WORK COMMENCING ON NEW DORMITORY

THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1922.
Building to be Located on Southeast Corner of North College Hill
WILL HOUSE 135 WOMEN
Ad Building Addition Bids Too High—May Cut Out Some Features
Dormitory Hill is soon to be a reality. Work has begun on the new women's dermitory which is to take place in occupied .25 of the old North College.
Old North College was the first building to be erected at the University, and stood in the exact center of the two blocks of land which made up the original campus, between Ohio and Indiana streets in the ten hundred block. The building was finally demolished by an army tank, brought here to aid in a recruiting campaign during the war.
The new building is being built just southeast of the site of the old building, and is about three blocks from the present campus proper. Our share of the dormitory fund is about $190,000 or about $4,000 more than the school's own budget versity. The addition to the fund was made possible when the State Agricultural College forfeited its share. The general contractor is expected to be through with his part of the work about the first of May, 1923, and the building will be ready for use at the school opens the following September.
The building will house, according to Dean Blitz, about one hundred and thirty-five girls and five staff members, and will be a great help in simplifying the housing problem for the University women.
None of the bids for the contract to complete the Administration Building, received by the Board of Administration, at Topeka, June 22 were low enough to meet the appropriation for that work, and so a number of minor changes, which will lower the cost of the work, are being considered. The announcement that bidders would be asked to submit alternative estimates.
WALWORTH GETS BIG 'Y' JOB
A soon as a satisfactory bid has been made and accepted the work on the building, which has been in progress since 1912, will be recommenced, and will probably be completed in the coming year. The addition of floors and a basement. The addition will be the most elaborate structure on the University campus.
Acting Y. M. Secretary Heree Goes to Colorado
Lawrence A. Walworth, acting secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., has resigned his position here, and has accepted a position with the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company as industrial "Y" secretary in one of their wills to assume his new duties as soon as his place here can be filled.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company has more than twenty Y. M. C.A.'s in conjunction with their many plants and mines throughout Colorado and New Mexico. Mr. Walworth has not been assigned to any definite yet, as there are several vacancies fill in the company's Y. M. work.
This company has always been a progressive corporation in so far as the care of its workers is concerned. It was one of the pioneers in the field of industrial Y. M. C. A. work. According to those who have observed the work of the Colorado Fuel and Iron people, the company has a very high class of miners, and it treats its men as men and not as machinery.
Mr. Walshown had a great deal of experience in Y. M. C. A. work, having served in Hawaii three years, with the Oakland, K.C. "Y for a year," with the Oakland, Y. M. C. A. at Paublo, Colo. He received his University training here.
The Student Union Building will be a wonderful addition to the campus—a thing beautiful—the pride of the city and a reminder to the soldier dead of Kansas.

CONVOCATION
A Model for the Kansas Union
THE MICHIGAN STUDENT UNION BUILDING
The Michigan Student Union Building, which is the most outstanding success among the student unions of the Mid-West, is to serve as a model for the Kansas Union which is to be constructed on the campus in the near future. Pond and Pond, of Chicago, the architects of the Michigan building, have been secured as the consulting architects for Student Union here. Professor Goldsmith, head of the department of architecture, is
The Michigan Union, built and equipped, cost approximately $1,400,000, and adequately serves a total enrollment of 11,000 students. According to Lindau the Kansas structure will lend the cost at a cost not to exceed $750,000.
When asked how soon construction would start on the Student Union he, Doctor Lindley said that he could not set any definite date. "However it is the firm intention of the Memorial Executive Committee," said the chancellor, "to have the first unit of the structure built in the near future; perhaps with in the next year."
The Michigan Union contains; dormitories for the visiting alumni, and parents of the students; a cafeteria and private dining rooms; offices for

The May-June bulletin of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists is just off the press. The bulletin is the official publication of the organization and is published in Lawrence by the editor, Raymond C. Moore.
"Stratigraphy of a Part of Southern Utah," is the subject of a report, by Mr. Moore, in this issue. The area examined by the writer lies in southern Utah in Kane, Garfield, and Wayne counties. Studies in southern Utah were supplemented by reconnaissance examination on a trip southward from Kanab to the north brink of the Grand Canyon at Bright Angel Point. The article is supplemented by a table of formations, showing all of the stratigraphic divisions which are recognized.
A. F. Crider has written an article on the "Eldorado Arkansas Oil Field and Its Relation to North Louisiana Structures." In this article Mr. Crider discusses the structure and the source of the oil and gas in this community.
A meeting of the K. U. Dames will be held next Wednesday, July 12 at 9:30 a.m. at the home of Mrs. Meyers of 746 Alabama Street.
all student organizations, and meeting rooms for all kinds of conferences large lobbies and reading rooms; and recreational facilities such as bowling alleys and pool tables. Perhaps the thing which is most popular of all among the students is the large number of organizations are allowed to rent the hall for a nominal sum, and it is in great demand, furnishing the Student Union with a steady source of revenue.
"We hope to include most of these features in the Kansas Union," said Chancellor Lindley, who has made a thorough inspection and study of the Michigan building. "The most remarkable thing to me is the extreme difference of union among the Michigan students, the cessions, the Student Union there is used by as high as 15,000 people in a single day. We believe that our union is going to be fully as popular, and we are going to do one thing that the Michigan Union has neglected. They have made very few provisions for women, but we intend to build that will be as popular among women students as among the men."
James H. Gardner has an article on "Rock Distortion on Local Structures in the Oil Fields of Oklahoma." The bulletin contains a number of geological notes. In the back is a list of Reviews and New Publications. Under the title of "The Association Round Table," the proceedings of the seventh annual meeting of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists held in Oklahoma City, during March 9-11, 1922 are accounted.
A review of oil and gas pools in North Louisiana territory was made for this issue by J. P. D. Hull and W. C. Spooner. The article traces the history of gas and oil from the time the first natural gas was found in Caddo Parish, Louisiana, up to the present time.
Doctor Lindley said that the location for the structure has not yet been definitely desired, but that the plot of a movie Museum seemed the most likely site.
VISUAL INSTRUCTION
GAINING FAVOR HERF
Weber's Course in Screen Wor is Popular Among Summer Students
Interest in the course in Visual Instruction offered in the Summer Session of the University, under the direction of Joseph J. Weber, associate professor of education, is evidenced by the fact that Miss Louise Clark, who for four years has been doing lecture and film work in the schools of Kansas City, has received a mission to enroll in the class for the last two weeks of the six weeks term. Of the twenty students enrolled in the class, fifteen are from Kansas City, Mo., indicating that teachers in the large city schools are realizing the value and importance of visual instruction. Kansas has been a plierer in this field and the work is gaining recognition throughout the state.
Intreating features of the course in Visual Instruction include: instruction in operating a lantern and a portable moving picture projector; typical community programs, exhibited by the Extension Division; special lectures and demonstrations by representatives of commercial firms; and general lectures, experiments, and discussions in the classroom.
the types and sources illustrated by diagrams, photographs, slides moving pictures, models, and museum exhibits; administrative problems of how to get picture and exhibit;s and methods of using visual aids in school subjects.

STUDENT CONVOCATION
CALLED FOR THURSDAY
IN FRASER AT 10 O'CLOCK
Chancellor Lindley Will Speak on Subjects Vital to Summer Students
Part of Period to be Given to Explanation of Memorial Campaign
Chancellor E. H. Lindley will speak at all University Convocation in Fraser Chapel, Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. His subject has not been announced, but he will touch a number of things vital to Summer Session students. A portion of his address will concern the K. U. Million Dollar Memorial, and the Union-Stadium drive.
The convocation will last from 10 to 11 o'clock, and classes will be so arranged so that the hour will be vacant. Dean Kent, director of the Summer Session, urges that all students and faculty members be present at the convocation, as it is only purely University function durerough will be there. That Doctor Lindley will talk at the reception Friday night, but many students were unable to be there.
Dean Kent pointed out that the convocations of the Summer Session, are coming to be considered in much the same light as are the all-University convocations in the winter terms; these are becoming more and more a vital and necessary part of the session.
"In fact," said Dean Kent, "the Summer Session has developed and grown until it is an integral part of the University school year. This year we have an enrollment of 1490 students, which is just about twice the summer enrollment of any year preceding 1921."
"Summer schools throughout this section of the country are growing very rapidly," continued Dean Kent, "and we believe that summer schools will soon be considered just as much a part of the educational institutions as the winter terms. The convocation Thursday is part of our plan of extending the school spirit to Summer Session students."
A portion of the convoitation will be turned over to an explanation of the purpose and goal of the Memorial Campaign, and an opportunity will be given to those, who have never been approached on the subject, to subscribe to the Union-Stadium fund. In a letter which the Memorial Commission is sending out to the Summer Session students who have not yet pledged, Prof. W.J. Baumgartner, organization secretary, says, "No appeals will be made for subscriptions, but everyone will be given an opportunity to take part in the greatest movement K. U. has ever undertaken."
The goal of the drive is $1,000,000,
and of this amount $875,000 has already been pledged. The fund is being used for the erection of the Student Union Building, the completion of the building, and the purchase of the Uncle Jimmy's Suite.
Summer Session students last year 'aised approximately $7,000.
