AT K. C. A. C. MEET
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1922.
Got Thirteen Points—Won Both
Hurdle Races; Took Second
in Shot-Put
K. U.'s TOTAL TWENTY-SIX
Norton Broke High Jump Record Here and Is Now Eligible for His Letter
The annual K, C. A. C. Invitation track and field meet in Convention Hall Saturday night was full of thrill startling with the forty pound wrestlers vying for their share of great races by a group of collegiate stars. Everett Bradley, Jay hawker track captain, was the high point man of the evening with thir-
the sixteen pound shot put. The Kansas track team annexed twenty-six point$^d$ during the course of the evening.
Perhaps the real treat of the meet was the 1,000 yard special run between Joie Ray of the Illinois Athletic Club and Ray Watson of the Blue Diamond. Ray won the race easily, and the spectators wished that they could have seen Ray really run. The time for this event was not very fast, but the L. A. C. man showed some wonderful running form.
The showing which the Kansas runner made in the mile run will undoubtedly put a Kansas 4-mile relay team above Indiana in Urbana March 4. It Massey and Wilson had little difficulty in winning from the field, Wilson taking first place and Massey second. Massey盯 until in the last to the last lap when Wilson pulled hard towards content to keep ahead of the remainder of the field.
The 600 yard special race for the Shannon-Douglas cup went to H. Wolters of Arnes. Paul O'Leary, the regular Kansas entry in this event, did not start as he has not been up to form due to illness. Melvin Grinza took the lead from Ben Kaufman and Jawahawk colors in this race and acquired himself well.
Loren Murchison, the speed marvel of the I. A. C., showed a clean pair of heels to his opponent in every race and had him run fifty yard dash in the fast time of 52.5 seconds, and again stepped to the front in the open quarter. Fisher, Kansas freshman who was running unattached was tripped in this race on the first lap, or else the Illinois fighter had a much harder struggle to win.
The two mile relay between the Jahywkers and the Kansas Aggies was a great race, neither team being able to hold more than a three yard lead. Kansas was beaten out in the final lap when Kykondahl passed James and held a three yard lead as he crossed the tape.
The Jayhawkers came back in the one mile relay against Nebraska, and won it with yards to spare. Coach Schlademan has a mighty fast bunch of tracksters in O'Leary, Bradley, Griffin and Meldinger.
Emerson Norton won frequent apluse from the crowd for his work in the high jump and in the pole vault. Norton took the high jump to 6 feet and was second. K. U record with a mark of 6 feet 1-3 inches. This entitles Norton to a "K" and the letter will be awarded to him when he becomes eligible for quality competition. Norton tied with Emerson in the pole vault for third place in the gymnasium.
Eccrette Bradley easily took the 50-year high and low hurdles. Sylvester of K. C. A. C. took second in the low hurdles, while Kearney placed third. The team won one heat, winning first place, but could only take third in the finals.

DR. FRANK M. SHELDON AT VESPER SERVICE
Students Must Have "Ideals of Steel," to Cope With Modern Problems
That the daily life of the student demands strong, well rooted "ideals of steel" and that modern problems like climate change are faced by Washington and Lincoln require men and women with "ideals of steel" for their solution, was brought out by Dr. Frank Sheldon in a paper published at 4:00 e'clock Sunday afternoon.
The subject of Doctor Sheldon's seminar was "Thinking and Acting Like a Scientist." Mr. Sheldon is the Secretary of the Congregational Educational Society of Boston, Mass., and is well known as a lecturer to college university, and high school students. He is here in the interest of the University of Chicago. He also observed throughout the country.
In his sermon Dr. Shaldon brought out two main ideas: The personal religion of Jesus and the immortality of Jesus. "This is God's world no matter how good or bad the people Are." The Father is able to meet all the needs of the people was the teaching of Jesus. The will of God was that His Son should have universal good for everyone, because of that will was also to bring the good will to follow beings." Dr. Sheldon said in further explanation. "The sacredness of human life was a part of the religion of Jesus."
JOURNALISTS HEARD EDITO
"The greatest battlefields are not out in the public where every one can see. The greatest battles are fought on the battlefield of the soul," Dr. Sheldon said in concluding his sermon. Preceding the sermon Mr. Phil Darby sang a song and Howard Naylor, e22, gave a short introduction concerning the Universal Day of Prayer.
Arthur H. Little, Associate Editor of Business, Here Today
Mr. Arthur H. Little, of the Burroughs Adding Machine Company, associate editor of the Magazine Business, gave two practical talks this morning to students in the department of journalism who are interested in advertising or in writing for trade and Class Journals.
In telling what kind of articles business publications want Mr. Little said, "The business man wants to know how to do a thing, and whether it will work. He wants technique. If your story tells of some plan that the other fellow can adopt, it will get by the editor."
Three ways to stumble on to good feature material for business stories according to Mr. Little, are to observe a screen display or watch display ads. If a window display shows especial cleverness, the man who thought it out is usually the sort who is working out other clever ideas in his business; ideas that will work well in business.
In writing a business story, Mi Little's outstanding advice was to "B specifie."
The Book Exchange will be open from 1:30 to 4:30 o'clock on March 2 and 3, according to Orpha Harding, the manager. Checks and books not sold will be given on those dates. Books not called for will not be kept, but will be sold for what they will bring.
Chi Omega should instill yesterday day for Jeanette Strickler, c$25, Dorothy Kipp, c$25, Wintifred Goldsburg, c$25, Faye Burr, c$25, Fern Johns, c$25, Margaret Bright, c$25, Hiren Wagasser, c$25, and Louise Cowdery, c$25.

And Says Sandburg is the Best Catch-as-Catch-Can Poet
"I have just finished reading Carl Sandburg's book, 'Smoke and Steel.' He has done a real thing. He puts America between the covers of a book. His verse strikes and sting and thier and burses and burn, and I love it. I also want to share with my boy who is at Harvard. I wish every student in America could read 'Smoke and Steel.' These verses are as good as a trip across America, vastly better than a trip in a Pullman or a motor car, for they are American. If a European should ask me what country Greco-Roman poet in America worth reading, I would toll him to read Sandburg and 'Smoke and Steel.'

STUDENT FROM CHINA TELLS OF CONDITIONS
Conducted an Open Forum at Unitarian Church Sunday Night
MONGOLS SEE PROGRESS
Vital Stage in the Existence of the Nation Has Been Reached
"Western influence is not always good for Chinese problems," said Chung Hwa Lo, Chinese student from Canton, China, in an address and open letter to the United Nations, a Unitarian Church, Hwa Lo in his subject, "Old and New China," conflated himself to a discussion of a few of the problems confronting modern China, and a review of the actual greatness of China as it has been built through centuries of effort. Hwa Lo said, "A vital stage in our existence has been reached. New problems present themselves; successful solution of these problems means victory for China; failure, her ruin." China and the Pacific are destined to be targets, Hwa Lo believes. Resources for unlimited agricultural, commercial and mechanical development are China's. But much will be accomplished first in the regeneration of the Chinese nation. A spirit of friendship must replace mistrust and embitter
"You do not know China. Visitors, tourists, writers, all have combined to give you a superficial view of our hidden underworld," he said.
The real China, Mr. Le explained, is a mass of 400,000 people occupying territory as large as Europe, who in the shape of "the giant who is awakening, has just become conscious of his power and interests in the outside world."
"The history of China has been purely domestic," Ha Iwa said. "Uniqus among nations, it has set its scholars above its warriors, and has retained its sense of democracy counties centuries of monarchy.
"Even now we do not need a government," Hwa Lw declared. "We are largely a socialistic people. We are done without government before."
At present China has two governments, each of whose subjects is on peaceful terms with the other. North China government is located at Peking, and South China at Canton. The two governments are recognized by foreign nations.
Questioned as to whether or not China as a whole was likely to adapt itself freely to conditions of the "New Era." Hwa Lou replied.
"Largely, yes. The opposition comes from the educated class. They have seen western civilizations, and do not approve of it as a means of regenerating China. They think that China is not Christianize China the western nations of the world are participating in religiousization themselves. China is moral." Ho La declared.
"The American is crazy over his dollars. We put our scholars first. Social prestige is not gained with us through wealth or birth." Commerce is a stronger factor at present in progress than religion, Iwa Loa said.
"The complete regeneration of China will be due to three things," Hwa Lo said, "political, religious, and
As examples of what the West is doing Ha Wlo mentioned the factory systems now taking the place of the old system of handcraft, and the op-era industries, in communication through the medium of good roads where we may run Ford.*
"honestes." In closing, he said,
"As a message from the East to the West I would say, 'As God is One, let all His people be one.'
Johnson Wants to See Those Who Will Teach
K. U. students who are intending to teach next year are advised to enroll at Prof. W. H. Johnson's office in the building where vacations are already being received by that office for next year.

It is customary for superintendents and principals to come to Lawrence, usually during the month of March, teach the teachers whom they employ.
Students who intend to teach are urged by Prof. Johnson to enroll at his office at their earliest convenience.
K. U. Student Volunteers Talk at Epworth League

UNIVERSITY TO HAVE SPECIAL POST OFFICE
Post Office Inspector Decides Change is Necessary for Efficient Service
The University of Kansan will have a post office all its own in less than a year. "John Doe," University of Kannas, will be the extent of the address necessary for a K. U. student. After the last visit of the post office inspector the chance was reconsidered and present manner of handling student mail through the Lawrence post office is not satisfactory.
"The new post office will be known as the University Station in charge of a regular civil service appointee of the government. The new office will be located in Uttala and there is a possibility, but it won't go out from the station to the University residence district," said Registrar Foster.
At present the cost to the federal government, under contract with the University, for the post office station at K. U. is $250, while the cost to the state in maintaining the station is $1,000 or more. When the new classified post office comes into existence May 1, the federal government will assume the expense of maintenance, the university must furnish necessary equipment and utilities till quarters may be prepared in the Administration building the station will continue at the present quarters in Fraser Hall.
NEW MAXIMUM WAGE SCALE
Wages of all student help employed by the University, which requires no previous experience or special skill is to be reduced to a maximum scale of 30 cents an hour according to a notice received at the business office from the Chancellor. This change is to take effect March.
Student Help to Receive 30c An Hour
The idea of the change, according to Mr. Klooz of the business office, is to get a maximum wage scale for students in order that the heads of different departments may more readily budget allowances and that the carrying of many different scales will be eliminated.
Work in departments requiring previous experience will be reduced accordingly, the amount to be left in the hands of the heads of the departments. These reductions are to effect the student help only. The wages at present range from 32% to 40 cents an hour.
Plans Being Made For Successful W. A. A. Party
Every effort is being put forth to make the Jaywalk, to be given March 10, a successful party, according to Charlotte Pearson, president of the Women's Athletic Association. It will be a one 'o'clock dance in Rockefeller Gymnasium. Saumur's five-piece orchestra will furnish the music.
"An original scheme of decoration, worked out in crimson and blue is to be used," said Nestor Moore, chairman of the decoration committee. He says it will be covered with a great net woven with crimson and blue streamers."
A Jaywalk has been given every year since 1919 by the W. A. A.

DAN HARRISON KILLED BY TRAIN AT EUDORA
Crash With Train Results in Death of One Student and Injury of Another
GIBBENS SERIOUSLY HURT
Accident Caused by Car Skidding Onto Track in the Snow
Dan B. Harrison, c22, was killed and Leon D. Gibbens, c23, was severely injured yesterday noon as the result of a wost bound Santa Fe passenger train striking the Ford coupe in which they were riding, at a grade crossing near Eudora.

Gibbens hipped and a broken arm together with minor injuries. However, it was stated this morning that his condition was not beyond the critical stage.
According to reports the two students were returning to Lawrence yesterday morning after having attended the K. C. A. C. meet Saturday evening in Kansas City and were just outside of Endora. They were compelled to drive slowly owing to the conditions of the road which the early show had slipped along and were on the railroad tracks before them of the approaching train. A large temporary oil tank constructed close to the grade crossing is believed to have hidden the train from the two occupants of the car.
Harrison made a vain attempt to swerve the car from in front of the train and by so doing probably saved the life of his companion, according to a resident of Eudora who saw the accident. The car was struck squarily in the middle, completely demolishing the machine, and throwing both occupants some fifty feet from the accident. Harrison who as driving was thrown some thirty or forty feet down track, barely missing being crushed, then speeding through train, while Gibbens was weaved of the wreckage and landed against a post several feet away. The boles of the two victims were brought to this city aboard the passenger train and rushed to the hospital.
Both Harrison and Gibbens were members of the Beta Theta FI fraternity. Harrison was also a member of the bachem Society, honorary senator, and was from Downs, Kan. Gibbens was from Downs, Kan.

Harrison, of Downs, and brother, William Harrington, of Survive. Funeral services, it was stated this noon, will be conducted from the family home in Downs and interment will be in the city cemetery.
GOLDSMITH REVIEW IN STAR
Vogt's "Art and Religion" Review, by K. U. Professor
"Beauty is one of the essentials of human existence." This statement is quoted from the book "Art and Religion," which was reviewed by Goldwin Goldsmith, professor of architecture at the University of Kansas. Dr. Van Ogen Vogt, author of the book, though a congregational minister of Chicago and not a professional architect, has, nevertheless, a remarkable sensitivity to architectural beauty," and Professor Goldsmith. This is evidenced by the illustrations in the book, which are characterized as some of the very best samples of American church architecture.
Another striking passage which Professor Goldsmith quoted in his book review is: "If the young are the great adventurers into the unknown and untidied paths of the new, they are also generally occupied with the details of civilization. If the members of civilized life. Without exactly knowing it, they come back from college and find the churches lacking in culture. They are offended at the crudity of the speech, manners, and forms of religious life. Having found delight in the artistic and literary works of the schools, they firn no comparable satisfaction in the religious world."
