Ecological Society Wants Flower Reservations
In an effort to further preserve the natural flora of the different regions of the United States, the Ecological Society of America is attempting to have certain definite tracts of land set aside as reservations on which the natural flora of the country will be allowed to flourish.
Dr. Grace Charles of the department of botany, has received a letter from the Society asking her about what effort has already been made in Kansas to preserve the natural vegetation and what districts she would recommend that would be profitable to set aside as special reservations.
Doctor Charles has picked out several places she thinks ought to be set aside so the natural vegetation will not be destroyed. There is a tract of about sixty acres on Turkey Creek five miles east of town which contains many varieties of wild flowers, trees and shrubs which are of botanical value. The Lake View Buff region offers oak trees and wild flowers and although it is now a private park, Doctor Charles would like to see it made into a public reservation so that its preservation would be certain.
Such a large per cent of the land in the United States and especially Kansas, has been thoroughly cultivated since the 1800s. Plantation has been destroyed. In Europe it is almost impossible for botanists to find locations where the natural flora has been fully preserved because of comprehensive study can be made of it.
The college professors and instructors at the University of Illinois have united in forming a union called "Local 1," and have applied for admission to the American Federation of Labor. This is the first attempt at the formation of a labor union among college teachers.
That Northwestern women are better students than the men, and that the average grades of the fraternity men are higher than those of nonfraternity men living in campus dormitories in shown by statistics compiled at the Northwestern University from the reports of last term.
Class supremacy at the University of Michigan is decided by tug-of-war contests instead of by class fights. The contest takes place beside the river and in previous years it has one person leading the other into the river. The abnormal height of the river prevents this feature taking place this year.
The "Michigan Daily" of Ann Arbor quotes the Daily Kansas on our prospective honor system. It is also under discussion there.
Latest Footwear Will Feature Fete
Have you seen the latest display of footwear? Oh, yes, it has the French heel and the Dutch leather, but the sad part is that no damsel in K. U. will be able to wear it, regardless of how large her pocketbook or how small she is. You will be fully at the last act of the Mate Fete Satarday afternoon and find out. Even Cinderella's slipper could not have compared with this shoe.
What is your idea of little Bo Peep,
little Boy Blue, Humpy Dumpy, and Peter-Peter. Come and see Adelaide Steger's idea of them as she has worked them out in the dances she has composed to Prof. Arthur Neufeld's musical for almost four weeks in these dances.
Did you ever think of little Bo Peep three weeks? Who is the May Queen?
Saturday will disclose the secret.
Syracuse University will hold a May Day breakfast outdoors on the campus and to make the event successful all the boarding clubs and other organizations will not serve any breakfast to their boarders. The menu is to be "hot dog's" coffee and buns, cereal and strawberries.
At the University of Michigan, some original names are used to designate the dances and plays put on yiy the school. The Freshman dance is called the "Freshman Step," and the "Freshman Bounce." The Freshman lunch is an annual affair and is called the "Freshman Spread."
Cornell's Junior Prom is a formal affair and the admission is $8.00. There are only a certain number of guests attending on a week before the affair is staged.
Our Mount Oread is similar to Marquette University's "the Hilltop." The school is located at Milwaukee, where the university paper is the "Marquette Tribune."
Varsity Tennis Players to Start Practice Soon
Varsity tennis players will be out for the first practice of the season as soon as the ground is dry enough to play. The Valley schools are playing little tennis this spring and tours will be scarce. However, the K. U. racquet wielders will meet the Oklahomaans in a tourney if it can be done.
Kansas has several good tennis men this spring and should the schools decide to play tennis, will have things their own way. Kenneth Uhls, one of the best amateur players in the west, is still eligible for Varsity competition. He was captain of the team last year. Matthews, a letter man last year, is in school with the team. Cowgill, a letter man two years ago, is back at the University. With these three old men and the usual younger crop of players the K.U. men will have a chassy队.
First Defeat of Season to Phi Kappas Wednesday
The A. T. O.'s administered the first defeat that the Phil Kappas have received in baseball this season Wednesday, slamming Carlin, on the ground for the Phil Kappas for three hits, taking advantage of the outspoken five players the only ones in the game, during the sixth frame. Both pitchers performed well, but Carlin blew up in the sixth, and the game was lost for the Phil Kappas. Lennox the A. T. O. team had 2 baggers that the A. T. O. team won the point of the game.
