Bonthron Declines Invitation to Run At Kansas Relays
Princeton Authorities Say Miller's Absence From Classroom Is Inadvisable
Efforts to get William Bontron to run against Glenn Cunningham in the Kansas Relays here April 21 were unavailing.
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletic activity this morning receives the following:
"Have no choice but to decline your kind invitation, due to the fact that it is inadmissible for Bonton to absent himself from academic appointments even for a few important period in his senior year.
(Signed) "ASA S. BUSHNELL,
"Graduate Manager of Athletics."
"We had hoped to have Bonthron come to the Relays," said Dr. Allen this morning. "He and Cunningham have won a race apiece this winter from each other, and in all probability a new mile record could have been hung up at the Relays had they met."
The foregoing telegram was in reply to one sent by Dr. Allen to the Princeton Athletic association, offering to underwrite expenses up to $1000 if Bonton would enter the Kansas Relays, Dr. Allen's offer was made after Coach H. W. Hargiss had wired from Philadelphia to talk with Matt Gels, Bontrohl's coach, and that "everything was favorable" for the proposed trip.
Cunningham will run in the 1500-meter, or a mile, if it is found desirable to change the distance, for the Relays here, and will also be entered in the Drake relays.

WELLS GETS FIVE POUNDS
OF CANDY FROM ADMIREI
Lee Calhoun of Kansas City, Mo., graduate of Hendricks College, Conway, Ark, or an adopted Jayhawker, sent Dick Wells a five pound box of candy yesterday because he was so upset by the playing of Wells during the past season.
Wells opened his prize yesterday when the team was having its picture taken. For awhile the picture studio looked like a basketball court as the players scrambled for some candy. The photographer, with difficulty, managed to save his camera. In minutes the panic was over and all was calm. Five pounds of candy could not last long among 11 sweet-starved athletes.

Burt Says Social System Is Unworthy of Surviva
Speaker Tells Noon Forum Audience of Economic Evils
"Our present social order is not meeting the basic needs of mankind—food clothing, and shelter," declared Roy Burt in his address before the noor luncheon at the Memorial Union building today.
Mr. Burt said that every member of society is a member of one or more conflicting groups. Private ownership controls entirely too much power, in Mr. Burt's opinion.
"Our present social system is definitely anti-social. The present social order is responsible for definite groups working against each other."
"There are thousands starving today in this country, while the government reduces the food supply." Mr. Burt said. "On one hand there is an enormous productive capacity, while on the other hand there are great groups of people who are not having their economic needs met.
"Every effort at patching up our social system results in chaos and disorder," he said. "Ten thousand men out of work is a confession of failure. Children starve and food is destroyed, the economic system must be wrong."
Willingness of those intrenched in power to co-operate and change would be an essential to the patching up of the present difficulties the speaker said. He added that powerful interests had never favored a change.
"Only the government has the power to change," he said. "Can it do么?"
--columnist can give you an earful of the well-known "I love me."
In a concluding comment, Mr. Burt said that power was not in the hands of the president.
"Our present social system cannot survive," he declared, "and it isn't worthy of survival."

'Flinthills Peggy,' Kansas Columist, Disserts on Information Sources
Mrs. Greene went ahead to explain that by the outside she meant the seasons, weather, events around the calendar, and news and special events. The inside included her home-life, her family, and her own personality.
"Conducting a column is the most epistemological undertaking in the world." Peggy told her student listeners. "In no other phase of journalism, does personality play so large a part. A reporter must submerge himself in his story, but a

Mrs. Greene's career is an interesting one. She moved to Kansas 15 years ago, soon after she was married. It had been her life-long ambition to write. She had written for the University of Colorado paper when she was in school there, but she did not start her journalistical work with any degree of regularity until five years ago, when she started to write a column in the Chase County Leader. This column was signed "Peggy," a name which has stuck with her.
Her column grew in favor, until she received an offer from the Topika Daily Capital, where her column, which is now entitled, "As Peggy of the Flinthills Sees It," appears daily. She also syndicates her work among eleven weekly papers in central Kansas.
The Sour Owl is doped. That is the best information that could be obtained this morning as to the contents of the Hill's humor publication, which will be sold on the campus tomorrow. The whole magazine is to be so different, that only one word will describe it—doped.
The title even bears an air of mystery, "The Back Number." This morning, between classes, a truck could be seen carrying the dope around the campus. It is not known what kind of dope was in the boxes, but the lettering on them gave an idea of what was to be expected from the Sour Owl, tomorrow.
March Sour Owl Reported to Be Doped Mystery Magazine
The dope in tomorrow's issue, however, will not be mariuana, opium, morphine, or any other of the known narcotics; it will be the Hill's latest depo, Paul Woodmanse, editor, promised today. In addition the issue will contain those popular old features, badge deals and Hill gossip.
