VOLUME XIX
LARGEST TRACK MEET FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS
Entry Lists are the Larges Since the Annual Meets Were Started
BEST ATHLETES COMING
Some Missouri Valley Records are Expected if Track Becomes Firm
Entry lists for the Missouri Valley track and field meet have been completed and drawings for preliminaries will take place tomorrow noon. The list for this year is one of the largest on record since the beginning of the annual meet eighteen years ago. It includes the names of all the most prominent athletes from the more important schools of the middle west.
If the weather clears up sufficiently before Saturday to allow the track to become firm there is a good chance that some Missouri Valley records will fall in the meet. The records as they now stand are:
Some idea of the size of the meet may be gained from consideration of the number of entries in the various events. There are 25 men signed up for the 1-mile race; 38 for the 440-yard; 30 for the 1- mile; 31 for the mile; 26 for the 2-mile; 20 for the 120-year high hurdles; 24 for the low hurdles; 1e for the shot put; 22 for the discus, 28 for the broad jump; 17 for the pole vault; 1e for the javelin; 7 teams for the 1- mile relay; and 11 for the mile relay.
Besides the athletes who will be present, the coaches from the various valley conference schools and faculty representatives of the members will also be the guests of the K. U. Athletic Association and Council. Attendees at the visitors will be held at the Lawrence Country Club Friday evening. Arrangements are being made to take care of a number of the guests at private residences because of the lack of hotel accommodations for such a group. A dinner is in order to chairman of the committee in charge of these arrangements.

LLOYD GEORGE FOR RUSSIA
Declares Soviet Must be Lifter From Rut
London, May 25 — Premier Lloyd George this afternoon addressed a crowded House of Commons on the subject of the Genoa conference. The prime minister began his speech by referring to Russia. Without assistance of other nations, he said, Russia has no hope of extracting herself from the pit of squail into which she has fallen.
Lloyd George cited the Russian-German pact as an illustration of the risk Europe has in its previous policy to avoid war until she changed her government.
Explaining the danger that lay in the Russian-German collaboration, the premier pointed out that every weapon was bought by Russia to be exploded.
The peace of the world and the stability of Europe, Lloyd George said, depend upon an arrangement whereby the volume of trade upon which millions depend for their daily bread can be increased.

Mail Campaign Pledges
Are $3,195 This Week
The Mail Campaign of the Memorial Corporation has netted an aggregate of $3,195 this week, according to Alfred G. Hul, secretary of the Corporation. The accounts received were as follows: Monday, $650; Tuesday, $250; Wednesday, $970; Thursday, $655.
A pledge for $100 was received from W. H. Cowell, f£08-11, who is now director of athletics at New Montreal State College, Mr. Cowell says.
R.O.T.C. SHAM BATTLE WILL BE HELD TODAY
"The Million Dollar Drive for the Stadium Union and the Uncle Jimmy Memorial is the greatest thing K. U. has ever undertaken. You can count on me a second time if you find it necessary to put the subscription across. A Jayhawker does not know what the word failure means."
Added Feature of Mud to Make Encounter More Realistic Stress
The big R. O. T. C. sham battle scheduled for Wednesday and postponed to Thursday, will be held this afternoon, weather permitting, according to Major H. D. Burdick. In any event there will be an inspection of the unit in Robinson Gymnasium by Col. F. B. Terrell. Colonel Terrill, of the Seventh Corps Area, stationed at Omaha, Nebraska, is inspecting the site where Mr. Terrell will leave tonight for Manhattan, where he will look over the Argie "Arms."
The Haskell Indians will be unable to participate in the maneuver this afternoon on account of examinations, says Capt. Dinsmore Alter. Company C, of the R. O. T. C. will take the defensive position around the edge of Potters Lake basin, supported by about half of Company H of the Na-
guns. R. O. T. C. Companies A and B will attack from the north in an effort to take the heights. The rest of Company H will support their 4-tenant J. C. Holmes, advancing as far tenant J. C. Holes, advancing as far as possible with gun and ammunition carts and then going forward on foot to set up an advantageous position behind an entilfishing fire on the "enemy."
Plenty of ammunition will be issued and if the affair is held at all, it will be a realistic success; the students putting into practice the principles of tactics learned in the class room. The mud, which will abound in great quan-
tries, will be an aucer relic of the combat, and all ex-service men who participate will probably feel quite at home.
The May issue of the Graduate Magazine is now being made out. This issue contains the detailed program of the commencement to be held June 2 to 5, and urges alumni to attend.
Among the other interesting features of the magazine is an article, "When You and I Were Young" This is the comparison by an old graduate of the appearance and customs of the women of former times with those of today.
The magazine also contains a story of the Engineer-Law affair under the heading "What is Happening on Mount赆." There is also an interesting article on K. U. track records, and considerable information about K. U. alumni and former students.

MALE QUARTETTE PLEASES
Individual Features by Fine Arts Students Given Artistically
The Men's Glee Club, under the directorship of Dean Butler, gave a successful and enjoyable program午夜 in Fraser Chapel. It was the last concert of the year and proved a very清凉 climax to the several other programs presented by the Glee Clubs this year.

The Glee Club sang two other groups and Elmer Oisson, who is a member of the Senior Composition Class of the School of Fine Arts, gave a concert at the played Lieder "Hangarian Rhapsody," in very interesting style.

The concert closed with our Alma Mater sung in ringing tones by the Glee Club with the audience joining.
PAPER IS PRINTING BIBLE
West Virginia Daily Uses Scripture in Installments
Bluefield, West Va. May 25 (United Press)—The Bluefield Daily Telegraph is printing each day an installation of the Biltt, H. I. Shott, editor, was interviewed by a United Press correspondent, who asked the reasons for publishing the chapters of his book that reaction the editor had observed.
The editor declared he believed the general public was really interested in religion and the Bible, but that many persons did not read the Bible because they did not have it before them 'in an easily readable shan'.
said some paper a long distance from here, was publishing an abbreviated form of the Bible as a daily feature. It was suggested that the Telegraph wrote a text of the New Testament and after thinking it over I decided to do it.
"The way we came to start printing the New Testament," he said "was through notice a news dispatch that
"Usually an innovation in news features has some objectors, but in all the mass of correspondence that came in, there was not a single letter carrying anything but commendatory and congratulatory phrases.
"We announced the forthcoming installments," re continued, "and the result was we received many commendatory letters
"Another peculiar thing, and one we rad not considered at all in deciding to print the New Testament, was the fact that quite a number of readers wanted to scribe during the time we carried portions of the Bible.
Prof. L, N. Flint spoke Wednesday night at Forest Lake Club house at the annual dinner given for the honor students in journalism in the Kansas City, Kan, high school. The class is taught by Helen Patterson, A. B. '17, a former editor of the University Daily Kansan.

Eldridge Will Leave to
Prof. Seba Eldridge, of the Prof. Seba Eldridge, of the sociology, will go to Poaria to speak before the Child Welfare League of Pooria on the housing problem and to consult with them on the issue of housing, with the routing condition in Pooria.
The invitation to speak at the conference comes as the result of a social survey which Professor Eldridge made with Rockford at Roecklow College, Rockford, Ill.
Lecture in Illinois
The survey made by Professor Eldridge included housing conditions in Illinois, and the conclusion reached was that the state needed a housing institution, because it is being used in several states, and in some cities include regulations regarding construction of houses with regard to ventilation, sanitation, heating, and all features bearing on health, morality, or good standards of living.
COLORADO WILL BORE
NEW SIX-MILE TUNNEI
Construction Will Take Two Years, and Cost About $6,720,000
Construction of that bore was authorized by a bill passed by a special session of the state legislature. Under the terms of the measure, counties benefited most by the tunnel will constitute a bonding district and costs of the project will be paid by the county from the sale of the bonds issued.
Denver, Colo., May 25, (United Press) - Within a few months--perhaps weeks--work will be begun on the project, the greatest project, the Mofft tunnel.
The project is not a new one. Baca in the early days, engineers figured on the feasibility of a tunnel through James Peak to save miles of travel and hours of time on railway traffic across the Colorado Rockies.
The Moffatt tunnel will pierce the Continental divide through James Peak. It will be six miles in length and it will require 6000 ft. It will be constructed at a boist-
of 9000 feet and will take two years and a half to complete, according to estimates by engineers.
Then the Denver and Salt Lake railway was constructed. Its builder was David Moffat, pioneer Coloradoan, who had the energy and vision to push the project. Today Moffat road is known as the scenic route of the west. But its steep grades and curves make it one of the most expensive roads in the country to operate. During the winter because of the danger of snowslides and the obstruction of trains by immense snow drifts.
The Moffat tunnel will eliminate the worst grades and curves on the road and will provide a more direct route over the range.
Trains probably will be operated through the tunnel by electricity and automobiles and vehicles will be taken through on especially constructed flat
Nearly a thousand men will be given employment when work starts on the bore, it is estimated.

SACHEM ANNOUNCES RESULT OF ELECTION
Chancellor Lindley Makes Known Fifteen Men of Honorary Society
FACULTY HELPED ELECT
Ten more to be Chosen Next Fall—Ceremonial Held Then
"The Sachem Society of the University of Kanaas, organized to stimulate and encourage students to public spirit in the student body has this year adopted a new method of selection of members, approved by practice in many universities, and whilethere is the choice of worthy men.
"in behalf of the University
I take pleasure in presenting as
new members of the Sachem
Society the following: Joe
Gillard, Editor; Larry
Endacott, Hilary Mabin, Armin
Wostemeyer, Coy Patterson,
Burnett F. Treat, Wallace
James, Louis Miller, John Wulf,
Waldo Bowman, Milton Cum-
bern, Michael Bremh, and Paul O'Leary."
E. H. Lindley, Chancellor.
The new method, which has been adopted in electing members to the Sachem Society, is that two independent elections are held; one in which the faculty members of Sachem elect fifteen men and five women, the faculty members elect fifteen. Then a joint meeting is held of the student and faculty members and these two lists are compared. Those men who have their names on both lists are elected to the Sachem Society. The students are chosen on school activity basis.
Plans had been made for a public ceremonial, when the names of those men elected would be announced, but their election has been deferred until next year.
This year the Sachem Society has worked out a plas for acting as a medium between the profession's fraternities and the athletes, who are down in their grades. This plan will be in working order next fall.
Initiation was held last night at the Acacia House. Fifteen members were elected this spring and enough will be elected next fall to complete the membership of twenty-five. After initiation, the following officers were elected: Chief Sachem, Lloyd Rupenthem; Keeper of Fires, Paul Endacott; Medicine Man, Louis Miller; and Wampum man, Bernett Treat.

The purpose of the council is to give the engineers of the country an opportunity to do public service as outlined by the council and also to co-operate with other interests in furthering public welfare.
Many Pledges Paid
"The response that the K. U. students and alumni are making to "Pay Up Week," will stand as a challenge to future student bodies and alumni," said Sherman Ellison, assistant treasurer in discussive drive this morning.
"This is the first big proposition, of this kind, that the University of Kanas has ever tried to put across," he said. "In part because institutions that the first big proposition is the hardest and that after that the alumn and each student body recognize the even bigger impact that put across big things like this much easier."
