University to Plant No Beans and Feed No Cattle This Summer
Campus War Garden And Grazing Privileges Lost Money Last Year
There probably will be no campus war garden this spring and summer, as last year, said John Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds today. Last summer the University patriotically planted four acres in the northwest corner of the campus to beans and corn.
"The beans flourished and produced abundantly last year," said Mr. Shen, "but a good part of the crop went to waste. The carving factory was busy with peas at the time the University beans matured and consequently couldn't take care of the comparatively small crop of beans. The home economics department had neither the help nor the money to can the beans.
"The corn made only a short crop. The ground is near a hilltop and apparently was too high and otherwise unsuited to such cropping. The idea of a University war garden is hard to achieve but it is sufficiently well to justify it at the present high price of labor and other considerations.
"The University last year also paturated cows on the campus, as a part of 'doing its bit.' But that, too, proved expensive. It is very difficult to get competent men to herd the cattle, because of the shortage of labor, and the cattle must be herded to keep them safe. Like the war garden, it was a splendid idea, but it didn't prove economical."

K. U. Companies Drill With Bombless Bombs
Same Idea in Casting Used As In the Familiar Quoits Game
The military drill companies of the University have begun practice drills with bombless bombs. The dummy bombs are shaped the same and weigh the same as the French FI, or defensive bomb. They weigh about 1½ pounds and are long, shape them like a barrel, with quite round ends.
The men in practice are stationed in numbered squares marked on the ground. Ten yards away are other squares with corresponding numbers. The company is divided into halves and part take the squares on one side and the remainder station themselves in the squares on the other side. Each man is given two bombs, and at the command "cast" throws the bomb overhand at the square in front of him. The man in the opposite square marks the score. If the one who throws the bomb hits the post in the center of the square he scores a bull-scye, otherwise the place where the bomb hits is scored by the clock method. The side of the square farthest from the score is designated as 12 o'clock, the side nearest him is 6, the rest of the scores go in clockwise fashion.
In real practice the FI bomb has an exploding radius of approximately 220 yards. Soldiers of the grenade squad are taught that if through their carelessness in handling a grenade the lives of the rest of are架 are endangered they must sacrifice their own lives.
In throwing the bomb it is grasped in the right hand with the fore-finger pressing a knob, which on a real bomb is the lever that fires the Grenade. When the command "reads" is given the men balance on the toes of both hands and hold the ballpointing in the direction the bomb is to be thrown. At the command "cast" the right arm is brought over the head in an overhand swing.

A 100 per cent meatless, wheatless, eatless banquet was served by Kappa Phi at the University of Kansas Y. W. C. A. this week to its fifty-seven new members and to the older members of the institution by inviting the institution of the candidates.
Out-Hooverizing Hoover Was Scheme of Banquet
The tables were decorated and there were place cards and all that goes with a banquet, except there was nothing to eat. The money that had been assessed the members for the banquet was sent to France for war and then returned to buy food none of the students at the dinner really needed. Kappa Pli is an organization of Methodist women at the University.

The Woman's Student Government Association decided at its regular meeting last night to carry on the campaign for the Permanent Income Amendment begun by the County Club Union among University students and next year. Support of county clubs was also decided upon for a policy.
The necessity of a vigorous campaign among University students and over the state is especially important because the Permanent Income Amendment will be voted upon at the November election.
Definite plans for a campaign will be made at the next meeting of the council at which Miss Agnes Thompson, editor of the Alumni Magazine, will talk on the work already done for the amendment.
