Outdoor Track To Begin Soon; Coach Gives Call
With better weather promised plans are under way for the outdoor track season.
Although some of the men out for track were transferred in the navy program, most of them still remain on the campus, along with the civilians still out for the spring sport. The Jayhawkers fared better in the indoor meets than was expected, according to Coach Ray Kanehl, but the outdoor season will be tougher and much work is yet to be done in order to have a contending team.
Anyone interested in track is urged by Coach Kanehl to go to the stadium any afternoon and check out equipment. Coach Kanehl has no way of knowing all the possible track material on the Hill, but he is convinced that there are several good prospects that are not out for practice. Besides these, there are many men who may have possibilities but do not have initiative to report.
report.
Kaneli had an excellent record at Wichita High School East and is capable of putting a fine Kansas team in the field if only the material were available. During the indoor track season 64 men, at one time or another, checked out equipment and now only 31 are left. So the need for track men is urgent.
Coach Kaneh intends to have things going at full swing by Monday because it won't be too long before track meets will be held. A dual meet with Iowa State is already scheduled for May 13 at Ames. On the following Saturday will be the Big Six meet. An attempt is being made to schedule other meets with the remainder of the conference schools.

RED CROSS---
(continued from page one)
Red Cross Drive on the campus, has announced that a student drive is now being organized under the supervision of Miss Marie Miller, assistant adviser to women, to be conducted next week. Specify announcements are to be made Friday.
In the Red Cross Drive held among the faculty and employees, $10 or above was given by 86 members. From the employees of the Union building came a contribution of $126. By special coverage of curetakers and building and grounds employees $70 was raised. Both of these groups have given additional amounts through the regular University Drive. In the Union building one cook alone gave $35.
The AST's have already contributed $200 toward the Red Cross Drive, Col. W. L. McMorris, has announced. Contributions are still continuing, and a much larger total is expected, he said.
After the performance of the play "Close Quarters" Allen Crafton, professor of speech, made an appeal for the Red Cross and more than $25 was collected by the Jap Janes, women's pep organization.
Professor Buehler announced that in the main student Drive, the committee expects the individual students to give at least an amount equivalent to the price of several shows or of "For Whom the Bell Tolls." This Drive differs from former drives in that it is basically a War Fund Drive with 85 per cent going directly to the war fund. The Red Cross is the only organization that is allowed to follow men to the front.
Professor Buehler expressed his appreciation for the generous response that had been made everywhere to the campaign, and urged liberal student participation in orits quota as it has done in every der that the University could meet war drive that has been set up during the current struggle.
