Wichita East Clearwater Win Prep Track Meet
In weather suitable for almost anything but a track meet, the 40th Annual University of Kansas Interscholastic Track and Field meet was held here Saturday with Wichita East winning the Class A title and Clearwater heading the field of Class B schools.
After a night of hard rain the track was thoroughly soaked. To add to that, intermittent showers and hard driving rains fell through out the day. The last event on the program, the mile relay, was run in a rain so hard that it made it difficult to see across the track, and by the time the last heat began, water completely covered the track at least two inches deep. Because of the extremely slow track no meet records were threatened.
Wichita East won the Class A title last year, but Clearwater replaced Bentley as champions in Class B.

Sportorials By Charles Moffett
We doubt if there ever was a worse day for a track meet than last Saturday. Even if the rains stopped Friday morning, the track would have been in poor enough condition, but with the hard driving rain Friday night plus the showers all day Saturday, it made it all the more difficult to run . . . The high jump, broad jump, and pole vault were all held under the west end of the stadium . . . Several high schools who had planned to enter the meet failed to arrive because of the floods and continuing rains . . . Also several teams were unable to leave Saturday because of the high water and were stranded here over the weekend . . . The weather washed away all chances for any new records to be set. Don Price of Topeka pole vaulted 11 feet $10^{1/2}$ inches, but has previously done over 12 feet. However, there was a psychological disadvantage present as the vaultors had to run through a 3-foot doorway and then leap with the threat of cement beams overhead . . . The mile relay almost turned into a swimming race as the track had two or three inches of water on it and the entire event was run off in a driving rain that even limited visibility. Nevertheless, both class A and B turned in good time considering the conditions . . . Wichita East and Clearwater completely dominated the meet both capturing 53 points.

Meet director Ray Kanehl knew many of the East boys as he was track coach at the Wichita school last year when they won the relays.

Plans are being made for a football game between the varsity spring practice squad and several alumni on the Hill. The game will be played at Haskell stadium under the lights under the sponsorship of the Kansas Relays club. Although practice will be held to a minimum because of the weather the game would offer some fine entertainment as well as some good football. More detailed plans are expected to be announced soon.

Grades Are Released By Advisers Today
Mid-semester grades for freshmen and sophomores were recorded over the weekend and may now be obtained from the students' advisers, announced Paul B. Lawson, College dean, today. Since several of the juniors' and seniors' grades have not been turned in yet, their grades will be mailed to them as soon as the College office receives and records them.
Dean Lawson urged students in the two lower classes to consult their advisers, whose names are posted on the bulletin board across from the College office in Frank Strong hall, sometime today or tomorrow, if possible. They may still see them any time Wednesday however. Wednesday evening notices will be mailed to the parents of all students who are receiving five hours of F or have over 40 per cent unsatisfactory work.
TODAY Thru Thursday
Dean F. T. Stockton, of the Schoo of Business, will go to Topeka, Wednesday to attend the meeting of the joint committee on retirement plans for the first state schools of Kansas, of which he is chairman.
At the meeting, proposals on retirement plans for faculty and other employees of the five state schools will be prepared to be submitted to the committee of legislative council.
Stockton to Attend Meeting in Topeka
Dean Stockton will confer with Dr. Fred Guild, director of the research department of the legislative council, who was formerly the head of the political science department here at the University.
Fifty persons attending the 38th annual meeting of the Kansas and West Missouri Classical Association, Saturday chose Topeka as their 1945 meeting place.
If transportation difficulties from the flood are overcome, Dean Stockton will also attend a meeting of the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, on Friday and Saturday, in Chicago. Postwar plans will be discussed.
Topeka Will Be Host To Classical Group For 1945 Meeting
Miss Jean Robertson, Topeka, was elected president of the organization with Miss Helen Anderson, Kansas City, vice-president, and Miss Winnie D. Lowrance, University High School, secretary.
Cancellor Deane W. Malott addressed the delegates at a luncheon meeting in the University club room of the Union building. Clarence A. Forbes, University of Nebraska, was the principal convention speaker.
Faculty members of the University of Kansas who took part in the program were Sam F. Anderson, instructor in German, who presented a "Tribute to Prof. Miles W. Sterling!" F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law who spoke on "The Value of Classical Training to the Lawyer," and Winnie D. Lowrance, assistant professor of education, who spoke on "And There Was Sertorius . . ."
FOLK CULTURE----
(continued from page one)
"It is not a process of cheapening which is involved; it is not that we should ask a great artist like Siziget to play trivial compositions; rather that we see in the rich performance of a man like him new values in life which are valid all the time, not just for enjoyment during the concert."
Trainees Win Exhibition Game
The basketball game played last Friday night on the 12-foot baskets between the V-12 team and the Varsity was won by the V-12's 46 to 41.
10-4 The game was played in Robinson gymnasium and was attended by several coaches and high school athletes here for the interscholastic track meet, as well as several other interested spectators.
Before the contest began, Dr. F.C. Allen, chief advocate and originator of the new goals, explained the conditions of the game. The new rules of unlimited substitution, five personal fouls allowed each player, and the right of the referee to stop play if one of the defensive players is hurt. For purposes of experiment, a field goal counted three points and a free throw only one.
High point men for the evening were Schimenz of the V-12 team and Bob Turner of the Varsity, both with 12 points made on four baskets each.
FLOOD----
(continued from page one)
No deaths or injuries resulting from the flood have been reported in this area, but several families in the Wakarusa Valley were marooned in their homes. Red Cross workers managed to get food to them, and also helped move several families, including one mother who was alone with eight children, taking them to the Community building for the time being.
Ship Winters, president of the Chamber of Commerce and director of the flood work, stated this morning that everything was under control and unless the levees unexpectedly softened or there was another unusually heavy rain this evening, there would be no danger. County trucks and employees were standing by, however, and the Salvation Army was still assisting with feeding the workers.
The aid provided by military trainees was the second occasion within a year that such help was given. Last June nearly 50 naval trainees threw their bodies into a break in a dyke to hold back the waters until sand bags could be placed. This act of heroism resulted in a public celebration later.
