5-4 inches. Bird won the event by clearing 13 feet 6 3-4 inches. Stoland High Man
Captain Lyle Foy, of Kansas, defending champion in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, repulled the leg muscle which had kept him on the shell most of the season. Foy reinjured his leg in the 100 yard dash, in which he finished fourth, and was unable to run in the finals of the 220.
High point man for the Jayhawks was Bob Stoland, six foot junior. Stoland pulled a real surprise by winning the broad jump and by tying for first in the high jump just as expected.

3-4 inches, a foot farther than he
humped at any previous time this
season. He leaped 6 feet 3-1-4 inches
in the high jump to the tie with Sch-
nacke of Iowa State.

Harris defeated the defending champion in the two mile run, Charles Mitchell of Kansas State, and equaled the record of 9:20.8 which Mitchell established as his best finish. Harris finished second to John Munski of Missouri in the mile run. Foy Pulls Muscle

No Record for Hackney
Elmer Hackney, Kansas State's hit potter, puterved one of the big surprises of the meet when he failed to set a new record in the shot. Hackney won the event with a heave of 51 feet 4 3-4 inches, but he had consistently been putting the shot better than 54 feet the preceding week. The Kansas was fourth in the shot put with a toss of 47 feet 2-1 2 inches.
Nebraska won the meet largely through strength in the weight events. The Huskers took first, second and fourth in the discus.
Fen Durand, Jayhawk senior, threw the javelin more than 185 feet, but placed fourth. Winner of the event was an "unknown," George Kernbaum of Nebraska. He dethroned the defended champion, Bob Waldens of Missouri.

University students read for business and not for pleasure, statistics recorded in Watson Memorial library reveal. During the last fiscal year, which ended June 30, 1988, students from the education department from the education and reserve desks and checked out only 69,059 from the main desk.
The reserve desk alone checked out 173,690 books and publications to students during the last year. Almost all the reading done from the reserve room book is for class reports and papers. The novels and short stories checked out from the main desk are usually read for class work, too.
C. M. Baker, director of libraries, said that the University library carried very little fiction. He has come to the conclusion that students have little time to read material other than required.
Library statistics gathered from approximately 50 universities and colleges show that the number of books loaned from the reserve desk at the University was far above the median last year. The median was also the tool number loaned by the reserve desk here was 241,689.

Regents Resolve No Politics
A. M.A. Meeting
- Operation of Schools on Merit Basis; Four Institutions Under Control
Dr. Fitzgerald Examines Latest Medical Inventions
Meeting in their first business session since they were appointed this month by Gov. Payne Ratner, the state Board of Regents resolved Friday that the nine educational institutions to be enrolled shall be entirely free from politics.
Approximately four hundred exhibits of the most modern facilities known to medical science were displayed at a meeting of the American Medical association in St. Louis said Dr. D. T. Fitzgerald, of the University Health service, who returned the convention Thursday night.
In addition to the five schools regularly under the supervision of the board of Regents, four more Kansas institutions were added to their list in the last session of the state legislature. This will greatly increase he work and responsibility of the administrative organization.
The School for the Deaf in Okater, the School for the Blind and the Western Negro School in Topeka were placed under jurisdiction of the board. Already on the list were University of Kansas, Kansas State colleges, and the three southern leagues Hays, Esposito, and Pittsburg.
Another feature of the meeting was a demonstration of the recently developed method for easing the pain of cancer patients. By refrigeration, the body temperature is lowered more than 10 degrees. The patient goes into a state of hibernation and can be left thus for as much as a week before being revised. Result of the treatment is a complete rest for the heart and other body organs. The method was explained by Doctors Fay and Smith of Temple University.
Operation of the schools will be upon the basis of a merit system, Fred M. Harris, chairman of the board, announced after the session held in the administration building at the University hospital at Kansas City.
"Much time will be required to the new set-up in such a manner as to obtain the maximum of efficiency and dispatch in handling administrative affairs," and a statement issued by the regents.
"In view of the necessary reorganization work which must be done and which will require considerable study no changes or shift in the various personnel staffs are being contemplated now and will not be considered until all preliminary studies have been made. Of when any changes in personnel are made, political consideration will be "entirely eliminated."
Seven of the nine members of the body attended the meeting. Chancellor E. H. Lindley and H. R. Wah, dean of the University of School Medicine in Kansas City, were also present.
Roth's Rhetoric Rewarded; Magazine Prints Theme

Of special interest to Doctor Fitzgerald was a stereoscopic microscope which registers cells in perspective. The apparatus gives a three-dimensional view of the cell subjected to be a valuable aid to science.
"The American Medical Association is growing almost beyond itself." Doctor Fitzgerald said, "It's increase is increasing yearly." Registration at the meeting was near the ten-thousand mark.

The support of Chancellor-elect Deane W. Malotti today was squarely behind the Endowment association's proposal to purchase and remodel Brynwood Place as a "Watkins Hall for Men" at the University.

Kyser's Campuses Invalid; Closing Hours Extended
You see, closing hours were set at 12:45 that night to allow the girl plenty of time to make it home after the dance. But Mr. Kyser, bubbling with benevolence, played overtime, so many of the swinging sisterhood took the allotted 45 minutes to make it from Hoch to home.
To be camped amounts to a major catastrophe in any coel's life. Several were camped last week and they all laid it at the door of the shelter. The officers also entertained at the Senior Cakewalk last Tuesday.
The University has a heart, however, and VELma Wilson, president of W.S.G.A., played the part of lady rescuer, by announcing yesterday that he would be up to 1 o'clock as a result of Mr Kyser's playing overtime.
At home they ran into difficulty Some were campused.
Asks Utilities Be Furnished
Further approval was obtained Friday night in a meeting of the committee which the Endowment association named to handle the campaign. The directing committee drive for contributions immediately.
Professor Templin said a request would be made that the University provide steam heat, water and electricity—the same facilities that are now offered to women who reside at Watkins and Miller halls. "The girls pay about $3 a month for utilities," the Endowment secretary said. "All we ask is that these boys are treated weally."
While Chancellor-designate Maolt will go on record as having made the first donation to the fund, Professor Templin pointed out actually the first gift was made by Watkins hall women who provided four brooms when a group of Summer-fields students were giving the former Acacia fraternity house a cleaning recently.
Association Holds Option
The Endowment Association holds an option on the property and building for $15,000, which offer expires July 1. Professor Templin revealed a report from C. G. Boyles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, had placed the estimated cost of remodeling and refurbishing the hall at $5,000, thereby making the total amount needed $20,000.
All this, it is hoped, will be raised by subscriptions from alumni and friends, chiefly alumni. The dorm and its surrounding three acre tract will be re-christened "Alumi Place" in recognition of the aid old students received toward the realization of the financial goal. To Do Landscaping Work.
"We want to make Brynwood on the east what Marvin Grove is on the north." Professor Templin said. "I've been passing the place almost a century ago, but stantly he supposed someday we could make it a part of the University."
The former dean of the College said the managing committee hopes to arouse interest in groups which might furnish and repair rooms in the dorm. Some of the present Summerfield scholars here, he said, are considering the project of remodeling the former Woodward art gallery in the building as a library or the 50 men who will live there.
