Senior Committee Places Invitations Deadline at May 4
Contract Goes to Elliot Co. Design Will Be on Display in Campus Buildings
Orders for senior invitations will be taken at the business office beginning today until May 4 at 5 p.m. Robert Bussard's senior invitations committee announced today.
The contract for the invitations has been let to the Charles H. Elliot company of Philadelphia. Designs were submitted to the invitation committee for the three classes of invitations. The design was submitted with the name "Kansas" and the great seal of the University on the front in raised letters.
"May 4 is absolutely the last date on which invitations may be ordered," Howard Hoover, class president said today. "This deadline will not be moved up, and there will be no re-ordering." He added that "the 4 will not be able to obtain invitations."
Samples of the three kinds of invitations are now available at the business office. In a few days, posters showing the samples will be placed in the foyer of central administration building, in Watson library, and in the lobby. The third invitation leather covered, cardboard covered, and paper covered, are offered at prices of 40 cents, 25 cents, and 10 cents respectively.
Delivery will probably be made to seniors by June 1, in order to give them ample time to mail the invitations. Each order at the business office must be paid for in advance, or the invitations will not be ordered.
A meeting of the senior class has been called for Thursday evening in room 105 in Green hall at 7:30. Hoover said that the invitations would be discussed with the class at that time, as well as plans for a memorial to be left the University by the class of 34. This will be the second meeting of the year. Another meeting will be held early in May, when plans for commencement and commencement procedure will be taken.
The executive committee of the class, consisting of the heads of the major committees and the class officers will meet in the council room of the Memorial Union building at 4 p.m. Thursday.
Addresses Law Students
Survey of Foreign Courts and School Given by Dr. Burdick
Last Thanksgiving he addressed a group of Americans in China, after which he visited the law schools of that country.
Dr. William L. Burdick, professor of law and vice president of the University, addressed the Law School convoction yesterday on the Law Schools of foreign lands. This was in effect a postponed report of an extensive 15 month course that made last year of the various courts and law schools throughout the world.
The first schools of law that were visited included those of Hawaii, the Philippines, and the Japanese Imperial University.
Other law schools visited by Dr. Burdick included those of India, Egypt, and the ancient schools of Italy. He found the German schools to be different from those in the United States in that they trained the students either for the bench or as avocates. In England the students are trained for law in schools but for cultural purposes only, the professional training is gained in courts.
In conclusion Dr. Burdick stated that the legal education is better in the approved law schools of the United States than in most other civilized countries, but the requirements for admission to the bar are much lower.

The study of External Galaxies is new in the field of astronomy. These Galaxies are groups of stars like our own solar system. There are literally hundreds of thousands of them in the skies. They are believed to be 200,000,000 light years away. Light travels at the rate of 186,000 miles a second. If you want to compute the actual number of miles away these stars are work this equation: $200,000,000 \times 60 \times 60 \times 24 \times 365 = 186,000$.
Columbia, Mo.
His address here will be on the subject of "External Galaxies." The lecture is open to the public, and all those interested are invited to attend.

Relays List Grows As Texas Schools Make Late Entries
Weekend Additions Bring Total to 57 Colleges; Selection of Officials Made
The entries received include University class, Texas A. and M.; College class, Northeast Texas Teachers College, Denton, Texas.
With the arrival of three more entries today for the twelfth annual Kansas Relays to be held here April 21, the total number of competing schools has been raised to 57. The entries received this morning, one in each of two divisions of the meet, has helped to swell the total number of participating teams from nine to a number considerably in excess of those represented last year.
Iowa Sends Strong Team
Particularly outstanding among the list of events will be the invitational milo race, featuring a renewal of the Cunningham-Verrick feud. Three other men, Raymond Sears of Butler University, and Harold Manning of Wichita, and Glen Dawson, Tulsa A.C., both running unattached, are among the most outstanding middle distance runners in America. The event will be run-off at 3 p.m.
Outstanding among the list of entrants in the various relays is the University of Iowa. Iowa, a four time winner of the mile relay at the Kansas carnival, is the only team besides Missouri to capture this title more than once.
Anchored by Captain Sidney Dean, the Iowa University track team, runner-up in the indoor Big Ten meet this year, has been flirting with time equal to the present relays record. Other members of this team include Bernard Page, Russell Henry, and Ed Becker.
These same four runners constitute the half-mile relay team which bettered the American indoor record in this state quadrangular meet run in March.
Minnesota a Record Holder
The Iowans also have a fine shuttle relay team, composed entirely of sonhomores.
Minnesota a Record Holder
The team which is likely to do most toward thwarting the efforts of the lowiars to regain possession of the shuttle hurdles relay is Minnesota, defending champions in this event and one of the most successful members of last year's team back, Krause, LaRoque, and Knoblauch, the Gophers entertain hopes of lowering their own Relays record in this event.
Other outstanding Minnesota performers include Wayne Slocum, distance runner who will appear with the Gopher four-mile relay squad, and Bill Freimuth, Western conference indoor shotput champion, who will be out to break the oldest mark on the record books of the Kansas games, a record of 40 feet 10 inches established by Herb Schwarze of Wisconsin in 1925.
