Sod House Soon Ready As Experimental Station
The east wing of the experiment station for the School of Engineering will be ready for use within the next two weeks, Dean J. J. Jakosky said yesterday. It will be occupied by the department of aeronautics, and will house the staff for aeronautical engineering and the Civil Pilots Training program.
In addition to the staff, a large demonstration classroom will be used to set up a semi-permanent exhibit of aeronautical
equipment. The use of the wing will facilitate efficiency in the department making room for the increased enrollment of 50 students over last year.
The building, which is under the general direction of W. C. McNown, professor of Civil Engineering, asisted by the foreman, Russell Schon, will be completed as fast as labor can be obtained. Shortage of labor has caused the delay in construction. The new building will be utilized for various research projects, some already underway. A paper project at the Lawrence Paper Company conducted by Dr. T. G. Castenguay assisted by Joe Svoboda, and a petroleum reservoir project in the petroleum engineering department under the direction of Dr. E. A. Stephenson assisted by P. T. Amstutz, are two of the major projects.
The walls are made of dirt taken from the south slope of the Hill and then tamped by a method of mixing small amounts of concrete with the dirt. This process was discovered by Professor McKnown. Old Dyche museum provided rafters for the building and an old radio tower provided steel for the lintels of the doors and windows and for most of the reinforcing in the foundation.
Talent
Variety Show
In Light Vein
"Meet the Talent," the first of the variety shows to be presented by the department of speech and drama under the direction of Allen Crafton, professor of speech and dramatic art, will be presented Oct. 26, 27, and 28 at Fraser theater. Student activity tickets will admit but must be exchanged for seats at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall on or after Oct. 23.
The show is made up of several acts. The directors, Allen Crafton and Robert Calderwood of the department of speech and dramatic art, will not guarantee the quality of the various acts, but they do guarantee that all the acts listed below will take place.
The acts are: Prologue: Overture; "Murder in the Afternoon," a murder drama; "Between Classes," singing; "Down By The Erie," more singing; "The Indiscreet Nurse," a domestic tragedy; "Let's Dance, several solo dancers; "Killing Time," practically nothing; "A Woman of Character," a one-act play, "Soap Opry," a radio satire; "A Kiss in Xanadu," a pantomime; "The Tragedy of Brown," a play in nine acts; and "Stage Door Canteen," which will include all the remaining acts which haven't been up to this time.
BUY WAR STAMPS . . .
The Editors Say-he mentioned that technicians in the navy were paid very good wages.
Frank Clough, one of the federal news censors in Washington, said that while he realized many papers had to apologize for the voluntary censorship of the President's recent national tour, no one was put in such an embarrassing position as a foreman of defense industry who arrived home late one night with all the appearances of having been to the local barroom.
To stall off his wife's wrath, he told her that he had been talking to President Roosevelt and to prove his story, they went down to the corner drug-store and bought a copy of the paper. Of course, there was no story and as a result the foreman was in the doghouse for a week and a half before his story was proved true.
At least one Kansas editor is convinced that the navy pays good wages.
Albert Jones, Syvacuse editor, found he had come to the wrong place to find any printers for his shop. He came here with the avowed purpose of hiring a printer and went home with four offers of jobs on other papers, but he didn't get a printer.
Lieut. Ted O'Leary was telling the editors of ways in which they could help the navy in its enlistment publicity. He cited the recruiting propaganda which could be used by editors to aid enlistments in the navy and
Earl Flickertt immediately spoke up, Yes, I know, I lost a limotype operator when I told him of the navy's wages.
Another title has been added to the list used for newspaper men, in addition to the editor, publisher, advertising manager, and others. Basil "Stuffy" Walters, of the Minneapolis Star-Journal, began his address this morning with the words, "Fellow junkdealers."
Lyle Armel Here on Leave
Lyle O. Armel, lieutenant commander on the USS St. Mihiel, is in Lawrence on leave visiting his family. Before entering the service, Armel was assistant secretary of the Endowment association.

PAN-AMERICAN LEAGUE--students in time for the national Pan-American convention to be held at the University of Illinois in the latter part of November. He is hoping to have at least two students representing the University of Kansas at this convention. Lulli is connected with several Washington inter-American institutions as well as with the International Pan-American League.
Has Prominent Leaders
Among the prominent governmental leaders who back this Pan-American organization are the ambassadors of the various Latin American countries in Washington and Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director general of the Pan-American Union. The special advisory council on student affairs is made up in part by Dr. William W. Sweet, University of Chicago; Dr. Herbert Bolton, University of California; and Dr. A. Curtis Wilgus, George Washington University.
ON THE JAYHAWKER SCREEN--students in time for the national Pan-American convention to be held at the University of Illinois in the latter part of November. He is hoping to have at least two students representing the University of Kansas at this convention. Lulli is connected with several Washington inter-American institutions as well as with the International Pan-American League.
The Pan-American League works in close cooperation with the US Department of State, which urges that the nation's colleges and universities work with the organization as part of their drive in the national war effort.
Senior Lulli plans to create the nucleus of the local league from a fairly limited number of interested
The department of Spanish, in conference with Senior Lulu has expressed great sympathy for the successful establishment of the inter-American organization.
Students interested in the work of the league are asked by Lulli to leave their name, address, and telephone number in the office of Henry Werner, room 1, Frank Strong hall. Lulli will contact them for interviews at an early date.
CO-ED COMMANDOS---stick. Apparently mastery of right data on distinguishing right hands from left ones was not required of the average co-ed upon her graduation from high school.
(continued from page six) veniently numerous doors. Basically the hour sounds uninteresting. Just drill and sitting up exercises and maybe a few corrective gymnastics.
Practical application of the "Good Neighbor" policy is seen in this scene from the hilarious Broadway musical comedy hit "Panama Hattie" opening today at the Jayhawker for 5 days. "Panama Hattie" features the stellar cast of funsters—Ann Sothern, Red Skeltan, Rags Ragford, Ben Bluz, Sharma Hunt, Dan Dailey.
You've Got Something There
But line up 80 Kansas co-eds in phys ed costumes (they're white shorts this year and "not bad, not bad"). start yelling left flank, about face and right hep and—it's an undisputable fact—you have something.
The first week or so this "something" was nothing more than slapstick. Apparently mastery of right data on distinguishing right hands from left ones was not required of the average co-ed upon her graduation from high school.

Order from Chaos
At any rate, bruised shins, stubbed toes, and general confusion were the only things to be counted on when an about face signal rang out over the gym during September.
But it's October now and different. The co-eds drill around Robinson with acceptable regimentation and, after getting limbered up, are beginning to go about their calisthenics with slightly distinguishable zip.
According to other reliable courses if that big bad wolf of a Hitler could only get a glimpse of this contingent complete capitulation would be forthcoming.
