of  utilizing  this  new  property  for  a  Junior

BAKER,  '93,  ELECTED 

EAST  LANSING  MAYOR 

professor 

In  one  of  the  closest  elections  in  years, 
Luther  H.  Baker,  '93,  was  elected  mayor 
of  East  Lansing  on  April  6.  His  op 
ponent,  H.  B.  Dirks, 
of 
mechanical  engineering,  polled  but  eleven 
less  votes  than  the  victor.  B.  A.  Faunce 
was  re-elected  city  clerk  without  opposi 
tion.  Mrs.  Gertrude  Babcock  was  re-elect 
ed 
treasurer,  and  Jacob  Schepers  was 
again  made  city  assessor.  G.  C.  Dillman, 
'13,  and  Fred  Dodge,  '06,  vanquished  their 
competitors  in  the  race  for  city  council. 
One  of  the  losers  was  Carl  Barnum,  '12. 
Baker  is  not  new  to  East  Lansing  muni 
cipal  affairs.  He  has  been  a  resident  of  the 
city  for  twenty  years,  served  six  years  on 
the  board  of  education  and  four  years  as 
an  alderman. 

BURNETT,  '87,  HONORED 
FOR  NOTABLE  SERVICE 

Students  and  faculty  of  the  college  of 
agriculture,  University  of  Nebraska,  hon 
ored  Dean  E-  A.  Burnett, 
'87,  for  his 
twenty-five  years  of  service  to  the  insti 
tution  at  a  banquet  on  the  evening  of  April 
2,  according  to  a  report  from  Lincoln  print 
ed  in  the  Chicago  Daily  Drovers  Journal, 
of 
that  date.  The  story  describes  Bur 
nett's  service  to  the  institution  in  the  fol 
lowing : 

The  dean  has  given  Nebraska  over  a 
quarter  of  a  century  of  service,  most  of 
the  time  as  dean  of  the  agricultural  college. 
He  has  directed  the  remarkable  growth  of 
institutions 
one  of  Nebraska's  greatest 
during  his  time.  Ex-Gov.  McKelvie  will 
act  as  toastmaster. 

Dean  Burnett  received  his  degree  from 
and 
the  Michigan  Agricultural  College 
came  to  Nebraska  in  1899  as  an  instructor 
in  animal  husbandry.  He  became  director 
of  the  experiment  station  in  1903  and  dean 
of  the  agricultural  college  in  1909  when 
the  industrial  college  was  divided  and  the 

engineering  college  was  moved  to  the  city 
campus.  Nebraska  has  had  but  one  dean 
of  her  agricultural  college  since  it  began 
as  a  separate  college. 

in 
In  1899  the  institution  was  housed 
two  buildings  and  a  number  of  stock  barns. 
Now  there  are  ten  buildings  housing  class 
rooms  and  experiment  laboratories. 

BASEBALL  MEN  READY 

FOR  FIRST  CONTEST 

Baseball  practice  began  anew  April  1 
after  a  short  vacation.  Coach  Kobs  had 
good  weather  to  aid  him  in  his  efforts  to 
round  the  squad  into  form  for  the  season 
and  kept  the  men  busy  on  the  fundamen 
tals  of  the  game,  giving  them  experience  in 
team  work  as  well.  He  is  faced  with  the 
task  of  bringing  out  a  suitable  staff  of 
pitchers.  From  the  team  of  1924  he  has 
only  Wakefield  who  has  had  experience  on 
the  mound-  Carl  Baynes,  an  infielder  last 
year,  also  shows  some  promise  as  a  pitch 
er,  and  if  he  recovers  from  an  injury  re 
ceived  in  sliding  practice,  may  be  given  an 
opportunity  to  display  his  ability.  George 
Kuhn,  brother  of  B.  R.  Kuhn,  '24,  is  an 
other  possibility,  but  these  two  seem  to  be 
the  limit  of  pitching  talent  available. 

In  other  departmens  of 

the  game  the 
team  is  more  fortunate.  Fremont  is  a  de 
pendable  catcher  who  has  shown  marked 
talent.  He  has  Kiebler  and  Corsaut  as  un 
derstudies,  although  Kiebler  will  probably 
be  used  in  the  infield.  Mclnnis  and  Spiek-
erman  are  candidates  for  first  base,  Hale 
and  Ranney  are  prominent  contenders  for 
second  base,  Kiebler  and  Baynes  have 
been  used  at  third  and  Gauss  and  Rowley 
the  work  at  short, 
have  done  most  of 
where  Sepanik  was  a 
three 
years.  Captain  Richards  will  undoubtedly 
continue  in  center  field,  Fisher  is  also  a 
candidate  for  that  position,  and  the  rest 
of  the  outfield  squad  is  composed  of  Fles-
er,  Tolles,  Thayer  and  Truman.  Beckley 
may  be  available  for  outfield  or  infield  duty 
and  Hayhow  is  recognized  as  an 
infield 
possibility.

Considerable  attention  is  being  given  the 
hitting  development  of  the  team.  A  lack 
of  sufficient  pitchers  will  make  it  neces 
sary  that  this  department  be  stressed  if  a 
successful  season  is  anticipated.  Card,  a 
sophomore  who  has  been  ineligible,  is  also 
a  possible  addition  to  the  list  of  pitchers. 
The  first  games  of  the  year  are  sched 
uled  for  this  week  when  the  squad  goes 
to  Armour  Institute,  St.  Viators  college 
and  Wisconsin  on  Thursday,  Friday  and 
Saturday,  respectively. 
It  is  probable  that 
the  first  home  appearance  of  the  team  will 
be  on  April  25  when  Western  State  Nor-
