All Library Books Must be Returned By Friday, June
Records to be Straightened Before Summer Session; Checking System is Simple
All students are expected to return to the libraries of the University any books they have borrowed. This must be done by the Friday before commencement, accumulation of the University. Since the bookkeeping system at the University is not as complete as the systems at other institutions, the records are more difficult to keep and the co-operation of the students
No Check Kept on Circulation
"The school is fortunate," said Mr. Manchester, "which does not have such a system of bookkeeping as they use at the University of Chicago. At that institution tire time of one hour per week for the fines and time limits on the books. Here at the University we have never had sufficient cause for a complicated system of checking, and as at most the books are used more in the building than they are outside."
No Check Kept on Circulation
An accurate check on the circulation of Spooner library has never been kept. At one time the slips were counted for a period of a few weeks and the average number was between thirteen hundred and eighteen hundred per week.
A larger number of books are used, but of them are not taken from the Library.
"As to the kind of book which is most in demand here," said Mr. Manchester, "we have kept no accrual Manchester, "we have kept no accurate account. But, one time at Chicago I observed the slips for a while and found that books of literature had the greatest demand on economics since second and third. The literature include languages other than English and that classification steadily headed the list."
System Permits Free Use of Books
If the students of the University fail to return the books they have borrowed, at the proper time, they necessitate considerable unnecessary correspondence in tracing the whereabouts of the University's property.
A double checking system, showing the name of the book to the student, the book is due, with other information, is not used here and the students are allowed much freedom in checking out the books.
At some institutions the librarians are requested to call ll books in two or three times each year and check up the stacks. The librarians here provide advice for the summer session, and must have the assistance of the students.

Professor of Ecology Speaks to Students On Practical Botany
Doctor Cowies Cleared Disputes Over Ownership of Land By Tree Study
"The Practical Use of Botany" was the general subject discussed by Dr H. C, Cowles, of the department of botany at the University of Chicago, speaking before students of botanical subjects this morning in hall ball
Doctor Cowles' special field is ecology, a study of investigation in relation to environment in the work of an ecologist, or the work of an ecologist, Dr. Cowles cited his work in northeastern Arkansas for the United States government to determine whether there were lakes in the country was admitted as a state.
This area had not been settled because it was shown on the official maps to be lake region from the Mississippi river. Doctor Cowles proved that this region was not a lake at the time the state was admitted.
The evidence which proved that the region was not lake covered at that time was found in oak trees which were, in some cases 300 years old. Oak trees, Doctor Cows pointed out, would not grow in water.
Another place in which Doctor Cowles had an interesting problem was in determining just where the United States had been, but the United States and Sain.
The discussion arose in the dispute over the state controlling oil interests being developed in the Red river bottens. Here again trees were planted to provide homes on the land to the south bank of the river bd of 1819. Oklahoma has control of the land to the middle of the present stream. This leaves a strip of woods wide and 600 miles in length belonging to the Federal government.

rayhawkers Will Show Up Wel in Dash and Field Events; Fisher Will Run
Although Kansas was beaten by Nebraska in an earlier season meet, the decisive victory over the Aggies last week by the Kansas team, has been considered by dopersest in allotting points in the meet.
In the track contests hold this year the Kansas team shows well in the dash and field events. Fisher, star Kansas sprinter, won his events from both the Aargies and Nebraska, in the dual meets with the two schools, and the injury he suffered in the race, participated in the valley contest. Kansas should place well in the pole vault with Captain Rogers and Norton entered. Poor should take the high jump if he is in form.
$3.50 to $7.50
The chief weakness of the Kansas team this year has been in the middle distances. The Agiles have shown well in both the middle distances and the outfield, but a well balanced team, and looms up strong in a contest of this type. Blanchard, Washington University, is considered the best hurdler of the Valley. However, Kansas entries have a chance of placing in these events.
