THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
K. U. APPROPRIATIONS LARGEST ON RECORD
Total Represents Fifty Per Cent Increase Over Any Previous Grant
LINDLEY WAS BIG FACTOR
Chancellor Refused to Give i and Convinced Leaders of University's Needs
The K, U, appropriations for 1921 are more than one million dollars greater than for any previous biennium and represent a fifty per cent increase over any previous total, according to Alfred G. Hill, alumni secretary who gave an account of the campaign before the legislature today.
"The legislature deserves great credit for the manner in which it recognized K. U.'s needs, particularly with present business conditions," Mr. Hill said. "The total of new appropriations is $3,075,000 which is just $1,044,770 more than the amount appropriated two years ago. The new total is in addition to the reappropriation of $500,000.
"In addition the University in all probability will have one of the new dormitories out of the special $500,000 appropriation for that purpose. The division of this amount is left to the board of administration,
"The part which Chancellor Lindley played in convincing the legislature of the pressing needs of the University and other state institutions cannot be over estimated. It was my duty to watch developments at Tupela closely. I know that he was responsible more than any other man for the occupying areas, and the salary needs which finally resulted in an increase of $180,000 annually to the University salary budget. The leaders on the ways and means committees early adopted a policy that this no time to increase salaries. The committees have stood by this policy in other lines. However, Chancellor Lindley would not give up the opportunity to stand another biancium on the present scale and with no provision for the rapid growth in attendance.
"After the senate committee announced its salary increase of $80,000 annually, Chancellor Lindley appealed to the house committee. Previously, it had been an almost unheard of lifting for the house to raise senate figures. However, in 2013 he feared would increase to the very last, took the opposite position and led the fight for a higher salary budget. In the final analysis, a portion of the building program was sacrificed for the necessary salaries. I believe particular credit should be given the chairman of the two ways and means committees, C. E, S. Hrayter of Leavenworth and D. E. Lanser of Herford, and entirely sympathetic with the needs of higher education, Governor Allen supported the University program at all times.
"The increase allowed the University is greater than for any previous biennium. In 1913 the legislature allowed $1,136,000; in 1915, $1,264,000 in 1917, $1,554,000; and in 1919, $2,034,230."
"An important asset to the University in the campaign before the legislature was the fine cooperation of the alumni and former students. Their interest which was expressed in a personal way and by letters to legislators, gave the University greater strength than in previous sessions."

Dramatic eras characterize Miss Spinney's work by its deep sincerity, artistic restraint and classic simplicity. Her facial expressions and movements are said to be as inspiring as her music, which is a rare sense of music and rythm.
Noted Social Secretary To Lecture on Industry
Miss Spinney has appeared before the University twice before. She has been filling engagements for the past few months in New York and eastern cities. Her work has been particularly well received at all of the larger east-city universities, she has given entertainments in four different countries.

ALL-VALLEY TEAM CHOSEN BY COACHES
Missouri Lands Three Men and Kansas Aggies Two on Mythical rive
KANSAS FAILS TO PLACE
Missouri, the Valley basketball title winners this year, placed three men on the All-Valley, and the Kansas Aggies filled the other two openings, in the opinions of coaches, valley officials and newspapers critics, witnessed the Kansas State game. This disappointment to Kansas followers who expected to find Endacott in a guard nutrition on the first team and Rody lined up as a forward on the second team. As matters stand, though, Endacott was just on the second line in the third, and are mentioned on the Honor Roll.
Endacott Is Put on Second and Body and Uhrlaub Mentioned
Allen Praises Southwestern for Brilliant Playing
Bunker, at forward, Williams, center, and Browning, guard are the three Missouri men agreed upon as deserving members of the mythical quinter, and Bunger, forward, and Cowell, guard, are the Aggie representatives. Bunger was agreed upon as the logical man for captain of the two Missouri men, but the critics he possess all the desired qualities of a leader.
The second team follows: Forwards—Grace, Ames, and Bekins, Nebraska; center—Waite, Oklahoma; punts—Washoe, Missouri, and Endacott, Kansas. In addition, an Honor Roll was named as follows: Forwards—Payseu, Drake, Body, Kansas; Browning and Bond, Maryland; Jenkins, Louisiana; Juinnes, Kansas Agries, Guard-Ball, Nebraska; Currie, Arnie; Newman, Nebraska; Ubiah, Kansas; Wowell, Kansas Aggies; Ebert, Drake.
Eldricke was regarded highly by all of the judges and the fact that this win his first year in Valley circles, perhaps had some influence in keeping him from being a choice for first honors.
K. U, MAY HAVE CADET CORPS
"Dutch" Lombard, captain of the Jayhawks basketball team last year, and Singer, forward, were the sateled players who won the national amateur basketball tournament at Kansas City Saturday when they defeated Southwestern College of Winnfield, according to Dr. F. Scott O'Neill, officiating at the tournament.
A bill introduced by Congressman R. E. H. Bull of Iowa, provides for the establishment of a corps of cadets in the various R. O. T. C.'s, two to each state. Seventy men can be appointed to this corps.
Bill Would Put Two Corps in Each State
Men so appointed are required to major in Military Science and to spend six hours a week in military work. The may and allowance to the corps is $40 a month, with $150 a year for fees and textbooks. A man in the corps must attend two camps instead of one, and is subject to the military corps. This places the military department first in the student's work.

LONBORG STARS FOR K.C.A.C
The fact that the bill was introduced by a civilian will probably put it before the public in a favorable light. If a corps is established at all, it will be the means of practically putting seventy men through school.
The man signs to serve nine years in the organized reserve, but is not eligible to call for active service in times of peace.
Dr. Allen said this morning, in reference to the final game, in which he referenced, "No team in the Missouri Valley would have had a ghost of * chance against* Southwestern. He certainly played a wonderful play, even when they offeed, but when they did shoot, they did not miss. And it was one of the cleanest games I ever saw, only nine fouls being made by the two sides."

Ketch identified a gun given him by the prosecution as the one he took from Hamon's necker at the Hotel.
"I went back to the office and sent
for the defender," said Ketch. "I saw
the man running away. The parting of the ways has come.

Freshmen Entertained By Mrs. Lindley Saturday
About 250 freshman women attended the tea given by Mrs. E, H. Lindley at the Chancellor's residence Saturday afternoon,
Guests of honor were members of the Freshman Advisory Board. Dean Albert Corbitt, Mrs. Lindley, Grace Gaskill, president of the Y. W. C. A., and Miss Gunn, secretary, were in the receiving line.
Appearance of Faculty Gardens A Sure Sign of Preparedness For A Doubtful Legislature
The first cabinet of the Y. W, C. A,
and the Freshman group assisted in
entertainment. Margarte Larkin and
Annie Mitchell gave readings.
In one faculty back yard, at least, that of Miss Burnham of the English department, radiates, lettuce, and potatoes are making a brave fight.
Most prominent signs of spring are the new gardens advancing so industriously into view all over Lawrence, or the newly turned soil in the last stages of preparedness for planting. And those of faculties are the most interesting. Faculties always have gardens. Whether or not it is also required that require this or that the legislature has a part in it, we know there's a reason.
The greater per cent of the faculty interviewed said they have already planted gardens, or are planning on doing so. Those who have not, gave as their reasons lack of proper ground lack of sufficient sun or lack of time to cultivate it, Mrs. "Phog" Allen said they would be too boycous raising little Allens this summer for "Phog" to spend time for a garden, and they needed the ground for a playground except a tiny little corner they had planted some lettuce in just to let the children see it grow. Miss Corbin will be too busy this spring to care for a garden, and she says she regrets the fact.
The gardens vary in size from extensive ones to the most modest. The favorite vegetable seems to be lettuce, which tends to appear in almost every garden Only one faculty member was brave enough to confess onions, without being questioned. Registrar Foster is very enthusiastic over his gardening practices and has planted. Although it is to be a big garden, he is going to do all the work
himself. He is making a speciality of Stowel's Evergreen sweet corn and invites the University to have a mess with him when the corn gets ripe.
the *journal* department he knew, kicking off fear, when he took us on the marvelous secret of his labor-saving device. Living on the leeward-side of the hill he has hit upon this plan: As soon as the wind begins to blow down off the hill he goes out and scatches his potatoes about. The wind dries them by dust to the depth of several inches, and soon afterwards it always rains. Then he has his spring planting complete. The main vegetable in this wonderful garden of his, Mr. Flint says, is to be spinach which he thinks will grow best. And Mrs. Flint regards as very edible when properly cooked.
