The engineering students may deal in cold blue steel but they are not immune to bare facts, especially those of a nail made drawing in Mavlh holl mullion.
The promoters of the architectural drawing exhibit on the third floor are using the drawing for an eye-stopper and sucker bait. The boys stop dead when they see the unexcused student and professors going to the third floor, we guess that it serves its purpose.
Two hours after deadline—or the Pi Phi corner: Mary Bantleen received a letter from a sailor who saw her picture in College Humor She is going to answer it and get his picture. Who knows, maybe she can give a sister a date some of these vaticans. In the Demo League she came that way at the Walford (Walford) Sturm is going out for football after next thanksgiving so as to even up competition. . . Jayne Coats carries on while being carried from the Union Fountain on the sturdy shoulders of that Beta Casanova, John Stratton. In her bare feet, too. . . Mary Lewis and M. A. Bantleen gripping at us because we were in the Sour Owl picture that filled up space on the last page of the College Humor deal.
Since we are suffering from the necessity of having to make corrections, we are going to clean the slate up to date with this last one: Dave Hamlin was not the fellow in the Grill in Topeka. He was in K.C at the time, or so he sends us that so there that he should have hard feelings that he should have been in the Grill, and if he hasn't been there he would do us a favor by going, so that our honesty and integrity may be preserved. Oh, yes!

The physical chemistry research will be moved into the basement where the organic chemistry lab is located. The laboratory will be moved to the assaying laboratory, which will occupy new rooms being built for it in Haworth hall.
Rearrangements M a d e To Accommodate New Engineering Class
Tentative plans for rearrangement of the chemistry laboratories were announced yesterday by Dr. H. P. Cady, professor of chemistry. The changes are in anticipation of the plans of the School of Engineering to have its freshmen take a regularly prescribed course beginning next fall. This will mean that the Chemistry II classes will be much larger in the fall, and Chemistry III classes will be larger every spring.
When the rearrangements are completed the third floor of Bailey chemical laboratories will contain Chemistry II and III laboratories. On the second floor will be Chemistry I. Quantitative Analysis laboratories.
Plan Chem Lab Changes
Room 110, the physical chemistry laboratory, will be expanded to approximately its present capacity and expand your enrollment in those classes.
New equipment which will be needed to handle the peak loads in Chemistry II and III and the additional equipment for physical chemistry will cost about $5,000. Doctor Cady estimated. Work on the remodeling will begin this summer. Exactly what changes in the building will be made is not known at present because the amount of money the budget will allow to be used has not been determined.
Hollywood, March. 17. —(UP) John McCormick, the tritan tonight offered himself as a candidate to run for president as president of the Irish Free State

The pharmacy museum yesterday received a new addition—an original iodine keg, used for shipping crude iodine from Chile. The keg, about 18 inches high, is made of wood, and covered with green horsehide. The horsehide, which now has most of the hair worn on it, was cut into three thighs, and was used to keep the iodine from sifting out into the ship's hold. This method for shipping iodine is no longer employed, and these kegs are now rare.
Pharmacy Museum Receives Iodine Keg
The keg was presented to the department by O. M. Keebaugh and J. F. Badgett in behalf of the Merck Chemical company. They had considerable trouble in finding one of the kegs for the museum.
Sigma Xi Honors Four Veterans
Stevens, Rice, Dains,
Cady Given Certificate
Of Life e-Membership
In the Society
Four veteran members of the Kansas chapter of the Society of the Sigma Xi were honored last night for their more than 40 years of membership. Each was presented with a beautifully lettered certificate of life-membership in the society.
The men thus honored were Prof. W. C. Stevens, professor of botany; Prof. Martin E. Rice, associate professor of physics; Dr. F. B. Dains, and Dr. H. P. Cady, professors of chemistry.
The Kansas chapter of the Sigma Xi (Companions in Zealous Research) was the first in any state university, the first west of the Mississippi, and fourth in the midwest. Professor Stevens was meeting April 21, 1890, and at that meeting elected Professor Stevens to membership.
Professor Stevens received his B.S. degree at the University in 1885, and his M.S. in 1893. He joined the University staff in 1889. His text, "Plant Anatomy," has gone through four editions. He is author also of "Introduction to Botany" and numerous magazine articles.
Stevens and Rice are Alumni
Professor Rice received his B.S. degree here in 1891 and his M.S. in 1893. It was while doing graduate study that he was elected to Sigma phi,诞庆 25, 1893. He joined the staff of the University in the fall of 1891.
Mrs. Rice, who before their marriage taught mathematics at the University, is also a member of a committee which was elected by the Illinois chapter.
Cady Found Kansas Helium
Dr. Dains, of the four, is not a University graduate. He was on the staff of the University in 1883-94, and was elected to Sigma Xi here. After teaching elsewhere, he joined the University staff in 1911.
Dr. Dains is the author of several books and of numerous papers on chemical subjects.
Dr. Crady received his A.B. degree here in 1897, having been elected to Sigma Xi Dec. 7, 1896. After two years of graduate work at Cornell, he returned to Kansas for his Ph.D., which he received in 1903.
Dctor Cady attained considerable fame by identifying helium as a constituent of some natural gas in Kansas, and he had a large part in the development of commercial material for "limiter-than-air" transportation.
He has invented, also, a device by which the molar weight of gases can be ascertained simply by adjusting the balance of a scales and reading the figures, instead of the former long and laborious computations. He is the author of numerous texts.
The Kansas chapter of Sigma Xi has had in the 48 years of its existence more than seven hundred members, some of whom have attained considerable fame. Among the more famous have been El Ed Franklin, 90, one-time president of the American Chemical Society; E. V. McCollum, 62, discoverer of vitamins A and D; the Institute of Industrial Research; Dr. Samuel W. Williston, noted paleontologist; and Dr. Charles A. Kraus, president-elect of the American Chemical Society.
All students wishing to serve on committees set up under the new Memorial Union activities plan are asked to apply at the office of Jack Townsend, student manager, in the Memorial Union basement. Every student who desires to help will be given an opportunity to aid on some committee.
Sherwood is Sigma Xi President
President of the society this year is Dr. N. P. Sherwood, and the secretary is Dr. W. H. Schowe.
A new marching song, "Rotarians, March On," has recently been completed by Dr. Otto Missner and arranged for military bands by Lynn Hacker, fauncl. It will be presented by the University band in a broadcast over KFKU next Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Blushing Caller
Wants Rules Posted
In Corbin Hall
A student living in Corbin hair had an out-of-town caller Wednesday night. The young man boldly entered the vestibule and asked where he had no attention. Finally he said, "Pardon me, would you mind calling"
While the young lady was preparing to come downstairs the visitor was left to his own resources. Seeing a davenport handy, he seated himself there, picked up a Kunzinger toy and put on a secular etiquette cast in his direction.
10. me:
"Oh, no," replied the girls, "not at all."
When the young lady came down-stairs she told him that gentlemen were not allowed in the house after 8:30 p.m., and led him to the porch. A short time later the light began to flare, and he perceived 'that it was closing time.'
As his friends had not returned for him he paced up and down the block. Growing a bit self-conscious after 10 minutes had passed, he attempted to alter his appearance by carrying his hat in his hand or turning the brim down. He thrust his hand into his pocket to find he had carried away that Kansan he had seen reading.
NUMBER 117
The young man reached the conclusion that rules of conduct for the unimitted should be posted on the Hill.

Howes Discusses European Newspapers
Cicci Howes, head of the Topeka bureau of the Kansas City Star, yesterday afternoon delivered a lecture to newspapers to journalism majors.
Except in those nations having dictatorships the press has a great deal of freedom except in strictly adhered matters, according to Mr. Howes.
European newspapers differ from American ones in that the former have small staffs, relying principally on syndicated material and correspondents. American comics such as "Popeye," "Little Orphan Annie," and "Off the Record" are popular in Sweden.
Mr. Howes also called attention to the difference in makeup. The London Times devotes its first three pages to want ads and shaves the important news toward the back section.
