Two Kansas Athletes Compete in Penn Relay Games at Philadelphia
Haddock and Rice, Star Sprinter and High Jumper, Expected to Place in Their Events
By Earline Allen
Marshell Haddock, star spiner, and Carl Rice, star high jump, left Tuesday for Philadelphia where they will compete in the twenty-fourth annual Penn Relay games at Philadelphia today and Saturday. Rice has been clearing the bar at better than six feet in practice here recently and is expected to place in the meet. He placed second in the high jump at the NCAA Championship this year. The event was won by Larsen of Brigham Young University, who broke the record. Rice is entered in the javelin also and is expected to place in it.
Haddock is counted to place towards the first in the pentathlon, a feature of the events today at the meet. He must place in five events in order to win this event. He will run in the 100-yard dash and will compete in the discus also.
About twenty-five schools are entered in the meet this week, which is only a slight decrease over last year despite the effect of the war on athletics. The games were first instituted in 1895, as the result of ideas of Frank B. Ellis of Pennsylvania. In the inaugural meet about twelvecolleagues took twelfth schools participated, and the annual event has grown to such importance that it is now regarded as second in size to the Olympic games.
Exact Date Not Set—Tie Game Was Played at Emporia Two Weeks Ago
Normalts to Play Here
On McCook Next Week
(Bv Nadine Blair)
The Jayhawker nine has a game scheduled for next week with the Emporia Normalms on McCook Field and it will decide the 4-4 tie game played at Emporia two weeks ago. The exact date has not yet been decided but it probably will be Tuesday.
Nine more Missouri Valley games besides the one with Emporia are scheduled, three of which will be played with Missouri at Lawrence, on May 23, 24, and 25. Three will be played also with Missouri at Columbia and three with Ames at Ames.
In the first game with the Normalls, Kansas outit the Teachers 8 to 2, batting against Rehm, the Normalls' veteran pitcher, but the wildness of the Kansas pitchers lost the game for the Jayhawkers, who gave ten bases on balls. However, in the last game with Ames the Kansas pitchers seemed to have gained the proper control and Coach Jay Bond expects to keep the Normalites interested next week.
K. U. Stag Comes Off Thursday, May 2, in Gym
Faculty Mandolin Club Wil Give Program in Additon To Other Features
In this land of feminism and her stories written for and by the women of Theta Sigma Phi and women of the University comes a story of a man's stunt night which will exclude all women.
It's the K. U. Stag, next Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock in Robinson gymnasium.
The stag was planned for the Thursday of this week, but there were so many other activities scheduled that the Y. M. C. A. under whose auspices the stunt night is being given changed the date to Thursday, May 2.
But none of the events have been curtied because of the change in date. "in fact," said Dutch Wedel of the University Association, the head at a stout which didn't believe we could have—the Faculty Mandolin club.
"The same program will be given as announced in the Kansan for the Stag a week ago. The band will play; there will be athletic events consisting of wrestling, boxing, and tumbling; cats of twenty cents value will be served and the competition United States competitive drill for a prize of ten dollars which will be converted into a feed at one of the Hill cafes."

about Wisconsin. What do you think about K. U.? (This question is an old standby in the columns of the Kansan—we know because it is a habit with the Cardinal of U. W. also). We refuse to answer this last question because the style sheet says "be careful in the use of superlatives" and we can't express ourselves in just words.
Blanche Penrod, delegate from Delta chapter at Indiana University: "Isn't it lovely to meet so many fine people from all over the central and western part of the United States? I can think of nothing quite so lovely and to say that I like it here at Kampala University as beautifully. To tell the truth I think that next to being a Hoosier I should like to be called a Jayhawker. Who said something about Kansas University? I say so too."
Josephine Piercy from Indiana:
"I'm here because I heard what a fine bunch Kansans were."
Miss Frances Davis, of the Kansas City Post: "When the delegation of Theta Sigma Phi arrives in Kansas City don't be surprised if a brass band is there to meet it. I have been casually mentioning this convention for the past week and all though people in Kansas City don't know what it is, they are terribly interested in finding out."
Miss Vina Lindsay, of the Kansas City Post: "I never come to this town but what I have to wait at least five miles for a street car. Why is that?"
Sylvia Finlay, Kappa Chapter, University of Montana; "The chief difference between the University of Montana and the University of Kansas is that the former is in a valley surrounded by mountains while the latter is on a mountain—almost one anyway—surrounded by valleys. The spirit in both places is the same and both student bodies seem to me to have the same amount of that great American dish. 'pep.' I am glad I came and hope some of you will return my visit and let us show you some Montana hospitality as you have shown me Kansas hospitality."
Margaret Cribs of Minnesota:
"We members of Thetaigma Phi had a 'wiener roast' on the bank of the Mississippi last Tuesday night, and we found it pretty cold. At the time, however, I comforted myself with the thought that the next day I should be out in Kansas aware of warm and warm. Loe and behold, I find Kansas weather much like Minnesota weather. The similarity in climatic conditions makes me feel very much at home."
William Allen White: "I believe that the University needs buildings. The crying need is for buildings now, just as it was in 1886. It is hard to tell whether or not the Permanent Income amendment will pass. I believe a good efficient campaign will get it across. And W. Y. Morgan is a good man to do it. He would have time to do it after the primary in August. I doubt if the war will have any effect on the vote."
Miss Helen Bennet: "What! You say I missed the Minneapolis Symphony. Well! I'm sorry. But the symphony of forty typewriters going at once sounds better to me than any symphony the world ever produced. I've had the best time here that I've had since I quit the newspaper business."
Ruth Pride, Omicron Chapter, Ames:
"There's a long reason why I'm here."

Omicron chapter made enough money on their publication "The Emerald Goose" to give a banquet to Sigma Delta Chi, buy some Liberty Bonds and send two delegates to the national convention of Theta Sigma Phi. The girls just about felt that it was their duty to send the chapter president I think. And it did not benefit what to find out for myself if the famed Kansas hospitality was really a yard wide and dyed in the wool. I'm glad I came because it is even better than I had expected."
Mrs. Cassie Lawrence Bryant (grand treasurer of Theta Sigma Phi); I feel so much at home here at the University of Kansas and I've been trying to find the reason. Now I know. When I went to college in Washington, the plaster on the ceiling of our newsroom used to fall just as it does here in Kansas."

Jessica Becker: "Up at Minnesota we have been taught to envy the University of Kansas its department of journalism. So I am trying to ibibe some of the ideas and carry them back to Minnesota. However, we still have you beat in our Daily ( we think) Yours is four pages and ours is eight!"
"We're in Business for Your Health"
Marguerite Clayton, Gamma, University of Missouri; They deceived me at Missouri. They led me to believe that the Kansas men all had Adam's apples that thrust themselves upon your unsuspecting vision, that they were unloved sights, and that the females of the population wore rubbers and long skirts. But I was sadly misinformed; maybe they never came to see. I came, I saw, and was disillusioned. Why you have nine perfect beauties with mobs of satellites. I'll return to Columbia the best propagandist and publicity agent Kansas ever had despite that proverbial and often mythical twisting of the Tiger's tail.
Velma Carson of K. S. A. C.: "I feel awfully at home in the Kansas annee—I sat down to three typewriters before I could find one that would work. I wish that I could make myself say something startling and famous like many victims I have interviewed have been made to say! But I will remark that I admire and LIKE the University of Kansas. For a Kansas Aggie who is interested in football that is saying a lot."

"Down at Oklahoma we do more work with fewer tools than any School of Journalism in the country," said Fannie Inez Bell, delegate from this morning. "I'm sure I can say nothing to the truth for we haven't hardly any tools."
"But we put out the Oklahoma Daily; Oklahoma Weekly, which is sent to the high school students of the state; University of Oklahoma magazine, the official organ of the Oklahoma alumni, and the University and editor which is sent to all the editors of the state. The typographical dress of these publications is not always without error for how can a good looking 'angel food' emerge from a small rusty pie tin? The students however get thoroughly soured with the Journalism spirit and this is enough. Theta Sigma Phi and Sigma Delta Chi are as thick as the council of deans will admit, and they are pulling together for more journalists, cleaner journalists, and a better brand."

so that they send favorable and encouraging reports to the men in the trenches. There were lodging houses erected at the railroad junctions, where the men on their way home from the front might clean up and rest. The result of this action of the Bad Cross was the success of the Army. They had more successful Cross did what. the few American soldiers, then in France could not do.
The Red Cross has established homes to care for the children of the soldiers. There are many tubercular hospitals for the care of the tubercular refugees and the people who are returned by the train loads from behind the lines in Germany where they have been worked until

Mr. White told of the bombardment of hospitals by the Germans. "Do not think this is done in rage, or in a spirit of revenge," he said. "It is simply scientifically planned. They want the hospitals moved far enough back* from the lines that soldiers cannot be taken there soon enough to save their lives. They don't want to waste shot and powder in fighting the same men twice." "I had rotten luck all the time I was in Europe," continued Mr. White. He left Italy a few days before the big drive there. He spent the night in a large hospital which was a few nights later bombed. He visited another two days after it had been destroyed. He was in London just before an air raid.
"But while the Red Cross is doing a great part in this war, it will not win the war," continued Mr. White. "Nothing but powder and shot, men and blood will ever do that."
The home of Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes
Mr. White described the destruction of the French villages. It is very systematically done, not by drunken or wild soldiers, but under the most carefully authorized orders. First the German officers are allowed to loot the houses, and then the privates. After this the German carpenters come in and take all the wood work available for future use as French walls and furniture. After this the houses are blown up. The villagers are then allowed to return to their ruined homes and many of them are driven at the point of the bayonet to work behind the German lines.
