Colonel Read Joins Extension Bureau
Colonel Lathrop B. Read, Jr., has been signed for the 1948-49 season by the bureau of lectures of University Extension. Read formerly was superintendent of the Kansas Highway patrol and at one time was Douglas county undersheriff.
He will appear in Kansas and adjoining states chiefly before school audiences to tell stories of the "old west" and of the ancient customs of the American Indian. Read will also display a collection of Indian curios begun many years ago by his grandfather.
Colonel Read lived among Indians for 15 years and has worked with more than 50 different tribes.

Veterans Haven't Needed Red Cross Loans Yet
The Red Cross has made only a few loans to veteran students even though there has been no report on the mailing of subsistence checks, E. R. Elbel, veterans' bureau director, said.
He explained that the Veterans' administration has had one more week in which to mail checks between the start of the semester and Nov. 1 than they had last year. This might be the reason that no more Red Cross help has been asked, he said.
The bureau of business research will conduct a research project for the Southwestern Lumbermen's association, Prof. Leslie L. Waters, director of the bureau, said today.
Research Bureau To Conduct Study
The work will involve analysis of the operating costs of 1,300 retail yards in Kansas and Missouri. The distribution of sales by-products, comparative markups, and operating expenses will be studied by the size of the yards and their geographical distribution. Professor Waters added
Lindley Landscape Will Be Completed
Landscaping around Lindley hall will be completed this fall if the needed material arrives, said James Reiter. landscape foreman.
Almost all the trees are planted and work will go ahead when 8,000 narcissus, crocus, anemone, and seilla bulbs arrive. Some varieties of narcissus will be shipped directly from Holland.
The lawn has been seeded and will be re-seeded in the spring. Nine hard maple trees have been planted within the past two weeks. With the recent planting of iris and chrysanthemum, there are about 7,000 blubs in the ground.
A plague imbedded in stone, will indicate the class which presented the gift.
The landscaping, which was started the past spring, is the gift of the class of 1947. The plants will cost $3,000. The University will pay for the labor.
The desired effect will not be realized until the plants and trees have four or five years growth, said Mr.Reiter.
A new postal meter machine has been installed in the University mail station. The machine prints an official tape, about the size of a regular postage stamps, to be used for either parcels or letters.
It Prints Stamps To Speed Mail Service
The stamps are printed up to $8.99 and give the date, the issuing office the amount, and the number of the machine.
B. E. McKee, clerk at the mail station, said that only stations with a sufficient volume of parcels could get the new postal machine.
"It makes things move much faster in the office," Mr. McKee said. He asked that used postage be removed from parcels before remailing.
