Lawrence Teacher Tells Art Club About Fingerpainting
"Anyone can do a good job finger-painting." Miss Helen Shaw, primary teacher in the Lawrence schools, told the Art club Tuesday night.
"Adults don't like finger painting at first because they think it is too messy, but children love it," Miss Shaw continued. "It is interesting to watch children work to music. Something like McDowell's 'To a Wild Rose' inspires graceful swirls and circles, while a march produces an entirely different effect," she added.

NEWS OF THE K.U. MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN
FOR K.U.'S FUTURE
Besides being a memorial to the sacrifices of K.U. men and women in World War II, the Scenic Driveway to be built on Mt. Oread as a part of the University Memorial has three other important functions, according to a statement released today by Justice Hugo T. Wedell, president of the K.U. Memorial Association. "We are planning," Justice Wedell said, "a beautiful, enduring and fitting memorial to the 8,000 K.U. men and women who took part in the recent war. The Driveway and Campanile are designed specifically for that purpose."
that purpose." "Fortunately, however, the Memorial will serve three other valuable purposes."
The three purposes outlined by Justice Wedell are: serving the campus of the future; beautifying the present campus; and developing a model which other schools and communities will be interested in following.
Future Expansion Important
There are now planned for the University new buildings which will cost in excess of one million dollars and for which funds are assured. When materials and men are available construction will begin on: five residence halls; engineering shops building; addition to Watson library; addition to Memorial Union; and remodelling of the present Fowler Shops for use by the new William Allen White School of Journalism.
Since the present campus, atop Mt. Oread, affords no new building sites, expansion of the University plant will have to go north and south of the Hill. The construction of the Memorial Driveway around the periphery of Mt. Oread will open up new campus areas and tie in the new buildings with the rest of the University.
"The present campus at the University of Kansas," Justice Wedell continued, "is already considered one of the finest in the country. The addition of a splendid scenic driveway with its plantings, skillfully blended into the present scene, will make Mt. Oread a place of transcendent beauty. We feel certain that when this Memorial project is completed we will be able to say that KU. has the loveliest campus of any school anywhere."

of the University not only as a trainer of leaders but in actually displaying leadership.
"It is important," he said, "to realize that what we build in the way of a Memorial on Mt. Oread will stand as a model to other schools and communities. Thousands of students and visitors will see what has been done in Lawrence to memorialize the University's contribution to victory in war. If what they see is inspiring and good, they will want to emulate it in their home communities.
"This 'living' memorial, with its trees, flowers, shrubs, lawns and music, will be worthy of emulation wherever men live together in peace and freedom."
DID YOU KNOW that the University of Kansas was the first university in the mid-western part of the United States to have a stadium and a union? Many schools in the nation are now planning to build stadia and union buildings as World War II memorials.

Mrs. Nettie Lyon, Topeka, of the class of 1901, writes: "My three sons were all in the war and for their sake I would love to help out on this ' alive' memorial."
