JAYHAWKER OUT ON THURSDAY NIGHT.
Book this Year Has Over Three Hundred Pages—Many New Features.
The Jayhawker, the annual publication of the Senior class, is now off the press and is ready for distribution. The first copies given to the public will be sold or exchanged for annual tickets at the presentations of the senior play on Thursday and Friday. Extra copies, if

any remain, will be sold at the check stand after Saturday.
The Jayhawker this year comes in two styles. The more elaborate and costly is bound in ooze leather with a solid back, the other style is bound in a superior quality of buckram. The book itself has over three hundred pages. All of the cuts this year are new and the matter throughout is carefully arranged to the smallest detail. The jokes and feature

write-ups are new and breezy and several new stunts have been worked out. All the University organizations are pictured in the annual and the cuts are the finest obtainable in Kansas City.
The Annual board decided to dedicate the Jayhawker this year to Dean Frank O. Marvin of the Engineering school. This was done because the engineering school is at a critical and advancing period of its growth and is just beginning to forecast the future it is bound to have.
August Krehbiel is editor of the Annual and Bert Evans is manager.
NEW GOVERNMENT TOCHOOSE
OFFICERS
GIRLS TO ELECT LEAVE FOR TRIP TODAY
Executive Council Only to be Chosen—Interest in Election of Junior Vice President.
The election of officers for the Woman's Student Government Association of the University of Kansas will be held tomorrow in the Y. W. C.A. rest room. Election will be by the Australian ballot system. The polls will be open from 8 a.m.to 5 p.m.
Only the officers of the Executive Council will be elected tomorrow. The other eight members of the council are to be chosen by the four classes from their own members next week. The senior girls who are running for the presidency are Maybeth Parker, Lucy Wright and Gertrude Copley.
The Juniors, who elect three vice-presidents, will have a chance to vote on these candidates: Keene Fones, Edna Hopkins, Pearl Stuckey, Kate Hart and Lydia Marshall. From the sophomore class are to be chosen the treasurer and secretary. Helen Phillips and Eva Detwiler are running for the first office an Ola Jackson and Mabel Evans for the second office.
Most interest is being taken in the election of the three vicepresidents from the junior class because the successful candidate having the highest number of votes will be the president of the association next year.
Y. M. C. A. Banquet.
The 'Varsity banquet for the championship basket ball team, the track team that beat Missouri, the winning tennis team, and the baseball artists who are going to win the championship; the debaters who won two of three debates, and the best college band in the state, will be held next Wednesday, May 26, in Robinson Gymnasium. Tickets will be sold this week.

CARL PLEASANT, President.
PLAY MISSOURI AND WASHINGTON THIS WEEK.
Championship Games Tomorrow and Saturday-Hagerman Is Pleased with Team.
Coach Ebright will leave this afternoon with the University baseball team for a series of four games, two each against Missouri and Washington. The game tomorrow against Missouri and the one Saturday against Washington will be the championship games and will both be pitched by Harlan. The other game against Missouri will probably be pitched by Heizer and the first one against Washington by Burdick.
The line-up will be practically the same as in the last game at St. Marys with the exception of left field, which will be played by Heizer when he is not doing slab work. Farrell will make the trip and may be given an opportunity to show his ability as a twirler.
The team will return Sunday and will play K. S. A. C. here Monday afternoon.
"I can leave the Missouri Valley perfectly contented by feeling that I have been more than repaid for the efforts I have expended in turning out a winning track team at Kansas," said coach Hagerman in reply to a Kansan query concerning the Jayhawkers success in Saturday's meet with Missouri university. "We should have won four of the six meets that we have had with Missouri since I have been here; hard luck alone has beat us.
"Do I think Missouri could have whipped us with Douglas, Herzog, and Miller in the meet? No sir they could not have done it. Winters, the discus hurler was off color, and Perril, the quarter-miler was sick and these two men could have evened up for the Tigers loss had our team been in the pink of condition.
"The trouble with Monilaw's team was that the men were taught to believe that Kansas has no athletes. One big factor in our gaining such a pronounced victory was the attitude of the students in the bleachers. They demanded a victory and helped materially by their cheering in getting it." The team is working hard this week preparing for the interstate meet with Nebraska at Lincoln next Saturday. All the men are in good condition and are expecting to give the Cornhuskers all they have.
