Bricks to Close Temporarily
With the auctioning of the fixtures of Brick's tomorrow and its temporary closing, one of the most popular eating establishments on Mt. Oread will end a phase in its life. As a place to "get-together" for students it will be missed by many who can remember many good times and many social events that were planned and talked over in the booths of Brick's.
Bricken, before purchasing the cafe that up to this time has still borne his name, was a head waiter at Lee's, another popular eating house. He owned and operated Brick's for nine years and then sold it. So popular had the name Brick's become that the name was never changed although owners have changed several times. The present owner is Mr. James Taylor, who also owns and operates the Cottage on Eleventh street.
Brick's, located just off the campus on Oread avenue, has for many years been a popular meeting place for KU students. Originally the Oread Cafe, it was bought by E. C. Bricken in the spring of 1914 and soon became known as Brick's Place a name that was soon shortened to Brick's.
Auctioning of the fixtures will be tomorrow, Mr. Taylor stated. He also said that Brick's would be reopened next September providing conditions at that time will permit. Rationing and other restrictions make it difficult to operate an eating place now, he said.

Party Ends Art Exhibit; 200 Attend
Flickering candlelight, the strains of music, the soft murmuring of fortune tellers in their booths furnished the continental background of the studio party which 220 guests at the Art Conference and Exhibit attended Friday night at Spooner-Thayer museum.
Tables covered with bright print cloths and decorated with candles in colorful holders and various shades of paper containers full of breadsticks lined the halls and filled several rooms. Straw creations made with rye straws and colored yarns were the favors.

Intermingling among the guests were five artists who sketched anyone who wanted to pose. The artists,

The University is setting up a new vocational guidance and counseling center and curriculum, it was announced today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott. The new center is designed to meet one of the great needs of the post-war period.
This new service to the state will have a three-fold purpose. It will serve as a center of counseling and advice for students and for returning members of the armed forces and others. Built around this new center will also be two new four-year major fields of study, consisting of Educational Guidance, and Industrial Personnel Administration. The major in Educational Guidance will be under the administration of the School of Education.
