of Conference
Twenty-three colleges and universities were represented at the Midwest Student Conference held at Northeastern University, March 15, 16, and 17, according to "Andy" McDonald, c23, who, with Stanley Learned, c24, represented the University of Kansas at the conference.
Three main topics—publications, undergraduate government, and intercollegiate athletics—were discussed. McDonald led the discussion on athletics. Ray T. Kelsey, Purdue, and Harold M. Keele, Illinois, led the discussion on publications and undergraduate government.
An address on "Intercollegiate Athletics and Intra-Mural Sports," by John L. Griffiths, commissioner of the NCAA, was presented to McDain should be the outstanding talk of the conference. 'I noticed on one scoreboard the word "guests" rather than "opposers," but that stimulates good sportsmanship."
Learned Headed Committee
The following schools were represented: Alabama, Arkansas, Chicago, Cincinnati, Carnegie Tech, Crofton, DePauw, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan Agricultural, Michigan, Michigan Agricultural, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Ohio Wesleyan, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Tulane, Wisconsin, and Iowa State. Several other schools were represented. All of these were elected into active membership.
Griffiths, Outstanding Speaker
Stanley Learned was chairman of the committee on resolutions and constitution at the conference and ran a close race in the election for secretary of the conference. McDonald was elected on two committees for next year—the committee on creden-
tails and the committee on the con-
ference.
Men of Note Were Present
NUMBER 118
The conference was almost continuous from Thursday morning to Saturday afternoon with lunchees and banquets served at the North Shore hotel. Several men of note in the educational field were present, among them Thomas Arkle Clark, dean of men at the University of Illinois.
"At the conference at Lexington, Ky., last year," said McDonald, "an ideal system of student activities was worked out. This year the problems were discussed in detail. It seems that the purpose of the conference—that is, to exchange ideas for the exchange of ideas of local interest—is being realized."
"We were well entertained by Northwestern University," "Andy said, in speaking of the conference "and the meetings were all good. The discussions of student activity problems by the students themselves were

Chancellor Expresses Regret on Kessler's Death
Former K. U. Booster Dies
"It is a matter of profound regret to hear of the death last night of George E. Kessler, of Indianapolis, Ind," said Chancellor E. H. Lindsley. "It is a serious loss to the University for he had not completed his work and has always been interested in the planning of the building of the University."
Years ago Mr. Kessler drew up a landscape plan for the University, a picture of which hangs in the Chancellor's office. Last year he came with much wealth to help in the completion of the building plan.
Mr. Kessler died last night in Indianapolis, after a sickness of a few days with influenza. He is designer of the Kansas City park plan and park projects in many other cities. Since the organization of the park project in Kansas City he had Fordscape architect for it and was made consultant to the city plan commission when that body was organized.

Former Secretary Says Russians Want Education
"Even in Russia where conditions are as bad as can be imagined, the desire for higher education is growing," said Conrad Hofman, former secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and now executive secretary of the European Geneva, Switzerland, in a recent letter to George O. Foster, registrar.
"The problem of too many students is growing to be world wide," he said. "In Russia, the government has taken advantage of the economic benefits that subsidies and support, provided they accept the government's principles and agree upon the completion of their work to serve the government." With the continued help of student relief can this sort of thing be avoided."

There can be no unfinished business in the program laid out for them, in remembrance by their mla master.
For Democratic Ideals
"So we must complete the fund of one million dollars net, and build the Memorial Stadium and the Memorial Union. They were unafraid to die for these institutions, we should be unafraid to live for them and work for them. So it is little enough that all of us-citizens of Kansas-help to establish these memorials, the one for developing sturdy men for America and the other for mobilizing the democracy of thought and ideals for America's perpetuity."
No set quota has been assigned to each city, but they each have assumed responsibility for a proportionate amount of the remainder necessary to reach the million dollar mark.

"Plant Woody Vines",
Says K. U. Professor
Over Star's WDAF
According to C. W. Stevens They Satisfy Many Needs of Home Planting
"The woody vines are among the hardiest and freest from disease and pests of all plants suited for growing about our homes and no plants give so large a return for the required expenditure of time and money," said Prof. W. C. Stvens, of the department of botany, in a lecture broadcast yesterday over WDAF by the Kansas City Star.
"They afford such a wide range in habit of growth, character of foliage, flowers, fruit, and season of bloom, which are often the reasons of home planting can be satisfied by them alone. And since they spend upward rather than outward they are adapted better than other classes of plants to narrow confines of town and city lots.
"Before choosing a vine for a particular place and purpose we need to know the height to which it grows. The tall growing vines harden here in the shade, so you need to watch the Chinese wistaria, the Virginia creeper, the trumpet creeper, and the Japanese kudzu vine. The vines of lower growth best adapted to our conditions are the clematis, the bitter manship's pipe, and the climbing roses.
"A sturdy native vine, appreciated
when seen in fall and winter, but sol-
dron planted in our gardens, is the
same. It is found along land-
road roads.
"Of the vines growing to a moderate height the climbing honey suckle and the clenatis stand supreme for our climate. Two varieties of honey suckle should be mentioned as having special value to us. Our native scarlet honey suckle, and Hall's evergreen honey suckle, and Hall's evergreen have greater value than these for noch pillars, trellises, pergulas, and fences.
The climbing roses are the most beautiful of the hardy vines for their flowers are born in abundance and are rich in color of color and delightful fragrances.
