PRINGLE BLAMES PRESS
Claims Leading Journals Prejudiced Country Against Party
Kenneth W. Pringle, the representative from the University of Kansas on the Ford Peace Expedition, thinks that the newspapers are greatly to blame for the unfavorable attitude created toward the Ford Peace Expedition. The whole affair was an idea of the moment, brittly written and finally in several instances. Mistakes were inevitable and when they were made they were greatly magnified by the unfriendly newspaper men.
The newspapers were asked to send men with the expedition because Ford and his leaders felt that it would be better to be ridiculed and get the news before the people than to have the great mass of people know nothing of it. Some of the newspapers were fair and friendly in every way but five or six of the loading eastern trains ran from the start. To this unfriendly attitude of the American and English newspapers, Mr. Pringle lays the prejudice of the people of Norway. All discussions and disputes were reported by them as quarrels, giving them a wrong impression. This impression the members of the party had to overcome after their arrival in Norway. They did they not, however, for the same reason needed more friendly day of their stay.
Mr. Pringle expects to give a detailed account of his trip and experiences while in Europe, in chapel, next Monday.
ARE OLDER THAN KANSAS
If some of the ancient trees on the banks of the Kansas River could talk they might tell a tale of their younger days, from 1700 to 1800 when they formed a great forest and none but Indians roared these parts. Elms, sycamores, and oaks were here when white man first came.
Ancient Oaks on Banks of Kaw Over 200 Years Old
"Some of these ancient trees," said Prof. W. C. Stevens of the department of botany yesterday, "are between 360 and 380 years old. The reason the rare one tree which was felled two years ago and counted about 265 rings."
There are no old trees on the campus but considering that the trees on the hill top are swept by strong winds both summer and winter they have done very well. Professor Stevens says that the oldest tree on the campus is probably the cottonwood between Fraser and Snow Hills. No tree but exactly how old this tree is, but from exactly old it was fifty years old. Other trees were planted in the early seventies under the administration of Chancellor Marvin and the Douglas County Horticultural Association.

Fifteen K. U. Men Board Themselves for 22 Cents a Day
LIVE LIKE PRINCES, TOO
With Chicken and Oysters and Ice Cream on a Sunday
A square meal for 7-3-4de. A problem worked out in the department of home economies but of the management and co-operation of a boarding club by fifteen young men who as students are enrolled at a college life at the University of Kansas.
For 222 a day or $1.54 a week these young men board themselves at K. U., getting three nourishing meals each day, consisting of econ, toast and a cereal on the way; each person must prepare his own breakfast since the cook and his helper have early morning classes, who are feeling lax or overeases he loses out.
AND SUPPER AT NIGHT
There is no formal 6 o'clock dinner but a good old fashioned one at 12:30, with the following menu, for example: meat, mashed potatoes and gravy, scalloped corn, and macaroni, with pie for dessert, coffee if desired. Supper at 6:30 consists of cold meat, potato-based soup, and milk or drink. Sunday finds the traditional "extras," chicken or roast, oysters in season and ice cream and cake.
The original co-operative club was organized four years ago but this year it has obtained the maximum of $3,000 in cash for a term, fifteen young men paid in a share of $3.00 each; this total purchased the necessary furniture and dishes. Should a member withdraw from the club, the member must put in his share as the original fifteen have done. Each week thirteenth of the club pay in $2.00 for the running expenses, the cook and his assistants gave their board in return for services.
BUY GOODS WHOLESALE
The club rents a light airy basement, and a spacious room, for the sum of $8.00 per month, which includes fuel and lights.
Canned goods are bought by the case and potatoes by the sack. Only once the case is necessary to make an extra assessment and that amounted to 10c a person.
A steward manages the finances and orders the supplies. He receives no response from the customer, indicating that the experience is sufficient. Each man gets a certain amount of domestic training since no one escapes him or should he neglect or forget his turn.
The club is located at 1220 Ohio.
PARK'S FATE IS DOUBTFU]
Woodland May Not Be Opened This Year, Skinner Says
Whether Woodland Park will be opened this spring and run the same as in years past is a question which is now in the balance. It all depends upon whether The Douglas County park not and even then there is a chance that the association may equip it for an amusement park, J. T. Skinner, manager of the Lawrence Railway & Electric Light Co., is of the opinion that the park, the roller coaster which was recently blown down will not be rebuilt or replaced by another. "That form of amusement has grown old and it is my opinion that something is needed to substitute it," said Mr. Skinner.
Miss Emily V. Berger, '14, has taken the position of assistant instructor in the department of chemistries and recently vacated by Mp. Aulay McAuley.
No matter who owns the park, KU dances will be held there this spring as usual. The first dance, given by a Forty Club, is scheduled for April 8.
Miss Berger was assistant in the department last year but has not been associated with the University this year up to this time.

Blue Sky Law Protects Investors, Seaton Says in K. U. Snocco
Friday and Saturday are fruit salad dals at Wiedemann's.-Adv.
"The Blue Sky Law is an effort to place within the investor's reach reliable information or means of information, so that looking the risk in the face, he may take it or leave it alone," said Samuel T. Seaton, in an address to the students of economics, in Snow Hall, Friday afternoon.
"The first Blue Sky Law was enacted by the 1911 session of the Kansas legislature, to provide for the regulation and supervision of investment in real estate, and to remedy an existing and widespread evil required modification and amendment, but that it was an efficient and valuable law is shown by a consideration of the conditions prevailing at their enactment and enforcement.
SWINDLERS GET BIG MONEY
SWINDLES GET BIG MONEY
"In the official report to the Postmaster General for the final year ending June 30, 1911, the chief inspector gave the amount of $77,000,000 as the gains of only the few swindling promoters who were arrested that year. He also called attention to the fact that these fraud manipulators are a distinct class of criminals, usually moving in the highest social and business sites, and having connections with, or into, the criminal enterprises of illegal character in which they are not known as promoters.
"At the time the Blue Sky Law went into effect there were between four and six millions of dollars an annuity, which was lost to the state of Kansas that was lost to the state of Kansas. After the enactment of the law which provided for an investigation of the securities offered for sale by the state bank commissioner, a charter board, consisting of the attorney general, the secretary of state and the bank commissioner, all but seventy of the then 800 security companies doing business in Kansas that were greener fields for their future business.
"It is safe to say that this year the losses sustained in Kansas from fraudulent enterprises will not exceed 400 and half that may cover them.
CHOSE UNIVERSITY SITE
Charles Robinson Played Inter-
esting Part in Founding Oread
In June of every year there is always an exodus of the junior civil engineers to the Robinson estate, where they have their summer camp. Everyone has heard of this estate but few know what it consists of bears to the University. It consists of a 4200 acre estate, owned by the University. This land was donated by Charles Robinson at his death in 1894. The income from this estate amounts to about $500 million to the general University fund. Formerly this income was in the control of the state, but by a law passed by the legislature it is now given to the University.

Mr. Robinson was a physician and was much interested in the School of Medicine. When the pains for the burn occurred, he offered the council his forty claim claim to one block of ground which lay south of what is now Mt. Oread. The council accepted the offer; and as a result, the University now is situated at its campus. He ginned in Mr. Robinson's grit. Mr. Robinson's friendship to the University has been commemorated in the raming of the gymnasium after him. Mr. Robinson's gymnasium is dedicated to him and the women's side is dedicated to his wife.

CHOSE SITE FOR UNIVERSITY
HOSESTATE FOR UNIVERSITY
Mr. Robinson's interest in Kansas was first felt when went through the state on his way to California. While in Lawrence he conceived of the Hill as an ideal spot for a great university. After a few years in California he went back to Massa-
na and his home state; but he never forgeten Korsak. He told him and his wife came to Lawrence, and settled on the forty-acre claim.
His first home was situated just south of Spooner Library, where the Woodward home is now. The house burned, and the Robinson moved to a second cabin, situated on what is now the site of Professor Hodder's home. He was killed by fire, and they moved again, this time to tate four miles northwest of Lawrence. Here Mr. Robinson died in 1894.
For the greater part of his life he was the central figure in Kansas history. He was at different times, support, and leadership. Haskell Institute, regent of the University, resident of the State Historical Society, and state senator for two terms.

Upon showing his ticket he was allowed to ride on a freight which arrived at Topeka, his destination, at 3:30 the next morning Folkie said that it "was a great exertion and he would try it again as soon as the opportunity presented itself."
