A few courses which would be of use to the would-be-bride are, "Dietetics" "Home Administration," and "Foods."
After the above courses have been taken, both could take "Money and Credit" to their advantage. A little later, they should take "Musical Appreciation," "Early English," "Introduction to Phonetics," "Corrective and Remedial Agencies," and "Grammar and Reading."
NOBLE YELLOW DOG
AVERTS A TRAGEDY
Death seemed near, when around the corned dashed a little yellow dog, who boldly seized the beast by the throat and throttled him.
One of the most popular professors, Dr. L. V. Redman of the department of Industrial Research, has the chicken raising hobby.
The yellow cur was the hero of the hour. Dr. Redman says he his life to his membership in the mystic yellow dog.
He is very careful of his proteges, and last evening when he heard some large animal clawing and scarcching on his coop, he started for the rumpus in a rage. He called to his colleague, Professor Trickey, and the two armed themselves with brooms and started the attack.
UNIVERSITY GIRL ASSISTS
WELL KNOWN ORGANIST
The large, ferocious beast proved to be a blood-thirsty gray rat, which immediately gave chase to the Professors.
A very high compliment was paid Edith Male Bideau when she was invited to assist Edward Krieser of Kansas City in his one hundred and forty-seventh recital at the Independence Boulevard Christian Church.
Mr. Kreiser is a well known organist and his recitals commands large audiences. Miss Bridian sang, "I Will Extol Thee," by Michael Costa, and responded to an encore with "He Shall Lead His Flock," from "The Messiah."
OLD STUDENT UPHOLDS
K. U. ENGINEERING COURSE
"Complete the course in engineering at the University of Kansas," is the advice recently received from B. F. Clawson, an old engineering student of the University.
Clawson left the University in 1910 while in his junior year. He went to Seattle, Wash., where he obtained work with a surveying company. At present he is finishing his engineering course at the University of Washington.
Clawson's advice to all the engineers is to finish their course at the University before seeking employment.
WOMEN DON'T LIKE TRANSIT AND LATHE
But Five Have Been Regularly Enrolled in Engineering School
Engineering has never been a popular course for women at the University, however, five women have been enrolled regular, in the engineering school science it was founded and many have taken special courses.
Elmira Noyes, Beth Boright, Ada Wilson, Martha Ellen White, and Frances Bliss were all regular engineers who taught in 1901-1904, but none of them graduated.
Miss Wilson was a chemical engineer, the others were civils. Miss Noyes is now teaching manual training in the schools at Norfolk, Va.
In 1907, a one hour class in shop work was opened for girls. There were eighteen girls enrolled and their work was in special manual training, such as wood-work and metal work. This course was continued until this year, when it was given up owing to lack of teaching time of instructors in the department.
Several High School teachers come to summer school for the purpose of taking engineering courses. Drafting, mechanical drawing, descriptive geometry, and foundry work are the popular courses for women in the summer school.
TO TEST BEAMS FOR NEW UNION STATION
---
Force of 16,300 lbs. Falls on Beams Twenty Times Each Minute
Concrete beams such as will be used in the new Union station building at Kansas City, which is now being built, will be tested in the laboratories of the University of Kansas. The testing will be done in the spring as the work now being done by Prof. C. I. Corp, Prof H. A. Rlee, and five students, on beams made at the University.
These beams are tested on a machine which was built in the basement of Fowler Shops. The machine is simple but effective. Weights are dropped on the ends of two levers, the other ends of which strike the suspended beam at the same time. About 600 pounds are put on the end of each lever, from which a force of 16,300 lb. falls onto the beam at a rate of 20 times a minute. They tested with this weight sustained 2,000 blows before it crashed.
The beams are 13 feet long with a cross section 8 by 11 inches and reinforced with 3 half-inch steel rods. The object of the testing being done is to measure the weight a weight may be applied any number of times without breaking the beams.
It has been found that the beams will break immediately under a weight of 17,500 pounds. Ninety per cent of this weight can be withstood for about 2,000 times, eighty per cent for 6,000 times, and so on, the number of times increasing rapidly as the weight is diminished slowly. It is estimated by the theorem that the beam will be able to withstand the matter how many times it is applied, about 55 per cent of the weight that will break it immediately.
The results of these experiments will be valuable to bridge builders, as most as most of the weight which bridge construction requires during short time, at longer or shorter intervals.

APRIL NUMBER APPEARS
Graduate Magazine Contains Many Articles of Especial Interest
The April number of the Graduate Magazine is out today with the leading article by Chancellor Strong on, "The University," an article addressed especially to graduates and former students of the University.
Captain Palmer Pierce, instructor in the War College at Fort Leavenworth, comes out this month with a strong article on, "The Meaning of the Amateur Law of Athletics and the Necessity for It." Another article well worth notice in the athletic notes of this issue is, "Early Interclass Football," by Charles Ernest Hall, class of '86.
The review of "Books and Articles" this month gives mention of thirteen different books and articles by instructors and alumni of the University, including "High School Education"; by Dean Charles H. Johnston, by Dr. Charles G. Dunlighn, by Dr. Charles G. Dunlighn, by were contributed by Prof. S. J. Hunter, Prof. W. H. Twenffoll and Mary Leland Hunt.
A special feature of the April issue is the chart showing a comparison in regard to the number of teachers who received training in the University of Kansas schools, with information and graphs by the School of Education.
The frontispiece this month is an unusually fine photograph of the Chancellor taken in his study.

ENGINEERS' SHARE IN GROWTH OF KANSAS
Though an Agricultural State Yet Millions Found Under the Soil.
STATE SERVICE WORK ALSO
Bridges, Cement, Road Stone, Water Supply, Sewage and Drainage Projects Tested by University
Dean F. O. Marvin, in an address at the exercises in dedication of the new engineering buildings, told of the early days of the school and in closing said:
“Conditions in Kansas have changed materially, within the last fifteen years. Great wealth has been taken out of its soil. While still an agricultural state, there has developed a desire on the part of its people for a better standard of living, and for opportunities for investment of funds in new enterprises. Our cities and towns are engaged in making public improvements; water-supply and sewerage systems, plants for lighting and power, street paving, permanent bridges, etc. Our rural communities are demanding good roads as a means of solving transportation problems, and as aids to a better and stronger social life.
MINERAL WEALTH IN KANSAS
"We are finding sources of great wealth in the state other than those that arise from the cultivation of the soil. Some of these have long been known and yet recently, have been more largely exploited. Our coal, lead, and zinc mines are examples. Some sources are of later origin, such as the oil and gas which furnish cheap power and an opportunity for the development of many forms of manufacturing. Then there are the surface shales and clays which so far have been utilized chiefly in the manufacture of brick and Portland cement, but which undoubtedly have still other and perhaps more valuable uses.
Who entered the faculty 37 years ago and has directed the engineering work since its establishment. Admired and loved by the hundreds of engineering "boys" in all parts of the country.
SCHOOLS DO THEIR SHARE
"The present values of these products in Kansas are much larger than most people are aware of. The lead and zinc ores, together with the output of Kansas smelters, represent from ten to twelve million dollars annually. The non-metallic products represent two and one-half to three times as much more, or a total of about forty millions each year. The further development of these and other new sources of wealth must be largely in the hands of men well trained in scientific matters.
"The state institutions, as creatures of the state, and in return for its generous support, must carry their share of responsibility in the investigation of scientific matters pertaining to this development. They must also furnish the young men who are to be the active agents and participants, not only in the early stages of the movement, but also as directors of enterprises growing out of it. From the very nature of the work to be done, very much of it must fall to the engineering staff with the help of scientific workers in all directions; for any fact of nature may at any time suddenly become the one key to a successful solution. There has therefore been established in connection with this School an engineering experiment station, designed to undertake the study of scientific problems of direct interest

to engineers and to industries of the state.
"Another responsibility that is being thrown upon the University is that of furnishing expert advice to the state government and to the various communities and municipalities. The University and other state schools are being utilized more and more each year as the scientific arms of the state. These kinds of service while of great value to the commonwealth and while the men and the equipment of these institutions are well fitted for the purpose, bring about certain difficulties as well as advantages. The chief difficulty
all is to the finest results, no matter how large a scientific bureau is maintained, the chief function of a school like this is to train men; men of strength and integrity, ready for efficient work, believing in it, loving it, and holding a high standard of daily life."

lies in finding the time absolutely needed for careful investigation and study of the results of research on the part of those whose duties are already large. Some problems demand the entire time of the investigator. The advantage is that all teachers who have some part in investigation become better teachers. It is also true that students who may be permitted to have some part in this kind of work become better students with a promise of becoming stronger men. The whole question is one largely of funs, distribution of labor, and a wise adaptation of means to the given end.
"This new phase of activity must not in any way be allowed to lower the standard of efficiency in the training of young men for the engineering profession. For after all, no matter how large and complete the material equipment of an institution may become, necessary as it

TELL HOW TO SPEND TWO MILLION DOLLARS
University Sanitary Engineers Supervise Municipal Works
WORK DOUBLED IN TWO YEARS
Professor Hoad And Assistants Investigate Many Local Conditions at Request of Cities
Two million dollars worth of work in municipal sanitary engineering which has been done in Kansas in the past year has been examined and approved by Prof. W. C. Hoad, of the department of civil engineering.
"The demand on the University for this kind of state service work has doubled in the past year," said Chancellor Strong yesterday. "Professor Hoah has visited and given expert advice to 100 Kansas alumni and town leaders, 'What are the glad', the Chancellor added, 'that the interest in growing.'"
The Dean of the School of Engineering has for years been the sanitary expert and engineer for the state Board of Health and has given much of his time and energies to the investigations and reports of matters relating to municipal sanitation. With the passage of the water and sewage law in 1907 which placed upon the State Board of Health large and important duties in connection with public water supplies and with the preservation of the purity of the waters of the state, the volume of engineering work connected with this department became so great that it was impossible for one man to handle it all. At the request of the State Board of Health another member of the faculty of the School of Engineering was appointed to carry on the active work as engineer for the Board the dean still retaining his connection with the Board as its sanitary advisor. Prof. W. C. Hoad was appointed.
This work requires the investigation of all proposed water supply and sewage projects and especially requires the determination of what is to be demanded of cities or corporations in the way of water purification or of sewage disposal. In the past two years about two hundred projects of this kind amounting to over two million dollars have been investigated and the plans for them are at present work on hand amounting to two million dollars, for which only partial investigation has been made or for which plans and specifications have not yet been completed or approved.
In addition to this work which is specifically required by law, many investigations and reports have been made at the request of city councils for conferences or advice relating to the betterment of existing water supplies, the renewing of franchises, the purchase of water works, or sewage systems, the operations of purification plants and the like.

ANALYZE KANSAS CLAY
Ceramic Laboratory Now Be ing Installed---Will Make Practical Tests
Work has begun at the Ceramic Laboratory with the testing of a sample of clay from a brick yard at Iola. It is hoped that this laboratory will be the stimulus that will make the clay industry one of the greatest in Kansas.
Three million dollars worth of brick and tile are turned out every year by the Kansas industries, but this amount could be increased many times if the commercial value of the clay in the state were known. The Ceramic Laboratory hopes to bring the state to realize the great opportunities which exist for the development of this industry.
A regular brick yard has been installed and is ready for the business of making clays of unknown value into different kinds of brick or tile.
By thus subjecting the clays to service tests it is determined what use the clays will be.
These practical tests are supplemented by analysis which show whether a clay has the wearing qualities which make it pay to make brick out of it.
As soon as the analysis now on hand have been disposed of the machinery will be started and the first bricks turned out.
Beside the sample being tested there are about 15 others on hand, including one from Hastings, Nebraska.

WILL SHERWIN NINE KNEEL TO BAKERITES?
Jayhawker Slabsters to Commune With Methodists on Their Diamond
THE MIGHTY ZABEL TO PITCH
ting Good
But the Kansas Crew Will Not be Caught Napping; Men All Hit-
Tomorrow afternoon the wielders of the big stick for the University of Kansas will invade the sanctuaries of the Methodist's camp and there attempt to humble the mighty Zabel and his nine and at the same time virtually clinch the Missouri Valley championship.
The bear stories that have reached the ears of the Jayhawner fans have been grizzly in aspect, and when Sherwin and his men run out upon the Baker diamond Wednesday afternoon it will not be with the assurance of having a big basket full of fruit ready and ripe for them, but it will be with the knowledge of entering a fight to the finish where the best team wins. The Bakerette what might be termed a cracker-jack nine this year and the rumors from their camp have it that they fully expect to clip the wings of the Jayhawner bird and let it walk back home.
Though the Baldwin aggregation were beaten with a 3 to 0 score by the College of Emporia Saturday afternoon, the mainstay of the team was not in his regular position. Zabel is being saved to pitch the game of his career against his Alma Mater tomorrow, and Saturday he held down the right corner of the diamond.
The mighty Zabel, who attended the University of Kansas last year, has been showing up in excellent form throughout the season and is expecting to sign up with the Kansas City Blues June 1. In a game with Ottawa last week this phenomenal pitcher struck out seventeen men. And it was not an accident either. It was merely a repition of former stunts that he has been putting on all spring.
So the chances look pretty good for the Methodist sabbaters and they will no doubt make the red and blue socked boys hump to keep their end of the teeter-toter from getting too close to the ground.
But Sherwin is not to be caught napping and the Jayhawker crew might have a few surprises of their own to pull off. Walker, besides being developed into a pinch hitter, has been greatly benefited by his lay off Saturday, and the depe points that his part of the performance will be no small surprise. Also about him: Ammons with his "loaded bat" is also expected to be a star performer and the other seven men are in the pink of condition.
Altogether, the mixup promises to be about as exciting as the K. U.-Aggie scrap, and the University fans who go down from here need have no fear of being disappointed in seeing the exhibition of the national past-time.
A crowd of five University men who are broke, but wish to see the game, have announced their intention of walking the sixteen miles between Lawrence and Baldwin Wednesday morning. A special train will leave for Baldwin Wednesday afternoon at 1:30. It will return to Lawrence the same night.

TWO MINUTES WITH CAMPUS CELEBRITIES
"I belong to the Congregational church," said Frank Olin Marvin, "and have been Dean of the School of Engineering since it was organized in 1891. Personally, I prefer pajamas to the old fashioned night-shirt."
"No. I do not blow the class whistle myself. I was born in 1852, and was baptized while very young. If boot-legging is carried on in the basement of this building I know nothing about it."
"I use tobacco. Sometimes I smoke and sometimes I chew. My teeth are in fine condition. I do not comb my moustache with a steel fork. The question is absurd. I don't comb it, anyway."
"The report that I am taking a correspondence course in hypnosis is ridiculous. I couldn't hypnotize anything, I love oysters in any place, do not know that a knowledge of military tactics is necessary for young men."
"As far as I know, I have never been bitten by any poisonous snake or reptile."
ENGINEERS PARADE
PAST LAW BUILDING
IN MIGHTY ARRAY
(Continued from page 1)
(Continued from page 1)
A manikin showing the condition of the law student after the famous law-engineer snow ball battle on the campus last winter, was hustled along. The manikin was "all in down and out" and its appearance gave rise to many howls of derision and hoots of defiance on the part of both laws and engineers.
The sanitary engineers were busy on their float cleaning out the dirt from the four corners of the earth. Following the cleaners came the largest float in the entire parade, the angry mob of engineers riding on a large wagon provided with circus seats. They insisted in taunting the rest of the University with their yell and throwing jibs at all their acquaintances. How fine it all was to be an engineer, especially on Engineers' Day and in the Engineers' parade.
HAWORTH OIL CO.
The Miners announced the approach of the Haworth Oil Co. by a musical triumvirate. The drums beat to accompany the shrill note of the fife. At the oil well, the engines were busy drilling for a "shoot" and all the men were in a hurry to complete it before dinner time. Two burros laden with the paraphernalia of their mountains showed in realistic fashion the appearance of the miner in search for the wealth of the ground.
FLED THE CHEMICALS APPROACH After the miners had passed, a lull came and silence passed over the spectators. Then someone cried out, "The Chemicals," and everyone turned to seek a safe place out of reach of any nauseating odors that follow in the wake of the chemistry people.
However, the Chemists were not to be disappointed. Their mixture of "phenyl-isocyanide" reached the entire crowd, routed them from their standing places and set them to holding their noses and crying out against the men of a thousand fumes. The law students were forced to leave the steps of Green hall where they had escended themselves and to take refuge from the smell on the south side of the roadway on the leeward of the line of march of the parade.
Following the mechanical shops, the wild animal cage guarded by two trustees came dragging along in the rear. Captured at the risk of many lives and only after patient efforts, he was captured by a man named Nason, and were taking great pains to see that he did not escape on the campus again.
A FEW SIDELIGHTS ON K. U. ENGINEERS
Many of the 450 Who Have Graduated Are Making Good.
"There are over 450 graduates of the School of Engineering since its inception and organization in 1873," said F. N. Raymond, English professor in the Engineering School. "It is impossible to keep in touch with them because they are so widely scattered—scattered to the four winds of the earth, one might say.
"However, a record of some of the graduates and the work that they are doing is kept at the office of the School of Engineering. The following will show what some of the Kansans are doing."
Murray Harris, '73, was the first graduate of the school. He is now a civil engineer in Baird, Texas.
Millard Shalar, '04, has been in Africa a number of years in charge of a mining business for a German corporation.
Mamoru Jio, '08, and H. Y. Kasano, '99, are in charge of engineering work in Japan.
Victor Walling, '01, is managing a mining company in Mexico.
John M. Robinson, '92, was last heard of building a railroad in Brazil.
need to capturing it. oyn of the River Ireland '94, is over in men in charge of the construction of a railway over the small islands south of Florida.
One or two graduates are now practicing law, many are farmers, a great many are contract engineers or are in the service of construction companies. Some twenty or more are in the employ of the General Electric company, with headquarters in New York City.
Ernest Blacker, '93, is a member of the faculty at Cornell University N. Tartu学院。
Burt McColum, '03, is an electrical engineer for the United States bureau of standards.
E. B. Noyes, '74, has for years been in the employ of the government at Newport News, Virginia.
E. F. Stimpson, '90, also a member of the faculty of the University, is studying the practice of weights and measures for Kansas and he is also connected with similar work for the United States.
Graduates of the School of Engineering have also engaged in other work such as mercantile business, publishing and teaching. Frank P. MacLennan is editor of the State Journal, well known well '92, is a member of the faculty of the Belleville Hospital Medical School, New York City.
B. J. Dalton, 90, professor of railway engineering at the University is delegated to make a study of the railroads in the state of Kansas.
Several University of Kansas engineers have made important inventions. In many cases useful work is being done which is well paid for though not well advertised. Even the name of the man, in many instances, will not be known in the place where he is doing what engineers consider an important and difficult task.

Ammons is the man with the big stick, having batted 391. Captain Hicks is close behind him with a percentage of 308. The percentage of the whole team being 232. The Kansas baseball hopes have collected in all 53 bits 21 of which have been of more than one can win胜利.
An addition of the box scores of the Kansas baseball nine shows that at present six men are batting close around the 250 mark. This is remarkably good for a College team and especially considering the class of pitchers that have been opposing these Kansas pellet wallopers.
