The purpose of the conference is to become better acquainted with different building types, with the stress this year being placed on retail stores and shopping centers. Last year's conference was concerned with the types of architecture featured in modern schools.
The conference is sponsored by the Kansas City chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the kansas chapter of the AIA, the Department of Architecture in the University, and the University Extension.
The conference was opened at 1:30 p.m. today by the Dean of the University George B. Smith, who gave a short welcoming speech. He was followed by Victor Gruen, an AIA member who spoke on the problems involved in the construction of retail stores and shopping centers.
At a dinner in the Student Union tonight, Marvin C. Holmes of the Equitable Life Insurance association will speak on the financing of operations in retail stores and shopping centers.
The second session of the afternoon featured Kenneth G. Welch of Grand Rapids, also an AIA member, who spoke on the characteristics of neighborhood retail stores and shopping centers.
At 9 a.m. tomorrow, a panel discussion will be held and the three speakers will answer questions.
The conference will be concluded with a luncheon tomorrow during which a summary of the conference will be given.
The class of 1905 will celebrate its golden anniversary here June 4 and 5 during an alumni reunion to be held June 4-6. One hundred twenty-six members of the class have been invited.
Plans for the reunion include a dinner at 6 p.m. June 4, the golden anniversary reunion luncheon at noon June 5, and an all-alumni dinner at 4:45 p.m. June 5. Members of the class of '05 will receive 50-year pins at the reunion luncheon.

Mr. White investigated race riots, lynchings and the sharecropping riots of 1919 in Arkansas. In the Arkansas riots, the NAACP took the cases of 79 men, 12 of them under the death sentence, to the Supreme court and eventually obtained freedom for all of them.
WalterWhiteWasChampion Of Negro Rights in U.S.
New York—(U.P.)-Walter White, who died yesterday at 61, was a champion of Negro rights and long-time executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Mr. White was a novelist, biographer and contributor to numerous nationally known magazines. He served as a war correspondent
University Daily Kansan
Mr. White, known as the "ranking Negro diplomat" in segregation controversies, was looked upon by many Negroes as the nearest thing they had to a national leader since the death of Booker T. Washington in 1915.
He was fair-skinned with blue eyes. His own blood was said to be but 1/64th Negro. His second wife, Mrs. Poppy Cannon White, was Caucasian.
Mr. White was tireless during his entire career with the NAACP in investigating reports of persecution, lynchings and discrimination and was an energetic leader in pressing for relief in the courts and legislatures.
He was born in Atlanta, where childhood tragedies influenced the course of his life. Mr. White's father, a mail carrier, died of "lack of attention" because of an injury. Mr. White believed his father would have lived if he had received treatment and not been treated as a Negro. When he was 12, Atlanta was torn by the ordeal of racial riots.
for the New York Post from 1943 to 1945 in the European, Mediterranean, Middle East, and Pacific theaters.
He was a consultant to the United States delegation in the organization of the United Nations in 1945 in San Francisco. He refused an appointment to the post of governor of the Virgin islands in 1949 because he desired to work "for the benefit of more people in somewhat larger areas of responsibility." He received the Spingarn medal in 1937 for his investigation of lynchings and his efforts on behalf of a federal anti-lynch bill.
Mr. White had been ill since last October, when he suffered a heart attack. He had recently returned from a cruise to the Caribbean and had visited his office briefly before his death at home yesterday.
66 Persons In Plane Crash Near Honolulu
Honolulu —(U.P.) A military air transport service passenger plane carrying 66.persons was believed to have crashed today in the mountains of western Oahu island some 30 miles from Honolulu.
Aboard the plane were 59 passengers and nine crewmen. The passenger list included two female dependents, one under 5 years old, and two civilians.
The plane was believed to have gone down in the Waianae range of mountains.
The Military Air Transport service said the crash is the first accident that MATS unit has had since its organization in 1948.
The downed plane belonged to the MATS Navy Air Transport squadron, based at Moffet field, Calif.
MATS officials said the aircraft had taken off from Hickham field near Honolulu en route to Travis Air Force base in California. No details were available on the cause of the crash, but MATS officers said early reports indicate the plane had turned back after taking off "because of radio trouble."
Land rescue teams from Scho-field barracks, home of the 25th Army division, and from the Luau-luatei naval ammunition depot, where the plane was presumed to have crashed, were ordered to search for the wreckage.
The Lualaalei naval ammunition depot and the nearby naval radio station is one of the most secret installations on the island of Oahu. Stallations on the island of Oahu.
It is located in a wide valley opening guarded by Oahu's highest peak, 4,030-foot Mt. Kaala.
The weather over Oahu island was intermittently rainy but it was not immediately known either rain falling in the area of the crash.
The crash site was believed to be 1,500 yards from the main gate of the ammunition depot and 650 feet up the side of a mountain.
The type of plane was not immediately determined. If it was an Air Force passenger flight flown by MATS, it was probably a military version of the Boeing C-97 Stratoeiser.
If it was a Navy MATS flight, it was probably a military version of a Super-Constellation.
"Leonardo da Vinci," a full length color film which depicts the life and art of Leonardo da Vinci, will be shown Thursday evening at 7:30 and 9:00 in the lecture room of the Museum of Art.
The film, which was produced by the Picture Films corporation, was awarded the Grand Prize for documentary films at the Venice Film festival in 1952.
The film begins with color pictures of the Italian landscape where Leonardo da Vinci lived. This is followed by reproductions of some of his paintings and sculpture, followed by a third section composed of drawings from his notebooks.
Da Vinci Film To Be Shown Thursday
A preview showing, for the University Women's club will be held Wednesday at 3:15 p.m. in the Museum of Art lecture room.

Famed Banned Works On Display in Watson
Bv KENNETH PLUMB
John Milton's plea addressed to the English people for "freedom of the press" is the theme of the Banned and Burned Book now on display at Watson library.
Voltaire, who was thrown into prison in 1717 for libels against Louis XIV. His "Philosophical Dictionary," banned in 1764, is on display. Most of his works were banned at one time or another.
Walt Whitman, who was fired in 1860 by the secretary of the interior who found a copy of Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" in Whitman's desk. Criminal prosecution was threatened in Boston in 1881 unless the books were expurgated.
John Milton's "Areopagitica." 1644, was printed secretly in opposition to a proposed licensing of printing, "Pro Populo," which was burned in 1652 and 1660, is also on exhibit.
Fouche, who wrote a letter to the emperor Napoleon, dated March 9, 1805, outlining the plan of Fouche to control the press and booksellers. Napoleon had an extremely elaborate censorship plan.
Other subjects and their banned works include:
Included in the exhibit are books now considered fundamental to liberal education, and enlightened thought but which were at one time so suppressed that only three or four copies have survived. Others were printed secretly to avoid suppression. Many were forbidden through governmental policy.
Florida Bay, between mainland and the Keys, shelters about 200 spoonbills and 60 nests during breeding season. When the National Audubon Society started protecting them, there were but 35 birds and 10 nests.
Books on exhibit include Bibles in versions of almost all seets which either have been burned or suppressed, including the Estienne, the Geneva, and the Luther. Ovid was banished by Augustus; his works were cast into Savonarola's fire at Rome in 1497 along with books of Dante and Boccaccio.
Ernest Hemingway, whose "A Farewell to Arms," of 1929, was banned in Italy because of the account of the Italian retreat at Caporetto.
