So it is doing the set it can with makeshifts. In her dress made the heavy oil wheels this winter, we being mended. The great hole by the barracks and other debris have got removed from the Golf Links. Her flower beds have been fixed up d will soon add to the beauty of the mps.
More than Forty Kinds of Trees on the Campus
An important feature that makes the campus as beautiful as it is today is the abundance of fine large trees that meet the eye from Sponer Library to Marvyn Hall. To the casual observer, a great variety of trees exists; but more than different kinds of trees grow on the campus.
The wooded clusters back of the Chemistry and Administration buildings, known as Marvin Grove, took its name from James Marvin, third Chancellor of the University, who set out all the first trees in the grove with the assistance of his engineering classes in '77 and '78. From the beginning, he sprung up many others, which have made the grove a miniature forest.
The large Cottonwood tree between Fraserland and Snow Hills was set out about 1880. Here are some of the different varieties on the Hill at the top of the hill; most common, hackberry, mulberry, hard and soft maple, sycamore, black and honey locust, wild crab, osage orange, brickthorn, choke cherry, magnolia, Japan varnish, hop horn, various hard varieties of pine and cedar trees.

K. U. FOLLIES PLAY TO LARGE AUDIENCE
Large Program is Heard by Capacity House in Gymnasium Tuesday Night
is Best Feature
Scenery
Too many Acts and Too Long Intervals Were Main Draw-Points
Futuristic scenery, designed am. executed by two K. U. students, Dudson Calhoun and Richard Malahy, played in a capacity house of more than 2,000 in Robinson gymnastics Tuesday night. Clever amateur sets, and good music added to the enchanting of those who saw the performance.
The specialty which drew the most applause was put on by Dorothea Engel and Ray Gafney as a part of "The Old Fashioned Garden" chorus number with Nadine Cox as the lead. The choirs are the Fallies of 1920* with Frank Baldwin as the lead also made a big hit with the audience. The lack of encores, necessitated by the number of acts, was regretted by many of these present, especially in "The Old Girl" by Annah Jane and "Girls" "Chinese Poppy Land" with Bernie Ackerman in an interpretive dance, and "Twilight Lane" a "spooning" scene, alleged to be char acteristic of college, and "College Days" the finale, were rather out of the amusement-craving audience.
The performance was rather long drawn out necessitated by changes of scenery, but speciality skits and dialogues lived the pauses.
Other acts filled up the changes of scenery with success. "Mystery" was a clever musical fantasy with a villain, who was proved to be Mercedes Sullivan, good acting and fair dancing. A quartet with real voices was discovered in Messina, Chester, Darby, Williams, Chelsea, Carnegie, Nothing too Fine For the Finest."
"The Negro Vamps" was presented by Jo and Jewell Dagherty, with Frank Baldwin and Burt Wheeler and showed indication of a professional touch. The Musical Burglary" with Martin Tempelman and Franklin Wright was well received, their "Oh, Mother, I'm Wild!" getting a good hand.
"White Wings" with Paul White and Reid Pinkston, "UpTown Stuff" by Edward Jackson and Clyde Shiffler, and "Jew-sy Sat" by Nimon Slane and Charles Britt were fair friends. The professor son gave a monologue on some of the University characters, and Dorothe Engle read a clever child's poem in unconventional attire. Some of the Jokes were a trifle
Some of the Jokes were a trifle risque and out of taste. The choruses were good for amateurs.
Music was supplied by Schofat and four pieces. The chorus directors were Ray Gafney and Hames McNaught. The Follies committee from the Y. W. A. A. was composed of members of the gartner, Frank Baldwin, Norma McFadden, Glossie Black Burn, Clyde Farnsworth, and Henry McCurdy.
Five McDowell Members To go to N. H. Meeting

Banker Won't Lend Money For Flivvers
"Students had better seek the harvest fields this summer than the car-selling game," was the warning issued on Monday in the day." The attitude of the bankers, he continued, "is having a very detrimental effect on our business. They are refusing to loan money for automobiles on time or on payments."
This was the stand taken by Kansas City financiers a few weeks ago and is spreading rapidly among the conservative bankers of Kansas. These bankers declare that the motor car is a luxury and that the amount of credit involved in the purchase of cars represents a tremendous strain upon the credit situation of the country and deprives essential industries with investment capital when out paying abnormally high interest rates.
Bankers declare that if the movement becomes general throughout the country that it will have its effect in helping lower the cost of living by promoting thrift and doing away with luxuries.
Plain Tales From The Hill
"I can't recognize a single chorus girl," said M. L. Peek on the bald head rowed at the K. U. Follies.
"You might try looking at them faces," returned his neighbor. After which M. L. had nothing to say.
Arthur Jerege Boynton has advised his class in Financial History of the U. S. to read all of the U. S. census reports since 1790 before the end of the semester. One member of the class is consulting himself by saying that there were worse works since there are only a few more than thirty volumes in the collection.
DAILY BULLETIN: — The condition of Mr. Luther H. Hangen, Pal Tales Editor and Editor of the 1920 Jayhawk, who is absent on Jayhawk business in Jefferson City, remains unchanged according to a report at the Jayhawk office this week. The Pal Tales column still suffers.
Spring Musings
The atmosphere is full of cheer fresh rain is in the cricks. The balmy spring and everything is full of politics. The merry sun is having fun by coming unexpected; he peeks his face right through the face of clouds and is respected. The students sleep while profs they peep o'er horn imprinted specks and yawn, and out-door seems full of dreams and dazzles laze everything. So what with spring and everything to politics to fever and nature inconsistent, Gay Deceider, how can we be contentedly the energetic crew, which we are cracked up to be, but never yet we knew.
Another Resignation
Jim: "I don't like Chancellor cigars they're too Strong."
Jack: "Well to be Frank with you
I don't either."

MEMORIAL UNDECIDED
Seniors Will Make Final Choice on Memorial at Tuesday Meeting
"The suggestion of a reel of moving picture to commemorate the Karnival and, commencement exercises of the class of 1920, met with considerable disaffavor among some of the members of the senior class and the faculty. "In 1924, the teacher," said George A. Muntgomery, giving a review of all the memorial plans that the committee had considered. Among the suggestions were "clock for Blake Hall, the mountine of the statue of the Kansas pioneer at the campus," and placing of an out-door drinking fountain somewhere on the campus.
The suggestions will be considered by the seniors, and the memorial question decided at the next meeting. At this meeting the treasurer will bring a report of the financial condition of the class, and will inform the members of the extent of the re-evaluation that are available for the memorial.
