Kansan Cub, Exploring, Find
Out All About University
Telephone Office
Hist! A Kansan Cub has made a valuable discovery!
A few days ago while on a still hunt for some article of news the Cub happened to find the Kansas University central office.
This important link in the University is located in the rear of the Department of Weights and Measures in the basement of Fraser Hall. The exchange is for Bell phones only and connects a hundred and fifty-nine phones on the hill with six trunk lines to the city exchange.
The exchange is kept busy from eight in the morning until six in the evening on school days; on Saturdays an hour is clipped from each end of this schedule. The office is never open on Sunday.
At nights and when the operator is not at the board there is one phone in each building, besides the phones in the Chancellor's office and the Kansan, which are kept in connexion down-town office. This arrangement is on the other side of the night waterman in case of fires.
The switch board is operated by
by Miss Grace Hay, who has been the
K. U. operator for three years.
Harry Doty assists her on the board
from one o'clock to two and from
five to six o'clock.
When asked at what time the phones were most in use Miss Mays said, "from 10 o'clock to 12 I say 'Hello' more than twice as many times as I ever do the entire rest of the day. Doty says his greatest rush comes from one till two o'clock.
The Bell company has found it very profitable to keep up the board in Fraser rather than run the hundred and fifty-nine phones off the hill to the down town office. The University has also found the exchange exceedingly profitable as a time saver.
When the new Administration building is finished the board will be moved to a room on the first floor and about fifty phones will be added to its list. The present board has room for a hundred and fifty more phones and some day the telephone company expects the University to use all of them which will necessitate employing another operator.

HOW TO MAKE DATES
Juniors Wondering About Prom Have Three Ways to Get
a Partner
"Whoso chooseth me will get all he deserves" is the consolation extended by the Junior Prom committee on dates to the bashful junior. The prom is April 4, you remember Gwendolyn.
CLARENCE, in case he hasn't the courage to make his own date, will be forced to hand his name and the required "three-fifty" to a member of the men's Prom committee who in a joint session with the representatives of fair Alice, laughing Allegra and Edith with golden hair will scan the line-up and acquaint Claremont with his partner to the Prom.
The committee's advice to ARCHIBALD is to "make your date and make it early so as to give her time to think about breaking it."
As for PERCIVAL—take heart Percy, even if you never danced a lick. Perhaps a hint about cabs and American Beauties will not be

(Continued from page 1.)
The quarter-mile was the race that upset the Kansas dope on the meet. Huttsell and Knobel, the Missourians, got the lead in this event and were never headed. Black showed surprisingly well in this race and put up a strong race with Knobel for second place, but failed to beat him around the turns when Knobel glued himself to the inside of the course.

10TH CONFERENCE THE BEST EVER--JOHNSTON
High School teachers Meeting Last Week Pronounced a
Success
That the Tenth Annual High School Conference held at the University last Friday and Saturday was the most successful ever in attendance, effective of program and representative character of those attending are concerned, was the decision of Dean Johnston of the School of Education this morning.
Approximately seventy schools and two hundred and fifty school men and women were here, in addition to a large representation of high school students at the basket-ball tournament.
The addresses given by Professor Henderson of Texas and Professor Coulter of Chicago were particularly effective. Strong papers were given by representatives of the state department of education, Superintendent Ross and assistant Superintendent Whitmore. Each clearly stated the critical issues for the next few years in the development of public schools. Miss Alice Inkeepe of Cedar Rapids, Ia., gave an interesting demonstration of the use of the phonograph in the school.
At the conference luncheon given each year by the University to the visiting teachers Chancellor Strong presided and stated that the University was to be congratulated on the work of the present new board of recess.
Professor Henderson spoke of the fact that Kansas with several other states was setting a fine precedent by the cooperation and coordination with all institutions of higher learning in the state and that this movement is merely begun in the country as a whole.
The School of Education is now at work upon plans for the conference of schoolmen to be held here the first week in July when Dr. Henry Suzallo of Columbia University conducts the conference for a week. A class meeting will be held in attendance not only the school superintendents and principals, but representative members of school boards throughout the state.

OLD TIMERS vs. VARSITY
Has-Beens Try to Come Back and Don't, 29 to 16.
In a game that showed just how nearly old-timers can come back the K. U. Varsity defeated the K. U. A varsity afternoon by the scorrs of 29 to 16.
The Varsity used its regular lineup, Red Brown getting back into the game. The All-stars had Phog Allen and Ben Young, old time K U. stars, and Listen at center, Hoover at right guard and Counts at left from Baker. Van den Vries an old K U. forward played opposite Dunnige.
The game was more closely contested than the score would indicate the Varsity playing in mid-season form while the All-Stars were pretty badly wined at the close. A large crowd watched the game.
Weaver, the Cherry Picker starred for the Varsity, hooking six pretty goals, when Liston, his opponent at center, Allen, and Van der Vries played well for the veterans. The feature of the game was Allen's quarter-back run for the All-Stars, when he missed Referee Hamilton's decision. Great cheers accompanied his progress.
