THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
K. U. REPRESENTED IN AMERICAN LEGION
many Alumni Have Been In instrumental in Establishing the Organization
GOWENLOCK WAS AT PARIS
University Grad Was at the Initial Meeting of Soldiers Held Abroad
That University of Kansas men have been instrumental in the formation of the American Legion in Kansas is revealed in an article by Thomas A. Lee, Legion state commander, in a report describing the number of the Graduate Magazine.
Mr. Lee states that at the preliminary meeting in Paris, before the expeditionary forces had been returned home, Major Jormi Gownenbok, '10, was ordered to be freed. Lieft. (Col. Theodore Roessel, who later was strongly supported for the position of national commander of the Legon.
Mr. Lee's article reads:
"The first representative of the region in Kansas was Capt. I. E. Lambert, temporary secretary until the St. Louis caucus in May, 1919. Many of the Kansas delegates to this caucus were K. U. men, including Dr. Charles J. Martin, 07, Webster W. Holloway, 14, I. E. Lambert, '11, E. D. Clausen, Reuben Leeky, and Thomas A. Lee, '10. At the first organization of the State, W. W. Holloway was elected temporary vice commander, and Wilder M. Metcalf, national commiteeeman, and Charles I. Martin, committeeman at large. In addition several of the congressional districts of the executive committee were represented by K. U. men, including Paul K. U. men, and Mahon Weede, '21, of Lawrence and Harry Sullivan, '13 of the fourth district.
"At the first state convention at which the Kansas Department was permanently organized, held at Wichita in November, 19, 9th, The A. Lee was appointed vice commander and John N Floyd and Clarence H. Polindexter were chosen committeeman at large. Among the K. U. men elected on the state executive committee were Orin Al. Lewe," 113, Atchison, Ernest
A. Blincoe, 15, Fort Scott, chavin F. Lambert, Emporia, Matt Gulloffy, 14, Herrington, Charles L, Lotridge, p08, Pratt, J. Somers, 15, Newton. Alex J. Rieder of Kansas City was elected department insurance officer.
"At the next state commission Pittsburgh in September, 1920, the K. U. men elected Thomas. A. Thomas. a national tenderer. W. H. Walloway, national committee. J. N. Floyd. Arkansas City, and E. W. Rolfs. Junction City, committees at large. Five K. U. men hold over an district committee. Weede of the first district. Blincoe of the second district. Lambert of the fourth district. Guilfoyle of the fifth trict and Somers of the eight district. Two monarchs of the eight district. Lawrence, and J. T. Marshall. Concordia, were newly elected, making seven out of sixteen district committees K. U. alumni
"The influence of K. U. in the Legion seems to be growing rather than lessening. At each convention more K. U. men have been elected to offices or to the state executive committee, and the writer meets K. U. men in almost every town in the state who are interested in the region. At the last state conference there was a notice of the office of state com-
wander and of three them, Lee, Holloway, and Fred Apet, 119, Iola, former chairman of the American Legion Americanism Committee, were alumni by the college, finally by the Lexon was written largely by K. U. men and it is not to much to say that there have been perhaps more representatives of K. U. on the state executive committee than of all other colleges put together, although several other colleges are owned by Dr. C. C. Hawke, Winfield, of Northwestern, and Richard C. Meek, associate to the national committee."

CHINESE STUDENTS AT K. U. WILL GIVE PLAY
Entire Proceeds of Entertain ment Will Relieve Starving Millions in China
An oriental entertainment of music and song, giving a close-up view of real oriental life, and full of the charm of the Far East will be presented by Robinson Gymnastics by the Chinese Students in the University as a benefit for the starving millions in the famine stricken areas of China, according to an announcement this week. Y. Chang p.24, who is managing the Charg
Native costumes will be worn and the entire program will be given by natives of the Orient, but the spoken parts will be in English. It will be a unique experience for the people and will differ for the people of Lawrence according to Mr. Chiang.
The proceeds from the entertainment will be used for the relief of the 45 million Chinese people who are starving in the provinces of Chihli, Honai, Shuntung, and Shani. There was as almost complete availability and conditions are described by returning travelers as in deserate shape.
The entertainment will be given in Robinson Gymnasium in order to accommodate a large crowd. The admission will be $5c. The expenses are being kept very low, so that nearly the entire gym can be used for the Famine relief.
Willison Chiang, who is managing the program said this morning that the decision to put on this entertainment was the result of an appeal from the national organization of Chinese students in America. In many of the eastern schools funds were raised by direct appeal for pledges.
"At K. U, we want to give you your money worth instead of just asking for gifts. We will do our best to put on an entertainment which will be worth 35e less as an entertainment," said Mr. Chiang.
Honey Takes Issue With the Groundhog
The groundhog gave Mount Oread the wrong steer, if the figures of pork and beef may be so mixed.
the wrong steel, if the shares of pork and beef may be so mixed.
“Honey,” general caretaker of Meck Field returned from his work hibernation on January 14, the groundhole did, and the remained out. He says the spring is just the same as here, that winter is over and nothing but good weather will be seen on Mount Oread this spring, in spite of porcupine tribe’s
Honey has an infallible system of predicting the weather for each month. The index of each month's weather, he avers and declares is the weather in the day of January or the weather of the month in the calendar. Thus, the first day of January would typify the weather for the rest of the month, the second day of January would be the "indicator" of the second month, on the twelfth of January indicating an average of the weather for December.
"Sho 'I'm right,' Honey said as he ambled on his trip of exploration over the campus Saturday. "Do's why the folks all call me honey."

The Burial Ground of Early Day Heroes Is Going to Ruin; Graves Remindful of Frontier Tragedies
On an elevation of a rolling prairie a m lie southwest of town, one of the most hallowed marks near Lawrence s falling to decay. It is a burial ground of rhose who gave their lives in the early settlement of Kanaa.
of the seventy-eight graves still representer in the old cemetery, on at least one-third of them the gravestones have been cracked or broken either by Kansas winds or the animals which have been allowed to pasture there. The graves include those of early pioneers, Civil War soldiers and men killed during the Quantrill raid.
Kansas and Lawrence are proud of the sturdy settlers who, in coming to this territory, braved not only the ordinary dangers of a new and unsettled land, but the terrachelous bushwhackers and dangerous pro-slavery ruins who infested their homes and remain in the old cemetery, representing the early heartaches in the little settlement on the Kaw.
The first grave in the little cemetery was dug in August, 1885—that of a year-old baby. One of the best preserves graves is that of a German child. The inscription is written in German on the substantial tombstone which is surrounded by a neat iron railing.
Many other stones show dates in the winter of 1855-1856, telling the

In memory of those who fell in the Civil War, there are a few separate graves of soldiers. On approaching the cemetery, one notices immediately a tall monument on which bears this inscription: "To the Unknown Dead Union Soldiers of the Civil War." There are also three rows which have excited curiosity among of stones almost identical to townspread stones that who have buried old cemetery. Each of the stones bears the name of some memb of the Thirteenth Wisconsin Infantry. No dates are given and there are no facts to let the visitors know whether these men fell in battle.

Another is marked "Far from Home," and in those three wards a volume of history is wiped. Many of the stones are often, some have fallen over and are practically embedded in the ground and some are covered with sand and weeds.
