The new room will be the social center of the Student Union until hed. Nightly dances will be the main att
A part of the floor will be cleared every night for dancing. The room has soft-colored lights and a complete new paint job.
Friday, workers finished putting up a 47 by $ \frac{4}{12} $ foot canvas mural on the wall. The work depicts life along the trail and includes Indians, trappers, a stagecoach, and a covered wagon.
The painting was done by Harry Crain who received his bachelor of fine arts in August. All the members of Prof. Raymond Eastwood's advanced drawing and painting class entered a contest to do the job.
Prof. Eastwood picked the 10 best paintings and submitted them to the Union operating committee. They selected Mr. Crain's as the one most typifying the spirit of the Trail room.
Prof. Eastwood said the work does not depict any specific trail or time in history, but is more a study of life on the trail than a historical picture.
"The Trail room is just part of the new expanded service the Union will give students," Frank Burge, Union director, explained. Mr. Burge also said that during the day, the Trail room will be used as before for coffee and meals.

Powderpuff Gridders Postpone Tilt Again

New York—(U.P.)-Key figures in President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower's administrative organization visited his Columbia university residence today.
There were no immediate announcements of the subjects under discussion.
Among the callers were John Foster Dulles, secretary of state designate; Arthur H. Vandenberg Jr., an administrative assistant to Gen. Elsenhower; Harold E. Stassen, who will head the Mutual Security agency; New York banker Winthrop W. Aldrich, new ambassador to Great Britain; and Dr. Gabriel Hauge, who will become a member of the White House administrative staff.
Time Correspondent Tells Journalists Cleanup in Washington Will Be Swift
Mr. Aldrich's appointment was announced yesterday by Mr. Vandenberg. He also announced appointment of a special three-man committee, under the chairmanship of Nelson A. Rockefeller, which will represent Gen. Eisenhower in the development "and review of a study of the organization of the executive branch of the government."
Mr. Aldrich, 67-year-old chairman of the Chase National Bank of New York and an active participant in Gen. Eisenhower's campaign, will succeed Walter S. Gifford at the Court of St. James. Mr. Gifford had advised Gen. Eisenhower and President Truman that he planned to resign, regardless of the outcome of the election.
"The crusade in Europe will be like a shovel, compared to the crusade in Washington," Frank McNaughton, special correspondent for Time and Life, told the Editorial class this morning.
Mr. McNaughton, guest lecturer at the William Allen White School of Journalism, spoke on "Washington: 1853." He has covered almost every government department as a reporter and for two years was a regular member of the "Meet the Press" radio and TV shows.
Mr. McNaughton reported that the first man Mr. Eisenhower finds
The first three months of Mr. Eisenhower's administration will set a pattern of clean government, Mr. McNaughton said. Unlike the previous administration, the president-elect will operate strictly on merit, not rely on friends.

Mr. McNaughton thought the choice of Charles Wilson an excellent one for the post of secretary of defense. Herbert Brownell, the new attorney general, is also an ideal man as he was one of the best lawyers in New York and a ruthless investigator, the lecturer said.
with his hand in the jam pot and with jam on his face will be fired so hard and so far there will be no public doubt of the administration's integrity.
This is where Mr. Truman's trouble started, the lecturer said. If he had immediately fired the 5 percenters instead of sticking by them, he would not have had 60 per cent of his trouble.
In regard to the cabinet, Mr. McNaughton said the president-elect wanted men who represented the interest of the country, not entirely
In summing up, Mr. McNaughton said that the biggest problems facing the president-elect are trimming the budget, the vitalizing of foreign policy, advancing military preparedness, making an effective loyalty program, and stopping the war over civil rights.
On the campus construction work was halted on the Science building Nov. 21. Workers have not yet returned to that project, a layoff of 11 days today.
However, work on the Student Union building, which is in its final stages of completion, was not affected by the storm.
New snow which fell last night had the streets leading to the campus closed during the 8 o'clock rush this morning. However, city street and buildings and grounds crews had sanded the slick spots and most trafficways were open by mid-morning.
Last night's snowfall in Lawrence measured one inch with a moisture content of .13 inches, according to C. J. Posey, volunteer weather observer.
Minor traffic accidents kept Lawrence police and Douglas county sheriff's office deputies busy over the vacation, but no serious accidents involving University students occurred in the area.
A Lawrence policeman was hospitalized and another person injured in a freak collision on Thanksgiving day. This was the only major accident to occur in the area.
One cheerful note in the weather picture was the weather bureau's prediction of clearing skies with rising temperatures tonight and tomorrow. However, the Kansas-Missouri forecast area would probably have to contend with snow turning to freezing rain in many sections today before the situation would improve.
Six students were injured—one seriously—in automobile accidents during the Thanksgiving holiday.
