'Greatest Trackmen For Relays, April 19-20
The greatest array of top trackmen ever assembled in Memorial Stadium will highlight the 1957 Kansas Relays, April 19-20, according to M. E. (Bill) Easton, track coach.
Mr. Easton outlined the Relays program at a meeting of the newly-organized Greater Kansas University Track and Relays Committee which met Saturday in the Studen Union.
The committee has been organized to help increase public interest in track in the Midwest. Even though Kansas has repeatedly produced an outstanding track team, it is felt that interest here does not equal that in other areas.
The committee discussed the possibility of the Relays assuming an atmosphere of "spring homecoming."
No definite plans were made, but a longer downtown parade, inviting more high school students to the 2-day event, corresponding department open houses and greater focus on the individual track stars were mentioned. A relays banquet and a distinctive relays trophy were also discussed.
Among those present at the meeting were: Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, A. C. (Dutch) Lonberg, director of athletics; Coach Easton, Dr. Calvin VanderWerf, professor of chemistry; Dr. William Shoemaker, professor of Romance languages; Dick Wintermote, field secretary of the Alumni Assn.; Dolph Simons Jr., vice president of the Lawrence Journal-World, and Max Falkenstien, radio station WREN, Topeka.

PCC Will Toughen Academic Needs
SAN FRANCISCO—(UP) — The Pacific Coast Conference, apparently ignoring its poor Rose Bowl record, voted Thursday to increase the scholastic requirements for athletes.
The conference fathers, composed of presidents, faculty representatives and athletic directors of the nine member schools, voted to require a "C" grade average for athletes and to increase the number of units they must carry in the off-season.
Additionally the representatives at the winter meeting voted unanimously to uphold penalties already levied against four member schools for permitting excessive financial aid to athletes.
