Buildings in Laurence
Business Area; Would
Handle Traffic Better
If the business district of Lawrence ever decides to get its face lifted, the school of Engineering and Architecture will have plans available for just that sort of thing, J. M. Kellogg, Professor of architecture, yesterday.
While the work may serve merely as valuable training for the students, Professor Kellogg pointed out that such changes are actually being made in samil American cities with good results.
Fifteen junior and senior architects have just completed a preliminary survey of architectural shortcomings of the downtown area. By the end of the semester they plan to complete designs and specifications for an ideal group of stores, theaters, a civic center, and parking lots. The problem of parking also will be handled in detail.
Because unfavorable impressions of a small town are often created when motorists see unsightly buildings, the city will develop new way approaches will be beautified.
When the 'project' is completed, the Chamber of Commerce here will exhibit sketches of new build- er designs or exposed changes in existing ones.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1938
A solution of the traffic problem has not been completed, although
has not been completed, although several tentative ideas have been developed. One scheme would arrange parking places behind the buildings on either side of the alley. However, with the new designs in effect the alleys wouldn't actually be alleys as now exist; the rooms and store buildings would be just as nice looking as the fronts. The other alternative would be to clear areas along Vermont and New Hampshire streets.
Professor Kellogg stressed the idea that the work would not be extremely visionary or impractical. He said, some present buildings probably would be left just as they are.

Federal Agents
Search Laurence
For Matijana
Federal narcotics agents pecked and peered through weed patches in this vicinity in search of marijuana, habit forming cigarette weed, early this week.
Jay Parker, assistant attorney general and J.L. McCormick, Wichita federal narcotics agent, were in Lawrence to view the wild hemp crop in this area. No report has been issued here, but Parker and McCormick have located patches of marijuana in Topeka near the city dump, and in Leavenworth along the railroad tracks.
All marijuana found in this vicinity will be stamped out.
Alter Type Of Contest
Students Must Guess To Win Jayhawker Trip to Hollywood
The means to the end has been changed. Meaning that the type of contest sponsored by the Jawhaker magazine, which will give two University students, a man and woman, 10-day vacation in Hollywood during the Christmas holidays, has been radically altered.
Previously the contest was to have been on the basis of an essay of 100 words, describing what the author would have done had he gained the trip to the Movie Capital. The new contest, which is to replace the essay type, will be a guessing game. A sealed jar of beans will be placed in the lobby of the Granada theater this evening, and the two students who most nearly calculate the number will be looking forward to a real Christmas vacation. The contestants must also obtain on the back of their subscription receipts the signatures of three lahawker advertisers.
Second prize for men students will be merchandise valued at $25 at Ober's. Weaver's Department store is the second prize for women students.
Judges of the contest will be Mayor Alfred Lawrence, Edwin Browne, c'39, and Marvin Goebel, c'40. They will buy the beans this week in the jar. The beans will not be counted until the contest closes Dec. 10.
All contest entries must be in by Dec. 1.
Second student recital will be held this afternoon in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall at 3:30.

Textile designs, pottery, etchings paintings, and jewelry are on display in the exhibition rooms, studios, and third floor corridors or West Frank Strong hall in the department of design.
Lack of space has necessitated the use of the corridors for exhibition purposes as well as the several studios and exhibition rooms. Two new studies have been added along the corridor.
The corridors are colorful with abstract, flower, and nature designs. There are also designs for children's draperies, and printed silk and satin
All of the pottery made by the students is fired in the kiln in the basement of Haworth hall.
Art Department Displays Exhibits in Frank Strong
In the show cases along the halls are student exhibitions of many various crafts. Among things to see are a beautiful wooden bound book, engraved wooden bowls, engraved aluminum trays, a copper etched tray, jewelry, tile, and glazed pottery.

Another case shows an odd collection of Swedish handicrafts purchased by Miss Whitney. Odd-looking pottery, a quaint copper tea kettle, Swedish dolls, and toys attract the visitor's eye.
Miss Whitney's exhibit will continue through October only. There is always an exhibition of student work throughout the entire department. The student exhibits change approximately every month.
One case displays types of Swedish wood carving. There is also some wool which she spun and prepared for weaving.
Czech Cabinet Will Consider Proposals
New Government Talks Of Collaboration With Rome-Berlin Axis After Benes' Resignation
Prague, Oct. 6 (Thursday).—(UP)—The new government of Premier-General Jan Syrov met at midnight to study "far-reaching proposals" rushed here from Berlin to bring Czechoslovakia to collaboration with the Rome-Berlin axis, following resignation of president Eduard Benes
Benez, helpless to prevent the dismembered republic shift towards friendship with the German Reich, resigned yesterday with a silent farewell, and plea for national unity.
The contents of the new German proposal, brought here by General Husrcek of the Czech cabinet, were not revealed but in Germany the newspapers of Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Geerling, said that a member of the present party might have been killed in an oikokinia envisages a real clarification and progressive normalization of German-Czech relations."
He said that he could not admit further to the "overpowering might of our neighbors with whom we must now reach an understanding." Fuebler Adolph Hitler had called the 54-year-old president, one of founders of this post-war rebellion of the "madman" of central Europe.
Czechoslovakia's new pro-German and pro-Italian foreign minister, Franck Tsvikovakov, is a memoir of present party, it was pointed out.
"Benes in his own interests aimed at opening the door for Bolshevism in central Europe," the newspaper said.
Sixty Attend A. L.C.F.Meet
Sixty chemical engineering students attended the first meeting of the local junior branch of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers held in the men's lounge of the Union building last night.
The program included speeches by Dean Ivan C. Crawford, and Thos H. Marshall, professor of chemical engineering, and was climaxed with a motion picture portraying the romance of modern machinery, the development of which has been dependent on sound engineering.

The adaptation of Sophocle's "Antigone" for presentation by the Radio Speech students over station KFKU next Tuesday, Oct. 11, has once again proven the old assertion that the Greek is unsurpassed as a theatric technician. The thirty-unit production by Rolla Nuckles, instructor in the department of speech and dramatic art and will be directed by him.
Arthur Lorenz, e 39, president of the group, introduced Dr. W. D. Wisher, new faculty member of the department. The next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 28. The meeting place has not been decided upon yet.
Varsity Dance Delayed:
Kuhn To Play Next Week
Students of Radio Speech To Be in Sophocles' Play
At popular request, the varsity dance scheduled for Saturday night in the Memorial Union ballroom will be postponed one week.
The exigencies of the radio play are such that they have required intensive rehearsals by the Hill actors in choric speech. This novel type of production has presented many difficulties but has provided interesting problems in radio stage-craft.
"Anugalne," the most representative play of the tragic playwrite, is noted for being a marvel of craftsmanship. It has beyond-review approach for 3,000 years.
Optimistic students and jiving band members declare they will feel more like swinging out after seeing the Jayahay, a girl who is sick and sod then after watching a less dressed Washburn crew go down to defeat.
Louie Kuhn's band will play for the varsity Oct. 15.
NUMBER 17
perform burial rites over the corpse of her brother regardless of the fact Kreon, the king, has forbidden it on pain of death. Bravely defying the king she preforms the rites and is condemned to death despite the fact she is the betrothed of Kreon's son Haemon. The play ends with her death and the suicide of her lover.
Before the Greek's time the chorus was most important with the acting serving only as interludes, justly proving the fact he was the father of drama as the world knows today.
When Sophocles began to write in the fifth century, BC, he made the important innovation of introducing the third actor paving the way for the actors supremacy and the use of the plot.
Mr. Nuckles said today that he will endeavor to present the play in the form and manner essentially Grecian.
