KANSAS OR MANHATTAN
CHAMPIONSHIP MISSOURI VALLEY DECIDED NEXT WEEK.
Kansas Beat St. Mary's 10 to 2 Record of the Year-Football for Next Year.
Friday afternoon the fast St. Mary's baseball team played the Jayhawkers on McCook and were defeated in a one-sided contest by the decisive score of 10 to 2. The Catholics were at the mercy of Hoffman throughout the exhibition while the St. Mary's pitchers were anything but effective.
Kansas started the scoring in the second round. Gibbs was hit by a pitched ball, Angney got to first on a fielder's choice, Rockefeller sacrificed, and Gibbs and Angney both scored on passed balls.
In the sixth the whole St. Marys team took an ascension and the Jayhawkers collected six runs. Carlson was hit, Gibbs was passed, Angney got a single, Rockerfeller was passed forcing in Carlson, Van Cleave got a two bagger scoring two more, McLenon was passed, and Hoffman cleared the bases with a long three-bagger.
St. Marys and Kansas got one apiece in the sixth and the eighth. Neither of the Catholic runs were earned.
The score:

Missouri Valley Champions.
By decisively defeating the St. Mary's aggregation the Jayhawkers have gone a step nearer to the baseball championship of Kansas and of the Missouri Valley and at the present time the only worthy disputer of Kansas' claim is the Aggie team from Manhattan. A series of three games between the two schools next week will definitely decide the issue.
Next Year's Football.
The football schedule for next autumn is the hardest that a Jayhawker team has gone up against for some time. On September 28, the Emporia Normals play on McCook. Ottawa comes to Lawrence October 3; the Aggies on October 10; Oklahoma on October 17; Washington on October 24, and after a week's rest Kansas will go into four big games on successive Saturdays. Washburn starts the strenuous work on McCook on November 7; the Jayhawkers go to Nebraska November 14 and to Iowa on November 21. It has not yet

BEGINS TONIGHT
FINE ARTS CONCERT OPENS COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Former K. U. Athletes to Meet After Dedication of Robinson Gymnasium June 8.
The first event of the Commencement program will be given tonight in Fraser Hall. It will be the annual concert of the Department of Music, School of Fine Arts.
One of the new and interesting features of Commencement this year will be an umbrella parade. The alumni have planned to carry red and blue umbrellas.
The band has been chosen to furnish the music. Several special features have been added to the class day exercises of the class of '08. The ceremonies which follow the alumni address, Tuesday morning, will include a revival of the pipe of peace and an interesting flag raising. These will take place on the campus in front of Fraser Hall.
The members of University athletic teams in former years have planned to hold a reunion. It will be held after the dedication of Robinson Gymnasium, Monday, June 8. The indications are that almost all of the old K. U. men will be back. Numerous committees have been appointed and elaborate plans have been made to care for the crowds next week. By far the greatest audience that ever gathered for such an occasion in the history of the University is expected to be present this year at Commencement.
KANSAS WINS TENNIS SERIES
Nebraskans Could Not Equal the Fast Playing of the Jayhawkers.
The Jayhawker tennis champions, Eton, Pierson, Weaverling, and Watson scored a complete victory over the Nebraskans at Lincoln Saturday. The score was 6 to 0. Six matches were played, four in singles and two in doubles. The Cornhuskers failed to get a single set and at no time in the series did they become dangerous to the Kansas players.
Young, Slaughter, Flower and Richey represented Nebraska. Score of tournament.
Eaton won from Young, 6-1, 6-0,
6-0.
Pierson won from Slaughter, 6-1,

CORRECT EVILS
INTER-SORORITY PANHELLEN- IC MAKES REGULATIONS.
No Programs In Advance.—Parties on Fridays, Saturdays and Holidays.
At a meeting of the intersorority Panhellenic committee Thursday afternoon the social problem of the University was discussed at length from dance programs to chaperones. Stringent measures were adopted to regulate the functions of next year and to confine them to more reasonable limits. The following rules were adopted with the intention of checking the eyils apparent in this year's society season.
No sorority girl shall make out her program before going to a dance. No sorority girl shall attend a dance given by a person or persons connected with the University on school nights, except on holidays or the night before a holiday. This rule shall be in effect after the first ten days of school. No sorority girl shall go to a fraternity house unless a chaperon be present.
The social conditions have this year been drifting from sanity to insanity. Three parties have been given on consecutive evenings of one week. The duties of school nights have been given up to other things and the whole social system has become so loose that the panhellenic committee took definite steps to bring affairs back to normal.
The ruling excepting "annuals" from the Friday and Saturday evening dates has been killed. Since the decision of the committee this spring will give entertainers ample time to choose legitimate evenings for annual parties.
This ruling will necessarily do away with the custom of faculty members of giving receptions for students on study nights.

FEE RAISED TO THREE DOLLARS
NEXT YEAR'S SEASON TICKETS COST A DOLLAR MORE.
Raise Was Occasioned by Added Expenses That Are Expected in Athletics.
At the last meeting of the representatives of the Associated student Enterprises, it was decided to increase the Voluntary Student Enterprise Fee from $2.00 to $3.00 a year. The increase was occasioned by several reasons. There are seven football games, ten base ball games, ten basket ball games and three track meets scheduled to be held in Lawrence next year, aside from the usual number of concerts and debates. The Washburn game will be played in Lawrence, thus cutting down the receipts of that game at least several hundred dollars. Manager Lansdon plans to make improvements on McCook field aggregating one thousand dollars. A goodly source of large receipts was cut off when Kansas severed her relations with St. Louis University.
The various student organizations have been very successful this year under the two dollar assessment, but for the reasons stated above it was thought necessary to increase Students Voluntary Fee.
