VOLUME X.
BIDS ON STADIUM ARE UNDER HALF MILLION
NUMBER 6
University Officials Pleased With Figures Given by Several Contractors
MR. FOSTER TREASURER
Registerar Appointed to Handle Million Dollars Subscribed in the Movement
With the receiving and tabulating of the Stadium Memorial bids this week, Chancellor E. H. Lindley made the pleasing popular announcement in a semi-official way at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce meeting Tuesday noon that the stadium would probably be completed for something less than half a million dollars. He said that reductions in labor costs and aid would work to get much more of the new fund in getting much more for the money subscribed than had been thought possible at first.
The Stadium and Union building were each looked upon as something more than a $500,000 proposition, but now the money saved on one project will go to make the other much better. From the enthusiasm manifest among the alumni and students, the entire fund is hoped to net more than a million dollars, but the accounting will show that every dollar has been spent wisely and for the building of a greater University.
The bids for the building of the K. U. Memorial Stadium were opened Tuesday morning in the Chancellor's office. The bids were as follows:
A. R. Stimson ... $428,950
Unlimited Construction Co... $463,438.78
Construction Co... $555,755.87
Fogel Construction Co... $753,164.53
A. S. Hocker Co... $182,141.85
A. R. Stimson of Topeka was the low bawler as shown by the above. He offered to build the Stadium complex and he fitted it with hammers and it fited in twelve months.
Some arrangement must be made concerning the fall football season. The committee is considering the advisability of trying to complete one or two sections at a small additional cost. It is thought that the larger gate receipts would more than offset the extra cost.
The bidders were asked to rejuire their bids in an effort to cut down, the time with as little added expense as possible. The executive committee will meet in Chancellor Lindley's office Saturday morning at 9 o'clock to consider the revised bids and determine if awards are issued is notvery definite yet, but there will be no unnecessary delay on the part of the University officials.
George O. Foster, registrar of the University, has been appointed a permanent treasurer of the Kansas Memorial Corporation. Chancellor Lindley made the appointment upon the recommendation of a committee composed of Mayor George Kreeck, Irving Hill and Prof. W. J. Baumgartner. These men had given this matter several weeks consideration.
The committee considered Registrar Foster the logical man for treasurer because, along with his other qualifications, he has a wider acquaintance among the alumni of K. U than any other person in Kansas Mr. Foster has been a judge during his thirty years of service. He has also beer treasurer of the athletic association for a number of years.
Mr. Foster will have charge of all moneys of the Corporation. He will attend to the collection of all notes and the disbursement of all funds. "It may be necessary to establish a separate office for the handling of the treasurer's business," Mr. Foster said.

Whoop 'er up! The Summer Session students, instructors and everybody else on Mount Oread will celebrate the Ever Glorious Independence Day next Monday, July 4th, with the City of Lawrence alumni, business men and citizens generally, at Woodland Park, all day and evening.
The University co-operation with the city committee has been shown by the bringing of Professor Burgess Johnson, an outdoor orator of national renown, for the address of the day. He will make a special visit to Lawrence for this occasion and will give the intellectual touch to the proceedings, with his oration "The Yankee and His Ancestors," about noonday.
In several other ways, the University will have a big share in the events of the day. A score of the instructors, whose athletic fame has been restored by the leadership of Doctor "Phog" will try their "come-back" about 11 o'clock in the morning with a team of livey youths, Boy Scouts from 15 to 18 years of age, in a baseball contest. If the youngsters will men will buy them a full outfit of ice cream and lemonade for ice cream or afternoon, they has permitted his name to be used in the line-up for encouragement since he is expecting to join the celebrators during the greater share of the day.
What is looked upon as the piece de resistance of the entire day is the promise of some bankers of Lawrence to provide an opportunity to the service men students on Mount Oread to eat supper with the pretty Red Cross survivors. Of course, any service women can join with the nurses in taking care of the veterans during the late afternoon social entanglement.
The remainder of the day's program will be well taken care of at the park. It will consist of a round of amusements, basket picnic gatherings, concerts and exhibits. Not too late is the time to leave. Not at the house and the University but Haskell Institute en masse and the country folks for miles around will join in the delights of the day.

ly for the occasion. This is not saying however that some of those most enjoyable when alone two by two gatherings will not utilize the quiet under the shade trees and celebrate in their own particular way. They are excusable by general consent, else K. U. would not attain the co-educational perfection and consideration that is our romantic youth.
Professor Prunty also brought out that the public school is the place for the coming generation to get their foundation for a mental, moral, spiritual, and economic education consequent on successful education should be the most efficient and well-trained teachers it is possible to obtain.
The remainder of the program was a talk by Prof. Merie Prunty, principal of the Tulsa (Oklaahoma) High School. Professor Prunty is in charge of the classes in High School Administration at the University this summer. He emphasized espousing the value of salience in our preservice system. The value of being able to put our plan of education before the voter and before the people who are educating their children, was very high, he said.
Professor Prunty, in closing, made a final plea to the educators to take a place of leadership and responsibility in the education of those who have failed before, in future years, and brought out the necessity for securing better-trained
AFTER THE FOURTH THoughts There will be several days after the Fourth of July. One of these days will be Saturday, July 9, on which day and date it is officially promulgated that all classes will be held in regular order so that none of the Summer Session recitations may be lost.
"The students do not ask two holidays in one week," said Director W. H., Johnson yesterday in announcing the changed schedule. "The custom of the University has been to hold classes Saturdays when more desirable to make up for holiday dismissals. All want to do their summer work completely d without being curtailed so the regular schedule for the last day of the 10 o'clock will be set forward 'o Saturn foveron.'"
Conversation may be called on Tuesday morning, July 5. As soon as Director Johnson can see Professor Johnson, the visiting author for this course, we will endeavor to arrange to have the latter remain in Lawrence to address an All University conversation in Fraser Hall, probably at nine o'clock Tuesday morning, since the speaker has to proceed to Emporia in the early afternoon. As professor of English at Vassar College, the visitor from the East is already personally known to many educational workers in Kansas and western states. He is considered one of the most eminent men of the country to be secured for this occasion and definite announcement will be made his conversation to be made in city bulletin boards and in urban newspapers will mean an overflow gathering in Fraser Hall chapel, it is predicted.
DEMONSTRATE FILMS USED IN INSTRUCTION
Given to Show Practibility for Use in Secondary Schools
Schools
Films prepared by the Society of Visual Education were shown at Fraser Hall Tuesday night through the courtesy of the film department of the Extension Division. The films shown were: "The Westward Movement," a historical film; and "The Central Plains," a薄膜scape; and "Work of River Ivy," a film. The purpose of the demonstration is to show the practicality of the use of moving pictures in secondary schools.
The audience was composed chiefly of school administrators and teachers who were interested in the show, and shown were just received by the Extension Department this spring and had not been shown before. The use of these films and others for classwork in schools can be seen on most est shows at the Extension department.
Prof. Frank H. Hodder, of the department of American history, was asked to criticise the first film from this point of view. He said, "I believe that the moving pictures will be of greater use in other fields of study than in history. The presentation of scenes is too fast for a thorough study of history and in many places creates false impressions of circumstances, of causes, and of time."
and more efficient teachers to guide the students along the right path to leadership and administration,
A second demonstration, slightly different in nature, will be given by the department Friday night, July 15.
The meeting was closed with a few remarks by President Farris, who cordially extends to all men and women who are interested in problems related to invitation to the meeting to be held next Wednesday evening.
