Spender Records His Impressions Of K.U. Students
"American Universities Fil
Graduate of Old Oxford
With Awe." Says
Journalist
Harold Spender, the eminent English journalist, who spoke to the students of the department of journalism last fall when he visited the University in behalf of the Sulgrave Institute, has recorded his impressions of Kansas in the current issue of the Fortnightly Review.
"From Georgia we travelled to Topeka, the capital of Kansas state. The great new fact was the broad new highway that has been built through the state, and will soon link it up with the East. The roads of America are passing at one stride from the worst to the best.
Calls Students Strenuous
He climbed the "Owed"—the steep soil capped by a layer of Kansas plain. That hill is now crowded by the beautiful buildings of the Kansas University. It was an unforgettable day that we spent on the hill-top. We talked to great audience and students and 'sweet girl graduates.'
Universities Train 500.000
Universities Train 500,000
"These American universities fill a graduate of old Oxford with awes.
They are so immense, so rich, so throbbing with life and eager hope,
They seem capable of so much. I know these American universities now train over half a million students.
"The apprentices of journalism took very kindly my simple suggestion—simple to us but not to America—that journalism should have a mission higher than money-making. The great, precise words of this kind of breathlessness to the kind, fatherly words of our leader, Sir Charles Wakefield.
"Oxford trains 4,000; Cambridge about 3,000. Imagine the effects of a nation, the bulk of whose youth is brought up to the university standard. It is the most formidable fact as the world.
Americans Get Technical Work
"The young people in these universities impressed us as eager and serious. We saw them both at work and at play. Of course we in England worked as technical work as work technical training and not university work in the full sense of that great phrase."
"But there seemed a good deal of "but university study going on, even in our sense, alike in languages, philosophy, and literature. The wonder is, that with all these wonderful universities and schools, that there should still be any uneducated people left in America."
Ice Tested for Bacteria
Director Here Issues Licensee To Kansas Dealers
No ice either artificial or natural can be sold by Kansas dealers to be used in connection with foods and drinks unless they have received a certificate from the Engineer for the State Board of Health, and director of the water and sewage laboratory at the University. Last year Mr. Jewell granted 230 licenses and since 1915 when the license was granted in the state of Kansas
If the manufactured ice is found cuestionable or bad, the dealers are written and advised to clean up their plant and send in another sample. In other words, if the other sample sent, it usually passes the test, according to Mr. Jewell. In natural ice it is assumed that the sample is representative of the supply that was harvested. The dealer must have said this in the case has not passed the test when first sent, are advised to send in another sample later, as the bacteria may be killed after two or three months' storage. Most of the ice this year is from a batch the writer thinks should not that natural ice not be harvested.
The dealers applying for a license send a 50-pound cake of ice to the University as a sample. By special instruction in the shape of an apple in the shape of a core is taken from the cake sent in for inspection. The removed cores are then melted in sterilized bottles and the ice is poured by the regular bacteriological test.
The pea aphis or plant house is endangering the early alfalfa and green peas for carnying foods according to Prof. S. J. Hunter. Farmers will receive a callung morning for some remedy to rid the crops of the pest.

Kansas Track Squad Expects Hard Battle With Nebraska Tean
Jayhawkers Will Try to Tak Meet With Sprints and Field Events
Twenty-two Jayhawker track man, under the care of Coach Karl Schademan, will leave tomorrow evening at 8:25 for the land of the Nebraska Cornhusker. The Kansas team is in fine shape and should give Nebraska some stiff competition to carry off first place.
The meet is the hardest one on the Jayhawk schedule. Kansas is depending on the field events and the sprints to win the meet, as Nebraska is especially strong in the distance runs. Kansas is doped to win all three places in the pole vault and high jump, but Nebraska may spring a dark hose and place these events, weight events, and weight events, but Mathews or Norton may come through and place in the contests.
Kansas is doped to take first in the dashes but Loyd or Noble might spring a surprise and nose out Fisher to get revenge on him for the way he passed them in the Kansas Relays. TheULE relay will be a race of many thrills. The Kansas quartet must also dope, as they beat the Cornhuskers indors and also placed second in the Kansas Relays.
Coach Schadelman has announced the following entries for the meet; Fisher, Woestemeyer, Rowland, in the 100-yard dash; Fisher, Woestemeyer and Montgomery, in the 220-yard dash; Fisher, Woestemeyer, in the 440-yard dash; Meng, Brown, Sims, in the 1-mile run; Brown, Sims, Mingler, Kellett, in the 880-yard run; Wilson, Pratt, Schaub, and Grady, in the 2-mile run; Norton, Graham, Dillenbeck, in the 120-yard high jump; Norton, Graham, in the low hurdles; Poor, Norton, Graham, in the high jump; Norton, Graham, in the broad jump; Norton, Rogers, Dillenbeck, Goodel, in the pole vault; Matthws, Grahm, in the discus, shot, and javelin; Griffin, Keffler, Brown, Sims, Moldinger, and French, in the l弯.
Will Have Field Trip
Geologists to Study Formations and Hunt Fossils
The elementary historical geological classes will be taken on a field trip Saturday to study the geology of this region, especially the historical side. Two class sections will be held in the morning, H. W. Hoota and C. G. Croneis, instructors. The formations around Lawrence, consisting mainly of limestone, sandstone, and shale, will be studied with consideration for origin and to form an idea of the conditions under which fossils will be found. Fossils will be hunted.
Last year both the historical and the elementary physical geology students were taken on the interurban and we learned that they inspected the cement plant and inducted the formations from which the limestone is taken to be used in the manufacture of cement. Geological features along the way were noted. The cement plant was also the party will be taken, according to Mr. Hoots who is in charge of one of the sections, but it will be within ten minutes riding distance of town. The company planned to take the physical students out at a later time.

Students Mourn Loss Of Friendly Monste
IN MEMORIAM
One who has long been with us has departed. Let us fill the air with our wails. Let us grush our hair and tear our teeth in sorrow. For lo, the steam shovel has left us for parts unknown.
No more will the cheerful "thiss" of escaping steam vie with professional outbursts of like character. No more wiping crowds gather on his lawn and let him greedy scoop up into its cavernous maw great rocks of limestone. More shall we behold the sinuous cobblestor variously by the iron monster.
How we shall miss the steam shovel! It is as if an old friend had shuffled off this mortal coll and were gone forevermore. Alas, our excuse that we did not hear the assignment because the steam shovel made so much worse than no longer effective, and we shall be forced to seek a new alibit. Let us mourn.
