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 importance. The area near Bonner Springs is rich in white 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. The plantation has been destroyed. In Europe it is almost impossible for botanists to find locations where the natural flora has been fully preserved or 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 been the focus of debate, 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 Kansan 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 her purse can fit. You fall at the last act of the May Fete Saturday 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, Humpty Dumpty,
Peter-Peter. Come and see Adelaide
Steger's idea of them as she has
worked them out in the dances she has
competed to Prof. Arthur Nevi's music.
She then been drilling the girls
and making a movie. Did you
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" coffe and buns, cereal and strawberries.
At the University of Michigan, some original names are used to designate the dances and plays put on by the school. The Freshman dance is called the "Freshman Step," and the Dance's "Villie" is the second 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 positions, so there is usually 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 college paper is the "Margaret Tribune."
Varsity tennis players will be out for the first practice of the season as soon as the ground is dry enough to permit play according to W. O. Hamilton. The Valley schools are playing little tennis this spring and tourneys will be scarce. However, the K. U. raquet wielders will meet the Oklahomaans in a tourney if it can be scheduled.
Varsity Tennis Players to Start Practice Soon
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. He matters, a Matthew, is still in school and will be out for 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 classy team.
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 mound for the Phil Kappas for three hits, taking advantage of two errors, and making five scores, 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 Phi Kappas. Lenski, pitcher for the A. T. O. team got a 2-bagger that was the turning point of the game.
The score:
