FEW IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE CAMPUS
CUT IN APPROPRIATION BILL SPOILS PLANS.
Engineers Will Have to Wait Awhile—Embankment at Bottom of Hill Delayed.
Few improvements will be made upon the campus this spring according to E. F. Crocker who is superintendent of buildings and grounds at the university. The recent cut in the appropriation bill will fall more severely upon him than upon other departments connected with the university because campus improvements can be dispensed with.
Among the improvements that were decided upon before the bill was slashed was an embankment around the bill just above the building which he uses for his offices. The embankment would be made to prevent the dirt from tumbling down on the street car track. This will be dispensed with as will also several improvements around the engineering building in the way of grading and sodding. An immense amount of work will have to be done west and south of Marvin hall before the campus adjacent, can be sodded and trees set out. At present Mr. Crocker can not tell just what improvements will be made, but they will probably be limited to the setting out of a few more bushes and shrubs and resodding some parts of the campus.
SWIMMERS TO K. C.
Will Try Luck a Second Time With Y. M.
The Y. M. C. A, and K. U. swimmers will compete in the pool at the Y. M. C. A., Tenth and Oak streets, next Saturday night. Indoor swimming meets are still in the novelty class in Kansas City and the large crowds that have attended meets in the Y. M. C. A. pool have greatly encouraged the pursuit of this branch of sport. This meet will be of special interest, as, judging from the last meet between these teams several closely contested events are expected. The teams will compete in the following events: 30-yard dash, 60- yard dash, 120-yard dash, 50-yard back stroke, 30-yard dash, legs tied; faney diving, under water swim, plunge for distance, and relay race, 120 yards (4-men teams).
Among K. U.'s swimmers will be J. Daniels, captain; Davis, Griffin Brown, Grignard and Wilhelm. Among the swimmers representing the Y. M. C. A. will be E. H. Hancock, A. E. Seymour, C. L. Healey, A. B. Grantham, captain; Ray Heath, J. Broheimer, C. Anderson, G. Stanley, C. W. Barney and P. Payne.

NOW THE FARMER-EDITOR
Following K. S. A. C. Plan Coun try Editors May Make Living.
A newspaper published on a farm! The farmer a regular contributor of well written articles to the farm journals and country weeklies!
This is one of the startling changes the Kansas Agricultural College is bringing about. By means of its department of "Agricultural Journalism" the students are taught to become sole-managers of country papers, working on every branch of the subject from writing personals to printing the paper. Reporting takes the form of writing up farm subjects in as interesting a manner as that used in the most startling city "scool." The copy reading class not only corrects its own copy but improves the articles in every paper the department studies. The printing office is the meeting place of a regular class in printing. Up-to-date presses and fixtures make the office all a press room should be However, it is too clean. The mer say they can't get the proper atmosphere for lack of dirt.
"The Industrialist" a model farm journal published by the students of the department, contains news and articles of especial interest to the farmers and is printed to be circulated among them.
The students are interested in their work and very much in earnest. Their school has taken a big part in the general movement of "uplift for the farmers" and is emphasizing an important feature of the struggle for culture which is sweeping over the rural districts.
April Lawyer Out.
"It is really missionary work,' said Miss Sadie Mossler, assistant professor in industrial journalism. "Our paper 'The Industrialist' has improved many country weeklies already. They realize that it is a model paper and notice and criticise every detail even so small a mistake as a typographical error. One of our students is going to set up a printing shop on his father's farm next year and combine farming and publishing. It is no wonder the farmers are loyal to the school—everything it does is of practical value to them."
Bonnie Coleman, a freshman in the school of Fine Arts, entertained with a house party at her home in Garnett during the vacation. Her University guests were Mabel Evans, Beulah Murphy, Mabel Cobbs, and Paul Carl.
The April issue of the "Kansas Lawyer" appeared for distribution today. Two articles on "The Liability of the Automobilist," by Harry Hart of Harvey county continued from last month, and "The Duty to obey the Law," by Justice R. A. Burch of the Supreme Court of Kansas are of popular interest and will be much read. Two constructive editorials on "School Days" and the appropriation affairs are worthy of attention also.
Prof. E. B. Cowgill of the department of University Extension will speak before the Central Protective association of Shawnee Thursday evening. His subject will be "The Farmer's Future."

K. U. GOLFERS DEFEATED
Disastrous Trip to Topeka Last Saturday.
Last Saturday eleven members of the Oread Golf Club went to Topeka for a tournament with the Topeka Country Club. The university club which was composed mainly of professors was defeated by the strong Topeka club 32 up. The showing made by the Kansas men was not bad considering the fact that the course was entirely new to them and that this was their first trip out of Lawrence.
The captain of the team M. W. Sterling took his men to Topeka Saturday morning. The Topeka men met them at the train and took them to their club house in automobiles. A luncheon was served after which the matches of the afternoon were held. The Country Club's course is one of the best in the country and the Kansas golfers enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
This is the first of a series of out of town games which will be played by the Oread Golf Club. A return match with the Topeka Club will be held on the university links in a couple of weeks. The membership of the club is very small only fifty being active and but six of these university students. In the large colleges of the east golf is considered one of the chief sports and if more of the students here should take up the game the course could be improved greatly. The initiation fee to the club is very small and is only sufficient to keep the greens cut.
Highland College, of Highland, Kansas receives $10,000 of the distribution of $300,000 by which Dr. D. K. Pearson s the venerable philanthropist, of Chicago, celebrated his 91st birthday.

A novel course is found at Indiana, the like of which probably does not exist in any American university. The purpose of the course is to make the members of the classes familiar with the broader principles of conservation. According to the announcement of the professor in charge, it is a study of conservation from a scientific standpoint.
On April 7th and 8th, a two days session under the auspices of the American Medical Society, was held at Oswego, Kansas. This is a national society, the members of which are physicians. The prime object of the organization is the promotion of good health by cooperating with municipal and state authorities in the elimination of unsanitary conditions and in the promulgation of methods of living which are conducive to good health.
Dr. Ida M. Hyde, of Kansas University, read the special paper on "The value of air, water, food and good sanitary conditions, in the preservation of health." She brought out the fact that impure air causes more deaths than alcohol, and laid especial emphasis on the fact that simple hygienic conditions of living are preventative of disease.
