TO BE BOTANY MISSIONARY
K. U. Professor Teaches What Trees and Shrubs do Best in Kansas
Men and women of the plains of Kansas are to feel the effects of the civic improvement idea, now so prominent throughout the state, if Prof. W. C. Stevens, head of the department of botany at the University, succeeds in imparting to his students his interest in the matter. With that end in view he is offering in the Summer Session, which begins June 10, a new three-hour course called "Trees and shrubs."
"This course is decidedly more than the title suggests," said Professor Stevens. "Besides making an accurate survey of the trees in Lawrence and the vicinity, we will study slides from all over the world, and apply to conditions here the knowledge thus gained.
"I have discovered," continued Professor Stevens, "that, although it is impossible to have the English hawthorne grow in this state, the Japanese Barberry, a shrub very much like the hawthornes, grows well, and as it stays green so late and retains its berries all year it alone would do much to take away the barren look of the plains.
"I hope from now on to send out a number of botany missionaries each year to different parts of the state and really inform people how to convert them," Mr. Stevens laughed. "Then we will have a truly beautiful Kansas."
Professor Stevens has been working in this course for two years and has collected material from many countries.

PUT SHRUBS AND VINES AROUND THE BUILDINGS
Botany Club Starts Campaign for "A More Beautiful Campus
Sixteen young Virginia Creepers, Pedera quinquefolia, were planted last night around Snow Hall by the Botany Club. The club, fired by the enthusiasm of Miss Grace Charles, dug the plants from the west border on the golf links and moved them to the campus. The creeper, which grows profusely on the golf links, is the species that is imported by Germany in great quantities for the beautification of German cities. It is a native of Kansas and grows very readily here. In a few years the vine will be making a very good showing on the walls of Snow, according to the faculty of the department of botany.
Miss Charles, the spirit of the movement in Snow Hall, has some big plans for the beautifying of the campus at a little or no expense. "We have been discussing the prospect of making the campus beautiful by the use of native Kansas shrubs, having not only beautiful surroundings for the University, but creating a garden that will be a welcome venue in the rapid disappearance of the rapidly disappearing native Kansas flowers. It is our desire to make Mount Ouread of the same nature as the Arboretum of Harvard.
"There seems to me a chance," Miss Charles went on, "for the different classes and organizations to leave memorials in the way of trees or vines for the buildings. Then when the old grads return, in 1996, with bald or gray heads they can show their grandchildren the trees they planted themselves. A few seats with screens of vines might be left by some far sighted students, to gladden the hearts of their children when they in turn come to the University."
Leave Vines for Buildings
It is the policy of the Botany Club to follow out the plans now laid, and to follow up the act of last night with more planting.
REHEARSE THE SENIOR PLAY
Cast at Work on a "Professor's Love Story" for Commencement Week
The "Professor's Love Story," this year's senior play, has started rehearing for the performance June 7, the Monday of commencement week. Yesterday's rehearsal was especially gratifying and others will be held every day this week. The seniors are planning for a large crowd and several alumni have already written that they will be back.
A half dollar is charged to cover the actual expenses of putting on the play, as it is the intention of the class to give it for the alumni and guests of the seniors who will be here for commencement. The play will be in better shape at this production than before. Any profits that may be made on the play will go into the University dramatic fund.
It will be necessary for those who have been granted provisional standing and who have not yet completed their record to see the committee at the office. Otherwise their grades for the term will not be recorded by the Registrar.

LADY ROBIN HOODS SHOOT
Ten University Women Hold Archery Contest; Winner Gets Trophy
"Nevertheless my grandfather shot a good long bow at Hastings, and I trust not to dishonor his memory this day." So said Rubin in the good old days of the merry men and the greenwood tree. But Robin Hood picked up his bow and spilt the slender reed in spite of Hubert and his great enemy. He would have to display this same prowess at the May Fete, but the new arrows did not come in time and so Robin Hood and his merry men had to wait.
However, the archery contest is going to be staged tomorrow on the north side of Fowler Shops at 4 o'clock. The women will not appear in Lincoln green as they were to have done in the May Fete, but their prowess will be shown in spite of the lack of picturesque costumes. Ten women will compete, and the contestant who makes the highest number of points will be awarded the Gustafson trophy.
Sachems Initiate
Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Klinck, of Hut chinson, are visiting their daughter Frances K琳克, sophomore College.
The Sachems took a big jump backwards for a hundred years and powedwow, smoked and squatted wifft the big "K" blankets around them at the Eagles' Hall last evening. The occasion for this lapse from civilization was the initiation of fourteen new Sachems recently elected from the junior class. A banquet was held after the initiation in the same hall.

START PAYMENT OF LOAN FUND PLEDGES
Students Redeeming $20,000 Promises; $45 Trickled in Yesterday
TO SOLICIT PROFESSORS NEXT
Faculty Members Given Chance Soon to Help Out Student Loan Fund To Start Collecting
Faculty Campaign Next
All of the petitions have not been circulated and the committee urges members of the faculty, who have them, to give the students in their classes an opportunity to learn about the profession of students have gone to the office in 'graser to make their pledges.
Slowly, one by one, the pledges for the $50,000 student loan fund, tricker into the Registrar's office. Over $45 has already come and George O. Foster has a large sign on his door notifying all apledges that he is ready to take their deposits. Pledges amounting to four dollars came in yesterday.
The campaign for the loan fund among faculty members will begin next week. The names of several professors appear on the petitions circulated among the students of their classes, but the real campaign for faculty pledges will not start until next week. That there will be a satisfactory response from this direction has been assured by the interest already shown.
Will Help Students
According to the committee in charge, the beginning of the faculty campaign will not hinder the work among students in any way. It is the aim of the committee to give every student on the Hill the opportunity to help on a healthy stay at the university, a healthy student loan fund, from which students may gain financial aid at a low rate of interest, will materially increase the attendance of the University.
Forty-six students left the University. Fourty-six students left the University this year because of lack of funds to defray their expenses for the balance of the term. Members of the faculty say that these people are often the best students. Con Hoffmann, of the University employment bureau, reports that he has already received applications from fifty-nine men for employment next year. As there are only about 150 places open to students, it is evident that it will be impossible to give employment to all the men who apply. Mr. Hoffman believes a student loan fund would greatly relieve the situation and bring many good to the University.
After the campaign among faculty members has been completed, the committee will begin work in the state at large.
