Following are the entrants: Schools Athletics University Class 24 329 College Class 28 288 Juvenile College Class 6 40 Class A high schools 47 706 Class B high schools 66 662 Totals 171 202 Four Kansas State hurdle artists have recently loomed up as co-favorites Minnesota to crack the existing Kansas with hurdlers from the University of Relays record in the shuttle hurdles relay as a result of a time tryout race yesterday in which they beat the time of the present Relays record of 1:023 set last year by Minnesota, by four seconds. Members of this promising Aggie team include Doug Russell and Owen Stoner, prominent luminares of "Bob McMillins' football teams of the last two years. The star of the quartet is Joe Knapberger, who tied the world's record of 7.5 seconds in the 60-yard high semifinals during a dual meet with the Broncos. And he finished third in the 60-yard low hurdle event of the Big Six indoor meet at Columbia. Larry Schmutz is the other member of the team. University of Minnesota enthusiasts base their hopes of the Gophers winning this event for the second consecutive year and of breaking their own record on the fact that three members of last year's team are eligible to participate again this year. Graydon Kilborn, former Minnesota center, and Henry Kroblaush compose the Minnesota hurdle team. Krause is the lone new member of this quartet.

They are to featured at the Engineers Exposition, Friday and Saturday. Each beam has a span of ten feet, and is made of close grained fir wood. One resembles a steel "I" beam, and the other is of box construction. A public test is to be made Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, in the Testing of Materials Laboratory, by applying loads at one-third points until they fail. The contest is open to anyone who wishes to submit an estimate.

Mahan Receives Scholarship MANY COLORFUL PERFORMERS ENTERED IN KANSAS RELAYS Cunningham and Venzkue Head List of Record Breakers Who Will Attack Existing Marks on Saturday With the running of the college section of the Kansas Relays only three days away, track fans from this section of the country are looking forward to a day of record-breaking performances. Asking only suitable weather conditions, a score of athletes from all sections will attempt to lower the marks which have been hung up by past performances. Any number of the present entries are capable of breaking those records. Many contenders who were impressive in their events last year are returning, and many who last year were hanging up high marks have improved so much that their success this year is taken for granted. The 1934 Kanan Raley will present a theatrical Kannah Relay with presentation the 1934 Kanan Raley will present a theatrical Kannah Relay with presentation Alumni Meeting Called For Planning of Drive Delegates Hope to Raise $2500 and Add 1000 New Members Delegates from alumni chapters throughout Kansas, eastern Missouri, and northern Oklahoma will meet at the Memorial Union building Saturday morning to discuss plans for a memorial and financial drive in local territories. James M. Challiss, '17, well-known attorney at Hutchinson and president of the Kansas Bar association, is chairman of the executive committee in charge of the meeting. Dolph Simons, '25, of the Journal-World, is secretary of the committee. The goal of the drive is a thousand new members and $2500 to wipe out the debt. "Two years ago the debt was $6500 and we want to wipe it out this year," said Mr. Ellsworth, secretary of the association. Contributions of five dollars are being asked of members in addition to their alumni dues. Some persons are being asked to make more than one contribution. The signatures of these so-called "Keepsers of K.U. Traditions" will be assembled in a composite group, and published by Graduate Magazine and in other literature. The alumni association hopes to get the local representatives started in the work on the alumni membership and campaign in their local communities. The alumni association was started in the spring of 1863. Last year completed the first 50 years of its existence. This is the first year of the second half-century of the work of the association, and basing its appeal on this feature, orientation expect to make a drive that will end the fiscal year in good shape. NUMBER 131 WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB GIVEN ACCLAIM ON CONCERT TOUF The first appearance of the Women's Glee club on its annual concert tour in Carnegie Monday night was given a very public reception by the large Audience.

Glenn Cunningham, Elkhart, Kam, University of Kansas miler, first came into prominence in high school competition in 1920, winning mile races in the high school meets at Lawrence and Manhattan, and setting the National intercollsal record at Chicago at 4:24. In 1933 he won 30 of 32 races in America and Europe and has won 12 of 13 races since Jan. 1, including the setting of world's records in the indoor mile (Columbian mile at 4:08.4), 1500-meter run, runed (New York Indoor Championships, 3:52:2) and 1000-yard run (Oklahoma invitation meet, 2:11:1). Gene Venkze, Pennsylvania miler, first ran in a special mile in the Pennsylvania Relays of 1830, finishing third to Ray Conge and Leo Lernond in 4:25. In the winter of 1932 he started a sensational streak of record-breaking, establishing a world's mile record at the Millrose games in 4:11.2, and five days later cut it to 4:10 in the New York A. C. games. Later he captured the National A. A. U. championship mile at 4:15. Raymond Sears, entered against Cunningham and Venzek in the invitiation mile at the Kansas Relays, coming from Butter University, Indianapolis, holds the American two-mile record at 9:07.8. (Continued on page 4) German Professor Recalls Unique Heidelberg Punitive System Reminiscing on the days he spent at the University of Heidelberg in Germany, Prof. Charles J. Kullner of the German department recently remarked in an article printed in the Syracuse Daily Orange, about the unique judicial system employed there, an institution handed down from medieval times. The University had a regular court in which a group of judges and a jury presided, and if the student defendant was found guilty, severely sentenced to the University prison. The prison at Heidelberg was situated in the attic of one of the older buildings. Here students were sentenced for short periods of time, ranging usually about a length in length. But this did not stop them from getting punished the prison day started after the last class. It was considered a real achievement for students to be sentenced to prison, and many committed indiscriminations. It was also true that many of Germany's great men can be seen in these quartz cells, where the inmates have carved them on the walls. STUDENTS ARE DEFENDANTS IN SOME CRIME GROUND CASES Two University students, Virginia Luther, c'37, and Jean Beckner, c'37 both of Goodland, are among the defendants in a trial that is now being held in Topeka. Miss Georgia Hill, a former schoolmate, sues them and the group of which they were members, for alleged damages received in a slipper spanking three years ago in Goodland. Miss Hill was subjected to this hazing because she came to a basketball game with a date. She now testifies that she knew nothing of the anti-date rule of the "Sherman County Sals," the group which she is suing. Firestone Representative to Be Here A representative of the Firestone Rubber company will be present tomorrow afternoon and Friday morning at the business placement office, 118 west Administration building, to interview all senior and graduate students who would be interested in a sales position with the Firestone company. Appointments for an interview may be made at the School of Business office in the Administration building. Y.W.C.A.

Hears Book Review At a meeting of the Industrial group of the Y.W.C.A. held yesterday afternoon, Ruth Black reviewed the book, "I Went to Pitt College," by E. Gilsillan. Language Division Sponsors Program By Popular Artist Max Montor, Internationally Known Dramatist Will Appear at University Mr. Monor has appeared in this country in several productions on Broadway including Isenb's "Roamerholm," and with Walter Hampden in "Hamelt." He has played in Los Angeles in "Merchant of Venice," in Sudermann's "Magda" and recently in Elmer Rice's "Street Scene." Max Monter, internationally known actor and dramatic impersonator, will present a program of famous German and English selections in Fraser theater, May 3, under the auspices of the department of German. The artist has also made appearances at the leading universities in this country where he has presented programs under the auspices of the literature and language departments. Before coming to the United States several years ago he was well-known for his acting in various movies, television showings, some of the most popular being Hamlet, Mark Anthony, Macbeth, and Cyrano De Bergerac. The greater part of the program which Mr. Montor will present at the University will be in English, though some of the selections will be in German. Numbers which he has presented elsewhere include works of Goethe, Ibsen, Moliere, Sudermann and Shakespeare. Mr. Monton is a citizen of the United States although he was born in Vienna. He has studied and traveled extensively throughout Germany. He first attended the Imperial Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Vienna. After graduating from this institution, he made his debut in Zurich, and thereafter filled long engagements in Munich, Berlin, and Hamburg. Ten years ago he received an invitation to come to America, and liked it so well that he became a resident. The versatility of the actor is shown by the fact that he has achieved the giving of complete dramas, all roles included, by heart, without make-up or assistants. During his acting career he associated over 600 different characters. He has given performances at Correll, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Smith, and other leading universities. The general public as well as the students are invited to attend the performance here. Illinois Will Grade Faculty Student Council to Cut Out Deadwood Among Instructors The student council of the University of Illinois is considering a plan to "grade" instructors. The idea is that there are occasionally incompetent instructors on the University faculty. The University itself makes no strong effort to determine who those persons are and direct their ways, and accordingly the students suffer. The council feels that they would be doing the University a service by grading instructors. Faculty members cannot tell very well who of their colleagues are poor instructors and they would probably be hesitant to report them. The whole value of such a survey depends on the amount of help and support the council will get from faculty members, particularly those in administrative positions. Faculty members can offer valuable suggestions, and they can, by their attitude, either encourage or discourage the council. Many faculty members realize the need of such a survey. "There are University faculty men who, if judged by the amount of worthwhile material they transmit to their students, may be classified as 'deadwood.'" one of these said recently. "They have permanent jobs and do not worry a great deal about their contributions to the students who pass through their classes, receive credit, learn nothing." H. S. NOEL WILL BE LECTURER AT PHARMACY CLUB MEETING H. S. Noel, director of the advertising department of the Eli Lilly company, Minneapolis, will talk before the weekly colloquy of the Pharmacy club, tomorrow at 11:30. He will be accompanied by Dale F. Ruedig, sales manager of the Eli Lilly company at Kansas City, and Joe Schneider, representative of Typhae. Mr. Schieder was a student in the pharmacy school in 1922. Mr. Noel is a well-known and interesting lecturer and anyone interested is invited to attend. Reader and Dramatist Max Monter, internationally known for his unusual interpretations of drama and poetry, will give a program at the University of Pennsylvania in superspace of the department of German. Jayhawker Magazine To Appear Tomorrow Junior Issue Is Dedicated to Relays; Pictures of Track Stars The fourth issue of the Jayhawken magazine which will appear on the campus tomorrow afternoon, will be dedicated to the twelfth annual Kansas Relays to be held here Saturday.

University students will be able to secure their magazines at 1 p.m. to-morrow at the W.S.G.A. book exchange and in central Administration building. The Relays number features the junior class of the University. One section is devoted to pictures of members of the class, class officers, and pictures of the winning beauty queens as announced in Sunday's issue of the Daily Kansas. Lanny Ross, well-known radio star, and leading man in the recently released motion picture "Melody in Spring," picked the winners. Contributors for this issue are Ray Senate, c'34; Maurice Rice, c'34; Carl Kindswater, e'35; Harriette Sherwood, c'unel; Kenneth Fink, c'42; Bob Gard, c'34; Herbert Meyer, c'36; William Utermohlen, c'85; Harris, c'85; Charles, c'63; Karl Caner, c'71; William Howard, b'34; Franklin Murphy, c'36; and Vernon French, c'36.

Wednesday, April 25, has been set as the deadline for entries. Other sections of the issue are also devoted to general organizations, social fraternities, the University R.O.T.C. unit, and the Rodedeal medical students of Kansas City, as well as numerous features portraying campus life.

Cunningham ran the race in 2:11.1, compared to the old world's record of 2 minutes 11.2 seconds set by Ellis, Great Britain, in 1929. In Brundage's letter he said, "If the regulations were complied with, there is no reason why a record cannot be allowed." Election Protests To Be Registered By O-K Leaders Coalition Campaign Manager Will Charge That Too Many Votes Were Cast Bunyan, in announcing the plans of his party, averred; The coalitionists will ask another vote on certain boxes which they suspect of being particularly irregular, and they will also prefer charges against a number of Pachacampe men like Nino Pachacampe, a Pachacampe leader, said that his party would also bring charges against some men. Oread-Kayahw party leaders will appear at a special meeting of the Men's Student Council tonight formally to contest the recent election in which all but two of the offices were carried by the opposing Pacachamac party. The meeting was called by Kurt Riesen, '73, president of the Council, at the request of William Bunyan, '83, campaign manager of the Oread party. "The political future of the country looks pretty poor when students at a state university think that the best party is the one which can stuff the ballot boxes the fastest. Although it may seem hard to fine a man five hours for duplicate voting, something must be done to clear up the situation." Appering for the coaitionists at the meeting tonight will be Harold Harding, 134, president of the Oreed party; Jay Wanmaker, c94, president of the Kayhawk party; Waldo Shaw, c35; Chevy White, e35; and Bunyan. A number of witnesses will also be called. Reports of duplicate voting were numerous while the polls were open last Thursday. Banyan said that several men were caught open-handed in such practices, and that it was the purpose of the coalition party to eradicate irregular balloting. Last year Oread-Kayhawk leaders protested the election before the counting was completed. James Callahan, '33, and Harding gave notice that they expected to file a formal protest, but they dropped the charges before the election investigating committee met.
