Petunias, Geraniums, Dahlias To Brighten KU Pathways
By JOHN BATTIN (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
The sun has warmed the earth enough so that flowers planted to brighten your pathway to finals.
Gene Blitch, landscape foreman at the University, said Wednesday that Alternanthera, a jumbo-sized foliage plant; has been planted in the triangle in front of Green Hall.
Geraniums have been planted in the circle in front of Watkins Hospital and dwarf dahlias mixed with perennials have been planted south of Miller Hall.
In the raised eliptoid in front of the south entrance to the Student Union, red petunia plantings form a border, and white petunia has been planted in the center.
Petunias Planted
West of Fraser and between Wat-
Library, petunias have been
and inside a triangle. In front of
strong, petunias have been
planted at the edge of the flower bed.
A small bed of petunias and dahlias has been planted at the Nurses Home behind Watkins Hospital. Space has been reserved in flower beds for the planting of geraniums after commencement.
Mr. Blitch said a new flower plot near the Home Management House probably will include phlox, geranium, dahila, petunia, and vinca rosea, a foliage plant of medium height.
KU Red Geraniums
Mr. Blitch said a few geraniums, the KU Red, has been planted in the circle in front of Watkins Hospital. More KU Reds will be planted around the conservatory to perpetuate them.
"The KU Red isn't planted much," Mr. Blitch said, "although nine hundred plants were sent to Bell Memorial Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, last week."
"Annual plants require tremendous maintenance," he said. "We plant a lot of perennials that grow of their own accord from kits and stocks."
Other work being done is the extension of en eight-inch diameter drain pipe from Fraser north to Jayhawk Boulevard. The old drain was stopped up and water back-filled into Fraser. The new drain will empty into a "box." a reservoir

Senior Final Exam Useless Dr. Twente Tells Radio Panel
"If seniors haven't learned to get something out of their courses by the time they reach their last semester, they certainly won't be helped by a final examination at that time," Dr. J. W. Twente, professor of education, said Wednesday night on KDGU's "Mike No. 1."
The topic of the program was "Should seniors be excused from final examinations?" John Stephens, Stafford, Louis Stroup, Topeka juniors, and Kay Wasson, Olivet senior were on the panel.
Asked if excusing seniors from final examinations would work at the University, Dr. Twente replied that he didn't know, but added, "We're just human—why not?" Stephens asked if a general knowledge test including everything from zoology to architecture given at the end of the senior year would be the answer to the problem. Dr. Twente said that it would tend to turn students from specialization to a broader education.
Arnold Air Society Elects
Buckwheat grows in a wider variety of soil types than any other grain crop.
John Eriksen, Hutchinson junior,
has been elected commander of the
Arnold Air Society. Other officers are
Phil Reil Henry, Hillsboro, executive
officer; Robert Boyd, Overland
Park, adjunct; Paul Peters, Lorraine,
operations officer; Gary Rohrer,
Wichita, information service
officer, and Harold Hill, Beloit,
comptrroller. All are Juniors.
A plan to eliminate finals for seniors who are passing (that is, making an A, B, or C) in a course was suggested by the panel and Dr. Twente. All students making below a C would be required to take finals. Dr. Twente said that a plan of this type would provide incentive for seniors and would cut out much "hullabaloo" during the senior year.
