PAUL B. SEARS----
Sears Has Written Four Books
(continued from page one) research experience to present-day problems, especially those pertain ing to peace.
Doctor Sears has written more than fifty technical and popular articles on botany, ecology, and conservation. He has also written four books, "Deserts on the March," "This is our World," "Life and Environment," and "Who are These Americans?"
Doctor Sears is a member of the honorary fraternities Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, and Phi Sigma (biological). He received the Izaak Walton League award of merit for "Merritorious service in the cause of conservation" during the past year. In 1927, he received the Book-of-the Month Fellowship prize of $2500.
The Kansas Academy of Science was founded in 1868, and is the oldest state scientific institution in the United States. It now has a membership of more than two hundred persons, of which 44 are life members and seven honorary. It is the fifth largest academy of its kind today, and is one of the most active. Membership is composed of persons from all of the state educational institutions, and also of interested laymen.
The aim of the Academy is to "foster original research and investigation." The Academy is also interested in the conservation of natural resources, and the development of economic resources in Kansas. The Kansas State Geological Survey is an outgrowth of this latter activity.
The Kansas Academy promotes the Junior Academy of Science, which is organized to create and foster the scientific interests of high school students. The Junior Academy, which usually meets with the State Academy, will not hold a meeting this year. Due to transportation difficulties, the member schools held individual contest meetings.
HALL SCHOLARSHIPS---
(continued from page one)
eration, these halls, which are unique in American education in that high scholarship is a requisite for admission to their cooperative living privileges, established what is believed to be an all time record low in the cost of living in American colleges and universities. The total cost for the year 1940-41 for each man for food, utilities, salaries, insurance, maintenance and repairs, and room rent was $13.90 a month.
Russell L. Wiley
The work in all the halls is done entirely by the residence scholars. The men make all their own beds, sweep the rooms, dust, wax, and polish the floors and the furniture, cook and serve the food, and wash the dishes.
Prior to the opening of the halls in the fall of 1940, the only cooking school for men ever to be staged in Kansas was conducted for the two dozen men whose duties it would be to prepare the food for the residents of the halls.
PWCL----
untimed from page one)
(continued from page one) the campus will need a place for recreation in leisure hours. We propose to give them such a place in the form of an All-University USO. 5. We believe in a lowered activity fee in view of the probable decrease in athletic events and extra-arricular activities next year.
6. We believe that an agency should be established on campus where student checks may be cashed; we will work for the establishment of such an agency.
7. In order that the All Student Council may be sensitive to adjustments which changing conditions demand, we ask for closer contact between the student body as a whole and its governing body. We ask that any student who sees a need for an alteration in University policy which affects students may have the opportunity to present his views and the assurance that these views will be carefully considered.

Banana Tree Is Producing
Greenhouse Will Be Open For Spectators Sunday
The open house will be a gardener at the University and custodian of the greenhouses. While all the houses will be open, that of special interest, Mr.Reiter believes,will be the tropical collection. Members of the Kansas Academy of Science, here for their Seventy-fifth anniversary meeting Saturday,will be given an opportunity to tour the greenhouses Saturday,but the open house for the public will be Sunday.
Open house at the University greenhouses from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday will give students an opportunity to see hundreds of tropical plants which will be on display. A tropical atmosphere will be furthered by parakeets, love-birds, zebra finches, and multi-colored canaries.
open house will be in charge of J. W.Reiter, landscape
Of especial interest in the tropical gardens will be the 25 foot banana tree which is actually producing bananas this year. The plant was set in the greenhouses 14 months ago in a tub, and later transplanted in the earth. It soon reached the top of the greenhouse and the leaves have been forced to grow back down. Some of the bloom is still visible and a large hand of green bananas is the center of attraction.
Other interesting plants in the
collection are oleanders, hibiscus, orchids (not in bloom as they are only three years old and it takes seven years to develop blooming plants); orange trees, the white passion flower vine, and the Papaya, tropical fruit from Hawaii, plants of which were brought from Hawaii by Chancellor Deane W. Malott. Another interesting Hawaiian plant is the green ti, leaves of which are especially important in the native recipes for broiling fish.
Reiter points out that hundreds of plants from all parts of the world are in the tropical greenhouse, which is situated back of Fowler shops.
