Santee, who later was named the meet's outstanding performer, is shown here with the trophy after it was presented to him by Mr. Cunningham.
The latter float showed "the little engine that could" puffing over a hill pulling a coal-car labeled '54 and a little red caboose.
Second place winners in the men's and women's divisions were Alpha Chi Omega sorority with a giant book and pen expressing the theme, "As the Great Scorer writes your name, he writes not how you won or lost, but how you played the game," and Triangle fraternity with a giant red and silver revolving sporial showing the KU "squiral to victory."
Track, Exposition, Parade Included in Relays Weekend
Both of the winning floats carried out a locomotive theme with the Alpha Phi "express" driven by a giant Jayhawk and the Beta Theta Pi float drawing the applause of the audience with its "Easton-Wes" express.

Saturday's collegiate Belays attracted approximately 16,000 persons to the campus to see the efforts of 16 national champions. The nation's fastest miler, Wes Santee, put on a two-event show which won him the meet's most valuable performer award. He set a new meet record with 4:03.1 in the Glenn Cunningham mile race.
A YMCA Easter sunrise service on the Campile terrace brought between two and three hundred students out at an early hour yesterday morning. The KU Chorale provided music for the sunrise worship.
Saturday was also open-house time for prospective students with the Jayhawk Jubilee starting at 8 a.m. and lasting until noon.
The doors to the 34th annual Engineering Exposition were thrown open on Friday morning and a two day welcome sign gave visitors a chance to see some 18 special-project exhibits in all departments of engineering. The civil engineering department won the Sigma Tau trophy which the honorary engineering fraternity awards to the outstanding exhibit of the exposition.
The busy weekend started with the high school portion of the Re-lays on Friday morning. Wichita East High won class AA honors for the meet, beating a favored Shawnee-Mission squad. Haskell won the class A, and Lewis won the class B.
The Kansas Relays, the Engineering Exposition, the Relays parade, dedication of an Oregon Trail marker, the Jayhawk Jubilee, and an Easter sunrise service all combined to make last weekend one of the most eventful of the year.

Democrats charged Mr. Nixon encouraged the French to abandon the Indochina war and demanded that President Eisenhower tell Congress if the vice president spoke for the administration.
Monday, April 19, 1954
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Washington — (U.P.)— Democratic congressmen today stepped up their attack on Vice President Richard M. Nixon's statement that American troops might have to be sent to Indochina if the French pull out.
Nixon Statement Riles Democrats
The thundering controversy over the possible use of American troops in Indochina was certain to come up for discussion in Augusta, Ga., where Secretary of State John Foster Dulles reports to President Eisenhower today on his recent London and Paris talks.
Diplomats here guessed Mr. Nixon's off-the-record but later much-publicized speech Friday may have an unsettling effect on Secretary Dulles' effort to achieve a united allied front on the eve of the Geneva meeting with Russia and Red China.
Meanwhile, a Navy spokesman said a U.S. aircraft carrier is due in Indochina momentarily with a load of Corsair fighters for the French forces. And South Korea formally announced it will attend a meeting, meaning all 16 allies now are signed up and ready to go.
Democratic Sens. Paul H. Douglas (Ill), Estes Kefauver (Tenn), and Albert M. Gore (Tenn) all called Mr. Nixon's remarks "unfortunate."
Campus Elections To Be Tomorrow
A. Every student may vote.
B. To vote, one must have his ID card.
C. Every voter will receive three ASC ballots:
1. One corresponding to the voter's "school district."
2. One corresponding to the voter's "living district."
3. One presidential ballot
D. Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors will receive also:
4. One class officers' ballot.
E. Every voter will also receive a ballot to pick the University's entrant for the National College Queen of America contest. (Pictures of the candidates are in the Information booth display case).

3. Strong hall rotunda.
4. Strong hall basement.
5. Fraser hall.

Because their smaller enrollments make it impractical to keep a supply of "school district" ballots at all polls, ballots for certain "school districts" will be obtainable only at particular places. Business students, to vote for candidates from the business school, can find the needed ballots only at both the polling places in Strong hall and in the Union. Fine arts polling places; Marvin hall. Strong hall rotunda and basement, and the Union. Education polling places:: Strong hall, Fraser hall, the Union. Engineering polling places: Lindley hall, Marvin hall, the Union. Law polling places: Green hall, the Union. Pharmacy polling places: Strong hall rotunda and basement, the Union. Medicine polling places: Strong hall rotunda and basement, the Union.
