American Indian Day Set Aside
Saturday, Sept. 30, has been set aside by Gov. Andrew F. Schoepel as American Indian Day in appreciation of the contribution of that race to American civilization. There are 1,700 Indians in Kansas representing 400 families. One outstanding player on the University football team is an Indian.
Built for Fire Protection Lake Is Now Decorative
To many, Potti. Lake is the most familiar beauty spot on the campus.

all and the "Ad building."
However, few realize that it was originally built as a method of fire protection to the campus. Formerly the reserve supply and pressure of the city water were such that any serious fire on the Hill would have exhausted the city reserve within five minutes. In 1910, the serious need for water supply prompted the Board of Regents to decide on the construction of Potter Lake. A powerful motor driven pump was installed which would force an ample supply of water to any part of the campus. This accounts for the unique limestone building at the corner end of the lake, where the mechanism is housed.
gatta. Everybody was there, including Senator Potter himself. According to record, the day was exceedingly warm—as most June days in Kansas are. The band led off with a concert that was followed by swimming races, diving contests, canoe races, and water games. Sometime during the course of events, it is reported that a whale was sighted, but just what a whale would be doing in a newly made, fresh water lake is not a matter of record. A boat that put out to capture the whale was capsized, and during the remainder of the afternoon the whale continued to splash about in the water. For all anyone knows, the whale is still there. At least there is no record of his disappearance, or that anyone since has hooked "a whale in Potter's." Six Persons Drown in Lake
Even before the lake was completed, it was the scene of tragedy. Towards the close of the school year, a group of civil engineers were returning home from a big party in Marvin hall. Disregarding the vast quantities of lemonade they had consumed and noticing
Alpha Chi Pinning To Delt Announced
The pinning of Miss Evamay Ecord to Lt. Harry O. Ritter was announced last night at the Alpha Chi Omega sorority house. Martha Haines and Lorraine Teeter assisted in the ceremony and passing chocolates. They wore gardenias with red rose buds.

Miss Ecord is a sophomore in the College, Lt Ritter, who is a member of the air corps, is a former student of the University, having come here from Baker University in 1940. He is a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity and was a junior in the School of Business when he left for the service in February, 1943. He expects to be transferred for overseas duty soon.
Konantz-Stapleton Wedding Vows Read
The marriage of Miss Hazle Marie Konantz of Ft. Scott, and Lt. Harold Jack Stapleton of Lawrence, has been announced. The formal ceremony took place Aug. 4 in Ft. Scott. The couple are now at home in Salina where Lieutenant Stapleton is stationed. Miss Marilyn Konantz, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and Lida Beth Finchan was bridesmaid. Both attendants are members of Gamma Phi Beta sorority.
Mrs. Stapleton was graduated from the College in 1943. She is a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority. Lieutenant Stapleton was a sophomore in the School of Engineering in 1943. He is a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity.
Phi Psi's Meet on Saipan In Unexpected Reunion
A note of appreciation brought three University Phi Kappa Psi fraternity brothers into an unexpected reunion on the tiny island of Saipan in the Pacific recently.
Major Fenlon Durand of the Marine Corps sent a note of appreciation to the officer in charge of getting a safe arrival of supplies through. This officer turned out to be Lt. Robert Fegan, naval gun crew commander. Capt. C. L. Hoover, stationed there with the Airy Air Corps, was summoned for the reunion. All three of the men were from Junction City.
Graduate Is First Lieutenant
The promotion of second lieutenant Douglas F. Miller of Fort Scott, to the rank of first lieutenant was announced today by Lt. Col. John L. Eaton, commanding officer of the Pocatello Army Air Field. Lieutenant Miller is a graduate of the University of Kansas, where he received a degree in business administration in 1940.
how inviting the lake looked, they stripped and went in for a swim. When one was half way across, he went down. His friends made every effort to find him, but it was nearly an hour later before his body was recovered. In 1921, the Kansan reported that at least six students had lost their lives in Potter lake, and urged adequate protection for swimmers. The possibilities of the lake as a place of recreation during the long, hot days of summer school led to a more carefully planned use of the lake. In 1924, a diving tower and a pier, spring boards and dressing rooms for men and women were built; and even more important, lifeguards were provided. At one time, the cementing of the entire basin of lake and the addition of disinfectant to the water was contemplated, but all improvements were abandoned after the completion of a city pool. In 1927, swimming in "Potter's" was banned by an official decree.
