Industrial Design Students Take Varied Course
Efficient co-operation is being displayed by the various schools of the University in making possible the industrial design course of study in the department of fine arts.
A special course in industrial design has been outlined by Earl D. Hay, professor of mechanical engineering, and T. D. Jones, assistant professor of design, but this will be only one of many subjects required for the industrial design major.
Making the interschool cooperation widespread, these fine arts students will take such courses as marketing, in the School of Business, advertising, in the department of journalism and engineering design courses in the School of Engineering.
With the addition of new courses in industrial design and graphic art by the School of Fine Arts, Kansas became the first university to enter this field west of the Mississippi river.
The artist may re-design a machine, but unless he knows something of engineering, it might be an impractical model. And even if it is practical, he probably wouldn't be able to capitalize on his design unless he knew something of advertising and marketing.
The schools are intricately connected, and the highest degree of cooperation will be necessary to make the industrial design major a successful course of study.
Tracing the growth of "industrial streamining." Professor Hay said, "The machine moved into the home right after the World war, giving more emphasis to industrial design. People weren't content with an ordinary machine. It became necessary to make the machine harmonize with household furnishings."
Industrial studies have shown the need for changes in industrial design. Formerly the operator had to fit himself to the machine. Now the machines are being designed to fit the operator to reduce fatigue and increase efficiency.
In attempting to improve upon balance, rhythm, harmony, and color in industrial design, three-dimensional design has been introduced. This has enlarged the field intensely, opening a new series of job possibilities.
Professor Hay described the student who will be most adept in industrial design in this way, "He'll be skilled in mathematics and physics, with a liking for art as well as machines."

ORGANIZED HOUSES--the departments more time to plan their exhibits, and to cut down the amount of time taken from the student's classwork. From 1927 to 1931 the exposition was repeated at two-year intervals.
Mu Alpha, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Nu, and 413 West Fourteenth. Some of the members of these organizations took the vaccine, and some acted as a control group.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service, urged today that negligent students return this data, in order that the efficacy of the vaccine can be determined.
ENGINEERING EXPOSITION
ENGINEERING EXPOSITION neer energy into something useful. By this plan, the engineers would have an exposition every year, in which they would show the public the sort of work done in each department. He showed the plans to Chancellor Lindley, who heartily approved them and set the date for April 24 and 25.
Competitive interest was added when the Kansas City section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers each offered a cup to be given to the department having the best exhibit. The ASME cup was won by the electrical engineers, the civil engineers took the AIEE cup, and everyone pronounced the Exposition a great success.
The show was repeated in 1924 and 1925. In 1926, however, officials decided to postpone the exposition until the next year, in order to give
Then there was a lapse until 1934, and the show has been repeated at regular two-year periods since then. While it was originally scheduled for next year, it was advanced to this year because of the 75th Anniversary celebration. The Exposition will be held April 18-19, and June 4-5.

E. Power Biggs, organist for Victor recordings, presented his recital of organ music in Hoch auditorium last night. Biggs, of the sturdy, beef-eater type, played with remarkable vitality and buoyancy. At times he had to kick the pedals of the none-too-responsive organ rather vigorously, but he succeeded in getting some superb music out of it.

Biggs played Dupre's "Variations on an Old Christmas Melody" so well that the audience demanded four encores. Many commented that Biggs played the piece even better than did Dupre himself when he appeared in Hoch auditorium last year.
Convention delegates and fin arts students, who have been free from all classes during the convention, busied themselves today with master classes, recitals by K.M.T.A members, and various demonstrations.
