writes J. B. Brown, '87, from Phoenix where he is superintendent of an Indian school. "We played turnball in those days with a hard rubber ball about the size of those now used for golf. Warren was a south-paw and swung a wicked fence board in lieu of a bat.

There were no restrictions as to shape or size of bats nor were there such things as fair or foul balls. Everything was fair in those days, including the loss of the ball among the weeds of the graveyard. "The number of 'tallies' made depended upon the lung and leg power of the runner or time at his disposal before the bell rung for the next session of school. If the teacher's side was at bat, his was the cnly watch, and the play period was somewhat elastic. "There were many fielders but no baseman in those days and the runner was put out by hitting him with the ball between the bases or by throwing the ball across the path between the runner and the base for which he was headed.

This process was known as 'crossing him When the teacher could not play, the boy who owned the ball was the umpire. Things had to go his way or he pocketed the ball, Ided his arms and awaited the capitulation of the gang." Winkler, '21, Injured E. W. Winkler, '21 and '24, is in the Parkview hospital at Manhattan, seriously injured, as a result of an accident which occurred on the highway near Riley, January 29.

POSTER One point upon which all graduates who replied to the questionnaire asking for suggestions for a long-time program for the alumni association are unanimous, is that of presenting the real needs of the college to the state. Many have added the suggesticn that it is just as important that the accomplishments of the college also be kept before the public. A second item which drew comment of practically all who replied, was the one concerning publicity among high school students. Practically all agree that this is a good thing to do, but that the alumni should seek students of high scholastic standing for the college rather than to strive for a mere increase in enrolment.

Comment of one graduate on this point is as follows: "From what I nave found in my travels since I left college, you can always tell what college advertises most. The work that the college (K. S. A. is now doing in speaking and debate is drawing high class students.

Only last summer I heard two high school students say that they knew they would get a chance to do some real work at Manhattan." To increase the alumni endowment Ican fund meets with the approval of all who understand what it is. Several have asked that the fund be explained. The alumni endowment loan fund is a fund maintained by the K. S. A.

C. Alumni association. The purpose of the fund is to help worthy students who are in the need of cash to complete their college courses. The fund is made up of life membership dues in the alumni association. The life membership is $50.

When the $50 is paid in to the association, it is put in the endowment loan fund. There it remains intact, being loaned out constantly. The interest of 6 per cent which is paid for the used of the funds goes to help pay the general expenses of the alumni association. At the present time there is in the fund approximately $4,700. It is being added to frequently as the annual payments on the life memberships which have been pledged are paid in.

Dean J. T. Willard, '83, who is also treasurer of the alumni association, is treasurer of the endowment loan fund. The fund, at its present size, is entirely inadequate to meet the requests from worthy applicants. Life membership dues in the alumni association were lowered from $100 to $50 at the business meeting of the association last commencement time.

According to the plan of payment adopted, the dues may be paid in one sum or may be paid in five annual installments. Pledge cards may be secured from the alumni secretary's office at the college. The life membership plan was presented to the 1925 graduating class with the result that 65 of the seniors signed pledges. Occasional calls for old numbers of the Royal Purple come to the alumni secretary's office. Every effort is always made to locate a copy of the book requested.

The alumni secretary is informed by the class book authorities that several copies of last year's book are available. It has belen suggested that alumni might desire to put a copy of the book In their high school libraries for the benefit of students who may be interested in the college. The book will be mailed postpaid for $1.00. Finds India Fascinating After the hard work is done, one does not want for a pleasant or interesting place to spend a vacation in India, according to a news letter from Florence Justin, '16, to the reunion committee of her class last fall. Miss Justin is teaching in Isabella Thoburn college at Lucknow, India.

"As you know I took my M. A. from the University of Chicago in 1923," Miss Justin writes, "and that fall came out to India. Isabella Thoburn college was the first college interesting place to be. My department is developing.

I find the estabment of home economics work suited to Oriental conditions, no small task. year is not all work, however, and during vacations we hurry away on sight seeing expeditions. Of course in India there is so much to see that I haven't much, comparatively, to report. But I have visited Calcutta, Allahabad, Agra, Muttra, Bombay, Delhi and Lahore. The first summer I sent in the Himalayas and this last summer I had a delightful time in Kashmir.

I really am enjoying myself in India." Interests High Schoolers Along with her request for a college catalogue, Ruth Rowland, '12, of Santa Ana, says: "I have a number of girls who are going to specialize in home economics. Manhattan is a long way from home for some of these native daughters who have never been out of the state, but at least I would like to be able to tell them of the present entrance requirements and the courses offered at K. S. A. Miss Rowland is teaching in the Santa Ana high school.

STATION KSAC GIVES FARM REAL SERVICE Kansas Farmer Associate Editor Rises to Testify that Radio Programs Here Help the People Success is attending the efforts of Station KSAC to give service to Kansas agriculture according to M. N.

Beeler, associate editor of the Kansas Farmer, who expressed his opinion in a recent letter to Dean Harry Umberger of the extension division. "I have discussed the college radio program with hundreds of farmers since it was organized, and I find them all very much in favor of it," wrote Mr. Beeler. "Nothing the legislature could do would meet with such approval as an adequate appropriation for carrying on the work of the station. And such an appropriation would be an investment certain to return to the state treasury many fold the money put into it, because the programs are, and have been, and will be, one of the greatest single factors in creating new agricultural wealth.

"Our set cost $115 with appendages. I consider that it has paid for itself in the first month. It would be hard to estimate the money value of the work which Station KSAC is doing."
