ANNUAL SMOKER BY PAN-HELLENIC
250 FRATERNITY MEN ENJOY STUNTS IN F. A. A.
Three Hours of Vaudeville Entertained the Crowd—Professors and Town Men Attend.
Two hundred and fifty fraternity men attended the third annual Pan-Hellenic smoker, which was held last night in Fraternal Aid hall. This entertainment is given by the Pan-Hellenic association of the University, whose membership is made up of the eight national fraternities.
The smoker was successful, and the various stunts produced by the amateurs were worthy of professionals.Beta Theta Pi appeared as a curtain opener with a magnificent pantomime, in which a soap-box boat braved the mountainous waves of a Scotch lake, and was finally upset and all its occupants drowned. Scarecely had the tears dried away, when "Rajah" Hendrickson took the stage as a representative of Alpha Tan, and produced rabbits and flowers from mere nothings. The Bible in Slang and set to music was Tom DeForest's offering. It was received with appreciation.
Then came the wonderful celloist in the Phi Gamma Delta "Im perial orchestra," followed by Sigma Chi, who presented their recent hold-up, but instead of a "real gun," swords were used and the robbers finished their sketch with some piano playing. George Bowles and his affinity, Stevens, did a realistic vampire dance, and Charles Younggreen, in a personally conducted tragedy, made up Phi Psi's contribution.
Probably the strongest man in the United States, if not in the world was produced by Phi Delt, for Ed Rhodes held Russell Clark above his head first with one hand and then on a piece of paper. Then he took the paper away, and such was the extent of his strength that Clark was left hanging in mid-air. Real life was pictured by Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who presented a "Sorority Pan-Hellenie" with life-like effect.
The last number on the program was Sigma Nu, who put on a full minstrel show. Certain delicate local hits were made and some harmonious singing was given by Ferguson, Alcorn, Alexander and the entire company. The curtain fell on the last act—and an empty house, for everybody went down stairs to feed.

VICTORY AND DEFEAT.
Posts in Center of Court Incon venience Players.
The College basket-ball team won its first game of the trip in the contest with Fairmount College at Wichita Monday night by the score of 29 to 23. The line-up of the Wichita team was changed considerably from that which they used when they played here, and the contest was even throughout. Beamer and Nesbitt starred for the department men and Haymaker and Plank did the best work for their opponents. Haymaker led the game in scoring, with six goals from the field, and Beamer of the local squad was second with four baskets to his credit.
The game with Friends University on Tuesday night resulted in the third defeat of the College team. The score was 33 to 19 The men attribute their defeat in this contest to the fact that four posts in the center of the court support the roof of the building, and since they were not used to playing around such supports, they were placed at a great disadvantage.
George S. Allen of Topeka, a former student of the University, now a practicing attorney in Topeka, visited the University Tuesday.
ALL-STAR TEAM.
Hamilton's Choice of All-Valley Basket-Ball Five.
Coach W. O. Hamilton has announced his choice of an all-star Missouri Valley basket-ball team. The five includes Dousman and Larson, guards; Heizer, center, and Long, left forward, from Kansas, and Gibson of Nebraska, right forward. The Kansas guards were chosen for their reliability and clean playing, Long for his exceptional free throwing, and Heizer because he held his opponent in every game of the season to less goals than he basketed. Gibson was given the position of right forward because of his great work in the four games played against Kansas.
Basket-Ball as Played by Professors Is Dangerous.
CARNAGE AMONG FACULTY.
The University of Kansas football and basket-ball teams went through their entire seasons this year without a single serious injury; but it was not so with the faculty teams which have been playing weekly since Christmas. No casualties had been reported until last week when a particularly spirited game that was played in the gymnasium claimed a num
Prof. C. H. Johnston, dean of the School of Education, received a very painful black eye from a back-hand blow by John Shea, a fellow in philosophy. It seems that Prof. B. F. Stelter of the English department, is an ardent admirer of Dean Johnston, for soon after the latter's misfortune he came in contact with Shea in such manner as to crack the latter's rib. At this stage of the game an undergraduate entered the conflict. It was not many minutes before the substitute stepped on Professor Stelter's nose and broke the cartilage. ber of victims.
Senior Class Doings.
Robert Johnston, chairman of the class day exercises, is planning on several novel stunts, and some of the traditions which Kansas has lacked in years past may be started on that day.

James Smith was delegated to arrange for the annual base ball game that takes place between the seniors and the alumni at commencement time. The office of class historian was given to John Harbeson and Louis LaCoss was appointed class prophet.
E. L. Overman, editor of the Jayhawker, stated this morning that Oreta Moore and Delpha Johnson had been made additional members of the annual board.

UNCLE SAM'S PURE FOODS
Professor Jackson Tells How They Are Kept So.
Prof. H. Louis Jackson of the department of chemistry spoke before the Chemical club yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock in the Chemistry building. His subject was "What Unele Sam Does to Keep Our Foods Pure." The government, according to the speaker, has over twenty laboratories throughout the country where food is tested to see whether it is adulterated, underweighed or wrongly labeled. The United States attorney does the prosecuting by one of two methods. One is to direct the case against the goods and if it is successful the goods are sold to pay the costs, destroyed or returned to the owners on bonds. The other method is to direct the case against the firm with penalty of either a fine or imprisonment. Professor Jackson then told of the results accomplished in the first five hundred cases prosecuted. In one instance there was a fine of only one cent imposed.
