LOTTA DIRT Cover Building Activity Brave Perils
By WALLY KUNKEL and GERALD TEWELL
"Where you gonna put this dirt?" we asked him.
"Who the — wants to know?" he spit.
"Er—th—the Kansan."
"Oh! Well, the Chi O's get some. The rest of it goes over to Battenfeld and the Union building. Now get out of here, we're busy."—And he went on to finish his story.
So we went off and sat down on the site of the new R.O.T.C. building.
We noticed that about 500 yards of top-soil had been removed. This good soil would be ruined by the construction materials that would be piled on it in the course of construction.
Outside of two little shacks, one to house building materials, we could see little evidence of progress.
Meandering across the ground floor—and I do mean ground—of the new building, I lost my buddy buddy. He fell into the moist cement of column five on the east wing. Let's hope he likes working in cement.
Disgusted and without a story we got up to leave.
After having covered the construction beat, I tearfully plodded back toward the shack with a story in one hand and a fond memory clinging in my mind.
Next on our construction beat was the new sod house.
Hearing sounds of construction, we looked across the road west and saw one man really going to town on his one-room bungalow of native lumber.
By scientific sounding, whereby I spat into the form for column six, I discovered the depth to be 20 feet. On stepping across the hole, I found it to be two steps wide. That's an awful hole to fill, don't you think?
Dandelion Day Draws Photogs
By all present indications, April 2 will find one of the nation's largest film companies training its cameras on the University campus and its Dandelion Day activities.
Refusing to let the dandelions grow under their feet, officials for the event have called an important meeting of team captains for 4:30 p. m. Monday in the Kansas Room. It is not too late to become a team captain, and interested students should notify Wright.
Charles Wright, fine arts junior, and Dandelion Day commander, has rushed the requested information to Scott.
Officials of the Kansas City bureau of Twentieth Century Fox are enthused over the coming event. W. C. Scott, Kansas City, Mo., district manager for the company, said, "We would like to have a detailed description of the affair as soon as possible. The cameramen are available and only the approval of the home office is necessary."
Music Program In Memory of Skilton Today
In memory of the late Prof. C. S. Skillton, former dean of the School of Fine Arts, a musical program of his own compositions will be performed at 4 o'clock this afternoon in Hoch auditorium.
C. S. SKILTON
... in his memory
The University Symphony orchestra will lead off with the "Prelude to the Opera Electra," and two Indian
The University string quartet, composed of Waldemar Geith, first violin; Eugene Ninginger, second violin; Karl Kuersteiner, viola; and Ray-
dances, the "Deer Dance," and the "War Dance." Joseph and Marie Wilkins will sing the duet from another of Skilton's operas, "The Day of Gayomair." They will be accompanied by Ruth Orcutt, associate professor of piano.

After being welcomed by Chancellor Deane W. Malott at the morning session, they were addressed by Robert Taft, professor of chemistry, on the subject of photography.
Monday is the last day for women students to apply for the position as manager of the Student Book Exchange, O'Theene Huff, president of the W. S. G. A., said yesterday.
Exchange Applications Due Monday
300 Attend High School Science Meet
In the afternoon they attended demonstrations and exhibits. They saw a pingpong ball playing in a jet of air, watched a spark climb up slightly divergent pairs of wires in the demonstration of "Jacob's One-Rung Ladder," and wondered why.
More than 300 high school students swarmed over the Hill yesterday as guests of the departments of chemistry, physics, and chemical engineering to attend the annual physical science conference.
Two conferences were held in the morning. J. D. Stranathan, head of the physics department, lectured on "Particles of Modern Physics," and W. W. Deschner, assistant professor of chemical engineering, spoke on "Why a Chemical Engineer and What Does He Do?"

German Department Loses One--Gains One
Anderson spent a year in Germany as University exchange scholar in 1939. He received his Master's degree from Harvard in 1940 and is now working on his doctorate at Harvard.
Professor Engel is best known for his scientific method of teaching German. By his method students speak from the language from the very beginning, rather than learning a vocabulary and fitting the words together.
E. F. Engel, 75-year-old professor of German, plans to retire in June after 57 years at the University. He has been a faculty member in the department of German for 49 years.
Sam Anderson, graduate in 1938, has been appointed to an instructorship in the department of German at the University for the next school year, Chancellor Malott announced yesterday.
He received his A.B. degree from the University in 1892 and became a member of the teaching staff in the department of German of that year. In 1898, on a leave of absence from the University, he received his Master's degree from Harvard. He then returned to the University.
Engel has traveled widely in Europe where he has studied at several universities. There, as well as in America, his theory has received attention, and while in Europe in (continued to page eight)
