Kansas Projects of Future Are Briefly Explained at First Session of Council
A 10-year program for the development of intramural athletics at the University of Kansas was announced today by Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics at the university, to the first meeting of the alumni council. Other problems of the University, including a retirement fund for faculty members, the memorial fund, and the next 10 years, were discussed at the afternoon meeting.
After a dinner meeting this evening, unfinished topics of the afternoon will be cleared up, and Clyde Miller, A. B. '95, LL, B. '97, former secretary to Governor Paulen, will tell the alumni how they may aid in furnishing information about the University to members of the legislature.
The moon luncheon was devoted to the athletic situation at the University, and was addressed briefly by the guest speaker. John B. Outland, of Kansas City,
Doctor Allen Tells of Project Doctor Alien's project for the further development of interarm athletic includes the retirement of the necessary bonds from the earnings of the athletic association, the development of a baseball plant on the 10-acre tract south of the gymnasium, and the erection of a field banquet, near the stadium who union building.
"The interest in intercollegiate athletics," said Doctor Allen, "is making it possible for us to see our way clear to complete our stadium, and to put more money into equipment for intramural athletics.
"What we want to do is to have every student in the University engaged in some form of athletics. It is our mission to equip all students needed equipment, but in just the same way that the University has its 10-year building program, so the department of athletics has its 10-year program for athletic development at University."
Arant Upholds Athletics
Doctor Allen introduced the coach in the various sports.
Arant Upholds Athletics
We need not apologize for the interest in the school board. W Arant, an alumnus of the School of Law and member of the athletic board.
"Athletes today are on a far higher plane than ever before," he said. "Only 15 years ago, I can recall that it was the common goal of the football team to have a rather hasty past, and to disappear soon after the season was over, but nowadays by far the greater number of school work, and receive their degrees.
"Athletic coaches, too, are of a higher type than ever before. They are ready to co-operate with other members of the faculty in carrying or academic work. The old professional type of coach has almost disappeared
"Athletics in general are on a far sounder basis than ever before, and I for one believe that athletics, in the proper proportion and the proper place are a necessary part of modern education."
Dr. John H, Outlaw of Kansas City talked briefly on what the alumni can do to aid athletics in the University. Preceding the afternoon meeting, Dr. Smith gave a central Administration building, a group picture was taken.
Building Program Discussed
The University's building program, as well as the Board of Regents' building program for all the educational institutions of the state, was one of the central themes of the afternoon conference. Chuck Browne, president of the Board of Regents, presented the statements of pending policies.
Chancellor Lindley outlined a suggested list of buildings that the University will need in the next 10 years, not only on the campus but with the School of Medicine at Kansas City.

Masefield Best as Poet
Lecturer Says Noted Author Popularized Poetry
"John Masefield has done more for popularizing poetry than any other writer in modern times," said Miss Eva Hainan, instructor in the department of English, who delivered the fourth of the series of lectures on contemporary authors, Thursday afternoon in room 205, Fraser.
“Mr. Maserfield's fame rests with his longer narrative poems,” continued Miss Hangen. “One of his favorite poems, The Widow of Bye Street, has been criticized for its strong and unfortunate tone, but flows with something so beautiful and tender that we forgive him for the strong words.”
The many years that Masehle spent as a cabin boy inspired him to become an author, and other vivid poems of sea life. Masehle has been said by some critics to be the greatest poet of sea life. Mr. Masehle began writing in 1900 and since 1905 has published yearly a volume containing prose and poetry. Mr. Masehle and his wife are now visiting Mr. Thomas O'Connor of New York, who was formerly owner of the Columbia Hotel, in which Masehle was once employed as a barrinter.

Small Patronage Blamed for High Comm Prices
Greater Variety Impossible Because Students Fail to Order Extras, Says Manager
A lack of maximum patronage at the University commons is requiring higher prices for the cafeteria dishes and cleaning supplies, and crowds were accommodated each day. This statement was made today by Miss Hazel Parks, manager of the commons, in a reply to an editorial in The Manan criticizing excessive prices.
"Only about four hundred and fifty students are served daily whereas the commons was constructed to accommodate 1000. The overhead is practically the same for a few as for a capacity patronage." Miss Parks said.
Variety Is Uneconomical
A greater variety of dishes is uneconomical, according to Miss Parks. Students complain of a daily repetition of staples, but when a greater variety is offered they order the same cheese which they have complained. Miss Parks cited an instance when special steaks had been prepared, but only four students purchased them.
The usual menu available consists of two kinds of meat at 12 and 13 cents; soup at 8 cents; three vegetables, 6 to 10 cents; three or four salads, 10 to 15 cents; bread, 1 and 2 cents; butter, 2 cents; three to five desserts, including cake, jello and two kinds of rice; two kinetos and cakes, 12 to 13 cents; three drinks, milk, coffee and cocoa, 4 to 5 cents; jellies and butter rolls.
The breakfast variety is almost as great, being composed mostly of fruits, cereals, eggs, toast, waffles, whenakes, and any of the three
Money Lost on Milk
Money is actually lost on some things, such as milk. Miss Parks inserts, but she has been sick of the health effects of selling it below cost. The deficit must be made up on the pastries which are of much less value. Miss Parks also denied that the prices were higher this year than last. The same prices that were in effect last summer before she accepted the management have been retained, she explained.
