TURN THE LIGHT ON
CLASS BUSINESS
The Junior class this year has set a valuable precedent that other classes and organizations would do well to follow. Never before this year has the entire business of a class been made public and the good work now started should be kept up. Publicity can do away with several disagreeable features connected with class management and while, of course, with publicity none of the officers would be able to pay his way through school by appropriating to himself a share of the funds in the class coffer, other arguments outweigh that one objection. The members of a class like to know just what was done with their cash and it is only fair that they should know.
The Student Council did well to recommend that a mass meeting of students be called to lower the residence requirement of officers from five to one semester. When the new election is called next fall all the schools will doubtless elect representatives and the council will begin to be a force.
Elizabeth Wagstaff.
Elizabeth Wagstaff, a former University student, died in a sanitarium at Independence, Kansas, Tuesday. Her death was caused by Brights disease.
Commencement Invitations.
Commencement invitations are expected Monday, (May 24), or Tuesday, (May 25). Notice will be posted at the check stand where the invitations will be on sale as soon as they are received.
The Alpha Taus have pledged Wayne Long of Mound City, Kansas.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, of the State Board of Health, is at the University for consultation in matters concerned with the tuberculosis campaign.
Joe Eson of Kingman is visiting his sister, Gertrude Eson.
TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Will Be Over Saturday-An Interclass Meet Later.
Next Saturday will be the end of the tennis tournament that has been going on for the past two weeks. At the present time H. L. Richardson, Burnett, and Motz are in the lead, none of them having lost a game. Doubtless these three will get places on the regular squad.
Morton, who is an experienced player, was badly out of form at the beginning of the tournament but is rapidly getting into shape. Hetrick also is putting up a good game. In all thirteen men have entered but several have defaulted.
It is the intention of the management to choose the five finishing first in this contest to pair off with the Varsity players and next week to hold an inter-class tournament.
Miss Cone's Recital.
Miss Margaret Cone gave a graduating recital in Fraser Hall May 18. Among the most pleasing numbers was the Prelude in G. Minor by Rachmani-moff which was well rendered. Miss Cone was assisted by Miss Dunn, violinist of Ottawa and Miss Cook, accompanist, of Lawrence.
All Seniors and Graduate students who expect to wear Caps and Gowns commencement week must leave their measurements at the check stand before Friday night.
