Goldsmith Condemnns Wholesale Littering of Campus With Paper and Trash
ALL SHOULD CO-OPERATE
Faculty, Organizations, and Students Must Work Together
The Grounds Committee met yesterday to discuss plans of beautifying the campus suggested by the men's student council. No action was taken on the suggestions by the committee because of lack of money. C. H. Pollard represented the Student Council at the meeting.
"The students and the University authorities," said Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, secretary of the Grounds Committee, in speaking of campus beautification, "should help each other. Instead, they are now pushing each other down. The students want the authorities to beautify the campus. The authorities ask the students not to destroy property wantonly or throw papers and tobacco cans upon the campus.
REPAIRING INSTEAD OF BEAUTIFYING
"Money and labor that is spent in replacing and repairing destroyed pavement, turning a beautiful the campus. We are an instance where students placed a chair on a table and knocked it off with another one. Before they could be stopped, they had broken five chairs.
"Now, when election time comes, the campus will be strewn with posters of our victory signs with them. Men will have to go around the campus picking up these pieces of paper when they might be devoting their time to planting a tree
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 18, 1916.
"MEMORIALS USELESS"
"There are several student organizations," he continues, "who want to beautify the campus but the main trouble with them is that when they have done something they want to be able to do, it looks like a job." Studentookies are generally useless. Take the stone bench. The only good thing about that is that it shows class spirit. This spirit can be shown as well by planting a tree. Let them tack a sign on it if they want to. It need not be planted when the class is ready to leave for the tree. You can use it in an plant it about the first of April. Then the students can hold a big celebration and care for the tree.
POCKET KNIFE VS. DANDELIONS
"We can get rid of the dandelions if each man would take a pocket knife, dig up by the roots a half dozen or so, work them, and burn them each day. The workers would not have to do this.
"Waste paper cans, not the galvanized iron kind, but something that appeals to the artistic tastes of an individual might be placed along the campus. Students could then throw their waste paper, empty tobacco cans, paper towels, or aluminum cups no harder for one to keep these things until he comes to a waste paper can and then drop them into it than to throw them upon the campus.
"The state is now spending between $2,500 and $3,000 a year on cutting the grass and picking up trash only. That means that an average of one dollar a student is now being paid each day for the carrying on of this work."
REPRIMING YOUR COMRADE "It is all in the attitude the students take whether campus beautification succeeds. If each student would take it upon himself to reprimand a student for using waste of paper or a tobacco can or when he tramps out the grass, the University of Kansas could have as beautiful a campus as any school in the United States.
The Daily Kansan wishes to correct a statement made in last night's Kansan, concerning the possible visit of Billy Sunny and his wife. But he was positively coming, but it is not absolutely certain that he will. Prof. Merle Thorpe is in communication with Mr. Sunday's manager, who promises that the evangelist will come if a date can be arranged to agree that Kansas City engagements.
Sunday's Visit Not Certain
"If he comes," said Professor Thorpe, "it will be some time the first week in May, but the date hasn't been set yet."

Prof. Ava Milam Tells How Home Economics Flourished in Oregon
Prof. Ava M. Milam, who demonstrated the practicability of college training for home-aking at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition last year, is a guest of the department of home economics today and tomorrow. She is head of the department of economics at the Oregon Agricultural College.
"A left-over corner in the Oregon building was turned over to the department for a lunch room at the supporter's office of the Oregon commissioners," said Miss Milam.
SENIOR WOMEN WERE MANAGERS
"The plan worked out so that two senior women specializing in institutional management were chosen, one female and one male, to storeroom, and the preparation of food—she also made menus and did the ordering; the other was in charge of the dining rooms, was responsible for the service, and had charge of the family accounts and laundry. Forty-eight other girls who received college degrees were divided into groups of seven. The change of one-half of each group of students came every three weeks, which made it possible always to have three or four students with three weeks' experience to work with the new girls coming in. During the on-occasion training, the mastic science department served in the capacity of adviser, each instructor remaining on duty one month.
ENTERTAINED THE COMMISSIONER3
"The seven students prepared and served breakfast and dinner to guests numbering from 35 to 40. The students also prepared and served luncheon for eighty. It was the desire of the department to make it an exhibit and to bring the work before as many people as possible.
"All the work including the buying, planning, preparing and serving of these three meals, was done by the college women.
"Cheese souffle and Parker-house rolls gained great fame at the Oregon Building. Business men from Oakland came as regular guests for the summer when from become so popular that by 12:0' o'clock no lunchmen tickets were available."
PAID ITS OWN EXPENSES
AUTHORIZATION EXPENSE.
So much of the instructor's time at luncheon seemed to be commanded in telling how to make the favorite dish that the department had recipes printed and gave them to the guests when requested.
Miss Milaan explained that the meals served paid the monthly bills of the department, averaging; $300.00 transportation of students and instructors; $158.55, laundry; $150.00, salaries; $50.00 gas, water and light; $60.00, food; $160.00 vegetables and fruit; $492.47, groceries; $119.90, milk and cream, but still left a surplus averaging $375.00 a month.

STUDENTS TO EXPLORE
Kansas Biological Survey Party Will Have Headquarters at Pratt, Kansas
Plans for the annual expedition of the Kansas Biological Survey were made public today by B. M. Allen, proxies in zoology at the University of Kansas.
The party making the investigation will as usual be composed of University students who this year will make their headquarters near Pratt, Kauai. The party will be the studying of fish parasites in the state fish hatchery at Pratt.
Sigma Delta Chi, journalism fraternity will give a smoke on Wednesday
The survey will include investigation regarding other animals. Earl O'Roke, a graduate student and instructor in the department of zoology, will head the expedition. He will be accompanied by four other students. He will also make special investigation of lizards and turtles. Another member of the party will pay special attention to field mice and pocket gophers, with the hope of finding some methods of eradication. According to Dr. Allen, as much emphasis as possible is placed on the use of a survey. The specific purpose of the survey is to achieve the classification of all animal life in Kansas.
The five students on the trip during the coming summer will camp out-of-doors for eight or nine weeks. They do not receive pay for their services and may be absent from school hours. Although Pratt will be the location of the camp, the members of the party will cover much of the day by the use of motorcycles and horses.
One third of the students enrolled at the University of Washington are self supporting.
Fred Rodkey, star Kansas track man will run for the K. U. colors in the Drake relay games Saturday, Coach W. O. Hamilton said this morning. Tryouts for places on the team are being held at Des Moines, are being held this afternoon. The weakened arch on Rodkey's foot is improving steadily and Coach Hamilton does not think it will hurt for the speedy Jayhawk to run in one race
CAMP FOR NINE WEEKS
Harold Kirchner, '19 College, spent Saturday and Sunday in Burlingame visiting friends. He calls it the land of "hope, peace and prosperity" on account of a certain "friend" living there.
Last year the state biological survey party was located in southeastern Kansas where an excellent collection of birds and mammals was secured.

Engineers Plan to Have Bi Events for Their Annual Holiday April 28
NOTHING FOR OUR LAWS
Track Meet Will be This Year's Headliner
Engineers' Day with its parade, track meet and baseball games will be held April 28 and it promises to be the largest event of the school year. The flannel shirted boys were given permission by the University Senate to keep account of having an Engineering Day; Day and Engineering will be excused from all school work, and allowed to make the best of their holiday.
AT LEAST TWENTY FLOATS IN PARADE
The parade this year will excel all of the past, having at least twenty floats, since each upper class of the various departments of the School of Engineering carries a carriage of one sort or another. The freshmen of the whole school will be represented by one float. It is rumored that there will be no float for the benefit of the laws this year. The parade will start at Marvin Hall at twelve o'clock, led by the Engineers' band and will take the usual route down Mission Street, to at 7th street to the business district.
NEW FEATURE FOR THIS YEAR
The track meet this year will be one of the features of the Engineers' Day, and an event to pick the winner. The minors won last year but one or two other departments claim they have a dark house team this year and intend to spring a surprise. Medals will be given for first, second and third places in all events. After the meet there will be a basketball tournament between the different departments of the School of Engineering.
The Engineers' dance which is usually held on Engineers' Day will begin on May 5 this year because the Soffthore Hop is scheduled for April 28.

Meets Classes Today After Two Weeks Spent in Missouri and Louisiana
Dean P. F. Walker, of the School of Engineering, was back at his desk in Marvin Hall this morning after a two weeks' absence on business in eastern Iowa and then a trip in Kansas included stops at Iola and Pittsburgh where Dean Walker addressed the Commercial Clubs on industrial development and the parts played in the development of the comunity by the manufacturing industries.
VISITED TANNERIES
In St. Louis, Dean Walker visited a number of tanneries where leather is prepared for every purpose imaginable. During his visit to these plants he took a number of valuable notes and made sketches and plans. Dean Walker believes that there is a great future for the tanning industry in Kansas, and this trip will provide him with thoroughly conditions surrounding that industry.
The latter part of the last week was spent at the spring session of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, which convened Wednesday in New Orleans. The sessions were given over to the discussions of the means of industrial preparedness that is being so strongly advocated by the engineers. This is an important time means of taking the proposed survey and the ways in which this society might aid in the national work, were discussed.

The ten cases of birds prepared by Mr. C. D. Dunker, curator of Dyche Museum, to be sent out to the schools of the state at their expense, have proved inadequate to meet the demand. Many requests for cases have come in that cannot be satisfied from the limited number now available.
Mining Jobs Thick There
Prospects of earning four to five dollars a day in the mines in Arizona have brought several K. U. men to think of turning westward for their summer's employment. Prof. A. C. Terrill, of the department of mining engineering, has received a letter from the school of mines at the University of Arizona which states that there are more positions there for summer than in many other technology than are filled every summer. There is also work for much unskilled labor each summer, according to Prof. Terrill.
The American Chemical Society which is holding a meeting this week at the University of Illinois, Champaign, will meet next week at Lawrence and Kansas City, according to a message received by Chancellor Strong from Prof. E. H. Bailey, who is attending the meeting at Champaign.
IT'S SHAKESPEARE DAY
Herbert Clark Will Begin Tercentenary Tomorrow With Address in Fraser
ANNIVERSARY APRIL 23
Celebrations Are Had Before and After This Date
The real celebration of the Shakespeare Tercentenary will begin at the University with an address by Professor George Herbert Clark tomorrow at 4:30 o'clock. The anniversary of the death of Shakespeare is announced that day of the month, but the date is being remembered in exhibitions both preceding and following that date. The addresses to be given here at the University in honor of this occasion are but a part of an organized movement to have similar lectures given at every university in this country. In the large cities the celebration will take on various forms. It will be a great paneget and similar exhibitions are scheduled for other places.
The exhibit in the hall of Spooner Library is but one of the ways by which the remembrance of the great playwright is indicated. The articles on show here are but reproductions of the originals but they are so exact that for all practical purposes they serve just as well.
One of the interesting facts connected with this anniversary is that the birth and death of Shakespeare may be celebrated on the same day, for according to tradition he was born on the twenty-third of April. That he died on that date is a settled fact, but it is not quite so certain that he was born on that date. The best proof that that was probably his birthday is found in the church book which records his baptism. The record there reads, "1564, April 26—Gulienus; Filius Johannes Shakespeare."
MUST RESERVE TOMORROW
Limit for Seniors' Choice Seats at Prize Play
Reservations for the Senior Play, "Copping the Grapes," may be made Wednesday morning, April 19 at the Bowersock theater. Ten rows in the center section will be reserved until 10:30 tomorrow morning.
Since this is the senior play, the seniors are given the best reserve, provided they make reservations within the time limit.
"Copping the Grapes" promises something new, something different from any senior school that has ever been given, because it was written by one of the class. It deals with K. U. life and everyone who attends can not help but appreciate the local atmosphere which is portrayed.
An effort to secure a large reunion of the class of 1886 during commencement week is being made by Henry E. Riggs, now professor of civil engineering in the University of Michigan. According to a letter written to a friend here, Professor Riggs already has secured the promises to attend of Mr. Buckledge, Miss C. Saran Emery, Miss Julia Flinn, Miss Grieman, Lucilla Palmer Graham, Olin Templin, Mrs. Lena Van Voorish Templin, and Richard Birkbeck who is coming all the way from Camaguet, Cuba.
