PUBLISHING BUSINESS LIKE
FARMING SAYS WALKENHORST
Urging that the Missouri Valley Cost Congress now in session at the University of Kansas get down to business, President H. W. Walkenhorst, Kansas City, opened the fifth session this morning in Green Hall.
Printing costs and their treatment by publishers and printers were like managers in management and selection of equipment for pedient handling. The demand upon the printer to know his cost of production thereby insuring stability of business was emphasized and all printers attending were urged to accept it.
The University of Kansas is considered by Mr. Walkenhorst the finest and most wholesome institution he has ever seen or visited. Climbing the hill elevates one to an atmosphere of refinement and culture, which, in his opinion, are ideal for the delegates to the fifth session.
President Walkenhorst outlined the work and stated the purpose of the meetings for today and tomorrow. Improvement of conditions and practices, the adoption and adaptation of new computer printing problems will be the subject treated by the Congress at large and their speakers on the program.
HEALTH COMMITTEE ON SANITARY CONDITIONS
A meeting of the health committee of the University was held Thursday afternoon, in the Gymnasium. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, C. A. Haskins, associate Professor of Civil Engineering, and the time was mainly devoted to a discussion of Dr. James Naismith's plan of securing data on the sanitary conditions of the buildings.
This is a sub-committee, under the general University Health Service, which has been established for the purposes of safeguarding the health of students by the committeeposed of one representative from each of the University buildings. It is their duty to meet once a month and report on the sanitary conditions of the buildings, and to suggest means of improving the other meeting of the committee will be held next Thursday afternoon, May 5.
Annuals Are Two Days Late o Account of European War" Johnson
Send the Daily Kansan home to the folks.
The 1916 Jayahawk will not be out until Thursday morning at 10:15 o'clock, according to a statement by Manager Ross E. Busenbark yesterday afternoon. "The books are ready in Kansas City," Mr. Busenbark said, and they come on sale Tuesday it would have been at a great sacrifice in quality.
"I was in Kansas City last Saturday and the head of the company which has the binding contract told me that he could turn the books out Tuesday but that if he did the binding would be too 'green' to hold, because the volumes would not have enough press, I was offered the incentive of green the book out on time and giving the students an inferior volume, or waiting two days and giving the best that money can buy. I brought one of the new copies over to Lawrence with me and it is evident that the binding is not going to hold. By waiting until Thursday we will turn out a good book in every respect. We will give you it we will be willing to abide by their decision." The program, which was announced in Friday's Kansas for Tuesday will be given in the same way on Thursday morning.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS
HAVE CHAIN-LETTER
A chain-letter is being circulated among the alumni of the electrical engineering class of 1915. Each member receiving the letter adds an enclosure to the description, tells his present occupation, and sends it on to the next alumnus. This letter was forwarded to Elmer J. Burnham, one of the alumni, while he was visiting in Lawrence this week. It had passed through only five hands since his last visit, and has grown to sufficient size to require ten cents postage for delivery. By the time it reaches the fourteenth and last man, Burnham says, it will have developed into a parcel post package. The thirteenth man will have to pay $20.00 to cover the longer the letter the more interesting it is to the reader.

Track Meet, Baseball and Tennis All Come Friday and Saturday
ATHLETES TO BE BUSY K. U. PLACES AT PENN
With a dual track meet, a state high school meet, an interscholastic tennis tournament, and three baseball games, the coming week end promises to be some busy little time in K. U. athletics. And particularly so in the branch of track athletics handled by W. O. Hamilton.
Friday afternoon on McCook Field comes the annual dual struggle with the Nebraska Cornhuskers and despite the continued poor shape of Rodkey, Kansas hopes for a repetition of last year's 82-27 score. Thursday and Friday at Manhattan, Coach McCarty's Jayhawker baseball squad will be given their first competition Missouri Valley Conference competitive reign *oll at Manhattan with the Kansas Aggies. With his pitchers in good condition, a clean sweep of the series with the Farrar is hoped for. Saturday comes a non-conference game with St. Mary's on the Catholics' home ground.
But it is the thirteenth annual high school meet Saturday that will be the big event of the week and the one that will give Manager Hamill fourteen events in each of the three diuretics of the meet it is a monster job that Coach Hamilton and his assistant will have before them in running the meet off in the hours before the game. Last year one hundred and sixty-nine athletes from thirty-seven high schools competed and if an early list of entries counts for anything the number will be two hundred this year. And Syracuse were the winners of the Class A, B and C divisions last year.
Medals for the winners of the first four places of each of the forty-two separate races will be given, making a total of 178 bits of gold, silver and bronze that will be distributed to the team captain and pen to the cups given to the individual winner winners of each class and the school winning in their division.
Along with the state track meet and lasting all day Saturday is the sixth interscholastic tennis tournament. Central and Westport of Kansas City proved the whole show in last year's tourney.

Treweeke Ties for Third—Reber Loses by Three Inches
After journeying half way across the continent to enter the Penn Games in Philadelphia on Saturday, Richard Treweke put K. U. on the field in the high jump. And placed in the high jump. His leap was five feet, eleven inches, which is two inches lower than the K. U. record which he established this spring. But it was sufficient to give him a share of third place in the big eastern meet.
Treweeke has been unable to work out regularly on McCook Field this spring owing to the disgreeable weather which made high jumping easier than it was. But Coach Hamilton knew his high jump could do and never hesitated to send him against the best jumpers of the east.
The other Kansan entrant was Captain Bonnie Reber, who entered the shot put and discus throw. But Reber was too small. At least he was small when placed beside Arlie Mucks and some of the other giants were all only beaten out of a place in the shot put inches and will make up for it when he meets the other weight men of the Valley in Columbia, May 27.
The two Kansas athletes have not returned to Lawrence yet as they took this opportunity to explore the eastern part of the U. S.
K. U. DEBATING SOCIETY
CLOSES YEAR WITH FEED
The K. U. Debating Society closed the year's work Thursday evening with a hike by its members to Cameron's Bluff where a campfire feed of potatoes, pickles, apples, coffee and stores served. Away along towards the greater hours of the night, the party seated around the smouldering embers told the last story, made new the resolve to make next year's work more enjoyable than the past, and then wended their way towards the lights and the Hill.
M. N. Read, who won his "K" this year as a member of the winning team against the University of Colorado, as president of the society will launch the work of the coming year with renewed energy. The aim will be not only to stimulate interest in general in debate but also to furnish men qualified to represent K. U. on the varsity teams.
