ExpenssEof Student at Ames Much
Less Than at Many Colleges.
Special to Times
Ames, March 16.-While the cost to
the public OF educating young man
or woman at most state universities
and colleges has gone up beyond the
$500 per year mark, it has been kept
DOWN to very little more than one-half
that sum at Iowa State College.
In report to the state board of ed
ucation recently compiled by E. w.
Stanton, chief financial officer OF Iowa
State College, it Is shown that the total
cost Of educating the average student
at Ames for one college year Of thirty
six weeks IS $22S.27. That figure in
cludes all items of expense which are
,chargeablei to instruction with the
cost of permanent buildings and
equipment pro- rated for one year.
Not all Of that annual cost is paid by
tho state, for the United, States gov
ernment bears portion Of it and an
other portion is made up by student
fees. This relatively low cost at Ames
Is In marked contrast with the cost at
other state institutions recently pub
lished in press reports in Illinois, Wis
ccnsin and Cornell where the cost per
student Is in excess Of $500; in Mis-
souri, and Nebraska, where it is be-
tween $3.50 and $500; in Minnesota,
where it approaches $500. In none o.
the institutions listed in these reports
was the cost as low as at Iowa State
College.

pany that the company was liable for
the statutory penalty Of 500 besides
the price of a ticket to Turin, Iowa.
from Onawa, for failure to redeem the
ticket when presented for redemption
at the place Of purchase. The judge
held that it was question Of the con-
sstruction Of the statute regarding the
redemption Of tickets and not the rea-
sonableness or unreasonableness Of the
company's regulations that governed.
The court held that the positive stat
ute required the company to provide
for the redemption Of tickets pur-
chased in good faith il presented with
in ten days from date Of sale, and that
the purchaser was entitled to receive
his money Immediately and did not
need to wait until the company had
sent the ticket in to the general pas
sengeT agent. The court further held
that the demand for redemption might
be oral as we'll as written.
Counsel for the company argued
that the rules Of the company should
govern instead Of the statute.
It Is said the railroad company will
appeal.

Des Moines, March 16. - Two star

with any Of the mile distance men in
the entire country. In addition one Is

similar to the Harvey Carroll battle OF

will not be the first meeting of the men
altho Carroll Is competing for his last
year in college athletics and Tenny for
his first. With Joie Ray, Of the illinois
Athletic Club, the men have taken all
the indoor honors Of the year. Tenny

Both men Will be competing in the

Des Moines. Carrolrs first appearance
was when Michigan first made IT'S re-
appearance in western athletic compe-
titions in the Drake relays of 1915. This
Temperance brought forth a final
mile struggle between Carroll and
Harvey, OF Wisconsin. which will go
down in the mental annals Of all who
watched it as one Of the greatest bat
ties ever staged between two sterling
runners. Later that same year Carroll
won the eastern intercollegiate, the
highest honor to come to the college
runners Of the eastern half of the
United States. He was in the relays
last year but his support was not such
that he had chance. He was again
star in the eastern intercollegiate but
took second place, Windnagle of Cor
nell, setting the second fastest college

Tenny. while in his first year OF col
lege competition, has made almost as
good a record. He won the Chicago
cross country. won an indoor mile
against the runners of the University
of, Indiana and with a tWentE-yard
handicap he won the First Regiment
mile from Ray 10y Il much larger mar
gin than the handicap. II is consider
cd that in both the Indiana meet and IN
the First Regiment games he stepped
the fastest mile ever staged by an Iowa
reared yolingstcr. 1t may be that there
will be other good mile runners in the
final relay but it is certain if there
is even a chance FOR a battle that Car
