WANT STUDENTS TO GO TO ESTES PARK
Y. M. SECRETARY SHOWS AD VANTAGES TO BE GAINED
Trip Cheaper This Year Than Ever Before—Registrar Foster Tells Why he's Interested
The meeting of the Y. M. C. A.
Thursday evening was held around a camp fire in Marvin Grove. Charles Whitechair state secretary of the associations told about the summer camp at Estes Park, Colorado to which the men were urged to go.
"Estes Park," said Mr. Whitehair, "is where the annual conference of the Young Men's Christian associations of Kansas and Colorado is held for ten days each year. This year it will be from June 9 to June 18. The park is seventy miles north from Denver by rail and then by automobile thirty miles to the camp. The object of the conference is to give the fellows an opportunity to become acquainted with the noted men who are spending their lives in association work and thus strengthen them for their life work.
"The round trip from Denver to the camp will cost five dollars which is four dollars less than the best rate previously made. The railroad companies are making no reduction but the business men of the two states are the ones who will pay the difference. The trip from here will cost forty dollars including carfare.
"Many men have gone who have had to borrow at least half of the sum. Not one of them have regretted it, but on the other hand are only too glad to have been asked. The main object of the conference is for the men to get a better view of life and to make them feel it to be their duty to help others."
There are already several students who are planning to go and also one of the members of the faculty, Registrar George O. Foster. He gave the three reasons why he is going to the camp. The main reason is for soul growth so that when he comes back he will the better able to help the students who come to him for information along other lines than concerning their studies. The other reasons are so that he can understand the work better and also see the country since he will stay two weeks after the conference.
Harry Heinzman, '06, the state high school secretary, told of the speakers he has seen at different times in Egtes Park, and also Lake Geneva where the associations of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin meet.
HOW TO MAKE YEAST
Starch Serves as Preservative but is Expensive.
"The Compressed Yeast Controversy," was the subject on which Miss Anderson, a fellow in Chemistry, spoke at the meeting of the Chemical club Wednesday afternoon.
"The controversy," said Miss Anderson, "is concerning the use of starch in compressed yeast. It has been carried on by the eastern manufacturers for the past twelve years. As compressed yeast is moist it can only be kept for a short time, not more than eight days. If starch is added as a preservative the yeast can be kept longer. This is what some of the larger companies are doing, although it is a more expensive method. The companies who do not use the preservative claim it to be an adulteration. Consequently the Board of Food and Drug inspection took up the matter and after listening to the evidence on both sides decided that the practice was permissable if the addition of the starch was stated on the label.

SECOND PIANO RECITAL
Miss Ford's Performance Was Well Attended.
The graduating piano recital given in Fraser hall Thursday evening by Miss Creola Ford was well attended. A feature of Miss Ford's playing was a remarkably beautiful touch which drew from the piano varieties of tone color rarely achieved by so young a player. This was especially marked in her opening number a Giga with variations by Raff, and in an Etude in D flat Major by Liszt, which were perhaps her best numbers. In the closing number she was assisted by Prof. Preyer at a second piano.
Miss Ford is a charter member of Mu Phi Epsilon, the musical sorority. The assisting vocalist was Miss Gertrude Cooper, contralto, who was graduated from the voice department last year. Miss Josephine McCammon accompanied her songs. The program is as follows:
Giga con Variazioni...Raffi

Songs, Who is Sylvia? . Schubert

Phi Gam Spring Party.
Four hundred guests were present at the thirtieth spring party of the Pi Deuteron chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity given at the fraternity house, 745 Louisiana, last evening. Seventy nine Phi Gams from the various chapters of the twelfth section of the fraternity who are here attending the annual convention were present at the affair.
The yard around the house was transformed into a Venetian garden by numberless electric lights and flowers.
On arrival the guests walked through a colonnade of white columns, supporting'a canopy of wisteria, which extended from the porch to the curb. In the hall they were received by Mrs. Cahib, Watson Campbell, Ben Matkins, Geo. Richardson, and Arthur McLain. At the south of the house a large dancing pavilion had been built which was enclosed by white columns, twined with smilax and connected by white lattice work. At the top of each column was an electric lighted globe, and over the center of the dance floor hung a huge ball of royal purple, the fraternity color. In opposite corners of the pavilion and hidden by palms were Kelly's seven piece orchestra of Kansas City, and Hall's seven piece orchestra of Topeka. These two orchestras alternated throughout the evening, and a total of seventy two dances were given. No programs were used. A five course luncheon was served during the evening in the lower rooms of the chapter house which was decorated in purple and white and the pennants of the visiting chapters. Several cozy corners were built at different places on the lawn, and small purple electric lights were strung through the trees.

SOURCE OF REAL POWER

Rev. Frank L. Loveland Says it is The Soul.
Rev. Frank L. Loveland in his chapel talk Friday morning urged students to make themselves the best men in the nation. "This," he said, "can only be done by being progressive. The fundamental fact on which all progress is based is that the human soul is all powerful so it should be allowed to grow and thus give one the main source of real power. The recognition of this fact can only be had by having an image of God and relying upon the knowledge of the divinity.
"Although Kansas will never be noted for its secrecy it can produce great men and one of the best places for these coming men to receive their training is in the schools of the state. Some claim that schools produce only dreamers and seers. One should not sneer at the dreamers as they are the ones who make the world. Greece with her inspirational souls still stands out prominently and still influences the world. A certain railway president thinks a locomotive bell is more valuable than a school bell while others think that a chimney stack benefits the world more than a church spire. But it is the class of dreamers who make the most of the inventions.
"In this age of the greatness of the individual it is up to the church and to the schools to direct the young people along the right path. This is where one is made either a genius or a person of only mediocre ability. A great appeal should be made to the Redeemer of all souls and the forgotten original Divinity should be remembered instead of only the sin that is generally thought of by most of the people."

What a College Graduate Says.
The faults of our secret societies ought to be met squarely by every college woman who wears Greek letters, for only through them can reforms come. Only by them can the foolish and trivial externals which excite so much criticism be rubbed off, leaving the unselfish, sincere, good-heartedness of the thing.
This probably sounds like the rankest kind of heresy, and I know of girls who are so fierce in their devotion to their own sorority that they would rend limb from limb any sister of theirs who would dream of admitting, especially to an outsider, that her sorority had the faintest shadow of a shortecoming. I do not mean this in any disloyal way; I consider that the allegiance I pledged to an ideal is just as sacred and inviolable as it was the night I pledged it as a freshman, wide-eyed and wondering over the marvel of having the all but divine upper-class, girls offering their friendship and their fudge so freely. The ideal is still kept, but if I am able to see in the light of a little experience that it is rarely remembered in the actual workings, I hope I may be granted sufferance while I say so. It is because I do most earnestly long to see the day when women's clubs may rise above the externals which so often lay them open to fidicule that I voice these apparently heartless and unisisterly feelings. Certainly we are not blind to the faults of our nearest and dearest just because we love them. It is not a sign of devotion surely, to be stupid—From "Four Years a Greek" in the June Woman's Home Companion.
