Relays Marks Approach World Records
In opera it's the New York Metropolitan; in the movies it's Hollywood—but in track it's the Kansas Relays.
It took 18 years to build up the formidable set of records which will confront the stars who compete in the nineteenth annual Kansas Relays here, April 18 and 19.
Some of the Relays marks are comparable to world records. Cy Leland of Texas Christian equalled the 100-yard dash world's record in 1930 with a time of 9.4 seconds. Other Relays records only slightly shy of world records are 229 feet javelin throw, the 6 feet $ 7 1 _ {2} $ inch high jump and the 25 feet 4 inch broad jump.
The records:
100 yard dash—9.4. Leland, Texas, Christian, 1930.
120 yard high hurdles—14.2. Wolcott, Rice, 1938.
One mile run—1:10.1, Blaine Ride-
out, North Texas State, 1940.
High jump=6 feet 71/2 inches.
Crater, Colorado, 1938.
Broad jump=25 feet 4-3 8 inches,
Gordon, Iowa. 1931.

Texas, 1939.

Rice, 1935.

borders will be replaced by barrier shrubs.
The first of a series of the landscape pictures to be built has been started just south of Spooner-Thayer museum. The sidewalks have been
torn up and new rounded steps will be put in place of the old ones. These new steps are less dangerous than the sharp steps and are more picturesque because they do not protrude above he level of the grass. The wall is being extended on south and this plot will be landscaped with evergreen, shrubs, and grass.
The plan is to build landscape pictures throughout the campus. Pictures have been taken of certain bare spots and after these spots have been landscaped other pictures will be taken to show the improvement in appearance of these places on the campus.
Plant Permanent Shrubs
All flower beds will be changed and planted with permanent flowering shrubs which will be in full bloom in the spring and fall. This will do away with the constant digging up and replanting of the flower beds.
This is the first building program at the University in more than 10 years. The most recent building to be constructed on the campus was the Watkins Memorial hospital hospital in 1931. New Snow hall replaced the old building in 1930.
Six Buildings in 20's
In the decade of the twenties such buildinges as the library in 1924, final section of the administration building in 1923, the Memorial Union building and the Auditorium in 1927. Watkins hall in 1928 and the stadium
in 1922 were constructed.
The present building program is just a renewal of a 10-year proposal made in 1927. Among the buildings included in the list which will be constructed in the near future were:
a unit of engineering laboratories needed facilities for architecture and civil engineering; music building; chemistry and pharmacy building, or addition to present chemistry building.
