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

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

May Day Games.
Preparations are now in full swing for the May Day games. The old English dances under the direction of Miss Fish, Miss Sage and Miss Flintom are being rehearsed daily and promise to be one of the most attractive features of the day. The ladies of the faculty are much interested in the entertainment and are giving their services freely in costuming and other details. Enthusiasm grows constantly; everyone is anticipating the greatest pleasure from this most unique event in the calendar of the school year.
