Two Will Study Plans For Union
Preliminary steps which may lead to the construction of a new wing on the Memorial Union building will be taken Friday when Henry Werner, men's student adviser, and Bill Farmer, M. S.C. president, go to Kansas City to study tentative architect's plans.
Present plans would call for construction of a north wing on the building, built as a memorial to University students killed in the World War.
Of two contesting groups, one was in favor of a monument or tower, the other of putting the money into something which might be more useful. The latter group won out and the question developed of whether a stadium or a student union building was most needed.
During this time Dr. Forrest C. Allen was made athletic director and he had the definite idea of building a stadium to be dedicated to Tommy Johnson, Kansas' greatest athlete, who received an injury during the football season of 1910 and died a year later.
Allen began working toward getting a stadium and had plans drawn up for the structure. Students insisted on a union building, so the two groups compromised and decided to have both. The plan was to raise one million dollars, half to go toward the building of each.
Pledges of $695,391 from 11,800 persons were gotten, but only 9,000 actually paid their pledge. Approximately $625,000 was gotten from the payment of these pledges.
The stadium was given $288,000 and the union received $210,000—the other $127,000 going for administrative costs.

Biologists Play At Christmas Party
Dancing, dining, stunts and plays highlighted the Pan-Bio Christmas party held Friday night in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Members from the various clubs displayed their acting talent in a play called "A Day in Snow Hall."
The zoology club gave an imitation of a zoology class under Prof. H. H. Lane, while the Botany club presented an imitation of a botany class under Prof. A. J. Mix. The Entomology club pantomimed an imitation of a PhD. examination and the Bacteriology club imitated a class under Dr. N. P. Sherwood, professor of bacteriology.
The members were then served sandwiches, hot chocolate and cookies. The last hour was spent in dancing.
Students To Write On Foreign Policy
Tackling a problem which has stumped some of the best minds in the world, Byron Yost, graduate, Carter Butler, college senior, and Jim Surface, college junior, under the guidance of H. B. Chubb, professor of political science, will represent the University of Kansas in an essay contest on American Foreign policy.
This contest, sponsored by the College of William and Mary in Virginia, requires that each competing essay be written by a committee of three students under faculty supervision.
The title of the essay will be "The Next Decade of American Foreign Policy." Three national prizes of $450 each and nine regional prizes of $300 each will be awarded "by men of national reputation in the field."
A Greyhound ticket is Holiday "fun insurance"—combining the thrill of romantic highways—the comfort of warm, filtered air and big reclining chairs—plus pleasant and congenial fellow passengers.
