University Daily Kansan Dear Editor:
I have heard it rumored that our financial wizards are creating for us, at the approximate cost of $4,000, a cement "slab" near Potter lake on which we shall be privileged to dance away our idle hours. Furthermore, I have heard that the music for this festivity will come to us through a "pipe" from civilization atop Mt. Oread.
If all this is true, who's going to bargain with the various species of insect life to keep them from annoying the starlight dancers? When winter comes, do we have arrangements made whereby we can flood the "slab" and ice-skate on it? Have we a pre-arranged method of providing umbrellas for the pleasure seekers when it begins to rain?
Someone in the noble ranks of our faculty must have seen how utterly impractical the slab would be as a means for student recreation, for, as I see it, the enjoyment gained would be practically nil. If we have $4,000 to spend, why don't we use our heads and spend wisely? K.U. needs a place where the student body can dance, drink cokes, hear music and be generally entertained. The "Last Resort" started well, but it didn't go far enough. I'm sure the student body would back an idea of that sort much quicker than they will your slab. C.C.
Editor's Note:
The pavilion was planned, not by a faculty member, but by the Memorial Union Operating committee of the All-Student council, with its faculty advisers, and in consultation with U. Floyd Rible, a Los Angeles architect. The major part of the fund was given by the class of 1943 for this purpose. The pavilion is not an end in itself, but is part of a long-range student recreational development i including a sheltered pavilion, picnic facilities, and an arbor. The project was put before the students last year, and no one raised any serious objections, so it was undertaken.

Rock Chalk Talk
By BYRON SHUTZ and CAROLYN MERL
Dixie Gilliland, Chi O, has been taking her responsibilities as a Mortar Board freshman counselor rather seriously, wearing her black badge every day and being as advisory as possible on all occasions. Consequently it was quite a blow to her the other afternoon when she gave her most beneficient old-girl smile to a freshman, only to have the child pause, approach her, and with a sigh exclaim, "Oh, are you a freshman, too?"

Tex Langford, bulky center, just about got booted off the football squad the other afternoon, much to the distress of Coach Shenk. Tex passed the ball back to a new punt man, and straightened up to perform one of the speediest interceptions in football history. He used his head.

The best varsity debate season in four years was predicted today by Prof. E. C. Buehler, professor of speech. The debate program will be expanded in proportion to the University's increased enrollment, he said.
Debate Program To Be Expanded
A forensic rally next month will give new students an opportunity to show interest in various types of public speaking. Debate tryouts will be held later.
A debate conference for high school students, with a demonstration debate with Wichita university on "Compulsory Military Training," will be held here Oct. 20. A return debate will be in Wichita, Oct. 27.
Members of last year's varsity debate team enrolled now are Sarah Marks, Jim Crook, Orville Roberts, Clyde Jacobs, and Jean Moore.
Mabel Elliott Writes For Encyclopedia
Kansas City, received the customary rush letters from a number of Hill fraternities. None of them, however, were answered except the Phi Psi's. Sidney's father was a Phi Psi. In the communication, the rushee laid claim to a knowledge of the Phi Psi reputation for pranks—but she said, she never had heard of them going so far as to pledge a girl. The Psi's got a good class—but they lost Sydney to the A.O.Pi's.
Miss Mabel Elliott, associate professor of sociology, has completed a series of sociological articles for the new American People encyclopedia which is to be used by high school students.
She also has ready for publication a monograph, "Coercion in Penal Treatment, Past and Present," to be published by the Quaker Research foundation, Philadelphia, Pa. This study was made in connection with a survey of forms of punishment given prisoners in various state prisons.
Engineering Professors On Tour

Phillips of the electrical engineering department will leave Wednesday for a three-day tour of the Armour Institute in Chicago and the Allis-Chalmers company in Milwaukee.
An orphan asylum founded by George Whitefield in 1740 still stands 10 miles south of Savannah, Ga.
Engineering Professors On Tour
A bit of campus slander from a fairly reliable source involves not only the usual well-know triangle, but a fourth person, besides. Way out on one corner of the square is Dick Sevier, Phi Pi pledge, and on the other three corners are a Theta, a Chi O, and a Kappa. There seems to have been a date for Saturday night arranged with each one. The two losers aren't definite—but we have a hunch the Chi O didn't stay home.

Carthage Fragment On Display in Thayer
The stone carving of a woman's head is a fragment of a relief decoration from a wall at Carthage. It dates from the second century and is a fine example of the idealized sculpture of the great Roman empire; Mrs. Warner said.
A piece of Graeco-Roman sculpture has been chosen Masterpiece of the Month by Thayer museum for exhibit during October, Mrs. Mary Margaret Warner, curator, announced today. It is displayed at the south wall of the first floor.
Graeco - Roman sculpture was wrought by Greek artists who worked under Roman patronage, and the Greek tradition which animated their work is well illustrated in the treatment of this head, particularly the curls and the eye, Mrs. Warner added.
Capt. Baer Teaches Renewed Courses
The University is swinging into reconversion. Though not yet released from the army, Capt. Charles Baer began teaching classes in engineering drawing and descriptive geometry. Monday, Chancellor Malott has announced his appointment as instructor in the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Captain Baer, who is now on terminal leave from the army and will soon be discharged, entered the service soon after his graduation in 1941 as a civil engineer. He saw action in the Italian campaign as an artillery officer.
