Downes Will Open Fine Arts Day
Olin Downes, music critic of the New York Times will open Fine Arts Day on the Hill with his speech at the Fine Arts convocation in Hoch auditorium Tuesday morning. Mr. Downes' speech is titled "Be Your Own Music Critic." The University A Cappella Choir and the University Band are also on the program.
Tuesday evening the annual Fine Arts banquet will be held with Earl E. Harper as the main speaker. Mr. Harper is director of the School of Fine Arts at the University of Iowa In Iowa City. He will speak on "Fine Arts and the Present Crisis."
Highlight of Tuesday will be the Young American Artist program at 8 o'clock that night. The program will be a concert by Virginia Haskins, coloratura soprano of the Chicago Civic Opera Company and Thaddeus Kozuch, the Polish-American pianist.
A Young American Artist Evening has been festured in past years by Dean Swarthout with the idea of helping the truly talented young American musicians to get a "break" in the concert game.
Miss Haskins, who is one of the youngest artists3, made her debut in Chicago in the opera "Mignon" in the same cast with Gladys Swarthout and Tito Schipa.
Thaddeus Kozuch, the Polish- American pianist on the same program with Miss Haskins, had his training under Glenn Dillard Gunn and later under Rudolph Ganz, distinguished concert pianist.
The banquet will be at 6 p.m. in the Memorial Union ballroom and the concert will immediately follow. Student activity tickets will admit students.
Curriculum Confab Here June 17 to 20
"Major Areas of Living Which Modern Schools Emphasize in Curriculum" is the theme for a conference on curriculum building in Kansas schools that is to be held at the University from June 17 to 20.
The conference has been organized by the University in cooperation with the curriculum committee of the Kansas State Teachers association.
Attending the conference will be members of the faculty of the School of Education at the University and teachers from all parts of the state.
Hammer and Saw Building Work Booming
The Rock Chalk Cairn north of Frank Strong hall, Hoch auditorium, first and third floor; the site south of Hoch where the new Military Science building will be located and the rock pile
south of the Repair shops were the scenes of building activity on the campus yesterday.
The stone which contains the plaque dedicated to the founders of the University, formerly located part way up the hill between the stadium and Frank Strong hall, has been moved up to the brow of the hill and a circular wall of native Onaga stone is being built around the memorial. The wall will encircle an area about 30 feet in diameter, with the rock containing the plaque set on an elevated base in the middle surrounded by a shale covered floor.
Plaster and Cement
In Hoch auditorium the University has walled off the north part of the lobby of the second balcony, and carpenters soon will begin putting the finishing touches on 15 new sound-proof music rooms which have been partitioned from the lobby space. The rooms are eight by fifteen feet, and the walls are made of three-inch slabs of pyrobar covered with plaster. Pyrobar is a white gypsum compound which prevents the passage of sound. A new room for an organ also is being constructed on the second floor of the auditorium.
On the ground floor in the rear of the auditorium bricks of stabilized earth are being made by NYA youths. According to some of the workmen's remarks there have been about 25,000 bricks made, and this is only a small part of the number needed for the new Engineering laboratory.
Actual work on the Military Science building has started on the south slope of the Hill. Workmen are digging holes for the piers on which the building will rest. A total of 64 piers must be sunk before the structure above the ground can be started, George W. Algire, supervisor of construction, said yesterday.
The piers, which will be made of steel and concrete, will rest on a shale base and will average 16 feet in depth.
Algire said yesterday that more than half of the stone needed for the building has been cut by men working back of the repair shops. White ledge rock from old Snow hall will be used for the outside walls of the building. Four-fifths of the rubbel rock to be used for backing the wall has been quarried and broken up, Algire said.

(Phone 607 for Service)
Prize winners in the second annual photographic contest in connection with the recent Engineering Exposition, were announced yesterday by George M. Beal, professor of architecture.
Jeanne Brock, fine arts sophomore, had three winning pictures, taking second prize of $4 and two $1.50 prizes.
Wilson Wins Photo Contest
Judges were J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering; K.W. Davidson, director of information; and Duke D'Ambra, Lawrence photographer. Judging was based on the publicity value of the pictures as well as for their artistic merit.
Doctor Poutre was a prominent Kansas physician, having practiced at Horton for nearly 30 years.
Dr. Fred G. Poutre, 53, a graduate of the University School of Medicine in 1910, died Friday at Wadsworth.
Winners must turn in their negatives to Dean Jakosky's office. Prints of uniform size will be made for use by the University, and the negatives will be returned to the owners.
He served as first lieutenant in the Medical Corps during the first World War and was a member of the American Legion. He also was a member of the Kiwanis International and Knights of Columbus.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow.
ule, half of the first floor of the new military building will be completed by the time students return to school next fall, Algire said.
Summer School To Begin Here June 10
The University will have a busy June this year. Summer school will start the day after the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration ends.
Registration for the 1941 summer session will be June 10 and 11. Students will enroll on June 11, and classes will meet on June 12.
On August 6 the summer session will close, except the Schools of Law and Medicine which will last until August 16.
Frances Mitchell, Commerce High School, San Francisco; Guy Salyer, department of guidance, Wwyotte High School, Kansas City; Felix Ulrich, University of San Antonio, Texas; Charles Spain, St. Teresa College, Florence, Ala.; D. L. Hirschler, College of Emporia.
Prof. H. E. Chandler, director of the summer sessions, said yesterday that many summer session directors believed there would be a drop of as much as 20 percent in enrollment of their schools, however Chandler said he thought that the University enrollment would not drop much, if any.
In addition to 130 regular University faculty members nine educators from other schools have been invited in for the summer.
The average enrolment in the summer school is between 1300 and 1350. About half this number are teachers. Any drop in this enrollment might easily be offset by increased enrollment in special defense engineering courses and in the School of Medicine.
They are L. W. Brooks, principal of High School East, Wichita; Donald E. Fletcher, formerly of the University, now connected with the School of Medicine at the University of Arkansas; John L. Jacobs, principal of Junior High School, Lawrence; David T. Lawson, director of instrumental music in the Topeka public schools.
