PLANS UNDER WAY FOR THE MAY FETE
WORK ON PLAYS WILL BE BEGIN AT ONCE.
Mrs. Wilber, Miss Fish, and Miss Morrow Will Assist With the Entertainment.
At a meeting held Wednesday night at the home of Beulah Murphy, work was begun in earnest on plans for the May fete, which will probably be held May 13. Miss Nadia Thomas, who has charge of the fete arrangements, read a program which she suggested might be carried out. The program included a pageant morris dances, old English plays, the crowning of the May Queen and the dance of the May Queen and her attendants. Other dances and drills may be added later.
A meeting of the girls will be called in the near future so that a May Queen may be elected. It is also desired by those in charge of the fete that some man offer his services as a jester.
It is planned to give the fet Saturday, May 13. The entertainment will last the entire afternoon, and booths will be furnished by each of the four sororities so that the crowd may be provided with refreshments. Three plays will be given in the course of the afternoon. The old Wives tale by the Phi Psis, Pyramus and Thise by the Betas and a St, George Play by the Pi Upsilons.
Mrs. F. A. Wilber has offered her services to the committee in securing old English songs and dance music for the various stunts, Miss Mary Fish will assist with the dances, and Miss Helen Morrow will direct the rehearsal of the plays. Any one who wishes to take part in the fete should inform Miss Thomas. A tag day will be held soon to raise money for costuming and other expenses connected with the fete.

THE JEWISH CITIZEN
Jacob Billikopt Declares He is Desirable.
"It is not the condition in which the immigrant comes that determines his usefulness, but the power he shows to rise above his condition," said Jacob Billikopt, of the Jewish Educational Institute, of Kansas City, Mo., in an address at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Thursday evening on the subject, "Is the Russian Jew a Desirable Immigrant?" In the course of his talk he discussed the great advantages made by these people when given a fair chance in this country. Because of their great ability to adapt themselves to various situations the Russian Jews are, Mr. Billikopt maintains, a menace to American workingmen for only a short time, because in a few years these immigrants also are organized into trade unions. "Furthermore, by dint of energy and perseverence they made possible ble the creation of new industries," said Mr. Billikopt, "and industrially speaking, the Jew is far from undesirable."
The speaker then quoted data in regard to the Jews both in Russia and New York to disprove the idea that Jews possess a dislike and inaptitude for manual labor. They are by no means lagging in intellectual pursuits but have an intense desire to study and discuss local questions. Illustrating this by conditions in Kansas City, Mr. Billikopt said, "In our Institute you will find every night from a hundred to a hundred and twenty-five men and women from all parts of the city eagerly devouring whatever information is imparted to them. Their progress is remarkable and their enthuiasm for America knows no bounds."
To prove that his people appreciate what is done for them and that they value the differences between Russia and this country Mr. Billikopt quoted the sentiments of boys who had been in the United States but a short time. The education of the children also hastens the breaking up of the natural tendency to clanishness among their parents.
The excellent work accomplish by the Kansas City Jewish Institute, in providing cheap bathing facilities for the poor, has had great influence in causing the city to appropriate money for a free public bath. Mr. Billikopt closed his address with a quotation from Jacob Reis in regard to the valuable material for citizenship presented by the Russian Jew.
Girls Learn Photography.
The problem incident to the congestion of the Jews in the East Side of New York is fully recognized by Mr. Billikopt and it is for this reason that he encourages their immigration through the port of Galveston and then supplements that work by doing much in Kansas City to secure employment for these men. He emphasized the fact that the Galveston Bureau was not encouraging immigration indiscriminately, but was securing a good class of people.
Congregational Party.
The K. U. Plymouth Guild will give a party this evening at 8 o'clock in the Congregational church. The organization is for the purpose of promoting acquaintanceship among the Congregational students. This is the first party, but from now on monthly meetings will be held. All University Congregational students are invited to attend.
The girl behind the camera is a frequent sight in the vicinity of Columbia University. The introduction of a department of photography in the school of industrial arts has brought out many women as well as men desirous of taking up this profession which nowadays holds out strong inducements to the once handicapped sex. There is laboratory work, and instruction in portraiture, illustration, and lantern slide making. Saturday afternoon sees the class out for field work on the campus, along the street, and the river.—Collier's Weekly.

Is there a person in the University of Kansas who thinks that this institution is not democratic? If so he would have quickly seen the folly of his idea, had he viewed the grass plot in front of Spooner library Tuesday afternoon. There were eight fat hogs (not library hogs) of Poland China stock, gazing vacantly at the surrounding valleys and giving cultured grunts of satisfaction at the splendid view, as they tore up the turf in the triangle. Whether they came up to join the rooters' club on its trip to the track meet Friday, or whether they read of the intellectual sparrows that are making their home under the eaves of Fraser, and decided to take on a little higher education themselves, is hard to tell. When Gurth and Wamba, who were driving the herd, tried to urge them down the stony slope towards Adams street, the swine refused to travel in the road, but walked serenely down the walk. It is well for the Poland Chinas that they left, for several of the colored janitors had their eyes on them and were figuring on giving the University—not a theoretical but a real "pork barrel."
Chemical Club Speakers.
Three students, Harold Shaw, Robert Hackman, and Charles Spilman, spoke before the Chemical club Wednesday afternoon in the Chemistry building.
Mr. Shaw spoke on "The Artificial Silk Industry." The industry, according to the speaker, is carried on principally in France and has been developed during the past three years.
Mr. Spilman told of "The Economy of Condensed Milk." The chief economy, according to the speaker, lies in the fact that milk is more plentiful in summer time and can thus be saved for the winter.
Mr. Hackman spoke on "The Analysis of Fertilizers." He told of the methods employed in a factory at Kansas City where he worked before re-entering the University this semester.

Preaching service at 11 a.m.; topic; "Seoffers, Bluffers and the Zealous;" Sunday school at 12 o'clock; stereopticon pictures and address by Dr. Newport at opening services; at 6 p.m. a tea will be served in the church by the young people, to be followed by an address by Prof. Carl Becker of the University, "The Significance of Catholicism and Protestantism in European History." All invited to these meetings. F.M. Bennett, minister. Alma R. Manley and Frank E. Wells student pastors.
