UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 19 1999
Closer Relations Will be Maintained By Kansas Re
Will be of National Scope And Bear Name of State; Records Expected to Fall
"It has been said that the greatest ambassadors of peace are the athletes of the world," Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, said this morning. "In speaking to him, it has been suggested that athletics would be the best medium to wipe out international differences. What is true of international relations is true of sectional relations. The Kansas State University athletic differences and creating a better feeling between East and West.
"One of the fine things about these relays," Doctor Aller continued, "is the spirit of clean competition. Here the athlete competes according to rules and in a competitive way wins. This spectacle of champions performing on the Stadium field before the youth of Lawrence and the state of Kansas is inspiring. It is the finest sort of thing to stimulate college athletes to be great—to follow in the footsteps of the men competing before them. The Relays are worth an untold amount of money to the state in that they create in this way greater desire for a university education and create a cleaner aspect of sport."
Develops Different Types
"This sport is valuable in that it develops a different type of athletes. The track man is more supple than the football man and is called upon to make a different kind of movement, which is a much harder thing to do than punish other fellow. This calls for the highest type of manhood and the Relays, in creating a greater interest in the sport and great value to the state as a whole.
"Track is not a money making proposition for the athletic association, but it has a great advertising value for the school. When Chancellor Lindley first considered coming to K. U., the only outstanding Kansas man he had heard of was Everett Bradley. Olympic star."
"From the advertising point of view, the Relays are among the most important things that have ever occurred in the collegiate history of Kansas. The Kansas Relays are the only big event of nation-wide athletic importance that bears the state's name.
Stadium Track One of Best
Stadium Track One of Best
*Last Christmas the members of the various county clubs went back to school and studied about what K. U. was doing in athletics. Saturday we will have these same high school people from back home here with us as our guests for the Relays. Now we want to show them what we can do. Can we will afford us a wonderful opportunity to do this.*
"The track at Stadium field is undoubtedly the finest in the country and we can well look forward to some unusually fast time on it. The track was constructed in April last year and in the Missouri Valley meet that spring four records were broken and two tied. It is level, of the fact, that it should slow down the court. Fast time will do much toward encouraging high school boys and setting high standards for K. U."
Baseball is Popular With University Girls
Great interest is being shown by the girls of the University in base ball, according to Miss Ruth Hower of the department of physical education. More than thirty girls turned out for practices that were held last week.
Class teams will be picked as soon
as possible and there will be class
games. From the members of
the class teams an honourary varsity team
will be chosen after the baseball
season is over. The schedule for
activities will follow freshmen
and Thursday, 3:30; sophomores
Wednesday and Thursday,
4:30; juniors, Monday and Friday,
4:30.
The State Board of Pharmacy will meet here May 8-9, for the state examinations for registered pharmacists.
Dean Brandt Will Speak to Classical Association
The Classical Association of Kansas and Western Missouri meets Friday and Saturday at Emporia. The association was started at the University of Kansas about seventeen years ago. Dean Brandt is president and he will address the association Saturday morning.
Prof. A. T. Walker will also address the meeting Saturday on ExGovernor Hadley's new book, "Hours of Smiley," a memoir of Glennell University, is to deliver an address to both sessions Saturday. Professor Sterling, Miss Grant, Miss McGregor, and several students are expected to attend.
Record Enrollment
Of More Than 5000
Students this Year
"Increasing Attendance Proves Belief of People in K. U." Says Lindley
The 5,000 mark was passed for the first time, this year, in the enrollment of the University of Kansas, with a total of 5,142 and with an actual enrollment of 4,000 students for the regular class. In 1923 which has 598 members will be the largest the University has ever graduated.
"increased throngs of students at the University of Kansas furnish convincing proof that the people of Kansas believe in the intensive cultivation of man, and cultivation is half the crop," said Cancellor E. H. Lindley recently. "The University is primarily a college, but there is a lot of the success of the institution is always taken in terms of the welfare of the students."
Approximately 90 per cent of the students of the University are residents of Kansas and of the total number of students, 600 come from arms, according to figures from the office of the registrar of students of the state are appended by students in the University.
Contrary to a common opinion among people in the various parts of the state, the students of the University do not have a great deal of money to spend on their studies. More than 30 per cent of the students are entirely self-supporting. This is high when compared to that of other large universities, authorities here say. Naturally, they say, more men than women pay their own tuition; more than that more than 70 per cent of the men can all or part of their expenses.
That the men and women attending the University do not have a large amount of money to spend, is shown by the fact that 50 per cent of their money they earn for themselves. Of this amount 30 per cent comes from personal savings and 17 per cent from government grants or school. Only 45 per cent of the amount spent is given to the students by their parents.
According to enrollment cards, students are preparing themselves for eight different occupations. That this preparation will have a direct influence on the future of Kansas can be forecast because in the past about 60 percent of graduates from the University of Kansas have remanded in the state.
Construction of Library Will Begin About June
Thirty men are now employed in the work on the new library. The excavation work is proceeding without delay, and according to W. M. Anderson, superintendent, and Charles Dwyer, construction will begin on June 1.
If the weather continues favorable, the excavation work should be completed before the last of May. A much larger force of laborers will be employed as soon as actual construction begins. The building should be ready for occupation by February of next year.
Dr. Lane to Discuss Evolution "Evolution from the Standpoint of the biologist" will be discussed by Doctor Lane of the department of Evolution and Genetics of theGraduate Club this evening at 7:30 in the astronomy building. After the address an important business meeting will be held, and measurements will be taken for caps and gowns. Students will be required to do哑ph for graduate representative on Men's Student Council will be cleared up also.
To Announce Final Plan For Railroad Consolidation Soon
Interstate Commission Will Attempt Solution of Railway Problems in the Fall
Washington, April 19.—The Interstate Commerce Commission will announce its final plan of railroad consolidation this fall. The commission embarked upon its task two years ago in compliance with the Trans-Atlantic Railway, which directed it to proceed to prepare a tentative consolidation plan.
In August, 1921, the commission announced its tentative scheme which placed the country's roads in nine phases. The commission enacted a hearing at which the roads involved were asked to state their views concerning it, and to furnish the commission with such suggestions should be embodied in its final plan.
Will Hear Local Organizations
Southerly and Western roads have been heard and Eastern roads will be heard here beginning May 16. Meanwhile the commission is still holding, and will continue to hold, hearings throughout the country to enable
local commercial organizations, shippers, and state railroad commissions o present their views.
To facilitate digestion of a mountain of material which fills the storage room at the commission's headquarters in the form of exhibits, charts, maps, and thousands of papers, the department was divided into three sections.
Each Section *It Is Function*
Each section will have as its duty the use of the data and problems of consolidation in separate parts of the country.
Each Section Has Function
One section will study roads west of Chicago and north of the Ohio river and New England; another, all roads west of the Mississippi river; and a third the roads of the southeast.
Commissioner Hall, in general charge of the commission for the consolidation of labor, will preside over each section.

Directions tor Killing
Dandelions Given Out
By Botany Departmen
Blue Grass Lawns Not Injured By Spray; Must Be Applied Soon
With the coming of spring, demands are coming daily to the department of botany for some method of controlling dandelions. In answer to these requests the department has prepared a sheet of directions which show how to mow and apply an effective spray. The directions given are:
1. The solution recommended kills dandelions and some other weeds, and also white clover. The method is therefore adapted to blue-grass lawns or to lawns in which the white clover can be temporarily sacrificed. Blue grass can be grown for a few days, and later becomes darker green than unsprayed grass.
2. The solution must be applied with a hand sprayer, such as is used for small fruits and vegetables. A sprinkling can is not satisfactory.
3. Solution and strength: One and half teaspoon of salt to each gallon of water. (Iron sulphate is also known as copperas and green vitriol).
4. Method: Spray the whole lawn three times in the spring, at intervals of three weeks, beginning in April before the first blossom period. Spray once or twice more in the fall. If a new crop of blue grass may be injured in hot, dry weather). The following year "pray off", i. e. spray only the surviving dandelion plants, not the whole lawn. Wait two or three years, or until a new crop of dandelions from seed has grown to maturity, then repeat the whole process.
5. Bare spots where dandelions have been killed should be re-seeded.
6. The use of lime and fertilizer will damage the lawn. Try them after this treatment.
7. The solution stains cement and stone. Make a small screen of lath and muslin and protect walks and buildings when spraying near them.
"Rediscover Your 'University,'"
