UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
KANSAS SHOULD HAVE A COLORED REGIMENT
James King, Veteran of Spanish-
American War, Says His Race
Is Ready to Fight
"We ought to have a colored regiment from Kansas and from every state in the Union. Our troops in Mexico showed we could fight."
So spoke James King, the tall colored janitor of Fraser Hall, who saw six months of real service in Cuba during the Spanish-American war.
"Yessir," emphasized the genial junior, "You could order a regiment of colored soldiers to close the gates you'd do it. That's how brave they are."
Caution is Mr. King's middle name,
"Who are you? A newspaper reporter?"
he asked when approached.
"No shi, I don't want my name in the
paper," he said. But when told that no harm was meant, he soon swung into tales of the "hot times"
of '98.
"We landed in Cuba and went into camp at San Luis, near Santiago, about the time Teddy and his Rough Riders left that district. No, I wouldn't say it got too hot for Teddy. We were mostly on guard duty. We had a few skirmishes, but no real big battle."
Asked if he had ever killed a Spaniard, the jannier-soldier said: "I shot at 'em a few times, but I'm not saying I killed any.
"I'm a little over age now." The janitor was now sweeping the sawdust into rows of breastworks and more sombre mounds. "I was twenty then, and young and spry. That was nineteen years ago," she said, if the country needs me, after the young fellows have gone, I'm willing to go."
And the janitor kept on sweeping.

MAY CHANGE CAMPUS INTO TRUCK GARDEN
Chancellor Strong Has Plan to Farm Unused Parts of Campus
Campus
The "Campus Serviceable" will supplement the "Campus Beautiful" if the plans Chancellor Strong is considering are carried out. More than fifty of the 160 acres of the campus are available for cropping where potatoes and other garden truck may be planted.
the time to save food is before the bottom of the flour barrel is reached," said Doctor Strong this morning, "The University has experts in foods and is eager to offer services to the country. The woman in the kitchen and man behind the plow are just as important to the country, if not more so, because she was a third recruit. It is difficult for rich, well-fed Kansas to realize the need of economizing now, but Kansas must realize it.
"No one knows where this war will lead. Our Civil War was to have lasted only a few months, as every one believed when it began. When a country goes to war, we need more and more until all its resources are required. I hope we will not be drawn in to such a terrible extent, but we are in and we cannot tell how far we may have to go. Waste now may cripple us badly because it's why we are thinking of planting plantains on the University campus."
The Chancellor has written to the Secretary of Agriculture and to Governor Capper offering the services of the University and the University of Ottawa of increasing and conserving the food supply as well as in active military work.
