To answer the questions of the se-
niors who have been wondering why
they have been unable to secure more
than one ticket for their friends for
Commencement Day exercises, Reg.-
istrar A. G. Hall gave out the follow-
ing statement yesterday:
"We are saving for the seniors and
their friends 4,000 of the 4,600 seats

hundred of these will be used by the
senior classes themselves, while the
one ticket which has been given to
@gch graduate already makes the to-
JAI number 2,400. Four hundred tick-
ets are being reserved for the alumni,
while 200 more have been set aside for
the local people. This leaves 1,600
tickets which we plan to give to the
seniors as fast as we can pass upon
the lists which they have given us.

Storms do Great
Damage in West
110 Lives Lost and Heavy Property
Damage Reported; Arkansas
Hit Hardest
St. Louis, June 7.-With communi-
cation still cut off in many sections it
has been estimated that 110 persons
lost their lives in storms which swept
over five states Monday night and
yesterday. Scores of persons were in-
jured and property damage was heavy.
The toll of storm was heaviest in Ar-
kansas where several towns were al-
most completely wiped out. Missouri
was second in the lead, 30 deaths be-
ing reported from the district visited
by the storm. Scarcely a town in
Arkansas escaped damage in the
twister.
GARGOYLE OUT FRIOAY NOON
Commencement Number to Contain
Many Novel Features
_
The Commencement number of the
Gargoyle will be out Friday noon.
The cover is a checker board design
in three colors by Lamar M. Kish-
lar, '17E. A new feature is a hall of
fame, consisting of six members, two
senior laws, two senior lits, one sen-
ior lit woman, and one member of the
faculty. These six have been chosen
because they stand as true leaders on
the campus. Pictures of these personsl
will be printed, and reasons will be
given for their election to the hall of
fame.
"The Senior's Farewell" is a double-
page cartoon by Harry Leach, '16,
who sketched "The Campus Under
Military Training" cartoon that made
the Military Training Gargoyle so
popular. In the "Senior's Farewell"
both fiction and reality are humor-
ously shown. The frontispiece, by
the same artist, is "A Story Without
Words.
GLENN M. COULTER ELECTED '161

(argoyle Staff Held Banquet Tuesday
The last Gargoyle staff dinner of

selves as sophomores.

 ivw Students on
Senate Committee.
Faculty Student Affairs Body Increas-
ed by Presidents of Student and
Woman's Judiciary Councils
In order to give to the members of
the senate committee on student af-
fairs the student point of view on all
questions affecting the campus which
this committee must meet, two stu-
dents, the president of the Student
Council and the president of the
Woman's Judiciary Council, have
been asked to join this senate com-
mittee. They will start their active
work next fall.
Professor Strauss, chairman of the
committee, believes that the move is
a good one and that it will aid the
committee in making decisions relative
to the students. It is the first attempt
ever made to place students upon this
body and came as a direct result of a
request from Henry C. Rummel, '16L,
now president of the Student Council,
who saw in it an opportunity for the
students to gain better representation
than they now have.
500 SEE THREE IRISH PLAYS
Oratorical Association Members Give
One Act Productions in U-Hall
Before an audience of about 500;
the three one-act Irish plays "Shad-
ows of the Glen," "Riders to the Sea,;"
and "Land of Heart's Desire" were
given last night in University Hall
by the members of the class in play
production under the auspices of the
Oratorical association.
N. Earl Pinney, '16, gave an inter-
esting preliminary talk on the three
plays and on the Irish theater of the
present day.
"Land of Heart's Desire," by W. B.
Yeats, was the first play given. "Ri-
ders to the Sea," a tragedy by John
M. Synge, was the second play. The
last play presented, "The Shadow of
the Glen," also by Synge, was of a

"A mericanism" Issue
Chicago, June 7.-Charles Evans
Hughes will be nominated for Presi-
dent by the Republican convention un-
less present indications are complete-
ly upset.
Leaders of the Republican party who
are familiar with every detail of the
situation and who are slow to make
predictions, asserted tonight for the
first time that Mr. Hughes will be
named by the Republican convention.
They added that nothing could pre-
vent his selection. Several of them
ins'isted he would be named 'by the
third ballot and possibly on the sec-
ond roll call.
The Progressive convention, on the
other hand, intends to go forward with
its plan of nominating Colonel Roose-
velt, probably by Friday at the latest.
Colonel Roosevelt's attitude toward
the nomination or toward Justice
Hughes as the Republican nominee is
still a matter of doubt. The entire
situation so far as the prospects of
the Republican party for victory are
concerned now revolve about Colonel
Roosevelt If he accepts the Progres-
sive nomination and refuses to support
a Republican nominee all hopes of
Republican success against President
Wilson will have disappeared.
So far as can be ascertained Colonel
Roosevelt has not taken any of the
Progressive or Republican leaders into
his confidence as to what his course
will be. Colonel Roosevelt is not yet
convinced that he cannot obtain the
nomination from the Republican con-
vention and he is prepared to play
his cards up to the very last. Mr.
Roosevelt and his followers are en-
gaged now in a final effort to force
