WORK FOR FUN
Hobby Workshop is New
BUT NO CREDIT
Student hobbyists are urged by Marjorie Whitney, professor of design, to take advantage of the facilities offered this year by the hobby workshop.
The workshop is in operation this semester for the first time, and is under the supervision of Miss Whitney. The class meets weekly on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 to 10:00 in room 318, Frank Strong hall. Assisting Miss Whitney as instructors are Miss Betty Schwartz and Harvey Jacobson. No University credit is given in this purely informal $ ^{†} $
is given in this purely informal class.
At present seven students are enrolled, with available facilities still remaining for at least 20 more hobbyists. Instruction can be received in the crafts of silver and copper smithing, pottery making, jewelry finishing, and numerous other avocations which might appeal to the students.
Exhibitions of the students' work are being planned for later in the school year. Should the course be a success, Miss Whitney stated, school authorities are considering moving the site of the workshop next year to the new wing of the Memorial Union building, if the wing is ready for service at that time.
Engineers Hold Smoker
The annual fall smoker of the Kansas chapter of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers was held last evening in the Kansas room of the Student Union building. It was designed primarily to give new freshmen electricals a chance to get acquainted with the student branch of the A.I.EE.
Brief talks were given by Professors Hessler and Koopman regarding their experiences this summer while working for General Electric in Schenectady, N. Y.
A possible senior inspection trip to St. Louis Oct 6 was discussed by the group. Plans, however, are only tentative.
Whitla Employed On Dam Project
R. E. Whitla, formerly a geologist in the mineral resources division of the Kansas Geological Survey, is now in the employ of the federal government as a junior geologist for the U.S. corps of engineers.
Whitlas's assignment is in connection with the building of a 2,624 foot dam, 230 feet high, on the North Fork
river, a tributary of the White river in Arkansas. According to Whitla this dam, constructed for flood control purposes will be the fifth largest concrete dam in the United tates, and will cost approximately $16,000,000 In June, 1939, Whitla received his A.M. degree from Kansas university At present he is stationed at Mountain Home, Ark.
Pate Talks At Math Colloqium
The first semi-monthly mathematics colloquium was held last night in Frank Strong hall. These meetings, held for graduate students and faculty members, are for the purpose of general discussion in the field of mathematics. Dr. R. S. Pate, former instructor of mathematics at the University of Illinois, spoke on the general theory of multigroups. Pate replaces Philip O. Bell, professor of mathematics, who is on a year's leave of absence at Princeton.
The second and fourth Thursday of every month will be the meeting dates for mathematics colloquium. Efforts are now being made to secure outstanding speakers from neighboring universities for future meetings.
Hill Happenings
Mildred Buoy, freshman at 1244 Louisiana, evidently heard "Chattanooga Choo Choo" once too often. About two o'clock this morning Millie suddenly shouted, "Pardon me, boy!" Roommate Mary Morrison echoed, "What, yes is it?"
"Why, that's the Chattanooga Choo Choo," sang Millie, and slept on, still unaware of her outburst.
Delta Chi pledges had no transportation problem on their walkout to Kansas City Wednesday night. They took the actives' cars! The actives learned of the exodus in time to save the silverware, and coffeed themselves awake to wait for the wanderers. A warm reception is reported.

ELIZABETH MEGUIAR,
Daylight Saving Ends Sunday
Washington, Sept. 26 - (UP) The Federal Power commission today announced that it will not recommend a continuance of daylight saving time in any section of the country beyond this Sunday.
The commission reached its decision following a canvass of the power situation throughout the United States and an analysis of the effect of summer daylight saving time in the Southeast.
The FPC emphasized, however, that the announcement "does not preclude the possibility that a resumption of daylight saving, or its establishment in other areas, may be recommended if the circumstances warrant."
IT'S Terrific! ORSON WELLES "Citizen Kane"
"The commission reiterates its conviction that, in order to meet effectively any emergency which may arise in the future, the bill now under consideration by the congress which would authorize the president to establish daylight saving time wherever required, should be enacted as an essential part of the defense program," Chairman Leland Olds said.
