Shade Trees Are Subject of Talk by W.C. Stevens
Botany Professor, in Radi Address, Tells Which Species Are Best to Plant
Prof. W, C Stevens, of the departm. of botany, spoke at the wDFAW, Kansas City State University, as a subject, "What to Plant for Shade."
In his address, Prof. Stevens spoke of the qualities requisite in a good shade tree and gave some examples of the species best suited to shade purposes. His speech in part was as follows:
"I came to Kansas City this afternoon from a small Kansas town nestled, one might say, in a forest for street trees for which thanks are due to the pioneers of the 60s and 70s, who were such as would soon be large enough to cast effective shade. The elm and the soft maple were known to them back in their eastern homes as fulfilling this requirement. "These trees were growing native along our river, where we used exclusively at first."
Size and Strength Desirable
Size and Strength Desirable
"The qualities we would desire is a street tree; are good climate size for it. The trees that sieve storms, clean habit as to littering the shed with shed parts, diseases, ease of transplanting, responsiveness to pruning, good rate immunity from destructive insects and diseases, ease of transplanting, of growth, and long life. No single but a few surpass all the others in their qualifications.
"We may mention as superior for regions east of the 97th mediterranean the American elm, sycamore, sugar maple, Norway maple, red oak, and pine oak. Each of these species is unique and superior in its own way.
"Elm Popular Street Free"
"The elm is deservely the most popular tree, which is a rapid grower, and its branches are not easily twisted off in storms. A double row of elms overraches a street majesticly and while making sufficient shade allows a free movement through the trees, and growth of grass in the parking."
"As we go westward the hard mapple and the oaks must be abandoned and finally the elm and sycamore, their places to be taken by the harbors, green ash, honey locust, Russian mulberry and the cottonwood."
Students Forget Appointments With Photographers
Studio Dates Neglected
Students are not keeping appointments for Jayahwery pictures at the local studios, according to the photographers. A list of appointments for the week undergoes many changes before the week is over.
Excuses for failure to appear at the appointed time are numerous. Some have other engagements at the appointed time and fail to call the studio and explain. Others are neglectful and call at any time. InWrite your responses to the photographers have taken no strict action against them.
Those who are on time are often kept waiting by some one who has been late. Many who have broken appointments drop in at the studios at any time and increase the delay further. Feel to observe appointment times. Jayhawk staff as well as to the studios and the students concerned.
Scores Being Disputed by Several Universities
Information about athletic scores made by Kansas in football, basketball, and track, many years ago, are made on the school's schools against which the scores were made. Old old scores were brought under dispute by the compilation of the Kansas Year Book which was published every seventy years back.
The score made by Missouri and Kansas in a track meet in 1899 is still under dispute, and the scores were but recently settled by W. A. Dill, instructor in the department of journalism in the records of Kansas City Star.
Students at the University of Washington have taken over the slogan, "tow and one-half cent car fare or walk."

"Ee" Kearney, another Phi Phi, was a close second. There were six heats in the 100 yard dash, but the time was made by Wong Wei, an unattached entry. His time for this event was 11 sec. The weather conditions said that this was very good considering the weather conditions.
Graham, a Sig Alph, won the 220 hard hurdles in 24.8 seconds. This event, also, was run against the wind. The meet will be continued today with these events: the shot-put, throw, draw, and the 440 yard run.
