THE BEST CITY SERVES CITIZENS
CHARTERS ARE A SECONDARY CONSIDERATION
Morality not Tested by Number of Churches—Transportation Important Problem.
Yesterday afternoon the subject of Prof. Zueblin's address in chapel was "The Making of the City." He discussed questions of city charters and city morality. A condensed report of his address follows :
"We talk about charters, but they are secondary to the real work to be done. The actual making or building of the city so that it will best serve the inhabitants is the fundamental problem.
"The standard of morality is not tested by the number of churches. We go to church, presumably to be made good, and while there are on our good behavior. It is not tested in our home, where we are, perhaps, more than ordinarily kindly. It is not tested in the schools. It is tested in the streets. If there are immoral women on the streets, if there are immoral conditions on the streets, if streets are foul and unclean, so are the people. We may have spiritual aspirations above the conditions manifested upon our highways and maintain that our hearts are pure. That the hearts can not be pure if the streets are dirty, any more than the lungs can be pure. Our streets present the pressing problem of the United States. Upon the streets is indebly impressed our character as citizens."
The most dominant factor in city construction is transportation. It is the provision for it that determines the location of cities, and it is more important than any other business because changes in transportation facilities can change the business of a city. It is a crime to permit interurban trolley cars to enter our city streets. They should be compelled to come in either overhead or underground. In ten years we will be having the same problems that we are having now with the railroads about grade crossings Before long these electric companies will be absorbed by the steam roads and we will have only a unit to deal with and we will be relieving that unit of its own problem by compelling coordination.
"City streets should be encumbered by no poles except those to support the lights. Conduits for wires should be built by the city, preferably beneath the curb when galleries in the subways are not used, and leased to the companies. Many of us have read with admiration of the underground sewer system of Paris. What an advance it would be if in American cities such a system were installed, including one ample conduit for pipes, light, telephone, telegraph, and the alarm wires. Lighting poles should be models of beauty, like some in Los Angeles, which has the three best lighted streets in the world, with bronze standards supporting clusters of incandescent lamps.

REGULATIONS FOR PROM
Last Instructions Given Before April 28.
Final arrangements for the Prom have been completed and the eighth annual Prom will commence.
Today the decoration committee is busily engaged in decorating the gymnasium and this evening a dress rehearsal of the Farce will be held.
There are a few students who have not obtained their tickets as yet and also a few who have not paid their fees. For the benefit of those who have not obtained their tickets, but would like to go the managers of the Prom will be at the check stand during the chapel hour Friday. This is the last chance to obtain a ticket.
There will be ample street car service to handle the crowd both coming and going consequently cabs are decidedly out of order.
Guests will enter the gym masium through the girls entrance at the northeast corner. The women's check room will be on the second floor and in the northeast corner as last year. The men's check room will be on the first floor on the left of the girls' entrance.
The guests will then proceed to the second floor through the main entrance on the north. The receiving line will be at the main entrance on the second floor and the guests are expected to go down the line immediately after the last act of the Faree.
After checking their wraps the guests will enter the main hall down stairs where the farce will be held and be seated until it is finished.
Immediately after this Harry Kelly's orchestra will start the grand march which will be led by President MaeKinnon and Miss Glendale Griffith the secretary of the class.
There will be 24 dances and the musicians' intermission will come after the eleventh dance.
The Farce will commence promptly at 6.15 and those not seated by this time will be compelled to wait until after the first act before they will be seated.

OLD ENGLISH MAY DAY
May Fete Workers Expect Out of Town Visitors.
The May Fete this year will be a reproduction of an old English May Day, and the committee in charge is working hard to make the dances and masques true in every detail to the old festival days of the time of Queen Elizabeth. The St. George play, Robin Hood, and Pyramia and Thisbe will all be given with music and costumes characteristic of the olden times. The Fete which comes on May 12 this year is the third of such affairs given at the University. It is the University Gala day. The first was given in 1908 and another in 1909.
In speaking of the May Fete one of the committee on arrangements said :
Imported human hair nets, 10c each, Kress.
"The May Day Fete has no mercenary object connected with it whatever; but is a step towards filling a need in the University for artistic out of doors productions. It is the University's place to cultivate a high taste in "up making, and we feel that the merry pageant of kings, fools, ladies with maids, and shepherdesses will go far towards putting University festivities on a high plane. We think it a good substitute for the maypole scraps of former days. This will be an excellent time for outsiders to see what the students at the University of Kansas can do, and we expect a large crowd of visitors from Kansas City, Topeka, and surrounding towns."

PROPERTIES OF ASPHALTUM TO BE INVESTIGATED
The Aurora
Armstrong & Co. of Chicago Provide $750 for One Year With $2,000 Bonus.
The argument for an Industrial Fellowship has been made by the University and confirmed by the Board of Regents at their meeting yesterday afternoon, providing for research work to be conducted at the University into the properties of asphaltum. The appointment to this fellowship has not yet been made and it is thought that it will be sometime before the Chancellor will be able to announce the name of the person receiving the assignment.
The Fellowship was established by Armstrong and company of Chicago. The income will be $750 with a bonus of $2,000 in case the discoveries made, warrant the allowance of that fund. The fellowship is to run for only one year.
BETAS AND PHI GAMES WIN
Pan-Hellenic Series Everyday This Week.
Ed. White has returned from Kansas City, where he has been confined with an attack of appendicitis.
The exclusive purpose of the Fellowship is an investigation into the possibility of bleaching asphaltum, particularly Gilsonite, and into two new uses for this Gilsonite under its new and modified form, as it may be developed during the research in soap, rubber, paper, paint, varnish, and kindred lines.
Yesterday afternoon on McCook field the Phi Gams defeated the Sig Alphs by the score of 14 to 3. The Phi Gams have a strong team this year. Steeman and Truby each got a home run. Judy, at first base played the best game for the Sig Alphs.
The game between the Phi Delta and the Betas Tuesday resulted in a victory for the latter by the score of 13 to 6. The Phi Delta protested the game because they claimed that Uhrlaub, the pitcher for the Betas, was not eligible. The Pan-hellenic council will deiete the controversy.
