STUDENT NEWSPAPER
The Relays pole vault record will be on shakey ground when four vaulters who have cleared over 14 feet meet in the Kansas Relays Saturday.
Two of the four have beaten the record of 14 feet, 2 inches, set by Beefus Bryan of Texas in 1939, already this year, but the marks were racked up in indoor competition.
The other two members of the 14-foot quartet are Warren Bateman, Colorado's N.C.A.A. co-tillist, and Bill Carroll, Oklahoma winner of the Central Collegiate conference meet last month with a 14-foot vault.
Harry Cooper, Minnesota, and Tom Bennett, Wisconsin, tied for top honors in the Big Ten Indoor meet last month with vaults of 14 feet, 4 inches. Another Big Ten representative, Don Laz of Illinois, shared first place with his conference mates but will not attend the Kansas relays.
Meet director Bill Easton thinks the relays record may tumble this year for two reasons. First, the keenest competition in relays history will be at work. Second, the vaulting runway has been moved to the students' side of the stadium to allow a longer run for the birdmen. Of course, the weather will play a prominent part.
Last year Bateman and Cooper tied for first in the relays event, each clearing 13 feet, 8 inches, the highest since Bryan set his record. Right behind them at 13 feet, 5 inches was Bennett.
All four contenders for this year's honors consistently have cleared better than $13\frac{1}{2}$ feet. The Big Tenners, Cooper and Bennett, shared the 1948 indoor conference title with two others, soaring 13 feet, 10 inches. Cooper did the same in the outdoor Big Ten meet for an undisputed first and did it again at the N.C.A.A last summer.
Colorado's Bateman was one of the two to beat Cooper in the N.C. A.A. event, taking second to George Rasmussen of Oregon. The Buffalo cleared 13 feet. 8 1/16 inches at the Colorado Invitational three weeks ago, climbed over 13 feet. $10\frac{1}{2}$ inches in a dual meet with Nebraska April 9, and twisted past 13 feet, 7 inches to win the Big Seven outdoor nissen last May.
Though "the big four" will be the threats to Bryan's record, Leonard Kehl of Nebraska must be reckoned as a possible winner Saturday. The left-handed sophomore has never covered 14 feet but made 13 feet, 11 inches in setting a new Big Seven indoor record last February at Kansas City. He lost to Bateman April 9 when he did 13 feet, $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches in the Nebraska-Colorado contest.
Carroll earned a four-way tie for second at the Texas Reliens when he looked down on 13 feet, 6 inches and duplicated that mark in winning a dual meet with Arkansas April 9.
Kansas—Increasing cloudiness today. Mostly cloudy tonight and Wednesday. Scattered showers or thunderstorms West and central today and over most of state tonight and Wednesday. Somewhat warmer West and North today and Northeast and extreme East tonight, and over state Wednesday. High today in 60's. Low tonight 45-50.
WEATHER
In the history of the Kansas relay, only five men have vaulted more than $13\frac{1}{2}$ feet. Bateman and Cooper did it last year; Bryan did it twice, and Bob Warne of Northwestern did it in 1930.
'UN' Requests Official Flag
A request for an official United Nations flag, to be flown at the mock United Nations assembly at the University, Saturday, April 30, has been made by Phillip J. Carlson. College junior.
Carlson, chairman of the United Nations planning committee for the University conference, wrote the secretary-general at Lake Success, N.Y., for a flag.
"I wrote two weeks ago," Carlson said. "I should have an answer any day now. We got an official flag last year, so I'm sure we'll have one this year, too."
The mock assembly is an annual meeting of Big Seven schools, with other invited schools participating.

Actors Lose 'Ophelia's' Wig As They Begin Kansas Tour
By NINA JEAN JONES and KEITH LESLIE
The loss of "Ophelia's" wig and the breaking of some stage lights were two of the last minute upsets encountered before the University Players started on their trek through Kansas to present "Hamlet" Monday through Saturday.
The play will be given at six Kansas towns and at the University of Kansas City.
The wig was finally retrieved 1 hurriedly repaired, and the 24 members of the cast and production staff started on their way at 7 a.m. Monday.
The special equipment is being transported by a large weatherproof truck. Cast members are traveling in a University station wagon, a University car, and two private cars.
"We were unable to send the play to several towns because their facilities were inadequate." Gu,.. Keeler, director of the lecture course bureau. explained.
In addition to playing the role of Laertes and serving as stage manager, Tom Shay, graduate student, is driving the truck carrying the stage equipment for the five different scenes.
A portion of the trip is making contacts with the high schools. Professor Crafton will talk daily on William Shakespeare and "Hamlet" to special high school convolutions.
Share With Others, Gustavson Urges
Unless those who have more are willing to share with those who have less, humanity will never attain a stable society, R. G. Gustavson, chancellor of the University of Nebraska, told the Honors convocation today.
He quoted Christ's admonition to "love thy God and thy neighbor as thyself," as the answer to present-day problems.

Leaders Train In Recreation

Twenty-five recreation leaders from Kansas towns and cities are expected to attend, he said.
Objectives in recreation organization and recent trends in recreation will be discussed by Helen M. Dauncey, field secretary for the National Recreation association, Washington, D.C.

- "We are beginning to learn that such a policy is best," Chancellor Gustavson said. "America is sharing her wealth as never before with the conviction that it will make the world a better place to live."
Chancellor Gustavson named three areas which man constantly combats. They are famine, pestilence and war. Likening them to darkness, he

compared man's conquest of them to Robert Louis Stevenson's lamp-lighters who by lighting lamps "punched holes in the darkness."
"There is a tremendous area of darkness in war. Attempts are being made to build a decent world. We are beginning to realize that peace is not possible without the fundamental principal of sharing with others," he said.
"Through science, we have partially conquered famine. We are learning how to conserve soil, and advancements have been made in raising the value of foods. Modern bacteriological developments have advanced to the point where such pestilences as typhoid, diphtheria, and smallpox are virtually unknown," he said.
"It is your duty to use the talents so honored here to attempt to be as successful in punching holes in the darkness of war as previous generations have been in the other two." Chancellor Gustavson maintained.
The University of Kansas extension will observe its 40th anniversary at a one-day conference tomorrow. Extension heads of four state schools will be guests.
Extension Has Anniversary
Dean L. C. Williams and Jesse M. Schall, directors of the home study service, Kansas State college; Dr.Ray C. Maul, Kansas State Teachers college, Emporia; E. E. Stonecipher, Kansas State Teachers college, Pittsburgh; and Hugh Burnett, Fort Hays Kansas State college, Hays, will be conference guests.
University extension service began in the 19th century when faculty members of the University lectured throughout the state.
The extension now serves thousands of people. The lecture course bureau furnished talent for programs attended by more than one million people in six states in 1948. The visual education bureau sent pictures which were seen by more than 1,800,000 students in 40 states during the past year. The bureau of extension classes enrolled 19,000. The extension program of the medical center enrolled about 1,000 physicians, and the extension library has served about 5,000 Kansans every year.
