When the construction company finishes its contract on the building in a few weeks, the museum will be ready to house the exhibits and collections which have been stored in various places over the campus for the past few years. However, it will take several more years to restore and remount the exhibits in their proper places. Continued on page 3 The Daily Kansan during the school year led a campaign to secure appropriations for the necessary repairs on Dyche museum.

Comanche, the only survivor of the Custer massacre which took place in Wyoming, June 25, 1876, was the favorite mount of Captain Myles Keogh, a fighting Irishman who was in command of Troop I of the Seventh Cavalry. This horse is a golding, fifteen and one-half hands high, and weighing approximately 940 pounds. In regard to color, Comanche might be termed as a claybank, a chestnut but not a buck- Continued on page 3 central states. The puppeteers who are experienced actors were selected from dramatic departments of the leading universities and were given intensive training in the Marionette school. The play presents Katharina, who is cursed with a shrewish temper that is partly due to envy of the good fortune of the mincing artificial beauty, Bianca, her sister. When other gallants will have none of Kate, the whimsical Petruchio who has come to Padua seeking a wealthy wife determines to conquer her will with a sample of her own humor. He comes late to their wedding, clothed like a scarecrow, riding a sunken-backed spavined horse. He boxes the ear of the priest, and refuses to stay for the wedding dinner. Arrived home, he storms and beats the servants, and allows Kate no food for two days, and so manges things as to seem to do all thi out of love for her and regard for her health. He succeeds in subduing her and at the end she makes a speech to other wives about the duty of obedience. Decorate Third Floor Room of Memorial Union Activity tickets will admit Summer Session students. General admission will be 50 cents. Definite plans were formulated for the completion of the room subsequent to a $1,200 donation for that purpose by the senior class of 1938. About $3,500 has been set aside for the finishing of the room. Decorating contractors will begin work next Tuesday morning on the third floor room opposite the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building. Work will be completed by September so that the room may be used by dinner parties and other small groups. Although the room will be used primarily for small dinner parties, it will be large enough to accommodate about 70 persons. The room is designed to provide a removable partition which will be used to divide the space into two smaller dining rooms should conflicting functions warrant. A fireplace is to be built in the south end of the room and all of the woodwork and furnishings will be of rustic pine. It will resemble the Pine Room in the west end on the same floor but will be more artistically decorated, according to Miss Hermina Zipple, manager of the Union building.
